In the eyes of everyone, the door on the second floor was opened, but out of the door was not Brando or the former's attendant as the nobles imagined, but a nobleman wearing a noble robe, gray hair, wrinkles and old age spots, trembling nobleman, everyone was stunned, because this person was the lord of Fatan, Ludwig. Baron Metz. In silence, the baron slowly came to the handrail, glanced at everyone majestically, and only stopped for a moment on the Count of Orcons and the others, and then spoke: "I am very sorry that you have come to my territory as guests, and I have heard of what is happening in the south, but why have you gathered in my castle today?" ”

There was a dead silence, and the nobles downstairs couldn't help but look at each other, thinking to themselves, wasn't this old guy under house arrest, how could he suddenly appear in this place, could it be that he was forced to open his mouth, and the other party wanted to force them to leave? This method is too hateful, the downstairs fell silent for a while, as if a punch hit the air, everyone wanted to wait for a few leading nobles to speak, but the Count of Orcons and the other five people did not speak, and finally an anxious nobleman couldn't help but stand up: "Lord Baron, please let the Count of the fir of Eruin come out, we are here to find him." ”

"The head of the Eruin envoy is a distinguished guest, what are you looking for him?" The baron asked.

Not good, Count Orcons' heart sank, the feeling of conspiracy in his heart became more and more obvious, he looked back, and several people around him had similar looks on their faces, but at this time he was too late to stop his subordinates from speaking, but when he saw that the nobleman who spoke at the beginning replied loudly: "Lord Baron, you don't have to worry about the threat of the person behind you, we came to him today to naturally let him come out to clean up the situation, and now the situation is clear." The Eruins don't want to take over your port, do they? ”

"Shut up!" Baron Metz's face sank suddenly, and his voice was so cold that it seemed to be a layer of frost, which made the hearts of everyone downstairs feel terrified, of course, this is not to say that Baron Metz's status is the best among everyone, but he is condescending at the moment, and he is the master of this place. Occupying the geographical advantage, he naturally won in momentum: "I am the lord of the port of Fatan, everything here is naturally my decision, you are my guests, and the Eruin envoys are also my guests, I hope you will not have nothing to do here, so as not to ruin the image of the imperial nobles." ”

Everyone was dumbfounded by these words, and they couldn't find a reason to refute them for a while, of course, from a logical point of view. There is no flaw in these words, but everyone knows it, you Ludwig. Metz was a city lord at this time, at best a puppet, but this could not be put on the table, and for a while, the faces of all the nobles were extremely strange, as if they were constipated.

And sure enough,

Count Alcons' face sank, he had long expected that Brando could not be so eloquent. At the moment, this face-to-face slap was expected by him. Somehow, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and the other party released Baron Metz, indicating that there was still room for negotiation in the other party's heart, at least he didn't plan to make things too stiff. He then frowned again, but playing this kind of trick was a little trick after all. If Brando didn't want to see them, he could just drive them away, and he couldn't play such a small trick, although he could fool people for a while, but at this time of year. It's just going to be looked down upon, or is it that the young man has other purposes.

But for any purpose, Baron Metz's words had blocked the room for others to speak, and Count Alcons understood that he could not speak up, so he pondered for a moment before raising his head and said: "Mr. Baron, in any case, it is not a solution to be trapped here at the moment, and we cannot always be guests here, we must come up with a solution." At present, the situation in the empire is in chaos, His Majesty is at war with the rebels in the area of Zweig, and the army of Giorgandegang and the Lion has been inspired by our emperor to defect, and now the White Army has entered the port of Cotta, and it is only three days away from Fatan, and we are undecided, and we may be regarded as a party of rebels. ”

As soon as the Count of Orcons finished speaking, he suddenly realized that it was not good, and he suddenly remembered that Baron Metz was a vassal of Duke Rena, and now that the Duke was clearly on the side of the military aristocracy, wouldn't the former's position be self-evident? Sure enough, before he could change his words, Baron Metz interrupted him lightly: "I agree with most of your statements, Lord Count, but I have reservations about some of them, Constance colluded with the evil dragon to kill his father to ascend the throne, and tried to attack the princes in an attempt to subvert the empire, I doubt that such a vicious woman can still be called the emperor of the empire." ”

This sentence was like a bombshell falling into the water, which immediately stirred up a thousand waves, and the nobles were in an uproar, whether it was for the words of Baron Metz or for Baron Metz's audacious act.

The buzzing sound resounded in the hall again, but this time Count Orcons didn't have the heart to restrain his men, he felt sweat on his forehead, he didn't expect that this baron, who was old like an old dog, would be so fierce, as soon as he opened his mouth, he pushed people into a desperate situation, he almost wanted to reach out to wipe his sweat, and finally calmed down, and said with a sigh: "Lord Baron, please pay attention to your words......"

"Why, Lord Count doesn't believe me?" Baron Metz sneered.

"Of course, there may be some rumors that are unfavorable to Her Majesty the Queen now, but it is always a means for the enemy to deceive the world and steal his name, and it is not worth mentioning-"

Count Orcons' words suddenly stopped, and he reacted suddenly, suddenly realizing that the Lord of Fatan in front of him did not seem to be persecuted by Brando, and if the other party was just a puppet, then he didn't need to do this for a battle of words. He suddenly thought of a terrible possibility, and the cold sweat on his forehead could not be stopped for a while, and the stains were stained, and he suddenly looked up at Baron Metz, and realized that he might have fallen into a big trap.

"Count Orcons, it seems that you are planning to stand on the opposite side of the Empire."

"I ......" Rao is Count Orcons' status in the empire is faintly higher than that of Baron Metz, but at this moment he couldn't speak, and at this time, the others in the hall saw that something was faintly wrong with the situation, and they all chose to keep silent for a while. Even Count Jean, who was beside Count Orcons, was cautious not to say a word, and Rogers looked up. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the corners of the second floor of the hall were already covered with knights in heavy armor - the robes on these knights were clearly in the style of the Cruz Empire - and it was clearly not the army of the Eruins.

The knight of the inner court raised his eyebrows, and immediately lowered his head, and no longer expressed any opinions.

Count Alcons finally wiped his sweat and asked, "What do you mean, Mr. Baron?" ”

"That's what I meant." A man's voice rang out from behind Baron Metz. All the nobles present saw Baron Metz respectfully step back and let the man come forward, and in fact Count Orcons did not even have to see the man's appearance, and his face had changed dramatically at the mere hearing of his voice. He looked up in disbelief, and sure enough, he saw the handsome, indifferent face appear in his field of vision.

At this moment, Count Orcons' face could be described as extremely strange, but fortunately, no one could laugh at his ridiculous look, because there were dozens of faces in the hall. It was surprisingly unanimous that when they saw the young man emerge from behind Baron Metz, many of them let out the slightest gasp.

"The Emperor...... His Royal Highness, the eldest son of the Emperor? ”

"What, it's strange to see me?" Prince Lenarat looked cold: "Or because I received my obituary in advance, and now I am suspected of being a fake?" ”

"No...... Don't dare ......"

"Alright, now I have a piece of news for you, my queen mother has done harm to the One Order, and now they are setting out to collude with the Miner people to subvert the Empire. and persecuting my brothers and sisters, I now demand that all the nobles of the entire empire heed my call. Join the Qinwang Righteous Army and save the empire from the generals. Leonerat was not telling the news, but rather giving an order, and he didn't even need any recognition, as if he were simply stating his position: "Do you understand? ”

We ...... that the Count of Orcons is still pondering the word. But the eldest son of the emperor didn't seem to need their answer at all, and directly stretched out his hand: "Count Alcons, Count Jean, and my knight of the inner court, come up to meet me." Others, disperse! ”

……

"Will these people be obedient?" At the same time as the emperor's eldest son was in power, Roman, Brando, and Flo were actually standing in the hall on the second floor watching the farce not far away, and Miss Merchant asked with some curiosity.

Brando shook his head silently: "That's their own business," he paused for a moment, and added: "There are many forces within the empire, in fact, the Silver Queen only controls the nobles of Cloak Bay, which means that only the White Legion and a part of the Imperial Navy are really loyal to her, and even the Red Legion has to make a big discount, otherwise the Wind Elves have already ceased fighting for a few weeks, and they don't see any reaction in the Clover Plains?" As for the remaining mountain people and Senyas, they are all minorities in the empire, since they are called minorities, as the name suggests, there will not be too many people, and the army is even less, compared to several main legions of the empire, it is not worth mentioning at all. The last remaining witches and miners are not even a fraction, the empire is a behemoth, these forces may be strong in the hands of a lord, but they are nothing in the empire, at least they can't determine the balance of strength within the empire. ”

"I see," said the merchant lady, "the reason why Ludwig's nobles have been defeated and retreated one after another, is because they are scattered, fighting their own battles, and each has its own plans, as if business investment has no clear purpose, and it is easy to incur failure." ”

"Clever," Brando patted Roman on the forehead approvingly, causing the latter to glare angrily, and he smiled: "There will be no less opposition in the Empire, and there are many more diehards in the Temple of Fire than you think, but these forces are too scattered, and none of them alone will be the opponent of Her Majesty the Queen, and it is not surprising that everyone has the idea of protecting themselves, and in the case of absolute balance of power, except for a few extreme examples, no one will choose to die in vain." But if the balance of power is not as great as imagined, it will be different, and now that there is a common interest to rely on, it will be different. ”

"Common interests depend," Flo glanced at Brando a little strangely, "Lord Lord, do you mean the eldest son of the emperor?" ”

Brando smiled: "I said earlier, this person is a strange thing. ”

"When did you say that, Brando?" Miss Merchant raised an eyebrow curiously.

"Naturally, how could I have left him behind?" The braggadocio was exposed, and the young Earl couldn't help but be a little annoyed: "You must know that at that time, it was not an easy thing for me to hide the whereabouts of the next imperial heir, and I took a great political and diplomatic risk, if I didn't see today's gains, how could I convince our stubborn princess Her Royal Highness?" ”

Out of familiarity with Brando's usual character, Roman looked at him suspiciously, but Flo seemed to believe it, and the wild elf girl frowned slightly: "The forces in the Cruz Empire are intricate, which ones are loyal to the Silver Queen, and which ones are loyal to the eldest son of the Emperor, what is their relationship, Lord Lord, have you investigated these?" ”

"Naturally," Brando sighed, "the Cruz are too close to us, and the Empire is too powerful, we may not know ourselves, but we must understand the Empire." ”

Flomoran, she was born in the indisputable Elranta, although later like many other wild elves, she traveled to the White City with her sister, where she joined the mercenary group and became a mercenary wizard, the Ten Cities region is also a staggered faction of various forces, and the city-states often fall into each other's intrigues, but as a mercenary, they often don't need to think about so many things, and it is difficult to experience the feeling of being terrified and walking on thin ice all day long, until this moment, She seemed to know the young lord beside her again, and couldn't help but frown and look at the latter very complicatedly.

It's a pity that Brando didn't notice the look of his 'personal secretary' at all, he thought of Eruin, of the fir collar and the vast Black Forest.

One day, Eruin will no longer need to rely on the breath of others to survive, and at that time, Eruin will also have a vast land and strong strength. The Eruin will no longer have to guess the minds of others, they will also be a fierce lion, standing proudly on this land.

Perhaps only at that time can the wishes of the eldest princess and the Valkyrie be realized.

Brando suddenly remembered the princess and Valkyrie in the game, they were very different from today's Griffiin and Freya, the environment and suffering had changed them, but today's Eruin no longer needs such princesses and Valkyries.

For Eruin no longer needed people, and his people wept silently for it.

When he came back to his senses, the conversation in the hall was nearing its end. "What do you see, Flo?" Brando suddenly turned around and asked.

Flo was slightly stunned, as if she had woken up from something, she blushed rarely, and hurriedly shook her head: "What do you see?" ”

"Count Orcons didn't come of his own free will, he is the leader of the nobility, if he doesn't have the heart to stir up these people, what does it mean?" Brando sneered: "I was originally a little curious, I thought that these nobles were taught a profound enough lesson in Port Rune, they shouldn't have healed so quickly and forgot the scar and pain, now that I think about it, I shouldn't have missed anything, but there is another reason behind this." ”

Flo frowned slightly, if she couldn't hear what her lord had to say, then her so-called lord secretary was also in vain: "Lord Lord, you mean that someone is agitating behind these nobles?" Who is it? ”

"I didn't know," Brando replied coldly, "but unfortunately some people were too anxious to show their fox tails." ”

"Fox tail exposed," Roman giggled, "that's a very apt description." ”
