the situation in China; Moreover, when he invited his companions, he chose nobles who were at odds with the Greymans, believing that his plan would succeed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Darius Crowley had wanted to overthrow Jean Greymane for a long time - his family's original domain was beyond the Greymane Wall, and a large forest of silver pines was the domain of his ancestors.

Because of their proximity, the Crowley family did not have a bad relationship with the kingdom of Lordaeron, and their trade with each other made them a relatively wealthy and powerful family in the kingdom of Gilneis.

However, when Jean Greymane decided to attack the kingdom of Lordaeron, he ignored Darius Crowley's objections; Insist on sending troops to the Hillsbrad Hills.

As a result of that war, the kingdom of Gilneys withdrew from the Silverpine Forest, and Darius Crolley did not dare to risk testing the strength of his friendship with the kingdom of Lordaeron, so he retreated into the Wall of Greymane with his family, possessions, and the people of his domain, and it had been twenty years now.

From that time on, Darius Crowley was very unhappy with Jean Greymane, not to mention that he had moved into the Greyman's Wall, and although he had gained a new territory, he was always exploited by the Greymans in terms of taxes - after all, everyone knew that the Crorés had made enough gold coins to trade in timber.

When the news of Jean Greymane's defeat came, Darius Crolley knew his chance had come - he had heard that King Terenus of Lordaeron was enlightened and benevolent, and this time, he did not want to waste another opportunity, nor did he want to take the wrong side.

"Do you know what you're talking about, Darius? You don't really think that a few of us are capable of standing up to Jean and his army, do you? ”

A somewhat obese aristocrat looked at Darius Crolley in front of him in surprise and asked, surprised.

"You're wrong, we don't need to fight Jean and his army, we just need ...... Submission to the new lord will do the trick. ”

A shrewd-looking nobleman spoke.

"You're right, Jean and his army will be left to the army of the Lordaeron Kingdom, and all we have to do is to submit to them."

Darius Crolley spoke.

"But can you guarantee that our property will not be lost and that our people will not be threatened?"

A nobleman asked heartily - he had heard a lot about the rumors of the invaders, and had heard that there were also aliens—dwarves—in their army.

"I can't. But can you guarantee that if we were on Jean's side, we would be able to win? If not, who can guarantee the safety of our property and our people? It's a gamble, folks, and I just want to bet on the side that can win the war. ”

Darius Crolley said.

"I believe you, Darius, count me in. The invaders also needed local nobles to help them stabilize their people. ”

The shrewd aristocrat was the first to express his support for Darius Crowley.

"Count me in...... Damn it, no matter what the outcome is, Darius, we're with you. I've long looked at those southerners who don't like it. ”

The fat nobleman thought about it, but gritted his teeth and said--these nobles are all nobles from the north of the Kingdom of Gilneys, and the once thriving timber trade has made them all rich, but after the Wall of Greymanne was erected, there were also many conflicts between them and the nobles in the southern royal city.

Led by the two nobles, the lords of the room expressed their support for Darius Crowley, signed a pre-prepared petition, and hurried out of the place, despite the seclusion, no one wanted news of the rally to leak out.

Soon, the nobles were gone, and only Darius Crowley stood alone at the table, quietly looking at the petition lying on the table.

Suddenly, there was a soft "squeak", and Darius Crowley looked up to see a young woman with short shoulder-length black hair and a fiery red rose headdress pinned to her sideburns.

"What are you going to do, Rhona."

Darius Crowley put away the petition on his desk, put it in his pocket, and asked with a smile.

"Father! I...... I'm here to see how your meeting went. “

Rhona Crowley, the only daughter of Darius Crowley, saw that her father had discovered her original tiptoeing movements, so she straightened up and walked generously in front of Darius Crowley, smiling to hide her embarrassment.

"Okay...... Everyone has a wait-and-see mentality, although they have all signed, but you know it...... This kind of petition, until it is handed over there, is no different from a piece of waste paper. ”

Darius Crowley said with a wry smile, and walked up to his daughter.

"So...... Father, are you going to deliver this petition yourself? ”

Rhona Crolley grabbed Darius Crolley's arm and walked with him out of the room, then asked curiously.

"Of course, I am the initiator of this operation, who will I not go to? And...... I would also like to judge, His Majesty King Terenus...... Is it the same benevolence as the legend? ”

Darius Crowley said to his daughter.

"Even if not? What else can we do? Jean, the coward, ran back and left us in the north...... If we don't surrender, do we have to resist the invaders who have defeated Jean's army? ”

Rhona Crolley pursed her lips and said to her father.

"If not...... I will not surrender with you, Rhona - I know there are not many paths we can choose from, but if the invaders are harsher than Jean Greymane, how can I bring the people who trust me into the fire for the sake of the peace of my family? ”

Darius Crowley faced his daughter, inevitably revealed some true feelings, and said excitedly.

"I knew father, you were such a person! So...... Let's hurry up! ”

Rhona Crolley said with a delightful smile on her face.

"Go? Where to? ”

Darius Crowley stopped and asked, a little stunned.

"To the Wall of Greymane, of course! Didn't you say that those intruders stayed there? ”

Rhona Crowley asked with a smile.

"You're going? Rhona, what's going to do! You're a girl......"

Darius Crowley shook his head again and again, and rejected his daughter's proposal - how could he let his daughter go with him if he was just venturing to the invaders alone? ――In the invaders' barracks, I didn't have the ability to protect my daughter at all!

"Of course I'm going along! Since Mom She's ...... We're father and daughter! To do such a thing, of course, together...... And father, don't treat me like a little girl, didn't you also say before that my swordsmanship is already very good? ”

Compared to Darius Crowley, his daughter Rhona Crolley is not afraid at all, on the contrary, she seems to be looking forward to the trip.

"But ......"

Darius Crolley still didn't want his daughter to risk with him, but he knew that this daughter had always been spoiled, and there was nothing he could do with her - he couldn't tie her up, could he?

"Nothing more, father, let's hurry up! No matter what happens...... I'll take care of you! ”

Rhona Crowley interrupted her father, let go of her grip on him, and ran as fast as she could out of the manor, where Darius Crowley's privatemen had already prepared their wagons.

Relying on the Wall of Greymane, the coalition forces have built a new line of defense - of course, it is more of an ordinary military camp than a defensive line, after all, it is difficult for the current kingdom of Gilneth to concentrate enough forces to threaten the security of the coalition forces.

Jean Greymane is still thinking about how to keep his pitiful land while the coalition forces are in power
