Three days later, Falcon City. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Since they and Doberman and the others decided to rush back to Falcon City immediately, several of them returned overnight on horseback, while the soldiers hurried behind as fast as they could, waiting to join up with the other returning troops.
At this time, there were eight people at the gate of Falcon City, Adam, Arras, Janet, Doberman, Morris, and the three commanders.
Most of the people who knew Arras went to inquire about the news first, and he returned in a short time.
"Sure enough, it's the deputy city lord, and now all the important departments in the city have been mastered by the deputy city lord, but both of them were injured in the battle with the city lord, and now they are still in a stalemate."
Arras brought not so good news: "I'm afraid it's hard for a few of you to enter Falcon City right now. ”
Doberman and the three commanders had no accidents, now the entire Falcon City was basically under the control of the deputy city lord, and it was difficult for them, as members of the Third Legion, to enter the city directly without being discovered, so they could only wait until it was dark to figure out a way.
And Adam, Arras, and Janet didn't have that much trouble and went straight through the gate.
Morris returned directly to the Mage Federation to inquire about the news, and he had to report the fact that the deputy city lord had a connection with the Church of the Dawn.
"Sir, where are we going now?" Arras asked.
"Wait for someone first."
"Huh?" Arras didn't know that there were other people in Falcon City that Adam knew.
After a while, a middle-aged knight appeared in front of him, wearing armor, holding a big sword in his hand, with short brown hair and blue pupils, looking very mature and handsome.
The knight bowed slightly to Adam, who was the first hero, Paladin Andrew, whom Adam had secretly summoned from the templar space.
There really are still people!
Arras suddenly felt a sense of urgency, and he felt a great power in this knight, which was not at all comparable to him.
And looking at his profession, this is a very powerful knight who has at least reached the bronze rank.
Although he had been speculating about Adam's origin for a long time, and he also knew Adam's extraordinary, he never thought that there would be a knight of the bronze rank who would directly obey his orders.
Throughout Celtic, a Bronze-rank professional can gain enough respect to be considered a high-tier power in any city.
What is the origin of the Weaving family?
Compared to Arras's sense of urgency, Janet didn't have such a complicated mind, and her only thought was that there really were handsome and powerful knights in the world.
The moment she saw Andrew, she was like seeing the male protagonist in a knight's novel come out of the book, especially the deep eyes of the other party made her girl's heart beat violently, so that she had to look at Arras a few more times to calm down.
"This is Andrew, my guardian knight." Adam simply introduced to both sides, "Arras, Janet. ”
"Now let's go to Martin." As a big businessman, he should know more.
Adam had always felt that there was a deeper side to Martin as a person, but now he was not worried at all.
Since recruiting Andrew, Adam feels that he feels more confident in both thinking and doing.
At first, out of prudence and security considerations, he only wanted to get a liege, find a fiefdom and establish a base to cover up his increasing variety and number of troops, and had no other ideas.
But the failure of this operation basically made him have no possibility of obtaining the position of lord, and he held back the fire in his belly.
Coupled with the increase in personal strength little by little, especially the advent of Andrew, a high-level bronze knight, gave him enough strength to support.
Sometimes Adam wondered, why should he rely on merit to get a lordship?
What if you play a major role in this Falcon City civil strife?
Coupled with the fact that this is his first estate in this world, Adam will not hesitate to return to Falcon City.
Martin's estate.
Martin didn't expect Adam to return at this time, but he still entertained Adam warmly.
What surprised him was that the middle-aged man who followed Adam knew at a glance that he was a knight, and his strength was very good, at least the bronze rank.
What's even more rare is that even Martin, a well-informed person, thinks that he is a very good person when he sees him, and Martin doesn't know why, but he just thinks so.
"My lord's plans are all in vain because of the civil strife in Falcon City." Adam directly explained his purpose and wanted information from Martin.
"I know." Martin said, his mind racing that in his two preparations, the vice-lord had not made a second move so far, and Adam's lordship was literally ruined by some accident.
"What are your plans?"
"I want more intelligence and information."
Adam made no secret of his ambitions, and he also knew that Martin, a businessman, loved to trade and needed enough chips.
"I want to get my own power in Falcon City!"
That's great! Martin cheered inwardly, what he feared most was that Adam was not interested in the affairs of Falcon City at all, as long as Adam was still interested, they could cooperate, perhaps more appropriately in terms of investment.
He could see that Adam had enough strength, but he was very unfamiliar with Falcon City, and he happened to be the one who could help.
"We can work together. What are your goals? ”
"Maybe it's still a lord's seat." A base is a must.
"Lord?" Martin was a little puzzled, he didn't know why Adam was so attached to the lordship.
Seriously, the fiefdom of the lords of Falcon City is not large, and the more important thing is that there is not much benefit in the power center of Falcon City. So he planned to persuade him, after all, the more Adam gained, the greater his return.
"Maybe we can set our goals a little bit higher."
"No, Martin, I don't have much interest in power, I need a place that is completely under my control, so it doesn't do me much good to be involved in Falcon City."
A lord's position is the most suitable.
One thing in the distribution of power is universal, if you have a territory, you can't divide too much in the highest center of power, and too much in the center of power means that you can't get a personal fief, so as not to create a situation of dictatorship.
This is true whether it is in the Seven Cities Federation, the Council of Nobles, or even the entire Yuppler.
"I don't understand ......"
Martin suddenly saw the adventurer who might be called Alaska whispering something in Adam's ear, and Adam's eyes suddenly lit up.
Adam felt that after recruiting Andrew, he had developed more desires in his heart.
It wasn't until just now that Arras whispered something in his ear that ignited something called ambition in Adam's heart.
What Arras said was: Sir, everyone has the right to challenge the city lord, as long as the position of the city lord is strong enough, you can also challenge back!
Arras just stated a fact, a fact that Adam didn't notice, but it made Adam suddenly clear.
Adam used to think about how to get the lord of Falcon City in a lot of Falcon City rules, but now he jumped out of those rules and planned the whole of Falcon City.
If someone else can, why can't I. As long as the strength is enough, the whole city is its own. If the entire Falcon City was under control, a small territory would be insignificant.
In that case, you have to plan carefully.
At this time, Pepin came back from outside. He was stunned for a moment when he saw Adam and his party, then nodded and said hello, walked quickly to Martin's side and whispered in his ear.
"The Mage Federation has learned of the Vice City Lord's cooperation with the Dawn Church, and if nothing else, the President will not agree to the Vice City Lord's proposal."
Martin knew it was time for him to make a choice between the vice-lord and Adam.
