Baron Ziluo glanced at the mine that was already in a state of shutdown in the distance, sighed a little reluctantly, and the butler beside him walked behind him and reminded softly: "My lord, the convoy has been sorted out, and it is time for us to leave." ”

Retracting his reluctant eyes, as early as three days ago, Baron Ziluo began to collect funds, preparing for the whole family to leave the empty ferry to take refuge, the destination he chose was Lindong City, although Ron's notoriety he had heard of, but he was ready to give some blood, take out part of his assets as a meeting gift to Ron, once Ron accepted his money, he would not do anything more excessive.

After all, Baron Ziluo has also inherited several generations of aristocratic blood, and is familiar with many families, although he is not a vassal of the Capet family, but his ancestors have also funded the Capet family, with this, Ziluo feels that after he arrives in Lindong City, there will be no accidents.

"Doesn't that stupid hat lord have any intention of evacuating the Empty Ferry Territory and going out to take refuge?" Baron Ziluo asked, he always felt that Lanter's bold statement to defend the Sky Ferry Territory was an empty word, and from the bottom of his heart, he actually didn't want Rand to succeed in saving the Air Ferry Territory from the onslaught of the beasts.

Anyway, if the farmer cultivates his own field, I don't care if he is wasted or not, I just need to collect rent regularly, what does it matter to me whether the farmers can live on this harvest?

There is no need to worry about the ore, the beasts cannot take the minerals, and the barbarians will not stay here for a long time, and when the frenzy passes, he will lead the guards back and restart the mine, but it will only be delayed for a winter, and the miners will be able to make up for the losses by urging them to catch up with the progress in the coming year.

There is another reason why Ziluo has this idea, if Rand succeeds in defending the Kongdu Territory, then his prestige and prestige will reach an unprecedented height, and in the Kongdu Domain, Lante will have the absolute right to speak, and the commoners will do their best to support him, and the privileges of the original nobles will be weakened, which is a very serious problem.

The division of power in the Kongdu Domain has been like this since the previous lords, and there is a relative balance between the nobles and the lords, and if Baron Ziluo does not want this balance to be broken, he must do something.

"My lord, I heard from the captain of the guard that the lord has recruited a new army of poor people and is urgently training them, and I think he has no intention of withdrawing from the empty crossing. The old butler bowed down and stood beside Ziluo and said respectfully.

"If he is allowed to develop like this, maybe the nobles will really be squeezed out by him!Hmph!" Baron Ziluo snorted coldly.

Unbeknownst to Rand, his insistence on the empty realm had caused a huge psychological pressure on the nobles, who gathered together to discuss how to deal with them before they prepared to evacuate.

"He can't hold it, I bet that with an army of more than 300 people, it can't resist the beast tide at all!"

"Ridiculous, did he think his soldiers were all paladins who could be a hundred?"

"He doesn't even have cavalry, how long can he hold out on to the forced defense? a month, two months?"

"We'll let him mess around, and when his army suffers heavy casualties, he'll understand how stupid his actions are!"

Baron Batu, who was the center of the nobles, had not spoken, but at this time he suddenly spoke: "Everyone, have you ever thought about what will happen if he really guards the empty territory?"

The nobles were stunned, they hadn't thought about this possibility, but the possibility of this happening was extremely slim, Baron Ziluo frowned and said: "I'm also worried about this problem, after we leave the empty realm, the property and the land will be ownerless." If Rand holds on to the empty territory, then with the support of the inhabitants, there is a good chance that he will push us out, and it is very unlikely that we will be able to reclaim the fields the following year. ”

"That's right, the balance of power in the Kongdu Territory cannot be broken, and we need to do something to change Rand's mind. Baron Batu smiled, "It's best to let him go with us, and have no scruples about anything else." ”

"So, what to do?"

"If Rand is trying to defend himself against foreign enemies, but his backyard is on fire, how will he react?" Baron Batu smiled meaningfully, and his tone slowly became stern and cold: "Everyone, tell him with our actions who is the boss of the Kongdu Territory!"

......

Hyena is not the name of a dog, but the nickname of a person, he is the leader of Baron Ziluo's personal armed forces, and he originally had the opportunity to become a knight, but due to bad conduct, he was disqualified from being canonized by the Holy See, and was later recruited by Baron Ziluo to become the most ferocious thug under him.

The hyena is tall and ugly, and it is said that it is because of the fire, which causes half of his face to show a terrifying scar, and even that eye is completely blind by the fire, but no one dares to despise him, he is known for his ferocity and cruelty, and when he stares coldly at you with the only remaining eye, everyone will feel a wave of fear.

When he stepped into the living room, Baron Ziluo was waiting for him, and there was no third person in the empty room besides them.

"My lord, are you looking for me?" The hyena still respects his boss very much, after all, it was Baron Ziluo who gave him a bite to eat.

"Well, I'm going to bother you. Baron Ziluo nodded, he was very relieved about the hyena's ability to do things, "In the afternoon, the convoy will go to Lindong City, we will set off first, you stay and help me do something, and then set off to follow us." ”

The hyena raised his eyebrows, Baron Ziluo deliberately chose this time to explain the task, that must be an extremely important matter, otherwise it would not be kept secret so that even the old housekeeper who had served Ziluo all his life was put aside.

"Please command!" Even though he realized the difficulty of this matter, the hyena still agreed, in fact, he had no room to refuse, he knew very well his position, that is, to solve problems and do dirty things for the master, once Ziluo found that he was not as obedient as before, the hyena would soon lose his job.

"I'm worried that our lord's behavior of defending the Kongdu Domain to the death will bring a lot of unnecessary troubles to our family, and once he succeeds, we will inevitably be suppressed and weakened, the Kongdu Domain has been divided into forces for a long time, and I don't want it to change, so I want to strangle all these troubles in the cradle!" Baron Ziluo lowered his voice, "The Kongdu Domain is not his alone!"

The hyena's head buzzed, even if it was as fierce as him, he was taken aback by Baron Ziluo's thoughts, he forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart, and asked stumblingly, "Big ...... Your Excellency, Your ...... Do you mean you want me to kill the lord?"

"Bastard, we have to bury a member of the Capetian family if we assassinate him!" Baron Ziluo scolded angrily, "We mean to create a little trouble for him, so that he will give up the idea of defending the Kongdu Territory, and obediently go to Lindong City with us for refuge." ”

In this case, his prestige in the eyes of the people will plummet, and he will no longer be a threat to us. ”

"Do you want me to burn down their granary?" the hyena breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he didn't assassinate Rand, everything else was fine.

"No, it's too close to Lindong City, they can buy wheat from Lindong City. Baron Ziluo shook his head, he had also considered burning down the granary, but he vetoed it again, there was a large amount of grain hoarding in Lindong City, once the granary was burned down, Rand would definitely buy grain from Ron, it would only take four or five days to arrive, and Ron definitely didn't mind making a fortune from his brother.

"His ordnance! destroy his armory!I've heard that he's recently made a new weapon, and if we destroy it, Rand won't be able to withstand the menacing beast tide!" Zi Luo sneered, Ron would never sell weapons to Rand.

"But the armory is very tightly guarded, and I'm afraid it's hard for me to sneak in. The hyena frowned.

Once the arsenal is burned down, the Commander will lose all external power, and although Rand will be forced to enter the Territory, the civilians and soldiers who cannot leave will face the ferocious beasts and monsters unarmed, and the Commander will encounter an unprecedented catastrophe.

And all this seems to be not taken to his heart by him at all.
