After shaking like a pendulum for a while, Zigra IX let out a sigh of relief.

"Siri can take four hundred people out of the city, why can't he come to you? Since you are not willing to serve the king, you are not worthy to be the lord of Betnes. Someone - crush this rebellion to me, and I'll put him to death!" ”

"Your Majesty, you are discouraged."

At this moment, a gray-haired nobleman next to him stepped forward to stop the enraged Zigra IX. At this time, it was too late for everyone to protect their lives, and the only one who could come out to dissuade the king was the loyal marshal Marquis de Pombert.

"Your Majesty, the crime of cowardice and disobedience of the city lord of Betnis is unforgivable, but should we also confirm the number of orc armies outside the city?"

With a gentle word, that Zigra IX calmed down. And that Pompeit also called Seeri and that Thomas in front of him.

"Ciri? Williosa Knight, Thomas? Baron Wesley, please tell all the adults of our kingdom the results of the investigation you have seen at the risk of death. ”

Ciri and Thomas glanced at each other, and then Ciri spoke. "The orc camp is stationed on a hill thirty kilometers southwest of the city of Betnes. I've done my homework and know that it was one of the candidate sites for the city of Bettenis. Now, the hillside was completely covered by a large camp of orcs. The camp is divided into five floors, each of which is separated by a large log with more than three people hugging each other. The outermost part of the area is where argali, cattle and other cattle are reused for military rations, and from a distance, there are several million argali. ”

"That's right," Thomas added. "When we scouts went to scout, there happened to be more than one division of orcs divided into teams, serving as escorts for orc servants to graze......"

The two of them said as Pompei bowed slightly in satisfaction. He was not Zigra IX, and he knew that what they said was true. Finally, he asked, "So, the orcs have built a temporary city near our city of Betnes?" Ciri, Thomas, do you dare to vouch for your reputation and not lie? ”

"We promise. Adults can appoint griffin cavalry to see at a glance. If something goes wrong, we're willing to be punished. ”

"Understood." Pombet said as he turned his gaze to a yellow-haired nobleman next to him. "Lord Grant, how about you take a trip? If the orcs really do what Siri actually said, then we really encounter the big . Trouble! ”

The nobleman named Grant said yes and left directly. As for Ciri, he kept sneering in his heart.

That's right, when it comes to scouting alone, the griffon cavalry is indeed the best scout class that humans can come up with. But are the orcs stupid, they don't know this? I'm afraid that as soon as those griffins appear, the orcs will immediately cover up!

While everyone was waiting for the results of the griffin cavalry's reconnaissance, the Zigra IX, who had returned to normal, coughed again. "Alright, until we wait for the results of the griffin cavalry's scouting, let's continue the meeting. Let's talk about the question of Brand Territory. As the saying goes, if you go outside, you must first settle inside, and I decided to lead an army of 300,000 to the capital's territories for fear of Lord Pombert. As for the promotion to the nobility offered by Jador...... What do you think, let's vote now. After all, Jador is my loyal servant, and so am you, and I can't favor one over the other. ”

"Against! Lao Tzu's subordinates are all dead, why should he replenish the strength of an old country guy first? ”

"I'm against it too! Everyone has lost a lot these days, and it is really unfair for Jador to be promoted to nobility by his subordinates alone. ”

"That's it, unless he recovers the brand territory himself, he can't imagine a promoted nobleman for his hillbillies!"

All the nobles were talking against it, and that Zigra IX had no smile on his face. "What are you doing here? Jador is not young anymore, are you bullying a loyal old nobleman like this? …… Knight Ciri, what are you thinking about there? Don't forget it's a meeting! ”

Ciri smiled. He's waiting for the big fat man to ask him! At this point, how could he not know that his plan with Jardor had been discovered by Zigra IX? However, he was really not afraid of these people's bad things, because among the people present, no one knew the current situation of Brand Territory better than him. Originally, things were going well, but I didn't expect it to be all on one of my eyes. To say that Siri was annoyed in his heart is absolutely false. However, from the two objections of the nobles, he saw another possibility for his friends to be promoted to the nobility.

"Your Majesty, since you are going to send someone to recover the Bland territory, can I go? If there are not enough troops in the city, I can only bring one or more troops! ”

"Take a team? You want to reclaim a war-torn principality? For a moment, Zigra IX wondered if he had heard it wrong! This Xirui, who just used a trick to capture himself and play himself, his conscience is greatly broken! Now that there is such a request for deliberate death, what is this kid thinking in his head?

"That's it, Your Majesty." Ciri confessed and said with a somewhat wry smile. "When I went to visit my Lord Jardor the other day, I accidentally heard that he had assigned a reconnaissance team to the Brand Territory more than ten days ago. Now, the entire Brand territory is desolate, and there are not even half a person. According to the soldiers who returned, they searched the entire capital of the principality, but they could not find a decent iron tool or a single chair......"

Before he could finish speaking, the surrounding nobles who could not afford to make a profit were scattered like flies in the dung pit where the stones were lost. "Boy, why are you a little knight involved in such a big event? Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about Lord Marquis Pompeit, I will bring a legion, no, I will personally bring five hundred men, and I can recover the territory of Brand for you! ”

"Hey! The nobles of our northern territory haven't spoken yet, what are you interjecting as a western nobleman? Your Majesty, we, the four four earls of the north, are willing to solve your problems, and in a month, no, half a month, you will be able to see the restored prosperity of the Brand Territory......"

In the midst of the quarrel, Zigra IX's face turned purple and black!

The world is all for profit, these bastards, it sounds like there is a big advantage to take advantage of, but this is my face to divide the territory of Brand? As for whether what Siri said was true or not, Zigra IX, like the other nobles, had no doubts. Even if he didn't know how many refugees and belongings the other noble lords bordering the Brand Territory had received, Zigra IX could know from the reactions of these nobles that the Brand Territory might be an exaggeration to say that the Barren Territory was like Ciri said, but there was absolutely no resistance!
