Chapter 816: The Choice of the Cormier Royal Family (Part I)

In the middle of the discussion, several boats suddenly appeared on the river, quite conspicuous. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The ships were obviously heading up the river from the downstream estuary, and when the ships approached, the flag planted on the ship became clear, and Charles squinted slightly, "Susar's ship?" ”

One of the ships also bears the royal flag, embroidered with a purple dragon entrenched on the king's sword.

There were either members of the royal family or envoys to the royal family on this ship, and the charr had not received a greeting from the royal family in advance, so the arrival of this fleet was intriguing.

"Wait."

Charles stopped Gaden Blackshield and shook his head, "You take the Artisan elsewhere first." ”

The engineer who wanted to meet Susar's fleet was stunned for a moment, and without asking any more questions, he turned around and went to gather the craftsmen on the dock.

The flotilla soon came to shore.

No one greeted him in the dock mooring area, and the fleet immediately felt the malice of the Rock Collar, and on the decks of several large ships of the Cormier Navy, a group of men and women dressed as nobles, both old and young, appeared.

"Hurry up and call the Baron of the Rock, we are the envoys of the imperial capital Susar!" A middle-aged man with a big belly shouted at the crowd.

There were only Charles and his party at the docks. The nobles apparently didn't know the Charr and thought of them as minions.

"The legacy?" Charles stepped forward, "Do you have any royal tokens?" ”

"We have royal tokens, but not for you!" The middle-aged nobleman did not hide his face, and said with a thick disdain, "Call you Baron Rock here, I am Earl Andrew of the Imperial Capital!" ”

Earl?

Susar has no more and no less, and the marquis above is different, only a few great families, and the dukes above can only be found by looking at the whole territory of Cormier.

Just an earl, Charles doesn't care. He was pondering the purpose of the legacy.

After all, he hadn't returned to the imperial capital for a while, and it wasn't clear what the situation was in Susar for the time being.

In fact, shortly after he returned to the Rock Territory from the Exorcist Hall, Arabe's army began a decisive battle with the Storm Orcs, and it was Arabe's Territory who emerged victorious, with minimal casualties.

The ancient magic cannon blueprints that Charles brought back to the female lord Milman last time made a meritorious service, and Milman copied ten magic cannons and installed them on flying airboats, bombing the orc army from high altitudes, directly causing the rout of the orcs.

Otherwise, the excavation of canals and the construction of inland waterways would not have gone so smoothly. Through cooperation, the official Arabe sent batch after batch of orc captives to the Rock Territory. These captives are the hard labor of the project.

The orc crisis in the north of the kingdom has been temporarily alleviated, and the situation in the imperial capital Susar is likely to have undergone unpredictable changes in the Charr this month.

The external problem is relieved, and the internal problem is eroded.

The orc war only temporarily suppressed the sharp contradictions in the imperial capital, and now that the nails that threatened the nobles were pulled out, the group began to jump again.

Charles was born in Susar, far better than players in other regions, this is a group of moths lying on the throne, the first king Azeen IV killed a group, but before the complete reform of the kingdom's maladministration, the 'Demon Dragon Rebellion' broke out, Azeen IV died with the Demon Dragon, leaving behind a young son.

If it weren't for the many things that Azeon IV did during his reign, the 'Dragon Rebellion' would have been over, and the Oberskel family might have been ousted from the throne and purged.

The uprooting of the Susarbane church only eased the situation, and the nobles who had secretly worked for neighboring Sambia were still alive and well.

Therefore, it is no wonder that Charles has a bad attitude towards the nobles, but if he has been in Susar for a period of time and has seen the ugly faces of this group of nobles, his impression is definitely not good.

"I'm sorry, but I'm Baron Rock, the owner of this realm." Charles looked at the docked fleet, his tone even a little cold.

He didn't expect that the wharf had just been completed, and the first batch of people to call at the port was not a business traveler, but a group of uninvited nobles from the imperial capital.

Nominally, the Rock Territory still belongs to the Purple Dragon Kingdom Cormier, but in fact it is an independent territory, and it is impossible for outsiders to interfere in internal affairs and finances. Charles couldn't help but think to himself, if this group of people had any special purpose, then don't blame him for giving a closed door.

The dock fell silent.

"Where are the royal envoys?" Charles looked at the pot-bellied Earl Andrew on deck.

"Baron of the Rock."

With a soft sigh, a female professional in gorgeous light armor stepped out of the void and appeared beside Charles.

"Chief Guard, Filina?" Charles was secretly surprised by the identity of the visitor, the chief of the guard was a member of the Cormier royal family, and a confidant and friend of the regent Princess Yarusel.

She actually came with the fleet. But why didn't the royal family inform in advance? Charles' brow furrowed.

Firina met his burning gaze, dodging a little.

"Baron of the Rock!"

The ship docked, the wooden ladder came out of the high deck and came to rest, and the pot-bellied Earl Andrew stepped down with his hands in his hands, followed by a pair of priests and priests who Charles did not know.

"Ogmar's followers?" Charles stared.

The male and female clergy were priests, the men were natives, and the women were players, and they were not of low rank, holding gold emblems that glittered in the sun.

The gold emblem means that the priestess has the same status as the priest within the church.

Odurin's New Party!

Charles's heart sank, and he suddenly thought of neighboring Sambia.

Aldurin is the capital of Sambia, and what he cares about most is that Aldurin is also the headquarters of the 'New Party' faction in the Ogma Church!

The Cormier Church, currently under Patriarch Omar, remains neutral and does not belong to either Aldurin's 'New Party' or Prokamp's 'Orthodox'.

"What does that mean......" Charles could vaguely sense the hostility of the priests and priests towards him.

Count Andrew still carried his hands on his back, facing the magnificent Thun River, and said leisurely: "Baron of the Rocks, you have done a good job, it only took two months to preliminarily dredge the Thun River, so that the kingdom has an additional inland river route. ”

"From now on, the caravans from the Northland and the Westland will not have to bypass or climb over the Stormhorn Mountains, but can sail from the Thun River into Longhu...... Haha, that's good! ”

Charles's face was cold.

He vaguely understood why this group of people had come.

"After a Council of Ministers, the Kingdom has decided to take back the jurisdiction of the Thun!" Earl Andrew took a document with many seals from the guard's hand, and handed it to Charles with a smile, "In the future, the Thun River will be garrisoned by the kingdom, and in the future, two percent of the revenue generated by this route will go to the rock territory, and the remaining eighty percent will be all returned to the treasury." ”

“…… This is also the choice of the Cormier royal family? Ignoring the nobleman and the paperwork in his hand, Charles tilted his head and stared earnestly at the chief of the guard, Philina. (To be continued.) )
