This is obviously to use the catalyst of the external environment to integrate the southwest border.

The barons didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Outright refusal?

Baron Willy took the initiative to put it forward, obviously prepared, and if he chose to refuse, he was afraid that he would be suppressed in the future.

But if you should come down directly......

It's also hard to accept.

If it is an era of peace, it is equivalent to having a lord, and it is enough to pay taxes to the lord.

But now is the era of war, and there is an additional leader, not only to cede interests, but also to cede their own precious resources to survive in a turbulent environment.

Baron Lunit is an example of this.

Although Sand Die and White Bear are nominally part of the Alliance, the several barons present are well aware that Sand Die Town is just a vassal of White Bear Town, a stable channel for resource supply. All Sand Butterfly can get from White Bear is nominal protection and the support of White Bear's own forces.

If it is according to Baron Willy's intentions, several parties have signed a joint declaration, it will definitely be the same situation as Shadie Town.

For Sand Die, the weakest territory on the southwestern border, this was nothing, as Baron Lunit had no better way to defend himself. But unlike the other Barons, the predicament they faced was far less than that of Baron Lunit.

For a while, the other barons had uncertain faces and mixed feelings.

Willy didn't say much at this time, and from the expressions on the faces of several barons, he could already see the struggle in everyone's hearts.

Willy's body leaned back slightly, leaning gently back in his seat, not saying a word.

For a while, the entire living room also fell silent.

Of course, not all baronial lords are so conflicted, such as Baron Kells and Baron Lunnet.

The joint statement on the south-western frontier was in fact not the first to be proposed by Willy, but Baron Kells.

Baron Kells knew very well that if he wanted to make a career in the era of independent lords, he had to have strong support. He is well aware of the current situation of Diamond Town, although he has the resource support given by Willy before, but if he wants to seek more benefits, he must cling to White Bear Town.

Only White Bear Town can take Diamond Town to grab more benefits.

Born in Diamond Town, Willy maintains a close and friendly relationship with Baron Kells, and at the same time, Willy's teacher is also a core figure in Diamond Town. This relationship is here, and Baron Kells is not afraid that Willy will eat away at Diamond Town through various means.

So when he heard that Viscount Babila had made a move on Baron Bivid's Fresh Grass Town, Baron Kells instantly realized that this was an opportunity.

He hurriedly informed Willy of the idea of uniting several parties on the Southwestern Frontier, and after discussion, Willy accepted Baron Kells' suggestion.

In fact, it is not that Willy listened to the advice of Baron Kells, because this idea was already in Willy's mind before the beginning of the era of independent lords, otherwise he would not have secretly brokered several parties to contact each other. Only this time, the alliance should be put on the bright side, and this opportunity should be used to achieve real control in form.

This was the inevitable path for Willy to set White Bear Town on the road to conquest.

If you want to go further, you must first firmly control the southwestern border in the rear.

It's just that the incident of Viscount Barbilla's attack on Fresh Grass Town has facilitated the early implementation of this idea.

Just as relaxed as Baron Kells was Baron Lunnet.

At this time, Baron Lunit was in a very good mood.

Now it seems that I made the right decision at that time.

If the other barons accepted Willy's proposal at the same time, then he, as the first baronial lord to defect to White Bear Town, would definitely receive the greatest support in the future.

If a few of them disagree......

The corners of Baron Lunet's mouth curled, and his smile was a little cold, he didn't think that Baron Willy, who had great ambitions, would allow the southwest border to be out of his control.

Baron Lunette picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip gently.

Five minutes later.

"I accept Baron Willy's offer. ”

Breaking the silence was naturally Baron Kells.

He felt that five minutes of thinking time was enough: "The instability of the external environment is becoming more and more intense, and there are already viscount-level lords interfering in the southwest border...... In the face of such a terrifying external force, it will certainly be difficult for us alone to resist the enemy. At this time, there is a need for a real union between the various territories on our southwestern border, and only then can we have any hope of surviving in the era of independent lords. ”

"In order to ensure the efficiency of the alliance and the orderly operation of the post-joint consultation order, we really need a leader. Baron Kells' face remained unchanged, and even there was a judgmental fairness in his tone, "And White Bear Town is the most suitable role to be the leader of this one, although White Bear Town was established relatively late, but it has the deepest heritage, whether it is commercial development, material resources, military defense, or extraordinary strength, it is far superior to us." What's wrong with being our leader in such a White Bear Town?"

"So, I decided, to accept the opinion of Baron Willy, that I am in favour of the union of the baronies of the south-western frontier. ”

Baron Kells was the first to express his thoughts.

With that, Baron Kells and Willy glanced at each other.

The corners of the eyes of the two moved at the same time, and they both saw the deep meaning in each other's eyes.

"I also agree with the alliance of the southwest border, and I join the alliance on behalf of the town of Shadie, and I also support the town of White Bear as the leader of the southwest border. ”

This time it was Baron Lunit who spoke, and his attitude was extremely firm.

Compared to Baron Kells, Baron Lunit seems to have no bottom line.

Willy on the side was still silent, just crossed his fingers on his legs, not smiling because someone was supportive, nor was he dissatisfied because someone hesitated.

"I agree. ”

Baron Bivid of Fresh Grass Town had a green knot on his forehead, obviously after a very fierce inner choice.

For Baron Bivid, this choice was the best decision of the moment.

He doesn't have a way out like the other barons, and now Fresh Grass Town has been trampled on the head by Viscount Babila, how can he be Viscount Babila's opponent.

What's more, behind this Viscount Barbila, there may be another Viscount Jadens.

In the face of such a behemoth, Baron Bivid really did not have the confidence to persevere.

Accepting Baron Willy's opinion on this can be regarded as a solution to the urgent need, even if it is to drink water to quench his thirst, Baron Bivide also admits it.

As soon as Baron Bived said this, the faces of the other barons became even more ugly.

Originally, they were still very resistant in their hearts, but their thoughts were loosened little by little.

Finally, Stormwind Town, which had a good relationship with White Bear Town before, the lord Baron Naondo, made a choice.

"I also think that the union of the southwest border will bring us more opportunities. ”

Baron Naondo said with difficulty.

"I agree. ”

Seeing this, Baron Hebaso knew that he was not at the point of hesitation.

In this regard, six of the eight barons and lords on the southwest border have already accepted Willy's proposal.

Seeing this, the remaining two barons also complied with Willy's wishes.

At this time, if you still can't recognize the situation, then it is a little too irrational.

Members who are not united will definitely be suppressed in the future, and even forced to fall by violent means.

In this way, the union of the eight baronies on the southwestern frontier was officially agreed.

"It had to be the right choice. ”

Willy, who had been silent, finally showed a faint smile: "In this case, then congratulations on the successful union of the eight territories on our southwest border, since everyone thinks that White Bear Town can be the leader of the southwest border, then I also assure everyone that White Bear Town will do its best to maintain the peace of the southwest border." ”

After Willy finished speaking, a smile appeared on the faces of several barons.

Do your best to maintain tranquility on the southwestern border......

It sounds exciting, but it doesn't really convey anything substantial.

"In that case, let's set a date for the representatives of the town offices under the autonomy to negotiate the agreement. ”

Baron Kells spoke, and there were some things that he said, more appropriately than Willy: "Since we are united, we still need to set a synchronized standard of conduct. ”

The rest of the barons all refused, although they were a little helpless, but they had to admit it.

In the future, when the agreement is negotiated, the development of one's own territory will definitely be restricted.

No one is a fool here, and if they do things that are inconsistent, they will definitely be exposed.

"Three days later, let's send representatives of the town office to White Bear Town, and our town office mayor Sandor of White Bear Town will coordinate this matter. ”

Veli finally decided on the time.

"Baron Willy, what about the situation in Freshgrass Town......"

Baron Bivid looked at Willy with some hesitation.

"The situation in Fresh Grass Town will be solved by us in White Bear Town......"

Willy responded: "I'll send someone to fix this. ”

"Thank you so much, Baron Willy. ”

When Baron Bivid heard this, a relaxed expression finally appeared on his face.

It would be best if this matter could be resolved by White Bear Town, and I just hope that Baron Willy is a man of his word.

Next, the most important things have been discussed, and the solemn atmosphere in the reception hall has faded a lot.

The eight barons began to talk freely about the situation and expressed their opinions.

The conversation lasted about an hour, and everyone reached a lot of consensus.

"It's already lunch time, everyone, why don't we have lunch and communicate at the same time. ”

The host, Baron Kells, pondered the time for a moment, then stood up.

"Thank you Baron Kells for your hospitality. ”

Under the guidance of Baron Kells, eight barons walked towards the dining room at the same time.
