Chapter 267: The War Before the Throne (I)

In October 2085, Duke Greg's fleet arrived in the Zoi system and stationed in orbit near the outer space orbit of the Wikiplanet of the Zoi system.

As the person in charge of the administrative planning of the entire Ruoi system, Baron Jays flew to the fleet's flagship on the space shuttle as soon as possible to welcome Duke Greg's arrival.

"Jais, being thrown here for more than half a year, doesn't it taste good to be a cattle in the wilderness?"

On the way to the bridge through the battleship's corridor, several colleagues who were familiar with Baron Jays were already waiting to greet him here, and greeted him affectionately.

"Are you making fun of me? Uzi. Jays smiled and punched the other party: "Damn, I'm suffering from the reclamation here, and you're comfortable, as radiant as ever." ”

"There is nothing to do, and I sleep all day long, eating, eating, and sleeping, of course, I am radiant." The Imperial Baron named Uzi smiled at the others around him, then shook his head helplessly: "Do you know, after you stepped down, this guy Reginod was full of energy and made the United States of Sava a miasma. And...... Hehe...... His máo illness in power was really extraordinary, and he took over all the work by himself with the guys named Gregg, leaving all of us with nothing to do. ”

“……”

Hearing the obvious complaint in Uzi's tone, Jays's eyes inadvertently flashed a look of surprise - other book friends were reading:. But he quickly lowered his head to hide his gaze, and shook his head with a helpless look: "But he did a good job, at least he completed the task given by Lord Duke Jiāo ahead of schedule." So...... Hehe......"

"Hey, Jaes, you can't be so depressed."

Uzi motioned for the other two to block the other end of the corridor, leaned over to Jaais's side, and whispered in a low voice, "This guy Reginord is obviously ready to unite all the Greg family blood relatives to hold the power. Now, those of us have been marginalized, and the nobles who have traveled thousands of miles to support the Duke are also invisibly excluded by Reginord. As you know, the purpose of the Duke coming here this time is to officially establish the state and become the emperor. A lot of things will settle in these days, Jays, you have done a good job here, and this is a feat that no one can erase. So you have to get yourself the best position, otherwise when Reginord comes back with the last vote, none of us will have a good life. ”

"This ......," Jaess said hesitantly

As the Duke's cousin, Reginord quickly co-opted all his blood relatives after gaining reuse, which Jays had expected earlier, and his actions were tacitly accepted by Duke Greg. Therefore, in the previous plan with Danding, in addition to negotiating with Greg on the location of the agreement with Danding, Jays's mission was to secretly provoke contradictions between the Duke's foreign nobles and blood nobles, so that after the official attack, these foreign nobles could contain the blood nobles who had the surname Greg. But judging from the current situation, because of Reginord's unscrupulousness, there has been enough conflict between the two groups of foreign nobles and blood nobles, which makes Jaais's task simpler, but it also inevitably gives birth to bolder ideas.

"Jays, are you afraid of that Reginord guy?" Seeing the hesitant look on Jaes's face, Uzi anxiously persuaded: "We are friends who have known each other since childhood, you see, we were taken in by the duke at a very young age, and went to the empire hand in hand to obtain the title of noble, so in the eyes of outsiders, we are one. And now, the nobles who have come to the duke are also planning to join forces with us, so you don't have to worry about Reginord at all. Jaes, you've never been a timid person, you're the most flexible person among us, you should understand that you can't stand up for your own interests, so you have to stand up for our interests - good-looking"

"But...... Reginor has gained the trust of the Duke, and it is the Duke's intention to reuse blood relatives. As for me...... Because of Reginord, I was even dismissed by the Duke, and no matter how much I did before, I was only waved here by the Duke after his words. ”

Jaas said this in a helpless voice, carefully observing the expression on Uzi's face. Sure enough, Uzi clearly flowed out of disappointment and anger of the god.

"Alright, Uzi. Maybe it's not as bad as you think. Let me go meet the Duke first, and I'll try to get it if I can. ”

After leaving the seeds of resentment in the hearts of these colleagues, Jays waved goodbye to them, quickly came to the bridge of the flagship, sorted out his appearance and the words he had already calculated in his heart, and officially met Duke Greg.

Perhaps because of the imminent establishment of the state of the country, Duke Greg's jīng god was unusually high-pitched, and as Jays walked into the bridge, he was chatting with some of his relatives standing beside him. However, Jia Aisi noticed that some unfamiliar faces were isolated from afar, and the expressions on their faces were faintly mixed with a hint of yīn gloom.

Obviously, these unfamiliar faces were the nobles of the empire who had responded to the duke's call to defect. However, for these people, although the duke gave them due courtesy, he did not pay attention to them.

Unlike Hoffmann the Great and Robin, Duke Greg did not have any grand ideals for the purpose of establishing the country, but simply to satisfy his personal rights** and to build a kingdom like the primeval era. Therefore, he will inevitably pay more attention to relatives who have the same blood as him, and young jīngying like Jia Aisi, who was cultivated by him, is just like a domestic slave in his eyes, and he will not pay too much attention to them at all. As for the Imperial nobles who came to defect in front of him, Duke Greg thought that they were just seeing that their side was profitable and came to curry favor with him, and at best they were just an icing on the cake, so he didn't pay much attention to them.

The inflated ego had already made Duke Greg get carried away, and he didn't realize that a devouring beast was spying on him and faintly baring its sharp, bloodthirsty fangs—beautiful

"Your Majesty."

Realizing that Duke Greg hadn't looked at him at all after he walked into the bridge, Jays suddenly felt a trace of irrepressible resentment in his heart, and at the same time, he was even more glad that he had made a wise choice to join forces with Dante. However, on the surface, Jays has great respect for Duke Greg, and uses His Majesty, a title that only emperors can enjoy, in advance.

"Oh, it's Jays." Sure enough, after hearing someone call himself 'Your Majesty', Duke Greg immediately turned his gaze to Jays and nodded approvingly: "You have done a good job here, I am satisfied." But...... I feel like you're ignoring space construction. As a result, after my fleet arrives here, there isn't even a spaceport to dock at. ”

“……”

Jais didn't expect that his efforts in the Ruoyi system would be blamed head-on after a perfunctory encouragement, which suddenly made the resentment in his heart rise steadily. And it just so happened that Baron Uzi and the others, who followed Jays into the bridge, also happened to hear Duke Greg's accusation, and the look on their faces suddenly became extremely ugly.

In fact, everyone present knew that it was very rare for Jays to be able to carry out the ground construction in an orderly manner without any help. After all, he is currently in charge of ... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ］
