In the mansion of Panshiling, Count George Nari finally waited for the messenger from the West, and after opening the letter and skimming through it, his face became more and more gloomy.

"What does the letter say?" asked a fidgeting baron. From the river god's family crest on the questioner's chest, it can be seen that this person is a member of the Leviathan family, whose territory is located at the intersection of rivers, and is considered a well-known family in the local area.

And a nobleman like him, there are still about twenty people in the study.

It can be said that half of the feudal nobles near Chishui City have gathered here.

George glanced at the other party coldly, and did not answer immediately, but handed the letter to Guy Julian, Earl of the Three Rivers, and after he had read it, he slowly spoke, "Roland Wimbledon has stripped the Lord of Willow Town of all power and taken his territory for himself. ”

"The new king...... Did you really do that?"

"Hell, is the purpose of his trip really as the previous news claimed, to take back all our titles?"

"Why? It's from my grandfather's generation!"

"Willow Leaf Town is too close to the fortress, and the scale is not large, doesn't it mean that Chishui City will be like this, right?" someone suddenly said.

"He didn't swallow Wang Du before, he probably couldn't swallow it, maybe we should wait and see. ”

Hearing this, George couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Could it be that Chishui City is farther away from the western realm than the city of eternal night? Is it true that your territory is larger than the entire northern realm? Are you blind or stupid? Roland Wimbledon wants to take back the power of all the nobles and it is not a matter of a day or two - the example of the Northland is in front of you, the news of the merchant has repeatedly mentioned this, and now even Willow Town has become a living proof, but you are still wondering if you are the next unlucky person?"

"Pay attention to your wording, Your Excellency. ”

This mean and disrespectful remark made the nobles frown.

"Let me come," Guy waved his hand at Count Panshi, "but you all know very well that our new king is no ordinary man. After he was assigned to the border town, everything he did was beyond imagination, and it was meaningless to use the previous rules and experience to measure the gains and losses. I also sent someone to the West, and Roland Wimbledon had no intention of hiding his thoughts, and no longer divided the land, and the nobles only kept their titles...... These have basically become the slogans of his territory, and they are hung in the city square. ”

His calm tone softened everyone's emotions, "You may say that Chishui City is not his territory, but the Changge Fortress was not his in the first place, let alone the northern border. Sooner or later, Roland Wimbledon will become King of the Grey Keep, and at that point, even if he claims the entire kingdom as his domain, we will have to accept it - and this is almost certain. Guy paused, "If you lose your fiefdom and your people, what will you have left?"

"But what can we?" Khufu, who was also a baron from Leviathan, couldn't hold his breath, "His Majesty Tifeco has been defeated, and the church has also been defeated, who else can stop him?" The last time the Western army came to Chishui City, it was not like they had not seen how they fought - within a hundred paces, the snow powder weapon would kill if it touched, and the heavily armored knight could not get close, such a force is not something we can compete with at all!"

This remark caused a chorus of echoes.

"Of course there is a way," George said coldly, "Although the Snow Powder Weapon is powerful, it is not without its weaknesses - it needs an open space to be used, and the larger the space, the more powerful it is, but when compressed into a confined environment, its usefulness is very limited. ”

"Narrow ...... Environment?"

"The Lord's Castle, for example," he said word by word, sweeping over the nobles present, "when Roland Wimbledon arrives in Chishui City, he will inevitably live in the castle—there are no more guards in there, and if we can send more people in, the situation will turn in our favor." ”

"Mistress Delta agreed to work with you?" Leviathan surprised.

With his temperament, how could he do such a thing, even if he put a knife on his neck, he probably wouldn't be able to raise the heart to resist. George shook his head disdainfully, "But this guy has helped me a lot - there are many secret passages in the castle that connect to the outer city, as long as you spread out the people and settle in advance." ”

"How could you...... Know this kind of thing?"

"Count Todelta's blessing, if it weren't for his penchant for digging around the city, I wouldn't have been able to buy this news from the artisans. As the saying goes, rabbits have several litters, and I don't know whether to praise him for being cautious or cowardly," George sneered, "This trick was originally intended to deal with him, and now it is not a waste to use it on the fourth prince." ”

"But this is a treason......," muttered Khufu, "and if Roland Wimbledon is killed, his army will also crush us to powder!"

"Who said they were going to kill him?" George knocked on the table in displeasure, "We just need to take control of the situation and hold Roland in our hands." If the new king does not die, his army will not dare to act wantonly, and can even force the other party to withdraw. As soon as the news spreads, the nobles will undoubtedly come to our side at once—remember, the place he actually controls is just one place to the west. When it really comes to the reversal, it is still a question mark whether the Duke of the North will insist on standing on his side. ”

"But he ...... in the end"

"He is not a true king yet, Baron," interrupted Guy Julian, "he has not been crowned, nor has he been announced, but we can find another Wimbledon bloodline, a royal heir who believes in nobility and follows ancient traditions, to be king." As long as you look carefully in the royal capital, such a person will always be found. ”

"If that moment comes, maybe we don't have to look for it, someone will already stand up. George lowered his voice, "And you all should know how much you can get in the lucratives." On the one hand, there is the loss of everything, and on the other hand, the Glorious Family, is there still any need to hesitate?"

There was a commotion among the nobles, and it could be seen that they already had a rough choice in mind.

George Nary was not surprised by this result, as the nobles he had found were themselves more inclined to side with Tifeko, and even if the second prince was no longer there, they would not play for the fourth prince, who was seriously hindering his interests. Coupled with the temptation of profit, it is enough to make this group of cowards become bold.

However, their abilities are always limited, and if there is no one to lead, they are just a plate of scattered sand. Only he is a more suitable candidate to serve as the lord of Chishui City and manage the central region.

After a moment, Leviathan and the others seemed to have made up their minds, "What are we going to do next?"

"Send some trusted knights to my command, and the rest ...... Just wait. George was confident.
