"I think it's important for you to make things clear, Lord Regent. When a nobleman sitting at the end of the throne saw Lixson leave the secret meeting place, doubts and uneasiness filled his mind. This nobleman was originally a "staunch" waver, and the reason why he came to the capital to attend the defense council was to see if the regent and others could come up with an effective and feasible defense plan. Then he used it as a bargaining chip to consider whether to surrender to the East Oguna Empire. I didn't expect that now I have become the regent's bargaining chip!

Marquis Makilov also said: "In other words, the regent has been hiding something from us just now, and now he sees that we are all willing to defend Doret City together, so he is honest with each other?" This long-necked marquis not only used to squinting his eyes into a line, but also like a line when his lips are closed, giving people a feeling of impermeability.

Xiumo smiled, he picked up the white markers that the various nobles had taken out, then held them with his hands and placed them around Doret City, "What we need now is unity, you have promised to send your own soldiers just now, I believe this is the best proof of our unity in the face of foreign enemies in the Holy Oguna Empire." ”

Although there were many vague things in the words that Xiumo had just said about the "Second Plan", and the details were not stated, Fidel had realized that it was all a ploy of the personable regent. Most of the attendees who came to this secret location today were coaxed, and many of them had different intentions before they came. Maybe the smile on the regent's face was gentle, but no one knew if there were already many soldiers in ambush outside the house. If these nobles did not agree to send troops to support the city of Doret, it might be difficult for them to make it out alive.

Feder looked at the seven nobles opposite, and even if there was the regent's younger brother among the seven men, they all had their own ghosts. However, of the seven people on their side, it is estimated that except for the old Stanley of Xiu Mo, there are few others who can be fully trusted.

Ludwig suddenly said, "So, from this moment on, I and my four men will not be able to leave Doret City until those invading troops break through the defenses of the Righteous King City and come here?"

Including Fuller, the leader of the Wave Mercenary Regiment, and De Barlo, the lord of the Tail Peninsula, they all immediately looked around the room and found that there was only one door in this room that allowed people to leave, except for the window behind Xiumo. But the smile on the corner of the Regent Xiu Mo's lips had already "closed" the doors and windows - it was impossible for them to get out of it all.

"As long as we work together, we don't have different hearts. Xiu Mopi replied with a non-smirk.

Everyone was so frightened by the conversation between Ludwig and Shumo that they didn't dare to speak, and the atmosphere that was still good instantly turned cold. The nobles who had only just arrived in Doret and had been invited to this secret meeting had realized that their methods were still inferior to those of the regent, and that it was too late to regret that they had come here.

However, Ludwig did not show a surprised expression, he fiddled with a white marker engraved with the word "four" in one hand, and said: "If St. Goliath and those gathered forces can resist the invading army in the city of the righteous king, then we can sit directly in the capital and enjoy the fruits of victory," Ludwig placed the marker in the city of the righteous king, "If they lose, we will defend the city of Doret to the death." ”

"That's right, so if it's convenient, you can write down the documents for the transfer of troops now, and I will send the most trusted knights to deliver them to your lords' homes in person. ”

Fei De suddenly saw the hidden murderous intent in the eyes of the regent Xiu Mo, although the other party's tone was understated, but it could be expected that these self-respecting nobles had become a bargaining chip in Xiu Mo's hands the moment they entered this room. Except for those who willingly supported the Theoguna Empire like Commander Satnam, everyone else must have weighed it up, but in the end they all decided to come here.

Fed saw two servants already walking in from outside the room, holding pens and paper, each in front of the lords. The Marquis of Montres was the first to take out his ring seal, first stamped it on the paper, and then wrote down the document for the mobilization of troops. When the other marquis and counts saw that Montrey had "complied", they had no choice but to take out all kinds of seals and stamp the written documents with their own seals, and one of the nobles drew a graphic symbol next to the seal, which seemed to be a secret code. Fide was still thinking about whether anyone would be killed or imprisoned if someone did not agree to send troops to support Doret City. But the pictorial symbols written down by the nobleman suggest that it is easiest and safest to appease them first with words, and then wait for them to voluntarily summon the army.

Gabralhouse, a close friend of Shumo's, returned to his seat and drank his tea. He was completely different from those nobles on the other side, and he was not afraid at all, and the regent Xiumo did not look at him either. Myra, Stanley, and Ludwig had all returned to their seats, and Satnam quickly drafted the paperwork that could mobilize more than 10,000 Church forces, stamped it with the seal of the head of the Church Order, and prepared to submit it to the regent Shumo.

"Your Excellency Commander Satnam, I believe that the Knights of the Church and the allies of the Church need your leadership, so you can leave when the meeting is over," Shumo symbolically accepted the document handed over by Satnam, but did not look at it, "but Your Excellency's staff may need to stay here." Shumo glanced at Fidel, and Fidel was not surprised, it seems that the regent has a special trust in Satnam, even if he sends someone to spy on him, he is not the same as them, he is just treated equally.

Returning to his seat, Satnam whispered to Fett, "You should see the situation clearly, right?"

"Probably clear. ”

"You may be under house arrest here during this time, do you have anything for me to bring to your subordinates?"

Fide glanced at the other nobles who were still writing the transfer papers, and then at the regent Xiumo, who had been smiling, "You tell my subordinates, don't worry about me, if you can, let my subordinates go to the rear to guard the rear, instead of rushing to the front." Fed realizes that everyone, including himself, has become a pawn in the hands of the regent, and this time the defense war of the Theoguna Empire has lost its meaning, and it is difficult for the potato mercenaries to do anything without being trusted. I don't know if the Holy Oguna Empire will have many chances to repel the invading army before the regent Xiumo decides to do so, but the regent's move will only make these powerful factions distrustful, and they will change from wavering factions to centrifugal factions, and the results are predictable. Now it is only hoped that the regent's house arrest will not be too heavily guarded, and that he will find an opportunity to escape from this new regime that will soon fall apart due to the dissension of the people.

Ludwig, a native of the Winter Country, who was sitting on the side, seemed to see through what Fielder was thinking, "Don't worry, we can get to know each other and exchange some views during this time." Ludwig looked at Fidel with blue-white eyes, his pointed chin curled.

It didn't take long for the regent Xiumo to get all the paperwork for the mobilization of troops. He looked at the number of troops written on it, and it was indeed the same as the troops voluntarily taken out by the major lords just now, and he immediately laughed: "When we repel the invading army of the East Oguna Empire, everyone here will be the great heroes of the country, if you want that territory at that time, you just need to talk to me, and I will immediately report it to His Majesty Manfret, there is absolutely no problem!" All of them were unmoved by the regent's words, some of them were depressed, some of them were sad, but only Ludwig and Gabrihaus looked very relaxed and did not worry about their situation in the slightest.

"By the way, what about this troop map?" and that Saresa," Lord Möngke asked suddenly.

"Oh, you can keep it, and I can tell you for sure that this map of the distribution of forces is true," said the Regent Xiu Mo, standing up, "and as for Asha, I will go myself." ”
