Chapter 322: Coalition (Medium)

The Earl and Luo Ming both smiled and exchanged a few words of greeting.

The words are all normal, and the tone is very ordinary, but there seems to be a little strange smell in it.

"Your Excellency Luo Ming only obtained the status of a nobleman last year, and this year he has developed so far, he is worthy of a talent, I really want my grandson to learn from you as an example. ”

- just became a nobility's nouveau riche imp, my grandson is about the same age as you, isn't it respectful to see me as an elder?

"Whereever, Your Excellency the Earl is nearly sixty years old and can still put on armor and horses, and you should be old and strong, and your children and grandchildren must be very proud. ”

- Old ghost, you can still be alive and kicking at the age of sixty, and if you don't care about your grandson, your son will definitely be angry. After forty years as the eldest son, he can't succeed to the throne, and maybe he will die before you, so I really want to talk to him.

The two didn't want others to see this argument, and immediately ended the temptation of the words.

Then in his heart, he raised the danger of the other party by half a level - just because he is powerful, strong, and can fight, it's enough, and he also knows the art of speaking, which is even more tricky.

Most outsiders didn't see that there was still temptation and ridicule in these words, and they felt a lot more relieved to see that the two seemed to put aside their prejudices for the time being.

Most of the nobles came to join the coalition, not for the sake of justice. Some of them are just afraid that cultists and monsters will threaten their territory when they become stronger, so they just strike first.

And most nobles, on the one hand, do not want to offend the court, and on the other hand, they also feel that it is profitable - as long as they win, there will always be merit and reward.

These speculators came to join the coalition because they were convinced that they could win.

If the feud between Lockin and the Earl is directly exposed, then there will be a huge estrangement within the coalition army, and in this case, it will hardly be able to win the battle, and these speculators will naturally be the party with the greatest losses.

Just then, several men dressed in priest's robes walked in.

Although Luo Ming only knew one Jacob among them, this did not prevent him from identifying these people according to the patterns on the other party's clothes and Aya's knowledge.

Among them, the first few are the leading figures of the major churches in Van Shee County.

The rest of them are either samurai chiefs of major churches or masters like Jacob.

In this county, the swordsman is indeed a well-deserved master.

After all, in the story that Luo Ming and she fabricated, the goddess of cleanses is the ancestor of Ariana, and she has naturally flowed with divine blood, and she has been inspired by this ancestral god, so she can be said to be the first person in the clean church, theoretically far beyond the average bishop, and even a saint or a pope.

No matter how small the power of the Purifying Church is, as long as it is recognized by the major churches as one of them, then it must give a little face.

Just like the Celestial Empire in later generations, if a foreign leader came to visit, even if the country was not as small as a county of the Celestial Empire, it would still be warmly entertained.

Why? Because the other side is the ruling class, and to defend the other side is to safeguard one's own dignity as the ruling class.

If the poor side of the leader of a small country is displayed in public, the leader of a large country will also lose face.

It's just that Ariana and Luo Ming are unwilling to be in the limelight - Luo Ming herself has the strength and territory, and Ariana has nothing now, just a theoretically noble identity, and it is difficult to get any practical benefits by forcibly being in the limelight, and maybe she will suffer.

As soon as these people entered, the chatter of the nobles in the living room was lowered.

There are not many people among the nobles who are pious enough, but they at least know how to revere the power - these church bosses have gods as the backstage, can use divine magic, and manage tens of thousands or even 100,000 acres of church territory, and they are all powerful in the circle of nobles.

Seeing that the people had arrived, the Count said:

"Today, in response to the call of the court, you have put aside your prejudices and come to Conle Hill to work together. I am truly honored to be the host here. ”

As he spoke, he raised his glass and greeted everyone present.

"A toast to our Excellency the Earl!" everyone toasted in response.

At this moment, Luo Ming smiled slyly and suddenly grabbed the topic: "Without further ado, since several adults from the Inquisition Court have arrived, let's ask them to tell me the detailed information about the enemy." ”

Looking at the Count who was stunned, he smiled and said, "The party can be held after victory, and with the joy of victory, even the bitter juice can taste the taste of fine wine."

His Excellency the Earl had the misfortune of being calculated by thieves before, and although I was not a retainer of his family, I was also a member of the Duchy of Lothar, and I lived in this county of Van Shey, so naturally I could not sit idly by.

Those monsters fed on people, were fierce and cunning, and were insatiable, and now there were cultists helping them, killing people, abusing nobles, and insulting the temple. Many more victims are added with each hour that passes.

The information should be analyzed immediately, prepared as soon as possible, and then marched immediately, and the cancer should be dealt with without delay, and they should not be given a chance to breathe and develop. ”

"We can repay the gods for making us noble, and for ourselves, we have eliminated a great threat from the vicinity of our territory. Wouldn't it be beautiful to gain a good reputation, and also help His Excellency the Earl to get rid of his shame?

At that time, the generous Earl will surely reward us with a time of pleasure. ”

As soon as these words came out, he immediately became another center of the nobles present, and he and the earl vaguely formed a rivalry, and even several big figures of the church looked at him with approval.

After all, his speech basically went to the hearts of the vast majority of people present.

In fact, the main point of this passage is three points: we should attack as soon as possible and not give the enemy a chance to develop;

to show his respect for the churches and the gods;

and to lift the Count high, and to ask him again to stretch out his hand for payment.

The first one reflects his understanding of military affairs, and many nobles who have fought in the war will feel the same way.

The second is to make the major churches have a good impression of him.

As for the third one, Luo Ming praised him so much, "Your Excellency the Generous Earl" is embarrassed not to pay enough remuneration to all the nobles present?

If he dares to repay his debts like this, his reputation will turn bad the next day.

In this way, it won the unanimous support of the nobles who came for their reward.

Moreover, even if the Earl did pay a large amount, they would be grateful to Luo Ming himself for helping them get paid, and the Earl's payment would be regarded as a matter of course.
