Chapter 277 Candidates Determined
The merchants saluted Jason with great interest, and then got up to leave, although they dared to question Mayor Dia's proposal, but they did not dare to contradict Jason's decision.
In fact, they have the right to senate when it comes to important decisions related to the territory, but they only have the right to senate.
Moreover, they also feel that they can not participate in this kind of thing, and according to past experience, all those who are involved in political struggles will not have any good results.
Although the Iron Tooth Collar is small, there will be factions within them.
The largest of these factions were the Former Knights of the Round Table, led by Lancelot, and most of the officials of the Iron Fang Order, large and small, secretly headed by them.
It's just that these people have no power except for Lancelot and Gareth, the two people who first followed Jason, who have real power, and Ranmarlock and Kay have no rights.
Although Lancelot in Lucca City seems to be in a high position, he and Zola are restrained by each other, which makes his actual power not very terrifying, but now people don't know that he has broken through the Sky Knight, otherwise the faction of the Iron Fang will have to reshuffle the cards.
The second is Hassan, who is in charge of the crows, as he has always followed Jason's side, he has positioned himself very low, usually thinking of himself as a servant, which also brings Jason's reuse.
Others, such as Lonnat and Beowulf, also had their own supporters.
Strictly speaking, it was still Beowulf who was the most powerful, as he was in charge of an army, but the Icefield outpost was too far away from the Iron Fang.
Jason doesn't really care about this, and in his opinion, it is good for a force to have healthy competition within it.
Leonidas and his army spent most of their time guarding the castle and not participating in decision-making, so Jason adopted a large number of orphans and gave them to the Spartan warriors to train, in an attempt to train a group of powerful warriors again.
"I'm going to sell the recently eliminated weapons in the barracks to the Viscount Lyons, and I'm going to trouble the old mayor to go back and help me contact them. ”
Jason waited until the caravan leaders had left.
Because the time for the recently obsolete batch of weapons and equipment is still somewhat short, re-maintaining it will not affect the use and trade.
But those that were the first to be eliminated have been piling up in the warehouse for a long time, and many of them have rusted, and even if Jason wants to sell them, no one necessarily wants to buy them.
"Yes, sir. ”
Mayor Dia was a little confused, and he thought that Jason had left him to discuss with him the specific plan.
Jason nodded, and then asked the old mayor to go back to rest.
In fact, he had just planned for the caravan to take over the arms trade, but Jason thought about it and immediately rejected the idea.
He still needs to take into account the feelings of the majority, if the caravan intervenes in the army, will they breed greater ambition in the future?
So he planned to talk to the Viscount of Leon directly with the army or the people of the castle, in fact, he felt that Kai was a good candidate, and his experience, ability, and loyalty were all trustworthy.
But these Knights of the Round Table have enough power, even if they trust them, but those officials at the bottom of the territory don't necessarily think so.
These people will look for backers for their own interests, although they do not clearly state their positions and former identities, but the Knights of the Round Table who are faintly united are undoubtedly the greatest energy in the Iron Tooth Collar, and the biggest backer in the eyes of everyone.
Think again, Jason comforted himself, but apart from Kay and Ranmaroke, he really couldn't think of anyone who could be on his own, and Leonidas preferred to train the orphans who had just arrived at the castle.
In his own words, he prefers combat to intrigue, in fact, Jason feels that he prefers war.
"My lord, there's news from Lucca. ”
Jason was alone here for a short time when Hassan hurried in from outside, his face still stunned.
"What's the news?" Jason had to stop his thoughts, looking up at him with a frown.
Hassan is like a character he has built up to stand up to Lancelot and Gareth.
"Lord Lancelot has broken through the Sky Knight. ”
Hassan took a deep breath before he spoke, and he still felt that the news was not true.
When he first got the news, he confirmed it several times before he came to Jason with the news in disbelief.
"Sky Knight......
Jason's eyes widened when he heard this, and the idea of the arms trade that he had originally intended for Kai to deal with was instantly overturned by him.
"Yes, and Lord Lancelot also captured alive a high-ranking member of the Deep Blue Cross, and this man came to the north to target you and the captured Graham, who was discovered by Lord Lancelot while fighting with the Holy See outside Lucca. ”
Hassan said solemnly, if it weren't for the deacons of the Holy See's Inquisition, maybe that demon swordsman would have come directly to Iron Fang Town.
However, he and Lanmalot, as well as Leonidas, are not necessarily afraid of him.
"Sky Knight...... Holy See ...... Deep Blue Cross ......"
Jason didn't get up with a frown and walked up and down the hall with a frown.
Seeing this, Hassan stood there without saying a word, and the only sound in the entire hall was Jason's footsteps, and the Spartan warriors who were in charge of guarding around him stood motionless like sculptures.
"Did the news say that this was Gwendelin's handiwork?" Jason asked with some hesitation, knowing that the invasion of the Lion Kingdom's army was not going well.
The 150,000-strong army was held back to his territory by the Marquis of Asa's less than 50,000 troops, and the battlefield of the Asa Territory had become a huge meat grinder, where thousands of soldiers were killed on both sides every day.
When the attack was useless, the army of the Lion Kingdom did not dare to retreat rashly, so Gwendrin had to come to the battlefield in person, and it stands to reason that she should not have the heart to find trouble for herself.
"Nope. ”
"Send a message to Lancelot and bring me the prisoner of the Deep Blue Cross to Ironfang. ”
He suddenly stood still and said in a deep voice to Hassan, now that his Iron Tooth Town prison has imprisoned a group of dangerous characters, this one is not bad.
"Inform Lonnat and ask him to come to me. ”
Now the head of the arms trade has already been identified by him.
