144: Lady Rose
The Manor of the Lords of Anilu City.
As the lord of Anilu City, Cloney is only a baron in the Duchy of Yarra on the surface, but secretly he is the leader of the largest underworld forces in the entire Western Sea, holding three pirate groups that are at the top of the continent, and there are countless gangs of all sizes.
In addition, Clooney is also the head of the Grand Knight of the Duchy of Yarra, and has business partners with whom he has business contacts throughout the continent of Northland.
With his strength, large number of men, and deep pockets, Clooney has always been the uncrowned king of the Duchy of Yara.
But such a character, who even the king needed to give three points of courtesy when he saw him, took several important men in the city to the north gate of Anilu early this morning, and waited under the sun.
Dressed in golden armor, he was arranged at the front according to his sword, behind him were the important nobles in the city, behind him were silver chain armor, the honor guard with a polished spear was lined up in two columns, and behind him were holding baskets full of petals and flowers, and there were countless maids with delicate makeup.
Even the king of the Principality of Yarra visited Anilu City and Clooney only greeted him at the gate of the manor, and such a grand event could not help but arouse the curiosity of the civilians in the city for a while, what happened?
"You've explained everything in the city, right?" Standing at the front of the line, Clooney asked a middle-aged man next to him, holding his long-standing sword in one hand
The middle-aged man who was questioned was in his forties, although he wore a very gentlemanly brown shirt with a buttoned brown shirt and white silk gloves on his hands, but his skin was dark, and there was a cross-shaped scar on his chin where he sat down, and his narrow eyes flashed with anger from time to time, and his temperament was completely out of tune with his legend.
"Yes, my lord. ”
He nodded and replied respectfully, "Those maggots in the city have already greeted them, and if anyone does not listen to the call today, there will be no place for him in this Anilu City in the future." ”
After a pause, the middle-aged man hesitated for a moment and asked Clooney, "My lord, you said... What does it mean that this Prussian has come to visit us suddenly?"
Clooney looked at the pipeline with no end in sight, and there was a little sadness on his face: "Lord Martin of Northumbriburg surrendered two days ago. ”
"Lord Martin of Northumbrham...", the middle-aged man suddenly realized the meaning of Cloney's words, his eyes suddenly opened, and he said in surprise: "Could it be..."
"That's right, war is imminent, and the Prussians are probably here to find out this time. Clooney sighed softly and gave a definite answer.
Fort Northumber is located in front of the Marchillan Corridor in the southwest of Northland, and is the gateway to the entire Marcherland Corridor and one of the important passages into the southwest region.
The Prussians' expansion has never stopped, and the intention of being taken by them is obvious, and the city of Anilu has convenient transportation and borders with several countries.
Clooney then sneered: "Everyone in this Golden Rose Continent is known to be that Allen's money bag, we have never crossed paths with them, but this time they suddenly want to talk to me about a business, and do you know who they are?"
The middle-aged man thought about it, suddenly his pupils shrank, and he exclaimed, "Could it be..."
"Yes. Clooney nodded: "It's their president, the lady of the rose who is rumored to be a lover with Ellen the Great." Speaking of this, his eyes narrowed slightly: "I think most of them want to take my Anilu City without spending a single soldier." ”
"Da Da Da!"
At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded in the distance, and in the distance, you could see a thick layer of dust rising at the end of the road, and a column of chic carriages galloped towards this direction under the arch of a pair of knights.
"That's why I asked you to let those little cubs give me some peace today, whether you want to surrender or not is a matter for the future, but don't cause me any trouble today, leave a handle for others. ”
That being said, the middle-aged man knew that Clooney had already made a decision in his heart, how could he stop the Prussian Jin Ge Iron Horse with his manpower, and at this time he just wanted to pretend to sell Anilu for a good price, after all, a well-kept city must be worth more than a chaotic sin city.
"Let's go, go welcome our friends!"
The convoy stopped not far from Cloney's procession at the gate of the city, and Clooney hurriedly walked up with a pole nobleman, and when he reached more than ten meters in front of the carriage, he was stopped by a silver-armored knight.
Clooney didn't have the slightest big knight's frame at this time, he was docile like a Mianyang, smiled at the silver-armored knight with a cold face, and waited beside the others.
A knight got out of the procession, went to the carriage and opened it, and when the door opened, a graceful woman stepped down from it.
The woman wore a long figure-shaped skirt that hugged her graceful figure, a coffee-colored shawl around it, and a bowler hat on top of her head.
When the politeness was raised, she revealed the delicate face below, which was very well maintained, and if it weren't for the few crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, it would not be obvious that she was a middle-aged woman in her forties.
Clooney took off the iron helmet above his head, pressed his left chest with one hand, and the nobles and the cavalry behind him did the same, and they all bent down in unison to pay the woman the highest courtesy:
"Lady Elena. ”
"Knight Harcourt" Blake hurriedly walked up, frowned and persuaded: "This is not good, don't forget, the city lord issued martial law today, you are so..."
"Get out of the way. But before he could finish speaking, Harcourt interrupted coldly, and he spat to the side: "Talking to you, it's already for the sake of Rylaine's face, don't be embarrassed." ”
Blake's face turned pale, he opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak, although he was a steward of Raylaine's shop, but compared to the group of devils of the Blood Vial Gang, he still didn't dare to offend, and for a while, there was more pity in his eyes when he looked at the young man in front of him.
Well?
However, when Blake looked at the young man, he was surprised to find that there was no panic on his face at this time, but a strange smile suddenly appeared.
Before Blake could figure out the meaning of the smile, the next scene that happened made Ling couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"Talking about business, huh?" Roshi looked at Harcourt in front of him with a smile, just wanted to get some money, but he didn't expect someone to take the initiative to send the money to the door, which is really good luck.
With this in mind, Roshi raised his hand, his elbow back, and slammed his fist into Harcourt's face.
