Lear never thought that West would honestly come out to negotiate with him, and if he had been so brave, he would not have tried to lure the mages into confrontation with Bracada's army on the walls of Palofodi, and then abandon thousands of warriors and mages and flee alone.

Although he was not the murderer who directly killed the teacher, he single-handedly directed the tragedy, if it weren't for him, those people in Palofodi would never have to fight the Bracadas, and with the protection of the Continental Mage Association, they would be able to live a stable life even if the Academy of Magic fell.

If Vest and Palofodi were martyred together, Lear would not only have nothing to say but admire his bravery and loyalty.

But he escaped, so naturally he also had a share of the account.

"I repeat, I'm not here to invade Tartaglia, but if you're determined to bury the conspirators, I'm not going to be polite. ”

War is not the only way to solve the problem, this Lear is deeply aware of this, not to mention that it is against his will to really destroy the royal city of Nereel, but he will not choose to back down in order to avoid war, if there is only one option left, even if he bulldozes Nereel, he will not hesitate.

No one answered Lear's words, because at least on the surface, West is still the king of Tartaglia, even if the current situation is extremely unfavorable to him, but as long as he is not ousted from the throne for a day, those treacherous and cunning guys above will never stand in line at will, as for whether there is a little ninety-nine in private, it is all a matter in the dark box.

The most important thing in Game of Thrones is to follow the rules, and those who don't play according to the rules will be treated as a common enemy by everyone.

There was silence on the city wall, and although the representatives of the various forces did not speak, a dozen pairs of staggering eyes were eager to dig out the hearts of everyone who passed by, to see what others were thinking, and what kind of benefits they or the masters behind themselves could make in this wave of tide.

For a while, no one even spoke out against Lear's arrogance, not even mentioning defending the city.

Altyn Don't be caught in the middle, angry and angry, angry that these people are still unable to fight against foreign enemies in the face of national disasters, and angry that they are helpless in the face of this situation.

Although he is a general, the commander of the Imperial Guard is a very embarrassing position, whether it is high or not, it is not low or low, at least more than half of the people in front of him or the masters behind them can form a control over him, and even the chief steward sent by the palace to question Blidt also raised his sleeves and looked cold.

However, just as everyone was hesitating and cautiously exchanging opinions with their eyes, a loud noise sounded on the road to the city in the distance, and then an old man with gray hair and drooping eyes as if he was going to die in the next second, walked towards this side under the arch guard of a team of heavily armed werewolf people.

"Chancellor of the Exchequer!"

Alkin felt very strange and at the same time felt a slight warmth in his heart, as the existence second only to the prime minister among civil officials, he actually didn't need to appear on the city wall at this time.

Moreover, the residence of the old viscount of Valenque is not in the West End, he originally had a mansion in the commercial street of the North District, and after taking over the post of Chancellor of the Exchequer, he lived directly in the Finance Department for the convenience of work.

In the past few months, after his hard work, the empire's finances, which had been messed up by West, have shown signs of gradually becoming clearer, and coupled with his usual kindness and lack of any aristocratic pretenses, old Valenque is also one of the few people in the royal capital who is respected by Altyn.

"My lord, the enemy siege is dangerous here, I have received your wishes on behalf of the soldiers, but please go home quickly, the sword has no eyes, if you have any mistakes, I really can't afford it. ”

Altyn immediately abandoned the stake-like crowd to greet him, in his heart, the Chancellor of the Exchequer who was brave enough to take on the national disaster was undoubtedly much more respectable than these flies and dogs, and when old Valenque arrived, the dozen pairs of rat-like eyes immediately focused on him.

At this time, the higher the official, the easier it is to become the vane of everyone.

"Hehe, it's okay, the old man just came to see the situation, and by the way, asked the enemy chief a few questions. ”

After hearing Valenque say this, Altyn suddenly felt a haze in his heart, and he stopped sideways in the middle of the aisle, and his tone immediately became gloomy.

"Chancellor of the Exchequer, please come back, it is the duty of our soldiers to defend the city against the enemy, and you don't have to worry about it. ”

If those people were just waiting and watching just now, then what Altyn felt from Valenke was determination without hesitation, the old man in front of him who looked like he might die at any time looked very different from usual, and the kind of light revealed in the other party's eyes at this moment was by no means the look of worrying about the country and the people and sharing the emperor's worries.

He respected Valenke's character, but he also had his own insistence in his heart, and in order to avoid tearing his face here, he had to drive people out first.

And not only the Chancellor, when he made up his mind, he would drive out all the people on the wall, and if these people stayed here, not only would it not be of any help, but it would bring a huge blow to the morale of the soldiers.

"Huh. Valenque still had the same unfazed dead fish expression, his smile hanging on the corners of his mouth like two pieces of dried bacon, and the heavy age spots seemed to be the mud he deliberately brushed on his face, so that people could never guess what was going on in his heart.

"The old man is just here to ask a few words, if the general insists on stopping me, you might as well take a look at this first. ”

A dark green jade pendant appeared in front of Altyn with Valenke's stretched thin palm, the material was ordinary and the suspension rope was rough, even in the bazaar of the poor in the southern district, it was the kind of rotten street goods, but Altyn only glanced at his eyes and dilated sharply, and then his breathing became heavier, and even his shoulders trembled slightly.

The men behind him saw that Altyn suddenly stopped moving, and they all looked sideways, but because of his broad back, they could not see anything.

"In vain, I have always respected you as a virtuous minister who shares worries for the country, but I can't imagine that you are also an unscrupulous villain. ”

Altyn almost collided with his teeth one by one, and his red eyes fell on Valenck's face like a cow, but he had to suppress his anger as hard as he could.

Because the owner of that jade pendant is none other than his only son, Sony.

The jade pendant is here, and there is no doubt that the person is in the hands of Valenck.

"Extraordinary measures are used in extraordinary times, I am old, I can't compare to you young people, just spare me if you fight and kill or something, and share worries for the country, but not for thieves, general, your road is still very long. ”

Old Valenque patted Altyn on the shoulder, and then walked over to the gap in the women's wall with a smile.

"Ahead of you is Mr. Lear of Palofodi?"

When he looked out of the city, the Chancellor's chaotic eyes were filled with fine light, and there was still a half-decrepit and dying appearance.

"Your Excellency?" Lear looked at the old man who suddenly appeared curiously, the scene just now was not seen by others, but old Valenque did not deliberately avoid his eyes, not only that, but the angle at which the other party took out the jade pendant was just before the gap in the female wall, as if he intended to let him see it.

"When I was in Bekov, I was called Old Shiki, and when I came to Nireel they called me Chancellor of the Exchequer, but I still prefer to be called by my last name, old Valenke, have you ever heard of a young man?"

Valenque looked at Lear with a smile on his face.

Li Er was stunned when he heard this, and then his heart was overjoyed, but when he was about to say hello to the other party, the old man shook his head secretly.

"I haven't heard of it, if the old man wants to come to be a lobbyist for West, I advise you to save some effort, if you don't open the door and surrender within three minutes, watch me trample Nireel into a ruin!"

"Hehe, the young people now are impatient, no matter what, I won't participate in this kind of fighting, killing and killing, so you can toss it at will. ”

After that, Valenke immediately regained his drooping and decrepit appearance, and even his back was a little more stiff because he talked too much.

"The old man finished asking, and the general is good at himself. ”

He didn't stop walking past Altyn, and the faint sound of a hummingbird flapping its wings fell into the general's ears with great clarity.
