This is the largest aristocratic mansion in Maple Leaf Fortress. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

As the sky dawned, various flags began to flutter in the open space in the mansion, and at the same time, horse-drawn carriages painted with various family emblems stopped outside the mansion one after another, these exquisite family emblems symbolized a large part of the real power of the aristocracy in the western provinces.

At this moment, groups of brightly dressed nobles entered the mansion one after another.

This mansion occupies a huge area, and from the outside, whether it is the expensive wooden gate or the slightly vicissitudes of the mansion exterior wall, it shows the long history of this mansion. This kind of historical precipitation is extremely important in aristocratic circles, and it is the standard for judging the cultivation of an aristocracy.

And this mansion is the residence of the owner of the Maple Leaf Fortress, Viscount Felix.

Maple Leaf Viscount Felix, a nobleman who can rank among the top three in the west, has a long family heritage, and has controlled the Maple Leaf Fortress for hundreds of years, even Andy, the Earl of the West, is quite jealous.

Walking into the hall of the Viscount's Mansion, Wang Xiaotian felt a sense of luxury.

Exquisite tables and chairs, as well as classical decoration, just the candlestick on the table is very unusual, pure gold candlestick, beautiful shape, inlaid with red sapphire base looks brilliant, at the same time, look at the exquisite craftsmanship, in such an industrially backward world, it should be expensive.

What Wang Xiaotian didn't know was that the candlestick was made by a special craftsman from the violet royal family. Moreover, in this hall, including the chair where Wang Xiaotian was sitting, they were all antiques with history, and the Warcraft carpet on the ground, according to Wang Xiaotian's vision in the Great Wilderness, was at least silver-level, and it was also a rare Warcraft.

Today is the day when the Maple Leaf Fortress holds its pre-war council.

As the leader of an army, Wang Xiaotian received the invitation as a matter of course, so Wang Xiaotian came to this mansion early in the morning.

But he looked at the nobles present, there was a trace of helplessness in his eyes, although his subordinates were strong, but in the circle of nobles, people like him who were ordinarily dressed and did not have an aristocratic temperament would generally be regarded as a nouveau riche who had just made a fortune, and he was not valued by the nobles.

Therefore, after Wang Xiaotian entered the hall, no one came to talk to him, so he stood outside the aristocratic circle, quietly observing the ruling class of this world.

And there are a few people who are still treated worse than Wang Xiaotian, such as the leader of the orcs and the leader of the barbarians......

Wang Xiaotian was at least a human being, while the orcs and barbarians were obviously aliens, so they were obviously ostracized in this hall.

As time went by, more and more nobles gathered.

When a middle-aged nobleman of medium stature with a resolute face and an angular face walked into the hall, the lively nobles closed their mouths.

This middle-aged man was Viscount Maple Leaf, and as he slowly walked into the hall, Wang Xiaotian could clearly feel the majesty of the superior on this Viscount.

Although they are all viscounts, Wang Xiaotian did not feel this kind of coercion in the body of Viscount Wood, obviously, there are also strong and weak differences between viscounts, and the strength of this Viscount Felix is afraid that it is not much different from Earl Andy.

When Viscount Felix slowly took his seat, a group of six people followed, they sat on both sides of Felix, these six are also viscounts, they are the most noble six nobles in this Maple Leaf Fortress, including Wood.

At this moment, Wood was wearing the unique costumes of the aristocracy, and this pot-bellied nobleman looked quite solemn and dignified at the moment.

Felix coughed lightly and said, "Everyone, let's start the meeting!"

As his words fell, the nobles standing on either side chose a place to sit on the periphery.

Wang Xiaotian chose a more remote position to sit down, because he knew that as a representative of the orc forces, he had no right to speak at all, so it was better to be quiet in the corner, which was the disadvantage of not having strength.

"Ladies and gentlemen, as we all know, the brutal Vitan trolls are wreaking havoc on our territory, so we are gathered here to fight against these savage trolls," Felix said in a heavy tone, "Everyone here, you must know that our opponent is a barbarian army that has destroyed the city of Io, so when we fight them, we must have an arrangement for which army is in front, which army is covering, and which army is attacking, and we must not be negligent, so we are holding this meeting here today." ”

The main purpose of this meeting was to determine the order in which the various nobles would go to war.

You must know that in this era when the vanguard is equivalent to cannon fodder, the first to participate in the war may end up being the annihilation of the entire army.

Of course, as Wang Xiaotian, who was assessed by Nick as a golden combat power, he should not be arranged to be cannon fodder.

But what puzzled Wang Xiaotian was that with Felix's arrangement, none of the nobles expressed dissatisfaction, which was undoubtedly abnormal.

"Alas, envy!" a fat man sitting next to Wang Xiaotian sighed softly, as if he regretted that he could not participate in the war.

Wang Xiaotian was puzzled, and he asked in a low voice: "Sir, you didn't arrange it on the frontal battlefield where the conflict was most tragic, why did you sigh?"

The fat man glanced at Wang Xiaotian, and saw that Wang Xiaotian's clothes were not as gorgeous as those of nobles, so he pretended to be proud and said, "I'm afraid that you have only recently been awarded the title of nobleman! You don't know this news?"

"I'm smiling, sir, you must have a great family history! What is it that makes you so sorry?"

Wang Xiaotian lightly complimented and asked with a smile.

Listening to Wang Xiaotian's words, the fat man puffed up his chest more and more, and said proudly: "I am Baron Dick of Dick Town!

"Seeing that you have done a good job of etiquette, let me tell you about it! ”

He coughed lightly and explained to Wang Xiaotian.

"We're all gathered at Maple Leaf Fortress this time, you should know what it's for!" he glanced around mysteriously and said, "This time it's the handiwork of the Violet royal family, an earl's position, four viscounts' titles, and countless benefits!"

"Viscount Maple Leaf has mastered the Maple Leaf Fortress for so many years, and he has long had the strength of an earl, and as long as the troll army is destroyed this time, this lord is afraid that he will be promoted to earl. ”

Listening to Baron Dick's eloquent talk, Wang Xiaotian was thoughtful.

This time, the Violet royal family really promised a lot of benefits, and the title is probably one of them, and I don't know how many benefits there are in secret.

The fat man looked at Wang Xiaotian's thoughtful appearance, thinking that he was attracted by what he said, and then became more and more pretentious.

"Do you see the six below Viscount Maple Leaf in front?"

"There are two people on the left and right, the one on the left is the ruler of the Eddie family, they are the largest mining family in the west, and they are strong, and on the right is the master of the Morse family, this family controls the most fertile land in the western province, and the Morse cavalry has the title of the strongest cavalry in the west!"

"The last four, the four viscounts of our western provinces, all have a western trade route, especially the second on the left, he is the representative of Shane Town! Shane Town of the Golden Trail is a powerful nobleman who has risen recently, and Town is adjacent to Shane Town, and I have a friendship with that one!"

Speaking of this, this Dick glanced at Wang Xiaotian, and Wang Xiaotian was very appropriately shocked.

"Ahem, low-key, low-key...... Go on, let's go on," Dick said reservedly, "You know, those people have been dissatisfied with Earl Andy for a long time, and in recent years, Count Andy has often taken action against some great wilderness trade routes, and many territories have been controlled by Lord Earl by various means. ”

"And the previous few of their territories are in these awkward positions, so I'm afraid they have already made many compromises with Lord Earl! And in the recent battle of Io City, Shane Town sacrificed a demon hunting warband! This kind of elite has been sacrificed, presumably Lord Shane must be uncomfortable in his heart!"

When it came to the battle of Io City, Dick's tone was also a little heavier, and he said: "The battle of Io was a mess, the Earl was not there, and several viscounts were not convinced by anyone, and the supplies, post-war comfort, and commanders were all chaotic, and it was said that several big men in the city were fighting fiercely at that time, and it was no wonder if they didn't lose, and if the battle was arranged to charge, it would be real cannon fodder! ”

As he spoke, he looked fanatical, with excitement in his eyes, and whispered to Wang Xiaotian: "This time is the handiwork of the royal family, just the armament sent can equip the vast majority of nobles! And it is said that Viscount Felix is bound to win the position of earl, so he said a long time ago that if anyone has a loss in this battle, he can compensate for it, and he will never let us suffer!"

"A nobleman like Viscount Maple Leaf, who aspires to be an earl, attaches great importance to his reputation, think about it, this time to resist the trolls is definitely not to be lost!"

After listening to the fat man's words, Wang Xiaotian had already figured out some of the situation.

Violet royal family good means.

He could only sigh like this.

This war was simply played by the violet royal family.

Win over a group of devils and suppress a group of nobles.

First, they promised a bunch of benefits, what titles, what territories, what wealth...... Wooed a group of short-sighted nobles, and then through secret contacts, won over the nobles who had conflicts with Count Andy.

For example, this Maple Leaf Viscount, as the most powerful viscount in the west, he and Earl Andy themselves have conflicts, and then co-opt several border viscounts to form a political group, and this political group has a common enemy - Andy, Earl of the West.

Then there is the suppression of a group of nobles.

For example, in the previous battle of Io City, I believe that the entire western aristocratic coalition army, coupled with the back hand left by the earl before leaving, would never lose to a remnant of the Northland War that had retreated, but the result was that Io City was broken, and the western nobles suffered heavy losses.

Through a war, the Violet royal family successfully completed the division of the local power in the west.

Of course, if the nobles can defeat the trolls.

Once they have defeated the trolls, then for any reason, anything that "defended the dignity of the violet" and "defeated the invaders" can be rewarded with titles and wealth by the violet royal family.

And Wang Xiaotian absolutely believes that there must be a backhand of the Violet royal family in the Maple Leaf Fortress, who can definitely defeat the troll army.

After planning for so long, I believe that the Violet royal family definitely has the strength to complete this political split.

Wang Xiaotian can analyze the things, I believe that the nobles here are not stupid, and they should be able to guess eight or nine.

Then this battle is a proper battle to grab credit, because, Violet will never let them suffer afterwards, otherwise the credibility of the Violet royal family will be lost, and the entire western aristocracy will be twisted together to resist the Violet royal family.

After all, a central force that goes back on its word will never be accepted by the local forces.
