Chapter 105: Plans of All Parties (1)
News of Wes Pars' arrival in Erdos spread throughout the Western Province in an instant.
The western province here is not the northern region controlled by Erdos, but the entire western region, including the southern part of the city of Boer.
His arrival was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples. And underneath these ripples, the undercurrents of large and small whirlpools are beginning to stir. Wes didn't expect his trip to spread out so quickly, in addition to the promotion of Earl Andy Adams in the north, it is estimated that there are also some southern noble spies with ulterior motives.
In Erdos, thanks to the arrival of Wes Pars, a grand banquet was held as scheduled.
At the banquet, the aristocratic sons and brothers from Magnolia showed good and noble temperament one by one, and the ancient and elegant aristocratic etiquette and demeanor made the ladies and ladies of Erdos exclaim. All the generals of the private army indulged in this laughter, and the exclamations and admiration of those noble ladies made them as sweet as honey. In the joyful atmosphere, these young nobles from Magnolia were greatly satisfied, and even their impression of Erdos was improved a lot.
These young nobles, although they were also nobles in Magnoria, could not be the protagonists of the banquet in the long history of the royal capital, and were sought after by countless nobles. That kind of indescribable pleasure made these young guys experience the joy of power, and the dissatisfaction and resentment of coming to the west dissipated a lot.
In the center of the banquet.
Wes, dressed in a splendid robe, is chatting and laughing with Andy Adams, the owner of Erdos, while a pot-bellied Hart licks his face and toasts them. Wes took a sip of red wine and said with a smile: "Count Andy, you really have a heart for this grand banquet. ”
"Where, where," Count Andy said politely, for this count who dared to lead his troops to cut off Vitan's back road and hold a territory, he didn't have much respect for this prince to tell the truth.
"I've heard that Erdos used to be the center of the West, and there was a constant stream of traffic, but when I see it today, how can I feel a sense of ruin?" Wess said nonchalantly.
Earl Andy's eyes froze, he was in middle age when he was in full power, as the master of the Addams family, he was no stranger to this prince, some time ago, he asked his subordinates to go to Magnolia to attend the state banquet, just like this prince proposed the intention of cooperation. As an old nobleman, the Adams family is not only a feudal official, but also has a deep connection in the royal capital, and at that time, Earl Andy's proposal Weiss did not express anything, but his subordinate Joborg repeatedly embarrassed Wang Xiaotian, which has already shown an attitude.
The thought in his heart turned, but Andy's face was silent, he probably knew what the prince was thinking, and chuckled: "Some time ago, there were constant military disasters and man-made disasters, and Erdos was inevitably a little depressed, and when the situation stabilized, it would naturally turn around." ”
"Oh?
Weiss took a deep look at Count Andy, and said meaningfully: "But I heard that many northern merchants have fled to the south, and a large number of supplies south of Bofei City have begun to bypass the north. ”
This is already a naked provocation, the chuckle on Andy's face deliberately turned gloomy, and he said in a cold voice: "Your Highness Weiss, I don't know what you mean by this?!"
"Hehe, I heard that there is a fat Dick in the south, and his Boer City has been developing well recently!"
Wes shook the red wine, glanced at Andy, whose face was becoming more and more gloomy, and said in a low voice: "Lord Earl, you are the orthodox of the West, this Dick fat man, in my opinion, is just a rural nouveau riche, a guy who takes advantage of the turmoil in the country to steal territory!"
"This time I am going to serve as the lord of Baratan, with an army of 20,000 under my command!Coupled with my belief in the name of this prince and your prestige, some southern nobles who are intimidated by Dick Fat should be self-aware. When I arrive in Balatan, I'm in the south and you're in the north, and we'll ...... together."
Wes's words came to an abrupt halt, and he glanced at Andy deeply, a smile on his lips.
Andy listened to Wes's words, a sneer of disdain flashed on his gloomy face, and for a moment, Wes, who was immersed in his own fantasies, did not notice his abnormality. Looking at Wes, Andy's face pretended to be cloudy, and he asked hesitantly.
"What do you mean, Your Highness?"
"Cooperation!"
Wes spat out two words, and he talked eloquently with a picture of a bamboo in his chest.
"That Dick the Fat Man is but a country nouveau riche, and there are countless nobles in the South who are older than him, and must not be willing to be under his control. Lord Earl, you have the prestige of orthodoxy, and I have the support of the royal family, the two of us join forces, and the fat man Dick will turn to dust in an instant! Lord Earl, don't worry, I am determined to be the Grand Duke, after I pacify the West, you have deep connections in Magnolia, and with the soldiers of the West, once I inherit the Grand Duke, you will still be the Count of the West!"
I have to say, Wes is very eloquent.
He analyzed Wang Xiaotian's situation and put the advantages of his royal family on the table. Together with Andy Adams, they will surely defeat the forces of Boer City in one fell swoop. Then, he also made a guarantee that he only wanted the position of Grand Duke, and it was not uncommon to have an acre and three points of land in the west, so that Andy could feel at ease.
And he doesn't care whether Andy cooperates or not, because Wes is confident that Andy has no choice, once Andy refuses, it will push him to Wang Xiaotian's side, and when the time comes, it is not certain whether his northern Erdos can be kept or not.
Earl Andy listened to Wes's words, and seemed to be moved, and the look of wanting to speak and being ashamed to refuse made Wes more confident.
"Okay, Your Highness Wes, once you send troops in Balatan, I promise that when the time comes, I will definitely crush Bophy City, so that Dick's fat man will not be able to respond to the north and south!" Andy pretended to hesitate, and finally made up his mind.
Wes couldn't help but laugh when he heard Andy's promise, looking very proud.
And Hart on the side saw that the conversation between the two was almost over, and immediately came up to flatter, and all kinds of sycophants were patted up, what "Violet will be unified for thousands of generations" made Wes laugh more and more happily.
Everyone raised their glasses, and the banquet continued, and at the staggered banquet, from Weiss downwards, everyone smiled and laughed, and there was no sense of tension that the big war was about to be seen.
Earl Andy stood aside with a smile on his face, taking a leisurely sip of red wine, Hart on one side still had the signature flattering smile on his face, but inadvertently, he glanced at Wes with a hint of gleam in his eyes.
