Andy Adams looked at the two secret letters from Magnolia in his hand with some depression. As the Earl of the West, the Addams family has always been one of the few Violets in the entire world.

The Addams family had been in charge of the lands of the West for a few years, when orcs were still rampant, and every man of the Addams family had to take up arms and go to war every autumn to defend the only food they had. The name of the Guardian of the Westside is not just words.

The barren West could not produce so much food, and the civilians of the West planted seeds and begged the gods for protection in order to harvest a handful of food to feed their families, and in that gray era, the Addams family would not even collect too much tax, and people continued to sing the praises of the kindness and bravery of the Addams family even when they were wearing sackcloth and struggling in the mud.

It was the time when Adams was at his weakest, and it was also the time when he was at his strongest.

"Heroic Addams" is a name that the Addams family has always circulated in aristocratic circles.

I don't know when the western part of the country opened the door to the great wilderness, and in the face of such a crisis-ridden wilderness, the people in the west developed the great wilderness with great enthusiasm, and countless riches rolled in. And sometimes, there are not a few people who covet wealth.

The valiant Adams began to take up arms to protect his fortune.

From the initial armed struggle to the final power confrontation, the Addams family has changed from generation to generation, and I don't know when "cunning Adams" has become another synonym for them.

Since the beginning of the gray era, in order to fight against the orcs in the Great Wilderness, the Addams family has constantly asked Magnolia for help, in order to make the Addams family willingly protect the west, they have married, supported *** Yi, and sent blood to the Addams family little by little, so that they can continue to protect the violet barrier in the west.

Until the era of peace.

Constant blood transfusions deepened the intertwining between the Adams family and the Magnolia aristocracy, and it is they who have made the Addams family what it is today.

"The Northland Grand Duchess Withdraws from the Army, and the Parliament Bill ......"

Muttering to his mouth, Count Andy rubbed his forehead a little tiredly. The excessive worries of this time have made the Earl, the power of the West, a little tired.

The Archduchess of the Northland is what many nobles call Diana in private, and she has the support of almost all the nobles in the Northland in the name of orthodoxy, and to some extent she is indeed the Archduchess of the Northland.

Recently.

Count Andy had just announced sanctions against the Ofre rebellion, and then Diana began to sail back with the Northland army, the intention of which was self-evident, it was against him.

After being entangled with the old duke for most of his life, until the invasion of Vitan, Count Andy fell into passivity step by step, and the current situation in the northwest is already very bad for him.

The news of Wang Xiaotian's seizure of White Horse City is not blocked, and Andy is well aware that his base camp is currently facing a huge crisis.

............

Just as Count Andy is faced with this crisis, a mysterious visitor braves the snow to arrive in Erdos.

Inside Andy's Mansion in Erdos.

In a room full of artistic elegance, Andy is sitting in front of the fireplace with a red and black blanket like a dying old man, and the huge chair envelops his whole body. The warmth of the fireplace, and the glass of wine in his hand, Andy sat quietly with his eyebrows bowed, which made him look like a happy rich man.

Opposite him.

A mysterious man in a linen robe couldn't see his face clearly, he was sitting on another chair, he looked at Count Andy who behaved like this, and chuckled, not heavy in his laughter, but with a hint of pleasure, "Have you thought about it?"

Andy didn't see a hint of sharpness in his eyes, the hero who had narrowly defeated Vitan was like a kind businessman, his eyelids were half-open, and he said in a lazy tone, "Do I still have a choice?" ”

Although the sentence he spoke was a question sentence, the tone was a helpless affirmative tone.

The linen-robed man's face was obscured by his broad hood, and the expression on his face could not be seen clearly, but it was conceivable that the face in his shadow must have raised a hint of pleasure at the corners of his mouth.

He nodded, and said in a very calm tone: "You are a hero, you saved the entire Violet, in the recent war, it was you who defeated Vitan's army alone, and before that, your Northland Province has been in a disadvantageous position. ”

"Sometimes heroes are tragic, they tend to put in the hardest work, take on the most dangerous tasks, but in the end it is the people who sit behind and watch coldly. I feel sorry for you!"

"Huh. ”

Andy didn't show his majesty as before, he just smiled, and no matter how nice the linen robes said, he didn't have much expression. Perhaps he had already made a decision in his psyche.

"Ahem, my lord, you'll be glad you decided today. The linen-robed man finally said awkwardly.

Andy lifted his eyelids and glanced at him, the kind of look he looked at at the ants at the top of the food chain, even though he sat in his chair, like an old man, but the momentum that emanated from the depths of his eyes was so real.

Immediately, he lowered his eyelids again, as if the terrifying look just now was not from him.

"White Horse City, Winter Night City, Castle of Terror...... By the time the official grain of the seventeen territories has been collected, the Baier Fort side will be ready to act at any time. ”

As Andy slowly reported the names of the territories one by one, the linen-robed man in front of him couldn't stop nodding his head, until Andy finished speaking, almost half of the official grain in the western aristocratic territory had been collected by him.

"What about the people's grain?"

The linen-robed man asked in a low voice, his tone was very cold, and his gesture was quiet, full of ruthless momentum.

Andy didn't pay attention to him, he didn't even lift his eyelids, like a sleeping old man sitting quietly in a chair.

"Lord Andy!"

The linen-robed man's tone raised a little, as if he was dissatisfied with Andy's attitude.

The silent burning fireplace shone with an orange glow, and the light passed through Andy's body, casting a long cast on the wall of him and the chair, and the sleeping Earl was like a giant beast in this room.

Andy didn't answer the hemp man.

But silence is the best answer.

Although the cunning Adams is a compliment to the conspiracy, Andy Adams still has heroic blood in his body in essence. Although the tiger is trapped in Pingyang, it will be very embarrassing, but the tiger is a tiger after all, and when it roars, the whole world must listen to its roar.
