"Tiberius, do you mean you want me to take the giant wood city into your pocket?" Meng Fan said as he chewed the sweet jujube cake in his mouth. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Lord Claude, Coldwater City, Giant Wood City, and Black Rock City are three small cities in the northeast of the Gilgian Kingdom, Giant Wood City suffered serious damage when the Bretan army invaded, the Bretan people not only killed the Lord of Giant Wood City, Rayleigh's family, but also killed all the territory soldiers in the city, and now Reilly's nephew Mitre has taken over the position of Lord of Giant Wood City, Mitre is young, and he is a noble child who is greedy for pleasure, he is not good at managing the affairs of the territory, and he can't clean up the mess of the Giant Wood City territory. Tiberius replied.

"Tiberius, you've gathered a lot of information. Meng Fan smiled and said, "This is what subordinates should do." Tiberius said calmly.

"Tiberius, Simmons, they are going to kill their lord, and if something happens to the lord over there in Giant Wood City at this time, I'm afraid everyone will suspect that I was instigated behind my back. Meng Fan took a bite of the sweet jujube cake in his hand and said.

"Lord Claude, for Giant Wood City, we don't need to take Simmons's rough way, Giant Wood City has been the most affected in the war, the people in the city have been looted, all the soldiers in the territory have been killed, the shops and food in the city have been swept away, and now Lord Mitre of Giant Wood City is worried about these things, Lord Claude, I think we in Black Rock City can help this young Mitre Lord. Tiberius said with a narrowing of his eyes.

"Tiberius, are you telling me to lend money to Jumu City?" Meng Fan said, "Hehe, Lord Claude is really wise and wise, and he understands what his subordinates have to say at once. Tiberius laughed.

"Lord Claude, we will control Giant Wood City financially, and when Mitre finds himself unable to repay Blackstone City's debts on time, Giant Wood City will be in your pocket, Lord Claude. ”

After listening to Tiberius's words, Meng Fan silently ate a few bites of sweet jujube cake, and when Meng Fan finished eating the sweet jujube cake in his hand, "Lord Claude, I don't know what you think?" asked the brown-haired man sitting in front of him.

"Hehe..." Meng Fan looked up and laughed, "Tiberius, I've already eaten several pieces of sweet jujube cake, is this last piece still on the plate?" Meng Fan said as he reached out and picked up the last piece of sweet and fluffy sweet jujube cake from the plate.

――――――――――――――

A month later, the royal capital of Gilgia, Cangyun City.

"Your Majesty, twenty days ago, Kalia Chase Chess, the lord of Coldwater City in the northeast of the kingdom, was killed by a gang of bandits while he was out of the city to inspect his territory..."

"Bandits?" Landry, who was sitting alone at the table, looked up, "As a lord, didn't Kalia go on patrol with a guard?"

"It is said that Kalia took a hundred territorial soldiers on a trip, but that gang of bandits was so numerous that they not only killed Kalia, the lord of Coldwater City, but also spared not a hundred soldiers. Halson replied.

"Are the bandits in Coldwater City territory so fierce?" Putting down the wine glass in his hand, Landry looked at Prime Minister Halson standing in front of him.

"Your Majesty, four months ago, Lieton, the general of the Kingdom of Bretan, led an army of 100,000 troops to invade from the northeast of the kingdom, and Lieton captured the three cities of Giant Wood City, Cold Water City, and Black Rock City. Halson whispered.

"The Brettans..." A flash of fire flashed in Landry's eyes, and Halsen knew that the king of Gilgias in front of him hated the Brettans very much.

Picking up the wine glass on the table, Landry poured it into his mouth hard, "Kalia is dead, so is there a suitable candidate in his family to be the lord?" the king asked.

"Your Majesty, Kalia does have several sons, but..." Halson hesitated, "Your Majesty, this is a petition written by several nobles of certain status in Coldwater City, and these nobles of Coldwater City ask Your Majesty to let Claude Kuru, the Lord of Blackstone City, also serve as the Lord of Coldwater City. Halson handed over a petition with his fingerprints on it.

Landry was slightly surprised to take the petition handed by Prime Minister Halson, "Your Majesty, this petition says that the former lord of Coldwater City, Kalia, and the Chase family, to which he belongs, were arrogant and domineering in Coldwater City, wantonly invaded the property of the people, and were indifferent to the life and death of the people in the territory. Halson said from the side.

"Claude is already the Lord of Blackstone City, and these nobles in Coldwater City are still willing to accept him as the Lord of Coldwater City?" King Landry said as he looked at the petition.

"Your Majesty, as the lord of Coldwater City, Kalia Chase did not die when the Bretans invaded, but let the territorial army open the city and surrender, and the Bretans robbed the people of the food in the city, and Kalia did not know it, and the minister thought that it was appropriate to deprive the Chase family of the lordship of the inheritance, and if the people of the Chase family could not succeed to the lord of Coldwater City, then it would be okay to follow the request of these nobles. Halson replied.

"Halson, how did Claude behave after he became Lord of Blackstone City?" King Landry put down the petition in his hand and asked, "Your Majesty, Claude Kuru is a very talented person, and Your Majesty, you also know that in the first battle of the Red Flame Plains, Claude came up with a plan to attack the Brettan army by water, and defeated the commander of the Bretan army, Voncis Varuan, who is known as the 'undefeated god of war'.

After serving as Lord of Blackstone, Claude successfully solved the problem of resettlement of thousands of refugees in the city, and the people of Blackstone City were very satisfied with the performance of the new lord. Halson reported to the King what he had received about Blackstone.

After listening to the Prime Minister's report, Landry's fingers tapped lightly on the petition on the table a few times, "Kalia Chase chose Kaesong to surrender when Bretan's army invaded, and connived at the Bretan people to rob the people of food in the city, the Chase family has lost the right to inherit the lordship, Claude Kuru is very talented, since the people in Coldwater City want Claude to be their lord, then let Claude also serve as the lord of Coldwater City." Landry looked up at Prime Minister Halson.
