Chapter 147: Seeking Compassion and Making Trouble
Allen's sonorous words echoed through the hall, and the ministers involved in the parliament sat up straight, and the young minister's speech was to the point, but it was very powerful, although it was concise. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
He was right, that the current Nipur was indeed a child to be ravaged, as the Assyrian Iron Forest and the Flame Legion of your could testify, and that Nipur was vulnerable in comparison.
"Did you ever think about it when you came up with those whimsical plans?" Alan walked out from behind the table, "In the near future, when those cannibalistic lord soldiers come to the city, what are we going to do to defend Nippur?"
Old Hyde was stunned, and instead of answering Allen's question immediately, he loosened the folded collar that was tightening his neck and straightened the corners of his shirt unnaturally.
The young man in front of him was right, and although everyone in the hall knew that the guy was helping Kenny, he had made an excuse that he couldn't get rid of, and that excuse was almost unassailable, and if he still spoke, perhaps, it would make him a sinner in Nippur.
Parliament has returned to calm for the time being. Half an hour later, an old minister stood up.
"Your Excellency. The old Chancellor bowed slightly and looked at Kenny respectfully, "I agree with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, military development seems to be more urgent than the economy, and we should spend more gold on military supplies." β
"Marquis Leiden is right!" the other minister chimed in, "Nipur is known as the Devil's City not only because of its turbulent political situation, but also because we have an army unrivaled on the continent!"
"Are you singing the praises of the Horns? or..... Iron Hoof Legion?" Old Hyde turned his cannon fire to the minister who had just spoken.
"Everyone in this room can hear him! he's singing the praises of the Lord's Confederate Army!" Alan replied, glaring at Old Hyde.
Old Hyde turned his face to look at Allen, and tried to make his eyes look flat, but the slightly trembling red nose had already exposed the irrepressible anger in his heart.
"Old Hyde, you're all very good at what you've suggested!" Kenny stood up, "but these plans take time, but we have time now, and the first thing we need to do is to build an invincible army so that we can protect our well-cultivated Nippel!"
"Eligible ....."
"Lordβ"
A voice interrupted old Hyde's unspoken words. The guards in the temple raised their weapons, and when they saw that the man was blonde Aiden, they let their guard down and returned to their positions.
Aiden walked around old Hyde and walked up the steps to Kenny. "Lord. He whispered, "Captain Sersi has just arrested a few young men who were making trouble at the entrance of the bazaar for the sake of causing trouble, and now he is in prison. He asked me to ask you if you were going to interrogate them personally. β
Kenny moved his eyes and lowered his voice, "Cercy, isn't he guarding the bodies of those four guys with you? Why, no one has come to claim them yet?"
"Lord, you forgot, all the nobles were sent back to their fiefdoms by you. Aiden reminded, "Because of the council, Orlando and their families are coming to Nipur City..... It might take a little time, as Captain Sersi had mentioned in the morning, that the fiefdoms of the nobles were quite far from the city of Nippur. β
"Oh....." Kenny replied, then frowned, "Why did Sersi ask me to interrogate a few young men?
"They're all ordinary citizens, but they're a little weird..... Aiden lowered his voice, "Those guys provoked the Guards for no reason, and Captain Sersi saw that they were young and just expelled them, but after a while, they turned back and sent them to prison." β
"Provoking the Guard?" Kenny pinched his beard, looking puzzled.
At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves sounded from far to near outside the quiet hall, and a guard ran in anxiously, he did not stop, and came directly to the lord's seat.
The guards guarding the bottom of the steps stopped him, and Kenny waved his hand as the guard stepped up.
"My lord, Captain Sersi has asked me to report to you that he is going to execute those young men, and he is already on his way to the execution ground. β
"What?!" Kenny exclaimed, then lowered his voice, "Why? β
Captain Sersi said..... Those people are suspected of rebellion, and he begs you to go to prison. The Guards replied.
"Were you in prison at the time of the interrogation?" asked Kenny.
"Right next to Captain Sersi. β
"Tell me how Sersi judged them to be suspected of rebellion. Kenny leaned back in his chair and looked at the Guards.
"The interrogation process was so short that it wasn't even a trial. Captain Sersi just asked them why they were provoking the guards who were on duty, but no one answered, which angered Captain Sersi, and then they were dragged to the interrogation room, but before Captain Sersi could ask questions, the guys raised their arms and shouted, they said..... Say ....."
"What did you say?" Kenny asked, looking at the Guard, who was about to speak.
"Lord Patton is not dead..... They were the apostles sent by the god Namu....."
The words entered Kenny's ears, and his back unconsciously left his chair, tightening his cloak tightening.
His Royal Highness's ministers were silent, and Allen, who was next to the steps, also looked at him intently, he didn't show too much surprise, and his face was conceivable for a lord.
'You need to care more about it than you care about your wife's body'. That's what his father told him.
But the truth is, his heart feels like he has just encountered a stormy sea.
The bloated Barton had died in prison a short time ago, turned into a disgusting mess of strawberry jam, he had seen with his own eyes, and even remembered the guy's last words, he had asked Sersi to spare his daughter Bella, but now some people said he was still alive.
Are they lying? Or are they .....? Is Barton still alive? What about Taylor.....
A chill crept down his back up Kenny's neck, and he felt his scalp tingle.
Alan could see the horror in Kenny's heart, and even though he had hidden it well enough, the twinkling eyes couldn't fool him.
And so it is. Kenny slammed into the corner of the table as he got up, knocking over the silver wine glass on the table, spilling the crimson liquid on the table, and then hurried footsteps, and Alan stood up.
"This concludes today's council!"
Kenny hurried down the stairs and glanced at Allen, Aiden and the Guards followed, and the four of them hurried out of the Great Hall. (To be continued.) )
