Early in the morning, the pilgrimage meeting began early. Audrey tried to restrain herself from hitting Hatche, thinking about how to finish it quickly and go back to sleep beautifully.

Boris seemed unfazed and couldn't seem to see that he wouldn't be making any moves today. But Wayne understands a truth, biting dogs don't bark.

And Coren wanted to try to show that Boris was as indifferent as he was, but he could still find a little pride and joy in his face. The rest of the dukes are about the same.

Duke Langton and Duke Jonathan were depressed, after all, the situation on the Eastern Front was tight, and they were the ones who were most affected. That's a fight on their doorstep.

Upon entering the main hall, the first thing is a set of cumbersome etiquette. It's like a handshake before a football match, but it doesn't counteract the hostility between the two sides.

Coren said first.

"Your Majesty, Count Nils imprisoned several grain merchants yesterday for no reason, and such unscrupulous actions may cause panic in the imperial capital. ”

Audrey came to her senses as soon as she heard it, and the wood actually did this yesterday?

Wayne retorted.

"In the current crisis, all the Rune people should be united, but these people take the opportunity to raise prices and the crime is not punishable, and it is good to imprison them. ”

"Count Niels, these merchants have raised their prices. But it's their duty to make money, and they don't force people to buy it. ”

"These merchants sell grain for four gold riyals, and how many people in the imperial capital can afford it, isn't this with the intention of starving the people to death?"

"Count Nils, what does the life of the untouchables matter to us, what we need to do is to maintain order, not to overflow with more compassion. ”

When Coren said this, there didn't seem to be anything wrong with it. They were nobles and natural rulers, and untouchables were wheat in the heavens and the earth, which cut a stubble and grew it again in a year. Why do you care so much? This is the consensus of all the nobles of Rune.

Wayne knew that he couldn't talk to this group about what water could carry and sink a boat. It is futile to indoctrinate a group of people whose minds have long been ossified.

"Count Cologne, these merchants are also pariahs. I caught it, and as for what I said to disrupt the order, it didn't exist at all. We are the aristocracy, we are the order. ”

Audrey secretly applauded Wayne, worthy of the man she fancied, and this retort made Old Man Colon speechless.

Attacking the shield of the son with the spear of the son, Wayne refuted Cologne's words with the same untouchable thoughts. Naturally, Coren couldn't find a flaw.

Boris said at this time.

"Count Nils, if you can't see these people, it's okay to lock them up. But that doesn't change anything, their property will be inherited by their families, and I don't think he's going to lower the price of food. I wonder if Count Nils did this in vain?"

Boris was even more vicious, directly abandoning the businessmen who worked for him. It is estimated that if this spreads, I don't know how many people will be willing to obey his command.

But to be honest, the blow did hit Wayne's seven inches.

Wayne couldn't find the words to fight back for a while.

Boris continued.

"The matter of food can be put aside, and we can't ignore the war situation on the Eastern Front. Now that the coalition forces have withdrawn from the Bismarck Mountains and the Lannau River to the line of Stone Mountain City and the Wind Knights, we have directly lost nearly 100,000 bagolis. ”

Jonathan also added.

"The Iron Fist Army also did not go to the Eastern Front to support. ”

It seemed to blame Wayne for the fact that the situation was completely different from what he had anticipated.

Wayne knew that sooner or later these nobles would have to talk about the situation on the Eastern Front, and according to his assumptions, with the support of the Iron Fist. The eastern front could be defended, but the Iron Fist intended to occupy a piece of Ortunno territory in the northwest, which was of course a good thing for Rune, who lacked coal mines. Wayne certainly can't object.

"It is true that the failure of the Iron Fist to support the Eastern Front led to the now massive rout on the Eastern Front. But Duke Jonathan, I don't think this kind of war of hundreds of thousands of people can be judged by a momentary victory. And Nolan will continue to send equipment to the Eastern Front, which is only a temporary failure. ”

"I'm afraid Count Nils is not your territory, so you can say that. ”

Langton went on to add.

"There is no danger to defend from Stone Mountain City to the Wind Knights, and the number of Rune coalition forces is not superior. And how much equipment can Nolan provide? The combined forces of the Rune coalition are 250,000. Will Nolan be able to come up with that much equipment in a short period of time?"

"Duke Jonathan, it's true that it's not my territory, but I'm a Rune first and foremost! I won't lose my land in vain! And Stone Mountain City and the Wind Knight Territory are indeed not in danger, but we have to see the other side. The terrain was flat, making it ideal for cavalry, and the Iron Shield Legion's cavalry was the best in Rune. With the coordination of artillery, Ortuno and the church will suffer here!"

"No, I think it's better to send the Dragon's Breath Legion, so that at least we are not much different from the enemy in terms of numbers. ”

"No, now that there is a shortage of manpower, and the Dragon Breath Legion is sent away, then there will be a mess near the imperial capital. ”

"So Count Nils is saying that he can give up a large area of land in Rune to keep this group of untouchables alive?"

Audrey hurriedly stopped.

"Shut up, I'm in power now, or are you guys?"

Everyone agreed in unison.

"It's Your Majesty Audrey. ”

"Well, then listen to me. Marshall was one of the best players in Rune, and my father praised him. The enemy came prepared this time, and a defeat is nothing. And judging by the battle reports from the front, the enemy's losses were greater than ours. This shows that we still have hope of victory, but we are just attacked by the Holy Armor Army. So we should bless the Marshall with the message. ”

Audrey has learned a lot in the past few days. There is no clear support for Wayne, but the opinion is not much different from Wayne. To put it mildly.

Of course, everyone present also heard it.

Audrey can see that some people are not convinced, but who will help her husband if she doesn't help?

Seeing that the time was almost up, Koren decided to use a killer strategy.

"Your Majesty Audrey, I remember when you said that you were acting as the ruler and helping the future prince govern Rune. ”

Audrey furrowed her brows, apparently Colin had set up a trap for her to drill into. But she said this, and this is also the reason why she is in power.

"Yes, I said that. Does the Count of Cologne have any objections?"

Audrey said in a reproachful tone, now trying to press Koren from the momentum. But apparently it is useless. Although Keren is still a little immature in the imperial capital, he has also experienced a lot of ups and downs in the family territory. Apparently not something Audrey could scare.
