"It's too much!!"

West V slapped the table heavily, his face pale, and in front of him, everyone was silent.

"On the front line, someone dares to do such a rebellious act, it's just too deceitful!"

Listening to His Majesty's complaints in front of him, everyone in the audience didn't say much. In fact, as early as the day after the incident, the Mobius family received a report about the incident. And after getting the news of the total annihilation of his troops, the patriarch of the Mobis family was even more furious, and the old man, who was nearly 100 years old, even rushed into the palace like this, asking His Majesty the King to give him an explanation on the spot. The other party's reason is very clear -- we have always been loyal to the country, and we have never had the slightest selfishness. At this time, in response to the royal family's call, he specially sent the elite troops of the family (which is really true) to the red fortress to resist the foreign enemy, but the foreign enemy did not enter, but was tragically poisoned by his own people. Please also ask Your Majesty to investigate this matter and give yourself justice.

For the words of this family patriarch, of course, West V did not dare to slack off, not to mention. He was also annoyed in his heart. After all, the idea of this aristocratic alliance was his own, and he still thought that these nobles would compete for some energy, and he would be able to be a little wiser. As a result, there are problems within the coalition forces. And it's not a small problem, according to intelligence, this time Mobis and his family lost a total of thousands of people, and the bones of the bombed people were gone, and they couldn't even see the shadow. Moreover, these attacks did not come from the Sith Empire, but from within the aristocratic coalition, which was undoubtedly a slap in the face to West V!

"Now that you all know the situation, what are you going to do with this daring maniac?!"

Dispose?

Hearing His Majesty's words, everyone in the audience was shocked, but they also got information from all sides, and further confirmed that the other party had knights! And it was also a dragon knight, more than a dozen dragon knights?!

What to do with them?

Hearing the king's words, everyone couldn't help but think for a moment that there was something wrong with their ears and how to deal with it? Although it is said that the people of the Mobius family are dead, it is still not clear who the other party is. There is simply no evidence. It is impossible to count on the aristocratic coalition on the front line, and when they sent people to investigate before, those guys all hummed haha, and they all deduced that they didn't know and didn't know, and they were afraid of offending each other and ending up with the same fate as the Mobis family. Of course, these people really didn't see anything. At that time, as soon as the inexplicable and terrifying dragon power was released, not only the brains of the members of the Mobius family were short-circuited, but the other families were not much better. Naturally, he was in no mood to pay attention to who was sitting on the dragon's back. Although it is possible to speculate on whose subordinates these dragon knights are based on some signs afterwards, this is just speculation after all, and there is no basis for it.

However, for the Mobius family, they don't even need proof. After all, the Mobis family has provided the empire with mage talents for so many years, and its influence should not be underestimated. Even if there is no evidence, as long as there is a suspect, they can be convicted.

But right now, everyone is feeling very embarrassed.

The information fed back from various channels can almost confirm that the other party does have knight-level strength, which is not false. After all, a person who can use a dragon as a mount does not think twice except for a knight. Even the Mage Guild doesn't have the courage to do so. Although they also have a griffon army called the Sky Guard. But after all, it was just a demonic beast domesticated through magic, and it was still incomparable to a higher creature like a dragon.

Originally, this should be good news, although there is still a gap between knights and talented knights, but everyone is not a knight after all, and they have not reached that realm, and they can't experience and understand it personally. So for them, the more people they have, the easier it is to hold the line. If the opponent really has a dozen dragon knights, then it is very likely that they can repel the attack of the Sith Empire. After all, the Sith Empire also only has four gifted knights, and the intelligence does not indicate whether they have knightly talents. Of course, the number of high-level swordsmen is much higher than that of other countries, but in the eyes of everyone, no matter how many high-level swordsmen there are, they can't be compared with knights after all.

But now, they are very embarrassed, after all, this matter is indeed a challenge to the current political bottom line, and the Mobis family is not the kind of small family that can be easily shirked, but one of the great nobles who have influence all over the kingdom. If they can't be given a satisfactory explanation, then it's safe to say that there will be problems within the kingdom!

However, the question is how to give them a satisfactory explanation? To catch the murderer and kill them? Not to mention whether it would be a pity to kill these top talents, who in the entire kingdom can beat them?

So, for a while, everyone was entangled. This dilemma, they have no way to make a decision, one side has great strength, the other side has strong influence, but these two sides are on the right side. Although according to intelligence, the other party does not have a huge foundation like the Mobius family. But the problem is, he has more than a dozen dragon knights, and these terrifying powers are not exactly what each family wants to pursue to expand their sphere of influence?

Moreover, the other party was so unsympathetic and completely destroyed the entire Morbis family's camp, this is definitely not an ordinary aristocratic war, and being able to do this can only show that the two sides have some kind of deep hatred. The Mobius family, everyone still understands. This family also has many enemies in the country, but they know how to observe words and feelings, and they rely on the royal family, so there has been no big mess. But it is certain that there are certainly not a few people who hate this family. And if it's a personal vendetta, they're even more reluctant to get involved.

"Why, why doesn't anyone speak?"

Seeing that the courtiers in front of him bowed their heads and pretended to be dumb one by one, West V became more and more dissatisfied.

"Even a small noble lord dares to be so bold, isn't this deceiving no one in my country?!"

Frankly speaking, Your Majesty, there is really no one in the country......... Hearing the king's roar, the nobles below shook their heads and sighed one by one, these people are not stupid, and they can sit in this position now, naturally with good judgment and rich experience. In any case, since the other party is willing to appear in the Red Fortress and has not done anything to the army, then it means that the other party is at least on his side. Moreover, the current situation is critical, although the Kingdom of West is full of confidence inside, in fact, many people know that this is simply talking nonsense with their eyes open, after all, West's military strength is actually about the same as that of Orlut. If the other party can be killed by the Sith Empire like chopping melons and vegetables, then he will definitely not be much better. Even if we try to train and build up our armaments right now, we will be able to do a limited job. Right now, with such a powerful boost, it's naturally something to celebrate.

However, the Mobius family is no less likely to be messed with, and court mages are also unobtainable in the upcoming battle. Although it is natural that the court mages are loyal to the royal family rather than the Mobius family (which is also natural), they still have some feelings for the Mobius family in their hearts. If this matter is not handled properly, then there may be problems within the court mage.

If it is said that West V is in a dilemma, then everyone may dare to offer ideas and discuss it together. But now it seems that His Majesty is very dissatisfied with the young nobleman who is far away in the Red Fortress, and even wants to kill him. It's not easy for everyone to speak, after all, once they say something at this time, it's easy to get into trouble for themselves.

"Duke Barron, come on!"

Seeing that no one answered, West V was also annoyed in his heart, and he didn't expect that there would be so many people who disagreed with him, so he had to speak in person.

"I don't have any good ideas, Your Majesty, after all, I am not a Celtic general, and I have not witnessed the situation. ”

Duke Barron, of course, was not stupid either, and immediately changed the subject.

"I think that General Celtic is the most vocal in this matter. ”

Hearing this, West V was even more dissatisfied. In fact, he had already made contact with Celtic early in the morning. At that time, West V also thought that if something like this happened on his own turf, Celtic would definitely make a decision that satisfied him. What he didn't expect was that Celtic said that he would not make any comments or opinions on this matter on the grounds that "this is a dispute between nobles" and "it does not involve the internal operation of the fortress". This made Wester V almost crooked his mouth, but even so, he did not doubt the general's loyalty, but he hated the young nobleman more and more.

“.................. You all have no opinion?"

West V's gaze swept over everyone, but no one spoke, and then, he could only snort helplessly, and then waved his hand.

"Go down, go down!!"

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

Upon hearing this order, most of them immediately received amnesty and quickly left, but the Duke of Barron, General Ashur, remained. Along with them was one more person - that was the administrator of the court mages, Master Larry Bod. After everyone left, Asher and Barron also looked at the old mage with a hint of strange eyes. In fact, since the beginning of the meeting, the old mage had been sleeping with his eyes closed, as if the matter under discussion had nothing to do with him. However, you must know that he should be the one who cares the most about it in the first place. Barron and Asher can be said to have no special connection, but the court mages are all under the management of Larry Bode's ** master, shouldn't he make a statement or something?

"Alright, now we can get down to business. ”

This time, West V also reluctantly suppressed his anger, and from the reaction of the nobles just now, he also saw that many people did not support his decision. Therefore, as a ruler, it is also very necessary to change the means and attitude once in a while.

"In any case, this matter has had a very bad impact on us, is there nothing we can do to solve this matter?"

"The strength of the other party is indeed strong, Your Majesty. ”

Without those troublesome guys, Barron spoke much more directly.

"Frankly, not only do we have no way to move them now, but we even have to rely on them to defend the Red Fortress, it's as simple as that. No matter what we want to do, I am afraid that we will not be able to cause substantial impact and loss to that young man. First, we don't have the ability, and second, we don't have the energy. ”

"Indeed, Your Majesty. ”

Asher also nodded slightly, agreeing with Duke Barron's words.

"But, on the Morbius family's side, we have to give him an explanation!"

Although West V was talking to the two of them, his eyes were looking at Larry Bod, who was standing next to him, his eyes closed.

"Larry, what is your opinion?"

"My opinion?"

Hearing this, the old man finally opened his eyes, however, his face was very calm.

"Your Majesty, you won't want to know my opinion, so I won't say it. ”

"Let's talk about it. ”

Hearing Larry Bode's aqueduct, West V's face was already a little bad, but he spoke anyway.

"We need your opinion as a court mage. ”

“............... Honestly, it's not going to be what you'd like, but I'm going to say it anyway......... Compared to that man, the Mobius family is nothing at all. ”

Hearing this, the three people, including the king, all opened their eyes in surprise, and looked at this court ** master in disbelief, although they had a hunch, but they didn't expect that this court ** master would give up the Mobis family so completely?

"But this ............"

"The court mages serve the royal family, not the Morbius family. Also, although it will cause a lot of trouble, I think it is still within the range of the more serious consequences than the more serious consequences. ”

"More serious consequences?"

The three of them couldn't help but wonder if this ** division was alarmist at the moment, and what other consequences could be more serious than this? However, Larry Bode was obviously unwilling to say any more. He closed his mouth, once again showing the same indifference as before. And the three of them no longer dwelled on this matter, but began the next discussion.

"But, no matter what, we have to send a clear signal to each other, that is, this is the Kingdom of West, and it is the royal family that governs. And as citizens, no matter how powerful they are, they must serve the country!"

With that, West V slammed the table hard.

"We must not afford to lose the first opportunity! Remember, everyone, the initiative must be in our hands. So, I have a solution. ”

“？”

Hearing this, the rest of the people couldn't help but look at their king in surprise, not knowing what good ideas he could come up with. West V, on the other hand, was already smiling confidently.

"Although the young nobleman is very powerful, he also needs a foundation after all! We all know that his territory is the Twilight Forest. So............... I'm going to send people there, supervise the movement there, and restrict it!"

"Regulation?"

Hearing this, both Barron and Asher were a little surprised.

"Your Majesty, you do this......... This ............"

"It's fine, I've thought about it. ”

But this time, West V waved his hand confidently and interrupted the two.

"Now that the Mobius family has been identified, then, of course, in order to investigate, we must send someone to his territory. Hum...... What about knights? The people around him are knights, does it mean that everyone in his territory is knights? Don't forget, this is the territory of our kingdom of West! We have the right to govern our own territory and our people!"

"But this ............"

"I think this plan works. ”

Barron frowned, instinctively uneasy. But Asher nodded gloomily.

"Your Majesty, I have already investigated. The current Twilight Forest is a completely empty shell, and there is no one in charge of managing the affairs of the territory within the territory, but it is only temporarily represented by the mayor of the original Twilight Town. And the Twilight Castle, after the lord left, immediately announced that it was closed to the outside world, and now basically no longer manages the affairs of the Twilight Forest. Moreover, it seems that the Bird family does not intend to send someone to manage it on their behalf. I think it's a good time. ”

"But, Your Majesty, if you do this, what if that young man receives the news that he is likely to be threatened at the cost of withdrawing from the fortress defense battle?"

Barron is clearly not that confident in this plan.

"Don't worry about that. ”

West V also seems to have an idea at this moment.

"I'll give this order after the battle with the Sith Empire begins. After all, in the fierce battle, I'm afraid he can't get out if he wants to!"

“...........................”

The Duke of Barron opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything more, he always felt that this plan was dangerous, but now, West V insisted on going his own way, and he knew that he could not persuade him. So, in the end, he didn't say anything and kept his mouth shut.

"So, it's decided!"

Seeing that there was no objection, West V's mood obviously improved a lot, and he quickly made a decision. Seeing that there was nothing else to do, everyone could only say goodbye, and then turn away.

"Master Larry Bod. ”

Walking out of the room and into the spacious corridor, Duke Barron couldn't help but walk to the ** division next to him with some worry.

"Excuse me, what do you think of this plan of His Majesty?"

"I don't agree with him. ”

Larry Bodé is still saying that.

"This will bring disaster to the kingdom. ”

"Are you a little too alarmist?

On the other hand, Asher clearly disagrees with this judgment.

"No matter how powerful the other party is, after all, it is only a few people, how can they oppose our kingdom? As for the disaster, I don't think it can be talked about. ”

"So I said, here's my idea. ”

At this, a wry smile appeared on Larry Bod's old face, and then, he nodded at the two of them, and then turned to leave. And looking at his back, Barron also sighed. Instead, Ashur snorted dissatisfiedly.

"What do you think, Duke of Barron, I always feel that our court master seems to be particularly enthusiastic about the young nobleman he has never even met. ”

"I don't know. ”

Looking at the old man's back, Barron didn't know for a moment what a heavy burden he had carried for the kingdom! But now? What are you thinking? Why did you make such a judgment?

"I don't know. ”

Thinking of this, Barron let out a long sigh and shook his head with a wry smile.

"Maybe it's because I'm getting older, and I'm not able to keep up with the pace now......... Frankly speaking, I think that young man's background is really mysterious, how can a person hide his strength for so long? Even if it is the Sith Empire, can't it?"

"I also think there's something wrong with that. ”

Asher nodded slightly.

"But, I think I'll look into it. ”

"You're going to the Twilight Forest?"

Hearing this, Barron was a little surprised.

"And what about the intelligence work of the Sith Empire?"

"I won't go personally, but I'll send my henchmen to investigate. ”

Asher sneered.

"No matter what kind of secrets are hidden in that hellish place, I think I can dig them out. At that time, this young nobleman will no longer be so proud. ”
