Chapter 647 Pressure

Dylan understands that St. Ansen can't come to the drinking party suddenly for no reason, he must have heard the wind and rushed over, and he couldn't hide it in front of him, instead of sneaking around and hiding it, it was better to admit it openly, but it seemed that his father and himself were above board, and there was no intention of secretly colluding with the Wind Country.

"Envoy from the Wind Country?" St. Ansen narrowed his eyes, glanced around, and asked, "Which one?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shangguan Xiu walked out of the crowd with his hands behind his back, and said with a smile: "It's me!"

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of everyone present focused on him alone. Especially the clergy and the Holy See army led by St. Anson, their eyes swept around Shangguan Xiu's body, looking at him non-stop.

St. Anson stared at Shangguan Xiu for a long time, and then asked in a cold voice, "Who are you?"

"Fengguo, Shangguan Xiu!" Shangguan Xiu said calmly at Shang Saint Ansen's gaze.

After listening to the translation of a papal army, St. Ansen immediately narrowed his eyes and asked sharply, "Are you Shangguan Xiu?"

"That's right. Shangguan Xiu's tone was brisk, and his face replied lightly.

"Someone, take him down immediately!" St. Ansen suddenly raised the scepter in his hand and pointed it at Shangguan Xiu vigorously.

With his order, the Holy See soldiers standing on both sides drew their swords from their ribs and surrounded Shangguan Xiu together, and two other Holy See soldiers drew two spirit muskets from their backs, and the muzzles of the guns were aimed at Shangguan Xiu's chest. Kneel and beg for a hundred eyes to sing

Seeing this scene, Guangfang and the others' faces sank. People were on Shangguan Xiu's left and right, staring coldly at the Holy See army that rushed forward.

Seeing the tension between the two sides and the fierce battle about to break out, Scott's face was ugly, and he was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, not knowing what to do. Dylan suddenly raised his hand and shouted to the Holy See Army, "Wait a minute!"

St. Ansen's eyes turned, he looked at Dylan coldly, and asked in a condensed voice, "What does General Ward mean by this?

Dylan took a deep breath and said, "If the two countries are at war and don't kill the envoys, the Bishop shouldn't even understand this rule, right? Lord Shangguan is the envoy of the Wind Country, and the Bishop's desire to be rude to the envoy is really unwise and detrimental to the majesty of my Besa Country!"

His words made everyone present nod frequently, no matter what Shangguan Xiu's identity was, but after all, he was now the envoy of the Wind Country, and it was really rude to shout and kill the envoy, and his actions were no different from those of barbarians.

St. Anson glared at Dylan fiercely, but waved his scepter slightly at the surrounding Papal troops. Seeing this, the Holy See troops, who were about to rush to Shangguanxiu, retreated one after another, but the weapons that people showed did not take back. St. Anson looked at Shangguan Xiu without blinking, then at Scott, and asked, "Lord Duke, why did Shangguan Xiu suddenly visit Solan City?"

"This ......" While Scott was thinking about how to answer, Dylan interjected: "The Wind Army wants to pass near Solan City, and Lord Shangguan is afraid of causing misunderstanding between the two sides, so he personally came to visit Solan City!"

"Afraid of causing a misunderstanding?" St. Ansen almost laughed out loud and said, "The Wind Army invaded the territory of Besa and slaughtered the people of Besa, as enemies and enemies, what misunderstanding can exist between us and the enemy?"

He ignored Dylan, stared at Scott, and asked, "Lord Duke, how did you reply to Shangguan Xiu about this matter?"

"Uh, I'm ......" Scott's cold sweat was running down his head, and he didn't say a word for a long time.

Without waiting for him to finish his words, St. Ansen warned in a deep voice: "Lord Duke, I must remind you that from the standpoint of the Holy See, the Wind Army is a heretic, and from the standpoint of the country, the Wind Army is an enemy army, if you ignore the Wind Army and sit back and watch the Wind Army slip under your nose, it is not only treason, but also apostasy, what kind of fate will you end up with, I don't think you need me to say anything more!"

After speaking, he swept his gaze, glanced at Shangguan Xiu coldly, glared at Scott fiercely, and then, without stopping, flicked the sleeves of his robe, turned around and walked out. Two clergy, as well as a cadre of papal troops, followed him and left.

St. Ansson came and went faster, but now the others were gone, but the atmosphere of the party had changed completely, and the nobles who had been invited were sitting on pins and needles one by one, and at last people could not stay any longer, and came to Scott to say goodbye and go home.

The reason why people are in a hurry to leave is undoubtedly to make their position clear to the Holy See, and there is no intention of colluding with the popular people. Through the reactions of these nobles present, Shangguan Xiu also saw how influential the Holy See was in Besa.

At the critical moment, the authority of the bishop of the region was completely above the lord.

The originally lively and overcrowded drinking party became deserted in an instant, and in addition to Shangguan Xiu and other popular people, the only remaining Bessars were Scott and his family, as well as several henchmen and officials.

Scott's face was extremely ugly, he smiled awkwardly at Shangguan Xiu, rubbed his hands and said, "Lord Shangguan, the bishop's words are ......."

"The bishop's words are the bishop's opinion alone, and they do not represent the opinions of my father and us, let alone the opinions of the city-state of Solan!" Before Scott could finish speaking, Dylan suddenly interrupted.

In his opinion, St. Anssen is standing and talking without backache, and now it is the Solan city-state that is directly facing the army of the Wind Country, and it is the Solan City-State that is at odds with the Wind Army, and the first unlucky one is the Solan City-State, he St. Ansen can run and escape to the Pope's side, but how can the Solan City-State run? How can the people of the entire West Oron region run?

In any case, there is no need for the Solan city-state to fight to the death against the wind army for the sake of the Holy See and the city-state of Besa. Of course, the influence of the Holy See is indeed very large, and in this regard, the Huade family has to be concerned and need to act cautiously.

Shangguan Xiu looked at Scott, Dylan and the others quietly, and said: "What I want to say has been said, and the meaning I want to express is also very clear, as for what choice to make and which way to let the Solan city-state go, it depends on the will of Duke Huade." ”

"Yes, yes, yes......! I will definitely consider Lord Shangguan's proposal carefully!" Scott nodded with a smile.

Just looking at his expression and listening to the tone of his words, Shangguan Xiu understood that Scott began to waver again. Compared with Matt's introduction, Scott is a timid and cautious person, hesitant in trouble, and lacks the courage of a leader, compared to his son Dylan.

Dylan didn't know much about his father, he sighed secretly, and said to Shangguan Xiu: "Can Lord Shangguan stay in the city for one more day, tomorrow, Lord Father will give Lord Shangguan a clear reply!"

"That's great!" Shangguan Xiu nodded and smiled. Dylan tilted his head and said, "Matthew!"

"My subordinates are here!" said Matthew Quintou, the captain of the Paladin's Legion, and bowed to Dylan's chest.

Dylan instructed: "You take Lord Shangguan and his entourage to stay in the hotel, remember, be sure to send someone to protect Lord Shangguan's safety, if Lord Shangguan has a mistake in the city, you come to see me!"

"Yes, General!" Matthew still respected and respected this boss of the same age as himself, he bowed again, and then waved his hand politely to Shangguan Xiu and said, "Lord Shangguan, please!"

Shangguan Xiu nodded, took Guangfang, the Holy Maiden and others, and followed Matthew out of the main hall.

As soon as Shangguan Xiu left, Scott was like a deflated ball, his body was weak, and he almost sat on the ground, he spread his hands and said, "Now that Bishop St. Ansen is pressuring, how can we be good?"

Several confidant ministers were silent, and Dylan was also frowning, and for a while, he couldn't think of a good way to deal with it. The bishop's side can't be offended, but Shangguan Xiu's side can't be offended, and the city-state of Solan is in a dilemma, and it is difficult to ride a tiger.

Let's say that Shangguan Xiu and his party were taken to the hotel in Solan City by Matthew. The conditions of the hotel are very good, the place is large, there are many rooms, and it is more than enough to accommodate Shangguanxiu and his entourage.

Dylan asked Matthew to entertain Shangguan Xiu, and when he arrived at the hotel, he didn't leave immediately, and summoned the elite of the paladin regiment under his command to be responsible for the guards of the hotel.

In the room, Shangguan Xiu, Guangfang, Matt, Shengnu and others were sitting or standing.

Guangfang frowned and said, "Brother Xiu, that Duke Huade is a wall grass. When the bishop didn't come, he may have really secretly allied with our country, but then he was frightened by the bishop, I don't think he dared to form an alliance with my country anymore, and it is really unnecessary for us to continue to stay in Solan City!" After speaking, he turned his head to look at Matt and asked, "Matt, do you think what I said is right?"

Matt smiled bitterly, he had made a lot of calculations, but he missed the Holy See, an important factor that determined victory or defeat. He licked his dry lips and said slowly, "As long as the power of the Holy See is still in Solan City, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Duke Huade to make up his mind to form an alliance with the Wind Country. ”

Shangguan Xiu rubbed his chin and was silent in thought. It's not that he didn't calculate the Holy See, but he didn't expect that the influence of the Holy See would be so great that it could interfere in the internal affairs of the city-state.

He pondered for a long time and asked, "If Duke Huade can resist the pressure of the Holy See and insist on forming an alliance with our country, will there be a split within the city-state of Solan?"

Matt thought about it carefully, shook his head thoughtfully, and said: "First of all, Duke Walter is hesitant and timid in the face of trouble, and I don't think he has the courage to break with the Holy See and form an alliance with our country. Secondly, if Duke Huade really did this, he could really withstand the pressure of the Holy See, and there would be no internal division in the city-state of Solan. The Huade family has ruled the Solan city-state for thousands of years, and its power has long been deep-rooted, unshakable, and its prestige is unparalleled. ”

After hearing this, Shangguan Xiu nodded slowly. As they spoke, there was a knock on the door, followed by Matthew pushing the door open from the outside.

He walked up to Shangguan Xiu, bowed down, and said, "Lord Shangguan, I have already arranged the guards outside, if Lord Shangguan doesn't send any more, I will say goodbye!"

"Wait a minute!" Shangguan Xiu raised his hand to stop him, and asked with a smile: "At the cocktail party just now, I heard the conversation between Duke Huade and General Huade, and General Kuntu heard it, right?"

Matthew was stunned, not understanding his intention by asking, he nodded and said, "I heard it." ”

"I want to know, what does General Kuntu think about this matter?" Shangguan Xiu asked curiously.
