??? City Council Hall

Eagle. Viscount Edel strolled in.

"Viscount size!" First, it was the head of the Knights, Knight Ebilee, who stood up to say hello.

Present were the various barons, Baron Miroa, Baron Moham, Baron Perandam, and Baron Rocas.

Seeing the barons, the viscount sighed in his heart, Pakett part of the upper Pakett, middle Pakett, lower Pakter, in the land of Lower Pakett, there were originally seven barons, but now for various reasons, only the above four are left.

The baron only needs to nod and salute the viscount and show a little respect.

In this world, titles are basically divided into seven classes except for kings.

Dukes, Hou, Pai, Zi, and Male are the nobles who officially control a large amount of territory, and below them are the lords (knights) and knights.

And in this world, titles can be given to women, giving women the right to inherit titles.

In this kingdom, Pai Jue divided the capital, took over the power, and became a hereditary great feudal lord.

And the viscount. At first, he was the deputy of Paijue, but the history has developed to the present, and it has existed independently, but because of independence, it is difficult to invite Peng Jue to help.

At this moment, the representatives of the Mage Guild below, the eighth-level mage Xie Jis, followed by the Sir (Lord) family of the mainland, they were not originally within the scope of the collection, but they were within the scope of Apus City, so naturally they had to come,

What attracts attention is that there is also the famous scholar Mergi, this guy is not an ordinary scholar, behind him is the Philin Church, the goddess of wisdom and knowledge, and behind him there is a so-called "singing union" directly belonging to him.

"Everyone, I guess you all know the situation outside, right?" said Viscount Eagle Del, glancing at it.

Then, there was silence that had been difficult to abrupt.

"It seems that the situation is indeed very bad" Mergi saw that everyone did not speak, and said: "The other party's abyssal nobleman's name is Savenqiu, of course, it is only a small fragment of the demon's real name. ”

"After defeating the Galle Domain, this demon was successfully promoted to the Baron of the Abyss, and the sub-demons of the entire Lower Pakt region were gathered, the number was twenty thousand, and the number of the Great Demon was more than one hundred and fifty, which was a huge trouble. ”

"Yes, my honourable Mr. Mergi, that's why we're here. Baron Miroa said, "We will not let it continue to develop, but how to stop it is a big question, Lord Viscount, the Count has not yet given a clear answer?"

"Oh? No, Lord Earl said, a similar situation has occurred in the territory of Central Packett now, or two Abyss Barons have appeared all at once, so the situation here is only to save yourself. "Iger. Viscount Edel replied with a wry smile.

Although he had known this result for a long time, he had heard it with his own ears, and the vicious language was still lingering on the lips of the nobles, but no one let it erupt, but only secretly swallowed a breath of anger.

"The current situation, Lord Viscount, how sure are you, and how is the kingdom about the current situation?

Although it was said tactfully, everyone actually knew what to say, which was to ask if they could keep the city, and secondly, whether they could find a way to escape.

This matter is at stake in their own lives. Therefore, everyone didn't think this question was ridiculous, and they all looked at the viscount.

Viscount Edel glanced at him and recognized this person as a local lord, the fief was not large, it was a village, and the main income of the family came from running two trading houses, although the territory was not large, but it was also a powerful nobleman.

"Lord Arnold, please rest assured, this city will not be attacked for a while," Viscount Edel replied coldly, his gaze swept towards everyone: "As for the roundabout questions, are you thinking about these things?"

In front of him, there were dozens of large and small nobles, those high-ranking knights, all calm as usual, and the secular nobles, although they did not lose their temper, but they also changed color, which made the viscount very disappointed.

"Lord Viscount Edel, it's not that we're cowardly, it's really ...... It's really a demon army that is too powerful!" A small nobleman of the hereditary knighthood fell silent and spoke.

A few of the people around him looked at him with disdain, but many more people also joined in.

"Yes, Lord Viscount Edel, is there anything to say about the kingdom?"

The first duty of the nobility is to protect the family, followed by the protection of the domain and the title, and as for glory, it is naturally second.

"Quiet!" a low voice suddenly sounded in the hall, and everyone suddenly shut up.

Seeing that Viscount Edel, whose face sank, he looked at everyone coldly: "You guys, you are usually smart, but you can't imagine that you are so stupid now!"

The deep voice in the huge hall can actually reverberate.

Hearing Viscount Edel say this, the nobleman didn't say anything on the surface, but he couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth.

None of the nobles really took the matter of serving the kingdom seriously, after all, the safety and territory of their own family were the most important. In this hierarchical world, only with higher titles and territories can you enjoy better treatment and better protect your own safety, the history of a family can be thousands of years, and this private kingdom may not be so long, so it is natural to choose.

"That's why I say you're stupid. Do not think that you will be able to escape if the city cannot be defended, for I tell you that the kingdom and the United Church have decreed that all who live in the city, whether commoners or nobles, must live and die with the city. Speaking of this, Viscount Edel couldn't help but show a cruel and helpless smile on his face: "If anyone dares to challenge this decision. Naturally, perhaps in their respective territories, the kingdom and the church could not help you for a while, but withdrawing from the territories and sending you to the stake is just a matter of words, the knights of the kingdom's internal affairs office, but it is an ornament. ”

Speaking of the knights of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, all the nobles are discolored, and this is a department with a monstrous reputation.

Viscount Edel hooked his lips, his eyes flashed with a bright light, and his voice was full of sarcasm: "Besides, even if you can solve this matter with your hands and eyes, don't forget, there are also various churches, especially the church of the Lord of Light, who will be very satisfied to burn some gentlemen and his whole family at the stake!"

When it comes to the Church of the Lord of Radiance, all the nobles are even more earthy.

"Lord Viscount, they don't dare to blatantly meddle in the world!" someone protested with some weakness.

"No, in peacetime, when the churches are at bay and the kingdom is independent, it is true that it will not blatantly interfere in the world, but when is it? It is war, it means the intervention of the gods, and at this time, the church will dare to tear apart any of us who disobey the gods," Viscount Edel said with a sneer, sitting on the throne casually, and eating and drinking wine in his arms as if nothing had happened.

All the nobles understood that although this was cruel, there was absolutely nothing wrong with it.

"And what are we going to do?" said Baron Roccas.

"If we want to survive, we must continue the family, or we are not afraid of the sanctions of the church, we can only join forces, have strength, and establish enough merits, yes, gentlemen, strength and prestige are very important at this time, only in this way, can we survive, not be eliminated!" Viscount Edel sneered and said: "You don't know how many families were wiped out in the last demonic disaster, listen to my advice, and do your best to concentrate your strength to win this war." ”

When Viscount Edel said this, he blinked his eyes slyly, lowered his voice abruptly, and showed a grim smile: " In fact, we have taken advantage of it, first of all, we only have one big demon under Pakett, as long as we win this time, we can not only get the right security, but also, we can get a lot of ownerless territories, and most importantly, you who still have the strength to attack other counties, in the name of salvation, gentlemen, if you have a history of five hundred years, you should understand that in the last demon disaster, there were still many families, and they could quickly expand their territories and titles!"

Hearing this, the nobles and knights below were in a commotion, each savoring these questions carefully.

"The last question, then this battle, we and the church together, is there a problem, I don't want to be the enemy. At this time, Baron Peilandan calmly proposed.

"No, no matter what, the Lord of Radiance and other gods will not do anything about this, they can make us die, but if we go into battle, we will definitely not leave our hands on the demons, so it is blasphemy" Suddenly, the Viscount's voice carried a chill that froze to the depths of the soul: "So, as long as we go into battle together, at this point in time, we can rely on them." ”

That's right, everyone present, all understood.

"In that case, then let's invite the representatives of the church to come to the council!" At this point, the viscount tugged at the corners of his mouth in satisfaction, this was the effect he wanted.

Seeing that everyone had no disagreement, a moment later, there was a small commotion outside the hall, and immediately, two rows of white flowers and flowers in front of the way, a red figure walked in the middle of the team, and soon appeared in front of everyone.

"Representatives of the Church of the Lord of Radiance are coming"

The man who came here in the company of two teams of senior priests, the archbishop who was in the area, he still looked so calm and peaceful, but the viscount who had taken a picture with him. But there was anxiety in his eyes.

The Viscount sneered slightly, he was defeated by the doctrine and defeated by the doctrine, no matter how powerful and cruel the Lord of Light was, but when facing the demons, the doctrine did not allow them to play some tricks.

"Your Excellency, welcome here. ”

"Yes. I'm honored to see you!"

The two men exchanged polite words and a polite hug, and then the Viscount arranged the bishop in the chair under his left hand.

This was followed by a large number of bishops of various churches, even the heads of the Knights.

The nobles can't move, and the church can recruit strength in some areas where the magic disaster is not great, and this is no exception, at least half or one-third of them are migrated from afar, normally, this is the strength of the nobles accounting for two-thirds, but now, because the bishops and high-ranking knights of the various churches are present, giving a lot of pressure to everyone, these nobles are very honest and sit on their chairs, and they no longer dare to speak indiscriminately.

For a while, the atmosphere was a little dull, and finally, after the speeches of several high-ranking knights, the atmosphere improved slightly.

“...... That's the way it is, thirteen knights, together with other armies, totaling about 10,000 people, will have a decisive battle with the demon army outside the city, all the friends present, I hope you don't sit idly by, after all, the city has been breached, and you will not escape death!" The viscount spoke after obtaining the approval of the bishop of the Church of the Lord of Radiance.
