Chapter 179: Phoenix Rebellion (I)

The meal had already served, and Salin poured wine for Elaine. Raising the crystal glass, he smiled, "Well, for the future." ”

"For the future. ”

"For the future!"

The crystal wine glasses of the three people clashed together, making a crisp sound. Salin was satisfied, he didn't care how much he divided, but with this partnership, even if the four major families took root in this city in the future, it would be impossible to control trade. He still remembered the story he heard at the beginning, a trading house with a deep background went to Shengyan City to develop, and was squeezed out by the four major families.

These four families are fighting openly and secretly, but if there are really other forces to share the profits, the four major families will immediately unite.

Now that the Clyde family and the Williams family are in charge of the city, they are all in charge of the city, and the remaining two families will not be able to make any trouble.

Business matters cannot be solved by force, so secretly dividing is the best way.

Once the things to cooperate with are determined, it becomes natural between the three people. Elaine seems to have forgotten the unhappiness of her childhood, and discussed the location of the trading house with Ani. The location of the comptoir is knowledgeable, Ani has taken the lead, Elaine is not too late to come, and there are good places for her to choose.

Before she could finish her meal, Neris flashed in from outside.

"The hosts. ”

"Nellis. Come and sit. "Saleen was in a good mood and let Neris sit next to him. He knew that Neris was not a reckless person, and she was in a hurry, and she must have had her idea.

"Master, not the enemy. ”

"Oh, who is that, who actually sent an army. ”

"This ......"

"It's okay, Elaine is her own person. Salin said as he pushed the boat. If what Neris said was confidential, it would be impossible for her to get here, and she would definitely wait for Saleen to return to the temple. There is a sense between the hearts of the two people, and there is a tacit understanding of cooperation.

Elaine didn't know that Neris was Saline's contract creature, and she felt a little proud when she heard Salin's words.

"Do you remember Baron Piac?"

"Remember, it's good that he has ten soldiers, isn't it a scout? By the way, I asked him to wait in Shenlin Town first, and I will gather people to receive it, and he came by himself?"

"Not only did he come, but he also said that he had moved two viscounts to defect to you. ”

"Poof......" Salin squirted out a sip of wine. He didn't look down on Baron Piac at all, who would have thought that he would do such a big thing. The baron has at most one town, and the viscount can already own a small city. Saleen's hometown, Ceylon City, is the territory of a viscount.

Pijac, a down-and-out baron, actually said that two viscounts had left their homeland and fled so far to join him, and Salin thought it was too bizarre to hear it. Did something happen to Phoenix or did Saint Rock do something? Saleen didn't feel that he had any reputation outside the world that could allow two landed nobles to defect.

Elaine's eyes widened as she looked at Saleen. What Neris said was astonishing. There are nobles who have come to Saleen, what kind of magic is there in Salin? Elaine's mind was in turmoil, and this incident made her lose her judgment. But the image of Saleen grew taller in her heart.

"Well, Nellis, you accompany Elaine to her residence.

Saleen couldn't eat any more, so he wanted to meet the two nobles at once and ask what was going on in Phoenix.

Elaine ......

"It's okay, you go and get busy, we'll talk about it tomorrow. Elaine smiled understandingly, full of charm.

Aini's lips moved, and when she saw Nellis's unfriendly gaze, she changed her words: "I'll go back first and plan to go to sea next year." He wanted to follow Salin to see it, but since Neris signaled him not to go, he held back.

Salen trusts Ani, but Neris doesn't. The person she believed most was Sika, the stupid girl she wouldn't find out if Saleen sold her.

"Miss Elaine, you don't have to rush back, your men. It's all been arranged to live and someone to take care of it. Nellis smiled and asked Elaine to change the soup and bring snacks after the meal. Ani stood up in disbelief, unable to lose her temper. He hated himself for why he was afraid of a maid.

Salin got up and left, not helping Aini. Of course, the one he trusts the most is Nellis, who has been born and died many times, and he already understands that Nellis is thinking about herself most of the time, and occasionally reveals her true nature, and she can detect it. This time it may have been an accident, but it is more likely that something happened to the south. If something happens to Phoenix, maybe there will be danger when Rex comes back next year.

Saleen sent someone to call Zola, take the soldiers, leave the building of the town hall, and walk to the west of the city. The west of the city was almost finished, with a temporary garrison camp, and Daniel spent most of his day training his soldiers in addition to practicing magic.

Seeing Daniel, Salin asked him to take a hundred soldiers and two hundred undead out of the city to pick up Baron Piac. Saleen himself stayed at the camp and waited.

Daniel was ordered to form the first battalion, and he had only two hundred pirates, and although the camp was large, only one was actually in use. As soon as Saleen arrived, the soldiers could not rest, so they all put on armor and waited in the wings on both sides. In fact, Salin does not need the protection of these people. He had Zola by his side, worthy of the strength of all pirates.

However, Daniel is very strict in his training, and since Saleen is here in person, no one dares to be lazy. With a necromancer as their commander, the pirates have become accustomed to carrying out orders without hesitation.

Salin remembered the layout of the Holy Rock City, and thought to himself, after the city was built, the military camp should be moved outside the city.

"Are you worried, sir?" said Zola. He saw that Saleen had something on his mind and took the initiative to talk to Saleen.

"Well, I don't know what's going on with Phoenix, according to the plan, even if Phoenix is going to mess up, it will have to wait three years. ”

"Actually, it's the same when it's chaotic, it's better to be earlier, there are still undead kings in the hands of adults, five thousand undead soldiers. Now that Phoenix is in chaos, adults will have a chance to take in Phoenix's manpower. The two viscounts came to defect, probably bringing more than a thousand people, and if the adults handle it well, more people will come. ”

"Rex is crossing Phoenix next spring. Saleen voiced his concerns.

"Actually, if you ask those two people in a while, it's not too late for adults to think of countermeasures. Zola didn't have a playful look on his face now. Seriously to Salin.

Salin nodded, he was worried about Rex and Schika. These two people are very important to him, and if they are care, if they are the next people, Salin will not lose his composure. Zola was right, and even if something big happened to Phoenix, he could send someone outside Phoenix to intercept it, and let Rex take a detour to Lianyun City and take the sea route back here.

Sitting bored, Salin was not willing to meditate at this time, so he called a soldier. I asked for a war chess piece and played chess with Zola.

It took about two hours for Daniel to return with the people.

"My lord, I've brought people back, outside. Daniel entered the barracks and spoke to Sarah.

"How many?"

"Many, about nine hundred. ”

"How?"

"Encamped outside the city, I left behind a hundred undead. ”

"Well done, Piac, let him in, and two guests. ”

"Yes. Daniel turned and went out, and in a short time the fat baron entered the barracks with two middle-aged men, and he ran to Salin at a distance, and bowed before Sarah.

"Pijak, long time no see, these two ......"

Salin said lightly, he is a great magician, even if the other party is a viscount, he doesn't have to get up to greet him.

Two middle-aged men, dressed in ordinary clothes, approached Saleen, performed aristocratic etiquette, and introduced themselves: "Master Mage, I am Suha. ”

"Peter. ”

The two consciously said their names briefly, but did not say their surnames. Seeing that the two middle-aged men were in a trance, Salin said, "Ge Yi is outside, let someone bring tea, and the two of you will sit." ”

Suha and Peter settled down and sat on either side. This was the barracks, and the table in front of Saleen was huge enough to unfold the map. The three of them sat far away, and the two of them were still thinking nonsense in their hearts, and Salin spoke again.

"Both, I heard that you gave up your territory and came here, did something happen to Phoenix?"

Suha and Peter looked at each other, not knowing how to speak for a moment. They are of honorable status. Although the mage is more noble, I haven't heard of any nobles who have taken refuge in the mage. Although the mage in front of him has a city.

"Piac, you name it. "Saleen didn't want to waste time.

Pijak is no longer in the same embarrassment as he was at the beginning, he has treated Saleen as his lord, listening to Saleen ask him, Pijak smiled a little flatteringly, and said to Salin: "My lord, something happened to Phoenix, ...... to talk about it"

Pijak began to talk endlessly, and Saleen listened attentively, and when he heard this, Saleen's brow furrowed. Phoenix did have a big change, but it wasn't for him.

It all started last month, when in November, news came from Holy Rock City that the new Grand Duke of Phoenix had died mysteriously, and the news immediately set off a storm in Phoenix.

After the appearance of the Dark Mage, the cowardly Grand Duke of Phoenix fled to Holy Rock City, saying that he would not return to the territory. This matter is known to Salin, and it has become a joke among the nobles of Qin Yin. However, no matter how cowardly the Grand Duke of Phoenix is, he is also the only master of this principality, and even the emperor of Qin Yin can't do anything to him.

In November, Grand Duke Phoenix died in Holy Rock, and Holy Rock couldn't tell how the Grand Duke died. To make matters worse, the Grand Duke of Phoenix had no descendants when he was in the Duchy, and now he has lived in Holy Rock for a few years, and suddenly has a son.

The Lords had already passed the Lords' decision to let the one-year-old boy inherit the title, and the Commons had no objection. Of course, the nobility in the principality did not agree. The envoys of the imperial capital were driven back, and there were clashes between several major powers in the principality. According to the law of Qin Yin, the territory of this principality is forever independent and belongs to the nobles of this land, and for the death of the Grand Duke, everyone believes that it is a conspiracy of Shengyan City.

War broke out without warning.
