He's like a bear. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Rox looked coldly at the city lord of Bordel City in front of him, and thought so.

Martin, the lord of Bordall City, was large and thick-haired, not at all like a Blood, known for his thinness and elegance, but rather like a ...... A bear.

Actually, Rox has this idea, and body shape is not the main factor. The point is, Martin was roaring loudly in front of him - like a bear.

"What the hell is going on?!Why did Rosroki be assassinated as soon as she entered my city?!"

"......" Rox kept a sneer on his face and didn't answer.

"Who are those?!You think I'm blind?!Blind people can tell they're from the Moonblade Order!"

“......”

"Why did the Moonblade Knights come to my city?!Why don't I know?!Why do they even have a bed crossbow?!Who gave it to them?!Who has such great power?!!"

“......”

"Are you right? Rox?!Do you know what you're doing?"

"Murder!" Martin roared the loudest roar yet.

"You're murdering in front of tens of thousands of people! You're murdering the eldest daughter of Vimilia's family! This is not only murder, it's rebellion! I can have people arrested right now! Do you want to be hanged for murder, or do you want to be put to death by a stake nailed through the heart for treason?!"

"No matter how loud you scream, you won't be able to change the situation, Lord Castle. After a long silence, Rox finally spoke: "Why are you ranting at me, I have no knowledge of that assassination, and there is no evidence that I have anything to do with those killers. ”

"But I do know who the Moonblade Knights are in control, do you?" Rox said slowly, not loudly, but completely gagged Martin's roar in his mouth.

"If you want to kill me now, do it, and soon the news of my death will reach the north. Rox continued to provoke, but Martin remained eerily silent.

Seeing the other party's reaction, Rox finally laughed and said, "Of course you know who is responsible for this, but you don't even dare to mention her name." You're going to accuse me of rebellion, you're rebelling! You have to find out who the head of the family is now! It's Andrea! And Rogie is just a cursed person with the power of blood! She is now the enemy of the entire Bloodline!"

Rox's voice rose higher and higher, aggressive, and after saying these words in one breath, he saw that Martin had completely lost the momentum he had just had.

That's right. After all, he thought, Martin had only two choices: either give in and cooperate with him, or continue to sympathize with Rogie and die.

"Even if I openly support Rogie, Andrea won't dare to declare me treasonous!

It was a long time before Martin uttered a muffled word. What he said was the truth, Boydel City was too far away from the power center of the Blood Clan, and it was separated by the impassable Thorntooth Mountain Range in the middle, even if Andrea wanted to mobilize the army to "quell the rebellion", she was afraid that she would not be able to help Martin and his Birdel City, and this was Martin's biggest reliance.

But Rox just sneered: "It's true that Lord Andrea will not send troops to Bedle City, but if the Prayer Star Sect comes to attack Birdel in the future, there will be no reinforcements to support you." ”

"You say...... What?!"

"I'm just stating a possibility. ”

"Is she going to give up the Bloodline's territory to the Morningstar Empire for the sake of her power?!" Martin was furious.

"Mistress Andrea hasn't said that, she's certainly not willing to give up Birdel, and if you're willing to be loyal to her, she'll get the Blood Council to pass a bill that will cut Birddell's taxes and allow you to recruit more troops...... to fight against the Morning Star Empire. ”

Martin was stunned, although he understood that this was the other party's usual routine of coercion and temptation, but in the face of such a big benefit, he still couldn't help but hesitate.

Seeing his expression, Rox smiled slightly, and said in a soothing tone: "We all know that Rogie once saved Boydel City, but now, Andrea is the head of the family, and only she has the power to save Birdel City." Lord of the city, please think about it, do you want to give up the people of a city for the sake of personal feelings?"

He saw Martin's fists clenched and released, let go and clenched. It was a long time before Martin finally spoke, his voice muffled, as if he was being pressed to his throat: "I want to cut taxes to 30%!"

This was not to be expected by Rox, as according to the decree issued by the Blood Council, 50% of the fiscal revenue of each Blood City was to be paid to the Vimilia family, and Birdel City was no exception. At this moment, Martin demanded that the contribution rate be reduced to 30%, and based on the considerable amount of tax revenue from Bird's town every year, Bird's town would be able to retain a huge amount of wealth every year, and a considerable part of it would go to Martin.

"Thirty percent is impossible!" Rox shook his head, "Forty percent!" I can try to convince Lord Andrea to accept the number. ”

"Thirty percent. Martin still insisted.

After a long bargain, the two sides finally reached an agreement, and after Rox returned to the north, he would fight for Andrea according to the terms of 30% and 40%, and 40% as the guarantee.

"There is one more condition. Martin said, "If you want me to do something to Rogie, then don't even think about it! At the moment I do it to Rogie, if the Moonblade Knights don't show up, I will give up immediately! I am your collaborator, not your butcher's knife, and I believe that Lord Andrea will understand me." ”

Rox didn't respond verbally, just nodded almost invisibly before turning away.

He has achieved his goal. Martin promised him that he would kill Rogie, even if Martin failed to fulfill his promise, it didn't matter, the people sent by Andrea still had a backhand, although it was a pity that the first assassination failed to kill Rogie, but it was a good harvest to be able to try out that Rogie could also use blood magic, and the puppet next to her was a little weird.

......

Martin waited for the door to close and the footsteps fade away before letting out a long breath.

In an instant, all the anger, unwillingness, and greed on his face disappeared, it was just a show for Rox, and his face sank like water at the moment.

He walked over to the window, pushed it open, and felt the breeze blowing outside. This room is on the seventh floor, the highest point in Birdel City, with a great view.

Martin's gaze went beyond the rooftops, over the gray-black walls, to the vast plain south of the city of Berdel.

His gaze seemed to travel back in time to that day ten years ago. He saw the knights of the Prayer Star Cult gathered there, they were dressed in well-made white iron armor, armed with razor-sharp spears, and the divine magic blessed on their bodies shone with golden light, and they numbered twenty thousand people, like a forest of steel.

He saw the Red Iron Knights led by Rogie, their disheveled and tired faces, some on horseback, some un- there was no way, the price to pay for crossing the Thorntooth Mountains was too great. They formed a wedge-shaped queue, standing silently in front of an enemy ten times their number.

The knights of the Prayer Star Cult were the first to charge, they were too confident that a single charge would be enough to crush the other party, but they ignored the distance between the two sides, which was already a bit far for the heavy knight's charge.

In the face of the enemy's charge, the Red Iron Knights remained silent in place, and it was not until the opponent had run half the distance and the explosive power of the horses began to decline that they finally moved. Soldiers on horseback form arrows, and they increase their speed to the limit in a short distance.

And then—

Like a chisel, it chiseled through the enemy formation.

The soldiers who were running on foot followed, completely tearing the enemy formation in half.

And at this moment, in the reserve team of the Star Prayer Sect, the hundred-foot high pillars of divine light lit up one after another, so blazing that it was impossible to look at directly, that was the enemy's rear hand, in case the cavalry's charge failed to work, it would be up to these great star prayer masters to destroy the other party.

But before they could attack, the pillars of divine light were extinguished one after another, like a candle that had been blown out, and a bright red figure shuttled between them, and the Great Prayer Star Master, whose strength was equivalent to that of a sixth-level Blood Guard, could not block her blow.

In that battle, Luo Ji killed thirteen Grand Star Prayer Masters in a row, which greatly reduced the morale of the opponent, but they still had an overwhelming advantage in numbers, and the two sides were entangled in an inseparable victory.

But at that moment, the gates opened, and the defenders of the city of Berdell shouted out of the city and rushed into battle.

Martin saw the man in the lead, who was on his horse and charged with his sword in his hand, the lord of the city of Badel, who was not so fat and not so old at that time.

On that day, the Berdel City army he led became the straw that broke the camel's back, causing the Prayer Star Cult army to collapse completely.

......

He will never forget that moment.

Martin saw the choice he had to make.
