Chapter 56: Martin Farrien
"A person's worth has nothing to do with the length of his life. ”
- Justin Warren
The Eagle Queen gave Rhodok a blank look: "I'm not eavesdropping on the scenery from my own attic!"
"Are you questioning the loyalty of Giant Eagle City? The Eagle Queen didn't dare to answer Pikes's question in one sentence, the atmosphere was extremely cold, everyone didn't dare to speak, the Eagle Queen's momentum grew with age, and it didn't diminish in the slightest, this is the conclusion that Rhodok came to.
"Giant Eagle City is the grandfather of King Allen, King Adolf granted the Ron family a fief, the Ron family and the Fest family have both fought for the Amber family, swore allegiance to the Amber family as the king of the Northridge, and the Fest family is the only two daughters left of me and Jora. The Eagle Queen said and looked at Rodok, who involuntarily lowered his head.
"Now that the king is seriously ill in bed, the Ron family will naturally protect the king's safety, and the king's guards can enter Giant Eagle City, but the army of Eternal Night City will definitely not be allowed to enter Giant Eagle City. The Eagle Queen said and glanced at Domit, who shuddered.
Glaring at Pikes again, Pikes now felt that the Eagle Queen knew the true situation of the king, and this was through her own communication and demonstration to the king, thinking about the rumors of the king's father about what the giant eagle city had done, Pikes was also a little relieved. Looking at the figure of the Eagle Queen walking away, the major lords present were a little embarrassed, but compared to the age of the Eagle Queen, in front of her, she and the others were indeed like children.
"Who in the end is in charge of Giant Eagle City. After the Eagle Queen walked away, Boris muttered dissatisfiedly.
Without waiting for Domt to speak, Rhodok glanced at Boris and said, "What did you say when the Eagle Queen was there?"
Boris grinned, the meeting still had to go on, fortunately the Eagle Queen's arrangement did not disrupt the current deployment, in fact, in Rhodok's opinion, the Eagle Queen's arrangement was reasonable, Pikes and Boris They could only have bitterness and couldn't speak, and they looked at each other a few times without leaving a trace.
In addition to Clobois and Vincent, Philip and Anderson each led 10,000 men to march from the other two directions, and the rest marched head-on to Eternal Night City together, and then supported Windwhisper Castle as appropriate.
After the meeting, Domt and Rhodok inevitably went to meet the Eagle Queen, and sure enough, shortly after the meeting, a subordinate came to pay their respects.
"The Eagle Queen is waiting in your study to see you and Lord Rhodok. ”
Rodok and Domt looked at each other for a moment, and went to the study together. Pushing open the door to the study, the Eagle Queen looked at the letters on the table with her head propped up. In the dim candlelight, the white-haired old man lost his momentum just now, and looked more like a kind elder.
"Mother. Domt, who pushed the door in, saw that the Eagle Queen did not react, and called softly.
"Huh?" the Eagle Queen's head sank, and she looked up at Domt and Rhodok, rubbed her sleepy-eyed eyes, and said, "You're here." When people get old, they tend to get sleepy, and they almost fall asleep after reading the letter for a while. As he spoke, he sorted out some of the letters on the table that he had just flipped through in the affairs of the Giant Eagle City area.
"Auntie, you don't have to worry about so many things when you're so old. Rhodok stepped forward and persuaded.
The Eagle Queen glanced at the two of them and said: "Domt is young, you are just as stupid, do you think I am willing to worry about so many things, you remember this world, you can't trust anyone, let alone put your net worth in the hands of others." ”
"Auntie, you're thinking too much. Rodok smiled bitterly and said, "Eren won't be good, when he captures Eternal Night City, he will naturally meet Eternal Night City." ”
"What if you miss this time? The Eagle Queen asked Rhodok rhetorically, "None of your people in your generation have ever experienced a real war, how can you definitely win a war, and neither your uncle nor your father dare to say that they have not lost a war." ”
"Father also lost battles?" Domt asked curiously, he had never heard of his father defeating battles.
"Hmph. The Eagle Queen sneered, "Your father and Rhodok's father are both big men who want to save face, how can they say that they have lost the battle, although the two have not suffered any big losses, but they have obviously let the other party take advantage of the loopholes, but there is no less, whether it is to let go of the enemy or to lose part of the manpower, although neither of them thinks that this is a failure, but for the other party, this is already a victory." ”
As she spoke, the Eagle Queen's face showed a natural proud smile, as if she remembered the heroic appearance of Grand Duke Paul back then. Then I don't know what sounded, and a sad look appeared on my face.
Sighing, the Eagle Queen looked at the two of them and said: "The worst loss was still lost in the royal power, if it weren't for Gail and Anthony at that time, it was unknown whether the three of us and Rolf could stand here now." ”
Gail and Anthony are the fathers of Rhodoch and Rolf, first the Eagle Queen Ennis married to Archduke Paul, and later Jola married Rhoddock, but Paul and Ennis only had a Domt after a long time, otherwise there would not be that bloody battle when you did, the reason why the Amber family dared to suppress the Ron family back then was probably because the heir of the Ron family was still an infant child.
"Auntie, Alan is not that kind of person. "Rhodok has personally experienced that period of history, but Alan has been working hard to repair the relationship between several people over the years.
The Eagle Queen shook her head, looked at Rhodok and said, "You haven't seen King Adolf, that's the true hero, the one your uncle and your father followed, neither Alan nor his father had that kind of temperament in them. ”
"Where do you think the rumors of your peeking on the throne are coming from these days, do you really think it's a trick of the Kakamans? The Eagle Queen said, staring at Rhodok.
Hearing this, Rodok thought about it carefully, couldn't help but shudder, took a breath, looked at the Eagle Queen and asked, "You have evidence." ”
"No, I guessed. The Eagle Queen shook her head and said
Rodoc breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, of course he didn't want to believe that it was Allen's idea.
"The king struggles to talk in bed, and I go to see him every day, and it won't be his attention, and if it is, it may be Pikes's arrangement, and he is the king's man and should be thoughtful for the king. Rhodok said.
"Hmph, I hope," said the Eagle Queen, pouting disdainfully, for she had always had a great opinion of the king, which was understandable to Rhodok, who had experienced those years himself.
The army will be drawn the day after tomorrow, and tomorrow Clobois and Vincent, Philip, and Anderson will take the men to set off first. Rhodok: They will spend another night in the City of Giant Eagle tonight, and they will go to the barracks tomorrow to prepare for departure.
The Eagle Queen obviously gave the two of them a reassurance, the old man is not old and confused, and he is still worried about his dead husband's territory, although Rhodok is not wary of the Amber family, but this is not his own territory after all, and the Eagle Queen feels that it is not unreasonable for Rodok to do this, at least the Eagle Queen must be safe in the rear.
At the same time, Ajel was attacking the Windwhispering Castle, and Martin came to fight with the Gold and Silver Castle, and as for the other two castles, the two men who saw the wind and the rudder were more than trusted, and Ajel demanded that Martin must let them go into battle, and tie them firmly to the same ship as himself.
Kress Capone came once, and the momentum was impressive, and the reasons for Argel's rebellion were different from those of Martin. Martin is not so much betraying Northridge as he is provoking his old-fashioned father.
Martin's father was not a very good parent, he did not educate his children, he liked to drink heavily and different women, Martin was an inconspicuous presence among his many children. But Martin was very filial, and he didn't like his mother, who was so good-looking, to wash her face with tears all day long.
Since he was a child, he has tried hard to please his father, but his father's character seems to have no family affection except loyalty to honor, and Martin feels more like a subordinate than a son to his father.
Eventually, Martin knew that there was only one way to save himself, and he began to add trace amounts of arsenic to his father's wine and food. After his father's slow poisoning, Martin designed to kill his ten brothers in the Great Lake near the Golden and Silver Castle.
It was winter, and the lake had just frozen, and Martin and his men quietly carved a crack in the ice in the middle of the lake. By the next day, when the brothers felt that they could play as in previous years, Martin led everyone to the middle of the lake, intentionally or unintentionally.
No one doubted that a twelve-year-old boy had only three sons left by his father after that day, and that the other two were of humble status that posed no threat to Martin.
But Martin's father seems to be suspicious, first the food was strictly protected, so that Martin never had a chance to continue poisoning, and now that his father has survived for so many years, he is even more suspicious of Martin's mother and son, Martin knows that his mother has been tortured, and even tortured, which makes him even more cruel to his father.
Even though old Farrion was now sick in bed, and the entire castle had become Martin's hall, the old immortal coughed and wanted to scold himself after he said that he was considering cooperating with the Kakamans.
Thinking of this, Martin gently broke a branch in his hand, and glanced at the Wind Whispering Castle fiercely, which had already lost a lot of manpower, and the scattered four Chongcheng trees and corpses in front of the city gate showed that they had launched at least four attacks.
Glancing at Ajar in the distance, to be honest, Martin looked down on this guy who rebelled against a trumped-up duke title and a few fiefdoms still in the hands of Northridge.
