In fact, Alik could only send an envoy to ask for a reproach, but Brian ignored it, and Seneh really couldn't spare the strength to stop this force, let alone attack the fiefdom.

On the sixth day, Brian's convoy had left Seneh's borders and arrived at the precincts of the Church of the Wisdom of Light, with the goal of getting some supplies from the edge of the Giants, and then moving on.

Giant City is a medium-sized city, the garrison is as high as 15,000 in peacetime, the city lord Marquis Hobson, is a relative of the Rodney royal family, at the beginning of the establishment of the Yamelo Empire, it has also made great achievements, has high privileges, the church generally does not meddle in the affairs of the city casually, let alone easily mobilize its army. At the beginning of the war, Hobson sent 3,000 men to support Pope Heinault, and now the city still has a very large army, and no force can be underestimated.

At the same time as the Toby Chamber of Commerce sent supplies, Hobson's envoys also arrived in the army and invited Viscount Brian to sit in the city.

Brian couldn't refuse, in the face of the city lord with an army of 10,000 people, of course he couldn't offend casually, Hobson was not Alik, so stupid that he couldn't even find his brain, but the most powerful non-church army in the empire.

Hobson was about fifty, majestic and majestic, with a well-trimmed beard and a pair of aggressive eyes, and he got straight to the point: "Viscount Brian, to be honest, I'm not very interested in your troops, but Prince Edgeworth must summon you, he is fighting for every strength to revitalize the former majesty of the royal family, and this is why we have today's meeting." ”

Brian saw the Marquis leading him to the chamber and asked, "Can I bring a guard?"

"Of course, what's the difference between bringing and not bringing?" Hobson didn't care, who could make any waves in his turf.

Bryan, like Hobson, saluted the royal family, and after bowing, he raised his head, but saw that Edgeworth had been staring at Lillian, and immediately coughed and asked, "Your Excellency, may I ask what instructions do you have for personally summoning an inconspicuous little nobleman?"

Hobson glanced at the viscount in surprise, thinking that this kid had the guts, and before the prince could speak, he preemptively questioned him.

"What a rude hillbilly!" Princess Anasta, who was sitting next to the prince, pouted, dissatisfied with Brian's behavior, and of course she remembered very well that the guard had insulted her back then.

"The military situation is tense, and I beg your pardon for the rudeness. Brian said that he was apologizing, but in fact, he was neither humble nor arrogant, and the meaning of his words was urging the prince to say something quickly.

Who knows that Edgeworth started talking about how brave and invincible their family was four hundred years ago, defeating the forces of the Star Church and establishing a great empire.

Brian frowned, thinking that this was not to say that this was not an afternoon, delaying him for half a day, and several times he wanted to interrupt the prince, but Lilian gently pulled his sleeve.

Then Edgeworth began to count the Church again, also from four hundred years ago, when the Church of the Holy Light of Wisdom was still an inconspicuous non-governmental organization, and if it were not for the support of the royal family, they would not have the power they have today.

"Lord Prince, although you are not proficient in history, you have read some of it, can you get straight to the point?" Brian really couldn't help it.

Hobson sat on the side and stroked his beard, admiring the young viscount, and he also felt that every time the prince spoke, he thought about the beginning, four hundred years ago and until now. Nima's goods are not to say that they are in government, but they are teaching, and it is estimated that they will not be able to eat.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, Edgeworth originally wanted to win over Brian for his own use, after all, the forces that supported the royal family almost did not exist, and Hobson was left as a relative. The old marquis's support was not very strong, he only promised to give the royal family 2,000 soldiers, and he didn't care about the rest, he still had troops in Boulder City and lived the life of a hegemon.

Anasta was immediately unhappy and rebuked angrily: "A little viscount, what is it, dare to interrupt the prince's speech, do you still have royal majesty in your eyes?"

Brian smiled lightly: "Royal majesty, do you think you have majesty?"

This sentence choked the princess so much that she almost rolled her eyes, trembling and pointing at Brian, unable to speak.

"I'm here to tell the prince the key points, what does the Rodney family want to do, doesn't it just want me to take refuge in you? But your glorious past history and current embarrassing situation can't attract me to work for it, what should I do?"

Edgeworth kept winning, hoping that the Marquis of Hobson would save the day.

"Is it to be coerced? It doesn't make sense, Prince and Marquis. If I only submit temporarily, my 1,500 men will be a dangerous sharp knife, dangling by your side all the time, not to mention that by the time I came here, they had already continued to go north, and it is estimated that this will take out Lord Hobson's 100-man sentry and capture them all, and the sentry post of my lord is too few people. ”

"I'll go, you're not kidding, damn it, they don't care if you live or die?" the marquis couldn't sit still, and almost pulled out his sword.

"It doesn't matter whether I live or die, at least I can fight, your goal is not achieved anyway. Brian laughed hard, "I am a pragmatic person, the reason why I sent troops to assist the church in fighting against the Xiangri Empire is not to curry favor with the church, nor to have any prejudice against the royal family, but to prevent the northern forces from swallowing up our empire, this flood washed down, when there are many people, you can still block it, and when you get to the back, Lord Marquis, do you think you can hold this city, prince, do you think that the Xiangri Empire will care about your majesty at that time? And I, too, can't keep my poor fief!"

None of them spoke, and it was clear that Brian had hit them in the underbelly.

"You have tens of thousands of troops, but what about sitting here and watching the situation, or you just want to stick a knife in the back of the church, and the great enemy is now, and if this knife is inserted, the Rodney royal family will leave a glorious mark in history? One hundred and ten years ago, Du Bois IV proposed that the church should have independent military power, and what was the emperor doing, he did not dare to clash with the church head-on, so he had to declare that Du Bois IV was the father of the state, so he recognized him as a godfather and handed over most of the army to the church. ”

Brian suddenly pulled out the big sword behind his back, and said with a fearless face: "Today, I will tell you that majesty can only be obtained by nostrils facing the sky, sometimes it has to be exchanged for blood!" (To be continued.) )
