"Edward Wetwood, how dare this despicable thing do such a daring thing?!"

When the news of what happened in the Twin Towers reached Hantu City, all the generals and nobles under Berion's command were shocked - as if the whole world was about to collapse, and the original perfect script suddenly deviated.

When the herald was killed, they only thought that Edward's army had mutinied, and although this problem was serious, it was not incomprehensible - even in the Kingdom of Turin, mutinies were a common occurrence among soldiers, and it was not once or twice that a rebellion was launched because of the problem of military pay and supplies, as long as it was suppressed in time, the leader was killed, and then the poor soldiers were pacified.

But then, this "mutinous" army raided the Twin Towers and took control of the entire castle, a thousand defenders were either killed or taken prisoner, all the nobles and generals who were still stranded in the castle were killed, and Edward, who should have been hanged a long time ago, was still alive!

By this time, even the slowest of those who had reacted had already understood—this was what the black-haired Viscount of Hornfort had premeditated! He had pretended to be so honest before, so peaceful, just to paralyze everyone's vigilance and prepare him for his evil plan!

When the messenger who fled back to Hantu City ran to the palace and told these Turin nobles of Hantu City all this, there were immediately people clamoring for the army to go out and teach this lowly thing who did not know the height of the sky and the height of the earth a hard lesson.

But soon this crazy plan was rejected by more people - Brilliant Cross, this Edward Witwood had an army of nearly 10,000 men, and he also controlled the Twin Towers, how many troops would it take to destroy him?

His army wasn't a new recruit either—after sweeping through the Greenland Valley and traversing the wilderness of the west-central part of the Mightland Highlands, he was able to surprise and defeat the elite of the Twin Towers. It's enough to prove how fierce this army is.

Not to mention the reason they used - Edward was the chief flag bearer appointed by the little prince Anson, and was appointed by His Majesty Horace, and there was not only a legion behind him, but also the support of most of the South and the Minester family!

The death of Grimm Turn, who has already caused countless after-effects on the battlefield, will face the wrath of His Majesty Horace if one more chief flag officer dies!

Strictly speaking. Edward, the chief flag officer, is second only to the chief lieutenant in power, and once he decides to march on the city, in addition to the elite guards who are truly loyal to Lord Berion, will the ordinary soldiers from Turin City be willing to point their guns at him?

They could put the young prince under house arrest, or they could co-opt the Turin nobles one by one, or find a way to take away their military power, or even have Greene Turn's "killed" - but when someone strong enough to fear them showed up. They were silent.

Under the premise that he can't be eliminated, how should he face this "Chief Flag Officer"?

"Negotiations?"

In the castle hall of the Twin Towers Fortress, Edward sat on the chair of the original Colbo, looking at the nobleman who claimed to be the envoy of Hantu City, and the corners of his mouth raised a touch of sarcasm: "A group of people who are trying to kill me and are still ready to take away my military power, do you still hope that I can sit down and negotiate with you calmly?"

"However, I believe that the Chief Flag Officer must be a loyal servant of the kingdom, the rebellion of Hantu City. The result of the strife between the brothers can only be to drain our blood and make the enemy arrogant. The envoy spoke very sincerely: "The rebellion in the whole land has not yet subsided. Let's end this as soon as possible!"

"Oh, is it?" Edward smiled, "What about Kolbo - and the generals and nobles of the Twin Towers, if it weren't for the timely arrival of my army, you would have had to talk to the ghosts right now." ”

"Kolbo's false orders, and his intent to assassinate the Chief Flag Bearer, was, of course, more than innocent—and the soldiers and nobles were accomplices. It is absolutely reasonable and legal for you to kill them. The expressionless messenger said indifferently, as if it were taken for granted: "No one will raise any objections, please rest assured." ”

After speaking, the messenger's expression became more humble, and he lowered his head and looked up at Edward who was sitting there: "I hope you can believe this." We sincerely hope to be able to resolve the differences with you, as long as it is a reasonable request, we can agree!"

If he could, Edward would have preferred to split the so-called "messenger" in half with a single sword, but now that the other party had stepped forward, he had to respond.

"If you really plan to negotiate peace, then I also need a few conditions. Edward said in a deep voice: "First of all, the Twin Towers Fortress is under my jurisdiction - until His Highness Anson's order is officially issued, this is my military camp!"

"Of course, having an excellent commander like you to guard the Twin Towers Fortress is of course the most advantageous choice for the people of Turin!" the messenger hurriedly agreed, and by the way, he also praised Edward: "I believe that even His Highness Anson will be quite satisfied with this appointment." ”

"Don't rush to say yes, I'm not done yet. There was a hint of sarcasm in Edward's expression: "In order to ensure the safety of both of us, especially with the experience of Kolbo, we cannot negotiate in Hantu City, and must choose another town that is far away. The two sides bring their respective armies and confront each other face to face!"

"This ......" Hearing Edward's request, the emissary's face was a little more hesitant: "Please believe in our sincerity, this kind of vigilance is completely unnecessary, let alone the army, this is simply too ......"

"If you don't agree, I can also send someone to the east immediately-it's not far from the Twin Towers Fortress to the east, I am the chief knight appointed by Grand Master Mercer Kane personally, and I have the right to ask the Knights of the Sacred Tree for help!" Seeing the other party's hesitation, Edward immediately coldly threatened: "Or convey this matter to Turin City, and let Your Majesty decide which of us is right and who is wrong!"

"Well, I'll convey your request to the adults of Hantu City. The envoy agreed: "Please believe that everything we do is to ensure the peace and stability of Hantu City—after all, the safety of this place is also related to the safety of the kingdom. ”

"I'm pretty sure of that. Edward nodded and replied, "I hope you don't disappoint too much—you've lost trust with me once!"

"In the name of the Radiant Cross, I will do my best to grant your wishes!" Seeing Edward's promise, the messenger nodded happily, saluted Edward, and left.

"Do you really believe this guy's nonsense?" As soon as the messenger turned to leave, Marco Tasker stepped out from behind the pillars of the hall, "Even if they agreed, it would only be to win you over - you don't really plan to be Berion's dog, do you?"

"I don't really think so, but that doesn't stop me from taking the opportunity. The corners of Edward's mouth lifted, "Don't you think this will be the best chance to save His Highness Anson?"

If Edward had brought a large enough army, even for his own safety or to maintain deterrence, these rebels would never have brought only their escorts. At that time, Hantu City's vigilance will inevitably be much lax, and that is the best chance to rescue His Highness Anson!

"The approach is good, but ...... What if they bring His Highness Anson with them?" the silver-haired wizard raised an eyebrow, "Aren't we still going to tie our hands?"

"If they bring His Highness with them, they will be real fools - don't forget, who is the Duke of Hantu City, who is the real ruler of this land!" Edward sneered, "As soon as Anson stands up, they will be abandoned by the soldiers immediately!" (To be continued.) )
