The Grand Duke of the East walks inside the castle of the Conference.

The doubts on his face did not decrease, but increased.

The believers of the Temple of Elim are indeed all over the kingdom continent, whether it is the four major realms or the remote high seas, there are believers in glorious ghosts and gods.

Eastside is no exception.

But......

As the ten most powerful directors in the Eastern Realm, as a group of beings closest to the level of ghosts and gods, they clearly knew that it was not a good thing to believe in glorious ghosts and gods.

The royal family of the Eli Empire allowed the development of the Temple of Elim, and on the surface it seemed that the royal power and the divine power coexisted and exchanged friendly relations, but in fact, the royal family wanted to destroy all the churches and destroy the temples so that the royal power could be exclusive.

In this case, their group of the largest nobles in the East, in order to avoid suspicion, cannot openly stand on the side of the Elim Temple, otherwise no matter how weak the royal family's control over this place is, it will let the Iron Horse walk all over the East.

The Grand Duke of the East is puzzled, did the group of people from Count Wren be kicked in the brain by a donkey? Someone in particular dared to openly carry the things of faith in the temple.

If this is discovered by the second prince, Bao Bu will choose to report to the royal family.

No way.

The problems of this group of people must be pointed out at the board meeting to ensure the position of the East.

With this in mind.

The Grand Duke of the East quickly stepped into the conference room.

On the round table.

There were ten people seated.

Earl of Rennes, Earl Morgan, Earl Gerov, Red-haired Earl......

Marquis of the Lion, Marquis of Gold and Silver, Marquis of Payne.

Six counts, three marquises, a total of nine.

And the rest of the person, calmly sitting in the first row of the first seat, blonde hair and golden eyes symbolize his status as the prince of the Eli Empire, his good facial features are full of arrogance, and the delicate clothes embroidered with gold and silver threads are worn on him, and a ruby the size of a pigeon's egg is pinned to the neckline, and two emeralds are also decorated on the wrists, and the whole person looks extremely luxurious.

It is His Royal Highness the Second Prince of the Eli Empire.

The Grand Duke of the Eastern Frontier nodded slightly at the other party.

Then set your eyes on the audience.

He was about to raise his objection to the "cross" when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the three marquis on his left and right hands, with a cross hanging from his neck.

？

When he hits this question mark, it's not that he has a problem, it's that he feels that the other person has a problem.

Nima.

What are you doing on horseback?

A group of counts can do this, forget it, the three of you are marquises, you are ghosts and gods, looking at the entire kingdom continent, you are also at the pinnacle of existence, even if you face the glorious ghosts and gods, it is not that you have no right to speak.

But you thick-eyed people have also hung the cross of faith in the Temple of Elim?

What's the matter.

The aristocracy is tired of doing it and is ready to become a believer?

Gan!

What's going on here?

No reason.

The Grand Duke of the Eastern Realm had a bad premonition in his heart.

The blood-red eyes kept sweeping over the three marquis of Angry Lion, Gold and Silver, and Payne.

It's as if to say: You guys are deliberately playing with me.

Marquis of Payne: ......

He had a smile on his face that was uglier than crying.

I wanted to say something, but thinking about the "Death Gift Package" that Shen Jian said before, I swallowed the words back.

No longer look into the eyes of the Grand Duke of the East.

The rest of the people do the same.

or spare your head, or wipe cold sweat, or bow your head, or look away...... But no one dared to take off the cross on their own initiative.

Time.

The atmosphere fell into an eerie silence.

The eyes of the Grand Duke of the Eastern Realm were even more different.

Wrong.

The situation is really wrong.

He knew the group of directors, and because of this, he knew that the attitude of this group of people was not at all like they had worn the cross voluntarily, but as if they had been forced.

But......

In the eastern realm, who has the ability to force the nine nobles who are at least the top ghost kings to "volunteer"?

The thought turned.

The Grand Duke of the Eastern Realm also swallowed back his words, and then changed the topic: "After a few days of decision-making, you should have already made your own judgments, and now you will vote by a show of hands on the "strategy for the southern border" proposed by His Royal Highness the Second Prince. ”

"As a duke, I will set an example first, and I agree with the second prince's proposal."

After speaking.

He looked at the others.

Under normal circumstances, as long as he first shows his hand to vote on his decision, the other directors will hold the same opinion as him.

After all.

Their interests are aligned.

And in terms of the southern border, the eastern border has a lot to do.

First of all, the southern border is right next door to the eastern border, and it is easy to infiltrate or lurk.

Secondly, the ambition of the four princes to occupy the southern realm, deprive the nobles of their interests, and vainly try to become the lord of the southern realm was disliked by the nobles, and no nobles wanted to see a prince who encroached on the interests of the nobles ascend to the throne.

In the end, the second prince had reached a certain agreement with him, and he would give up a large amount of benefits to the eastern realm.

So.

This made him choose to support the second prince.

……

The other side.

The second prince's face also showed a bit of gloom.

In order to impress the largest duke in the East, he spent a lot of effort and promised to ascend the throne in the future, so that the East would be completely autonomous, and indirectly caused the Eli Empire to lose a piece of territory.

But......

He doesn't care.

As long as you can win the victory of the trial of the king, it is not an unacceptable reality to give up the eastern realm.

Moreover.

He had no other choice.

He was driven to madness when he learned that his fourth brother, known as the "Prince of Waste", had taken possession of Eagle City and was about to become the Lord of the South.

I don't understand how the fourth brother, who was bullied by him since he was a child, managed to rise as a waste.

He had also heard a lot of speculation about the Four Princes.

For example, the impression of the fourth prince's incompetence is pretended, and he has secretly done a good job of primitive accumulation, just waiting for the time to be ripe and make a splash.

on this.

He didn't believe it.

He didn't believe that the fourth brother who had been bullied by him since he was a child and cried, and didn't even dare to look up at him, had such forbearance and ambition.

He suspected that there were traces of other organizations behind the fourth prince.

The so-called Lord of the South is nothing more than a puppet who has been pushed to the forefront.

And what he has to do now is to muddy the waters of the southern realm and expose the clues of this mysterious organization.

In this matter, he is very confident.

After all.

The Grand Duke of the East has publicly supported him, and even if the other directors have a complaint, they will not speak against him in the open.

The last second, he thought so.

The next second, his face froze.

Because after the vote by a show of hands in the Eastern Realm, the remaining nine directors all bowed their heads in silence.

The meaning of this is already obvious.

Nine of them disagreed.

What's going on?

The second prince was a little confused.

Although he has been focusing on the Duke of the East during this time, he has also been in contact with other people, and he doesn't seem to have done anything to offend this group of directors, right?

Why don't all of them agree?

There are also such doubts, and the Grand Duke of the Eastern Realm himself.

At this time, a trace of sweat glands had oozed from his back.

Eccentric.

It's weird.

From the moment he arrived in the conference room, nothing had gone right.

The silence of the nine directors now magnifies this to the extreme.

That's when it happened.

A ghostly voice sounded.

"Nine to one, the decision does not pass, now, let's start the second proposal."

The words fell.

On the other end of the round table, on the first place.

A figure suddenly appeared and sat down.

The person who came had blonde hair and golden eyes exactly like the second prince, and a smile erupted on his handsome and distinct facial features.

The blood-stained hemp rope on his wrist rose up, as if to tell the emotions of his master.

This moment.

There was a dead silence.

Until the second prince's pupils shrank, he stood up violently, and said in horror: "Four, fourth royal brother?!" You...... How did you end up here! ”

His tone couldn't hide his shock.

Almost roared out.

Paranormal fluctuations escape uncontrollably.

It expresses his unrest at the moment.

At the board meeting of the Eastern Noble Freemasonry, the four royal brothers of the Southern Realm suddenly appeared here, and their gestures were all flamboyant and contemptive.

It's so unusual.

and the four royal brothers in his memory, they are completely like two people.

Let him lose his mind.

Thoughts are in disarray.

I heard Shen Jian open his mouth and said quietly: "The second proposal, vote by show of hands: kick the second prince out of the eastern realm." ”

"Who's in favor? Who is against? ”

Let's talk about it.

The second prince saw that the nine directors who had been silent before, whether they were earls or marquises, all raised their hands at the first time, as if they were afraid that if they were slow to raise for a second, they would suffer unimaginable torture.

That moment.

His face was green.

Dare to love you coercion, you have already been subdued by the fourth prince.

When was this?

Why don't I know anything about riding a horse?

You've done a great job of secrecy.

What kind of aristocrat is this, how good it is to go undercover directly.

Just thinking about it.

He looked sharply at the Grand Duke of the East.

There is a strong expectation in his eyes.

The Duke of the East had a veto power, and as long as the Grand Duke used this power, the so-called proposal would not hold.

And he had promised so many conditions, he didn't believe that the Grand Duke of the Eastern Realm could hold back this doubt.

Sure enough.

On the first seat at the other end, the Grand Duke of the Eastern Territory stared at Shen Jian opposite, with a gloomy expression of "You kid bribed other directors, but only omitted me, do you look down on me".

He was about to use his veto power to frustrate the fourth prince's plan, and in the next second, Shen Jian had already said faintly: "Grand Duke, you have to think clearly, your nine directors in the eastern realm are already on my side, even if you veto my proposal, the situation will not change in any way, do you veto this matter, can you veto other things?" I can even get this group of people to unconditionally support the South and empty the East. ”

Hear this.

The Grand Duke of the East paused.

He looked at the other nine in disbelief.

No.

I originally thought that you were just bought by the fourth prince, but now that you listen to this, what do you mean unconditionally is to support the fourth prince? The kind that can even give away your own benefits?

Emma.

What are your weaknesses that are being caught? Need to compromise like this?

Nine Directors: ......

The corners of their mouths twitched.

He bowed his head in shame.

It's too insulting to the ghost.

These four princes don't save any face for them.

They have not suffered such a disgrace since they became ghosts.

The Grand Duke of the Eastern Frontier saw this.

A sentence comes to mind: If you are not afraid of god-like opponents, you are afraid of pig-like teammates.

Originally, I wanted to take off with the entire eastern border, but I never thought that my home was stolen.

The teammates who defended the house were turned back, and the spring was blocked by the enemy.
