Chapter 0136: Farewell
The Danube Province changed its flag, and the town of Red Leaves could not stand alone. It means that a noble lord like the Iris family who is still loyal to Plantagenet and has not rebelled will lose their territory directly.
The territory and castle that have been cultivated for many years are not something that can be abandoned casually.
Baron Aureno clenched his fists: "Look at the negotiations between Plantagenet and the Danube, Lord Browning signaled that the king will not treat the loyal knights badly." Therefore, even if Momiji is lost, the Imperial Barony status of the Iris family will not be lost, and the king will canonize the new territory. ”
"But what about the ripe fields that have been cultivated in Red Leaf Town for many years, as well as those civilians in the territory?"
"Take everything you can take away, and take what you can't take away...... It may be possible to sell it to the Grand Duchy of the Danube at a discount, but this requires the endorsement of the Plantagenet Kingdom and must be taken back at the negotiating table. ”
"I didn't expect it to be such a result, this time the war against Lima Xiongling, not only did not gain anything, but on the contrary, there were so many losses."
The baron said excitedly: "As long as you work hard to cultivate, the Iris family will have its own day of revival, now remember to be cautious in your words and deeds, everything is led by Lord Browning, you are just his student, just follow him quietly." The old and new forces have changed, and even I am not sure to avoid the hidden crisis. ”
"Father, please rest assured, I will not get involved in anything easily, and I will stand on whatever side my father stands on...... Oh yes, little Versailles has changed its flag, Uncle Ottem's side, what will be the situation, does my father have a news channel? ”
"No, but I'm sure Oldem will make the right choice."
"Uncle Hector's side, I don't know what the situation is, and Brother-in-law Alva's side."
"Don't worry about Alva, he follows the knights of the Purple Finch, and his safety is enough to ensure it. As for Hect, the Eagle Strike Sky Family is also not easy to mess with. Since the Grand Duchy of the Danube has declared its founding, it will definitely not offend too many nobles, otherwise there will be a deep blood feud, and even the king will not be able to stop it. ”
"Then I'll be relieved." Aldington said.
In fact, when he thought about it carefully, he felt that all this was quite child's play, and for the nobles, rebellion was like redividing the sphere of influence. The Rock Family betrayed like this, and the Knights of the Plantagenet Kingdom who were encamped here were still eating the food sent by the other party.
It's a bit of a homely feel.
But this is the essence of knightly civilization, vassals of vassals are not my vassals, today they grab each other's territory, and tomorrow they will have ballroom balls. Everyone is a nobleman, with endless benefits, there is no need to cling to your life-and-death hatred. The death of the two Phantom Beast Knights was enough to put an end to this battlefield.
……
Five days.
Aldington spent five days in the camp outside the Grey Iron Castle, and every day different information came in, except for the news that only Browning could know.
The entire Danube Plain has fallen, and the Grand Duchy of the Danube has risen from the ground, making the Plantagenet Kingdom and the Macedonian Kingdom angry, and the dragon knights, magicians, and prophets have all arrived here. But Maxwell was not alone, he also had the support of the Gallic Empire, as well as the alliance of the Council of the God of War in Lima Ridge.
None of the three parties could help the other, and the end result was that the two kingdoms refused to recognize the Grand Duchy of the Danube, but the three parties signed a peace agreement.
This means that the war will not be fought this year.
So the next step is to negotiate with each other to expand interests and reduce losses, and the negotiations are expected to continue for a while.
At the same time, the servants and servants of Butterfly Castle also arrived from Momiji Town, bringing the latest situation in Momiji Town. The city of Horseshoe Pearl fell, and the former administrator Snowden became Baron Snowden of the Grand Duchy of the Danube. The Knights formed and surrounded Butterfly Castle.
With the signing of the peace agreement between the three countries, Baron Snowden tore off the encirclement, but declared that all farmland, civilians except Fort Butterfly, belonged to the Grand Duchy of the Danube.
"Master, young master, Lord Ortem is imprisoned in the dungeon of Little Versailles, and Madame Fran and Master Ostru are taken away by the servants of the Puwei family. However, Madame Fran left a letter that she would beg Baron Louis to release Master Oldem and bring back Master Ostro. ”
The servant reported.
Baron Aureno nodded: "Fran has made the right choice, the members of our Iris family will definitely end up in the Plantagenet Kingdom." ”
"Mother and grandmother are all right?"
"The old lady was a little frightened, mainly worried about you and the lord, some of them couldn't eat, the lady is very strong, presiding over the operation of the Butterfly Castle to prevent the rebel knights from attacking the castle. However, many of the people in the territory were plundered, and even many crops in the fields were harvested. ”
"It's good that people don't have anything, the families of the knights and servants haven't been plundered, right?"
"Madame immediately brought the families of the knights and servants to Butterfly Castle, except for the young men who were in the field, all the family members stayed in the castle."
"I'll write a letter, and you can bring it back to Madame."
"Yes, sir."
Baron Aureno wrote hard, and a letter from home was taken away by his servants. And he and Aldington will continue to stay in the camp, waiting for the final outcome of the negotiations. Fast forward from early October to mid-October, and Aldington suddenly received an invitation from Dulick.
Invite him to be a guest in the Castle of Grey Iron.
After asking Browning for instructions, he entered the Grey Iron Castle.
"Aldington, it's not easy to see you." There is a noticeable difference in Dulick's temperament, "There are so many things that I need to deal with lately. ”
Aldington quietly activated the evil condensation supernatural power, and saw that Duric already had the lines outlined by the power of nature, and quickly understood that this was the beginning of Duric's contract with the Phantom Beast, and in about two or three years, he would definitely be promoted to the Phantom Beast Knight, and it was possible to complete it before the age of thirty.
"Sir, you and I belong to two countries, and I have no reason to come to see you."
"Yes, they belong to two countries, but after all, you and I have a teacher-student friendship for more than seven years, and I don't want to become alienated because of the change of identity."
"Sir, can you tell me why the Rock Family made such a choice?" Aldington saw that the other party was still very emotional, so he asked his doubts, "With the status of the Rock Family, can the Grand Duchy of the Danube give better conditions, at least the title will not be increased." ”
"This, I can't explain to you, I can only say that after weighing the pros and cons, the family chose Archduke Maxwell. I was going to persuade you, but I think Baron Aureno won't agree, so today is a meal between our teachers and students, and I'm afraid it won't be easy to see you later. ”
"Ugh."
Aldington sighed, then ate a tasteless meal at the Grey Iron Castle and waved goodbye to Dulick.
