(Thanks to arttpγIt's really a good book reward.,In addition, ask for a click to recommend a collection.,Three for ha)
The night is dark and the wind is high.
The noise of the day is gone, and Castle Twilight falls into a deep sleep.
The tall wooden stake in the open space in front of the drawbridge finally had a new user - the two bodies of Amos and the dead man hung on it for the murder of Baron AndrΓ©, rippling slightly in the night breeze, one fat and one thin.
Baron Andrei was murdered?!
After learning the reason why these two new icons were hung up, it was like a thunderclap on the heads of all the residents of Winterdusk Castle, and the people who were driven out of the core tower were a little messy, which made the people of Winterdusk Castle panic, and all the residents felt that the death of these two people was just the beginning, and the turmoil caused by the murder of one lord was far from over.
The storm is coming.
Due to the events that may affect the entire Wintertwilight Castle today, the lights out time in the living area and miscellaneous areas are much earlier, and the tavern that was originally the hottest business at this time is also much deserted, and there are a few drinkers sitting around the corner whispering, privately speculating about how much turmoil today's incident will bring to Winterdusk Castle. And the prostitutes in the taverns, who were wearing heavy makeup, had lost their spirits, and their business was much worse, so that they secretly cursed the people who caused it, and the sex was not going to be good.
The wind was strong, and the two black shadows hanging in the air swayed a lot more.
Lovren withdrew his gaze from the two dark shadows in the distant air, and gently closed the window, and the environment in the room suddenly warmed up without the cool night breeze entering.
Walking to the table, pulling out a chair, and sitting down, Lovren looked at Carlos and Luo Lucy, who were silent on the side, and took the lead in breaking the silence: "What do you think about this matter?"
"Either Earl Carter or the nobles who were with him, there is no doubt about it. Luo Lucy's face was haggard, as if she had suddenly aged a few years.
Carlos, on the other hand, blushed and didn't say anything, but it was like that, showing that he and Luo Lucy were on the same page.
"I know what you're thinking, but do we have a way out?" Lovren sighed, "Lotsy, you've met Earl Carter a few times, and your husband's family has worked with him, so you should know what kind of person he is." β
"Mora's Carter, that is, a hyena that will never be full, only profit and no faith. Whenever possible, he would swallow his partner together, and there would not be a single bone left. Luo Luxi looked at her two brothers and said helplessly: "We are too optimistic this time, and we also overestimate the pressure that our background can give him, that hyena will never let go of any of the opportunities that can get more, as long as the time is a foregone conclusion, no one can help him." β
"Carlos, I know you're not reconciled, but now we have no choice. Lovren patted Carlos on the shoulder.
"At the beginning, Carter approached us to cooperate, and we made trade-offs, as long as we took over the power of the territory, coupled with the help behind us, it was possible for Carter not to dare to speak and get our share of the benefits, after all, this thing is too big for one person to eat. But I didn't expect that this cunning guy actually laid a trap at the beginning, originally I just thought that he had been staring at his father to know his father's physical condition for the first time, after all, his father's age had arrived, but I didn't expect it to be caused by him.
According to the original plan, once we seize control of the territory with the help of Carter, as long as the territory is stabilized, he releases the information that his father was poisoned, and then uses the two people who are now hanging in the sky as witnesses, then we will all be doomed, and Carter can re-establish a person and control the territory, plus the union of the nobles on his side, even the royal family can't do anything about him.
But now even if those two people are exposed, the suspicion has been carried on our backs, as long as we continue to follow the plan, then there will still be no second way for us, and no one will believe us no matter what we say now.
But can we go back? No!
How much did the people and families behind us pay for this? If we retreated, we might be able to live, but what is the difference between that and death?
Needless to say, let's just say Luo Luxi, her husband's family has invested at least 300,000 gold Royer, once she withdraws out, causing the money to go down the drain, not only her, but her husband and children will be implicated.
And what about you, you will definitely not be able to keep your current position in the army, and all your dreams will be shattered, are you willing?"
Carlos and Lovren looked at each other for a moment before nodding and saying in a hoarse voice, "I understand, brother, what are we going to do next?"
"We can't rely on Carter this time, and we have to act before Carter launches and take control of the territory. Lovren said categorically.
"And what about the future? How do we deal with Carter's counterattack? Without Carter's help, how can we withstand the pressure of the royal family?" asked Lucy Rose.
"Join the royal family and give the royal family what Carter and his people want most!"
"Lovren, you're crazy! Gehr is the front desk of the royal family, how can the royal family only favor Gehr compared to us, how can that side accept us?" Luo Lucy looked incredulous.
"That's Ger still alive, what if he's dead?" the oil lamp exploded a sparkle that caused the lamp to tremble slightly, casting several black shadows on Lovren's face.
"Dead?" both Rolucy and Carlos' eyes flickered, lost in thought.
"Yes, it's dead, if the royal family wants that thing, who else can they rely on us?what's the use of feelings?What kind of virtues those nobles are, you don't know, as long as there are enough benefits that make them tempted and even red-eyed, what does a Gehr count?" Lovren's voice rose in vain, and his face lacked a sparkling color. Moreover, the advantage of defecting to the royal family over joining Carter's side is that the royal family's strength in the north is too small, and if we want stable income, we will inevitably give up a considerable share of it, and if we want to continue to fight Carter, we will definitely increase our support! The most important thing is that it will be our personal and not the ...... of the family behind us."
The more Luo Luxi listened, the brighter her eyes became, and she couldn't help but stretch out her bright red tongue and lick her somewhat dry lips, and said in a somewhat dry voice: "I think this method is okay, but the original distribution plan needs to be changed." β
"That's for sure, I'll talk about that later, Carlos, what do you mean?"
After a moment of silence, Carlos replied in the affirmative: "I agree. β
"That's good, as long as the three of us work together, this crisis may be the biggest opportunity of our lives!" Lovren stood up excitedly, circled around the table a few times, and then sat down to try to control the fluctuation of his voice and said: "I have calculated that if we join the royal family, we can probably divide the interests of about two tiers." I will take 20 percent of this part of the interest, but I will inherit the title, and each of you will have 35 percent, how about it?"
"And the other ten percent?" asked Lucy Rossi.
"Wait a minute, what do you think of this plan?"
"Yes, but all processing and trade channels must be handed over to me. Luo Luxi closed her eyes and calculated, then opened her eyes and said.
"I agree with this, Carlos, what about you?"
"I agree, but I need Colbenson as my rear fulcrum, and my share is all exchanged for armaments and supplies to support my war with the barbarians. β
"No problem, Luo Lucy can help with supplies. β
"Of course, I'd love to, my brother. Luo Luxi narrowed her eyes excitedly, the military trade, the circulation channels plus all her share, roughly calculated, that number was enough to make her cardiac arrest.
"So how do you deal with Gehr? If we don't deal with him, all we think is illusory. Now the fourth floor is occupied by the five knights who are following him, and if we want to kill him, we must rush through the five knights, and in this small environment, even I am not sure. Carlos frowned and asked a realistic question.
Lotsie was also concerned about this question, so she turned her gaze to Lovelen, waiting for his answer.
"I'll admit that I underestimated Gehr and didn't even see his personality before. But he has a hard injury, and he has not been systematically trained for a long time, what kind of strength can a sixteen-year-old boy have? can only rely on the protection of outsiders, Carlos, do you say?"
"That's right, if you let me get close, I can pinch him to death with one hand. Carlos nodded, in an affirmative tone.
Lovren smiled mysteriously: "In this case, as long as we can make the strength around Gehr not work, then we can easily solve Gehr, and I happen to know that there is such a person in Gehr." β
"Could it be him?" Rolucy wondered, there was only one person she knew in her head who matched Lovelen's description, but this person she had never considered being pulled to her side.
"Lucy Ro, you're right, it's him. We may not be able to detect all the things after his father's poisoning, so he will not be able to figure it out? Since he has not come out, how much loyalty do you think he will have to the Colbenson family? I heard that he has always wanted to help his wasted son get a knight title and a corresponding fief, but the money he got is probably not even a fraction of the money, and the ten percent just now is prepared for him. β
"In that case, I'm fine. Luo Luxi suddenly, then smiled, and the chair with a stretched body returned to the image of an elegant lady.
"I'm fine. Carlos nodded.
"Well, I've decided to communicate with him during the day tomorrow and start the action at night, so as not to have too many dreams at night. Lovren tapped his finger on the table a few times, organized his words, and continued: "The mercenary group I hired has infiltrated the territory, and I originally wanted to arrange an attack in disguise for the rogues, but I am not sure, so I will transfer them to participate in the operation tomorrow night. But the more force you can use, the better, Carlos, Lucy, what about you?"
"I brought ten elite private soldiers, and in the village outside, I transferred them to join in, they are all trained to fight against knights, and there is no problem in dragging those five knights. In addition, I personally brought someone over to kill Geer to make an insurance. Carlos said.
"I have only five guards, all under your command. Luo Lucy also contributed her strength.
"Very good, with the participation of you who is close to the strength of the Great Knight, everything is foolproof. When the time came, we announced that he had died of a sudden illness, and I took over the title and wrote to the royal family. It's just that Carter's private soldiers may already be on the way, and there may be the amount of military force he has mobilized, Carlos, do you have a solution?"
"I can mobilize my squadron, and with the defense capabilities of Fort Winterdusk, there is no problem in temporarily blocking Carter's private soldiers, and when my squadron arrives, it will be safe. β
"Very good, as long as we pass this hurdle, our dreams can come true, come, let's have a toast to this!"
Seeing that all the difficulties had been solved, Lovren excitedly took out a bottle of wine and three glasses from the cabinet, opened the wine bottles and poured them one by one.
"!"
The three wine glasses met in the air under the control of three hands, and the mellow wine rippling in the glasses turned red under the reflection of the light, like blood and fire......
