"Okay, summon the head of the family to the hall and prepare for deliberation. Bakari nodded and let the subordinates go down, the arrival of the temple envoy was something he expected, because there was a problem with the supply of war horses, the temple sent people to urge more than once, and this time the rebellion temple sent three envoys in a row, for what, everyone knew very well in their hearts, and now the meaning of the temple is also very obvious, that is, as much as possible, and as quickly as possible to provide war horses for the temple, although the Kotler Empire is a magic empire, but the role of cavalry in conquering the city is still not to be underestimated, so they naturally value the resources that the Winston family can provide for the templeγ
If it was in the past, even Bakari would have directly agreed to this kind of thing, but now the situation is different, there is an additional Crescent Moon Province between the Holy Capital and Winston Province, and he has also united the other two eastern border provinces, so that the possibility that he wants to supply horses for the temple is almost cut off, and the ghost has never given a clear answer, it is said that no envoy from the temple has gone to the Crescent Moon Province until now, after all, His Royal Highness the Second Prince of the Kotler Empire is there, everyone knows, so no one dares to move for the time being.
And the surrounding lords have had enough of the bastard lord of the ghost, not to mention anything else, just to say that none of these envoys of the temple have gone through hardships and detours, and that bastard of Thorev actually killed the temple envoy directly, which means that the two largest provinces around Winston Province have become hostile forces, and they are quite difficult to deal with.
The relevant head of the family soon responded to the call, and when he arrived in the hall, Bakari looked a little surprised and said: "Why are there two people missing? Didn't I say that there is going to be a discussion?" After speaking, Bakari snorted coldly, but at this time, a middle-aged man with a cross scar on his face said: "The two of them are still on the road, and some spies reported that there were some unusual footprints on the other side of the province, they went yesterday, and they should be able to come back at this time today." β
Bakari nodded, but there was a lot of reluctance in his heart, this man with a cross scar was one of his cousins, and he was also one of the most popular candidates on the issue of family succession, so openly and secretly, the relationship between the two was not too harmonious.
"The purpose of convening you here today must be clear to you, that is, our position, and it is necessary to make a choice now. As soon as these words came out, more than a dozen principals in the entire hall immediately discussed, everyone knew that the temple sent an envoy to come, and there was only one purpose, that is, to win over the Winston family, and in the past, the Winston family cooperated with the temple, logically speaking, this should not be a matter worth discussing, but why did Bakari say this?
Doesn't he intend to cooperate with the Temple?
"Patriarch, what do you mean by that?" The man with the cross scarface was the first to stand up and sneered and said: "The family has been cooperating with the temple for a long time, and now the temple has sent an envoy, clearly to cooperate with us and win us over, now that even the holy capital has become a lonely city, it is a matter of time before the city is broken, is there still a need to discuss this matter?"
As soon as he spoke, several of the principals around him who supported him immediately nodded in agreement, and even the few principals who had been supporting Bakari were also nodding silently, the current trend is naturally to cooperate with the temple as the best choice, what are the plans of Bakari at this time?
"Jamie, you sit down first. Bakari raised his hand slightly and pressed it, and the cross-scar man named Jamie snorted coldly, but sat back down, and the hall returned to its initial calm.
Bakari got up from his seat and said with a relaxed face: "What you think is naturally what I think, it is also my wish to get more sponsorship from the temple to develop the family, but I think more about how we can provide resources for the temple, after all, this is the biggest problem we are facing, and we can agree to the problems that we want to discuss, but we have no spare energy to do it." β
In just a few words, the original lively atmosphere of the entire hall was brought to a dull one, and naturally brought the thoughts of these people into reality, on the back of the Winston family, a neighbor who never played cards according to common sense was in the way of the door, and how difficult it was to pass by, this was also the reality they had to face.
"Now that the Crescent Moon Province has implemented border martial law, our people can't enter at all, and I don't know why, the information that the inside line can provide is starting to become less and less, I think it won't be long before we will lose the final intelligence information on the Crescent Moon Province, and this is not good news for us, but one thing is certain, that is, the unscrupulous lord Ghost Ugly is not in the Crescent Moon City, and may not even be in the Crescent Moon Province!"
The person who said these words was the head of the family who specialized in managing intelligence, since the Crescent Moon Province came to this mysterious and elusive lord, Bakari put most of the power of intelligence on this neighbor, and Bakari alone planted more than once in the hands of this ghost lord, even if the ghost was not there at the time, a single strategy made him return home, so deep down, Bakari already has some fear of the ghost ugly, but on the other side he has a ** to defeat the ghost ugly, and it is getting stronger and stronger.
He couldn't understand why a person who was not very strong could lead the people who supported him so much, what means did he use, but the stronger the military power is an indisputable fact, what is even more infuriating and confusing is that those soldiers with strong combat effectiveness are actually slaves, which is a shame for the Winston family cavalry, who are all family elites, the existence of the slave army alone is already a shame, and it is a great shame to be defeated under the hands of this infantry.
Therefore, it is very pleasant to promise the temple, but it is very difficult to help the temple.
"We don't know where the ghost is, what kind of conspiracy is going on, but the temple is waiting for us to make a decision right now, and we must do something, at least we have to delay the time, at least let the temple cooperate, otherwise we will not be able to do it ourselves. An old man with a gray head and a beard spoke out directly, and his statement was agreed by some people, but some people still raised objections.
"Actually, we have no choice for a long time, after all, the Winston family has been standing in the same boat with the temple before we are born, and now we get off the boat, then we can only die by ourselves, I don't expect the demonic beasts in the water to be kind enough to let go, and the time to choose is limited, after the Holy Capital is broken, our choice becomes irrelevant, but we will make a choice now...... I really can't help the temple, this damn ugly!" This is the opinion of the chief in charge of the special war horse breeding, and his idea has been agreed by most people, no matter which force, they all think that the Winston family wears the same pants as the temple, but they never thought about why the temple sent an envoy to the Winston family like other provinces after the national turmoil?
Others may not think of anything, but the people of the Winston family know that the temple does not fully trust the family because of the years of transactions, so it is normal for the Winston family to be suspicious of the temple.
"Since we all think that we should help the temple, then we should think about how to deal with the current situation, is there anything you want to say?" Bakari knew in his heart that this was the real priority, although he was the patriarch of the family, he could not do without the support of these principals, and the current problem was the problem faced by the family, and personal disputes must be put aside.
"I suggest a detour, the situation in the Crescent Moon Province is unknown now, it is always right to be cautious, if we clash head-on with the Crescent Moon Province, we will not only face the Crescent Moon Province, but also the other two provinces that have been married will also become our enemies. One of the principals who had been able to get Bakari's understanding said with some hesitation.
A few people nodded, but more of the principals were thinking and didn't express their position immediately, but that Jamie's snorted directly and said, "Coward, there is a slave army in the Crescent Moon Province, don't we have enough troops to match it?" If I want to say it, I will fight it directly, and directly occupy this Crescent Moon Province, and take the magic crystal vein in my own hands in order to obtain greater and more abundant capital, my personal idea is to fight, directly capture the Crescent Moon Province, as long as it is taken, the two people next to it will have no backbone, and they will naturally succumb. β
"But after all, there is still His Royal Highness the Second Prince in the Crescent Moon Province, if anything happens, we will be jointly defeated by other lords, even if the Temple can save us, but it is impossible to say if we can save a few, so I think we can negotiate with the Crescent Moon Province. β
"Old man, if you don't feel comfortable, you can, but if you dare to insult the family's reputation, I, Jamie, will be the first to kill you!" Jamie's eyes stared at the old master who had already been a long time old, but unfortunately, the other party was unmoved, and it was useless to see that intimidation was useless, so Jamie sat back angrily.
The hall suddenly began to be lively again, and Bakari, who returned to the position of the patriarch, quietly watched the more intense discussion, and couldn't help but rub his temples, feeling a little regretful in his heart, every time he had a meeting, it would be the same as the vegetable market, and now he was facing such a serious problem, and it was still like this, and this discussion probably didn't have a head.
Since the Crescent Moon Province was taken over by the ghost ugly, it has become a thorn in the heart of the Winston family, if it is not pulled out, it will inevitably endanger life, and now if you don't bear to cut the flesh in pain, it will be yourself who will die at that time!
"Alright, shut up......" Bakari coughed heavily, and the sound of the whole hall began to slowly recede, and Bakari, who was satisfied with his prestige, was just about to speak, when he heard a loud shout outside, and two figures came straight to the hall.
"The current intruder on the border of the province, the Scarlet Skull Banner, is the troops of the Crescent Moon Province!"
