"Sit down and let me introduce you. These three are Baron Doroy, Baron Crimmond and Baron Haianfas." Larov said to the nobles, "They are all powerful brave men."
"Well, Your Highness." A nobleman said slowly, "We will express our position, you can rest assured of this. Marize City, Polya City and Cross City are on your side. Wait until you After returning from the establishment of Tiger Step City, you will find that Bruce City and Cleo City are also ready. The western cities of the Atak Empire will soon be under your command."
"Yes, we can easily grasp the throat of the economy. As long as you nod, we can strangle His Highness Hadawa's financial lifeline." Another noble also took the opportunity to say, "The rich coast of the Polya River is in our hands. .¡±
"Very good, let me think about it, the position of city lord of the western cities is ready to be handed over to some nobles who know how to judge the situation." Larov smiled, "You are all outstanding nobles of the Atak Empire, I guess you are all It has such advantages.¡±
"Of course, please forgive us for resigning, Your Highness." The nobles stood up one after another, and they walked out of the tent one after another, with various expressions on their faces. After all the footsteps faded away, Larov breathed a sigh of relief.
"They are all local aristocratic forces and have long coveted several cities in the western plains. They have great power and can control the trade and commerce of several cities to a certain extent, but how can they be satisfied with this?" Larov said slowly, "After I ascend the throne, it will be cost-effective to give those cities to them in exchange for their support for me at this stage."
"They are not fools. They must know that the position of city lord obtained in this way is not secure. In the near future, they will be a force that cannot be ignored and may threaten His Highness." Jestang said, his intuition was very keen.
"Of course, I will show them my force and let them understand that after sitting in the position of city lord and getting enough wealth for them to enjoy until they die, it is time to abdicate." Larov said, "If they If you are still dissatisfied, then you have to consider changing to someone else. I think those nobles understand the stakes."
"How could they join our side so willingly." Lear questioned.
"It is suspected that the eldest prince was sent to create an illusion, but even if they make a superficial surrender, it is enough to frighten the vast majority of the little nobles who do not know what is going on. During this period, we cannot let go of any of them. Help." Larov said, "In the future, when the demon army is defeated, it will be time for me and the great prince to face a decisive battle. Therefore, conserving strength is a very necessary measure. There are four political, economic, military, and supervisory measures. We must all take control of it.¡±
"It's not easy." Jestang glanced at Leer, and he still remembered that Leer had made a very grand plan. Like the game of chess, the druid laid out a game on a national level.
In Lier¡¯s plan, they first need to gain strong economic strength and control one of the cities in the west to obtain strong financial backing. Later, he received the assistance of Anderst Prison to eliminate dissidents. His plan was so fanciful that Jessdown thought it was unbelievable at first - but it was also a very good idea. Lear has already planned the entire general situation. At present, all he has to do is find ways to make what happens next work according to Lear's plan.
Of course, it¡¯s easier said than done.
Now, what Larov means is that these nobles in the western economic zone are using their value. After Larov ascends to the throne, these nobles will be paid, and finally kick them away and replace them with real ones who are against Larov. A loyal husband. As for this matter, Jestang wanted to bring it forward and changed "loyal to Ralof" to "loyal to Jestang".
"What is that 'bad order'?" Jestang asked.
"Hubu City is surrounded by a demon army. They are evenly matched in terms of military strength. However, because communications have been cut off and supplies cannot be delivered, there is now a general panic among the people. Generalissimo Brussels suggested that we take a small boat that is not noticed by others. , follow the Kuang River into Hubu City, and encourage the local soldiers and civilians. It will probably only take a little more than three days, because the river has not yet frozen. Hubu City must not fall, otherwise the demons will receive sufficient supplies."
"Sure enough, it is a bad order, let us pass through the defense line of the demon army!" Bert shouted, "Your Highness, the Second Prince, I think this may be a conspiracy. We are neither birds nor salmon, how can we be in the demon army?" Go to Hubu City right before our eyes? This is obviously something we can¡¯t do, isn¡¯t it?¡±
"But the order can no longer be changed." Larov also found it a bit difficult."This is a very difficult task, but once completed, it can be proven to others that Larov succeeded in what Hadawa could not do."
"Three small boats that can carry twenty people, if they can get the support of the defenders, they should be able to successfully enter Tiger Step City." Bastanai said, "The wind and snow can cover our whereabouts, and the defenders' lighthouse It makes sure we don¡¯t sink.¡±
"But the wind can also blow our sails." Shiluo objected, "When I was crossing the strait on a large ship, I encountered a snowstorm, and the entire ship was blown from the mouth of the Coranco River. Went to the divine path."
"It is indeed inappropriate to sail ships in winter." Larov said firmly, "But Tiger Step City must be saved."
"It's up to you." Bert stood up and saluted, "Since His Highness has made up his mind, we men don't have to look forward and backward, guessing about the various dangers we may encounter - we will understand when we get there."
"We are not worried that our ship will be destroyed by wind and waves." Roland stood up and saluted, "God is protecting us."
"How many days are you going to set off?" Jest stood up and saluted, "You can't change it, so just face it."
"Tonight, we will have the precious clear sky before the snowstorm." Raloff stood up, "There is a carriage."
"Understood." Everyone stood up and saluted.
Half an hour later, Jerstang and Lier were both packing their bags. Bert felt it didn't matter, he could do anything with the bloody giant sword. So he started wandering around the camp. He wasn't wandering aimlessly, he was just walking around while thinking about something. Bert was thinking about something very important: getting married.
"It's time to find a wife." Bert thought. "Jesdan and Lear are already here, and I have to hurry up. What a wonderful girl Cherostine is Coran Mork, if If I meet them now, I really don¡¯t know how to face them. Alas, aristocratic girls are something I can¡¯t get at the moment, but why do I need to pursue them relentlessly? An ordinary girl who can tolerate my drinking and bad temper, I could have sworn an oath with her in front of the idol, then cut both of our fingers with the Atak sword, and put that sword next to our tombstones after we die."
While he was thinking about something, Bert met Georgelf Entrich, the captain of the fourth battalion of the Wind Knights. He was still the same, riding a horse and carrying a spear. But now he looks gloomy, obviously something bad has happened to him. For such a powerful knight, it is difficult for anything to stump them. So Bert strode forward and said hello to Georgelf. In fact, it was he who led a team of wind knights to defeat the demon archers and save Ralof and others.
"Ah, Bert." Georgelf took off his helmet.
"It seems that you are worried about something." Bert said sharply, "Friend, I should be able to help you."
"Lodan Gap." Georgelf said directly, "Three days ago I went to Anderst Prison to see Lordan Sandiford. He and I have a relationship, and I know it is impossible for him to do such a thing. And Luo Dan also told me that this order was not given by him, but I'm sorry, I promised him to keep it secret. In short, this matter was not done by Luo Dan, and it may involve important people. I am feeling upset and thinking How can we prove his innocence?"
"I will try my best to help you." Bert said, "This is really shocking news. Lordan turned out to be just a sad scapegoat. If there are any clues, I will talk to you immediately."
"Very good, actually there is one more thing that worries me." Georgelf was a little happy because of Bert's words, "The leader of the Knights of the Wind, my friend, the pillar of the entire Knights" His expression Sadly, "I was seriously injured and can no longer serve as the leader. During the charge, I was hit head-on by the 'Thunder Beast IV'"
"Why don't we know?" Bert looked shocked.
"What happened two weeks ago," Georgelf's voice trembled, "Burt, I can't hide it anymore, so I can tell you with confidence. What makes me even more painful is that the first, second, and third The captains of the third brigade, those handsome and noble wind knights, actually started fighting openly and secretly to get the position of captain, and I was also involved. God of War! They were such good partners before, but now they started fighting for power. Fighting each other. The Knights of Faith, the Knights of Glory, and the Knights of Mercy are all spying on us and want the Wind Knights to completely collapse so that they can have one less competitor."
"I can't believe it, Mr. Georgelf, you must be in quite a lot of pain right now." Bert sighed.
Georgelf suddenly turned over and dismounted, holding Bert's hand tightly: "Thank you for listening to me.Confide, please promise me not to tell anyone what you heard today. It is related to my reputation. "
"Of course." Bert nodded.
"Goodbye." Georgelf got on the horse, with infinite loneliness in his eyes, and left Bert's sight.
