In the past, Moore had never felt that the nobles of North and South Lorraine were anything to be afraid of. The reason why they were able to fight against the royal family was just because these nobles worked together. If any family was really singled out, they would not be the royal family's opponents at all. After meeting Hornan and Rufford, this concept quickly changed. None of these nobles were easy to get along with. The Luke family was not very powerful, but Rufford was still so cunning. Then other families, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult. The soldiers and horses ambushing outside the city have already braved the ice and snow to move. Moore is very anxious. He will never come to Nanlin Manor unless he has no choice. "Your Majesty, the royal guards have already set off towards Merlin City. We We must act quickly here. That old guy Dekler is not easy to bully. To avoid long nights and nightmares, the sooner we act, the better for us.¡± Moore emphasized the word ¡°we¡±. Remind Rufford and others that the two sides are now allies on the same ship. No one can leave a way out at this time. Anyone who jumps off the ship with luck will only die. During this period, Moore got to know the Luke family and the Weylan family. These large and small families may not be as powerful as the royal family, but there are no less bad things in the family than the royal family. There are also many conflicts within the family. Each one is fighting for his or her own reasons, and they are not monolithic. Moore does not want to ruin the long-planned event of the royal family because of other people's troubles. Rufford was so smart. Of course he understood the warning in Moore's tone. He curled his lips and said with some displeasure, "The Luke family can still distinguish the seriousness of things. Your Highness should be more careful. Those people like Hornan are not easy to get along with, and Merlin City may fall into turmoil at any time. "Qiao Mi and others are also somewhat dissatisfied with Moore. The third prince looks domineering and has not corrected his position at all. . The two parties have a cooperative relationship, and it is not something the family shamelessly sticks to. Some young family members had already sneered at Moore. Without realizing it, Moore discussed some matters with Rufford and walked out of Nanlin Manor under the eyes of many family members. Naturally, the affairs of Nanlin Manor cannot be hidden from the spies of the Wei Ting family who are all over Meilin City. The Wei Ting family is sitting in Meilin City. It is extremely easy to spy on someone, not to mention that the two sides have already broken their skin, and Moore has not Deliberately conceal your whereabouts. In the hall of Varro Manor Castle, there were more than a dozen Southern Lorraine nobles sitting. At this time, everyone had solemn expressions on their faces, and they were worried. In fact, the Southern Lorraine nobles were not monolithic. Many of them still had luck in dealing with the royal family. psychology. Take the Mulan family for example. They think that the royal family will not do such crazy things. Although the nobles of South Lorraine have a tendency to fall to the Easterners, they have not fallen over yet. If the royal family is in pain at this time, The killer is to force the people of South Lorraine to make a choice. No one knows whether the Orientals are trustworthy or not. For most Red Grape nobles, the Orientals are just legendary existences, while the threats from the royal family and the Franks are real. Hornan did not force these nobles. As the leader of the Southern Lorraine nobles, he must consider the interests of these nobles. Everyone is waiting. Near Varro Manor, there are hundreds of soldiers loyal to the Red Grape Nobles. They are patiently waiting for news about the Luke family. Only after seeing the Luke family's next move can the Red Grape Nobles make a decision. Last resort. Two soldiers from the Wei Ting family stepped on the thick snow and ran in a hurry. Their faces were full of anxiety and sweat was dripping from their foreheads. When they saw most of the nobles in the hall looking at them with unkind expressions, the two soldiers quickly saluted, " Your Majesty, Your Majesty Moore just went to Nanlin Manor. Since Prince Moore left, the Luke family has been busy, and the family soldiers have also gathered at the residence in the east. "After waiting for so long, I finally got the news I wanted. Hornan nodded and signaled the two soldiers to go down. He held the edge of the table and said coldly and arrogantly, "Everyone, it is very obvious now that the royal family has colluded with the Luke family in order to seize the interests of Southern Lorraine. If we do nothing, we will not only lose Merlin City, but the Southern Lorraine family will also have to act according to the royal family. " Faced with these nobles, Huo Nan did not tell any lies. None of these people are mature. They are playing tricks and are asking for trouble. A dozen nobles were whispering to each other and discussing in low voices. Not long after, these nobles who were still hesitating before stood up and said loudly, "Your Majesty the Duke is right. Since the royal family wants to snatch the interests from us, then we can't Let others control you. Your Majesty, give your order. We will spare no effort to support you in controlling the situation in Merlin City. " None of these nobles are stupid. They also have their own interests, but they are absolutely united when it comes to facing the royal family. If the royal family takes power, all the Lorraine nobles will be in trouble. For more than two hundred years, the Lorraine nobles have long been accustomed to being independent. Now they can't stand it if they act according to the royal family's face. Hornan smiled and nodded. The next thing was simple. All he had to do was gather the power of the Merlin nobles.Just deal with the Luke family. Of course, not every Merlin noble is as confident as Hornan. A nobleman couldn't help but asked with some worry, "Your Majesty the Duke, none of us know what methods the royal family is hiding, so would it be inappropriate to act rashly?" He is not the only one who has this kind of worry. I have seen many Everyone nodded in agreement, and Huo Nan secretly felt depressed. Fortunately, he knew that these nobles were hesitant and had a plan to deal with it. His expression remained unchanged and he said confidently, "In fact, there is no need for you to worry. Although the Luke family has the help of the royal family, we are not fighting alone. Northern Lorraine will rush to help us soon. This time Merlin seizes power, we will win. No doubt." As soon as Hornan said this, many nobles smiled bitterly and shook their heads, "Your Majesty, why are you so sure? Those white-skinned grapes in the north will not lend a helping hand to us. It¡¯s too late for them to sit aside and watch the fight.¡± The fight between the nobles of North and South Lorraine has been going on for a long time. On the way to develop trade interests, the two sides will inevitably collide, and over time, they will become a pair of enemies. It's just that the royal family was caught in the middle. Considering the existence of the royal family, there was no big fight. Will Northern Lorraine rush to aid Merlin City? Isn't this a joke? Many people think that the Yankees are unreliable, not to mention that the Yankees suffered heavy losses in the Istrian highlands. Hornan was not surprised. With the grievances between northern and southern Lorraine generations, it was really difficult for them to believe that the nobles of northern Lorraine would rush to aid Merlin City. "We naturally can't let the northern white-skinned grapes take action, but if the Easterners "Help?" A group of Southern Lorraine nobles all stared. Sir Hornan was kidding. The Orientals are far away in the Kingdom of Saxony, so how can they care about the affairs of the Lorraine people. But gradually, everyone's expressions became serious, because they found that Huo Ernan had been calm and composed, and had no intention of joking at all. In an instant, some people figured it out, "Did the Orientals send people here?" Huo Ernan was not in a hurry to answer, but clapped his hands gently, and then a man slowly walked down the wooden steps. The man walked to the long table and saluted the surrounding Southern Lorraine nobles, "I Deacon Kypros, Lovidnov, the envoy sent by the empire to Lorraine, was in a hurry, so he was unable to inform you. "His, the sound of air-conditioning filled the room. Who doesn't know Lovidnov's name? He is a royal minister under the Emperor of the East and has unimaginable influence in Kypros. Such an important figure actually came to Merlin City. A Southern Lorraine noble stood up excitedly, looked at Luo Weidnov and said tremblingly, "Are you really Mr. Luo Weide?" "Of course, yes, it's true." Luo Weidnov smiled lightly and did not say These things are too important to our hearts. If we want to maintain the situation in Merlin City, we must unite these nobles. Self-confidence is also particularly important. "The regent is interested in Lorraine. Since he has the intention to form an alliance, so what?" Maybe he saw the royal family and the Franks coming to harm the people of Southern Lorraine? "Rovidnov spoke very cleverly. He only talked about alliances and never mentioned marriage. In fact, I told Huo Nan and the nobles of Southern Lorraine present that the nobles of Northern Lorraine were close allies of the Song Empire, and it was because of the alliance that they helped Southern Lorraine. If Southern Lorraine did not form an alliance, then It's a different story. As for marriage, it's just a means, but don't use marriage as a threat. Maybe everyone breaks up and Miss Marina is left to the nobles of Southern Lorraine. The corner of Hornan's mouth twitched, and the faces of other nobles also twitched. He was indeed the old fox of Kypros. His words sounded soft, but in fact he was armed with a gun and a stick. If anyone dares to disgust the Orientals with the marriage, Luo Weide Nov probably just walked away. Grandma is a bitch. She hooked up with an Oriental and offended the Franks. Louis, that damn fat guy, can¡¯t possibly marry Marina again. The Orientals have this attitude again. Now Miss Marina is no longer wanted. Princess now. It¡¯s not that it¡¯s shameful, it¡¯s Miss Marina¡¯s miraculous experience that every man has to weigh his own worth. What if Louis or the Eastern Emperor don't want others to get involved with Marina? Then whoever marries Marina will be the old man who hangs himself. ???????? Wicked, really wicked, Hornan had the urge to strangle Lovidnov to death, but due to the current situation, he could only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach. With Lovidnov as the backing, the confidence of the Southern Lorraine nobles has become much stronger. With Lovidnov staying in Merlin City, the Easterners will definitely try their best to help the Southern Lorraine nobles. But in fact, these nobles didn't know that Lovidnov was just bluffing, and in fact only a dozen soldiers were actually brought to Merlin City. Next, Hornan began to make detailed arrangements. In the past two hundred years, a battle for power in Merlin City that determined the fate of the Kingdom of Lorraine began. On the fourth day of the first lunar month of the sixth year of Taikang, the emerging nobles headed by the Luke family suddenly appeared.??More than two hundred family soldiers launched a fierce attack on Nuremberg south of the Merlin Avenue. Nuremberg is the material transit point for the nobles of Southern Lorraine in Merlin City. There are too many materials hidden here. The Luke family launched an attack here, which immediately aroused the vigilance of the city patrol soldiers. A large number of city patrol soldiers began to approach Nuremberg, whistling. Sounds and shouts resounded throughout Merlin City, and the streets became chaotic. It was approaching the time of Xu, and there were not many pedestrians on the street. There was a strong cold wind, ice and snow, and the situation outside was so chaotic that many people in Merlin were so scared that they hid in their homes and did not dare to go out. The battle between the Luke family and the nobles of Southern Lorraine is not something ordinary people can participate in. Around Nuremberg, the two sides started fighting fiercely. The Luke family seemed determined to capture Nuremberg. Groups of soldiers were sent here, and the battle lines were constantly pulled. In order to deal with the fierce attack of the Luke family, the nobles of South Lorraine Reinforcements also continued, and an hour later, more than 2,000 troops from both sides had gathered around Nuremberg. More than two thousand people, in the dark night, smashed the surrounding buildings to pieces. The nobles of Southern Lorraine were all sitting in Varro Manor. Even if the situation in Nuremberg became more critical, Varro Manor did not send any more reinforcements. Whether it was Hornan or Lovidnov, they believed that the main direction of the Luke family's attack was definitely not Nuremberg. Nuremberg seems very important, but the ownership of Merlin City cannot be decided in a short time. Losing Nuremberg will only lose materials and money. Its own strength is not fatal, at least not in a short period of time. At this time, the more calm you need to be. The Luke family, under the leadership of Rufford, is definitely not easy to deal with. Since you don't know what the opponent's specific goals are, you can only use tactics. "I hope you will continue to tell me that no matter what happens, the defenders of the North and South Gates must guard the city walls. As long as there is no problem with the city gates, they will not be able to escape." Hornan's decision was not wrong, and the same was true for Lovidnov. Thought. At this time, in the Nanlin Manor, Rufford also showed a hint of anxiety. It had been so long since he stormed Nuremberg, but the nobles of Southern Lorraine just didn't take the bait. "Qiao Mi, is there still no movement at the south gate?" "Your Excellency, Duke. , The patrol soldiers in the south are still guarding the south gate, and there is no sign of reinforcements in Nuremberg. How about we increase the intensity of the attack?" Qiao Mi scratched his head anxiously, daring to break up with the old forces headed by the Wei Ting family. It relies on the royal troops and horses. If the royal army cannot be allowed to enter the city, the ending will not be too good. Increase troops? It sounded good, but Rufford only thought about it for a moment and shook his head heavily, "No, if we allocate more troops, we won't have enough troops to attack the South Gate. The South Gate is the top priority. If To fight, we must maintain a sufficient advantage and capture the south gate in one fell swoop, without giving Hornan a chance to respond with additional troops. "Raford can't think of a good idea, and Hornan also doesn't have a good idea. Both sides have no good ideas. There was a stalemate around Nuremberg. Lovidnov is very aware of the consequences of continuing this fight. If he does not induce the true strength of the Luke family, he will definitely suffer in the end. He must find a way to break the deadlock. "Your Majesty, please order the north and south gates to be divided." Half of the troops rushed to support Nuremberg. But the troops and horses mobilized should not really marry Nuremberg. They should make a strong presence along the way and lurk in scattered formations to see what Rufford's reaction would be. "
