The Amber Sword - 992. Chapter 992 Act One Hundred and Forty-two Witch Rebellion V

In the eyes of the public, Shi Shiran opened the door on the second floor, but what came out from behind the door was not the Brando or the former attendant as the nobles imagined, but a noble robe with gray hair and face. Full of wrinkles and age spots, the trembling Noble Metz, everyone was taken aback, because this person was the Lord of Fatan City-Baron Ludwig Metz. In the silence, the baron slowly came to the handrail and glanced at the people with a majestic look. His eyes only stopped for a while on the Earl of Alcons and the others, and then he said: “Everyone, come to my territory, I Welcome, I also heard about what happened to the south, and I deeply regret that, but today you gathered in my castle, why is it?”

There was a dead silence, and the nobles downstairs couldn’t help looking at each other, thinking that this old guy was under house arrest, how could he suddenly appear in this place, is it because of pressure to speak, and the other party wants to use this to force them to leave? This method is also too hateful. The time downstairs is silent, as if a punch is in the air. Everyone wants to wait until a few leading aristocrats speak, but the five people including Earl Alcons are late. After not speaking, finally a quick-tempered nobleman could not bear to stand up: “My Lord Baron, please let Count Fir of Eruin come out, we are here to find him.”

“Eluin’s head of the envoy is a distinguished guest, why are you looking for him?” the baron asked.

No, Earl Alcons’ heart sank, and the feeling of conspiracy in his heart became more and more obvious. He looked back and saw that the faces of the people around him were similar, but at this time he had no time to stop his men. He spoke, but the nobleman replied loudly when he spoke at the beginning: “My Lord Baron, you don’t have to worry about the threat of the man behind you. We came to him today to let him come out and clean up the situation. Now the situation is clear, Eruin. People shouldn’t want to occupy your port, your lord?”

“Shut up!” Baron Metz’s complexion suddenly sank, and his voice was as cold as a layer of frost, which made everyone downstairs feel embarrassed. Of course, this is not to say that Baron Metz’s status is the most outstanding, it’s just that He is now condescending and the host of this place, occupying a geographical advantage, and he naturally wins his momentum: “I am the city lord of Fattan Harbor, and everything here is naturally controlled by me. You are my guests, Egypt The Luin envoy is also my guest. I hope that you will not make trouble here, so as not to corrupt the image of the imperial aristocracy.”

Everyone was dumbfounded by these words, and they couldn’t find a reason to refute for a while. Of course, from a theoretical point of view, these words are not flawed at all, but everyone knows that you Ludwig Metz is considered to be at this time. What kind of city lord is a puppet at best, but these words can’t be put on the table, for a time all the nobles’ faces are very strange, as if they are constipated.

Sure enough–

Count Alcons’ face was sinking. He had long expected Brando to be impossible to talk so well. Right now, this face-to-face slap was in his expectation. Somehow, he was relieved in his heart. Letting the Baron Metz out shows that there is still room for negotiation in the other side’s heart, at least not intending to make things too stiff. He then frowned again, but playing this kind of trick is a trick after all. If Brando doesn’t want to see them, he can just drive them away. You can’t play this kind of tricks. Although cleverness can fool people for a while, it’s here. This time, it will only make people look down, or that the young man has other goals.

But no matter what the purpose, the words of Baron Metz have blocked the room for others to speak. Count Alcons understands that he can’t speak without speaking. He pondered for a moment before raising his head and saying, “Mr. Baron, anyway, It is not a way to stay trapped here at the moment, and it is impossible for us to stay here all the time. We have to come up with a solution. The situation in the empire is now in chaos. Your Majesty is at war with the rebels in the Zweig area, and Qiaogendigang and the Lion The army of adults has been inspired by our emperor and turned back. Now the White Army has entered the port of Columbia, and it is only three days away from Fattan. We are uncertain and may be regarded as a party of rebels.”

Count Alcons had just finished speaking, and suddenly realized that it was not good. He suddenly remembered that Baron Metz was a subject of Duke Lena. Now that the Duke clearly stands on the side of the military aristocracy, isn’t the position of the former self-evident? Sure enough, before he had time to change his words, Baron Metz interrupted him faintly: “I agree with most of your statements, Lord Earl, but have reservations about some of them. Constance colluded with the evil dragon and took his father to the throne, and Trying to attack the princes in an attempt to subvert the empire, I doubt whether such a vicious woman can still be called the emperor of the empire.”

This sentence was like a blockbuster falling into the water, which immediately caused a thousand waves of waves, and the nobles were in an uproar, whether it was for the words of Baron Metz, or for Baron Metz’s bold behavior.

The humming sound resounded through the hall again, but this time Earl Alcons had no intention of restraining his subordinates. He felt sweat on his forehead. He didn’t expect that this old man seemed to be old-fashioned. The old dog-like baron was so fierce that he pushed people to a desperate moment when he opened his mouth. He almost wanted to reach out to wipe the sweat, but finally calmed down and sighed: “My Lord Baron, please pay attention to your words… …”

“Why, Lord Earl doesn’t believe me?” Baron Metz sneered.

“Of course, there may be some rumors that are unfavorable to Her Majesty the Queen, but it is always the enemy’s means of deceiving the world, and it is not worth mentioning—”

The words of Count Alcons came to a halt. He suddenly reacted, and suddenly realized that the city lord of Fatan in front of him did not seem to be persecuted by Brando. If the opponent was just a puppet, then he didn’t need to argue with words. Do it this way. He suddenly thought of a terrible possibility. The cold sweat on his forehead could no longer stop for a while, and it stained. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Baron Metz, realizing that he might have been fooled.

“Earl Alcons, it seems that you intend to stand on the opposite side of the empire.”

“I…” Earl Alcons’ status in the empire is still faintly higher than that of Baron Metz, but at this moment he can’t say anything. At this time, other people in the hall can see the situation faintly. No, for a while, he wisely chose to stay silent. Even Earl Jinn, who was next to Earl Alcons, was cautious not to say a word. Rogers raised his head and found out that the corners around the second floor of the hall were already full of knights in heavy armor—these knights. The shirt on his body was clearly the style of the Cruz Empire—obviously it was not an army of the Eruin.

The inner court knight raised his brows and suddenly lowered his head, not to mention any comments.

Count Alcons finally wiped his sweat and asked, “Mr. Baron, what do you mean?”

“That’s what I meant.” A man’s voice rang from behind Baron Metz. All the nobles present saw Baron Metz retreat respectfully and let the man come forward. In fact, Orr Count Constance didn’t need to see the man’s appearance, his face had changed horribly just by hearing his voice. He raised his head almost incredulously, and saw that handsome, indifferent face appear in his vision.

At this moment, the countenance of Count Alcons can be described as weird, but fortunately no one can laugh at his ridiculous look, because dozens of faces in the hall are surprisingly consistent, seeing the young man When he appeared from behind Baron Metz, many people made a faint gasp.

“The emperor… Your Royal Highness the eldest son?”

“Why, it’s weird to see me?” Prince Lenaret said with a cold face: “Or because I received my obituary in advance, now I suspect that I am a fake?”

“No… I dare…”

“Well, then I want to tell you a piece of news, my mother has already harmed the unity of all things, and now they are colluding with the Miner people in order to subvert the empire and persecute my brothers and sisters. I now demand all the nobles of the entire empire. Heed my call to join the King of King Qin’s army and save the empire.” Lenaret didn’t seem to be telling the news, but rather like giving an order. He didn’t even need any approval, as if he was simply expressing himself. Position: “Do you understand?”

We…Earl Alcons is still thinking about this word, but the eldest son doesn’t seem to need their answer at all. He stretches out his hand directly: “Earl Alcons, Earl Jean, and my inner court knight, come up. See me, everyone else, go away!”

…

“Will these people be obedient?” While the eldest son of the emperor was showing off his power, the three of Roman, Brando and Flo were actually standing in the lobby on the second floor watching this farce not far away. The merchant asked curiously. road.

Brando shook his head silently: “That’s their own business for the Cruz people,” he paused, and added: “There are many forces within the empire. In fact, the Silver Queen only controls the nobles in Cape Bay, that is, It is said that only the White Legion and a part of the Imperial Navy are truly loyal to her, and even the Red Legion has to pay a big discount, otherwise the wind elves have been arming for a few weeks, and they are not seen in the four-leaf clover plain. Reaction? As for the remaining mountain people and Senya people, they are all ethnic minorities in the empire. Since they are called ethnic minorities, as the name suggests, there will not be too many people, and there will be fewer troops. They are similar to the main armies of the empire. Compared, it’s not worth mentioning. The last remaining witches and Miners are not even a fraction. The empire is a behemoth. These powers may be strong in the hands of a lord, but even if they are placed in the empire. Nothing, at least it can’t determine the strength of the empire.”

“I understand,” the merchant lady suddenly realized: “The reason why Ludwig’s nobles retreated in a row is because they are a pile of loose sand, fighting each other, and each has their own calculations, as if business investment has no clear purpose, and it is natural. It’s easy to fail.”

“Smart,” Brando patted Roman’s forehead approvingly, causing the latter to glared at him again and again. He smiled: “There will be no less opposition in the empire. The temple of Flame is more loyal than you think. It’s much more, but these forces are too scattered, and no single unit will be Her Majesty’s opponent. Everyone has a wise idea of protecting oneself. This is not surprising. In the case of absolute power balance, except for a few extremes No one would choose to die in vain. But if the balance of power is not as great as imagined, it will be different. Now that there is a common benefit to rely on, it will be different.”

“Rely on common interests,” Fro gave Brando a strange look. “Lord Lord said that the eldest son of the emperor?”

Brando chuckled: “I said earlier that this man is a stranger.”

“When did you say Brando?” The merchant girl raised her eyebrows curiously.

“Naturally said, how else would I keep him?” The bragging was dismantled, and the young Earl couldn’t help being a little bit irritated: “Knowing that at that time, it was not easy for me to conceal the whereabouts of the next empire heir. Things, and taking great political and diplomatic risks, if I don’t see the benefits today, how can I convince our stubborn Princess?”

Out of familiarity with Brando’s consistent character, Roman glanced at him suspiciously, but Flor seemed to believe it, and the wild elf girl frowned slightly: “The powers in the Cruz Empire are complicated. Which ones are loyal to the Silver Queen? Loyal to the prince’s eldest son, what is their relationship? Lord Lord, have you investigated these?”

“Naturally,” Brando sighed: “The Cruz people are too close to us, and the empire is too strong. We may not understand ourselves, but we must understand the empire.”

Floran, she was born in the uncontested Ellanta, although she later traveled to White City with her sister like many other wild elves, where she joined the mercenary group and became a mercenary wizard. The Ten-City area is also tangled by various forces. The city-states often clashed with each other and intrigue, but as a mercenary, you often don’t need to think about so many things, and it’s hard to experience the feeling of being frightened and walking on thin ice all day. At this moment, she seemed to recognize the young lord next to her again, and she couldn’t help but frown and glance at the latter in a very complicated manner.

It’s a pity that Brando didn’t notice the look of his’personal secretary’ at all. He thought of Eruin at this moment, of the fir collar and the vast black forest.

One day, Eluin will no longer need to rely on the breath of others to survive. At that time, Eluin will also have a vast territory and strong strength. Elu people will no longer need to guess the minds of others to live, they will also be a fierce lion, standing proudly on this land.

Perhaps only then can the wishes of the eldest princess and the Valkyrie be realized.

Brando suddenly recalled the princess and the Valkyrie in the game. They are very different from Griffin and Freya today. The environment and suffering have changed them, but today Eruin also No longer need such princesses and Valkyrie.

Because Eruin no longer needs people, its people cry silently for it.

He came to his senses, and the conversation in the hall was nearing an end. “What did you see, Flor?” Brando asked suddenly, turning around.

Flor froze slightly, as if she had awakened from something. She blushed rarely, and shook her head quickly and said, “What do you see?”

“Earl Alcons did not come voluntarily. He is the leader of the nobility. What does it mean if he doesn’t have the intention to agitate these people?” Brando sneered, “I was originally curious. I have given these nobles a deep enough lesson. They shouldn’t heal the scars so soon and forget the pain. Thinking about it now, I shouldn’t miss anything, but there is another reason behind this.”

Fro frowned slightly. If she still couldn’t hear what her lord was saying, then her so-called lord secretary was also a fool: “Lord lord, do you mean that someone is agitating behind these nobles? Who is it?”

“I didn’t know,” Brando replied coldly, “but it’s a pity that some people are too anxious to show their fox tails.”

“The fox’s tail is exposed,” Roman chuckled. “This description is particularly appropriate.”
