Chapter 523 Bloody Pearl

In the evening, Calvin Kant summoned the nobles of the North to the castle.

There was a roaring fire burning in the banquet hall, reflecting everyone's figure on the wall. The swaying figure of the flame made the shadows dance up and down, like a weird mural.

Four long tables placed across the hall were filled with steaming meat and wine. It looked like a sumptuous dinner, but the atmosphere was not relaxed, especially when the Duke said that the royal capital had been captured. After the news.

"I have sent people to recover the team that left four days ago. If we are lucky, they can still come back alive," he said in a deep voice while sitting in the main seat. "The key is... what should we do in the Northland?"

The nobles looked at each other, probably because the news that Tifeko had not been able to hold on for even a day was too shocking, and for a while no one in the hall dared to answer. Calvin saw cowardice and regret in the eyes of many small nobles. Edith was right. It was absolutely impossible for such a person to resist Roland Wimbledon. The option of splitting the earth and becoming king did not exist from the beginning. , they actually only have one way to go.

However, for the nobles who had just surrendered to Tifeike, it was a bit embarrassing to suddenly switch sides.

"How about we send an envoy to spy on the fourth prince?" Someone said after a while.

"If he doesn't interfere with the North, we might as well support him as king." These words immediately gained the approval of another young noble. "Anyway, it's Wimbledon's own business. It doesn't matter whoever becomes the king." .”

Count Lista sneered, "Are they all the same?"

Calvin raised his eyebrows, the important point came.

Sure enough, after the earl spoke, everyone's voices dropped, which made him quite uncomfortable. In fact, there is not much difference between the three families, and the Kant family is even worse... It's just that he followed his daughter's idea and was the first to show his kindness to Tifeike, and then he got the position of duke.

Of course, he also understood that this was one of the new king's checks and balances - Tifeike was probably happy to see the other two families despise and dissatisfy him.

"Have you all forgotten the Duke of Ace who was executed for treason?" Lista said coldly, "He did not take the initiative to provoke Tifeko. If we had been soft from the beginning, the noose would have been tied at any time. On our necks, it will be too late to struggle by then! In the eyes of the fourth prince, we have truly participated in the rebellion, and at least everyone is inseparable from Tifeko!"

"So what if you don't give in? Even the royal capital can't last for a day. We are nothing more than an egg touching a rock..." One of Calvin's vassals retorted in a low voice according to the agreed content, looking a little less imposing. Under the glare of the other party's eyes, the second half of the sentence was even more inaudible.

"Whether it's an egg or not, I'm going to give it a try," Ed Hoss said loudly, "The rebel king killed my brother! He will definitely pay the price for it!"

"It's still unclear who is the egg. The Northland has undulating mountains and dangerous roads everywhere. His army can gallop across the plains and rivers, but it may not be able to survive in the Northland." Earl Hoth followed closely, " At worst, the Ma Tou family retreats to Hanfeng Ridge, and I don’t believe his army can fly up."

That would be equivalent to exposing your whole back to the church, Calvin thought to himself, those people also have bad intentions towards the North. He had also heard about the eldest son of Hoth. He seemed to have died in a battle against the lords of the Western Territory... But how could a war not kill someone? If shouting alone could make the opponent pay, there would be no need for the knight's sword and armor.

The voices in the hall gradually became noisy. Due to the statements of the Lista and Hoth families, the voices of advocates gradually overwhelmed the other side. Although Calvin remained silent, he felt anxious in his heart.

Edith won't be in any trouble, right?

"I wonder what the Duke thinks?" Probably because he had been silent for too long, Earl Lista looked at him.

Calvin's heart trembled, and it was finally his turn, "I called you here just to hear everyone's opinions. After all, this matter is related to the future of Northland, and no matter how cautious you are -"

Earl Hoth interrupted impatiently, "That's enough. I'm afraid you have already planned to be loyal to the fourth prince. Otherwise, why would those guys who express weak views be your vassals? Now hand over the power. When the time comes, They are just lambs to be slaughtered!”

"You..." Calvin almost couldn't help but throw out the wine glass in his hand.

"In this case, we have nothing to talk about," Lista stood up and walked towards the entrance of the banquet hall, "By the way, if you want the fourth prince to spare your life, you can also tie Edith's hands. Here you go, I heard that guy is very fond of beauty - uh -"

Everyone's laughter stopped abruptly as the earl fell silent. Everyone could see an extra sword tip behind him, and the bloodstains on it glowed dimly under the fire.

"Are you talking about me, Lord Snow Fox? I can't pretend that I didn't hear such words."

The earl's body slipped weakly to one side, and a tall armored warrior appeared in front of everyone. She pulled out her sword expressionlessly, stepped over Lista, who was still twitching and struggling, and walked into the hall.

The person who came was none other than Edith Kant.

Calvin suddenly felt at ease.

There were dark red blood stains everywhere on her armor, and she had obviously just experienced a fight. Even so, her grace was still the same as before, and her beautiful face had a look of solemnity. Then a group of sword-wielding warriors filed in and instantly surrounded the hall. At this point, everyone understood what happened.

"Guards!" Count Hoth's eyes widened, "Give the guards outside to—"

"If I don't get rid of them, how can I concentrate on dealing with you?" Calvin let out a sigh of relief and slammed the cup on the ground. "You seem to have forgotten that I am the one in charge of the North!"

This is the moment he has been waiting for. This kind of banquet will be held every once in a while. The defense mentality of several nobles is not high. There will not be more than a hundred guards accompanying them, and they basically stay outside the castle area, which is perfect for catching them all. . Once the opponent's guards are successfully dealt with, the overall situation is basically decided.

Of course, the decision-maker and executor of this plan is his own daughter, Edith, the Pearl of the North.

The door to the banquet hall slowly closed, and the fire swayed with the cold wind.

The vassals of both families drew their swords one after another, while the little nobles were frightened out of their wits.

"You're crazy!" Ed Hoss gritted his teeth.

Calvin no longer bothered to argue with words at this moment, "Those who put down their weapons and surrender will be spared death. If there is resistance... shoot without mercy!"

As soon as the words fell, the two groups of people collided with each other instantly.
