Chapter 847 The Time Has Come

For the two factions, there is no objection whether it is to recover the Eastern Territory or destroy the church. This is something that has been included in the plan in the previous meeting.

The only difference is when to take revenge on Dawn.

Due to Roland's clear diplomatic attitude before, no one mentioned the practice of taking a step back and exposing it this time. However, city hall officials still hope to wait until the ceremony is over before negotiating in a "justifiable" manner, and the use of force is not ruled out. Obviously, the future planning meeting in Xie Yue gave them enough temptation and motivation, and they all wanted to support the fourth prince as soon as possible to become the veritable king of Graycastle, and they could also become real ministers of the kingdom from local officials.

If you want to go deep into the dawn battle, you need to mobilize a lot of troops and resources. Not to mention, the enthronement ceremony will obviously be affected-no king will send out his own elite officers when he enthrones, and then simply complete the coronation ceremony, so that no matter who Neither look good.

Of course, the final decision still rests with Roland.

For three days, he just watched everyone discussing, and he didn't show any obvious inclination. He was completely different from the tough attitude he had when dictating diplomatic letters before. It was precisely because of his silence that everyone had room for heated debate.

It's not that he changed his original intention, but that he was waiting for an opportunity.

An opportunity to obtain maximum benefit at minimum cost.

In the evening, someone knocked on the office door.

When he saw that it was Andrea, he was slightly relieved.

It's finally here.

If she didn't take the initiative to come, she would have to find her by herself-the effect would undoubtedly be much worse, and whether it would be successful or not was a matter of debate.

"Here, dried fish," Nightingale showed up and handed her a piece of grilled fish in honey sauce. Other than Wendy, the other party was one of the few witches who could share snacks from Nightingale.

This is probably the mutual attraction between nobles?

"Thank you," Andrea didn't seem very interested. She took the dried fish and put it in her pocket, then stroked her chest and saluted, "Your Majesty, I..."

In the middle of speaking, she stopped again, as if she didn't know how to express it.

"You want me to save your childhood friend, Otto Rossi, right?" Roland couldn't make Andrea hesitate anymore at this time. If she changed her mind, wouldn't it be a waste of time to wait these days? ?

In addition, he also vaguely guessed the other party's hesitation. One thing is certain, the relationship between Otto and her should be a one-sided secret love relationship. Because of this, she didn't know what position to use to make this request. Childhood playmate? After so many years, Andrea does not miss the past in the Kingdom of Dawn. After all, Earl Quinn did not protect her after discovering that she was a witch, but directly forged the ending of an accidental death. This kind of memory is really not worth it. How beautiful it is.

When Otto visited Neverwinter last winter, Andrea made it clear that she didn't want to get involved with the past. It's probably just because of pure kindness and regret that I came to the door now.

"Yes..." She took a deep breath and nodded slowly.

"But at the meeting, you also heard everyone's discussion. If you want to force Amperein to submit, you need an army of at least 3,000 people, and if you add the troops to attack the Holy City, it will increase to about 5,000. This is already Eighty percent of the strength of the First Army."

Despite the differences, the City Hall and the General Staff still made a rough plan—since neither the Hermes Plateau nor the Kingdom of Dawn has a water system directly connected to Graycastle, the supply can only rely on horse-drawn carts and manpower, and the logistics team’s The numbers were astonishingly high. In addition, the remaining 20% ​​needed to stay in the various borders of the kingdom, so that the First Army had no spare power to garrison and occupy the land, so they could only leave after fighting. All in all, it is definitely a loss-making business.

"It's just people. If things are counted...all kinds of losses, carriage and horse expenses, food and grass expenses—" Seeing Andrea's increasingly embarrassed expression, Roland's voice suddenly stopped when he was about to add more fire. .

"Your Majesty?" The blond witch couldn't help being stunned.

It wasn't that he noticed something wrong, but that Nightingale pinched him hard on the back, and then said in a voice so small that only he could hear, "Don't force her, just say no?"

"Ahem...it's nothing," Roland coughed twice. "This is just an objective situation, but through some subjective efforts, the disadvantages can't be reversed. It's just...it depends on how much the three major families are willing to do."

"Three... families?"

"Obviously, the king no longer trusts them. We alone may be able to save Otto, but this will also cause a complete break between the Moa royal family and the Losey family. Even if An Peiyin is kicked off the throne, the next Dawn Will the lord forget all this?" Roland touched his chin and said, "Facing a powerful enemy like the devil, I can't invest too much energy and manpower in the neighboring countries, and they are the ones who decide the direction of the morning light."

Andrea seemed to realize something, "Please continue."

"Someone must replace the royal family of Moa." He said word by word.

"..." The other party was silent for a while, "I see, do you have a plan?"

As expected of a woman from a great family, Roland thought to herself, if she can keep her face in the face of subverting the royal power, the next conversation will undoubtedly be much simpler. He asked bluntly, "Are you interested in becoming the Lord of Dawn?"

"Your Majesty?" Andrea finally showed surprise this time, "No...I don't want to leave—"

"Leave what?"

She bit her lip, "No, it's nothing...I mean, I'm not interested in the throne of the City of Light."

Roland was a little surprised—it wasn't that she didn't want to be the King of Dawn, but that the demeanor she showed was clearly worrying about gains and losses, which was rare in Andrea, who was always full of elegance in her gestures and gestures.

Is there anything more depressing than being the king of a country?

Roland took a sip of tea calmly, but fortunately he had a backup plan.

"What about your father? Is he willing to stand up?"

The reason why the Quinn family is the best choice is not only that it is stronger than the other two, but Andrea, who is also liked by Otto and Auror, is also the key-it can be said that her opinion is more powerful in a sense. Represents the three major families.

According to the educational level of Neverwinter, the trained manpower is not enough for the kingdom. It is not realistic to completely control the dawn, and it is more convenient to support a regime that is inclined to Graycastle. If Andrea agrees to this plan, he will not need to pay too much, and he can also get the resources of the neighboring country.

"Of course, the other two won't gain nothing. This change of power will make all participants winners. More importantly, the threat that is pressing on your heads will no longer exist." Roland said slowly, " In this way, Neverwinter does not need to spend a lot of money and resources on troops, it only needs to assist the Quinn family to complete this replacement."

This time, Andrea didn't hesitate too long. After thinking for a while, she agreed, "I think... Father will agree."

After a short pause, she repeated, "No, he will definitely agree."

When the other party said this, Roland knew that she completely understood what he meant.

The time has come.

"Then Neverwinter will take action soon, don't worry... Otto Losi won't be imprisoned for too long."
