Chapter 862 Resistance

In the mansion on Panshiling, Earl George Nary finally got the courier from the western region. He opened the letter and glanced through it quickly, his complexion became more and more gloomy.

"What does the letter say?" asked a restless baron. From the family emblem of the river god on the questioner's chest, it can be seen that this person is a member of the Leviathan family. Its territory is located at the intersection of rivers, and it is considered a well-known family in the local area.

As for nobles like him, there are still about twenty of them in the study.

It can be said that half of the feudal nobles near Chishui City have gathered here.

George looked at the other party coldly, and did not answer immediately. Instead, he handed the letter to Guy Julian, Earl of Three Rivers, and after he read it, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "Roland Wimbledon deprived All the power of the lord of Liuye Town, and at the same time occupy his territory as his own."

"The new king... really did this?"

"Damn, then the purpose of his trip is really as the previous news said, to take back all our titles?"

"Why? This is passed down from my grandfather's generation!"

"Liuye Town is too close to the fortress, and the scale is not large, so it doesn't mean that Chishui City will do the same?" someone said suddenly.

"He didn't swallow the king's capital in one gulp before, so he probably couldn't swallow it anymore. Maybe we should wait and see."

Hearing these words, George couldn't help laughing angrily, "Could it be that Chishui City is farther away from the western border than Eternal Night City? Is your territory combined larger than the entire northern border? Are you blind or stupid? It is not a matter of a day or two for Roland Wimbledon to take back the power of all the nobles - the example of the Northland is before you, and the news of the merchants has repeatedly mentioned this matter, and now even Willow Town has become a living proof , but you are still wondering if you are the next unlucky one?"

"Pay attention to your wording, sir."

These harsh and disrespectful remarks made the nobles frown.

"Let me do it," Guy waved his hand at Earl Panshi, "Actually, everyone knows very well that our new king is definitely not an ordinary person. Since he was assigned to Border Town, everything he has done has surpassed Imagine that it is meaningless to measure gains and losses with previous rules and experience. I have also asked people to go to the western border to inquire, and Roland Wimbledon has no intention of hiding his thoughts at all. He will no longer divide the land, and the nobles will only retain their titles... These have been It has basically become his slogan for managing the territory, and it is hung in the square in the city majestically."

His calm tone eased everyone's emotions, "You may say that Chishui City is not his territory, but Longsong Fortress was not his in the first place, let alone the northern border. Roland Wimbledon will become ashes sooner or later King of the Fort, at that time, even if he claims the entire kingdom as his territory, we can only accept it—and this scene is almost certain." Guy paused, "If there is no fief, the loss of the territory People, what else do you have left?"

"But what can we do?" Khufu, who is also a baron with Leviathan, couldn't help but say, "His Majesty Timothy has been defeated, and the church has also been defeated. Who else can stop him? Last time the army in the western region When you came to Chishui City, it’s not that you haven’t seen how they fight—within a hundred steps, snow powder weapons will kill you if you touch them, and heavy armored knights can’t get close, this kind of power is simply not something we can compete with!”

This remark caused a burst of echo.

"Of course there is a way," George said coldly. "Although the snow powder weapon is powerful, it is not without weaknesses - it needs an open space to use it. The larger the space, the more amazing the power, but it is compressed into a narrow environment. , its effect is very limited.”

"Narrow...environment?"

"For example, the lord's castle." He glanced at the nobles present one by one, and said word by word, "When Roland Wimbledon arrives in Chishui City, he will definitely live in the castle—there can't fit a few guards there, as long as we can send them in More people, and the tables turn in our favor."

"Master Delta agreed to cooperate with you?" Leviathan asked in surprise.

"With his temperament, how could he do such a thing? Even if a knife is put on his neck, he probably won't be able to resist." George shook his head disdainfully, "But this guy helped me A lot of work—many secret passages in the castle are connected to the outer city, as long as the people are spread out and placed in advance."

"How do you...know such a thing?"

"Count Todelta's blessing, if he didn't always like to dig around in the city, I wouldn't be able to get this news from those craftsmen. As the saying goes, every rabbit has several nests, I don't know how to praise him It is better to be cautious or timid," George sneered, "This move was originally intended to deal with him, but it is not a waste to use it on the fourth prince now."

"But this is treason..." Khufu murmured, "And if Roland Wimbledon is killed, his army will also crush us to pieces!"

"Who said he was going to kill him?" George knocked on the table in displeasure. "We just need to control the situation and hold Roland in our hands. If the new king is not dead, his army will not dare to act recklessly, and can even force the opponent Withdraw the troops. Once the news spreads, those nobles will undoubtedly stand on our side immediately - don't forget, the place he actually controls is only one place in the western region. When the time comes to reverse, will the Duke of the North insist? Standing on his side is still a question mark."

"But he is..."

"He's not the real king yet, Baron," Guy Julian interrupted, "he hasn't been crowned, and he hasn't announced it to the world. We can find another Wimbledon blood—one who believes in nobles, follows The heir of the ancient and traditional royal family will be the king. As long as you search carefully in the capital, you can always find such a person."

"If that moment really comes, maybe we don't need to look for someone to stand up." George lowered his voice, "And you should all know how much benefit can be gained from this. On the one hand, we lose everything, and on the other hand, the Guangyao family , is there any need to hesitate?"

There was a commotion among the nobles, and it could be seen that they already had a rough choice in mind.

George Nari was not surprised by this result. The nobles he recruited were more inclined to side with Timothy. Even if the second prince was gone, they would not vote for the fourth prince who seriously hindered his interests. Coupled with the temptation of benefits, it is enough to make this group of cowards bold.

However, their ability is always limited. If there is no one to lead them, they are just a mess. Only he himself is the more suitable candidate to serve as the lord of Chishui City and manage the central region.

After a while, Leviathan and the others seemed to have made up their minds, "What are we going to do next?"

"Drop some trustworthy knights to follow my command, and the rest... just wait." George said with confidence.
