Chapter 226 The Decision of the Green Vine Family

"Okay, now it's time, everyone just listen to my thoughts."

It was the patriarch Dolan who broke the silent atmosphere in the secret room of the meeting. He pretended to be calm and took a sip of the tea on the table, but the trembling porcelain cup still revealed his mood.

Dolan simply put down the tea, rubbed his temples with his fat fingers, and then spoke his plan with almost no ups and downs in tone:

"First of all, it is impossible for us to surrender to the Kamos Kingdom. The Green Vine family had already declared their allegiance to the Dylan Kingdom when they accepted the title of nobility. pressure from the Church of God)!"

After saying this, Dolan paused and looked around at the elders who bowed their heads silently. Seeing that no one objected, Dolan continued:

"But at this time, the Luteng family is extremely weak, and all the military, financial and material resources invested in the "Glory Army" have been wiped out. Facing the double blow from the "Church Faction" of the Dylan Kingdom and the Kamos Kingdom, our Green Vine The Vine family can’t live without a backer, so……… I——Dolan, the 32nd patriarch of the Luteng family, proposed to surrender to the Church of Dawn. From then on, I believe in the Lord of Dawn, and……… Dedicated to the Church of Dawn The leader of the demagogic heresy - Trelinka"!

"What... Patriarch, you..."

Several elders raised their heads in shock, and one old man even stood up in surprise. At this time, the eyes of all the elders were full of disbelief.

But Dolan didn't stop narrating his plan because of this. He overshadowed the surprised whispers of the elders with a louder voice, and faced all the elders with unabashed and oppressive eyes:

"As long as the pastor of the Church of Dawn is allowed to preach to our family's descendants from an early age, as long as 80% of the family's property is donated, as long as the "Army of Glory" and Trelinka are donated to the Church of Dawn, according to the usual practice, the Church of Dawn will I will definitely choose to accept the Luteng family, and the noble Zhongnv Church will also choose to turn a blind eye..."

"Patriarch...wait a minute...cough cough...cough cough cough!"

An elder finally couldn't help interrupting Dolan's hoarse words. He stood up on crutches, suppressed his cough and said to Dolan:

"Patriarch... If you do what you do, you can indeed get the protection of the Church of Dawn, but... but the title of our Ivy Clan... what about the territory of our Ivy City, the Church of the Noble Girl will never allow us to continue to keep it...cough Cough...the one who retains the title!"

"That's right, what about our title, this is the hereditary title that our ancestors obtained after fighting with the king..."

"There is also the territory of Green Vine City, which has been passed down from generation to generation for hundreds of years... What kind of nobles are we without the territory, how can we maintain the dignity of nobles..."

"Becoming lackeys of the church... what face do we have to meet our ancestors..."

After hearing Patriarch Dolan's plan, the elders who were working couldn't help talking. They have been high-ranking nobles since they were young. Even professionals are mostly vulgar barbarians in their eyes. Those who have never been nobles People will never be able to understand those nobles' obsession with titles, territories, and so-called noble blood. Many of them would rather lose their lives than let go of the rotten glory in their hands.

Looking at these aristocratic elders who were arguing that they should not be ashamed of their ancestors even if they died, Dolan only felt that his head was hurting like it was about to split open. A near-snarling voice roared:

"Enough, what's the proper way to make noise, live and die with the territory? The glory of the ancestors? The noble blood? Don't you feel honored until the family is wiped out and everyone is killed? You have to wait for your descendants Is the bloodline precious when you are all demoted to slaves? Or do you have the face to face your ancestors when the family is destroyed?"

Amid Dolan's roar, all the elders fell silent, and they knew intellectually that what Dolan said made sense, but emotionally, it was difficult for these people to accept the ending of the Green Vine family.

Seeing that the elders had nothing to say, Dolan stopped roaring, and his hoarse and low voice recovered again. This time, Dolan did not ask the elders for their opinions, and he issued a decisive statement in an unquestionable tone. Order:

"After the meeting, all the elders must immediately summon the family's direct bloodlines, immediately realize all the family's properties in Green Vine City, immediately recall all the private soldiers of the Luteng family who participated in the "Glory Army", and immediately disperse the collateral bloodlines to leave Dylan Kingdom, Green Vine The family is now in a state of emergency...

And... Go back and find some businessmen to study... We may become a business family in the future... ".

After finishing speaking, Dolan turned around slowly, and while walking towards the exit of the secret room with heavy steps, he said to the old soldier Bei Ge'an behind him:

"Grandpa Beige'an, I'm going to trouble you again. Now we have to gather the guards to capture Princess Trelinka. She is an apprentice-level knight, and I have to trouble you to do it once."

"It's nothing, just an apprentice-level knight, it's just a matter of little effort."

Veteran Bei Ge'an's answer was neither sad nor happy, but everyone could hear the determination and seriousness in his words.

With the opening of the heavy iron door, a gust of cold wind blew into the secret room of the Luteng family, and all the elders couldn't help shivering.

Several older elders smiled wryly and shook their heads. They knew that Dolan was also warning those elders who were unwilling to choose to give up their noble status and territory. The current Luvine family is at a huge turning point. The differences will be fragmented, which is something no one wants to see.

Fortunately, most of the elders cared about their lives more than their territories and titles. They cast sharp gazes at the elders who couldn't accept the reality, and then followed Dolan out of the secret room.

Unknowingly, night has once again enveloped the entire Lvvine City. A winter blizzard descended on this western border city in the dark. Flying snowflakes fluttered up and down in the cold wind, and pedestrians on the road flocked. He quickened his pace of going home. When the blizzard was about to arrive, even the warmer Green Vine City became bitterly cold, and the biting cold wind was no less than that in the north of Dylan Kingdom.

The cold winter of this year is as long and cold as ever, and even the most optimistic farmers have to worry about their rations for the next year.
