Scene 142 Witch Rebellion V

Under the gaze of everyone, Shi Shiran opened the door on the second floor, but what walked out from behind the door was not Brando or the former's attendant as imagined by the nobles, but a man wearing a noble robe, with gray hair and a face. Everyone was stunned by the trembling Metz nobleman, who was covered with wrinkles and age spots, because this man was none other than the lord of Fatan City, Baron Ludwig Metz. . ybdu. In complete silence, the Baron slowly came to the armrest and glanced at everyone with dignity. His eyes only stayed on Count Alcorns and others for a moment, and then he said: "You are all guests in my territory. I Welcome, I have also heard about what happened in the south, and I am deeply sorry for this, but why did you gather in my castle today?"

There was a dead silence, and the nobles downstairs couldn't help but look at each other, wondering if this old guy was under house arrest. Why did he suddenly appear in this place? Could it be that he was forced to speak under pressure, and the other party wanted to use this to force them to leave? This method was a bit too hateful. The downstairs fell silent for a while, as if a punch hit the air. Everyone wanted to wait until the leading nobles spoke, but Earl Alcorns and the other five people were too late. After a long delay in speaking, an impatient noble finally couldn't bear it and stood up: "Lord Baron, please let the Earl of Fir in Eruin come out. We are here to find him."

"The head of the Eruin envoy is a distinguished guest. What do you want from him?" the baron asked.

No, Earl Alcorns' heart sank, and the feeling of conspiracy in his heart became more and more obvious. He looked back and saw that the faces of several people around him had similar expressions, but at this time, he had no time to stop his men. He opened his mouth, but saw the nobleman who spoke at the beginning replied loudly: "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 to clean up the situation. Now the situation is clear. Eruin You wouldn’t want to occupy your port, sir, right?”

"Shut up!" Baron Metz's face suddenly darkened, and his voice was as cold as a layer of frost, which actually made everyone downstairs feel trembling. Of course, this does not mean that Baron Metz's status is the highest among all, but it's just that He is now condescending and the master of this place. Occupying the geographical advantage, he naturally won the victory in terms of momentum: "I am the city lord of Port Fatan, and everything here is naturally decided by me. You are my guests, and the Eruin envoy is also my guest. I hope you will not cause trouble here, so as not to tarnish the image of the imperial nobility."

These words made everyone dumbfounded, and for a while they couldn't find a reason to refute it, of course from a logical point of view. These words are flawless at all, but everyone knows very well that you, Ludwig Metz, are some kind of city lord at this time, at best a puppet. However, these words cannot be put on the table, and all the nobles suddenly His face looked very strange, as if he was constipated.

Sure enough--

Count Alkans' face was as dark as water. He had long expected that Brando would not be so easy to talk to. This slap in the face was something he had expected. Somehow, he felt relieved. The other party released Baron Metz, which showed that there was still room for negotiation in the other party's heart, and at least they didn't intend to make things too tense.

He frowned again, but playing such tricks was a trivial matter after all. If Brando doesn't want to see them, he can just drive them away. There is no need to use such tricks. Although cleverness can fool people for a while, it is at this time. It will only make people look down on him, or it may mean that the young man has other motives.

But no matter what the purpose was, Baron Metz's words had blocked the room for others to speak. Count Alcorns understood that he had no choice but to speak. He pondered for a moment before raising his head and said: "Mr. Baron, no matter what, Being trapped here is not an option right now, and we can't always be guests here. We have to come up with a solution. The situation in the empire is currently in chaos. His Majesty and the rebels are fighting in the Zweig area, and Jorgandigan and the Lion Your Majesty's army has been inspired by our emperor to defect, and now the White Army has entered the Port of Columbia, which is only three days away from Fatan. We are hesitant and may be regarded as a rebel party."

As soon as Count Alcorns finished speaking, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. He suddenly remembered that Baron Metz was a vassal of Duke Reina. Now that the Duke clearly sides with the military nobles, isn't the former's position self-evident? As expected, before he could change his words, Baron Metz interrupted him calmly: "I agree with most of what you said, Lord Count, but I have reservations about some of them. Constance colluded with the evil dragon to kill her father and ascend the throne, and I doubt whether such a vicious woman who is trying to attack the princes to subvert the empire can still be called the emperor of the empire."

This sentence was like a bomb dropped into the water, immediately causing thousands of waves, and the nobles were in an uproar, both for the words spoken by Baron Metz, and for the audacious act of Baron Metz.

The humming sound resounded through the hall again, but this time Count Alkans had no intention of restraining his men. He felt sweat suddenly appear on his forehead. He never expected that this old man looked like an old man. The old dog-like Baron was so vicious, forcing the person to a desperate situation as soon as he opened his mouth. He almost wanted to reach out to wipe the sweat, but finally calmed down, and breathed out: "Lord Baron, please pay attention to your words... …”

"Why, the count doesn't believe what I say?" Baron Metz sneered.

"Of course, there may be some rumors that are unfavorable to Her Majesty the Queen, but they are just a way for the enemy to deceive the world and steal reputation, and are not worth mentioning-"

Count Alkans's words suddenly stopped. He suddenly reacted and suddenly realized that the Lord of Fatan City in front of him did not seem to be forced by Brando. If the other party was just a puppet, then he did not need to fight for words. achieve this situation. He suddenly thought of a terrible possibility, and the cold sweat on his forehead couldn't stop for a while, and stains fell down. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Baron Metz, realizing that he might have been fooled.

"Count Alcorns, it seems that you are planning to stand on the opposite side of the empire."

"I..." Even though Count Alkans' status in the empire was slightly higher than that of Baron Metz, he was speechless at this moment. At this time, other people in the hall saw that the situation was a little vague. No, for a moment they all wisely chose to remain silent. Even Count Jean next to Count Alcorns was careful not to say a word. Rogers raised his head. From the corner of his eye, he noticed that the corners of the second floor of the hall were already filled with knights in heavy armor. The battle robes on these knights were clearly in the style of the Cruz Empire. They were obviously not the Eruin army.

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

Count Alcorns finally wiped his sweat and asked: "Mr. Baron, what do you mean?"

"That's what I mean." A man's voice sounded from behind Baron Metz. All the nobles present saw Baron Metz respectfully step back and let the man come forward. In fact, Count Alcorns didn't even need to see the man's appearance, just to hear his voice, his His face had changed drastically. He raised his head almost in disbelief, and sure enough he saw that handsome, indifferent face appearing in his field of vision.

At this moment, Count Alkans' expression was extremely strange, but fortunately, no one could laugh at his ridiculous expression, because there were dozens of faces in the hall. It was surprisingly unanimous. When they saw the young man appear from behind Baron Metz, many people actually let out the slightest gasp.

"The Emperor...His Royal Highness, the eldest son of the Emperor?"

"Why, are you surprised to see me?" Prince Lenaret said with a cold look on his face: "Or are you saying that because you received my obituary in advance, you now suspect that I am a fake?"

"No...don't dare..."

"Okay, now I want to tell you some news. My mother has been harmed by the Union of All Things, and now they are colluding with the Min'er people to subvert the empire. And persecute my brothers and sisters. I now ask all nobles in the entire empire to Heed my call. Join King Qin's rebel army and save the empire from collapse." Lenaret didn't seem to be informing the news, but rather giving an order. He didn't even need any recognition, as if he was simply expressing himself. Position: "Do you understand?"

We..., Count Alcorns was still pondering the word. But the eldest son of the emperor didn't seem to need their answer at all. He pointed directly: "Count Alkans, Count Jean, and my inner court knights, come up to see me. Everyone else, disperse!"

…

"Will these people be obedient?" While the eldest son of the emperor was showing off his power, Roman, Brando and Fuluo were actually standing in the hall on the second floor watching the farce not far away. The businesswoman asked curiously road.

Brando shook his head silently: "That is the Cruz people's own business." He paused and added: "There are many forces within the empire. In fact, the Silver Queen only controls the nobles of Cloak Bay, that is, It is said that the only ones who are truly loyal to her are the White Legion and part of the Imperial Navy. Even the Red Legion has to give a big discount, otherwise the wind elves have been in a truce for several weeks, and there is no trace of them in the Clover Plain. Reaction? As for the remaining mountain people and Seniyas, they are all ethnic minorities within the empire. Since they are called ethnic minorities, as the name suggests, there will not be too many people, and the army will be even smaller. Compared with the several main legions of the empire, Compared with that, it is not worth mentioning at all. The last remaining witches and Min'er people are not even a fraction. The empire is a behemoth. These powers may be very strong in the hands of a lord, but they are not even if they are placed within the empire. It’s nothing, at least it can’t determine the balance of power within the empire.”

"I understand," the businesswoman suddenly realized: "The reason why Ludwig's nobles suffered successive defeats is because they are scattered, fighting on their own, and have their own plans, just like business investment without a clear purpose, wandering around, naturally It’s easy to invite failure.”

"Smart," Brando patted Roman's forehead approvingly, causing the latter to glare at him repeatedly. He smiled and said: "There will be many opponents in the empire, and the Temple of Fire has more die-hard loyalists than you think. Much more, but these forces are too fragmented. No single force can be an opponent of Her Majesty the Queen. Everyone has the idea of ​​​​preserving oneself wisely. This is not surprising. In the case of absolute strength comparison, except for a few extreme cases, Except for the example, 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 interest to rely on, it will be different."

"Common interests rely on," Fuluo glanced at Brando strangely: "Lord, are you talking about the eldest son of the emperor?"

Brando chuckled: "I told you before, this guy is a rare guy."

"Brando, when did you say that?" The businesswoman raised her eyebrows curiously.

"Of course I said it, otherwise why would I keep him?" After his bragging was exposed, the young earl couldn't help but get a little angry: "You know at that time, it was not easy for me to conceal the whereabouts of the next heir to the empire. Things, and taking great political and diplomatic risks, if I had not seen today’s gains, how could I have convinced our stubborn princess?”

Out of familiarity with Brando's usual character, Roman glanced at him suspiciously, but Fuluo seemed to believe it. The wild elf girl frowned slightly: "The forces in the Cruz Empire are complicated. Which ones are loyal to the Silver Queen, and which ones are not? They are loyal to the eldest son of the emperor. What is their relationship? Have you investigated this, Lord?"

"Naturally," Brando sighed: "The Cruz people are too close to us, and the empire is too powerful. We can not understand ourselves, but we must understand the empire."

Fromo ran, she was born in Allanta, which was isolated from the world. Although she later traveled to White City with her sister like many other wild elves, she joined the mercenary group there and became a mercenary wizard. The Ten Cities area is also full of intertwined forces, and city-states often compete with each other and scheming. However, as a mercenary, you often don’t need to consider so many things, and it is difficult to experience the feeling of being frightened and walking on thin ice all day long. Until now, At this moment, she seemed to get to know the young lord next to her again, and couldn't help but frown and give the latter a complicated look.

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

One day, Eruin will no longer need to rely on others to survive. At that time, Eruin will also have a vast territory and strong strength. The Eruin people will no longer need to guess other people's thoughts 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 Valkyrie come true.

Brando suddenly recalled the princess and Valkyrie in the game. They were very different from today's Griffin and Freya. The environment and suffering had changed them, but today's Eruin also No more princesses and valkyries like that.

Because Eruin no longer needs people, its people shed silent tears for it.

When he came to his senses, the conversation in the hall was coming to an end. "What did you see, Fro?" Brando suddenly turned around and asked.

Fuluo was slightly startled, as if she had woken up from something. She blushed rarely, and quickly shook her head and said, "What did you see?"

"Earl Alkans did not come voluntarily. He is the leader of the nobles. If he has no intention of inciting these people, what does it mean?" Brando sneered: "I was a little curious at first. I thought it would be done in Port Loon. I have given these nobles a profound lesson, and they should not be able to heal their scars so quickly and forget about the pain. Now that I think about it, I probably didn’t miss anything, but there was another reason behind it.”

Fuluo frowned slightly. If she still couldn't hear the meaning in her lord's words, then her so-called lord's secretary was in vain: "Lord, you are saying that someone is instigating behind these nobles? Who is it?"

"I didn't know," Brando replied coldly: "But it's a pity that some people were too anxious and exposed the fox's tail."

"The fox's tail is exposed," Roman chuckled, "This description is particularly appropriate."
