Chapter 388 Shillington's Defeat

"Xingge, I have watched you grow up since you were a child." Marquis Shillington's face was very ugly.

"Don't flatter yourself. Which of you present here didn't watch me grow up?" Xingge said with a sneer.

Marquis Shillington's nose was almost crooked with anger.

"Xingge's tone is not right. Shillington must have offended Xingge in some way." Many important officials present thought in their hearts.

"It's really safe to have a bodyguard." Luther gave a thumbs up to Xingge in his heart.

"Your Excellency, I am asking these two gentlemen questions now." Grand Duke Buffett glanced at Marquis Shillington with a blank expression.

"Yes. Your Excellency, I am rude." Grand Duke Buffett seemed to have no emotion on his face and calm eyes, but Marquis Shillington felt a chill in his heart and admitted his mistake very well.

"You are worthy of being the prime minister of the kingdom." Luther also gave Grand Duke Buffett a thumbs up in his heart.

"Okay. Sir Pompey Knight, you can speak now." Grand Duke Buffett looked up at Old Sol with a calm look.

Old Sol couldn't help but become more serious. The pressure from this big man was not exaggerated.

"Sir, we killed people in the capital because of the kingdom." Old Sol took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

"What do you mean?"

Grand Duke Buffett asked calmly.

Other important officials thought that this guy was very cunning. He killed people but still claimed to be for the sake of the kingdom. It was obvious that he was a politician.

"The biggest enemy of the kingdom at present is the New Party. These rebels claim to let civilians become the rulers of the kingdom and hang all the nobles. Of course, this is just a slogan shouted by their senior leaders to seize power, but it cannot be denied that some of our nobles have gone too far."

"For example, the family members of His Excellency Marquis Shillington, the scumbag Lucy and Shillington who were killed by us, are bastards who specialize in luring and trafficking civilian knights. In the current situation of the New Party's chaos, although many civilian knights have joined the New Party, there are also a large number of knights who are neutral or even support the nobles. In this case, if scumbags like Lucy and Shillington are allowed to do whatever they want, the news will spread, which will force those civilian knights who are loyal to the nobles to feel shaken. Neutral civilian knights will even directly join the arms of the New Party. In disguise, the number of enemies of the kingdom has increased. I am deeply worried about this, so I can't help but kill Lucy and Shillington."

Old Sol bowed to Grand Duke Buffett, straightened his spine, and talked freely in front of the ministers.

The ministers looked at each other with a flash of light. The Prime Minister, Grand Duke Buffett, the Commander, the Legendary Dragon Knight, Grand Duke Figo, were also very calm.

They obviously didn't know who Lu Xi and Shillington were, but they obviously knew something about the abduction of civilian knights.

Because this kind of thing is not a big deal in normal times.

But now that the New Party is inciting the rebellion of civilian knights, this kind of thing has become an excuse for the New Party to attack, especially now that the decisive battle is imminent.

The face of Marquis Shillington was ashen, and he cursed Lu Xi and Shillington in his heart, saying that he was doing slave business.

This bastard.

But Marquis Shillington had to stand up at this time. This matter could not be swallowed like this, otherwise it would be a great blow to the reputation of the Shillington family.

"You are lying. People in our Shillington family will never do such a dirty and despicable business." Marquis Shillington argued loudly.

"Enough, Your Excellency, save some face for yourself." Grand Duke Buffett glanced at Marquis Shillington.

Marquis Shillington also happily kept silent.

The two of them suppressed the matter silently. Marquis Shillington's loud defense was just a gesture. And Grand Duke Buffett's words were also just a gesture.

Because Lucy, the matter of Shillington was not investigated.

Everyone knew it well. In order to preserve the reputation of the Shillington family, Marquis Shillington did not want to investigate further, and Grand Duke Buffett could also give face to the Shillington family and not continue to investigate.

So far, Lucy Shillington's death is equivalent to a death in vain.

No one will continue to entangle in this matter.

Luther quietly avenged Xiao Baicai and the others.

"I accept this statement and judge you not guilty. Your Excellency, continue." Duke Buffett said calmly.

"The purpose of my father and I coming to the capital is to meet the king and ask the king to confer our Pompeii family as direct vassal of the king."

Old Sol bared his fangs and leaned forward.

The important officials at the scene were in an uproar.

All the truth was revealed.

Why did this father and son choose such a grand way to appear? In one day, all the bigwigs in the capital knew about Pompeii and his son.

As everyone knows, the relationship between the king and the great nobles in the real world is lingering, and they are in appearance but not in spirit.

After that war, the king no longer conferred titles on the great nobles in the real world.

Even if there was no war, the first condition is required to confer a title on a great noble.

The simplest condition is that the king must know you, and you must have great ability.

Pompey and his son obtained this condition, stepped on the head of the Shillington family, and climbed up.

In one day, Pompey and his son were known to everyone.

It turned out that Marquis Shillington was just a stepping stone for the Pompey family. The important officials looked at Marquis Shillington with pity, this poor guy.

Marquis Shillington obviously understood this truth, and his eyes were blazing, wishing to kill the bastard father and son immediately.

This feud was made.

Originally, it was impossible for the king to confer a title on a great noble again, but now that the new party was in chaos, it was an opportunity.

The kingdom was already in turmoil, and it was necessary to unite all forces to resist the new party.

Not to mention a knight of the earth holding a bloodthirsty battle axe, and an eagle king. Don’t look at the big figures in the capital. Many of them are titled knights and magicians.

But the problem is that the new party also has a similar number of title knights. It is extremely important for us to add two people at this time.

This is an opportunity to open the door for the royal family to no longer confer titles on the great nobles.

I have to admit that this father and son really see things clearly.

Grand Duke Buffett was silent for a moment, and then said: "Conferring titles is a big deal, and only the king can make the decision."

"Ta Ling, can you contact the king?" Grand Duke Buffett asked.

A ball of red light appeared again, and Wangdu Ta Ling said: "Just contacted."

"I'll ask the king, do you have anything to say to the king?" Grand Duke Buffett asked.

"Please tell the king that the decisive battle is imminent. The great nobles of Orange have basically been defeated, leaving only Duke Figol and Count Libya. We Pompey intend to lead a part of the forces, together with the Duke and Count, to wipe out the new party in Orange and contribute to the kingdom. However, there is no legitimate name, so please make an exception and confer new vassals."

Old Sol bowed and said.

Grand Duke Buffett's eyes flashed, and then he asked Wangdu Talling: "Is the gate of the capital closed?"

When chaos occurs in the capital, the gate will be closed as usual, and no one is allowed to enter or leave.

As a magic city, the capital can definitely do this.

"It's closed." Wangdu Talling replied.

"Keep it closed, and don't open it without my order." Grand Duke Buffett said, then he stood up and walked to the second floor and said to everyone.

"Wait a minute!"
