Steel, Guns, and the Industrial Party that Traveled to Another World

Chapter 229

"The deepest room in the dungeon is one of the entrances to a secret underground passage that leads directly to the outside of Center City. It was dug by the Ferdinand family to prevent unexpected events. I ran out through the underground passage."

In Earl Parker's castle, Viscount Henry told in detail how he escaped from trouble.

Paul took a piece of paper filled with fine writing and looked at it carefully. According to Viscount Henry, it was a personal letter from his brother to him. The handwriting on it is a bit sloppy, as if the writer had written it in a hurry.

Underground passages are not uncommon. It is the instinct of every lord to prepare more roads for themselves. There is also a tunnel in the castle in Lake Town that is unknown to outsiders.

As for the content of the letter, it describes a terrible thing: Count Malzkent controlled Duke Ferdinand, the letter writer himself, and under his pressure, the Duke had no choice but to pass the title to him in public. And Malz'Kent is planning to betray the Kingdom of Aldo and stand on his own in the northwest while the main force of the royal army moves south to fight against the Giles rebels.

As for how the Duke was controlled, the words in the letter made Paul's eyes jump.

"Disgusting bugs", "magic", "witchcraft"...

The Duke used a series of words that sounded like gibberish to outsiders, but Paul, who had had close contact with wizards, knew that this might be true.

"Henry, I have regained a little control of my brain now and struggled to write this letter. I can't do it anyway. His evil witchcraft has exhausted my energy. I hope you can help me after reading it. I take revenge and save the Ferdinand family. Now that the traitor Maltz has secretly monitored every member of our family, I will find a way to help you get rid of his surveillance..."

The end of the letter read like this. Paul fell into deep thought, thinking of the mysterious mage organization "Arcana" that he had known before. Could they be related to Malzkent's conspiracy?

"Although it is a bit sloppy, I can confirm that this letter is indeed written by the Duke himself. I recognize his handwriting."

Seeing Paul lost in thought, Earl Parker thought he was doubting the authenticity of the letter.

"I bet my reputation and my family's reputation that this letter is true and everything I said is true."

Henry also immediately swore.

Paul raised his head and asked, "What are your plans? What can we do?"

"Of course we must immediately launch an army to attack that bastard..."

Viscount Henry was about to speak, but was stopped by Earl Parker.

"This matter needs long-term consideration. We cannot act rashly for the time being. The Kent family itself is powerful, and now the Duke is controlled by them. Of course, a head-on battle is inevitable. That guy Malzkent is not our alliance. Someone who will just hold back his hands if he makes an announcement."

Although he had some doubts about the "witchcraft" in the letter, there was no doubt that Duke Ferdinand had to obey Kent's orders.

He had doubts when the Duke designated Kent as his heir at the birthday party. Under normal circumstances, the title would not fall into the hands of the Kent family. Even if the members of this family were incompetent, it would not be wrong if there were collateral families closer to the Kent family. No.

Price Parker was planning to go against Malz Kent, because his family had a rift with the Kent family before, of course, secretly.

Paul pondered: "Uh... I think..."

"Count Greyman!"

Earl Parker put on a serious expression on his face, "You don't have any hope for that guy from Kent, do you? Have you forgotten the conflict between your two families last year? I don't have to guess to know that that guy will definitely ask you He made many excessive demands, not just you, but many lords in the Northwest Gulf suffered from it. "

Last year there was great tension between the Gleiman family and the Kent family, and they almost came to blows. Although neither of them announced the reason, the lords probably guessed what happened. Alda made a lot of money, and the Earl of Kent was jealous. That’s who he is anyway.

Earl Parker continued: "Huh! When he becomes a Duke, will he be able to enjoy our good fruits? What's more serious is that he will launch a rebellion. We are all His Majesty's subjects. Do we allow him to cause such rebellion? ?”

"To be honest, we have talked with several lords. They all hate Malzkent, the traitor, and we are ready to unite to deal with him."

The old earl stared at Paul with sharp eyes and asked: "Count Greyman, Earl Garnard, what do you two mean?"

Damn it, Paul groaned secretly in his heart. It seemed that he had to choose a team to stand on. These two groups of people were right next to his territory. It was impossible to stay away from the incident now.

"What are your plans?"

he asked Myron quietly.

"Of course, we are dealing with Earl Parker and others against Malz Kent. Have you forgotten the Kent family's extortion against us last year?"

"Well, I think so too, but..."

Paul turned to Price Parker and asked loudly: "Lord Parker, how many lords have you summoned?"

There is no mistake. One post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, one read!

Earl Parker smiled slightly, he saw the doubts in Paul's heart.

"Paul, our strength is definitely considerable. But I also understand your concerns. Let's do this. In a few days, I will invite everyone to discuss the matter. You can go back first and come back then. Of course, You can also stay here for a few days until everyone comes over."

It seems that Earl Parker is quite confident.

"Then let's come back in a few days. Myron and I also hate Malzkent. If you can really gather a strong force, I will definitely participate."

"Okay, that's it, I'll let you know when the time comes."

After the formal discussions were completed, everyone began to enjoy dinner. After eating, Paul and Myron took their leave and went back to the guest room to rest.

Viscount Henry stayed, and he cautiously asked Earl Parker: "My lord, how much help can these two people give us? I heard that the Gleyman family has always been weak, and the Garner family just experienced almost everything last year. Rebellion of vassals."

"Haha." Duke Parker twirled his beard.

"Henry, don't look at it with old eyes. Let's leave Bailding aside. Alda is no longer what it used to be. The pirates in the northwest bay were wiped out by the Grayman family, although they took advantage of the fact that the bandit leader Edward was missing. , The pirates are leaderless, but this is not something that a count can do casually. Moreover, the Bailding rebellion was also put down with the help of the Grayman family. You know, there are many knights under those rebels. ”

"I believe it would be beneficial to have them participate in our program."
