Working Prophet.

Chapter 693 Political Nova
Almost a month has passed since the battle in Baihe City.

Solomon has been busy recruiting new allies during this period of time. At the beginning, only some down-and-out nobles or small lords came to Lionheart Castle to try their luck with the idea of ​​gambling.

But as Solomon sent the two dragons south to help the Elves defeat the Lords of the Woodlands, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Red Lion Empire was doomed.

The lords of Hongyuan have just experienced a tragic defeat, and they are no longer afraid. As the first place to be ravaged by the winged army, the most powerful Drummond family was almost wiped out. The lord was also scared out of his wits.

The Golden Vale is in a fierce battle with the dwarves, and the Penrose family in Elk Valley is still watching as it was more than 900 years ago.

Back then, they supported the Lancayate family against Alessandro, but when they saw the situation was not good, they immediately chose to bow to the Vespasian family.

It is unrealistic to expect them to be the icing on the cake, but it is unrealistic to give timely help.

The Figuerola family in the western region lost their patriarch not long ago. Although the new patriarch, Hells, escaped the tragic battle in White River City by chance, he is still in danger right now. It is not easy to bring [-] troops home safely.

Because of the special climate and environment, the northern border has always been calm, and it still has the royal blood of Alister.

However, it is almost impossible for the Monteverde family's army alone to defeat this desperately strong winged army.

The rest of the place is even more useless.

Therefore, the current situation is already very clear. The once mighty Red Lion Empire does seem to have come to an end.

If you don't want to be buried with the Vespasian family, it's time to re-examine your previous choices.

Although the nobles of the empire have always talked about loyalty, compared with survival, loyalty seems to be less important.

So when I heard that the elves took back the land they lost 900 years ago, crossed the Spring River, and continued to march towards Lionheart Castle.

Many nobles were shaken. By the time of No. 20, finally, no longer only small nobles came to join Solomon, and some big families also sent envoys.

Among the twelve great nobles, the Bracken family was the first to bow their heads.

Their fief was very close to the Red Plains, and it happened to be on the way that the elf army was advancing, which forced them to make a decision first, because if it was too late, they might not be able to keep their fief.

With the Bracken family taking the lead, many aristocratic families who were still hesitating immediately turned to those Yi people.

Especially when Solomon promised that as long as those who surrendered in the previous seven days could continue to hold the original territory.

Many people were rushing to the Lion Heart Castle, and even made this town that had been somewhat defeated due to the war regain some excitement.

However, Solomon was not in a hurry to summon the defectors this time, but sent someone to register their names and families.

And it was announced that a martial arts competition would be held in seven days. This decision made all the nobles in the city a little confused.

Because Edward II held a contest not long ago, and the final champion was won by the female lord Ilea for the first time.

It has only been less than half a year now, Solomon suddenly announced that there will be another one, people can't guess his intention, and this time the martial arts competition has not been publicized in advance, except for those who have already rushed to the capital to surrender, no one else can do it. join.

In the end, even if the champion is decided, it seems that there is not much gold content.

Or are those Yi people just planning to take this opportunity to show off their bravery in front of everyone?

All the nobles of the empire talked about it, but no one could tell the reason. However, some people's minds moved quickly. Instead of guessing here, it is better to ask someone who may know.

And if you want to say who knows Solomon and those Yi people best in the capital now, you have to mention the two new political stars who have risen rapidly in the capital recently.

It is said that they were originally just two lowly bards, but they became nobles because of Solomon's appreciation.

Afterwards, Solomon not only gave them a lot of errands to do, but also did not hide many important things from the two of them, obviously training them as confidantes.

In contrast, Ivan, the former chief intelligence officer of the Empire who first surrendered, did not receive such treatment.

Although Solomon also used him, he used his familiarity with the imperial nobles to compile a list, which indicated who could be recruited and who was best to get rid of.

But Solomon got the list only as a reference, and didn't accept it all. Obviously, he was also wary of Ivan.

This is not difficult to understand. After all, Ivan has served the Vespasian family for many years and served three emperors.It was also normal for Solomon not to believe him right away.

In contrast, Kieran and Silverhand's backgrounds are cleaner, they are just bards, even if they once sang Ilea and Shuangxiu, in Solomon's view, that is normal behavior.

He also chatted with the compatriots who came to this continent in advance, and learned that the bards are a group of guys who like to join in the fun, they will run wherever there is excitement, and they will blow up when they catch a hero.

So Solomon didn't mind that Kieran and Silver Hand got close to Ilea before, and he didn't even have much dislike for the female lord, on the contrary, he admired the latter a little.

In a sense, the Yi tribe is also a group of very pure guys. They believe in the principle that the strong are respected, and believe that the weak should be ruled and enslaved by the strong by nature.

Therefore, the stronger the opponent is, the more respect he can get from the Yi people.

As the number one warrior in the empire, Ilea killed three Winged Warriors and even a dragon. Even if it was just a young black dragon that hadn't fully grown, it was enough to make Solomon look at her differently.

Of course, it’s just looking at them differently. In Solomon’s view, the green field is too small and there are too few people. Ilea and that weekend teacher are nothing to be afraid of.

Besides, Sharjah has already led people to the western region. Although Solomon doesn't like Sharjah, he still recognizes the latter's strength.

Ilea was almost doomed this time.

However, it has been a while since Sharjah and the others left, and they should have returned these days, but Solomon has never seen Sharjah and his party.

And with Sharjah's usual arrogant personality, he will almost certainly make a big publicity after he succeeds, and it is impossible to keep silent.

Solomon felt a little strange, but he didn't think too much, and focused on the matter at hand.

When Kieran and Silver Hand walked out of the Godwin family's mansion, they were immediately surrounded by imperial nobles who were waiting aside.
