Chapter 571 The Divorce of the Marquis of the River (Thanks to Dearjuy for February, ticket)
"Make a change?" Jessica was slightly taken aback.

Originally, her hand was already touching the handle of the knife on the top of the boot, but when she heard her father's words, she couldn't help but stop.

Let's listen to what my father has to say first.

"Yes, it's time for a change."

The Marquis of the River stood up from the big chair tiredly, with helplessness written all over his face: "That's right, Jessica. I have decided to lead the family to surrender."

"Surrender?"

Jessica's expression didn't fluctuate much, because this sentence was completely expected.

But... is His Royal Highness Sean willing to accept their surrender?
She shook her head vigorously: "Impossible, father. You have done so many wrong things, it is impossible for His Highness Xiao En to forgive you!"

Jessica was a little desperate.

Sure enough, the only way to keep the family alive is to kill his father?
Jessica's right hand touched the handle of the knife again.
.
Although the Marquis of the River didn't know what his daughter was going to do, he had soaked in the pond called "Conspiracy" for many years and noticed that something was wrong.

So he immediately said: "Jessica, wait! When I said surrender, I didn't mean Sean surrender!"

"??? Apart from Sean, do we have other surrender targets?"

Jessica was overwhelmed by the bewildering remarks of the Marquis of the River.

Instead of surrendering to His Royal Highness Sean, could it be surrendering to Alexander Lane of Palomia?People probably don't want to talk to them.

"Our surrender target." The Marquis of the River paused for a moment, and then said seriously: "The one we want to surrender to is Anduin, the consul of River Beach Town, not Xiao En."

"Is there any difference?"

"Of course there is a difference!" The Marquis of Rivers said while taking out the information collected by the intelligence department recently:
"According to the information we have obtained, this priest named Anduin has a high decision-making power within Xiao En's forces, and he can make many important decisions by himself, without asking Sean for instructions.

For example, he used to be in charge of River Beach Town alone, and Sean hardly cared about River Beach Town;
Recently, he has been recruiting and training troops in Port Kapoor. He can fully control this army, and Sean has not returned from Rhodes Island so far.

Such a powerful guy, I guess, he probably already has the idea of ​​independent Xiao En's forces, but the time is not yet ripe. "

"You think too much!"

Jessica questioned: "I don't think there is any conflict between him and Sean! On the contrary, they seem to get along very well."

"It's all appearances, Jessica."

The Marquis of the River looked at his daughter with the eyes of a "comer":

"Anduin has too much power in Xiao En's forces, facing such a powerful minister, it is difficult not to arouse the suspicion of the leader.

Sean is not a leader like Saint Alex Violet who crushes his subordinates in terms of strength, and sooner or later there will be conflicts between them. "

The Marquis of Hehe walked slowly to the window and looked out the window: "Even if there is no conflict between them, we can find a way to create conflict between them!
As long as there are conflicts between them, our family still has the opportunity to fish in troubled waters! "

"Uh...you, what you said makes sense."

Jessica nodded,
If the father can successfully divorce, Anduin may reuse their family against Xiao En, so that they have a chance to make a comeback.

Although the chance is not great, it may be the only chance for this kind of River family!

So Jessica said goodbye to her father and left the study of the Marquis of the Rivers.

As for the plan to assassinate his father, it has been forgotten in the clouds.

After making the decision to surrender, the Marquis of the River did not hesitate.

He immediately ordered his subordinates to make a "Surrender to Anduin" announcement, and posted the announcement at every important intersection in Jorn City.

Naturally, these announcements caused an uproar in Jorn City.

Soon, the news that "the Marquis of the River announced his unconditional surrender" spread throughout the city of Jorn.

The residents in the city were overjoyed, and immediately organized carnival parades and celebration parties, and laughter filled every corner of Jorn City;
The aristocrats are more worried, they are more afraid of some special means that Sean will use to deal with them.

They know that Sean has adopted a very low tax rate in the territory, and they don't know if this will affect them;
There are some other things that don't matter, such as the magic guild and other organizations.

In short, the hearts of the people in Jorn City became extremely restless.
.
At the same time, the Marquis of the River also sent a messenger, riding the fastest horse in the city, to deliver the "surrender request" document to Anduin who was in Kapur Harbor.

Moreover, the Marquis of the River also specifically explained that it must be handed over to Anduin before Sean returned to Port Kapoor.

Of course, the courier did not dare to slack off, and he was on his way wholeheartedly.

Jorn City is about 200 kilometers away from Kapur Port, and there are mountains and rivers in the middle.

It took only half a day for the envoy to arrive at Kapoor Port. The tired horses lost weight, and it is estimated that it will take many days to recover.
.
At this time, Anduin was discussing the improvement of [Explosive Crystal] with [Shadow Jeweler Hannal] in the Artisan Guild.

After all, the number of monster cores is scarce, and the price fluctuates greatly. If alternative resources can be found, more chips can be prepared for war in the future.

At this moment, a [Silver Hand recruit] came in and saluted Anduin:

"My lord, the envoy of the Marquis of the River has come to Kapoor Port, saying that they have announced the official surrender and will hand over the surrender document to you."

"Wow, the Marquis of the River has surrendered?" Anduin was surprised.

But in an instant, he felt dull again: "It's boring, I wanted to experiment with the application of the 'Magic Crystal Cannon' in siege warfare, but I didn't expect them to surrender so quickly, and they didn't even give them a chance to use it."

While speaking, Anduin stood up from his seat, and said to the recruit in front of him, "Please bring the envoy to the hall of the Craftsman Association, and I will meet him there."

"Okay, Lord Anduin." The Silver Hand recruit went to lead the order.
.
After more than ten minutes, Anduin saw the messenger in the hall.

This emissary was the bodyguard of the He family, and he was a pretty good-looking young man, but his complexion was a little pale because of the long journey.

The emissary saw Anduin's portrait, and immediately recognized the handsome man in front of him as Anduin.

So the messenger immediately untied the backpack, took out the document inside, went to Anduin and knelt down on one knee, and handed the surrender document to Anduin.

"Lord Anduin, this is a surrender document signed by my lord Mason Rivers. We are willing to surrender to you and join your command to serve you for the rest of our lives.

I only hope that you can forgive our mistakes and promise our surrender. "
