I have a shelter

The political quality of Grand Duke Violet, or the current His Majesty Phillips, is extraordinary. That's not all that's being played.

The tide in the Holy See has changed, but not enough. The Elda royal family has also been secretly wrestling with the Campbell family through part of the royal family's power in St. Wilmick's Cathedral to influence the Holy See.

At this time, the Campbell family was completely tied to the chariot and could no longer get off. Because if you chant at this time, not only will all the previous work be in vain, but the reformists, conservatives of the Holy See, and its nobles will also be completely offended by them.

And in a flash of his hands, His Majesty Phillips reached a new agreement with the Kingdom of Elda - Prince Robert's uncle!

This move almost hit the Campbell family's Achilles' heel! It also caused a complete change in the direction of the entire Elda royal family and the 'St. Wilmick's Cathedral'.

The Campbells had to stand firmly on the side of Prince Robert, and the next best thing was to hope that this prince who favored the Campbell family would win the throne, not his hateful uncle!

Now, even Vic White has wavered, causing the coalition forces to move eastward. Duke Yongfeng defends Bishui City on the grounds of leaving a way out.

The Kingdom of Landry is still supporting the Grand Duke Yongfeng. With the battle ahead, the Rodunk nobles who have been singing defeat before have also begun to commotion. As long as someone takes the lead, this second army of nobles will go to the front line.

But Grand Duke Yongfeng has been suppressing them. He planned to pull this group of troops into Bishui City to carry out his 'iron wall strategy'.

"George, the main battle has become a foregone conclusion. At this time when the world is changing, it is the opportunity to make contributions. There is no point in winning over the nobles to side with Grand Duke Yongfeng. I have talked with Tanya. I hope she Can help us and lead the nobles to add strength to the front line. But Tanya seems to be firmly on the side of Grand Duke Yongfeng, and I can't watch Tanya go on this wrong path - George, I. Want to hear your opinion."

The ancient gold coins in George's hand turned over.

With the current situation, I'm afraid that 'Count Black Pearl' can affect more than just the nobles of the Western Region - Black Pearl itself is a prince in the kingdom, and now, it is the entire Rodunk Kingdom whose strength is best preserved. . The significance of its wind direction to the entire Rodenk nobility is self-evident.

And this rear area of ​​the Western Territory will even affect Duke Yongfeng!

George looked at Tanya downstairs. After the two looked at each other, he understood what this guy was thinking - my brother's side is left to you.

The attitude that Tanya showed towards Leiden before was completely due to the strategy she had formulated before.

In addition, this girl probably thinks the same way in her heart - most of the knights and guards around those nobles are frightened cowards. And the militias and mercenaries who were hired with money are useless. Even cannon fodder looks down upon them, that is, idiots like the Noble Alliance, who have never seen the power of demons, think they can fight with the help of militia - if it is only the zombie tide, it is indeed possible.

‘Sister, you still haven’t grasped the essence of banditry’

This is a great opportunity to spend other people's money to help yourself with human trafficking! Is there anything more beautiful than this in the world?

The physical fitness of these people who were selected with money is very good, and the guards and knights are even more meat in their mouths. How can they not cheat them?

As for the promises made by those nobles - they are all farts! Only an honest girl like Tanya would have such a psychological burden

‘It doesn’t matter, I will help you put down this psychological burden. ’ George secretly laughed: ‘Build up your reputation. The more you refuse, the more they will think your credibility is reliable - we are sure to take advantage of these nobles. ’

After thinking about it, George looked at Earl Leyton who had been staring at him, smiled slightly, and said meaningfully: "My lord Earl Leyton, my opinion is not important, what is important is your opinion. ”

"Hey," Layton said with a headache: "My sister is very stubborn, as you know. And I think Earl Black Pearl may not understand the situation here."

George interrupted him directly: "My lord, don't you think that if Earl Jagger marries Her Royal Highness the Princess, the nobles of Black Pearl shouldn't get something they deserve? Or do you think that you can give away nothing?" "

Earl Leyton's eyes narrowed slightly.

"The ones who decide who the princess will marry are not His Majesty Phillips and Grand Duke Yongfeng. They are the leaders of this battle." George quietly raised his butcher knife.

He picked up Earl Leiden's hand and placed the ancient gold coin in his hand: "This chip can tilt the balance in Jagger's hand."

He took the gold coin back and looked at the priests below: "Of course, it can also be in the hands of 'His Majesty Phillips' - do you think the ages of His Royal Highness Robert and His Highness the Princess are really suitable? And Can the current main battle situation really stop the car? "

Earl Leyton felt slightly dizzy in his head.

Indeed, just like the 'Domele Dominoes', as long as the black pearl pulls up many nobles, it is enough to tip the entire balance!

And the last weight represented by the black pearl also represents the direction in which the balance is tilted!

And once the Kingdom of Rodenk stands behind Robert's uncle, his uncle, whose inheritance rights will take precedence over the little prince, may really become the next king.

And if the weight in the hands of 'Your Majesty Phillips' is enough, then whether to marry the princess or not, or even when to pass on the throne, is not something the Elda royal family can decide!

Earl Leiden couldn't help but take a deep look at this person again. He suddenly realized that the person in front of him was probably not as simple as an important guest.

But a wolf that broke into this grand banquet! ! !

"Your Excellency George, your mouth is too wide, be careful not to swallow anything." Earl Leiden looked at George and said: "This political game is probably much more complicated than you think - the sharing of benefits is always fair. . And politics also require compromise. In fact, in order to allow the Thorn Bird Templars to continue to support the Kingdom of Rodunk, Grand Duke Yongfeng and His Majesty Phillips considered persuading Elizabeth and Jagger. Marriage between brother and sister - it is a tradition for two families to marry, and as the Earl of Black Pearl, Elizabeth is extremely rational. The significance of the Kingdom of Elda to the Black Pearl Valley is self-evident. If Tanya had been a man, the two would have been married long ago. Give birth."

"George, I am willing to be honest with you." Earl Leiden tried to regain control: "You should understand what this matter means to you and Tanya. But if you can help Jagger marry the princess, then everything will be over. If you follow Grand Duke Yongfeng and His Majesty Phillips, you won't get anything real, but I can make a promise to you on behalf of the Campbell family - as long as you follow the Thorn Birds, the prince will grant the title of Grand Duke Black Pearl who regains the royal capital. , and give up part of Elda's fiefdom on the edge of the valley to Black Pearl!"

Looking at the ambitious Campbell, it was not difficult for George to think of what this princely position meant to the entire Campbell family - Elda's true royal power.

By now, he understood. Originally, the Campbell family no longer had extravagant hopes for all this. They just settled for the next best thing, hoping that after Robert married Her Majesty the Queen, the Campbell family would be able to gain a foothold in the super dynasty that would be established after the merger of Elda and Rodenk in the future.

But now, a bigger gift has been placed in front of them.

——At this most important time, it was not Elizabeth who led the Black Pearl troops, but Tanya! This is a great opportunity for Leiden and others!

"You should know that this promise is far more frank than that 'Her Majesty Phillips' who broke his promise - Tanya Campbell will be the seal of this agreement, and the future prince will also We need the support of Grand Duke Black Pearl—the future Queen and Prince of Rodenk, and we also need someone who can stand in the same position as Grand Duke Yongfeng!”

"I believe what you said." George looked at Earl Leyton and said meaningfully: "Even if His Majesty's compromise with the Campbell family has not been reached yet, it is still late."

Earl Leyton nodded and looked at the dance floor below, where the banquet was about to end: "You are a smart man. I hope you can understand that breaking up will not do any good for us. And Campbell As the first comers, the family can still take the lead in many things - you should know that this is related to your future and interests. "

"Lord Layton, there is one thing I hope you can understand." George said: "No matter whose decision it is, it will not affect the future of the Black Pearl Valley - the inheritance rights have been determined, Elizabeth will not marry anyone, and the Earl of Black Pearl The marriage contract cannot be arranged by any Grand Duke or His Majesty."

Earl Leyton's body swayed slightly. He looked at this man and said, "Your Excellency George Bolton, is your tone a bit too loud?"

"I'm afraid I have to disappoint you, my Earl of Leyton." George said slowly: "Not only do I have a big mouth, I also have a big appetite."

Earl Leiden's eyes turned slightly red. He didn't want to continue arguing with this person. He asked directly: "What do you want?"

"We can help you raise the army of nobles, or we can stand on your side - after all, Tanya is your sister. But there are some things you must be satisfied with." George stretched out a finger: "Luoye City We also want to take a sip of this cup.”

Hearing this, Earl Leiden couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief - this request sounded a bit funny, his mouth was so wide open, but he only asked for this little, this person was indeed interesting enough.

It seems that this is the last bit of extra that this person wants.

After all, no one knows the last thing. It’s also appropriate to ask for a deposit first.

The Earl nodded and said: "Luoye City itself is to support the entire battlefield. When Rodunk's coalition troops go to the front line to fight, there is no reason to provide their own supplies. Of course, the situation of the various lords' fiefdoms in the western region is indeed the same. It requires a lot of things. We will do our best to lean towards Black Pearl on this matter, please rest assured.”

"I think you misunderstood, sir." George looked at Martin below and said to Leighton: "What do you think of Baron Martin, being your deputy?"

Earl Leyton's eyes widened.

He opened his mouth and asked for half of Luoye City!

"Earl Leiden, I brought the first batch of food and grass from the front line. Now, it's time to get it back with profit."

When George entered Windsong City, no one knew his last name, and the Duke only knew that there was a knight named George who might be the real leader. Therefore, his words did not affect his current identity.

Leiden's eyes narrowed slightly, waiting for his next words - Earl Leiden felt that the guy in front of him was about to swallow half of the 'Sennas River' as soon as he took a breath, and now I am afraid that no matter what he is saying, he will No more surprises.

George said: "You must give this power. Because it is not only related to the entire battle ahead, but also related to the future and interests of your entire family."

"Your Excellency, these words are a bit serious." Earl Leiden narrowed his eyes slightly.

"It's not serious at all, my lord." George smiled, waved to Earl Leiden, and walked into a study room: "The establishment of a noble army requires someone from Black Pearl to help you build it, and what is really happening here is The resources needed and our support are needed - this will be a real win-win deal for the future."

After hearing this, Earl Leiden suddenly thought of something in his mind and followed George.

When the door closed, he saw that George had spread the map in the study on the table.

He pointed to the long river in the south of the valley and said: "You should be familiar with the area where this long river flows - many locations are the fiefdoms of the Campbell family, and the final destination is the Bishui City valley. I think you should have some idea of ​​the food and ore - in exchange, you send the supplies into the valley, and we will provide you with important supplies which will be used on the front line and which will be used for the Campbell family's army. It’s up to you.”

‘If there’s time,’ George said to himself.

George retracted his hand and said: "Miss Tanya can still take charge of this small matter. The ore and grain in this valley have been accumulated for ten years. Since then, the military resources have also been endless - the two of us A family that can achieve stable trade—not the Eldar royal family.”

Earl Leiden's heart beat suddenly - is there any more urgent resource than this steel now? The ore resources in the valley are both abundant and good, and they have supported the armies of Duke Yongfeng for generations!

The southern countries all know how powerful the military equipment of Grand Duke Yongfeng is - the equipment used by the entire Iron Wall Knights is even mixed with fine gold!

Moreover, during this foggy period, farming has consumed everyone's energy. This valley is probably the only area where ore can be mined intact!

If this deal can continue, its significance to the Campbell family is naturally self-evident.

This is an offer he can't refuse!

George reminded him: "There are so many people in Fallen Leaf City just waiting to die, don't you think they are too idle? Although most of the ships now are provided by Landry, it doesn't matter. We can travel in parallel by water - this The entire route has been cleared by the Black Pearl Troops, just send someone to transport them.”

He looked at Earl Leiden who was thinking about it and said: "Martin will help you handle this matter. When he is finished, he will lead the noble army to the front line."

Leiden looked at George with a complicated expression. It seemed that this half of Luoye City had to be given to him.

George smiled, sat on the chair, turned over the ancient gold coin in his hand, and placed his legs on the map. He looked meaningfully at the count in front of him.

This pair of suddenly focused eyes was so familiar to Earl Leiden. He looked at the 'brother-in-law' in front of him and thought carefully about what this guy had grabbed hold of.

But what this person said was always so surprising, and it also made his scalp explode.

"Leiden, you brought Robert here, but you ended up with a big tail. Now you want Tanya to wipe your butt, and then help her brother marry the princess. Haha, at this point, you have really inherited your father's excellent skills. Gene."

Those eyes suddenly became extremely cold, causing Earl Leiden in front of him to feel chills running down his spine and sweating on his head.

The sharpness shown by this person, as well as the chips and gifts thrown out, made him worry about gains and losses. At this moment, he was like a salesman who was about to negotiate an agreement with the most important customer. When the customer suddenly turned his back, he was completely panicked.

In this silent gaze, Earl Leiden finally couldn't bear the silence anymore, and opened his dry lips, and his voice trembled a little: "George, you have to believe me, this promise of mine will never be broken." It won’t change! I don’t mean to play with you!”

"Playing? Haha, Layton" George nodded and said slowly: "I just want to tell you - it's completely unnecessary. As I said before, who the princess marries is not Grand Duke Yongfeng or that Phillips His Majesty has the final say, but he is the leader of this war!”

"I will let you see why we, the Black Pearl Nobles, are said to be inlaid with precious stones and steel!"
