Lord of War

   Sean’s declaration of war was immediately passed to the Boulder family’s main sect.

   "Huh!" An indifferent hum sounded in the room.

  This is a small room, only a dozen square meters. It can barely sit for five to six people at most, but there are seven chairs in the dimly lit room, which means that only seven people can enter the room. At this moment, there are only five people in this room. The two chairs in the third seat on the left and the first seat on the right are all vacant. It seems that any chair in this room is sorted.

  "What do you think about this matter?" a middle-aged man sitting on a chair in the center asked.

  Although he is dressed in a simple dress, he has a murderous arrogance on his body, and he is obviously the same type of person who rolled out in the sea of ​​blood on the corpse mountain. He was obviously not strong, probably at the level of the pinnacle of silver in the lower rank. He was obviously only a middle-aged person, but he was already full of silver frost, and he had no hope of stepping into the upper rank silver in this life. But if he can sit on the first chair in the center, he must be the leader of the people in this room.

  This room is the famous seven-person hall of the Boulder family.

  It is said that it was left by the first patriarch who founded the Boulder family. Except that the first in the center must be the current patriarch of the Boulder family to be able to sit, the six chairs arranged at the left and right ends have no bloodline requirements, on the contrary, they have strength requirements-the left is the territory strength requirements, the right is It is the personal strength requirement. To enter the left seat, you must at least be at least the strength of the marquis of Darbion Kingdom, and the top left seat even possesses the strength not inferior to the head of the clan.

If Sean can see the people in this room, then he can clearly determine that the two on the left and the chief old Duke Hatch will join the four Marquis of the Boulder family in the Duchy of Lane in the future. Of the three.

  The right seat, which represents personal strength, is different from the left seat. Like the chief right, you must reach the upper sanctuary before you can sit; the minimum requirement for the second seat on the right is the lower sanctuary, and the minimum requirement for the lower right seat is gold. Now that the right chief is absent, there is only one explanation-that is, the Boulder family does not have a strong person who can sit in this seat. Although the right end seat said that the minimum requirement is lower-level gold, the middle-aged man sitting in this seat at the moment is a real upper-level gold powerhouse.

  Facing the question of the old Duke Hatch, the other four people in the seven-person hall all had silent and contemplative faces.

  The two powerhouses sitting on the right seat naturally have the right not to say anything about this topic, because they don’t understand it. But if the two sitting on the left seat wanted to remain silent forever, it is estimated that the old Duke Hatch would really be angry. So after only a moment of silence, the middle-aged man who was the chief left finally broke the seven. The silence in the hall.

"This incident was caused by the boy Roddy. We are not obligated to help him clean up the mess." Although this sentence broke the silence of the Hall of Seven, it was also invisibly like lighting a barrel of gunpowder. In the narrow and dark room, the atmosphere seemed more stagnant and low. "And, how can you be sure that this is not the excuse that the marquise wants to start war again? I think I will just hand in Elsie."

"Heh." The old prince sneered. "I don't know who has been arguing a few months ago that Elsie broke the rules and must capture him back and deprive him of his noble title. Isn't it this time Roddy? Didn’t give you money, so you didn’t speak for him? Or did the last war with Asuna scared you?"

"Do you want to advocate war?" The middle-aged man who was ridiculed did not get angry, but still looked plain, "If you are asking my opinion, then my opinion has been given, and I will hand it over to Elsie. If you want to start a war against that pioneer knight, then I will definitely not participate. Unless you order me to send troops in the name of the patriarch."

"Hehe, your calculation is pretty good." Old Duke Hatch said with a smile, "but don't forget, the Boulder family will only have one duke. Even if I am stained by the Boulder family because of this. , You are still just a marquis.... Or, let's try each with a force of five thousand people?"

  Hearing this, the middle-aged man who spoke first stopped speaking.

As a marquis of strength, although the comprehensive strength of the territory is indeed not much different from the military strength of the Duke of Hatch, in the last war to defend the Kingdom of Darbion, his most elite 20,000 troops were almost completely wiped out. A heavy price, although it has been reorganized now, the degree of training is still not as good. Therefore, if five thousand people are brought out to fight with Duke Hatch at this time, it will be nothing to go, and of course he will not be so stupid. .

"Huh." It seems that seeing the middle-aged shut up and did not speak, the old Duke Hatch's anger has also disappeared a little, so his tone has slowed down a little, "The boy Elsie really can't live up to it, so you and Rodina Click on the private transaction. I didn’t pay attention to it at the beginning, and now naturally I won’t settle accounts. But you had better not think of me as a fool. Don’t forget that in the candidate list of family heirs, you were the sixth and I was the first, but you How can you have today, I think you should know."

  "Please forgive my recklessness, my brother." The middle-aged man lowered his head slightly to show his mistake.

"Now, let's get back to this matter." Old Duke Hatch said with a majestic look. "The pioneering knight under the marquise is like a mad dog. I just finished biting and including Viscount Dodge. The five nobles inside want to trouble us now. Does he really think that his army is invincible? With such a small number of people, he dare to say that he wants to flatten the Mordge collar. What a big tone."

   "So, we are now sending troops to reinforce the Mordege collar?"

"Mordge's terrain is not conducive to cavalry formation. I guess the other party will definitely use that lion group." Old Duke Hatch frowned, "But in this way, their territory will not have any defensive power. Although Viscount Doki was maimed on his side, Baron Ronnis seems to be able to send troops."

"Baron Ronnies has only three hundred heavy cavalry. He will certainly not be willing to send troops." Another Boulder family lord sitting in the second seat on the left finally said, "His territory is closest to Pandaren. Once he can't quickly If you win the Panda collar, the pioneering knight will swallow the three hundred heavy knights, and the trouble will be even greater.... And according to the information collected so far, the strength of the pioneering knight is almost not inferior. For any lower silver, if he and the female knight who currently does not know his identity and the Alfred person join forces, it is enough to kill any upper silver."

"Then this lord is in charge of me." The gold-ranked powerhouse sitting in the last seat on the right said, "If this is the case, I will perform the decapitation tactics. No one can stop me. Unless it's Tony. Only when the Marquisess and the three magicians of her command gather together, it is possible to block my forcible killing."

   "If you do it, we must take into account the anger of the marquise."

"This war was provoked by the pioneering knight. What anger do we need to bear?" Old Duke Hatch snorted coldly. "According to the rules of the nobility, since the other party has provoked the war, then we have no reason to back down, and if If this pioneering knight is dead, will the war continue to be fought?" At this point, the old Duke Hatch turned his head, looked at the middle-aged golden man, and said in a deep voice: "Solved this Sean After that, you can see if the two lower silvers under his command can solicit them. If you can, bring them back. If you can’t, kill them together. You must not leave them to the Marquis of Tonis."

   "Yes." The middle-aged man nodded.

   "Okay, then the discussion is over..."

   Just as the old Duke Hatch was about to end the topic, the younger brother of the old Duke Hatch sitting on the left side suddenly said: "If the Marquis of Tonys sends troops for reinforcements, what shall we do?"

  For an instant, the entire Hall of Seven fell into a kind of silence.

  After a while, the sanctuary powerhouse sitting in the second seat on the right, broke the silence, and asked tentatively: "I'm coming?"

   "No!" The three of the two lords from the old Duke Hatch and Zuo Xi said in unison.

"If you take the decapitation tactic, then it will be a real nationwide war." Old Duke Hatch shook his head. "In the last war, Darbion has suffered a lot of vitality so far, and he needs at least to recover. Three to four years. The Principality of Lane, as the victor, did not lose much, and could support another nationwide war at any time.... If it is between our Boulder family and the pioneering knight If the contradiction of the conflict evolves into a national war, then our Boulder family will lose the right to choose in this war. This is not in line with our Boulder family’s consistent policy.”

  Speaking of this, the hall of seven fell into silence again, and for a while, no one was interested in continuing to speak...

   "Where is Elsie now?" After a long silence, the old Duke Hatch finally spoke again.

   "According to your instructions, we are currently restricted from the Howards mansion."

"Bring him back." The old Duke Hatch's face changed several times, and finally he sighed helplessly, "We are preparing for the second plan. If the marquise really sends troops to intervene in this matter, we will re-examine it. The identity of the pioneer knight.... But how long will it take before Howard can get the Maudger collar?"

  "About two and a half months."

"Immediately send a messenger to carry a secret letter, go to the Mordg collar as quickly as possible, and at the same time order others to keep an eye on the situation in Tonys Fortress. If the marquise shows signs of sending troops, immediately ask the messenger to send this secret letter. Send it to the marquise, and then we immediately hand over Elsie." The old Duke Hatch looked a little gloomy, obviously very upset, "If the marquise has nothing to do, then let Baron Ronnies, along with several other viscounts and barons, sent troops to Pandaren. You Qi, you are responsible for the beheading tactics."

"Yes!"

   "Hmph, dare to threaten to flatten the Maudge collar, but I want to see if this pioneering knight is really that capable!"
