Vol 5 Chapter 140

The Cruz people referred to by Fro are naturally a group of Southern Cruz nobles headed by Count Alcons. Since arriving in Port Fattan, these southern nobles have behaved at first, probably because they knew that they had been with Brando. Tied to the same ship, the army of Jorgendegan and the Lions to the south may capture the Evergreen Walkway at any time, and at this time, does not hold the Eruin fleet, does it not seek its own way?

Coupled with the news of the civil war in Bankel, the queen split the temple and suddenly claimed to be the successor of the Dark Dragon. It also made them feel at a loss. The deep-rooted faith for thousands of years has collapsed. No one can accept it. Therefore, at the beginning, Count Alcons and others were considered enemies. They honestly restrained the lower officials who managed the Port of Fattan. On the one hand, they actively contacted the northern nobles and tried to find an alliance to resist the mad Queen.

However, as the battle turned sharply, the noblemen east of Mez couldn't resist the queen's march. They were defeated in a row, as if almost instantly, the army of the new temple had reached the door of Ludwig, although he had not yet The Black Legion has played against each other, but already has a great advantage in the situation. Coupled with Veronica being placed under house arrest, the Youth Corps has been slow to respond to the 'uprisings' of the northern nobles, so that soon in the front of Fattan, people often see the noble remnants who have retreated from the front.

Various versions of rumors also spread. First, the nobles of the cloak bay fell, and then the queen swooped down and suddenly appeared a few strange troops. Today, the Senia werewolf broke into Mote Habib, and the mountain tomorrow. The people also swore allegiance, and there are rumors that even the Azure Gun has reached the hands of Her Majesty the Queen. There are various signs that the strength of the Imperial Emperor is increasing with the naked eye. In a blink of an eye, it already occupied a third of the empire's sphere of influence.

The new temple at this time is already not to be ignored-even a suffocating behemoth.

In this way, the southern aristocrats who were not firm enough immediately began to shake, but this shaking only spread in the lower levels at first, until the sudden change of the Lion and the Army of Georgian gave them a fatal one. hit. In fact, Count Alcons and others have no real feelings about the civil war in the north. Because Brando closed the port tightly, almost all of the first-hand news they received came from rumors. Although such rumors can be heart-warming, it is difficult to say how much real feeling can be produced.

However, the fear of these nobles about the Southern Lions and the Georgian Army, especially the Army of the Georgian, was deeply rooted. They had witnessed firsthand how that army had destroyed their homes and removed them from their own. Drive out of the land, let them go into exile like refugees. Even had to send someone under the fence.

If it wasn't for the Jordanian Army that threatened the Evergreen walkway to the east at all times, why would they be stuck here?

But at this moment, the lion and the underworld lords have made clear the position of the Dark Dragon, and the situation has become a little more subtle. Who is the Dark Dragon now? She is not only the Miner emperor thousands of years ago. She is also the silver queen and the Cruz. Although the nobles care about religion, in the final analysis, they care more about the identity of their empire citizens. This is the guarantee of their status, the source of pride. Life-saving is of paramount importance, but status and power are also what they seek.

Before that, these two options were fish and bear's paw, but as the situation changed, the nobles who had fled to the south suddenly found that the answers to these two choices seemed to be gradually merged into one.

To save lives and status. How to do?

At least for now, the surrender of Her Majesty the Queen is the only possibility. Anyway, she is at least the Cruz emperor, although she said the temple was divided. But barely can be considered orthodox. So there was a subtle change in the minds of these fugitive nobles. Even the upper nobles, including Count Alcons, began to fall to the surrender. At this moment, Brando's disadvantage as an Eruin is particularly prominent. Before that, he could also claim these nobles in the name of faith. The Temple of Fire is a religion that crosses the country, Ingrained over the years, although the Eruin and Cruz people have huge differences, they have at least one thing in common.

That is, they have the same faith.

In the name of religion, people often ignore the differences of the country.

But this reason will soon be untenable, because after the threat of life disappeared, the Protestantism established by the Silver Queen did not seem to be so unacceptable. The originally difficult choice in this war quietly turned into innovation or old. It seems that people intentionally or unintentionally avoided the identity of the Dark Queen of the Silver Queen.

In fact, without Fro said, Brando also knows that the current situation is ultimately due to the lack of legitimacy of the northern nobles. After all, regardless of her status, the Silver Queen was at least her Majesty the Emperor-although she was divided The temple, but did not betray the empire, simply said that the woman intentionally placed the king's power over the patriarchal power. Although this method is a little embarrassing, it is not unacceptable to the nobles. I am afraid that except for the temples of the flames No one is willing to survive the queen on this issue, especially at the risk of his life.

The nobles of the North stand on the opposite side of Her Majesty's Queen, because they are the supporters of the eldest son of the emperor, but the exiled nobles of the South do not have this scruples, even if they are loyal to some of the temples, but now the temples are divided into two. Who is it to be loyal to?

Therefore, the beginning of this war did not stand on the stand of justice and evil, light and darkness. This is just a guise. This is a civil war. Brando has always been aware of this, although before He used this reason to fool the Count Alcons for a long time, but the imperial nobles were not stupid, and it was time to react.

It's time to give them a potion, Brando thought, and he quietly listened to Furuo's statement. In fact, what the wild elven girl wanted to say was similar to his imagination-at least not like the witch's civil strife. To his surprise, even he felt that these southern nobles were a little too slow. Perhaps they were frightened by the Jordanians or some other reason. When he wanted to come, they should have been in trouble for a long time.

But he wasn't worried, and after Fro said, he asked without hesitation: "So what are they doing now?"

The elf girl frowned slightly and couldn't help frowning. In her opinion, the current situation was caused by the negligent Lord Lord in front of her. These days, Brando has neither strictly controlled the news nor prevented the nobles who have fled from the front to enter the port-just forbidding them to leave again-and also lacks constraints on the nobles of the Cruz, even to say Inaction, in addition to maintaining the normal operation of the port, is probably sending messengers to contact the northern nobles, and the rest is to study the useless stone all day.

As soon as he thought of this, Furrow raised a heart that hated iron and steel. I feel that the Lord Lord in front of me has been idle all day since the founding of the Fir Lord. Although the other party's Eruin has accomplished a lot of work, it is only luck to her, or all anti-tina Have the ability with Miss Romain, otherwise it is still a question of whether the territory can operate normally. I thought that after becoming the Count of the Kingdom, he would also serve as the head of the ambassador, and he would converge slightly. I didn't expect it to be like this, doing nothing. It only pushes things to the hands to do it, such a lord, I am afraid she is doing well.

And he was a travelling mage, who was actually in charge of them, which was ten thousand miles away from her master in her mind. Furuo could not help but snorted heavily: "What else can they do? Fleet They are hanging above them. Can the waste be uprising? Of course it is noisy to see you Lord Lord, presumably in their opinion, only Lord Lord you better speak. "

Hearing the grievance in the girl's mouth, Brando smiled and shook his head with a bitter smile, but the weakness and incompetence of the southern nobles still surprised him. He had thought they would at least be a little bit harder, but he did not expect that Count Alcons would just 'negotiate' with him.

"Now that they're going to negotiate," Brando sneered, "then just as they wished."

He looked up: "Where are they?"

"Just out there, they named a few representatives, hoping to negotiate with you," Furuo answered with a stern face.

"Negotiate?" Brando was a little funny. "How are they going to play? What do they want to talk about?"

Fro sneered: "According to them, since the troops of the Gengan and the Lions have surrendered to the empire, the rest is the civil war of the empire. The adults are no longer suitable to continue to intervene. They suggested that the adults send the fleet. Back to Eruin-of course, you can still go to the imperial capital as an envoy. "

"Oh? What about the silver queen who claims to be the dragon of darkness?" Brando asked deliberately.

The elf girl's face suddenly became weird, and she could see that she was holding back without showing too much disdain, and replied: "They said that this thing is too ridiculous, it may be a rumor."

"Oh," Brando couldn't help but smile. "It's a rumor."

He paused and tapped on the table: "That being the case, let them come in to see me."

"Okay—" Furuo blurted out, then he froze, raised his head and stared at his Lord Lord: "Master Lord, what did you just say?"

"Isn't that clear enough? Let them come in to see me!"

"but……"

The wild elf girl wants to say, but do n’t you see nothing on weekdays? In fact, this is also the source of her previous anger. It is not the first day for the southern nobles to shake their hearts. In fact, they had hoped to negotiate with Brando more than once, but Brando had never heard of it. Regardless, they are too lazy to restrain these people. It is a laissez-faire appearance, and it is so well-known that it should not cause too much riots in the Port of Fattan.

She had thought that it should be handled the same way today, but she did not expect that the free-wheeling Lord Lord seemed to be in a whim, and she would see these people again. In fact, from the perspective of Furuo, what are the good things about these people? The best way is to catch the worst ones among them and kill the chickens and tamarins. With their timidity, they can't find anything. The storm is coming. Thinking of this, she couldn't help looking at the Lord Lord in front of her suspiciously.

Brando waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, you go and show the guest who arrived at the castle yesterday."

That guest? Fro was a little stunned before he remembered the guy. The guy looked as if he was from the northern part of Ludwig. From the appearance, he could barely see that he was a Cruz, but he had a thick Fazan. Pedigree, in short, is a mixed race. When he arrived at the castle, he claimed to be the messenger of the Black Legion, wearing a thick cloak, covering most of his face, a face that did not dare to see people, but Furuo remembered that his Lord Lord was very careful to receive Got each other.

She was not a gossip woman. After listening to Brando's instructions, she just nodded in silence, and then turned to leave, but at this time Brando stopped her again.

"Wait," Brando said, "I asked you to come in just now, not for you to deal with those nobles."

"What do you mean?" The wild elf girl turned and asked.

Brando tapped his forehead, as if thinking for a moment before answering: "Exactly, two things are done together. You have to contact Shire and let him come to me right away. Can you find him now? Tell him, I want to see Antietina, now, right away. "

Froh nodded silently.

...

Fir collar, Valhalla Fortress-

"Miss Shiduo, His Royal Highness."

Antinina watched the imperial prince and lady scholar come out of the hall, got up and saluted, the eldest son followed the young men of the Folding Knights who had been under house arrest here a few months ago. Everyone is fully armed and ready to go. These Cruz younger noble descendants seem to have calmed down after a few months of passing away, but perhaps because they are used to being in Valhalla. For the lords of a small place, these proud proud young people There is no need to condescend, but lords with a fantasy fortress like Valhalla, such as Brando, may not really be regarded as a count of Eruin.

In fact, after months of getting along, they have at least roughly understood the strength that Brando has, even if it is superficial, it is enough to be respectable. Even the most powerful real counts in the empire. I am afraid that I may not be able to keep up with such a 'little Count Eruin'. Incidentally, they also respected Brando's deputy, or aides, and Antitina.

But that's it. Even if these young people are in front of the true royal family of Eruin, I am afraid it is difficult to show such a respectful attitude. After all, it is just the royal family of a small kingdom, like Eruin. Many of the small countries on the empire border are empire-owned nations.

However, the eldest son of the emperor Lenarette himself, as he did a few months ago, seemed a little taciturn, and rarely talked to outsiders. For Antitina's salute, he nodded slightly, and he frowned slightly, as if I'm thinking about any problem anytime, anywhere, and the brilliance flashing in my eyes can't make people understand the details. He didn't say anything, but the scholar Miss Shiduo beside him had already spoken on his behalf: "Miss Antitina, what's the matter when you suddenly look for us? Is there any change in the situation of the empire?"

Antinina looked at the Cruzs silently and nodded: "There are some changes, but this is not the main purpose of today."

She paused for a moment: "General Mangrove has reached out to my Lord Lord."

"Oh?"

This sentence seemed to ignite the wildness in Linaret's heart, and saw the emperor's eldest son lift his head, his slightly deeper eyes lighted up.

It's time--
