Kant soon left the office with the others, it was already very dark, and there was a cold snap in the air, a chill that hit the wilderness of the moors to the west.

The hall of the office is still brightly lit.

The combination of luxurious furniture and clothing is not much compared to the small living room of the top aristocracy.

But no one cares.

Borg slowly propped himself up on the ground.

The housekeepers on both sides also turned pale and slowly got up.

Even the Grand Knight of Chehir, with a somewhat ugly face, glanced at each other, and then looked at the 10 guests who were still sitting on the chairs in the hall, and the words on their lips were suppressed.

At this point, there is not much to say.

Immanuel Kant, the supreme lord.

It's back.

Officially returned with his strength.

All the intrigues and tricks seem to be jokes, like a glacier encountering an underground furnace, easily dissolved by a spewing heatwave, and there is no obstacle at all.

Just the 10 great knights who are currently waiting in the hall with expressionless faces.

They were helpless.

And actually.

These great knights are not all.

Look at Baron Kant, the one who handed over command to them so easily.

If you think about it, you can understand that there may be more big knights, hidden behind the scenes, but not all of them are revealed, as a background, they will only show their due deterrence at the most critical moment.

For example, now.

"Alright."

Borg inhaled deeply.

Reaching out to wipe away the tears on his face, he turned his head to the two butlers next to him and said, "For the time being, I will get rid of the dinner party of the Governor of the Port, and if you have an excuse, you will say that I am suddenly ill." After a pause, he said in a deep voice, "Take the silver artifact from the Silver Plate Kingdom on the second floor as a gift for me." ”

"Isn't that craft your favorite, Mr. Borg..."The butler couldn't help but dissuade: "You used to love it very much, why do you want to give it away now." ”

"Just a gift."

Borg closed his eyes: "Besides, the development of the Borg Chamber of Commerce also needs the support of the Port Governor. ”

The old butler, who was in charge of managing the Borg Chamber of Commerce, was silent and silent.

He saw it.

It's an investment.

The Borg Chamber of Commerce does need the support of the Port Governor.

Otherwise, Borg would not be a new merchant who was so keen to marry the daughter of the port governor, even if he spent money to buy land in the Silver Plate Kingdom and become a court nobleman in the East County City, he would marry the girl who was not pretty.

It's just a political marriage, where both parties win each other and get what each other lacks.

Now there's an extra layer of relationship.

That's...

Captive!

Borg had already betrayed Kant once.

As a naturally intelligent man, he knew that he was completely unable to be accepted into the core of Kant's power.

That's why he will be more active and more bloody to participate in the aristocratic circle of the port governor, although he will not betray Kant again in a short time, but he will also not continue to fall into the same situation as now.

Even if he breaks away from the Borg Chamber of Commerce, there may be a way out to survive.

If there is really no way out.

Even if it's immortal.

The life of a poor person is not much different from that of dying.

Having enjoyed a life of prosperity and wealth, Borg will never return to the kind of bankrupt, helpless, and ultimately humiliating praying for guidance and venturing to the Naryn Desert in search of opportunities.

Although he did get this opportunity in the end, he became Kant's puppet.

That's right, it's a puppet.

In Borg's view, that's the case.

The real power is still firmly in Kant's hands, he is nothing more than a spokesman in front of the scenes, a puppet who waits for the final orders, a professional manager who works for the boss.

The butler saluted and left.

Soon, a few servants with unknown reasons left the office with the wrapped gifts.

The Port Governor's dinner was about to begin, and they needed to get over as soon as possible, especially since Borg was not able to be there in person, and they needed to explain the situation as soon as possible, and also showed their etiquette.

How to say that they are just a family of merchants.

It's an honor to be able to attend the banquet.

In the lobby of the office, the atmosphere is still dreary.

However, the old butler next to him, a little arrogant on his face had been lost, and he didn't know where he went, but he spoke in a deep voice, and he didn't shy away from saying, "Mr. Borg." ”

"Hmm."

Borg nodded, his voice haggard, "What's the matter." ”

"It doesn't really matter." The old butler spoke: "The merchants of the Duchy of Lion, their status is not high, in general, they are all tools to collect wealth for those top nobles, if you calculate carefully, you now have a lot of autonomy, in fact, compared with those caravan leaders, you are more like a real caravan leader." ”

"yes, that's true." Borg nodded, and did not shy away from Chehir and the 10 lion knights next to him, sitting on the chair and smiling bitterly: "But only by becoming a nobleman can you get rid of all this." ”

"Perhaps." The old butler was silent.

"I'm going to rest." But Chehir shook his head.

With a bit of ridicule on his face, he strode towards the second floor of the office, the room that belonged to him: "You take it for granted, even if you become a nobleman, what can you do, in the real aristocratic circle, it is even more cruel than you understand as a businessman." After a pause, he glanced at Borg: "My family used to be a great nobleman. ”

Borg was silent, looking at Chehir's mocking face, he also smiled mockingly, shook his head and sighed softly: "I just want to find a way back, I don't have too many ideas." ”

"Faithfully doing things for Lord Kant will receive only gifts."

A lion knight opened his mouth to remind.

"Yes." Borg just replied casually.

He knows it well.

Baron Kant is indeed in full swing now.

It can almost be counted as a lion principality, independent of the powerful forces outside the three counties.

Even at this time, many people have already assigned half of the Northern County Territory to Baron Kant in their hearts, even the one who should have become the owner of the Northern County Territory, Viscount Wayne, can only pinch his nose to identify this news.

Kant's forces have completely walked out of the Naren Desert and come to the Northern County Territory.

This has caused concern among countless people.

There are also reactions.

Looking at the combined corps of nearly 20,000 people in Fort Roger, to which Viscount Wayne belongs, you can see that those petty nobles and conspirators with ulterior motives still have a deep fear of Baron Kant.

Otherwise, a combined army of 20,000 men would not have been assembled for Viscount Wayne to control temporarily.

This is enough for the number of the main forces on the battlefield.

Although there are very few elites.

Most of them were mercenaries from outside the Resniston River.

But even so, it can launch a battle that is enough to shake a certain county, even if it attacks the southern county territory at this time, with the advantage of numbers, it is estimated that it can hit the Lion Fort in one go.

In this force, there may be a stronger existence.

For example, the Wandering Mage.

For example, the Grand Knight.

After all, it is the secret hand of those top nobles who are not willing to be lonely.

In order to play an unexpected role in attacking Baron Kant's forces, it is best to let these miscellaneous forces stitch together a combined corps to put Baron Kant into a moment of crisis.

Of course, the Combined Corps will gradually collapse due to heavy casualties.

When the time comes.

It's time for the top nobles to harvest peaches.

This is a macons, Viscount Wayne knows all this, and even everyone else understands this.

But there is no way, in order to ensure the safety of the territory, he must swallow this bitter fruit alive, otherwise Viscount Wayne himself will not be able to compete with Kant at all, if he surrenders and loses his status as a top nobleman, then his family will decline.

If you still rely on the strength of the Duchy of Lion and barely reach a draw, you may still be saved.

That's what Borg thinks, too.

He had an expectation.

Or rather, their own speculation.

I don't think Baron Kant can win the final victory.

No matter how much extraordinary power there is, how can there be more than the Lion Principality.

This is a powerful country that was founded hundreds of years ago, and the belief in the god of war Aemond has made this country's strength not low, and even the Silver Plate Kingdom can resist, and even a head-on confrontation that does not fall behind.

Just one force, Baron Kant's power, can't catch up with the Silver Plate Kingdom.

If Kant is defeated.

Borg will need a new way to save himself.

"It's sad."

He stood up.

He also walked towards the top of the building, but casually instructed the old butler: "I will be in charge of you here, let our friends have a good rest, and provide the same standard as Chehir." ”

"Yes." The old butler bent down, and as a butler, he just had to obey.

The 10 remaining lion knights didn't care.

They all have their own minds.

But there are also tasks.

Since you are talking about staying here to keep you safe, you have to take responsibility.

It's just that judging from the current situation, they themselves understand in their hearts that protection is secondary, and the most important thing is deterrence, so as to take care of this place for Lord Kant, so as not to cause too much chaos.

If Borg wanted to sell the Chamber of Commerce and leave secretly, they would certainly not sit idly by.

The Lion Knight of Saarion from the continent of Pande.

It is an aristocratic elite in itself.

He also has an understanding of politics and business.

Although it looks cold, it is simply impersonal.

But in fact, if the Borg really wanted to show some signs of instability, they could solve it directly without Kant's orders, and they would definitely not deal with it too badly.

They were much better than the Sarander riders, the level 4 cavalry.

The night is getting darker.

It's just that many people don't have the meaning of sleep.

Not far away, the governor's mansion was brightly lit, and countless nobles gathered inside to hold a grand banquet.

But when the butler went in and explained the situation, and another spy came in to tell some news, the whole banquet ended quickly, and almost unhappily dispersed, and everyone left, more like fleeing.

The entire Governor's Mansion soon fell silent.

It was a night that was destined to be unpeaceful.

However, there are still many people who are secretly linked, and they have different views on the future situation.
