It's normal for Colliver to be under pressure, and while the Spads are very strong, everything seen inside Ellington shows that Ellington is not as backward as the rumors say, they have very strong strength.

Hidden behind these fast-growing towns is a terrifying force with unlimited potential.

Thinking of the Tang Chamber of Commerce's amazing ability to accumulate money, as well as Tang En's strong declaration of independence before, Colliver, who was sitting in the chair, swallowed his saliva, this time, maybe things really won't go as smoothly as imagined.

"You're the emissary of House Sparder?"

Suddenly hearing a voice behind him, Coliver perked up: The Lord is here!

"Lord Donn, salute you."

Colliver stood up and turned to salute.

"Now I'm the king of Ellington, not the lord, and Ellington is independent."

One sentence choked Coliver's speechlessness.

Although everyone knows that Ellington is independent, it is too arrogant to claim the king as directly as you, right?

Don took Fiona and Aurelia to sit down across from him, and then went straight in: "I don't have time to waste, if you have any intentions, just say it." ”

After pondering his lines for a while, Coliver pondered and said, "That's right, the patriarch of our Spard family, Duke Mandel, wants to enter into a partnership with Ellington—"

"Cooperation? How to cooperate? ”

Donn interrupted him and looked at him with a smirk, "Are you Spards planning to side with us and become our Ellington counterpart in Alinkes?" Wait for us to get into Alinks and shout, and then you stand up and respond? ”

Break into Alinkes?

Coliver took a breath of cold air, this man's ambition was even greater than he imagined!

"Not really, we-"

"Tell me directly," Donn leaned forward suddenly, and the oppressive momentum made Coliver breathless, "What the hell do you Spard family want to stand over there now, supporting Girard?" Or support me...... Or Princess Aurelia? ”

Don directly pushed Princess Aurelia out as an excuse for his independence, and Aurelia next to him pouted secretly.

The dominance of the topic is gradually being controlled by Donn, but Coliver is the elite of the Sparder family after all, and after a moment of confusion, he stabilized his position, avoided Donn's question, and said: "We, the Sparder family, are willing to secretly support Ellington and provide you with ores, metals, food, and even very important magical metals that are prohibited by the Empire, and it is guaranteed to be the market price. ”

"Oh? Interesting, let's talk about the specific cooperation method. ”

Don leaned back in his chair, and sure enough, as Princess Aurelia had guessed, the Spards looked like they wanted to make a fortune from the war.

The conversation seemed to be moving in a favourable direction, and Colliver perked up: "Well, we have our own channels to circumvent the border blockade and transport supplies to Ellington, and you provide us with the list we need, and we will send someone to transport them when we are ready, and of course, the cost of transportation will be shared by both parties." ”

"Now that Ellington is independent, he will face His Majesty Girard in the future...... War is inevitable in the time of the Prince, and at this time, we in the Sparder family can become Ellington's staunch allies, secretly providing you with a lot of support to help you defeat Girard. ”

"In the same way, since we have helped, we also need to be rewarded, and what we need is that if Lord Donn can really defeat Girard and succeed in reaching the top, we Spard need to get a fief ......"

Don interrupted him with a wave of his hand, looking at him with a smirk, "You believe I can hit Alinkes?" ”

"You're kidding, since you dare to be independent, it proves that you must have that confidence......"

Aurelia asked coldly, "That's what you promised Girard, right?" ”

"Of course not!"

Colivo replied categorically: "Patriarch Mandel has never entered the castle since the coronation ceremony, and he found that His Royal Highness the Prince's personality has changed greatly since his coronation, and at this time, His Excellency Tang En published the truth in the Datang Daily questioning the death of the first king, and Patriarch Mandel also suspected whether there was any conspiracy in it, so he made this choice." ”

"Helping Ellington against Girard while waiting for us to unearth the truth, and remaining neutral until then, is your strategy? It's quite in line with the style of the Spad family's wall grass. ”

Aurelia smiled faintly and said: "Say what you really want, the unrealistic promise of a fief is impossible, even if it is Duke Mandel, it is impossible to gamble so much in this war, I don't believe that just because of a suspicion, he dares to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country, and now if Girard knows, the Sparder family will be slaughtered in a blink of an eye." ”

Colivo smiled bitterly in his heart, it was really not that simple, and after sighing, he said: "Actually, Patriarch Mandel does have another request. ”

Don and Aurelia looked at each other, "Say." ”

"The Spades can form a strategic alliance with Ellington, but there are a few prerequisites first......"

Colliver looked at Princess Aurelia, who instinctively sensed something and frowned.

"Princess Aurelia, you should know very well what our Prince of Makaro wants about you, even now, he has not changed, and is willing to provide you with shelter and support, as long as you are willing to accept the courtship of Prince Makarlo, Patriarch Mandel promises that our Sparder family will be willing to fully support Ellington's rise, and at the same time be willing to do everything to provide financial support."

"That's what you're for?"

Aurelia sneered: "By marrying me, you can get a legitimate reason to help Ellington rebel, and at the same time, you also look forward to using my relationship with Girard to let him open the net and save the vitality of the Spad family by virtue of my relationship with Girard?" If you succeed, you will have a lot of merit, and you will even have a chance to be king, and if you fail, you can protect yourself, and Duke Mandel really thought of a plan to get the best of both worlds. ”

"But first, I have already renounced the inheritance, and it is still engraved on the Bright Monument, and the oath can never be broken, so it is impossible to use me to obtain the inheritance."

"Second, Girard is no longer the Gillard he used to be, he can't show mercy because of me, I can tell you clearly, my father was killed by him, this time the Sparder family secretly sent an envoy to Ellington, maybe he has seen it, you better pray now that the Sparder family has not had an accident."

Suddenly hearing that Victor was killed by Girard, Coliver's breathing stopped for a moment, and then the thought of "impossible" flashed through his mind.

Not to mention that Victor had a Keqing mage by his side to provide protection, how could he die so easily with the legendary protective magic equipment on his body?

What's more, Victor's support for Girard is something that is clear to the entire Alinks hierarchy, why did he kill his father?

Just to be crowned king? But if he waits, the throne will be his!

"And the third," Aurelia's face became even colder, "I have no intention of marrying Count Macarlo, or rather, Count Macarlo has given up on harassing me since I gave up my inheritance, which makes me very happy, and proves that I was not wrong. ”

Colliver was speechless: "But-"

"Don't," Donn said suddenly, "I noticed you just said the word 'support,' which means that the Spades want to support us to become a puppet regime?" ”

Colliver opened his mouth to meet Donn's straight gaze, but he couldn't deny half a word.

Because that's what the Mandel patriarch meant.

"If that's the case, I'm sorry, I don't have the idea of being someone else's puppet."

Don said lightly: "Of course, if the Sparder family is interested in cooperating with us, we welcome you to transfer your wealth to Ellington and move all of them here." ”

After the Sparder family arrived in Ellington, Don didn't do whatever he wanted? When the time comes, Fiona will be able to complete her revenge easily.

How is this possible!

Coliver shook his head secretly, asking the Mandel patriarch to give up everything and bet on Ellington's success?

No way.

As the largest and wealthiest family in the empire, the Spads have reached the top, and they will continue to develop until they sit in that position, or obtain a fief and become the overlord.

It's a pity that Victor no longer divides the territory in order to strengthen his rule, so when Don gets Ellington, it will attract so many people's attention.

The cost and risk of wanting to be independent is too great for Mandel to gamble.

But now, Ellington's independence has given him an opportunity to prop up a puppet regime and let it stand firm, and the Spards can sit back and watch the tiger fight, and if Ellington wins, the Spards will make a big profit, and if Ellington loses, they will only lose some gold coins, and they will not hurt the bones.

Whether Don accepts the intention of cooperating or reaches a marriage relationship with Aurelia, the plan can be carried out smoothly.

But the best of both worlds, the best of both worlds, has now been completely aborted.

Don didn't want to see them alone, let alone become puppets, and if he wanted to cooperate, he had to tie himself to Ellington's chariot, and he didn't think about anything else.

Princess Aurelia decisively rejected the courtship of the prince of Macarlo, and her plan to marry the princess and win the gold medal for avoiding death also failed.

He had come here on a mission that had completely failed, except for a great deal of information about Ellington.

"Lord Colliver, please come back."

Tang En stood up and said lightly, "I hope that on the day we really enter Alink, we won't meet each other." ”

"Lord Donn—"

Colliver wanted to make one last effort.

"Please leave now, or I don't guarantee you will leave Ellington alive!"

Fiona gave the order to evict the guest mercilessly, her hateful eyes staring at Clifford like daggers.

Walking out of the gates of the Lord's Palace, Colliver was still very unwilling, and he couldn't understand why that Fiona hated him so much.

"Get out of the way."

At this time, several people rushed past him quickly and rushed directly into the lord's mansion: Oh, why are you slow, time is pressing! ”

"It's you who are too impatient!"

Coliver's feet paused, and when he looked back, he saw only three figures.

So familiar with the voice and back?

Who's here?

"Hurry up, don't pestle here."

The guards at the gate brought Coliver's guards back and impatiently banished Coliver, Coliver snorted, straightened his clothes, and left the Lord's Mansion with the guards. (To be continued.) )
