In the Void City, a small rumor suddenly began to circulate.

Panda Lord, about to rejoin the territory of the kingdom of Dabiang, and as the lord of Panda Lord, Sean. Connery, too, will be driven away from Panda and returned to the hands of the female demon of Tonys.

This gossip was just a night's work, and no one in the entire Void City knew about it anymore. And in the middle of the night, the news from the south gate even made this gossip completely solid: the defenders of the south gate welcomed a convoy before the gate was about to close, and then clashed with the people of the convoy, and even fought a lot, if Miss Cecilia had not arrived in time to stop these people with magic, I am afraid it would have become out of control.

But then, instead of driving them away, Miss Cecilia welcomed them all to the embassy, as if because they had some evidence in their hands that was enough to prove that Sean. Connally had illegally occupied Panda Territory, so now he was asked to return it.

Although this rumor is a bit exaggerated, in fact, it largely restores the original appearance of the whole thing.

This alone is enough to prove that this so-called gossip could never have been circulated at random, but was spread by people from the Kingdom of Dabiang, or even the people of the Hasteen family. Otherwise, the accuracy of this information cannot be so high, and even words such as "evidence" and "illegal occupation" are spoken.

For a moment, the entire Void City actually fell into a somewhat sad silence.

Many of the people couldn't help but remember that Panda was abandoned by the kingdom of Dabiang. Later, I finally had Sean. Connery, such a lord, appeared, and with his continuous efforts over the years, the development of the Panda Leader was finally on track, and even the Void City was established, and the people who were originally hungry and even bullied by those mercenary groups finally began to live a good life. But suddenly there was such bad news, and many people felt incredulous.

Or rather, they don't want to believe it.

However, when many of the people in the embassy saw the people in the embassy entering the lord's mansion in a big way, many people's eyes suddenly turned red.

"Your Excellency Domingo, I can't figure it out." Sean stood by the window, he looked at the many lords who spontaneously gathered outside the lord's mansion, and this phenomenon has not improved in the slightest, but more and more people began to gather, his face looked very gloomy. "Why would a big man like you spread such rumors?"

"Rumors?" Domingo laughed, "What rumors?" ”

"Rumors about my illegal occupation of Panda Territory." Sean left the window and sat down in a chair at the conference table.

This is a formal conference room.

There is only one long table in the room that seats 12 people – five people on each side of the table, and a seat at each end of the table. At this moment, Sean, Neil, William, and Cecilia sat side by side by the window of the long table, indicating that they were the masters of the place; And on the other side is Domingo. Hasting, Sain. Holm, Taylor, deputy commander of the 2nd Cavalry Regiment, and others; As for the executive officer from the Peace Society, Christina. sit at the top of the long table.

The appearance of executive Christina, for Domingo. It's really a shock.

Because of dealing with the Peace Society. It's not the first time for Domingo, otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to the Peace Association to intervene in the ownership of the Panda Territory this time, but in terms of military warfare, no one on the side of the northern nobles of the Dabiang Kingdom is willing to give support, so Domingo has no choice. And generally in matters such as this ruling. The arbitrators of the Peace Society are in charge, and there has never been a precedent for the executive officers to be responsible.

At least, Domingo had never heard of it.

Therefore, Christina's appearance really surprised Domingo. But this surprise was well concealed by him. Anyway, he has the territory contract document of the Panda Territory in his hand, as long as this document is in his hands, then no matter what arbitrator or executive officer the Peace Association sends, the result will not change.

As for the rumor that caused the entire Void City to stir, it was indeed arranged by Domingo, but it was not Domingo's idea, but Gerson. What the mercenaries sent by Nugus to help. Of course, Domingo was still nominally an earl and the leader of their mercenaries, so when carrying out this rumor-mongering operation, the commander of the Heroic Sword, Evan, of course, also greeted him.

It's just that even Domingo didn't expect that those mercenaries would do such dirty work with such an outstanding effect.

However, in one night, the inhabitants of the entire Void City knew the Dao.

Domingo has not forgotten another mission he has on this trip: the assassination of Sean. As long as the negotiation is over for a while, all the people will see that Sean is about to be driven out of the territory, and they will definitely be excited, as long as they are tempted a little more at this time, it will inevitably cause chaos such as riots, and taking advantage of this chaos to assassinate Sean is naturally a matter of ignorance, and it can even be used as a cover to purge the entire Void City.

It's killing three birds with one stone.

Although all the plans for the follow-up have been arranged, at this time, Sean was questioned in a tone that was almost interrogating the prisoner. Of course, Hasting's face couldn't be seen better: "I don't know about this kind of rumor at all, how do I know that this is not an excuse for you to deliberately spread and push it on me after it goes?" …… Besides, is this a rumor? Can you still show proof that Panda is your domain? ”

"Of course we can prove it." It was Neil who answered, and the elf was also indignant at this moment, "This territory was ceded to the Marquis of Tonis as a reparation territory after the defeat of Dabion, and then you evacuated all the nobles and troops in this territory. Especially since more than three years ago, the entire territory was completely ruled by darkness, and if it had not been for our lord to take over the control of this territory from the Marquis of Tonys, this territory would still be a barren wasteland today. …… Right now! You have seen this territory develop again, and you shamelessly want to regain this territory by conspiracy, you are really despicable. ”

"Be careful with your wording." Domingo snorted, but he didn't bother to argue with Neil. Instead, he turned his head to look at Christina, "Honorable Executive Officer of the Peace Society, the other party's behavior is completely an insult to me as an earl, and I ask you to judge it strictly." ”

Although Christina is an executive, she still understands some of the actions of the arbitration award, so she nodded, looked at Neil, and said, "Be careful with your words, if you continue to attack Domingo in such an insulting tone. Earl Hasting's words, then I can only ask you out of the room. ”

Hear Christina's official warning. Neil glared at Domingo angrily, but said no more.

Instead, Domingo had a satisfied smile on his face, "Now, I'll answer your question." …… You say that this is the indemnity of the Kingdom of Dabion, but in fact, after the end of the war, the arbitrator of the Peace Association was also present during the territorial negotiations. At that time, only the entire Anglodar Mountains were ceded, and there was no record of the Panda Territory. As for what will later be led by Panda, he will withdraw the army and all the nobles. That is the internal decision of our kingdom of Dabion. There is no need to speak to you outsiders who are not even nobles. ”

"But this territory is indeed what I took from my lord, Marquis Tonis, Lord Asuna." Sean spoke, "As a pioneer knight, I know the importance and inevitability of territorial exploration. This territory is the base that Asuna-sama first gave me. There's no way I'm lying on that. ”

Of course, Domingo had already anticipated Sean's rebuttal, so he quickly organized language to start a new rebuttal.

Neil and William glanced at each other, neither of them too worried.

In fact. This kind of bargaining is the most common thing in a negotiation that will drag on indefinitely as long as both parties are unable to submit valid evidence to prove the ownership of the territory. Of course, this delay cannot be delayed for too long, after all, the ownership of a territory still has to be determined in the end, but generally in the case that both parties cannot prove the ownership of the territory, the arbitration method of the Peace Association is usually that both parties manage the territory for half a year, and finally the Peace Association conducts a public opinion survey to finally assess who the territory really belongs to.

It's just that today's situation obviously doesn't need to be so complicated.

As long as Sean takes out the territory contract document, then he can immediately obtain the ownership of the territory. It's just that some things still have to be dealt with according to some existing rules after all, such as the current two sides fighting each other, anyway, whether it is from the development of the territory or the polls, Sean obviously has the upper hand - those residents who are waiting for the outcome of the situation around the lord's mansion are the best embodiment of the people's will.

At the end of the day, Sean is just building momentum.

You must know that the entire Void City is under the control of Sean and others, and when Domingo spread rumors last night, Ruby learned about the first incident. It's just that under the arrangement of William and Neil, Ruby not only stopped this rumor, but even asked the intelligence officers of the Void Realm to help spread it, so the incident in just one night became known to everyone in the entire Void City.

The will of the people is often more reflective of the support of a lord.

If it weren't for the fact that time was too short, William and Neil would even want to spread the word to Momiji Town.

“…… You have no proof that this territory is yours! "After some comparable evidence, Domingo. Hasteen also seemed to find that Sean's eloquence was not inferior to his own, and he even vaguely heard the voices of the residents outside the lord's mansion shouting in support of Sean, which made him really a little unable to sit still, "The territory contract document of Panda Territory has always been in my hand, how can this prove that this territory is yours?" ”

As he said this, Domingo finally pulled out a codex and slammed it on the conference table.

And when this codex appeared, the faces of Sean, Neil, William, Cecilia and others were all frozen, with a look of disbelief. And when they saw this scene, Domingo and Taylor finally showed smug smiles, it was obvious that the other party had never expected this territorial contract document to be in their hands, after all, when this decisive evidence appeared, it was already doomed.

Only Sain. Home, this Domingo. Hasting's bastard son instead showed a solemn look, and his gaze fell on Sean's face from beginning to end.

"It can't be!" Sean let out an exclamation.

"Nothing is impossible!" Domingo snorted coldly, his face full of pride.

Christina, on the other hand, had already opened the Codex, which indeed recorded everything related to the Panda Domain, and also proved that this territory was indeed the private domain of the Hasteen family.

"This territorial contract document of yours must be fake!" Sean stood up with an excited face.

"Fake?" Taylor let out a sneer, "What proof do you have that this document is fake?" …… Is it finally starting to jump off the wall? ”

In the face of Taylor's taunt, Sean didn't pay any attention to it, but took out a codex directly from his body, and then put it on the conference table: "This is the territory contract document that Lord Asuna gave me when I took over this territory from Lord Asuna, and I always carry it with me." …… How could it have fallen into your hands? You must have forged this! ”

"Forgery?" The smug look on Domingo's face was even stronger, "You can say this kind of thing?" In front of the professionals of the Peace Society, who is the one who is the falsifier will have a result. I'll see what else you have to say. (To be continued......)
