"You're at Rainbow Springs Manor. It's safe. ”

"So...... Are we victorious? ”

"Yes, those demons have either gone back to their hometown, or they have turned into a pile of rancid black earth."

Sheona looked at the bedroom with her eyes. Her memory was still in the dark night, the fires, and the aristocratic private soldiers who surrounded her. Now, it's a soft velvet blanket, a gorgeous gauze bed, and my brother's smile that is so warm that it seems to melt ice and snow...... She tries to reconnect the severed memories with reality. And this, it takes time.

After a conversation and a brief explanation of what happened after the coma, Gordon handed over his sister to Faria and Shella. Xie Ona had just woken up and was weak, so it was more appropriate to leave it to her two good friends to take care of. He had more important things to do.

"Let's go, let's give the little girls some personal space." Rob. Antelo spoke to Cardinal Rudor and Master Fritz Druid. In a sense, these two people are Xie Ona's attending doctors, so they naturally have to be present today.

"Go to the study." The Grand Duke added.

Gordon is not an old fellow. However, he heard a different message from the other party's words. Only when the most important matters are discussed, will the Grand Duke use the study.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Council of Nobles is about to begin. We will face a war without gunpowder. I must win, for only in this way can the forces of the Far Frost Province be fully integrated to deal with the threat of the Three Holy Baptists and the Orcs. ”

Rob. Antelo gets straight to the point. The former legendary mage has always had a straightforward style that suits Gordon's appetite.

The assembly of nobles, which the Grand Duke of Wand, Gordon and others have been busy preparing for some time recently, is a special meeting system in the Ferreton Empire. It's a bit like the federal parliamentary hearings in Gordon's world, and it's a bit like the citizens' assemblies in ancient Greece.

Of course, the Assemblies of Nobles have nothing to do with words like a democratic republic. This was only the result of a distribution of power and a compromise between the royal family of Ferreton and the local nobility. It is a channel for the local aristocracy to participate in important national political events.

In the year 937 of the Fourth Age, two noble assemblies were held in various parts of Ferredon: the plague of Hall; An underground raid on the province of Silver Mountain. If you add the demon incident in the Far Frost Province, it will be the third time.

In the past, the Platinum Empire was not necessarily able to produce an event once a year that was sufficient to convene a noble assembly.

It seems that the entire empire, and indeed the whole world, is slowly sliding into the abyss of turmoil......

This time, the nobles of the Far Frost Province. All nobles in the province who have officially received the hereditary title of baron or above are required to participate. In addition, there is an envoy representing the Emperor, as well as senior priests representing the three major churches of Ferreton, namely the Platinum Temple, the Temple of Dawn, and the Temple of the Law.

Cardinal Roudot was the representative of the Temple of the Dawn to this noble assembly. Master Fritz Druid, on the other hand, was a member of the special legation.

When it comes to connections, Rob. Although Antello could not fully control all the local nobles in the Far Frost Province, he had a strong backing from the imperial capital. So no matter how you look at it. Earl Thompson could not have won in this political wrestling. Of course, the old earl had no way back and had to fight. Because with the evidence in the possession of Gordon and others, and the accusations fabricated against them, they will uproot the other party and their families.

In order to survive, Earl Thompson must fight to the death.

For my sister, for the sake of the family. Gordon must also give it his all.

However, although the Grand Duke's side seems to have the upper hand now, if an outside force is on the side of Earl Thompson, things become complicated.

"I just received a tip-off that this morning, in Earl Thompson's Mountain Creek Spring Manor, there were spatial energy fluctuations."

"Teleportation spells?"

"Yes." The Scepter Lord nodded, "Based on the analysis of the remnants of energy. The distance of this teleportation spell is about five hundred miles. It seems that Count Thompson has found an ally from afar. ”

"Five Hundred Miles...... "Five Hundred Miles" Gordon's mind came up with a map of the entire territory of the Ferreton Empire. Take the blue water city as the center of the circle and draw a circle with a radius of 500 miles. Within this range, the north is a wide barren tundra, and to the east is a series of mountains. West vs. South......

"Well, I thought of a possibility. House of Baratheon. Gordon said.

"Makes sense. There were no big nobles in the western part of the kingdom who had enough influence to meddle in the affairs of the Far Frost Province. Only the Grand Duke of Baozhuan in the south has ambition and strength. And, as a member of the Baratheon family. The dead Burdisso is indeed heavily involved in the demonic attack. They have plenty of reasons to interfere. ”

Master Fritz Druid furrowed his eyebrows like curly branches, worried: "If the Grand Duke of Diamond fully supports Earl Thompson, I am afraid that there will be a large-scale defection of the nobles who support us. ”

In terms of influence on the secular aristocracy, the Grand Duke of Scepter was much inferior to the Grand Duke of the Diamond.

"I'm guessing it's just the Baratheon family. Someone's arbitrariness. Although the Grand Duke of Diamond of this generation is far inferior to his ancestors, he is not a fool either. Ferreton has not been peaceful in recent years. Not only the orcs in the north, the madmen in Northumbard in the east, but also the lizardmen on the southern coast are all ready to move. The Baratheons' main focus is still on exterminating the lizardmen. Because those snakeskin monsters threaten the foundation of the Baratheon family's livelihood - the sea trade route with Nanda 6. As long as it is not an imbecile born of mating with a troll, he will not give up the fundamental interests of the family, but he comes to the north to mess around. ”

"Still, we can't take it lightly." Cardinal Rudo, who is cautious by nature, said.

"That's right. I will strengthen the surveillance of the nobles of Earl Thompson's line, and try to win the support of as many nobles as possible. ”

Although Archduke Rob has the absolute power in the military and political affairs of Yuanshan Province, he cannot cover the sky with one hand in the noble assembly. It was also a means for the royal family to restrain the local nobility.

Of the three major churches, Cardinal Rudot's Temple of the Dawn will undoubtedly be on his side. The Platinum Church is the state religion of Ferreton and has generally been impartial in its position, based on the preservation of imperial rule. As for the followers of Eracis, there is no need to worry about the maintenance of law and order, which has always been the supreme commandment.

The most important figure in the Emperor's envoys, who was also the presiding officer of this noble assembly and the person with the highest ruling power, was Satyas. Prince Anduin, now Emperor of Ferredon, His Majesty Trajan. Anduin's own brother.

The prince had no great talents, and he had no special talents in combat or magic. However, he was loyal to the royal family of Ferreton, and his reputation for justice and benevolence was deeply loved by the majority of nobles and commoners.

With such a figure, His Majesty the Emperor will naturally use it with confidence and entrust him with important tasks.

Fritz the Grand Druid, as a member of the special legation, also had some contact with the royal family: "Prince Satyas's character is almost impeccable. By any means, it is almost impossible for us to win him over. Of course, this is a good thing, because it means that the Earl of Thompson will not be able to co-opt him either. The prince will preside over the assembly of the nobles in an impartial manner, and this is our greatest advantage. ”

In fact, in order to win this war based on the exchange of power and the combination of interests, Gordon's side did not need to play too many tricks and intrigues. Because the facts, or to put it mildly, justice, are on their side. It only needs to guard against the conspiracy of Earl Thompson's side and turn the facts upside down to achieve the final victory.

Rob. What Antello needs to consider is how to maximize the fruits of victory through this noble assembly, so as to completely consolidate his rule in the Northlands.

And what Gordon needs to consider is how to completely crush the family of Earl Thompson. He wants to avenge his sister. He couldn't let Bivis die a meaningless death.

After more than an hour had passed in the study, three dignitaries and a young man had ended the discussion. Before Gordon left, the Lord of Wands said to him, "Sheona has been living in Rainbow Springs Manor all this time. It's a bit cold to say that, but you have to remember that she is the most important pawn in the situation, and the key witness to Earl Thompson's crimes. ”

"I understand." Gordon understood. Recently, outside the Freeman Mansion has been hovering strangers from morning to night. They are undoubtedly the eyeliner of Earl Thompson. Gordon didn't want his sister, who had just recovered from an injury and needed to recuperate, to return home in this situation. Moreover, drawing the attention of Earl Thompson to his own home was also part of the plan.

At the meeting of the nobles, as a key figure in the demonic invasion incident, he must be on the cusp. So while these two days are still leisurely, you have to adjust your condition and be prepared.

Gordon straightened his mage robes and took his resign to the Scepter......

The citizens of Bishui City once again ushered in a winter morning. After eating a breakfast of pickled cabbage, frozen cheese and smoked fish, which are the most common in the Northland winter, they started their day's work full of energy.

In order to have a rich and comfortable day of blessing from the dragon god, in order to buy a beautiful coat for his wife, and in order to buy a jar of sweet honey candy for his children, even in the cold winter, men have to work hard. It was only when the goddess of the moon covered the sky with a black curtain that the citizens returned to their homes to treat their tired bodies with a glass of ale and a warm fire. Then wait in your sleep for the next day to come.

This kind of life is like a steady and ordinary infinite loop.

But for the nobles of the entire Blue Water City...... No, it should be the nobles of the entire Far Frost Province and the entire Northland, but today is an extraordinary day.

Because today is the day of the meeting of the nobles.
