For both factions, there is no objection to either recovering the East or destroying the Church, which is something that has long been planned by the previous meeting.

The only disagreement is when to take revenge on Dawn.

Due to the clear diplomatic attitude shown by Roland before, no one finally mentioned taking a step back this time and revealing the approach. However, city hall officials still want to wait until after the ceremony is over to negotiate "justifiably" and do not rule out the use of force. Obviously, the future planning conference at the time of the Evil Moon gave them enough temptation and motivation to support the fourth prince to ascend the throne as soon as possible and become the veritable king of the Grey Keep, and they could also go from local officials to real ministers of the kingdom.

Not to mention the large number of troops and resources required to fight in the Dawn of Dawn, the enthronement ceremony will obviously be affected as well - no king will send his elite men when he ascends the throne and then simply scribble the coronation ceremony, which will not look good to anyone.

Of course, the final decision still rests with Roland.

For three days, he just watched the discussion and did not show any obvious inclination, which was similar to the tough attitude of the previous oral diplomatic letter. It is precisely because of his silence that everyone has room for heated debate.

It's not that he's changed his mind, but he's waiting for an opportunity.

An opportunity to get the most out of it at the lowest cost.

In the evening, there was a knock on the office door.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was Andrea.

It's finally here.

If she doesn't come on her own initiative, she will have to go to her on her own - that will undoubtedly be much less effective, and whether it will be possible or not is a matter of whether it will be repaid.

"Oh, dried fish," the nightingale figured out, handing her a slice of honey-glazed grilled fish. Aside from Wendy, the other party is one of the few witches who can share snacks from Nightingale.

This is probably the mutual attraction between the aristocracy?

"Thank you," but Andrea's interest didn't seem to be high, she took the dried fish and put it in her pocket, then stroked her chest and saluted, "Your Majesty, I ......"

Halfway through, she paused again, as if she didn't know what to say.

"You want me to save your childhood friend, Otto Lossie, right?" At this point, Roland couldn't make Andrea hesitate any longer, and if she changed her mind, wouldn't it be in vain these days?

In addition, he vaguely guessed the other party's hesitation, one thing is certain, Otto and her must be a one-sided secret love relationship, and because of this, she does not know what position to use to say this request. After so many years, Andrea does not miss her past in the Dawn Kingdom, after all, after Earl Quinn found out that she was a witch, he did not protect her, but directly faked an accidental death, this kind of memory is really not very good.

When Otto visited Wudong last winter, Andrea's performance was very clear, obviously not wanting to be involved with the past anymore. Now I come to the door, I'm afraid it's just because of simple kindness and reluctance.

"Yes......" she took a deep breath and nodded slowly.

"But at the meeting, you also heard everyone's discussion, if you want to force Ampein to submit, you need at least three thousand troops or more, plus the troops attacking the Holy City, it will increase to about five thousand, which is already eighty percent of the strength of the first army. ”

Despite the differences, the town hall and the staff made a rough plan - since neither the Hermes plateau nor the Dawn Kingdom had a water system directly connected to the Grey Keep, supplies could only be carried out by horse-drawn carts and manpower, and the logistics team was surprisingly large. In addition, the remaining two percent need to stay in the kingdom, so that the first army has no spare strength to garrison the territory, so it can only leave after the battle. All things considered, it's definitely a loss-making deal.

"It's just people, if you count things...... All kinds of wear and tear, the cost of carriages and horses, the cost of food and grass-" Looking at Andrea's increasingly embarrassed expression, Roland was about to add another fire, but his voice suddenly stopped.

"Your Majesty?" the blonde witch couldn't help but be stunned.

He didn't notice something wrong, but the nightingale pinched him hard behind his back, and then said in a volume so small that only he could hear, "Don't you force her, just say no?"

"Ahem...... It's nothing," Roland coughed twice, "It's just an objective situation, but with some subjective efforts, it's not that the disadvantage can't be reversed, it's just ...... It depends on how far the three families are willing to go. ”

"The Big Three...... Family?"

"It is clear that the king no longer trusts them, and we alone may be able to save Otto, but this will also cause a complete break between the royal family of Moa and the House of Lotsi. Even if Ampein is ousted from the throne, will the next Lord of Dawn forget all this?" Roland touched his chin and said, "In the face of a strong enemy like the devil, I can't invest too much energy and manpower in neighboring countries, and it is they who ultimately decide where Dawn will go." ”

Andrea seemed to realize something, "Please continue. ”

"Someone has to replace the Moan royal family. He said word for word.

"......" the other party was silent for a while, "I see, do you have a plan?"

is worthy of being a woman from a big family, Roland thought to himself, in the face of such a thing as subverting the royal power, he could not change his face, and the next conversation would undoubtedly be much simpler. He asked bluntly, "Are you interested in becoming the Lord of the Dawn?"

"Your Majesty?" Andrea finally looked surprised this time, "No...... I don't want to leave—"

"Leaving what?"

She bit her lip, "No, it's nothing...... I mean, I'm not interested in the throne of Glow. ”

Roland was a little surprised—not that she didn't want to be the King of Dawn, but that she showed a demeanor that clearly looked like she was suffering from gains and losses, which was rare in Andrea, who was always full of grace in her gestures.

Is there anything more unsatisfying than being the king of a nation?

Roland took a sip of tea quietly, but fortunately he still had a backup plan.

"What about your father? Will he stand up?"

In addition to the fact that the Quinn family is the best choice, Andrea, who is liked by both Otto and Oro, is also the key - it can be said that her opinion is more representative of the three families in a sense.

According to the level of education in Neverwinter, the trained manpower is not enough to use in the kingdom, and it is not practical to completely control Dawn, and it is more convenient to support a regime that leans towards the Grey Keep. If Andrea agrees to this plan, he will not have to pay too much and will be able to get the resources of his neighbors.

"Of course, the other two will not be without gains, and this power shift will make all participants the winners, and more importantly, the threat that will weigh over your heads will cease to exist. Roland said slowly, "In this way, there is no need for Wudong to invest troops and financial resources in a big way, just need to assist the Quinn family to complete this change." ”

This time Andrea didn't hesitate for long, and after a moment's thought, she agreed, "I want to ...... Father, he would have said yes. ”

After a slight pause, she repeated, "No, he'll say yes." ”

When the other party said this, Roland knew that she understood what she meant.

The time is ripe.

"Then Wudong will take action soon, don't worry...... Otto Losi won't be held for long. ”
