To the west of the Grey Castle, north of the Fortress of Long Song. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

Sir Silt sat by the fireplace with a serious expression.

Yesterday evening he left the mansion and was not heard from until the next morning.

He had a bad feeling in his heart.

Recently, Meso has been very close to the major families of the West, and the Honeysuckle family, who are in charge of the fortress, has also released rumors that His Highness intends to integrate the West, and that the same law will be applied to all realms, and at the same time the great nobles will be withdrawn from the fiefdom power - which means that they will not be able to expand their lower nobles, nor can they recruit knights to fight for themselves.

As for the minor nobles like Silt, it doesn't have much impact, and there are even a lot of benefits. After all, in the rumors that have been released, as long as you are loyal to His Royal Highness the Prince, you can get rich rewards. So at this time, the little nobles have become the most stable group, and they can accept it regardless of whether His Highness's reform plan succeeds or fails.

Therefore, it is wisest to see what happens.

But Miso Silt doesn't think so.

"Master, the attendant who went out to look for the Second Young Master has returned," said the butler, pushing open the door of the knight's study.

"How's it going, have you found him?"

"No," the butler shook his head, "the taverns, casinos, theaters, and brothels of the fortress have all been searched, but there is still no trace of the young master. ”

Sir Silt became a little anxious, and sent out to find Mesau in two groups, the first of which went to the nearby lesser noble realms - most of them were knights of Duke Lane's domain, and their status was equal to his own, so Meso often went to these realms for some party dinners or something.

The second group was the entertainment venues in the fortress city, which was also a favorite place for young aristocrats.

Seeing that both groups of people returned empty-handed, Jazz's bad premonition grew stronger and stronger.

He got up and walked to the window, looking to the east of the realm—and in that direction across the two knights' domains was the territory of the Elk family, the largest earldom in the West. Since the fall of Duke Lane and the Honeysuckle family's Pero completely fell to the fourth prince, the Elk family has vaguely become the leader of the fight against the prince's forces.

Hell, Miso wouldn't have gone there......

"Master, the second young master is back!" Suddenly an attendant ran into the study, "He was changing his clothes in the hall, and it seemed that he was going to go out again." ”

"What!" said Sir immediately picked up the cane at his side, and walked briskly downstairs despite the butler's dissuasion.

As soon as he stepped into the hall, Sirt felt a buzz in his head—he saw Miso take off his thick coat and put on a thin soft leather coat, and in front of him, a shiny knight's armor was placed. The two servants were busy preparing for the final fitting of the armor.

"Where did you go yesterday!" exclaimed the old sir, "what are you going to do now?"

"Father, our chance has come," said Miso excitedly, "from the lowest knight to baron...... Or even a chance for the viscount!"

Silt felt his heart surge, "Who told you that?"

"Master Jacques Dmied, he has brought a secret order from His Majesty!"

When it was over, Sylter couldn't help but take two steps back, and his heart sank to the bottom. Jacques Med is the eldest son of the Elk family, not to mention the new king Tifeco, who knows that the enemy he wants to eliminate the most is probably Roland Wimbledon, who rules the West.

The last thing he wanted happened anyway, and it seemed more serious than he thought.

"You...... What did you hear?"

"Lord Dmitry summoned most of the nobles of the Western Realm to his castle, and published His Majesty's handwritten paperwork, which stated that as long as he took the fortress of Changge for him, everyone's titles and territories would be promoted by one level!" Miso seemed to be still immersed in the grand scene of the time, "Lady Miriel of the Wild Rose Family, Lord Kavin of the Maple Leaf Family, and Lord Reminoa of the Running Wolf Family all pressed their handprints without hesitation and swore an oath to serve Your Majesty. The rest of the nobles and knights are also determined to follow the four great families and remove the Honeysuckle Family's rule over the fortress!"

It's just stupid, how could the four great families make a decision on the spot because of a piece of paper?Sir lamented to himself, have you forgotten that when Duke Lane was still the guardian of the West, these people were perfunctory to Wimbledon III's will? When did they change their temper and become so loyal?

There is only one answer, and it is a complete drama, in order to convince the petty nobles who participate in the rally of the good situation and encourage them to become the vanguard of this undercurrent. And the specific plan is likely to have started a few months ago, and now the four families are afraid that even the division of interests after the victory has been determined.

Silt opened his mouth, but he couldn't express his thoughts, Miso Silt was not the eldest son, Filin, and some dissuasion did not work for him at all.

"Where are you going with this armor?" said the old knight, after a moment of silence.

"To win honor and status," Miso put on a cuirass made of stainless steel, "Even if Dawn Dawn becomes the first knight of the West, he is the only one who will be glorified, and I will be glorified by the whole family, my father." When the dust settles, you'll see that I'm no worse than my brother. ”

If Tifeco can completely defeat Roland, you are right, but the new king's army is still far away in the royal capital, but His Royal Highness Roland is close at hand.

"Have you forgotten how Duke Lane fell?" said Syrt in a deep voice.

"This time it's different, His Majesty the King has brought a batch of snow powder weapons, the same ones used by the fourth prince before, and according to Lord Med, more powerful ones are yet to come...... Without the advantage in weapons, will Roland be able to recapture the fortress of Changge again?" Miso pinned the sword to his waist and nodded to his father, "The battle will begin soon, please wait here for my good news." ”

Looking at the back of his second son's departure, Silt slammed his cane to the ground.

"You, master...... Don't you stop him?" said the butler, who came up to the trembling old knight, and asked worriedly.

"It's easy to stop him, but in this way, I'm afraid the family will be wiped out. He shook his head slowly. What does it mean for a nobleman who attended the "rebellion" meeting to assemble at the place of attack as agreed? Whether it is a crime of escape or defection, it can lead to the death of the Sylt family.

"On the bright side, what if the four great families win?" the butler comforted, "After all, the Demon Moon won't end so soon, and by the time the snow melts, I'm afraid it will be two or three months later." When the army of the four princes arrived, it was possible that the king's army had already surrounded the western frontier. ”

If it had been before, he might have thought so, but since he had been to Borderland, Sir had a very different opinion of His Highness Roland, not to mention that his eldest son, Flynn Silter, and his benefactor, Lord Agatha, both lived in Borderland.

He looked at the butler and commanded, "You should now leave for the border town and tell His Highness Roland the news, and if the gates are closed, go to the wharf on the outskirts to look for the ferryman or fisherman." Whether it's heavy money or employment, coercion and inducement, I don't care what method you use, you must bring the news to Your Highness!" (To be continued.) )
