In the evening, Calvin Kant summoned the nobles of the Northlands to the castle. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The ballroom was filled with a roaring fire, reflecting everyone's figures on the walls, and the shadows danced like a strange mural.

Four long tables in the middle of the hall were filled with steaming meat and wine, and it looked like a sumptuous dinner, but the atmosphere was not relaxed, especially after the Duke told the news that the king had been conquered.

"I've sent someone to recover the team that set out four days ago, and if we're lucky, they'll come back alive," he said in a deep voice from his throne, "and the key is that we ...... What should the Northland do?"

The nobles looked at each other, probably because the news that Tifeko hadn't kept it for even a day was so terrifying that no one in the hall dared to answer for a while. Calvin saw cowardice and remorse in the eyes of many minor nobles, and Edith was right, there was absolutely no way for such a person to resist Roland Wimbledon, and the choice of king of the earth did not exist in the first place, and they really had only one way to go.

However, for the nobles who had just taken refuge in Tifeko, it was a little embarrassing to suddenly turn to the defection.

"Why don't we send an envoy to find out what the fourth prince is talking about?" someone said after a long time.

"If he doesn't interfere with the Northlands, we'll just support him as king," the remark was immediately echoed by another minor nobleman, "it's Wimbledon's own business anyway, and whoever becomes king is the same." ”

Count Lista sneered, "All the same?"

Calvin raised an eyebrow, and the point came.

Sure enough, after the Count spoke, everyone's voices were lowered, which made him a little uncomfortable. In fact, there is not much difference between the three forces themselves, and the Kant family is even worse...... It's just that he listened to his daughter's idea and was the first to show favor to Tifeko, so he got the duke's position.

Of course, he also understood that this was one of the new king's counterbalances - the other two families were probably happy to see their contempt and dissatisfaction with him.

"Have you all forgotten the Duke of Ace who was executed for treason?" said Lista coldly, "he didn't take the initiative to provoke Tifeco. If we had relented from the beginning, the noose would have been around our necks at any time, and it would have been too late to struggle! In the eyes of the fourth prince, we were really involved in the rebellion, and at least everyone had nothing to do with Tifeko!"

"What if you don't give in, even the king can't last a day, we're just eggs touching stones......" One of Calvin's vassals retorted in a low voice according to the agreed content, looking a little less imposing. Under the angry glance of the other party, the second half of the sentence was even more inaudible.

"I'm going to try it whether it's an egg or not," said Ed Hoss, "and the traitor has killed my brother!

"It may not be clear who the eggs are, for the Northlands are full of mountains and dangerous roads, and his army can gallop between the plains and the rivers, but they may not be able to eat in the Northlands. Count Hoth followed, "It's a big deal that the Matou family retreats into the Cold Wind Ridge, and I don't believe that his army can still fly up." ”

That would be exposing your back to the church, Calvin thought, and those people had bad intentions toward the Northlands as well. He had also heard about the sons of the Hoth family, who seemed to have died in a campaign against the lords of the West...... But how can there be no dead in battle? If shouting alone can make the other side pay, there is no need for the knight's sword armor to exist.

The voices in the hall gradually became noisy, and due to the statements of the Lista and Hoth families, the voices advocating to stand still and be ready to meet the attack slowly overwhelmed the party that took the initiative to inquire about the situation of the fourth prince and expressed good intentions. Although Calvin kept silent, he was a little anxious in his heart.

Edith won't be in any trouble, right?

"I wonder what the Duke thinks?" Probably after too long of silence, Count Lista turned his gaze on him.

Calvin's heart sank, and it was finally his turn, "I called you here just to hear your opinions. After all, this matter is related to the future of the Northland, and it cannot be overly cautious—"

Count Hoth interrupted impatiently, "Enough, I'm afraid you've already planned to pledge your allegiance to the fourth prince, otherwise how can you express those weak opinions all your vassals?"

"You ......," Calvin almost couldn't help but throw the glass out of his hand.

"In that case, we don't have much to talk about," Lista stood up and walked towards the entrance of the banquet hall, "By the way, if you want the fourth prince to spare your life, you can also tie Edith with her hands, I heard that guy is very good at beauty-uh-"

The laughter of the crowd came to an abrupt end with the Count's silence, and everyone could see the tip of the sword behind him, and the blood stains on it glowed dimly in the light of the fire.

"Are you talking about me, Lord Snow Fox? ”

The Count's body slipped limply to one side, and a tall armored warrior appeared in front of everyone, she drew her sword with a blank face, stepped over the still twitching and struggled, and walked into the hall.

It was none other than Edith Kant.

Calvin's mind was suddenly settled.

I saw that her armor was covered with dark red blood stains, obviously she had just experienced a fight, but even so, her demeanor was still unchanged, and her beautiful face carried a sense of slaughter. Then a group of sword-wielding samurai rushed in, instantly surrounding the hall. At this point, everyone understood what was going on.

"Guards!" Count Hoss's eyes widened, "you give the guards outside—"

"If I don't get rid of them, how can I concentrate on dealing with you?" Calvin let out a sigh and slammed the cup on the ground, "You seem to have forgotten that I'm the head of the North!"

This is the moment he has been waiting for, this kind of banquet will be held every once in a while, and the defense of the nobles is not high, and the guards accompanying them will not exceed a hundred, and they are basically left outside the castle area, which is suitable for catching them all. When the opponent's guards are successfully resolved, the overall situation is basically decided.

Of course, the decision-makers and executors of this plan are their own daughters, Edith, the pearl of the Northland.

The door of the banquet hall slowly closed, and the fire swayed in the cold wind.

The vassals of the two families drew their swords one after another, and the minor nobles were terrified.

"You're crazy!" Ed Hoss said through gritted teeth.

Calvin no longer disdains the battle of words at this moment, "Those who lay down their arms and surrender will not die." If there is resistance...... Kill or kill!"

The words landed, and the two groups of people collided together in an instant.
