The northern border of the kingdom, Longyaling.

A large group of people from the Western Frontier moved slowly, entering Longyaling City, and heading straight to the Lord's Castle.

At the gate of the castle, Duke Edward from the west was seen getting off the carriage, and Duke Lehmann took the nobles behind him to meet him.

He was very happy and laughed, "Hahahaha, I've been waiting for you, Duke Edward."

Last time, Duke Lehman wrote a letter to the Duke of Westward, sending him a request to form a coalition.

Later, after several letters were contacted by the two sides, the Duke of Lehman finally invited the other party over.

"Duke Lehman, come and be fine." Duke Edward greeted politely.

"I am fine!"

Duke Lehman responded with a smile, and turned back.

"Come on, Duke Edward, let me introduce you to this person..."

After the two sides introduced the nobles they brought to each other, Duke Lehman led everyone through the courtyard and into the inside of the castle.

In the spacious conference room, two groups of nobles sat on one side of the long table and began to discuss important matters.

"Duke Edward, you are definitely incredibly right to come this time."

Duke Leman said first: "Everyone should know about Fengsui City. The damn pseudo-king king directly brought his army into the city and announced that the city was his. It was clearly rewarded by King White Wells, but I did not make any mistakes, but I was taken away with force. Everyone, I am a living example, and the next one may be your turn."

"That's right!"

The nobles in the north agreed and said, "There are also things in the south. You should have heard of them. The new king took all the land for himself, and all the nobles who were unwilling to hand over the territory were executed. If we continue to remain indifferent, we will sooner or later fall into such a situation."

"Duke Edward." Duke Lehmann then asked, "I heard that the pseudo-king's army suddenly broke into the deep mountains in the north of the western border recently. Is this a matter?"

"That's the case."

Duke Edward nodded and said, "But I only found out after they finished their operation."

"Oh—look."

Hearing this, Duke Leman couldn't help but shook his head and lamented.

"The pseudo-king didn't take you, the Duke of the West, seriously. You come and go. Not to mention, the 'egg' organization he wiped out is the behind-the-scenes force that provides us with toys. Don't you think it's a pity to destroy it?"

"Well said! You can't let the fake king continue to do evil."

"That's right! We orthodox nobles must bring the Kingdom of Morning Light back on track, which is a good thing for everyone."

"Yes! We should unite and overthrow the fake king!"

Not only the nobles in the north, but also many nobles in the west agreed with what Duke Lehman said.

"At this point, we cannot have any fantasy about the fake king."

Taking advantage of the fire, Duke Leman continued: "He is now blatantly carrying out the so-called reform, and vows to eliminate us nobles, and we cannot sit still and wait for death!"

"Duke Lehman, I agree with you very much."

Duke Edward said, "But, the pseudo-king army is too powerful. Can we defeat him by joining hands?"

"Yes! If so many nobles from the north and south are joining hands, the number of troops that can gather must be greater than the puppet king's army."

A northern nobleman said with confidence: "Also, we have the weapons equipped by the pseudo king's army! What else should we be afraid of? We will definitely defeat the pseudo king!"

The number of people is superior, and the weapons are not bad. In the eyes of the northern nobles, the advantage lies entirely with them.

"Are you talking about muskets?" Duke Edward's face still had concerns. "King White Wells's troops also had muskets, but weren't they defeated in the end? In addition, the pseudo-king also owned a very powerful huge iron ship. Do we have one too?"

Edward didn't like to mix things up with such things, otherwise he wouldn't have remained neutral in the battle for the throne, and then directly surrendered to the winner after finding the result.

Now that Irving defeated White, Duke Edward originally planned to surrender to Irving as before.

However, when he heard that Irving was vigorously promoting reform, he hesitated.

Surrendering means handing over his territory and noble privileges. Duke Edward's position was difficult to accept, so he did not make any statement.

While Irving was waiting anxiously for him, Duke Lehman wrote.

Duke Edward actually wanted to join forces with him, but he had not made a decision for a long time.

Because Duke Edward was afraid of failure, the result of the defeat would be even his own life, and he didn't want to die.

That's why Duke Edward chose to come to Longyaling in person. He wanted to know why Duke Lehman confidently defeated Irving, and then decide whether to join forces.

"Although we don't have a big iron ship, it doesn't matter."

Duke Leman said slowly: "No matter how big or strong the fake king's big iron ship is, it is still a ship after all. If it is a ship, it cannot be ashore. My Longya Ridge is so far from the Pilgrimage River. Duke of the West, your city is not built on the edge of the river. Is it necessary to be afraid of that big iron ship? There is no need to!"

"That's right!"

A northern nobleman agreed: "As long as we don't fight against the puppet king's army in the river field, his large iron ship is just a decoration, no need to worry."

"We can avoid the edge of the situation."

“It makes sense.”

Other nobles responded one after another.

"In addition, King White Wells was defeated because he lacked a strategic weapon that only the pseudo-king kings had." Duke Lehman continued.

"Indeed, I heard that the fake king had a large, thick tube that could attack extremely long-rangely, caught King White Wells off guard."

Duke Edward recalled and said, "That thing seems to be called a cannon."

In response, Duke Lehman smiled slightly and said mysteriously: "Duke Edward, do you remember that I said in my letter that there is something important to show you?"

"Does..." Duke Edward was startled, "You are creating artillery?"

"That's right!" Duke Leman's lips raised, "People, please follow me, I'll take you to see."

Under the leadership of Duke Lehman, a group of nobles came to the east gate of Longyaling.

A big guy was placed in a certain open space, with a layer of cloth covering it. There was a guard guarding each side on both sides.

Duke Leman walked straight over, took off the cloth, and displayed a shiny black cannon in front of everyone.

"This is the cannon created by our Longyaling!"

"oh--"

The nobles from the north had seen it for a long time, mainly the nobles from the west walked up to observe curiously, and some people even reached out to caress them.
