In the Immortal Fortress and the fortress conference room, the empire's most elite and loyal soldiers loyally guarded outside the iron-thick gate. Twenty-two strong sergeants wearing heavy armor and holding black iron halberds guarded everywhere with due diligence.
His cold eyes blocked anyone who wanted to break into the venue.
Even if the sky falls, the soldiers will not allow anyone to disturb this meeting before the door is opened from the inside. This is an order from the commander-in-chief of the empire, recognized by the Supreme Command, and no one can violate it.
Trespassers do not need to be reported or tried, but can be killed on the spot to serve as a warning to others.
In the conference room, Brown Darkwill, who has a long black beard and a majestic face like a prairie lion, has perfectly inherited the rough and thick Chinese character face of his ancestors. The bloodline has continued from generation to generation without losing the heroic spirit of his ancestors.
On the contrary, through the inheritance from generation to generation, the majesty of the superior has been completely integrated into Darkwill's bloodline.
The unruffled and self-confident imperial commander wore a black and red dragon skin cloak and looked coldly at the twelve nobles sitting there. His cold chestnut eyes exuded heavy pressure, as if he wanted to find his own identity from everyone's facial expressions.
human weakness,
Unfortunately, during repeated inspections, Brown saw only the suspicion and greed hidden under the indifference, and everyone hid themselves deeply.
Having been able to hold the top position for so many years in an empire that believes in the supremacy of the strong, the leader here will naturally not reveal any flaws.
The harsh environment of survival of the fittest has already eliminated a large number of stupid and cowardly people in power. Every family has the most ancient and reliable family motto and inheritance method.
Even the most stupid idiot knows how to find a reliable heir among many outstanding descendants to continue the bloodline. After many layers of screening, at least there are no hopeless but wanton idiots among the leaders of the empire.
Everyone who appears here is a human being.
There is no doubt that this is a group of cunning and cruel jackals. While bowing their heads, they secretly hide in the grass, wagging their tails, and ogling another male lion invading its territory.
Perhaps it is because of the empire's defeat on Dragon Island in the past, or perhaps it is because Burnham, the iron-blooded commander who symbolized the fate of the country and suppressed the people for hundreds of years, has long been killed on the battlefield. The Supreme Command no longer has the centripetal force it once did, and anyone with a discerning eye can see it.
It can be seen that the people sitting here now are just hyenas serving themselves and their family's interests.
Brown lowered his head and narrowed his eyes. He knew that the reason for this situation was simply because he, the new commander-in-chief, did not have enough prestige. He had neither illustrious military exploits nor impressive political achievements.
In the Noxus Empire, the strong are supreme. If you want others to obey and obey you, you must either have bigger fists than others, or thirst for the blood of the enemy and have a faster sword than others. This is a very simple principle, and you can easily kill all opponents.
, no one will stand up to oppose it.
Just the dudes and losers who inherit the family will be looked down upon by others no matter how many retainers serve in the family. In Noxus, countless powerful families will eat the weak alive like jackals, even the bones.
I will chew it a few times and swallow it in my stomach...
Of course, this cruel fate does not include those old nobles who have regarded themselves as imperial senators since the founding of the country and used imperial laws to continue their prosperity.
Since the last imperial commander...that is, his father died in battle and the truce between the Noxus Empire and Demacia, the empire has never experienced a decent large-scale war. Most of the time, it just dealt with the mountains.
It is nonsense to say that thieves and bandits fight in small groups and want to achieve enough achievements to convince others and firmly hold the position of commander.
Brown knew that with the current complex situation of the empire, the consequences of rashly starting a war would be disastrous. If he wanted to make the empire great again, he must first eliminate internal troubles and root out the warlords in the south.
This is what he originally thought, and he continued to work hard for this purpose, until the Lord of the Emerald Territory came to this ancient and sacred land with unabashed ambition. The Dark Guard and the Meteorite of the Emerald Territory took all
All the plans were disrupted, and the originally clear situation of the empire became confusing again.
In this case, dealing with the Emerald Territory became the first goal. He wanted to let the Darkwill family lead Noxus to be great again, and he wanted to change the imperial commander into the supreme emperor of Noxus.
But he didn't want to think that he had worked so hard on the layout, but in the end he had made a wedding dress for the jade collar.
Therefore, this highest-level secret meeting must be held as soon as possible. He must find out how many of the powerful people in Noxus are on his side.
So far, among the eight families who have elected themselves to be the leaders of the empire, there have been two open rebels and three wavers. If we do not count the other three who have always remained neutral and just want to see the prosperity of the old nobles, now they are willing to
There are only three great nobles who speak out for the Darkwill family.
The Noxus Empire has no emperor, only aristocratic warlords who control most of the army. Although the general can make decisions with a single word, he must have enough supporters.
There are only four supporters among the twelve great nobles, which means that less than half of the soldiers of the Immortal Fortress are willing to stand up to safeguard the dignity of the Darkwill family. This is an extremely terrifying signal.
Undercurrents are turbulent beneath the calm surface of the lake, and the Darkwill family's pyramid-like stable dominance is in jeopardy.
Brown raised his head and focused his attention on the first seat again.
The head of the Swain family, the fifty-six-year-old Rogier Swain is as handsome as a boy, but his face and skin are extremely pale, and you can even see the purple blood vessels under his skin.
The man representing the old aristocratic power was dressed in a luxurious blue stand-collar dress. The man crossed his hands boredly on his chest and played with his delicate nails. His long, silky silver hair was tied behind his back, making him look elegant and noble.
The head of the Swain family wore a gentle smile, but his eyes reflected the noble color that symbolized the blood ancestor.
[Scarlet Immortal], born out of the purest blood power of the Blood Ancestor, is enough to reshape mortals and gain unimaginable power of time.
This is the darkest and most secret great power of the empire, and it is also the first threshold for him to pursue his ambition. If he wants to receive the gift from the moody blood ancestor Vladimir and become a scarlet immortal, he also needs the introduction of the Swain family.
Naturally, he would not cause trouble to the Swain family.
What's more, the Swain family, which represents the four old aristocratic forces, will never be an obstacle to him, nor will they give up the glory and wealth they have enjoyed for nearly a thousand years and join the camp of Lord Demon Face.
After all, everyone knows that the aristocrats of the Emerald Territory have many rules and restrictions. It is a place where even playing with a few slaves is not fun. The old aristocrats who have always been lawless will not abandon the light and turn to the dark as long as they are not stupid.
Therefore, the Swain family does not need to worry.
Brown set his sights on the second seat.
Mihail Myrdalda, the helmsman of the Myrdalda family, was wearing a slightly revealing low-cut dress. Her chocolate-colored healthy skin exuded an alluring luster. The dark green agate and white gold necklace on the woman's chest was covered by a streak.
The ravine is raised high, and together with the precious metal chain-shaped gemstone accessories on the face, it sets off the woman's charming face.
The woman perfectly combines debauchery and nobility, showing the elegance of a lady with every move and every smile. Only those cute and delicate little puppies who are stared at by the female hunter's hot eyes will know that this woman
How passionate and greedy in bed.
After most men have been honored guests of the Myrdalda family for a few months, they will be kicked out with a large amount of money. Even so, there are many self-recommended seats just because their brothers are willing to give it a try for their own future and bring them with them.
The steel ball and syringe go deep alone, eager to become the next guest under the woman's skirt.
There is no doubt that this is a woman who eats men without spitting out their bones, but to Brown himself, as an old noble like Standal, Myrdalda does not need to worry about leaning towards the Emerald Territory.
Although the Myrdalda family is business-oriented and has long-standing contacts with the Emerald Territory, they are deeply disturbed by the Emerald Territory's "exorbitant taxes". In addition, the Myrdalda family has been the business rival of the Emerald Territory for hundreds of years. Only Miha
If Yin Er is not stupid, he will not give up the basic plan that he has been working on for countless years.
The third seat was supposed to be for the new aristocratic Kecao family that controls the Assassin Council. Now that the Kecao family has publicly chosen the Emerald Territory, it has been placed in the eleventh position.
After glancing at Du Cacao, who was sitting at the bottom seat with his eyes closed and concentrating, Brown returned his gaze to the third seat.
The nobleman sitting in the third seat now is the head of the Sarapam family. Malthus Sarapam, who is as strong as an ox, noticed Brown Darkwill's gaze. The man in heavy armor grinned.
, he raised his calloused right hand and shook it. The veins on his arm were as hideous and terrifying as earthworms wriggling.
Despite Malthus's somewhat frivolous behavior, no one present dared to look down upon him.
Malthus was a well-known gladiator in the empire who was always victorious in the liquidation arena. As famous as he was at the height of his popularity, Malthus had top-notch combat power in capturing tigers and leopards alive and tearing apart lizards and oxen. Not to mention that Malthus was also the general of the Serapam Chapter.
Brown nodded, responding to Malthus's greeting.
The Sarapam family is the only two old nobles with military power. Together with the Darkwill family, they control the city guards in the inner city of the Immortal Fortress. In order to deepen their relationship with each other, the two families have always maintained the tradition of marriage. It can be said that
An unbreakable alliance.
Looking away from Malthus's face, Brown knew that the Sarapham family would be the die-hard supporters of the Darkwill family.
Sitting in the fourth seat is Brunsk Laite, the leader of the Laite family.
Brunsk also received the great gift of the Blood Ancestor and became the only scarlet immortal among the thirteen families.
Brunske, who is seventy-eight years old, has a handsome and enchanting face, and a man with brilliant short silver hair. He is the most famous night master at the imperial palace banquet, and is also a top hat maker that many nobles love and hate.
It is said that he has mastered the charm technique taught by the blood ancestor. Brunsk has unclear relationships with many ladies and girls. There are also more ignorant girls who long to become Brunsk's mistress. His life style can be said to be very strange.
Indiscretion.
For Brown, he does not like the Wright family, who are also old aristocrats.
A quarter of the empire's missing population comes from the Laite family and the slave-catching guards affiliated with the nobles affiliated with the Laite family. The remaining people either died in the liquidation arena or were trained by the Scarlet Knot.
became a supplier,
After all, immortality does not mean that there is no price. There is nothing wrong with letting inferior bloodline support noble bloodline. Looking at it from another perspective, those people are just living in the body of the nobleman in another form.
In addition to controlling the slave trade and running most of the brothels, the Wright family can be said to be synonymous with unhealthy traditions in the Noxus Empire. They openly abandoned the traditional Roxy spirit in the upper class society of the empire and brought hedonism and hedonism to the forefront.
Extremely dripping.
Members of the Laite family often take the initiative to organize a circle of nobles to have impart and have fun. They also like to seduce married women and carry forward the legacy of Wei Wu.
What's more, the Laite family would regularly arrange for masked ladies who were not satisfied with the status quo to act as female bodhisattvas and give alms in the slums, euphemistically calling it 'to achieve physical imperial equality'.
It can be said that the Laite family single-handedly lowered the moral standard of the empire. In a short time, countless illegitimate children and adopted children sprung up from the ground. Babies that had fallen to the ground popped up from the fields like bamboo shoots after rain, crying loudly.
The fields of the empire were lush and green, with only peasant women but no farmers.
Brown, who wanted to revitalize the empire, would naturally not like such old nobles, but he would not interfere too much with the Laite family's industry. On the one hand, the Laite family had not violated the bottom line of the empire, and had no regard for nobles and meritorious families.
They will only attack war orphans without fathers or mothers in the form of redemption, and the Darkwill family will receive a share of the dividends from the Leite family.
In this case, Brown naturally has no reason to interfere. It is better to say that the operation of the Laite family will greatly promote the growth of the population and fill up the young adults and combat capabilities. Turning a blind eye is the best choice.
If there is anyone other than the Sarapam family who is least likely to join the Emerald Territory's camp, it is the morally corrupt Laite family.
The laws of the Emerald Territory are aimed at human trafficking and slave trade. If the Emerald Territory is allowed to rule the Immortal Fortress, the Lett family will not only shed a layer of skin.
Because of this, the Laite family will never be his enemy.
Brown Darkwill shifted his gaze and looked at the heroic and powerful middle-aged beautiful woman sitting in the fifth seat. Facing the last of the old aristocratic forces, Brown's calm eyes did not change, but his heart became cold.
Adlet Lessers, a despicable traitor.
The Raises family operates many fleets. With the support of the empire, they send governors to establish colonies on the ocean. They are obviously an old aristocratic force that grew up drinking the mother's milk of the empire, but they take the initiative to have close contact with the Lord of Demon Face. Is there any problem?
There are few rumors that the Raises family has taken refuge with Lord Demon Face.
