The nearby corpses have been carried away, but the cleaning was not thorough. If you smell it carefully, you can still smell a faint smell of blood.
James was sitting alone in the living room at this time, his face full of irritability and even a little panic.
Just one day ago, he was in high spirits when he defeated the Senate's rebellion. In the blink of an eye, he was knocked back to his original state one day later. Originally, James thought that after defeating the Senate, he would become the sole master of Piaoxue City.
, confidently sent someone to notify the four army commanders to come to the Marquis Mansion to discuss matters.
Unexpectedly, one day passed and none of the four legion commanders came. If Ou Ze of the first legion had ideas, James might understand, but two of the legion commanders he personally promoted pretended to be sick and hid in the military camp.
Not coming out made him feel a deep sense of frustration. He had clearly defeated the Senate, but he had a feeling of betrayal and alienation. The Senate was not enough to accomplish anything, but it was more than enough to fail. Once it was activated, James, the Marquis, gave the last trace of his majesty.
All were lost. Except for the First Legion, which they could not move, the remaining three legions were all infiltrated by the Elders to varying degrees. James did not uproot the Elders at once, so now the army began to wait and see.
Piaoxue City was obviously his base camp, but it already made him feel unsafe.
"Lord Marquis, Lord Letterman just left."
"This ungrateful guy! I knew I shouldn't have given it to him!"
"Why didn't you stop him!"
"this…"
The guards didn't know how to answer this. Letterman was a great knight. Apart from reporting, who among these small soldiers would dare to stop the other party?
"boom!"
Just when James was feeling irritable, his bodyguards brought him another piece of bad news. The trump card he relied on to make a comeback was that the great knight Lightman took his high-level knight's blessing potion and left. This news
This directly ignited the anger in James's heart, and he punched open the table in front of him that had been changed several times.
The personal guards who came in to report the news were trembling in James's incompetent rage, fearing that James would be blamed for his wrath. Anyone with a violent personality like James would be a headache for anyone who encountered him. Marquis Wade was fashionable and elegant when he was alive.
I can still suppress him, but now that he has become the Marquis of the North, he has unleashed his nature more and more.
There have even been cases where he took out his anger on others and maimed servants. Fortunately, although James was irritable, he was not confused. Even if he found the gas pump, he would not find it on these personal guards who fought for him.
…
"Hahahaha, the elders were defeated by James and two of them died?"
Outside Piaoxue City, a burst of hearty laughter came from the station of the First Legion, and this laughter was full of schadenfreude.
"Yes, Lord Legion Commander, the people from the Council of Elders are now asking for a meeting outside the camp."
"Don't these old guys want to leave me alone? Now they are here to beg me?"
"Then, shall we drive people away?"
"No, let them in."
After Ou Ze considered it, he decided to meet with the Elders. Although he controlled the most powerful first legion in Piaoxue City, he was not named Lanster after all. The Elders could leave him alone and go it alone, but he
But it is difficult to sell James for a good price alone.
Soon the representatives of the Elder Council walked in under the leadership of the guards.
"Commander of the Ozer Army."
"Senior Igor, why did you come to see me?"
Although Ou Ze had the intention of cooperating with the Council of Elders, there was still a hint of sarcasm in his words. It was because the Council of Elders was so bad at doing things, Ou Ze couldn't help it.
"Big things about your future, your wealth and your life."
Igor didn't care about Ou Ze's tone, but instead brought the topic to Ou Ze first.
"Oh, my future, wealth and life? I am sitting in this camp, who can touch my wealth and life?"
Unlike the other three legions, where the commanders and flag commanders constrained each other, the first legion was almost completely turned into a private army by Ou Ze after Lin Te left. Although it received the food and salary from Piaoxue City, it was somewhat disobedient.
Xuan means that the army of 20,000 people is completely under Ou Ze's control.
"You have been in your own hands for the past two days. When the Hunter family's army and dragon arrive, are you sure you can still control it?"
"Ahem, if you have any questions, please tell me directly, Elder Igor."
"What happened a few days ago, the Council of Elders agreed. The commander of the Ozer Army will control Piaoxue City and cooperate with the Hunter family. You will have a share of the castle and the land."
"Add ten knight estates."
"It's too much. The Hunter family promised Lanster not to leave much land."
"This is the bottom line, you are here to beg me this time."
Ou Ze did not expect that after the Hunter family came, he could still dominate the army of 20,000 people. The conditions discussed now were just to prepare for the future. A castle and the land of ten knights' manor were enough for him.
He is living a good life. Of course, it would be best if he could continue to command the army.
"Okay, send troops now. If the Hunter family arrives and we haven't dealt with it well, I'm afraid there will be nothing."
After thinking about it for a while, Elder Igor nodded and agreed to Ou Ze's request. Anyway, two unlucky people died, and some of the interests of their two families can be divided and given to Ou Ze. Anyway, he will not touch his piece of cake.
.
"Adjutant Volodin!"
"exist!"
"Call the troops into the city immediately!"
"Yes, Lord Legion Commander!"
…
While a series of struggles were still going on in Piaoxue City, Richard, who had caused all these events, was leading his army halfway. On the way, he also met up with Lin Te who had come from Suppressing Demon City. This time he took over.
Lin Te is also one of the important figures in Piaoxue City.
Things in the Demon Suppressing City have been sorted out for the time being. The ogres in the wilderness will no longer be able to threaten the Demon Suppressing City for a while. As the city lord, Lin Te's absence for a while is not a big problem.
On the contrary, Lint is more familiar with Piaoxue City. With his cooperation, Rhodes can reduce a lot of early troubles.
"There shouldn't be any problems over there in Piaoxue City, right?"
What Richard was worried about was not whether he could capture Piaoxue City, which was basically a certainty. What he was concerned about was how to obtain a complete Piaoxue City. He was afraid that those Lansters would get mad and cause trouble.
"Don't worry, Mr. Richard, with these four dragons like you, those old guys will definitely try their best to give you a complete Snow City."
While talking, Lint's attention was always focused on the four giant dragons in the sky. The four dragons came in three colors and there were no knights on them. This was the little basic information Lint could get, and the rest was basically at a loss.
, he also couldn’t understand how Richard managed to seduce the four giant dragons while he was in charge of the Demon City. However, Richard didn’t take the initiative to say it, and Lin Te didn’t ask. Sometimes he talked to smart people.
Talking can save a lot of words.
"But what will Sir Richard do next after he takes over Piaoxue City?"
Lin Te spoke of Piaoxue City very lightly, as if he was speaking from the perspective of a stranger, rather than a person named Lanster.
"what you think?"
"The next target is of course the river valley, but the time is not now."
"When the orcs break the Dragon's Breath Pass, it won't be too late for us to send troops to the valley. Then we will block the orcs south of the valley to ensure peace first."
"Are you so pessimistic?"
Lin nodded and did not deny it.
"However, when I see you giant dragons, you can't see the situation clearly. Please tell me, will the tribe behind them fully support you?"
Richard shook his head when he heard this. Golden Dragon Cliff was already the latest target. He could build it as long as he defeated an adult golden dragon head-on and gained approval, but it could only be built once a week. There was no group to talk about in a short period of time.
Richard had tried to spar with the system's golden dragon before, knocking it over head-on, but the construction of the Golden Dragon Cliff was still in a gray state. Obviously the system did not approve of his behavior, so he had to find a fight with the local golden dragon.
Thinking about it carefully, the only thing he could find recently was the golden dragon under Sol who was in charge of Wangdu. Richard also thought that once the incident in Piaoxue City was over, he would have to find a way to find a way to spar with Sol's golden dragon in Wangdu.
.
"Without the support of their tribe, those four dragons can't change anything."
Since more than fifty years ago, the orcs have not been afraid of a few golden dragons, but the ethnic groups behind those golden dragons. The meaning of Richard's four giant dragons is greatly reduced without the support of the ethnic groups.
"Let's talk about the matter at hand first. After taking over Piaoxue City, how do you want me to deal with the Lanster family."
Richard could feel that Lint didn't care too much about the family, had no hatred, and didn't have much emotion. He acted entirely in the interests of the Hunter family, but Richard still had to ask more.
"Just deal with it according to the previous agreement. If Lord Richard feels that they want too much, you can ask them to hand over another part to save their lives."
"No, I will give them everything they want, mainly the title of Marquis of the North. What do you think about it?"
"Just help any knight of the Lanster family inherit the title, as long as it's easy to control."
"I mean, don't you intend to inherit the position of Marquis?"
