Chapter 187: Eric's narrative

"Alright, alright." I took the initiative to interrupt the conversation with Lance, and sat on the sofa next to Eric, "Eric, how is your fiefdom?" "The loss is heavy, sir." Eric He replied helplessly, "Many of the industries in my name have been hit by the enemy. Only one-third of those that should not be affected are illegally deprived of another one-third. My troops were besieged by bandits of unknown origin and suffered heavy losses. , And half of my fief is now occupied by so-called bandits, and a lot of wealth has been plundered. What’s more serious is that those are now preparing to convene a throne meeting, intending to deprive me of my duke title for conspiracy and sentence me to hang. "
"Well, it sounds like you are in a bad situation, Eric." I touched my nose and said, "Yes, please help me." Eric sighed, "Now even if I can get back I'm afraid I won't be able to turn the tide in my own fief." I didn't answer his request. Instead, I asked an irrelevant question: "Do you know the truth of the world?" Eric froze for a moment, then replied in a low voice. "Yes, Lance has already told me." "Then do you think those nobles can save Eldia?" I asked again, and Eric smiled disdainfully: "It's impossible at all. , When the crisis comes, those guys will hide in their sanctuary like mice and tremble." "What about you Eric?" I asked again, speaking very fast, "You will be like Those nobles, like ostriches, turn a blind eye to external crises, or do they choose to join forces to create a new future for Eldia? Can we trust you without reservation?" "Gawain!" Lance couldn't help calling Dao, I turned my head and glared at him, and asked him to hold back the rest of the words. "Why did you join the Restoration Faction? Just to use us to help regain everything you lost?" I asked harshly.
Eric lowered his head and remained silent for a long time. I also waited patiently for his answer. Finally, he swallowed and replied with a dry voice: "I am different from them. They only know that they want to have fun all day long. I spend time and drink, and I yearn for the outside world. The reason why I was attacked by other nobles is because I openly supported the investigation corps and provided financial assistance to the investigation corps; after the Mary Wall incident, I strongly opposed their execution Recapture war to reduce the population plan, and secretly carry out technological research and development in my fief; at the same time, I tried to contact the reinstatementists, and wanted to unite them to suppress the stubborn nobles..." Hearing this, I finally understand why Egypt Rick is a Duke but he will appear in the dungeon of the Central Gendarmerie, and there are so many nobles who want to kill him. According to him, it's strange that other nobles did not do everything possible to kill him!
"The Reis family sent an anti-personnel suppression force to raided my team while I was patrolling the territory, and took me and my housekeeper, fiancee, and guards away and imprisoned in a dungeon. My fief suffered heavy losses, and I am still where I am now, but even so, I do not regret my previous behavior. I believe that I was not the first to fall, nor will I be the last. The road to success is always full Thorns, and I am willing to use my own blood to pave the way for the latecomers. I joined the restitutionist because the restitutionist is consistent with my goals, so I am willing to contribute all my strength to the restitutionist without reservation, for Al Diabo takes a chance!" Eric was relatively calm when he first started speaking, and then he became completely excited...
