Chapter 158: Enemies and friends

　　 Ryan sat back in the car, and Oxilia followed silently.
　　 The windshield of the car was pierced by the gunman, but the body was not damaged, and the driver was not injured. He was just a little frightened and soon returned to normal.
　　The silver-clad knights followed by the car, returning to the formidable path. The citizens of Modu onlookers laughed, as if they had won a victory against foreign enemies.
　　 "It was a good opportunity just now."
　　 Oxilia suddenly said, "Rossa Loggers is not weak, but I can deal with him. There is no need to back down like this. This will make the Mordu nobles doubt your determination."
　　 Ren heard the dissatisfaction in her words.
　　Master Anxi let himself go to Modu, in order to attract the attention of the nobles of Modu, the bigger the trouble, the better, it is best to turn Modu upside down, so that the enemy will expose some problems.
　　 If you just started with Rosa Loggs, then you have achieved your goal initially.
　　 Rein glanced at the invisible rainbow dragon from the corner of his eye. Her expression was even colder than before. Obviously, she thought she was scared just now.
　　 "I have my own consideration." He said, but did not explain carefully.
　　 Aoxilia did not ask any more questions.
　　 Ren can detect that the student of the Holy Soul Wizard, put himself down by a point.
　　He doesn't care.
　　As a chess piece, he has self-awareness and has never thought of jumping out of the chess game, but he does not want to be completely manipulated by people like a puppet, and has no brain to charge forward.
　　 Doing so may please Master Anxi, but it also puts himself in great danger, and finally ends up with a lot of money.
　　 Rennes also has his own ambitions. Glamorgan is an excellent territory. Whether it is geographical location or economic value, it is one of the few in the entire empire.
　　 He not only wants to be a pawn, but also really holds this territory in his hands.
　　 Then, I must not act recklessly.
　　 The great teacher teaches us who is our enemy and who is our friend, this is the first issue in the struggle.
　　 The seven local lords of Modu are obviously not monolithic. They cannot simply be treated as a whole. Their position must be clarified.
　　 The most complicated thing in the world is the human heart. It is very difficult to distinguish the position of others, but oneself has the eyes of the soul, and can easily judge the attitude of the other party. If you don't make good use of it, you are a fool.
　　 After clarifying their interest demands, they wooed a group, cracked down on a group, and divided the group.
　　 The attitude of Rosa just now is very interesting.
　　 Rehn thought to himself: "Look for a chance to contact Rosa, maybe Viscount Stoynde is a target to win."
　　 The car quickly returned to the pier, where there is a bridge across the Yero River. After crossing the bridge, the Earl of Glamorgan’s territory is located.
　　 Before Ren came, there had been no lord in this territory for more than 60 years.
　　According to the laws of the empire, after a lord dies, the title and fief will be succeeded by the descendants of the direct bloodline. If the direct bloodline is severed but there are side branches, then the object of the lord's allegiance, such as a duke, chooses an heir from the side branches.
　　 If there is no object of allegiance, this territory will be reclaimed by the empire and become a direct jurisdiction of the empire, and will never become the territory of the new aristocracy.
　　 In the history of the empire, most of the real nobles died like this.
　　 There were originally a dozen lords in the Modu area, but now there are only seven. Those nobles who have fallen or disappeared, their fiefs, are theoretically under the direct control of the empire.
　　 However, the nobles of Modu are too powerful, and the strong dragon does not crush the snake.
　　 The empire officials dispatched by the Archons could not compete with the nobles at all. They were basically emptied, and the territory was actually controlled by the surrounding nobles and annexed in another way.
　　Glamorgan is almost the same.
　　 At present, the person in charge of managing the territory is a general manager nominally appointed by the Duke of Silver Star. In fact, this general manager is selected by the local nobles of Modu.
　　 If you want to take over the territory, you must grab the power of governance from the master.
　　 Reyn checked the practices of the previous Earls of Glamorgan, and the first step was to take out the documents canonized by the Duke of Silver Star and ask the general manager to step down and hand over the territory.
　　 This is supported by the imperial law, but the general manager will not easily give in, delaying with various reasons, or even denying the authenticity of the document, and directly rejecting it.
　　 The manager himself generally doesn't have much strength, but there are a lot of guards around him, and there are no shortage of legendary and extraordinary people. It can be described as difficult to force the other party to give way.
　　 The first seven Earls of Glamorgan, who were named by the Duke of Silver Star, were helpless.
　　Only the previous earl, that is, the legendary wizard, found the opportunity to directly kill the director, and then successfully regained the sovereignty of the territory.
　　 This is just the first step. After becoming a lord, people have to rule, collect taxes, public security, and administration. These things must be done by people. Even if the legendary wizard has absolute strength, relying on himself alone, it will be overwhelmed and messed up.
　　 At the same time, he had to face the counterattack of the Modu nobles.
　　All kinds of open guns and dark arrows, can't relax at all times. The legendary wizard was already very cautious, but he was severely injured by the assassin and was forced to leave the territory and wasted.
　　 Ren looked at the silver knight outside the car, plus Mondeba and the Secret Fire Guard, there were only 26 people in total.
　　 With such a small number of people, it is impossible to rule the territory.
　　 Needless to think about it, the Duke of Silver Star did not expect ~EbookFREE.me~ that she might receive the Glamorgan collar, she was just cooperating with Master Anxi's plan.
　　 Otherwise, at least hundreds of silver knights and a large number of civilians must be sent.
　　 Of course, this is just a guess. The mind of the Holy Soul Wizard is not something ordinary people can figure out. Maybe the Duke of Silver Star will have more support in the future.
　　 Rehn thought for a long time, and the buildings outside the car windows gradually became shorter and less dense.
　　 This is already close to the outskirts of the city.
　　 He opened the map and took a look, and suddenly said loudly: "Wait a minute, we are walking from Bishui Street."
　　 The voice reached the two knights who opened the road in front. The two of them were able to recognize the way, but he hesitated when they heard Ren's order and looked at Pansil.
Bishui Street is the seat of the lord of Glamorgan. There is a huge castle. Because it is built on the only hill in the territory, it is a bit higher than the surrounding area. At the foot of the mountain, there is a small river surrounded by green water, so it is called Bishui. High Castle, where the counts of Glamorgan have lived, is equivalent to the administrative center, and is now the office of the director.
　　 As soon as Ryan arrived at Modu, he rushed straight into the clear water castle. If he wanted to attack directly on impulse, he might be wiped out.
　　 Oxilia's voice rang: "I don't support you doing this."
　　 Pansil approached the car window and asked in a low voice, "Your Excellency Earl?"
　　 "I just want to pass by and take a look." Renn smiled and explained.
　　 Pansil saw that he was not impulsive, and then he was relieved. The silver knight nodded slightly before moving on. The car and the team changed directions and headed to the clear water road.
