The next day, Ante stood in the small open air square of the castle. The stone statues of women with severed arms on both sides watched him silently. Little Sir trembling slightly in the cold wind, every breath he exhaled was white. But he still insisted on standing here, and when he saw a group of horses and carts leaving on the Lake Bay Boulevard of the castle, he waved goodbye to the direction of the convoy. The distance is too far, Unte's vision is not as sharp as the strong, he only sees the outline of the team. As for the knights riding on horses, or the infantry following behind, they were just black spots in the eyes of Little Sir.
But he knew that Edward must be able to see it. And he wants to convey goodwill.
It was not until the convoy got ashore that Unte walked back to the castle. The temperature in the castle was high, so he took off his fur cloak, his legs softened and almost sat on the ground. Fortunately, the butler was supporting him. The new housekeeper is a middle-aged man in his forties. He has been working with the old housekeeper before and is very familiar with the affairs of the castle. After the death of the old housekeeper, Ante promoted him, which indirectly improved the quality of life of a family.
Therefore, the new housekeeper was very dedicated to Ante, and immediately asked: "My lord, are you all right?"
"It's nothing, me, after all, it's still that Unter. Although I desperately want to be a father-like person, I can't possibly be so weak, right? [" Unter lowered his head so as not to let people see his eyes. Splashing water.
The housekeeper groaned: "My father said that. He said that I don't have to be like him. As long as I live my way and feel happy, it is a successful life. My father is a carpenter, but I Xiaoxiao is not interested in those pieces of wood. As you can see, I did not become a carpenter today, but your steward. Moreover, I think this kind of life is pretty good."
Unter raised his head, seeming to understand something.
The butler smiled and said: "Daniel-sama is indeed a respectable lord, but people's respect for him comes from his force in many parts. So I think it is not so much respect, but fear is more accurate. Ang Teda People do not have the force of your father, but during this period of time I get along with the adults, and I can feel that they are a gentle-hearted person. Maybe you can't be a strong fighter like Daniel Daniel, but you can bring wealth to the leaders. Life can also win everyone’s respect."
"It's a real tribute."
Ante blinked his eyes: "Really? But if I am not strong enough, the territory will be deceived, as my father always said."
"My lord, not all animals in the forest are so powerful. Like deer, they are very fragile. But they know how to rely on each other, being each other's eyes, eyes and horns. And you can see that for thousands of years, even if there are more Fierce beasts, those docile lives like deer have ever disappeared?" The butler smiled and said: "No matter what animals, they have their own way of survival. And the way of survival does not necessarily depend on strong force."
"In other words, there is a way to survive without strong force..." Angte smiled slightly: "Thank you, I feel better now."
"Nothing, it was my responsibility to assist you." The butler bowed.
When he was in the carriage, Edward looked at Lance on the opposite side in a happy mood.
After the day of the Scriptures, Giles, who felt that his position was threatened, began to put aside all his scruples. Using Lanza as a bridge, ask Earl Reckold for help. How could Edward, who closely monitored the situation on both sides of Ark Harbor and Dorne Mountain City, didn't notice this. Giles and Rekerd can be said to be a good match. The former has lost his reputation. In the Ark Harbor, the betrayal of the people has reached the point of difficulty. It was him who replaced Edward, and after all, he could only play the chess piece of Rekerd to hope to break through the siege.
As for the later to appease the people, or that is after the power is preserved.
For Rekerd, he coveted the wealth of Ark Harbor more than once when Auban was alive. Dorn Mountain City is a city no smaller than Ark Harbor, but due to geographical restrictions, it is inconvenient for business. Rekerd has the name of an earl, but he has no financial resources to match it. Otherwise, he would not peer into Ark Harbor by supporting Daniel.
The death of both Daniel and Auban is great news for Reckard. He can control the unicorn collar near, and infiltrate the Ark Harbor through various means. The Earl's ultimate goal is naturally to include the two territories in his own bag. By then, his wealth will increase exponentially.
Unfortunately, between the two territories, an Allen was inserted. The eyes and ears in Dorne Hill told Edward more than once how much Reckold hated and had a headache for their hard bone. It is precisely because of this that so far, Rekerd's many plans have ended in failure.
This time is no exception.
His wishful thinking did a good job, winning over Ante and seizing the opportunity to seize military power. And then back to support Giles, in this way, Earl Reckold mobilized his own power is very small, even if an accident occurs, it will only be the unicorn collar that suffers heavy losses. Lance thought the same way before yesterday, but now he is so depressed that he doesn't even have the strength to speak.
Whoever wanted it, Edward got the information in advance and made arrangements only for them to deliver it to the door. The result was that Glenn's army was completely wiped out, and even he became a captive of the opponent. Even if Rekerd finally redeemed them, Lance was ready to be a joke in Dorne Mountain City.
"Mr. Lance, I don't know how deep your relationship is with Earl Laked?" Edward smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong, I don't like to inquire, I just want to get you a worthy ransom."
Lance snorted and said: "The earl is willing to pay me at least one hundred thousand gold coins. If it is more, then I am not sure. With Glenn, I think 150,000 gold coins should be available."
Edward slapped haha, and said, "I see, Captain Glenn and the captives should be given as gifts. But for you, Mr. Lance, I think Earl Reckold should pay a ransom of one million. Fang Show sincerity."
Lance opened his mouth wide, and said for a while: "Are you crazy? The count couldn't pay so much ransom for me."
"On weekdays, maybe not. But in this situation, I think he will pay. Because if he doesn't take out the money, the people of Dorne Mountain City will know the next day and they are proud of it. How did the blood wolf knight and the gray wolf infantry break into a small country place. I think the earl can't afford to lose this person?"
Lance was silent, he knew very well the temper of his uncle. Like Edward said, Rekerd is a face-conscious person. The blood wolf knight and the gray wolf infantry are the living signs of the earl. Between smashing the sign and 1 million gold coins, Rekerd really might choose the latter.
Seeing Lance did not answer, Edward was even more certain that Rekerd would take out the money. After all, Lance knew the earl better than him. Now the earl's plan is half bankrupt, and because of the handing over of Lance, Unter has waited for them to stand on their side, and there is no room for turning. The Unicorn collar should be a gentle neighbor in the foreseeable days in the future, which is a problem for the development of Allen Territory.
In fact, according to Edward's idea, he would rather Ante not hand over Lance. Then he has enough reasons to occupy this territory, in fact, while arranging a hundred troops of Broy to go to the border post. Another army of hundreds, led by Udi, hung on the border of the Emerald Mountains. As long as Edward is willing, the Unicorn Castle will change hands within a day.
Of course, since Ante made the right choice, he was unwilling to destroy this hard-won
friendship
. As for now, Giles, who has broken his back, has time to deal with him. Edward smiled and looked out the window, thinking that the iron-backed eagle that was released in the morning should be able to bring the news here to Vera in the afternoon, right?
By then, Vera naturally knew what to do.
Willa received the news earlier than Edward expected. Before receiving the news, she had just met with one of the directors of the Jade Pearl Chamber of Commerce. Now the church has taken root in Ark Harbor, and now there are more than 10,000 believers, Father Miró has planned to add a church. At the same time, in the castle of dawn and the bauhinia collar, there are also three other churches built. The church has done a lot of civil engineering, and it has absorbed more priests, nuns, and other clergy, especially the Crusaders have recently expanded. With so many people added together, their living expenses, clothing, food, shelter, and even armor and weapons, etc. ~EbookFREE.me~ all need a lot. To this end, the church has signed a long-term contract with the Jade Chamber of Commerce. The Emerald Chamber of Commerce is responsible for the construction of the church in Ark Harbor and even in several other territories.
Of course, in order to accept such a huge, ten-year contract, the Jade Chamber of Commerce also made a big concession, and in the end only the two companies benefited. Through the development of faith, commerce, and force, the church has been inseparable from the lives of people in this territory.
Precisely because of this, the influence of the church and Vera, Miró and others is also expanding. So when the church expressed its stance on Rola's side, the effect was huge. Nowadays, except for a small number of people who still express neutrality, most people are on the side of the church. In particular, the Jade Chamber of Commerce, run by Oban painstakingly, broke completely with Giles without hesitation. Several directors of the Chamber of Commerce and the current chairman have expressed their support for Rola. Today, the situation is very unfavorable for Giles.
When a crusader swordsman delivered information from the iron-backed eagle to Vera's hands, the girl smiled sweetly. Edward has eliminated the external troubles, so next is the time to settle the internal troubles.
She looked up and said to her guard: "Go and invite Miss Ruola."
