Chapter 584
"You want me to give Nielton... to that little girl?"
With incredible eyes, Governor Gaspar is almost gnashing teeth Said this sentence.
"For the current situation, this is already the best choice." Roger Yod's eyes were calm, and he slowly turned to face Governor Byrne:
"Admit it, Gaspar... We have already lost this game, but we still have a chance to save the situation. It is not time to have to tear our face and go head-to-head with the Torino family."
" Right now we still have the name of ruling Byrn Duchy, and we also control all the minerals and strategic resources within Duchy. The advantage and initiative are still on our side, so we don’t have to worry about such a failure!"
"Nilton...I pulled him up with one hand, and I told him to do everything he did. The whole governor's house...No, everyone in Duchy knows that he is mine!"
"Isn't it better?"
Roger Yod, chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, pressed the corner of his mouth tightly, and stared at Gaspar:" It is precisely because he is your cronies-in the face of the mistakes made by cronies, you can also do not favoritism, never let a villain, nor let an innocent person die in vain... In Byrne, there is nothing better than this. The means to win the hearts and minds of the people!"
"As for the mistakes he made, you, as the boss, of course did not know-you are Governor Byrne, with a busy schedule. Impossible In the blood castle, negligence is inevitable; it gave the cronies around you the opportunity to use the convenience of power to seek personal gain for yourself and do things that harm your reputation!"
" As Governor Byrne, you can’t protect even the cronies around you. Who else is willing to work for me?!"
"As long as you are Governor Byrne and control a Duchy military power, you are willing to be you There are many running dogs!"
Roger Jade's eyes are burning, his expression is slightly agitated: "Even if everyone betrays you, Jade Chamber of Commerce...Old Luo Jie will still stand by you. Behind you, any count that opposes you will be cut off by me, let their wine rot in the cellar, and let him buy a nail and a needle!"
"But if you Having lost the title of Governor Byrne, it’s not just you... even our York Chamber of Commerce will be implicated." Old Luo Jie continued his words, sighing opened the mouth and said:
"South …Led by Bocival count in Fort Kiel, they have long been full of resentment over the control of the mines in their territory by the Chamber of Commerce;"
"To the east...Grenville count in Fort Storm , I have always hated our monopoly on wine and salt, and tried every means to cooperate with the Chamber of Sackland. of Commerce collusion inside and out;"
"West...The Vicky count of the Immortal Castle still has a grudge against the control of the border bazaar of Bayne and the Duchy of Arles by the Chamber of Commerce;"
"As for the Torino family...not to mention that your governor's mansion is here, the entire Byrne mithril trade, as well as war horses, armor, weapons, wine..."
"What are you trying to say? ! "
"What I want to say is, you don’t have to worry about the loyalty of the Chamber of Commerce...Even if you lose Nielton and Old Luo is here, Byrne is still in your pocket. . "
Roger Yod’s voice is low, and he tells what Gaspar really fears:
"Even if I die, the next president and the patriarch of the Yod family You must also unconditionally support you-otherwise the Byrne counts who hate us will kill the entire Chamber of Commerce alive! "
For a while, Gaspar's expression was extremely shocked... The relationship between the two parties is very good, even beyond the level of ordinary allies, but...
For the leaders of the Chamber of Commerce, saying this is tantamount to swearing allegiance to himself!
"Bang--! "
The closed door was suddenly opened, and the guard standing outside the door came in, with a very hesitant expression, trembling with fear, as if not knowing how to open it.
Gaspar frowned slightly: "What's the matter? "
"The governor, outside the governor's mansion..." The guards were sweaty on their faces, and were so nervous that they couldn't even speak clearly: "Just outside the gate...someone is there...crowds to demonstrate." "
In an instant, the atmosphere in the entire Conference Hall was stagnant.
"What did you say--? ! ! ! "
"Really, what I said is true! "The frightened guard collapsed directly to the ground, his eyes horrified to the extreme: "Almost half of the nobles and wealthy merchants in the city are here, as well as representatives of the church and the wizard tower... They are all crowded outside the gate. You hand over Lord Neilton to the public trial of the Scarlet Blood Castle count! "
The air seems to have solidified into substance.
Roger Yod, who silently picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and his calm eyes turned to a face turned pale in fright. Spar...The desperate Governor Byrne didn't expect the situation to deteriorate so quickly.
What should I do...self, what should I do?!
"Go... just say it's my order. Gaspar's head drooped, making it difficult to see his expression: "Let Nielton... come to the Conference Hall immediately!" "
…………………………………………
" Governor Gaspar wants to negotiate a peace. "
In the hall of the Scarlet Blood Castle Palace, Loren slightly raised the corners of his mouth with his hands behind him, looked towards the cold-faced female count beside him, with a somewhat helpless expression.
For this With a proud face and a black hair wizard with an expression of "all in my plan", Charlotte certainly wouldn't give him a good face.
"It is true, just as Viscount Loren expected. . "Steward, who was standing on the side, realized that the atmosphere was a little subtle, so he hurried forward and opened the mouth and said with a smile:
"The people in the Governor's House just now sent the Neilton Warlord. He also dismissed all his positions and titles, and at the same time dismissed all the city defense officers and cronies he had recruited. Being able to do this step should prove Gaspar's sincerity for peace talks. "
"What peace talks are clearly shirking responsibility!" "The female count is tenderly snorted, with a trace of contempt in her eyes:
"When I see that I can't win, I will throw my subordinates to bear the blame, and bear the blame for my failure-whether as a person or worship Well Governor, Gaspar is extremely shameless, doesn't he even have a little self-esteem? ! "
"Since I lost, I was dignified and I am now standing up and admitting... and using the excuse of'unknowing' this kind of nonsense, really... as an opponent, I am ashamed of him! "
Seeing the female count's almost unreasonable irritation, the red blood castle steward and black hair wizard looking at each other in blank dismay can only look at each other with a wry smile, helplessly shook the head.
"Then next, do you want to accept the other party's request for peace talks? "
sighed, Charles smiled and looked towards the black hair wizard on the side, changing the subject by the way.
"Of course, not only must accept the sincerity of the other party, but also make them feel Our sincerity will do. "
"You mean..."
"Return the beast's head to him. The black hair wizard suddenly curled his mouth and smiled treacherously: "For example...Hang a flagpole in the center of the square in Scarlet Blood Castle... What do you think? "
"You are not going to negotiate, but to provoke him? "The female count coldly said.
"If you can't make your opponent feel threatened, why should you negotiate? Loren asked with a smile, "At the moment we don't have the strength to compete directly with Governor Byrne, so we can only use this method to frighten each other!" "
"But...this is only temporary. "
"Temporary? "Charlotte and Charles are almost in unison.
"Think about it carefully, in addition to the title appointed by the Empire, the governor from Imperial Capital West Sacrament...what exactly did he get? Overtake all Knight Lords today? "Loren asked rhetorically, and then gave the answer without waiting for Charlotte to speak:
"Very simple, Jord Chamber of Commerce. "
"The control of trade routes, the opening of markets, the monopoly of luxury goods and necessities, large and small mines... With the help of the authority of the Governor-General of Byrne, the Chamber of Commerce Well, and even the entire South is rich as an enemy country! "
" And with the help of the wealth of the Chamber of Commerce and the control of various materials, Governor Byrne can secure his position—they are in a mutually assisting relationship, and neither of them is right. They are indispensable for each other; without considering external factors, if you want to defeat Governor Byrne, you must first kill the Chamber of Commerce! "
Loren turned around, his expression more solemn than ever: "So, I have a very bold idea..."
