Chapter 67: Meeting
The next day's capital city was really undercurrent, and many people were extremely shocked when they learned about the events in the Marquis Ecke family.
The Ike family is one of the most prestigious families in the kingdom, and they never thought that the mansion would be swept away by the wind watchers overnight.
Of course, this does not mean that the Ike family is over, because the Ike family is also a field marquis, with a medium-sized city and two small towns as fiefdoms. The city mansion in this royal capital is just a symbol of the Ike family. Just a place of influence in the kingdom.
What really needs to be cleaned is the city, the town and the family castle in between. Of course, that's not what the wind watchers should worry about. The current wind watchers are just banning the entire royal capital to prevent news from leaking.
Of course, the news could not be leaked out, but many citizens in the city had already turned a blind eye to this half-truth news.
For example, in the corner of the tavern where Leo was at this time, he heard two adventurers talking there.
"I heard no, the Ike family's mansion was directly confiscated last night. The wind patrol and the city guards were jointly dispatched. It is said that the Ike family did not leave a living person." An adventurer in a wine red shirt is mysterious. Xi said.
…
Sure enough, there were already a lot of black lines on Leo's forehead, and with a touch of weakness, he looked at Bella beside him, "Is their news so inaccurate?"
"My lord, how could the adventurers in these taverns get any accurate news? Of course, which one is the best," Bella said calmly, as if she had become accustomed to it. Outrageous."
"How is it possible that Marquis Ike is also a famous figure in the kingdom anyway, so he won't be wiped out in one night." Fortunately, some adventurers seemed to maintain the IQ of normal people and retorted.
Hearing this, Leo's eyes lit up slightly, looked at the adventurer with a little approval, and nodded secretly, yes, there are still people who keep their heads clear, thinking like this, Leo also once again He concentrated his attention and listened to the adventurer say again, "I heard that it was the kingdom's new patroller who started it. It is said that he and Marquis Ike had a crush on a very beautiful woman at the same time, and then they were jealous. suffered a loss.
Then he took the wind patrol to attack Marquis Ike directly. It shouldn't be a matter of raiding the house. Maybe he went to the door. It's a big thing, and it's so scary that you spread it. "
pfft...
Bella on the side coughed lightly and forcibly held back her smile. Leo's speechlessness became more and more obvious. He poured a glass of ale into his mouth fiercely, and then whispered, "Let's go."
"Sir, we have already searched for evidence for our behavior this time, and there is indeed a problem with Marquis Ike's mansion. In any case, we are doing things according to the rules, and there is no problem at all. You absolutely don't have to worry, my lord." Bella on the side also said.
"Well, it's alright," Leo nodded, knowing what Bella was worried about. The movement last night was too great. Marquis Ike's mansion directly resisted. Contrary to his previous expectations, Marquis Ike's forcible charge and the absolute formidable strength of the opponent were beyond Leo's expectations.
This time, many officials obviously have opinions in their hearts. The meaning of so many lords, nobles and officials naturally needs an explanation. This time the dynasty meeting, I am afraid that there are many big bosses who are not good.
Of course, Leo has never been so terrified. Just as Bella said, the evidence they had obtained before was enough to search the mansion of Marquis Ike, and the next thing was even more logical. He was full of confidence and seemed to have thought of it. What, Leo said again, "Our evidence has been filed, and there is nothing to worry about.
I guess that His Majesty the King held a dynasty meeting this time, more for the change of the Ravenland Kingdom in the north, and it has little to do with the affairs of the Marquis of Ike. "
"I hope so," Bella also sighed slightly and nodded.
"Hurry up and count the proceeds from the inspection of Marquis Ike's mansion. You supervise it yourself, and remember not to make any omissions," Leo said again, seemingly thinking of something.
"Don't worry, my lord, there will never be any problems," Bella also seemed very reassuring. Compared with Brown, he was a little more calm and calm, with a calmer and more meticulous temperament.
…
"Sure enough, Marquis Ike didn't come!"
"The rumor is true, could it be that the dignified Marquis Ike was really taken over by the newly appointed patroller? This is too crazy, even if the patroller monitors the kingdom, but what does Marquis Ike say? He is also a real Marquis, and he is also a wind patrol too arrogant." The dignified and imposing kingdom boss looked rather indignant.
However, several bigwigs in the rule of law department laughed without saying a word. They naturally knew all that. Marquis Ike was inseparable from the serious case of Wangdu three days ago, and at this time there was not much sense of righteous indignation.
At this time, the figure of King Ulric, who was dressed in full costume and wearing the crown of the lion, appeared here, and many high-ranking officials of the kingdom who were chatting with each other indignantly stopped talking and bowed and saluted.
"Everyone," King Ulric said, and all the nobles all focused their attention, "I have received shocking news, just yesterday, Alma of Ravenland Kingdom The Duke of Germany is already gathering a large army, bringing together the two castles of Oldenburg and the Dark Falcon, and the lords of fifteen small towns, heading south to the Ice Rain River and coming to the northern border of our kingdom."
what!
Suddenly a sound of astonishment sounded in this huge palace, and many great nobles changed their colors. Compared with the suffering of Marquis Ike, which they cared about before, the large-scale invasion of Ravenland Kingdom is obviously more worthy of them. Heart!
"Your Majesty, this is obviously Aldema coveting our country of the Lion Realm. He is so arrogant, we can't get used to him!" said a burly man with an old face, with great anger mixed in his voice, obviously Very angry about this behavior of Ravenland Kingdom.
This is Duke Alfwan. His Lion Lake City is the closest giant city to the Ravenland Kingdom. The relationship with the Ravenland Kingdom has never been very harmonious.
"Your Majesty, this is Aldma's initiative to provoke. He has already started to mobilize the army. What we need to do now is to immediately start to mobilize our soldiers to prepare for the threat from the Ravenland Kingdom. "Another high-ranking official of the kingdom said, obviously, no one thought that the Ravenland Kingdom would have much goodwill towards the king.
"Well," King Ulric nodded lightly, then seemed to think of something, and glanced at everyone, "I think you are all wondering what happened last night, I will tell you personally.
Marquis Ike collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, seduced with the Griffon Knights, and was involved in a serious case in the capital. When the wind patrol went to search last night, Marquis Ike voluntarily admitted it and tried to resist, rushing out of the Lion City.
Fortunately, the patroller's plan was well-planned, which made Marquis Ike's tricks fail, and he also achieved quite a lot of results. Well, Count Leo, please tell everyone personally. "
The eyes of many nobles converged on Leo, who was walking slowly at this time, and his heart was also shocked. Marquis Ike really caused a lot of trouble, and it was all like that. I think King Ulric was right. , Unexpectedly, this country nobleman's means are very sharp.
As Leo briefly narrated what happened, many nobles also changed from listening to asking a question or two from time to time. Obviously, Leo had done enough homework in advance, and the answer should be called a question. The answers are fluent, of course, those who dare to ask questions are naturally the great nobles.
Gradually, everyone looked at Leo's ominous description, and nodded secretly at the same time with a little more fear in their hearts. This new patrolman seems to be quite shrewd and doesn't seem to be easy to get along with.
Then, when Leo revealed one of the results of the battle, Umr, the deputy leader of the Griffin Knights, all the upper-level nobles present couldn't help being shocked!
