Power and Empire Chapter 1625: Black and White Kill (2)

The county guard Danis’ face was a little ugly, his eyes flickered on the silver cavalry, he was different from the two ministers from the capital who were not very clear about the situation.

Lengwei County is close to the coast, so I know more than others,

For example, the real combat strength of the Dunkirk silver cavalry must be lightly armored. They are the best assault cavalry in the coastal area. The javelin behind them can pierce most of the heavy armor. The defense of the troops, and this is this time. Except for the light cavalry in the front, the hundreds of cavalry behind, although they are equipped with silver javelins that mark xìng, are still heavily armored.

This is a place that makes people feel uneasy. In the northwest coast area, there are not many troops wearing heavy armor. It is said that on the opposite northwest coast, the entire northwest feels trembling and does not dare to speak loudly. Under the command of the Falcon King, there is a heavy armored cavalry named after the guards, a black armor that is like a demon god, and it is also a force full of killings.

‘This is close to the northwest coast. Will these cavalrymen be? . . . . . ‘

I don’t know why, this weird idea came out, and even he himself felt silly and ridiculous. He was really sensitive enough. These knights who followed the Duke of Dunkirk were dressed in formal combat. Equipped, but wearing an elegant cloak decorated with xìng, the thick battle robe looks ugly, but it also looks more mighty,

For the sake of the knight’s face, allowing the knight to be accompanied by such a gorgeous heavy armor is not uncommon in the northwest, let alone being an entourage of a duke,

After all, compared to the light armor with only one breastplate, the heavy armor wrapped around the whole body is much more beautiful, and it can also show the brilliant achievements of the knights under his command. And he also thinks that the barren Lengwei County has the qualifications to make the Northwest Coast worry about it? No, Danis himself thought this might be too ridiculous.

He saw the Foreign Secretary Sidney, who was standing next to the Secretary of the Interior Angelio, whispering something, and the Secretary of the Interior was calm.

‘It seems that Lord Duke is also very nervous about the arrival of the Duke of Dunkirk! ‘

Danis feels that he can hear such a voice clearly, everything is so lively and friendly, but it always makes people feel creepy,

Why? As soon as he thought of this, Danis’ eyebrows were more and more twisted together. A minister of the interior and a minister of foreign affairs, what they can talk about in secret, is bound to not be the little horns like themselves, or this Dunke The reason why the Duke of Seoul entered the country from the northwest coast

He saw Angelio and Sidney, the Secretary of the Interior, approach the carriage ahead. The carriage stopped ten meters in front of the two of them. A middle-aged man with a serious face came out of the carriage, with chestnut hair and a luxurious gold-rimmed dress. Dare to face the extravagance,

‘My lord Duke, I’m Anjelio, Minister of the Interior of Ruosende! This is Deputy Foreign Affairs Officer Sidney, on behalf of our Lord Duke, we once again welcome Your Excellency, ‘Angelio performed fairly well under the public’s attention,

The Duke of Dunkirk on the opposite side nodded and said, ‘It’s been a long time. Angelio, I remember that the last time I saw you was at the Northwest Conference two years ago. That time, Lord Angelio was still an attendant of the old duke. I didn't expect it to be only two years. Master Angelio is already in such a high position! ‘

Following this unclear sentence of satire or praise came out, Danis saw that the Secretary of the Interior's face turned green, and his body trembled slightly.

But calm soon returned. And Sidney next to him looked stern,

‘This villain who betrayed his master and begged for glory also has today! ‘Danis was shocked when he heard a low voice from the local officials behind him.

He heard that this slightly rural voice was his finance officer Laktor, a stubborn old guy with white hair that was very conspicuous in the officials behind him,

It is said that 30 years ago, Rakedo was one of the servants of the old duchess. He was sentenced to serve as a small financial officer because he offended the duchess at the time.

‘Don’t talk nonsense! It will cause trouble! ‘

‘Am I wrong? I really don’t understand how the New Duke would trust such a person! ‘Danis turned his head and stared fiercely before stopping the argument,

‘My Lord Duke, we have arranged the reception along the way. . Today we will rest in the front county of Cromdor. . . ‘

At this time, he heard the Duke of Dunkirk coldly saying, ‘Don’t be polite, I’m not here this time to look at a villain’s face’

The Duke of Dunkirk, who showed his face outside for less than a minute, walked into the carriage with no face, ‘I’m resting here tonight, and I will continue on the road tomorrow! I'm already tired from such a long road. Why do I have to go to the next county to rest? I don't know what to say. As for the welcome along the way, it's not bad. It would be nice not to disturb! ‘

The awkward dialogue made the atmosphere on the scene suddenly tense. The Minister of the Interior's face has completely turned into ashes, while the face of the Foreign Minister Sidney is unusually calm.

‘These two adults seem to have no understanding! ‘

All the officials who greeted us clearly felt this. The military music stopped at Danis's orders, and the gongs and drums were not beaten.

The maid who threw flowers had already been chased away by the knights. The horseshoe stepped on the red carpet and made dull noises. The street was quiet and no one spoke, as if the whole city felt this. In the dull atmosphere, the horse team went straight through the central square of the city.

The recruitment notices posted all over the street seem to attract the attention of a person in the carriage

‘Look at the recruitment announcements all over the city! It is conceivable that as long as we catch us all in one go, it is not impossible to cooperate with the troops mobilized by the whole country in Rusend, cooperate with the 180,000 army of Kyoto, and sweep the entire northwest in one fell swoop, and avoid future problems forever! ‘

The fat man is dressed in casual clothes, the sun outside shines on him through the curtains, sitting opposite the Duke of Dunkirk, his eyes sweeping across the streets and buildings passing by,

Crossing the long street for several miles, the originally luxuriously decorated and lively central square is now deserted and deserted.

The nobles and their families who attended to greet the nobles and their families have long been notified that the welcome party has been cancelled, and the entire square is empty. Only the dazzling and gorgeous silk ribbons on the welcome stage that have just been tied are all alone. over there.

‘That’s how your Majesty Falcon believes that this new duke of Russend is from Kyoto? ‘The Duke of Dunkirk sits opposite. The tone is a little uncertain,

Although he is middle-aged, his appearance can still be regarded as a magnificent appearance that a lot of young women can be excited about, he belongs to the kind of aristocratic kind that looks very literary at first,

Compared with the matte finish of the fat man, the Duke of Dunkirk is obviously more convincing,

‘I know that too many explanations are meaningless. Lord Duke will not believe it until I see the real evidence, so I can only say. When you arrive at the capital of Ruosen, everything will be clear! "The fat man made a mysterious smile" but I still have to thank Lord Duke for his help.

He entered the country secretly this time. Among the hundred cavalry accompanying him, three-quarters were guard cavalry. Although they were dressed as Dunkirk silver cavalry, they were actually equipped with three more javelins. To deal with the Khergit cavalry and the Swadian knights, the guard cavalry has a javelin in the configuration,

But as the body size gets smaller. Practical large quantities of equipment for larger assault crossbows, the javelin is replaced by the assault crossbow,

Surrounded by these counterfeit silver knights, the carriage slowly entered the county guard mansion. Because there was no prior arrangement, the entire county government was completely messed up. Although Danis had been better in the past two months, it was still a local county government. It's far from the qualifications to entertain a duke,

Danis was comforted by the Duke of Dunkirk who had just neglected the Secretary of the Interior. It seems that the requirements in this respect are not high, just let the entourage clean up and move in safely, leaving behind the Minister of Internal Affairs who was depressed and had to smile to accompany him,

‘My lord, look. . . . . . ‘Danis looked at the Minister of the Interior with a look of embarrassment

‘Arrange a room just outside the main hall! I'm here tonight.' Angelio turned his face, and the second officer Sidney, who didn't want to catch the cold with Angelio, rode the county government servants while they were busy, and came to the second with Danis. In the small living room on the first floor.

As soon as he entered the room, Danis was about to say a few compliments and patted the foreign minister's ass. Unexpectedly, Sidney first took out a letter in his arms and handed it to Danis. He only listened to his stern look.

'Danis County Guard, this is the order of the Lord Duke. Starting today, Lengwei County has entered a state of high combat readiness, and the materials hoarded in Lengwei County must be immediately taken to the capital. That’s it. Time is near, execute the order! ‘

Danis looked at the Duke’s command book in his hand, completely stupid, ready for combat! My God, what is the state of readiness? The entire Lengwei County only had a garrison of 1,500, and even if the newly recruited recruits were added, the number was only 2,500!

Even so, Lord Duke has to take away all the supplies in the county! Isn't this driving Lengwei County into a desperate situation? If it was before, it would be fine, but now the Chamber of Commerce in Lengwei County has almost half of the resources. If these merchants become riotous, the entire Lengwei County will collapse!

‘What’s the matter? Want to disobey? 'Sidney's face is indifferent, with a cold glance.' I heard that your Lengwei County has been mingling with lowly merchants in the past two months. Lord Duke is very upset about this. Lengwei County is the Duke's Lengwei County. , It’s not the merchant’s!'

Danis was sweaty and quickly explained, "No, adults, don’t get me wrong, it’s just a rumor spread by people who want to slander me, but under the current situation, I have to give the businessmen a little bit of benefit. .

‘However, you can rest assured that after the Duke of Dunkirk leaves, Humble Duty will immediately disband the chamber of commerce. Humble Duty can definitely control the situation. ‘

Listening to Dani’s explanation, Sidney snorted coldly, "You are still a bit loyal. You also know that some local county guards have made irregular actions recently. I hope you don’t participate in it. If you want to stay longer in this county guard position, you will definitely get rid of the business people. Although the gold coins are cute, they have to be enjoyed by life.'

Otherwise, the little Lengwei County would not be able to withstand a finger of Lord Duke

When it came to the last sentence, Sidney's tone was extremely cold. Danis felt a strong chill from inside. He did hear some wind. Someone in the local county guard questioned the inheritance of the new duke. Legal, secretly plotting to overthrow the rule of the new duke

‘Of course, humble duty understands! ‘

Danis nodded and bowed, and when the foreign secretary left, he felt that his clothes were soaked. Being blown by the wind, it was bitterly cold, and I could feel that a huge storm was gathering in the sky above Ruosende. Just waiting for a thunderbolt and roar, the storm was bound to fall.

In a corner of the somewhat deserted building complex of the county guard house, in a luxuriously decorated room, Angelio is resting, and the dining table in front of him is full of various delicacies. It was the remaining materials that were not available at the welcome party because the welcome party was not successfully held.

Sidney pushed in from outside. Then close it carefully

‘How did the Danes County guard react to the letter of order signed with the duke’s seal? ‘Angelio looked over with sharp eyes, in contrast to the **** who had just been defeated,

‘I’m very hesitant, I vowed in front of me that as soon as the Duke of Dunkirk leaves, he will immediately draw a line with the Chamber of Commerce’

Sidney sat down at the table, gobbled a piece of three-meat steak into his mouth, and said vaguely, ‘but I can see that there is only anger and hesitation in his eyes. Obviously, I am very dissatisfied with this order book! ‘

‘That’s enough. I believe that at this moment, the position of the Danes County guard has lingered between Ruosend and the northwest coast! ‘

Angelio stood up calmly. When I came to the window of the room, this was a small courtyard of dúlì. The two guard knights sent by Duke Locke to monitor all lived outside the courtyard. The previous performance with the Duke of Dunkirk obviously made the two guard knights relax their vigilance,

Angelo smiled unconsciously. Others think of myself as a beautiful scenery. In fact, whether it is in the local county guard or Duke Locke, I am an unreliable object. If it is not because I am very familiar with Rusend’s internal affairs, I need to come by myself. Responsible for the collection of local materials to the capital, the vicious guy Locke had already killed himself.

Actually, Angelio knew very well the intentions of the new duke, let himself, a man with a bad reputation, come forward to be a villain, and weaken the strength of the local county guard to the greatest extent, and then the Duke of Locke will remove himself with one hand, and the effect will be immediate. , One of his own heads is enough to earn everything back, so that not only can he quickly gain a good reputation in a short time, make the local county guard grateful to him, but also make him a duke who is a bit dissatisfied. Bit, suddenly became popular,

"The time should be the time when I returned to the capital. If not, the complaints of the local county guards would make the princes from all over the world who came to participate in the alliance feel unstable internally. This is not what the Northwest leader should have. "The Demeanor" Angelio said inwardly

‘Will there be a problem with the revised order form? ‘Sidney put down the wine glass in his hand and wiped the corner of his mouth with his cuff.’ After all, the seal on it is a fake from us. Once someone familiar with it sees it, all our plans will be finished! ‘

‘Don’t worry, I have been with the Duke for six years, and I can imitate what is familiar with the Duke’s seal even if I close my eyes! ‘

Angelio stood at the window, looking at the beautiful summer scenery outside the window, rubbing his chin, and said grimly, "Opened Lengwei County, then Cromdor County, and finally Oliver Marquis collar. The passage from the northwest coast to the capital of Ruosend"

"Cromdor’s county guard, Kryen, is a very selfish and stingy person. When he receives such an order that is similar to plunder, he will definitely turn his face with the capital. The last problem is your uncle, who is responsible for guarding the gate of the capital. Lord Oliver, he is a very intelligent figure. Even though he was puzzled about the new duke’s accession to the throne at the beginning, but when the overall situation had been set, Kye quickly remained silent. He had a defense team of 10,000 in his hand. Is a critical moment, a character who can control the whole situation"

"That coward, I don’t want to talk about him again! If he had been brave in the first place, my wife’s father wouldn’t be..." When it comes to the Marquis of Oliver, Sidney’s face immediately After a chill, he angrily put the wine glass in his hand on the table, obviously a little drunk, angrily. "Speaking of which, it really makes the heart cold. At the beginning, the Duke valued him so much and gave him the responsibility of guarding the gate of the capital. At all times, he cut off the interference from Kyoto with a sharp sword, but when it was really necessary, he flinched! This cowardly behavior is really shameful"

In the hall of the county residence ~IndoMTL.com~, there were bursts of laughter, loud noises, music, laughter, and clashing wine glasses, although the Duke of Dunkirk stated that he did not need to welcome the dinner. But it’s a shame that the food prepared long ago was wasted like this. The nobles are used to the fun-seeking, completely ignoring the tension and mystery of the situation. The cars drove into the county mansion, but they kept their curtains down. Luxury aristocratic carriage,

It can be seen that this party will only last until midnight. Perhaps in the dead of night, those carriages will carry their weary masters back.

The more and more the carriages gather, the loud noises in the living room are getting louder and louder. In the living room, the nobles are enjoying the delicious food happily. They gather in a pile, playing the piano, singing, and singing. Something to play around,

Only the Danes County guard holding a glass of wine, standing sadly at the window, watching the rapidly increasing carriage outside

"Does this prosperity really end like this? I have to go back to the boring and boring time? "Danis is a little dazed and unwilling,

At this time, a middle-aged man in a tuxedo walked to him and stopped beside him. "Dear Master County, have you encountered any problems? If you are willing to say it, there may be a good solution. Way!'
