Release that Witch Chapter 1199: Wolf Heart chaos
"This **** weather," Baron Jean Bett stood by the window, whispering into the cloudy sky, "It's going to rain again."
Deep Pond Bay near the sea is not short of rain, especially in the summer and autumn seasons, the sky and the moments later wind and rain masterpieces are also very common the previous moment, so the city has made a lot of preparations, from stone slab roads to underground drainage facilities. Unlike Broken Tooth Castle or Grey Rock City, the lowlands can be turned into puddles by the rain, which is muddy everywhere. One or two heavy rains will delay the unloading of merchant ships, with minimal impact on the city.
It's not his weather but his mood.
Unfortunately, after the shower, the clouds will dissipate, but the mood will not.
"Sir, do you think about answer them?" secretary official Zhum asked carefully.
"answer?" The baron sneered, "Hanged or burned, let you choose one, what will you do answer?"
"Uh ..." secretary official was temporarily becomes silent.
"Can't choose, right? Keep dragging."
"But ..." He opened his mouth and seemed to want to say something, but he couldn't say anything in the end.
In fact, even if he doesn't say it, Jean Bett knows that this matter is difficult to drag on like a ** born in the sky, no matter how unwilling the businessman is to see it, it will always fall.
Everything comes from that war with Church's.
After Wolf Heart Kingdom Capital was destroyed, it seemed that a large number of Wolf King illegitimate children had emerged overnight. The feudal lord gangs from all over the country joined forces to conquer each other. Most of them were orthodox. After some competition, three major forces gradually formed the Token Family of the Western north, the Redstone Gate Family occupying southern region, and the Fang Family in the eastern mountain area.
The former has not troubled Deep Pond Bay because of the long distance, but the latter two families are different. Both Duke want to pull Deep Pond Bay into their own school and further expand their strength.
In the early days of the dispute, the baron had always insisted on neutrality of the harbour, and he should not be guilty of either party. This not only restored the city's rapid prosperity, but also earned him a considerable income. In order to ensure that the goods can be exchanged for food or gold royal in a timely manner, and the surrounding area is undecided, the two Dukes did not press him too much.
With the new round of annexation and expansion, Fangya and Redstone Gate gradually stand out and become the most powerful competitors of the new Wolf King. In addition, Token Family suddenly closed the Cage Mountain main road, which made the two families coincide to set their sights on Deep Pond Bay again.
The baron can think of what idea they hit with his knees.
Swallowing the Deep Pond Bay, and by the way banning the enemy's material trade, will definitely gain a great advantage in this competition. So this time they not only sent envoy, but also dozens of Knight and hundreds of mercenaries. Their attitude is self-evident.
The harbour only has patrols to maintain order and a personal guard group that protects the safety of feudal lord. It is okay to deal with uncovered pirates, and has no self-protection ability in the face of the heavily armed Knight. Jean Bett did not intend to resist, if the three major forces have divided the victory and determined Wolf King, he would not hesitate to swear allegiance. As for whether the new Wolf King is from the blood of the old Wolf King, he doesn't care.
However, Redstone Gate and Fang are evenly matched.
Reliance becomes a dead end.
No matter which side he chooses to stand on, the other side must watch impossible lose the maritime trade, which means that food, iron and other materials can only rely on self-produced, but the other side is constantly replenished with energy, which is undoubtedly equal to victory. .
Therefore, if you take refuge, you will definitely be attacked by the other party.
Deep Pond Bay has neither an indestructible city wall nor a deep moat. If you want to resist it, you can only rely on the support of the client.
But will the two big families really support him?
The baron is afraid to gamble.
If he is Redstone Gate or Fang Duke, it is naturally conceivable. Use citizen of Deep Pond Bay to consume the power of the attacker, and then pinch the attack to reduce the casualties of the elite Knight. Even put the enemy into the city, then block the retreat, and slowly consume it ... After all, the other party wanted Deep Pond Bay, not the people here.
In other words, Deep Pond Bay would be better without Jean Bett.
As said before, this is a question of choosing to be hanged or burned.
Putting two envoy groups in a camp is to use their mutual hostility to delay time. It would be better if they could fight. He also provided spirits and women three and five times, and deliberately let them choose together. Unfortunately, even if these people were fighting with red ears, they never drew their swords.
"Tick, tick ..."
The rain finally fell, and the governor's garden became hazy, as if covered with a layer of tulle.
Staring at the petals swaying gently in the rain, the baron kept silent, so waiting was not the solution, but he couldn't think of a way to stay neutral. Grandfather often said that noble often fluctuates between gains and losses of power. As long as you make good use of this, you can get things going. Maybe he should calm down, give up those tricks, and think about how to get out of trouble from a strategic level.
Just then, a rush of footsteps interrupted his meditation.
"Master, lord, it's not good!"
"What are you talking about?" Jean Bett glanced unhappyly. "What the **** is wrong?" Is it possible Knight finally hit? If so, that's great news! He stared at the guard's mouth, hoping to see the words "camp" or "Knight" in the other's mouth.
"The fleet of Greycastle and King of Greycastle occupied the harbor!" However, the words of the guard completely exceeded his imagination, which made him unable to react for a while. "More than that, they also blocked the dock area and forbid anyone to approach! "
"What did you say? Gray ... fort?" the baron repeated subconsciously, "do they want to buy or sell? Wait ... did you just say blockade?"
"That's true!" the guard eagerly said, "they drove away the ships that had been parked by the trestle bridge, and only allowed their own ships to dock. They also said that this was a temporary expropriation and order would soon be restored. Patrol Wanted to stop them, but were disarmed in the blink of an eye! It is reported that there are hundreds of Greycastle ships outside the port!
Jean Bett felt a little unbelievable, "Are you sure it is a King of Greycastle fleet? Not a family emblem of a feudal lord?"
"Yes, I've seen it with my own sight," the guard nodded hard, "It's really the high tower long gun flag of the Greycastle royal family."
gods is above. Is it possible Greycastle intends to invade Wolf Heart?
Why does Wimbledon leave his rich neighbors around and come around to trouble him?
Even if King of Greycastle wants to expand its territory, there is no need to launch an attack from the sea? Token Family can really resist defeating the Church's Greycastle army?
No, this doesn't make sense at all ...
For a moment, the baron only felt that chaos was numb in his head, and he couldn't figure out anything.
Until secretary official Zum came to him and bowed his head and whispered a few words.
The Baron's eyes flashed!
Yes, this may be the opportunity he has been waiting for!
The power of Greycastle's is beyond doubt, enough to break the deadlock between the two powers. Suppose that this fleet really came for the expansion of King of Greycastle. At the beginning of this strange place, even the strongest one would need the help of the local noble. With a little guidance, maybe it can achieve the effect of driving away the wolf. Anyway, who is not loyal to allegiance, if you show your goodness to King of Greycastle, maybe you can still have greater power, and you may be a party to defend!
Even if Wimbledon fails, you will not lose anything.
At this moment, another guard ran come in. "Sir, the Greycastle fleet sent envoy, and said it came with Roland Wimbledon Your Majesty's decree. I hope to talk to you in detail."
Jean Bett and secretary official look at each other, then nodded, "As far as the guests, tell envoy, I can see them at any time."
