Nowadays, most Western aristocrats live a life of dissoluteness. For example, the Frankish royal family and aristocrats. In their residences, women sometimes don't even wear clothes. Apart from being a little envious, Senna was not surprised. Larenque motioned to Senna to sit down.
Next, he smiled slowly and said, "Did Mr. Rufford agree to the conditions discussed earlier?"
"My Lord Earl, Sir Rufford can basically agree to those conditions, except for one, Merlin Avenue and Miss Marina cannot give it to you." Senna had already asked Rufford for permission, and Rufford thought for a long time before giving it.
The answer is, you can’t give up Merlin Avenue and Marina. This is the bottom line of the Luke family. How much tax revenue does Merlin Avenue generate in a year? Fools all know that this is the hen that lays golden eggs. How can it be given to Larenque?
? Marina can't give it to Larenque. Even if the Wei Ting family is finally defeated, it will be a defeat, not a true annihilation.
The Weiting family has ruled the Red Grape nobles for hundreds of years and has a huge power. Not only in Merlin City, but also in Tulin, Hohenzollern and other places, there are many Weiting family forces. Therefore, even if the core power of the Weiting family in Merlin is defeated, they will still
To keep Marina. It can be said that whoever marries Marina can make the Weiting family forces outside Merlin City loyal. This is a good opportunity to expand the family's power. Who should Marina marry, Raffo
De has already thought about it. If there is a chance, it must be a direct descendant of the Luke family. As for Larenque, this kid is completely crazy and wants to marry Marina. Senna is resolute, and Larenque looks unhappy.
He twitched the corner of his mouth and touched the woman next to him with his right hand.
In fact, Larenque is not hopelessly stupid. He also knows that asking for Merlin Avenue and Marina is tantamount to pulling out a tooth from a tiger's mouth. Proposing these two items is just to increase the bargaining chips.
"Since Mr. Rufford doesn't agree, I can't force it, but the taxes on the estuary wharf must go to the Lukes family." Larenque put forward another condition at the right time. Compared with Merlin Avenue and Marina, this one
The conditions were easier for people to accept. Senna kept smiling bitterly in his heart. Larenque, this slut, is really a little clever sometimes. The interests of the bayou dock must be given away, otherwise Larenque will have to turn his back because he has been rejected continuously and lost.
To save face. He frowned and thought for a while, but finally Senna pursed his lips and nodded, "Okay, the estuary pier can be given to the earl. In addition, Lord Rufford has also prepared twenty Salas for the earl."
Beauty."
Salas refers to the residents of the east coast of the Baltic Sea, also known as the Amber ethnic group. The local Kroni, Ratkallian, Seronia and other ethnic groups are rich in beauties. Even in later generations, Latvia and the Amber ethnic group inherited
Estonia is still famous for being rich in beauties. After the Church Corps defeated the Polish dynasty, the Church Crusaders entered the east coast of the Baltic Sea. From that time on, the Germanic nobles had a proud tradition of keeping Salas beauties in captivity.
Chacha Larenque is also a lustful person, and the twenty Salas beauties are really to his liking. Larenque doesn't care whether the twenty Salas beauties were sent by Rufford, but he
Looking at Senna, it becomes more and more pleasing to the eye. This Senna is really good at getting things done.
Larenque negotiated secretly with Senna, and in the Varro Manor, Hornan was not idle either. On the one hand, he strengthened the surveillance of the Lux family, and on the other hand, he convened the nobles of Southern Lorraine to discuss countermeasures. Under close surveillance, after all, it was still
After discovering the affair between Larenque and Senna, the news spread to Varro Manor. The nobles of South Lorraine all blushed with anger, and some even yelled, "This Larenque is really a son of a bitch."
, if he lets go of the south city gate, we will all be in trouble."
Although Hornan was mentally prepared, he still couldn't accept it after receiving the exact news. The Lukes family was a long-established Southern Lorraine noble, and they would do such a thing that was harmful to others and not self-interested. The Lukes family was at a loss.
A family head like Larenque has come to an end. Does Larenque, a fool, really think that after helping the Luke family, he will fulfill his promise?
After the Southern Lorraine nobles are defeated, the Lukes family and those emerging forces will greatly increase their strength. Will they still take the Lukes family seriously? Without the threat, the Lukes family is nothing.
, even if you promised all kinds of benefits at that time, what could you do if people just didn't fulfill them? Hornan didn't even think about trying to reason with Larenque. If this guy could understand the reason, he wouldn't do such a thing.
Coming.
It can be said that from this moment on, the Lukes family has been brought to a dead end by Larenque. The Lukes family will not really regard the Lukes family as an ally, and the nobles of South Lorraine also regard the Lukes family as their allies.
Traitor, no matter who wins Merlin City in the end, the Lukes family will definitely be in misfortune. An old nobleman from South Lorraine said angrily, trembling, "Your Majesty, this bitch Larenc will die sooner or later, but not yet."
When you break up.
In any case, we can't let him fall to Rufford now. I suggest sending someone to Valerre Manor to negotiate. We will promise double the price for whatever benefits the Luke family promises. This fool wants to use the South City Gate.
It’s a game, but I don’t know if I can swallow the gold brick.”
Facing a traitor like Larenque, the nobles of South Lorraine are united and share the same hatred. The previous generation of the Lux family head was also a highly respected person, but his successor turned out to be this bad guy. Hornan had no better way.
Although he wanted to kill Larenque immediately, he still had to rely on him for now. What was surprising was that while there were a lot of discussions and excitement in the hall, Wolkan, as the representative of the Eastern Empire, was unusually quiet and did not say a word.
Huo Nan hesitated for a moment, and finally looked at Wolkan and asked in a low voice, "Lord Luo Weide, what do you think?"
Volkan looked like he was closing his eyes to rest, but in fact he had been thinking about the Lukes family. When Hornan asked, he nodded lightly, "Your Majesty, I don't recommend going to Laren.
Ke, this Larenque is just a little smart. He is like a stupid pig when it comes to making big decisions. His close contact with the Luke family already shows that this person is hopeless.
Let me ask, how much benefit can we give him? No matter how many benefits we have, it will just be thrown into a bottomless pit. Our appearance only gave him more bargaining chips. As soon as we showed up, he turned to look for Lu.
The Ke family wants more benefits, but nothing big can be achieved by pulling and pulling. So, why not let Larenque open the city gate. Once the city gate opens, it may not be a bad thing for us."
Hornan's expression changed. He knew Wolkan. He was far-sighted and had a broad vision. To be able to say such words, he must be relying on someone. However, the other Southern Lorraine nobles were a little confused, and they all looked weird.
Looking at Wolkan. Feeling the doubtful glances around him, Wolkan shook his head with a wry smile, stood up and whispered in Hornan's ear, "Your Excellency, I got news a few days ago that there is another army in North Lorraine.
The army is rushing to support Merlin City, so there may not be any danger to us if we open the city gate."
Hornan was stunned, his eyes full of confusion. From North Lorraine to South Lorraine, the only people who could rush to rescue in a short time were cavalry, but as far as he knew, North Lorraine could already provide three thousand cavalry.
The limit has been reached. The Red-Crowned Knights suffered such heavy losses. Where can Northern Lorraine get so many cavalry?
It’s not that Lorraine lacks knights. No matter how weak the nobles of Northern Lorraine are, it’s not a problem to gather a few thousand knights. The key is war horses and equipment. The Kingdom of Lorraine has not been good at military affairs since its founding. There is a serious shortage of war horses and ordnance reserves.
Just having people is of no use at all. Without horses, is a cavalry still called a cavalry?
Wolkan nodded and gave Hornan a reassuring look. Hornan was confused, but he could only choose to believe Wolkan, so he straightened his mood and looked at the surrounding Southern Lorraine nobles, "Everyone, Luo Weide
Your Excellency has already made arrangements, so there is no need to discuss the issue of Larenque. From today on, all troops will withdraw from Nuremberg, and we will have a battle with the rebels in the city."
Even Hornan said this, so naturally other nobles would not object. The discussion in the castle was heated, and a group of people were also gathered outside the castle. Marina was wearing a small red leather armor, her long hair was tied into a ponytail, and she looked heroic.
. Royce is like a servant, following Marina closely. Recently, the nobles of South Lorraine and the Luke family
When the war started, there were many wars in the city. Miss Marina was not willing to be alone. "Royce, you really let me down. You are also the heir of the Sosa family. Why do you work for that Easterner? Merlin City
It has become like this because of you, that Eastern Supervisor is also a bastard."
Royce was full of grievances and blinked pitifully. This violent girl is really unreasonable. How did the incident in Merlin City become the fault of the Eastern Empire? "Miss, you have misunderstandings about the governor. What happened in Merlin City has nothing to do with him.
It doesn't matter, the contradictions involved were laid down a hundred years ago. But don't worry, the governor will definitely not sit back and watch the power of Southern Lorraine be weakened, and the royal family will just show off its courage for a moment."
"Well, what about you? You have given me a moment of courage. If you have a little bit of courage, I can admire you." Marina looked disdainful, poking her slender fingers through the air.
Is's face became extremely distorted. After this period of contact, although he got to know Miss Marina somewhat, he was still very angry at her.
Immediately, Royce wanted to cry again, Miss, Miss, are you really stupid or pretending to be stupid? This is Merlin City, not North Lorraine. Royce is not in a position to dictate. This has nothing to do with courage.
?But trying to reason with Miss Marina was almost asking for abuse, so Royce could only keep his mouth shut.
At this time, the noble discussion also came to an end. One by one, the Southern Lorraine nobles came out. Marina stood on tiptoe and kept looking around. When she saw a middle-aged bearded man, she immediately ran up and grabbed the bearded sleeve anxiously.
asked, "Uncle Norik, are you going to start a fight? Please tell me where to fight?"
Marina's eyes were shining brightly and her fighting spirit was high, like a raging heifer. Norik almost sat down on the ground, shook off Marina's hand, and said with an angry smile, "What are you going to fight? I just decided, everything
The outer patrol troops retreated and waited for the decisive battle in the city."
"What?" Marina stopped immediately and ran over happily, waiting to show off her power and kill everyone. But she said she didn't want to fight anymore, "How can this be done? Are you afraid? Huo
Ernan, that little old man, has water in his head? Why did he abandon the perimeter? Why did he do this? I am not convinced."
The nobles of South Lorraine have not dispersed yet. When they suddenly heard Miss Marina's heroic words, they were immediately stunned. They stopped one by one and gave Marina a thumbs up. In Merlin City, it is also
Marina dared to be so arrogant and even ridiculed Hornan in front of everyone. He was a little old man. If it had been anyone else, he would have been chopped into pieces by the city patrol soldiers.
Royce sweated violently. If the eldest lady is so shocking, she will simply scare people to death without paying for her life. Hornan was walking out with Wolkan. As soon as he reached the corridor, he heard his daughter shouting such a sentence, and immediately
With his face twisted into a twist, Wolkang laughed in his heart, but pretended not to hear on his face. Miss Marina is really a lively person, and she can still make her laugh even in a dull atmosphere.
Not sure if he was stimulated, Hornan straightened his body unconsciously, strode out, stood on the steps and roared at the audience, "Marina, what do you want to do?"
When other people saw Huo Nan's face covered with frost, they would be so frightened that they lowered their heads and said nothing. Marina was not afraid at all. She pulled out her dagger and raised it, "What about you, you little old man, why don't you hit me?"
Aren’t you afraid?”
"You...say another little old man? I'll beat you to death..." As he spoke, Hornan took a broad sword from the guard's hand. He was not a little old man, but a real
Knight, the broad sword came over. Marina shrunk her neck, squeezed through the crowd and ran out. In the blink of an eye, she ran a dozen steps, "Smelly old man, bad old man, if you have the ability, chase after me!"
With Marina as a living treasure, it was difficult not to laugh. The Hornan father and daughter acted out this drama, and the rest of the people no longer felt that the atmosphere was so depressing. Hornan threw away the broad sword in his hand and glared angrily.
Staring, I don’t know if it’s a blessing or a tragedy to have such a daughter.
Marina fled back to her residence, as if nothing had happened, and led her female soldiers to start a new round of training. Not far away, Volkan and Royce stood side by side outside the fence, taking their time.
Looking at the valiant and heroic appearance of the eldest lady, Royce smiled bitterly and said, "Fortunately, she didn't directly agree to the marriage. With Marina's temperament, she still has to drive the supervisor crazy."
"You can't say that. This eldest lady is not as simple as she appears. She looks bold and carefree, but in fact she is like a mirror in her heart." Wolkan has his own opinion. Taking today's events as an example, it seems that Ma
Reina opposed Hornan's decision. In fact, she had already accepted the reality in her heart, otherwise she would not have made a fuss and went directly back to her residence to train.
