After drinking and drinking, only a mess was left on the dining table. The guests left the restaurant one after another, passed through the quiet corridors with carved beams, and gathered in the spacious and bright living room, sipping black tea from Zealand and smoking Banan cigars.
, chatting and laughing happily.
"So, Wuhejun wants to stand up for that young man?" An old man sat on the sofa, raising his head and looking at the middle-aged people surrounding him.
"It is said that that boy once saved the entire ragtag army in the Battle of Meiding City. At the same time, he also created an opportunity for Miss Sophia's main force to attack," a middle-aged man with a rosy face said, "Therefore, don't think he is just a training officer.
The new born in the battalion has quite a reputation within the Wuhe Army."
"I think it's all lies." A thin gentleman next to him adjusted the collar around his neck. Under the silver-white wig, there was a face full of disdain. "In the battle of Meiding City, both the enemy and us
Tens of thousands of troops were invested. The battle situation was so chaotic and complicated. What role could a small ragtag army of soldiers play?"
He looked around, "Don't mention him, even if he is a Knight of Glory, a Knight of Great Light, in that situation, he is just a pebble thrown into the sea."
This gentleman's words immediately attracted the approval of many people.
"Yeah, how can the breeze flapping a butterfly's wings turn into a storm?" A lady in luxurious clothes gently shook an exquisite silk fan.
"Even if it has some effect," said a noble young man, "I'm afraid it's still far from what we understand. If there are no thoughtful people behind it to add fuel to the flames, it wouldn't be possible to spread such evil..."
While they were discussing, the crowd suddenly parted, and an old man walked in slowly, holding a wine glass.
"Earl of Wales..."
"My Lord Count."
Everyone saluted and said hello one after another. Their expressions and eyes were different and extremely complex.
Everyone knows that this old earl was the first noble to choose to openly join the team when the Lanlithians' air magic ship arrived in Munich. Although his eagerness completely lost the restraint that a noble should have. But now
.But everyone has to admit that this old fox is really too shrewd.
In just one or two weeks from the arrival of the Lanlithians in Munich, the situation in Lulian has deteriorated sharply. Schilling, who originally only came to resolve a minor dispute on behalf of Princess Scarlett, has now reached this point.
The center of the whirlpool. The people who originally planned to stand on the wall to watch the scenery are now eager to come over.
Political speculation is a skill that requires vision and courage. It is like walking a tightrope. If you are not careful, you may fall into an abyss.
Being able to see opportunities is a skill, being able to see them and seize them in time is even more important.
While many nobles were still making great efforts to get close to Schilling and asking for introductions, Wells, who was the first to seek refuge, had already established a firm foothold and became a member of this group. Except for Mrs. Joyce and a few
Apart from the great nobles whose strength is far above him, he is the highest-ranking celebrity.
Seeing him join at this moment, everyone's attention immediately shifted to him.
Compared to these people present, Earl of Wales, who is a celebrity around Schilling and is qualified to participate in core discussions, obviously knows more inside information.
"Your Excellency, Earl of Wales," a noble asked. "The uneducated gang of thugs in the ragtag army are provoking and causing trouble. Are we just going to sit idly by and ignore them?"
Enjoying the attention of the nobles, Wells shook the wine glass in his hand and said lightly, "If you let them make trouble, what tricks can they make? They are just a bunch of gangsters, just showing off their blood. If they really cross the line, they will backhand
Just suppress them!"
The nobles nodded and smiled.
As the lords of Lulian, who among them does not maintain a large-scale armed force? The small lords have one township and one town, seven or eight knights, and one hundred soldiers. The big lords even have one county and several counties.
In this land, he has hundreds of knights and thousands of soldiers.
Three thousand ragtag troops looked like a lot, but they were not qualified to compete with the noble lords present. Now in this coalition, nobles accounted for more than half of the troops. Even Eugene did not dare to act rashly.
Not to mention such a rabble.
As Wells said, how far can they go to make trouble? Is it possible that they can go to heaven?
not to mention……..
"Wells," an old nobleman who was familiar with the Earl of Wells said with half-squinted eyes and a pipe in his mouth, "I heard that people have come from the north. Is this true?"
Upon hearing this question, everyone present pricked up their ears and held their breath attentively.
The news about Knight Langris going south to Lullian is actually no secret for a long time.
The city of Munich is currently in an extremely critical and delicate period. The nobles who have taken refuge in the Langrith family are trying to give up Archduke Adolf in a relatively obscure gesture and stick to the city of Munich and their own territory.
The Langlys family moves closer.
Eugene, on the other hand, will resolutely implement Fano's plan, constantly dispatching supplies and increasing troops to the front line. There is absolutely no possibility of any delay or compromise.
The differences between the two sides will grow larger as the war progresses. If the two sides cannot reach an agreement, the deadlock may be broken by a bloody conflict at any time.
This conflict may have come from two days later, when the rear camp of the Fano army stationed outside the city set off; it may also have occurred when both sides realized that the gap was irreparable and decided to take action; or it may have occurred when the battle situation on the front line changed in some way.
; It may even occur when an innocuous fight breaks out between some nobles in the city of Munich or in the coalition military camp.
Just like now, the conflict between the ragtag army and the logistics escort is like a burning fuse. Both our side and Eugene's side are standing aside and watching. No one knows where this fuse will burn.
, will the end point be a huge powder keg?
Under such circumstances, if you want to ensure your own safety, you must rely on the strength you have at your disposal.
The nobility is a class that is always competing for interests. In this class, there are no permanent friends and no permanent enemies. Under the cover of flowers, lights, gorgeous clothes, elegant etiquette and beautiful castles, there are conspiracy and
knife.
Every nobleman present has experienced countless intrigues, intrigues and even bloody struggles. The reason why their family can stand today is because they are the victors in the cruel struggles between nobles.
And those losers have already been swept into the dust of history.
Therefore, they understand better than anyone else that if a conflict does break out between Eugene and their side, it will be a fight limited to a very small area.
Both sides will use their best strength to try to complete this battle for control of Munich in the shortest time, with the smallest impact, and silently. The scene may be bloody and cruel, but it will never be.
Open and vast.
Eugene was unwilling to let the coalition forces fall apart, and neither were the nobles.
The current coalition is the last armed force that Lulian can put together in a short period of time. Whether the nobles want to support themselves with troops or Eugene wants to support the front line, they need to keep this force intact.
Once the conflict between the two sides expands and shakes the military camp, it may become a civil war in which neither side can bear the losses. That will be a disaster.
Therefore, this confrontation will be very quick, very short, and very secretive. The focus of victory or defeat is to ensure that you have an armed force with sufficient deterrence and dominance in your hands!
In such a force, there is no place for brave knights. Those with the lowest strength must be just knights. And the number of glory knights and more powerful knights of great light will be the key to victory or defeat.
If before, Eugene, who controlled a long knight brigade of the Munich City Guard, still had a slight advantage in this regard, then now. With the arrival of the Knights of Langris, the strength of both sides will be tilted towards their own side.
tilt.
This is why everyone is particularly concerned about the actual lineup of the Lanrith Knights.
They've calculated it.
Originally, apart from Fano and other generals, Archduke Adolf had three Great Bright Knights under his command. Two of them were following him. One of them is now on the front line. The only Great Bright Knight that can be counted in Munich is the First Trainer.
The great teacher of the camp was Kameni alone.
As for Kameni, it is absolutely impossible for him to participate in any political struggle, let alone be dominated by Eugene.
After excluding these people, Eugene now only has one Long Knight brigade in his hands. This brigade was specially left to him by Fanot. In addition to being used for the defense of Munich and as the basic core for the establishment of the coalition,
It also means to shock.
The Munich City Guard is a force whose duty is to guard the city of Munich, and its strength is mainly infantry. Therefore, in terms of the equipment of knights and cavalry, there is a big gap with the Bavarian Knights, Lulian's trump card.
The total number of core long knights of the Guard Knights is only 300. They are divided into five brigades, each with 60 people. This means that the total number of long knights in Eugene's hands, plus the knights around him, will not exceed
Eighty people.
Most of these eighty people were knights of justice. There were only four knights of glory. Not only that, in order to deploy the defense of Munich, Eugene had to send more than half of the knights to the military around Munich.
He served as a grassroots commander at a strategic location so that this improvised coalition would not be in complete disarray after taking over the defense work of the Munich City Guard.
It is obviously impossible to mobilize this group of people back in the short term. Even if Eugene is mobilized, it will immediately arouse his own vigilance.
This also means that the number of knights that Eugene can use will not exceed forty. Regardless of the number or strength, the noble lords present can put together a roughly equivalent team. Plus
The words of Knight Langris who went south...
"One Great Light Knight, six Glory Knights, and thirty-six Justice Knights with strength above three stars," Wells said with a smile under the gaze of everyone, "I can tell you with certainty that we have overwhelming
The advantage of sex!”
This answer made everyone overjoyed, whispering and discussing.
"I think General Eugene is more willing to handle our differences in a gentler way," Wells said with a contemptuous smile on his lips, "If he is hot-headed, I believe he will
Regret his decision."

………………………………….
The lights, music and laughter in the living room passed through the window and spilled into the night. Only a small part, through the wooden floor, was faintly transmitted into a magnificent and quiet bedroom upstairs.
The lights in the bedroom were dim, and the candlelight was swaying gently. On the spacious and soft palace-style bed, a pair of naked bodies were entangled, and a burst of gasps and moans could be heard from the waves.
It took a long time for everything to calm down.
Xilin curled up and got out of bed. He picked up a glass of rum on the silver tray and walked to the window, drinking while looking into the distance.
Behind her, Countess Natasha leaned on the bed with her arms slanted, her white silk quilt draped around her waist, revealing her plump, white body and a pair of heavy breasts.
Just after having sex, this graceful Countess, with her charming eyes and a blush on her face, looked at Xi Lin's strong and well-proportioned body, full of obsession.
Among the nobles of Lulian, Natasha's strength and status are only lower than those of a few top nobles such as the Marquise Joyce. In addition, she is naturally sociable, can get everyone involved, and is a close friend of Mrs. Joyce. In Lulian,
Among the major noble lords in Li An, he is the one that everyone least wants to provoke.
However, despite being so strong, in Natasha's eyes, the man in front of her who had just withdrawn from her body was also so unattainable.
Thinking back to just now, this man was galloping on her body, and Natasha's body was filled with a sense of satisfaction of being honored. Her eyes looking at Xilin also became more and more confused with surrender.
"Lord Xilin," Natasha said softly, "What are you thinking about?"
Xilin turned his head, looked at the woman with a half-smile, and took a sip of wine. He said nothing.
Natasha was a little shy when he saw her.
She knew that she was no longer young. Compared with those little goblins who had already learned to seduce men in their twenties, or even fifteen or sixteen years old, her skin was already a little loose and she had some fat on her waist. Even though she had been seducing men all the time,
Her breasts, which she was proud of, also showed some signs of sagging.
Of course, for mature men, none of this is a problem. Her amorous feelings in bed will make people even more fascinated.
However, Natasha still feels a little inferior.
What she didn't understand was why Xilin didn't choose Mrs. Joyce, who was also single, younger, more beautiful, more charming, and with a higher status than herself, but chose to bring herself into the world on this night.
This bedroom.
Natasha had many lovers. Several husbands, and long-term lovers like Herman, who appeared to be loyal knights but were secretly secretly lovers, had long since made her no longer shy about things between men and women as she was when she was a girl.
However, when she recalled that after dinner, Xilin invited her to go for a walk in the garden alone, then took her hand, brought her here, pushed her down on the bed, and took off her clothes, she still felt a little depressed.
The feeling in a dream.
From the first moment she saw Xi Lin, she never concealed her affection for Xi Lin.
Xilin is mature, elegant, and handsome. More importantly, he is a noble knight of glory, an earl, and the second-level steward of the Langris family!
Even in remote Lulian, even if she was just a country earl in the eyes of the nobles of the imperial capital, Natasha understood how prominent power and status a second-level housekeeper of the Langris family meant, and what a bright future it meant.
He is also a count, but Xilin's status is much nobler than his own.
Moreover, in today's Munich city, he has become the target of all the nobles here striving to please. As long as he completes this mission, he will take a step forward in the Lanlith family. The future is limitless.
However, although Natasha admired Xilin, she never thought that she could really capture his heart. If he wanted a woman, the nobles in the living room would all be willing to give up their sisters and daughters.
Even wives and lovers are offered with both hands.
Why did you choose yourself?
Natasha is not stupid, she knows there must be some reason for this. And this reason is definitely not just her own charm.
Seemingly seeing Natasha's confusion, after a long silence, Xilin said leisurely, "I'm wondering, do you know what it means to be my woman?"
Natasha bit her lip gently and shook her head.
Xilin raised his eyebrows, walked naked in front of Natasha, suddenly stretched out his hand, pinched her breasts, and said coldly, "My woman only belongs to me. I heard
I have heard many rumors about you in the past, but I don’t want to hear them again in the future.”
"Yes." Natasha endured the pain in her chest and agreed with a low eyebrow.
Compared with those unruly girls who have not yet understood the rules between men and women, she knows better what she should say and do at this time. What's more, compared to the pain and humiliation, she was more surprised by Xilin's words
Meaning.
He wants to be his woman!
Xilin nodded with satisfaction, half sitting on the edge of the bed, as if stroking a tame bitch. He stroked her hair and said, "Very good, that's why I like you. Compared with Joyce, you are more
You are smart and know how to weigh the pros and cons."
Natasha leaned her head on Xilin's chest and remained silent. From the corner of her eye, she could see a cold flash in Xilin's eyes when he mentioned Mrs. Joyce.
As the leader of these nobles, Mrs. Joyce is an unavoidable key figure who allowed Schilling to insert his hand into the city of Munich. It was the cooperation between the two of them that formed the current situation. However, after hearing what Schilling said
means...
Natasha's heart moved.
A possibility that made her feel like her whole body was starting to heat up.
"To tell you the truth, I talked to Mrs. Joyce today..." Xilin drank the wine in the glass, put the glass on the bedside table, and said calmly, "About Eugene."
Natasha couldn't help but straighten her back. This sentence hit her guess exactly.
"I asked Joyce to take the initiative to make the first move." Xilin half-squinted his eyes, looking at the sculpture on the wall opposite the room, and said carefully, "She refused!"
really!
The corners of Natasha's mouth curved into a secret arc.
She knew her best friend very well.
Don't look at Joyce and Xilin's cooperation. However, in her heart, she is noble and shrewd. Even if she puts aside her status and joins the Langlys family, it is because she believes that under the current situation, Fano's plan has no chance of success.
.
She could make excuses with Eugene, she could use various methods to hold him back, she could use a gentle but uncomfortable way to make everything happen that should happen, but she would never take the initiative to take the risk of ruining her reputation.
Be that evil person.
If Eugene attacks, Joyce will fight back without hesitation. But if she wants to attack Eugene first, even Xilin will not be able to make her agree.
This naughty fox is very cunning.
"Since you have come here, you should understand that between me and Eugene, you can only choose one path."
Xilin's face was frosty, obviously he had not recovered from the embarrassment of Mrs. Joyce's rejection, "As of now, there is no room for relaxation between you and Eugene. In two days, we will be outside the city.
On the day when the army sets off, if Eugene doesn't get what he wants before then, he will probably take action first. Rather than that, it would be better..."
Natasha nodded, sneering in her heart.
Although Xilin's words were full of reasons, she actually understood that he was just taking the initiative to get Joyce to express his attitude.
Although everyone is already on the same boat, as long as Joyce doesn't fall out with Eugene for a day, he may get off the boat. At this juncture, Xilin doesn't want to have long nights and dreams. This is exactly what he asked Mrs. Joyce to do.
reason.
However, he obviously didn't expect that even to this extent, Mrs. Joyce would still be so cautious. Even if she thought with her toes, Natasha could still think of Joyce's charming smile, neither soft nor hard but straightforward.
to push him back.
Of course, she understood that there were some things she couldn't say. Besides, she and Joyce had different ideas.
"I'm thinking about you," Xilin said coldly, "If you want to gain the attention of the family, you have to show your performance. You can't just sit back and enjoy the success."
"That's what the adults said." Natasha agreed.
"Since she doesn't want to, I won't force it." Xilin turned his eagle eyes and glanced sideways at Natasha and said, "If we leave her, won't we be able to do anything? Not every opportunity given by the family is
Everyone is entitled to it. Once you miss it, you will regret it."
He held Natasha's chin and said leisurely, "You're not that stupid, are you?"
Natasha's heart was beating very fast.
She knew that Schilling wanted to bypass Mrs. Joyce, directly control the nobles who had come to Munich, and control the situation in Munich. However, in this circle, he needed a spokesperson who was familiar with the situation and had a certain prestige, and this
Man, he obviously chose himself!
Natasha didn't know whether she was surprised or scared for a moment.
The surprise is that if he is really selected and he performs well in the upcoming conflict, he can completely replace Joyce and become the leader of the Lulian nobles.
At the same time, this also means that I will take that step and become a real betrayer!
But... with Xilin holding her chin and looking at his eyes flashing with cold eyes, how could she still have a choice?
Natasha has never been a person who likes to be inferior to others.
Although she had been friends with Joyce for many years, she felt jealous from the bottom of her heart when she saw Joyce being the star of the aristocracy's attention on any occasion.
She has a restless nature and loves taking risks.
But this time, what she had to do was just take the initiative to do what Joyce was forced to do a few days later.
Thinking of this, Natasha smiled charmingly. She hugged Xilin's waist and said with a sweet smile, "Sir, do you think I am such a stupid woman?"
"I know, you are very smart!" Xilin smiled slightly and kissed her.
"What do you want me to do?" Natasha asked coquettishly. She looked like a little bitch wagging her tail to her master.
"Archduke Adolf is trapped in a tight siege and is certain to die. Fano wants to rescue him, but there is not even a 100% chance. With Lulian's current strength, he can withstand the offensive of Fei Lie's southern army.
Not bad.”
Xilin said, "The gains and losses of a city or a place are nothing to the family. It makes no difference whether Lulian is in the hands of Adolf or the Phillies. What the family needs is
People’s hearts.”
Natasha nodded.
She understood this very well. Take the reason why Xilin came to Munich this time. The reason was just because of the boy who had been put in prison by Hermann.
In the eyes of the nobles, that boy was just an insignificant person. No matter what contribution he had made in the Battle of Medin City, or how powerful he was among a group of low-level knight students, he was just a small person.
Even if he is canonized as a guardian knight by Princess Aleshia, he is still a nobody.
The meaning of "little man" is that no matter how famous he is, no matter how bizarre the legend is, or how talented he is, he has no power or power. He has no territory, no retinue, no castle, and no wealth. Any noble can do it.
Use one finger to kill him easily!
Natasha could easily kill such a common boy. Just like those legends in history who were so bright but were killed by a certain family because of some stupid conceitedness. Even if they are still chanting today
The poet's mouth recited, but their bodies have long been buried in the ground.
But the Lanlith people came with great fanfare. The reason was not only because they wanted to abide by the rules of the game of the nobles, but also because they wanted the sky magic ship engraved with the Lanlith coat of arms to fly over the border of Saint Solan. Let everyone
People understand how powerful they are.
But when Schilling's Sky Demon Ship landed in the city of Munich, he got a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity - Fei Lie's army pressed on the border, and Adolf was trapped in a tight siege!
These days, Xilin's focus has been entirely on this matter.
Compared with Kevin's challenge to Roy, Lulian's situation at this moment is more important to the Lanlith family.
Schilling didn't care if Lulian fell.
He only needed to borrow the help of the Phillies to kill Archduke Adolf. He only needed to deprive Edward I of a right-hand man and destroy the prestige he had worked so hard to establish. He only needed to suffer from the distrust of the imperial nobles.
If we get rid of Roy, get rid of Archduke Adolf, recruit the nobles of Lullian, and by the way, grandly rescue Viscount Wenger, who was the first to join the family, Langris will win a great victory in Lullian. Its influence
The power is enough to sweep the entire Saint Solan.
By that time, people on this land will understand the difference between being enemies and being friends with the Lanlith people. They will understand that the Solan family is already a thing of the past. If they want to grow in the next decades or even centuries,
To continue enjoying the glory and wealth, they must learn to surrender!
This is Schilling's chance.
After completing all this, his status in the Lanlith family will skyrocket. And the time is just in the next few days!
"You know," Xilin said, "right now, everyone's eyes are fixed on this place."
He said with an unusually excited expression on his face, "The four major families of Saint Solan, the major knights, the grand dukes of the major provinces, the top nobles of your imperial capital, and..."
He paused for a moment, making Natasha even more curious.
"Who else?"
Xilin smiled and said with a mysterious expression, "Of course there is the Holy Maiden Hall!"
Natasha covered her mouth in shock.
She knows all the people Xilin mentioned just now. After all, the current situation in Lulian is related to the political situation of the empire. As long as you are in the political circle of the empire, no one can just sit back and watch indifferently.
On this turbulent sea, which ship to choose is now the core issue for every noble family. It is related to their prosperity, wealth, and even their lives. If one step is wrong, no one expects to end up like this.
A victim of a struggle.
Therefore, it is only normal for the four major families, the major knights, and the top nobles of the empire to send people to Lulian for observation.
However, Natasha did not expect that the Holy Maiden Temple, thousands of kilometers away, would actually send people here.
It seems that this organization, which was once the most powerful backer of the Solan royal family and the only organization that could be on an equal footing with the Holy Religion, has experienced some kind of wavering as the rumors said.
They are weighing the investment value between Solan and Lanlith. If Lulian is defeated and Adolf dies. Even if Princess Alessia is still one of them, they will abandon the Solan royal family without hesitation.
Thinking of this, Natasha felt unbearably hot all over.
How could she not be excited to be noticed by so many eyes? Especially when she thought that she would become the core of this change, she couldn't restrain her inner impulse. Her cheeks were flushed, her breathing was short, and her body was even a little wet.
feeling.
Xilin keenly noticed Natasha's change, chuckled lightly, turned over and pressed her under him.
"Now, do you know how stupid that woman Joyce is?"
"I know..." Natasha gasped and put her arms around Xilin's neck. She raised her head for a kiss and said passionately, "What do you want me to do?"
"First, kill that boy named Roy." Xilin stepped forward and said coldly.
Natasha let out a long moan, her body heaving with Xilin's attack, and she asked, "Why? Sir, don't you want to..."
"Just a lowly commoner," Xilin sneered. "In the past, he was kept because the family didn't want to break the rules and also needed him to be an example. But now, with Adolf and Wenger as examples, there is no need for him.
.”
"Killing him is to break this rule. When the dust settles on Lulian, even if the whole world knows that we killed him, so what?" Xilin said while exerting force, "This is another way.
warn!"
"Yes..." Natasha said, "My lord."
Now that Roy is in the hands of her knight Herman, Schilling's request is not a problem at all.
"Second, find an opportunity to attack Eugene..." Xilin said.
This request made Natasha couldn't help but grab Xilin's arm. Her body became stiff.
"What, is there a problem?" Xilin stood up forcefully.
Natasha shook her head quickly and said, "No!"
"That's good," Xilin said with a ferocious look, "I arranged for the person next to Joyce to report that Eugene will have a private meeting with Joyce tomorrow. Hehe, that bitch still wants to hide it from me.
.But I don’t know that this is our opportunity. As long as we capture Eugene, his gang will be leaderless. When the troops set off the day after tomorrow, I will let them watch a big show!"
Under Xilin's almost crazy sprint, Natasha was as weak as mud.
In a daze, she only remembered the time the day after tomorrow, and Xilin's excited and ferocious face in the flickering candlelight.
