Xilin spurred his horse to gallop. In front of the horse's head, the people dispersed like a tide and stepped back. Countless pairs of eyes were all focused on him.
At this moment, he truly felt what it means to be in the spotlight and what it means to be high-spirited!
Last night, in Natasha's courtyard, he waited until two o'clock in the morning and finally got the news he wanted to hear most.
Eugene is captured!
The entire operation, from the detection of the news to the deployment of the operation, was all planned by him. With careful calculation and unintentional calculation, he finally succeeded in one blow.
After receiving the news, Natasha and a group of nobles who had taken refuge in the Langris family gathered in the room almost jumped up. The tension and fear on everyone's face disappeared without a trace. At that moment
, the way they looked at him was just in awe!
Thinking of this, a reserved smile appeared on Xilin's face. He rode his horse straight into the square, got off his horse in front of the Hera Hotel, where the nobles gathered, and looked back at the carriage following behind him.
A row of carriages with the coats of arms of the major Lurian families stopped one after another. Natasha stepped out of the first carriage. But Mrs. Joyce, who was supposed to be the leader of the local aristocracy, was only in the queue.
Second place.
Compared with the energetic Natasha, the expression on Mrs. Joyce's face was a little gloomy. Facing the people who were greeting each other, she pretended to be calm while casting jealous eyes at Natasha. Occasionally she looked at herself.
, there was a trace of unwillingness and a trace of stubbornness in his eyes.
But apart from that, more is forced to give in to reality.
Xilin turned around with a smile.
Last night, after Wells made a surprise attack on Shannon Manor and captured Eugene, Mrs. Joyce, escorted by the knights appointed by Wells, rushed to the other courtyard overnight to seek an audience.
Although this woman still had that arrogant look on her face when she walked into his room, it seemed that her private meeting with Eugene was a very normal and aboveboard social event. Instead, he deployed people to spy on the information and take action first to destroy it.
This established the foundation of trust and cooperation with her.
However, after a few minutes, she recognized the reality clearly under her cold eyes.
Especially when she saw her best friend, Natasha, her best friend of more than ten years, walking into the room, holding her arm and smiling at her. Her whole body seemed to be emptied out, and her face was pale.
Like paper, he no longer has the usual arrogance.
If it weren't for the fact that Mrs. Joyce controlled a considerable part of the coalition forces, and if it weren't for the fact that she wanted to control the city of Munich and needed her assistance, Schilling would have wanted to slap this beautiful woman in the face.
Then he stripped her naked and threw her on the bed!
That was what he wanted to do from the first day he met Joyce.
However, this day is not far away. As long as today passes, not only Joyce, Natasha and these nobles, but also the entire city of Munich and even Lullian will kneel at their feet!
…
Xilin swung his cloak, climbed up the steps, and stepped onto the terrace of the Hera Hotel.
As soon as they saw him coming, all the nobles on the terrace stepped out of the way and stepped out of the way. Some people saluted and greeted him, while others turned their heads with contempt.
Xilin just didn't care about the appearance of the people around him.
Whether it was flattery or glaring, it was just a breath of fresh air for him who already had Eugene in his hands. Today, these nobles are just a group of bystanders. The only role they stand here is to witness how they are doing.
Turn your hand to make clouds and turn your hand to make rain, take control of this majestic city!
However, there are some people that even he cannot ignore.
Seeing the three female envoys from the Saint's Palace, Xilin's expression changed. He walked in front of them, bowed gracefully and said, "It is an honor for me and the people in Munich to see all the saints in Munich.
Your brilliance is so dazzling that it is comparable to the sun and the moon."
Even in a formal occasion, such compliments still seemed a bit disgusting, especially since Xilin's words actually vaguely represented the people of the city, which made the local nobles present frown. Many people secretly spat.
Secretly scolding this guy for being shameless.
However, for the female envoys of the Holy Lady Temple, such compliments are perfectly normal.
The leading female envoy nodded, accepted Xilin's compliment calmly, and said with a lukewarm attitude, "Mr. Xilin, you're too polite. Today we were ordered to come here just to see your means. Since Langris went south, you have
It is a matter of great concern. It just so happens that the situation in Lulian is in turmoil and the situation is changing. We want to know how Mr. Sir shows his magical power."
In the Land of Redemption, the Holy Lady Temple is the only organization that can rival the Holy See. It is aloof and cannot be desecrated. The female envoys in the temple are all orphans selected from various places. They were raised in the temple since childhood and rarely have contact with outsiders.
Therefore, I always speak simply and directly, and I am not used to beating around the bush.
Facing Xilin at this moment, this distinguished third-level female envoy was also straightforward and straight to the point.
In the past, it was well known that the Holy Maiden Hall and the Golden Dragon Family were at odds with each other because of Princess Alessia. However, as Augustus was promoted to a Paladin and paid a visit in person, many senior officials in the Holy Maiden Hall have changed.
Attitude, I want to make good friends with the Golden Dragon family.
This is tantamount to bad news for the Solan royal family.
It was precisely when Alecia resolutely joined the Holy Lady Temple that Edward suppressed all the forces that were about to move and won a chance to breathe.
And once the people of Lanlith, who are eyeing the throne of Solan, complete this effort, then the Solan royal family will be abandoned by all the nobles. The Golden Dragon family, the Holy See, and the nobles headed by Donald will pounce like wolves.
Come up and tear the centuries-old imperial power of the Solan family into pieces.
However, what shocked everyone was that at this moment, a boy from the south slapped Scarlett on the face, stopping the Langris people in their tracks.
As the most favored member of the Golden Dragon family and the cousin of Augustus's childhood sweetheart, Scarlett actually lost the gambling battle and became the slave girl of the little Bo La Belle.
It is definitely a big shame for the Golden Dragon family.
With such shame, they had no face to form an alliance with the Holy Lady Palace. And those voices in the Holy Lady Palace that favored the Golden Dragon Family could only remain silent.
Because of this, Xilin was ordered to go south. It is also because of this that these female envoys from the Holy Lady Temple are here today. Their mission is to witness with their own eyes how the Golden Dragon Family washes away their shame and how they use their tyrannical methods.
, establish your authority in this land!
The female envoy said whatever she thought without any scruples. But when these words fell into the ears of everyone present, it was different.
For a moment, everyone was in an uproar.
Although everyone knows that in this turmoil in Munich, Schilling is hiding behind the scenes and calling the shots. But it is still difficult to accept it when he really comes out and puts everything on the table. Especially Count Kazins and the group of loyal Adolf around him.
The local nobles of the Grand Duke were even more furious.
After all, this is Saint-Soulan. It is the city of Munich that has been ruled by the Lullian family for nearly a hundred years. Even if Archduke Adolf is under heavy siege, there are still General Eugene and many lords and nobles here. How could an outsider jump out and take this place?
The land is used as a stage to show what means?!
The words of the female envoy from the Holy Maiden Temple, whether they were unintentional or direct, were like a steel knife cutting into everyone's hearts. Everyone felt a deep sense of shame.
And what about Schilling!
How will he answer? Is he really going to stand on the front desk today and use his identity as an outsider to trample Lulian's dignity under his feet?!
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Xilin.
In full view of everyone, Xilin's lips slowly raised a smile. He raised his eyebrows slightly, raised his chin arrogantly, and then, in front of hundreds of Solan nobles and representatives of major forces, he slapped the audience.
Snap your fingers!
This is a gesture to summon a servant or subordinate.
But when everyone turned around to look, they suddenly discovered that the people Xilin was greeting were actually twenty or thirty Lulian noble lords!
Everyone was stunned.
Whether they were local nobles, representatives of nobles from various places, or even people from the four major families and the Saint Lady's Palace, they all stared blankly at the nobles who got off the carriage and walked onto the platform.
What familiar faces those are!
Led by Marquis Joyce and Count Natasha, these dozens of people are all famous lords and nobles in Lulian! They are the backbone of Archduke Adolf!
They are different from those nobles whose families are in decline and only have titles. The youngest among them is also a baron who owns a city. And big nobles like the Marquis of Joyce have the power to influence the situation in Munich. Yes.
He said that nearly half of the soldiers in the military camp today are from them. Eighty percent of the military supplies are provided by them. Any one of them stamping their feet can make the city of Munich tremble.
.
But now, they followed Xilin's snap of his fingers and walked over.
The nobles on the platform all fell into a dead silence. The common people around them also noticed that something was wrong. They all stood on tiptoes and looked over.
In the eyes of everyone, although the expressions on the faces of the nobles who had taken refuge in the Langris family were not so natural, they still followed the leader Natasha, walked behind Xilin, and stood still one by one.
The posture of Leader Lin was just like they used to stand behind Archduke Adolf!
After a moment of silence, an uproar rose into the sky!
"What...what does this mean?"
"They...how did they..."
People stared stupidly at the familiar faces behind Xilin, unable to believe their eyes.
To be honest, even before today, there had been news circulating in the streets and alleys of Munich that various nobles had defected to the Langris people.
However, most people sneered at these news. In their opinion, it may be true that Schilling was making trouble, but it must be said that Mrs. Joyce, who had followed Archduke Adolf for many years and was usually quite famous, all betrayed him at the same time.
, but it’s hard to believe.
Unexpectedly, today, in full view of everyone, the nobles headed by Natasha and Mrs. Joyce actually followed Xilin's snap of his fingers and stood behind him!
Even though they didn't say a word from beginning to end, their actions said everything!
This is an open and unmistakable betrayal!
"It's amazing!" In the crowd, Royal Historian Alvin was secretly shocked, "The Lanlith people have taken action! One move to kill! This Xilin, although he is only the second-level housekeeper of the Lanlith family, is really not simple. It's really true.
Subdue Mrs. Joyce and other local Lurian nobles!"
Although Alvin had long understood the secret changes in Munich City through reports, he still did not expect that Schilling would control these nobles who had taken refuge in the Langris family so docilely!
It's one thing to take refuge. It's another thing to stand up publicly.
These noble lords are all natives of Lulian. Their families, their territories, their wealth and glory are all rooted here. If there wasn't some special reason that warranted their disregard of everything, it would be absolutely impossible for them to become the
Standing behind Xilin in front of the city's residents and many imperial nobles!
Alvin didn't know what kind of magic Xilin used on these nobles to make them so determined. But he knew that Xilin's move was equivalent to announcing that the city of Munich had become the world of the Langris people!
Alvin had the same idea, as did all the nobles present. The uproar grew louder and louder, and gradually turned into a raging tide. And this scene soon spread to the audience and the ears of countless people.
The entire South Gate Square was filled with shock and anger.
"Mrs. Joyce, have you defected to the Langres?"
"Damn it, there's also the Bobis family. Look, the three brothers of this family standing behind Xilin look like dogs raised by the Langlis people!"
"And Baron Gerard and Baron Clive!"
"Shame on them!"
"Betrayal, this is shameless betrayal! Are you still a noble of Lulian?"
"People from Lanlis, get out of Munich!"
A burst of uproar and curses broke out in the square. Everyone, whether noble or common, was filled with indignation.
Under the stage, an old knight with a cane was asking loudly. Beside him, at the front of the surrounding crowd, some famous elders also stood up. Everyone was shocked by the facts in front of them.
Angry and deeply ashamed.
This is Lulian!
This is the gate of the military camp in Munich!
But today, they were originally here to witness their own troops going out to fight against Fei Lie's invasion, but because of the betrayal of these scum among the nobles, they watched helplessly as the Lanlithians showed off their power here.
Many people were so angry that they were shaking all over. They couldn't believe the facts before them. However, no matter how many of them there were and no matter how loud their shouts and curses, it was just a gust of wind.
Xilin looked at the crowd around him with a half-smile.
In this world, the only person who has the right to speak is the sword in his hand.
He has seen too many stupid people like this. Whether they are angry or humiliated, all they can do is to curse a few times.
This is still the territory of the Lullian family, and they are still subjects of Archduke Adolf. Therefore, facing themselves as outsiders, they can do whatever they want without scruples. Especially affected by the public sentiment, it seems that they can show it without scolding a few times.
Not to mention their loyalty and integrity.
But if they really wait until they take control of the city, wait until they realize the reality, wait until they see those who dare to provoke the Lanlith family being hanged on the gallows, they will disperse in panic like a flock of quails and hide away.
Far away, trembling all over.
A bunch of ridiculous pariahs!
Slowly looking back, Xilin saw the undisguised look of shock from the female servant of the Holy Maiden Palace.
"Master Xilin is really good at it." The female envoy looked past Xilin and passed over the faces of Natasha and others one by one. After a while, she nodded approvingly and said, "As soon as you take action, you will be sure of victory.
With the support of so many people, it seems that the city of Munich can only follow your orders."
"Shameless!"
As soon as the female envoy finished her voice, an angry voice sounded next to her.
Everyone turned to look and saw that Count Kazins had emerged from the crowd!
The royal envoy, whose face was red and whose beard was trembling, pointed angrily at the noses of Lady Joyce, Natasha and other noble lords, and shouted: "Archduke Adolf fought bloody battles on the front line and was in danger.
And you, as his loyal knights and vassals, actually betrayed your master for glory and became the lackeys of the Lanlith people!"
He strode over, his eyes looking like they were about to spit out fire: "You ruthless, shameless bastards! Your ancestors will all be ashamed because of you!",
Count Cazes' roar echoed on the terrace. After a moment of silence, a burst of cheers erupted from all around!
"Well done!"
"You're a bunch of filthy bastards! It's a shame that I treat you so generously today!"
"Without the Grand Duke, you wouldn't be where you are today. But now, you want to drive the Grand Duke to death! You actually colluded with the Langris people. Do you have any conscience at all?"
For a moment, the crowd was furious. The nobles loyal to Archduke Adolf cursed one after another. Even some representatives of the nobles who came from afar looked at Natasha and others with contempt.
"Hey, isn't this Count Cajuns?" As if he had discovered the New World, Xilin turned his head in surprise, ignored everyone's scoldings, and said to Cajuns with a smile, "I heard that you arrived in Lulian
, I have been refusing to return to the imperial capital. I have food and accommodation at Grand Duke Adolf's mansion. I guess if it weren't for the purpose of hiding from you, Grand Duke Adolf would not have gone to the front line and ended up where he is today."
"Fart!" Count Cazes glared at Schilling.
"What?" Xilin's cold and slender eyes narrowed to a slit, looking at him coldly, "Am I right?"
"Xillin," Count Cazes said angrily, "This is the Saint Solan Empire! It's not Langris! It's not a place for you to run wild! You're a little second-level butler, don't think too highly of yourself! If I don't want to give you
Master, if you cause trouble, please leave in your empty magic ship! Stop making trouble in troubled waters here and do some shameful things. Otherwise, when Archduke Adolf comes back, I will chop you alive!"
"Katzins," Schillingson said coldly, "you don't really think that Adolf can come back alive, do you?"
"Of course!" Kazins said resolutely, "Archduke Adolf has experienced many battles. The Phillies want his life before it's time!"
"Oh, really?" A sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of Xilin's lips, "It's not that I want to curse our respected Archduke Adolf, but I think that at such an old age, he has lived enough and should have died long ago. Besides,
The situation is not up to anyone, he is dead. You should prepare for his funeral."
The crowd around was shouting curses.
They had known that the people of Lanlis were domineering, but no one expected that a second-level housekeeper would dare to stand on the soil of Munich City and openly say such words!
This is completely embarrassing!
If in normal times, Xilin dared to say such words, he would definitely not be able to leave Munich. But at this moment, what makes people angry is that the nobles behind him gave him the confidence to be arrogant! Even these rulers of Munich
Those who have become his lackeys, who else can do anything to him?!
"Presumptuous!" Several nobles and their guarding knights around Earl Kazins shouted loudly and drew their swords angrily.
However, just as their hands grasped the hilt of the sword, they heard the sound of horse hooves and the clatter of a sword being unsheathed from under the balcony.
Dozens of knights who followed Schilling rode their horses to form two long queues. They circled the arena in an arc to isolate the terrace from the surrounding crowd.
