The news that Bonnie Bertrand returned to Palaven as the special envoy of Wikiia spread throughout the aristocratic circles of Palaven in a short period of time, and the descendants of Duke Bertrand appeared as a person from Vikiia. , what caused the biggest reaction was not the nobles who had not yet determined whether it was true or not, but the Northern Army who had just restored their reputation in the war.

Most of these former Northern Army generals who had just finished the bloody battle with the East Kugits on the front line are resting in the Lamborge Plain outside Palaven. They are the direct descendants of Duke Berlant and are the descendants of Berlant. The destruction of the Northern Army, which he saved with his own reputation and life,

In the battle of Yeruige, 5,000 Northern troops and Duke Berlant died at the same time in Yeruige. Only then could they, who were burdened with humiliation, be able to hold their heads high again and fight like warriors. Now I heard that Duke Berlant The successor turned out to be a Wikiyan, which undoubtedly touched their already fragile nerves again.

Even though they may face severe punishment from the Ministry of Military Affairs, some generals rushed back to Palaven from their garrison. Most of them appeared with angry expressions outside the palace of the Duke of Berlant, standing in rows in the heavy rain. , using silent silence to express her resistance and protest to Bertrand Bonnie,

Bertrand Bonnie wiped the rain-covered windows with her hands. In the fluffy white rain, about a dozen figures could be vaguely seen, standing like benchmarks in the rain. The cold rain wet their clothes. , if you count the people from the past two days, this is already the third batch of Northern Army generals who came to protest.

A dozen generals wearing star emblems representing glory on their chests stood at the forefront. They were soldiers. Even in their anger, they still maintained the etiquette and traditions of the Ridian knights and did not wave their fists at women, but They will use their angry eyes to stare at the third window on the second floor of the Duke's Palace, which was once the bedroom of Miss Bertrand Bonnie, who had the title of Flower of Knights, and is now the bedroom of the special envoy of Vikia.

Behind them are dozens of mid-level officers, large and small. Some of them are adjutants, some are squadron leaders, and there are also some ordinary guard knights. They consciously stand behind the general according to their class, and are divided into three classes, according to time. Duan came and went in turn, and their silent protest line was like a wall blocking the big n of the Duke's Palace.

Every time when Bertrand Bonnie's carriage is about to leave, it will be stopped by them. They will not use force and just stand like this. Bertrand Bonnie can only stare and finally do not return to the house. They just want to In this way, to stop the negotiations on the northern border,

Pedestrians passing by the road often cast curious glances here first. After understanding the situation, this curiosity will turn into a kind of respect. Kyoto people seem to be silently expressing their views on the actions of these former Northern Army generals. With approval, people in Kyoto will give them a thumbs up when passing by. Regardless of whether they are the culprits for the failure of the Northern War, they are now worthy of the glory of Ruidian's army.

For the Wikiyans who kicked Ruidian off the throne of the continent's hegemony, and for the Palavins who regard themselves as mainlanders, they express their contempt from the bottom of their hearts. Regarding the rapid rise of Wikiya, most Palavins feel that Just like a businessman who was once extremely wealthy, after a business investment failed, he had to endure a shameless upstart showing off his power in front of him. The sour taste can seep directly into his teeth.

"It's really annoying. Can't you ask your father to take good care of these daring guys? Letting these guys dig here will only make things more difficult to deal with. Doesn't Mr. Plaice even understand this?"

Bertrand Bonnie stood up from the sofa in her bedroom angrily, staring angrily at a series of stern rhetorical questions in her mouth, like a string of bombs thrown at a girl in a long skirt 2 meters away from her.

The girl just smiled faintly at the corner of her mouth and did not argue with her. This year-old girl's name is Pradie Lei. She has milky white hair, deep purple pupils and rose-red cheeks. She comes from a thousand-year-old family. The perfect combination of noble blood and the dreamy and changeable character of Dorok women,

She has a beautiful appearance that will make any man fall in love with her, and a magical and changeable style. Sometimes she is beautiful, sometimes she is pure and cute, which is enough to make any man she has ever seen be intoxicated. She is light and flexible, but rarely shows off. 1 Smiling, when she ran away with lotus steps, it was like a flying swallow turning and flying gently in the blue sky, giving people a light and bright impression.

Starting from the day before yesterday, in order to prevent the former Northern Army generals from attacking the Duke's Palace in anger, Plais placed his second daughter in the Duke's Palace and dispatched a small team to the Duke's Palace in the name of the Ministry of Military Affairs. Knights of the Guards, this also made the Northern Army outside n feel a little defensive. After all, not everyone is a follower of chivalry.

Two unparalleled beauties suddenly moved into the Duke's Mansion, which naturally attracted young nobles from Palavon to flock in. Outside the Duke's palace, from time to time you could see carriages parked on the roadside looking out of the windows of curious people. There are many such carriages, and they even line up from the n gate of the Duke's Palace to Street Street, which is 5 meters away.

This is what makes Bertrand Bonnie angry. Some daring guys, completely ignoring the possibility of being caught and whipped, tie a love poem to a stone and throw it in from behind the low stone wall of the Duke's Palace. By the time the knights of the guard chased them out, these guys had already escaped in a carriage.

The carriage of Minister of Military Affairs Prais only appeared outside the Duke's Palace in the evening. For safety reasons, the Ministry of Military Affairs decided to choose the venue for the negotiation at the Duke's Palace.

Slowly driving past the big n of the Duke's Palace, his solemn eyes looked at the familiar figures outside the window with concern. These former Northern Army generals had stood for too long, and the adjutants behind them had already moved the wood. stools and umbrellas held up over their heads, but they remained standing,

Seeing the carriage of the Minister of Military Affairs, there was some movement among these former Northern Army generals, but this movement soon turned into a kind of solemnity.

"brush"

The first dozen generals raised their hands and gave a knightly salute to the carriage of the Minister of Military Affairs. Although it was not very neat, it showed enough respect.

Plais may not have led them to a glorious victory like their Marshal Berlant, but at least this thin military minister is using his skinny shoulders to lead step by step. With the Ruidian army, they expelled the Kugit Dongting people from the northern land.

Under the stares of these generals, Prais ordered the carriage to be discharged, and then walked out of it, using the same etiquette to respond to the Northern Army generals standing outside.

"You should go back first," Plais said. "As soldiers, the place where you stand should be the front line, and this negotiation field should be my battlefield."

As a subordinate, I hope you can keep this humiliation in your heart. One day, you will lead the newly established Northern Army to regain the throne of northern hegemony. This should be the will of Marshal Berlant. "

"Sir," a Northern Army general sobbed and lowered his head. The raindrops wet the shoulders of both parties. A heavy tacit understanding flowed through the hearts of both parties.

Watching the northern army disperse before n, Prais walked the carriage solemnly. The performance of the northern army was just a microcosm of the entire Palaven. This is also Prais's biggest problem.

The army is highly concentrated and supplies from all sides are piled up. It seems that Palavon Kyoto is rapidly expanding in a kind of morbid state. Their eyes are hatred of the enemy and stubbornness in their own strength, and they completely ignore the weakening local economy. , like a big and sturdy tree, it looks like it has lush branches and leaves, but in fact it has begun to rot from the roots.

The events in the three northern counties indicate that Kyoto's influence is not only expanding rapidly, but also deviating from a stable track. It is like a carriage running on the edge of a cliff and may slip into the abyss at any time at a certain corner.

Parais still remembered that he had submitted a report to the royal family accusing the Sostriso family of Palavon of blackmailing a small lord named Starkov in the name of raising military funds.

And the reason why this incident was brought up by Plais is because the military funds donated in name were swallowed up by the Sostriso family halfway. If they are not punished, Plais believes that it will happen again next time. Asking local governments for military supplies will cause resistance

However, the royal family's reaction to this report was very strange. The so-called punishment was just to ask the Sostriso family to make up for the annexed military resources. This tacit approval can even be said to be an encouraging attitude, which made the nobles of Palaven even more unstoppable. In this life, they did not hesitate to extend their hands to areas outside Palawan. Since as long as they wipe their mouths clean, they can continue to eat secretly, who would refuse such a good thing?

The stubborn Plais had to choose to pretend to be deaf and dumb in front of this wind. Different from the greedy eyes of other ministers, what Plaice saw was the man squatting on the throne of Raedian. The lion with its decrepit head is making its final struggle,

As a dark noble who has never dealt with the royal family, Plais is very clear that for hundreds of years, the Redian royal family has been eager to establish a highly centralized ruling center, and this majesty relies on local support to take the throne. , in the previous two years of rule, he had downplayed the influence of this centralized power, but this time the invasion of the Kujit Dongting people, and the life that was about to come to an end, seemed to awaken something that had been sleeping in his blood.

His Majesty Haraus, who has been in power for 23 years and has single-handedly created the glory and decline of Ruidian, seems to intend to complete in just a few years the centralization of power that generations of people have been seeking.

This must be a very radical process. It is self-evident that it is bloody and cruel. It is as difficult as turning a fast-running carriage into a sudden turn of a hundred times.

Anyone who tries to stand in front of him will be crushed mercilessly, even if this person may be his relative. For example, after the southern negotiations ended in March, His Royal Highness the Second Prince, who was close to the southern nobles, was killed by His Majesty Harraus. Quickly transferred to the remote Burenst Mountains, and was directly excluded from the sight of the Palaven nobles.

As long as it does not hinder the continuation of the Ruidian race, Plais, as a dark noble, does not mind watching the completion of this fierce movement. A relatively centralized and powerful central power is Ruil. The best choice to get out of the current predicament
