This damn weather made Baron Bate stand by the window and whisper to the cloudy sky, looking at the cloudy sky, it was going to rain again.
Shenchi Bay close to the sea is not short of rain, especially in summer and autumn. The sky is blue in the first moment and the wind and rain are very common in the next moment. Therefore, the city has made a lot of preparations, from stone pavement to underground drainage facilities.
It's not like Broken Tooth Castle or Greystone City. It's raining to turn lowlands into puddles, and it's muddy everywhere.
One or two heavy rains will delay merchant ship unloading at most, and the impact on the city is almost minimal.
It's not so much about the weather, but rather about his mood.
Unfortunately, after the sudden rain, the clouds will dissipate, but the mood will not.
Adult, have you considered how to answer them?Secretary Zum asked cautiously.
answer?The Baron sneered twice, whether to hang or burn to death, and ask you to choose one, what would you answer?
Uh... The clerk was stunned for a moment.
There is no choice, right?Keep dragging.
But... he opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something else, but he still couldn't speak in the end.
In fact, even if he didn't say it, Bate knew that it was difficult to drag on it forever, just like the one born in heaven. No matter how reluctant the merchants were to see it, it would always fall.
The reason for it all comes from the war with the church.
After the Wolf Heart Royal City was destroyed, a large number of Wolf King's illegitimate children appeared overnight. The lords from all over the country formed gangs and fought against each other, and it was the orthodox trend that they had their own strength.
After a lot of competition, three major forces gradually formed the Token family entrenched in the northwest, the Hongshimen family occupying the southern border, and the Fang family in the eastern mountainous areas.
Because the former is far away, he has never had trouble with Shenchi Bay, but the two families behind him are different. Both dukes want to pull Shenchi Bay into their own sect and further expand their own strength.
In the early stages of the dispute, the Baron insisted on harbor neutrality and did not offend either party, which not only allowed the city to quickly restore prosperity, but also allowed him to earn considerable income.
In order to ensure that the goods can be exchanged for food or golden dragon in time, and the surrounding area is not determined, the two dukes did not force him too much.
But with the new round of annexation and expansion, Fang and Red Stone Sect gradually stood out and became the most powerful competitors of the New Wolf King.
In addition, the Token family suddenly closed the main road of Changshan, which made the two big families look at Shenchi Bay again.
The Baron could even think of what they were trying to do with his knees.
Swallowing Shenchi Bay and banning the enemy's material trade will inevitably gain a great advantage in this competition.
So this time they not only sent envoys, but also dozens of knights and hundreds of mercenaries who were traveling with them, and their attitude was self-evident.
The harbor only has patrols that maintain order and a personal guard group that protects the lord's safety. It's okay to deal with pirates who are not covered in clothes, but they have no ability to protect themselves in the face of fully armed knights.
Jean Bet had no intention of resisting. If the three major forces had already decided on the victory and defeat and decided on the Wolf King, he would have sworn allegiance without hesitation.
As for whether the new wolf king comes from the bloodline of the old wolf king, he doesn't care.
However, the Red Stone Gate and Fang were evenly matched.
Resignation becomes a dead end.
No matter which side he chooses to stand on, the other party will never sit idly by and lose the maritime trade, which means that food, iron and other materials can only rely on their own production, while the other party continues to obtain supplies, which undoubtedly means giving up victory.
Therefore, once you surrender, you will definitely be attacked by the other side.
Chenchi Bay has neither an indestructible wall nor a deep moat. If you want to resist, you can only rely on the support of the investees.
But will the two major families really support him?
The baron dared not gamble.
If he is the Red Stone Gate or the Duke of Fang, he can naturally think that he can use the leaders of Shenchi Bay to consume the power of the attacker, and then take advantage of the situation to attack, which can effectively reduce the casualties of elite knights.
He even let the enemy enter the city, block the retreat route, and slowly consume it... After all, what the other party wants is Shenchi Bay, not the people here.
Or, it would be better without him to make Bet's jurisdiction.
As mentioned before, this is a question of whether to choose to be hanged or burned.
Putting two emissaries in a camp is to use their hostility to delay time, and it would be even better if they could fight.
He also provided spirits and women repeatedly and deliberately asked them to choose together. Unfortunately, even though these people were fighting red, they never drew their swords to face each other.
Tick, tick...
The rain finally fell, and the garden of the Governor's Mansion became hazy, as if covered with a layer of gauze.
Staring at the petals swaying gently in the rain, the Baron remained silent. Waiting like this was not a solution, but he could not think of a way to continue to remain neutral.
Grandfather often said that aristocrats often sway between the gains and losses of interests and power, and as long as they make good use of this, they can get along with each other.
Maybe he should calm down, give up those tricks, and think carefully about how to get out of the predicament from a strategic perspective.
At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps interrupted his meditation.
Big, sir, it's not good!
Why are you panic? Say something if you have something to do!It made Bate glar at the person with displeasure, what's wrong?Could it be that the knights finally started fighting?
If that's the case, that's good news!
He stared at the guard's mouth, hoping to see the word camp or knight in the other person's mouth.
The fleet of Grey Castle and King of Grey Castle occupy the harbor!However, the guards' words were completely beyond his imagination, which made him unable to react for a while. Not only that, they also blocked the dock area and prohibited anyone from getting close!
What did you say?Gray...fort?The Baron subconsciously repeated, do they want to buy and sell something?Wait... You just said lockdown?
That's true!The guards said anxiously that they drove away the ships that were originally parked by the trestle and allowed their own ships to dock. They also said that this was a temporary requisition and that order would be restored soon.The patrol wanted to stop them, but was disarmed in the blink of an eye!It is reported that there are as many as hundreds of gray castle ships outside the port!
It made Bate feel a little incredible, are you sure it is the fleet of King of Graycastle?Instead of the family emblem of a certain lord?
Yes, I saw it with my own eyes and the guard nodded with difficulty, it was indeed the tall tower spear flag of the Gray Castle royal family.
With the gods above, is it possible that Gray Castle plans to invade the wolf's heart?
Why did Wimbledon let his rich neighbors go and take a detour to cause trouble for him?
Even if the King of Graycastle wants to expand his territory, there is no need to launch an attack from the sea, right?Can the Tokens really resist the defeat of the church's Graycastle army?
No, this doesn't make sense at all...
The Baron felt his mind was chaotic for a moment and he couldn't figure it out at all.
Until the secretary Zum walked to him, he lowered his head and whispered a few times.
The Baron's eyes lit up!
That's right, this may be the opportunity he has been waiting for!
The power of Graycastle is undoubtedly enough to break the current deadlock between the two strong men.
Suppose this fleet really expanded its territory for the King of Graycastle. When you first arrived in this strange land, no matter how powerful it was, you would need the help of local nobles. With a little guidance, you might be able to achieve the effect of driving the wolf and swallowing the tiger.
Anyway, being loyal to anyone is not loyalty. If you show kindness to the King of Graycastle, you may be able to gain greater power and may become one of your own!
Even if Wimbledon fails, he will not lose anything.
At this moment, another guard ran in. Sir, the Grayburg fleet sent an envoy, saying that he came with His Majesty Roland Wimbledon's will, hoping to talk to you in detail.
Let Bet look at each other with the clerk, then nodded, "It's the guest far away, telling the messenger that I can see them at any time."
