Cthulhu Gonfalon Chapter 100:
,
Faced with the questioning eyes of the nobles and the surprised question of the earl, the Marquis of Uk looked calm as water, but he cursed secretly in his heart.
If he has a choice, of course he is not willing to make a peace with the businessman, but does he have other options now?
Last night, he received a letter from his sister. It was a magical message, and it was about some very secret information.
Although the sister’s words are very cautious, I can see that she is not very sure, but according to the information she has on hand, the Marquis of Yuk can be sure that her guess is correct.
He can be sure that the aristocratic faction should be the caravan and civilians who did not send anyone to attack the merchant faction. As for the attacks on border soldiers and lords sent by the nobles, it is estimated that it was not done by the merchants.
Before he thought, since everyone is very angry, it’s better to just give it up. Anyway, the main force for sending troops is the local nobles, even if he loses, as a central noble, his losses are very limited. So he is the main battle faction, and tends to fight a small-scale war with the merchant faction.
However, comparing his sister’s information, he thought about it for a long time, but he was scared into a cold sweat.
If you really want to fight this, I’m afraid it’s not a “small-scale war” issue, and don’t want “limited losses” at all.
The one who promotes this war behind the scenes doesn’t want a small-scale war at all, but a fierce war that involves the entire Gold Coin Federation!
Although he can’t understand why that person did this kind of thing, it is not important. What is important is that, as the beneficiary of the existing order of the Gold Coin Federation, he absolutely cannot allow a full-scale civil war in the Gold Coin Federation!
That not only means that he will suffer a great loss, it also means a great danger.
The higher you stand, the heavier you fall, of course.
The Yuk family has reached the pinnacle of the gold coin federation, and it is impossible to reach higher, but the possibility of falling down is very high-he can be sure, regardless of his family’s dazzling brilliance, he can calculate it behind his back Planning, wanting to stab himself, even killing the Yuk family completely, feasting around the corpses, everywhere.
He must not allow that kind of thing to happen! Whether it is a mortal or a deity, if you want to make the Yuk family unlucky, it is his enemy!
So he didn’t wait for dawn, so he gathered the core members of the family and held a secret meeting. Then the eldest son was placed under house arrest in the secret room, and he came forward to contact the leaders of the aristocratic faction, and straightforwardly talked about making peace with the merchant.
Of course it hurts his image, and it hurts the Yuk family’s face, but now it doesn’t care about that.
Now, the conflict between the merchant group and the aristocratic group is only at the level of “friction” or “small conflict”. If you don’t take advantage of the situation to calm down now, and wait until the war is raging, then even the Yuk family will be helpless.
Looking at the noble leaders projected through magic communications, he secretly sighed and said: “Everyone, now and then, I was fighting fiercely because I felt that the battle would be good. But Now, I have got an important piece of information! This is the key to my change of mind.”
“What information?” Marquis Gordon, one of the two marquis, asked in a deep voice.
“The Northwestern Republic sent a joint exploration team to explore a mine with the merchants.”
“We’ve known this for a long time, what’s so great about that?” An earl laughed.
The Marquis of Uk sneered, and then said: “They found mythril mine in the mine.”
“The Mithril Mine… isn’t it a great thing,” said the earl who spoke just now.
The Marquis of Uk said blankly: “After verification, it was not the acquired mythril mine that was transformed from the ordinary silver mine due to magical infiltration, but the innate mythril mine that was born when the main plane was formed.”
The earl who had spoken twice just now was dumb, and the other earls couldn’t help taking a breath, even the Marquis Gordon couldn’t help frowning.
“Is this news reliable?” he asked.
“Of course it is reliable.” The Marquis of Uk said flatly.
Said this news is enough, as for the more important news, he will never reveal it to these people.
That involves the biggest secret of the Yuk family. As long as you keep that secret carefully, you can at least protect the family for thousands of years or even longer.
After a while, the Marquis of Gordon said in a deep voice, “Do you know the reserves of that vein?”
“What do you think of my spies?” Marquis Yuk laughed and asked back, “If they can even find out the reserves of that vein, can you still sleep peacefully at night? ?”
The Marquis of Gordon laughed twice, and didn’t mention it again.
There is a struggle between the local aristocracy and the central aristocracy, and of course there is also a struggle within the central aristocracy. The Marquis of Gordon and the Marquis of Uk are old rivals, and they belong to the kind of each other who “miss for you” (really want you to die). The ability of the spies under the Marquis of Uk to inquire about such confidential information has already made the Marquis of Gordon a little uneasy. If he can further inquire about the top-secret information on mineral vein reserves, it may not be difficult to inquire about the secrets of the Marquis of Gordon.
At least…the journey is a little closer.
Looking at the atmosphere a little embarrassing, an earl who had a good relationship with the Marquis Gordon hurriedly changed the subject: “The value of an innate mithril vein is very important, which will greatly strengthen the relationship between the Northwestern Republic and the merchant faction. At this time It is easy to get the attention of the Northwestern Republic by working with the merchant faction. It is indeed… very inappropriate.”
“Yeah, they must be nervous now. Once stimulated, it is easy to overreact. At least until the dust settles, the vein is mined and identified~IndoMTL.com~ Their emotions will ease. “The other earl said, “Even if you want to fight, you have to wait until then.”
Speaking, everyone’s eyes fell on Count “Good Horse”.
The Earl “Good Horse” is not actually surnamed “Good Horse”. The origin of this name goes back to the founder of their family. The Earl’s name is called “Good House” and his nickname is “Good Horse”. . Later, although their family’s official name was Earl House, the name “Good Horse” was so famous that everyone usually called them by this nickname.
Of course, this is also because they don’t care, and even proud of this title.
Currently, the conflict with the merchants is the Count “Good Horse” House. He originally wanted to attack the central nobles and demand some compensation for his assassination. Unexpectedly, he hadn’t negotiated any substantive issues with the nobles of the central faction. The merchant faction actually attacked him first, accusing his soldiers of attacking caravans and civilians across the border.
Earl House was in a bad mood at first, and when he was stimulated like this, he couldn’t help but became furious, and drove out the merchant’s messenger without saying a word.
As a result, the merchant Pait actually assembled an army at the border, as if he was going to fight a battle.
The “good horse” family has always been daring to fight and fight. If he doesn’t fight each other, the other party should be thankful, and now he dare to come to trouble him? !
To borrow a famous quote from Big Brother Illidan, who was whitewashed by Blizzard after Sui Xiong’s crossing, you are seeking your own death!
So he didn’t hesitate to align his arms and horses and confront the merchant party.
These days, the two sides have had two small-scale confrontations. Although the loss is not big, the anger is getting bigger and bigger.
At this moment, if the nobles want to negotiate a peace, his attitude becomes the key.
