It was also at this time that the military tent where Gao Wen and his men were was suddenly opened.
Then, when Gawain and the others were looking over with frowns on their faces, the old duke with a gloomy face walked out.
Looking at the old duke like this, some nobles couldn't help but put their hands on the hilt of the sword.
Gao Wen also raised his eyebrows and said seriously:
"What are you doing here? I remember that I informed the guards that this is our meeting within the Northland, right?"
"If you don't have any serious business, please get out immediately!"
The old duke stood still upon hearing this, then looked at everyone present with disgust on his face.
Such an expression made the faces of the people from the Northern Territory present even uglier.
As the only angel family in Loran, the Rose family was not surprised by what the other party knew.
And the timing of his arrival was just so coincidental. His face looked so grim.
It was hard not to think that the old duke came here with some bad purpose.
But in the end, the old duke said to Gawain and the others with a dark face:
"The Windsor Lords stand with the North. No matter what!"
This answer formed a stark contrast with the other party's obviously unhappy expression.
So much so that many Northern nobles couldn't help but pick their ears on the spot, wondering if they had heard it wrong.
Even Gawain was stunned for a long time before he said uncertainly:
"What did you say?"
The old duke's face became darker and darker as he said:
"I said that the Rose family will always stand with the Wolf family! You should also know what that wolf cub is going to do, right? Well, tell me what your plans are! I can also see how to cooperate with you!"
Seeing that they had not heard wrongly, all the people from the Northern Territory looked strange.
Since you are here to form an alliance, why do you look so unhappy
Gnas also followed and said:
"Please believe that we have no doubts about your intentions, but can you tell us what happened? After all, you are really..."
Genus did not say the rest of the words, but everyone knew what he was going to say. After all, the old duke's expression and tone did not seem like someone who was here to form an alliance.
The old duke naturally knew what the other party meant. He also knew that his current appearance was not very convincing.
But what can he do
Both of his granddaughters were taken away by wolf cubs. How could he remain calm
However, the old duke knew that this was not the time to act on impulse. Although his face was still very grim, he still gave a reason that would definitely convince Gawain and the others:
"Why? Why else? The Rose family will belong to your Wolf family from now on! Why else could it be!"
The old duke still overestimated his ability to cultivate his energy, for he blurted out these words in a rage before the man could finish his sentence.
Although it was still incoherent, it was enough for most people in the North to understand what was happening.
Is the eldest daughter of the Rose family going to marry the young master? ?
Otherwise, why would he say that the Rose family will belong to the Wolf family in the future? And if that were to happen, the only legitimate heir to the Rose family, Little Rose Catherine, would have to marry the Young Wolf Lord.
Although Miss Jasmine should take over Catherine's position as the heir to the Rose family, everyone knows what the situation is between Jasmine Windsor and Mozzo Cromwell...
That is to say, the only two legitimate heirs of the Rose family were hanged on a tree...
And it was impossible for the Young Wolf Lord of the North to marry into the Rose family, so the only way was to merge the two duchies according to the ancient aristocratic laws.
Of course it's a marriage, but they all think a more accurate term would be a private marriage, right? Probably...
The old duke probably felt that his words were not convincing enough, so he angrily threw the letter written by Little Rose in Gawain's face, and spit on his face, saying:
"Look for yourself what that wolf cub of yours has done!"
After Gao Wen wiped his face, he quickly opened the envelope and read it. The others also hurried over to see what was going on.
Although they could make a rough guess, curiosity still made them move closer. This was probably the nature of people liking to watch the fun.
Little Rose's letter also explained the plot of King Andal, which Gawain and the others had known for a long time.
But when they saw Little Rose said that she was pregnant with Mozo's child.
Gawain and other northern nobles were also in an uproar.
How long has it been since the young master went to the Fog City, and he has already captured the only direct descendant of the Rose Family
No wonder the old duke was so angry that he looked like a pig. If it were them, it would be hard for them to accept this.
But they were not the old duke, they were the direct beneficiaries, so instead of feeling angry, they felt like laughing.
But looking at the old duke with a frown on his face, everyone was in an awkward situation of wanting to laugh but not daring to.
Gawain could only put away the envelope, pretend to cough, adjust his facial expression, and then said to the old duke:
"If that's the case, then, there really shouldn't be any problem. And with the full support of the Rose family, I think there won't be any major mistakes this time!"
After saying that, Halls suddenly said:
"If the Rose Family and the Wolf Family, the last two powerful dukedoms in the empire, stand together, can the rest of the legions also strengthen their positions?"
This question caused deep thought among everyone present.
The Duze Dynasty has a strong deterrent effect on mortals, but the last two powerful dukes of Loran openly opposed the words of Emperor Andal.
It is indeed possible to get many nobles to follow them.
After all, no matter how powerful the Du Ze Dynasty is, it is still a distant target.
The nobles whose roots were in the North and Windsor had to seriously consider who they should side with.
Especially when the old duke, the only angel in the empire, is on their side.
The old duke took a deep breath and began to think seriously. Then he said:
"The Douglas family is in a stalemate with the Heather people because of the support of the Merchant Alliance. With the Douglas family as a constraint, the Heather people will not take any action against us in the short term."
"If the Duze Dynasty wants to end, their army will have to borrow a passage from neighboring countries no matter how fast it is. This is the result of a lot of calculations."
The old duke raised his head and said to Gawain and the others:
"It can be said that in the short term, our voice is almost the highest in the entire empire. And we can also use this to coerce the rest of the legions to join us."
"Although we cannot predict whether they will side with Emperor Andal and the Duze people in the future, at least in the short term they can only follow us."
"So what exactly is Wolf Cub going to do?"

What exactly is Mozo going to do? As soon as this sentence came out, everyone in the North fell silent.
The Young Wolf Lord only asked them to declare the North independent in order to buy time for him in the Fog City.
But it must be said that they really don't think that the Foggy City is something that Mozo and his two or three cats can handle.
At least just Emperor Andal alone made Gawain and the others wonder how the young master should deal with him.
Although the young master said that he still had the Queen to rely on, if there was no problem with the Queen, why would even the Mist City fall into the control of Emperor Andal
Seeing everyone so silent, the old duke said helplessly:
"Well, even you don't know what the wolf cub is going to do."
But soon the old duke cheered up and said to everyone:
"If you don't know, then you don't know. We also have our own things to do. Let's gather the generals of the Southern Legion and those lords."
The old duke's idea was simple, that is, since he didn't know what the wolf cubs were going to do in the foggy city, he should first do the things assigned to them.
Emperor Andal wanted to become a god by playing word games, so they would directly cut off the foundation of the empire, thereby directly denying the ritual basis of Emperor Andal.
This is what Mozo wants them to do.
However, due to the entry of the Rose family, this effect was far beyond Mozo's expectations.
When all the southern generals and nobles were summoned, the old duke did not give them any chance to respond and said to them directly:
"I can confirm that Her Majesty has been imprisoned by the traitor."
Just one sentence plunged the already quiet conference hall into deathly silence.
The old duke did not want to give this group of people a chance to think and continued:
"Then the Rose Family and the Wolf Family have decided to form an alliance. Mozo Cromwell will be the grandson-in-law of my old man and the only legitimate heir to the Windsor Territory. Yes, Mozo is not dead, and everything that happened before was just a small scheme."
Without the old duke giving them any chance to react, the many southern nobles present were all stunned by the bombshell news that came one after another.
There are even many people who are secretly pinching their arms to see if they are dreaming.
"After discussion, the Rose Family and the Wolf Family will declare independence immediately after this meeting."
This time, all the southern nobles finally could not sit still anymore.
Regardless of whether Her Majesty the Queen was under house arrest or not, the key question is why the last two powerful dukes in the empire chose independence at this time
But the old duke still didn't intend to give these nobles any chance to speak. He directly used his Sequence 2 ability as a musician - Silent Theater.
Silent Theater, as the name suggests, turns an area into one's own theater, thus making all the sounds and even the abilities and rules within the theater silent.
But the old duke didn't do that, he just silenced everyone's voices, letting them look at him helplessly and then sit back in their original positions.
"I know you all have a lot of questions, but please listen to what I have to say first! The person who has imprisoned Her Majesty the Queen has been confirmed to be the first emperor of the empire - Emperor Andal."
"I'm not going to exaggerate how evil the other party is, or how shameful the motives for imprisoning the Queen are. I can tell you the truth, Emperor Andal's goal is to become a god, and the Queen's purpose of imprisoning her is to sacrifice our Majesty."
"In order to disrupt the other party's plan, Mozo and I discussed and decided to make our territory independent, so that there would be a fatal flaw in Emperor Andal's ceremony and we could use this to buy precious time."
"That's all I have to say. I called you all here just to explain these things. We are all vassals of Her Majesty Isabel. If you plan to join us later, the Rose Family and the Wolf Family will naturally welcome you."
"If you think this is too absurd and untrustworthy, that's fine. The soldiers from our two families will never stop you from leaving the North. We are even willing to send troops to escort you home."
"But I will only say one thing, that is, we welcome you to join us, and we understand your desire to leave, but we cannot allow you to join us and then think of betraying us!"
"So if you plan to join us in rebelling against Emperor Andal in order to rescue our loyal Queen Isabelle, then you'd better make sure you can carry this out from beginning to end! Otherwise, you will definitely regret it!"
After saying this, the old duke tapped the table lightly to end the silent theater. Then he put his hands together in front of him and looked at the people below.
"Now, please tell me your choice!"
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other and then drew their swords and shouted:
"Be loyal to Her Majesty the Queen!"
"Swear allegiance to Her Majesty the Queen until death!!!"
Emperor Andal was the first emperor of Loran. He had the legitimate right to rule Loran, but this was no longer his era. After so many years, the Loran nobles would naturally not recognize his legitimacy without any major external interference.
Therefore, under the old duke's promotion, the legions and nobles brought to the north by him all chose to follow him without any time to think about anything!
No matter who Roland belongs to at this moment, it can be said that he lost two-thirds of his territory in an instant!
When this news was brought back to the Fog City by the horrified nobles of the old Seven Kingdoms.
The middle-aged Emperor Andal, who was sitting in the audience hall, had just received the news that the Rose family and the Huai En family had suddenly left.
It was speculated that the other party should be Emperor Andal who escaped from the secret passage of Rose's house. He was still thinking about whether to send people to chase him.
But then he saw an old noble from the Seven Kingdoms stumbling in with a secret report:
"It's bad, Your Majesty! It's bad, Your Majesty!"
Looking at his panicked subordinates, Emperor Andal raised his eyebrows and said:
"If you're saying that someone from the Rose family is missing, then I think you can shut up."
While Emperor Andal was speaking, the noble had already fallen to his knees in front of Emperor Andal.
He held up the secret report and said in horror:
"No, it's not that. Your Majesty, it's those bastards who went to the North. Those shameful bastards actually chose to betray the country!"
Then, the noble pointed to the north and said:
"They, they actually declared independence!"
