Do we have to downgrade ourselves to a principality
-
Young Lord Douglas accompanied Mozo as he walked through the ruins of Joffrey's camp.
Douglas's soldiers and vassals were all around, cleaning the battlefield and searching for the wounded.
As they walked, they arrived in front of Joffrey's main tent and looked at the royal flag still floating above the main tent.
Little Lord Douglas asked worriedly:
"Are you sure that the emperor will not attack us again?"
Mozo also glanced at the Heather royal flag above his head. After estimating the time, he thought that the Blue Hand Apostle should have delivered the handwritten letter he wrote in Cromwell's notebook to Queen Elis II.
Mozo said confidently:
"Please rest assured, good news will come soon."
Knowing that he has entered the game, Elis II will certainly be cautious and dare not go south again. The stability of the Douglas family should be worry-free for quite some time.
I was really looking forward to Elis II's expression when he saw the letter. He must be very angry and helpless. However, given his temperament, he would probably think about settling the score later, so we need to be on guard.
Upon hearing this, young Lord Douglas could only nod worriedly. He didn't think the emperor would give up so easily. After all, the Douglas family had completely divided Heather North and South!
This was really cool, but it was also really cowardly. After Luo Lanren left, he couldn't sleep well anymore.
How about I find an opportunity to cede some border to them? At least, don't let Heather be completely divided
147 Sea City, Witch, Contract (5k)
What happened next was actually very simple. The news that Elis II had gone mad and Heather recognized the independence of the Douglas family had already been passed on before Mozo and his men returned to Deerhorn Castle.
This made many of the Douglas vassal who were still preparing for a long battle stunned for a long time. We completely divided the north and south of Heather, and you just gave in after losing a game? !
But for Mozo, it was the news that Elis II had gone mad that surprised him even more.
When Verdani told him the news, Mozo was a little confused. After a long while, he stroked his chin and looked at Audrey and said:
"Do you think he's really crazy or just pretending to be crazy?"
Audrey, who was hesitating about eating the snack, was also stunned when she heard this:
"You don't know, how should I know?"
Upon hearing this, Mozo smiled and shook his head:
"Forget it, forget it. It doesn't matter whether Ellis is crazy or not. As long as he recognizes the independence of the Douglas family, that's all."
At this moment, the servant's voice suddenly came from outside the door:
"Your Excellency, Grand Duke Douglas invites you to the study for a meeting."
After hearing the word "Grand Duke", Mozo couldn't help but smile at the two girls.
"This guy changes his tune really quickly."
Verdani smiled and said:
"After all, he has become an independent monarch rather than a subordinate of anyone, so he is naturally happy to call himself the Grand Duke."
After that, Wei Erdani said carefully:
"But young master, you killed his father after all, so you'd better be careful. Before, he still needed to rely on you to check and balance the Heather people, but now I'm worried that he will have other ideas."
This sentence instantly caused Audrey to worry, and also made her throw away the snacks in her hand, because they were sent by the Douglas family.
Such behavior made Mozo look at Audrey with amusement and said:
"Grand Duke Douglas is not that desperate. And even if he is, you don't have to worry about your food. The luck of 1-86 is not so easy to circumvent."
Audrey looked at the seal on her wrist and said in surprise:
"Although I've felt it before, is it really so overbearing?"
Mozo nodded as a matter of course and said:
"The higher up the Luck Path Extraordinaries are, the less people want to deal with them, because that kind of all-pervasive luck is really a headache. But you must not regard this as a panacea, otherwise its predecessor would not have become a sealed item."
After saying that, Mozo turned to Wei Erdani and said:
"Well, let's go and hear what Grand Duke Douglas has to say."
When we arrived, we could see that Grand Duke Douglas was very happy. When he saw Mozo coming, he hurriedly stood up to greet him and said gratefully:
"If it weren't for your strong support, the Douglas family would never be as prosperous as it is today!"
Mozo looked carefully into the other person's eyes, and there was no trace of hatred in them.
This made Mozo feel helpless. Power is really a good thing that can make people forget everything.
After shaking the other person's hand casually and even with some disgust, Mozo watched Gawain and the others prepare to say goodbye and leave.
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Heather is always a threat to Roland, so we would love to weaken their power. But since your side is already stable, it's time for us to leave."
Then Mozo suddenly said:
"By the way, if you allow, we can send a high-sequence person to stay here for a long time. You just need to pay a certain amount of gold pounds."
But before Mozo could finish, Grand Duke Douglas smiled and rejected Mozo:
"That's not necessary. Demigod Dahl has agreed to convert to Buddhism in our Douglas family."
This news was beyond Mozo's expectations:
"Are you saying that the Dal demigod who is surrounded in your territory not only intends to surrender, but also wants to convert to your sect?"
Since the royal family had given up on marching south to attack the Douglas family, there was no need for the other party to hold on. However, directly converting their religion instead of surrendering and waiting for exchange was really beyond Mozo's expectations.
After all, his surrender at this time was an irreproachable act of helplessness. But changing religion would force Iris to kill his family.
Douglas nodded in agreement:
"Yes. Demigod Dal no longer intends to pledge allegiance to the so-called hero. He has decided to convert to our Douglas family! So we don't need the bigwigs of Loran to stay in our country."
After saying this, a hint of pride was clearly revealed in the corner of Grand Duke Douglas' eyes.
Having a foreign demigod stay in his country, even if it is not acceptable in terms of face, he will not sleep well.
So when Demigod Dal said he was willing to convert, Grand Duke Douglas almost jumped up with laughter.
Seeing that the other party was so happy, Mozo shrugged indifferently and said to him meaningfully:
"That's really good news. However, since Demigod Dal is willing to abandon his own family to stay with you, I'm sure you, Grand Duke, must have given him a huge reward!"
In response to this, Grand Duke Douglas first said with a smile:
"Of course, our Douglas family is not the Mad King Iris. We will give Demigod Dahl absolute generosity..."
As he spoke, the smile on the Grand Duke's face gradually disappeared. After a moment of silence, the Grand Duke looked at Mozo and said seriously:
"Respected Young Wolf Lord, I suddenly feel that just one demigod is not enough to guarantee the safety of our vast territory. So I hope to discuss with you the issue of your demigod's stay."
Seeing that the other party also realized the problem, Mozo smiled and pointed at the three demigods on his side and said:
"You should discuss this with the adults. After all, I am a 'dead man'."
This sentence made everyone present stunned. Especially Gawain and Hols, they looked at Mozo in surprise and said:
"Are you still not planning on returning to the North?"
Go back to the North? As the Young Wolf Lord? Are you kidding me? The old fox sacrificed himself so much to let me fake my death and escape. How could I be so stupid as to run back
Are you waiting for the gods to come over
But this is not something that can be said openly, so Mozo said very seriously:
"I still need to hide in the dark and do something. As for what exactly I will do, I can only say that I can't say it yet."
Seeing that Gao Wen and the others wanted to say something, Mozo said seriously:
"Please don't say anything to dissuade me, because this is also the will of me, uh, my ancestor, Lord Cromwell."
This immediately made the demigod Loran and even the old duke present lose the motivation to dissuade him.
The foresight of Lord Protector Cromwell was recognized by all of them. Since the Lord Protector had left such instructions, they should not make trouble.
Of course, this is also in the "interests" of Gawain and the old duke. One of them is counting on the queen to live out the rest of her life with regret, while the other is waiting for the truth to come out and Mozo to suffer.
So they looked at each other and said seriously:
"In that case, we will do our best to cover it up for you, but Heather and..."
As they spoke, they all looked at Grand Duke Douglas.
The other party immediately said:
"Please rest assured that we will fully cooperate with your request, but this requires you to come up with a good solution."
Seeing that the other party was so sensible, the old duke coughed and said:
“We will treat this incident as a precautionary arrangement made by little Cromwell before his death, and announce to the public that the person you saw was actually a Faceless Man with the appearance of little Cromwell, in order to severely retaliate against the Hathi people’s evil plan to wipe out their heirs!”
"In this way, as long as you are willing to cooperate, there should be no problem over there."
Mozo was also amazed at this. He thought to himself, why didn't I see that you are so capable before? As for Heather, don't worry, Iris has been driven crazy by him...
After thinking it over carefully, Mozo felt that this method was really good. He immediately smiled and stretched out his hand to the old duke and said:
"You are really very wise!"
For burning my treasured dolls, you old man, I will not count you for it, um, I will not count you for even one thousandth of it!
The old duke also smiled and held Mozo's hand:
"I just hope to make a small compensation for the Rose family's ignorance and brutality back then."
You lewd and filthy wolf cub, how dare you attack my two granddaughters? Haha, when the time comes, I will put the blame all on you and see who will be dumbfounded!
From a distance, it seems that both of them are very respectful to the elderly and loving to the young.
But the demigod Hols asked anxiously:
"What about your safety? It's not that I'm worried about Verdani, but given your status, you should at least have a demigod as your protector!"
Hearing this, Gao Wen also nodded in agreement:
"Why don't we find a reason to kick Gnas out in public? Otherwise, I would be worried if the young master doesn't have a demigod by his side. How about saying that he became the elf's dog?"
Mozo's scalp went numb when he heard this. As one of the famous guardians of the North, how could it be good if he was discovered to be following me
And bringing a demigod with him is too damn conspicuous! And is it really okay for you to arrange Gnas like this? Haven't you been colleagues for hundreds of years
But for a while, Mozo didn't know how to refuse, so he could only frown and say:
"No, Gnas needs to guard the White Horse Line. Didn't the elves say there were a lot of disturbances a while ago? Under such circumstances, we must not let the demigod leave his station."
This gave several demigods a headache. The elves were indeed making a lot of noise. Although they had never left the Sacred Tree Forest, this powerful and xenophobic race was indeed very disturbing.
But apart from Genus, given the extremely tight situation of Loran's high sequence, how can the safety of the young wolf lord be guaranteed
It was at this time that the old duke finally said with difficulty, looking grim:
"Wolf cub, hey, little Cromwell gave my granddaughter a high-sequence seal. I saw it, Jasmine can fight against a demigod with it. As long as the opponent is not planning to risk his life, it should be safe. Just... let Jasmine stay with you, wolf cub."
Although the old duke hated Mozo, the bastard who kidnapped his two granddaughters, he didn't really want to see him die, and he was even more unwilling to interfere with the dead old wolf's arrangements, because he found that the other party was truly a pure loyal subject of the empire, the iron wall of Loran.
Therefore, the "desperate" old duke had no choice but to hold his nose and let the knight lady return to Mozo.
But because of this, the old duke's expression became uglier the more he spoke, and in the end he simply refused to change his words.
But the other demigods, even Holmes and Gawain, did not express anything about the old duke's attitude, and even wanted to laugh in their hearts.
In this matter, any normal person knows who loses and who gains.
The old Wolf Lord had his treasure house burned down by the old Duke, so the young Wolf Lord kidnapped the Rose family's daughter. It can only be said that this is retribution in this life.
Mozo was very welcome to the return of Miss Knight, and now the four-member team was complete again.
It's a pity that it's not the classic warrior-mage-priest-thorn system. Otherwise, I could cosplay the brave team.
But the other two girls had mixed feelings.
The difference is that Audrey is naturally repulsive to other pretty girls because she gets jealous!
And Verdani looked at her sword somewhat dejectedly.
