Why did William go to the Rhine City to get his head
Of course, he wanted to prove his strength and his determination to target the Iron Duchy.
That assassination that almost everyone knew was the surrender, which was the basis for William's cooperation with Nadrick.
The Principality of Steel has always caused trouble at the border and created tensions about an upcoming attack, but this was done intentionally by Steel. They wanted to delay time far more than the Principality of Black Rock.
Because Godenasi still wanted to deal with the remaining nobles, and even planned to recruit the chosen ones to serve them.
Delaying time seems to be beneficial to both, but the longer the Steel Duchy delays, the more stable the domestic situation will be, and the Steel Duchy, which has the majority of its troops, will be stronger. However, Black Rock sacrifices some losses and takes the initiative in advance, which often results in negative consequences. will be better.
Naderik must also know some of the internal situations in the Iron Principality, but he is not so courageous. He also wants to use gentle means to solve the problem of the throne.
Now that William, an outsider, has revealed the mystery, he naturally understands that time is more pressing. If he can decisively send troops, many unexpected things may happen.
For example, will the unwilling nobles of the Iron Principality have the courage to rebel
Inside the black palace.
Nadrick looked at the sand table and gradually raised the corner of his mouth: "If we really capture the Iron Principality, why does the Lord of Dawn City think that I will give him one-third of the spoils?"
Renekton said solemnly: "With the large number of Chosen Ones and his own identity, of course as a neutral lord, he will not ask for land."
"Do you think that even if 50,000 chosen ones appear on the battlefield at the same time, they can destroy an army?"
Renekton said again: "No, those Chosen Ones are just a bunch of loose sand, not the combined enemy of any legion.
Even though they will be resurrected after death, I have paid attention to them. Some people don't want to fight even if they die, and their strength has been weakened a lot, which shows that they are very timid. "
"Then do you think Marquis Chris will really obey his orders?"
Renekton hesitated for a moment and said, "No, it's just that in the face of the general situation, Marquis Chris must be completely loyal to you."
Nadrick, who was dressed in black robes, smiled, and he smiled very happily: "A half-elf with dirty blood? Why should I share the results of the battle with him? I will keep the spoils on this land. How dare he lead his troops here?" Rob?"
"Your Majesty is wise." Renekton knelt on one knee, his eyes filled with admiration.
… … … …
William didn't know what Nadrick was thinking, and he didn't care whether he would abide by the agreement.
At this time he had arrived at the house of a count.
A young man in a gorgeous black robe was serving him tea and wine.
William took a sip of the fruit wine and smiled casually: "Curry, you are an earl. It would be very shameless for your servants to see you doing this."
Curry glanced at the scantily clad female slaves, waved his hand for them to go down, and smiled nonchalantly: "My respect for the Lord is like a mortal facing a god. It is far beyond what can be expressed by serving tea and pouring wine. I also hope that the lord Your Majesty understands.”
"Curry!"
"Yes." When Curry saw William's serious tone, he immediately stood up and came to his side to listen.
William played with the wine glass and suddenly said: "Do you just want to be an earl in this life?"
"Gudong"
Curry swallowed and said excitedly: "I still want to be a marquis..."
"Just the Marquis?" William sighed in disappointment, stood up and left.
"Sir!" Curry suddenly knelt on one knee in front of William, clenched his fists and whispered: "I have 1,000 soldiers under my command, and they are not very strong. I know how strong a person is before he can have an equal. Ambition.”
At this point, Curry looked at William with shining eyes and continued: "But I believe in you, sir. If you support me, I can stand higher and see further. I also believe that you don't just want me to be the leader." A marquis."
William sat back on the chair and said playfully: "Then what do you think I want you to do?"
"The master wants me to be your dog. If the master wants me to be a marquis, I will be a marquis. If the master wants me to be a duke, I will be a duke. But no matter what, I am the master's dog." Curry was lying on the ground. , eyes full of desire for power.
If you are not a real noble, you will never know how great it feels to have power!
That's right.
It’s just cool!
This is a very simple word.
But it expresses everything more clearly.
You can imagine that the most beautiful woman in the territory, a goddess in the eyes of others, will crawl into your bed in the middle of the night and use every means to please yourself.
You can refer to a deer as a horse, and people below your rank will flatter you, saying that you are right, and that the deer is a horse.
You can do whatever you want, you are the king of your territory.
Provided that these rights only take effect within their own territory.
Curry wants to have greater rights!
William also smiled, almost the same smile as Nadrick. He lifted Curry's chin with his toes, looked into his lustful eyes, and chuckled: "Remember, to be a dog, you have to Understand, even if you are the future king, you are still my dog, and you are just a dog whose rights have been emptied.
Well, it's still a bit difficult to be a king, but at least you can become the most powerful person under the king. "
Curry almost trembled and lay on the ground, kissing William's shoes constantly, and even seemed to be focused on licking all the dust off the shoes.
William kicked him away and raised his eyebrows: "Tell Marquis Chris that I will see him in the Royal City tomorrow night, and I will see him alone."
"Understood, I'll do it right away." Curry stepped back in a crawling manner until he reached the door before standing up and leaving.
Because after leaving this door, he is still a nobleman who is unattainable to common people.
Curry has discovered William's ambition since the first transaction with William.
In the next year, William's ambition was like the City of Dawn, rapidly expanding and becoming stronger, even rivaling two human principalities.
Curry understands one thing.
This half-elf prince not only has the support of the elf royal family, but also has the ambition of a human being.
At least, Curry believes that if he bets right, then he can really become a marquis below one person and above ten thousand people, and even have a chance to become a king.
And Curry also deeply understands that if he does not change, then this count should be at the end, and climbing up again... will be as difficult as climbing to the sky.
But he has ambition and the ambition to keep climbing!
that power!
How fascinating is this
Only when you have the power can you taste the wonderful taste of having rights.
This is also the key reason why many people in power do not want to give up their power even when they are old enough to die.
"From the master's step-by-step plan, it seems that he wants to cause a war and let the two countries go to war and profit from it. But what method does the master intend to use to make both principalities fall into his hands?" Curry couldn't figure it out.
He also knew that this was not what he should think about. His strength was average, so he was like a dog, trying his best to coax Marquis Chris over.
William watched Curry leave, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
The aristocratic system is not very good, but he likes it very much and has never had any intention of overthrowing the aristocratic system.
"Now that I have become an NPC, I have to understand one thing. I only have one life!"
William stood up and narrowed his eyes: "If you want to control your own destiny, you need to first become the master of power and power."
He clenched his fist, and the power inside could destroy ordinary walls. He shook his head: "It's not enough. Power and power are far from enough. If you don't even have the ability to break down a city wall, what does it mean in this world?"
"What I want is more than just that simple..." William walked outside the door and looked up at the sky. No one knew how big his ambition was.
Maybe,
How high is the sky...
How ambitious is it
Maybe.
It's far from that simple.
