"What are you talking about...?" Even Earl Quin, who had seen many storms, was shocked by this sentence.
What surprised him was not "the new Lord of the Dawn", but "commissioned by His Majesty Roland Wimbledon". A word can be said by many people, but the words are different even without changing the word.
Horn expressed the same meaning before, but he clearly understood that it was impossible to break free from the control of the Moa royal family by the power of the family alone, and the so-called standing up was just an unrealistic fantasy.
However, when the speaker became the King of Greycastle, there was power in the words.
"Just as you thought," probably because of the news of her mother's death, Andrea's tone was no longer as sharp as before, "His Majesty Roland neither wants Ampere Moya to continue to sit on the throne, nor does he want to watch To a neighboring country that is constantly at war. In order to stabilize the situation as soon as possible, it is necessary to support an undisputed new king."
Knowing that he heard correctly, the count murmured, "Why me?"
"He didn't have many acquaintances in Dawn, so he chose me at first, but I refused."
Is it for this reason
Because the daughter refused, he lost the throne to the daughter's father, which was like a child's play... But unexpectedly, Horford felt that the other party was not joking.
Although Amperin strictly forbade anyone to talk about the failure of the Battle of Hermes, there were too many nobles involved in it, and it was impossible to completely ban it. Horford knew very well that the enemy that Ampere encountered was not the Church, but the Graycastle, which was also looting the Holy City. The army of 10,000 people was defeated almost in a single encounter, and many participants could not even tell how they were defeated. I only saw the thunder and thunder of the sky constantly falling over the head. Whether it was an unprotected serf or a knight in full armor, they were all reduced to ashes in the flames.
If the source is correct, it means that the power of Greycastle has exceeded the imagination of the nobles. With such a comparison of power, it does not seem unreasonable to decide who will be the king of a neighboring country like a child's play.
The only question is, why didn't he do it himself
"If the Dawn nobles are willing to put all their troops together and have a head-to-head contest with him, he will definitely consider this option." Andrea seemed to have long known that the earl would ask such a question, "Simply come Said that His Majesty Roland has more important enemies to deal with at present, and he has no time to spend three or four years to bring the entire Dawn into the Kingdom of Greycastle. After all, it is easy to destroy the ruling power of the nobles, but it is a long process to restore order. "
"More importantly... the enemy?"
"That's right, devil." Andrea said slowly, "Otto Pasi should have mentioned to you that everything the church does is for the news of a doomsday war, and that's just the tip of the terrifying secret. . The name of this war is "Divine Will", and it has been going on for nearly a thousand years. "
After listening to his daughter's story, Earl Horford felt a cold sweat on his back.
It turns out that the four prosperous kingdoms, including Chen Xi, are actually corners that are not worth mentioning? In a situation where mankind has failed twice in a row, and if it loses again, it will be doomed, how dare Roland Wimbledon take on such a heavy burden to compete with an unbelievably powerful enemy for the ownership of divine will
How much will and courage does it take
Just thinking about it made him feel like he was about to lose his breath.
"Why?" said the Count in a trance. "What's in it for him? Isn't he afraid of failure?"
"I don't know..." Andrea sighed, "His Royal Highness Tilly also mentioned this, but her statement is even more puzzling."
"What did she say?"
"It's more for himself than for human beings..." she hesitated, "as if he was looking for a new challenge and we were just the beneficiaries of chance."
The count did not answer, because he did not know what to answer. He has seen too many high-ranking nobles, but none of them are similar to Roland Wimbledon. In the end he had to skip the question and go back to the main path, "Then what do I need to do? Fight for him?"
"It's not necessary," Andrea shook her head, "You just need to maintain the stability of Dawn, and then provide certain assistance to Graycastle, such as population, ores and other resources. As for the specific content, he will send someone to come. Talk to you in detail."
Hearing that there was a price, Horford was relieved. If the other party just blindly wanted to support the Quinn family, he would have to wonder if there was a huge conspiracy. Of course, even if it is a conspiracy, judging from the current situation of the family, I am afraid that there is only one way to go.
The refusal of the disease is just a means of delaying, to achieve a balance between Amperin and the nobles of various places. If those nobles can really overthrow the Moa family, the Quinn family will undoubtedly be excluded from the circle of power in the capital because of such a standoff. This is the best result. If someone wants to fight the idea of the three major families, it is not difficult to assign them to the die-hard faction of the royal family with a little exaggeration.
This is a rare opportunity.
What's more, the matchmaker is Andrea.
She may hate herself, but she will never take the initiative to push the family into a fire pit.
Thinking of this, Earl Horford immediately made a decision.
"Please tell His Majesty Wimbledon that I am willing to serve the King of Greycastle." He said sternly. Although he was facing his own daughter, she was now the king's messenger, so the count meticulously bowed his head slightly in accordance with the nobility's breaststroke, "I don't know when he will take action? It will take at least two to three months to prepare.”
Even if Ampein cuts his power over the patrol, he is confident that he will quietly let dozens of people in. After all, as the former Prime Minister of the two kings, his influence still exists. The Count believed that those foreign nobles who wanted to win over him also took a fancy to this.
According to the strength that Graycastle showed in the war, dozens of people were enough to control a city gate.
But Andrea's words still greatly exceeded his expectations.
"Since you have agreed, we will act now," she wrote lightly, "His Majesty Roland has emphasized that this is not a political assassination, but a complete defeat of Ampere in front of everyone, not only for everyone to see The rule of the Moa family is over, and it has to convince all the nobles who are just around the corner."
"Now?" The Count doubted his ears for a while, "How is that possible?"
"Do you know how I got in here?" Andrea spread her hands, "Come in from the main entrance. Those guards did want to stop me, but unfortunately they couldn't."
Horford immediately realized that the friends she brought were the key to it. It wasn't hard to say how difficult it was to break into the Count's Palace in the capital, after all, this was not his territory. But it is difficult to be silent, which means that the two sides are instantly divided.
There is no doubt that this is not something Andrea can do, and each of those guards wears the Stone of God's Punishment.
"Once you meet them, you will naturally dispel all doubts," she continued, "so what the Quinn family has to do now is to make this noise as loud as possible. All eyes are focused on this. At that time, Amperin Moa will have to come out and face you in person."
