Marquis Garcia's icy eyes slowly swept across the faces of the northern lords, but no one dared to look at him.
No one dared to answer his question just now.
Those lords who originally wanted to dissuade Marquis Garcia from declaring war on the church at this moment all bowed their heads and remained silent.
There was no way, because Ke Lin's murderous appearance just now really frightened them.
Four families have already been deprived of their titles and territories. Will there be more
They had already grasped the resolute will of the guardian of the northern border, so naturally they didn't dare to make trouble at this time and become the target of the other party's killing chickens and monkeys.
Of course, although they didn't dare to object, no one took the initiative to express their approval.
In fact, this can't be blamed on the lack of loyalty of the northern lords. It is really that the timing is not suitable this time, and the target of the declaration of war also makes everyone feel trembling.
But their silence made Marquis Garcia a little bit embarrassed.
Seeing the atmosphere getting more and more embarrassing, and the disappointment and anger in the eyes of Marquis Garcia getting stronger and stronger, Colin finally sighed secretly, took a step forward, and said:
"Why don't you talk? You can put forward any opinions."
Seeing that no one dared to respond, Colin immediately began to roll the roll:
"Count Uman, what's your opinion?"
Earl Uman heard Colin calling his name, so he had no choice but to step forward. He wanted to persuade him a little, but a real coercion immediately enveloped him. This feeling seemed to come from the depths of his blood. The suppression made Earl Uman feel deep fear.
So, this Colin's descendant and brother-in-law quickly swallowed the words that just came to his lips, and changed his words:
"The Uman family will always follow in the footsteps of the St. Hilde family!"
Only then did Colin show a satisfied smile, and then he named another person from the crowd and asked:
"Count Schulz, what's your opinion?"
Earl Schulz immediately enjoyed the treatment of Earl Uman. As a blood descendant, she could clearly feel her master's unshakable will at this moment. Therefore, the beautiful countess looked at him with anger and joy. Colin threw a subtle wink and said respectfully:
"The Schulz family is also willing to follow in the footsteps of the St. Hilde family!"
Two earls in a row expressed their agreement, and the atmosphere in the knight hall suddenly eased a lot.
Ke Lin didn't seem satisfied yet, so he asked by name again:
"Lord Dawson, what's your opinion?"
At this time, Earl Dawson was shrinking in the crowd. He was short in stature, and thought he could escape the cold eyes on the stage, but unexpectedly, he was called by Colin.
So, the dwarf count had no choice but to walk out of the crowd with a bitter face.
During the previous Northern Rebellion, the Dawson family was badly dealt with by Colin because of their participation in the dwarf rebellion. The previous Earl Dawson died tragically in front of the battle. The family army was almost completely lost, and the title was also relegated from the Marquis. Earl, this is Vera's act of forgiveness in order to stabilize people's hearts.
Now that Earl Dawson felt trembling when he saw Colin, and the two earls had already expressed their support, he could only say in a muffled voice:
"The Dawson family is also willing to follow in the footsteps of the St. Hilde family."
Colin nodded with satisfaction, and then turned his gaze to a new earl who had just joined the northern border—Earl Hall.
Earl Hall understood, and without waiting for Colin to ask, he immediately stepped forward and said loudly:
"The Hall family will always follow in the footsteps of the St. Hilde family!"
As a newcomer, Earl Hall knew how to express his position. What's more, in the heart of Earl Hall, who had witnessed Colin's prowess in the East, this young guardian of the North might not lose to the Pope.
Now the atmosphere in the hall has completely changed.
The four earls in the northern border all expressed their support, which made the rest of the minor nobles even more afraid to speak out against it.
The Marquis of Garcia also took a deep look at Colin next to him at this time, as if for the first time he truly realized the terrifying influence this young guardian of the northern border had.
If it is the kind of ruler who is seriously suspicious, I am afraid that he has already begun to feel jealous at this time.
But the Marquis of Garcia is not a politician, and Colin is also his most recognized successor, and even the husband of his own daughter.
According to the Marquis of Garcia, if Vera fell into eternal sleep, then Colin should be in charge of the Northern Territory.
This time he took the initiative to stand up. On the one hand, he wanted to avenge his daughter himself, and on the other hand, he was worried that Colin was too young to control the situation.
But now Marquis Garcia felt that he seemed to be worrying too much.
At present, even the Marquis Garcia himself felt a little tricky, but Colin resolved it lightly.
"Who has any opinions?" Ke Lin scanned the audience, seeing that no one was speaking, he reminded again, "If you have opinions, you can express them now. If anyone dares to question or back down after the war, don't blame me. Don't talk about affection!"
Colin's cold words made the northern lords present couldn't help but shudder, and when they were struggling, a figure stood up—
Mrs. Grace!
"Marquis Garcia, Count Angelet, I have a question."
"Please tell me." Colin could only force a smile and said.
Mrs. Grace is actually a representative of the Morrison family, but at this time the Morrison family has already been deprived of the title of earl, and has sworn allegiance to Colin, so just now Colin didn't ask Seken Morrison at all. Opinion.
The opinion of the Morrison family, to be honest, is not important now.
However, Mrs. Grace was a little special.
After all, her surname is St. Hilde, and she is also the aunt of the Marquis of Garcia, who has a high prestige in the northern border. She stood up to express her opinion at this time, and Colin had to deal with it carefully.
Those northern lords who were unwilling to go to war with the church also secretly breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and all cast their expectant eyes on Mrs. Grace's not tall back, as if it was their only hope now.
Mrs. Grace did not hide the worry on her face, and asked a key question in a deep voice: "I would like to ask, what evidence can prove that the mastermind behind the conspiracy to assassinate the Duke of St. Hilde and cause her to fall into a coma is Pope Gregory?" His Majesty Li Gaorui?"
The Marquis of Garcia immediately replied, "This was admitted by Cardinal Tournance before he died. Count Angelet and I were both present."
Mrs. Grace nodded, but did not stop there, but continued:
"Of course I won't question the honesty of you and Count Angelet, but is it possible that Tournance put the charge of murdering the Duke of St. Hilde on the Pope's crown just to beg you to forgive him
After all, the words of such a despicable person who assassinated the Duke are really unbelievable. "
Marquis Garcia frowned, not knowing how to respond to Mrs. Grace's question for a while.
