Heaven’s Intention

Aps City. Government Affairs Hall

Viscount Eagle Edel strolled in.

Master Viscount! First of all. It was Knight Eberly, the leader of the Knights, who got up and said hello.

Those present were the barons, Baron Muroia, Baron Merham, Baron Perlandan, and Baron Rocas.

Seeing the barons, the Viscount sighed in his heart. Puckett County is divided into Upper Puckett, Middle Puckett, and Lower Puckett. There were originally seven barons in Lower Puckett, but now due to various reasons, only I got the above four.

The baron only needs to nod and salute to the viscount, showing a little respect.

In this world, except for the king, the titles are basically divided into seven classes.

Dukes, marquises, uncles, sons, and men are nobles who formally control a large amount of territory, and there are second-class lords (jazz) and knights below.

And in this world, titles can be awarded to women, giving women the power to inherit titles.

In this kingdom, the earl separates a county and is in charge of great power. Become a hereditary great feudal lord.

The Viscount, at first, was the Earl's deputy, but with the development of history, he has existed independently, but because of his independence, it is difficult to invite the Earl's assistance.

At this moment, the representative of the Mage Guild below, the eighth-level Mage Xiejisi, followed by the Jazz (Lord) family from the mainland, they were not in the scope of the collection, but they were within the scope of Apus City, so naturally they had to come.

What attracted attention was the famous scholar Merji. This guy was not an ordinary scholar. Behind him was the Church of Feline, the goddess of wisdom and knowledge, and behind him was a so-called singing union directly under him.

Everyone, you all know the situation outside, right? Viscount Eagle Edel glanced at him and said.

What followed was an unbearable silence.

It seems that the situation is really bad. Melji saw that everyone was silent, and said: The other party's abyss nobleman, whose name is Savinchu, of course, is just a small fragment of the devil's real name.

After breaking through the territory of Galle, this demon was successfully promoted to Baron of the Abyss, and the number of demons in the entire lower Paket area was concentrated, and the number was 20,000. There are more than 150 big demons, which is a huge trouble.

yes,

Dear Mr. Murji, that's why we have gathered here. Baron Miura said, We won't let it continue to develop, but how to stop it is a big problem. My lord, the count hasn't given a clear answer yet?

Oh? No, Lord Earl said that a similar situation has also occurred in the territory of Central Puckett, or two Abyss Barons appeared at once, so the situation here is to save yourself. Viscount Eagle Edel Answer with a wry smile.

Although he knew the result earlier, he heard with his own ears that the vicious words were still lingering on the lips of the nobles, but no one let it spew out, but secretly swallowed a mouthful of anger.

My lord Viscount, how sure are you of the current situation? How about the kingdom's current situation? Can we fight in a roundabout way? At this time, a middle-aged nobleman said.

Although the words were euphemistic, everyone knew what they were saying. It was asking whether they could keep the city, and secondly, whether they could find a way to escape.

This matter is related to their own lives, so everyone didn't think this question was absurd, and all looked at the Viscount.

Viscount Edel took a look at him and recognized him as a local lord. The fiefdom is not big, it is just a village, and the main income of the family comes from running two commercial firms. Although the territory is not big, it is still considered. He is a powerful nobleman.

Lord Arnold, please rest assured that this city will not be breached for a while. Viscount Edel responded indifferently, and glanced at the crowd: As for the roundabout question, is this what you want to ask?

In front of him, there were dozens of nobles, big and small, and those high-ranking knights were all calm as usual, while the secular nobles, although they did not lose their composure, changed their colors, which disappointed the Viscount very much.

Master Viscount Edel, it's not that we are cowardly, it's really... the demon army is too powerful! A small nobleman of a hereditary jazz. After a moment of silence, he spoke up.

Some of the people around looked at him with disdain, but more people also echoed.

Yes, Lord Viscount Edel, do you have anything to say about the kingdom?

The first responsibility of the nobility is to protect the family, followed by the protection of the territory and the title. As for the glory, it naturally comes later.

Quiet! A deep voice suddenly sounded in the hall, and everyone suddenly shut their mouths.

Viscount Edel looked at everyone coldly with his face down: You guys! You are usually smart, but you are so stupid now!

The deep voice could actually echo in the huge hall.

Hearing Viscount Edel say this, the noble didn't say anything on the surface, but couldn't help but twitched his mouth.

None of the nobles would really take the death of the kingdom seriously. After all, the safety and territory of their own family are the most important. In this world with strict hierarchy, only with higher titles and territories can they enjoy better life. Treatment, better protection of their own safety. The history of a family can be thousands of years, but the kingdom of this world may not be so long, so it is very natural to choose how to choose.

The reason why I say you are stupid is this. Don't think that you can escape if the city cannot be defended. I tell you that the Kingdom and the United Church have issued an order. Anyone who is in the city now, whether they are civilians or You must live and die with the city! Having said this, Viscount Edel couldn't help showing a cruel and helpless smile on his face: If anyone dares to challenge this decision, it is natural, maybe in their respective In the territory, the kingdom and the church can't do anything to you for a while, but retreating out of the territory and sending you to the stake is just a matter of words, the knights of the kingdom's internal affairs office are not just for display.

When it comes to the Knights of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, all the nobles are discolored. This is a department with a terrible reputation.

Viscount Edel hooked his lips, his eyes sparkled brightly, and his voice was full of sarcasm: Furthermore, even if you all have the skills to solve this problem, don't forget that there are churches, especially the Church of Glory. The Church of the Lord, they will be very satisfied to send some gentleman and his whole family to the stake!

When it comes to the Church of the Lord of Glory, the faces of all the nobles are even more ashen.

Master Viscount, they don't dare to blatantly meddle in the world! Someone protested weakly.

Don't dare? In peacetime, the various churches restrain each other, and the kingdom maintains its independence. It is true that they will not blatantly interfere in the secular world, but when is it now? It is a disaster, it is a war, and it means the intervention of the gods. At this time , the church dares to tear any of us who defy God’s words to pieces!” Viscount Edel said with a sneer, sitting on the main seat casually, sipping the wine in his glass as if nothing had happened.

All nobles understand that although these words are cruel, they are definitely not wrong.

Then what shall we do? Baron Rocas said at this moment.

If you want to survive, you must continue the family. If you are not afraid of the sanction of the church, we must unite, have strength, and make enough meritorious deeds. Yes, gentlemen, strength and prestige are very important at this time. Only in this way, We can survive instead of being eliminated! Viscount Edel said with a sneer: Everyone will know how many families were wiped out in the last disaster. Listen to my suggestion and use all your strength to concentrate. Win this war.

When Viscount Edel said this, he blinked slyly, lowered his volume suddenly, and showed a cold smile: Actually, we have already taken advantage of it. First of all, when we go down to Puckett, only one big demon comes out. As long as this time Victory, we can not only gain relative security, but also gain a lot of unclaimed territories, and most importantly, everyone who has spare power, can attack other counties in the name of salvation, gentlemen, if you have five hundred years Everyone in history should understand that during the last catastrophe, there were still many families that could rapidly expand their territories and titles!

Hearing this sentence, the nobles and knights below were in a commotion, and each carefully savored these questions.

The last question, is there any problem with us joining forces with the church in this battle? I don't want to be attacked. At this time, Baron Pei Landan calmly asked.

No, no matter what, the Lord of Radiance and other gods will not play tricks on this point. They can tell us to die, but if they go into battle, they will never hold back against the devil. That is blasphemy. Suddenly In the meantime, the viscount's voice carried a chill that reached the depths of his soul: So as long as we go into battle together, at this point in time, we can rely on them.

That's it, everyone present understood.

In this case, let's invite the representatives of the church to come to the meeting! At this moment, the Viscount twitched his lips in satisfaction. This was the effect he wanted.

Seeing that everyone had no objection, after a while, there was another small commotion outside the hall. Immediately, two rows of white teams cleared the way, and a red figure walked in the middle of the team, and soon appeared in the in front of everyone.

The representatives of the Church of the Lord of Radiance are here!

The person who came here accompanied by two teams of senior priests was the archbishop of this area. He still looked so peaceful and peaceful, but the viscount who met him saw anxiety in his eyes.

The Viscount couldn't help but sneered slightly, success and failure in the doctrine, no matter how powerful and cruel the Lord of Radiance is, the doctrine does not allow them to play some tricks when facing the devil.

My lord, you are welcome here.

Well, it's an honor to meet you too.

The two talked politely and hugged politely. Then, the viscount arranged the bishop on the chair under his left hand.

After that, a large number of bishops from various churches came, even the head of the knight order.

Nobles cannot be relocated, but the church can recruit strength in some areas where the disaster is not serious. This place is no exception. At least half or one-third of them are migrated from afar. Under normal circumstances, the nobles account for two-thirds of the strength. , But now, because the bishops and senior knights of various churches were present, putting a lot of pressure on everyone, these nobles sat in their chairs very honestly, and no longer dared to speak indiscriminately.

For a while, the atmosphere was a little dull, and finally, after the speeches of several senior knights, the atmosphere improved slightly.

...That's how things are. The thirteen knights, together with other armies, total about 10,000 people. They will have a decisive battle with the demon army outside the city. Friends present, I hope you don't just sit idly by. After all, the city If it is breached, you will not escape death! The Viscount spoke after obtaining the approval of the Bishop of the Shining Lord Church. (!)
