Chapter 36

Seeing the people brought over by Krell, Arthur was really a little surprised.

"Why are you here?" Arthur stood up and walked in front of the visitor.

Gris, who was constantly on the road and looked a little dusty, looked at Arthur who was walking towards him, and then looked around the surrounding environment, with a wry smile on his face, "I originally thought...but now it seems that I was unnecessary .”

Arthur glanced behind Gris and Krell asked expressionlessly, "How do you say that?"

Gris looked a little tired at the moment, and he still looked at Arthur with a smile, "The general should already know what's going on in the main city? Otherwise, I wouldn't have moved here from Irma, so I'll rush to Irma with all my heart." Wouldn’t it be superfluous for Erma to report to the general?”

Arthur smiled, without denying it, he just told Krell, "Take Mr. Gris down and have a good rest."

Krell, who had been pretending to be an invisible man, stepped forward and saluted, "Yes."

"Do you think I'm so stupid and ridiculous?" Krell stepped forward to take Gris down, but Gris didn't move, looking straight at Arthur and asked.

Arthur met Gris' persistent gaze, and motioned to Krell, and after Krell quietly left, Arthur said, "Mr. I am very grateful to you for reporting in consideration of safety, and I will report your contribution to the city lord when the situation subsides."

"General Arthur, you know that's not what I'm talking about," Gris suddenly didn't want to talk to Arthur in the cloudy way of talking between nobles, he wanted a result, an answer, "you know , it’s just that you’ve been pretending to be confused.”

Arthur didn't want to talk about something completely inappropriate with Gris at this time. He said with a polite smile on his face, "Mr. Gris, you should be exhausted from the long journey. You should go down and have a good rest."

Gris has never hated the distant smile on Arthur's face more than now. He strode forward and leaned close to Arthur, staring at Arthur's gray-blue eyes and asked word by word, " How am I inferior to him? Why did you choose him in the end?"

Arthur was a little annoyed, but he still didn't show it on his face, "Mr. Gris..."

"Where am I inferior to him? Is my family background inferior to his? Is my appearance inferior to his? Is my ability inferior to him?" Gris interrupted Arthur and asked emotionally, "Is he really a distant relative of Mr. Heller? He Do you really think that everyone doesn’t know about his origin? He is a waste of unknown origin, family, background, and background who can’t help you. Why would you choose such a useless person rather than be like other nobles? How about choosing a partner who will be of great help to you and your family? Or are you just temporarily fascinated by him?"

Arthur quietly listened to Gris's venting words, then took a deep look at Gris, and took a step back to distance himself from the other party, the expression on his face was still so calm, "Gris Sir, what you are talking about is my partner, who is also the young master of my white tiger family. I hope you can maintain due respect for him. My feelings and my choices are all decided by me , what I like about him, what I like about him, as long as I understand it in my heart, other people's thoughts and opinions have nothing to do with me. Mr. Gris, I still want to say something to you, for Kevin, I love He, respect him, he is the only partner in my life. This is something I have already determined from the beginning. I hope you can respect my partner, if not, then please stay away from him, I don't like it Hear bad words about Kevin from anyone's mouth. Finally, the selection criteria in your heart are not necessarily the selection criteria of others. I still thank you very much for going to Irma for the city lord and the people of the main city. Please Rest well, and when everything subsides, I will send you home intact." He said and motioned for Krell, who had already stood outside the door, to take Gris down to rest.

Gris stared blankly at Arthur for a long time, pursed his lips and left without saying a word.

Arthur looked at Gris' back and sighed helplessly.

Politics is a game played by a few people, at least for the people in Roatan City. When the temperature gradually rises and more and more shoots are drawn from the branches, people have gradually recovered from the loss of Aubrey. The city lord recovered from his grief, and with the spring, he re-invested in a life of good expectations for the future.

Compared with the hustle and bustle of the street market, the palace where the supreme ruler of the country lives does not seem to belong to the scope of the bright spring. The palace is full of suffocating tension, and it should have appeared in the discussion area. Warren, the lord of the temple, also disappeared. Standing next to the seat that symbolized the highest authority was a strange young orc with a somewhat timid and fanatical expression, and beside him was Felix in a grand attire.

And the full number of nobles standing under the seats didn't seem to be surprised by the absence of the city lord at all, and they didn't seem to notice that Adair and Jeff, who always accompanied the city lord, did not appear in the meeting hall. The expressions are very subtle.

Felix scanned the people under the seat, then stretched out his hand and pressed down. Seeing that everyone was quiet, he nodded in satisfaction, walked forward and said, "Today, here, I will have something about our Big things are about to be announced in Beastman City."

After saying this, Felix paused, seeing that everyone was listening carefully, and then continued, "At the end of this winter, our great city lord Aubrey left us forever. What a sad thing, I think you must be as heartbroken as I am."

As soon as Felix finished speaking, there were voices of agreement from the audience. Most of the people acted well and put on a mournful expression, and those with better acting skills even shed two tears.

And Felix himself had red eye circles, and looked sad. He took a deep breath, stretched out his hand to press it, and said with a choked voice, "Although the city owner has left, we living people still have to go on." Go on, when the city lord leaves, according to the usual practice, the young city lord Warren will inherit the position of the city lord. I naturally agree with the succession of the young city lord. Under the leadership of the city lord, our clansmen are leading towards a more brilliant tomorrow," said Felix, "but, even though I don't want to admit it, I have to say that the current city lord—Warren, It really disappoints me! Since he succeeded to the throne, have you seen any actions by the city lord to let us see the future direction? The city lord seems to be completely unaware that he is now the supreme ruler of this country. He is still as obsessed with eating, drinking and having fun as before and doesn't care about political affairs. May I ask you, how many times have you seen the new city lord since he has been in power for so many days? Except for those unsavory rumors about the city lord having fun, have you heard any praises from the people? His words? Is such a city lord what we want? Do you think such a city lord can really lead us orcs to a higher apex?"

"Of course not!" As soon as Felix finished speaking, a potbellied orc raised his fist and roared, "We will never allow such a city lord to lead us!"

"Yes, yes, absolutely not allowed!"

"This will lead us to destruction, and we must not sit back and let this end happen!"

"That's right!"

Countless echoing voices sounded one after another, and Felix looked at the group of nobles whose expressions were filled with righteous indignation, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

He coughed lightly, and after seeing everyone's attention focused on himself again, he said with a sad expression, "We all know that Lord Aubrey has only one son, Warren, and Warren is also the partner of my son Percy." , I want him to make progress more than anyone else, but the reality is always so cruel and disappointing. Looking at Warren like this, my heart hurts a thousand times more than yours, but I can't just sit back and watch our future It was destroyed in the hands of Warren, and I can't just sit back and watch the people's lives fall into dire straits because of such a fatuous city lord! Fortunately, even though the old city lord's son is only Warren," said Felix, pointing The young man next to me became agitated, "But among the Black Panther clan, there are still motivated people who can take up the position of city lord, such as Carter next to me. He is low-key, down-to-earth, and motivated, and he is more ambitious than Warren. The shadow of the castellan, so..." After the excited and bewitching words, Felix put on the mask of heartache again, "Although the heartache is unbearable, I still have to say that for the future of this country, I think it is necessary to let Wo Lun handed over the position of the city lord, and let Carter lead us on the right path!"

"Yes, let Warren abdicate!"

"Abdicate Warren!"

Just as Felix finished speaking, the group of nobles with fanatical eyes yelled loudly.

But such a warm but crazy atmosphere came to an abrupt end after the gate of the meeting hall was pushed open. The nobles turned around and watched the heroic young man walking into the meeting hall like a stroll in the courtyard, with a careless smile on the corner of his mouth. In front of Felix, whose face changed drastically, he asked, "General Felix, what kind of correct path will this Mr. Carter in your hand lead everyone on? Is the end of the road where the gods are or— —” At this point, Arthur’s tone changed, and his sharp eyes swept across the stunned nobles, “Hell?”

"Arthur..." Felix was still Felix, he quickly adjusted his expression, coughed lightly and asked, "Aren't you supposed to be in Irma? Why, what's wrong there? ?"

"It's just a small commotion. After dealing with it, I will return to the main city to report to the city lord." Arthur curled his lips, turned his head again, and looked at Felix with a flat expression, "Besides, today How could I not be there when such a big thing happened," Arthur said while looking at Carter, who had become a little timid because he came in, with a contemptuous look. "This gentleman is quite strange. Don't know what's the origin?"

"I...I..." Carter, who was so overwhelmed by Arthur's aura, swallowed dryly and stammered a few times, then looked at Felix for help.

"Arthur..." Seeing this, Felix hurried forward to make a rescue, "This is a member of the Black Panther family, he is us..." In the end, after Felix met Arthur's eyes, he didn't know what to say next. How to speak.

Seeing that the atmosphere became stalemate, an impatient noble below shouted first, "He is the candidate to replace that incompetent city lord of Warren!"

"Oh? Replace the city lord?" Arthur seemed to have heard some big joke. He turned around and walked towards the fat nobleman step by step, "Mr. Buffy, are you talking about replacing the city lord?"

"Of, of course!" When Arthur walked in front of him, Buffy subconsciously took a step back, then glanced at the nobles around him, straightened his spine again, and said loudly, "Like Warren, who only knows how to eat, drink and play Naturally, the people who are in charge will abdicate, and we need a more competent city lord to lead us forward!"

"Warren is incompetent?" Arthur asked with a chuckle, then quickly turned around and took a few steps forward. Before Felix could react, he grabbed Carter by the collar and dragged him to Buffy, " So Mr. Buffy thinks this person is suitable for the position of city lord?"

"Of course!" Buffy is now riding a tiger, so he has to bite the bullet and fight Arthur. "Mr. Carter is humble, down-to-earth, and capable. Compared with Warren, Mr. Carter is simply heaven and earth."

"Ha! It seems that the Carter I saw is not the same person as the Carter Mr. Buffy saw!" Arthur snorted coldly and turned to face the trembling Carter, "Mr. Who was the one who passed the test? Who was the one who told me that I was expelled from the family due to a large gambling debt at the casino? Who was the one who told me that I had nowhere to turn and was broke and could only steal and swindle? Hmm? Do you know that man, Mr. Carter?"

"I don't know, I don't know, no, no, I don't know," Carter's face paled every time Arthur asked, and he muttered incoherently denying, looking up at Arthur's eyes Looking at the pile of mud, Carter finally broke down. He broke free from Arthur's hand and ran to the seat of the lord of the city, hugging the chair tightly, and shouted frantically, "That's not me, I'm the lord of the city, I'm the owner of this city." City lord, Felix promised me to be the city lord, I will be rich in the world, I will give power to the world, I am not a bad gambler, no!"

Such a change made Felix on the side look livid. He walked up to Arthur and asked in a deep voice, "General Arthur, is it too much for you to threaten an innocent person like this?"

"Excessive?" Arthur glanced at Felix, "I'm just telling the truth, why, now you can't tell the truth, can you only tell lies?"

"You!" A murderous intent flashed in Felix's eyes, but he finally suppressed it, and said in a persuasive tone, "General Arthur, I know you are an upright and courageous person, and I can understand Your heartfelt heart to Lord Aubrey, but we cannot be blinded by heartfeltness. You and I know what kind of material Warren is. Are you going to hand over the future of all of us to one for the sake of loyalty to the old city lord? Is it in the hands of such a person? I think that, rather than being loyal to the city lord, we should first consider the correct direction of the country. Besides, I think that if the city lord Aubrey is alive, he would not want to The country was destroyed by Warren, don't you think?"

Arthur listened quietly to Felix's words, then glanced at the nobles around him who seemed to be upright, and sneered, "Actually, I am a person who walks through the path to the end, I believe in my judgment, I believe in what I see The black that I see is black, and the white that I see is white, it will not turn from white to black, and it will not turn from black to white, the most important creed of our White Tiger Clan is—loyalty.”

"Then General Arthur is going to fight us and protect that useless Warren?" The words have been said so clearly, Felix is ​​not willing to make any more effort to act, looking at the ghostly Arthur asked.

Arthur's face remained unchanged, he smiled, "You can be whatever you think."

"Okay, very good," Felix laughed angrily, "I think Warren will appreciate your incomparable loyalty, why don't you go and see him."

Arthur shook his head, "It's not in a hurry," he clapped his hands and said, "It's more important to settle this first."

Almost in the blink of an eye, a group of saber-toothed tiger guards poured into the meeting hall. Their appearance made the nobles commotion, and the meeting hall was immediately filled with a tense atmosphere.

Looking at the saber-toothed tiger guard team of only 20 people, Felix showed a trace of contempt in his eyes, "Does General Arthur think that I am not prepared for today's events? Or are you too confident in your men?"

"The result will prove my decision," Arthur waved his hand, "take down all these rebels."

"Ha, Arthur, you are too confident." Felix was completely irritated by Arthur's attitude of not taking himself seriously, and shouted, "Crewe, show your fangs and make these blind people Idiot to see what is the right choice!"

As soon as Felix finished speaking, countless giggling hyenas poured in from the doors and windows behind Felix. In their eyes, Arthur seemed to have become a delicious fresh meat in their mouths.

Arthur glanced at the hyenas who were staring at them, and finally met the triumphant Felix. Almost in an instant, the two of them turned into beasts and fought together, and the forces behind them also rushed forward. The meeting hall turned into a Shura field, filled with the smell of blood and the sound of roaring and fighting, and the breath of death began to spread in the middle...

Felix's confidence came from his monitoring of Arthur's every move. He was sure that Arthur would not be able to calmly bring his large army of saber-toothed tigers from Irma back to the main city, so when the battle was at its most intense, After he saw the saber-toothed tiger guards pouring in, the disbelief in his eyes couldn't be concealed, a big gash was cut on his chest by Arthur's sharp claws, and blood kept flowing out, Felix gasped. There was still a look of disbelief, "This is impossible... This is impossible... Your army is still in Irma! My information will not be wrong!"

Arthur held Felix firmly under his body with his sharp claws, his eyes were so confident and dazzling, "Of course, my army is in Irma, but I never said that the army of our White Tiger Clan Only those," Arthur lowered his head and asked in a low voice, "didn't you know that a qualified patriarch would never reveal his hole cards prematurely and completely for everyone to see?"

As soon as these words were said, Felix collapsed on the ground as if all his strength had been sucked out, "It's a failure, a failure..." Felix's eyes burst into a crazy light after he repeated a few words. He struggled violently, "I will not lose, I will never lose, this country belongs to me, mine!"

"These words, you can go and talk to Lord Aubrey..." Arthur suppressed Felix, and after leaving such a sentence, he lowered his head mercilessly and bit off Felix's throat, the blood splattered It means the end of Felix's life, and it also means the failure of this conspiracy...

Arthur watched Felix's front legs emit a faint light, and in a blink of an eye a dead leopard turned into Felix's appearance, with blood still dripping from its throat. Not far from Si, the collapsed Carter also lost his anger.

Arthur turned to look under the throne, where blood flowed like a river, and the corpses of hyenas were scattered around, while the nobles huddled together and trembled.

Arthur let out a long cry, and the meeting hall suddenly became silent. The nobles who were limp on the ground looked at Arthur full of fear and shrinking, but they didn't know that they were no different from dead people in Arthur's eyes.

Arthur spoke to Krell in a deep and mellow voice, "Go and invite the city lord."

One of the saber-toothed tigers knelt down on its front legs and saluted, "Yes."

The final final outcome of this conspiracy is still bloodshed, but at least this battle made those nobles who are currently ruthless and courageous finally put out some thoughts that they shouldn't have.

The dust has settled.

"Uncle Kevin, do you think the little rabbit I made looks good?" In Heller's hometown, Kevin's approachable personality made him the favorite object of the children in the town. Today, the children usually gather around Kevin. While playing, a chubby little orc flicked his tail and showed Kevin his little rabbit made of straw like a treasure.

Kevin took the little rabbit and looked at it for a while with a smile, then stroked the little fat man's head and praised, "Wow, this is really good, Harry is great."

Seeing that the little fat man was praised, the other children were unconvinced, and held up the things they made up in front of Kevin to ask for praise.

"Uncle Kevin, look at the little fish we made up."

"Look at the kitten I made up first."

"No, no, you should read the little pig I made up."

There was also a child who wanted to rush forward to let Kevin see what he had made up, but stopped in the middle of the rush, and the other children also automatically retreated, which made Kevin a little strange .

Just as Kevin wanted to turn his head to see what was going on, he fell into a warm embrace, and the long-lost but never-familiar voice sounded in his ears, "Baby, I'm back."
