Broad World - Chapter 775
Chapter 772 Tentative
The parliament finally ended at noon. Henry looked at Anta Silver Shield in a tacit understanding and went on his own. They are now an unbreakable alliance of interests, and if they get too close, it is easy for others to speculate. And now he still held a note that Lena Janus had put in his hand. The duchess was waiting outside in the carriage.
Sending Sarah into the carriage, Henry told Robert and Shandi next to him: “We must protect her. Now everyone’s eyes are on us. If something happens to this girl, all kinds of troubles will follow. It came. At this critical moment, I don’t want to be distracted by such a small matter.”
Robert lowered his head and promised: “I will send her back to the island as soon as I go back. There is our site, and there will never be any problems with safety.”
“Master, please rest assured. As long as I am still alive, no one can hurt the whole girl.” Shandi hurriedly showed loyalty.
Henry nodded in satisfaction. “Very good. I still have something to deal with, you should go back first.” After saying that, he walked towards the Duchess’ carriage.
When he came to the carriage, the coachman bowed deeply and then opened the door. Henry thanked him and got into this luxurious carriage. The carriage was very spacious, and Lena Janus was lying in a chair in a seductive pose. The outer skirt has been taken off, leaving only the translucent silk skirt. She let out a pleasant laugh, and pointed to the chair opposite.
“Please sit down, dear earl. I believe we will get along very happily along this road, don’t you think?”
Henry nodded with a smile. Sit opposite the Duchess. “Of course. It is an honor for anyone to get along with a beautiful and mature woman like you. In addition, thank you very much for your strong support in the parliament, which has saved me a lot of trouble.”
Lena Janus sat up and shook her head gently. “I am only entrusted by others. It seems that you have some misunderstandings with the Iron Throne. Shalovk wants to pass me through to show you that he has no hostility.”
“Oh? I didn’t expect that you, as the Duke, would actually stand on the side of the Iron Throne.” Henry was a little surprised. Although it had been known that this woman would eventually support Shalovk as the new duke, he did not expect that the two people had contacted so early.
Lena Janus waved her hand with a smile. “No! No! No! Standing on Shalovk’s side does not mean that I support the Iron Throne. The old man Rita has always been unflattering, but his adopted son is completely different. Just see above. On the one hand. I promise you will like him.”
Henry heard these words and immediately understood that Shalovk was fully prepared. He could not wait to get rid of the high-levels of the Iron Throne and personally start the war with Amn. I really don’t know what this guy thinks. You must know that the luxurious equipment of Amn’s army is not comparable to Baldur’s Gate.
They not only have a large number of military wizards, but also have large institutions engaged in magic research and management like masked wizards. According to Henry’s estimation, if there is no other external force involved, Amn will only need a few months. It can completely defeat all the resistance forces in the Baldur’s Gate area and occupy a large area of southern land.
Unless there is a secret agreement between Shalovk and Tassel at the southern border of Amn. For example, if the two sides send troops to the north and the south at the same time, it would be an act of seeking death. Although he has many special abilities as the son of Baal, in the eyes of the top of the Masked Mage Guild, he can be killed only at a price.
Lena Janus was not in a hurry to urge, but waited for a reply with a smile on her face. She is very confident in her social skills. I believe this young nobleman will join this camp. Thinking of Shalovk’s strong body, the Duchess felt a burst of eagerness. Her hands began to walk around Henry, and her body got closer and closer.
“Sorry, Your Excellency. I don’t want to cooperate with Sharovk. As for the matter between him and the Iron Throne, as long as it does not infringe on my interests. They can solve it as they please. I neither want to know nor interfere.” Henry refused Lena Janus’s win without hesitation. He is not afraid to offend this woman at all now. Anyway, apart from Anta Silver Shield among the four dukes, the other three will be killed sooner or later.
What we need to do now is to stay as neutral as possible and let the two groups of people give it a go without worry. Lena Janus was slightly taken aback, she didn’t expect to be rejected at all. You must know that Henry has offended the conservatives headed by the Duke of Iltan today. If he refuses to join the reformists, no matter who wins, he will inevitably be excluded.
“Count, are you sure this is the last choice? Don’t you need to think about it carefully?” The duchess stopped the ongoing flirting, and asked with a serious expression.
Henry shook his head pretendingly. “No need. I just want to protect my rights and interests. As for those fighting for power, let the nobles and merchants of this city participate. I have no interest in these things.”
Lena Janus sighed slightly. She knew that this time the rapport had completely failed, but fortunately, the other party had already made it clear that they would not help each other. There was silence in the carriage for a long time before the duke ordered the coachman to stop the carriage and watched Henry open the door and walk away slowly.
There was a sneer on Henry who left the carriage inadvertently. Now as long as you wait patiently for Apodell and his party to muddy the water, the brutal fight between the two sides will officially begin. The dark elf assassin team has set off. Their task is to clean up the small influential nobles and merchants around and reduce resistance to future rule.
Back to his mansion, Henry ate something and lay on the bed and started to rest. Under Robert’s arrangement, a team of elite thieves set off to the Cloak Forest to receive the mine, and Sarah was sent on the airship to Bluewent City. Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner according to plan.
At night, in Lena Janus’s bedroom, there was a fierce “fighting” sound of men and women. The servants here seem to be used to this kind of thing. They were busy with their work and turned a deaf ear to the “screams” of the hostess. A sturdy man in the bedroom was working hard, his movements were quick and hateful, and it didn’t take long for the duchess to be sent to the clouds.
Lena Janus squeezed the man’s back tightly, twitching constantly all over her body. After a few minutes, he slowly let go of his hands and lay on the bed in a big font. She sat up with a flushed face and said to the man: “Sharofok, I have tried to contact the earl today as you said. However, his reaction was cold and he indicated that he did not want to interfere in the city. political.”
“Very good. In this case, the follow-up plan can also be executed. You must know that the energy of this Earl Henry is extraordinary. Not only does he have a large number of troops and spellcasters, but he can also ask for help from Deepwater City and Silvermoon City. Before I can be absolutely sure, I don’t want to be an enemy of him.” Shalovk explained to the duchess lying on the bed while wearing his clothes.
Lena Janus nodded suddenly. She now finally understood why Henry looked so confident, that there were so many powerful allies behind her.
After dressing neatly, Shalovk said to the “ ” duchess: “The high-level meeting of the Iron Throne will be held in Candleburg soon. During their absence, I will send someone to execute a campaign against the Duke of Iltan. Attack. As soon as this conservative leader falls, those who oppose the war will instantly become a mess. You must hurry up and expand your power. After I come back, I will become a duke as quickly as possible, so that I can launch the righteously. The War of Amn.”
“Relax, I have personally contacted many nobles and big businessmen. They said that as long as you can win the war against Amn, they will support you to become a life-long duke.” Lena Janus embraced Sharov Ke’s neck whispered in his ear.
Shalovk laughed and patted her ass, then turned and left the duchess’ mansion. A sneer of disdain appeared on his face as he walked on the street. This stupid woman really thought that her goal was just a life-long duke. It is a pity that the fight for secular rights is only to start a larger war. What he really needs is blood! It’s killing! It is destruction! Only these can make the divinity grow rapidly, and can lift the throne to inherit the divine throne left by Baal.
In the following days Henry, apart from doing some small tasks around, spends the rest of the time studying the space energy stored in the green gems. He felt that he had gradually touched a little doorway, and believed that it would not take long for him to use this research result to invent a brand new seven-level magic.
After several days of torture, Dawan took the initiative to ask for allegiance. Henry tore a small piece from his soul and kept it in a gem. As long as this guy dares to betray and destroys the soul fragments inside, this person will become an idiot even if he does not die. After the loyalty was guaranteed, Dawan, together with the 200 soldiers and several dwarven master blacksmiths who had been transported from the territory, immediately set off for the mining area. They want to restore operations there quickly to ensure that all kinds of iron products are continuously produced.
On the fifth day, Apodale and others finally waited for the thieves team sent by Robert. After presenting Henry’s letter, they quickly took over two islands in the lake with hundreds of people and a prisoner. This guy was found by Imoen in the corner of a room. He claims to be an apprentice of Davann and has never done anything bad.
The leader of the thieves threw the apprentice directly to his mentor, and then used promises and gold coins to retain the slave who wanted to leave. Ninety percent of the people agreed to continue working here, and the rest left this virgin forest under the protection of Jasila. (To be continued.
