The baron asked loudly, full of anger, and the people around him turned their attention.

Here "people around" refers to all the members attending the banquet except those who are not interested in the performance and have left the garden square.

Roughly speaking, it's probably more than half, close to three-quarters.

They may not know how to understand this matter, but this does not prevent watching the lively gossip psychology.

No matter how wonderful the performance is, will it be more topical and interesting than the conflict between the nobles?

Affected by this, even the dancing and music being performed stopped, and the performers stood on tiptoes and looked here.

As the focal point of this excitement, Lothar said he did not panic at all.

Even some want to laugh.

Because the other party's operation is more coordinated than he imagined.

Not only the time and occasion, but also the characters and the way of attacking are all in Lothar's calculations.

I rushed to Qatar City with a pinch of time, and only moved between the city hall, Lin Peng's house, and the castle, just to control the time and place variables.

The only opportunities left to the other party to ruin him in front of everyone are the competitive meeting, before the banquet, and after the end of the celebration process.

If it is at a competitive meeting, as long as you pull the opponent to play a fight, the problem will naturally be solved.

But for both parties, this is not a good opportunity.

Because regardless of victory or defeat, the reputation of a "brave" fighter will not be compromised.

Nor can it dispel the dissatisfaction in the hearts of the nobles who are jealous of his rapid promotion.

Before the banquet started, that was the situation where the opponent had the best chance and the worst for Lothar.

Especially when he had just stepped into the castle and there was no acquaintance with nobles around him, facing the accusation of a group of people from the other side, it was easy to form a scene of indefatigable words.

Even if the opponent can be defeated in the end, most of the prestige that he has finally won in the competition will be lost.

Although Lothar also thought of coming with other people, or delaying it until the banquet was about to start.

But in the end, it was because the Grand Duke's sudden summons that the two sides avoided this chance of fighting.

Lothar didn't know whether it was a coincidence that he didn't meet, or the other party's hesitant retreat.

In any case, now that the Grand Duke and the others have just left, this is the last opportunity for the other party to attack.

Although the hostility of many nobles towards Lothar was simply jealous and unhappy.

But if the conflict is provoked on the initiative, then there are still some special reasons after all.

There are some irreconcilable contradictions between Baron Zopponque and Lothar.

Yes, although the two have never had contact before, they actually have conflicts that must be brought into conflict.

What contradiction?

Conflict of interest.

To put it simply, in this battle with the barbarians, Lothar must have done better than the baron.

The more detailed origin has to be traced back to the last war with the barbarians.

The surname of Baron Zoppengerque is Trin.

Trinborg's Trin.

In other words, the ancestor of Baron Zoppengerque was the Viscount of Trimburg, not just the Baron of Iris Town.

When the barbarians invaded for the first time, the counterattack of the Principality of Perth started from the front line of Trimburg.

Trimburg is located between Nuremberg and Qatar, to the south of Sufremberg, and its distance from the Maumor hills is basically the same as that of Nuremberg.

Since it started from here, how far can the barbarian go.

And because of being closer to the coastline, the Trimburg area is more prosperous than Nuremberg.

Coupled with the relationship where the barbarians wreak havoc for a longer time, the resulting loss is also greater.

So after the war, after discussion with other nobles, the former grand prince demoted the Trin family from a viscount to a baron on the charge of "lack of resistance."

Even the castle and the vast territory of the family's foundation were deprived of this crime, leaving only the town of Iris, which is rich in flowers.

This result led to the death of the former patriarch of the Trin family, that is, the father of Zuopeng Erkui.

It is precisely because of this that Zapon Erkui, who has been on the throne of the baron in countless eyes inside and outside the family, has always regarded the restoration of the family title as a top priority.

It took him nearly two decades to reverse the family's once infamous reputation.

And now, this is the time when this old man in his fifties is closest to the position of Viscount.

Because of the war with the barbarians, he was relegated to a baron, and because of the second war he returned to the rank of viscount.

This is a good story.

However, it is a pity that the way to create this story was blocked by a sudden obstacle.

Even if the barbarian leader is eliminated, and the first attack on the barbarian is not mentioned.

In terms of the barbarian's first rank, Lothar's merits are also higher than that of Zopon Erkui.

Then Lothar was only promoted to Baron, and the fief was either in remote Morwin Town or Linhu Town, which was affected by the war and lost a lot of population.

Zapeng Erkui, whose merits are lower than him, has any chance of being promoted to viscount

some.

As long as the vast majority of nobles realize Lothar's lack of honor and the "destroy" of character, and then "recognize" that his merits were not obtained by "proper" means.

In this way, even though the Grand Duke did not cancel his original award due to the irreversible reward.

Under the pressure of many nobles~lightnovelpub.net~, the rewards of other nobles will be adjusted accordingly.

There is only one difference between Lothar and Lothar, and the old baron who "exposed" Lothar's "ugly" mask will naturally have a chance to be promoted to Viscount.

Considering what Zapon Erkui didn't know, Lothar had wicked the Duke's hidden conditions, and his plan couldn't be said to be unreasonable.

It's a pity that the baron who dreamed of stomping Lothar severely under his feet didn't know the occasion he chose to completely ruin Lothar's reputation.

It was exactly what Lothar expected, a chance to win the approval of the nobles.

So after stopping the rage of the Ancient Xiu knight, Lothar took two steps forward and faced the proud old baron.

Then, before the baron's equally hostile followers spoke up, Lothar spoke first.

It's not a tit-for-tat rebuttal, it will just cause a situation where the public is justified.

Therefore, Lothar smiled all over his face, and said the following in a pleasant tone of voice, which surprised the old baron inexplicably.

"Oh, then, you are also an admirer of Viscount Hollum.

It is really a joy to be able to see people with the same vision.

Speaking of it, I knew he was the best general in the Principality long before this war.

Do you know how many injuries the Viscount has suffered to protect the Grand Duke since he became the Grand Duke’s guard? "
