"This **** weather," said Baron Bet, standing by the window, staring at the overcast sky and whispering, "It’s going to rain again."

The sinking bay near the sea is not lacking in rain, especially in the summer and autumn. It is also very common in the past ten minutes, and the next wind and rain is very common. Therefore, the city has made a lot of preparations, from stone pavement to underground drainage facilities. It's not like the Broken Fort or the Greystone City. The next rain will turn the lowlands into leeches, and the mud will be everywhere. One or two heavy rains will delay the unloading of merchant ships, and the impact on the city is almost negligible.

It is better to say that it is his mood than the weather.

Unfortunately, after the showers, the clouds will dissipate, but the mood will not.

"Adult, how do you think about answering them?" the clerk Jum asked cautiously.

"Answer?" The baron sneered twice. "Is it hanged or burned, let you choose one, how would you answer?"

"Oh..." The clerk was dumb.

"Can't choose it? Continue to drag it."

"But..." He opened his mouth and seemed to want to say something more, but he still couldn't speak.

In fact, even if he doesn't say it, Jean Bate knows that it's hard to keep dragging it down like the cockroaches that are born in the sky. No matter how unwilling a businessman is to see it, it will always fall.

The reason for everything comes from the war with the church.

After the destruction of the Wolf King City, it seems that a large number of illegitimate sons of the Wolf King emerged overnight. The local lords rallied and confessed each other, and it was the orthodox trend. After a series of competitions, the Token family in the northwest, the Redstone family in the south, and the fang family in the eastern mountains were gradually formed.

The former is far from the sinking pool because of the distance, but the latter two families are different. The two dukes want to pull Shenchi Bay into their own group and further expand their own strength.

In the early stage of the dispute, the baron insisted on the neutrality of the harbor and was not guilty of either party. This not only made the city quickly recover its prosperity, but also earned him a lot of income. In order to ensure that the goods can be exchanged for grain or Golden Dragon in time, and the surrounding area is undecided, the two dukes did not force him too much.

With the new round of annexation and expansion, the fangs and the Redstone Gate gradually emerged as the most powerful contender for the new Wolf King. Together with the Token family's sudden closure of the main mountain, the two families have once again put their gaze on the sinking pool.

The baron can think of what they are playing with their knees.

Swallowing Shenchi Bay and banned the enemy's material trade by the way will certainly achieve great advantages in this competition. So this time they not only sent messengers, but also dozens of knights and hundreds of mercenaries, whose attitude is self-evident.

The seaport only has a patrol that maintains order, and a fraternal group that protects the security of the lord. It is also okay to deal with pirates who are not covered, and there is no self-protection ability in the face of fully armed knights. Jean Bate did not intend to resist. If the three forces have already won the game and set the Wolf King, he will not hesitate to pledge allegiance. As for the new wolf king is not from the blood of the old wolf king, he does not care.

However, the Redstone Gate and the fangs are evenly matched.

Trust has become a dead end.

No matter which side he chooses to stand on, the other party can never sit and watch the loss of sea trade. That means that food, iron and other materials can only rely on self-production, while the other party's energy source is continuously replenished, which is undoubtedly equal to victory.

Therefore, once you rely on it, you will definitely be attacked by the other side.

There is no indestructible wall in Shenchi Bay, and there is no deep moat. If you want to resist it, you can only rely on the support of the relying party.

But will the two families really support him?

The baron did not dare to gamble.

If he is a Redstone Gate or a Duke of Tooth, you can naturally think of it. First use the people of Shenchi Bay to consume the power of the attacker, and then attack the situation, which can effectively reduce the casualties of the elite knight. Even put the enemy into the city, then block the retreat, and slowly consume it... After all, the other party wants Shenchi Bay, not the people here.

Or, it would be better not to have Shenchi Bay under the jurisdiction of Bate.

As mentioned before, this is a question of whether to choose to be hanged or burned.

Putting two messengers in a camp is to use their mutual hostility to delay the time, and it would be better if they could fight. He also provided spirits and women three times and five times, and deliberately let them pick them together. Unfortunately, even if they rushed to face the red, they never looked at each other.

"Tick, ticking..."

The rain finally fell, and the garden of the Governor’s House became smashed, as if it had been covered with a layer of tulle.

Staring at the petals that swayed gently in the rain, the baron silently said that waiting for it was not the solution, but he could not think of ways to continue to be neutral. Grandfather often said that nobles often waver between the gains and losses of interests and powers. As long as they make good use of this, they will be able to control each other. Perhaps he should calm down and give up those little tricks, and think about how to get rid of the difficulties from the strategic level.

Just then, a rush of footsteps interrupted his meditation.

"Big, adults, not good!"

"What panic, there is something to say!" Jean Bate stunned and came to see, "What the bad is?" Is it that the knights finally fight? If that's the case, that's good news! He stared at the guard's mouth, hoping to see the word "camp" or "knight" from the other's mouth.

"The fleet of the gray castle and the king of the gray castle occupies the harbor!" However, the words of the guards completely exceeded his imagination, which made him unable to react at the moment. "More than that, they also blocked the dock area and prohibited anyone from approaching." !"

"What do you say? Gray... Fort?" The Baron repeated subconsciously. "Do they want to buy or sell something? Wait... Did you just say the blockade?"

“It’s true!” the guards eagerly said. “They drove off the ship that was parked on the side of the trestle and allowed only their own sea-going vessels. They also said that this was temporary requisition and the order would soon recover. The patrol wanted to stop They were disarmed in the blink of an eye! It is reported that there are hundreds of grey-ship vessels outside the port!"

Jean Bate felt a little unbelievable. "Are you sure that it is the fleet of the King of the Grey Fortress? Not the emblem of a certain lord?"

"Yes, I have seen it with my own eyes," the guards said with a hard time. "It is indeed the flag of the high tower of the Grey House."

The gods are on the top, is it difficult to become a gray castle intended to invade the wolf heart?

Why does Wimbledon leave the rich neighbors and ask for trouble?

Even if the king of the Grey Fortress wants to expand the territory, there is no need to launch an attack from the sea. Can the Token family really resist the gray castle army that defeated the church?

No, this doesn't make sense at all...

The baron only felt that his mind was in a mess, and he couldn’t figure out a clue.

Until the clerk Zhum walked over to him, he bowed his head and whispered a few words.

The baron suddenly brightened his eyes!

That's right, this may be the chance he has been waiting for!

The power of the Grey Fort is undoubtedly enough to break the deadlock between the two powers. Assume that this fleet is really for the king of the Grey Fortress to expand the territory. It is the beginning of this strange land. Even if it is strong, it needs the help of the local nobility. With a little guidance, it may be able to achieve the effect of driving the tiger. . Anyway, allegiance to loyalty is not loyalty. If you show it to the king of the Grey Fort, you may be able to master more power and become a party.

Even if Wimbledon fails, he will not lose anything.

At the moment, another bodyguard ran in. "Adult, the Greysburg fleet sent the messenger, saying that it was carrying the will of Roland Wimbledon, hoping to talk to you in detail."

Jean Bate and the clerk looked at each other and then nodded. "It’s a guest, telling the messenger, I can see them at any time."
