The long night has an end.

After the silent night, the light of dawn suddenly appeared on the horizon, dyeing the sea surface a golden red similar to that of the city of Rome.

The three nobles who had returned from Frank were sitting in a corner of the Roman Conference Hall. Glaring at the more than twenty nobles of the same level in front of them. Hei Luhou said word by word: "Even if you explain it like this, I still don't agree with your approach.

Years of conquest gave him a sharp aura that robbed people's minds. Hei Luhou's face was as cold and rigid as if soaked in winter water. And the raging anger burned in his eyes, making the timid people dare not look up at him. "King Solomon will become the new king of Goths sooner or later. He is a wise man, and it is impossible to waste precious soldiers as slaves. Therefore, he will definitely return these captives. If he buys these captives from him at this time, it is tantamount to put our money into the hands of King Solomon, it makes no difference other than that."

Hearing this, Hei Luhou almost laughed out of anger. After he asked these nobles "why not buy the captured soldiers", he got such an answer from the nobles. When they said this, they were all confident and confident, without any shame or hesitation. It can be seen that they really think so, rather than deluding themselves. You can even see the self-satisfied expression on their faces.

"Yes, we see nothing wrong with such a decision.

At this time, it was Marquis Lan Zhu who was sitting in the main seat and stood up to speak under the glaring gaze of Marquis Heilu. Although he also felt a little embarrassed, he had to stand up at this time.

After all, he had discussed it with Hildigard. In the end it was he who explained the matter to the other nobles, not Hildigard.

After all, Hildigard was not of noble origin. It's just because of his noble blood, wide popularity, noble and calm personality, and his great achievements in resisting King Stone, one of the purposes. In order to prevent his merits from being concealed, the nobles first granted him the title of Marquis, and then waited until King Solomon got the Gothic throne. The treatment given to him: inherit the throne with King Solomon first, and then award him the title based on his meritorious deeds Definitely very different.

former. At least a subsidy for a Marquis. And the latter is just a reward for "a heroic legendary ranger". Even though Hildigard didn't have a strong desire for power, he definitely knew that it was the Marquis of Lanno's good intentions to use his influence to confer him a knighthood. With his noble character, he will definitely repay him in the future. On the other hand, such a first-generation nobleman who has no desire for power may be more powerful than him after King Solomon inherits the Gothic throne. Because he doesn't have a family background and doesn't have too many interest needs, but he has prestige and ability. So which faction of nobles would Hildigard, who is in a high position, get close to? it goes without saying.

He doesn't know King Solomon and other nobles, and the only person he can trust is himself. Until then, Hildigard will become his only channel for inquiring about King Solomon.

That's right, using one's own favor and influence to ennoble Hildigard was actually a selfish act of the Marquis of Lanno. Of course, he prefers to call his behavior "investment". It's a word invented by St. Augustus, and the merchants love it...and so does Lanohou.

"You must know, Your Excellency. Our enemy is not just the king, but all the unreasonable rulers. We do not have a personal grudge against that man, but realize that the Goth will eventually be destroyed at his hands. Countless soldiers He will die on the battlefield because of his stupidity, won't he?" Marquis Lano said righteously: "Therefore, we have to keep a hand. King Solomon is a good Frankish king. But he is not necessarily a good Frankish king. Gothic King."

"You want to be king yourself!"

Hei Luhou scolded loudly: "Won't your conscience hurt?!"

"No! You didn't want to do this because you didn't want to be king, you did it to save money! In order to save the hundreds of gold coins you need to spend, you sold the soldiers on the front line!"

"You are wrong! I am not for myself, but for Goth! If we lose too much power when rescuing prisoners of war, we will lose the initiative in wrestling with King Solomon! We will obey the command of an outsider, And he will become our king, who can decide our life or death at will!" Hei Luhou widened his eyes and growled.

His right palm slammed heavily on the table, which shocked some of the guilty silent nobles.

After saying this, both sides fell silent.

He panted violently for a while, and asked in a hoarse voice in the silent meeting: If the nobles don't obey the king, should the king obey the nobles? "The Marquis Lano was silent.

He looked at Hei Luhou, and after a long time, he said slowly: "There is nothing wrong with this.

crazy. All crazy! Hei Luhou was completely desperate for the minds of these nobles.

Did they get **** in their brains? Stone King died, and Gotton was in chaos. They should know their abilities well! They already knew clearly that none of them could be king—because none of them could restore the chaotic Goth to its original state. So they wanted King Solomon to be this man. But they are still greedy for the free air when there is no king pressing on their heads. If you do not have the freedom of the king, you are unwilling to pay the price. How can there be such a good thing? You **** can't do it, but Solomon can! After he came to the throne, Frank's situation was not much better than that of Goth today, but he could still easily set things right.

His ability even far exceeds that of Stone King! He can totally bring Goth back to his old self.

…if his decree meets no obstacles. Looking at these stupid and arrogant wastes, Hei Luhou slowly shook his head. This group of wolves suffer... the first time they taste blood, they don't want to be dogs anymore.

"I'm not with you.

"I saw that none of you had children in this war. That's fine but I want you to remember. Every one's children will be sent to battle one day. What you do to them today, they will be tomorrow." things done to you.

With his right knuckles clenched into fists, he rapped on the table vigorously, stared at these people with lava-like pupils whose anger had cooled down, and squeezed out half a sentence from between his teeth: "Remember it."

The two counts hesitated for a moment, and followed them away.

After that, more than 20 nobles were silent, and three or four left because they were unwell, and then five or six left. In the end, there were only thirteen of them left.

"Is anyone else leaving?" His expression was calm, but the muscles on his face twitched slightly.

"Then all that's left are friends.

After a while of silence, Lan Nuohou said, "Let's continue the meeting."

Hildigard watched all this silently, lowered his head slightly, but raised the corners of his mouth.
