Chapter 169： Bailu City (Part 2)

"Get up, Viscount Alston."

"Yes... Lord Duke!"

Viscount Alston struggled to stand up, but after three days of kneeling in the snow, his legs had completely lost consciousness, and he tried several times without success.

Finally, with the help of Evan Evan, he finally stood up straight.

The Duke of St. Pros didn't show any sympathy or pity, and he glanced at the two indifferently, and then walked into the castle first.

"sit down."

"Thank you, Lord Duke!"

His legs trembled and Viscount Auston, who was unable to stand still, sat down quickly, but in front of the Duke of Saint-Pros, he still did not dare to lean on the back of his chair, and his **** was only half seated.

"My two hundred thousand army was ruined, I was going to kill you."

Viscount Alston shook his whole body when he heard the words, but the Duke's next sentence made him breathe a sigh of relief.

"But for the sake of the loyalty of the Alston family for hundreds of years, I decided to spare your life."

"Thank you Lord Duke! Your kindness will be remembered by the Auston family!"

The Duke of Saint-Pros looked at Viscount Auston, who was almost crying, with a trace of contempt in his eyes, but he still patiently said: "You go to Ice Rock City and tell Viscount Anglia, I agree with him to change prisoners. Proposal to trade Garcia for Vincent."

"Yes." Viscount Alston hurriedly replied. Then he saw that the Duke of Saint-Pros had no other orders, so he quickly got up and left.

Then there was silence in the hall, and neither father nor son spoke first, as if they were trying to be patient.

In the end, the Duke of Saint-Pros couldn't see his son's tired look, and reprimanded: "What are you still doing with me?"

Count Evan looked innocent, and said, "Father, didn't you ask me to come over and ask me if you have something to ask?"

The Duke of Saint-Pros widened his eyes, just wanting to drew his sword to kill this unruly, ignorant and inferior son.

But after all, he forced himself to calm down and asked in a deep voice, "Do you think that with the current situation in the northern border, should we intervene?"

"Are we still able to intervene?" Evan asked unceremoniously. "The army of the Pegasus Legion has basically been ruined by my good brother. Are you planning to send the navy to the north?

Or do you expect to conscript the private soldiers of the lords in the East and let them fight the people in the North for us? "

"So you think we can only watch from the side?"

"At least we don't have the strength to invade the North with a big fanfare. However, we can't say that we can't do anything."

The face of the Duke of Saint-Pros only improved slightly, and he asked, "What to do?"

"The current situation in the Northern Territory is on the verge of breaking out. Next, the Saint Theon family and the Saint Hild family will definitely fight to the death, but before they are exhausted, we can't easily end, otherwise it will be the same as this time in Shadow Canyon. Knife in the hands of others."

Hearing this, the brow of the Duke of St. Pros jumped, apparently being pricked in the sore place by his son, but he did not have a seizure, but continued to listen.

"So, our best choice now is to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. At the same time, you need to pay attention to two key people."

"Which two?"

"Marquis Dawson and Viscount Anglia!" Count Evan slowly uttered two names, and then explained, "Marquis Dawson wants to realize the dream of a dwarf nation, and has no allegiance to the St. Theon family. Who Can help him realize this dream, he will fall to whom.

Therefore, this is a force that can be drawn to us.

As for Viscount Anglia, you must have clearly seen this person’s ability through the Battle of Silvermoon City. Although he is currently the power of the Duke of St. Hild, I always feel that his loyalty is not firm, and it is possible. The people we wooed. "

The Duke of St. Pros nodded slowly, agreeing with his son's words.

Count Evan continued to say: "In addition, the attitude of the royal family is also very important. I think that with the hatred between the San Lorenzo family and the San Theon family, they might not be willing to see the northern border fall into the Holy Land. In the hands of the Theon family, it is very likely that they will end up personally when the St. Hild family can't hold it."

"If the San Lorenzo family sends troops to the north, what chance does the San Theon family have?"

"Not necessarily." Count Evan shook his head. "There are many people who hope that the North Territory can change a master."

"Who do you mean by'many people'?"

Count Evan’s smile suddenly became a little playful: "Aren’t you one of them?"

The Duke of St. Pros suddenly became quiet at this time, and even the rude look of Evan Evan's slight scrutiny couldn't make him angry.

However, the Duke of Saint-Pros did not respond to the question of his son's question just now.

After a long silence, Count Evan suddenly yawned and smiled: "Father, if there is nothing else, I will go back and rest first."

The Duke of St. Pros nodded, saying nothing more.

Seeing the son's back slowly disappearing outside the hall, the Duke of Saint-Pros' eyes became a little struggling.

"Why, my heart moved?" A soft voice suddenly sounded, and the duchess, who had changed her clothes, appeared in the hall.

The Duke of Saint-Pros seemed to understand what his wife was talking about. He sighed and shook his head.

not to mention……"

The duchess stepped forward, gently kneading her husband's shoulders, and said softly: "Are you worried about the lords of the East?"

"Yes. Vincent has been a Marquis of the East for so long, and I have been trained as the first heir. So many lords of the East have already placed bets on him. If I abolish him now..."

"Those lords don't necessarily have the guts, right?"

"Humph! Of course it doesn't matter who didn't make a big bet.

But Earl Hall, he married his most precious daughter to Vincent.

And the Earl of Brugen, you know how much money his chamber of commerce provides to Vincent.

There is also the Alston family, almost completely tied to Vincent, I don't know whether to call them smart or call them stupid!

Once these families see that I abolish Vincent their years of investment have been wiped out, you say, can they not resent me?

Especially when the Pegasus Legion was hit hard, hehe, one carelessness might be a mess! "

With a sigh, he said leisurely: "To be honest, I actually admire the Duke of St. Hilde, who has the courage to attack his vassals. If I can make a big purge in the East, Vincent stupid The position of Marquis is not to be abolished!"

The duchess was silent, and after a long time she spoke again: "But if you are so partial to Vincent, Evan's grievance will only grow."

The Duke of Saint-Pross sneered: "Without the corresponding strength to support, what is the use of his grievance no matter what?"

The duchess' eyes flickered and suggested: "It's not too late for you to start helping Evan cultivate power."

The Duke of St. Pros pondered for a moment, but still shook his head:

"Let's wait and see."
