[Chapter 291 I seem to have seen this plot before]

. After a simple greeting, Baron Willy-Sorken went straight to the point and told the main task of his mission to Winter City on behalf of His Majesty the King.

David listened to Baron Sorken’s story quietly and found that the mission of this envoy was really to ask the Lord of Winter City, David-Earl of Glamorgan, to fulfill his responsibilities and obligations and lead his soldiers to help His Majesty the King to quell the rebellion in the Kingdom of Tiran.

However, there was no hard requirement for how many soldiers Earl of Glamorgan should bring. It seemed that as long as David showed up, it didn’t matter if he didn’t bring soldiers.

He didn’t know if he understood it correctly. If so, was the summons a test from His Majesty the King?

“Is the rebellion in the south of the kingdom serious?”

Baron Sorken was not surprised by David’s question, because on the surface, Earl of David-Glamorgan was just a newly promoted noble. Although he had performed very well in the past two years and governed Winter City very well, considering the time Earl of Glamorgan had been running Winter City and the fact that the northern plains were not very peaceful.

Normally, unless the rebellion in the kingdom is so serious that it threatens the survival of the entire Tiran Kingdom, the Earl of Glamorgan, who is guarding the northern plains, should not be summoned to lead troops to help quell the rebellion.

Speaking of this, Baron Soken was shocked by the current appearance of Winter City. Even though he had learned some information before leaving, he still felt amazing. You know, this place was still a wasteland that no one had set foot on two years ago.

Retracting his thoughts that had wandered a little, Baron Soken briefly explained why His Majesty the King wanted David to lead troops to the capital: “In fact, the rebellion in the south is not difficult to resolve, and it doesn’t even threaten the surrounding areas.”

David did not interrupt, and quietly waited for the follow-up explanation.

“But there is intelligence that the Holy Gaunt Kingdom and the Thordurenma Empire are both mobilizing troops on a large scale. The specific movements of the Thordurenma Empire’s troops are still unclear, but the Holy Gaunt Kingdom has deployed a large number of troops on the border.”

Hearing this, David understood what was going on. Abelson mobilized troops not to quell the rebellion, but to guard against the Holy Gaunt Kingdom.

“Holy Gaunt Kingdom? Are they going to declare war on the Dilan Kingdom?”

“We don’t know what the Holy Gaunt Kingdom is going to do, but the other side has deployed a large number of troops on the border, and we can’t do anything without responding.” Baron Soken thought that David had been a noble for too short a time and didn’t know the situation of the major countries on the continent, so he told David about the situation between several countries. The

relationship between the Dilan Kingdom and the surrounding major countries is not good. The Dilan Kingdom has risen too fast, and its continuous crazy expansion has long aroused the vigilance of the Sodurenma Empire.

The Holy Gaunt Kingdom is determined to spread the influence of the temple to the entire continent. The friction between several countries has never stopped. Even ten years ago, it fought a battle with the Holy Gaunt Kingdom.

“So that’s it.”

There are all kinds of grievances between the two sides, and mixed with the struggle of faith. The Holy Gaunt Kingdom is a country that may launch an attack on the Dilan Kingdom at any time. For Abelson, the king of the Dilan Kingdom, he is not too cautious about the various changes in the Holy Gaunt Kingdom.

Therefore, this time, the envoys were not just Baron Soken, but the capital sent many envoys to various territories to summon the lords of the Kingdom of Tilan to the capital.

“What about the time?”

“It is best to arrive in the capital within a month.”

“Are there any requirements for the troops?”

“No requirements.”

“All the lords are like this?”

Baron Soken shook his head: “Your Majesty made this decision considering that the situation in the northern plains has not been completely stabilized.”

According to the order issued by His Majesty, the lords of the Kingdom of Tilan must lead at least fifty soldiers to the capital of Tilan according to the location, size and title of their territories.

It can be said that Abelson did issue a national mobilization order. David felt that this posture might not only be a confrontation with the Holy Kingdom of Gaunt, but also a direct fight if there was a disagreement.

“I know, but I may have to make some arrangements before leaving Winter City for the capital.”

Baron Soken said that this was not a problem. All lords would make some arrangements before leaving their territories. It was impossible for them to take their troops to the capital immediately on the day the order was conveyed.

David asked Elias to arrange accommodation for Baron Soken and the envoys he led, and he went straight to the meeting room.

“Ask Weatherby, Addis, Elizabeth, Pierre, Gareth, and Optimus Prime to the meeting.”

“Not notifying Tony?”

David thought about it. Since Tony had already been appointed as a consultant in Winterfell, he could no longer be treated as a mere ‘guest’.

In addition, people like Jaina, Sylvanas, and Raynor also had to be notified. What if these people had something to ask him when he was out?

That’s right, David had already decided: to respond to the call of His Majesty the King and lead people to the capital.

He would not refuse the call for this time. Anyway, the various decrees of Winter City have been determined, and the next step is to develop step by step.

He had nothing to do during this period of time, so he could just go somewhere else to have a look.

Since he has set his sights on a wider area, it is a normal choice to go out and have a look in advance.

Moreover, David thinks that this is actually a test of His Majesty the King. Abelson may want to use this method to determine how many lords are truly loyal to the kingdom in the Kingdom of Tilan.

“Maybe there will be entertainment programs such as showing off your power and deterring those lords who are wavering!”

I’m free anyway, so I might as well go and have some fun!

In addition, this time David may be able to see the true combat power of the Tilan Knights. His Majesty King Abelson should take out the new equipment for display, right?

Sitting at the head of the conference room, David’s brain kept turning, constantly thinking about what benefits he could get from this trip?

In addition to being able to obtain various intelligence information, David really wanted to make some contributions. If possible, he would raise his title again. Maybe his golden finger could be upgraded again?

Or, bring the Winter Knights with you, let the Winter Knights become famous, make Winter City known to all forces on the Brunnia continent, and lay a foundation for the reputation of establishing the Winter Kingdom in the future… If you do this, will the gold finger be upgraded?

Just as David was thinking about this and that, the people whose names he called came to the conference room one after another.

Because of his body, Optimus Prime can only participate in this meeting through holographic images, but this is not a big problem, everyone is used to it.

“Okay, everyone is here.”

Everyone sat quietly in their seats. The only one who could “wake up” the lord in such a tone was Tony Stark, the current weapons contractor of Winter City, the chief engineer of new weapons development, the energy supply contractor, and the chief consultant of Winter City.

Regardless of Tony’s personality, his identity can also allow him to enjoy various privileges.

“What happened?”

Everyone was here today. Tony remembered that the last time there were so many people in the conference room, it was David who decided to go to war with the orcs.

So, something big must be happening today.

David first drank a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then told the story of His Majesty, King Abelson of the Kingdom of Tilan, who sent envoys to lords from all over the country to recruit them to lead troops to the capital to quell the rebellion and confront the Holy Kingdom of Gaunt.

After listening to it, everyone expressed their opinions. After listening for a while, David found that everyone had similar ideas to his. They all thought that Abelson recruited lords from all over the country to test whether there were any lords who had different intentions among the many lords? Second, it was to show off his muscles and shock everyone, so that those lords who were a little hesitant and ready to make trouble would be able to calm down.

Strictly speaking, David was also a lord with different intentions, but he was willing to go to the capital. The greater purpose was to see the strength of the Kingdom of Tilan up close, right? Everyone

present was his own people, and they could guess David’s thoughts. Tony even asked David directly how many people he was going to take to the capital? If he brought more, he would reasonably suspect that David couldn’t wait and was ready to sit on the throne directly?

“Just bring a few people to show your respect. His Majesty thinks the northern plains are not stable enough, so I don’t need to bring too many soldiers.”

“Oh~” Tony suddenly thought of a possibility: “You said, does His Majesty not want you to lead troops to the capital at all?”

“What do you mean?”

Tony spread his hands: “Isn’t it obvious? His Majesty has actually doubted you in his heart. He called you into the capital alone, and then… he killed you with a knife.”

“…”

“Many novels and movies are written like this.”

David certainly knew that he had seen many similar plots, but Abelson shouldn’t do it to himself, right? If so, why would he send his daughter to Winter City?

It can’t be that he deliberately paralyzed himself, right?

“My lord, this possibility cannot be ruled out.” As a personal guard knight, Gareth Stanton was very loyal and would not speak for Abelson just because he was the King of the Kingdom of Tiran.

He swore allegiance to David, and he would only think about the problem from the perspective of Lord David Earl of Glamorgan.

“Don’t worry, this possibility is not great…” David thought about it carefully, and there should be no danger.

The next second, he felt as if he had planted a flag, and then he remembered that his territory was called Winter City, guarding the north, and the plot of going to the capital… What a strong sense of déjà vu.

“Besides, have you forgotten how strong I am? Even if the king really attacks me, I can deal with it!” Strong strength is the greatest guarantee of one’s own safety: “As long as Tony doesn’t go to the capital with me, I will be absolutely safe.”

Tony: “…”
