[Chapter 396: Marquis Morgan]
David did not continue to dwell on the issue of the orcs’ hometown. Perhaps he would let the Transformers search again. If they could not find it at all, then forget it.
As time passed, the news that David would inherit the position of king from Abelson had spread throughout the Kingdom of Tiran.
Even the lords who had not received the official notice knew the news.
Not to mention the nearby Iron Tree Castle.
At this time, the lord of Iron Tree Castle, Marquis Dudley Morgan, felt a headache.
The bonfire in the fireplace could not make the lord feel warm. His heart became cold when he heard the news that Duke David Glamorgan was about to ascend the throne as king. What made
him even more painful was that the only confidant he could discuss this matter with was the personal guard knight Ismael Sosa.
The nobles in the Iron Tree Castle did not care about this matter. As long as it did not affect their identity, status and current comfortable life, they did not care whether the king was Abelson Tiran or David Glamorgan; nor did they care whether the country was called the Kingdom of Tiran or the Kingdom of Winter.
In this situation, Marquis Dudley Morgan had no way to discuss anything with them.
Looking at Ismael Sosa standing respectfully opposite, Dudley Morgan asked his most trusted knight to sit down and asked the servant to pour him a cup of hot tea.
“It’s a specialty of Winter City. I was a little uncomfortable when I first drank it, but I can slowly feel the beauty of it.” With the increasing stock of tea in Winter City, it is inevitable that it will become a trade commodity.
In addition to tea, there are also a batch of Garand rifles that flow into Iron Tree Castle. Although this new weapon has only been delivered for a short time, and even the soldiers who use it are still in training, it has already helped Iron Tree Castle on the battlefield.
Marquis Dudley Morgan and Ismael Sosa can comfortably warm themselves by the fire in the office instead of freezing on the fortress wall, not because the elves are unwilling to launch an attack in cold weather. In
just half a month, the musketeers have helped Iron Tree Castle repel three attacks from the elves, making this group of evil neighbors quiet down for a while.
Marquis Morgan originally thought that he could spend a peaceful winter, and the musketeers would also have a relatively stable period of rest to train well.
If everything goes well, maybe he can teach the elves a big lesson next year, so that they will never dare to step into the sphere of influence of Iron Tree Castle again.
If possible, he would like to beat the elves to migrate to the deeper part of the Iron Tree Forest, so that Iron Tree Castle can enjoy the timber resources of the Iron Tree Forest exclusively.
Unexpectedly, just when he thought everything was going in a good direction, such nonsense news suddenly came.
“That David Glamorgan is not satisfied with the position of Duke, and actually wants to inherit the throne… Ismael, what do you think about this?”
Ismael Sousa took a sip of hot tea. The taste did make him a little uncomfortable, but after a while, the remaining fragrance in his mouth made him understand why this drink called tea was loved by the lord.
He took another sip, and the steaming hot tea entered his stomach, expelling a lot of the coldness in his body, making Ismael feel a lot more comfortable.
But he really didn’t know how to answer the lord’s question.
Inherit the throne!
Such a big thing, can a small personal guard knight like him talk about it?
But it seems inappropriate to say nothing. Ismael Sosa thought for a long time before he uttered half a sentence: “This seems to be a good thing for the adults?”
“…”
Marquis Morgan seriously doubted whether his personal guard knight understood his question?
As the lord of the former border town of the Kingdom of Tilan, Marquis Dudley Morgan can be regarded as one of the most important lords of the Kingdom of Tilan, and he has a very important position in the Kingdom of Tilan.
But the King of Tilan is going to pass the throne to Duke David Glamorgan. Will he still be valued as he was during the Kingdom of Tilan?
Even more, sitting in the Iron Tree Castle and strangling the passage to the south of Winter City, he is likely to become a thorn in the eyes and flesh of the person in Winter City.
More importantly, should he swear allegiance to the new king?
This is what he is most entangled with now.
If he swears allegiance, he will still be the lord of the Iron Tree Castle. He does not believe that a king who has just succeeded to the throne will immediately deprive the lord who has just sworn allegiance to him of his territory.
Even though he heard that the Duke of Winter did not divide his territory.
In addition, after pledging allegiance to the new king, what will happen to his Iron Tree Castle?
According to Marquis Morgan’s speculation, there will be few lords in the entire Kingdom of Tiran who will pledge allegiance to the new king, and some may even launch an attack on Winter City under the banner of rescuing the royal family of Tiran.
No matter how you look at it, this succession is weird, and it makes sense that some lords think that His Majesty Abelson was held hostage by the Duke of Winter.
Marquis Morgan is close enough to Winter City and the two sides have frequent exchanges, so he knows that the actual situation is not the case, but he does not necessarily have to believe the “truth” .
As long as he wants, he can also declare war on Winter City under this banner!
The question is, can Iron Tree Castle beat Winter City?
He doesn’t even need to ask his generals, Marquis Morgan can think of a very accurate answer: absolutely not!
Through the information that Marroni Mansfield had sent back many times, and the fact that Winter City did not deliberately hide its true strength, the people in Iron Tree Castle were the ones who knew Winter City best in the entire Brunnia continent.
In the words of Marroni Mansfield: Winter City’s true strength is not terrible, but very terrifying!
If Winter City wants to capture Iron Tree Castle, then one day is enough from launching the attack to the end of the battle.
This day also includes the pursuit of the scattered and fleeing remnants of soldiers, nobles, important officials, etc. If it is just to defeat the defense of Iron Tree Castle, it may not even take an hour.
The Garand rifles sold by Winter City to Iron Tree Castle were all discarded weapons. Now Winter City’s main weapon is a new type of firearm called Piccolo Assault Rifle. It is said that the bullets fired by that firearm can easily turn a fully armed knight into a bloody mist.
Even if this fully armed knight wears enchanted armor made of special metal, it is just a matter of a few more shots.
In addition, Winter City also has huge, giant-like Cybertronians. This magical race that no one knows where it came from has powerful combat power and can transform into various strange vehicles, even fly at high speed in the air and launch attacks.
What a fart!
Do you expect your archers to deal with Winter City’s planes?
As a border lord, Marquis Morgan has enough military literacy. Just thinking about the general situation of these enemies, he knows that there is no way to fight.
Thinking of this, Marquis Morgan suddenly realized that he had no choice at all.
He was not like the lords in other places who knew nothing about the strength of Winter City.
Because he knew, as long as he was in his right mind, he knew that offering loyalty to the great Majesty David Glamorgan was the most correct choice.
After struggling for many days, Marquis Morgan suddenly figured it out.
At the same time, he found that what Ismael Sousa said was not unreasonable: if he pledged allegiance to Majesty Glamorgan, it would be a good thing in some ways.
At that time, I would be stationed in the southern thoroughfare of Winter City and defeat those rebels for His Majesty. Would His Majesty give me some rewards?
Not to mention anything else, if they helped me form a force similar to the Spartan Heavy Infantry Regiment, wouldn’t my position as the lord of Iron Tree Castle become more stable?
If the elves dare to harass Irontree Castle again, they will be captured and sent to Winter City to be presented to the great David Glamorgan…
At this time, the great David Glamorgan did not know that he had taken Irontree Castle. He was sitting in the entertainment room playing video games with Laura.
The game they chose was Resident Evil 6, but Laura played a MOD on the game and changed the character she controlled to herself.
Both of them have extremely fast reaction and coordination abilities, and it is not difficult for them to play any game together. So the characters controlled by the two people on the screen are killing and killing crazily. The poor biochemical monsters have almost no resistance under the siege of the two people. The two people playing the game can also
chat at will, which does not affect the operation at hand.
“When you inherit the throne, will the entire northern part of Brunnia continent become lively?”
“Should I? By then, there will definitely be many lords who declare independence; or regard me as a traitor who has held the royal family of Tiran hostage, and join forces with some lords to launch a northern expedition.”
Cleaning up these rebellious lords one after another and taking over all the territory of the Kingdom of Tiran is the next thing to do.
“Then what? Launch a war of revenge against the Holy Kingdom of Gaunt?”
“It is likely to be like this.” If he could choose, David would like to clean up the orcs first, but there is the Sodurenma Empire in the middle, which is very troublesome. “It
feels like once you ascend the throne, wars will continue to break out… It doesn’t sound like a good king.”
“…”
“With such frequent wars, aren’t you worried that some people in Winter City will have bad thoughts about you?”
After saying so much, this sentence is actually the key.
David certainly thought of this, but as Winter City’s power grows, more and more people stand on David’s warship.
Some things are bound to happen, and they will not stop moving forward because of the ideas of some people.
Moreover, David believed that those who truly regarded him as a friend would understand his choice after knowing some of the situations on the Brunnia continent.
Even the most virtuous Superman Clark would not stand against David.
“Yes, if nothing unexpected happens, you will have become his brother-in-law by then!”
“…”
