The rebellious force mentioned by the Shadow Snake Marquis refers to a new force that has recently emerged in the Golden Duchy.
Originally, this force was only composed of some middle and low-level nobles, and its purpose was to integrate the vast number of middle and low-level nobles and realize systematic management.
And the strongest among this combined strength is only an Earth Knight.
This Earth Knight is the former patriarch of the Sunflower Family.
However, after Egbert, a member of the Sunflower Earl family, returned to Sunfire City, the power structure of the entire Golden Duchy underwent drastic changes.
First, Egbert demonstrated his strength as a Sky Knight in front of everyone, and as a member of the Sunflower Family, he challenged the current patriarch of the Sunflower Family, the Earl of Sunfire City, to a duel.
The winner takes it all, while the loser eats dust.
There is no doubt that how can someone with only the strength of an Earth Knight defeat Egbert who already possesses the strength of a Sky Knight.
So under the witness of a group of nobles, Etberg successfully became the patriarch of the Sunflower Family and inherited the title of Earl.
In fact, up to this point, no one has thought too much about it.
After all, although it is not common for tribesmen to return from traveling and replace the old clan leader with their own improved strength, it has happened several times in the history of the Golden Duchy.
This kind of thing is a good thing for the aristocratic family. There are only benefits and no disadvantages in changing to a leader with a broader vision and stronger strength.
They all think so.
But unexpectedly, after only being obedient for a month or two, Etberg used some unknown means to bring the Ghost Marquis into their faction.
This news caused a huge uproar in the Golden Duchy.
After all, there are only five marquises in the entire country, three fantasy beast knights and two sky knights.
The Ghost Marquis is one of the three mythical beast knights.
His joining made Etberg's power instantly stronger, which made the other nobles feel a little uneasy and wary.
What really changed the current situation of the Golden Duchy was that Etberg took the initiative to lead his family to annex the surrounding nobles.
According to insiders, Etberg has actually sworn allegiance to the Duke of the Emerald Kingdom, Edwin Bronze Wrath.
Therefore, this led to everyone being afraid to take the initiative to attack the other side.
Fortunately, those who defected to Etberg were all weak nobles, and most of the marquises still maintained their loyalty.
Of the five marquises, only the Ghost Marquis chose to surrender to Edwin.
"What on earth was that old bastard Edwin thinking? We have the Amethyst Ocean Kingdom backing us, how dare he attack us?"
Marquis Qingyucao asked his own question.
"Don't talk nonsense! The Emerald Kingdom hasn't spoken yet, and Edwin Bronze Wrath hasn't admitted his actions."
Marquis Frost Wolf stopped Marquis Green Feather Grass from speaking. As the Prime Minister, he knew very well that one cannot rely solely on hearsay for everything.
"Not Edwin? Then who else?"
"Just look at that little guy Etberg. He's just a sky knight. How could he have the guts to attack us?"
"So, there must be someone with Dragon Knight-level strength behind this incident."
"And the only one who covets the land of the Golden Duchy is that old man Edwin."
Marquis Shadow Snake's analysis was so logical that even Marquis Frostwolf thought he made a lot of sense.
But no matter how reasonable it was, he always insisted on waiting until Grand Duchess Veronica returned home.
Before this, no matter what actions the other party took, he would lead the coalition of nobles to hide in the Holy Gold Castle and would not take the initiative to step out.
"Don't say that. I will never allow you to go out and die in vain until the Grand Duke replies or returns to the country."
Marquis Frostwolf still rejected their request.
Ever since the guy claiming to be the envoy of the Emerald Kingdom arrived a few days ago, the attitudes of Marquis Shadow Snake and Marquis Green Feather Grass have obviously changed.
Originally, the two of them were quite patient and had been hiding their power, waiting for the Grand Duke to return.
But no one knew what the messenger said to them, which made them very anxious.
Marquis Frostwolf also asked them, but they hesitated and could not say anything.
At this moment, a soldier suddenly ran in from outside the door, shouting that there was an urgent military report.
Marquis Frostwolf hurried forward, and after reading the intelligence, his expression changed. He handed the information in his hand directly to the other two people to read.
After watching it, the two of them also changed their expressions, and then looked at each other, as if they had made some decision.
"I didn't expect that even Count Stephen would choose to join Etterberg. What kind of magic does this little guy have?"
Marquis Frostwolf sat back in his seat, racking his brains but unable to come up with a reason.
"Actually, we two know something, but I don't know if you'd like to listen, Byron."
At this time, Marquis Shadow Snake and Marquis Green Feather Grass were no longer as anxious as before. Their sudden calmness made Marquis Frost Wolf feel a strange feeling.
"You know? Then I definitely have to listen."
Marquis Frostwolf felt a little strange, but out of trust in the two men, he didn't think much about it, but asked them the reason.
"Want to hear it? Then I'll tell you!"
Marquis Shadow Snake and Marquis Green Feather Grass looked at each other, and then their bodies suddenly began to twitch violently, and the skin on the surface of their bodies began to fall off, turning into a strange creature with light purple skin.
