Chapter 429 Nobles Meeting



So the next morning, they took Sophia with them to the Hall of Alduin.

Although the founding ceremony has ended, the lively atmosphere on the streets will continue for some time and will not subside immediately.

"Roning, His Majesty the King has called us to a meeting alone. What do you think he wants to say?" Lu Lans asked.

Ever since Bruno announced the meeting but did not specify the agenda, Ronin has been thinking about this question.

"I recently heard that there was a turmoil in the Kingdom of Theresia. Your Majesty has summoned either great nobles who rule a region or knights who are too powerful to be ignored. I guess it may be related to the affairs of the Kingdom of Theresia."

Rulans nodded with relief, "I think the same as you do. Perhaps the thirty years of peace will come to an end, and Oduin and Tricia will start a war again!"

He didn't expect that the fighting stopped after he was injured, but now that he had just recovered, the war showed signs of rekindling.

Sophia, who had been resting her chin on her hand and looking at the scenery on both sides of Golden Feather Avenue outside the window, came back to her senses, "Is the Kingdom of Oduin going to take advantage of the chaos in the Kingdom of Tricia to attack?"

Luo Ning nodded, "It's very likely."

Lulans added: "Even if war is declared, there will be a relatively long period of preparation, and the war will not start immediately."

Sophia sighed slowly.

"In our place, although there are conflicts among human races, internal offensive wars with large-scale casualties are not allowed to occur."

She looked out the window. "Without the interference of the demon god and his minions, this place should have been developed vigorously to restore the glory of a thousand years ago. However, I didn't expect that the fighting between them would make Orlante stagnate."

Sophia looked at Lu Lans and Roning seriously: "Do you two have any way to stop this war?"

Rulans shook his head. "The conflict and hatred between the two families of Oduin and Tricia lasted for more than two hundred years. Although there was a brief period of peace, as long as there was a chance to devour each other, they would not give up."

Luo Ning also said: "The turmoil in Tricia Kingdom originated from the 'Sacred Storm' organization, which was probably established by the minions of the demon god. Attacking Tricia Kingdom can also eliminate the minions of the demon god."

Harmon also collected this information in the past few days, so Sophia also guessed that the sacred storm originated from several dark lords in the Crescent Moon Continent.

She also knew that if Oduin attacked Tricia, he would eventually come into conflict with the Sacred Storm Organization.

But before that, she was worried that when the two kingdoms were fighting each other, the Holy Storm would take the opportunity to rise.

The best situation would be for Oduin and Tricia to join forces to first identify and eliminate the minions of the devil, and then the two countries would sign a peace treaty, allowing the knights and magicians to practice with peace of mind, and more powerful people to support the Crescent Continent.

But Sophia knew that her idea was very naive.

As long as the Demon God has not come to the continent of Orlant, the people here will not regard the Demon God as the biggest threat. They will only eliminate the enemies in front of them first.

Soon, the carriage arrived in front of the Golden Feather Palace. Led by the knight, Ronin and the other two came to the Hall of Alduin.

At this moment, there were already several nobles in the hall. They were Count Jesus of Moonlight Valley, Duke Ferens Gregor of the Duchy of Ferensburg, and Viscount Mellen who came on behalf of Count Alfonso Fleming of Screaming Island.

"Is it him?"

As Sofia stepped into the hall, she immediately focused her attention on Jesus.

She had studied the Wuhun tribe and was very familiar with their aura. She knew that Jesus was having problems even before she released her mental power to sense him.

Luo Ning nodded secretly, "Yes, it's him."

Sophia took a deep breath. If she was not in a foreign country, she would have taken action long ago. Now she could only suppress the urge to take action.

The three of them walked to the designated seats and sat down.

Over the next period of time, other nobles arrived one after another.

There was Broll, whom Ronin was familiar with, Randall from the Earldom of Amethyst, Duke Vargis from the Principality of Gistana, and Duke Andrea from the Principality of Vera arrived last.

Andrea's seat was right next to Lu Lans, and the two looked at each other with indifferent expressions.

"It's great that you can recover, Lu Lan Si!"

"Heh, what's the matter? My injuries have healed and I've made a breakthrough, so I'm making you unhappy?"

Roning remained calm, did not greet the other party, and did not even maintain basic aristocratic etiquette.

He could foresee that if the Kingdom of Oduin really wanted to attack the Kingdom of Tricia, a war might break out between the Wushan Territory and the Principality of Vera during this period.

"Haha, sorry to have kept you all waiting!"

Bruno's hearty laughter first spread into the hall, and then he was seen walking in with big strides, followed by Crown Prince Garrett.

Luo Ning took stock of the high-level combat forces currently in the hall.

Apart from the Wushan Territory, the other known Silver Moon Knights are Garrett, Andrea, and Vargis.

As for the unknown...

Roning glanced at the knights guarding the nobles on both sides, wondering if there were such powerful knights among them.

Bruno sat on the throne. "I had originally thought that Iben, Willis and others would come as well, but unfortunately the border is not peaceful and they can't get away to come."

Iben is his eldest son-in-law, the Silver Moon Knight; Willis is the patriarch of the Black Jade Family and the Meteor Peak Knight.

"I won't waste any more time talking nonsense, let's get straight to the point."

As he spoke, he looked at his son Garrett, who understood and stepped forward and said, "When I left the border and came back, a large area of ​​Tricia Kingdom had been occupied by the 'Sacred Storm' organization, and this area is gradually expanding. Our opponents are sinking deeper into the quagmire."

Garrett said, his voice suddenly low and excited: "Everyone, this is our chance!"

"Our Kingdom of Oduin is the legitimate successor to the Orlant Empire. Today we can take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to defeat Tricia, the robber, in one fell swoop!"

Bruno went on to say: "I am going to attack the Kingdom of Theresia!"

The Hall of Alduin fell silent.

Although everyone had roughly guessed what had happened, no one immediately expressed their opinion.

After a while, Duke Ferrens spoke first: "Brother, you are wholeheartedly planning for the kingdom, so we will naturally follow and support you wholeheartedly."

He changed the subject and said, "But before that, we must grasp the latest situation of the Tricia Kingdom, obtain detailed intelligence on them and the Sacred Storm Organization mentioned by Garrett, and take advantage of the situation to attack them when the battle is in full swing."

Ferrens seemed to agree, but in fact he was just stalling for time. However, others could not find any fault with him, after all, what he said did make sense.

Andrea nodded and said, "Your Majesty, I agree with Duke Ferrens's proposal. Collecting more specific intelligence is the most important step at the moment. As for..."

"But we need to actively prepare for the battle and even deploy the team to the front line so that we can launch a surprise attack as soon as the opportunity arises. This is what we need to do!"

Rulans interrupted the other party and looked at Bruno: "I agree with your majesty's proposal to declare war on the Kingdom of Tricia. All the nobles should take action immediately!"

Not that Lulans meant to say that, this was just a clause in the "enhanced military assistance" agreed upon last night.

He can't just make a decision yesterday and then remain silent today.

“Lu Lan Si, you haven’t been on the battlefield for so many years, are you confused?”

Andrea sneered: "I don't have any accurate information about the so-called Holy Storm Organization. Blindly attacking will only fall into someone else's trap!"

A debate contest thus began.

Roning could see that Duke Vargis belonged to the neutral faction, and the three nobles, Ferrens, Andrea and Melen, seemed to be of the same family.

In fact, collecting intelligence and arranging teams to prepare for war at the front line are not contradictory, but they have to be done separately. This involves the game between them and Bruno.

Getting Bruno to agree to their plan was one way to weaken the royal authority.

Moreover, for them, they can take advantage of the civil unrest in the Kingdom of Tricia to do something, but these things do not necessarily have to be to take advantage of the situation to attack the Kingdom of Tricia. (End of this chapter)
