Chapter 453： how to respond (1/2)

The deterioration of the situation in the South is an unexpected crisis.

It’s not that the Second Dynasty ignored the Cecil family in the South. In fact, since the foggy month of a hundred years ago, the new royal family with hidden dangers of inheritance has never relaxed the shackles of the South. Among them, Cecil is the only family that has declined due to the foggy month. At the beginning of its recession, its remaining forces are still enough to shake the foundation of the entire kingdom. The second dynasty is supported by three other Dukes. Next, it took a full hundred years to separate and suppress the South into the current situation, and its emphasis on the South is evident.

After the rise of Govin Cesil, this emphasis is even more so.

Francis II ordered the southern aristocracy to increase the surveillance of Cecil's forces, but only got the information that "the Cecils are doing the syrup business to buy slaves"; the royal team sent to the south of the aid team also mixed with the sight of the probe. However, these eyeliners will soon not send any information; the defenders of the Rock Fortress have actually increased by 30% in the past six months, but the increased 30% of the soldiers have not come in any way; in addition, the royal advisors also Estimating the progress of the construction of Cecil's collar by investigating the situation of the Cecil family's employment of craftsmen in Wangdu, the conclusion is that Cecil's collar is still in the stage of insufficient housing, they never thought about it, the craftsmen went to the south. After that, he was trained as a magician and a bachelor of mechanical engineering...

Silver Fort can be said to have made all the right responses, but did not get any correct feedback. The biggest mistake they made was to use the ideas of traditional aristocrats to speculate on a different world, regardless of experience or thinking. A strange "satellite fine" mode of action.

They miscalculated the true intentions behind each of Govin Cecil's actions, miscalculated the way the Cecil family rose, and finally misjudged the fall of the Rock Fortress.

The direction is wrong, any effort is just a waste of energy.

The situation has deteriorated to this point.

"The two dukes, His Royal Highness, I must tell the truth," Cromwell White Mountain said in a serious and heavy tone. "Unless the Eastern Rebels retreat today, we cannot take the Rock Fortress back."

Another knight lord stood up and said the worst possibility: "If the Cecil family and the Loren family attack the king, we can't win only from the collapse of the Rock Fortress, Cecil. The army is a strong enemy."

A nobleman at the scene couldn’t help but say: "Even the Cavaliers Lord will fear the enemy?"

Cromwell White Mountain stared at the aristocrat who spoke: "We are only stating the facts. If they really attack the king, the Knights will fight to the last moment, and this will not worry you."

"Gentlemen, calm down," Victoria Verd interrupted the controversy. Her voice was cold and her eyes seemed to contain frost. "The Duke of Govin Cecil just occupied the Rock Fortress and he hasn't gone north."

"We have to determine the purpose of the founding hero first," the Duke of Baden-Franklin nodded and took Victoria's words. "I propose to send messengers to the South."

The aristocrats on the scene whispered, but on the whole, no one opposed the views of the Duke of Franklin.

"The Eastward rebellion is approaching, we can't take another knife in the south," the Duke Franklin continued. "So as long as the Duke of Govin Cecil is willing to talk, we should talk. We should be prepared to acknowledge The Syl family’s legal rule over the South, recognizing the restoration of all the distinguished titles, honorary titles, historical fiefdoms, and privileges of the nobles of the Cecil family..."

The discussion of the nobility became louder, and some people showed obvious erroneous looks on their faces, but more people just looked gloomy and nodded. Welsh Moen looked at the reaction of these people and sighed slightly.

"His Royal Highness," the Duke of Victoria heard the sigh of Wales. She turned her head and stared at the nominal kingdom successor like ice crystal. "Do you have something to say?"

"I just thought that we didn't admit that it didn't make much sense to the founding hero." Welsh Moen didn't want to talk, but slowly opened his mouth under the watchful eyes of the Duke. "These things are already in his hands." No matter what we say here, the reconstruction of the Principality of Cecil is already an established fact. Grandfather Franklin, are you going to give him the gift already in the hands of Cecil?

There was no change in the face of Berdwin Franklin, but he nodded slightly and said faintly: "Your Highness's thoughts are correct."

"We'd better think about it again, think about what other chips we can use to compromise."

After saying this, Welsh Moen dropped his eyelids and stopped talking.

The voice of Francis II seems to echo in the mind of the middle-aged Crown Prince:

"The king ruled the kingdom... it is the art of compromise..."

The meeting is over.

The nobles left the scene in order, and Welsh Moen left the hall with the royal attendant. In the vast military hall, only two regents were sitting quietly in the same place.

After a long silence, the Victorian Duke looked at Berdwin Franklin: "What do you think our founding hero wants?"

"I hope that he just wants to get back his family business. This is also the most logical, and most in line with the description of the history book," the Duke of the West said, "I don't rule out the worse." Gender has forgotten the list on the stone tablets of Ansu, and the signatures of the oldest books in the Royal Library. From a certain perspective, his claim to the throne is no less than our 'Prince of the Crown Prince'."
