Chapter 862 (2/2)

Hearing that, the crowd chimed in.

“Of course there’s a solution,” George said in a cold voice. “Although the snow powder weapon is powerful, it has some flaws. It can only be used in an open space. The bigger space, the more powerful. But when in a confined environment, its power is limited.”

“A confined… environment?”

“The Lord’s castle, for example,” he said word by word while glancing at the nobles who were present, “When Roland Wimbledon arrives at Redwater City, he’ll definitely live in the castle. Only a few guards can live there, so as long as we can arrange more men there, we’ll be in an advantageous position.”

“Did Lord Delta agree to cooperate with you?”Levitan asked in surprise.

“You know his personality. It’s impossible for him to do such a thing. Even if he was pointed by a sword to his neck, he would not resist.” said George, shaking his head dismissively, “But he really did me a lot of favor. In the castle, there’re lots of secret paths which lead to the outer city area. As long as we send our people in the castle ahead, they won’t be found.”

“How did you… know it?”

“Thanks to Earl Delta, he likes to dig here and there in the city, and I bribed the masons for the information. As the saying goes, a crafty person has more than one hideout. I don’t know whether he’s cautious or timid,” George sneered and said, “I originally planned to kill him in this way, but I think it’ll work just as well on Prince Roland.”

“But this is treason…” Huth muttered, “And if Roland Wimbledon were killed, his army would likewise flatten us!”

“Who said we’re going to kill him?” replied George, knocking on the table with displeasure. “As long as we seize Roland, we can have the situation under control. Since the new king is alive, his army won’t dare to put his life at risk. Maybe we can even force his army to retreat. Once the news spreads, those nobles will definitely side with us. Don’t forget, the Western Region is the only domain he’s truly had his hands on. When that day comes, it’s hard to say whether the Duke of the Northern Region will still support him.”

“But after all, he is…”

“He hasn’t been a real king yet, Baron Huth.” Guye Yurianne interrupted him, “He hasn’t held the coronation, nor did he proclaim himself as a king. We can select another Wimbledon, who believes in aristocracies and follows the traditions, as the king. We’ll find such a man in the king’s city as long as we try.”

“By that time, maybe someone will stand out before we look for him.” George lowered his voice, “And we should know how much we’ll benefit from this. Losing everything or glorifying your family, what are you hesitating about?”

His words immediately caused a stir among the nobles. Obviously, they already knew what they should choose.

George Nery was not surprised by the result. The nobles he summoned had been in favor of Timothy before. Even if Timothy was dead, they would not choose Prince Roland with whom they had a conflict of interests. Further, the prospective benefits were enough to tempt this group of cowards to take a bold action.

However, their ability was limited. If no one led them, they were nothing but a rabble. He was the only qualified person to assume the post of the lord of Redwater City and run the Central Region.

After a moment, Levitan and his party seemed to have made their decisions. They asked, “What’re we going to do next?”

“Put some of your reliable knights under my command… Then, just wait,” George said with confidence.
