My Frostmourne can't be so cute

Not all the soldiers of the Gilneas Kingdom are willing to stay at the Greymane Wall until the last moment. Of course, these deserters dare not return to the King City to report. They fled back to their hometowns and brought news of the defeat to all directions.

The civilians began to panic all day long-they had never experienced a war, and they didn't know what it was like to be marked at the door of their house. In their imagination, the invading country must be a group of fierce and evil guys.

Compared with civilians, the nobles usually think more; they know why the coalition forces are attacking the Kingdom of Gilneas, and of course not everyone is willing to die for this ancient country with Gene Greymane.

Between King City of Gilneas and the Wall of Greymane, there are many noble lords on the vast land; less than two days after Gene Greymane's defeat on the front line, these nobles were called by someone, Gathered together-they, more than those invaders, need to discuss the future.

In a manor located in the wild, more than twenty lords, large and small, gathered in a small room, anxiously awaiting the start of the meeting.

Count Darius Crowley, the great lord with a family history almost comparable to the history of the founding of the Kingdom of Gilneas, sent invitation letters to all the lord lords present, inviting them to this manor in the wild. Extraordinary Meeting.

Of course, in terms of the regime of the Gilneas Kingdom, Darius Crowley does not have such power even though he is one of the country's top lord.

But now... who cares how the Greymane family feels?If it weren't for them, the Gilneas Kingdom wouldn't end up like this!

"Everyone! I called you here today to talk about your future plans... We all know that our King Jean was defeated at the Greymane Wall and has now escaped to the Gilneas City."

With a black blindfold on his right eye, Lord Darius Crowley stood up, motioned his guards to close the door, and then said to the nobles present.

"What? What shall we do?"

A nobleman shouted-combining their own information and Darius Crowley's words, they can basically confirm that this is the truth.

But this is definitely a desperate fact—because if Gene Greymane escapes to a more southern city, then these nobles, their lands and fortresses, and the farmers and tenants in the lands, what will they rely on to protect ?

"You all be quiet!"

Lord Darius Crowley had to shout loudly, because the room had already thought of the discussion.

"That's why I called everyone here. If Genn has given up on us, then..."

Lord Darius Crowley successfully attracted everyone's attention, and then said pointedly.

"Darius, you mean...we betrayed him?"

A nobleman said openly.

"Yes, that's it."

Darius Crowley nodded and said-he did not hesitate to admit this, because this was his place.

For safety reasons, Darius Crowley chose the meeting place in his own manor in the wild; his private soldiers were scattered in the manor, controlling the situation here; moreover, he was inviting companions At the time, he chose aristocrats who contradicted the Greymane family, and he believed that his plan would be successful.

Darius Crowley wanted to overthrow the rule of Gene Greymane for a long time-his family's original territory was outside the Greymane Wall, and a large area of ​​silver pine forest was the territory of his ancestors.

Because of their proximity, the relationship between the Crowley family and the Kingdom of Lordaeron is not bad, and the mutual trade makes them a relatively wealthy and powerful family in the Gilneas Kingdom.

However, when Gene Greymane decided to attack the Kingdom of Lordaeron, he ignored Darius Crowley's opposition; he insisted on sending troops to Hillsbrad Hills.

As a result of that war, the forces of the Gilneas Kingdom completely withdrew from the Silverpine Forest. Darius Crowley did not dare to test whether the friendship between himself and the Kingdom of Lordaeron was deep enough, so he took It has been twenty years since family, property, and people in the territory retreated into the Greymane Wall.(To be continued.)

782 Rona Crowley

From then on, Darius Crowley was very dissatisfied with Gene Greymane, not to mention that he moved into the Greymane Wall. Although he gained a new territory, he was paying taxes. Always exploited by the Greymane family-after all, everyone knows that the Crowley family made enough gold coins when they were doing the timber trade.

When news of Gene Greymane’s defeat came, Darius Crowley knew that his opportunity had come—he had heard that King Terenas of Lordaeron was enlightened and kind, this time He didn't want to waste any more opportunities, nor did he want to take the wrong position.

"Do you know what you are talking about, Darius? You don't really think that we are capable of fighting Gene and his army?"

A somewhat obese nobleman looked at Darius Crowley in front of him in surprise, and asked in surprise.

"You are wrong, we don't need to fight against Gene and his army, we just need to... surrender to the new lord."

A noble who seemed very shrewd opened his mouth.

"You are right. Gene and his army will be handled by the army of the Kingdom of Lordaeron. All we have to do is to express surrender to them."

Darius Crowley spoke.

"But, can you guarantee that our property will not be lost and the people will not be threatened?"

A nobleman asked heartily—he had heard a lot of rumors about the invaders, and heard that there were other races—dwarves—in their army.

"I can't. But can you guarantee that if we are on the side of Jean, we can finally win? If not, who can guarantee the safety of our property and the people? This is a gamble, everyone, I just want to The bet is on the side that can win the war."

Darius Crowley said.

"I believe you, Darius, count me. Those invaders also need local nobles to help them stabilize the hearts of the people."

The shrewd nobleman immediately expressed his support for Darius Crowley.

"Count me... damn it, no matter what happens, Darius, we'll follow you. I've seen those southerners not pleasing to my eyes."

The fat noble thought for a while, and gritted his teeth—These nobles were all nobles in the northern part of the Gilneas Kingdom. The once-prosperous timber trade made them all lost their homes, but after the Greymane Wall was erected, they and the southern city Many contradictions have also arisen between the nobles of China.

Under the leadership of these two nobles, the lords in the room expressed their support for Darius Crowley. They signed a petition prepared in advance, and then hurriedly left. It's here-despite its hidden location, no one wants to let the news of the rally leak out.

Soon, the nobles were all gone, only Darius Crowley stood alone at the discussion table, quietly watching the petition lying on the table.

Suddenly, with a soft "squeak", Darius Crowley looked up and saw a young woman with short black shoulder-length hair and a fiery red rose headdress on her sideburns, quietly walking in. .

"What are you going to do, Rona."

Darius Crowley put away the petition on his desk, put it in his pocket, and asked with a smile.

"Father! I...I'm here to see how your meeting is going."

Rona Crowley, Darius Crowley's only daughter, saw her father spotting her tricky movements, she straightened up and walked to Darius Crowley generously. In front of him, smiled to hide his embarrassment.

"It's okay... Everyone is holding a wait-and-see attitude. Although they have signed, you know... This kind of petition is no different from a piece of waste paper until it is handed over there."

Darius Crowley said with a wry smile, and then walked up to his daughter.

"Then...Father, are you going to deliver this petition in person?"

Rona Crowley took Darius Crowley's arms, walked out of the room with him, and then asked curiously.

"Of course, I am the initiator of this operation. Who am I not going to go to? And... I also want to judge, King Terenas... Is it as kind as the legend?"

Darius Crowley said to his daughter.

"Even if it's not? What can we do? Genn, a coward, ran back and left us in the north...If we don't surrender, should we resist the invaders who defeated Genn's army? ?"

Rona Crowley curled her lips and said to her father.

"If not... Rona, I will not lead everyone to surrender-I know there are not many paths we can choose, but if those invaders are harsher than Gene Greymane, how can I do it for the family? To bring the people who trust me into the fire pit?"

When Darius Crowley faced his daughter, it was inevitable that some true feelings could be revealed, and he said excitedly.
