Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 482 Fat Meat

Ark Harbor.

It was still before nine o'clock in the morning, and carriages drove into the small square of White Castle. Each horse has a unique emblem on the body, indicating that it belongs to a different jazz. Several lords who were vassals under Aubin got out of the carriage one by one, and only said hello when they saw each other, and then entered the castle behind the butler.

Among them was Graal, his expressionless, dark-faced, sullen-looking.

Indeed, since taking over Sunset City, Graal has been busy from morning to night every day as if he had just succeeded as the lord. Since Alan emptied Sunset City's resources last time, Graal became extra careful. Don't worry about handing over all the affairs of Sunset City to Tormen, the Viscount displayed his unprecedented diligence and stayed with the mountain of documents early in the morning every day.

He was worried about even an insignificant expenditure, for fear that Tomen would make a big fuss about it. After a few times, Tomen was also happy to be at leisure, and simply handed over all the big and small affairs and all the documents that needed to be approved to Graal. Graal soon felt that something was wrong. There are so many documents that need to be reviewed in such a small Sunset City.

But at this time, he shirked it again, but he was afraid that Tomen would play a trick on it, so he could only bite the bullet and bear it all by himself. In less than a month, Viscount Graal was exhausted. Being summoned by Auban today, he just had an excuse to get away from the mountain of documents and slipped out of Sunset City ahead of time.

At this moment, a jazz walked up to him and said softly, "Have you heard, Lord Viscount."

"What's the matter?" Graal was tortured by the day and night work recently, so he didn't have the energy to pay attention to the movements of the outside world.

"That Sir Allen also took off the Bauhinia collar a few days ago." The Sir said with a bitter face, "Now that he has great military achievements, I'm afraid we will not have a good life in the future. "

Graal sneered and said, "They didn't occupy your territory. He lived his life and you lived yours. There's nothing to worry about."

"Yes, yes, Lord Viscount has taught you a lesson. But there is no guarantee that someone will have a big appetite, and those few territories may not be enough. At that time, I'm afraid they will attack us. Of course, Lord Viscount, don't worry, I'm sorry he doesn't have the guts Shoot you. After all, your family relationship with Count Aubain lies there."

Graal frowned, not without reason. He said in a deep voice, "How many of you think so?"

Seeing that there was a turning point in Graal's words, the Sir immediately said: "We plan to act first, just like you did last time, to divide the power of Sir Allen, which can be regarded as self-protection. If Lord Graal supports it , we can recommend you to come out and get the bauhinia collar. Hey, the tax revenue of that territory is expected to be quite a lot.

"

Graal snorted and said, "Forget it, I've been tormented enough by a Sunset City. Another Bauhinia, will you let me live? I support this matter, but don't push me out, you love me!" Whoever gets on."

"If that's the case, then we won't force it." The baron smiled, stepped back, and whispered to the other lords.

After a while, they arrived at the meeting room. Aubin had already sat in the middle of the conference room, looked at them with a smile and said, "Good morning, sirs, everyone sit down."

After all the lords were seated, Aubain made a gesture, and the butler and guards retreated, and closed the door for the lords. Oban coughed dryly, and said: "I asked everyone to come today because I have something to discuss with you. Presumably you should have received the news that our Sir Allen was very brave and defeated Tucker and Daniel's elite cavalry three days ago. On the same day, they marched towards the Bauhinia Territory, and the next day let Aulu open the city and surrender. Now, this territory is also in my hands."

"Count, this is an unprecedented honor, we have to celebrate it." Fat Ernie said with a blushing face.

The other jazz gave him a cold look, embarrassing Baron Ernie. Judging by his appearance, it was obvious that the other jazz didn't tell him what everyone thought. Ernie noticed something different, so he had to keep his mouth shut.

But Oban laughed and said, "You're right, Eni. This is indeed a great honor. My territory has expanded by more than half. Being able to embarrass Daniel makes me feel even more happy. Like you said, there's bound to be a celebration. But before that, we need to fix things."

Several lords gave Graal a wink, and the latter understood, straightened his back slightly and said, "Master Aubain, allow me to intervene."

"Tell me." Oban was obviously in a good mood today, and he didn't blame Graal for interrupting his words.

"Territory expansion is a good thing, but you should also consider whether, as a baron, Sir Allen's territory is too big. Hungry Wolf Territory, Dawn Castle, Bauhinia. Hey, he has three baron dollars alone Commander, such a large territory is already enough for a viscount? Oh, look, my territory is much smaller than Sir Allen, and he is only a baron!"

"What do you mean, Yiglaal?"

"Split." Graal raised his palm and made a slashing motion: "At least one of the territories should be handed over to Sir Allen."

Oban reached out and pointed at Graal, "Do you think that one Sunset City is not enough, and you want to take care of another territory?"

Graal's complexion changed, and he waved his hand and said, "I'm just putting forward my personal opinion. As for the territory, I'm already busy enough with the extra Sunset City. Please consider other people, the Earl."

"Glar, you also have such a humble time, hey." Oban smiled and said seriously: "This is exactly what I want to discuss with you. After Baron Allen took over the Bauhinia, he submitted some Suggestion. Among them is the management of the Bauhinia collar. Sir Allen feels that his strength is not enough to manage so many territories, so he intends to hand over the Bauhinia flower and let me handle it with full authority."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the Jazz were a little strange. The Bauhinia territory is different from the Hungry Wolf Territory, and its wealth is even slightly better than the "Grannary" of the Dawn Castle. That piece of territory is no different from a piece of fat, and the jazz haven't seen anyone who would spit out the swallowed fat.

If you want to hand over the territory, if it were them, you must choose Hungry Wolf Ridge, because everyone knows that the territory will be greatly discounted for their annual income.

Graal took a deep breath, calmed down his thoughts just now, sneered intentionally, and said, "Who knows if Sir Allen will repeat his old trick of draining all the wealth from the Bauhinia Collar before handing it over to us?" Come out. Hey, I advise everyone, don't be too naive."

Ola smiled slightly, picked up a document from the stage and raised it: "In the past few days, Baron Allen sent someone a list of supplies for the Bauhinia flower. Although it is only a rough estimate, it can also be used as a Reference. So I personally think that Sir Allen is still very sincere. Of course, he hopes to hand over Sunset City to him. After all, a group of soldiers under him are from Sunset City. He hopes that soldiers can protect his city .”

"Bauhinia in exchange for Sunset City?" Graal said with a dry smile, "This is really a big deal. I really don't know what's so good about that ruined city."

"Since this is the case, why don't you go to the Bauhinia Flower and hand over to Sir Allen?"

Graal said unexpectedly: "Count, do you agree with his terms?"

"Why not? Exchanging Sunset City for Bauhinia is not a loss. And that's the actual situation of Sir Allen. He manages a Dawn Castle, and taking into account Fenrir City and Sunset City is already the limit. Distract and manage another Bauhinia. He can make such a suggestion, which shows that Sir Allen is very aware of his weight and position. Of course, I will do my best to cause such a thing. Do you want to object?" Auban asked intentionally.

"No, no, of course I didn't mean that. Well then, I will take care of the Bauhinia for you, Earl." Graal stood up with a respectful expression.

The faces of the next few jazz changed slightly, and they all stared at Graal fiercely, and then lowered their heads, so as not to reveal their thoughts.

Oban laughed and said, "It's best if you promise, Graal, but Bauhinia is different from Sunset City. I'm worried that there are too many things that you can't handle. How about this, I'll give you some more people."

"Mr. Long."

The door of the side hall of the meeting room opened quietly, and a man with an oriental face came out from inside. His rare black hair flowed like satin in the sun, and he walked slowly with his hands behind his back, with a certain style of his own. He bowed slightly to Aubain, and went behind the count.

"Mr. Long's wisdom is even admired by me. Graal, if you encounter difficult decisions, you can ask Mr. Long for advice. He can also take care of some daily chores for you and share the work pressure for you." Oban said seriously : "There is only a thin line between the Bauhinia collar and Daniel's own territory. There are huge wealth and equally huge challenges waiting for you. I am not at ease relying on the Bauhinia's own army, so I will put the 'Deep Sea Scale Girl' 'Tune over and help you sit in that position."

Deep Sea Linji is the army of Oban's direct line. Commander Ruola is Oban's younger sister. She is young and sexy, has a bold temperament, and has a strength of level 20. With her in charge, it can be regarded as able to hold the scene. Only in this way, Graal's excitement just now disappeared. Oban arranged for Mr. Long and his sister to be in the Bauhinia collar. On the surface, he was assisting Graal, but in fact he held the territory tightly in his own hands.

Graal was reduced to a veritable manager with no real power. But he had already agreed just now, but now he wanted to get rid of the trust but couldn't find an excuse, so he had to bite the bullet and admit it.

Then there are some irrelevant arrangements, such as Oban is going to hold a celebration dinner, and Alan will be invited back to participate and so on. After the meeting, Auban asked the others to leave first, leaving Mr. Long alone.

"This time I went to the Bauhinia Collar, Mr. Lao Long will take care of everything. Graal is also my spokesperson. He is responsible for the official entertainment, but Mr. Long has to focus on other important matters. And "My younger sister Ruola is good, but she is still too young after all. My father got a middle-aged daughter and loved her very much. After my father left, I have been taking care of her, and she rarely stays away from me. I'm not by her side, only Mr. Long will watch for me, don't let her get into any trouble." Auban reminded: "If there is any danger, I don't have to give up the Bauhinia flower, but Ruola must bring it back to me. .”

Mr. Long nodded and said: "I have made a note. Before I leave, I want to remind the Earl again. If you want to hold Sir Allen's wolf, you must make arrangements as soon as possible. This time he is willing to give up the large territory of Bauhinia, And take the small place of Sunset City. It can be seen that he is a person who knows how to choose. Such a person is a hundred times more dangerous than those greedy guys. Moreover, he is willing to spit out even the redbud flowers, which shows that his plotter, There must be more than one bauhinia."

"I know, at the celebration banquet, I will test his tone. If I can't satisfy him, then I have to find another way. To be honest, he is a talent, and most of my subordinates are idiots, so I really can't bear it." Destroy him." Oban smiled wryly.

"My lord, a flock of sheep is easier to manage than a single wolf. If you put the wolf in the sheepfold rashly, sooner or later the sheep will be eaten by the wolves. At that time, the wolf will not be satisfied with staying in the sheepfold After leaving these words, Mr. Long bowed deeply and walked back.

"Is it a wolf?" Oban shook his head, looked out the window, and was speechless for a while.

On the north side of the border between the Santa Terina Sea and the empire's territory, there is a deep sea port. Four hundred years ago, this was a barren land in the empire, with only a small fishing village. The villagers make a living by fishing off the coast, and it wasn't until a man came that the village began to change. The man got a big boat from somewhere, and gathered the strongest men in the village to go to sea together.

This trip lasted for more than a month, and when everyone thought they had been buried in the raging sea, they came back. Not only came back, but also brought a deep-sea killer whale. It was a mutated killer whale, with a unicorn-like shape built from mutated cuticles on its head, also known as the narwhal king. This whale king has brought earth-shaking changes to the village. The whale king is full of treasures, from the most expensive unicorn to whale meat and blood, everything can be sold for money.

When the news spread that this village had captured a whale king, a large number of businessmen rushed here soon. From that day on, the village became a small seafood market. After that, there was a pier of its own. The number of whaling ships changed from one at the beginning to three, and then increased to ten after two years. After five years, more than 30 whaling ships have been haunting the pier.

A pier is no longer enough, so a small port appeared here. And more and more businessmen came here to buy the spare parts of killer whales, and they simply invested their money here, and the village became a small town, and ten years later, it became a city of a small scale. After hundreds of years of operation, this place has become the current killer whale port. And the man who brought changes to the village back then was the ancestor of Earl Eric, Hamdiris! r1058
