Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 216 The Rage of Allies
"Anya, take a good rest first, and I'll be back to accompany you in a while." The lord turned his head and whispered to the beautiful woman on the bed in a numb voice, then turned his head again, and ordered in an unquestionable stern tone : "Carrot! Hurry up and go to Cook's place, let him put down his business and cook the most delicious food for my Anya!"

Robert pointed to his face and protested unconvinced, "I'm a knight after all, and I'm not a manservant. Don't ask me for this kind of serving!"

"You also know that you are a knight! You should have gotten out and made a living on your own, instead of sticking to my castle like a slug and being unable to drive away!"

Robert clutched his heart in pain, "Boss, it really hurts me when you say that!"

"If you are injured at this time, hurry up and play your only role!" Stannis let out a dragon roar, scaring Robert into running and jumping away.

Anya's laughter came from behind, and she kept shaking her head while wiping her tears. It seemed that the performance of this funny pair was perfect.

Stannis backed away timidly with a blushing face, "Wait a while, I'll be back after the meeting."

"Well, I'll wait for your return!"

The lord hurried downstairs and found his allies: Hillier, Randall and Barrow I were standing under the lord's seat waiting for him.

"Sorry for being late." Stannis wiped the scent of Anya's scent from his face and greeted his guest with a cheerful voice.

None of the three responded to his enthusiasm, but just looked at him with serious expressions on the same face.

Stannis thumped a little, and this kind of scene often meant that he was going to be in bad luck.

In the end, Hillier, the handsome man who was still the core of the three, stepped forward and said: "I'm sorry to disturb your date with the beautiful woman, Your Excellency Justin, but since you returned from that glorious and tragic expedition, a whole Zhou did not meet with us, and was missing for a few days in the middle. I would like to ask here: Are we still your allies?"

The last sentence was undoubtedly a forced palace. The three guys seemed to come forward with great resentment. Facing this aggressive tone, Stannis decided to retreat and wear down the opponent's spirit first.

"Have you ever eaten dinner? My chef's roasted rabbit legs are delicious, and you will definitely be full of praise."

Sanlu and Ergou were unmoved, but the honest Daniel nodded his head salivating, "Okay, okay, give me a dozen first!"

Facing the contemptuous gaze of his companion, Baro honestly turned to the wall.

"Please don't change the subject, my lord!"

Stannis was comfortable from head to toe after hearing this voice from Lord Leader. He decided to reveal the truth, "Do you know the reason why Duke Garcia launched this expedition?"

Ergou and Daniu, two guys with relatively low political awareness, shook their heads like rattles, but the wisest Hillier pointed out the mystery.

"I think the ostensible purpose of this expedition is to investigate the truth about the demise of the Claude family, but the real purpose of His Excellency the Duke is to gather the lords who he thinks are a threat to his rule, and use external force to wipe them all out."

"What are you doing!" Stannis didn't expect this guy to guess the real purpose of the duke all at once. The stag's wisdom cannot be underestimated.

Hillier took out a piece of letter paper from his pocket and handed it to Stannis, "Actually, I also received the Duke's summons, but I don't think the matter involved is simple, just because I was busy with my fiancée's affairs, I didn't return the order."

"What! I already knew that something was wrong, why did you watch me and little brother Barrow go to die!" Stannis was furious. This guy clearly said that he would not sell himself again, so why is he still hiding such important thoughts? .

Hillier didn't mean to apologize at all, he just maintained his usual serious expression and said: "Because I think this is the best solution, I also reminded Barrow to find a reason to take off this order, But his fourth brother insisted on joining the expedition..."

"Oh, the Barrows have notified me but not me, so what about me!" Stannis pointed at himself even more upset.

"Because I believe that for you who want to replace the Duke, even if this expedition is an obvious trap, you will not hesitate to jump in, because this is the best time to establish your prestige." Hillier's blue eyes The light of wisdom shines in it.

Without waiting for Stannis to answer, he continued, "If I'm not mistaken, although this expedition is very difficult and dangerous, you have also gained a large number of potential allies."

This guy is too smart!Why can't everything be hidden from his eyes, not only can he gain insight into human nature, but he can also predict the direction of the development of things.Stannis felt he had found the perfect kobold warlord.

"That's right, there are four lords who have joined our Eastern Border Alliance. It's just that it's not convenient to disclose their names now, but we have agreed to have a secret meeting next month, and you will know their names by then."

Hillier didn't change his face, and he didn't seem to be angry that Stannis had concealed something from him, "I see, as long as I know that we still have potential allies, then I will be more confident in pushing you to the position of Duke. "

After all, he turned around and left, not even Ergou beside him could stop him.

"Let's go now? Don't eat dinner!" Stannis really didn't understand this guy's behavior style. If he lived in modern times, he would definitely be beaten on the street for being too pretentious.

But at this time, a weak voice came from the corner.

"Is that... baked rabbit still available?"

For a while, Stannis was the host, and Robert was the company, entertaining Barrow and Randall, who stayed to eat and drink.

There is nothing more satisfying than having a barbecue with iced drinks around the fire in the company of heavy snow outside the window.

"Boss, I didn't expect you to have such an expert at cooking!" Er Gou praised him while gnawing on the rabbit's leg.

"The wine is also very good!" Daniel raised his glass and drank the wine that Korodov made himself.

"Where, where, as long as the two big brothers eat and drink to their heart's content, it is my greatest honor!" Although his heart was bleeding, Stannis still acted like a rich big brother.

"By the way, Daniel, how is your brother?" Stannis asked cautiously. After Barrow IV lost a leg, Stannis has always been guilty. If he had been more vigilant at that time, he could have saved more people...

Daniel put down his cup, his expression became gloomy, "He will only be able to live in a wheelchair from now on."
