"...Even so, I still believe that it is necessary to capture Nerimajie first so that the empire can have a more stable rear area to facilitate the war launched by the Icathians."

Copperfield believed Balliard's words, but he still had his own ambitions. He still wanted to realize his ambitions and take revenge on those who betrayed him.

"Oh? Do you think Gu's decision is incorrect?"

Balliard would like to hear what Copperfield has to say, so that Copperfield dares to argue with him now.

"I don't dare."

Copperfield was a little more honest, but what he said was still "dare not". He didn't dare to think that Balliard's decision was incorrect, rather than not thinking that Balliard's decision was incorrect.

.

I don't dare just say it, but I don't dare to think it.

"Tell me what you think. If you can satisfy me, I might be able to change my strategy."

Balliard didn't know how to control people very well, but if he really couldn't control Copperfield, he still had two options. One was to use spiritual magic to control Copperfield, and the other was to send an assassin.

Kill Copperfield, the value of a dead man is not high.

Moreover, given Nerimajie's current situation, if news of Copperfield's death spread, it would definitely cause chaos in Nerimajie.

In any case, the real Marquis of Nerimajie is Copperfield, not Hausman. At most, Hausman handles government affairs and holds military power on his behalf, without replacing all the people in positions with his confidants.

, and if Copperfield dies before his title is recognized by the vast majority of princes, Hausman will inevitably be charged with brother-killing, and there will inevitably be many conflicts within Nerimajie.

Balliard only needs to light a fire at the right time to make some nobles of Nerimajie join him, and he can also easily capture Nerimajie. He does not necessarily need to satisfy Copperfield's ideas.

.

"I thought that your majesty could help me take down Nerimajie. At the same time, I did not submit to your majesty on the surface, but stood with the Marquis of the North, intending to block your majesty's attack. In fact, I have already

Your Majesty is your Lord.

In this way, I can control the coalition forces of the princes, which can provide your majesty with a lot of intelligence, and can also suppress the actions of the coalition forces, help your majesty stabilize the rear, and provide your majesty with enough time to deal with Icacia."

This is what Copperfield thinks now, but this is not his complete idea.

In his plan, he could wait until both the Xinjin Kingdom and Icaxia were defeated, then quickly capture the City of the Sun, and at the same time, use the force of thunder to wipe out the armies of the Xinjin Kingdom and Icaxia in one fell swoop.

In this way, he can become the emperor of the new empire.

"This is indeed a good idea, but you need time to think about it. After everything is arranged, you can start your plan."

To be honest, Balliard thinks Copperfield's plan is good, but the prerequisite for Balliard to implement this plan must be that Copperfield is absolutely loyal to him. Balliard needs to find some people to practice his skills.

, take a look at which mental magics last the longest and which mental magics have the best control effect in this world line.

Believe in the human heart? Balliard is not that stupid. The most untestable thing in the world is the human heart, and the least trustworthy thing is the human heart.

Copperfield wants to be the master of Nerimajie and become the middle ground between the new kingdom and the princes of the north. That's okay, but Copperfield must become a man of Balliard.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness.

."

Copperfield was a little satisfied. Originally, he thought that Sima Yi, as the founding emperor of the country, would decisively give him this opportunity by mistake, and immediately started to let him return to Nerimajie to seize power. Now Balliard said that he would consider it.

Seems a little indecisive.

Copperfield's plan has no obvious shortcomings except for some problems in selecting candidates. And the founder of a country would worry that he cannot control ambitious talents?

Perhaps it was the eighteen hundred years that had worn away Emperor Sima Yi's spirit.

"You should step back first."

Balliard is still holding Anne, but Copperfield has not asked about this matter. The girl who can be held by Sima Yi is undoubtedly the last princess of the empire. There is no doubt about this.

They asked about the girl's identity, and whether Balliard answered "yes" or "no" would not affect their view of the matter, nor would it change their belief in Anne's identity.

"I excuse myself."

Copperfield did not stay much or chat much. His goal was almost achieved. Although Balliard had not yet agreed to let him command Nerimajie, Copperfield believed that

Valliard would not pass up this opportunity.

"Carmen."

After Copperfield left, Valliard let the Marquis Carmen and Jasper in.

"His Majesty."

The two walked into the room and saluted respectfully.

"Are you done with your usual conversation?"

While Balliard was talking to Copperfield, he was still paying attention to the conversation between Carmen and Jasper, and he was well aware of the exchanges between the two people.

"Return to Your Majesty, I have finished speaking."

Carmen still wanted to ask some questions, but Valliard had already called them both in, which meant that the time Valliard had given him had expired and he could not make any more requests.

"Now that it's all said and done, let's go do some work."

Balliard doesn't like Garden City. This is not a suitable city to live in. People in the streets seem to have the idea of ​​​​hanging around for a day. Balliard feels like those who live in the city.

Like all the dead souls who have made their home in the mists of the Shadow Isles, they are all just dawdling around.

"...I should ask Your Majesty, what do you want me to do?"

Carmen kept waiting for Valliard to say something else, but after waiting for a minute or two, Valliard still just looked at him and had no intention of saying anything else.

"Of course the relocation has been arranged. The nobles in the city will all move to the City of the Sun. Some of the officials who handle government affairs and perform government affairs can stay and wait for people from the City of the Sun to take over. Moreover, Garden City

The army must also pack their luggage and follow Jasper to the City of the Sun to settle down.

Remember, everyone must be notified and bring their family members. If conditions permit, each military family can bring one more family to the City of the Sun, and can exchange the land deed of the Garden City for a house in the City of the Sun.

Land deed.”

Valliard felt that Carmen was pretending to be stupid for him, so he told him everything he had to do. Do you plan to eat and die? Then you have to go to the City of the Sun, eat and die, and now, honestly

Do things.

"...I obey the decree."

Carmen is a little confused. Why don't you give her some time to prepare? Start doing these things now? Carmen feels that Valliard's requirements are a bit harsh.

But Balliard even told the story, how could he not do it?

Most likely, Jiao would end up being sold out by the emperor, and Carmen didn't want her family to end up like that.

"Jasper, arrange a place for me to stay. I won't leave tonight."

Balliard saw signs of sandstorms in the distance, and had no plans to leave Garden City tonight. Anne was sleeping, and returning to the City of the Sun through the sandstorm would wake the little girl up.

Even if you take Annie for a trip to Nerimaje, you still need to cross the Farajese Desert and pass through the sandstorm. The wind and sand in the sky will still inevitably scrape on Annie's face.

"I will do it now."

Jasper moved quickly, and a house was cleared, and many servants were immediately prepared to take care of Balliard's daily life. There were also many guards around to protect Balliard's safety.

Even though Balliard did not need the protection of these guards, Jasper still screened out many guards. This was a matter of attitude.

At the gate of the house, the guard guarding the gate watched Jasper bring Valliard into the house and began to chat.

"Who is that person? Why do you need the Second Young Master to buy him a house in person? Is he a noble from a northern city?"

The guards are somewhat knowledgeable. No one will come to Garden City. Most of those who come will be nobles, and they will not be nobles from the desert area in the southern part of Shurima.

"Probably, only those gentlemen from the North can spend their remaining years in Garden City."

The power struggles between nobles are sometimes very bloody, and sometimes they leave some face to both sides. Generally speaking, nobles from the coastal areas of Northland who fail in the struggle will be sent to Garden City for retirement.

On the one hand, Garden City is far enough away, and there are many vassal territories in between, so losers won't have much chance to come back and make trouble. On the other hand, Garden City is a safe place.

After getting used to the luxurious aristocratic life, being sent to Garden City to live a poor aristocratic life would easily make some pampered aristocrats think of committing suicide?

If a noble felt that it was not safe just to banish a competitor, he could arrange for someone to sneak into Garden City, carry out an assassination, and then publicize that the cause of death was suicide, and not many people would doubt him.

"Don't talk nonsense. The man here is not one of those noble nobles who provide for his retirement. He is a real noble man. Have you seen the attitude of the second young master? He is completely treating him as his biological father."

"...There is something I don't know whether to say or not."

While most of the guards were arguing, one guard was thinking about some issues with a sad face.

"Tell me, we are all brothers, there is nothing we can't say."

"Okay then. I heard from my brother who serves as a personal guard next to the Marquis that Emperor Sima Yi has come to Garden City and accepted the Marquis's surrender. Do you think the man who lives in this house will

Is it the Great Emperor?"

As soon as these words came out, the guards immediately fell silent.

"How can it be!"

None of them really believed in this kind of thing, because it was indeed a bit exciting. Who was Emperor Sima Yi? He was the founding emperor of the Jin Kingdom. Compared with other princes, he was not a person of the same level at all.

Such a big shot actually risked his life and came to Garden City alone? And he also asked people like them to serve as bodyguards? This is really strange.
