Chapter 259 General(3/3)
No one moved or made a sound.
A gust of cold wind blew into the hall, and as the firelight flickered, the shadows of everyone swayed.
Thelma bit her lower lip and looked at the princes with different expressions anxiously.
Finally, as if centuries had passed, a voice broke the silence.
"Actually, we are willing to believe you, Charmaine," Grand Duke Lecco's gloomy voice said: "But I have to admit that what this child said makes me very worried."
Trudida shrugged: "It makes some sense."
Lumba raised his head slightly. Under the shadow, his stiff face looked even more aged.
"Tell me, Charmaine."
"As our sworn alliance, in order to refute the words of this arrogant prince, in order to put aside worries and worries for each other, in order to prove that we are still advancing and retreating as one," Grand Duke Lecco looked directly at Lombard and sighed softly: "In the coming war,
,Northern Territory…”
"Don't take it."
Lumba didn't speak, just looked at Lecco blankly.
"Of course, we will compensate you with considerable land and interests to express our apology. It can be anything from Trudida or even my land. It's up to you, just a little more," the old man coughed.
, seemed a little sad: "You know, based on the northern border, guarding the border and monitoring the stars, other people can also take on the responsibility."
The voice fell.
Lumba raised his head and glanced at each grand duke one by one with the most incredible eyes.
Thales pursed his lips and looked at Lumba intently.
Look at his face as if frozen.
Lumba gritted his teeth, frowned deeply, and anger burst out of his eyes.
"I know, this is too much, but," Olesiu looked ugly and shook his head apologetically: "I swear, as long as you prove yourself, I will personally do it to make this poisonous snake of the stars pay the price."
Serpent of the stars?
Thales raised his eyebrows slightly.
Lumba's face twitched slightly, like a smile, but not like a smile.
"You know," Archduke Ronnie raised his gaze at this time, his eyes sharp: "This is for Exter."
Lumba clenched his fists.
Trudida shrugged, avoided Lumba's eyes, and said nothing.
Only Archduke Lecco looked at Lombard without flinching from beginning to end.
"How's it going, Charmaine?" The old man's bald head looked particularly dazzling. His voice was very soft and slow, but had an aggressive momentum: "What's your answer?"
Lumba grinned his lips and gritted his teeth, like a wild animal demonstrating before it pounces on food.
"Charmaine," Trudida's tone was contradictory, as if he was very nervous. He pursed his lips slightly: "One word is enough."
Thales frowned: he saw the fists on Lumba's waist began to tremble.
The face of the Grand Duke of Black Sand became increasingly ugly, like a lion whose territory had been violated.
Thales' heart also followed his expression.
Finally, after several seconds, Lumba closed his eyes and let out a long sigh of relief.
The princes stared at him intently.
As if that was the most important moment in the world.
The next second, Lumba opened his eyes and spoke.
But what came through was not any words.
"Hahaha……"
Lumba raised his head, grinned his lips, and let out a sad and uncontrollable laugh.
"Hahahahaha..."
The laughter grew louder and louder.
The princes looked at his performance, their eyes gradually darkened.
Thales gently stretched out his hand and held the flustered Thelma.
Lumba's laughter finally stopped.
"Forget it, it's time," Lumba turned his head, showing an indifferent expression of relief: "No matter what I say, there is no difference, right?"
"Even if we hit Yongxing City," Grand Duke Heisha turned around, looked at his sword, and said in a cold tone, "You will continue to monitor me and be wary of my every move, for fear that I will shake your interests."
"You will not allow any so-called seeds or flames of change to appear in the land of Exeter."
Archduke Alessio gritted his teeth unwillingly: "So, your choice..."
"I just think it's ironic," Lumba's expression changed and he suddenly raised his voice: "Why don't you understand?"
"When it is clear that a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is in front of us, when the opportunity to defeat the stars and change history is within reach," Lumba gritted his teeth, looked at the heavy expressions of each grand duke, and growled in a depressed voice: "Why are you all acting like this?
What about a coward?"
Lumba turned around suddenly and faced the four archdukes with a look of disbelief on his face: "The ending has not happened at all. The matter has not reached the last step at all. I am just listening to a child talking nonsense. You are like a group of frightened antelopes.
Hide to the west, hide your head and shrink your tail."
The princes looked at each other, speechless.
"You are so stupid that you cannot even see through the truth that even a little boy knows, and you are so cowardly that you dare not even touch the most worn-out stereotypes..."
"Then get out of the way!" Lumba's face twisted, and he suddenly raised the scabbard: "The oath of co-governance, the destruction of the family, the severance of the bloodline, the loss of power, and the decline of status are all these damn reasons!"
"Exter, what do you think this is?"
"Aren't we people from the North?" Grand Duke Heisha gritted his teeth, waved his scabbard, and moved his cloak: "We don't ask 'can we do it?', we only ask 'should we do it?' The people from the North are more afraid of failure than they are afraid of death!
"
"Is not it!"
His painful and difficult questioning voice echoed through the hall.
"It seems that the result is already very clear." Grand Duke Lecco sighed softly and closed his eyes.
Trudida covered her forehead and sighed longly.
Ronnie let out a faint chuckle.
Olesio looked sad.
Thales closed his eyes gently, only to feel that the boulder pressing him in his heart had loosened.
He looked at Lumba with an unusual expression, breathed out a sigh of relief, and said silently in his heart:
This round, the move is over.
General.
