Thales shook his head.

coming.

He raised his head, looked at Thelma on the steps, and gave him a reassuring smile.

It's fine.

Just like many years ago.

"No," Count Curtson said, not taking advantage of Ian's self-righteous humor. "I only know that a self-righteous clown insulted the entire Longxiao City yesterday, and today he came to us with a playful smile and asked us for help.

Send troops to save them."

Looking at Ian who stood upright, the vassals gave him cold looks.

"Ask for help?"

"save?"

Ian raised his eyebrows, seeming a little surprised.

But the next second, he showed an expression of "I see" and then grinned.

"Hahahahaha," Ian, who was laughing, shook his head and waved his hands, as if he had heard the most unbelievable rumor: "No, no, no, I think everyone, including the Grand Duchess, may have misunderstood what I meant.

"

From the Grand Duchess down, the six earls all showed strange expressions, and the other dozen or so vassals also frowned...

"Actually, I never said anything about 'send troops' from the beginning to the end," Ian shrugged innocently, blinking at Thales at his side imperceptibly: "And I represent Qiyuan City.

, and they are not here to ask for help from Longxiao City."

The voice fell.

Thales clearly saw that almost all the nobles in the hall were slightly stunned.

Even the envoys from Qiyuan City were no exception. The Death Crow even showed an exaggerated "what" mouth shape to Old Boney beside him.

This was also the reaction of the Grand Duchess.

"What?" Thelma said in surprise.

"We can solve the war problem ourselves," Ian waved his hand nonchalantly: "You are very reasonable: If we can't even solve the problem of those trash from the Freedom Alliance, wouldn't it be too embarrassing for the Northlanders?

Already?"

Everyone was stunned.

The nobles in the hall looked at each other one after another, as if they couldn't understand the meaning of this sentence.

The six most important earls fell into deep thought.

"But you are gathering allies across the country to isolate the king," Count Nazer said thoughtfully: "Once we fall into a war that cannot be resolved quickly, the appeals of Grand Duke Qiyuancheng to jointly resist the king will all become empty talk."

"Oh, I'm really just here to ask the Grand Duchess to sign a letter of condemnation against the king," Ian's smile remained unchanged. He raised a finger and waved it in the air: "But believe me, we don't need you.

send troops."

Nazer subconsciously looked towards Lisban, only to find that his old friend and rival just kept silent.

Something is wrong.

"Then Qiyuan City..." The Grand Duchess sitting on the seat frowned slightly: "What are you here for?"

Ian took a deep breath, the smile on his face slowly disappeared, and his whole person became serious.

He turned his head and looked around at the confused vassals.

"Twenty years ago, when my grandfather was seriously ill, the princes were suspicious, the fiefdom was unstable, and my father was worried..."

Ian sighed slowly, and then spoke boldly in a sonorous and powerful tone: "Faced with the rebellion of the Freedom Alliance, and under the heavy pressure of the White Mountain and even the Kangmas people's brazen intervention, His Majesty Nunn made a wise decision and dispatched without hesitation.

Prince Suril leads the troops to the west to help fight for Qiyuan City."

With a sad expression on his face, Ian bowed deeply to Thelma sitting on the seat: "This kindness and meaning will always be remembered in the hearts of the Ronnie family."

The vassals looked at His Excellency the Viscount's unusual behavior and felt endless confusion in their hearts.

Thelma glanced at Thales.

Ian straightened up, his eyes showing reverence and excitement: "And that war created the glory of the Walton family: whether it was the army of the Freedom Alliance, the mercenaries secretly sent by Camus, or the elite troops of the White Elves,

When they faced Longxiao City and Exeter's world-strong army, they were all defeated at the first touch and were far from worthy."

Thales was secretly amused when he heard this: You said it as if you had witnessed what happened twenty years ago, nineteen-year-old Sir Ian.

"Madam, your father and grandfather, oh, including all the families who joined the Western Expedition," Ian smiled at the vassals: "You have spread the reputation of Longxiao City and the Dragonlance family on the golden corridor, shocking Kang Kang.

Mars, forced the white elves back, and the influence remains to this day."

"That is your grandfather's historical achievements, your father's military exploits, and the glory and honor of your family."

Nikolai the Fallen Star grinned slightly, while Monty the Dead Crow in the audience shrugged tacitly.

Count Nazer frowned: Why did he say these words...

Could it be...

"But I can also see that the great Longxiao City is in trouble." His expression was exactly the same as that of Count Nazer who was just heartbroken: "The scene just now made me worried: you want to follow in the footsteps of your father and ancestors and protect the

The family's glory is difficult to achieve due to the situation in Longxiao City."

"The Waltons are left in the dust."

The expressions of the five earls except Lisban became more and more ugly, and their eyes became more and more suspicious.

"But it doesn't matter!"

Ian clenched his fists and waved vigorously.

His Excellency the Viscount of Qiyuan City took a step forward without hesitation: "Let me, the heir of the Roni family, Ian Roni of Qiyuan City, make up for your regret."

The Grand Duchess looked at him confused and blinked: "Huh?"

Thales lowered his head: Very good, everything went as planned.

Hope there are no surprises.

However, it is obviously a step in the plan...

But what is going on with this slight discomfort in my heart?

Thales unconsciously closed his fists.

I saw Ian's eyes were firm and his words were sonorous: "Selma, please relax: I will represent Qiyuan City, lead the army on the road your father has traveled on, carry the flag of the Dragonlance family, and bear the honor of your family.

, go out to fight the Freedom Alliance!"

His sudden change of address to the Grand Duchess shocked many people.

"In the name of the Walton family and the Ronnie family, I will teach those wastes of the alliance a lesson, rebuild our history, and once again plant the Dragon Spear flag in the clouds and the Knight's Code flag on the top of Liberty Castle, so that all

The chant of the minstrel found belongs to us, to Exeter's great victory!"

"I will tell our enemy, Thelma Walton, the granddaughter of King Nun and the daughter of Prince Suriel," Ian behaved like a fanatical recruit: "Has taken back the Dragonlance family.

debt!"

Facing his aggressive look, the Grand Duchess was slightly panicked.

Count Nazer, who realized something, gritted his teeth and said: "That's enough, Ian Ge..."

But the count failed to interrupt Ian.

"Please rest assured that the glory of the Walton family will not be diminished by half because Longxiao City did not send troops," Ian took a deep breath, his eyes full of pride and excitement: "Because soon, everyone will

Everyone will know that this war is not just Exeter's war against the Free League."

"It is me, Ian Ronny of Qiyuan City, fighting for Thelma Walton of Longxiao City!"

The whole hall was boiling!

Nicolai had to maintain order again and suppress the noise of dissatisfaction and confusion among the vassals, although he also looked very bad.

"Wait a minute," the Grand Duchess seemed to finally feel something was wrong. She stammered: "Your Excellency Ian, what are you..."

"And after the glorious victory, I will return with the glory of recreating your father's achievements," Ian ignored the astonished Selma and just immersed himself in his own world. He exhaled,

From "fanatical fighter" to "warm poet" in an instant:

"Of course, at that time, please kindly grant me a request, a request that makes me feel humble and unbearable."

"Please, please?" Thelma's face turned pale.

For the first time, she looked at each other with the six countes sitting there who also had ugly faces.

It seemed that only at this moment, they were the ones standing together.

Ian stretched out his hands and gestured gently to the Grand Duchess on the seat: "This is Qiyuan City's reward, and it is also my sincerity, Thelma."

"I will use this great war to win the qualification to be close to you. At this moment, when the vassals are alienated and the territory is in internal strife, I am the only one who can safeguard the honor of your family and the only one who protects your prestige as a grand duke.
