Renn took the car back, and Osliya followed silently.
The windshield of the car was pierced by the gunman, but the car was not damaged, and the driver was not injured. He was just a little scared and quickly returned to normal.
The silver-equipped knights followed the car and returned on the same road. The onlookers of Modu laughed, as if they had won a victory against foreign enemies.
"It was a good opportunity just now."
Osliya suddenly spoke and said, "Rossa Logues is not weak, but I can solve him. There is no need to give in like this. This will make the nobles of Modu doubt your determination."
Renn heard the dissatisfaction in her words.
Master Anxi asked himself to visit Modu in order to attract the attention of the Modu nobles, and to make the bigger the matter, the better. It is best to turn Modu into earth, so that the enemy will expose some problems.
If I had just fought with Rosa Logos, then the goal would be achieved initially.
Renn glanced at the invisible Rainbow Dragon from the corner of his eyes. Her watch was even colder than before. Obviously, she felt that she was scared just now.
"I have my own considerations." He said, but did not explain carefully.
Osliya didn't ask any more questions.
Ren could detect that the student of the Holy Soul Wizard looked down on himself a little.
He didn't care.
As a chess piece, he was self-aware and had never thought about jumping out of the chess game, but he was unwilling to be completely controlled by others like a puppet, and rushed forward without thinking.
Doing this may satisfy Master Anxi, but it also puts himself in great danger and eventually lose both his life and wealth.
Rennes also has his own ambitions. Glamorgan is an excellent territory, with only a handful of geographical locations and economic values throughout the empire.
Not only did he want to be a pawn, he also wanted to truly take this territory into his hands.
Then, you must not act recklessly.
The great mentor teaches us who are our enemies and who are our friends, which is the primary issue of the struggle.
The seven local lords in Modu are obviously not a monolithic piece of paper. They cannot be treated simply as a whole. They must understand their position.
The most complicated thing in the world is the human heart. It is very difficult to distinguish other people's positions, but if you have the eyes of soul, you can easily judge the other party's attitude towards us. If you don't make good use of it, you will be a fool.
After understanding their interests, win over a group, crack down on a group, and divide them.
The attitude of Rosa just now is very interesting.
Renne thought to himself: "Looking for an opportunity to contact Rosa, maybe Viscount Stoind is a target that can be won over."
The car soon returned to the near the dock, where there was a bridge across the Jero River. After crossing the bridge, it was the territory of Count Glamorgan.
Before Rennes arrived, there had been no lord in this territory for more than 60 years.
According to imperial laws, after a lord dies, the title and fief are taken over by descendants of the direct bloodline. If the direct bloodline is cut off but there are side branches, the lord's loyalty will be chosen by the lord, such as a duke, from the side branches.
If there is no loyalty partner, this territory will be reclaimed by the empire and will become a direct jurisdiction of the empire, and will never become a territory of the new nobles again.
In the history of the empire, most of the true nobles died like this.
There were originally more than a dozen lords in the Modu area, but now there are only seven families left. Their fiefs are theoretically directly under the imperial control.
However, the nobles in Modu are too powerful, and strong dragons do not defeat local snakes.
The imperial officials sent by the consuls to airborne cannot defeat the nobles at all, and they are basically undermined. The territory is actually controlled by the nobles around them, and they are annexed in another way.
The same goes for Glamorgan.
At present, the person responsible for managing the territory is a general manager nominally appointed by the Duke of Silver Star. In fact, this general manager is a person selected by the local nobles of Modu.
If you want to accept the territory, you must snatch the governance power from this manager.
Rennes checked the previous Earls of Glamorgan, and the first step was to take out the documents enthroned by the Duke of Silver Star, and demanded that the general manager step down and hand over the territory.
This is supported by the imperial law, but the general manager will not give in easily, delay with various reasons, or even deny the truth of the document and directly refuse.
This manager usually does not have much strength, but there are a lot of guards to protect him, and there are many legendary extraordinary people. It is difficult to force the opponent to give way.
The first seven Earls of Glamorgan, who were conferred by the Duke of Silver Star, were all helpless.
Only the previous earl, the legendary wizard, found an opportunity to kill the general manager directly, and then successfully regained the sovereignty of the territory.
This is just the first step. After becoming a lord, you have to do rule, collect taxes, public security, and administration. These things need to be done by people. Even if the legendary wizard has absolute strength and relying on himself alone, he will be in a mess and make a mess.
At the same time, we have to face the counterattack of the Modu nobles.
All kinds of open and hidden arrows cannot relax at all times. The legendary wizard was already very cautious, but was seriously injured by the assassin and forced to leave the territory, and all his previous efforts were wasted.
Renn looked at the silver knight outside the car, plus Mondeba and the Secret Phoguard, and there were only twenty-six people in total.
Such a few people can't rule the territory at all.
Needless to think about it, Duke of Silver Star did not expect that she could really accept the Glamorgan leader. She was just cooperating with Master Anxi's plan.
Otherwise, at least hundreds of silver knights and a large number of civilian personnel would be sent.
Of course, this is just a guess. The mind of the Holy Soul Wizard is not something that ordinary people can guess. Maybe the Duke of Silver Star will have more support in the future.
Renn thought for a long time, and the buildings outside the car window gradually became shorter and less dense.
This is close to the suburbs.
He opened the map and took a look, and suddenly said loudly: "Wait a minute, let's walk from Bishui Street."
The voice reached the two knights who were opening the way ahead. The two of them were able to recognize the way, but when they heard Renne's order, hesitated and looked at Pansil.
Bishui Street is the location of the lord of the Glamorgan Territory. There is a huge castle. It is built on the only hill in the territory, which is a little higher than the surrounding area. At the foot of the mountain, there is a small river surrounded by green rivers, so it is called Bishui High Castle. All the Earls of Glamorgan have lived in it, which is equivalent to the administrative center and is now the office location of the general manager.
As soon as Rennes arrived at Modu, he rushed straight to Bishui Gao Fort. If he was impulsive and wanted to attack directly, he might have been wiped out.
Oshylia's voice sounded: "I don't support you."
Pansil went to the car window and asked in a low voice: "My Count?"
"I just want to pass by and take a look." Renne explained with a smile.
Pansil felt relieved when he saw that he didn't look impulsive. Seeing that she nodded slightly, the silver-equipped Knight continued to move forward. The car and the team changed direction and headed to the Bishui Road.
