Chapter 134 Reasons for Rejecting Marriage
When thinking of this, Brand admitted that he was a little tempted.
Of course, it’s just a few.
Soon, he used great perseverance to break free from that temptation.
Then he said to Louise:
"Louise, although your proposal is indeed very tempting, I would rather gain territory through my own efforts rather than through marriage."
Hearing Brand's answer, Louise felt a little bit Unexpected.
According to the plan, when she mentioned the matter to this point, even if Brand did not agree immediately, he should at least fall into deep thought for a long time.
But why did you reject it so simply?
After Brand finished speaking, he saw no reaction from Louise.
He continued:
"Miss Louise, as I said before, although the marriage has not been confirmed, I am still willing to help you with your plan to save the dowry. No. Do you know how much money you want to borrow? "
Brand said this.
Louise was a little confused.
When did she say she wanted to borrow money?
Seeing the confusion on Louise's face, Brand was also a little confused. He asked:
"Aren't you going to buy slaves from Uncle Anthony and train them into soldiers?"
< br>Hearing what Brand said about this, Louise shook her head and explained:
"I can still afford ordinary bandits. I want to invite you to catch some powerful ones together." Bandit.
When the 6th Infantry Regiment has established a foothold in the chaotic area, we will have a period of free movement, and then I will need your help."
Brand was a little surprised and said: "Can the robbers catch themselves?"
"That's not true."
Louise shook her head again, and then explained with a smile:
“I am a slave trader certified by the empire, so I have the right to capture bandits as slaves on my own. I only need to register them when I go back.
As for the Sixth Infantry Regiment, Uncle Anthony will Treat it as something you didn’t see.”
After hearing Louise's explanation, Brand realized that he had thought wrong.
Because the plan has changed.
Louis quickly said goodbye and left, walking towards her tent.
——She brought a magic communication device with her when she went out this time. She wanted to ask if she had any other plans for the future.
……
Fort Romine, in front of the empty screen.
Master Romien is chatting with a group of allies, and is also waiting for Louise's reply.
According to the plan, tonight will be the first "decisive moment"!
If Brand agrees, then they can start discussing the engagement directly!
——Things have been delayed for so long, and some of the great masters can’t wait!
Just now, Count Mesa had already gone to answer the magic communication from Louise.
I think it won’t be long before the “good news” comes from over there.
Soon, Earl Mesa returned to the empty screen.
To the surprise of all the allies, Count Mesa frowned and said:
"The plan failed. Brand simply rejected Louise's proposal without any intention. .”
As soon as Earl Mesa said these words, several lords frowned.
According to the plan, Brand should have some reaction no matter what, right?
Count Claude was a little confused and asked: "Did she make a mistake in her statement? Or did she not explain it clearly?"
Count Mesa said: "There is no doubt about this, Louise It’s according to our manuscript.”
At this time, Earl Romine asked: “Did Brand say anything?”
Count Mesa said: "Brand said that instead of marrying, he would rather obtain territory through his own efforts."
Hearing what Count Mesa said, Count Romine frowned and said:
"Brand should think that he can obtain the territory he wants by himself. An army is dispensable. If Brand has such a high vision, things will be more troublesome."
After Earl Romine said this, the atmosphere became somewhat silent. ——An army is dispensable. Who knows what kind of things Brand will be excited about?
After a while of silence, Mr. Holland stood up and suggested:
"Why don't you just wait for me to beat him up in the duel?"
Viscount Robert rubbed his chin. , said to Mr. Holland:
“But what if you lose? If Brand really beats you, I won’t want to let this son-in-law go!”
Mr. Holland waved his hand and said: "This is absolutely impossible!"
Although Mr. Holander looked confident, the other allies had their own thoughts.
Indeed, as Viscount Robert said, if Brand really defeated Mr. Holland, then they would not want to let Brand go as their son-in-law!
And the reason why they gathered together to design Brand was to be "on the safe side"!
Originally they thought Brand would not be able to withstand that kind of temptation, but they did not expect that his determination was stronger than they imagined!
After a moment of silence, Mr. Romien said:
"Let's do this for now. Let me think about it and talk about it tomorrow."
After the empty screen went dark, Romien walked to the table behind the empty screen and sat down.
Looking at Chris sitting opposite, Mr. Romien said with an unhappy look:
"Okay Chris, you win again, I will prepare a dowry for you. It will be delivered to you later.”
Hearing what Master Romine said, Chris smiled and said:
"Then thank you, father."
After saying this, Mr. Romien was a little confused and said:
"I am a little curious as to why you were sure that the plan would fail. ? Have you tempted Brand with a similar plan? "
...
On Brand's side, after Louise left, Catherine looked at Brand with some curiosity. Asked:
"Master, is there any other reason why you rejected Ms. Louise?"
"Yes."
After confirming Catherine's guess, Brand simply explained a few words :
“First of all, the tone of Louise’s words was rather stiff, and I suspected that someone was planning behind it.
If I agree to this one, there may be more to come. , or even countless, it is best to reject this kind of thing from the source
Secondly, if there is a pioneering war tomorrow and Louise comes to me with an army for marriage, I might consider it.
After all, I really don’t have many troops or forces under my command now, but the problem is that the pioneering war is not tomorrow. "
Seeing Catherine's confusion, Brand made another analogy:
"For example, Yersin is very hungry, so he is now willing to spend a high price to buy a piece of bread.
But when he is not hungry, he is not willing to spend the high price, he is not even willing to bid! ”
Listening to what Brand said, Catherine gradually understood:
"The young master is saying that we can accumulate enough strength in one year. By then, Miss Louise's army will Will it be insignificant?"
"In addition, there is one last reason."
Brand nodded, and then talked about the last reason:
"If I cannot defeat Mr. Holland, then the marriage will continue, and the army in Louise's hands will definitely be used by me.
But if I defeat Mr. Holland, it’s just an ordinary army, and I won’t take him seriously!
From a profit perspective, neither party will lose! Why should I take a stand now? ”
——Rationally speaking, this is the case, but emotionally speaking, Brand still wants to defeat Mr. Holland in a duel so that he can no longer dictate the marriage!
......
The next day, Louise brought the march plan of the 6th Imperial Infantry Regiment beyond the national border.
After tomorrow, the Sixth Infantry Regiment of the Empire will begin to march towards the chaotic zone outside the national border.
The scouts have already explored the distribution map of various forces in the chaotic zone.
In order to ensure the supply of the army, their first target will be a neutral city in the chaotic zone: Core City.
