Chapter 301 The Second Lion Heart Alliance


Chapter 301 The Second Lionheart Alliance

Principality of Bosque, Strafbourg, Hall of the Lions.

All the northern nobles gathered together again, and they were arranged on both sides of the luxurious long table according to their title and power.

The person sitting in the main seat is undoubtedly the initiator of this meeting, the honorary monarch of the United Kingdom of Northland, and the current leader of the Bosque family - Archduke Leo Bosque.

But the atmosphere at the scene was quite solemn, because this was not a relaxed and joyful banquet with singing and dancing, but a meeting related to the fate of Northland and even the entire Anzeta. It was even more important than the "Lion Heart" meeting forty years ago. Alliance".

Finally, Archduke Leo's voice, as heavy as a bell, broke the silent atmosphere.

"Everyone, since no one is willing to speak, I will speak out."

"Today's Northland has reached a critical point of life and death. The thousands of years of inheritance of our Scanyan people may be cut off here. And the culprit of all this is the greedy red dragon and his evil kingdom!"< br>


Grand Duke Leo's words were loud and impactful, like a hammer falling down, hitting everyone's hearts hard.

Suddenly, there was an uproar in the hall, with different expressions on the faces of the nobles, and even whispers.

In fact, most of the nobles also guessed the purpose of Archduke Leo inviting them here, but they did not expect that the Grand Duke's tone was so intense, as if he wanted to risk all his wealth, or even start a large-scale war.

"Your Excellency Leo, you have gone too far."

"Yeah."

"That red dragon hasn't caused trouble in five years. We can continue to appease him and strive for longer peace"

"Now may not be the best time."

"The Kingdom of Burning Ember is too powerful and wealthy. I'm afraid we need to be more prepared."

After a moment of discussion, some dissuasive voices also sounded one after another.

Grand Duke Leo stood up slowly and glanced at the faces of every noble present with meaningful eyes. His strong gray-white beard made him look like a seasoned and shrewd old lion, bringing a full impact to everyone present. sense of oppression.

It wasn't until the hall was quiet again that he said word by word:

"I know that some of you have collected the dirty gold coins of the Kingdom of Burning Ember and shamelessly become their agents for exploiting the Scanyans, and even taken the initiative to become the red dragon's dog."

Archduke Leo's tone paused deliberately, and his sharp eyes focused again, sweeping across several people like a sword.

Suddenly, the breathing of some of the nobles present almost stopped, and sweat oozed from their foreheads.

Archduke Leo winked, and the well-prepared and fully armed soldiers swarmed forward and held up several unsuspecting nobles.

"Wait, don't touch me! I'm a count!"

"Grand Duke, it's not me!"

"We are not cooperating with the Ember Kingdom!"

"That's a naked slander. You listened to other people's slander!" "It's not just us, the Arles family also did it! It must be them who poured dirty water on me!"

Those nobles were crying, begging for mercy, and even wanted to expose other families.

But under the look of Archduke Leo, the soldiers covered their mouths with cloths and took the panicked nobles out of the hall without mercy.

"Click!"

Soon, the sound of the blade falling on the guillotine was heard outside the hall.

In fact, these nobles are not the ones who have the most contact with the Burning Ember Kingdom. Their titles are not very high, and the highest status among them is an earl from the Principality of Fano.

Grand Duke Leo's idea is very clear. To use a borrowed word from the Kingdom of Burning Ember, this is called "killing chickens to scare the monkeys", so that the rest of the northern nobles will be frightened and stop cooperating with the Kingdom of Burning Ember.

At the same time, almost every principality has launched a few scapegoats, pinning all the charges of collaborating with the Burning Ember Kingdom on their heads, and also making the families with bad deeds look better. He has already cooperated with several of the most powerful dukes. By passing the Qi in advance, they also acquiesced to this punishment.

This is not only the personal decision of Archduke Leo, but also the result of the power struggle between several forces.

There was silence in the hall, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Grand Duke Leo stood where he was. Under the foreshadowing of several lives, he had become calm and self-possessed, even making some representatives of the minor nobles tremble.

Only then did they remember that the Duke, known as the "Lion of the North", had single-handedly conquered the major principalities and made the Principality of Bosque, which had been dormant for many years, once again become the leader of the North. Although Archduke Leo has been dormant for many years, his past glory is not in vain. He is a real hero.

"As the monarch of the United Kingdom of Northland, although I feel extremely sorry, I have to eradicate these pests."

"I hope you can take this as a warning."

He changed the topic and continued: "Maybe there are other people who have made such mistakes, but in the face of a powerful enemy, I can temporarily forgive you for your mistakes. You may just be greedy for small favors and forget the huge risks behind it. But please Remember, that is not a noble, but a greedy and cruel red dragon! ”

"Do any of you here remember the Luckman family?"

"No matter what they have done, the Luckman family is an important member of the Northland nobility. Their ancestors made great contributions to the United Kingdom of Northland hundreds of years ago. Therefore, the Luckman family is born with a noble status. This is indescribable. The facts we deny are also recognized by us.”

"But where are they now? They were wiped out by that red dragon!"

"The Kingdom of Burning Ember, I won't even call it a country, because it is more like a damn 'monster'. That 'monster' is filled with a terrifying, bloody trend of thought, and it will bring a new world to the world." Come to the most demanding order ”

"It doesn't care about your noble blood and orthodox birth. It only cares about whether it can become more powerful. To do this, it can kill nobles wantonly, let serfs step on our heads, and even turn us into the creatures it grows up. Nutrient, that will be the nightmare of all the nobles in the North!”

"Over the past few years, no one has opposed the Ember Kingdom as consistently as I have. Turning a blind eye to the difficulties and dangers will not solve the problems; standing by and doing nothing will not solve the problems; adopting a policy of appeasement will not help. What is needed now is a solution. The longer the problem is delayed, the more difficult it will be, and the greater the danger to us from the Burning Kingdom.

"Please remember, don't be blinded by immediate interests, otherwise the fate of the Luckman family will be your future! The thousand-year rule of the Northland nobles will be completely ended!"

To the end of this impassioned speech, Archduke Leo almost tried his best, and every strand of his beard and hair was trembling.

And in this majestic Lion Hall, whether forced by the situation or infected by his words, the nobles applauded thunderously and for a long time, just like the "Lions Heart Club" nearly forty years ago. Alliance" scene.
