Chapter 545 Rebellion 13

The position of Lord of Arda cannot remain vacant for a long time, this is what Hansel is thinking at this time.

Should I remind everyone here not to dwell on their sorrow, but to determine the candidate for the new lord as soon as possible. The Graiman family has been in the Northwest Bay for more than a hundred years, and it seems that there are many branches.

Wait... Hansel suddenly thought that if... if no suitable heir could be found, the territory of Alda - and Emden, which is now attached to Alda, would logically be taken back by the royal family. Including all assets on the land.

Thinking of this, Hansel Abbott's heart beat wildly. If... if... he could convince everyone here to dedicate their territory to the royal family, what a huge achievement it would be. Now Alda is A huge gold brick that couldn't be more pure.

no! Hansel quickly poured himself a basin of cold water.

If it was two years ago, maybe I would have tried my best to promote this matter without hesitation.

But now Hansel has other considerations. Thinking about how insignificant he is in the eyes of the big shots in the royal capital. The little position he gained was obtained through his connection with Paul Grayman. If this land The assets on the land and land were taken back by the royal family, and they lost their value as a link. Will those big shots take this huge credit on themselves?

Hansel thought for a moment and felt that it was more likely that he would be kicked away.

So he immediately threw this childish idea out of his head and turned back to finding a new lord.

But, is it appropriate for me to propose it alone?

He set his sights on Bernard Francis, the lord's secretary across from Jingyao who also came from Jingyao.

The lord's secretary did not respond to him, but stared blankly at the candlestick on the table.

"My lords!" A loud voice broke the silence in the hall.

Lieutenant Burgan from the training office opened the door and walked in, attracting everyone's attention at once.

"I know that Lord Grayman's passing is a sad thing." He said seriously, "but now is not the time to mourn."

What did he want to say? This is what everyone is thinking in their heads.

"We must have a new lord as soon as possible."

Burgan's words suddenly caused an explosion in the castle hall.

Old Ford pointed angrily and tremblingly at the young officer, "Do you know what you are talking about? Burgan!"

"It doesn't make sense! It doesn't make sense!" Cecil kept shaking his head.

"Master Grayman's body is still cold, are you thinking about pleasing your new master?"

"No matter what, the traitor who assassinated Lord Gray must be brought to justice before we can discuss the matter of the new lord."

Everyone unanimously condemned this bold officer.

There are even many officials who have no contact with the military on weekdays. They are muttering in their hearts, who is this reckless young man? Does he have a role to speak here?

Hansel secretly thought that he was lucky. Fortunately, he didn't say anything about supporting a new lord just now, otherwise he would be the one being targeted now.

Someone started to attack Burgan: "Did you arrange so many militiamen on the street? The entire town in the middle of the lake is under martial law. Who gave you the power?"

As if he had anticipated everyone's reaction, there was no trace of panic on Burgan's face.

He approached the conference table and unfolded a scroll of parchment for everyone to see.

Then he said in a deep voice: "My lords, Mr. Schroeder appointed me as the military leader of Huxin Town. The reason for martial law is because we received top-secret intelligence. There are conspirators lurking in Huxin Town plotting to launch a rebellion. This It seems to be closely related to the assassination of Lord Grayman."

At a glance, those present saw that the scroll was indeed stamped with the official seal of the General Staff. Chief of Staff Schroeder is the most prestigious and powerful person in the Alda army besides Paul. It makes sense for him to give orders to the army at this time.

"Wait! Where is Schroeder? Why doesn't he come over, and where are Kelly and Ron?"

Old Ford asked with some confusion. Even if the four battalion commanders led the troops to the field training, the chief of staff and the two heads of the equipment department and logistics department were also in Huxin Town. Why did they have to rely on an unknown person? Where is the director of the training department?

The old manager of the Government Affairs Council started, and everyone had their own questions in their minds.

"How did you know about the Lord's assassination?"

"Yeah, who told you?"

Questions came out all over the place.

Burgan frowned. Sure enough, things would not develop according to the most ideal course. Fortunately, he was prepared.

He called out, "Come in, Stefano."

A man who looked seriously injured walked in. His head was tightly bandaged, and only half of his face was exposed. There were blood scabs in many places, and large amounts of blood seeped out of the bandages, and his chest His entire right arm was also bandaged, and he was limping when he walked, and his whole body was extremely weak when he walked.

"Stefano?"

Old Ford and Philip recognized him as one of the guards at the Lord's Mansion.

There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!

"So... Lord Grayman was indeed killed?"

Philip asked the guard tremblingly.

Stefano lowered his head, and seemed to dare not look at them, whispered, "Yes, Master Philip."

Bernard, who has been silent, suddenly asked, "How did you come back?"

"I ... Lord Graman ordered me to break out and brought the news of the ambush back to Huxin Town -he was seriously injured and was inconvenient to move. I was ashamed that we were protecting Master Graman. Breakout ... "

"Breakout?"

"Yes, the traitors surrounded us with the cover of dense forests. They seem to be very familiar with the landforms there, and there are many people."

"Do you know who is the traitor?"

"Sorry, no one I know."

The crowd was about to continue asking, but was interrupted by Bolgan.

"Let me answer the questions of Lord Ford just now -why Schroeda Chiefs and others are not here."

He shouted and frowned, "In fact, shortly after Stefano brought the news back, we received an emergency report from the border -the army around the territory was gathered."

"The army of other lords?"

Bulgan's words put everyone present in a huge state of shock.

Why is it on this festival? Isn't this proper internal concern and external troubles? Everyone thought of a horrible possibility of horror. This time the internal anxiety and external problems were closely related. The person who attacked Paul ... Is there any external forces behind them?

"In view of this ..." Bolgan continued, "The army who goes out of the wild cannot be contacted temporarily, so Lord Schroder made an urgent move to the border to deploy defense."
