Chapter 542： Rebellion Fourteen

"how so?"

An atmosphere of anxiety permeated the hall of the Lord's Mansion.

"This is a conspiracy! This must be a huge conspiracy!"

Philip was deeply saddened, "This group of vampires in the Northwest Gulf have been crowding out the Gravemans since they came to this land. Now that Arda is thriving under Graveman's rule, they are jealous again. !"

Bulgan said loudly: "Lord Ford, Lord Philip, and everyone here, we must immediately stabilize our position and unite the strength of the entire territory to avenge Lord Graeman."

"That's right!" Someone began to echo Bulgan.

Bulgan continued: "That's why I just suggested setting up a new lord immediately. Only when the lord's seat is not vacant can we have a backbone and the people in the territory will heed the call! In fact, this is also Lord Graeman's order. Leo Webster, he is Graham-sama's appointed heir."

"Ah?" After Bulgan said it, the people who were excited just now immediately turned cold again.

"You mean, Graham-sama decided on his heir...before he died?"

Everyone knows that Julio Webster is a branch of the Greiman family and a close relative of the current lord. He has a mansion in the south bank of Huxin Town, and he often comes to the lord's mansion walk around.

"Yes, that's what Stefano said. Otherwise, as an officer of the training department, how dare I say such presumptuous words in such a sacred place as the Lord's Mansion."

After a while of silence, Old Ford, the director of the Government Affairs Council, said, "Stefano, do you have the written order from your lord?"

The guard named Stefano shook his head, "It was too chaotic at the time, and the count was seriously injured, so no written order was given."

Butler Philip said desolately: "Based on the blood relationship, the Stefano family is indeed the most qualified to inherit the lordship, but..." He turned his attention to the director of the Government Affairs Council.

Don't have a written order? Such an important matter is only based on word of mouth... Manager Ford felt a little puzzled.

He shook his head and said: "The heir to the territory is a matter of great importance, and it cannot be decided in such a hasty manner, and... moreover, it needs to be discussed with Earl Garnard who is still in Bairding. opinion is very important.”

Bulgan was very puzzled, "Why should we listen to Bairdin's opinion on Arda's affairs?"

Old Ford replied: "Pay attention to your words, don't you know that under the promotion of the two earls, Arda, Bairding and Emden have become an inseparable whole. In fact, except Earl Garnard My lord, the nobles of Emden's vassal realms also have the right to express their opinions on the matter of successors—after all, they also swore allegiance to Lord Graman after the War of the Ustors."

hateful! Bulgan cursed inwardly. All along, his attitude towards Bairding and Emden has been—that is the land conquered and ruled by Arda, and he only needs to obediently obey the instructions from Lake Town.

Bulgan insisted: "But this is Master Graham's order!"

Old Ford also insisted: "The monarch's heir is never the sole responsibility of the monarch! Besides... come!" The two guards immediately entered the hall after hearing the order, which made Burgan panic, but fortunately, he didn't show it on his face.

The director of the Government Affairs Council ordered in a dignified tone: "Find a room in the Lord's Mansion for Stefano to recuperate, but he is not allowed to leave the Lord's Mansion."

Stefano had a look of horror in one of his exposed eyes. "Come with us, Stefano." The two guards who came in greeted the injured companion.

Stefano turned his neck slightly and glanced at Bulgan-this detail was captured by many people-of course, Bulgan did not respond to him.

The two guards retreated with Stefano.

"My lord, what does this mean?"

"It is also possible that he has rebelled. The rebels sent him back."

Old Ford said so, thinking back to Stefano's glance at Bulgan just now, he must have a good interrogation of this Stefano when he has time, and ask him every detail of Paul's attack, if he is Those sent by traitors will always have one or two flaws.

Moreover, as the head of the Government Affairs Council, he knew that in Fulan Port, there was a group of Jiaowan immigrants with special identities and strange abilities. Perhaps some of them could discern lies.

Alas, thinking of this, Old Ford sighed in his heart. It's a pity that Ms. Ladi Setia is not here. She went with Lord Graman, and there is a high probability... I called her into the Government Council at the beginning.

Unexpectedly, things would turn out like this, Bulgan turned his mind quickly, and said, "It takes two or three days to ride a fast horse back and forth to Bairding, and it's even farther to Emden. But Now is an extraordinary moment, which is about the life and death of Arda. If there is no one who has the same status as the invaders—the level of a lord—to speak out, those foreign lords who are eyeing us will use the difference in status to suppress us, making us We are in a disadvantageous position. Therefore, I still suggest to establish a new lord immediately, and immediately write a letter to those who have bad intentions as the lord of Huxin Town, let them know that we have a new leader, and internally insist on Like a rock."

"This..." Old Ford tugged at his beard and murmured, and what Bulgan said made sense.

"Mr. FordEveryone here. I can trust Mr. Gardner, but what about the others, if they insist on bringing soldiers to Huxin Town, will they be right about who will inherit it? How about the position of the lord to dictate? Do you want these outsiders to dictate?"

Of course, everyone was unwilling to do so.

"Therefore, I suggest," Bulgan said loudly, "Let Lord Graeman appoint His Excellency Yurio to perform his duties as the acting lord for a period of time, and negotiate with the outside world in the name of the lord, at least to get through the current predicament first, and wait until After the situation stabilizes, we will discuss who will officially inherit the lord."

"this…"

Old Ford stroked his beard. Acting lord? Seems like a viable option.

Not only Ford executives, but also the officials present whispered to each other, and many people thought it was okay.

Bulgan's hands were sweating, and he was very nervous. If it still doesn't work, he can only call in the militia outside under his control.

But the situation would be much more complicated that way, and it would completely tear the faces of the people in power in Huxin Town. If they refused to cooperate, they would have to kill.
