Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 337 The Civil War
Don't say that Stannis didn't know about this news. None of the participants at the meeting in the small black room heard the news about the death of His Majesty the Emperor.

"Old man, where did you get this news?" Stannis looked confused. The news of the emperor's death did not cause any waves in the empire. The emperor of the Condor Empire really did not do well.

Counselor Romon remained mysterious, only disclosing the source of the news after he was sure that no one around was overhearing.

"A classmate of mine in Xuecheng accidentally revealed in a letter that His Majesty the Emperor has not appeared on the Supreme Throne in the White Tower for nearly a month, and at the same time several of his confidants died mysteriously, so the emperor is now rumored Four times, they all believed that His Majesty the Emperor had passed away, after all, there have been many reports of His Majesty's critical illness since last year. It's just that the news is strictly sealed in the capital, so even a small lord like Your Excellency doesn't know about it."

"Little lord, do you mean that all the big lords know about it?"

Counselor Romon nodded, "The princes of the Nine Kingdoms have their eyes and ears all over the imperial capital, so this news must not be hidden from them. Now it's time to stand in line to support who will ascend the throne. I am afraid that the civil war that will split the empire will end in the near future. will come."

"But what does this have to do with me? A petty lord like me is not qualified to go to Beijing to mourn funerals, right?" Regarding this point, Stannis was still self-aware.

But this time it was Robert's turn to speak. He seemed to be very clear about the current situation. The Duke of West Asia can now close the door to deal with family affairs, and there is no obstacle for him to destroy any family. I believe that the imperial army stationed here will return soon, and by then this place will be completely controlled by Garcia."

"If that's the case, the first thing he wants to do is me!" Stannis swallowed, he finally realized how bad the emperor's death would be for him.

"Isn't that going to war!" On the contrary, Korodov shouted excitedly.

Stannis gave him a blank look. This stupid big man is still obsessed with the so-called knight merits at this time. The Duke wants to kill him. Don't gather other lords. He can gather [-] troops under his command alone. Spit over there could drown them.

"Bachelor Dana, how many people do we have now?" Although he was quite frightened, Stannis still pretended to be calm. Before going to war, he at least had to feel the strength in his hand clearly.

Dai Na is fully qualified for the position her grandfather held before, she quickly checked the records, and gave the answer the lord wanted: "Your Excellency, now your Thunder Legion has two regiments of about 700 people, and the Watchers have A regiment of 400 people."

Stannis scratched his head, still feeling very embarrassed. Although it is much stronger than the army of 60 old men when he first crossed, it was still not enough to face the vast army of the Duke. He really didn't know what to do. Turn the tide in front of absolute strength.

"By the way, if I decide to go to war with the Duke, which families will stand by my side?" Stannis thought of allies who would provide him with assistance.

Dana had already prepared news about this aspect, she quickly flipped through a page, and began to talk about it one by one.

"First of all, the Dill, Doug, and Buffalo families around you. We can be sure that they are your hardcore allies and will stand firmly on your side when the war starts. Together, the three of them can provide about [-] infantry , eighty archers and thirty cavalry."

Stannis nodded, he is still very confident in the Eastern Mirror Alliance.

"Next is the Howth family. Although he has signed a defensive alliance with you, he is unlikely to send troops. When you go to war with the Duke, they will most likely remain neutral. If they send troops to help, they can provide six hundred soldiers."

Stannis maintained a cautious attitude towards this weak family, as long as they remained neutral between themselves and the Duke, what he valued most was the excellent horses provided by this family.

"Next is the Marquis Frode family. Although he is the father of your fiancée, he is likely to remain neutral. However, if he is willing to help you, we will get the assistance of 3000 soldiers. At the same time, his subordinates The strength of his vassals is no less than [-]."

As expected of Dong Jing's guardian, the strength in his hand is enough to challenge the Duke. As long as he can win over his father-in-law, he can be regarded as a little bit capable of wrestling with the Duke.

But Robert, who was listening, broke the cold water, "Boss, I don't think it is possible for your prospective father-in-law to send troops for your unworthy son-in-law, unless..."

He didn't go on, but everyone in the room knew what he wanted to say next. Indeed, the only possibility for the Marquis of Floyd to send troops for him was to immediately marry his daughter, Stannis' fiancée Anne.

"... Take this matter for a while, so is there any lord who might stand on my side?" Stannis continued to ask.

"There are also the lords who survived the last White Expedition and the widows of the lords who died in battle. They have long been very dissatisfied with Duke Garcia's behavior of sending them to death. Maybe we can win them over."

Stannis knew the little Marquis Wayne and Seaworth she was talking about. It seemed that they had done a good job of keeping the secrecy secret. No one in the Principality knew that they were actually part of the same group.

"So how many people are there in total?" Stannis asked without changing his expression.

This stumped Dana, she had never thought about this aspect before, "Please wait a moment, Your Excellency, I will do the calculation."

While she was calculating, Stannis turned around and asked the Romon consultant bachelor: "Although the Griffin family, the previous Duke, was destroyed, since they have been able to rule the Duchy of Tanis for thousands of years, it is impossible to connect a little bit." Are there any old or young loyal to them? Do you think we can find them to conspire with them?"

Although his words were clearly meant for the old man, they were actually meant for Robert who was on the side. He quietly wanted to observe what his little brother would do when he heard the word 'Griffin' reaction.

And consultant Romon thinks his idea is good, "Indeed, although the rebellion on the surface disappeared 15 years ago, I still know that there are several ancient families that have not forgotten their oath to the Griffin family. If we find the blood of the old duke, they might stand by our side."
