The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword

Chapter 31: Praying Mantis and Oriole (1)

   In the morning, when the mercenaries and noble guards led by Aragorn changed their defenses, the young lieutenant took his men out of the city. This team of more than fifty people lined up in two rows, crossing the neat streets like two black lines, passing through the gate of Smolensk, and then disappearing on the horizon.

   And the grand strategy of winning the position planned by Xiao Anzumov also officially kicked off.

   "If this is a stage, then the protagonist today must be me." Little Anzumov thought. Passing through the iron fence of the castle, as in the past, Anzumov politely greeted the guards in front of the door. At this time, a voice came from behind him.

   "Good morning, count."

   The voice was a bit dull and deep, but Xiao Anzumov could tell it right away. This is the voice of the "victim" today.

   "You're early too, Senator Doronin." Xiao Anzumov turned his head and said with a smile. Although the two people have been fighting each other on weekdays, they still maintained a friendly appearance on the bright side. Especially when Xiao Anzumov thought that after today, this Congressman Doronin would go to see God, and his smile became even more friendly and kind.

"It's weird, how do I feel that this guy's smile is a bit ill-intentioned." Obviously, Doronin's self-proclaimed expression on Anzumov made him very uncomfortable. He checked his clothes and found that there was nothing wrong with it. And then he returned to Xiao Anzumov with a smile, and the two walked side by side towards the castle.

   Maybe it's because Xiao Anzumov felt that today was the last time he had spoken with this competitor, and he talked a lot today.

   "Mr. Member, I heard that the parliament rejected the proposal to levy noble supplies."

   Doronin glanced at Xiao Anzumov, wondering if he had nothing to say or really cared about this issue.

   "Of course, our Anzumov family has always respected and upheld the authority and dignity of the parliament, but now it is a war period, and my father-in-law proposed such a plan for the benefit of the country."

   Seeing Doronin's puzzled eyes, Xiao Anzumov explained with a smile.

"Count Anzumov, in our country, the interests of nobles are sacred and inviolable. Of course, from the bottom of my heart, I do not deny that the proposal of Lord Feodor is to better guard the city, but once such a bill If it is passed, then there is a precedent to be found. Then anyone can excuse the war or other reasons to deprive the nobles of the right to dispose of their own property." Congressman Duronin said solemnly.

   The motion mentioned by Doronin refers to Franco's plan to strengthen the wall and clear the country. Although Feodor was afraid of offending other nobles, he only collected the materials of his own Zamoshye, while the materials of other areas were dealt with after obtaining the consent of other nobles. But after many days, the messengers sent did not bring back a letter.

   Now, Franco went to Feodor to admonish him, hoping to collect supplies first. This time, the head of Franco invited Kische out

Bishop   er went with him. For the respected and respected old bishop, Feodor must of course save face. Although he agreed in principle to expropriate materials without the consent of the lord, in order not to bear all the responsibilities alone, the lord of the city actually put this on the parliament. I hope that the parliament will agree and endorse.

   There is no doubt that the parliament vetoed the bill.

   "Yes, yes. It is true." Little Anzumov agreed with a few meaningless words.

   At this time, the two also walked to the door of the chamber.

   In the chamber, City Lord Feodor has already sat on the main seat. Sitting beside them were Bishop Kisher, Captain Franco, Lieutenant Catherine, and Old Captain Tatarchuk and Oleg. Miss Helena stood behind his father.

   "I'm sorry, my father-in-law. We are late." Before Doronin could speak, Anzumov spoke first. As if to express his special relationship with Feodor, Xiao Anzumov deliberately referred to Feodor as his "father-in-law".

   "Lord City Lord, we are late." Senator Duronin also said.

   "It's okay, it's okay. We have just arrived too." Feodor said while looking at the two. But his eyes were all on Xiao Anzumov's body. This made Doronen very uncomfortable.

   "Sit down quickly, children." Bishop Kischell also said with a smile. This old bishop is a well-known good old man in the city. He does not belong to any school and only fulfills the duty of serving God.

   The two took their seats. Xiao Anzumov sat on the left side, and Senator Doronin sat on the right side.

   "Everyone, I invite everyone to come today. There are two things." When everyone was there, Feodor said.

   "I'm sorry, Lord City Lord." Halfway through Feodor's words, Doronin interrupted him. I saw Doronin stand up and say:

   "If today’s talk is about business, I don’t think Miss Helena should be there."

   Hearing what Doronen said, Fyodor's face was a little uncontrollable. He looked at Xiao Anzumov for help.

   "Father, I don't think I should be here." Helena, who was standing behind Feodor, said eagerly before Xiao Anzumov could speak. She was forced to come here. In her heart, she is also very reluctant to be manipulated by Xiao Anzumov to frame good people~www.NovelMTL.com~ Now Senator Doronin proposes that she should avoid it, which is what she cannot ask for. of.

   Helena said the same, Fyodor had no idea.

   Helena withdrew from the meeting, of course it was not what Xiao Anzumov wanted to see. According to his original plan, he wanted to raise the topic of Helena's lover on the second issue of the meeting to frame Doronin, so that it would not give people a premeditated feeling. Moreover, Cossack and Franco were both outsiders, and it was not suitable to be present at that time, so they just invited them out. But if Helena is now allowed to leave the venue, with the vacillation she is now showing, she may well regret it. In this way, oneself will lose all previous efforts.

   Never let this happen. Little Anzumov thought to himself.

   "Congressman Doronin," said Earl Anzumov, "I believe you have heard such a sentence: Everyone gathers firewood and the flames are high. It means that countless people gather together, and the plan can be perfect."

   "Wait a minute, Count Anzumov. I don't know what you said has anything to do with Miss Helena?" Doronen asked.

   "Of course it does." The matter was over, and Xiao Anzumov had to bludgeon it.

   "Even though Miss Helena is a woman, she is knowledgeable and insightful. Her views may give us a different perspective on this war."

   "Yes, yes. That's it." Feodor listened to Xiao Anzumov's words, and agreed again and again.

   "Doronin, Helena grew up as I watched. She is indeed a very insightful child." Bishop Kischell also spoke for Helena.

   "Okay. I am not against Miss Helena, but the rules are the rules. As a member of the Council, I must raise them. Even if everyone agrees with Miss Helena to stay, I certainly have no objection."
