Master Overlord - Chapter 386

When Beaumont finished reading and replying to the letter, the study fell into a dead pool of silence, and the expressions on all faces were like frozen corpses.

Jenny stood next to pace. She stretched out her palm, hoping to draw a trace of warmth from her husband’s hand. Even though it was early summer and the temperature in the bookstore was not low, she still felt cold and helpless.

She didn’t know what to say now, or she just left. Her father’s reply made it difficult for her to gain a foothold in the castle. Even if it was not his decision, but the common choice of the nobles in the west, she knew that her father must agree.

The husband pinched her palm, raised his hand and put her in his arms to cast a comforting look. In an instant, Jenny suddenly felt the urge to cry.

50000 arrows. How is such assistance different from the count of Lingfeng castle? The count of Lingfeng castle was criticized by the Duke as worthless.

This is betrayal! Jenny looked away, trying to hold back the tears that were about to tear her eyes.

She knew that her father and they must know the real purpose of the wild people, which was clearly told in her two letters.

Even if the West chose to wait and see out of caution at first, up to now, a large group of wild people have entered ligppus county and are coming in their direction. It can’t be clearer.

But her father and the nobles in the West chose to turn a blind eye.

In his reply, he did not mention that the wild people were going to the West. Instead, he made a big statement about the threat of Gaoting, saying that the West was unable to send troops for assistance and could only give 50000 feather arrows free as support for the attack of the wild people in the north.

Jenny didn’t want to think about the reasons behind this, but the bad reason that made her almost desperate and unable to stand on her feet clearly penetrated into her mind before the bachelor’s voice fell.

She knew that she was able to marry pace because of the need for an alliance between the north and the West.

But she never thought that the alliance between the two sides would be so fragile, and her marriage was completely used by the nobles in the West as a chip for calculating the north. In particular, this also includes her father

If she had not married pace, the nobles in the West could not have turned a blind eye so blatantly, because they knew that the North could have abandoned them and made way for the wild people to travel west.

Because of this marriage known to the Kingdom, even if the north makes way for the wild people, the wild people will only treat it as a trap.

This is not only a betrayal, but also a sinister and selfish calculation!

How could the Duke and the bachelors not know the truth that even she could understand in an instant?

At the moment, Jenny’s heart was full of grievances of being regarded as a chess piece and a liar and traitor.

“Duke…” the bachelor opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but the corner of his eye glanced at Jenny, who was absent-minded, and was silent.

Although the attitude of the West has nothing to do with Jenny, as long as this matter comes out, I’m afraid all the nobles in the north will no longer have any good feelings for the kind farit girl.

“Unexpectedly, he was really said by the tustra boy. Those guys are really despised. 50000 arrows, huh…” the Duke’s tone was full of ridicule.

In fact, he had a premonition about the delayed reply from Xijing, but in any case, he didn’t expect that these guys in Xijing could ignore such a situation.

If it weren’t for Jenny’s face, I’m afraid he would pay for the 50000 feather arrows.

“Eugenie, take Jenny to the garden to relax. The flowers are just blooming.” the Duke looked at Jenny and said, “you are now pace’s wife and naturally my daughter. You don’t have to be embarrassed. Your father sent us at least 50000 feather arrows, which is an indispensable weapon for guarding the city.”

Eugenie, of course, knew that Jenny was suffering at the moment, but she really couldn’t say any funny words in such a situation. Therefore, I had to obey my father’s orders and take Jenny’s arm, ready to take her to the garden.

“Father,” said Jenny, stepping forward slightly, looking at the Duke in the chair firmly and stubbornly, “please let me stay. Although I know I can’t help, I’m also a member of the kewilt family.”

Several people in the study watched her. After half a ring, the Duke nodded and said softly, “good boy, don’t do this. But since you want to stay, stay here. Fengxi castle will always be your home.”

The Duke’s words made Jenny’s eyes red. At this time, Eugenie quickly turned aside the topic and said, “father, what should we do now? Do you send someone to negotiate with the wild people as the count of Lingfeng Castle said? I’m afraid they won’t believe us.”

“Naturally not now, as long as those wild people are not stupid, they can see that this is a trap.” although they were disappointed with the reply to the west, the Duke had already started to formulate a new response after Arthur reminded them.

“Give orders to denburg and count Calvin first.” the Duke motioned to the bachelor with his eyes. After the bachelor took his seat, raised his pen and unfolded the letter, the Duke then said the following: “let them continue to retreat with men, horses and food, go to golden leaf town and index finger town to garrison and wait for orders.”

“In addition, the Loma and field families are instructed to harvest and transfer the population and food in the south of the territory. Those who have no time to harvest will also be destroyed. In short, don’t leave a grain for the wild people.”

The bachelor soon turned the four letters to the Duke. The Duke looked at them and said, “reply to the West. Just say I thank them for their kindness, but it’s natural for the wild people to rush to the north and defeat them. It doesn’t need to be bothered by others. The 50000 feather arrows don’t need to be sent. We don’t lack weapons…”

The bachelor Beaumont took up his pen and looked at the Duke hesitantly: “Sir, are you sure you want to reply to them like this?”

“Write it,” affirmed Duke kewilt. “In addition, I sincerely wish them and hope they can guard the safety of the western border, especially the attack of the western Gaoting kingdom.”

This was a threat. Everyone in the study heard the deep meaning of the Duke’s words. Jenny standing aside even felt a burst of fear.

“Have you written it?”

“It’s done, my Lord.”

The Duke picked up the letter paper, looked at it a little, and then said in a deep voice: “now write to Stanley, Bilson, knoxvi and Loma family, and ask them to lead all their men and horses to Fengxi city within two months…”

Pace stood aside and said, “father, do you need to write to Shanghe collar? Although the blacksmiths in the territory are speeding up the manufacture of arrows, the speed is limited. We can directly ask count Arthur to send more arrows.”

“No, we can’t produce more in a short time. The feudal officials will bring their own feather arrows. We only need to reserve tens of thousands more to deal with the wild people.”

Without waiting for pace to explain, Eugenie, who has been frowning and thinking, finally figured out her father’s plan and asked, “father, do you already have a candidate to negotiate with the wild people in your heart?”
