In an inconspicuous hut in the Brilliant Royal City, several middle-aged and elderly people wearing black cloaks sat around the dining table. The surrounding windows were nailed shut, preventing any sunlight from entering. On the table

A candle was lit, and the weak flame illuminated the dining table but was unable to illuminate the faces of everyone around it.

One of them said in a hoarse voice: "What should we do now? The army of the Kingdom of Los is heading here quickly with the goal of here. The towns along the way did not resist and all surrendered." At this point, he shook his head angrily.

He slammed his fist on the table. He was really a patriotic person. Finally, he said: "All the industries I have worked hard on in the eastern towns have been ruined. Damn it!" A middle-aged man next to him seemed to be uncomfortable with it.

He complained directly and said loudly: "Those properties of yours are nothing! All my casinos and brothels have been taken over by the people of the Los Kingdom. I don't even have a damn one left for me. Damn it." The people around him.

Driven by the complaints of these two people, they also complained about their losses. It turned out that this was a complaint meeting.

"Enough! Do you still have the aristocratic temperament?" An old man shouted loudly. Although he was old, his voice was loud and majestic. The old man glanced at everyone around him, and no one dared to look at him.

After scanning, he continued: "You are all respectable nobles of the Brilliant Kingdom. There is no need to go to war for those small properties. How unbecoming!" Everyone was a little embarrassed by the old man's words.

The old man continued: "Now we are gathered here to discuss what to do in the future? This is not a complaint meeting, I hope you can understand." The old man saw that the people around him did not speak, they just looked at him, and understood that they had listened to his words.

After entering, the old man took out a glass of water from somewhere, moistened his throat and continued: "Now that the Los Kingdom is in full swing, it is very likely that it will destroy our country, so let's think about it now, what if the Kingdom of Glory is destroyed?

, how should we maintain our wealth and status?" After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but whisper and discuss with each other. The old man stopped talking and waited quietly with his eyes closed. After a while, a noble asked the old man cautiously.

: "Then what should we do if your lord the Duke destroys the glorious kingdom?" It turns out that this old man is a duke whose status is second only to the king. No wonder everyone respects him so much.

The old man opened his eyes and scanned everyone again and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I already have a plan." Everyone was overjoyed and asked what to do. The old man said confidently: "Wait" "Wait" everyone couldn't help but be confused.

"That's right, wait." The old man crossed his arms and leaned on the chair and continued: "The Brilliant Kingdom is not that easy to perish. After all, we still have the Master Magician here. With him, the possibility of annihilation in the Brilliant Kingdom is unlikely, but we

We must also consider, what should we do if we perish?" Everyone nodded and agreed with the old man's words. The old man took another sip of water and continued: "I have received news that many nobles in the east surrendered and were given important tasks by the Los Kingdom.

, and has not deprived any nobles of their territories or titles, so once the Brilliant Kingdom is destroyed, or if you are caught, I think you can surrender immediately. After all, compared with honor and life, life is the most important."

The nobles present agreed very much, but they were still a little confused and asked doubtfully: "Are we really doing nothing and just waiting here?" "Yes, sometimes waiting is a better choice than choosing."

The old man stared at the flame of the candle, as if there was something in the flame, and continued: "If the glorious kingdom perishes, we can surrender and continue to retain our territory and title, but if we cannot distinguish the battle situation, the anxious private

Thonglos Kingdom, once the Los Kingdom fails and we are caught by the king with evidence of liaison with the enemy, we will definitely die, so doing nothing now and waiting is the best choice." All the nobles thought carefully about the Duke.

In the end, they all thought this was the best way, and they all looked at the old man with admiration. The old man was very satisfied with everyone's looks, and laughed arrogantly. I didn't expect that the ruling class of the Brilliant Kingdom could be so selfish. How can such a country be so selfish?
