"Lord Earl, you plan to control the magic defense system yourself?"
"Is she crazy? Even President Layton can barely control it. No matter how genius she is, she can't maintain the entire magic shield in this state!"
"She...what exactly is she thinking?"
"She was the one who wanted to maintain the shield with all her strength in the beginning, and now she is the one who is unwillingly weakening the shield. She... she is simply..."
"It's just nonsense!"
"Yes! Nonsense!"
"Your Excellency Leon Castel, will you no longer advise the Earl?"
"It's so ridiculous that you still put your hope in gods!"
Outside the mage tower, the nobles were talking a lot. They could no longer bear their dissatisfaction with Charlotte and poured out their bitterness to Viscount Len Castel.
Feeling the grievances of the nobles, Viscount Len Castel also felt a headache.
To be fair, he also felt that his lord's recent actions were simply incomprehensible.
You say you want to protect civilians, but you don't consider that the full expansion of the magic shield may lead to the collapse of Beigang's entire magic defense system.
You said there are reinforcements, but until now, she has never said when the reinforcements will arrive or what their strength is.
The nobles were all kept in the dark. They knew nothing and had no hope at all.
Seriously speaking, in the view of Viscount Leon Castells, this approach is simply eroding the trust of the nobles in her. mix
He even had a feeling that even at this time, Charlotte didn't seem to fully trust them.
This also made Viscount Len Castel very uncomfortable.
You know, the nobles of North Port have all expressed their loyalty to Charlotte on the banks of the Dorne River.
And being able to guard Beigang together also shows that everyone really supports each other.
But what the other party did was a bit chilling.
To be fair, if you do this... it's really easy to get into trouble.
If it weren't for Earl Gaston's army stationed in North Port, and if it weren't for the extraordinary suppression, the old Viscount felt that some nobles might have rebelled now! mix
Of course, although he was also dissatisfied with Charlotte's various actions, as a supporter of Castel, Viscount Len Castel could only bite the bullet and wipe the opponent's butt:
"Don't worry, everyone, the lord may have his own considerations..."
Of course, such an answer could not suppress the dissatisfaction of the nobles:
"Considerations? What considerations would she have? In the final analysis, she is just a 16-year-old child!"
"Yes! Lord Viscount, I admit that the Earl's vigorous and resolute methods some time ago are indeed admirable, but this does not mean that she will not make mistakes!"
"Yes, Magic Shield is an example. She makes everything too simple!"
"Lord Viscount... mistakes in the war will be fatal! We can't risk everything!"
"..."
The nobles talked a lot and continued to complain.
From denial of Charlotte's approach, to doubts about Charlotte's ability, to pessimism and worry about the prospects of the entire war...
Not only that, what's more, the third prince who was already discussing the attack on Castel was not trustworthy.
"Actually, I think... maybe the third prince is not as unbearable as the rumors say..."
"Yes, he is a noble of the royal family after all. Is it possible that he will really take action against us after taking Castel?"
"Each of our families has deep-rooted power in Castel. If he forcibly deprives us of our titles, the North Land will definitely be turned upside down!"
"That's right, even the Earl didn't take action against us, but only cleaned up the nobles who were harboring the vampires!"
"..."
Listening to the increasingly outrageous comments of the nobles, Viscount Len Castel's expression changed and he reprimanded:
"That's enough! What are you talking about?!"
"Even if the Earl is wrong, the third prince is not the master. Have you all forgotten the news brought by Earl Gaston?!"
"Since we are standing here, we must work together to defend Beigang!"
As he said that, he glanced at the mage tower and said: Mix
"I will talk to the Earl again, and I will definitely advise her to adjust her defense strategy."
"Everyone, please disperse and perform your duties to protect Beigang."
"Don't worry, everyone, it's still not too late..."
After hearing what the old viscount said, the nobles opened their mouths and wanted to say something else.
But facing the unquestionable gaze of Viscount Leon Castells, they finally had no choice but to sigh and leave.
Looking at the backs of everyone leaving, the old Viscount frowned slightly.
Although he thought that the nobles would be dissatisfied with the lord's actions, the speed of the change was still a bit beyond his expectation. mix
Especially his attitude towards the third prince.
The transformation of the nobles seems to be a little too consistent, which makes it difficult for him to have other associations...
Shaking his head, the old Viscount turned and looked at the mage tower.
Taking a deep breath, he said to his eldest son Derek:
"Go, come with me to meet the Earl, and then persuade her properly."
However, as soon as the old Viscount took a step, the eldest son behind him stopped him:
"Father..."
Lenn, Viscount Castel, turned around in confusion, only to see his eldest son's eyes flickering and hesitation on his face.
The old Viscount frowned:
"Derek, what's wrong?"
Derek de Lien-Castell gritted his teeth and said:
"Father, I think...you trust Charlotte too much."
"Since Charlotte came to the throne, we Len Castel have been used by her..."
"However, she never brought anything to our family." Mix
"Our family has done enough. I don't think she is a wise leader. Compared with her, maybe taking refuge in the third prince will..."
"That's enough! Shut up!"
The old Viscount's expression changed and he said angrily.
The pressure of Silver Moon's second level was released and instantly enveloped Derek, while Derek's face turned pale and he quickly lowered his head.
The old Viscount looked at him with a look of disdain and said:
"Derek, remember, our family is Len Castel, not Len!"
"Any family can betray the Earl of Castel, but we...can't!"
"This is the principle of our Len-Castle family!"
"Do you understand?!"
After hearing the old Viscount's scolding, Derek lowered his head silently.
The old Viscount sighed and said:
"That's all, you go down first, and I'll go meet the Earl alone and persuade her to give it a try."
"The Earl has never maintained a magic shield. She definitely can't do it alone. After she tries it and knows how difficult it is, she should listen to our advice..."
Viscount Leon Castells did not finish his words. mix
Because just when he was halfway through speaking, he suddenly felt a powerful magic coming from the direction of the mage tower.
The old Viscount was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously looked towards the Mage Tower. He saw a blue light pillar rising into the sky, instantly "hit" the crumbling magic shield, and the next moment, the magic shrouded the entire North Port. The shield quickly stabilized.
Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, his expression full of astonishment:
"God...God Lord! This...she...she actually did it?!"
