Chapter 480: Political Whirlpool and the ‘Big Wine Pot’

The relationship between Canglan and Qiongying has always been extremely complicated. When facing the northern black tide, they were allies under the coordination of the reformists. Qiongying lent a large number of troops and food to Luodunk, while Canglan lent a large number of silver foxes.

But in China, they are competitors. Qiongying supports Robert's father, and Canglan supports Alfonso.

It can be said that Alfonso was able to compete with the eldest prince as the fourth prince (the second and third princes were dead, as mentioned at the beginning), and was able to force the eldest prince to send Robert to the black tide to make a desperate bet, which was largely due to the Canglan family!

However, now, the two sides' positions have become more and more subtle. Qiongying gradually moved closer to Alfonso, and under George's intervention, he completely stood on Alfonso's side, while Canglan stood on the side of Robert's faction after the black tide.

To put it bluntly, the two grand dukes of Qiongying and Canglan are both ambitious. Robert is the best puppet.

Today, the Canglan family, which has accumulated a lot of experience, does have the strength to "compete for the Central Plains", but in George's opinion, even if he does not intervene, and even if this Grand Duke Canglan is several times stronger, this Duke Canglan must be dreaming.

According to the words of the old Qiongying, it is just "a group of self-righteous dogs".

Indeed, just last year, many great lords, including the Duke Canglan, were still following the old Qiongying's buttocks, expecting him to be his younger brother who would wear the yellow robe.

From George's point of view, the national strength of the Qiongying Principality and the Canglan Principality is indeed very different - it can be said to be a developing country and a developed country, but if there is really a hard battle, without the direct participation of foreign forces (Southern Wilderness Tribe), it is really uncertain what will happen.

This old Qiongying, even now, can easily pull out 10,000 cavalry! If the royal family and the nobles do not unite to deal with him, in a few years, his 300,000 troops can be pulled up again!

Maybe, in the end, the old Qiongying, the stubborn war maniac, will win in the end. In fact, most of the nobles in Elda are still afraid of the old Sky Eagle in the current situation of Sky Eagle, and dare not have a direct military conflict with it - they have been defeated by the old Sky Eagle too many times.

(When George thought that Black Pearl and Adeline had defeated the old Sky Eagle, he couldn't help but feel superior)

And this Canglan family is indeed as the old Sky Eagle said - it is completely inconsistent with its name, and there is no such vast momentum at all. Instead, it is a dog!

They can be said to be the first dog in the Southern Wilderness of the Elda Kingdom, and they are also the nobles who fear the Southern Wilderness tribe the most.

However, they regard the people of the Southern Wilderness as their father, but they are very powerful against their own people.

Today's Sky Eagle is far from what it used to be. Grand Duke Canglan also did a lot of things in the split Sky Eagle - he initially wanted to annex the Sky Eagle, but he couldn't play with the old Sky Eagle. Later, Duke Canglan retreated to the second best and supported Earl 'Daris'. And instigated some tribes in the Southern Wilderness to harass the border of Sky Eagle.

The hard knife had never been used before, and it cut off a large piece of meat from the old Skyhawk. The reason why Skyhawk's trade was completely blocked in the past two years was that the Grand Duke Canglan was behind it.

Duke Canglan has already smelled a hint of the changes in Skyhawk, but he could never have imagined that the suddenly rising Black Pearl Count was wearing the same pants as Alfonso and George. In his opinion, although the three parties were somewhat compromised, they should be mutually balanced in terms of interests.

Because if they were wearing the same pants, it meant that Alfonso divided Skyhawk to the Black Pearl Valley. According to the domestic situation, the old Skyhawk gave way to Alfonso's ally Tanya under the threat of Alfonso, the evil wolf, which showed that Alfonso was fully capable of taking the entire Skyhawk himself.

The relationship between the Black Pearl Count and the Duke of Yongfeng has always been extremely delicate. After Tanya had the Skyhawk, she was completely able to fight against the Duke - or even stronger.

Therefore, the only reason why the three of them were in the same boat was that Alfonso and Tanya were both licking the Duke of Wind, willingly cutting off their own flesh and offering it to him - or in other words, they were all loyal to the Duke of Wind.

It was obviously too incredible that the Crown Prince of Elda and the Grand Duke of Sky Eagle were both loyal to the Duke of Wind in Rodunk.

And if the nobles of Elda found out that their Crown Prince was loyal to a foreign duke, they would probably not support Alfonso anymore.

Unless all of Elda believed that he was the incarnation of the "Sun God" or the Seven Gods - let alone whether they would believe it or not, first of all, this matter would definitely attract the attention of the Holy See, which was simply sending a knife to Aloysius.

Grand Duke Canglan was an extremely important political figure and a major political enemy of Alfonso. The Grand Duke was currently in the capital, leading Robert's interest group to wrestle with Alfonso, and his eldest son, Count "Salman", was in this "Canglan City".

George didn’t know how much information these people from the Canglan family had, nor did he know whether the earl would think so deeply about the matter after discovering that the ‘God’s Throne Knight’ was also in the caravan - perhaps after they discovered that the God’s Throne Knight was cooperating with Sky Eagle and Alfonso, they would have another explanation in their minds.

But in the current situation, it is better for me to show up less. Therefore, George, who originally planned to go as Gale's follower, did not go with Gale after thinking about it. Although these southern nobles had not met him, it was inevitable that something unexpected would happen. But it was a bit too embarrassing at that time.

But in fact, the reason why Earl Salman invited Gale was not because of George, Alfonso or the Sky Eagle, but because of the "Frost Fang Prince" Moss.

The comprehensive strength of the Frost Fang tribe is even more terrifying than that of the Sky Eagle. It can be regarded as a very important tribe in the western part of Iberia. As a family closely connected with the Southern Wilderness, the Canglan family naturally has a deep understanding of this situation.

In addition, the Frost Fang tribe recently defeated the Fire Wolf tribe, which made various small tribes continue to integrate into the Frost Fang, which made Moss's tribe stand on the cusp of this storm - or the center of the vortex.

In the past, although Grand Duke Canglan was afraid of this tribe, because of the existence of the "Fire Wolf Tribe", he was somewhat indifferent to the Frost Fang tribe.

But now, judging from the attitude of today's invitation, this family has become a lapdog eager for the friendship of the Frostfang Tribe.

Now the Canglan family heard that in the Frostfang Tribe, the voice of 'Prince Moss' was getting louder and louder, and he had become the actual chieftain, so they quickly stuck out their tongues.

However, Moss did not give any face to this invitation, and he answered very straightforwardly - the reason was that he was too lazy to move.

This rhetoric was not only perfunctory, but also humiliating! But the envoy did not even dare to fart, and even after that, in order to please the great master Moss, he took the initiative to undertake the supply of the caravan, and seemed to have sent a lot of 'specialties' - it can be said that it helped George save a lot of money and effort, and also made a lot of money for nothing.

From this incident, George saw a little bit of the cunning and delicacy in the heart of Moss, a guy who seemed to be thick-skinned - this guy has his own routine in communication! And when dealing with those soft bones, he is always successful!

Obviously, this guy did not want to socialize because of the fatigue of the journey.

Because when Moss heard that George and Aji were going to look for the nearby "special snacks", this lazy guy followed them happily.

Even Soraya, who claimed that she would teach Rona and Angel to meditate in the room (read the novel given by Rona), followed with the two little girls.

Their destination was a certain "big wine pot" - originally, this was indeed a "special snack" in the eyes of the three scums.

Unfortunately

Seeing Kaili hurriedly taking the bag to pay again, George couldn't help but sigh deeply. He and Aji looked at each other, and the regret and loss in their eyes were hard to describe. They had planned for today's "big wine pot" trip for several days, but when the time came, it was ruined by these followers.

It's all Moss's fault for shouting nonsense! I shouldn't have brought this guy out to play!
