Seeing the five military officers clashing with the new temporary lord, the three internal officials retreated calmly and hid aside to show their neutrality.

To put it bluntly, it's a fence-bearer.

Five military officers, including Judson, slowly approached Roland.

Generally speaking, territorial officials dare not threaten Shangguan like this.

But as soon as the eldest princess Stevenni was not in the territory for many years, everything was handled by the eight of them. Over time, they secretly grasped most of the power and resources in the territory, and even secretly carried out power cutting. Now that a temporary lord was airborne, they would inevitably divide their power, which made them extremely uncomfortable.

Secondly, Roland is a man.

The eldest princess is beautiful and powerful, and is very likely to be a queen in the future. Her ex-husband is dead again. Now she is single, and she is an excellent "investment stock". If she can get the moon first, they dare not say that they are the most powerful people in Francis in the future, but at least they can rank in the top ten.

Marrying the eldest princess, people have three gains of money and power.

If this young young man who came out of nowhere was the lover of the eldest princess, then the affairs of the territory would definitely be under his control in the future. Not to mention the power of people, money and power, even his current status may not be guaranteed.

How can I bear this?

In fact, when the butler came to inform them that there was a temporary lord, they were laughing at first.

How is that possible!

They managed their territory so well that nothing went wrong. How could the eldest princess who ignored the troubles in the territory and stared at the throne suddenly send someone down?

But the butler's expression was very serious.

So they came over and wanted to see who was coming over.

Then I saw a mage and a novice.

In fact, it is just a slander in their hearts that the mage is equal to the nobles, which is a consensus in the human world.

Even if this little face has no identity, as long as he is a mage with some strength, it is a delicious honey custard. As long as he is a noble woman, he wants to try the taste.

That's why their reaction was so great.

When they heard Roland say that if they were disobedient, they would be dismissed, they even had the intention of murder.

This directly cuts off their money and power, and takes their lives.

It would be strange if you don’t resist.

In fact, Roland didn't want to give people a warning as soon as he came, but the matter of Floating City was too important. He didn't want this to be leaked, so it was necessary to have a Motass County who completely obeyed his orders.

If you have to say it, Delbon City is actually easier to control, after all, it is already Roland's territory.

But Delbon City has a big problem, that is, the country it belongs to is too small.

Holevin is too young.

In addition to the need for the builder to continuously create magic stone bricks to pave the 'chassis', a large amount of magic materials are also required to build many functional components.

This ‘large’ is not something that a small country can provide at will.

Holewen is not too weak. If you grit your teeth and fight, you can really provide it. But from then on, Holewen may not have enough magical materials for magicians to use within decades.

Besides, clearance acquisitions in small countries are too eye-catching and it is easy to find something.

In a country where Frans is a huge country with extremely abundant supplies, it is difficult to acquire a large amount of magic materials to cause obvious fluctuations in the entire Frans market.

It is conducive to hiding one's true intentions and not letting people notice abnormalities.

This is one of the reasons why Roland built a floating city in Frans.

Seeing the five military officers surrounding him, Roland bounced his fingers and fourteen huge blue mage hands suddenly appeared and blocked him.

Each palm is more than two meters long, lined up together, almost completely blocking the gap in front of Roland.

These five military officers are also good at identifying things. Except for the City Guards, the other four are all master-level warriors.

They could feel that it was difficult to break through these dozen mage hands.

Then their steps stopped, and everyone looked at Roland with limited ruthless eyes.

Roland looked at them, too.

Then he said with a smile in a clear tone: "Either do it or just listen to me."

This is a strong sense of confidence.

Several military officers frowned even more. The profession of warriors pays great attention to the so-called "momentum". They can also feel the momentum, like big cats, and most of the time, they have strong fighting intuition.

They can feel whether the other party is afraid or not.

And now, they could feel that Roland's momentum was rising, and even a little ready to move.

In fact, their intuition is quite correct.

Roland just wanted them to do it, so there would be an excuse to suppress them.

Of course, Roland did not think about killing people, but just seized power under house arrest.

However, the other five were not fools. After they felt Roland's momentum and desire to attack, they became timid.

All five of them retreated back to their chairs and sat, quite decisively, without any trace of mud.

Roland was a little stunned at that time.

In fact, this is also a relationship that he lacks enough ‘experience’.

Most of the time, he spent researching magic, and real "battle" was less common than other players.

The average level of professionals in the Francis is far higher than that of Holevin.

At the same time, most of the master-level warriors, Holevin's warriors are only reckless, but in the Francis Kingdom, almost all master-level warriors are foxes, and only a few are reckless and will not live long.

Therefore, it would be useless to provoke the soldiers of the Francis using Holevin's combat experience.

Instead, they gave up.

They shrank back one by one.

All right!

Roland knew that there seemed to be some minor flaws in his plan, but this was not an irreversible mistake, and at most it would be a little more troublesome.

"Since you are willing to obey orders, things will be easy." Roland clapped his hands: "Everything can be done as usual."

All eight looked at Roland, thinking.

After looking at the sky, Roland said, "It's not too late now. Let's go back and continue to go first. We still have a lot of time to spend together in the future. Now we're just saying hello."

The eight people left slowly.

The door of the main hall was closed and the light became much dimmed.

The butler breathed a sigh of relief from the side. He was really worried that he would start a fight just now.

Roland waved his hand, dispersed more than a dozen mage's hands, and said, "Butler, you should know where the entrance to the basement of the castle is, take me to see."

"yes."

The butler lowered his head slightly and walked in front.

In fact, the entrance to the basement is not difficult to find, just next to Ma Si, behind the castle.

There is a small military camp here, with one hundred elite veterans, who are direct troops of the royal family to protect their princes and princesses. Under normal circumstances, they only obey the orders of the protected person, namely Stefanie.

Of course... as soon as the letter of commission was issued, they would naturally obey Roland's orders.

More than a hundred soldiers wearing silver-white armor formed a circle outside the Masi. Next to the Masi, there was a small black entrance that had to bend down before entering.

It is very narrow inside, just a step above the ground to prevent rainwater from seeping in.

Then there is a downward stone staircase.

Is the entrance to the basement so obvious?

Roland looked at the butler with a strange look.

The housekeeper was sophisticated that he immediately understood the meaning of Roland's eyes.

"This is the request of the eldest princess." The butler's expression was quite helpless: "She said that the castle itself is a defensive measure. If there is really an enemy and even the castle is broken, the basement will be useless, but it is better to build it more obvious. It will be much easier to put something in in the future."

The veterans surrounding the neighborhood all smiled.

They all admired and respected the eldest princess Stefanie very much. Her nonsense thoughts seemed quite cute to them.

The eldest princess was very good and took good care of them. They led the most military pay and the best equipment among all the troops in the territory, and then the other troops were provided first.

Many people know how to be grateful.

So for Stefanie, they had no malice, only gratitude, only two thoughts of protecting her and following all her commands.

Roland was able to hold the letter of appointment signed by the eldest princess himself and pressed his handprints. They knew very well what this meant.

The eldest princess truly trusts this man.

Then they should trust this man too.

Instead of entering the basement, Roland looked at the group of soldiers surrounding him.

Then he looked at the butler: "You shouted this too?"
