Although Narcissa and her party were also trapped by the rain, their current situation has been greatly improved compared to last night. → At dawn, the first batch of so-called support met with them by air cavalry. Mainly because the intelligence sent last night, after a series of diffusion and brewing, its value has been further highlighted, and it is worth investing more costs to operate. For example, the Aldo family has joined forces with the Glorfindel family and is ready to compete with the Earl family for credit. The Son of Nature did trigger the Kennan Town incident in Sid Earl's team first. But the Kennan Town incident was settled by Narcissa. Also with the help of the Son of Nature, Narcissa lost troops and generals, successfully consumed the enemy's strength, and assisted the Son of Nature in the battle, and then established victory in one fell swoop. This value is higher than the annihilation of the Shadow Claws. In addition, at present, Sid has only contacted the family, and the people are still in Grom's tribe. The Earl family did not send someone to pick them up immediately, after all, the air crew could not fly wherever they wanted. It was okay within the empire, but outside the empire, in addition to considering the supply points, they also had to consider the territorial awareness of the tribal monsters.
What's more, clothing and food depend on family assets. The Earl family is not rich, Sid is not the eldest son, and the current head of the family is not a wise man. Whether to intervene deeply is still hesitant. Simply put, they prefer to take some benefits. The family that had long coveted the wealth of Wharton County chose to seize the opportunity and squeeze into the car. This is the basic integrity of the imperial nobles, grabbing credit, trading with the enemy, and doing everything they can as long as it is profitable. The air cavalry first came to collude with confessions. After all, the matter of Kennan Town involves the title of Earl of Wharton. Earl of Wharton is now performing the drama of "King Lear". The lord is old and powerless, and his knees are all daughters, and he is unfaithful and unfilial. It is indeed a family matter that children are not filial, but the invasion of evil has affected others, so an explanation must be given. After all, vassals also have their responsibilities. Before noon, the troops of Earl Atlan, who has lived next to Earl Wharton for generations, came to greet them in the rain. Right from the start, she took the lead and half-jokingly blamed Narcissa for passing by Atlan without notifying the always kind-hearted Earl Atlan, which was a bit rude. Speaking of this, Narcissa was really a bit rude, because the territory of the Glorfindel family was indeed not adjacent to Wharton, and the Earl of Atlan was between the two. For Wharton and Glorfindel, Atlan was a hungry lion. Of course, the current Earl of Atlan himself felt that he was a leader of the family that appeared once in hundreds of years, and he had great ambitions and intended to expand the earldom into a dukedom. There are still many specific stories here, including the deal between Earl Wharton's uncle and Earl Atlan before and after the Lion King drama. Earl Atlan meant that although your uncle was defeated, it was your family's internal affairs. And the deal I made with him at that time was aimed at your family. He was a legitimate earl at the time, and the promise he made could represent your family. How can you say it doesn't count? You can't take the benefits and then become a deadbeat on the grounds that "the predecessor has stepped down, and you can go to him for the debt he owes"! In theory, this statement is indeed correct. The Empire stipulates that inheritance means inheriting power and responsibility, and responsibility includes debts.
The problem is that Wharton's uncle had a problem with the procedure for ascending to the throne. He lied that the real heir was dead, and then inherited his brother's title as a younger brother. Moreover, the debt he owed was a debt owed in a rotten state, that is, "rather give it to friends than to slaves." Earl Wotton, who had returned as a king, naturally would not repay such an unreasonable debt. This matter was once brought to the emperor. The emperor said, let's fight. Earl Atlan said it was okay, but he found a reason to postpone the time of the fight. Because Earl Wotton, who had just returned, was in his prime and in high spirits, Earl Atlan had no chance of winning. After delaying again and again, it became a mess, and now he felt that the time had come. In addition, since Earl Atlan wanted to expand his territory and achieve the basic qualifications of land and population of the Grand Dukedom, so that he could first have the facts and then deserve the title to become a duke, his neighbors were not easy, including the Glorfindel family. This is also a major reason why Wotton and Glorfindel are better off across Atlan. Not long after Earl Atlan's people appeared, people from the Carthus family also arrived. The Carthus family, known as the Purifying Family, is related to religion as the name suggests. It has a close relationship with theocracy and is a fanatical religious element. This family is not easy to mess with. The reason for their intervention this time was that the people that Nagash had prepared as sacrifices for the large-scale prophecy were captured from the territory of Carthasis. This was normal for the Nagash family. One reason was that they had a deep hatred for these religious elements. Another reason was that they were afraid of chaos in the world. If it were any other time, they might have said "evil instigation" and it would have been fine. They might even have organized a coalition to clean up the evildoers in both sides' territories. But now they didn't go to discuss this with Earl Wharton, but came to Narcissa under the pretext of asking for intelligence. Their intentions were somewhat intriguing. It was almost noon, and the emperor's representative also came in the rain. The value of this emperor of the empire cannot be compared with that of the emperor of the East. At least the emperor of the East is nominally "all lands belong to the king." The emperor of the empire is a real feudal system, the wind can enter, the rain can enter, but the king cannot enter. Of course, since he is an emperor who has gone a step further than the king, even if he is not very good at centralization, he must be the largest landlord. No landlord will complain about having too much land. Moreover, the name "empire" is not called for nothing. Only those who continue to expand their territory can be called empires, and those who live their own lives by building walls cannot use this name. Everyone knows that war is about money. The emperor of the empire said that I am in the rising period of my career and lack money to turn over, so it is my duty to legally recover such a rich land as Wharton Territory, otherwise it would be equivalent to losing hundreds of millions... In short, although Wharton Territory is not an elephant carcass, a fat cow is more than enough for a banquet. So jackals, tigers, leopards, vultures, and crows all came to the feast. As for Wharton saying that he was not dead yet, everyone said, isn't he just about to die? What? Do you still think you can make a miracle? Don't worry, we won't let that happen.
So from a certain perspective, the interests of these people are the same, and they can first ensure that they can have a feast. In this process, the Son of Nature has the appearance of a troublemaker, and maybe he can really perform a miracle in Wharton's territory. Then arrange it for him. Even Nagash is involved in it, which fully shows that there is no such thing as doctrine and justice, it's all business. Yves Aldo understands this truth. He also took advantage of Narcissa's weakness (he fell into a trap when he started the battle, the team was defeated, and more than half of the people died), and became the leader of the follow-up of the incident. He did win benefits for Narcissa, of course, including himself. When someone gains, someone will suffer. The current situation is that Wharton is still a fat cow waiting to be slaughtered, and Rob, who has been a righteous butcher twice, has become the scapegoat. One million soul coins are worth approximately US$100 million in "John Wick: Chapter 8", which is enough to tempt many people. In the words of a certain abyss succubus: I'll retire when I succeed.
