Chapter 164 Dressrosa Knight's In The City
viscount austin's scrutinizing gaze roamed over luis for a long time.
but soon, he showed a sincere smile: "luis, you made the right decision! the duke pros is a generous and kind lord, and he is worthy of your loyalty!"
luis seemed to finally breathe a sigh of relief. he quickly shook viscount austin's hand and kept expressing his gratitude.
viscount austin looked at luis, whose attitude suddenly became extremely flattering, and couldn't help feeling disdainful.
after a few more casual remarks, viscount austin sent luis and asmon away.
coming to the buffet table, viscount austin put a few exquisite desserts into his mouth, and then saw a familiar figure passing by him.
"sith... oh, sorry, it should be his excellency duke sith now."
sith, who had just been canonized as duke by queen elsa, also smiled and saluted to viscount austin.
the two had met several times and were considered acquaintances.
"your excellency the viscount, welcome to silvermoon city again!"
"haha, i am also an old customer of silver moon city. it's just that every time i come here, there are some big changes, especially this time."
sith showed a slightly embarrassed expression on his face.
the changes in silvermoon city in recent days are indeed quite huge.
he also changed from shadow guard sith(hyacinth chamber of commerce head) to the duke of half elf city.
"it is a little big... but don't worry. we will still treat our distinguished guests with the same enthusiasm as before."
"oh? so, tonight, there will be a beautiful half-elf slave girl in my room as usual?"
"certainly!"
the two smiled at each other, very ambiguous.
"it seems that you are getting stronger and stronger now." viscount austin said with a smile.
"not bad..." sith said with a smile.
viscount austin turned the wine glass in his hand and suddenly said in a cold voice: "sith, we are old friends. tell me the truth, are you happy just being a duke?"
sith eyes narrowed a little, then he immediately looked around and was relieved when he saw that no one noticed them.
"your excellency, i...how could i not be reconciled? her majesty the queen is quite kind to me..."
viscount austin laughed and said disdainfully, "what queen? the miller family is just a usurper. when did they become qualified to become a half-elf royal family?"
sith face showed some embarrassment.
because viscount austin's words included them as well.
looking at the silent sith, viscount austin already had a plan in mind.
he understood that sith was unwilling to give in with just this, but he did not dare to resist in the face of pressure from the miller family and the north.
so, he thought he should stimulate the other party again.
"sith, marquis vincent told me before he came here that the modiwen family is the best partner of the saint pros family and the only family qualified to control the half-elf kingdom."

sith suddenly raised his head, looked at viscount austin with sharp eyes, and opened his mouth to say something, but after stammering a few times, he still couldn't utter it.
after seeing off the guests, luis turned around and saw sith standing in the shadows with a smile on his face.
"boss, i have done everything you asked..."
luis smiled and said, "very good."
"inform queen elsa, the city gates are open to welcome marquis vincent into silvermoon city."
-----
three days later, viscount austin left silvermoon city and came to red maple manor.
at this time, red maple manor had been requisitioned by the east territory army and had completely become a huge military camp.
viscount austin walked into the manor and met marquis vincent who was enjoying dinner in the restaurant.
"my lord marquis!"
"lord austin, you have had a hard journey. let's eat first."
"yes."
the two of them finished their dinner quickly but elegantly, and then marquis vincent asked, "how is the silver moon city group going?"
"on the surface, everything seems to be going well. queen elsa has agreed to your two conditions, and even that hartmann jr has expressed his willingness to pledge allegiance to the east."
"oh?" marquis vincent raised his eyebrows, "why did hartmann jr betray the north?"
"according to him, he hated duke dressrosa because they have given everything in the north but their noble rank has not increased for years. they are still a baron, no matter how many war merits they gather it becomes a wedding dress for others."
"well, that's a little more reasonable." marquis vincent groaned, but then asked, "then why do you still say 'everything seems to be going well'?"
"because i discovered that hartmann jr is hiding something from us."
"what is he hiding?"
"it was concealed that there are already 10,000 dressrosa knights in silver moon city!"
"dressrosa knights?" marquis vincent sat up straight and his face became serious.
"who told you this news?"
"sith westwood."
"do you believe him?"
"i know sith, he won't lie to me. besides, i have asked several other half-elf nobles who are on good terms with the east territory, and they all said they saw a group of dressrosa knights entering silvermoon city."
"what about queen elsa? what's her attitude?"
"she is probably a puppet fostered by the north. her words may not be trustworthy."
marquis vincent nodded and frowned, "so, they are just pretending to surrender to us in order to paralyze us?"
"it should be."
"haha, how arrogant!" marquis vincent's face was a little ferocious, "how many troops are there in silver moon city now?"
"sith told me that the silver moon guard of the half-elf kingdom had just experienced a coup and suffered heavy losses. although a group of new soldiers were urgently added and the establishment of 30,000 people was restored, there were only 20,000 veterans with a certain combat effectiveness.
apart from that, there are the remnants of the dressrosa knights with 10,000 men."
"the silver moon guards are nothing to be afraid of." marquis vincent waved his hand and said with disdain.
but then, his tone became serious again: "the key is the ten thousand dressrosa knight."
