Chapter 549: proxy lord

【Steel, guns and the industrial party across the world】【】

When the first ray of sunlight shone on Huxin Town in the morning, the tense and chilling atmosphere that had accumulated throughout the night did not dissipate.

There are guards on duty at every intersection, most of them are composed of militiamen who only learned how to shoot the day before. The militiamen are watching everything around them nervously and excitedly. Although they have not slept all night, they are all in high spirits. After last night's mobilization, these young lads felt that they were on some sacred and great mission--to save Arda from the conspirators.

The prosperous streets of Huxin Town in the past have become deserted today. Only those who have to go out due to urgent matters have the courage to go out on the street carefully. Fortunately, except for a few blocked areas, they are not allowed to enter and exit, and they cannot go out of the city. , they did not suffer any embarrassment.

In the lord's mansion, the important officials of the Government Council who were summoned all night did not close their eyes all night. At this time, they were all standing in two rows in the vestibule of the castle, as if they were waiting for some important person.

A carriage got out of the alley beside the road, and then slowly drove towards the Lord's Mansion from south to north along the central axis of the city, with a team of equestrian guards on both sides of him. It is very eye-catching on such a deserted street.

About twenty minutes later, the carriage drove into the castle gate of the Lord's Mansion and stopped in the vestibule.

A knight next to him dismounted from his horse. It was Lieutenant Bulgan, the chief of the training department who was authorized by the staff to be in charge of martial law in the city. The militiamen gathered in Huxin Town were all under his command.

Bulgan approached the carriage, stretched out his hand to open the door, and said loudly, "Your Excellency Yurio, please get out of the carriage. The members of the Government Affairs Council are already waiting for you."

A fair-skinned hand reached out from inside and gently clasped the door frame, and then a well-dressed middle-aged man stepped out of the car.

He was dressed in dark gold-toned robes, of medium build, with a well-groomed beard and a slight double chin.

This man, whom Bulgan called Lord Yurio, had a tired and sad look on his face, and his whole body revealed a look of depression, as if he hadn't slept all night.

All the people in the courtyard turned their gazes to him, and Old Ford, the director of the Government Affairs Council, stepped forward slowly and bowed slightly to greet him, "Your Excellency Yurio."

"Ah!" Yurio sighed and said in a hoarse voice: "Mr. Ford, I really didn't expect such a thing to happen, let alone see you in this state. I was here last week. I used to take a walk in the yard with Lord Graman, but now it's... oh, no matter what, I ask for your condolences."

"My condolences, too." Manager Ford's voice was equally hoarse, "Bulgan must have told you the reason for inviting you here."

"Yes...he also told me the danger Arda is facing now. Since the Lord of Light has pushed me to the crossroads that determine Arda's fate, then I will not say anything hypocritical. I—Julio Weber Sturt is willing to take up that responsibility and restore the Gleiman name."

When Yurio was talking, Old Ford was looking at him all the time. His tone was very firm, but his eyes showed some nervousness, hesitation and unconfidence. This combination actually dispelled some of Old Ford's doubts.

Yurio was also looking at Old Ford, and he reached out to hold the hand of the director of the Government Affairs Council, "Please help me, let us work together to overcome the current difficulties."

Old Ford nodded lightly, "We will, Master Yurio. Now, please enter the hall, we urgently need to write letters to those surrounding lords in the name of the Graman family, to deter those who have evil intentions." Families, and at the same time, those friendly families should be used as support."

"I understand." Yurio replied, "Come and I will write. However, Arda, Bairding, and Emden must be notified as soon as possible that a new... acting lord has been established, so as not to appear The phenomenon of poor governance."

Old Ford said: "Naturally, the ministers of the Government Council, including me, have written a joint letter to announce your new identity to the public. Mr. Gardner has also sent someone there."

Next, Old Ford will stand in the yard to greet the acting lords and introduce them to Yurio one by one, although he already knows many people.

After the introduction, the officials of various ministries followed the two into the hall of the Lord's Mansion, and everyone took their seats again.

They discussed which people around them might harbor ill intentions towards Arda, who would stand on Arda's side, and how to write letters to different people.

Then there was how to deal with the rebellion in Babor Village. The final conclusion was to send troops to wipe out those rebels in one fell swoop after the four integrated infantry battalions who had gone out for field training were called back to avenge Paul Greiman.

At the same time, martial law will continue to be imposed on Huxin Town until the lurking rebels in the city are hunted down.

The acting lord Yurio and the officials of the various ministries held meetings until near noon, and only then did people get ready to write and start writing letters...

At this time, someone found Lieutenant Burgan, who was also at the venue and was the sole representative of the military, and quietly reported to ~www.readwn.com~ that an army appeared outside the city.

Butler Philip quietly left the venue with heavy steps.

After welcoming the acting lord Yurio with the officials of the Government Affairs Council just now, he felt that he was not in the mood to stay here any longer.

Grief has filled his whole body, rebellion, border troubles... Let these headaches be handed over to the officials appointed by Paul. I hope they will not disappoint the young master, and he is just the steward of the Greiman family.

Philip made up his mind that he would wait in this lord's mansion until the young master's revenge was avenged, then resign and leave here, and return to his hometown to spend the rest of his life.

He has no interest in continuing to stay here to serve Yurio, who inherited the name of Greiman. For Philip, after Paul left, the real Greiman family is no longer in this world. Yuri Ao is just a bystander bearing the name of Graeman.

Philip wandered aimlessly in the castle, sometimes having the illusion that Paul was beside him, but every time the illusion was immediately shattered.

"Alas!" He pushed away the office where Paul often stayed to handle official business, which was full of various books and documents, wondering how the new owner of the castle would deal with them.

All are all! All are all!

There was a sound coming from the window, and the old butler turned his head to look, only to see a big parrot sitting on the window sill outside, knocking on the glass with its beak.

This parrot...how familiar? The old butler somehow felt this way.
