Chapter 837 Secret meeting ([-])

The suburbs of London are completely different from the suburbs in the impression. A series of towering buildings, scattered streets, and some buildings left over from the middle ages, all of which can feel the heavy historical imprint of the city of London. At this moment In the center of the city, there is a magnificent building like a palace standing abruptly in a forest garden. The trees in the forest garden seem to be slowed down by a time outside, and the leaves on the street outside have all fallen into pieces on the ground. When the leaves are scattered everywhere, the leaves in the garden begin to slowly turn yellow and fall.

Compared with the harmony of the surrounding suburbs, the manor seems a bit chilly. This place has always been a place where the surrounding residents are competing to guess, because no one knows exactly what kind of people live in this place. It can be deserted as if no one has lived in it for more than ten years. I have lived here, and it seemed like an important meeting place for a while. Sometimes, the garden will be surrounded by densely packed vehicles of all kinds, countless, and the highest peak has reached hundreds of vehicles. Even the avenue Intersections also become congested.

Local residents have a lot of legends about this house. It is said that this manor is home to quite famous political figures, and it is also said that this is the meeting place of gangsters, and it is even said that this is the manor of a hidden nobleman in the Eagle Empire, etc. What is the legend about the house is all the speculation of the nearby residents. The mystery of this manor is enough to make the surrounding people flinch.

But for the Duke of Humington, this manor is just a foothold in London. Today, the Duke of Humington is dressed in a red robe, with a duke's crown hat, and the buttons on the clothes are exquisite. As for the shiny gemstone, there are dozens of cars parked outside the manor. The manor is tall and gorgeous, but because of the shade of the surrounding gardens, there is not enough light, and it has a somewhat gloomy and oppressive aura.

The Duke of Humington was sitting in the center of the conference table in the hall. Above the conference table was a magnificent ceiling lamp that illuminated the surroundings. The surrounding decorations were beautiful, and even the conference table in front of him had some faintly shining patterns.Beside the table were a few people with different clothes, appearances, and demeanors. These people were not as formally dressed as the Duke of Humington, but just by looking at them, you can see that everyone has an extraordinary appearance, and their eyes are shining, which can be seen that they are not Wait for the idle generation.

A series of guards stood around the gate of the manor. The meeting called by the Duke of Humington today is absolutely crucial. If any nobleman of the Eagle Empire is present, he will be surprised by the people attending the meeting today. After all, the six Dukes of the Eagle Empire are here. This gathering was enough to shake the entire Eagle Empire.

The dukedom of the Eagle Empire is very powerful. It is no exaggeration to say that at least half of the economic lifeline of the entire Eagle Empire is controlled by these eighteen noble dukes involved in various fields and aspects. The commercial empire has built various industries within the Eagle Empire covering infrastructure, tourism, food, transportation, information technology and other fields, and the [-]th Duke is because of his prominent status and outstanding status, except for the Queen's personal invitation. In addition, they have always been alone, and there are few gatherings. Now the six dukes appear collectively in the manor of the Duke of Humington. This phenomenon is enough for senior aristocratic commentators to speculate.

"This time I invite everyone to come here for two reasons. The first one is the upcoming Eagle Empire Royal Swordsmanship Competition. As we all know, the Duke of Stoke is known as the number one master of swordsmanship among the Eagle Empire nobles. This time he handed in the The quota for the competition is likely to become a threat to all of us!" The Duke of Humington looked at the crowd in front of him proudly, the six people in front of him are one of the pillars of the Eagle Empire, from left to right, Han the King of the Hill The Duke of Mings, the Duke of Telly in the eastern province of the Eagle Empire, the Duke of Barrett, the special political officer of the Eagle Empire, the Duke of Bill, a senior councilor of the Eagle Empire, has the third place in the swordsmanship of the nine nobles of the Eagle Empire, the Duke of Benjamin and the consort of the Western Province Not very famous, but because of the Duke of Carmen who controls water transportation.

The strength in the hands of the six dukes in front of them can shake the Eagle Empire for a while at every turn. The six dukes have different expressions, but they are very unified. Behind them are all kinds of bodyguards. With a loaded gun and live ammunition, a pair of eyes stared around vigilantly.

"The Duke of Stoke hasn't participated in this noble swordsmanship competition for more than ten years, and he only won the crown of the first swordsmanship 16 years ago, and this crown has been retained to this day. In my opinion, there is no need for us to Stocker should be more careful. After all, there are talented people from generation to generation. The reason why the Duke of Stocker still maintains the number one ranking is because he cleans himself up and wisely avoids participating in previous swordsmanship competitions. Now that he is very irrational If he re-enters this muddy water, then I, the Duke of Carmen, can almost guarantee that his ranking will not be guaranteed! The wisdom of his life and the only remaining reputation of the Duke of Stoke will only be destroyed once!"

The Duke of Humington nodded, "Everyone should know that the Manchester area is a very good piece of fat. Because it is close to the mouth of the Eagle Empire, so many things come and go. It is very convenient for us." The Duke of Humington glanced around Every time they meet a duke, the eyes of the two of them convey some knowing look. The Manchester area is the largest port of the Eagle Empire, and the total annual trade and transportation account for a huge proportion of the entire import and export of the Eagle Empire. When something goes to other countries, it is equivalent to opening up an international black market route.

"However, this area that brings us the greatest benefits is now under the noisy control of the Duke of Stoke. His administrative power makes it necessary for us to carry out our ocean transportation secretly, and it is even impossible to carry out large-scale operations. This is why we must suppress the Duke of Stoke’s momentum. Only by defeating the Duke of Stoke can we guarantee that I will take over the Manchester area. As long as we win the Eagle Empire’s outlet, we A sea route to all parts of the world will be established without hindrance, and at that time, in front of everyone, there will be a magnificent economic concept!" The Duke of Humington looked at the crowd quite proudly, waving his big hand, the green on the thumb The wrench is very prominent.

"Humington, your proposal is quite tempting, and your plan is really perfect!" Duke Barrett smoked a cigar, puffed out smoke, and laughed, "We used to only hear about the Duke of Stoke The relationship with the queen is not good, unexpectedly it is true, just this time you seized the invitation letter sent by the queen to Duke Stoke's royal dinner, which is an extremely clever means, Duke Stoke thought that the queen didn't mean to invite him at all, but The queen thought that Stoke would be furious if he didn't come to the meeting and ignored the invitation, but because of the psychological barrier between the two, it was inconvenient to question them face to face, which made them suspicious and jealous, haha , Humington, your strategy, even if Montgomery is reborn, is nothing more than this!"
