Chapter 279: Leaks

"News about the Swamp of Despair?" Grand Duke Buck's face was gloomy as water, "Philip's messenger, how did he get to the Swamp of Despair?"

Because of the importance he attaches to the Swamp of Despair, Grand Duke Buck sees any force that mentions the Swamp of Despair as a thief, and wants to steal a piece from him to eat, even if he knows that the other party does not have the ability.

"The key is not with Philip, but with the messenger. "The messenger said that he had in his hands vital information about the success or failure of our plot against the swamp of despair, and that if His Majesty refused to see him, he would definitely regret it in the future." ”

"You mean that he did not want to see me in his capacity as Philip's emissary, but in his personal capacity?" Archduke Buck instantly understood what Scholar Channing was trying to say.

Although it is the same person, two identities, two concepts.

If he asks to see him as Philip's emissary, it means that this person is Philip's mouthpiece and speaks to him on Philip's behalf.

But in his personal capacity, he is purely representing himself, and he wants to get what he wants from the Kingsley family through intelligence, which may be wealth, power, or a roundabout route for Philip to be a lobbyist, so that it is not easy to guess whether the other party has the news or the purpose.

Archduke Buck could not say whether he liked or disliked such people, because they were uneven.

There is a real and useful piece of information, for which the Grand Duke of Buck never hesitates to reward, because only in this way will someone continue to tell him or bring more useful news next time.

There are also noisy and pampered people, as a ladder for their own promotion, and most of these people's grave grass is now several meters high.

I just don't know if it's the former or the latter.

Scholar Qian Ning spread his hands and said: "He didn't say it, he said that this matter is very important, and he needs to tell His Majesty in person." ”

Grand Duke Buck hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "For the sake of the scholar's face, I will meet this envoy, I hope this is not a small trick he plays, this kind of thing, not an example." ”

What prompted Grand Duke Buck to make this decision was the importance of the Swamp of Despair, and it was not a big mistake to be careful, and it would not take long to hear it.

But he also made up his mind in his heart that if this was just a small trick used by the other party to see him, even if it was to completely offend Viscount Philip, he would let the other party taste the anger of the Grand Duke.

"Yes, Your Majesty. The sergeant of Qian Ning University breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly said in his heart, he would no longer do this kind of thing next time he was killed, even if he missed important information about the military leader, after all, his own life was more important.

It didn't take long for the messenger of Viscount Philip, who had tried every means to meet Archduke Buck, appeared in front of Archduke Buck.

It was a well-dressed thin middle-aged man, with a unique aristocratic aura in his words and deeds, and it was obvious that he should have been born into a famous family and had received a good aristocratic education since he was a child.

"Greetings to you, King of Carthus, Kleist Noyce, and it is my greatest honor to meet you. "The emaciated middle-aged man Klester Noyce performed a proper aristocratic manner.

If McGee the Skullcrusher were here, he would be surprised to recognize that this emaciated middle-aged man was the right-hand man of Burton, the ruler of the Bastille, a slave hunter, and Sir Kleist, known as the treacherous fox.

Speaking of which, Sean was able to easily take down the Bastille, and this Sir Kleist also has a share of credit, if it weren't for his life being too sparing, seeing that the situation was wrong, and fleeing, but organizing people to resist desperately, it is still unknown who will die.

After all, the Boy Army led by Sean and the soldiers of McGee the Skullcrusher at that time were not as strong as they imagined.

And in the Bastille there was a slave army of nearly 2,000 men that remained untouched.

But in this world, there are no ifs.

So, since then, the Andys led by Sean have embarked on the road to rise, first the Eternal Night Army, then the Eternal Night Army, and then the current Eternal Night Army Leader.

And Sir Kleist, the treacherous fox, became an out-and-out lost dog, and ran all the way to the city of Solo, the leader of the Manyu army, to report the news, wanting to use it as a ladder for promotion, but he was not taken seriously by the Grand Duke Borg.

Before he could officially enter the sight of the Archduke Borg, the slave rebellion broke out, and the entire Manyu army was thrown into turmoil, and since then, he has disappeared and has not been seen again.

Unexpectedly, after nearly ten years, he transformed into an envoy to Viscount Philip and appeared in front of Archduke Barker.

"Noyce, Guy, Noyce, who are you?" said Grand Duke Buck, raising an eyebrow.

"It's my father. Sir Kleist replied truthfully.

"You are the heir to the permanent exile of the Noyce family?" said Archduke Buck had a strange look on his face.

The reason why Archduke Barker is so sensitive to the surname Noyce is not how great this surname is, at its peak, this family was just a real power earl, the whole Byron Alliance, and the real power of the earls is not a hundred but eighty, and it is really not worthy of Archduke Buck to deign to remember them.

The surname Noyce is famous because it represents a great annoyance in the aristocratic circle, and he would rather have his inheritance in the hands of the next family name than exile his only heir permanently.

To this day, there is no accurate answer, because after his own son was exiled, Count Guy died within two months, and the exiled Kleist disappeared from the world, and no one knows where he went.

Therefore, there are various theories about this matter, including those who have a chaotic private life, those who plot against each other, and those who have been framed...... Either way, there is a little bit of truth, but it is untenable and cannot be fully explained.

It is precisely because it is unresolved that it is more attractive and enduring, but I didn't expect one of the parties to appear in front of him, which made Archduke Buck's gossip heart a little burning.

But you have to worry about your own face, and you can't ask this kind of personal question that reveals people's scars, in fact, this question just now is a bit out of place.

"If there is no second Neyce family, no second exiled heir, Your Majesty should be talking about me. Sir Kleist's heart swelled with a thick bitterness, originally thought that with the passage of time, everything would be diluted, but he didn't expect that there would still be people who remembered the events of the year, but he obviously didn't mean to explain to Archduke Buck, and directly brought the problem to the point, "Your Majesty knows that the Carthusian military leader is already on the edge of the cliff, and if he is not careful, he will be doomed." ”

"Why do you say this?" Although Grand Duke Buck was asking, the expression on his face was obviously disapproving, this kind of person who uses intimidating words to attract his own interest, and then throws out his own opinions, he has seen a lot, and when he really throws it out, eighty percent of it is nothing more than that, and those who can say something are considered good.

The Carthusian army is already on the edge of a cliff, and he is about to make a mistake and never recover?

How could he, as the Grand Duke of the Carthusian Army, be completely unaware of it?

Doesn't this mean that he, the Grand Duke, used to eat dry rice?

He can understand that he wants to get a chance to be promoted, but he can't change his routine and rhetoric?

Having said that, the other party himself is one of the biggest jokes in the noble circle of the Byron Alliance, and it is not surprising to make some jokes, he wants to see what tricks he can play.

The glimmer of interest that rose in Archduke Buck's heart was not due to Sir Kleist's solemn look and threatening words, but to his dark history.

If Sir Kleist had known what Archduke Buck was thinking, he would have walked away, that was another question.

"Your Majesty, do you know where the crisis comes from?" Sir Kleist asked a rhetorical question again, but not to Archduke Buck, but to himself, "the greatest danger to the Carthusian Commander now comes from the Swamp of Despair, and this is not alarmist, but the Swamp of Despair is not just the Carthusian Lord. ”

"What is so strange about this, anyone who knows anything about the prospect of the swamp of despair will be on the mind. Grand Duke Buck said impatiently.

Sir Kleist has been talking a lot of nonsense up to now, thinking about the people of the Swamp of Despair, and many of them have gone.

The Lancelot royal family, the Holy Aether Holy See, the Witches' Secret Society, the big and small lords and nobles of the Byron Alliance, which one does not want a piece of the pie.

It's just that the Carthusian military territory is too good to keep them out.

As long as he, the supreme ruler of the Carthusian military command, does not open Chrysostom, even if they are greedy, they can only watch honestly, is it possible that they still want to rush up and bite him?

In that case, it is not him who should be anxious, but the regent Princess Sophia.

Because once the civil war precedent is opened, the entire Byron alliance will be in jeopardy.

Don't look at the East and West Odin Empires are now fighting to the death, once the Byron Alliance has an opportunity, they will inevitably unite to go south, they have been peeking at the fertile land of Shannan for a long time.

"I'm not talking about the forces in the Byron League, no, I should say, I just joined the Byron League. Sir Kleist turned a blind eye to the displeasure on Archduke Buck's face, and said word by word, "Commander of the Eternal Night!"

"Commander of the Eternal Night?" do you mean the joke baron that Princess Regent canonized not long ago?

Although he is known as the first wise man of the Carthusian military leader, he also has his own limitations, that is, he is too arrogant and believes too much in his past experience and knowledge, so there is not a lot of news about the eternal night military leader, but he has never seen this mountain and the changes that have taken place there.

Even if the other party has done something that has a profound impact on the Byron alliance and even Ashan.

Of course, because the regent princess Sophia was involved in it, it attracted too much attention, and her combination punch before the re-flow of the Jacob River couldn't help but make people think that the re-flow of the Jacob River was her plan in itself, and she would not have thought that Sophia was actually hitching a ride on the Eternal Night Commander, and the Eternal Night Commander was the one who benefited the most.

You go on. Instead, Archduke Buck looked attentive.

He had long noticed this newly rising force, especially in the later period of Dicklon, the remnant of the slave rebel army, who was obviously aided by this force, and was finally taken away safely by them, which made Akmesser suffer a loss to the letter.

By doing so, the Eternal Night Warlord cleared the interior of the territory and was able to drive the army to the Swamp of Despair as quickly as possible.

Grand Duke Buck didn't blame Axmesser for this, but that didn't mean he didn't feel anything about it.

Since then, he has continued to pay attention to this new force.

It's a pity that this new force's unique geographical advantages make it an iron bucket, and water can't be splashed in, let alone ordinary sentinels, even those ghost slaves with Andes' faces, if they are thrown over, they will sink into the sea and there will be no news.

Archduke Buck wanted to know about this new force, but there was no channel.

But as long as you have the heart, you can always collect some useful things, such as the number of merchant ships coming and going back and forth on the Jacob River.

According to the data compiled in the past two years, the number of merchant ships entering and leaving the Andes Mountains has shown an increasing pattern.

What does this mean?

This means that the Nightlord has its own shipyard, and it's not small.

It means that the trading volume is increasing day by day, and even Grand Duke Buck, who is accustomed to seeing strong winds and waves, is secretly frightened.

Somewhat put away the contempt in their hearts, after all, the total value of their annual transactions was not much less than the annual output of the Carthusian military leaders, were they still aliens?

When Sir Kleist spat out the name, it really made Archduke Buck's heart chuckle, and he remembered a fatal problem that he had overlooked, that it was not only the Carthusian commanders but also the Andys who were next to the swamp of despair.

How could they turn a blind eye to the swamp of despair that was making a difference?

Or maybe the other party is already planning, but they just don't know it.

It's scary to think about.

Although Grand Duke Buck was trying to control the expression on his face, cold sweat involuntarily overflowed, showing the intensity of his inner activity.

"Speaking of the rise of the Eternal Night Warlord, this is from nine years ago, he first came to prominence in the slave hunting city of Bastille, which was under the Manyu Army, but that city was too small for most people to notice, and I knew so much because I was in the Bastille at the time, and I witnessed the whole process of those mountain people......" Sir Kleist came with the information he knew.

Night attack on the Bastille.

The Manyu army leader gathered an army of 50,000 to attack the Andes of the Bastille, but he didn't even see the people of the eternal night army, and he was bewitched by an empty city and a pile of treasures, and the burning ghosts cried wolf, and the entire Manyu army fell into turmoil and collapsed without a fight.

There has always been a faint shadow of them on the slave rebels that swept across the Manyu Army, and the Andes Longbow that Dicron had broken Viscount Philip's golden camel was traded to them by the Eternal Night Army.

Then, through the Manyu army, the Countess Angie Bena, he got in touch with the regent Sophilia, and plotted to dig up the lake on the ground and restore the Jacob River to the river, and made a great success, as evidenced by the four-party talks.

Originally, they wanted to support Viscount Philip to ascend to the throne, but this Viscount had serious character flaws, even if he mentioned it and tried to disguise it, but at the critical moment, he still showed his feet, and was recognized by the cunning leader of the Eternal Night Army, and took the opportunity to destroy it, and they signed a tripartite agreement behind their backs, and now Viscount Philip has become an outcast outright, and once it has no value, he can throw it away at any time.

It now seems that Viscount Philip and Patrium are fighting for the supremacy of the Manyu Army, but in fact, the final decision is long out of the hands of these two, not even the Holy See and the Witches' Order.

Instead, in the hands of Princess Regent Sophia, Countess Angie Bena, and the Eternal Night Lord, a tripartite alliance that is not valued by most of the forces of the Byron Alliance, they can support a puppet at any time as long as they want, and take the supreme rule of the Manyu Army Lord.

The reason why they didn't do this now was not because their interests were not big enough, but because they all had other plans, especially the Eternal Night Commander.

Even a recovering ruler can't look down on it, naturally because he sees greater benefits.

Looking around them, there is only one such benefit - the Swamp of Despair.
