Chapter 806: A Cheap Mouth and a Cool Moment
"It's urgent, the Odin orcs are about to break through, and our army is mainly in the west, in a short period of time, there is no way to support the eastern defense line, the only thing we can rely on is Sister Wang's Iron Rose Regiment, the eternal night army leader voluntarily joined to support the eastern defense line, it is a good thing that I can't ask for, what is there to be angry about? Could it be that the Grand Duke thinks that he can block the iron hooves of the Odin orcs with his own strength?" King Laurie's last few words contained a mockery that could not be concealed.
"Even if it is trampled by the Orcs of Odin, it is also my territory, and if I let those robbers pass through it, no matter how well it is guarded, it will no longer be mine. Grand Duke Patlaim blurted out his greatest concern.
"What are you talking about?" Not to mention King Laurie, even Archduke Buck, who usually doesn't like shape, couldn't help but change color, and rebuked angrily, "Lord Patlem, please pay attention to your words, you are now not only the Grand Duke of the Manyu Army, but also the important minister of the Lancelot royal family, where are your words putting your people, if it spreads, do you still have the face to return to the territory?"
"Our most important duty now is to protect this land, to protect the people here, and for this common purpose, personal honor and disgrace and profit gains and losses must be put aside for the time being, and I hope the same is true of Archduke Patlem. King Laurie's tone was full of warning.
Warn Grand Duke Patalum not to do stupid things on the spur of the moment.
Stopping the Eternal Night Army from leading its army north to support the Broken Pulse Line was an extremely stupid thing in King Laurie's eyes.
In addition to the high-sounding reason just now, it is also because he knows his royal sister Sophia too well, and knows her deep feelings for Archduke Cedric and the Broken Pulse Defense.
The other party wrote to himself to explain the matter, and he had saved enough face for himself, if he didn't cherish it, Sophia would definitely use practical actions to slap his face, even if he was his own brother, after all, Archduke Cedric was also a blood relative to Sophia.
"You are betraying, this is betrayal. "Archduke Patlem, regardless of King Laurie's considerations, only feels that he has suffered an unprecedented betrayal, and he has given away his own territory.
No.
It is even possible that this was a conspiracy between King Laurie and Princess Sophilia to conspire to usurp his Manyu military domain.
Once this conspiracy theory grows in Patlem's heart, it takes root and can no longer be uprooted.
Substitute this colored gaze into it, observe the behavior pattern of King Laurie and Princess Sophia, and the more you look at it, the more you feel that there is a problem.
At that time, the royal family of Lancelot rebuilt the defense against the Western Odin Empire in the west, and the army of the Eternal Night represented by Sophilia led the army in the east.
The Manyu Leader will be wrapped in by the Eternal Night Leader, especially the slut Angie Bena, who has been waving her flag behind the Eternal Night Leader.
If that situation really occurs, according to her temperament, she will definitely go up and down to squeeze the benefits from the Manyu military leader.
With the support of the Eternal Night Commander and Sophia, Angel Bena was promoted from Countess to Archduchess, and the entire Manyu Army Leader would no longer have anything to do with him.
At that time, his right to speak in the new royal court will inevitably plummet, and it is good to be completely excluded from the upper echelons, and it is possible to end up miserable.
For people like them, there is never a chance of retreating from that supreme position.
There is no need for the new superiors to command, there will be countless sinister villains, in order to flatter, in order to gain more power and interests, they will not hesitate to drop countless rocks on him.
Because Archduke Patlaim has always done this, and in this way he climbed to where he is today.
In terms of governance ability, Archduke Patlem may be ambitious and talented, and his performance is very unbearable.
However, this kind of conspiracy and trickery and the drill camp of flies and dogs have their own uniqueness, especially when it comes to their own security and interests, they can see it very clearly.
The most important thing is that he is somewhat self-aware, knowing that his own military strength is a little, if it is not without the support of the new royal court, let alone the mighty Eternal Night Army Leader over the years, even if it is Princess Sophia's Iron Rose Knights, he may not be able to resist.
Thinking of the end, Archduke Patlem was not as simple as being angry, but trembling with horror and fat all over his body.
"Betrayal, betrayal?" "Archduke Buck said in a serious official tone, "Your Excellency Archduke Patalum is serious, everything we are doing now is for the sake of the overall situation, if we don't block the Orcs of the Theodin Empire, once they are allowed to rush into the Plains of Asia Minor unscrupulously, it will not only be the royal family that will be fatally hit at that time, but the entire alliance will fall apart, and at that time, no leader can fight against those murderous orcs on its own."
In order to prevent the tragedy of the collapse of the family and country, please forgive the Grand Duke for the time being.
We can guarantee that once this crisis is over, we will do our best to preserve the sovereignty of the Grand Duke in Manyu once this crisis is over, drive the Odin orcs out of the Broken Pulse defense line, and rebuild the defense.
As long as the royal family is still alive, as long as I am the prime minister of the royal family for one day, Your Excellency the Grand Duke, you are the legitimate ruler of Manyur, and this will never change. ”
"It's a high-sounding thing, the territory is going to be gone, what do I want to do with an empty name?" Patalem laughed angrily, "Since you don't do anything, then I will go to His Majesty the Godfather, Pope St. George, I don't believe it, everyone is stupidly sitting back and watching the development and growth of the Eternal Night Lord, haven't you seen until now that the biggest threat to the Byron Alliance is neither the Orcs nor the Witches, but the Eternal Night Lord? ”
"What did you say?" said King Laurie, and something in Archduke Patalem's words touched his sensitive nerves.
"Hahaha......" Grand Duke Patlem, who had torn his face, didn't care about King Laurie's excited reaction at all, and let out a malicious laugh, "It turns out that you all know, it's just that you don't want to face it, looking at everything you have done since you took the throne, not all of it is to prove yourself, to prove that you are the real king, and have the ability to surpass the Iron Princess."
But the more you do this, the more you prove that you are weak and your ability is insufficient, and the result of your doing this is just to make more people think about the good of the Iron Princess.
Maybe there are already many of your subordinates who have secretly taken refuge in the Iron Princess, and one day, you will welcome her back and become a real queen, and when the time comes, what are you going to do?"
In the end, Grand Duke Patlem can be described as full of malice and blatantly provoked the relationship between King Laurie and Princess Sophia.
Anyone who was familiar with King Laurie's temperament knew that the young king did not like to be told about his relationship and affection with Princess Sophia.
Archduke Patlem was naturally aware of this, but he had a different view of this peculiar situation from that of the rest of the world.
He did not think that King Laurie's dislike was a sign of their deep affection, on the contrary, it was a sign of vulnerability.
Their relationship was too fragile to withstand the gossip, at least on King Laurie's side.
In the past, Archduke Patlum would not take the initiative to provoke this right and wrong, but now that it is related to his own vital interests, he obviously can't take care of it.
He now wished that the new royal court and the Eternal Night Army Leader would tear their faces apart, so that his Manyu Army Leader would not be so completely lost.
As for whether this will cause the Odin orcs to take advantage of the fisherman, and the situation of the Byron Alliance will completely collapse, he doesn't care.
Archduke Patlaim never prides himself on being a noble man, and his personal interests and goals are always above the whole.
"Get out, you get out of here for me, come on, drive this great rebel out of my palace. King Laurie roared hoarsely.
Feeling the wrath of its master, the behemoth that had been crawling beside King Laurie's throne and pretending to sleep suddenly rose to its feet, its wings furious, and let out a sharp eagle's roar that pierced through the sky, a posture that would rush down at any moment and tear Archduke Patrium to pieces.
This behemoth is none other than the griffon, one of the royal symbols that the Eternal Night Warlord gave to King Laurie in order to improve his relationship with the Lancelot royal family.
Compared with the snow-white griffin in Sophia's hand, this one in King Laurie's hand is more kingly, not only has a larger size, but also has a golden wing hair, and with a tailor-made golden griffin armor saddle, it is definitely worthy of the name royal griffin.
"I don't have to do it, I'll leave myself. Although Grand Duke Patlem is still hard-mouthed, the small movements of his body have betrayed him.
He had seen the griffon's ferocity hunt before, and whether it was a bull in a gallop or a fierce horse galloping at high speed, it could not withstand its swooping blow from the sky.
Watching it hunt is a unique experience, and being its prey is another.
Patlem already regretted that he was quick to talk for a while, even if his previous words played a role in sowing discord, if it was at the cost of his life, it was not worth it.
King Laurie's raised right hand in a rage has not fallen for a long time, and the crime of killing an archduke in public is not so easy to bear, and it is very likely that he will betray his relatives.
Before the Grand Duke of Patlem left the palace, he could not restrain his humble mouth after all, and spoke again: "Sooner or later, you will pay the price for what you have done today." ”
"Kill him!" King Laurie's raised right hand fell down heavily.
The royal griffin's strong hind legs slammed to the ground, its wings vibrating, and in a semi-swooping posture, it pounced on Archduke Partlem.
As soon as the Grand Duke of Patlaim spoke, he knew what he was going to face, and immediately smeared oil on the soles of his feet and rushed out of the palace gates, his guards already surrounded him.
Even if the flat-haired beast chased him out, it wouldn't threaten him anymore.
King Laurie didn't really want to kill Archduke Patlem after all, and when he scared him away, he shouted at his mount.
Not to mention how King Laurie roared angrily, after the Grand Duke of Patlem came out of the palace, he scolded the stupidity of King Laurie and Prime Minister Barker, boarded his carriage, and went straight to the palace of Pope St. George in Valesta.
When King Laurie decides to draw on the power of the Holy See, he will have to pay a price - to be constrained by the Holy See.
Although Pope St. George rarely speaks, everyone knows that he has a very high voice in the new royal court, and even King Laurie has to pay attention to it.
Archduke Patlem had a nose on King Laurie's side, and naturally wanted to exert himself on Pope St. George's side.
However, Archduke Patlem did not even enter the Pope of St. George, and was stopped by the Templars at the door.
This kind of obstruction directly provoked the Archduke Patleme, who was holding back the fire in his belly, and threw his fat face in front of the Templar, and roared angrily, "Open your dog's eyes and see who I am, I am Patlem, the Grand Duke of the Manyu Army, the Minister of Intelligence of the Lancelot royal family, and the godson of His Majesty St. George's own ordination, who gave you such the audacity to dare to stand in my way?"
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, Your Majesty personally ordered that during his prayers, no one should be allowed to enter, let alone His Excellency, even His Majesty the King himself. The Templar replied without humility or arrogance.
"See, it's His Majesty the Pope who has the final say, not you, the watchdog, hurry up and go in and tell you, just say that I, Patlem, have something to do with the future of the Holy See, and if you delay my big event, you can't afford to bear this responsibility. Patlem resisted the urge to push hard.
It depends on the owner to beat the dog.
A few Templars alone could not stop Archduke Patlem, but when he met Pope St. George, it was difficult to explain.
"No one is allowed to enter without being summoned by His Majesty. The Templar was like a repeater, his expression and tone did not change in the slightest, let alone let alone let him go, and he did not even mean to go in and say goodbye.
"You goddamn watchdog. Archduke Patlem's voice was raised by three points, "I said, I want to talk about important matters related to the future development of the Holy See, this kind of responsibility is not something you can bear, I want to meet His Majesty the Pope in person......"
Bang!
The door behind the Templars suddenly opened, and the thick holy power inside seemed to be gushing out.
A deep voice came from within, "Let him in." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty. The four Templars at the gate parted at the same time and made way for them.
"Hmph!" said Grand Duke Patlem with a cold snort, straightened his clothes, and walked through the door.
Bang!
Patlaim had just walked in, and the door behind him closed again, pushed by an invisible hand.
The holy power that permeated the whole room overwhelmingly pressed on Archduke Patlem.
Patrium's fat face, which was originally full of anger, quietly dissipated with anger, leaving only a calm.
