Chapter 429: Change of Plan

But in this case, it is not easy to use the broken blood castle.

Especially in a family like the Lancelot royal family, which pays great attention to genealogy and bloodline, even if the part of Jennifer's bloodline that belongs to the Odin orcs is already very small, if you want to become the queen of the Lancelot royal family, you will still be picked up by others and become a reason for others to attack.

Because staring at the position of the queen of the royal family, it is not just the Streich family.

Every time there is a battle for the queen's throne, it is full of games of rights and interests.

This time, their biggest advantage should still be the regent princess Sophia, with her maneuvering around, they have a better chance of winning.

"You don't need to tell them anything, just let little Sophia deal with it when you get to the royal capital, she is better at it than you. Archduke Cedric added.

"Got it!" General Estmund replied in a muffled voice, and strode away without looking back, letting this five-year-old and three-year-old man explain to the two innocent and casual little girls what marriage is and what responsibility is, and it is indeed a little difficult for him.

As I just said, the Strelch family is not the only one who is eyeing the throne of the royal family.

Not only those grand duke families, but also powerful lords and nobles, who had girls of the right age in their families, after getting the news that the new king of the Lancelot royal family was ready to come to the forefront, they all embarked on the road to Valesta.

No, it would be more accurate to say that the men and women of the All-Byron League who are of marriageable age are on their way to Valesta.

Don't forget that it's not just the young prince who is about to rise to the pinnacle of power who needs a queen.

The young princess, who is about to step down the title of regent, also needs a husband.

There is no shortage of young people in this world, the kind of young people who want to climb to the sky in one step.

After the New Year's carnival, Valesta seems to have entered spring in an instant, and the smell of male hormones and estrogen is everywhere.

The royal family of Lancelot has not yet said it, and those self-righteous young people have spontaneously compared.

The way the young men showed themselves was to show off their strength, and the old aristocratic duel was turned over by them, and for a while, the white-glove duel became a fashion for Valesta.

If you want to rob me of the princess, duel!

If you don't agree on politics, let's duel!

If you don't like each other, let's duel!

Anyway, there was nothing that a duel couldn't solve, at least in the eyes of the young knights who had drunk a few glasses of liquor and didn't know what their last name was.

They didn't know that the biggest goal for them to fight for life and death already belonged to them, even if they won all the duels, nothing would happen to them.

How could a high-end matter like the princess regent's choice of a husband be reduced to the point where they used such childish means to decide where to belong.

Those girls who don't let go of any occasion to compete for beauty are in a similar situation.

Choosing a queen is not a beauty pageant, it is not a glamorous crowd that can win, it must have enough prominent bloodline and a large family as support.

Otherwise, even if there is an encounter with the young prince at a banquet and a beautiful and moving love story, the final result is only to become one of the young prince's lovers, but cannot become his queen.

The queen is, to some extent, a political product of the out-and-out kind.

The young prince's mind is completely off this now, except for being captured by the regent Princess Sophilia every day and learning to deal with various government affairs, the rest of the time is spent with the little griffin presented to the royal family by the commander of the eternal night.

I can't wait to eat and sleep together, so that this little griffin can grow up overnight and take him to the sky.

A child is still a child after all, and he will not grow up overnight because of the wishes of others.

Princess Regent Sophiea has the idea of pulling out seedlings to help them grow, which does not mean that Prince Laurie's side will cooperate.

Privately, Sophia blames Sean for sending the little griffon and abducting Prince Laurie, making him lose his plaything.

Sean smiled wryly and bitterly, it seemed that she was the one who helped Prince Laurie come up with the idea to extort the Eagle mount from his hands, and she was also ecstatic when he first received the two little griffins.

Now that Prince Laurie is obsessed with petting griffins, how did he become his pot again?

But this kind of question must not be asked, this black pot is still honestly carried on its back, this is the privilege of women in the love honey tank.

In fact, compared to those strong women in her previous life, Sophie's strength is not pure.

Largely because she is in this position, she has to shoulder this burden, pretend to be strong, and there is still a bit of male superiority and inferiority in her bones, after all, the environment in which she lives is like this, like Wu Zetian, she has grown into the ultimate feminist in the outright patriarchal world, and she is in the minority, and there is only one such person in the entire history of the flower planter.

In private, Sophia rarely shows her superiority, and she is also very measured when she is occasionally coquettish, which makes Sean feel very comfortable.

After the New Year's carnival ended, Sean had planned to return to the Eternal Night Commander in a black collar as soon as possible.

It has become a custom for the Eternal Night Warlords to hold high-level meetings every year to summarize the gains and losses of the past year and make plans for the coming year, especially Sophia's sudden decision before the New Year, which has a considerable impact on the Eternal Night Warlords, and they must adjust their future strategic layout.

The plan could not keep up with the rapid change, and just as he was about to return, he learned from the regent Princess Sophia that Archduke Cedric would come to Valesta in the near future, and brought news of the latest movements of the Orcs of Odin.

Sean decided to postpone the high-level meeting.

Archduke Cedric is the out-and-out white jade pillar of the Byron Alliance, and it is precisely because of him and the broken blood horse led by him that he sticks to the border all the year round, and there will be the life song and dance of the Byron Alliance.

The more he understands the strength of Odin's orcs, the deeper Sean's admiration for this kingdom knight becomes.

The slightly larger Odin orc tribe has made the Eternal Night Army leader retreat, and Archduke Cedric has been able to carry the two major Odin empires for so many years, what a great thing.

Sean is full of curiosity about such heroic figures.

And he is also Princess Sophia's grandfather, the two want to come together, sooner or later they have to pass him, although their relationship is not like ordinary people, the final result is not someone's will, but it is also a good choice to win the favor of the other party in advance.

The most important thing is the news of the Orcs brought by Archduke Cedric, and it is definitely not a trivial matter for him to come to Valesta in person.

In fact, the Hawkeye Secret Service of the Eternal Night Commander has already felt the storm on the Odin savannah.

In the past ten years, the Western Odin Empire has produced a generation of male lords, and the royal court is in full swing, and last year she married the princess of the fox clan who has the reputation of the queen family.

The East Odin Empire is declining, the old lions are in decline, and the young lions are fighting for power with their teeth and claws, which will make the entire eastern Odin steppe a miasma.

When the balance of confrontation is broken, even a fool knows that something will go wrong.

It's just that the time of the Eternal Night Military Leader's operation is too short after all, the Hawkeye Secret Service has been on the side of the Byron Alliance in recent years, and although the Odin Prairie has been mixing sand with the caravan model, it is difficult to control the overall situation in a short period of time.

Again, the Odin steppe is too big, and the lives of various tribes are too free, hundreds of eagle eyes are thrown into it, and they don't even have a splash.

The Broken Blood Fortress has been fighting with the Odin Empire for so many years, and it is not unusual for them to infiltrate and understand them, and they will definitely be above the Eternal Night Commander, holding information that they don't know, otherwise Sean would have to wonder why they have held out for so long.

The movements of Odin's orcs are also closely related to the Eternal Night Warlord.

And not only the issue of the Kogel steppe outside the northern fortress.

And because the Eternal Night Warlords are now increasingly close to the Byron Alliance, the wealth plundered from their trade has taken up the majority of the Eternal Night Warlords' financial revenues.

The Byron Alliance has been shattered, and the Eternal Night Leader will also be greatly affected, at least the current super-fast development speed will be lost.

However, judging from the situation unfolding on the Odin steppe, it is unlikely that the Odin Empire will launch a full-scale war against the Byron Alliance.

On the contrary, it is more likely that the West Odin Empire will launch a full-scale invasion of the East Odin Empire.

There's also a lot of room for manoeuvre.

There is a kind of wealth in this world, called war money.

Fighting a war always requires armaments and supplies, right?

The Eternal Night Warlord happened to be one step ahead in this regard, especially when it came to black powder.

In the Swamp of Despair battle, the amount of black powder used by the Eternal Night Army Leader is certainly terrifying, but it can't stand the hundreds of arsenals inside the Eternal Night Army Leader with full firepower, and the amount of black powder produced is even larger.

According to post-mortem statistics, they used less than a tenth of the total production.

And the black powder has now been declassified, and it is no longer the monopoly product of the Eternal Night Army.

The Eternal Night Leader is preparing to take advantage of the last gap to make a move.

Sean initially set his sights on the Kingsley family's mining business, Grand Duke Buck, and was intrigued.

However, the Kingsley family has been squeezed enough by the Eternal Night Army Leader in the form of war compensation, and in a short period of time, the oil and water are limited, which can only be regarded as a long-term transaction, and there is no way to eat the inventory of the Eternal Night Army Leader in one bite.

And Archduke Buck is not a fool, he will not completely rely on imports for this kind of military supplies, and it is inevitable to go back and extrapolate the formula.

In short, the bulk purchase and sale of black powder is very time-sensitive, and now is the best time for the Eternal Night Army to lead bulk shipments.

Archduke Cedric can be called resolute, not long after Sean's side received the news, the other party has already led a broken blood horse to the city of Valesta, and the thousands of miles of attack are nothing more than that.

"It's Archduke Cedric, it's really Archduke Cedric, our guardian, the legendary god of war, I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to meet him in my lifetime. ”

"Look at his mental outlook, look at his waist, look at the armor, he is worthy of being a knight of our kingdom, it is said that he is nearly a hundred years old, and he can't see it at all. ”

"This is normal, you think that the champion knight is blown out, and it will not be a problem for Archduke Cedric to protect us for another thirty or fifty years. ”

"Thirty or fifty years is too short, I still wish he could live forever, protect us forever, as long as he is there, we can sleep peacefully. ”

"Blood-colored heavy armor, severed head sword, blood-colored cloak, so powerful, so evil, the broken blood horse really lives up to its reputation, only such a knight can guard our border, I really want to join them. ”

"Haha, it's just you, you also want to join the Broken Blood Ride? I heard that the horseman who rides with the Broken Blood also has to start with the knight-level strength, you don't even have the qualifications to be a horseman, and you still want to join the Broken Blood Ride? Unless the Broken Blood Ride is rotten to a certain extent, don't think about it in your lifetime. ”

"You dare to humiliate me, I'm going to fight you in a duel!"

"Duel? haha...... Have you been spoiled by those lord's sons who don't have long brains?

"You despicable coward, you don't even dare to take a duel, do you still have any glory?"

"What is glory? Can it be eaten as a meal? Just watch the excitement, don't talk useless and make people laugh. ”

"You say, Your Excellency Archduke Cedric, why did you suddenly come to the royal capital? He has come to the royal capital no more than ten times in his life, and each time it is accompanied by earth-shattering events, the last time he came to the royal capital, it was to support Princess Sophilia to ascend to the regent, I heard that the team of bloody horsemen he brought at the beginning, but it was bloody and bloody in the royal capital. ”

"I don't know don't spread rumors, it wasn't the blood horse at all, but the Iron Rose Knights of Her Royal Highness the Princess, Archduke Cedric didn't let a single soldier enter the city from beginning to end, and the Stritch family claimed not to interfere in the inheritance dispute of all the Grand Dukes of the Byron Alliance. ”

"What's the difference? Without the support of Grand Duke Cedric, how could Her Royal Highness the young princess form the Iron Rose Knights? Now everyone knows that the Iron Rose Knights are just the reserve of the Broken Blood Horse, and the elite has not ended up flowing to the Broken Blood Horse. ”

"I don't know that there is a default rule among the nobles, there is no direct evidence, neither has it been done, Archduke Cedric is playing within the rules, others can't find fault with it, you have this ability, you can also play like this, besides, it's all old accounts, what's the point of mentioning this? Or do you have any complaints about the rule of Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

"You can eat indiscriminately, you can't talk nonsense, when did I say that I complained about the rule of Her Royal Highness the Princess? I am also a person from here, I have experienced the rule of the previous regent, and I know how nonsense that guy is, if it were not for Her Royal Highness the Princess, I would not know what would have caused us Valleista to be! I am simply curious about the reason why Archduke Cedric came to the royal capital at this time. ”

"What's so strange about this? Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the Lancelot royal family and the Strachey family have a long history of marriage, which is the key to maintaining the stability of the broken blood castle, this generation should be a prince with half of the Streich family's blood to sit on the throne, but I didn't expect an accident, only one princess was born, and now the new king has grown up, and he will succeed to the throne soon, of course, the queen will be finalized, don't you see that there is a female carriage behind the team?"

"Is that our future queen?"

"Hey, I'm afraid this matter is not so simple, now staring at the position of the queen, but not only the Strelch family, but those noble ladies who don't know the height of the sky, let's not talk about it, the other seven families, as far as I know, there are no less than five young ladies of the right age, ready to launch an offensive on this matter. ”

"You just! Just by you, how can you know such high-end news?"

"It's not that the news I know is high-end, but you are too lonely and unheard, this kind of thing doesn't need to be deliberately understood at all, those people will take the initiative to spread the news in order to build momentum, you only need to pay careful attention to their usual movements, and you will easily guess which families are full of peeping at this position, they can still sit still before, and now the Streich family has entered the first step, those guys will definitely not be able to sit still, you just wait and see, it won't take long for them to rush to the royal capital one after another, and when that time comes, everything will be clear at a glance." 。 ”

"It seems that this is indeed the reason, I didn't expect you to have such a hand, if this is the case, our royal capital will have another lively to watch. ”

"Who says it isn't! It's hard to say who will be the queen in the end. ”

The scene of Archduke Cedric's entry, the crowd of onlookers, can be described as a sea of people.

In contrast, the scene where Sean advances first to offer griffons is a bit of a trivial.

The reputation of the two is also very different.

The convoy led by the Eternal Night Army passed with a lot of cynicism.

The Broken Blood Rider led by Archduke Cedric was a piece of praise, and even the occasional slander was drowned in a cloud of saliva.

The shadow of the name tree of man.

The broken blood horse has resounded in Assane for so many years, and the accumulated results have long established an invincible image in people's hearts.
