As Charlotte guessed, Viscount Austin, who was able to lead the rebels to survive in enemy-occupied territory, would not be foolish enough to refuse Charlotte's rare ally. After all, both Charlotte's personal power and the political power he represents are indispensable and huge forces for Viscount Austin and even the almost fallen Lotsunte.

Not only was he not stupid, but the old man, who looked more like an old peasant than a nobleman, was far wiser than Charlotte had imagined. After talking with his childhood friend Hoyle that night, Viscount Austin invited Charlotte to the main camp the next day, and apologized to Charlotte on the spot in a very humble and low-key manner.

"I didn't know that the Count had been staying in the Dark Regions for the past few years, so that he had wronged you in a daze. Alas, people are old, and they don't think about problems very well. If it weren't for Hoyle's reminder, I would have forgotten that you should represent Icewind Castle, Earl, and misunderstood your most trusted ally, ten thousand deaths!"

What else can Charlotte say about the 180-degree change in Austen's attitude?

He didn't believe Austin, and at first he didn't think that he was now representing Icewind Castle instead of Erossa!

But this old guy deliberately expressed his dislike for Clayderman when they first met, but he maintained his proportions and did not make the relationship between the two parties irreparable. Now that I think about it, the reason why Austin did this was because of the peculiarity of Icewind Castle.

During the Shuidu Incident, the three kings made a covenant to advance and retreat together to face threats within the empire. However, Sylvia, the lord of Icewind Castle, insisted on the principle that Icewind Castle would not actively participate in any military operations between Erosa and Rocente unless the war affected the North.

Now Rosente is in a desperate situation, but the fighting has not spread to the north. According to the covenant of the year, Icewind Castle could completely sit on the sidelines. Austin probably took this into account to arouse Charlotte's guilt towards her mother's family in this way, so as to drag the powerful Duchy of Icewind Castle into the water.

As for Hoyle's visit, now think about it, in addition to his own wishes, I am afraid that there is also the intention of Viscount Austen.

Thinking through these joints, Charlotte no longer dared to underestimate this seemingly unpretentious old man. Think about it, how can an old man who can subdue many mountains of the rebels and be supported by many landless nobles be a good stubble.

Over the next few days, Charlotte gradually learned a lot of information about the battle of Fagado and the current situation through the Resistance, and she herself was invited by Austin to participate in the Resistance's decision-making operations. However, Charlotte was stunned by the Resistance's attempts to drag Icewind Castle down the quagmire of war through him.

It wasn't until a few days later that a piece of information from the outlying stakes supporting the rebels caused a shock in the calm but tense valley.

It was information brought by the Hidden Stake of Gerpenshire, and it was clear that two more members of the Leslie family survived the massacre after the city of Fagado was broken. These two men are the brothers Brent and Nell.

"That's the way it is. In the main business account, Viscount Austin asked the dark pile to explain the specific situation in the military meeting held, and then began to consult the top brass of the rebels, "What do you think now?"

Dark Stake mentions that after the defeat at the Battle of Fagado, the heir of the principality, Count Hibbert, sent the knights of the family to escort the brothers and sisters from all directions to escape from the castle, and he himself defended the city and calmly died.

However, among the many bloodlines of the Leslie family, only Brent and Nell escaped, but Nell was captured by Horcente during his escape. Brent, however, fled to Arro, where he gathered his vassals to resist.

Hearing Viscount Austin's question, one of the rebel commanders pondered for a long time and asked the stake, "Is your source accurate?"

The dark pile that brought the news to him without sleep endured the tiredness and nodded, "The news is very reliable." I have some friends who run the underground trade in County Yarrow, and they have confirmed Lord Brent's information. And Lord Nell...... I found out that he was indeed being held in the dungeons of the county capital of Geppen. ”

The commander nodded, "It's not that I doubt the authenticity of the news, but Viscount, have you thought about it?" The Hostents slaughtered the blood of the royal family, why would they leave Nell alone?"

Charlotte glanced at him, and from the tone of the commander's voice, he could not hear the slightest respect for Nell. Come to think of it, Nell's status as an illegitimate son made him unpopular among the Locente nobility.

Viscount Austin didn't answer, but looked at Charlotte, "Earl, do you have any thoughts on this?"

Charlotte groaned and nodded, "I felt strange at first, but after seeing this adult's performance, I took it for granted. ”

The commander who had just spoken frowned.

"I'm sorry, but I didn't mean to criticize you. Charlotte nodded at him, "But it seems to me that it may be because of Nell's identity that the Horcents left him alive." ”

"You mean?" Hoyle reacted, "They want to turn this war into a civil war over the succession to the throne by holding Nell hostage?!"

"Especially now that Brent has summoned his vassals to continue the rebellion in the county of Yarrow. Charlotte replied in the affirmative.

The commander who had questioned him at the beginning had to agree with this assumption, and soon a lively discussion began at the top of the camp.

Some of the higher-ups thought that it would be more beneficial for the rebels to stay in the rear and share the pressure for Brent, while others thought that Brent was in a worrying situation against the Horcente army group with the strength of one county, and suggested that the rebels should rush to Yarrow County to join Brent, otherwise the only bloodline of the Leslie family would burp (bastards were not recognized), and it would be useless for them to play.

The men who had completely excluded Nell from Herbert's heirs quarreled so much that the two factions behind them became angry. One side says, 'Do you have a big picture!', and the other side says, 'If you don't save Brent, do you still have loyalty?'......

At the end of the quarrel, a nobleman who seemed to be quite shrewd, but in fact lacked heart, actually said in front of Charlotte, and even said, "If you don't go to Yaluo County, if something happens to His Highness, then Rosente will have to be surnamed Clayderman!"

So the room was silent, and everyone in the quarrel looked at this guy who didn't keep the door on his lips with black lines, and then looked at Charlotte's face that was about to turn black to the bottom of the pot.

The man realized he had said the wrong thing, and he muttered, 'I mean...... If it's the Earl of Winterhold, it's not much of a problem...... No, I didn't mean to curse His Highness Brent, hey!' and slapped himself in disgust.

Well, it seemed to the group that it would rather cede the inheritance to Charlotte than let Nell, the bastard, lead them.

In the end, Austin couldn't stand it anymore, so he made a decision. Since everyone has a point, it is better to divide the rebels into two parts. Some of the guerrillas who remained in the rear incited the Rosentes to revolt and helped the main force to share the pressure while retaining the vital forces to continue to grow, while the main force immediately set off for the county of Yarrow to reinforce the distressed Burrent.

Everyone looked at each other, thought about it, and felt that this was the only way to be safe.

But then Austin's other proposal, whether to save Nell, was overwhelmingly opposed. Almost everyone agreed that it was simply not worth venturing to the treacherous county of Gperpenshire for the sake of an illegitimate child.

At this point, Charlotte couldn't stand it anymore. After all, although most of the top leaders of the rebel army are made up of nobles, these people are not talented generals after all, and it is impossible to expect them to see a deeper level.

"Everyone. So Charlotte could only stand up and say, "I think Nell must be saved." Think about it, if Hoscent wants to support Nel against Brent, then Nel's influence on the situation is crucial! You don't want to see the two kings of Rosente stand side by side, do you?"

There was a lot of talk in the tent, and for a while, almost everyone was persuaded by Charlotte.

"The Count has a point, but if we can't save Nell, we must prepare for the worst, and make sure that he is not used by the Hostents. Although he can also be regarded as the heir of the Grand Duke, he ...... For the sake of Losente, that's all there is to it!"

The words of the senior executive speak for everyone.

Charlotte carefully observed everyone's expressions, and almost everyone was awe-inspiring except for Hoyle and Viscount Austin, who were ashamed. In the end, Charlotte's eyes met Austin, and the old man, who had had been unhappy with him, was slightly stunned, and seemed to see Charlotte's thoughts, so he shook his head at him helplessly.

In the end, everyone quarreled about the rescuers. After all, no one wants to risk their lives to go to Gpannushire, where the Hocente garrison is located. You know, the deceased Herrington is there too.

"Since I made this proposal, then let me go!" Charlotte interrupted everyone's argument with a cold face, "It just so happens that I also want to see how capable the murderer of my uncle is!"

As soon as he said this, everyone looked at each other.
