Chapter 4: Bloody Rain. Sequence. middle

"It seems that at least we don't have to worry about starvation." Wilhelm II grinned, but soon a fierce, bright white light flashed in his eyes. "However, someone must be sent to find out immediately! Kill one of the forces behind the mysterious merchants and the negligent nobles of Yorkshire! If you don't deter those shit, maybe they will even dare to sell the entire city and county in the future!! ”

Wilhelm II said with a murderous face.

At this time, a confidant general of Wilhelm II stood out below.

"Your Majesty, I don't think we don't know the forces behind that group of mysterious merchants. Rather, they are probably the only ones who can do this now. ”

William II took advantage of the situation and turned out to be the commander of his own British Legion, the First Legion. Not.

Jack. Fei was a veteran of the battlefield in his forties, who at first followed William I the Conqueror's personal bodyguard, and later was unusually promoted to deputy commander for his repeated meritorious service. Although his predecessor was only a civilian, he had a sense of the development of the situation and the battlefield beyond everyone present, but he was not as intuitive as the Grand Knight of England, Barona.

And actually Jack. Fei Ye had always followed Barona as a deputy commander, and their grasp and acumen of the battlefield helped England win the final victory in several major battles to conquer Scotland.

William II said, "Jack, I know you are second only to Barona. Pendragon's brilliant leader. However, what do you mean when you just said that we may not know the forces behind those mysterious merchants? ”

Jack bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, how many forces are there in the British Isles now?" The Irish in the northwest, the Scots we conquered, the expeditionary forces of the Holy Roman Empire, the western ocean-going fleet of the French, and the League of English nobility led by His Majesty's brother. ”

"Needless to say, the Irish and the Scots, the Scots have been defeated by us, and the Irish are cowering on the island of Ireland and dare not come out, so there is nothing to be afraid of. As soon as the Prince of Ireland died, his four sons would begin to die miserably to each other, and we in England would not have to do anything at all. ”

Wilhelm II nodded and said, "That's true. So is it possible that the French and the Holy Roman Empire are behind it? ”

Jack said: "At first, the minister also thought so, could it be a deliberate move by the Holy Roman Empire or the French to prevent us from setting up a trap in their retreat after conquering the royal city of Pleon. However, if you think about it, this is simply not possible. ”

Wilhelm II asked, "Why are you so sure?" ”

Jack said, "Actually, I said it when the Grand Knight Captain Barona left. We in England are now war-torn, internally unstable, food shortage, and internal contradictions. It's like a disheveled woman standing in front of a group of wicked men, ready to be crushed from the outside or from the inside. ”

"Lady Barona believes that the immediate problem of our country is the food problem, and she has said that the first priority to calm the world is internal stability. However, after years of conquest in our country, the lower classes of the people have long been complaining of misery, and in the long run it will inevitably encounter a strong backlash, and then all the hardships will have to be borne by us English people. ”

In fact, Lord Barona was also worried that the food problem would be taken over by the Kingdom of France and the Holy Roman Empire. But then Barona decided that this was impossible. Jack took a breath and then continued: "Lord Barona thinks that with the current strength of the Kingdom of France and the Holy Roman Empire, they have been short of funds since organizing this expedition, especially now that the hundreds of thousands of Muslim armed forces in the Iberian Peninsula are dragging the whole of Europe, it is impossible for the French to have the spare strength and funds to buy our country's grain across the sea. The Holy Roman Empire was also held back by the Danes in the north, and their own domestic stability was not stable. ”

"The leader of the army sent by the Holy Roman Empire this time is the famous son of God, Alex, and the conflict between the new emperor of the Holy Roman Empire and Alex is well known and almost no secret in the aristocratic class. Therefore, it is impossible for the Holy Roman Empire to be the enemy of us English in this matter. Of course, if possible, the new emperor is expected to be able to take this opportunity to get rid of Alex, after all, Alex's reputation within the empire is too great, it can be said that if it weren't for the new emperor who has ascended the throne, it is really uncertain who will ascend the throne as king. ”

The hall was silent, and Wilhelm II, who was sitting on the throne, frowned slightly.

"So, what does Barona mean?"

"Yes." Jack bowed slightly in respect and said, "Get rid of the old forces on this island, as well as the outside forces. The only person who can do this in a short period of time and plan so carefully without revealing a single flaw is the man who has risen as fast as a legend, and now whether it is the British Isles, the European continent, or even the Iberian Peninsula, the king of Pleon has heard of his great name. Only he and his forces will have the opportunity and the funds to do this. ”

Bang dang !!

The hapless table had just been set up when it was once again overturned with one hand by a furious Kaiser Wilhelm II.

The guards next to them had helpless expressions on their faces.

"Is it another good thing that King Pullen did for no apparent reason?!"

"That's right, and it's because of this concern that Lord Barona has gone to the royal city of Pullon alone to investigate. Although it is dangerous, with the skills and abilities of the Grand Knight, the possibility of being detected is very small. And even if it is discovered, I want to be able to stop the person of the Grand Knight Captain in the entire city of Pleon - there is no way to save it! ”

Wilhelm II snorted coldly and said with anger on his face: "Of course! Barona is the Heavenly Protector of England, a mere Puron royal city, this damn lowly third-rate principality is not worthy of being compared to our Protector Knight! ”

"Exactly, Your Majesty!" Jack continued, "Now that the people of Pullen have taken the lead, I'm afraid they're raising a glass to the success of their plot. But we are not without a strategy, and we should not forget that even if our army cannot be dispatched. But the armies of the Holy Roman Empire had marched to the vicinity of York, and the naval fleet of the Kingdom of France had departed from the Channel of England, and should now have crossed the port of St. John, less than two days from the port city of Pandora, the royal city of Pleon. ”

"Also, here's a secret order from Lord Barona before leaving. said that once the situation she expected happened in the country, then she would do what she said. Although it may be too late, as long as the initiative is still in our hands, then we are in a position to be invincible. ”

With that, Jack pulled out a sealed straight tube from his arms.

The guard walked over and took it and handed it to Wilhelm II, who did not shy away from being there on the spot, so he opened the straight and pulled out the envelope inside.

Wilhelm II looked at the contents, his pupils dilated slightly, his nostrils began to breathe heavily, and beads of sweat gradually seeped from his forehead.

The others, including Jack, are you look at me, and I'll look at you and you don't know what's going on.

However, based on Jack's previous understanding of the Grand Knight, I am afraid that what was written in the letter must be a serious matter that would affect the foundation of the entire Kingdom of England!

Whoa!

After reading it, Wilhelm II jerked away the envelope with both hands, raised his head, and dilated the pupils of his eyes. "This ruthless King of Pullen...... Is it even a vain attempt to achieve the intention of destroying England from within by such means?! ”

After kicking the chair next to him violently, Wilhelm II roared with all his strength: "King of Pullen, you are delusional!!! ”

………………………………

At noon, the gates of London, which had been wide open, were suddenly closed.

The streets began to be cleared, and all residents had to register in front of the palace, while from today the city was only allowed to enter and not to go out. And at the same time, martial law began in London, and all food was concentrated, including the harbor of the back city.

All the soldiers and guards in the city were doubled, the guards of the city walls were increased, and the otherwise peaceful city of London was suddenly urgently stopped smoking, and there were literally more soldiers and guards patrolling the streets than passers-by.

All the spies and horses in the city were sent out, and they focused on patrolling the city and nearby towns for possible outcasts.

According to Baloan's predictions, the trade war between King Pullen and England is just one of their plans to subvert the whole of England from within, and it can even be said that this is just the beginning.

According to King Pullen's plan, when he had completed the first step, the second step was to begin to gather the outcasts, use the psychological tactics he was best at to induce, send soldiers and food to distribute to the poor, and then guide them in the direction of progress.
