"The land here must be fertile next year—"

Standing outside the barracks, Magnus covered his nose, trying to ignore the stench that filled the air, and said to Odegar beside him with a bitter face. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Odegar was in a trance, looking at the busy scene in front of him in a daze, and didn't say a word.

It was the smell, the dirty soldiers, the dirty horses, and the droppings that could be seen everywhere and would step on them if you were not careful, and there was chaos, but in the chaos there was laughter and singing, and this was the scene he was familiar with, the military career he had experienced with the former king Harold in England.

If this battle is won, Magnus will be able to dominate Brittany, and the future plan for restoration will become more and more promising, and it is because of this that Odegar will touch the scene.

In addition, because of Magnus's promise to Philip yesterday, it is equivalent to that they have been pulled to the prince's warship, and they will be both prosperous and lost, and a stable ally will be in their hands, and they will no longer have to worry about being stabbed in the back.

The first step towards the restoration of the country has been completed for the most part.

However, there is only one place, and not only Odega, but Magnus also does not understand.

Why is Philip in such a hurry, it can even be said that he can't wait to include Magnus in Langzhong.

The cooperation between King Louis VII of France and Magnus, well, now Magnus knows that Louis has some thoughts about pitting him, but allies, how can they be called allies if they don't pit each other?

On the whole, there is no fundamental conflict between Magnus and Louis, on the contrary, they are working together quite happily, in other words, they are currently in a honeymoon period.

But Philip understands that although Magnus will not turn his face with Louis on the spot, the mustard in his heart must be indispensable, Louis is the patriarch of the Capet family, but Philip is also a member of the Capet family, Philip does this, so he doesn't worry about Magnus leaving Germany?

That's what Magnus couldn't figure out.

If you want to say it's a seizure of power, it's not good at all! Louis had a son on Philip, and when Louis died, what was he not Philip's? Besides, Philip can't wait, he is only fourteen this year, even if he boils, he can also boil Louis to death, there is really no need to make dangerous moves, and risk splitting Magnus.

However, if Magnus had been more concerned about the situation in France, perhaps he would not have been so confused.

- As mentioned earlier, Louis felt that he was not feeling well and his life was short, and in order to avoid difficulties that might occur earlier in the future, he planned to pass the throne to Philip in advance.

Philip inherited the throne and became king, thus inheriting Louis's former allies.

Two allies, one is his uncle, and the other is his father-in-law.

When Louis was in power, he could still rely on the prestige of his thirty years of reign to suppress them, so that they did not dare to mess around; But as soon as Philip came to power, he was young and had no prestige, as the saying goes, the lord is young and bullied, if Louis is healthy, he can still help Philip resist one or two, and it will not be a big deal when Philip has enough prestige, but now it is a question of whether Louis can survive this year.

This is the secret of the Capet family, but now it is not a big deal to say it, Louis contracted typhoid fever last winter, although he survived like a miracle, but his vitality is greatly damaged, people are getting older and older, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that his life is running out.

Therefore, Philip needed a foreign aid, and now he sold a favor to Magnus in order to obtain this foreign aid, so as not to have a foreign relative's power disorder in the future.

Another one, also because Philip is young, young and vigorous, plus he is talented, he is not like Louis, he can be a turtle with a shrunken head for thirty years, and endure for thirty years. Alexander the Great was a king in his twenties, and at the age of thirty he had already established a huge territory, which was an example for Philip to follow.

In Brittany, Philip had already identified Magnus's talents, and if Magnus could be included in the ranks, then Philip felt that he was one step closer to the Emperor, which is why he seemed so impatient.

This is something that belongs only to young people, some arrogant, some arrogant, but full of careful thinking about the future, and it is really not enough to be humane to outsiders.

After all, who knows if he will succeed? Dreams are the first step to success, aren't they?

The words are divided into two ends, in the county of the Count of Brest, the court where the Count of Brest is located, although it is not said that the building is about to fall, but the atmosphere is also solemn and gloomy.

As General Dugan disdained before, although they had prepared in advance and recruited peasant soldiers, they were still inferior to the combined forces of Magnus and Dugan in absolute strength.

The Earl had already turned gray with his hair and had not come up with a solution.

However, there is a turning point at the moment, and it could also be a trap for the enemy.

"Hmph...... How can I trust you? ”

"I'm just a messenger, of course the Earl doesn't need to believe me, but if the Earl doesn't believe me, then whether I can see the Earl at this time next year is a matter of two words."

"You're ......!"

Hearing the messenger say this, some of the knights standing on both sides of the line immediately wanted to rush out to show their loyalty, but they were frightened back by the earl's look.

As a usurper of the throne, although the management of the Wenchen system is a mess, and even many people have secretly taken refuge in Kurt, but for the 'Wu' who has established his life, the earl has always looked very closely.

After all, as long as there is martial arts, he is not worried about others usurping his position, and even if he is besieged this time, he only thinks that his own martial arts are not enough.

"Even if I don't have your help! I've been operating in Brest for 20 years, and I'm still afraid of a hairy boy?! ”

Just as the thugs had to say something cruel before they fought, the Count of Brest said a cruel word first, and suddenly the speed of his speech became rapid and fast, and his voice was soft, and he saw the knight beside him, if it weren't for the fact that he had been with him all the year round, he would almost have wondered if the Count himself was sitting there.

"But you've got to tell me who's behind you, right? Even if you can't say it explicitly, you have to give some hints, otherwise I will never be able to believe you even if I am defeated. ”

This was reasonable, and the Messenger, after a moment's consideration, spoke:

"I can't say the identity of the master, but I can give you a hint that my master belongs to the faction of the Dharma King, and the status is only under one person, and finally, I can tell you that even within the same faction, the members of the faction are not united."

The messenger's words were rather vague, and the knights on the side thought he was talking nonsense, but the count was overjoyed.

He understood, or rather, he thought he understood.

The faction of the Dharma King, the status of the noble is only under one person, and the highest status in the faction of the Dharma King is of course the Dharma King, so who is the second noble?

Of course, the Earl of Mann, or Philip's father-in-law, the Earl of Flanders.

- The reason why there is no Philip, and Dugan, who has a heavy army, is because Philip is a prince, and in the Middle Ages, princes have always been not very valued until they inherit the throne, and Dugan, after all, is only a knight, a baron, not a real nobleman.

The nobles only had nobles in their eyes, and the Earl felt that if he could remember Dugan's name, he would already be worthy of his gratitude.

To get back to the point, since the messenger had been sent by these two counts, or one of them, the Count of Brest thought he had nothing to worry about.

Why? Well, to use a simple analogy, this is like a harem competition for favor, the original emperor (Louis) favored the two concubines (allies) and was already a little powerless, and now I don't know where to kill a beautiful Zhen Huan (Magnus), the emperor not only likes her, but also gave her a gift (sent troops), which has to make the two concubines feel restless.

As the saying goes, there is nothing new under the sun, although the harem competition for favor is a little smaller in terms of pattern, but carefully analyzing the means in it, it is inevitable that there are some similarities with the affairs of the soldiers.

In this way, the messenger did not tell a lie, but in turn he misled the count in a completely different direction, and if Magnus was here, he should also sigh that Philip had a capable man.

Looking at the Count of Brest again, his face was blue and pale at this time, his expression was uncertain, and the color of struggle appeared on his face, obviously hesitating whether to send troops.

If the army is dispatched, if what this person says is true, then this is a godsend, and a large number of the enemy's war horses have diarrhea and fall to the ground, which directly abolish the enemy cavalry he is most afraid of! If there is a chance to win this battle, it is all in this moment, this is the only chance!

But if you go out of the city to fight, it is equivalent to giving up the castle with high walls and thick walls, and everything is easy to say if you win, but if you lose, then there is no chance to start again.

Seeing that the Count was lost in thought, neither the knight nor the messenger spoke, and the task given to the messenger by Philip had been completed, and the next step was to obey the destiny of heaven.

However, both Philip and the Courier underestimated a flaw in the character of the Count of Brest, and that was that the Count was essentially a gambler.

Twenty years ago, the former Count of Brest had just died, and the current Count dared to launch a coup d'état, forcibly driving the rightful heir Cotter to the monastery and taking power alone.

Twenty years ago, I won a bet, and now it is not impossible to win again, even if I lose, it is just a return to the starting point, and I have enjoyed twenty years of wealth, which is enough!

Thinking like this, the Earl suddenly felt empty of countless chaotic thoughts in his head, his brain was clearer than ever, and when he opened his eyes, the color of struggle had long since disappeared, and was replaced by ruthlessness and desperate madness:

"Pass the order! Open the vault door and give all the soldiers weapons! Let the knights, and their squires, get on their horses! Let's take a gamble! ”
