Chapter Eighty-Nine: High Society

Although Count Don Jr. said it very nicely, and even the knight of Alcoba could be lame, many times many things can be done without words. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

It's like now.

"Come on, good nephew, let me introduce you, this is Cessna, Count of Osoruny, and this is Consebar, the first heir of the count, although he is still a teenager, he is praised by everyone, young and promising!"

Count Don stiffened, and let Archduke Mulchid pull him around, introducing him to the nobles of 'high society' and their families, and Archduke Mulchid was talking and laughing there, and Count Don could only smile and nod his head.

It was in the Earldom of North Munster, in Benlati Castle, that all the Earls of Ireland had gathered to discuss how to deal with the threat of King William, and the place where they met was naturally the Archduke of Mulchid, who had recently become more and more famous.

That's right, although it is said that the Archduke of Mulched suffered a big loss in Desmond, but in the end they are still a family with the Earl of Little Tang, and recently there have been rumors that the Grand Duke intends to pass the entire Duchy of Munster to the Earl of Little Tang, which makes most of the nobles regard the Earl of Little Tang and the Archduke of Mulchid as one heart, and the Grand Duke is originally a person with strong diplomatic skills, and now he has been supported by the 'strongest' Earl of Little Tang in Ireland, and his prestige has been strengthened more and more.

In the same way, the nobles also knew that the Earl of Don Jr. was the 'strongest' man in Ireland and was destined to inherit the position of Grand Duke in the future, so although the Earl of Don Jr. showed some lack of interest, the nobles still did not dare to slack off.

"Where, where, it's all the Grand Duke's lift, and the dog is not worth mentioning compared to the Earl of Donchester, it's not worth mentioning at all!"

The Count of Sennar waved his hand again and again, smiled humbly, and then raised his wine glass to Count Don Jr. and drank it all, but Count Don Jr. had no choice but to raise his glass and drink the wine in the glass.

At the same time, Conschabal, who was not yet an adult, looked at the little Earl Tang curiously, for this earl who has sprung up in Ireland in the past two years, whether it is military and economic, and even faintly has a first-person title, young people, always worship heroes, and now it is obvious that the little Earl Tang is the most in line with the standards of these young heroes.

Sensing the young man's curious and adoring gaze, the young Count Tang smiled gently at him - although he could still be regarded as a teenager in terms of age, no nobleman would ever look at him as a teenager anymore.

Moreover, compared to the other nobles, Count Osoruni is obviously much more mixed here.

Although it may be a little disrespectful to the earl to say this, but thanks to the difficulty of the earl's heir, he has only one son, and no daughter, if he is around other earls, then all kinds of earls who promote their own daughters will make the little Earl Tang completely unbearable......

And the Grand Duke of Murchid will not stop it, and will be happy to see it.

Why block? This is a good thing - to form a family with another nobleman in Ireland, which will be of great help to the future Earl of Don Jr. to be promoted to Duke of Don, or even to be promoted to king, besides, in this era when even the nobility is precarious, leaving an heir early is the most important thing, such as the underage Consebar, you don't look at the underage Consebar, but there must have been a lot of women, maybe even illegitimate children.

But Little Count Tang really can't bear it!

As I said before, even in Paris, the fashion capital of the sixteenth century, the nobles of the upper class had to step on high heels to prevent the filth of the streets from staining their skirts, and the descendants of these nobles would still look like this hundreds of years later, let alone these nobles now, although they were dressed up one by one - wearing a colorful flower dress, they could be called fancy flowers, but the smell of their bodies, and the black teeth that would show out of their mouths, Without getting close to Earl Tang, he was already three feet away.

Count Don Jr. is not a stallion in heat, even if you kill him, he will not sleep with such a woman.

After all, although everyone is on the island of Ireland, it is troublesome to go out these days, even if there is no big thing between nobles, they will not be in touch, and it is rare to gather together, and it is not good to talk about how to do it.

But there is a limit to what you can talk about, and only when the joyful atmosphere has dissipated will the really serious issues be brought to the table.

"Our Northern Earls Alliance can send a total of 3,000 troops, which is already our limit, after all, we still have to defend against the Scots further north, and it is impossible to press all the soldiers."

The Northern Earls Alliance, namely the Earls of Oriel, the Earls of Tylon, the Earls of Tilconte, and the Earls of Ulster, the four Earls have the threat of the Duke of Connaught in the north, and the Scottish army in the south, so they have always advanced and retreated together, and slowly formed an alliance.

As for the leader of this alliance, it is generally changed every three years, and everyone takes turns, but once the war starts, it will be Connall, the Earl of Ulster, who has the strongest ability to command the army, who will serve as the leader, and now it is Count Connor who is speaking.

Grand Duke Mulchid and Duke Ed glanced at each other, and then nodded, the four Earls Alliance can already be said to have a bloody capital to come up with this force, and it is impossible to ask for more.

"I've suffered a lot of losses in Desmond before, that's something everyone knows, so this time I can only send a maximum of 1,600 troops."

Duke Ed's face was as usual, and he said in a rather calm tone, but when he said this, all the counts naturally focused their eyes on Count Xiao Tang, and Count Xiao Tang was quite embarrassed.

"And then I, Mercechna, Earl of Kildel, I can send a thousand and one hundred men."

"Sennar, Count of Osoruni, send 1,200 troops."

"Kopil, Earl of Leinster, send a thousand troops."

The counts reported all the troops they could use one by one in order from north to south, and it can be seen that the counts did their best this time, and they didn't hide their secrets, and they estimated that they even took out their wives.

Then it was the Grand Duke of Murchid who spoke apologetically, and then said, "I am similar to Duke Ed, and I have also suffered a great loss in Desmond, so this time I can only send fifteen hundred troops at most."

Then everyone just stared at Count Don Jr.

"This ...... May I ask, why on earth are we fighting for the Duchy of Dehebas? ”

Little Count Tang stared at everyone's gaze, raised his hand cautiously, and asked questions like a good student.

Then everyone seemed to see a fool.

The protection of the Duchy of Dehebas, of course, is not because of the relationship between father and son that the knight of Alcobar told the Earl of Don Jr., in fact, so many years have passed, and how much affection has disappeared, but the protection of the Duchy of Dehebas is the basis for protecting Ireland from invasion.

The Duchy of Dehebas was England's springboard to Ireland.

For this reason alone, it is worth the Irish nobles to do their best to protect the Duchy of Dehebas from the invasion of King William, after all, how King William seized the throne of England during the Norman invasion ten years ago, these nobles have a clear view.

With such an aggressive, capable, and daring king, the nobles of Ireland have long raised their vigilance to the maximum, in order to prevent King William from invading Ireland one day, and then dispensing all their titles to their generals.

Although in real history, it was Henry II, the son of King William's grandson, who completed the great conquest of Ireland......

PS: This chapter may be a bit boring, because it's time to start a national war, and you need to introduce the strength background of the warring sides.
