Chapter Ninety-Eight: I don't know what the title is
Since the last time Will and Sauron joined forces to defeat the encirclement of the aristocratic Lambards, Will's confidence has grown, and with the help of Joseph, he has gradually agitated many surrounding towns and villages. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info these people had Will's example, and they had long been dissatisfied with the harsh rule of the aristocracy, so they joined Will's rebel army one after another.
Later, with the help of Joseph's material intelligence, Will led the rebellious civilians to sweep the surrounding area of the Tuscan territory, and then snowballed in strength and strength. In the end, it also gathered into an army of thousands of people.
In the face of such a huge rebellious strength, the Lambert family naturally did not have the strength to quell the rebellion, so they could only retreat in the Tuscan fort, waiting for the rescue of the aristocratic coalition. However, now that the Kingdom of Rollin is too busy to take care of itself, and all the nobles of all sizes have the feeling that they have planted trees and fallen apart, who will come to their rescue.
Joseph saw this and launched a propaganda offensive with all his might, exaggerating the weakness and incompetence of the Lambert family and the crisis situation in the kingdom of Lorraine. At the same time, the disguised laissez-faire of the Lambert family also boosted the morale of the rebels, and also made many commoners living under the rule of the aristocracy begin to stir. Originally, some people were still trembling, worried about the suppression of the nobles, but now after confirming the loss of power of the nobles, they suddenly became emboldened. More people want to join Will's rebel army. At the same time, Will also intensified his efforts to annex several minor nobles on the periphery.
When Joseph sent the news, Will was besieging Fort Tuscany with a large army. As soon as the Tuscan fort fell, the Tuscan lords could no longer afford to resist. It's equivalent to helping Eren solve an important threat.
"Therefore, public opinion warfare and information warfare were very important tactics even in the Middle Ages." Alan said. He handed the report to Elizabeth and instructed: "Send a message to Joseph and tell him that he is doing a good job, but do not be proud, sum up the experience and find problems." If North Rollin can take it down, wait for him to come back and give him a promotion! β
Xu felt Allen's excitement, and Elizabeth also smiled and said, "Yes!" β
Allen, who was in a good mood, looked at the slim Elizabeth beside him, and suddenly found that this originally weak aristocratic lady had now become his important assistant, and it had really changed a lot in just one year. I couldn't help but sigh: "Elizabeth, these days have really hurt you." Let a girl run around with me, and participate in a bloody and cruel war. Originally, you were supposed to be a fragrant powder float, a carefree aristocratic lady. And your father because of meγγγγγ β
"The Duke doesn't have to be like this!" Elizabeth interrupted Alan, "Now I understand how stupid Elizabeth was in the first place, who enjoyed the popularity of everyone and indulged in those illusory knightly novels. Although the world is difficult, it has also made me no longer weak. Elizabeth was me, and Elizabeth is still me. It's my own choice and I don't regret it. β
Looking at Elizabeth's determined gaze, Alan suddenly felt a trace of emotion, and a trace of relief that the girl next door had just grown up.
"Elizabeth ... You're good, you're such a strong kid. But I don't know if your sister will cry when she sees you now? Or will you laugh? β
"Lord Duke! I'm not a kid anymore! β
Elizabeth unconsciously pursed her lips and said coquettishly, her crisp voice was like a yellow oriole singing gracefully, her beautiful eyebrows were curved into a touching arc, and her blue eyes seemed to have become an unfathomable whirlpool, wanting to suck all the people who looked at her into her heart, and the smile at the corner of her mouth was so pure and innocent, just like an angel who was smiling!
The strength of the previous moment suddenly turned into sweet sugar water, drenching Allen on his head and covering his face, and he was almost killed by the appearance of this little woman. This! This is a girl flower season that seems to be familiar but not familiar, seems to understand or not, seems to be mature but is actually young, and the cuteness and charm are brought to the extreme! Alan kept roaring in the bottom of his heart. His heart, which had almost dried up in this impoverished world, was given a new lease of life in an instant. Yes! Praise you! My God, I can still watch such a beautiful scene. Thank you! My God! Saved my aesthetic again!
"Lord Duke?" Elizabeth looked at Allen, whose eyes suddenly reddened, suspiciously, and she didn't understand what a great merit she had just done.
Alan calmed down, raised his hands tremblingly, and stroked Elizabeth's flamboyant blonde hair under her horrified gaze. Feeling the softness and smoothness of the palm, Alan breathed a sigh of relief.
And Elizabeth was like a frightened fawn, and her snow-white little face turned red. "Ahh Screamed and fled.
Looking at Elizabeth's shy and fleeing figure, Alan just showed the lewd smile that a qualified pervert should have.
"This little girl is really beautiful, and the country and the people are in trouble!"
"Ahem! Cough! β
A slight cough suddenly rang out behind Allen. Eren was instantly agitated, and his right hand was quickly grasped on the hilt of the sword, almost about to be withdrawn. A voice stopped him: "Lord Duke, it's me, John." β
The horror in Allen's heart suddenly turned into anger, but he suppressed it well. Turning around, he looked at John, who was standing behind him, and said word by word, "Have you magicians never learned etiquette?" β
John bowed his head and saluted, "I beg your pardon for being rude." β
"Without further ado, what are you here for?"
Seeing that Allen's tone was not good, John also knew that he had come at the wrong time, so he saluted sideways again: "First of all, I wish the Duke a successful capture of Roland City, I believe that after the fall of Roland, the resistance in various places will be reduced, and the Duke will be in charge of Roland just around the corner." β
Hum! Alan snorted lightly and did not comment.
John could only continue: "However, I would like to remind the Duke that there are highland barbarians in Rollinsi, remnants led by Renard in the south, Moslian Empire in the north, and even the nobles of the Ammuxi Kingdom in the east, who are mostly not kind to you. β
"So what do you mean..."
"I am familiar with all kinds of information and customs of Lorraine, and I have also dealt with Renard and the barbarians, and I hope that the Duke can give me a chance to make a contribution to the Duke." John saluted again, three times in succession, almost destroying the mystery and pride of the magician he had always maintained.
Alan frowned, very awkward about John's performance now. Originally, he was still a mysterious magician who looked like a master, and his words were full of arrogance that could control the situation on the continent and control the life and death of the kingdom. Why is it that now it seems to have become a utilitarian appearance, and he is so keen on official position and power? Impossible.
"What the hell are you going to do? You did all this, and you persuaded George to want me to surrender, are you just trying to work for me? β
"I understand that the Duke has doubts, please listen to my explanation. I am an astrologer, and the will of the stars guides me. Years ago, Xingchen told me that the continent was about to undergo unprecedented changes. Only by finding the chosen one can humanity find a way out. Over the years, I've searched around the mainland for the chosen one, but I haven't found it. I thought His Majesty George was, but unfortunately he was vulnerable in front of the Duke. β
"So you think I'm the chosen one? Do you want to help me save humanity? Alan scoffed contemptuously.
"That's right."
Damn the guy, he couldn't speak clearly, and he clearly didn't say his true intentions. If he really wants to fulfill the will of the stars, then he is a god. If not, then there are other deeper reasons. Alan never thought that John, who was so scheming, was a fanatical god. Then the result is obvious.
"It's not impossible for you to enter my court, but there is one condition."
"Your Excellency, Duke, please." Hearing Alan's relief, John was overjoyed.
"Go to the Academy of Athens for a year, and then graduate, and I will let you enter my court."
"This..." John was stunned at first, then angry. "Don't you believe in my knowledge? When I was in the Rollin court, I was also the prime minister of a country, and I governed Rollin in an orderly manner! Also, please don't forget, Lord Duke, I'm a magician! β
As if to prove his strength, John stretched out his right hand, and a little starlight gathered above the palm of his right hand, but in a few breaths, a hot fireball was born in his hand. This scorching fireball could feel its heat even if Alan was two meters away, and if it fell to the ground, it would not only cause a fire, but even the marble floor would not be able to stop its power.
However, Alan was sure that John didn't dare to do anything to himself, and asked indifferently, "So what?" Do you know how many stars there are in the sky? Do you know why the sun rises in the east and sets in the west? Do you know why apples fall when they ripen instead of flying into the sky? β
"I... I.... All this is the law of nature, the will of the stars! John was momentarily speechless.
"Humph! Ascribe your ignorance to the will of the stars, and the stars will be ashamed if they have a believer like you! β
"Do you mean, everyone at the Academy of Athens knows all this?" John asked, incredulous.
Alan didn't answer, he took out a piece of parchment from his desk, wrote something quickly, then removed the ring, and stamped his coat of arms at the end. After folding it twice, he handed it to John and said, "It's up to you whether you go or not." β
John stared at Alan twice, his unwillingness Alan clearly felt it, but he didn't take back the parchment that he handed out.
The two were at a standoff for a moment.
After a long time, John still took the parchment in Alan's hand and said calmly: "After a year, I hope you will fulfill your promise." (To be continued.) )
