Chapter 221: Go all out
"Is that alright, Marshal?" Constance Dante asked with a smile on his face. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The nobles looked at the young man nervously, although Consdante's experience could never be compared with that of these princes. But it was definitely not an idle person for Cons-Dante to be able to sit in Novgorod and make the Rus' who had been so badly injured in the battle at Lake Chud re-emerge. Even if they didn't understand the significance of Consit's Dante's actions at this time, these nobles couldn't just ignore it.
Even if Marshal Mauser deliberately ignored Constance Dante, these nobles did not have this qualification, and after all, they could only look down on this pagan monarch behind their backs, but they did not dare to make a mistake in such a formal place.
But there were still people who set their sights on a few princes, hoping to get a little bit of instructions from there.
However, they were disappointed, and saw that the princes were still sitting calmly in their places, without even looking at them, as if they were none of their business.
And Marshal Mauser only said lightly: "Since you want this, I have no reason to stop it, please take care of yourself!" ”
This statement was undoubtedly extremely disappointing, and several princes did not deter this arrogant young man at all, and the nobles naturally could not accept it. But it is true that Constance Dante is not something they can compete with. The existence of being able to control the ancient mecha, even if he is not a true superior, this kind of power is enough to make everyone fearful. In recent years, many of the Polish nobility have been knights, even if they cannot be compared with the traditional aristocracy, but they have also made people very afraid of these nouveau riche.
For example, the Duke Regent -
Poland chose to ally with Lithuania not because of the need for Lithuanian power, but in fact a pagan state in the old era made Poland unable to fully digest and consumed its strength. But the Lithuanians' affinity for mechs made the Poles tempted, and they didn't even have to be worse than the Prussians, but Poland did not have the power of the Holy Roman Empire to directly annex, and the Holy See also turned its attention to the far north, so the Poles had to choose to unite with the Lithuanians.
It is conceivable that the existence of ancient mecha has had an impact on Poland, and in the past twenty years, it is no longer a joke that the mecha knight has ascended to the sky in one step.
And Cons Dante even claims to be able to control the ancient mecha, this kind of existence, you can imagine how terrifying the power it contains will be.
Most of the nobles did not yet understand the true attitude of the kingdom towards Novgorod, and therefore the nobles had to be careful with it.
Seeing Constance Dante raise his glass, the other nobles had to raise their glasses and look at the young man in front of them, most of the people present were older than him, but they had to admit that this young man was not an existence that could be taken lightly.
And even then unmoved?
Constance Dante frowned slightly without showing a trace, and then returned to normal. He still didn't know the details of the other party, although the Poles were already ill-intentioned, but it was still impossible to lure himself over and blatantly kill this stupid thing of making a wedding dress for others.
What is certain is that the Poles must now be preparing for a plan to get rid of themselves without leaving a trace.
Since the other party does not move, then Cons Dante can only throw stones to find the way.
"You also know that I am the guardian of Princess Bonifazia, and as the heir to the kingdom, I hope that you will be able to serve her as much as she is to Her Majesty Adevicia." Constance Dante said without changing his face, but as soon as these words came out, all the nobles changed color.
Conseidante's as Bonifazia's guardian is only limited to a part of the people, and there are still many nobles who are kept in the dark, even if there are rumors, they are only half-convinced, and at this time, when they heard Consda Dante admit it himself, it was naturally an uproar.
They could not accept that the guardian of Her Royal Highness the Princess of their own country was a foreign monarch.
Although this is not a strange thing, after all, during the New Roman Empire, there was also an emperor who served as the guardian of the emperor by the Sassanid Persian Emperor, even though there were many wars between the Sassanid and the New Roman Empire. But there was a fundamental reason, and that was to stabilize the position of the young monarch by using the power of Sassanid power to deter the country.
But a mere Novgorod did not have such qualifications, and they could not accept the fact that a heretic had become the guardian of the successor of their country.
What's more, Consdante's words clearly have a hint of encroachment on Polish power, which further exacerbates the Polish scheme.
Even Bershis, who was next to Constance Dante, was stunned, shocked by Constance Dante's actions. This is a bit too arrogant. Did Cons Dante still think that he didn't have enough enemies?
However, at this moment, Marshal Mauser glanced up at Constance Dante faintly and said: "Your Royal Highness, this is a Polish matter after all, is it too much for you to mention." ”
Although it was just this sentence, the nobles were relieved, it was a substantial warning.
But Constance Dante shook his head as if he didn't care, "I'm only standing as Bernia's guardian, so why is it appropriate to say this?" His every word was like a provocation, but the princes still didn't say much, but the nobles below were indignant.
Not only the Polish aristocracy, but also the officers, many of whom were of the Lithuanian faction, were a little restless.
"Cons, Dante-kun, if you are the guardian, is it a little redundant for me, the father, to still be here......" The iron-like man asked in a low voice, exhaling a puff of green smoke, he had been smoking since just now, not caring at all that the nobles were all at the table, this man's style of acting was indeed diametrically opposed to his appearance.
But Constance Dante still kept smiling, and said with an unchanged face: "Even so, I'm not without rights, am I? ”
"It's too early to talk about the heir, and although Bonifazia is the daughter of me and His Majesty Jadwiga, just because she is eligible to inherit does not mean that the next king of Poland will necessarily be her. The crown of a king is too heavy for a child. I just heard Jagieworth say lightly.
The hall fell silent again. From the beginning of the banquet to the present, Constance Dante has said a few words in total, and every sentence does not sound to the ear. And the same is true of the Grand Duke of Jagieil, a man who has always had such ambitions for the kingdom, but in the presence of Consdante, the nobles could not show this dissatisfaction, but the officers, especially the Lithuanian ones, nodded one after another.
"It's because it's so heavy, so I feel the need to remove some of the obstacles! As Bernia's father, shouldn't you do the same? I think His Majesty Jadwiga hoped the same when he entrusted the princess. ”
The tense atmosphere was like a volcano that would erupt over time, and even Bonifazia was shocked by the fact that the usually silent Constance Dante had become sharp-tongued today.
Cons Dante's every word was like a scorch exploding in everyone's ears.
"Is pride enough?" Someone stood up, "It's just that you just bluffed the group of barbarians in the east by driving a mecha, do you think this can really be lawless!" You're not the only one who is a knight here, not to mention whether you're qualified to compare with us! ”
Consité Dante turned his head to look at the man who was speaking ill of him. The man was about thirty years old, burly and strong, with eagle-like eyes that ordinary people would not dare to look at him. He wore a black military uniform and appeared to be a young officer in Poland.
It turns out that the officers here also have knightly backgrounds, obviously the nobles are very rejecting these military talents, Constance Dante didn't pay attention to it before, and after seeing a few other officers, Constance Dante can almost see that those people are indeed knights.
"Proud......" Constance, Dante glanced at the other party and ignored the other party.
"Xiang Krievich, in our Knights, he is already the youngest mecha knight in the area, and of course, his strength should not be underestimated." Grand Duke Jagieworth said lightly, "In my hands, he has fought head-on with the Teutonic Knights, and he has really killed the main knights of the Teutonic Knights, although the elite on Lake Chud is not comparable, but he is also the veteran existence of the Teutonic Knights."
But as soon as these words came out, many people were shaken and looked at the knight with different eyes.
The Teutonic knights of the senator level, this is not an ordinary person, Consitine Dante completely annihilated the elite of the Teutonic Knights on Lake Chud, but the person in command was Alexander Neussky, and even Novgorod admitted that Consitor Dante only killed the head of the Teutonic Knights in the end.
It is not difficult to kill, and the fact that the puppet is angry and blood is splattered does not show how good Cons Dante is. As for the ancient mecha, more people are still skeptical.
"Oh, yes, that seems to be the elite of the kingdom!" Constance Dante said in surprise, but more like ignoring the other party.
And this success infuriated Xiang Krivich.
"I heard that Novgorod made the Grand Duke the shield and sword of Novgorod? But in my opinion, there is really no need to be proud of this kind of title! What can those barbarians who have never seen the world say? There was bitter sarcasm in Xiang Krievic's words.
"Oh? You are saying that Novgorod, who defeated and exterminated the Teutonic Knights, is a barbarian, so where did you place the Teutonic Knights? De Keyat, who finally couldn't help it, couldn't help but retort that he felt the existence of discrimination from the beginning.
"The defeat is like this, but if it is destroyed, many people should not think so, this Excellency, it is indeed you who defeated the Teutonic Knights for the first time, but it is we who bring those people to their knees. The Teutonic Knights are no longer qualified to survive now," Jagieworth said, extinguishing the cigarette in his hand, and said with a smile, "I am afraid that the fierce battle of Tannenberg is not inferior to yours. ”
"Are you not convinced?" Berchis asked.
"Of course it's hard to be convinced," he said, holding his head up to Krivich, "arm the pretentious boy to the teeth, and he will still be killed on the battlefield in the end, because it is not him who defeated the Teutonic Knights on the frozen lake, and he will not be able to serve a false king?" ”
"Puppet King...... Is it? Cizer whispered, while Bonifazia looked at Constance Dante worriedly.
"Then why not challenge Constance Dante? Anyway, it doesn't hurt to watch some entertainment programs during meals. Suddenly, the Marquis of Polka looked at Marshal Mauser and asked, then at Constance Dante in front of him, "As the [Knight King] of Novgorod, why don't you let us open our eyes?" Although Poland has been catching up in recent years, it is still too bad compared to Western countries. It's better to let you give me a lot of advice. Have a question to Krivich Knights? ”
"Of course I'm fine!" Taking a step towards Krivić, his burly body seemed to burst out, "Does the [Knight King] of Novgorod have the courage to accept my challenge?" ”
There was already laughter at the feast. Only a fool like Novgorod would casually take out the title of knight king.
Now it was time for Marshal Mauser to make a statement, and everyone looked at the old man and waited for his statement.
"What do you think?" Mauser looked at Jagiewo, and to Krivich was his man.
"It's up to you!" Jagieworth did not object, in fact he agreed.
Xiang Krivich is a loyal subordinate, but not smart enough, but he has satisfied everyone no matter how he stands.
It's time to get to the bottom of the Grand Duke.
This is the Polish palace, and if Constance Dante agrees, he must attend, and it doesn't matter if he kills Kriwicz when the time comes, there is no dispute at all. Novgorod is obviously not easy to stir up the crowd either!
But Constance Dante frowned slightly, if the other party wanted to use this method to take his own life, it would be too ridiculous!
Berchis also looked solemn, and he hoped that Consy Dante would refuse. Refusing the other party's challenge, he can at least get out of the summer palace safely, even if the parents do not want to kill him but test him, it is very unfavorable to Constance Dante, at this time only by making the other party unable to figure it out can he be safe.
Xiang Krivić was the one who participated in the tragic Tannenburg, and he was also older than Consdé Dante, so he was inferior in combat experience, and he was by no means a small character.
And Bonifazia also looked at Constance Dante nervously, and said with a smile: "Uncle Constance Dante, don't go, that's them playing tricks......"
Even this kid could feel the smell of conspiracy.
"You don't have to do this for me at all."
"You're right, I don't have to take any chances, Bernia......" said Constance Dante softly.
The girl was stunned and looked at the man in front of her, what did Constance Dante want to do?
"But it's worth it and it's necessary." He turned slowly, picked up the gloves in his hand, and threw them at Xiang Krievich across the long dining table.
It was a definite challenge between knights, if one threw their gloves at the other while the other picked them up. Then the duel was established, and although it was a set that began to rise in the West, it was already popular in many regions.
Naturally, Krivich knew, and he slowly bent down and picked up the pair of gloves. He stared into Constance Dante's eyes, "I know you may be a so-called gifted knight, but what I want to tell you is that the true king is born in the killing. ”
"Do you mean to be at the pinnacle of kings?" Constance Dante raised his eyebrows and said softly, "Of course I know that, because that's how I've been there." (To be continued.) )
