On the eve of the decisive battle, the army of the Duke of Bavaria, who had rushed back from the Duchy of Franconia, finally returned to Mingxing City.

Duke Otto of Bavaria (he happens to have the same name as His Majesty the Emperor, and in order to avoid confusion, he will henceforth be called Duke), father of Eleanor, Ludwig and Henry, was a middle-aged man of nearly fifty years of age, with a slender build, a majestic beard, and an outstanding temperament. In a big aristocratic family, he is a relatively rare beautiful man.

But he was more fond of his obsession with the culture of Cyris, a duke who was fluent in the Cyris language, loved literature, sculpture and film, and was very tolerant of Orthodox culture and transcendents in the principality under his rule.

At the main entrance to the Weissbach Palace, Ludwig, Henry, Elisabeth and Eleanor were already waiting to meet their father.

"Hmm." In response to the children's greetings, the Duke nodded, his gaze falling on Eleanor.

"Hehe~" Eleanor knew that she was in a weak position, and hurriedly hugged her father's arm and coquettishly.

"You've been out for so long, and you still know how to come back?" The Duke said lightly, as if dissatisfied, but the shaky beard betrayed his pleasure.

"I went to Constantinople, Olympia and Sparta, and I brought back gifts for my father." Eleanor hurriedly came up with a killer idea.

"Oh?" The Duke's eyes lit up.

"Ahem!" Ludwig coughed and reminded his father that there were a lot of people here, so let's go inside.

Walking all the way to the study on the top floor, the Duke sat down in his chair and said lightly:

"Tell me, what do you think of the Wolf family envoys?"

Although the question was "you", Elizabeth and Eleanor both knew that it was actually their father's desire to test the abilities of the eldest and second brothers, so they kept silent in their mouths.

"I think this knight fight." Without thinking, Henry blurted out, "It's probably because the Wolf family isn't sure about our high-end prowess, so they brought up this game to test it." ”

"If we lose all three battles, then the morale of the knights below will naturally be seriously affected; In order to avoid this ending, we will definitely have to use the extraordinary combat power in the family, so its ability sequence and combat habits, these important information will be exposed in the battle. ”

"Then in the next war, the Wolf family will deploy and respond to our extraordinary combat power based on this information."

"Hmm." After listening to his conclusion, the duke said, "Through knight fighting, trying to test our family's high-end combat power? ”

"Yes."

"So, on the other hand, if they send people to participate in the fight, won't it also expose their extraordinary combat power?" The Duke asked with a smile.

"But they're asking for foreign help...... Henry said.

"Can't we please?" The Duke asked.

Henry was speechless, in fact, the Weissbach family also invited foreign aid, so the trial of this statement is not valid.

"I think the knight fight might just be a fuse." Ludwig said.

"Go on." The Duke said.

"Convey to the outside world the signal that the high-end strength of my Weissbach family is insufficient." Ludwig said in a deep voice, "Of course, it is not just for the sake of our knights, but also to tempt and provoke the ambitions of some rebel forces. ”

"Just before that, there had been a number of Tabor attacks on innocent citizens in the city, indicating that these Hussites in the country are ready to move, and it is likely that they are preparing to do evil in the near future."

"Once at this time, the men we sent lose in the knight fight, then it will greatly encourage the Hussites in the city, and make them overestimate our family's high-end combat power, so as to blindly start a rebellion."

"As long as a rebellion occurs, it will inevitably seriously weaken the military power within our principality, and create more suitable conditions for the subsequent invasion of the Wolf family."

Hearing the eldest brother say this, even Elizabeth and Eleanor were a little discolored.

"I see!" Henry immediately said, "Maybe these Hussite rebellions were all instigated in advance by the Wolf family!" I'm going to kill their envoys!" ”

"Quiet, Henry." The Duke said lightly, "In that case, Ludwig, how do you think you can deal with their schemes?" ”

"Be prepared for both." Ludwig analyzed, "For knight fighting, we have to win beautifully, and we can't show any weakness; As for the Hussites in the city, we need to send troops to clean them up as soon as possible, and show that we have the strength to fight a two-front war at the same time, and we can suppress the turmoil at home and resist foreign aggression, so that we can deter the small and make our enemies dare not act rashly. ”

"Hmm." The Duke nodded noncommittally, "That's a good point, you go back and think about it." ”

Ludwig was a little confused, "go back and think about it", that is, my father did not agree with his conclusion, was there something wrong with me?

"It's not just Ludwig and Henry." The Duke looked at his two daughters, "Elizabeth and Eleanor, you can think about it too. If you are a duchess and you encounter a similar situation in the feudal country, how should you deal with it? ”

Elizabeth gave an elegant wry smile that clearly said "how do I know", while Eleanor touched her chin and thought seriously.

……

Can't think of it.

In fact, Eleanor still agrees with the conclusion of her eldest brother Ludwig, feeling that this is a long-planned turmoil in which foreign enemies collude with internal thieves.

After all, the Tapol faction was in turmoil everywhere in front, and even she and Aske were attacked, and the envoys of the Wolf family on the back foot were late, and they also proposed to do some kind of knightly fighting, and the timing was too clever.

If you don't agree, it seems that the Weissbach family is afraid and will affect the morale of the subordinates; agreed, and always felt that the other party had some conspiracy, so he could only be cautious...... Could it be that the Wolf family had colluded with the Hussites to start a rebellion on the day of the knightly fight?

While the knights were watching the fighting at the competition site outside the city, they took advantage of the emptiness of the garrison in the city to launch a rebellion and capture Mingxing City?

Eleanor was shocked at the thought of this. Whether it's true or not, if there is such a possibility, I have to remind my father quickly!

She hurriedly turned and walked towards the study, and before she had taken a few steps, she suddenly stopped again.

Wait, I don't rush to conclusions, why don't I ask the magical Asker?

The head of the regiment has always been cunning and cunning, and he has not yet known the prophet, so he may have seen through the truth of the matter a long time ago, and is waiting for me to ask him!

Then Eleanor turned around again, and walked briskly towards the group.

For some reason, as long as she thought of the presence of the head of the regiment, she was still worried just now, and the doubts and gloom in her heart were immediately swept away.
