Chapter 36: On the Sovereign
A burst of blood splattered from the necromancer's skull, but to Lu En's surprise, a pale black film appeared on the surface of the necromancer's body, and he was not killed by Lu En's sword.
"Alright, let's die with pain." Lu En said this coldly, and then stepped forward and pierced the necromancer's abdomen with another sword.
Click, click, click.
The sound of bones and sticks falling apart echoed from Rathard Castle and the grassland outside the city, only to see the undead army that was still fighting frantically just now, and at the moment when the dead souls were linked, they all fell to the ground in an instant, and all of them perished.
Lu En looked up at the sun in the sky, which had not yet reached noon.
……………… Gorgeous dividing line..................
Castle of Lachard.
The nobles brought the pork, bread, and wine they ate into the castle, and they thought that the battle would last for a few days, but what Lu En was doing now completely convinced them.
However, the fly in the ointment was that these nobles did not find good food in Castle Lachat, only the necromancer's black bread, which of course was thrown away in the end.
After Abric and the nobles sat down, he raised his wine, looked at Lu En not far away, and said, "Yes, Lu En, your tactics are very successful, we are all shocked by your tactics, just now we were still discussing how to kill the Red Duke and let his army collapse on its own." ”
"We have decided, just follow the strategy you proposed earlier, you are responsible for luring the Red Duke out of Musillon, and when we have a decisive battle with the Red Duke of Musilon, you will infiltrate Musilon Castle and save Princess Estheron."
Instead of sitting in his chair and drinking, Lu En walked directly to the center of the hall and said, "Actually, I want one thing, and that is the county of Musillon. ”
As soon as these words came out, many nobles were shocked by Lu En's words at the moment, and it was the first time they had encountered such a young man in front of them who didn't know the height of the sky.
Alboric said with a dark face: "Young man, after this battle, you will get a castle and become a baron, but the county, you don't have to count on it. ”
Lu En said lightly: "This is not a whim of mine, but actually a conclusion that I have come to after careful consideration. ”
Many nobles didn't speak, they used to think that their appetite was big enough, but they didn't expect that this kid in front of him who didn't have any hair grew had a bigger appetite than them.
If this kid is an earl himself, or a duke, such a wish is still valid, but this kid was an ordinary person not long ago, where did he get the political capital to ask for such a sky-high price.
Alboric said coldly: "You can fight, and I can't canonize you as an earl!" ”
"In Bretonnia, you are all at the top of this kingdom, and you must admit that the king is a very wise king, not only brave, but also blessed by the goddess of the lake, recognized by the ancient horned eagles, and even more proficient in the law by the sword of Cologne.
Every time Lauin Leo Cornwall did justice for the poor, he was praised by ordinary farmers, and some even said that King Laune Leo Cornwall was the most outstanding talent since Bretonnia, except for the founding king Gilles.
Not only does he maintain good relations with the Sigmar Empire, but even the Wood Elves, who usually don't deal with each other, have a peace treaty, and are even willing to open trade routes with the High Elves.
Therefore, he is your enemy, and everyone must kill him. ”
As soon as these words came out, many nobles present let out a burst of reprimands, and even Alborik, who had been sitting in the chief, fell silent with a dark face.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Raune Leo Cornwall did not follow you to Musiron, on the surface it seems that he is going to annihilate the greenskins and beastmen entrenched in the mountains, but on a deeper level, it is not without your intentions."
Lu continued: "Then since the king is going to die, then Princess Estrida must hold it in our hands, the king has three children, the eldest prince is now in Cologne, Princess Estrida is imprisoned in Musiron, and the last little princess is being held hostage in the empire. ”
"No matter how you look at it, we must have Princess Estria, otherwise we will not be able to seize the lead in the next political turmoil."
The commotion of the surrounding nobles stopped, and they all looked at Lu En in the hall, their eyes were full of inexplicable emotions, obviously this represented one thing, if Lu En didn't give them a reasonable explanation, then Lu En would die.
Lu En smiled: "But you, have you ever thought about your future, nobles have no future." When the king tried to interfere with the rule of law in the realms of other nobles, did you ever wonder what would come next, taxes, or military power?
If every time the kingdom tries to centralize power, every aristocracy rebels and succeeds, but there will always be a failure, what will happen next?
It's quite a passive thing. ”
But Lu En said this, and Albertique, who was sitting on the other side, asked: "Then according to your opinion, how to do it, centralization of power can increase the strength of the country, but it will reduce our strength." ”
Lu En said lightly: "War, only war can show our strength, and it is not for nothing that Gilles, the founding monarch of Bretonnia, chose feudalism at the beginning, because it can gather the war potential of every piece of land." ”
"We have fed a huge army that far exceeds the Imperial army at a very low price, and the brave knights far exceed the elite Imperial knights of the Empire.
Bretonnia must follow the path of the people of Bretonnia themselves, and as long as we reopen the Knights of the Round Table in Cologne, then all problems will not be problems.
Therefore, we must get Her Royal Highness Princess Estria. ”
After saying this, Lu En looked at Alboric not far away, and he said calmly: "Catherine must also become the next Grand Priest of the Fairy of the Lake, as long as we want, we can, right?" ”
Alborick nodded quietly.
Lu En continued: "I am the guardian knight of Her Royal Highness Princess Estria, and if Your Excellency makes me Count of Musillon, then I will fight for Bretonnia until the last moment. ”
Alboric nodded and said, "I agree with your strategic plan, but ...... As you say, you must be the Guardian Knight of Her Royal Highness Princess Estria, and then you can be the Count of Musillon. ”
"If Princess Estella dies, it proves that you are not qualified to be the Earl of Musillon." Alboric said lightly.
