Mashas is running around for the affairs of Tegler, in Reims, the central city of Nemaitakum, a territory near the royal capital.

The ruler of the realm was named Tenardiye, a duke who was quickly called a tyrannical duke.

Tenardier is about to turn forty-two, but he wasn't like that ten years ago. Ten years earlier, Tenardier had won a horse battle organized by the king, and he had come to prominence.

Then he entered the court to show extraordinary means of negotiation, and in a short period of time, Brunay had an amazing development, and he also made great achievements on the battlefield.

Gradually began to be blinded by self-confidence, brutal and unkind, and wantonly played with human life for fun.

Between Tenardiye's exploits, no nobleman dared to contradict him, and then ten years of development, which made Tenardier a truly feared existence, and even the king could not fool Tenardier's words. As a result, Tenardiye's brutal governance continues to this day.

Tenardiye's ambitions have never been restrained, the Duke can no longer satisfy his ambitions, and his goal is the king who sits on the throne!

Tenardier was inextricably linked to the royal family, his wife was the king's cousin, and in the absence of any siblings of King I, his wife had the greatest right to sit on the throne.

But there is a nobleman like him on the other side, and that nobleman is named Ganglon, and Brunay has three points in the world, one of which is his.

Duke Ganglon's brother-in-law is the king's cousin, according to the rules, Tenardiye has an absolute advantage, but the throne can only be inherited by men, so Ganglon is qualified to win with Tenardier even if he has an older sister.

On this day, a nobleman came to the mansion of Tenardier, and after a sumptuous lunch at the table, the nobleman said: "Lord Duke Tenardier, have you heard of the Count of Warune, who was captured by Gistadt, and that Mashas has recently been trying to figure out a way for the ransom of the Count of Warune?"

Tenardier thought about the name, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt how it was so familiar, and suddenly he remembered it.

"Do you mean the nobleman who is good at making bows?"

"That's right, it's Count Volune," the nobleman chimed in.

"The Count of Volune's domain is Alsace, and now there is no lord, and now there are many nobles in Brunet who have chosen to be neutral, if the Duke of Tenardiye you help another captured nobleman pay the ransom, what will the other nobles think.

What we need most is vassal nobles so that we can have the greatest advantage in this battle...... The psychology of those nobles is nothing more than to wait and see, and the Duke of Tenardier will let those nobles know now that you will not give up any of your nobles who are vassals of you, so that many nobles will be willingly attached to it."

Tenardier had a servant bring a copy of Brunay's map and place it on the table.

"Alsace is just a small place, surrounded by mountains and forests, and there is not much food to produce," Tenardier said disdainfully after finding Alsace in the corner on the map.

The nobleman shook his head and pointed with his finger at the place marked the Verge Mountains: "Alsace and Gistadt are only separated by a mountain range, and if Brunay falls into civil strife, there is no guarantee that Gistadt will not take the opportunity to rob my territory."

"Greastre, you're making too much of a fuss, this kind of place for my son Zion to lead a team of men and horses to level the ground," Tenardier said nonchalantly to pacify the whole of Arthas.

Alsace was also inhabited by thousands of people, and Tenardiye's words meant to be exterminated.

Greastre still reminded: "Lord Duke Tenardier, you will chill many nobles who originally wanted to be attached to it."

As he spoke, Gréaste felt a sense of fear in his heart for the terrible slaughter of thousands of civilians.

"Humph! It's just a bunch of wall grass, and I don't need dogs like those nobles," Tenardier snorted dissatisfiedly.

"And what Count Vorun, after being captured by the enemy, not only did not take a few soldiers to accompany him to the funeral, but also became a prisoner with peace of mind, and our army will be defeated only if there are such people"

Seeing that Tenardier was determined to set foot on Arthas, Gréaste did not say anything against it, so that even if he was Tenardier's henchman, he might be executed.

Greastre left the room, and Tenardier called his son, Zion.

"Father, you're looking for me," Zion said respectfully.

Every time he stayed with his father, Zion felt a strong palpitation, and he wanted to turn around and leave the room.

But on the other side was his father, the Duke of Tenardier, who was known for his brutality, and Zion did not dare to do that.

"I want you to do something for me," Tenardier said, pointing to Arthas on the map, "Arthas, the domain of the Count of Volune, I want you to lead three thousand soldiers and horses to level this place."

You can burn Arthas to the bare and sell the men into slavery in M'Ogener, and there will be beautiful women in it, and you can do whatever you want."

Zion's heart beat unnaturally when he heard that Arthas was actually the territory of that Tigler.

He remembered that Dinant had been insulted by the people around Tegler, especially the girl, who looked at him as much as he had now been in the same room as his father.

This feeling of humiliation made Zion feel particularly uncomfortable, and in the days after Dinant returned, he smashed everything in the room that could be smashed. Now hearing that his father was going to let him lead his troops and horses to level Arthas, and let Tegler watch his territory burned down, he couldn't help but feel a sense of joy in his heart.

Zion was not carried away by this feeling, but asked his father: "Is it too much to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses, Alsace is just a remote countryman"

Tenardier looked at the map with a sneer, his purpose was not only for Arthas, but also to show his strength to the surrounding nobles.

He can send 3,000 soldiers to one Alsace, and the same is true for other territories, and his means is to suppress everything with force.

"The layout of the soldiers and horses ......"

Tenardiye thought for a moment and said, "Take a thousand cavalry and five hundred archers, and use infantry for the rest."

Zion finally lowered his voice and asked as he left, "How is Your Majesty now?"

"It's still the same as then, when you get the news of the prince's death, you lock yourself in your room alone, and no one can see each other"

Zion hurriedly exited the suffocating room after receiving the order, and he was terrified in the face of his cold-blooded father.

Moreover, he heard that Prince Gurenas's death was also caused by his father and the Duke of Gunlon, which made Zion even more afraid of his father.

Although Zion was as interested in abusing the commoners as Tenardier, he still had an aristocratic instinct for submission, and his heart trembled at his father, Tenardier, a terrifying figure who transcended the distinction between kings and ministers.
