Chapter 512: Treason

"The Northern Army will have a big move recently. This is the conclusion that Al came to after looking at the account books.

"Judging from that account book, the number of armaments of the Northern Army is jaw-dropping. It is impossible to assemble such a large number of armaments in a short period of time, it must have been prepared for a long time, even years. ”

"It's just that the North has been under the threat of the Dark Elves for a long time, and is it not normal to have sufficient armaments all the time?" Noyke asked.

"Indeed, it is normal to have a lot of armaments. But if so much armament included a large number of siege weapons and transport wagons, it would be abnormal. Al said.

"The account books record that the northern army purchased a large number of ox tendons and tooth wood, which were necessary materials for making trebuchets, ladders, and other siege weapons. There were also a large number of carriages, large enough to open a dozen carriage and horse shops. ”

"Just imagine, if it is just to defend against the attack of the dark elves, it should be more defensive equipment such as arrows, why should the northern army be equipped with so many offensive weapons? ”

"Indeed, if the Northern Army is really equipped with so many offensive weapons, it is not just a good look. You must know that even if these materials are stored, it will take a lot of work. Take so many beef tendons as an example, in order to maintain their toughness, they have to send special personnel to anoint and maintain them regularly, not to mention in a bitter cold place like the north, which is even more troublesome to store. Ollie agreed, as a soldier, he knew the truth.

"Exactly. Al nodded, "The Northern Army has stored so many offensive weapons, it must be for the sake of sending troops. But the question is, where are they going to attack?", said Al, holding out two fingers.

"There are only two possibilities, either the 100,000 Mountains further north, or the hinterland of the kingdom to the south. ”

"It can't be a hundred thousand mountains, in such lofty mountains, it is not easy to march alone, how can you bring these heavy siege weapons and carriages? Besides, these carriages are useless on the mountains. Ollie said immediately.

"That's what I think, besides, go deep into the 100,000 mountains and attack the dark elves? Al shook his head.

"Let's not mention that the 100,000 mountain demonic beasts are all over the place, and the road is difficult, even the logistics can't be guaranteed. Even if the Northern Army does whatever it takes to ensure the supply of food and grass, who can they attack? Have they already found the hiding place of the Dark Elves? Do they have a way to break into the lair of the Dark Elves?"

"There's so much uncertainty and so much risk that the slightest mistake can wipe it out. I don't think these high-level people in the North would make such a mistake. ”

"Hmph, even if you humans find it, we won't be afraid. ", the nightingale on the side said disdainfully.

Everyone else is used to it, but Noyke is still very uncomfortable. Who would have thought that the dark elves had already lurked in Eagle Castle, but it was a pity that those officials and masters could not be informed, otherwise it would be very funny to really want to see their expressions. ”

"Since attacking the Dark Elves is so unwise, there is only one possibility, and that is that the direction of the Northern Army's attack is to the south, the hinterland of the kingdom!" Al said.

"You're saying the Falcon family is going to be treasonous?", Noyke said in surprise.

"I can't think of anything else. Al spread his hands.

"It's just...... Young master, didn't this Falcon family swear allegiance to the royal family? If they broke their oath, wouldn't the name of this Falcon family become a laughing stock? I remember you said that the most important thing for a big family with a long history like this is its own honor. Ollie asked.

"Hmph, you're stupid, big man. Haven't you humans always been like this? I remember that in your current Violet Dynasty, the slogan of the Grievous family when they first raised their troops was not to restore the glory of the hero king? In the end, let alone restore the glory of others, they simply replaced them directly, and no one took those oaths seriously for a long time. The nightingale snorted softly and retorted.

Al and Noyke were a little embarrassed, and the soldiers of Ollie and the others probably didn't know much about this history. However, because of their identities, Al and Noyke know more than ordinary people.

After the bloodline of the Tulip family was cut off, the government was once controlled by the big families represented by the Blood Rose family. And the slogan of Grievous I of the Violet family when he raised his army was to restore the glory of the heroic king. The bloodline of the so-called Tulip family has not been broken, but it has only been lost in the world, and the reason why the Violet family raised an army is to overthrow the rule of these great nobles and return the government to the descendants of the hero king.

It's just that after defeating the Blood Rose family and seizing this world, everyone forgot this slogan. Looking for the descendants of the Hero King? Everyone treated it as if nothing had happened, and over time, no one talked about it anymore.

Now that this black history has been turned over by the nightingale, Al and Noyc, who are humans, are naturally very embarrassed. Al coughed twice and digressed the subject, "An oath is an oath, and few people can resist the temptation of the throne. ”

Time will slowly erase people's memories, and if the Falcon family really governs properly, allowing people to live and work in peace and contentment, and live a good life, no one will remember their past when they broke their oath. ”

"You're right, a mere oath can't stop the Falcon family's ambitions. "But there is news from the City of Radiance that Count Reinhardt is married to Princess Sophia. Even if Duke Reinhardt didn't care about this marriage, he even used it as a smoke screen, a trick to confuse Grievous the Great. But Count Reinhardt is still in the city of Shenghui, is it possible that the count's personal safety is not in the Duke's care?"

"You must know that the Duke has only such a son, and like you, Young Master, Count Reinhardt is the only heir of the Falcon family, the entire northern realm. ”

"What's more, even if you really want to commit treason, how can the Northern Army solve the Northern Army of the Kingdom on the border? If you are really dragged by the Northern Army, the probability of the Northern Border wanting to win is quite low. ”

"You're right, but since there is such a possibility, we must deal with it as soon as possible, so as not to be caught off guard by then. Al sighed, "If the Falcon family is really treasonous, it will really be a chaotic situation in the world." ”

"In any case, I should rush back to the West as soon as possible. ", Al said with determination.
