The next day, White left the camp with an army of 30,000 and went to regain lost territory and completely isolate the city of Meihe.

Inside the United Tent.

"The losses are too great, I don't agree. Pete shook his head and said.

Previously, Norman proposed to storm the city of Plum River. What Norman said is not unreasonable, with absolute strength, then crush the past in a dignified manner, and do not give the other party any chance to turn over.

Moreover, in the relatively difficult siege battle, he was able to establish a higher prestige in the second brigade, and then perfectly completed the task assigned to him by Prince Charlie.

But Pete was adamantly opposed. Pete clearly knew that in the siege battle, the Holy Knights would definitely be able to avoid losses to the minimum by relying on their higher personal strength, while the army under his command would inevitably suffer heavy losses.

Different from the early Restoration Army, the current Restoration Army is all Pete's hard work, and it is the elite obtained after sacrificing 100,000 nobles' private army, and it is the foundation of the future Meihe Principality!

Pete is not confused, he will definitely not propose to let the Paladins attack the city alone in order to avoid losses. Annoyed with the Kingdom of Willant, the small body of the Principality of Meihe is really unbearable.

All of a sudden, everyone in the tent stared at each other, and the pins could be heard.

"Ahem...... Childe, do you remember that secret passage?" said Marquis Bard, and Pete was stunned.

yes, why didn't I think of that? Hearing Bard's prompt, Pete instantly remembered some of the secrets his father had told him.

Calvin suddenly frowned and said, "I've heard of that secret passage too. I remember that the Duke once said that the secret passage could only escape from inside the city to outside the city, and I had never heard of it being able to enter from the outside. ”

Pete smiled, "Yes, but I need a key!" and this key happens to be here." ”

......

The current Grand Duke of Meihe, that is, Tony, who was brought to the front desk by the Dawning Church as a puppet, was lying bored in the Grand Duke's mansion, sipping every sip of wine.

"Hmm...... If you do the math, the eldest brother should have already led the troops back, but I don't know if he can still remember the secret passage. ”

"What kind of routine is this Dawn Church, the previous plan, I think it's very good, safe, stable, and most importantly, mutually beneficial, why did it suddenly become like this. ”

Tony scratched his head, wondering why the Church of Dawn was so wise and stupid.

"Forget it, I don't want to, what the hell, I have to take our Meihe Principality with me when I'm crazy. That Murphy, it's not easy to deal with......"

Suddenly, Tony's ears moved slightly, and then he stopped talking to himself and listened intently, and finally he was overjoyed, and walked quickly to a bookshelf, and pulled out an arm-thick iron rod in the dark, pressed a button, and threw the iron rod aside.

I just heard the sound of "click, click" endlessly, and saw the bookshelf slowly sinking.

......

Murphy was happy with the puppet he was propping. Since Tony was forcibly pressed into the position of Grand Duke of Meihe by Murphy, Tony has almost never left the Grand Duke's mansion, nor has he had any private meetings with other powerful ministers and nobles. According to the feedback from the people who arranged it in the Grand Duke's mansion, Grand Duke Tony reads books every day, summons some dancers to have fun, and the rest ...... No, if you have to have it, then all that's left is sleep.

Even when Murphy led troops to suppress the remnants of the Duchy of Meihe, and even returned to Meihe City in embarrassment in the end, Tony did not have any abnormal reaction.

Slowly, Murphy relaxed his surveillance of the Grand Duke's mansion.

......

The Grand Duke's Mansion was so large that it hid as many as five hundred people, and no one noticed anything unusual.

After seeing Pete, Tony was very happy, to be honest, Tony was unwilling to inherit the position of Grand Duke of Meihe from the bottom of his heart, not to mention being a puppet, even if it was a real Grand Duke of Meihe, Tony was not interested.

If his brother Pete succeeds in recovering the country, then he can immediately throw off this burden completely and pursue excellence wholeheartedly.

However, after hearing Pete and Pan's plan, looking at these people in front of him, Tony's eyes flashed with doubt.

"Brother, although everything is going well with you, you even pressed Murphy back to Meihe City. But you seem to have overlooked a very important part of your plan! You know, when things get to the point you expected, Murphy will definitely take action. Regardless of Murphy, his personal strength is definitely not something that a few of us can compete with. ”

"It's going to take your cooperation, Tony. When I left for Versailles, you hinted to me that there might be trouble in the Duchy. Now, it is true, and my father was even killed. I believe that your current strength is strong enough. Pete didn't care about the five members of the Sails mercenary group in the room, "Can your astrology affect Murphy!"

Hearing this, the copper hammer, who didn't know what the astrologer was, was still bored and expressionless.

Sidon, who knew a little about the name astrologer, was only slightly surprised, and he didn't expect to see an incomparably rare profession on the mainland.

Sails, Zittay and Nivea, who knew the origin of the astrologer, looked shocked.

For the knowledge of astrologers, Sails comes from many years of mercenary career and Walter, the god of the sea, to the prophet Star. The astrologers known during the mercenary career are too deified and not very credible. The understanding from Walter, the god of the sea, is more general.

Since Nivea was born on Mage Island, the lineage of the goddess Memnon has never been interrupted, so the records of astrologers are very rich. But in the past, Nivea was quite perfunctory about learning, and she didn't read many classics, but she knew that the profession of astrologer was very powerful, so powerful that she was strangled by all the forces on the mainland!

Zitai and Nivea are different. Qi Tai, who has received the Starr inheritance, can be said to be the person who knows the profession of astrologer the best, and there is no one in the world. It can be said that Tony is the first astrologer Zitai has met in this world, and of course, Stara does not count.

Qi Tai knew that Starr was divided into three levels of normal astrologers, corresponding to three gradually increasing abilities, namely: foresight, usurpation, and change of life.

Looking at the young astrologer Grand Duke in front of him with interest, Qi Tai said in his heart, not knowing what level this person belonged to. If it's purely a foresight, although it's better than nothing, it's almost useless for your own side to snipe Murphy in a battle, and at least you have to reach the usurper level to slightly affect the battle situation.
