072 Behind the Conspiracy

Seeing this strange scene in front of him, Duke was a little surprised and asked, "What is this?"

In the face of Duke's inquiry, Gandalf replied in a gloomy tone before: "This is the Naga Commander we captured when we went to the hydroelectric factory last night, and we got the news from his mouth that the Sea Clan's attack last night was not accidental, but a conspiracy!"

Naga Commanders?No wonder Gandalf and Hera were not seen when Duke led his troops to support last night. Not to mention Hera, the witch, Gandalf, as the chief magician of Storm Castle, should have some strength on his thickest thighs, but the shadow is gone.

Duke was in an emergency situation at that time, and he didn't care so much, but he didn't expect that the two of them had already passed over, and they had captured all the Naga leaders of the Sea Clan.

"What the hell is going on?"

Duke naturally knew that things could not be so coincidental, and he just said that there was a conspiracy, so who would be the instigator of this conspiracy against himself?

"The Sea Clan's attack last night was because a human gave them confidential information, as long as the Storm Fort can be captured, then the Fran Empire will give up the entire Storm Fort territory, and this place will become a stronghold of the Sea Clan on the mainland. ”

In fact, Duke also vaguely understood this news in his heart, that is, Stormcastle would become an outcast of the French Empire. It's just that the reason why they gave up was the army of monsters, but they didn't expect that the Sea Clan actually got the news and wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob and occupy Storm Castle to become their stronghold on the mainland.

Is this treating Stormcastle as fat? Everybody wants a bite?

"Who is the person who revealed this news?" Duke asked coldly, there was no doubt that this person should be the top of the French Empire, and he wanted to kill Storm Castle!

"Your second brother, Viscount Traucer. ”

When Hera said the name, the expression on Duke's face was stunned, this kind of fratricidal drama in his impression before only existed in TV series and novels, and it really played out on himself, and it came so quickly.

Duke wasn't stupid enough to ask why, because the answer was obvious, that is, his development in Stormcastle had begun to stabilize his position as a lord from a straw bale before, threatening his second brother's ambitions.

And Duke can imagine that this previous image of a straw bag will make the second brother so unscrupulous to take the lead, if it is the genius big brother Baker as the lord, Teucer will definitely not dare to do this.

"Little Duke, now you understand why you want to fight for the duke's position, unless you are willing to nest in the imperial capital to be the gentleman who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, once you show your talent and ability, you have to fight!"

Hera said this with a smile on her face, and Duke even felt an indescribable excitement in her tone. Perhaps Teucer began to act towards himself, which is also a situation that Hera would like to see, because only when Duke stands in a higher position and has greater rights can he better protect the witches of the continent.

Duke didn't answer Hera's words, but said lightly: "I know about this matter, first put the Naga commander in the dungeon, and ask them if they have any plans for the next step." ”

Unlike Hera's excitement, Gandalf nodded with satisfaction and said, "Little one, you are more calm than I expected, and you have the appearance of a big man." ”

Although Gandalf is a member of the Dark Witch Society, he is more like he wants to stand on the opposite side of the Holy See, so he is friends with the enemies of his enemies, but in fact, he is not very close to the Dark Witch Society. So he said this more from Duke's point of view, and he had gradually positioned himself as a member of Duke's family.

After saying this, Gandalf and Hera led the soldiers to the dungeon under the Naga leader. When she left, Hera looked at Duke and smiled mysteriously, she was absolutely confident, Duke would definitely choose to fight, because this guy is not the kind of person who goes against the grain.

Knowing everything behind this, Duke has nothing to do for the time being, because Teucer's fiefdom, Maple Leaf City, is within the Duchy of Berry, and there are several pro-kingdoms and duchy fiefdoms between it and Storm Castle. Not to mention that the difference in strength can be beaten, there is no good way for Duke to do it just because of this distance factor.

Teucer is almost the same problem, so he will contact the Sea Clan to make trouble, it seems that he wants to take revenge, and he needs to know more about the Maple Leaf Country, and think about it in the long run.

After the questioning, Duke did not stay in the hall, but rushed to the direction of the church in the city as soon as possible. Because last night Duke had already ordered the forcible requisition of the church in Kasmai to be used as a temporary hospital.

If it were changed to before, it is estimated that there are also lords on this continent who dare to occupy a place like a church, but now it is different, the bishop of Kasmai has become his own person, what is it to forcibly occupy a church. If it weren't for the sake of concealment, Duke would have planned to tear down this church and occupy such a large piece of land in the best position in the city, and it would be much more useful to build something else.

Just by reaching the door of the church, Duke heard a groan of pain and a faint smell of blood coming from inside, where most of the wounded who had been rescued from the hydroelectric plant last night had been placed.

Duke walked inside, where hundreds of beds were already placed, and the witches, the priests, and the doctors of Copernicus and Vesarius were already taking care of the wounded. It's just that Duke saw dozens of beds that had been covered with white cloths, which still showed the cruelty of medical backwardness in this era.

Basically, the treatment depends on hard resistance, and if the injury is serious or the physical fitness is not good, then it is basically in a stage of waiting for death. It can be said that although Storm Castle is very backward, it is not lagging behind the average level of the mainland in terms of medical care, at least it is impossible for other territories to gather priests, witches, and doctors together like Duke.

Seeing Duke coming, Copernicus first came over to report the situation: "Lord Lord, there are too many wounded, the magic power of the witches and priests has been exhausted, and there are even two young witches who faint because of the exhaustion of their magic power. But there were still a lot of seriously wounded soldiers who died, and I am sorry for that. ”

"Copernicus, you've done a good job, don't be sorry. If I want to say sorry, I should also apologize as a lord, because it is my responsibility to save them. ”

While Duke was chatting with Copernicus, Castle Masme came out of nowhere, and said to Duke with a sad face: "Viscount Duke, I am here in the church, have you ever seen a church on the mainland where so many wounded people lie in?"

"What do you want to express?" Now that Carsmail is in the same boat as himself, Duke is not as polite as before.

"This is a place where gods are worshipped, and I can't accept this place being turned into a hospital!"

"Come on, now go and ask the Holy See if they still think you are a devout believer?
