Chapter Seventy-Six: Night Attack
"Are you so sure that the Rhine Kingdom will definitely be on the side of Ness Cuomo?" Hearing Count Sacco's words, Count Lacey's face was quite ugly, but he couldn't see anything unusual in the gloomy environment, but Count Sacco had already heard a trace of hesitation in Count Lacey's tone.

"Haha!!
"Oh, I don't know what's funny, or does Count Sacco know something...... Please don't hesitate to give me advice!!" Although Count Sacco seemed to be sarcastic about his expectations for the Rhine Kingdom, Archduke Lacey also heard what Count Sacco said, so he waited quietly without anger.
"Grand Duke Lacey, you should know that Ness Cuomo studied in the Rhine Kingdom for a while, right?" said Count Sacco, with a change of face.
"Yes, Ness returned to the Duchy of Como after her father's death!!" Archduke Lacey nodded in agreement.
"Do you know the relationship between Ewing Jones and Ness Cuomo?" asked Count Sacco again.
"Why, is there any special relationship between them?" asked Archduke Reis, bewildered.
"Of course, the two of them were already classmates and roommates when they were at the Root Academy in the Rhine Kingdom, and Ness Cuomo's special hobbies have a more intimate relationship between them, of course you know what I'm referring to, it is precisely because of Nes Cuomo that Ewing Jones got married and had children after Ness Cuomo returned home, and I don't know how sure Archduke Reis is that he can win Ewing Jones over. At the end of the day, Count Sacco had a playful look on his face, and Archduke Lacey was silent for a long time.
"How do you know so much about what is going on between Ewing Jones and Ness Cuomo?" asked Archduke Reis, who had been silent for a long time.
"Because I caught up with Ewing Jones's brother Doug Jones a year ago, it has long been an open secret that the two brothers and sisters in the Jones family are at odds. In order to inherit the position of the Grand Duke of Elk, Doug Jones sent someone to assassinate the Ewing Jones family, resulting in the tragic death of Ewing Jones's husband. So we had to seek external help, and at this time, our spies in the Rhine Kingdom tried a little, and they were taken as a life-saving straw and clung to it. ”
"Huh!!, are you Norman spies really everywhere?" said Archduke Reis, sneering.
"Heh!!" Count Sacco chuckled, noncommittal to the sarcasm of Archduke Reis.
Just before Ewing Jones set off from the Kingdom of the Rhine, Doug Jones spied on a major secret of the Kingdom of the Rhine, which was enough to be the last straw that would break his life. Originally, as a nobleman of the Rhine Kingdom, especially a descendant of Shaun Jones, he should not betray the core interests of his country, especially the interests of his own family. However, Doug Jones heard that the upper will of the Rhine Kingdom, especially the Elk Grand Duke Sean Jones personally promised Ewing Jones that as long as Ewing Jones can help Ness Cuomo sit on the throne of the Grand Duke and let the Duchy of Cuomo join the alliance of the Rhine Kingdom, the next Elk Grand Duke will be Ewing Jones, and the family will not interfere in the grievances between the two siblings Ewing Jones and Doug Jones. ”
"Once Ewing Jones is allowed to sit on the throne of the Grand Duke of the Jones family, without the intervention of the family, the fate of Doug Jones can be imagined, for his sister's means, Doug Jones is deeply understood, so this gives us an opportunity to take advantage of, of course, this is just a transaction, we both take what we need. ”
"Hmph!!Deal?, that's a good word, I'm afraid he will cry when he gets on your thief ship in the future!!," said Archduke Reis, who was angry and sneered again.
"You agreed to solve the threat of Ewing Jones for him, and Doug revealed more confidential information about the Rhine Kingdom to you, in exchange? I didn't expect that Old Sean was wise I, and in the end I didn't know that he was cheated by his grandson, haha!!" I don't know if Grand Duke Lacey is sorry for Old Sean or is gloating.
"Having said so much, I have already revealed everything that should be revealed, and even told you the arrangement in the Rhine Kingdom, which is enough to see our sincerity, I wonder if Archduke Lacey has decided?"
"Hmph!!If I refuse now, I'm afraid I won't be facing the Rhine Kingdom, I'm afraid I'll have to add your Norman Kingdom, right?" Archduke Lacey listened to Count Sacco's words, and said very dissatisfied, but there was nothing to do, neither the Rhine Kingdom nor the Norman Kingdom could compete with the Duchy of Como, everyone was fine with each other before, but now the two countries suddenly became ready to move, and the first to be unlucky were some small countries around.
In the case that the Rhine Kingdom took the lead in choosing Ness Cuomo, in order to ensure his own interests, Archduke Reis had no choice in the face of the olive branch thrown by the Norman Kingdom.
"Haha!!! Grand Duke Reis is too worried, you will still be the de facto ruler of the Duchy of Como at that time, and this will never change. Count Sacco heard the meaning of Archduke Reis's words, and was immediately overjoyed, and comforted him with a smile.
Hearing the words promised by Count Sacco, Archduke Reis's face softened slightly, and the current alliance between Count Sacco and Count Sacco began to mumble and discuss, and it was a new exchange of words, and the two fought for their own interests, and sometimes they would never back down even if they blushed and had a thick neck......
While the Grand Duke of Lacey and Count Sacco were discussing in the study, Marquis Ness and Ewing came out of the Red Keep and turned onto a straight and wide street, but the whole street was dark because the moon was obscured by clouds tonight.
"Ness, get in the carriage, I have something to ask you!!" Suddenly Ewing's voice rang out from the carriage. Marquis Ness, who was riding on the horse, was a little surprised, and her beautiful eyes turned, as if she had thought of something, and Marquis Ness also dismounted very simply and came to the carriage, only to find that little Rick had fallen asleep with Ewing's arm in his arms.
"I have an extremely bad feeling when I see Count Sacco suddenly appear tonight, as if what we are plotting has been known to him!! At first, I thought that he had left the Duchy of Como, but I did not expect that he was actually in the Red Keep, and he was still involved with the grandson of the Grand Duke of Reis, what kind of conspiracy was there, or did it mean that the Grand Duke of Rey had agreed to form an alliance with the Norman Kingdom. Ewing immediately spoke out what he feared in his heart, and his brow furrowed, as if he was very worried.
"If that's the case, then we're going to have to change the plan we made in the first place, and the risk will be even greater. After what I have just done, my conflict with Reis Cuomo has been completely made public, and it is time for these nobles to start taking sides, how Reis Cuomo took the dukeship from my father in the first place, and how am I going to snatch it back from his hands now. Marquis Ness listened to Ewing's words, thought for a moment, and said in a cold tone.
Just when Marquis Ness's phoenix face was full of anger and gritted his teeth, suddenly the sound of "whooshing" breaking through the air sounded urgently.
"Enemy attack!!" a hurried shout came out of Hans Jesus's mouth, and the cross sword at his waist flashed in a flash of cold light, and then with one hand, Hans jumped high from his horse and rushed towards the carriage where the Marquis of Ness was.
"Jingle bell" A dense collision sounded, and the Hans knight danced the cross sword in his hand without splashing the water, and no matter the arrows shot at the carriage from that side, they were all stopped by the cross sword shadow in his hand. However, because the attack came too suddenly, before the guards at the front had time to dodge, they were shot down by a sudden rain of arrows, and they suffered heavy losses in an instant.
"Bang!bang!!" Hans's face changed dramatically, and with Hans's many years of experience serving in the city defense of Oise City and the Marquis of Nice's bodyguard, he instantly judged that the two sounds that came just now were bed crossbows that only exist in the army, and the sound of the bowstring breaking through the air when fired.
Before he had time to think about it, Hans gritted his teeth, his body moved, and instantly appeared on the side of the carriage, just in front of him an extremely fast long crossbow with a "sigh" sound, through the void, towards the carriage, if it was allowed to shoot on the carriage, it is estimated that the three people in the carriage may be more than lucky.
"Break!!" Hans shouted, his face flushed, and the cross sword in his hand brought out a streamer, and slashed fiercely at the fast-flying long crossbow.
"Bell!!" There was a loud bang, the swords and crossbows struck each other, and the cross sword in Hans's hand flew high under the huge power carried by the crossbow, and fell to the ground with a "clank" sound, and Hans was also a rapid rise and fall in his chest, as if the blow just now was very expensive, but the crossbow was also split diagonally after Hans's fierce blow, and disappeared at the end of the dark and dreary street.
At this moment, the long crossbow fired by the other bed crossbow also shot rapidly towards the carriage from the other direction, Hans's face changed again, and his feet moved again, and the whole person suddenly appeared on the other side from one side of the carriage, but such a rapid shift and displacement did not seem to be an easy thing for Hans, only to see an unnatural flush flash on his face, which was pressed down by his life. Facing the second rapid crossbow, Hans, who had lost his weapon, had a solemn face, and his eyes were full of determination, ready to use his flesh and blood to deal with this deadly weapon.
"Bang" was a little at Hans's feet, and the whole person rushed towards the flying crossbow, and when he saw that the black crossbow arrow was about to penetrate Hans's chest, a shield "brushed" appeared in front of Hans, and then slammed into the flying crossbow, knocking it out far away, and "pounced" into the ground.
