Chapter 271: The Death of the Grand Duke of Ulubaha

The Grand Duke of Ulubaha is killing himself.

There has never been a third-level great sword master who died as aggrieved as the Grand Duke of Ulubaha, and he can only blame himself for being greedy for money, and he doesn't know what to do, so that the president of the Two-Headed Dragon Chamber of Commerce can no longer bear it, regardless of the relationship between his relatives, he let him take the pill of dispersal power at the banquet, just like an ordinary old man who was beheaded by the attendant behind him with a sword.......

In the middle of July 1773 in the Guelinthia calendar, under the city of Fayes in the Kingdom of Trimber, nearly 140,000 horses of the eleventh alliance and the 180,000 troops of the merchant alliance had been facing each other for more than two months, without attack and defense, no battle, not even a challenge duel between knights. The main reason for this is that the knights in the eleven-nation alliance think that there are no knights in the army of the commercial alliance, and some are just mercenaries, and it would be too embarrassing to challenge them.

The two armies were facing each other, and the walls were strong, but the messengers between the two were constantly in constant contact, and it seemed that as the daily newspaper Morent said, this glass war would not end until the royal treasury of Trimber VII was empty.

For the Eleven-Nation Alliance, this is a tacit understanding, Trimber VII is stupid and has a lot of money, and these 140,000 horses are here to confront the army of the Commercial Alliance, and they will never attack. Stay comfortably in the camp every month, all the supplies are supplied by the royal family of Trimber, not only eat and drink well, but also have a large number of commissions to get every month, and often a lot of ladies and ladies come to the barracks **** party, this day is more pleasant than vacation, I really hope that this war can last for two or three years......

But for the business alliances, the war has continued until now, making it difficult for them to ride the tiger. From the initial self-defense counterattack to the occupation of half of the area of the Trimber Kingdom and then to the destruction of the Trimber Kingdom, the goal is changing, the scale of the war is getting bigger and bigger, and the duration is getting longer and longer, compared to the military expenses and logistics supply of the eleven-nation alliance are all borne by the Trimber Kingdom, the logistics supply of the 180,000 army of the commercial alliance can not find such a big wrong, which has put a heavy burden on the commercial alliance.

But the business alliance can only grit its teeth and persevere, and the war has dragged on to this point, which has involved many aspects and caused too much impact. Just like now, the eleven-nation alliance accepted the request for help from the Trimber Kingdom for money and came to confront the army of the business alliance, but if the business alliance can't hold on, once it collapses, no one dares to guarantee that the eleven-nation alliance will turn around and turn into a wolf and pounce on the business alliance and bite hard......

This is also the main reason why the 180,000 troops of the business alliance do not dare to attack, and it is still certain to hold on, but if the attack is frustrated, it may cause an avalanche of rout. These 180,000 troops are already almost all the combat power of the business alliance, and if the attack fails, it will crush morale and even collapse for thousands of miles......

As the initiator of this glass war, Trimber VII, finally came to his senses in the face of the situation under the army, and re-proposed a request for peace talks, this time his posture was very low, and he was willing to accept the original request of the commercial alliance, cede half of the country, and apologize to the commercial alliance for all losses.

It's just that Trimber VII forgot to ask God to send God easily, and now it is no longer him who is in charge, but the eleven-nation alliance that controls the city of Fayes, and the commanders of these coalition forces have regarded Trimber VII as a big fat sheep, and he is not willing to give up if he slaughters a knife without hatred. So they patted their chests in front of Trimber VII and promised to drive the army of the commercial alliance out of the territory of the Trimber Kingdom, and at the same time cut off the royal family's external communication, as long as Trimber VII obediently stayed in the palace and paid the coalition army.

As soon as Trimber VII saw this scene, he knew that the general trend had gone, and the Trimber Kingdom was finished, so he simply broke the jar and doubled the bounty for the high-end combat power of the Commercial Alliance. As a result, the assassination and counter-assassination of the high-end combat forces of the coalition and the commercial alliance entered a high tide stage, among which the most eye-catching was the Grand Sword Master Grand Duke of the Principality of Ulubaha.

As the ruler of a principality and a third-level great swordsman, Grand Duke Ulubaha should be considered the most noble person in the coalition army. But he has a problem, that is, he regards money as his life. Although the Duchy of Ulubaha was a poor country, the Grand Duke had the ingenuity of renting out two legions of the Duchy for a mercenary of no less than one million gold medals per year. It's just that all these gold coins went into the private pockets of the Grand Duke, and they refused to invest in the construction of the people's livelihood or public infrastructure in the principality.

Anyone who has been to the Principality of Ulubaha knows that whether it is the capital of the Principality or the Grand Ducal Fort where the Grand Duke lives, everything is dilapidated, and the only fountain in the square in front of the Grand Duke is built by the Grand Duke's grandfather when he was the Grand Duke, and it is also the only public service facility in the entire Principality for thirsty passers-by to get water to quench their thirst. It's just that the Grand Duke had the idea of this fountain and wanted to charge for it, but later found that the water fee collected was not enough to pay the wages of the guards and toll collectors who went to the fountain.

For the people of the Principality of Ulubaha, the current Grand Duke is an insatiable dragon-like existence, just like the legendary dragon, people spread rumors that the Grand Duke Fort is a dragon cave, and the Grand Duke's favorite thing is to sleep on the pile of gold coins, which shows how bad the impression of the Grand Duke is in the minds of the people.

For example, the monthly mercenary money for each legion is 100,000 gold merit, but 60,000 of them go into the Grand Duke's pocket, and the remaining 40,000 are the salaries, accommodation, and equipment replacement funds for the officers and soldiers of the Legion

What can a small army of 24,000 men do, with only 40,000 gold coins a month, including the salaries of officers and men? Therefore, this legionnaire eats the worst food, barely enough to fill his stomach, and the equipment is also the most rudimentary. They are happiest to be hired to eat a few good meals, because the employer provides room and board during the employment period.

The Grand Duke of Ulubaha brought both mercenary legions to the kingdom of Trimber in order to make a big profit, because Tripper VII paid three times the usual price, and one legion a month was 300,000 gold fords. The Grand Duke was moved, and he couldn't even take care of the principality, anyway, no one would fight the idea of the principality, he thought so.

When Trimber VII doubled the bounty for the high-end combat power of the Commercial Alliance, Grand Duke Ulubaha thought that with his ability as a third-level great sword master, he could earn a few million more, so he also threw himself into the assassination of the Bombardment Lielie.

It's just that the business alliance has long taken precautions against this, and the counter-assassination is also impressive, and even laid traps to lure the high-end combat power of the coalition army into being fooled, and killed several great sword masters of the coalition army. In this way, the Grand Duke of Ulubaha could not find a chance to start, so he began to use his crooked brain.

As a relative of the president of the Cumberlet of the Two-Headed Dragon Chamber of Commerce, the Grand Duke of Ulubaha has not been to Moriente City, his precious grandson is studying in an academy in Moriente City, relying on whether his grandfather is a grand duke or a great sword master, and his relatives are also the president of the Ssangyong Dragon Chamber of Commerce, which ranks first among the seven giants of the business alliance......

Since the Grand Duke of Ulubaha has not been to Morent City, he will naturally go to the Double-Headed Dragon Chamber of Commerce to fight the autumn wind, and he has also met many great swordsmen of other chambers of commerce, and it is inevitable that the two sides will occasionally learn swordsmanship and talk about their cultivation experience. Now the Grand Duke is putting his mind on the great swordsmen of these business alliances that he knows.

First of all, I sent a letter to the great swordsmen of these business alliances, saying that the great swordsmen of the alliance army will ambush and want to assassinate you at such and such time, and then wait for the days to pass, and the great swordsmen of the business alliance really found out that there was indeed something wrong, and after two or three times, the business alliance side was relieved of him, thinking that the Grand Duke of Ulubaha was good, although he was a little stingy, but he still cared about his past friendships, and his heart was still biased towards the side of the business alliance.

Then the Grand Duke of Ulubaha made a move, first giving a wrong information, saying that the great swordsmen of the three coalition forces were one person, and as a result, the business alliance sent three great swordsmen to strangle, three against three big battles, no one could help anyone, so they had to value peace. At this time, the Grand Duke hurriedly came, apologized again and again, saying that there was an accident, and when he was leaving, there were two great sword masters on the side of the coalition army who had to go with the great sword master, and when the news reached him, he was in a hurry, and he rushed to help him for fear of an accident......

The three great swordsmen of the business alliance did not suspect it, but regarded the Grand Duke of Ulubaha as their own people, and thanked the Grand Duke very friendly and sincere for everything he had done, and in this harmonious atmosphere, the Grand Duke poisoned the three unsuspecting Great Swordsmen.

Not to mention having a heart or not being a heart, as a third-level great sword master, against a second-level great sword master and two first-level great sword masters, or when the other party is not on guard, it is a hand-to-hand capture. The three great swordsmen of the business alliance were left in the wilderness, and their heads were cut off by the Grand Duke and taken to exchange for a bounty with Trimber VII.

This happened right before the eyes of the scouts of the Merchant Alliance's army, and the terrified scouts sent the news back to the camp, and the entire camp was thrown into chaos, and the angry people crowded President Cumberlet's tent. In particular, the second-level great swordsman who died was enshrined in the Peterson Chamber of Commerce, and the other two first-level great swordsmen belonged to the Mayflower Chamber of Commerce and the Chikde Chamber of Commerce.

The three presidents were so angry that they almost pointed at President Cumberlet's nose and cursed. Finally, the tossing and turning did not stop until midnight, and almost all of a sudden, President Cumberlet, who had aged ten years, collapsed in his chair from exhaustion, and hated his so-called relative, the Grand Duke of Ulubaha, to death. Not only did he release his own pigeons, but he also disregarded his status as the commander of the army of the business alliance, and used the relationship he had introduced to him before to do such an angry thing, which was really asking for money......

At this time, President Cumberlet suddenly found that there was still one person left in the big tent, and it was still the eldest young master of the Chicked Chamber of Commerce, Seriham. He graciously told President Cumberlet that he had an idea......

It was on that night that the Duchy of Ulubaha was doomed, and President Cumberlet made an agreement with the Grand Young Master of the Chicked Chamber of Commerce, Seliham. It is said that President Cumberlet sighed afterwards that it was a pity that his children and grandchildren were not as good as the eldest young master of the Chicke Chamber of Commerce, Serriham, who was a real businessman.

The precious grandson of the Grand Duke of Urubaha was forcibly taken from the academy in the city of Morent to the camp at the front, and President Cumberlet wrote a letter of invitation to his relative, the Grand Duke himself, saying that his precious grandson had come and wanted to meet him, so he set up a small camp not far from the main camp, where he would feast the Grand Duke of Ulubaha.

Although the Grand Duke of Urubaha is obsessed with money, he is also an old treacherous and slippery person, he naturally does not believe that President Cumberlet will attack him, but he has just killed the great swordsmen of the three business alliances and obtained a huge bounty, so he naturally has to guard against the business alliance digging a pit for him to jump. But the precious grandson must not be missing, otherwise the grandson will not have the future principality, and there will be no one to inherit it......

So the Grand Duke wrote back, saying that it was okay to meet, but the place had to be arranged by him. President Cumberlet agreed.

Grand Duke Urubraha ordered his Scarlet Red Regiment to re-camp at about the same distance to the left of the confrontation between the two armies, and then had President Cumberlet meet with his precious grandson in the camp. The Grand Duke is very calculating, in the large camp of his own legion, even if he is attacked by a large group of great sword masters, as long as his soldiers give a warning, with his third-level great sword master's skills, he can still escape unscathed. As for the Scarlet Red Army, it doesn't matter if it's all over, anyway, there is nothing else in the Principality of Ulubaha, but there are many people, and there are many people who want to be soldiers and sell their lives......

President Cumberlet still agreed. On that day, the first battalion was a large group of chariots and horses, carrying all the materials for the banquet, because President Cumberlet said that he wanted to have a banquet, so he had to give all these things, anyway, if it was the Grand Duke of Ulubaha, he would not have died to invite others to a banquet, and even if he could not invite someone to eat and drink once, it was the most humble wine and food, so it was better not to eat.

After the Grand Duke of Urubbaha personally inspected the servants and cooks who had arrived, and examined the materials for the banquet that had been transported, and confirmed that these people were ordinary people who had not done anything with the materials, he finally relieved himself, and began to wonder why President Cumberlet was entertaining him at this moment, and what he wanted to do......

When President Cumberlet came, he didn't even bring a gold-rank swordsman, but he brought a dozen silver-rank squires and the Grand Duke's precious grandson. As soon as the banquet began, the Grand Duke of Ulubaha really let down his guard, and President Cumberlet came to persuade the Grand Duke to withdraw and return home, and not to get involved in the war between the business alliance and the Kingdom of Trimber.

In other words, the business alliance suffered a loss at the hands of the Grand Duke and admitted it, and the death of the three great swordsmen would be considered their own bad luck, but this matter ended here, and President Cumberlet asked the Grand Duke of Ulubaha to stop embarrassing him in the face of his relatives.

Grand Duke Ulubaha rejected President Cumberlet's proposal, saying that if it weren't for the sake of his relatives, President Cumberlet would not have thought of going back today. You must know that as the commander of the 180,000 army of the Business Alliance, the price of President Comberlet's head has doubled to three million goldfords, which is a very difficult choice for the Grand Duke, and not killing President Comberlet's relative means that the Grand Duke is missing three million gold coins, so the Grand Duke asks President Comberlet to compensate......

President Cumberlet never dreamed that this relative of his would even have the idea of his own head, and finally died completely. Grand Duke Urubahar said with a strange smile, "It's okay not to give compensation, as long as President Comberlet lures a few other chamber of commerce presidents to come over, and the combined value of the head is more than three million gold coins, he will let President Comberlet go back......

The banquet fell into a dead silence, and even several of the Golden Knights of the Scarlet Red Regiment who accompanied the banquet felt ashamed and disgraced by the words and deeds of the Grand Duke. At this time, the Grand Duke's precious grandson jumped up and said that he had bought a bottle of good wine in the city of Morente and brought it to the Grand Duke to taste, which was also his filial piety to the Grand Duke's grandfather.

The Grand Duke of Ulubaha was harsh to others, but he was very doting on his precious grandson, and of course he was happy that his grandson had this filial piety, and poured himself a glass of wine, and also poured a glass for President Cumberlet.

President Comberlet didn't care, at this moment he borrowed wine to drown his sorrows, and after taking the glass and drinking it all, he felt that it tasted good, and the wine glass was put down and motioned for another glass.

The Grand Duke of Ulubaha was not happy, this is his precious grandson to honor himself, and poured a glass for President Cumberlet, which was polite and took the opportunity to find out if there was a problem with the wine. Seeing that President Cumberlet was drunk, he became stingy, and ordered the elder to be served another drink, and drank the bottle of wine himself cup after glass.

Then the Grand Duke of Urubahar heard the sound of his sword drawn behind him, and when he looked around, he saw that one of the silver squires brought by President Cumberlet was slowly drawing his sword from its sheath, and the squire looked at him like a cow or sheep to the slaughter.

The Grand Duke of Ulubaha shouted: "What do you want to do!"

I wanted to jump up, but I didn't move, and when I moved, I found that my body was empty without a trace of fighting spirit, and the whole person felt weak and weak like a person who had been sick for a long time, and couldn't stand up......

The Grand Duke of Ulubaha was shocked, knowing that he had fallen for the plot, and hurriedly shouted at several golden knights of the Red Army: "Come and save me......"

It's just that the golden knights looked at the Grand Duke with sarcasm and disgust, as if they hadn't heard his cries for help.

The sword flashed, and the head flew.

Grand Duke Ulubaha, the third-level great sword master, died under the sword of an unknown silver squire.

The Grand Duke's precious grandson was stupid and frightened, and his dear grandfather was beheaded right in front of him......

As soon as the curtain was lifted, the eldest young master of the Chikde Chamber of Commerce, Seliham, walked in with a smile, and in front of the Grand Duke's head, his precious grandson and the eldest young master signed an agreement to transfer the Duchy of Ulubaha to the Chikde Chamber of Commerce at the price of one million gold fords and one hundred thousand gold fords per year, and from then on, the baby grandson of the Grand Duke will be obediently a duke in Morent City......

After the agreement was signed, the Crimson Legion thundered with joy, and then another tricolor sword legion of the Principality of Ulubaha also defected to the side of the Commercial Alliance, and then the Peterson Chamber of Commerce swept the Principality of Delia with the assistance of the Crimson Legion, because the two great swordsmen of the Principality of Delia coveted the bounty of Trimber VII fell into the trap set by the Merchant Alliance in the assassination and died, and 80% of the Duchy's military strength was sent to the Kingdom of Trimber as reinforcements.

After a single battle, the Scarlet Red Army successfully raided and captured the capital of the Duchy of Delia. The Archduke Delia and his family were hanged by order of President Peterson in the name of hostility to the Business Alliance, and then President Peterson announced that the territory of the Duchy of Delia would be incorporated into the territory of the Business Alliance, and that the Duchy of Delia would become the territory of the Peterson Chamber of Commerce. At the same time, the Chiked Chamber of Commerce also announced that the Duchy of Ulubaha would be incorporated into the territory of the Business Alliance and become the domain of the Chiked Chamber of Commerce......

So the second- and third-rate chamber of commerce presidents in the army of the business alliance also turned their attention to those small countries where reinforcements were in the Trimber Kingdom and the great swordsman itself was gone......
