"Oh? So, she believed in the olive branch extended by the principality? Are you going to use the power of the Duchy to quell Castel's rebellion? ”

Tulip county, fortress of Neubold.

An old nobleman with gray hair and wearing the uniform of the standing nobles of the Duchy of Boulder said in surprise.

The figure of the old nobleman is not tall, but sitting there has a kind of momentum that is not angry and arrogant, which is the temperament that can only be cultivated by nobles who have been in high positions for a long time.

Behind him, there stood another young man with a somewhat similar face, also dressed in a military uniform.

However, unlike the old nobles, the military uniform on his body was that of the regular army of the kingdom, and it was also a gorgeous and majestic knight's dress, and the beautiful enchanted armor was shining.

"Yes, Lord Gaston, the rebellion in the Northlands has terrified the young Earl of Castel, and she is as surprised as if a drowning man had finally found a piece of driftwood."

In front of the old nobleman, the envoy who returned from Beigang was not embarrassed when he was in Beigang, and said respectfully.

The aged Earl Gaston's eyes flashed slightly:

"Oh? Panicky? But I don't think she's gathering tens of thousands of troops in Beigang like a panicked little girl......"

A faint red glow flashed in the depths of the returning messenger Tong Kong, which even he was not aware of, and continued to say respectfully:

"Lord Gaston, if she doesn't panic, if she doesn't fear, how can she not take this opportunity to order the army to go north?"

"It is precisely because of fear that she will still cower in Beigang even though she has a large army in her hands!"

"You must know that it was Viscount Lean-Castell and the elf Sebas who successfully summoned the nobles in Castel, and her existence prevented the nobles from wanting to go north to quell the rebellion!"

Hearing the messenger's words, Count Gaston's brow furrowed even more.

He glanced at the returning messenger and suddenly said:

"I heard, you met someone from that famous pirate family in the North Harbor? Still tied up by them? ”

The messenger's expression suddenly became a little unsightly, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"Lord Gaston! That's not an aristocracy at all! It's a bunch of lawless bandits! If it weren't for the Count of Castel stopping them, maybe I wouldn't have been able to come back! ”

"Oh? So, you were still saved by Charlotte? ”

The Earl of Gaston was a little surprised.

"Yes, she reprimanded those madmen harshly! She doesn't trust the nobles of the Northlands, she doesn't trust the nobles at all! ”

The returning messenger swore solemnly.

Looking at his expression of undoubted conviction, Count Gaston was thoughtful.

After a moment of silence, he nodded:

"I see, you stand down."

The messenger retreated, and the Earl of Gaston looked at the map of the Northlands behind his seat.

Beside him, the young man who had been standing couldn't help it:

"Father, what are you hesitating about? The little count of Castel agrees to your proposal, isn't that what we want to see the most? ”

"His Majesty the King has acquiesced to His Royal Highness the Prince's actions, I am afraid that there will be a big move on the Duke's side within half a month, and the legal deprivation order prepared by His Royal Highness the Prince will also be issued soon, if we really wait until that time to make a move, it will be the main force of our confrontation against Beigang head-on!"

"Our family has been operating in the garrison of the Tulip County for almost ten years, and if that time comes, we will face the fiercest attack of the Northland nobles, and even if we can defend the fortress, we will suffer heavy losses."

"Rather than this, it is better to strike first and trick Count Castel out of the North Harbor!"

"Once we can control her, the initiative will be in our hands, and His Royal Highness the Prince will take back the Castel Territory, and the biggest hero will be us!"

The young man was full of confidence, but when he heard his words, the old earl could not help but scold:

"Stupid!"

"His Royal Highness Philip can break the rules of the game, and that's because he is His Royal Highness the Prince! And even he didn't dare to blatantly deprive the nobles of their territories, and he had to first install legal charges for Castel! ”

"We're not the same, imprison a noble lord for no reason, do you think the kingdom's noble council eats dry food?!"

As he spoke, he shook his head again and said:

"Odis, you've been in the royal capital for too long, and you're not that familiar with Boulder anymore, I've seen Charlotte from Castel, and it's definitely not an ordinary nobleman!"

"Or do you think that a young lord who was eyed by nobles, lords, and the church, not only succeeded in inheriting the territory and gaining the allegiance of a well-known elf, but also successfully diverted and suppressed the nobles of the territory after inheriting the territory, and even received the support of the vast majority of nobles after the rebellion of the territory, is actually a stupid coward?"

"Not to mention, Charlotte travels, Sebas will inevitably follow, an elf whose strength has reached the blazing sun, even if he falls down the rank, it is far beyond the ordinary Silver Moon, even if he can successfully control the Count of Castell, it will be difficult for us to keep him, and as long as he succeeds in getting out, it will be endless troubles......"

Listening to the old earl's words, the young man bowed his head in shame:

"Father, you're right, it's me who owes it to me."

"No ......"

The old earl changed his words, and his eyes flashed slightly:

"Actually, what you said is also reasonable, His Majesty the King will sign the ban on the kingdom's army, and naturally acquiesce in the actions of His Royal Highness the Third Prince against Castel."

"Charlotte of Castel is still too young, and she doesn't know much about our King Majesty, compared to the ambition of the third prince, our King Majesty is the most intolerant of the expansion of the Holy Court's power."

"What she shouldn't have done is to make a promise to the Holy Court!"

"Otis, what you said is not bad, we should indeed take the initiative first, but, just like the legal deprivation order prepared by His Royal Highness the Third Prince, we also need to be prepared, not only to ensure that nothing goes wrong, but also not to leave a handle for others."

The young nobleman's heart moved:

"Father, what do you mean ......?"

The old earl glanced at him:

"Odis, do you know how your brother Jordan died?"

"Jordan? Didn't he die at the hands of the rampage of the undead because he participated in the drunken dream salon organized by Count Tulip? ”

The young nobleman said subconsciously.

"No ......"

The old earl shook his head:

"From the time he had dealings with the Blood Demon Order, he was destined to have such a day after all."

The young nobleman's heart jumped:

"What do you mean ......"

The old earl said meaningfully:

"The most important reason why Charlotte of Castel censored the nobles was that she wanted to wipe out the blood demons in the Northlands......"

"You say, what better organization than the Blood Demon Order to do the job of intercepting the Earl of the Northlands?"

The young nobleman's gaze changed slightly:

"What do you mean...... Disguised as the handiwork of the Blood Demon Order?! ”

The old earl nodded:

"Not bad."

"That'...... What about the elf beside her? ”

The young nobleman couldn't help but ask again.

The old earl smiled slightly, and said:

"Odis, do you know what the most popular magic scroll for assassins is?"

"Bloodline outbreak?"

The young nobleman said subconsciously.

"No,......" said the old earl, shaking his head, and hesitating:

"You'll know when the time comes."

……

"Master, are you really going to meet with the commander of the garrison in the tulip county? Are you going to go straight to the 'decapitation' operation? ”

In the Earl's Mansion of North Harbor, looking at Charlotte who was choosing travel clothes, Sebas couldn't help but ask.

Charlotte glanced at him:

"Isn't that what you gave me? It is necessary to strike first with super-spec force. ”

Sebas was a little embarrassed:

"Yes, I did suggest it, but I didn't expect you to make up your mind so quickly."

Charlotte nodded:

"It has to be fast, according to the information of the Roman Fore family, the Duchy of Violet may have a big move in the near future......"

"The third prince has planned very well, he has almost surrounded us, and even a tulip knife has been inserted in the middle of the territory, since he has made a plan, he must be fast."

"The information of the Violet Principality is unknown, and there must be a blazing sun in charge, and the distance is also far away, so it is not suitable to make a move, and the Lygris family is also not close, and there is hidden support from the Blood Demon Sect, so if you calculate it, only the Tulip Earlcounty is the best to deal with."

"Originally, I thought that if it was really hostile, it would be better to deal with the garrison of the Tulip County, but now that the other party has invited me in advance, it is clear that I will be the enemy, maybe it will be a good opportunity to solve the problem."

Sebas's expression was solemn and he said:

"Master, but you must also be careful, there is a Blood Demon Sect behind the Lyglis family, and the third prince has a connection with the Lyglis family, which means that the third prince is likely to have the power of the Blood Demon Sect behind him......"

"We can't guarantee that there will be no conspiracy between the Blood Demon Order and the Third Prince after this invitation."

Charlotte chuckled:

"I don't know about the Blood Demon Order, but Gaston's actions are definitely not at the behest of the third prince."

"In the transcript, the third prince has already set the tone for attacking the northland, and under the attack of the north and the south, the role of tulips can only be to contain our strength, like this kind of invitation...... On the contrary, it may startle the snake, and there is no point in doing it at all. ”

"If you want me to say, this is more like a unilateral action of theirs, perhaps, the Earl of Gaston wants to make a meritorious service."

"There must be a conspiracy, but eighty percent has nothing to do with the third prince, as for the Blood Demon Order...... To be honest, I wish it had something to do with them. ”

Sebas raised his eyebrows:

"Why is that?"

Charlotte grinned:

"Since we have decided to take action, then our actions must not leave a handle on people, and we must justify and rationalize our actions."

"And that means someone needs to stand up and take responsibility for everything."

As she spoke, Charlotte looked at Sebas with a smile:

"You say, in the Crescent Moon Kingdom, what other organization is more suitable to take the blame than the Blood Demon Order?"
