The meeting between Earl Gaston and Charlotte was no secret.

In fact, there is no way to hide the movement of troops of this scale.

Not to mention that the nobles of the Northlands knew that she was going to meet with the commander of the garrison of the Tulip County, and the Tulip County also stayed behind to guard the officers who were effectively loyal to the Boulder family.

However, Charlotte did not intend to hide the meeting.

Not only that, but after returning to Northport, she also announced the outcome of the meeting in a high-profile manner, that is, she would form an alliance with the Earl of Gaston, who was stationed in Tulip Collar, and go north together to destroy the rebels in Castel.

The same goes for the Tulip County.

Earl Gaston, who had returned to the fortress, quickly reorganized his armaments and announced that he would assist Earl Castell in his northward march to quell the rebellion.

This decision caused a stir among the upper echelons of the garrison, and many commanders loyal to Boulder objected.

Tulip's garrison was surnamed Boulder after all, and even though Count Gaston was the commander-in-chief and the Gaston family had been operating here for ten years, it could not completely replace Boulder's influence.

The commanders who opposed the Earl of Gaston were also well founded.

That is, without orders from the Boulder side, the garrison could not leave the Tulip County without authorization, let alone help the nobility of the duchy to quell the rebellion.

】

For them, the Count of Gaston's mobilization of troops from the fortress already made them very unhappy.

For a time, the noble commanders of the Tulip County quarreled in the fortress about whether to assist Castell in sending troops to quell the rebellion, and the Boulder faction and the Gaston faction did not give in.

The quarrel didn't last long, though.

Because Count Gaston wrote an urgent letter and teleported it to the Boulder side using the mage tower in the fortress.

Soon after, the Mage's Tower also sent back a reply from Boulder.

Eleanor, Duchess of Boulder, agreed with the Count of Gaston and ordered him to send troops to assist Castel in quelling the rebellion north.

With the consent of the Boulder side, the other commanders of the garrison naturally had no reason to object.

Although many commanders wondered why the Boulder side would agree to Count Gaston's actions, orders are orders, and they eventually chose to comply.

At the same time, in North Harbor, the returning Charlotte also announced that she would personally lead her army north to quell the rebellion.

Charlotte would serve as the leader of the coalition, while Baron Angus would serve as the de facto commander-in-chief.

All the nobles who participated in the war were rewarded for their exploits, and those who had significant merit could receive land from the Lyglis family, or even ...... Title.

When the order came out, the nobles of the Northland, who had already been gearing up, suddenly fell into a boil.

In their view, the coalition was clearly superior to the rebels, and now with the aid of the Earl of Gaston's Duchy Standing Army, quelling the rebellion was as simple as a garden visit.

This is almost a low-hanging victory, not to mention the hope that the meritorious person will still receive land and knighthood.

However, it is not without opposition.

Like the old viscount of the Roman-Fort family......

"Your Excellency, Lord Count...... Why agree to Count Gaston's proposal? The third prince's covetousness of Castel is well known, and the intelligence on the Violet side is ...... You've seen it all. ”

"Compared to the rebellion in the north, the most dangerous thing for us now is the three princes who are eyeing each other, and the violet army that is about to move."

"I don't think it's a good choice to lead a large army north at this time, especially if you're going to go on your own ......"

"Have you ever thought that this is likely to lead to the emptiness of our south, and once the Violet side launches an attack, the consequences are unimaginable......

"What's more, aren't you worried that Earl Gaston will suddenly betray and defect during the time of the rebellion? Or are you going to settle the rebels with the army of the Tulip Counts? ”

"I know you may want to resolve the civil strife as quickly as possible and concentrate on a possible invasion, but your options ...... It's so adventurous! ”

Looking at the old viscount, who ignored the obstruction of his guards and hurriedly felt the advice of the Earl's Court after knowing his decision, Charlotte's expression softened, and said gently:

"Your Excellency, of course I know who our real enemy is."

"Don't worry, I won't take all the troops with me, and there will be no problems in the South until the Northland rebellion comes to fruition."

Viscount Roman-Fort frowned:

"That's even more undesirable and more dangerous! You're risking your life! ”

"The rebels aside, the army of the Tulip Count is an extraordinary standing that can form an array of magical energy! Once our army faces their defection and flanking attack, the consequences are unimaginable! ”

Listening to the old viscount's words, Charlotte smiled slightly:

"Your Excellency, don't worry, the army of the Tulip Count is no longer a problem."

"Huh?"

Viscount Roman-Fort was visibly stunned for a moment.

Charlotte did not continue to explain, but gestured to Sebas beside her, while Sebas took out a roll of parchment from his bosom, smiled and handed it to the old viscount:

"Your Excellency, take a look."

Viscount Roman-Fort took it, and when he read it clearly, he was stunned:

"It's ...... Your Earl's secret pact with Count Gaston?! Count Gaston is willing to support you in your rebellion against the Third Prince?! ”

"This ...... This...... How is this possible?! ”

……

Viscount Roman-Faure couldn't figure out why Count Gaston was on Castel's side.

The contract shown by Sebas is real, it is a contract certified by the god of contract, and once it is violated, it is tantamount to becoming an enemy of the Holy Court, which is self-defeating.

But in any case, with such a contract in hand, Viscount Romain Faure has nothing to say.

As for why there is such a contract...... Naturally, Charlotte made a special agreement with Earl Gaston.

The Blood Servant can't be put on the surface, but the contract can.

Rhetoric could not dispel the doubts of nobles like Viscount Roman-For, and she needed a more reasonable way to give them an explanation.

After reading the deed, Viscount Roman Faure no longer objected to Charlotte's plan.

Although he still had doubts in his heart, as a vassal, he also understood that every nobleman had his own secrets, and if Charlotte didn't want to talk about some things, he couldn't ask them.

At least...... In terms of the current relationship with each other, it is difficult to ask.

So, three days after Charlotte announced her northward march, the army in North Harbor went into action.

Charlotte deliberately changed into a skirt and armor, and with a total of 25,000 people, surrounded by many nobles, she rushed to the north.

At the same time, the third prince in the city of Boulder also received a letter from Charlotte personally going north to quell the rebellion......
