The Duchy of Violet, with its capital at Lint City.

In the lord's castle in the center of the city, Philip, the third prince, who had been teleported to Violet through the ultra-long-distance fixed-point teleportation magic of the mage tower, sat on the noble chair and looked at the personal soldiers who came to report with a frown:

"What do you say? Castel's main rebel army was wiped out? ”

"Yes, the whole army is gone...... It is said that on the banks of the Dorne, they only lasted half a day before they were wiped out by the coalition forces of Castel. ”

The soldier replied with his head bowed.

Listening to the words of the pro-soldiers, the expression of the third prince Philip changed.

I saw him subconsciously stand up, shook his head and said:

"Half a day? No...... That's impossible! ”

"The rebels in the Northland have gathered at least 10,000 men! If you add the hired northern hussars, the strength may be close to 20,000! ”

"Castel's mage regiment has long been disbanded, and there is no strength to form a military formation at all, how can it be possible to eat so many troops?"

"Not to mention 20,000 rebels, even 20,000 pigs, Castre's army can't catch them in three days, and now you actually tell me that they will be defeated in half a day?"

"What about the hussars of the North? And what about the army of the Earl of Gaston? Didn't the army of the Tulip Counts turn against each other?! ”

The third prince asked sharply.

The soldier swallowed a mouthful of saliva and replied stubbornly:

"Wang ...... Your Royal Highness the Prince, Tulip's garrison has indeed defected, but it is ...... They fell to Castel......"

Hearing this, the third prince's expression completely changed.

I saw him grab the collar of the chain mail of his own soldiers, and his expression was unprecedentedly gloomy:

"What do you say? Tulip's garrison fell to Castel? Do you know what you're talking about? That's my elite standing in Boulder! ”

"Yes, Lord Prince, news from the north says that the garrison of the Tulip Count has defected and joined the allied forces of Castel with the garrison......"

"It was precisely because of the defection of the garrison that the rebels were defeated, and even many of the hussars in the north were taken prisoner."

The soldier said as he carefully presented a parchment scroll.

The third prince snatched it and quickly browsed it, and the more he looked...... The more gloomy the look, the more ...... The angrier the gaze.

"Traitor! Lunatic! Anatol, this old bastard, dared to betray me! Is he really not afraid that I will directly deprive him of his title and territory?! ”

The third prince tore the sheepskin roll to pieces and threw it to the ground, his handsome features distorted with anger.

Anatole was the name of the Count of Gaston, and his full name was Anatole de Gaston, with a fief in the county of Elrå, south of Boulder.

Strictly speaking, he should actually be called Count Elston, just because the name of the Gaston family is relatively loud, and the Duchy of Polder has only one Gaston branch, so many nobles of Polder are used to calling him Count Gaston.

The betrayal of the Earl of Gaston undoubtedly drove the third prince into a frenzy.

There are not many elite standing reserves that can unfold the magic energy array, and there are not many in the entire Principality of Bord, and Gaston's run is directly almost a third!

"I knew it! I knew it! I shouldn't have listened to his sworn allegiance in the first place! These nobles of Boulder ...... All of them are bastards! ”

The third prince roared angrily, and the way he gritted his teeth frightened even Eleanor, who was massaging his feet in front of him, shuddered.

And when the third prince's eyes fell on his wife in front of him, he was even more furious.

I saw him kick the other party away, and said angrily:

"Rubbish! It's all rubbish! You Boulders are also rubbish! Raise your own standing stock! I can even run with the nobles below! ”

When Count Lint entered the room, he saw the scene of the third prince being angry.

The middle-aged nobleman, who was the heir of the Violet Principality, frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice:

"Your Royal Highness, pay attention to her identity, she is your wife and the Duke of Boulder."

"Humph!"

Seeing the middle-aged nobleman who entered the room, the third prince withdrew his foot.

"What are you doing? Don't hurry up and take Mistress Eleanor down. ”

Count Lint said to the soldiers on the side.

The pro-soldier trembled and did not dare to act at all.

Count Lint glanced at the third prince again:

"His Royal Highness the Prince......"

Facing the eyes of the middle-aged nobleman, the third prince took a deep breath and calmed down his anger.

Looking at Eleanor, who was curled up in a trembling ball, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, and then he waved his hand impatiently, and said:

"Alright, take her down."

After receiving the order, the soldiers took Eleanor down, and only the third prince and the Earl of Lint were left in the room.

Count Lint sighed and said:

"Your Royal Highness, the service can be left to the maid, Lord Eleanor is the Duchess of Baller after all......"

"Of course I know that she is a duchess, but I know even more that her surname is Boulder, my dear uncle, you should know what the old Duchess of Boulder did to me in the first place, right?"

The third prince squinted and asked.

Count Lint was a little helpless:

"The past is gone, now you are the Duke of Boulder, and you are also a strong contender for the throne, you have to look at the future, your every move is also watched by the nobles, you ......"

"Alright, my dear uncle, if you're here to teach me, forget it, I'm distraught now, and I can't listen to what you say."

The third prince waved his hand and said.

The Earl of Lint hesitated for a moment, and said:

"Is it news that the Castel rebels have been defeated?"

The third prince glanced at him:

"Grandpa already knows?"

"Yes, word has spread, it is said that Tulip's standing cavalry crushed the rebels in one fell swoop......"

Count Lint sighed.

The third prince was silent, and looking at his silent and gloomy appearance, the Earl of Lint asked:

"Your Royal Highness, you ...... What are you going to do with the Gaston family? ”

The third prince squinted at him and said:

"My uncle, I know what you want to say, Count Gaston is a member of the Gaston family after all, you are worried that if I move him, he will make a bad deal with the old fox of Duke Gaston......"

"But, my dear uncle, you didn't think about why he betrayed me?"

"Hmph, if there is no other force behind him to support him, how dare he betray me if he is a mere earl and his fief is still under my control? Count me? ”

"Abduct my army and help Castel put down the rebellion...... Hehe, you don't want to see me take control of Castel and increase my strength!"

Listening to the words of the third prince, the middle-aged nobleman's eyelids jumped:

"Do you mean that what the Earl of Gaston did was secretly supported by the Duke of Gaston? Maybe the duke has ceased to be neutral and has turned to the second prince? ”

"Hmph, it's possible."

The third prince said coldly.

Count Lint hesitated:

"Then you ......"

"Rest assured, I've got my priorities, and now the first problem is Castre, and as for Gaston...... Once Castel is settled, it's not too late to settle accounts with him! ”

The third prince said.

As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes:

"It seems...... I still underestimate the little earl. ”

"To be able to make Gaston betray, maybe she has been co-opted by the second prince and gained the support of the second prince."

"My uncle, things have changed, it seems...... We're going north at once and declaring war on Castel. ”

Count Lint nodded:

"That's what my father meant, Violet's army is on standby, and they can set off at any time after the war is declared."

The third prince nodded in satisfaction.

The loss of the Tulip garrison made him angry, but it wasn't enough to completely affect the overall situation.

Castel ...... After all, it is a county that lacks extraordinary material channels, and it is by no means an opponent after Violet and Boulder join forces!
