When Frida's side was extremely upset by a sudden series of events, Stephanie's side was not easy either. Frida got the news that the Pope was waging a holy war against the Wikipedians, and Stephanie couldn't have known about it, and knowing that holy wars are indiscriminate, that is, if the kingdom of Denmeka is attacked, she Stephanie is also one of the targets.

She is the queen of the kingdom of Denmaka, and she has no way to avoid it, and the only good news is that the Count of Dortmund has promised her that he will try to help her around, at least let the nobles who attack her turn to attack Frida.

To do this, in fact, it is not too difficult, although the Pope launched a holy war, most of the nobles chose to support, but this support cannot be all-out support, verbal support, giving a little money or just a few soldiers is also considered support, most of them are still a miscellaneous army composed of wandering civilians.

In such a situation, as a nobleman who is going all out to sound the holy war, at least on the surface, the Count of Dortmund definitely has a certain right to speak.

And many nobles were also happy that he did his best on the battlefield in the Kingdom of Denmaka alone.

Therefore, as long as it is done properly, it can definitely reduce a lot of pressure on Stephanie's side, which is also an important condition for Stephanie to be willing to recognize the treaty between them.

After all, the purpose of helping Carl attack Sibeck was to deal with Frida, but now because of the excuse of jihad, even if it wasn't for her request, Karl would send troops, although there was an agreement in advance, but it was inevitable that there was a bit of bullying.

"Her Majesty!"

Just then, a soldier walked in, still with some wounds and bandages.

Stephanie frowned, he vaguely remembered the soldier's face, if I remember correctly, this should be the video she sent to Haltz.

"What's the matter, soldier?" Stephanie asked faintly.

"Your Majesty, we lost the battle, we did not retake Harz Castle from Frida's hands, and now it is the enemy's territory." The soldier lowered his head and said, in fact, he was very nervous, and being sent to report such news would be nervous for everyone.

"What? You lost Harz Castle? Stephanie's eyes widened, he couldn't believe it was true, Hartz Castle, it was a very important place, it was rich in resources, and the geographical location was very important, occupying it was very helpful in attacking her hinterland.

And that's not the main thing, the most important thing is that it is the core territory of an earl who has taken refuge in her, and if she even loses Harz Castle, it will definitely be a huge blow to the morale of the nobles on her side, and some wall grass will definitely be shaken.

Stephanie fought back the anger in her heart and tried to make her expression kind, although in the end her expression was a little broken.

Unlike Frida, she lacks enough foundation and strength, so she must use every ounce of power and gain the support of those around her, or her rule will lose its foundation.

Therefore, from the beginning of the army, she has always been very kind to the people around her, and tried her best to give them benefits, so as to cultivate a group of loyal soldiers.

And at this moment, although she was extremely angry, she still had to try her best to hide her anger.

"Frida surrounded us, he sent the main force, the gods are above, they have at least more than a thousand people, and the heavy infantry also occupies a very large part, such a force makes us have no way at all, we can only try our best to resist, we resisted for more than a month, but after all, we still can't hold on."

The soldier said with a sad face, that kind of scene, he is still very afraid when he thinks about it now.

"Why hasn't there been any news from me?" Stephanie asked.

"They blocked us in all directions, and we could barely find a single place to send someone for help! We've sent several groups of people, but there's been no news. At this point, the soldier coughed violently, and his body was now in a terrible state.

Stephanie gave him a deep look, she didn't ask how the soldier had come here alive to report to her, it was a deserter, it was her judgment.

When the castle was finally breached, it was naturally impossible for Frida to slaughter the defenders in the city, after all, no matter where the city was breached, there would be many defenders who lost their fighting spirit and fled in all directions, and it was obvious that the soldier in front of her was that kind of person, but this soldier was willing to come back.

"I understand the situation, you go down first and let the military doctor treat you, thank you very much for bringing me back such information, I will pay you some money as a reward." Stephanie not only refuses to pursue the other party as a deserter, but is also willing to pay a sum of money.

"Thank you so much, Your Majesty, may the gods bless you!" The video was overjoyed, in fact, he didn't want to leave directly, but in the vast continent, where did you let him escape? These places are unfamiliar with the people, and he doesn't know how to go home, so in the end he has no choice but to follow some people here, but as soon as he comes back, he is sent to report such evil retribution to Her Majesty, and he is praying in his heart, hoping that Her Majesty will not be angry with him, but he did not expect that the Queen not only did not anger herself, but also was willing to give herself a reward.

Seeing the other party's ecstatic look, Stephanie nodded, these flowers were worth more than she thought, but don't look at it as a small reward, she can guarantee that this soldier will definitely tell his friends and comrades around him about this situation, which is definitely more direct and effective than any method of promoting her benevolence.

When the soldier left, Stephanie's face turned gloomy.

"Bang!"

She slammed the table, and it made a "whoosh" sound.

"Frida, is this crazy and wants to fight me?"

Stephanie roared and sent a large army to storm Harz Castle and take Harz Castle, such a big move.

Hartz Castle is not a weak castle, it is the center of a county! There, Stephanie had a very strong army, because it was a time of war, and the army stationed there remained at seven or eight hundred for a long time, which was already a very significant force for Stephanie.

And to take such a castle, the number of people and equipment are the top priority, from the mouth of the soldier just now, I know that Frida dispatched a large number of heavy infantry, and those heavy infantry wearing chain mail are terrifying on the battlefield.

At this point, Stephanie is far behind Frida, she is seriously lacking in heavy infantry, after all, most of her equipment relies on the aid of the assassination Brotherhood and Karl, and part of the family she left before, plus those nobles who have taken refuge in her, but that part of the family has already been lost in the previous long-term struggle, and those original books and those equipment that have taken refuge in their nobles, chain mail and other important things are really not much.

This kind of thing is a treasure for anyone, and it is impossible to give it to someone easily.

Therefore, Stephanie was a little nervous at this moment, she was more worried about the decisive battle than Frida, once the decisive battle was launched at this time, she might not be able to win, of course, if Frida really dared to do this, even if he won, he would definitely have to break his big teeth.

Venting her emotions, Stephanie forced herself to calm down once more.

She looked at the map on the table for a moment, her brows tightly knit together.

"No hurry, no hurry." Stephanie muttered.

She suddenly looked forward to the holy war launched by the Pope, as long as the Count of Dortmund kept his promise, then the most pressure of this holy war was definitely Frida and not her, and it was even very likely that Frida would completely lose her strength after the first war, and that time would be her chance, and all this had to wait, it would take time.

"Your Majesty, Count Reagan asks to see you!" Just then, a herald walked in and reported.

Stephanie only felt a headache, and the last thing she wanted to see right now was this Count Reagan.

Before she could let the other party in, a man with a bearded face had already barged in.

"Your Majesty, I heard that my castle, Harz Castle, has been seized by Frida! I want to know what the hell is going on and why there are no reinforcements to help my castle! Count Reagan clenched his fists, and his tone was more questioning than inquiry.

"Watch your attitude, Count!" Stephanie gritted her teeth and said coldly, even if she usually behaves kindly, she is still a queen, how can she tolerate others being so presumptuous in front of him.

"I'm sorry Your Majesty, I apologize to you for my rudeness, it's just that I really need an explanation." Count Reagan also relented and reluctantly apologized.

"I also just got the news, and I was shocked that Harz Castle was seized by Frida." Stephanie said helplessly.

But it is clear that such a statement is not acceptable to Count Reagan, who has lost one of the most important castles.

"Your Majesty, General Kefu has news!" Another soldier walked in, holding a letter in his hand.

Stephanie frowned, why did this matter happen one after another, but after all, it was the news from her own general, and she didn't know what to say, but took the letter and read it directly.

But fortunately, it was good-looking, and her expression softened a little after reading it.

"This news is really timely, Count Reagan, take a look, your castle is not without reinforcements, and we will not leave our own territory." Stephanie handed the letter to Count Reagan, whose face was as ugly as constipation.

Count Reagan didn't know what medicine was sold in Stephanie's gourd, so he took the letter and read it.

After reading it, his face became more complicated, and it was impossible to describe.

"I see, please forgive me for being unreasonable, I will definitely make Frida pay, he can take Hals Castle from me today, and one day I will hold him under my feet in Haken!" Count Reagan put down the letter, left the castle hall with a cruel word.

Stephanie breathed a sigh of relief, and seemed to have appeased Earl Reagan.

The letter only said one thing, and that was that among the several groups of emissaries sent by Harz Castle, some of them had indeed escaped Frida's blockade and found reinforcements nearby.

After all, Hartz Castle is not too far away from other Stephanie territories, and as long as it can avoid the blockade of the other side, it will not be difficult to find reinforcements.

And the messenger found General Kefu's army, and General Kefu also made a decision immediately, and chose to set off to help without hesitation, when the messenger arrived, it was already a very bad time, at that time the castle's defense was already crumbling, and finally when General Kefu arrived with the army, the opponent's royal flag had been raised in Harz Castle, and General Kefu was not at all sure that the other party could defeat the other party when the other party occupied the castle, at least with the two or three hundred people in his hands would never be able to do it.

In desperation, he could only choose to retreat, and had the details passed back.

Stephanie gave General Cave a hard credit in her heart, if there really weren't any reinforcements to Hartz Castle, Count Reagan would definitely be furious, and what General Cowf did just gave her an excuse.

However, Stephanie sighed again, now it is considered to have pacified Earl Reagan, but this is definitely not long-lasting, think about it, even if you think about it, her territory is occupied by the other party, even if she has to endure it because of the general situation for a while, it will definitely break out afterwards, and she will definitely do her best to take back the territory.

I only hope that Count Reagan will not be blinded by this anger and do something stupid, now a lot of situations are unfavorable to her, every bit of power is precious, she must use it perfectly, as one of the most important vassals under her, Count Reagan's strength and importance are self-evident, once something happens to the other party, it will definitely be a very huge blow to her, and it will also be a huge weakening of his entire camp, which is something she absolutely cannot bear.

"Someone, let Baron Wolf come to me." Stephanie hesitated for a moment and shouted.

If it weren't for the necessity, she definitely didn't want to see the Baron Wolff.

Baron Wolf was a member of the Assassin Brotherhood, the Assassin Brotherhood arranged for her to earn benefits for the Assassin Brotherhood, and Stephanie needed to use the power of the Assassin Brotherhood while not wanting the other party to plant too much power around her, but for the sake of the big picture, she had to be patient.

And now she had to rely on the power of the Assassin Brotherhood once again, and she knew that she might not be able to sustain herself alone, but this time she was afraid that she would have to hemorrhage again......
