In Bremen, an unprecedented banquet is underway.

Under the victory of the Duke of Franconia and strong military pressure, even Bach chose to take refuge, and the other Saxon nobles also saw the wind and expressed their obedience.

So, in the city of Bremen, the Duke of Franconia was here, waiting for the nobles of the entire Duchy of Saxony to come and swear allegiance to him.

Looking at the rather sumptuous dishes in front of him, Otto had no appetite at all.

After talking to Werner that day, Otto, who knew what was going to happen here, could still eat.

"Count Otto, why don't you eat it?" On the side, Werner looked at Otto casually, stuffing food into his mouth as he spoke.

"Thinking about what will happen next, how can you still be in the mood to eat?" Otto shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"The battlefield is so cruel, and I didn't see Count Otto frowning, why did he suddenly become so soft-hearted now." Werner swallowed his food, a smile on his lips.

"It's not the same after all." Otto sighed.

"It's no different, and it makes no difference when the knights slash at the peasants with spears with their well-crafted weapons." Werner shook his head and stuffed other food into his mouth.

"Yes." Otto tilted his head and thought about it, it seemed to be the same thing.

Whether it is a knight killing those weak farmers, or using a knife against the nobles who are happy in front of him later, strictly speaking, it is a bully and a bully of the weak.

"Worthy of being His Excellency the Duke's most trusted vassal, Count Werner is really admirable."

Otto didn't think about the rest of the meal and began to enjoy this exquisite dinner.

"Whew... Otto... Count Otto is not joking, when it comes to admiration, I have too late to admire you. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have ended this war so quickly. ”

Werner opened his mouth with food in his mouth, nearly choking.

"Huh," Otto waved his hand. His Excellency the Earl is polite, everyone is doing things for the Duke, why are you talking about this? ”

"Speaking of which, I really want you to come and help the Duke.

If you do, maybe the Duke will be King of West Francia. Werner continued.

Otto was a little surprised, good fellow, just after the rebellion in Saxony was put down, and the Duke of Franconia began to think about taking a bird's seat?

But is this goal wrong, King of West Francia? Shouldn't it be East Francia, right, how could the position of the king of West Francia fall to him.

Even according to Carolingian's strange inheritance law, it would not be the turn of the Duke of Franconia to ascend the throne.

Fight by force? Isn't the old king of the West Frankish kingdom still dead?

Is there such a thing in history?

Otto then asked, but Werner seemed to have accidentally slipped his mouth, and then no matter how Otto asked, he turned to the left and said that he had said something wrong.

Otto knew that after all, he was not from the Duchy of Franconia, and it was impossible for him to know this kind of news. However, it is unlikely that it will be wrong to say it.

If the Duke of Franconia hadn't inadvertently revealed some of his thoughts, how could the people below guess the leader's thoughts?

Now it seems that there is no useful information left.

Otto didn't ask anymore, Werner didn't want to say, Otto certainly had no way to know, the two chatted a few more words, and Otto casually ate something to cushion his stomach.

At this time, beside the two of them, a heavily armed knight appeared.

"Two Earls, the time has come, and the Duke is waiting for you."

"yes, got it."

Otto and Werner nodded in agreement, and the knight saluted and left.

"Almost." Werner wiped his mouth and looked at Otto with satisfaction.

Otto hummed, feigned inadvertentness, and his gaze swept around the hall.

By now, almost a third of the guests have long since left their seats, and their whereabouts are unknown.

It seems that this banquet is about to reach its climax.

Glancing at Werner, Otto and the other left the hall.

"Count Otto, the Duke is waiting for you." Outside the hall, the knights Otto had seen before saluted respectfully.

"Lord Duke." Otto took advantage of the moonlight to look at the Duke of Franconia, whose ears were red from drinking too much.

"Hmm... Otto is here. The Duke of Franconia smiled. Thank you for your help during this time, I have a gift ready.

See you next time, then, Count Otto.

May the gods bless you. ”

"May the gods bless the Duke." Otto saluted respectfully. "Then I'll leave first."

After seeing the Duke of Franconia nodding, Otto quickly found his personal guards with relief, they were already ready, and after seeing Otto, they immediately escorted Otto out of Bremen City.

With the bright moonlight, the group went out of the city very smoothly.

At the gates, Otto glanced back at Bremen City and sighed.

The next scene that will happen in the city has nothing to do with him.

Although, the idea was his one.

When Werner asked him if he would mind killing a little more Saxon nobles, Otto did not hesitate at all and agreed directly.

Since the Duke of Franconia is needed to help El settle those Viking barbarians, he naturally has to hand over his own vote.

What's more, the Duke of Franconia also gave a gift that Otto could not refuse.

Although the Duke of Franconia seems to have put down the rebellion, in fact, except for the nobles in the west and north of Saxony, who were already weak, suffered varying degrees of losses, the core of the real rebellion, that is, the central Saxon nobles, basically did not suffer much loss.

These people, seeing that the situation is not good, surrender and submit to it, but this is only temporary.

The mistrust between the two sides has been going on for a long time, and the Franconian army cannot stay in the Duchy of Saxony for long.

Therefore, it is quite possible that as soon as the Duke of Franconia withdraws, the Duchy of Saxony will immediately return to its original state.

So the Duke of Franconia wanted to give the nobles of the Duchy of Saxony a wave of blood, so as to ensure stability.

Otto was also reluctant to take matters into his own hands, jokingly, cutting so many nobles at once, which is not the same thing as cutting churches and peasants.

So, Otto borrowed from a famous "bloody wedding" and put forward his own idea.

That is to trick people into coming, which is the most efficient, and the less resistance it will provoke.

After the "bloody wedding", the invincible wolf family has declined since then, and this is going to be a "feast of Bremen", and the Saxon nobles must be greatly injured, so they can only be obedient.

After thinking about it for several days, the Duke of Franconia found Otto's suggestion useful and agreed. At the same time, taking the opportunity of letting the Saxon nobles swear allegiance, they let some obedient nobles go.

That's why today's grand banquet is here.

It's just that everything has nothing to do with him.

On the side of the road ahead, a carriage was guarded by more than a dozen cavalrymen, a gift from the Duke of Franconia to Otto.

Now, Otto had to go get his gifts.
