Van Bock smiled heartily, but Dipp's expression was like a cramp. Please, can you not say the word "son-in-law", it's not nice to say it publicly.

As if he understood Dipp's thoughts, Van Bock waved his hand: "The knight dares to act, what dare not admit it? Chenel is a good child, treat her well." ”

"Eh!" Since the words had come to this point, Dipu could only nod vaguely in agreement.

Van Bock's words jumped quickly, and he immediately moved on to the next topic: "Dip! Use you as a bait and solve some small garbage. ”

"Nothing, nothing. Dipu hurriedly said a few polite words, and then asked, "Your Excellency, ...... Grand Duke"

"Call me Van Bock. I also had a relationship with Philip back then. He was still a prince at that time, and I was still the Grand Duke. ”

"Yes, yes. Uncle Van Bock. Dipu smiled wryly in his heart. This Red Lion Grand Duke's aura is amazing, and he was almost completely controlled by him today, "I was just going to ask you, who are those people who attacked me?"

"I was about to tell you. Van Bock didn't mean to hide it, "I felt strange after the Bavra incident. There were too many coincidences in her encounter with His Majesty Saleen. That's why I've been sending people to investigate. Dipu glanced cautiously at William next to him. Is it really good to openly talk about his mother's scandal in front of his son?

Unexpectedly, however, William was sitting on his back with a serious face and no other expression. And Van Bock is also like narrating other people's affairs, and there is no fluctuation in his tone: "After checking around, those people on the surface have been dug up, but there is always a vague suspicion that there is a black hand behind it." But those people are well hidden. Many people are also in high positions and it is impossible to be suspicious. So this trap was set. Bafra's business. Affected the relationship between the empire and the principality. If something happens to you again, it will affect the relationship between the kingdom and the principality. I arranged it. Sure enough, the 'fish' took the bait. So this time thanks to you. ”

"And what are those people?" Dipp continued.

Van Bock replied, "I suspect it's demons. ”

"Demons?" Dipu was taken aback.

"Hahaha!" Van Bock laughed, "don't worry, it's doubtful." It doesn't matter if you tell you, the ones caught are either too low to know, or some diehards committed suicide, unfortunately there is no evidence. But don't worry, this time it's basically all in one catch, even if there are fish that slip through the net. It can't set off any waves. When you go back, I'll let the Red Lion Knights protect you personally. As soon as you return to the Empire, there is no point in the demons assassinating you. ”

At this time, Dipu's heart was turning over: "It's meaningless? Sleeping with Valkyrie and making Jili's belly bigger." If there really is a demon assassin, he must be the number one assassin on the list. ”

Sensing that Dipp was pondering, Van Bock waited for a while before he spoke: "Dip! I secretly talked to you today, just because I didn't want the outside world to know. Tell Philip what you're talking about today, don't spread the word. ”

"Huh!"

Van Bock got straight to the point: "That's what happened to Bavra, but the result was to create hostility between the empire and the principality. The demons are about to invade. It's too late to make up for the relationship. However, the empire is deeply rooted, and with the support of all parties, it should be able to achieve the final victory. Of course, the war will be tough. The big war will also be long. I thought about it, the principality could not sit idly by and prepare to send troops. First out of the Knights, a brigade and 10,000 light horsemen. If the war is unfavorable. There are also follow-up troops. ”

"Huh?" Dipu was stunned. He was a little strange, "Uncle Van Bock. Forgive me for my presumptuousness, that's a great thing. But...... Why don't you talk directly to the Reich or the Holy See?"

Van Bock's expression was a little meaningful: "Because I don't feel comfortable handing over this unit to someone else." So only take your command. ”

"Huh?" said Dip, completely confused, "...... don't dare to hide it from you." I was really so-so in the war, and I only took the academy's courses for a year. Uncle Van Bock believe me, I am indeed grateful. But I'm afraid of betraying your trust!"

"Hahaha-!" Van Bock laughed, "who is born to fight?" Now you are also a general, and you can also get a good record, which is relatively good. I've studied your examples, and at least you're very cautious with your troops. Compared with the demons, our advantage is consumption. A cautious mind is enough. Don't shirk, if you don't agree, I won't send troops. ”

"...... this?" Dipp always felt that something was wrong. There's no need for the Grand Duke of Red Lion to trust himself so much?

Van Bock continued: "Actually, I was a little selfish to come to you. It's for my principality, and for your kingdom. ”

"Huh?"

"The history of the principality is longer than that of the empire, lasting more than 3,600 years. Last time, I decided to put an end to this history for the sake of humanity. But the empire doesn't cherish it, so I can only make another plan. Let me ask you, what will the empire do after driving out the demons?"

"Huh?" Dipu's eyes glazed. This question is too far, too deep, too high-end, right?

Van Bock smiled and asked himself: "After the victory, the empire will definitely be riding on the general trend and preparing to unify the continent. As a hostile principality, it will certainly bear the brunt. If it can be blocked, of course it is the best. And if not, the next one is your kingdom. It is impossible for an empire to settle the Duchy of His, or the city-states or colleges. What about your kingdom, what about your black collar?

Dipu immediately understood what the Red Lion Grand Duke meant. The relationship between the duchy and the kingdom is a bitter one, and he is thinking about the post-war layout. By this time, Dipp had been impressed by Van Bock. Don't look at this red lion grand duke like a rectum, it seems that there is no scheming. But he actually thought far enough.

If that's the case, the troops of the Red Lion Principality really can't be handed over to the Empire, for fear that the Empire will be attrition or division. And with Dipp in command, this is not the best option, but the most suitable one.

As soon as he thought about it, Dip said, "Uncle Van Bock! This is too big for me to be the master." I'll tell Uncle Philip as soon as I can. Let him decide as soon as possible. ”

"Hahaha!" Van Bock laughed, "then show my sincerity first! I will inform the Reich and the Holy See. Also, there are no eyes on the battlefield, and no one can guarantee that they will be safe and sound. You have to swear an oath, a knight's oath. In case I am gone, all the armies of the principality will be under your command. When William is an adult, you will return it to him. How?"

"Huh?" (To be continued.) )
