After this, Archduke Henry decided to seize the time and launch a fierce attack on Dietrich. The pen and the fun and the www.biquge.info must make Dietrich give in in the shortest possible time.

"But without Otto's help, I'm afraid I'm going to ...... on my own No matter, let Lesek's people be cannon fodder first. Weaken Dietrich!"

Just after making a decision, Archduke Henry heard the second bad news of the day.

"Grand Duke! Grand Duke Lesek's army is demolishing the camp! They seem to be withdrawing!"

After hearing the news, Henry was stunned for a long time before he realized what was going on-

"Bastard! Bastard! That guy must have heard about Otto, too! But how could he do that?! Now is the time to unite with me! We belong to the Trieste family. Could it be that Otto, that outsider, is more credible than me?!"

After Archduke Henry reacted, he scolded angrily. Completely forgot how he wanted to use the troops of Grand Duke Leszek as cannon fodder just now.

"In any case, this war must continue. No one can stop me!!" Hit by a flurry of bad news, Archduke Henry was already a little delirious. However, this madness only adds to his obsession:

"I am King Wende! I am the Emperor! My will is the will of the Lord of Radiance! No one can stop me! Dietrich, Leszek, Henry, Kalman IV, the Pope of Rome - all, everyone! I will make you pay! Send orders! Prepare the army as quickly as possible! Send troops, send troops! I want to show those bastards the mighty !! of the Trieste family"

That's it, Archduke Henry, in madness, gave the order to attack. The whole barracks were busy.

Although, the mercenaries who were hired were a little baffled. But take people's money and people to eliminate disasters. Since the employer did not lose their commission, the employer's order was more worthy of observance than the oracle of the Lord of Light. The mercenaries still have this kind of ethics.

At the same time, Dierich, the Grand Duke of Livonia, was also troubled in his own barracks.

At this time, Dietrich's mental fluctuations were no less than those of Archduke Henry. After hearing about the defeat of Grand Duke Vyal of Turov. After the news that the Hereford family had wiped out two countries in a row in January, Dietrich was on the verge of collapse.

It's horrible. How could such an outrageous thing happen in this world? It's cheating!

Archduke Dietrich, whose brain was in disarray, now regrets it very much. If you know that this is the case, then it is better to be honest before and not fight with Henry for any king. Honest submission, then Henry has no reason to seize his title of Grand Duke. Except that he is a little unhappy with the extra king on his head, he doesn't live his life how he should live?

But now, it's all over. Looking at the fate of the Grand Duke of Vyal, it is not difficult to guess himself.

As soon as he thought that he was going to die, his family's territory would be completely deprived, leaving only a small town and only a viscount title. Archduke Dietrich felt like he was going crazy.

If this is the case, then after waiting for heaven, what kind of face do you have to meet your ancestors?

For a moment, Archduke Dietrich only felt that all thoughts were disillusioned - if this guy was really a veritable army commander, then with his current state of mind, he was afraid that he would have been defeated by Archduke Henry a few days earlier.

Thankfully, he still has some self-knowledge. The commander is just in name. In fact, it is the mercenary generals who command the army. Otherwise, William would not have to engage in any diplomatic conspiracy at this time, but would have to consider how to get Archduke Henry to abide by the previous treaty and let him intervene in the shipbuilding industry in Livonia.

This sentiment of the Grand Duke Dietrich lasted until the arrival of the emissaries of the House of Hereford.

"The Hereford family does not want a famous family like the Groningen family to lose. We believe that guaranteeing the rule of the House of Groningen over Livonia is conducive to the stability of the Wende Kingdom and indeed the entire Great Frontier Region. The emissary of the Hereford family spoke such high-sounding official words. But it was this language that rejuvenated Archduke Dietrich.

The Hereford family was willing to give him a hand. What could be better news in this situation?

"Yes, yes! I am willing to support the Hereford family! I am willing to support the coronation of Archduke Otto as King of Wende! A hero like Archduke Otto is more suitable for the position of king than Henry's fool!" For a moment, Archduke Dietrich was speechless and excited.

“...... You seem to have misunderstood something. Hearing Archduke Dietrich say this, the envoy was stunned for a moment, and then smiled:

"The Hereford family has no coveted King Wende. Moreover, at the time of the Second Great Frontier War, the Hereford family had already made a promise to support the coronation of Archduke Henry. That promise is still valid today. ”

"This, this ......," Hearing the messenger say this, for a time the Grand Duke Dietrich did not know what was going on.

"In a month's time, we will hold an ecumenical council in Krakow, and we will tweet the German king. The messenger said, "Of course, the Hereford family will support Archduke Henry. In this case, the election of Archduke Henry was not in question at all. But that doesn't mean that our King Henry can do whatever he wants within the kingdom - balance. This is very important.

Archduke Leschek stands with us, Archduke Dietrich. If you can be on our side, then what is the use of Archduke Henry being king, what is the point? he will not receive anything but the title of king. Or even on the contrary, he will lose all his allies and become isolated because of the title of king.

In this way, the Groningen family's territory can be preserved, and the Hereford family's promise can be carried out. The balance of the Wende kingdom can also be guaranteed. It's a happy ending for all, isn't it?"

"Yes, for everyone. Grand Duke Dietrich nodded.

If it was before, he would still be a little unwilling. However, just after the catastrophe, Archduke Dietrich had already cut it open. In this situation, it is already the best result to be able to ensure that you have a family business. Although King Wende's throne was good, he Dietrich really didn't have the life to do it.

"But...... I still don't understand...... What good is it for the Hereford family? just to keep the promise and make it morally and reputationally good?"

"Nope. The messenger said: "In addition to comforting Your Excellency and reassuring you, I have another mission - to invite you to the ceremony of the inauguration of the Kingdom of Russia and the coronation of King Otto." As he said this, he spoke about the structure of the Russian kingdom and the fact that Grand Duke Otto had sent emissaries to the emperor and the pope.

"The Emperor and the Pope have agreed to the establishment of the Russian State and the joining of the Empire as the eighth Elector. In other words, at the Council in a month's time, His Majesty Otto will participate in it as a 'foreign monarch occupying the territory of the Kingdom of Wende', and not as a 'de jure vassal of the Kingdom of Wende'. The messenger said with a spring breeze on his face.

"I see, I see. Hearing the messenger say this, Grand Duke Dietrich was at last relieved: "When the time comes, I will certainly send an envoy—no, I will certainly be present in person, to congratulate His Majesty Otto." ”

"Thank you very much for your support. The messenger said: "Then there is something about the shipbuilding industry in Livonia." ”

"Shipbuilding?" said the envoy, Archduke Dietrich was a little wary - similar to Archduke Henry's attitude towards the textile industry in Shilonsk. Archduke Dietrich also did not like others to get involved in his shipbuilding business. Although compared to Shilonsk, the economic pillar of the Grand Duchy of Livonia is "trade". But people always like to have more things at their disposal.

"Yes, shipbuilding. "Completely ignoring the vigilance of Archduke Dietrich. The messenger smiled and nodded in agreement, "The Hereford family hopes to have the opportunity to intervene in the shipbuilding industry in Livonia. This is very important for the future development of the Hereford family...... Moreover, only when the two families have a tangible, interest-based connection, can the Hereford family be more biased towards you in the future situation in the Wende Kingdom, and that's the truth, isn't it?"

The envoy's implicit threatening words calmed Archduke Dietrich again - yes, shipbuilding is important, but now is not the time for him to have the final say. If he refuses the Hereford family and angers Archduke Otto, or King Otto, then everything he said before, holding on to the family property, the balance of the kingdom, etc., will be in vain. So he simply couldn't refuse the Hereford family.

"I see, the Hereford family can get involved in the shipbuilding industry in Livonia, and ...... It will also make the Grand Duchy of Livonia more prosperous. That's a good thing, how could I not say yes. Archduke Dietrich smiled reluctantly.

That's it. The Hereford family got all they wanted from Archduke Dietrich. Naturally, it feels much better to obtain something with strength and threat than to distribute it after the war, looking at people's faces, as if waiting for a reward.

Archduke Dietrich, who fears the power of the Hereford family and needs the support of the Hereford family, is naturally more reliable than Archduke Henry, who is afraid of the power of the Hereford family and wants to weaken the Hereford family. William's plan, William's layout in the Wende Kingdom, and William's future plans for the Wende Kingdom became a reality in the pandering of Archduke Dietrich.
