In the previous discussion, the dukes represented the old aristocratic forces, Disraeli and Cells also represented the old powers, but they belonged to the original royal party, but now they also turned against each other because of Magritte, and Solomon represented the emerging forces, which included merchants as the main body, some unwilling nobles, and low-level citizens with stable incomes.

However, no matter how bright the future is, if Margaret is not allowed to step down, it will be just a dream, but the noose around her neck will be tightened more and more until she dies, and it is not easy to deal with Margaret.

When her father Edward was alive, he had cleverly borrowed the internal appearance to take back the military power of the kingdom, and the three dukes now only had some private troops in their hands.

The kingdom's army now includes not only the original six main army corps, but also four to five second-tier legions after the assembly of some firearms to form the Asturian phalanx.

Thankfully, these second-tier legions, along with the two main legions, are now fighting against the Orcs and the Aurora Empire on the Eastern Beast Plain.

And Farusion, Yugudral, and Fadell need to be stationed, so Margaret doesn't have the actual military power at her disposal now.

"Therefore, if we are going to carry out a coup d'état, the first key at that time is to control the main hall. ”

The projector converted from the Shadow Animation Projector projected a rough map, and Solomon tapped his finger at the location of the teleportation hall, "If we can't control it here, we will definitely lose." ”

Everyone nodded, and Krausa said, "The real key is how to deal with the Guards. It is the only legion currently stationed in Saint-Quentin. But it is also the most difficult legion to deal with. has always been to defend the royal family. ”

"As long as Freyas is still in control of this legion, it is impossible for us to defeat them under normal circumstances. Byron was embarrassed and said, "Not to mention the secret guards." ”

"If our private army were to be taken back from the current inherent plane, it would only be worthy of fighting the Guards Legion. The Duke of Medici said: "But this refers to the field battle, the old town of St. Quentin is protected by a huge magic array, and now with Black Rock, it is no longer difficult to activate and exert the effect of this magic array for a long time." And Freas, with the support of the magic array, there is no legendary powerhouse in the kingdom who is his opponent, although each of our three families has a legendary powerhouse. However, he had been injured in the hunting battle in the East Beast Plains before, and he still hadn't healed, and even if he joined forces, he couldn't be sure of defeating Freas, who had the support of the magic array. Therefore, we have no chance of victory in a frontal attack on St. Quentin, and Freas can defeat us as long as he drags on any of the legions to come back to reinforcements. ”

"Not only that, Margaret also has the support of the church, although the church cannot send a large number of troops over, but there will definitely be some strong people who will come to support. All they need to do is protect Magritte, even if we do capture St. Quentin. As long as they succeed in escorting Margaret out, it will turn into a long-lasting war of division. Ludendorff said worriedly.

"So, Solomon, in addition to the support of this new legion in your hands, we also need the orcs on the side of the Western Beast Plain, and the attitude of the Free City. The Duke of Bourbon said.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is impossible for the West Beast to help us directly. Solomon shook his head.

"Why?"

"Quite simply, think about it, the reason why we are preparing for a coup d'état and are sure that we will have the support of the majority afterwards is because Margaret has acted perversely and adhered to the faith of the Church of Light, and if we directly involve the orcs in the coup d'état, what do you think the subjects of the kingdom will think of us? At least afterwards, it is extremely difficult to get the support of the other legions, who will think that we are colluding with the orcs to betray the kingdom, so we can only carry out this coup d'état without directly borrowing the power of the orcs, and it will be easy for the other legions to understand and submit after the fact. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, if this coup d'état results in a fragmented and protracted scuffle, and Asturias is in a state of total destruction, then there is no point in our calculations here, but it may be another outcome that the Church wants to see. If they can't use Margaret to regain control and influence here, then let it be chaotic. Solomon looked around the people.

"But then it's even harder for us. Duke Byron sighed: "We don't want to divide the kingdom either, but we are already on the weak side, and it is simply impossible to quickly end the civil war under the premise that we are obviously weak." ”

"If the mages of the Academy of Magic are willing to help......."

"They will not intervene in the civil war in Asturias. Solomon shook his head.

"I might have a solution. Klausa said suddenly.

The dukes perked up, and Solomon waved his hand at him and said, "Please speak." ”

"First of all, we must control the teleportation hall, this is absolutely true, control the hall, at least to ensure that the legions in the other planes are not alarmed, or even if someone gets the news, the army will not be able to come back; second, I think the key is to find a way to lure Freas out of the city of Santa Quentin, if we can create an environment or trouble that makes him have to send troops to recruit, then we may be able to deal with the remaining part of the army in Santa Quentin, Marquis Solomon, what do you think of this idea"Kraussa seems to be back to the way he was when he fought Solomon.

"I think it's a good idea. Solomon replied briskly, "I also think that at that time, in addition to controlling the teleportation hall, the biggest key is to make Freas unable to control all the guards legions, otherwise under his command, there is a king magic array to fear, and we will not be able to win." Moreover, I have some additions, if we want to draw out Freas, in addition to having a sufficient 'reason', we must from now on show deference, so that both he and Margaret can be reassured that we have yielded, otherwise if they perceive something, they only need to temporarily withdraw some of their forces from the battlefield of the Eastern Beast Plain, and then we will not be able to achieve our goal. ”

"But how can we reassure them? Won't we save Benjamin and Austin?"

"No, no. The two of them were always there to rescue. And it was to save the two of them. Let the Magrittes believe that we have succumbed. And the best way to make her believe is to return the 'teaching property'. Solomon said.

"Returning the property? This, this is impossible. The Duke of Medici said in surprise, "Even if you let us pretend to return some of them to paralyze them, it will be very difficult to do. ”

"No, you misunderstood me. In the process of converting to the church, you should not only have nothing to lose, but you should be able to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune. Solomon said.

Even Krausa was stunned. I couldn't understand Solomon's words.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the so-called 'church property', with the expulsion of those church personnel and the confiscation of account books, they do not have detailed records in their hands, at most only a general record, such as the number of gold coins, the number of jewels, and the number of square kilometers of land. We can use our brains on this, and what we hand over is not necessarily the existing fertile land and good places. As far as I know, there are many public lands or wastelands with unclear property rights in various places. And that can be counted on Margaret's treatment, do you know what I mean?"

"Good way. "The Duke of the Medici came to his senses.

In Asturias, and in other countries, there are such communal lands and wastelands, which are cultivated by many landless or landless peasants.

Solomon's idea was to let the dukes and other nobles take possession of the lands, and then return them to the church as 'ecclesiastical property', so that they would not actually lose anything and still benefit from the land consolidation. And to the poor people who have lost their land, you can sue them, this qiē is to follow Magritte's command to hate Magritte and the church.

Even if the Church has any doubts about the returned 'property', it is necessary to check it carefully, because they have lost the previous details, they can only try to send the clergy who previously served in various dioceses back to check on memory, at least they can delay the preparation for a considerable time.

And to see the nobles succumb and hand over their ecstasy was enough to paralyze Margaret and Freas.

"Awesome. At least I can't think of this trick. Kraussa looked at Solomon with some jealousy, "But then, the reason for luring Freas and the Guards to attack, the orcs of the West Beast Plains are actually a good reason." ”

"Freyas doesn't have to be fooled. Solomon shook his head and said, "No matter how fierce the orcs are, it is only a side trouble, but it is easy to arouse Freas's alarm, if I were him, I would immediately send the legion back to help, it would be bad for us." ”

"And how are you going to induce him to attack?" said Kraussa.

"Internal troubles. Solomon said, "Only internal troubles can make Freas have to pay attention." ”

"Do you want us to make a move outside of St. Quentin?" Klausa wondered, "but in this case, we will not be able to help you control St. Quentin, and with your new legion, you can defeat the defenders left in St. Quentine?"

"No, my plan is to use someone else as bait. Solomon finally said his true plan, "On my side, I may be able to use the Free City to create a friction, and then expel the garrison sent by the Kingdom to guard the Mithril Mine near the Free City, and lure Freas to deal with it." ”

"That's a reason. The Duke of Medici raised his eyebrows and said, "If something happens there, it will also make people suspect that there is an orc, but it still seems to be only a side trouble, if Freyas is too ruthless to ignore it......."

"So, if only you could force that Duke Aldrich to raise his army. Solomon said, "No matter what method you use, as long as you can force the Duke Aldrich to take the initiative to raise an army, and then take the initiative to raise an army in the name of the Qing monarch and the church, and march along the continental road to St. Quentin, and more 'victories' along the way, I believe that Margaret and Freas cannot ignore it." ”

Everyone looked at each other, and had to admit that this was a good idea, you can ignore the troubles, but if the powerful lord takes the initiative to march towards St. Quentin, you can't ignore it, right?

As long as Freyas is out of the city, the three dukes can join forces, even if they can't defeat the Guards Legion, but there is absolutely no problem in trapping Freas.

In this way, Solomon's new legion had a chance to take advantage of the city of St. Quentin.

"But what if that were the case, and Freas wouldn't send troops himself?" Klausa did not completely think that Solomon's idea was not flawed.

"This is Plan A. Solomon replied, "If Freas persists in refusing to come out of St. Quentin, I have a plan B." (To be continued......)
