CHAPTER XLIV
Charlotte's sudden appearance did not cause too many changes, and everyone did not show any unusual attitude towards Charlotte's takeover of the town, and all accepted it as a matter of course.
This can't be a simple matter of prestige, when Charlotte's so-called defection, Li Feng did not arrange anyone to take over Charlotte's position, but took over by himself. So when Charlotte came back, she didn't offend anyone's interests.
This is the tacit understanding between Li Feng and Charlotte. Li Feng left with confidence, the saint was also a little envious of the tacit understanding between them, even if the tacit understanding between herself and the Pope did not reach this level, more or less because of the struggle for the right to speak.
"Your Highness really trusts Charlotte. The holy woman spoke.
"It's okay. ”
Li Feng didn't feel how much he trusted anyone, and now if he didn't stabilize the realm, he was afraid that he would need to go to the god of the underworld. And there is no one else who can take over here except Charlotte. When the original owner of this body is gone, it is Charlotte who controls the town. And after finding himself who lost his memory, he immediately handed over all the power, does such a person still need to be trusted?
These Li Feng naturally wouldn't talk to this person who met for the first time, although he knew that this person was quite familiar with himself, but the familiarity without memory was empty. Regarding the original owner's interpersonal relationships, Li Feng didn't want to interfere too much. However, it can't be done.
Watching His Highness leave with the Holy Maiden, Gray saw the returning Charlotte, and instead of immediately looking at her as before, he looked at her and said, "Lord Charlotte, although Your Highness trusts you to take care of the affairs of the town instead of him. However, you still need to report back to me about what you've been doing these days. ”
Charlotte nodded and said, "Yes, I'll talk to you later." ”
Gray heard that Charlotte did not refuse, so he said nothing more and retreated.
After the previous fight, Gray also knows how big the gap between himself and Charlotte is. I don't think I dare to say that the whole kingdom is a small town, and I know everything that happens in it. However, when Charlotte left and the like lurked, he didn't find out any news, and even what Charlotte was doing when she left until Charlotte came back, he didn't find out anything. I couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.
Compared with Li Feng's momentum, the king's army seemed to be a lot more decadent. As the king had said, if the battle was not won, there was no chance of victory. For the church's interference, it is not unexpected, even if Austin has a good relationship with the saint and has the support of the saint, but even the saint is not a one-handed cover in the church. At that time, I already felt that Austin had an unannounced treaty with the church. However, through contact with the Pope, there was this battle, and the Holy Maiden would make a move, which was also within her own plan, and what really made herself fail was to underestimate Austin's strength after all. It's just that the success and failure are unacceptable.
Late reinforcements, insufficient food and grass, the army of the church looked around on all sides, and the king's army was no longer able to fight.
"Hahaha, I thought I could control everything, but in the end, it was still a bad move. Fourth brother, fourth brother, it's infuriating!" The king crumpled the wine glass in his hand into pieces, unwilling, this expedition is not suitable, but it is a helpless move, the development speed of the fourth brother is amazing, I only need a year, I can completely dominate these people, but, a year, can make the fourth child enough to confront everyone head-on. After a big gamble, yourself, what is left, alas.
Emilia entered the main hall, and when she saw the drunken king, she couldn't help but wrinkle, threw away the flask in the king's hand, and asked, "What's the matter? ”
"Advantage? Where does the advantage come from? The fourth brother is under the threat of the empire, only half of the troops are used, and with only the resources of the town, he can defeat us, and now that he has obtained the resources of the church, where do I have a chance of winning. The king smiled self-deprecatingly, "The forces that have been put together with great difficulty for a year, after this war, each has its own ghosts. ”
"The church is not a saint's, how much can she support Austin, he lacks resources and is just a small town after all, so the army of 10,000 people is the limit, do you really have no chance of winning?"
"If the Empire had taken Austin seriously, it would not have stood by in this war. The king took a sip of wine, looked at the beautiful girl in front of him, and gently stretched out his hand, "In terms of timing, who can compare to Bai Tingyue?"
"You are on the same level as Bai Tingyue, if he can do it, how can you not do it?"
"So what, even if Austin loses the town, they can just find a place, their terrible place is not a place, but people, any place, he can develop, this is his most terrible place. ”
Obviously, a year ago, it was still a piece of waste, hidden so deeply.
"If you have been beaten by Austin, you can breathe a sigh of relief now, after all, he returned to the temple with the Holy Maiden, and he will not be able to get out for at least half a year. You've got another half a year. ”
"How is it possible, he has just won a big victory now, it is a good opportunity to expand his power, how can he leave?" The king was a little puzzled, but then thought of the strength that Austin showed on the battlefield, and nodded, "It should be because his body can't bear it because his realm has improved too quickly." Who's going to succeed Austin?"
Charlotte, who was originally betrayed, suddenly went back and took Austin's position, Austin didn't say anything, and directly gave up the position to Charlotte, this trust is enviable. Amelia said, then looked at the king, and said, "Charlotte herself is also an extremely difficult person to deal with, as a dark clan, under the encirclement and suppression of the church, it has established such a force, and it is impossible to say that it is above Austin." ”
The king suddenly grabbed Amelia's hand and said, "I have experienced countless battlefields, and I have never felt desperate when fighting with the god of war, Bai Tingyue, this is an all-round crushing. The training, morale, and equipment of the army are not at the same level at all, and I can't imagine that an army can reach such a level, and one by one they regard death as home, not the crazy kind, but like the knights who want to have this high-level honor, everyone is. The original barren town itself was a place of exile, but now the town, even if it has experienced war, is an existence that is not inferior to the royal capital, a small town, there are these talents of Charlotte, Gray, Kalian, and Brutus, Charlotte alone plays with many nobles in the kingdom in the palm of her hand, Kalian and Brewster are only two thousand people, nearly 100,000 people are contained, and they can't converge for a long time, Gray, in the empire, is holding Bai Tingyue back. It's really hard to see the odds. You'd better prepare for the worst. ”
"Prepare for the worst? This kind of thing, when the two of us join forces and decide to seize the throne, aren't we already prepared for the worst? Amelia smiled and said, "Don't be so decadent. We have nothing, and what we lose in the end is just the most useless life. ”
"Hahaha, it seems that it really makes people beat their demons, and they have lost their hearts on this worthless throne. Thanks to you. The king smiled, threw the glass in his hand, and said, "Yes, what have we to lose?" It's just a life. ”
