CHAPTER XXII
"This, the most unexpected thing, I didn't expect it to be Charlotte who betrayed him. That is, this thing was expected. After all, without the permission of the king, in the absence of large forces, and only if they are divided internally, we will have a chance. Debang said, a little depressed and wanting to laugh, "In seven days, I will go to the royal capital to see what Charlotte is going to do." Do you really want to cooperate with yourself to deal with Austin? ”
"But do you think it's reliable for love to hate?" asked Cooper.
This reason is very unreliable. To the surprise of Cooper's answer, Debang did not believe this reason at all, but the reason is not important at this time, the important thing is the plan later. On his side, he completely wants to curb Austin's rapid development and form an alliance, but he has no clue, and now someone comes out, which may not be a good thing. Anyway, the next things are all judged by themselves, and they don't care about the other party's so-called other purposes.
Charlotte, who had left Debon, walked slowly, suddenly put her hand on her chest, and said: "Your Highness, this time is my test for you, I will establish this alliance, I want to persecute your forces, and then, be with you forever." I really like you, so, please allow me to be willful. ”
Seven days later, the royal capital Xia Feng Inn.
Debang came to Xia Feng's inn and saw the other seven nobles, as well as sitting there looking at Charlotte from afar, and took a breath of cold air.
"...... didn't expect that there were seven of the ten dukes of the kingdom, did Charlotte really pull all the opposition forces over? What kind of reason did he use, but it was really surprising that so many people came.
"Don't you need to cover it up here?" asked Debang cautiously.
Charlotte turned her head and said, "Xia Feng Chamber of Commerce, although it is a force established by His Highness, but here is my force, and they are all loyal to me. Therefore, if there is a really safe place in the royal capital, this is the safest place. ”
Hearing this, several of the dukes frowned slightly, although they had long felt that the rise of the Xia Feng Chamber of Commerce was inextricably linked to the town, so everyone more or less felt that the Xia Feng Chamber of Commerce was supported by the town, but at this moment, it was really certain that this mysterious big chamber of commerce was really supported by the town, and it was still a little shocking.
"Miss Charlotte is really a heroine among women, and I have also supported the Chamber of Commerce, but unfortunately, it is not a climate, and a single time can be called both talent and appearance. One said.
"Well" Charlotte did not have the slightest modesty, and also did not intend to continue on this topic, after seeing that everyone had arrived, she said, "Everyone, since we have arrived, then I will introduce the situation on the side of His Highness Austin, I want you to understand first, what kind of force we are facing." No matter what plan we make in the future, we must know the town to be viable. ”
"First of all, as far as you are most concerned, the power of the army, 30,000, the army, within a month after the start of the war, can be gathered again to 70,000 soldiers, although it is a small town, but the scale is no less than the existence of the royal capital. Moreover, the production of weapons unique to the town, muskets, has reached 500 a day, and in wartime, it can be increased to 3,000 a day. The training of the soldiers is absolutely strict, and they basically have knight-level lethality. Charlotte said, clapping her hands, and a man approached from the door, armed with eight muskets.
The first impression of the curtain is exquisite, like a handicraft, one person took one, although I guessed that this should be a musket, but how to use it, it is not clear.
The man said, "My lord, I have already arranged it, you can test the gun." ”
After speaking, he slapped a few times at the wall, and one wall actually fell, and there were several targets standing in the distance. Each target is covered with a well-suited suit of armor.
Charlotte raised her hand and snapped a few shots, and the rake in the distance fell in response. The seven of them were shocked by the loud noise. The two men ran over and looked at the target, which was torn apart by the musket, and the armor on it, like the target, was torn apart.
When they had finished reading, the man cleaned the place, set up a few targets again, and said, "A few grand dukes can try the targets." ”
Under the guidance of that man, Debang knew how to use this thing, so he fired a shot, his hand shook, and he almost got out of his hand, the second shot was a lot more stable, and the third shot was already able to hit the target.
"How?" someone asked.
Debang said: "The power is huge, the accuracy is high, and after a little training, you can indeed hit and kill knight-level existences." This equipment is the whole army, and if you exceed 10,000, you will be invincible. ”
Debang is the most outstanding in military affairs among these people, so in this area, they all believe in Debang's judgment. He looked at Charlotte and asked, "What does Your Excellency want us to show this for, so that you are not afraid that we will back down?"
"I know I want everyone to know that we are facing an enemy that cannot be solved by force. Now the equipment of the army can sweep the world. If you use force to persecut, you will find your own way to death. Charlotte said, the others were silent, is it true, I basically have a guess on this side, it is because Austin's development is too fast, so there is the idea of joint confrontation, but, after all, I still underestimated Austin, and then looked at Charlotte with some expectation.
Since force is not enough, then assassinate. With Charlotte as the internal response, if you want to assassinate, it is not difficult.
"Your Highness has told me that the right of a king is within a thousand miles, ten paces away. Thousands of miles away, the majesty of the king is not there, and within ten steps, it is vulnerable. However, my condition is that I will not harm His Highness Austin, so the means of assassination cannot be used, and I will not compromise on this. Charlotte clearly saw what they were thinking, and said solemnly.
Everyone was thoughtful when they heard the previous words, but Charlotte's words made them dispel this thought, after all, Charlotte's killing intent made people's hearts tense. Even the fierce generals on the battlefield were still shocked, and when they thought of Charlotte's invitation to him, the elusive ability she showed also dispelled this idea.
Charlotte's killing intent flashed, and then said calmly: "Moreover, the town, it is not that there are no weaknesses, on the contrary, his weaknesses are very large. If you can do it, the whole town will be paralyzed. ”
"What weakness?"
