CHAPTER XXV

Charlotte left here and said to the duke's men: "Your Highness will soon know about my rebellion, and the subsequent response will be unpredictable. Go back and tell the Duke that you are ready to do it. ”

The news of Charlotte's rebellion, just as Charlotte expected, quickly spread to Li Feng, Li Feng was a little incredulous, but since Gray had lost the news and Charlotte had defected, there was no one available to him.

"Your Highness, it is impossible for Sister Charlotte to betray you, please investigate carefully. When Karen heard the news, she came to the main hall and said.

"Well, I'm sure Charlotte didn't mutiny, but, just in case, we need to adjust a lot of things, deal with some things, in short, just prepare for the worst, and it's better to have a false alarm than to be caught off guard. Li Feng said, Karen nodded, and then asked suspiciously.

"Your Highness, at this time, who will replace Sister Charlotte?"

"Charlotte's rights are very big, and I will replace them for the time being, Gray's rights are also accepted, the army's words, for the time being, do not move, in addition, the trade route is estimated to be unkept, Karen, prepare, redesign, install the artillery on it, and at the same time, design the equipment that can split the waves in front, although it will take some more time, but, I heard a group of pirates on the sea a while ago, and I wonder what these guys are doing here, someone has already set up the game in advance. ”

Li Feng said, with the understanding of the situation, it is expected that Ka Lian's face is a little unsightly, if the situation develops like this, no one can grasp so many weaknesses except for a few people who can target the key points like this. Of the few, Charlotte was the only choice.

"Your Highness, I haven't thought too much. Karlen still can't believe that her sister Charlotte would betray the town.

"With Charlotte as an imaginary enemy, I can't think about it too much. However, the other party was too accurate, in fact, when Charlotte left to do the mission, I found that our power here is too centralized, the reserve strength of the officials is not enough, and Hawthorn can continue to operate without Hawthorn, and now there are fewer Charlotte and Gray one after another, and many things can no longer be known at the first time, that is, in terms of intelligence processing, there is no one who can replace Gray. Li Feng said, the trade route must have been cut off, and there are pirates on the sea route, even if they can protect themselves, but how much time will they have to delay, and all of this is a small problem, although they use the Chamber of Commerce to develop business, there is a bourgeois sprout, but after all, this is still a backward feudal society, as a lord, he has great rights, once he stops, the current treasury is enough to last for more than a year, so everything she does, there is no use, but she can't stop, she is now blocked by the economy, "As long as the army is used, this stalemate will be broken, but presumably Charlotte has already prepared, so that the last hole card is gone, the army does not move, and no one dares to act rashly. However, since you want to play, then I'll play with you. ”

Speaking of this, Li Feng smiled and said, "Since you have formed a coalition army, then I will destroy them." ”

"The army, Your Highness will not use it, because as long as the army does not move, no force will dare to invade the town. On the premise of not using the army, His Highness does not have many chips to use, encircling and suppressing bandits and pirates, this His Highness will do it, but it will not be the focus, because everyone knows that these people are just the arrangement of the big forces, and if they don't get rid of the big forces, these things, even if they are eliminated, there will be others soon. Therefore, His Highness will directly attack the Grand Dukes. Charlotte said.

"What, he dares to attack us?"

"Ladies and gentlemen, do not be alarmed. Charlotte said calmly, "What I'm talking about is not assassination or anything else, but division and co-optation." His Royal Highness once said such a sentence, the world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit. Your Highness will promise benefits to some of you to the detriment of all. ”

"This one is not going to happen. Debang said.

"Prince Austin is our common enemy, how can we collaborate with the enemy. All the nobles said, Charlotte smiled disdainfully, and said, "Since everyone is like this, it's fine." If someone betrays, we have a way to make your life worse than death. ”

Debang returned to the territory, found the butler trembling on the side, felt something was wrong, and walked in. Looking at the man sitting in the lord's hall, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, in just over a month, there were two uninvited people sitting in his seat.

"Your Highness Austin, how did you come to me?" said Debon.

"I think Charlotte should have told you, didn't she?" Li Feng said, then glanced at the butler, who went out and closed the door, "I'm here to bring you something good." ”

"No, please go out. Debang said politely.

"It's impossible and unnecessary, why do you want to organize an alliance against me, and obey Charlotte's words. Isn't it just to get benefits, I don't know what you want, but as a veteran general who has been on the battlefield for a long time, I personally admire it very much. There are 500 muskets and some ammunition here, and this is just my greeting gift. You don't need to do anything, of course, you can also refuse, but, next time, these five hundred guns, whose muzzles are pointed, it is not clear. ”

"Are you threatening me?" said Debang unkindly.

"Yes, I will be the general trend, those who follow me will prosper, and those who oppose me will perish! No one can change it, you can't do it, your alliance can't do it, Charlotte, it can't work. Li Feng said coldly, looked at Debang and asked, "Are you willing to accept these things?" ”

Murderous, murderous, Debang knows that Austin's words are not exaggerated, maybe he didn't think he had such ability before, but this month's layout, if you can't see the gap, your age will really be in vain.

However, even if there is a huge difference in strength, so what? Debang smiled disdainfully and said, "Your Highness, I, refuse. ”

"I thought Your Excellency was a smart man. Li Feng sighed, but this result is not unexpected, this person is undoubtedly the most difficult one to deal with, and he didn't intend for the other party to be so obedient, just to plant a nail in the other party's heart, this condition can be rejected by himself, but can his alliance refuse?

And this, Debang saw Li Feng's decisive departure, and quickly figured it out.

Li Feng turned around and left, but Debang didn't intend to let Li Feng leave so simply, he stepped out, pulled out the sword hanging on the wall, and attacked Li Feng directly.

Looking at the broken sword in his hand, Debang suddenly felt that his alliance really had no chance of winning.

Charlotte was thinking, because even if she knew that His Highness would win over the nobles, but if the means were to persuade him to do so, who would the first person choose? Charlotte's mind flashed, and she stood up suddenly, His Royal Highness must be the first, the first choice is Debang, among these people, Debang's ability and prestige are the highest, and he chose it because only he can really make this alliance combined, but such a person is not a person who can be coerced and enticed. It is not appropriate to choose him, but as a target, he is the most suitable person, Debang, is in danger.

"Hope is coming. Charlotte ran out as fast as she could.
