After Charlotte gave the order, the meeting ended.
The coalition forces were divided into two groups. Baron Chalon led 5,000 men north, while the remaining troops were still stationed near Beigang for daily training.
Training an army of nobles is a must.
Although there are 30,000 people, most of them are actually levies brought by the nobles. They may have been farmers in the territory before taking up weapons. If they are not trained, their combat effectiveness is quite impressive.
Of course, apart from the standing army with extraordinary strength, most of the armies of this era were pretty much the same.
After the nobles left, Charlotte returned to the study in the Earl's Mansion, and not long after, Sebastian, who had received the hint in advance, also came in.
"Master, what are your orders?"
He came to Charlotte and asked respectfully.
"I didn't seem to see anyone from the Vicomte Romain-Four family at the venue just now. What's going on with them?"
Charlotte asked.
She actually wanted to ask this question just now at the meeting.
However, none of the nobles in the parliament hall talked about this viscount family who started out as pirates. Charlotte was so focused on thinking about the movements of the rebels that she forgot about it for a while.
Sebastian looked strange and explained:
"Master, I asked this question at the first noble meeting I convened, and the answer I received was a bit subtle..."
"The Romain-For family is relatively marginalized in Castells. They almost never participate in meetings in the territory, and they are also disliked by other nobles. Apart from regularly turning over vassal taxes, they hardly interact with any nobles."
Charlotte was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said:
"Never attend meetings? But they were all present at the dinner I held before."
Sebastian's expression became even weirder:
"Master, this is also a strange point for me. To be honest, I originally thought they also chose to rebel."
"However, they later sent a separate envoy to visit the Earl's Mansion privately and asked to see you. After being declined by me, they left."
"It's just that although Roman Foer's envoy left, warships were later sent to help defend the North Port. If you look far from the window sill, you should be able to see their black ship on the other side of the port..."
After listening to Sebastian's words, Charlotte stood up decisively.
She walked to the window sill and looked towards the North Port in the distance. Sure enough, she saw several Karak sailing ships with black sails cruising majestically on the sea level.
The vampire's eyesight is already very good, and Charlotte's visual ability now is far better than before. She can even clearly see the busy sailors on the sailboat, as well as the dark-muzzled rock cannons on the side of the ship.
"This family... is quite interesting."
Looking away, Charlotte touched her chin and said.
Sebastian nodded:
"Yes, after Nice was hijacked, we even received news from the Mercenary Association that someone had seen ships of the Romain-For family in Laglis. For this reason, I also suspected that they also Allied with the rebels.”
"However, I later found out that they actually went to Laglis to look for you."
"This family... is a little strange. Although they don't have a strong sense of belonging to the Castel Territory, they seem to be very interested in you. If my guess is correct, after the news of your appearance spreads, it will not be a few days. Maybe someone from their family will come.”
After listening to Sebastian's words, Charlotte was thoughtful.
The Romain-Fol family was a naturalized pirate and was incompatible with the nobility of Castells. Even the family's roots were on the island.
Not only that, their island used to be an island belonging to the Roman Principality, and it was normal for the entire family to lack belonging to Castel.
But after hearing what Sebastian said, Charlotte recalled her interactions with this family at the Earl's Mansion dinner, and it seemed that this family did have a somewhat subtle attitude towards her.
Of course, this does not mean that the other party has bad intentions.
Charlotte even felt that the other party seemed to be more kind than ill-intentioned.
You know, they were the first to identify the assassins in the Earl's Mansion.
"Well, let's ignore them for now. Since we have sent a fleet to escort, we have at least made our stance clear. Sebastian, I have a question that I am a little curious about. Nice has been kidnapped. Are you not worried at all?"
Charlotte waved her hand, and then asked curiously.
Sebastian smiled and said:
"I might have been worried before, but now that you're awake, I won't worry anymore."
Charlotte:…
"You're getting better and better at flattering me."
"Ashamed, I'm just telling the truth... Forget about Nice, as long as you return, you won't be afraid of the rebellion in Gris!"
"Okay, don't put your hat on me, I have a task for you to do."
Sebastian looked solemn:
"Please give your orders."
"Go and check the merchant ships of the Tulip Earldom recently to see if there is anything wrong."
Charlotte said.
Sebastian's heart moved slightly:
"Do you really doubt that the Third Prince will take action?"
Charlotte picked up the milk poured on the table, took a sip, and said:
"Of course, that's the third prince who can hire people to ambush me despite his taboos. I have to be careful."
Sebastian said worriedly:
"Master, if that is really the case, the situation in Castel may be in danger. Although your power is powerful, it is not convenient for you to show your holiness in front of others. And relying on secular power alone... I am afraid that you cannot compete with Bol. The German Principality contended.”
Charlotte smiled slightly:
"When did I say it was only Castel's strength?"
"Um?"
The corners of Sebastian's eyes twitched and his expression moved slightly.
However, Charlotte did not continue to explain:
"Okay, let's go investigate the news about the Tulip Earldom, and...if anyone from the Romain-Fol family comes, bring them to see me immediately."
Although Sebastian was a little curious, he finally bowed respectfully:
"I obey your orders."
Sebastian took the mission and left.
Charlotte drank the sweet milk in her cup and sighed.
A few months have passed since I woke up, and my territory is really a mess. As soon as I wake up, there is a rebel lake face, which is really confusing.
Fortunately, although she was caught off guard, she was not without countermeasures...
Could the rebels be supported by the Boulder family and the third prince?
Okay, she also has chess pieces on the Nes clan's side.
And compared to the rebellion in her own territory, to be honest, Charlotte was more concerned about her "traveling" while she was sleeping.
】
That memory was too clear, so clear that it didn’t even look like a dream. Charlotte’s “awakening” was caught off guard, leaving no evidence to judge whether it was a dream or reality.
The only thing that could be evidence was probably the nightgown she was wearing that went back to the past with her time travel.
However, when Charlotte woke up, she didn't find the nightgown she had put on before going to bed.
She was naked in the coffin, wearing nothing...
She was startled at first, thinking that her clothes had not traveled back with her, but later she discovered that there was a layer of powder under her body that looked like it had been burned out by flames, much like a disintegrated nightgown.
Not only that, the moment Charlotte stood up, the entire coffin was filled with silk and velvet, soothing flowers and sleeping roses, all of which disintegrated in an instant.
Charlotte didn't know whether this was related to her time travel or her successful promotion to the second level of Silver Moon, but she was really embarrassed when she came out of the coffin naked.
It can only be said that it is a good thing that the sleeping place chosen is a secret room, and there is no manpower to guard it, otherwise...it would be embarrassing just thinking about it.
However, regardless of whether the experience in the Elf Era was a dream or reality, one thing Charlotte is certain of.
That is, after she woke up, she had officially stepped onto the second level of Silver Moon and became a Blood Viscount!
Perhaps because of the "Blood Sacred Code", a plug-in that allows her to exert the power of the gods, the joy and sense of accomplishment brought to Charlotte by being promoted to Silver Moon are not as strong as she imagined.
However, Charlotte could clearly feel that her physical fitness and magic power had greatly improved.
If there was a possibility that extraordinary beings at the Star level could be killed by mortals using ordinary weapons in a sneak attack, then this possibility was completely eliminated at the Silver Moon level.
Especially physical fitness.
I wouldn't say it's really invulnerable, but it's close to it.
The second level of Silver Moon means an all-round transformation of physical fitness. The extraordinary power has strengthened the body to the limit and begun to overflow. This is how the source power released by the extraordinary knight and the magic power commanded by the mage come from.
What is reflected in the Vampire Clan is the complete integration of body and magic power, which enhances the Vampire Clan's recovery ability to an incredible level.
To make a more striking comparison, Charlotte's regeneration ability after physical injury can almost catch up with her previous bloodline rampage.
As long as she doesn't hit the vital point with one blow, she cannot be killed.
This is a bit like the extraordinary knight who inspired the source power, but the vampire's recovery ability is stronger than that of the extraordinary knight. Not only that, he also has magic power that the extraordinary knight cannot master...
Not only that, with the promotion to Silver Moon, Charlotte's bloodline seems to have become stronger, and her connection with the "Blood Scripture" has become closer.
Even the divine power of blood in the "Blood Sacred Book" seems to have become easier to mobilize.
Feeling the powerful power within her body, Charlotte was quite satisfied.
A plug-in is a plug-in after all, and true strength is the foundation and the lower limit for ensuring safety.
However, Charlotte currently has no interest in finding a place to try her new power.
She is more concerned about the situation in Nice than this.
There is no chance to verify the "time travel" while sleeping.
Although he was confused, he could only put it behind him for the time being.
As a breeder, Charlotte felt that she should still care about the life and death of that guy in Nice.
Hmm... Although judging from the soul mark, the other party should still be alive and well.
Thinking of this, Charlotte sank into consciousness and communicated with the holy symbol mark of the servant's final oath...
