"Crazy! It's crazy to come to the Gliss family! They don't even abide by the rules of war. Do they want to be enemies of all nobles?" Lan
"Shame! What a disgrace to the nobles! Your Majesty, the rebels' barbaric behavior shows that they do not take the "Sacred Code" seriously and must be severely punished!"
"You have to pay a price for coming to the Gliss family!"
"Your Majesty the Earl! Our Gerard family is willing to lead the troops to fight first!"
"Our Perrin family is also willing to be a pioneer!"
In the camp of the commander of the Castel coalition forces, the nobles who learned the news that the envoy had been killed were so indignant that they almost exploded. Every one of them was noisy and wanted to lead the army to fight.
In the continent of Miria, ever since Charlemagne I, the founder of the Yunet Empire, established the aristocratic system, in the past thousand years, as the biggest beneficiaries of the aristocratic system, the human aristocrats have long regarded the glory of the nobility as extremely important. It no longer emphasizes order and rules all the time.
The destructive power of extraordinary power is too strong, and the aristocratic class does not have so many people to consume in the war. In addition, various aristocratic families have been married for thousands of years, and there is me among you, and you among me, so in the war During this period, the nobles will try not to kill anyone. Lan
It is normal to win the war, capture the opponent alive, and then offer a suitable ransom price to let the opponent go.
I won today, but you may win tomorrow. Keeping a line between each other is the common sense of war among the nobles of Miria.
But today, seeing that the rebels killed the envoy without hesitation, all the nobles in the North were angry.
Without him, in the human world of Miria, those who are qualified to negotiate as envoys in war must also be nobles.
In other words, the Lyglis family beheaded a nobleman who was negotiating.
For the nobles, there is no doubt that the method of killing the envoys of the Gris family seriously violated the war rules that have been agreed upon by the nobles for thousands of years. It is an approach that is neither decent nor honorable.
For a time, it could be said that the tent was full of excitement and rage. Lan
Of course, it is unknown whether the nobles of the North are really angry because their glory has been tarnished, or whether they have become confident and eager to perform meritorious deeds after seeing the huge gap in strength between the enemy and ourselves.
Perhaps, both.
Charlotte sat on the main seat, watching quietly as the nobles angrily rebuked the savagery of the Lyglis family and offered themselves to fight.
Perhaps because as a time traveler, she did not have the aristocratic concept of honor that had been cultivated since birth like the nobles of Miria, and her reaction was not as strong as the nobles.
Angry?
There are some, but that's okay. There are too many stories about Blue Star's ancient formations killing envoys.
But the messenger who came forward was really unlucky. Lan
Originally, negotiating as a pre-war envoy was a very easy and honorable thing for the Miria nobles. Both warring parties would often send the envoys back politely. When choosing the person, Charlotte still remembered that there was a lot of family competition. Well, who knew that he would even lose his life in the end.
Hmm...Which family does it come from?
"Your Excellency Baron Angus, which family did the sacrificed messenger... belong to?"
Charlotte looked at the coalition commander aside and asked.
Although she is nominally the supreme commander of the coalition forces, she often just sits on the sidelines and does not take the initiative to intervene in the command of the army.
This march, the army's route, schedule, possible battle plans, etc. were all formulated by the commander-in-chief, Baron Angus, Viscount Len-Castell, and other nobles.
Leave professional matters to professionals, and Charlotte knew that she had no experience in commanding an army. Lan
As a lord, all she needs to do is learn how to use people. She is not a "micro-management master", so there is no need to increase the difficulty for herself.
For example, when it came to sending envoys to negotiate, she just nodded in agreement and did not personally order anyone to go.
After all, in her opinion, there was no need for negotiation in this war, which must be fought and must wipe out Castel's rebel strength and the Blood Demon Order's infiltration forces.
"Your Excellency, the Earl, is a member of the Lenn-Castle family, the nephew of Viscount Lenn, and the Knight of Bale."
Baron Angus said in a deep voice.
Charlotte:…
Nephew of Viscount Len-Castell? Lan
Charlotte couldn't help but look at the old Viscount on the other side, and saw that he had a gloomy expression, his eyes were red, and his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Looking at the other party's expression of anger mixed with pain, Charlotte felt somewhat guilty. After all... she didn't want to negotiate at all. The so-called sending an envoy was just to comply with the wishes of the nobles.
"Your Majesty the Viscount, my condolences..."
After thinking about it, Charlotte finally spoke to comfort her.
Viscount Len Castel took a deep breath and said in a heavy voice:
"Your Majesty, thank you for your comfort. Bale died for the honor of the nobility. He died with honor..."
"The Laglis family betrayed the lord and desecrated the honor of the nobility. They are no longer worthy of being the noble lords of the North. Please order the troops to destroy them!" Lan
"Start the war! Counter the rebellion!"
Other nobles also agreed.
Looking at the indignant nobles, Charlotte looked around, only to find that Baron Angus, the commander-in-chief, frowned slightly, seeming to be thinking about something.
Charlotte's heart moved slightly:
"His Excellency Baron Angus, what are you thinking about?"
Baron Angus raised his head, hesitated, and said respectfully:
"Lord Earl, I feel...there seems to be something wrong with the rebels." Lan
"Oh? Something's wrong? What's wrong?"
Charlotte raised her eyebrows slightly and asked.
Baron Angus then replied:
"The scouts we sent reported that although the rebels are large in number, their overall strength is much weaker than ours, and most of them are just conscripts."
"If we fight head-on, I don't think they are our opponents at all."
"However, after we approached, they did not retreat..."
"This is not normal. Although they built a simple defensive camp by the river, it was not enough for them to fight against an army of nearly 30,000 people. Not only that... the scouts also reported that no cavalry troops from the Gliss family were found." Lan
"The cavalry troops of the Lyglis family are the elite of the rebels, and they were also the elite of our Castel's foreign wars. The main force was recruited but did not retreat, and the mobile elites were nowhere to be seen. This is... abnormal."
"My Lord Earl, the rebels... I'm afraid there is a conspiracy!"
Baron Angus's voice was not loud.
But after listening to his words, the indignant nobles quickly calmed down.
They looked at each other and saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.
"Your Excellency Baron, from what you have seen, what are the rebels planning?"
Viscount Len Castel asked with a frown. Lan
Baron Angus shook his head:
"I have no idea."
"Honestly, I can't think of any other plans for the rebels... In the face of absolute strength, everything is false. Even if the Gliss family has cavalry, we also have reinforcements from Tulip..."
"Tulip's reinforcements are Boulder's elite standing troops. With their support, the rebels have no chance of winning... However, their current performance seems to be too calm."
After listening to Baron Angus's words, the nobles quickly fell into a buzzing discussion.
"Your Excellency Baron, do you think... could it be that the rebels hired Blazing Sun?"
A young nobleman boldly guessed. Lan
In the world of Miria, extraordinary power is the decisive factor in war, and the nobles naturally think of the more powerful extraordinary.
Baron Angus shook his head:
"It's impossible. His Majesty the King has already issued an order. Any extraordinary person whose strength reaches the level of Blazing Sun can obtain the title of earl after loyal to the kingdom. Some people who are originally nobles may even become fief earls. The Gliss family can't do it. It’s the Viscount family, there’s no way they can hire Chiyang.”
"What if they are the mercenaries of East Yunet? The Black Land of East Union is a paradise for mercenaries. There are many extraordinary mercenaries whose strength reaches the blazing sun. The territory of the Gliss family is far away from the Black Land of East Union. The land is not too far away, could it be that they hired powerful extraordinary mercenaries?"
Another nobleman guessed.
Baron Angus continued to shake his head:
"It's also impossible. Ours is not a kingdom-level war. Let alone whether the Laglis family can afford the sky-high price of hiring Blazing Sun. Even if they successfully hire Blazing Sun, they are bound by the "Crescent Kingdom Lords Conflict Code". At best, Chiyang can only protect the safety of its employees, and will never easily set foot on the secular battlefield..." Lan
After hearing what Baron Angus said, the nobles' frown deepened.
After thinking for a while, Baron Angus's expression suddenly changed slightly.
"Your Majesty the Earl..."
He looked at Charlotte and hesitated to speak.
Looking at his solemn expression, Charlotte guessed something in her heart and asked:
"Your Excellency Baron, just say whatever you have in mind."
Baron Angus took a deep breath and said solemnly: Lan
"My lord, I have a question to ask you..."
"Are you really sure that Count Gaston's army is on our side?"
As soon as these words came out, the nobles were all stunned.
But soon, their expressions changed slightly and they fell into a commotion.
Yeah, there's definitely something wrong with the rebels acting so strangely.
The strength and movements of the main force of the rebels are not a secret. The opponent is so calm in the face of the approaching army, so calm that they are almost confident. They must have a back-up plan.
On the current battlefield, there are only three forces confronting each other: the rebels led by the Gliss family, the coalition led by the Castel family, and the Bold reinforcements led by Count Gaston. Lan
If there may be a problem in any link, it can only be Bold's reinforcements.
"This...can't be right? Is there something wrong with the Tulip Earldom's reinforcements?"
"Impossible! Do you want to say that Bold's army colluded with Castel's rebels?!"
"Impossible? What's impossible? Have you forgotten who hired the Necromancer to attack the Earl when he returned to the territory?"
"Those are just some rumors in the kingdom. I heard that they were released by forces loyal to the second prince. It's not like you don't know about the competition for the throne between the two princes of Crescent Moon. Besides, the earl hasn't said anything yet. !”
The nobles quickly fell into discussions, and chaos broke out in the hall again.
Charlotte was used to seeing the market-like camp. Lan
Under the feudal decentralization system, you can't expect these nobles to respect their lords like the subjects of the celestial dynasty treat their emperors with the same reverence as gods...
However, now, it is time to announce some things.
The war was imminent and they were far away from Beigang. Even if there were spies arranged by the third prince among the nobles, no news could be spread.
Now that Baron Angus has pointed out the problem again, Charlotte feels that the time has come for a showdown with these vassals of her own.
Thinking of this, she stretched out her hand and gently tapped the handle of the seat.
The sound was not loud, but combined with the extraordinary aura she released along with the handle, it was very oppressive.
The extraordinary aura of Silver Moon's second level slowly revealed itself, immediately attracting everyone's attention. Lan
Although Charlotte did not completely expose her strength, the aura that far surpassed the first level of the stars also made the nobles present pause and soon fell into shock.
"Silver...Silver Moon!"
Viscount Len-Castell's eyes widened and he almost lost his voice.
It is difficult for him not to lose his composure, or to be more precise, it is difficult for the nobles not to lose their composure after realizing Charlotte's true strength.
You know, more than a year ago, Charlotte was just a noble who had not yet awakened to her extraordinary power.
However, in just one and a half years, she not only broke through the stars, but now she has stepped onto the silver moon!
Too fast, this speed is too fast! Lan
For a moment, the nobles in the tent were silent.
The status of a noble is bound to extraordinary power. Nobles with weak strength, even if they have a high title, lack sufficient deterrence to nobles with strong extraordinary power.
But now, with the power of the second level of Silver Moon and her young age, Charlotte is enough to intimidate these nobles in her family.
And the reason why she chose to show a certain amount of power at this moment was also to make her next words more powerful, so that the nobles who chose to be loyal to her would have more confidence in Castel's future...
Charlotte paused slightly and said:
"Since you are willing to follow me here, your loyalty to Castel is obvious, then... there are some things that I can tell you openly and honestly."
"Baron Angus is right. The rebels do have a conspiracy. They believe that they will win this war. They believe that... Tulip's army will switch sides and join them to deal with Castel and the army."
After hearing Charlotte's words, the nobles were stunned, and then quickly fell into a commotion:
"My lord, are you telling the truth?"
"Holy Lord! Do you mean to say that the Third Prince is really behind the rebels?!"
Charlotte stretched out her hand and pressed down, the extraordinary aura spread, and the nobles subconsciously became quiet.
She glanced across the tent and said:
"Yes, the rebels in our territory are indeed supported by the third prince. Not only that, the third prince even colluded with the Blood Demon Order, and his purpose is also very clear, that is, he wants to control the Castel Territory... …”
As soon as these words came out, the nobles couldn't help but commotion again. Lan
Viscount Len Castel also said solemnly:
"Lord Earl, please be careful what you say! Being involved with the Blood Demon Order is a serious crime! Slandering the royal family may also usher in the wrath of the royal family..."
Charlotte smiled and said:
"Of course I have evidence, and...it's a witness."
As she spoke, she looked outside the tent and said:
"Your Excellency Count Gaston, please come in."
