Tome of Blood Chapter 270

  Chapter 270-120-Back

   "Oh? So, she believed in the olive branch extended by the principality? She plans to use the power of the principality to put down Castel's rebellion?"

  Tulip County, in New Boulder Fortress.

  An old nobleman with gray hair and wearing the military uniform of the Duchy of Boulder said in surprise.

  The old nobleman's stature is not considered tall, but sitting there has an aura of calmness and prestige, which is the temperament that can only be cultivated by a nobleman who has been in a high position for a long time.

  Behind him stood another young man with a similar face to his, also in military uniform.

  However, unlike the old nobleman, the military uniform on his body is the military uniform of the regular army of the kingdom, and it is also a gorgeous and majestic knight dress, with beautiful enchanted armor shining.

   "Yes, Lord Gaston, the rebellion in the North has caused the little Earl of Castel to panic. Regarding your invitation, she was as surprised as a drowning person who finally found a piece of driftwood."

   In front of the old nobleman, the envoy who returned from Beigang said respectfully without the embarrassment he had in Beigang.

  The elderly Earl Gaston's eyes flickered slightly:

   "Oh? Panic? But I think her appearance of gathering tens of thousands of troops in Beigang doesn't look like what a panicked little girl can do..."

  The returning messenger's pupils flashed a faint red light that he didn't even realize, and continued to say respectfully:

   "Master Gaston, if she didn't panic, if she wasn't afraid, how could she not take this opportunity to order the army to go north?"

   "It is precisely because of fear that she is still hiding in Beigang even though she holds an army in her hand!"

"You know, the ones who successfully summoned the nobles were Viscount Len Castel of Castel and the elf Sebastian, but her existence prevented the nobles from going north to suppress the rebellion! "

  After hearing what the messenger said, Earl Gaston frowned even more.

  He glanced at the returning messenger, and suddenly said:

   "I heard that you met the famous pirate family in Beigang? And were they tied up?"

  The envoy's expression suddenly became a little ugly, and he gritted his teeth and said:

   "Master Gaston! That's not a noble at all! It's just a group of lawless bandits! If the Earl of Castel hadn't stopped them, maybe I wouldn't be able to come back!"

   "Oh? So, you were saved by Charlotte?"

   Earl Gaston said a little unexpectedly.

   "Yes, she severely reprimanded those lunatics! She doesn't trust the nobles in the North, not at all!"

  The returned messenger said solemnly.

  Looking at his confident expression, Earl Gaston was thoughtful.

   After pondering for a moment, he nodded:

   "I see, you step back."

  The envoy retreated, and Earl Gaston looked at the map of the Northland behind his seat.

  Beside him, the young man standing all the time couldn't help it:

   "Father, why are you still hesitating? The little Earl of Castel agreed to your proposal. Isn't this what we want to see the most?"

"His Majesty the King has acquiesced in His Royal Highness' actions. I am afraid that the Duke of Violet will make a big move within half a month, and the legal deprivation order prepared by His Royal Highness will be issued soon. If we really wait until then to start , that is, we are going to confront Beigang's main force head-on!”

   "Our family has been operating in the garrison of the Earl of Tulip for almost ten years. If that time comes, we will face the most violent attack from the northern nobles. Even if we can rely on the fortress to defend, we will suffer heavy losses."

   "Instead of doing this, it's better to start first and trick Earl Castel out of Beigang!"

   "Once we are able to control her, the initiative will be in our hands. If His Royal Highness takes back the Castel Territory, we will also be the ones who will contribute the most!"

  The young man was full of confidence, but after hearing his words, the old earl couldn't help cursing:

"madness!"

   "His Royal Highness Philip can break the rules of the game because he is His Royal Highness! And even he would not dare to blatantly deprive the nobles of their territories. He must first place legal charges for Castel!"

   "We are different, imprisoning a noble lord for no reason, do you think the kingdom's noble council is just for nothing?!"

   As he spoke, he shook his head again and said:

   "Odis, you've been in the capital for too long, and you're not that familiar with Boulder. I've seen Charlotte in Castel, and she's definitely not an ordinary nobleman!"

"Or, do you think that under the eyes of the nobles, lords and the church, not only can he successfully inherit the territory and obtain the allegiance of a well-known elf, but also successfully divert and suppress the nobles in the territory after inheriting the territory, and even obtain Is the young lord whom most of the nobles send troops to support, actually a stupid coward?"

"Not to mention, when Charlotte travels, Sebastian must accompany him. An elf whose strength has reached the level of the blazing sun, even if it falls, is far superior to the ordinary Silver Moon, even if he can successfully control Earl Castel. , it is very difficult for us to keep him, and as long as he escapes successfully, there will be endless troubles..."

  After hearing what the old earl said, the young man lowered his head in shame:

   "Father, you are right, I did not think about it."

"No…"

  The old earl changed the topic, his eyes flickered slightly:

   "Actually, what you said is also reasonable. His Majesty the King will sign the ban on the Kingdom's army, and naturally he also acquiesces to His Highness the Third Prince's actions against Castel."

"Charlotte of Castel is still too young, and she doesn't know our Majesty the King too well. Compared with the third prince's ambition, our Majesty the King's expansion of the power of the Holy Royal Court is the most intolerable. "

   "What she should never have done is to make a promise to the Holy Royal Court!"

"Odis, what you said is not bad, we should indeed take the initiative first, but, just like the legal deprivation order prepared by His Highness the Third Prince, we also need to be prepared, not only to ensure that everything is safe, but also not to give others Leave a handle."

  The young nobleman's heart moved:

   "Father, what do you mean..."

  The old earl glanced at him:

   "Odis, do you know how your brother Jordan died?"

   "Jordan? Didn't he die at the hands of the runaway undead because he participated in the Drunk Dream Salon organized by Earl Tulip?"

  The young noble said subconsciously.

"No…"

  The old earl shook his head:

   "From the time he had contacts with the Gorefiend Sect, he was destined to have such a day."

  The heart of the young nobleman jumped:

"what do you mean…"

  The old earl said meaningfully:

   "The most important reason why Charlotte of Castel censors the nobles is to wipe out all the blood demons in the North..."

   "You said, what organization is more suitable than the Gorefiend Cult to do the job of intercepting the Earl of the Northland?"

  The eyes of the young noble changed slightly:

   "You mean... masquerading as the work of the Blood Demon Cult?!"

  The old earl nodded:

"good."

   "Then... what about the elf beside her?"

  The young noble couldn't help but asked again.

  The old earl smiled and said:

   "Odis, do you know what is the most popular magic scroll among assassins?"

   "Blood burst?"

  The young noble said subconsciously.

   "No..." the old earl shook his head, heyed, and said:

   "You'll know when the time comes."

   "Master, are you really planning to meet with the garrison commander of the Tulip County? Are you planning to carry out the 'beheading' operation directly?"

  In the Earl's Mansion of Beigang, Sebastian couldn't help asking as he watched Charlotte choosing out clothes.

  Charlotte glanced at him:

   "Isn't that what you suggested to me? Pre-emptive strikes with super-spec power."

   Sebastian was a little embarrassed:

   "Yes, I did suggest this, but I didn't expect you to make up your mind so quickly."

  Charlotte nodded:

   "It has to be fast. According to the information of the Roman Foer family, the Principality of Violet may have a big move in the near future..."

   "The third prince's plan is very good. He has almost surrounded us, and even inserted a tulip knife in the middle of the territory. Now that the plan is made, it must be done quickly."

"The information of the Violet Principality is unknown, and there must be Chiyang sitting in the town, and the distance is also far away, so it is not suitable for shooting. The Legris family is also not close, and there is hidden support from the Gorefiend Sect. After all calculations, only the Earl of Tulip Best to deal with."

   "Originally, I thought that if it was really hostile, what should I do with the garrison of the Earl of Tulip. Now that the other party has invited me in advance, and it is clear that I will be an enemy, it may be a good opportunity to solve the problem."

   Sebastian looked solemn and said:

"Master, but you must also be careful. There is the Blood Demon Sect behind the Legris family, and the third prince has contact with the Legris family, which means that the third prince is likely to have the Blood Demon Sect behind him." strength…"

   "We can't guarantee that after this invitation, there will be no conspiracy between the Blood Demon Sect and the third prince."

  Charlotte chuckled:

   "I don't know about the Gorefiend Order, but Gaston's actions were definitely not ordered by the third prince."

   "In the transcript, the third prince has already set the tone for attacking the Northland. Under the attack from the north and the south, the tulip's role can only be to contain our power. Such an invitation... may instead startle the snake, which is completely meaningless."

   "To me, this is more like their unilateral action. Perhaps, Earl Gaston wanted to make a contribution."

   "There must be a conspiracy, but it probably has nothing to do with the third prince. As for the Gorefiend Cult... To be honest, I hope it has something to do with them."

  Sebas raised his eyebrows:

   "Why?"

  Charlotte grinned:

  "Since we have decided to take action, we must not leave people with any excuses for our actions. We must justify our actions and rationalize our behavior."

   "And this means that someone needs to stand up and take responsibility for everything."

   Saying that, Charlotte looked at Sebas with a smile:

   "You said, in the New Moon Kingdom, what organization is more suitable for taking the blame than the Blood Demon Cult?"

   I have something to do in the evening, please update early
