Doom Girl Must Die

Obviously, if there are spies, there is no doubt that it is more likely to be someone close to the king. After all, even these counts only learned the news after they arrived at the Fire Dragon Fortress.

At that time, it was only about ten days away from now, and the Northern Principality could not make arrangements so quickly.

"In addition to Byron and Jagger, several of my commanders and military ministers know about this matter!" The king's expression suddenly turned gloomy.

The speculations of Bernard and others have proved that there are indeed traitors in high positions within the Principality.

Byron and Jagger are the first and second princes.

As for several commanders and military ministers, they were all loyal subordinates who had followed him for decades, and the king was very relieved at first.

After pondering for a moment, seeing the counts fell silent, the king continued: "Several commanders and military ministers have served me for more than ten years, and their families are also old-fashioned families in the Principality. I don't think it is possible for them to betray me. Big!"

"Perhaps, the best possibility is that one of them accidentally leaked the news to the people around them, which caused the autumn plan to be known in advance."

"I will investigate this matter slowly, but in any case, even if it is proved that the Northern Principality already knows our plan, it will not affect our autumn expedition this year."

For the king, this year's autumn expedition plan is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Especially now that there is a chance to win Maple Leaf City without a fight, this is definitely a very good start.

Therefore, he did not want to see a group of counts having scruples about this year's autumn expedition plan because of the possibility of spies.

"Your Majesty is right. In fact, the issue of Maple Leaf City this time is not only a good thing, but a good thing."

"It allowed us to win Maple Leaf City with almost minimal losses, and even more aware of the existence of spies. In this way, the northern principality gave us a big city for nothing."

"In addition, from the matter of Maple Leaf City, there is actually one thing that can be confirmed."

"That's the fact that His Majesty's spy investigation is basically true, otherwise the Northern Principality can send a large number of cavalry to contain us as usual!"

"To put it mildly, even if the plan of the Northern Principality succeeds in Maple Leaf City this time, it will only be exchanged for thousands of our soldiers. Compared with giving up a big city and an earl's castle, it is totally uneconomical!"

At this moment, Rakoff also opened his mouth to echo the words of the king, and also expressed his own opinion.

Hearing Rakoff's opinion, the counts present had different expressions.

Some counts nodded slightly in agreement with what he said, while others frowned and pondered without expressing their opinion.

"Rakoff is right, our military advantage is stronger than that of the Northern Principality, so we will attack directly with tough means!" The king also agreed with Rakoff's words, "Our next target is the Castle of the Earl of Barnby, now , please tell me what suggestions you have!"

When the earls heard this, they temporarily put aside their previous discussions with the spies and began to discuss the next attack.

"Your Majesty, I have no opinion on the continuation of the Qiuzheng plan, but in order to ensure the safety of the army, I think we need to carry out a more comprehensive arrangement and investigation. Even if the information from the spies is true, we should prepare for the worst situation! "

Immediately, the Count expressed his opinion.

"Well, Kermit is right. Next, the Earl of Barnby has penetrated into the hinterland of the Northern Principality. At that time, I will send a small team to monitor the intersections of the Earl of Barnby to ensure that The safety of the army in the siege of the city."

"In addition, we also need to strengthen the patrol vision of the Rangers to ensure that the situation in Maple Leaf City will not occur again!"

The king nodded. This point does not need to be said by the earls. With the lessons learned from Maple Leaf City, he will also be very careful.

"Your Majesty, before this attack, I'm afraid we need to do another thing!" At this moment, Bernard also spoke.

"Say Bernard!"

"Your Majesty, you promised last time that when you capture Maple Leaf City, the wealth in Maple Leaf City will belong to our six families!"

"But now Maple Leaf City has been completely evacuated, and there is no benefit. In addition, the vassals have gained nothing along the way. I am worried that they will have any opinions."

"Well! This is indeed a problem!" The king nodded slightly after listening.

Although it is said that the little aristocrats in Maple Leaf City did not exert much effort this time, they must also pay attention to the feelings of the following small aristocrats.

The minor nobles were not serfs, and just throwing a piece of black bread could make them work hard and bear no grudges.

If there is not enough interest, the small nobles will definitely experience the phenomenon of sabotage.

After all, what was lost in the war was their private property, and they could not gain benefits for a long time. They would find ways to reduce such losses.

If such a situation occurs, it will be very unfavorable for the next Qiu Zheng, and it will affect the military's heart.

"In this way, when you go back later, tell them that in the next autumn expedition, no matter which big city is captured, all the benefits in the city will also belong to your six earl families."

"And!" The king increased his tone, "After this departure, the gold coins harvested from the noble castles from the Earl of Barnby will also be distributed to your six families, and you will distribute them to all the seals. Take it as a reward!"

"Of course, the premise is that they must fight heroically, and this gold coin can be rewarded in their hands after the war."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your generosity!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your generosity!"

After hearing the words, the earls immediately offered their greetings.

There are almost tens of thousands of gold coins in the castle's "guardian" that the earldom of the Northern Principality can collect.

Usually, these small nobles don't have a share of gold coins, and they are the fixed receipts of the king and the six counts.

Among them, the king accounts for 50%~www.wuxiaspot.com~40% of the six earls, and the last 10% is used as a reward!

Now the king simply doesn't want to take the next 50%, which means that there are 5,000 gold coins that can be divided among several families, which will definitely make all the little vassals happy.

"This matter is settled, do you have any other proposals?" The king nodded and continued to look at the crowd.

The counts did not speak again after hearing the words. In fact, this year's autumn expedition plan was not much different from previous years.

It just changed the original mode of fighting the autumn wind to the matter of capturing the two earl castles, and used the army that was originally guarding against the support of the cavalry of the northern principality as a siege.

In such a mode, you only need to be careful not to be attacked when attacking the city, there is really nothing else.

Seeing this, the king did not speak, and he understood that there was no other suggestion, so the conversation changed, "Since there is no other suggestion, let's talk about Bernard's little vassal at the end of this meeting. "

"This time, the little vassal of Bernard avoided the loss of the soldiers of each family. How do you think he should be rewarded?"
