Tome of Blood

"Crazy! The Legaris family is really crazy! They didn't even abide by the rules of war. Are they trying to make enemies of all the nobles?"

"Shame! What a disgrace to the nobility! My lord, the rebels did not take the "Holy Code" seriously for such barbaric actions. They must be severely punished!"

"The Legris family... must pay the price!"

"Lord Earl! Our Gerrard family is willing to take the lead in the battle!"

"Our Perrin family is also willing to be a pioneer!"

In the camp of the commander of the Castel coalition army, the nobles who heard the news that the envoy had been cut were filled with righteous indignation, and almost exploded, and all the noisy ones wanted to lead their troops to fight.

In the continent of Miria, since Charlemagne I, the founder of the Unet Empire, established the aristocratic system, as the biggest beneficiaries of the aristocratic system, human nobles have long regarded the glory of the aristocrats as extremely important, and even more so. It is no longer emphasizing 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 wars. In addition, various aristocratic families have been married for thousands of years, and there is me in you, and you in me. During this period, the nobles will try not to kill.

It is normal to win the war, capture the opponent alive, and then set a suitable ransom price to release the opponent.

I won today, but you may win tomorrow. Keeping each other on the front line 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 furious.

Without him, in the human world of Miria, those who are qualified to negotiate as envoys in wars must also be nobles.

In other words, the Legris family cut off a negotiating nobleman.

For the nobles, the Legaris family's practice of beheading troops has undoubtedly seriously violated the rules of war established by the nobles for thousands of years, and it is a practice that is neither decent nor honorable.

For a moment, it could be said that the crowd in the tent was full of anger and anger.

Of course, it is unknown whether the northern nobles were really angry because their glory was tarnished, or because they became confident and eager to make contributions after seeing the huge gap in strength between the enemy and us.

Perhaps, both.

Charlotte sat on the throne, silently watching the nobles angrily denounce the barbarism of the Legolis family, and competed to present themselves to fight.

Perhaps as a time traveler, she didn't have the noble honor concept cultivated since birth like the nobles of Miria, and her reaction was not as strong as that of the nobles.

angry?

There are also some, but it's okay, there are too many stories about Blue Star's ancient formation.

But the messenger who volunteered was really unlucky.

Originally, negotiating as an envoy before the war was a very easy and honorable matter for the nobles of Miria. Both sides in the war would often politely send the envoy back. When selecting candidates, Charlotte still remembered that there were many families competing Well, in the end, who knew that even his life was gone.

Hmm... Which family is it from?

"Your Excellency, Baron Angus, the messenger of sacrifice... Which family does it belong to?"

Charlotte looked at the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces and asked.

Although she is the supreme commander of the coalition forces in name, but most of the time she just sits on the sidelines and will not take the initiative to intervene in the command of the army.

This march, the marching route of the army, the schedule, the possible battle plan, etc., were all formulated by the commander-in-chief, Baron Angus, Viscount Lane-Castel, and other nobles.

Professional things are left to professional people. Charlotte knows that she has no experience in commanding the army.

As a lord, she just needs to learn how to use people. She is not a "master of micromanagement", so there is no need to make things difficult for herself.

Like sending envoys to negotiate the matter, she just nodded in agreement, and didn't personally order anyone to go.

After all, in her opinion, there is no need for negotiations in this war that must be fought, and that must wipe out Castel's rebellious power and the infiltration power of the Gorefiend Cult.

"My lord, he is a member of the Leon-Castel family, the nephew of Viscount Leon, and the knight of Barle."

Baron Angus said in a deep voice.

Charlotte: ...

Nephew of Viscount Lane-Castle?

Charlotte couldn't help but look at the old Viscount on the other side, and saw that the other party had a gloomy expression, red eyes, and a face as black as the bottom of a pot.

Looking at the other party's expression of anger mixed with pain, Charlotte felt a little guilty. After all...she hadn't thought of negotiating at all, and the so-called sending of envoys was just to comply with the wishes of the nobles.

"My lord, my condolences..."

After thinking about it, Charlotte still spoke a word of comfort.

Viscount Len-Castel took a deep breath, and said in a heavy voice:

"My lord, thank you for your consolation. Bala died for the honor of the nobility, the glory of his death..."

"The Legolis family betrayed the lord and desecrated the honor of the nobles. They are no longer worthy of being the noble lords of the Northland. Please order your troops to destroy them!"

"Go to war! Counter the rebellion!"

Other nobles also echoed.

Looking at the outraged nobles, Charlotte looked around, only to find that Baron Angus, the commander in chief, frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

Charlotte's heart moved slightly:

"Your Excellency Baron Angus, what are you thinking?"

Baron Angus raised his head, hesitated for a moment, and said respectfully:

"My lord, I think...the rebel army seems to be a little bit wrong."

"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 rebel army is large in number, its overall strength is much weaker than ours, and most of them are only 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 is not enough for them to fight against an army of nearly 30,000. Not only that...the scouts also reported that they did not find the cavalry unit of the Legolis family."

"The cavalry unit of the Legris family is the elite of the rebel army, and it was also the elite of our Castel foreign war. The main force of the conscripts did not retreat, but the mobile elites were nowhere to be seen. This...is not normal."

"My lord, the rebels... probably have a conspiracy!"

Baron Angus's voice was not loud.

But after hearing his words, the outraged nobles quickly calmed down.

They looked at each other, and saw a trace of surprise in each other's eyes.

"Your Excellency the Baron, from what you've seen, what might the rebels be planning?"

Viscount Len-Castel frowned and asked.

Baron Angus shook his head:

"I have no idea."

"To be honest, I can't think of any other plans for the rebel army... In the face of absolute strength, everything is false. Even if the Legris family has cavalry, we also have tulip reinforcements..."

"Tulip's reinforcements are Bold's elite standing staff. With their support, the rebels have no chance of winning... However, their performance now seems to be too calm."

After hearing what Baron Angus said, the nobles quickly fell into buzzing discussions.

"Your Excellency the Baron, do you think... Could it be that the rebels hired Chi Yang?"

A young nobleman boldly guessed.

In the world of Miria, extraordinary power is the decisive factor in wars, and the nobles naturally think of a more powerful extraordinary.

Baron Angus shook his head:

"Impossible, His Majesty the King has long issued an order that any extraordinary person whose strength has reached the blazing sun can obtain the title of earl after being loyal to the kingdom. It's the Viscount family, they can't hire Chi Yang."

"What about the mercenaries of East Unet? The Black Land of East Unet is a paradise for mercenaries. There are many extraordinary mercenaries whose strength reaches the blazing sun, and the territory of the Legris family is far away from the Black Land of East Unet." The land is not too far away, did they hire powerful extraordinary mercenaries?"

Another noble guessed.

Baron Angus continued to shake his head:

"It's also impossible. This is not a kingdom-level war. Let alone whether the Legaris family can afford the sky-high price of hiring Chiyang, even if it is successfully hired, it is bound by the "New Moon Kingdom Lord Conflict Rules". At best, Chi Yang only protects the safety of its employers, and will never easily step into the secular battlefield..."

After hearing what Baron Angus said, the nobles frowned even deeper.

After thinking for a while, Baron Angus' expression suddenly changed slightly.

"My lord..."

He looked at Charlotte, hesitant to speak.

Looking at his dignified appearance, Charlotte guessed something in her heart, and asked:

"Your Excellency, if you have any ideas, just say it."

Baron Angus took a deep breath and said solemnly:

"My lord, I have a question to ask you..."

"Are you really sure that Earl 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 commotion.

Yeah, there's definitely something wrong with the rebels acting so strangely.

The strength and movements of the main force of the rebel army are not secrets. The opponent is so calm in the face of the approaching army, so calm that he is almost confident, so there must be someone behind him.

On the current battlefield, there are no more than three opposing forces, the rebel army headed by the Legris family, the coalition army headed by the Castel family, and the Bold reinforcements led by Earl Gaston.

If there is a possible problem in any link, it can only be Bold's reinforcements.

"This... can't be? Could it be that there is a problem with the reinforcements of the Earl of Tulip?"

"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 the Earl returned to the territory?"

"That's just some rumors in the kingdom. I heard that it was released by the forces loyal to the second prince. It's not like you don't know about the rivalry between the two princes of the new moon. Besides, the Earl hasn't said anything yet. !"

The nobles quickly fell into discussion, and the hall became chaotic again.

Looking at the vegetable market-like camp, Charlotte is used to it.

Under the feudal system of separation of powers, don't expect these nobles to respect their lords as gods as the subjects of the Celestial Dynasty treat their emperors...

However, by now, some things are also time to announce.

The battle was imminent, and they were far away from Beigang. Even if there were spies arranged by the third prince among the nobles, there would be no news.

Now that Baron Angus has pointed out a problem again, Charlotte feels that the time has come for a showdown with these vassals of her own.

Thinking of this, she reached out and tapped the handle of the seat lightly.

The voice was not loud, but combined with her extraordinary aura released along with the handle, it was very oppressive.

The extraordinary aura of the second level of Yinyue gradually revealed, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Although Charlotte didn't completely expose her own strength, the aura far surpassing Fanxing's first rank made all the nobles present stagnate, and soon fell into shock.

"Silver...Silver Moon!"

Viscount Len-Castle's eyes widened and he almost lost his voice.

It was difficult for him not to lose his composure, or to be more precise, it was difficult for the nobles who realized Charlotte's true strength not to lose their composure.

You know, more than a year ago, Charlotte was just a nobleman who had not awakened extraordinary power.

However, in just one and a half years, she not only broke through the stars, but now she even stepped onto the silver moon!

Too fast, this speed is too fast!

For a while, the nobles in the tent were silent.

The status of nobles is bound to extraordinary power. Nobles with weak powers, even if they have high titles, lack sufficient deterrence against nobles with strong extraordinary powers.

But now, with the strength of the second level of Silver Moon and her young age, Charlotte is enough to frighten these nobles in her family.

And the reason why she chose to show a certain amount of power at this moment is also to make her next words more powerful, so that these nobles who choose to be loyal to her have more confidence in Castel's future...

Charlotte paused slightly, and said:

"Since you are willing to come here with me, your loyalty to Castel is self-evident, then... there are some things that I can tell everyone frankly."

"Baron Angus is right. The rebels did have a conspiracy. They believed that they were the ones who won the war. They believed... Tulip's army would turn against them and join them against Castel against the army."

After hearing what Charlotte said, the nobles froze for a moment, and soon fell into commotion:

"My lord, is what you said true?"

"My God! Do you mean that the rebel army is really supported by the third prince?!"

Charlotte reached out and pressed down, the extraordinary aura spread, and the nobles subconsciously quieted down.

She looked across the tent and said:

"That's right, the third prince is indeed supporting the rebels in our territory. Not only that, the third prince even colluded with the Blood Demon Sect, and his purpose is very clear, that is, to control the Castel territory... ..."

As soon as these words came out, the nobles couldn't help commotion again.

Viscount Lien-Castle also said solemnly:

"My lord, please be careful! Being involved with the Blood Demon Sect is a felony! Slandering the royal family may also usher in the royal family's wrath..."

Charlotte smiled and said:

"Of course I have evidence, and... it's witness testimony."

As she spoke, she looked outside the tent and said:

"Your Excellency Earl Gaston, please come in."

Stop posing!
