Wandering Knight Start: I have a simple data panel

Prince Radek, who was far away in the south, first received his elder brother's letter and the seal representing the king.

However, he threw the letter aside after just a cursory glance at the letter full of arrogance, madness and stupidity.

On the contrary, he took the king's impression, which represented the royal power, and played with it carefully in his hand.

It's ridiculous to say that the two brothers fought for each other, and finally left the last hope to each other with their own hands.

Of course, this is not because of the shitty family affection.

It's just the arrogance of a mad king.

In the eyes of the other party, Radek has the noble blood of the royal family and is the most qualified person to take over the throne at present, that's all.

And Radek also knew that it was time for him to make a choice.

He knew how much of everything he had now came from the assistance of the Northern Principality.

Because of the competition for territory, he has now had a lot of dirty things with the southern nobles.

And the territory he owns is not enough to resist the Northern Principality.

So, of course, he has to... inherit his elder brother's legacy.

Radek put down the seal without any hesitation.

Being a dog for others is certainly not as good as being the master of one's own house, even if the title of king is already in name only.

He has not been without any preparation in the past two years. His subordinates can also produce some weapons and ammunition semi-manually.

He even purchased a batch of expensive steam engines, and even went into debt for this.

There is no such thing as basic industrialization now, but Radek has indeed made a lot of preparations.

Finally, the southern nobles... have never had any eternal enemies. Facing the oppression of the Northern Duchy, someone will stand up.

"Come here, tell Baron Cliff that I want to buy a batch of artillery and make an appointment to meet."

Radek first invited Baron Cliff, who had been in charge of contacting him.

He knew that the other party was from the Northern Duchy, and all transactions were handled by the other party.

However, a baron does not have the ability to open up all the joints. He wants to know who else is behind it.

In addition, the relationship with the southern nobles must also be eased. Although interests are eternal friends, a suitable step is also very important.

The first choice was of course his grandfather, Count Bergen, but Radek himself rejected it.

The so-called family affection is a burden at this time.

Soon, he remembered a big man who had almost disappeared... Count Lovett.

He was a ruthless man who had always advocated the annexation of the North, fought with the Duke of the North many times, and even his own brother died in the hands of the Duke of the North.

It was just that the Northern Principality was established in recent years and its momentum was in full swing. Count Lovett lost a large number of troops and fled back from the North alone. He was suppressed by some opponents and gradually disappeared.

Moreover, the Northern Principality now plays an important role in maritime trade. How could Count Lovett, an enemy, get access?

Therefore, a great earl has been getting worse and worse in recent years.

If you want to say who hates the Northern Principality the most, this person is definitely on the list.

The most important thing is that Count Lovett has almost no chance of defecting, and the possibility of being stabbed in the back is greatly reduced.

Of course, other nobles should not forget to win over.

This is just the beginning of wanting to bind the southern nobles.

Next, the royal power must be gradually taken back and the authority of the Locke royal family must be restored.

Radek didn't know whether he could revive the royal family in this life, but he certainly couldn't do nothing.

Now, he has already occupied a certain advantage.

...

Baron Cliff has been living a comfortable life recently. Since he joined the Northern Principality, his business has been much smoother.

Even if there is no connection on the surface, a little care in private is enough for his business to grow bigger and stronger.

Moreover, the information flow in this era is just like that. Cliff's merchant ships are so popular on the sea. Is there anyone who can figure out the reason?

In recent years, too many people have made a fortune by sea trade. Anyone who has an opinion will offend a group of violent rulers with money and weapons, unless they don't want to die.

But Cliff knows that the reason why he can make a fortune is that he has reported to the thigh.

So he is very concerned about his duties.

Don't care about what transactions Prince Radek has with the Northern Principality, just do your own transit work well.

So after receiving Radek's invitation, Cliff didn't think of any traps and made an appointment to meet in the evening.

His political acumen was not strong, and he didn't connect the fact that the Northern Principality and the Locke Kingdom were at war.

Naturally, he missed the danger.

But someone could detect it.

As soon as the death squad that Viscount Chavez planted next to Cliff sent back the message, he realized that something was wrong.

Compared with Cliff, a small chess piece, Viscount Chavez's identity is obviously much more important.

In fact, Cliff was a fuse that isolated Viscount Chavez from some possible dangers.

Viscount Chavez could regularly receive a copy of the battle report from the front line from the spy channel.

So he knew very well that the Louis royal family was in a desperate situation.

The stable relationship with Prince Radek was instantly overshadowed.

Prince Radek was not a waste, so no one knew what he would do.

He immediately ordered the death squad to prevent accidents.

As for why he didn't remind Cliff, the function of this fuse was to warn.

Isn't it just for this moment that he has been kept for so long?

The only thing to blame is his own lack of vigilance.

At the appointed time, Baron Cliff arrived on time.

Compared with the embarrassment at the beginning, he now goes out with more than a dozen guards, and he is very impressive.

Even at this late night, there are guards who go to the dock first and guard in a proper manner.

Because there are too many transactions, this kind of vigilance is obviously not very effective and is completely superficial.

Cliff didn't realize it and swaggered ashore.

With one foot on the land, he was still thinking in his heart: "I don't know how much goods Radek will want this time. I can bring some private goods by the way."

This is also one of his ways to make money. Relying on the customs clearance documents specially approved by the Northern Principality Mansion, it is equivalent to not paying taxes.

He didn't notice that the attendants who followed him were very close.

Several dark shadows appeared on the dock and waved towards this side.

The transactions between the two sides are not open to the public, so it is like this every time.

Cliff secretly laughed at Radek's cowardice. The army of the Principality is about to attack, what is there to be afraid of?

Cliff led his men into the encirclement without any vigilance. Before he saw Radek, he was suddenly surrounded by a group of people.
