Chapter 281 131 Be Frank

Chapter 281 -131- Be frank and honest

"Crazy! The Leglis family is really crazy! They don't even abide by the rules of war. Do they want to be enemies of all nobles?"

"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!"

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

"Your Majesty the Earl! Our Gerald 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 their troops 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.

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 war common sense of the Miria nobles.

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 Leglis family beheaded a nobleman who was negotiating.

For the nobles, there is no doubt that the Leglis family's practice of killing envoys seriously violated the war rules that have been established 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 people in the tent were filled with rage and rage.

Of course, it is not known 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 and watched quietly as the nobles angrily rebuked the Leglis family for their barbarism 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.

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, many times she 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.

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-Castel family, the nephew of Viscount Lenn, and the Knight of Bale."

Baron Angus said in a deep voice.

Charlotte:…

Nephew of Viscount Len-Castell?

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 had no intention of negotiating 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 Leon Castells 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 Leglis 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!"

"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 for a moment, and said respectfully:

"My Lord, I think... there seems to be something wrong with the rebels."

"Oh? Wrong? What's wrong?"

Charlotte raised her eyebrows slightly and asked.

Baron Angus then replied:

"The scouts we sent out reported that although the rebels are numerous, their overall strength is much weaker than ours, and most of them are just conscripts."

"If we fight head-on, I think they are no match for us 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 the army of nearly 30,000. Not only that... the scouts also reported that they did not find the cavalry of the Legris family."

"The cavalry of the Legris family is the elite of the rebels, and it was also the elite of our Castel's foreign wars. The main force of the conscripts did not retreat, but the mobile elite was nowhere to be seen. This... is not normal."

"My Lord, the rebels... I'm afraid there is a conspiracy!"

Baron Angus's voice was not loud.

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

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

"Baron, from what you see, what are the rebels planning?"

Viscount Ryan-Castell frowned and asked.

Baron Angus shook his head:

"I don't know."

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

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

After listening to Baron Angus's words, the nobles soon fell into a buzzing discussion.

"Baron, you say... Could it be that the rebels hired Chiyang?"

A young noble boldly guessed.

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

Baron Angus shook his head:

"It's impossible. His Majesty the King has already issued an order that any extraordinary person with the strength of Chiyang can obtain the title of earl after pledging allegiance to the kingdom. Some of them are originally from noble families and may even become earls of fiefdoms. The Leglis family is just a viscount family. They can't hire Chiyang."

"What if it is the mercenaries from East Yunet? The East Yunet Blackland is a paradise for mercenaries. There are many extraordinary mercenaries with the strength of Chiyang. The territory of the Leglis family is not too far from the East Yunet Blackland. Did they hire powerful extraordinary mercenaries?"

Another noble speculated.

Baron Angus continued to shake his head:

"It's also impossible. This is not a kingdom-level war. Let alone whether the Leglis family can afford the sky-high price of hiring Chiyang. Even if they succeed in hiring, there are constraints of the "New Moon Kingdom Lord Conflict Code". Chiyang can only protect the safety of the employer at most, and will never easily step into the secular battlefield..."

After listening to Baron Angus's words, the nobles frowned even deeper.

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

"Lord Earl..."

He looked at Charlotte, hesitant to speak.

Looking at his solemn expression, Charlotte guessed something in her heart and asked:

"Lord Baron, just say whatever you think."

Baron Angus took a deep breath and said solemnly:

"Lord Earl, I have a question to ask you..."

"Are you sure that Count Gaston's army is on our side?"

As soon as these words came out, all the nobles were stunned.

But soon, their expressions changed slightly and they fell into a commotion.

Yes, the rebels' actions were so strange, there must be something wrong.

The strength and movements of the main force of the rebels were not a secret. The other side was so calm in the face of the approaching army, so calm that it was almost fearless. There must be a back-up plan.

On the battlefield now, the confrontation forces are only three, the rebels led by the Legris family, the coalition led by the Castel family, and the Bolde reinforcements led by Count Gaston.

If there is a problem in any link, it can only be the Bolde reinforcements.

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

"Impossible! Do you want to say that the Bolde army and the rebels of Castel are colluding?!"

"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 spread by the forces loyal to the second prince. You are not unaware of the competition for the throne between the two princes of Xinyue. Besides, the Earl hasn't said anything yet!"

The nobles soon fell into discussion, and the hall was in chaos again.

Looking at the camp like a vegetable market, Charlotte has gotten used to it.

Under the feudal system of power division, you can't expect these nobles to respect their lords as much as the subjects of the Celestial Empire respect their emperors...

However, now is the time to make some things public.

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 had pointed out the problem again, Charlotte felt that the time had come to confront these vassals of her family.

Thinking of this, she reached out and gently knocked on the handle of the chair.

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

The extraordinary aura of the second level of Silver Moon was slowly revealed, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

Although Charlotte did not completely expose her strength, the aura that far exceeded the first level of Stars also made the nobles present stagnate and soon fell into shock.

"Silver... Silver Moon!"

Viscount Ryan-Castell widened his eyes and 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 noble who had not awakened extraordinary power.

However, in just one and a half years, she not only broke through the Stars, but now she has even stepped onto the Silver Moon!

Too fast, this speed is too fast!

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

The status of the nobles is tied to the extraordinary power. The nobles with weak power, even if they have a high title, lack sufficient deterrence against those nobles with strong extraordinary power.

And now, with the power of the second level of Silver Moon and her young age, Charlotte is enough to intimidate these nobles of her own family.

The reason why she chose to show a certain amount of power at this moment was to make her next words more powerful, so that these 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 self-evident, so... there are some things that I can tell you openly."

"Baron Angus is right, the rebels do have a conspiracy, they believe that they will win this war, they believe... Tulip's army will turn against them and fight Castel and the army together with them."

After hearing Charlotte's words, the nobles were stunned, and then soon fell into a commotion:

"Lord Earl, are you telling the truth?"

"God is above! Do you mean that the rebels are really supported by the third prince?!"

Charlotte stretched out her hand and pressed down, and the extraordinary aura spread, and the nobles subconsciously quieted down.

She swept her eyes 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 Cult, and his purpose is very clear, that is, he wants to control the Castel Territory..."

After this, the nobles couldn't help but stir up a commotion again.

Viscount Ryan Castel also said solemnly:

"My Lord, please be careful with your words! Being involved with the Blood Demon Cult is a serious crime! Slandering the royal family may also bring the wrath of the royal family..."

Charlotte smiled and said:

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

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

"Mr. Gaston, please come in."

No more!
