Chapter 744 The Prince and Another Prince (Part 1)
"Haha, it's not really a plan, it just needs to be done both internally and externally."
Above the main hall, the Black Duke, with his hands behind his back, smiled coldly and said calmly: "In this case, even if the opponent now occupies such a vast territory, he will definitely die in a few days."
"How should we act specifically? Please tell me sir."
The eldest prince's gray eyes full of anger lit up, and he immediately asked with great interest.
"Back to Your Highness, as I just said, if you want to deal with the Lord Nakong Qing and the fifth princess, the best time is to take advantage of the current situation when their foothold is not stable."
The Black Duke, with his hands behind his back, paced slowly in the hall while continuing: "The so-called progress of internal and external progress requires starting from two aspects at the same time."
"Internally, they are trying every means to intensify the conflict between the new citizen class in each city and the fifth princess, so that the two will continue to conflict, causing the other side to become chaotic without a fight."
"According to the latest intelligence, the Lord of Kongqing has captured at least three legions of surrendered soldiers. Together with the garrison troops recruited from various cities in the mountain fortress, the number is close to the size of five legions. This is very difficult for the Lord of Kongqing, who has limited troops.
It is undoubtedly a magic bomb that may explode at any time."
"Thus, it will definitely find a way to quickly eliminate this extremely unstable factor. According to my inference, there are only three methods: killing, imprisonment and coolies, and no matter which one it is, it is enough for us to take advantage of it.
, and make a big fuss about it.”
"After all, the innocent fifth princess advocates restoring the free farmers to their original status. This will inevitably conflict with the new citizen class who have vested interests."
Although the Black Duke's tone was calm, it was full of murderous intent: "In this way, and in addition to the heavy losses of the new citizen class in this battle, the fifth princess who was the winner was already resentful, so the situation naturally remained silent.
It’s a metaphor.”
"As expected of you sir, what you said makes sense!"
The eldest prince nodded suddenly and said solemnly: "For me, even if those untouchables are divided into three, six or nine grades, they are just a group of insignificant untouchables. Being able to use them as spearmen is simply a shame.
It couldn’t be more appropriate!”
"Hehehe, what His Highness the Prince said is absolutely true."
Sable, who was almost scared to pee just now, saw the right opportunity and quickly echoed: "As long as we use some tricks, those untouchables will definitely work for His Highness the Great Prince! What's even more ridiculous is that they are still helping His Highness count the golden dragons after being betrayed.
Woolen cloth."
"Haha, Minister Sebul is really getting smarter and smarter. With a capable minister like you at your side, His Highness the Prince will be able to seize the throne soon."
The Black Duke first flattered Sable with a smooth tone, and then said to the eldest prince: "Your Highness, as long as the Lord Kongqing and the fifth princess are allowed to mess around, they will be no different from fish on a eucalyptus board."
"This move is very popular with me. I will make detailed plans soon."
The eldest prince nodded thoughtfully, and then said to the Black Duke: "Sir, in addition to the internal aspect, as for the external aspect you mentioned, it is to assemble a large army and counterattack in one fell swoop while the other party is busy taking care of themselves, right?"
"Back to Your Highness, that's exactly what it is."
The Black Duke stopped, caressed his chest and bowed gracefully: "However, there are two problems that cannot be ignored."
"Sir, the problem you are referring to is the second child and the fourth child, right?"
The eldest prince's originally soothing brows knitted together again, and he said with a sinister look: "I underestimated these two guys before, especially the second one who was hiding so much, but I didn't expect that he also had the assistance of a fifth-level powerhouse.
Zuo, it seems that the previous decline was just a deliberate attempt to sell the weak points. Fortunately, I was not careless."
"Your Highness is wise, but please don't worry, Your Highness. Although the whereabouts of the White Knight are unknown, I am still here. My strength is not comparable to that of the White Knight and his like."
The Black Duke still maintained a respectful posture, waved his hand and said: "Currently, the second prince has gradually begun to surface, and this battle has also suffered heavy losses. The most worrying thing is the fourth prince. This is the true hidden secret."
The one that’s not revealed.”
"Indeed, my mysterious and gloomy fourth brother, who usually lives in seclusion and has not even seen me a few times, is able to fight on par with the strong men under my command. Even if the strong men loyal to him are captured,
They all self-destructed and died, leaving no trace of a flaw."
The eldest prince snorted coldly and said with murderous intent on his face: "Recently, the fourth child has also begun to hibernate. It is obvious that he is sitting on a mountain and watching the fight between tigers. We really have to be on guard."
After a pause, the eldest prince frowned again and said: "I completely understand what you mean, sir. Although I don't want to say it, but currently the entire Lengyan Kingdom has formed a four-way competition for the throne. How should we deal with this situation?
Why do you want to kill the Lord of Nakong Qing City and my stupid sister under such a complicated situation?"
"After hearing what His Highness the Great Prince said, I seem to understand."
Sable twisted his fat body, and said with a heavy look on his fat face: "If our army moves without permission, the second prince and the fourth prince will definitely take advantage of the situation and reap the benefits. By then, we will be in vain."
If the city lord and the fifth princess are eliminated, they will probably just be used as wedding clothes for others."
"Minister Sable is right, so what I am going to do is very obvious."
The Black Duke's tone was still calm, and he said calmly: "Just make the complicated situation simple again."
“Making a complex situation simple again?”
The eldest prince's burly body, which was paralyzed on the throne, straightened up, and his gray eyes lit up as he asked, "How should we act specifically?"
"That is to temporarily form an alliance with one of the other two princes and let them send troops together to deal with the Lord Kong Qing and the fifth princess!"
The Black Duke smiled grimly and said in a surprising way: "In this case, the remaining prince, even if he wants to reap the benefits, has to consider whether he has the ability!"
"Sir's idea is indeed extraordinary."
The eldest prince pondered for a while and then said hesitantly: "But is this feasible? Once the allies suddenly change their attitude, wouldn't I be in a situation where I am attacked from both sides?"
"His Royal Highness is not unreasonable to worry, but he has overlooked one key thing."
The unknown face of the Black Duke hidden under the hood revealed a sinister smile and responded: "As long as we find the right allies, this kind of thing will never happen."
"The right ally?"
The eldest prince's gray eyes turned, and while he caressed the golden throne armrest, he frowned in thought.
After a moment, the frowning eldest prince raised his face again, looked directly at the mysterious Black Duke below and said: "Sir, do you mean to choose the second child as an ally?"
"As expected of your wise and mighty Highness, he indeed has the appearance of a great emperor. He can get through almost everything with just one click."
The Black Duke nodded slowly and began to explain: "In the battle in the east that just ended, the second prince, like His Highness, suffered extremely heavy losses and lost a large area of territory. Like His Highness, he will inevitably have the same hatred towards the Lord of Kongqing City.
I hate it to the core.”
"It can also be seen from this battle that the Lord of Nakong Qing City is extremely cunning and is definitely not an ordinary person. Moreover, according to the latest battle report, when the new noble army was defeated, two hostile fifth-level strong men actually appeared on the battlefield.
It is completely consistent with the information previously received from the White Knight and from the attack and defense of the mountain fortress!"
"Coupled with the two generals of the kingdom, Bert and Jubai, who are no longer mere commanders, the overall strength of Lord Nakao Qing and the fifth princess can already be said to be extremely good, allowing this kind of serious problem to continue.
If it continues to develop, the consequences will be disastrous."
The Black Duke's calm voice, which made the traditional nobles present tremble, sounded again: "This simple truth is naturally understood clearly by the second prince. From this, at least the relationship between the Lord Kong Qing and the fifth princess
, the second prince will not take action against us until these common enemies are destroyed."
"So, are the rumors true? I didn't expect that the subordinates of that alien ant would actually have the allegiance of a fifth-level powerhouse, and there are two of them!"
The eldest prince slapped the armrest of the throne angrily and said with a ferocious face: "Sooner or later, I will definitely crush this humble ant!"
After calming down for a moment, the eldest prince nodded thoughtfully and said: "In this case, the only safe way to go now is to join forces with the second child."
"That's right, please rest assured, Your Highness, once the Lord of Nakong Qing City and the fifth princess are wiped out, I will have my own way to strike first and then suddenly launch an attack to eliminate the second prince's new noble army."
The Black Duke nodded and said confidently: "By then, His Highness will be not far from Leng Yan's throne."
"Then it all depends on sir."
The eldest prince nodded slightly, then frowned and said: "By the way, we must find the whereabouts of the White Knight as soon as possible. Although this guy is dull and dull, and would not regret his death, as a loyal dog, he is still very important to my path to the throne.
It must not be given up easily.”
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, I, Sable and other ministers are already conducting an exhaustive search."
The Black Duke bowed in salute, nodded in agreement and said: "Although the White Knight's strength is only at level 5 and three stars, as a level 5 powerhouse at the national level, he is indeed enough to make ordinary opponents fearful."
"Then I'll be relieved."
The eldest prince nodded with satisfaction and leaned on the golden throne again.
Not long after, he seemed to have remembered something, straightened up his eyebrows again and asked: "Since we want to cooperate with the second child, how should we contact him? As far as I know, although he is still in the royal capital, his whereabouts are unknown.
It's so erratic, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort to find it."
"Haha, Your Highness doesn't need to worry about this."
The Black Duke still had a calm tone and responded confidently: "Since we have thought of this level, the second prince who has a strong and powerful assistant must have also thought of it."
"As far as I know, the mysterious people who assist the second prince on the left are incredibly powerful, and they are vengeful beings who will never sit back and wait for death."
There was a hint of confidence in the Black Duke's tone: "If it goes as expected, the other party will come to you soon without me waiting to find him."
Sure enough, the Black Duke had just finished speaking.
Along with the sound of hurried footsteps, a middle-aged herald appeared at the door of the hall.
"Your Highness, the second prince, surrounded by a strong man in black wearing a white mask and ten new nobles, suddenly appeared outside the gate of the castle and said he wanted to see you!"
I saw the middle-aged herald kneeling on one knee and reporting nervously and respectfully: "How should I deal with it?"
"Oh? You're actually here?"
Hearing this, the traditional nobles at the bottom began to look at each other in confusion.
As the disputes in the royal capital intensify, the traditional aristocrats and the new aristocrats have long been mortal enemies of each other. Once they meet by chance, it will inevitably cause a bloody storm.
This is the private castle of His Highness the Prince, with all kinds of defense facilities extremely complete. Even the number of personal guards is second only to the palace. I didn’t expect that the other party would come directly to the door with such a few people!
You know, even if they are the traditional noble elites present together, they are enough to easily rival two fifth-level powerhouses!
Everyone, please go and try it soon.】
"Your Highness, Mr. Hei happens to be here too. How about I just kill the second prince?"
The bloated Sable thought for a moment, took a step forward with a big belly, and said with murderous intent on his greasy face: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
"Yes, yes, I'll wait for reconsideration!"
Other traditional aristocratic ministers and military generals also echoed, and every nobleman's face was filled with murderous intent, causing a frightening and violent atmosphere to arise in the hall.
"Sir, what do you think?"
The eldest prince raised his hand, first signaling the traditional nobles to quiet down, and then asked the Black Duke.
"Back to Your Highness, the second prince is a cautious man and always does things in a flawless manner. Since he came to you on his own initiative, it means that he must be well prepared."
The Black Duke pondered for a moment, then responded: "In my opinion, it is better to form an alliance, otherwise once he is lured to find the fourth prince, it will be detrimental to us."
"Exactly what I thought."
The eldest prince nodded and said with some helplessness: "If my extremely insidious brother could be killed so easily, then I would not be in such a passive situation today."
After speaking, the eldest prince ordered the other nobles: "If the other party is really here for the purpose of forming an alliance, then no one should act rashly. Do you understand?"
"As you command, Your Highness the Great Prince!"
All the traditional nobles immediately touched their chests and saluted, and lined up in unison.
Not long after, a tall and thin figure wearing a golden noble robe slowly walked in from outside the hall, surrounded by a group of figures exuding good looks.
"My dear brother Wang, you are well."
A joking and rather sharp voice sounded.
Above the magnificent hall, the tall and thin figure wearing a gorgeous golden noble robe gradually became clearer.
