Chapter 266 -116- The Talented and Appropriate Monarch
Chapter 266 -116- A talented and strategic monarch
After learning from Viscount Remicio the reason for not sending troops, Charlotte canceled the long-distance communication.
In fact, there is no way to communicate for too long. This communication crystal is just a fake that she made based on the communication crystal seized from Agnes, with the help of the divine power of blood and the blessing of divine grace. It cannot be used for too long.
However, the information received is enough.
"So... it was the new military chief, driven by the third prince, who proposed to the king to strengthen the management of the army, and the king, who wanted to centralize power, followed suit and issued a ban..."
Thinking back on the information she had just obtained, Charlotte fell into thinking.
The timing of the issuance of this military order was so clever that it was difficult for Charlotte not to think that it was aimed at herself.
Although Viscount Remicio is a member of the second prince's party and will definitely not speak well of the third prince when facing her, Charlotte knows very well that the third prince who became the co-ruling Duke of Boulder through his marriage to Eleanor is indeed right.
Castel coveted it very much.
The assassination of Charlotte on her way back is proof of this. The biggest witness, Agnes, is still cleaning toilets in the Count's Palace.
Castel is too rich, and the Castel mithril mine is an important strategic resource. For a prince who wants to compete for the right to inherit the throne, the attraction is too great.
"It is said that Louis V ended the eighty-year Star-Moon War, and has a high prestige in the Crescent Kingdom. He is also called one of the most talented and strategist monarchs in the Crescent Kingdom for hundreds of years. However... this next generation of
The inheritance issue is definitely a huge hidden danger."
"It's also a bit strange. All kinds of information show that the current King Louis V is both wise and brave, and he is definitely not easy to fool. Couldn't he see these little thoughts of the third prince?"
Sitting at the desk, flipping through information about the Crescent Royal Family, Charlotte frowned slightly.
Let’s just say that the experience of Louis V, the current king of the Crescent Kingdom, is definitely legendary.
He was originally only the second heir to the throne of the Crescent Moon. He succeeded to the throne because his brother "Philip the Bold", the previous king, was accidentally killed in the Star-Moon War.
He was only 13 years old when he succeeded to the throne.
At that time, the Crescent Moon Kingdom had been retreating steadily from the attacks of the Fallen Star Kingdom. Even the royal capital had been breached, and less than one-seventh of its territory had been lost. The nobles were disengaged and the people were in chaos.
King Henry of the Fallen Star was even crowned as the new Crescent King by the officiant in the Crescent King. For a time, there were two kings standing side by side in the entire Crescent Kingdom.
But Louis V turned the tide and showed great political and military talents at a young age.
He first used the conflicts among the nobles to join forces and temporarily unified the power of the nobles. He also used the conflicts between the Fallen Star Kingdom and the Northern Grand Duchy to gain the support of the Northern Grand Duchy.
Then he prepared his coffin and personally led the coalition army composed of noble private soldiers and northern mercenaries. In the Battle of Moon Guards, with a strength of 1:10, he defeated the Fallen Star Kingdom's army and withstood the Fallen Star Kingdom's unstoppable attack.
, recaptured the royal capital and part of the territory.
And he himself showed an astonishing extraordinary talent. He came to the Blazing Sun when he was less than 15 years old and became the youngest Blazing Sun powerhouse in the entire human world of Miria.
Since then, the Battle of Stars and Moon has been in a state of anxiety for a long time.
With wisdom and strategy, Louis V relied on less than one-fifth of the remaining land area to fight back and forth with the Fallen Star Kingdom.
As time went by, he gradually gained the initiative in the war and began to counterattack with fewer wins and more. In the later stages of the war, he even gained the upper hand.
If not for the unexpected defeat in the First Roman Battle, Louis V would have driven the forces of the Fallen Star Kingdom out of the mainland long ago.
But even so, he also regained all the legal territory of the Crescent Kingdom except the Roman Principality, and the territory was even much larger than before the Star-Moon War.
After so many years, the Crescent Kingdom has long since recovered from the pain of the war, and its national power has surpassed Luo Xing's.
If it were not for the Fallen Star Kingdom and the Seyonite Empire to form an alliance against the Crescent, Louis V would probably have launched a war to take back the last Roman principality.
And for such a talented and strategic monarch, couldn't he see the little things in his own heirs?
Infiltrate, assassinate nobles, seize private territory and extraordinary resources, and increase your own strength... This is a taboo for any reigning monarch, right?
Or could it be said that the behavior of the third prince was also tacitly approved by Louis V?
The eldest prince, who was regarded as the heir by Louis V, died in the First Roman Battle. As the current heir, the second prince, who was very close to the church, had a bad relationship with him. Could it be that... this monarch is
Want to bypass the law of eldest heir and pass the throne to the third prince?
Therefore, they acquiesced in allowing him to use various means to increase his power?
Thinking of this, Charlotte's brows furrowed even deeper.
After all, she is only an earl, and her lord is still Bold so far. As for higher-level information, her knowledge is very limited.
But judging from the reaction of Viscount Remicio, the other party did not show much urgency and worry. If the king was determined to change the heir, the nobles who were interested in the second prince would have been in chaos.
Charlotte couldn't understand.
However, even though she couldn't understand it, analyzing her own rebellion from the perspective of the entire Kingdom outside of the Earl of Castel was enough to make her see many problems clearly.
At least, she has determined that her real enemy in this rebellion is not the Leglis family, but probably the third prince. At the same time, when facing the rebellion, she will not be able to obtain any more Crescent Lords.
support.
The reason why the rebels dared to launch a rebellion at this time was probably because they had the support of the third prince.
Charlotte's judgment was soon confirmed.
One day after she contacted Viscount Remicio, Sebastian, who was sent by her to investigate the Tulip Earldom, left and returned.
"Master, I'm afraid the situation is a bit serious. The fortress of Tulip Earldom has started military control half a month ago, prohibiting civilians from approaching. Not only that... As you can see, the cargo ships traveling to and from the port of Tulip Earldom during this period are more than
On weekdays, it’s three times more.”
"I quietly sneaked into one of the cargo ships to investigate, and found a large amount of military supplies on the ship, including food supplies, equipment and various extraordinary materials. There were even many advanced extraordinary people on board!"
"The Boulder family, or the third prince of Crescent Moon... may really take advantage of this rebellion to take action against us!"
Sebastian said solemnly.
