In the capital of the Duchy of Angria, Duke Otto was losing his temper. He grabbed a chair, knocked all the plates and cups on the table to the floor, and then swung it hard, knocking the chair completely out of the window.
He threw it out. Even so, he still didn't calm down. He looked at the table, and the more he looked at it, the angrier he became. He suddenly pulled out his sword and slashed at it with all his strength. He slashed more than fifty times in a row until the table was cut into eight pieces.
Only then did Kuai finally let go.
He looked around the room, looking for a chair to sit on and catch his breath, but found nothing. Only then did he realize that the chair just now was the last one in the room, and the other chairs were falling before the table was thrown.
It had already been smashed by him first.
This is the first time he has been so angry.
That day, Ella suddenly left the banquet, and they waited for a long time without seeing her come back. While they were looking for someone, the mayor of Hamburg broke in with a few of his men. He tied up a few of them.
The strong man was thrown into the hall, and then told everyone at the banquet: Because the King of Sweden was attacked, he had rushed back to Stade.
The banquet broke up unhappily. Duke Otto dragged the men who attacked Ella into prison and tortured them for several days before he found out who was behind it. It turned out that there was a nobleman at the banquet, and his brother was killed by Amy during the war.
Kill, after hearing that this war was ordered by Ella, he had the intention to kill. Those who assassinated Ella were all his men.
"So what if I kill the Triumphant? She never commanded that group of pirates to fight from the beginning to the end! But didn't we still lose? By touching her here, do you want us all to be killed by the Pirate Kingdom!"
He turned around several times and couldn't find a place to sit, so he kicked the wall hard in anger, leaving a conspicuous mud mark on the snow-white wall.
"Since you wanted to kill her, don't stand on her right side at that time! Everyone thinks it's my order!"
"Just kill him! What rotten fish and shrimps he sent! Even the mayor of Hamburg can't do anything, and he still wants to touch the Triumphant? That's a magician at the level of a great elf! She
If you get angry, all of us present at the time will die?"
——No. Something is wrong.
Duke Otto leaned against the wall and gasped for air, his mind gradually calming down in the process.
——If the "Triumph" is really that powerful, then why does she run?
He had never doubted this before. In all the rumors, Triumph was an extremely powerful magician. Some said her crowbar weighed one hundred and thirty-five hundred kilograms, and some said her true body was a
Black Dragon, it is said that he can easily defeat thirteen elf-level magicians. Although these rumors sound exaggerated, it is true that the "Triumph" defeated the "Invincible". They only
You can choose to believe.
But is there a possibility that the Triumphant did not defeat Ragnar Lodbrok with magic?
Duke Otto recalled all the reports about Ella and every move he had seen with his own eyes: first, the team that found Ella reported that Ella was fighting with a villager; secondly, his
A few hands can really restrict Ella's movements; and...
Once you have doubts in your mind, many things become suspicious.
Duke Otto even had this thought in his mind: The victor actually has no magic at all?
But if you say so, it would be too bold for her to go to the meeting alone and admit that the war was her own instruction at the banquet. You know, many people had murderous intentions in their hearts at that time!
"Not bravery, but courage...?"
Duke Otto felt a sense of absurdity: the Alemannic Federation actually lost to a person who had no magic at all.
"The empire that Charlemagne built by relying on force has become what it is today."
He left the room silently and came to the corridor. The corridor was covered with soft carpets, and there were many expensive paintings hanging on the walls on both sides.
He called the servant.
"Get rid of all these carpets and paintings!"
"This..." the servant couldn't understand for a moment and asked, "How to deal with it?"
"Sell it, burn it if you can't sell it, you name it! From today on, these things are no longer allowed in my corridor!"
Leaving the servant who was in a daze behind, Duke Otto climbed up the stairs and arrived at the deepest room on the top floor of the castle. He pushed open the heavy door that had not been opened for several years, and a flag suddenly appeared in front of him. Painted on
On the flag is an eagle spreading its wings and ready to fly.
He stepped into the room. There were many swords and armors displayed on both sides of the room, but all of them had accumulated heavy dust.
Prince Otto walked up to a spear with a heavy heart. He blew away the dust on it, then took out his handkerchief and wiped it up and down.
"I finally understand. The biggest enemy of the Alemannic Federation is not outside, but within the Alemannic Federation, among the nobles and businessmen who have their own agendas!"
Otherwise, the alliance he finally gathered to fight against the pirate kingdom would not be easily broken up by the victor with just a few words.
He dropped the handkerchief and thrust his spear forward!
"The biggest enemy is the Count of Île-de-France!"
As long as the Count of Île-de-France showed some slight reaction to the invasion of the Pirate Kingdom, Ella could not use the excuse of "it was just a border conflict". And the nobles and businessmen were under pressure and did not dare to stand on Ella's side in public.
The Count of Île-de-France should have protected the members of the Alemannic Federation from aggression, but turned a blind eye to the invasion of the pirate kingdom. This was a mistake on his part.
The Count of Île-de-France's second fault was the Carrot Bill and the Trousers Bill as if he were having a psychotic episode.
The Count of Île-de-France allowed the Semites to come to the Alemannic Federation to preach, but Flanders had already shown signs of hunting the Semites. This was the third mistake.
"These three mistakes are enough to remove him from his position! Now is the best time to use some measures... First of all, it is to arouse the hatred of the Semites from the hearts of the citizens of the Alemannic Federation.
The anger!”
Duke Otto unconsciously recited the magical incantation inherited from the Carolingian bloodline:
"Charlemagne, the most pious Augustus, the great emperor crowned by God!"
He was determined to reintegrate the scattered Alemannic Federation like Charlemagne. Only in this way could he have the capital to fight against the "Triumphers".
