"News about the Swamp of Despair?" Archduke Buck's face was as gloomy as water. "Why did Philip's envoy get involved in the Swamp of Despair? Philip is too busy to take care of himself. What impact can he have on the Swamp of Despair?"
Because he paid too much attention to the Swamp of Despair, Archduke Buck regarded any force that mentioned the Swamp of Despair as a thief, and wanted to steal a piece from him, even if he knew that the other party did not have the ability.
"The key lies not with Philip, but with the envoy." Grand Bachelor Qian Ning replied, "The envoy said that he holds vital information about the success or failure of our plot in the Swamp of Despair. If His Majesty refuses
If you see him, you will definitely regret it in the future."
"You mean that he wants to see me not as Philip's envoy, but as a person?" Archduke Buck instantly understood what Grand Bachelor Qian Ning wanted to express.
Although it is the same person, two identities, two concepts.
If you ask for an audience as Philip's envoy, it means that this person is Philip's mouthpiece and talks to him on Philip's behalf.
But in his personal capacity, he is purely representing himself. He wants to obtain what he wants from the Kingsley family through intelligence. It may be wealth, it may be power, or it may be a detour as a lobbyist for Philip.
Route, so that it is difficult to guess the information or purpose of the other party.
Duke Buck couldn't say whether he liked or disliked this kind of people, because they were all mixed.
For those who had genuine and useful information, Grand Duke Buck never hesitated to reward him, because only in this way, someone would continue to inform him or bring more useful information to him next time.
There are also people who make noises and seek favors as a stepping stone for their promotion. Most of the graves of such people are now several meters high.
I just don’t know whether it’s the former or the latter who came this time.
Academician Qian Ning spread his hands and said, "He didn't say anything. He said that this matter is of great importance and needs to be told to His Majesty in person."
Grand Duke Buck hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "For the sake of the Grand Master, I will meet this envoy. I hope this is not a small trick on his part. This kind of thing will never happen again."
What prompted Archduke Buck to make this decision was his emphasis on the Swamp of Despair. He was careful not to make any big mistakes. Hearing it would not delay him for long.
But he also made up his mind that if this was just a small trick used by the other party to meet him, even if it completely offended Viscount Philip, he would let the other party taste the anger of the Grand Duke.
"I obey, Your Majesty." Academician Qian Ning breathed a long sigh of relief and thought to himself that he would never do such a thing again next time. Even if he misses important information about the military leader, his own life is more important after all.
.
It didn't take long for the envoy of Viscount Philip, who tried every means to see Grand Duke Buck, to appear in front of Grand Duke Buck.
He was a well-dressed, thin middle-aged man, and his words and deeds exuded a unique aristocratic aura. It was obvious that he should have been born into a noble family and had received a good aristocratic education since childhood.
"King of Carthus, Kleist Noyce greets you. It is my greatest honor to meet you." The thin middle-aged man Kleist Noyce performed a proper noble etiquette.
If Skullcrusher McGee were here, he would be surprised to recognize that this thin middle-aged man is the right-hand man of Bolton, the ruler of the Bastille City of Slave, Sir Kleist, who is known as the sneaky fox.
Speaking of which, when Sean and the others were able to easily capture the Bastille, Sir Kleist also had a share of the credit. If he hadn't been too precious about his life and ran away when he saw that the situation was not right, but instead organized people to fight to the death, what would have happened?
Who will win is still unknown.
After all, the boy army led by Sean and the soldiers of Skullcrusher McGee were not as powerful as imagined.
There was a slave army of nearly 2,000 people in the Bastille that remained untouched.
But there are no ifs in this world.
Therefore, since then, the Andis people led by Sean have embarked on the road of rise, first the Eternal Night Army, then the Eternal Night Army, and now the Eternal Night Army Leader.
As for Sir Fox Crest, he became an out-and-out loser. He went all the way to the city of Solo, the capital of the Manyu Army, to spread the news and wanted to use this as a promotion ladder, but he did not get the attention of Archduke Borg.
Before he could officially come into the sight of Grand Duke Borg, the slave rebellion broke out, and the entire Manyu military leadership fell into turmoil. From then on, he disappeared and there was no movement again.
Unexpectedly, after nearly ten years, he transformed into a messenger of Viscount Philip and appeared in front of Archduke Buck.
"Noyce? Guy? Noyce, who are you?" Archduke Buck raised his eyebrows and asked.
"It is my father." Sir Crest replied truthfully.
"Are you the heir who was permanently exiled by the Noyce family?" Archduke Buck had a strange look on his face.
The reason why Archduke Buck is so sensitive to the surname Noyes is not because of how great the surname is. At its peak, this family was just one count with real power. In the entire Byron Alliance, there were only eighty count if not one hundred. In fact,
Not worthy of Archduke Buck deigning to remember them.
The surname Noyes is famous because it represents a great anecdote in the aristocratic circle. He would rather have his inheritance fall into the hands of another surname than send his only heir into permanent exile. What outrageous things did that heir do?
?
To this day, there is no accurate answer, because after he exiled his biological son, Count Guy passed away within two months, and the exiled Kleist disappeared from the world, and no one knows where he went.
Therefore, there are various theories about this matter, including those that the private life was chaotic, some that were treason, and some that were framed... No matter which theory, there is some truth, but none of them is tenable.
, cannot be fully explained.
Precisely because it was unresolved, the interest became more attractive and lasted for a long time. Unexpectedly, one of the parties involved actually appeared in front of him, which made Archduke Buck's heart of gossip a little burning.
But I have to worry about my own face and cannot ask such personal and revealing questions. In fact, the question I just asked was a bit inappropriate.
"If there is no second Noyce family, no second exiled heir, your Majesty should be talking about me." Sir Kleist felt a strong sense of bitterness in his heart. He originally thought that as time went by, he would be replaced by me.
After diluting everything, he didn't expect that anyone would remember what happened back then. However, he obviously had no intention of explaining it to Grand Duke Buck, and directly brought the issue to the crux, "Your Majesty, do you know that the Carter Army leader is already at the edge of the cliff, and he is slightly uneasy."
Be careful, you will be destroyed forever."
"Why did you say that?" Although Archduke Buck was asking, the look on his face was obviously disapproving. He had seen many people who used threatening words to attract their own interest and then expressed their opinions. When it came time to actually express it,
, 80% of it is nothing more than this, and those who can say something meaningful are considered good.
The Carter military leader is already on the edge of a cliff, and is about to be doomed if he makes a mistake?
As the Grand Duke of the Carthusian Army, how could he be completely unaware of this? Did he need an exile to remind him?
Doesn't this mean that he, the Grand Duke, was always doing nothing?
He could understand that he wanted to get a chance to be promoted, but couldn't he use a different formula and another set of words? He was really tired of hearing this.
Having said that, the other party himself was one of the biggest jokes in the Byron Alliance aristocratic circle, and it would not be unexpected if he did something funny. He wanted to see what tricks he could pull off.
The interest that arose in Archduke Buck's heart was not due to Sir Crest's solemn look and threatening words, but because of his dark history.
If Sir Crest knew what Archduke Buck was thinking, would he stand still and leave? This is another question.
"Your Majesty, do you know where the crisis comes from?" Sir Kleist once again raised a rhetorical question, but this was not a question to Archduke Buck, but a question to himself. "The greatest danger to the Carter Army now comes from
Swamp of Despair, this is not an alarmist statement, but the Carter military leaders are not the only ones who are concerned about the Swamp of Despair.”
"There is nothing strange about this. Anyone who knows something about the prospects of the Swamp of Despair will be concerned about it." Archduke Buck said impatiently.
Sir Crest has talked a lot of nonsense until now, and there are too many people who are thinking about the Swamp of Despair.
The Royal Family of Lancelot, the Holy See of Saint Ether, the Conclave of Witches, and the Lords and Nobles of the Byron Alliance, none of them want to take a piece of the action.
It's just that the geographical location of the Carter Army was too good to keep them out.
As long as he, the supreme ruler of the Carthusian army, does not speak out, no matter how greedy they are, they can only watch him honestly. Is it possible that they still want to rush up and bite him?
In that case, it is not him who should be anxious, but the regent Princess Sophia.
Because once the civil war begins, the entire Byron Alliance will be in danger.
Don't look east, the Theodin Empire is currently fighting for life and death. Once the Byron Alliance has an opportunity, they will definitely unite and go south. They have been peeping at the fertile land of Shannan for a long time.
"I'm not talking about the forces in the Byron Alliance. No, it should be said that they have just joined the Byron Alliance." Sir Kleist turned a blind eye to the dissatisfaction on Archduke Buck's face and said word by word, "Eternal Night
Military leader!"
"Army Commander Yong Ye? Are you talking about the joke baron that the Princess Regent consecrated not long ago? He lives in a remote country and dares to call himself a military commander. What kind of threat can it bring?" The person speaking this time was not Archduke Buck, but Qian Ning.
The bachelor's degree showed deep disdain in his words.
Although he is known as the wisest man of the Carter Army, he also has his own limitations, that is, he is too arrogant and believes too much in his past experience and knowledge. Therefore, there is not a lot of news about the Yongye Army leader he has dealt with, but he still has his own limitations.
I have never seen this mountain and the changes that have taken place there,
Even if the other party has already done something that will have a profound impact on the Byron Alliance and even Ashan.
Of course, because the regent Princess Sophia was involved in it, it attracted too much attention. The combination of punches she performed before Jacob Jiang Fuliu made people couldn't help but think that Jacob Jiang Fuliu himself was
In her plan, she never thought that Sophilia was actually riding the coattails of Yongye Army Leader, who was the one who made the biggest profit.
"Go on." On the contrary, Archduke Buck looked like he was listening attentively.
He has long noticed this newly rising force, especially the remnant of the slave rebel army Dikron in the later period. He was obviously assisted by this force, and was finally picked up safely by them, making Akmesse unbreakable.
The buckle made me suffer a heavy loss.
By doing this, the leader of the Yongye Army certainly allowed the leader of the Carter Army to clear the interior of the territory and move the army to the Swamp of Despair as quickly as possible.
Archduke Buck did not blame Acmeser for this, but it did not mean that he had no feelings about this matter.
Since then, he has continued to pay attention to this new force.
Unfortunately, the unique geographical advantage of this new force makes it like an iron bucket, and water cannot be poured into it. Let alone ordinary sentinels, even those ghost slaves with Andisian faces will be thrown into the sea.
No news.
Archduke Buck wanted to know about this new force, but he had no channels.
But as long as you are willing, you can always collect some useful things, such as the number of merchant ships going in and out of the Jacob River.
According to the data compiled in the past two years, the number of merchant ships entering and leaving the Andes Mountains has shown an increasing pattern.
what does that mean?
This means that the Yongye Military Leader has its own shipyard, and its scale is quite large.
It means that the trading volume is increasing day by day, and all the numbers listed here make even Archduke Buck, who is used to big winds and waves, secretly frightened.
I have put away the contempt in my heart to some extent. After all, when the total value of their annual transactions is not much less than the annual output of the Carter military leaders, are they still aliens?
When Sir Kleist uttered this name, it really made Archduke Buck's heart skip a beat. He was reminded of a fatal problem that he had ignored. Those who were adjacent to the Swamp of Despair were not only the Carter military leaders, but also these Andis people.
How could they turn a blind eye to the swamp of despair that was undergoing changes?
Or the other party is already planning it, but he just doesn't know it.
It's scary to think about it.
Although Archduke Buck was trying hard to control the expression on his face, cold sweat broke out involuntarily, showing the intensity of his inner activities.
"Speaking of the rise of the Yongye Army Leader, we have to start talking about it nine years ago. He first rose to prominence in the Bastille of the Hunter City under the Manyu Army Leader, but that city was unknown to most people.
"It was too small, so I didn't notice it. The reason why I know so much is because I was in the Bastille at the time and witnessed the entire process of those mountain people..." Sir Kleist told the information he knew
Talk comes.
Night raid on the Bastille.
The commander of the Manyu army gathered an army of 50,000 to attack the Andes in the Bastille. As a result, he did not even see the people of the commander of the Yongye army. He was confused by a pile of treasures in an empty city.
The military leaders fell into turmoil and collapsed without a fight.
The slave rebel army that swept through the entire Manyu Army has always had their shadow vaguely there. The Andis longbow that Dikron defeated Viscount Philip's Golden Camel Heavy Cavalry was traded to them by the Yongye Army.
.
Then through the Countess Angie Beina of the Manyu Army, she got in touch with the regent Princess Sophia Liya, and conspired to dig up the lake on the ground and let the Jacob River flow again, seeking benefits from it, and achieved great success. The original Four-Party Talks were
Clear evidence.
Originally, they wanted to support Viscount Philip to ascend to the throne, but the Viscount had serious character flaws. Even after he gave him some advice and tried hard to disguise it, at the critical moment, the flaw was still exposed, and the cunning leader of the Yongye Army saw through it and took the opportunity to sabotage it.
After losing it, they signed a tripartite agreement behind their backs. Now Viscount Philip has become a discarded son. Once it has no value, he can be thrown away at any time.
It seems that the Manyu Army is now being fought to the death by Viscount Philip and Patram, fighting for the supreme dominance of the Manyu Army. In fact, the final decision-making power has long been out of the hands of these two, not even in the Holy Ether Church.
And in the hands of a secret society of witches.
Instead, it is in the hands of the Regent Princess Sofilia, the Countess Angie Beina and the Yongye Army Leader, this tripartite alliance that is not taken seriously by most of the forces in the Byron Alliance. They can support a puppet at any time if they want.
, taking the supreme ruling power of Manyu Army into his hands.
The reason why they haven't done this now is not only because their interest demands are not big enough, but also because they all have other plans, especially the leader of the Yongye Army.
If you don't even look down on a resurgent ruling power, it's naturally because you see greater benefits.
Looking around them, there is only one benefit - the Swamp of Despair.
