"The situation is urgent, the Odin Orcs are about to break through, and our army is mainly in the west. In a short time, there is no way to support the east defense line. The only thing we can rely on is Sister Wang's Steel Rose Regiment, led by the Yongye Army.
Volunteering to support the eastern defense line is a good thing that you can only hope for. What does the Grand Duke have to be angry about? Is it possible that the Grand Duke thinks that he can block the iron hoof of Odin orcs with his own strength?" King Laurie's last few words contained a cover-up.
A constant sense of ridicule.
"Even if it is trampled to pieces by Odin orcs, it is still my territory. If those bandits are allowed to walk through it, no matter how well protected it is, it will no longer be mine." Grand Duke Patram blurted out the deepest feelings in his heart.
worry.
"What did you say?" Not to mention King Lowry, even Archduke Buck, who was usually sullen, couldn't help but change his color angrily and reprimanded angrily, "Your Excellency Patram, please be careful with your words. You are not only
Are you the Grand Duke of the Manyu Army, or an important minister of the Lancelot royal family? Where will your words put your people? If spread, will you have the nerve to return to your territory?"
"Our most important responsibility now is to protect this land and the people here. For this common purpose, personal honor, disgrace, and profit and loss must be temporarily abandoned. I am like this, and I hope Grand Duke Patram is also like this.
"King Laurie's tone revealed a strong warning.
Warn Archduke Patram not to do stupid things out of impulse.
In the eyes of King Laurie, preventing the Yongye Army from leading the army north to support the Broken Vein Defense Line was an extremely stupid thing to do.
In addition to the high-sounding reason just now, it was also because he really knew his royal sister Sophilia very well, and he knew even more about her deep feelings for Archduke Cedric and the Broken Vein Defense Line.
The other party wrote to her to explain the matter, and she had saved enough face for herself. If she didn't cherish it, Sophia Liya would definitely slap him in the face with actual actions, even if she was his biological brother. After all, Cedric
The Grand Duke was also a blood relative to Sophia Liya.
"This is betrayal, this is betrayal." Grand Duke Patram didn't care about King Laurie's considerations. He only felt that he had suffered an unprecedented betrayal and gave away his territory as a favor.
No.
This may even be a conspiracy between King Laurie and Princess Sophia to conspire to embezzle his Manyu military leader.
Once this conspiracy theory grew in Patram's mind, it quickly took root and could never be eradicated.
Put this kind of colored gaze into it and observe the behavior patterns of King Laurie and Princess Sophia. The more you look at them, the more problematic they become.
At that time, the Lancelot royal family will re-establish the defense line against the Theodin Empire in the west, and the Eternal Night Army represented by Sophilia will lead in the east.
The leader of the army, Manyu, will be wrapped up by the leader of the Yongye army, especially that bitch Angie Beina, who has been following the leader of the Yongye army, waving flags and shouting.
If that situation really happened, according to her temperament, she would definitely use her hands to squeeze benefits from the Manyu military leader.
With the support of the Yongye Army Commander and Sophilia, Angibena has transformed and been promoted from Countess to Grand Duchess. The entire Manyu Army Commander will no longer have anything to do with Patram.
At that time, his voice in the New Royal Court will inevitably plummet. Being completely excluded from the top management is a good thing, and it is possible to end up being miserable.
For people like them, after falling from that supreme position, there is never the possibility of escaping intact.
There will be countless insidious villains who will not hesitate to throw countless rocks at him in order to win favor and gain more power and benefits without the new leader's orders.
Because Archduke Patram has always done this and climbed to where he is today through this method.
In terms of administrative ability, Grand Duke Patram may have great ambitions but little talent, and his performance was very poor.
However, there is something unique about this kind of conspiracy and conspiracy, especially when it comes to one's own safety and interests, which is particularly clear.
The most important thing is that he is somewhat self-aware and knows the extent of his own military strength. Without the support of the new royal court, not to mention the Yongye Army leader who has been so powerful in recent years, even Princess Sophia Liya
He may not be able to resist the Knights of the Steel Rose.
Thinking of the end, Archduke Patram was no longer simply furious, but so frightened that his whole body was trembling.
"Betrayal? Betrayal?" Grand Duke Buck said in a serious official tone, "His Excellency Grand Duke Patram has spoken seriously. Everything we are doing now is for the sake of the overall situation. If we do not block the orcs of the Theodin Empire,
, once they are allowed to rush into the plains of Asia Minor unscrupulously, it will not only be the royal family that will suffer a fatal blow, but the entire alliance will fall apart. At that time, no one of the tribes will be able to fight against those ferocious orcs on their own.
In order to prevent the tragedy of the destruction of our family and country, I ask the Grand Duke to be patient for the time being.
We can guarantee that once this crisis is over, the Odin orcs are driven out of the broken line of defense, and the line of defense is rebuilt, we will do our best to safeguard the sovereignty of the Grand Duke in Manyu.
As long as the royal family is still there, and as long as I am the prime minister of the royal family, your Excellency, the Grand Duke, is the legitimate ruler of Man Yu, and this will never change."
"It sounds grand, but the territory is gone. What do I want with an empty name?" Patram laughed angrily, "Since you don't do anything, then I will go to the Pope St. George, the godfather. I don't believe it.
Everyone is stupidly sitting back and watching the development and growth of the Eternal Night Army. Haven't you seen yet that the biggest threat to the Byron Alliance is neither the Odin Orcs nor the Conclave of Witches, but the Eternal Night Army?
?The one who has the legal inheritance rights to the throne is not only you, Laurie, but also her, Sophia."
"What did you say?" King Laurie's expression suddenly changed. Something in Grand Duke Patram's words aroused his sensitive nerves.
"Hahaha..." Archduke Patram, who was already torn apart, didn't care about King Laurie's excited reaction at all, and let out a malicious laugh, "It turns out that you all know it, it's just that you don't want to face it. Looking at it,
After you take the throne, everything you do is not to prove yourself, to prove that you are the real king and have the ability to surpass the Iron Princess.
But the more you do this, the more it proves your guilty conscience and your lack of ability. The result of your doing this is just to make more people think about the good things of Iron Princess.
Maybe many of your subordinates have secretly taken refuge with the Iron Princess and will one day welcome her back and become the real queen. When the time comes, where will His Majesty the King plan to go?"
In the end, Grand Duke Patram was full of malice and blatantly provoked a relationship between King Laurie and Princess Sophia.
Anyone who is familiar with King Laurie's character knows that this young king does not like others to make irresponsible remarks about his relationship and feelings with Princess Sophia.
Archduke Patram naturally knew this, but his views on this unique situation were different from those of ordinary people.
He did not think that King Laurie's displeasure was a sign of their deep feelings. On the contrary, it was a clear evidence of their vulnerability.
Their relationship has become so fragile that it cannot withstand the temptation of gossip, at least on King Laurie's side.
In the past, Archduke Patram would not take the initiative to provoke this dispute, but now that it concerns his own personal interests, he obviously can't care less.
He now hopes that the new royal court will break up with the Yongye Army Leader, so that his Manyu Army Leader will not be so completely humiliated.
As for whether doing this would lead to the Odin Orcs reaping the benefits and the Byron Alliance's situation completely collapsing, he didn't care.
Grand Duke Patram never prided himself on being a noble person. His personal interests and goals were always placed above the overall situation.
"Get out, get out of here, come and drive this rebellious person out of my palace." King Laurie roared at the top of his lungs.
Feeling the anger of its master, the huge creature that had been crawling and sleeping next to King Laurie's throne suddenly stood up, spread its wings, and let out a sharp eagle cry that shot through the sky. It was about to swoop down at any time and kill Pat.
The posture of Archduke Lyme tearing him into pieces.
This behemoth was none other than the gryphon, one of the royal symbols given to King Laurie by the leader of the Evernight Army in order to improve the relationship with the Lancelot royal family.
Compared to the snow-white griffon in Sophia's hands, the one in King Laurie's hands is more regal. It not only has a larger body, but also has glittering wings and hair, coupled with a tailor-made golden lion.
The vulture armor saddle is definitely worthy of the name Royal Griffin.
"You don't need to do anything, I will leave on my own." Although Archduke Patram was still speaking harshly, the small movements of his body had already betrayed him.
He had witnessed with his own eyes the ferocity of this griffin when hunting. No matter it was a galloping bull or a fast horse, it could not withstand its swooping blow from the sky.
Watching it hunt is a unique experience, becoming its prey is another.
Patram already regretted his quick words. Even if his previous words had the effect of sowing discord, it would not be worth it if it cost his life.
King Laurie's right hand, raised in fury, never came down. The crime of killing an archduke in public was not an easy one to bear, and it was very likely that he would betray his relatives.
Before Grand Duke Patram left the palace, he still couldn't restrain his bad-mouthed habit and said again: "Sooner or later you will pay for everything you have done today."
"Kill him!" King Laurie's right hand raised high fell heavily.
The royal griffon's powerful hind legs kicked off the ground suddenly, its wings vibrated, and it pounced towards Archduke Patram in a semi-dive attitude.
When Grand Duke Patram spoke the words, he knew what he would face. He immediately rubbed oil on his feet and rushed out of the palace gate. His guards were already heavily surrounding him.
Even if that flat-haired beast chases him out, it will no longer threaten him.
After all, King Laurie did not really want to kill Archduke Patram. Seeing that he was scared away, he shouted loudly to stop his mount.
Not to mention how King Lowry roared angrily, after Archduke Patram came out of the palace, he cursed King Lowry and Prime Minister Buck for their stupidity, got on his carriage, and went straight to Pope St. George's Palace in the Royal Capital.
Lesta's palace.
When King Lowry decided to rely on the power of the Holy See, he had to pay a corresponding price - being constrained by the Holy See.
Although Pope St. George rarely speaks out, everyone knows that he has a very high voice in the new royal court, and even King Lowry has to pay attention to it.
Archduke Patram had a hard time with King Laurie, so he naturally wanted to work harder with Pope St. George.
It's just that Archduke Patram didn't even enter with Pope St. George, and was stopped by the Templars at the door.
This kind of obstruction directly angered Archduke Patram, who was holding back his anger. He thrust his big fat face in front of the Templar Knight and roared with spit flying; "Open your eyes."
Take a look at who I am. I am Patram, the Grand Duke of Manyu, the intelligence minister of the Lancelot royal family, and the godson of His Majesty St. George who was personally ordained and baptized. Who gave you such courage?
Dare to block my way?"
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty the Grand Duke. His Majesty personally ordered that no one be allowed to enter during the prayer period, let alone the Grand Duke, even His Majesty the King himself." The Templar replied in a neither humble nor condescending manner.
"See you, His Majesty the Pope has the final say, not you, the watchdog. Hurry in and report. Just say that I, Patram, have something to do with the future of the Holy See. If it delays my important event,
You can't bear this responsibility." Patram suppressed the urge to break through.
Beating a dog depends on the owner.
Just a few Templars couldn't stop Archduke Patram, but after meeting Pope St. George, it was hard to explain.
"No one is allowed to enter without His Majesty's summons." This Templar knight was like a repeater. His expression and tone did not change at all. Let alone letting him go, he did not even have the intention to go in and report.
"You damn watchdog." Archduke Patram's voice rose three points higher, "I said, what I want to talk about is a major matter involving the future development of the Holy See. This kind of responsibility is not something you can bear.
Wake up, I want to meet His Majesty the Pope in person..."
Bang!
The door behind the Templars opened with a bang, and the strong holy power inside seemed to be pouring out.
A deep voice came from it, "Let him come in."
"As you command, Your Majesty." The four Templar knights at the door separated at the same time and gave way to the road.
"Huh!" Grand Duke Patram snorted arrogantly, straightened his clothes, and then stepped in.
Bang!
As soon as Patram walked in, the door behind him was closed again under the push of an invisible hand.
The holy power that permeated the entire room overwhelmingly pressed towards Archduke Patram.
Patram's plump face, which was originally full of anger, the anger quietly dissipated, leaving only a calm.
