This kind of character is called stable at best, but timid at worst.
Most of the military power of the Brian family is in his hands, which is really a waste. If it were him, he would have done something drastic and drastic long ago.
Unfortunately, the families they came from were turned upside down, and they could only accept their destined identities from birth.
"What kind of heuristic? Are you trying to trick the Revolutionary Party?" As expected, after listening to the other party's analysis, Count Nickles was moved.
If the person behind Archduke Christian is no longer able to advise him, she, Count Nickles, and the family behind him will be the most powerful beings in the Flower Language Plateau, and Archduke Christian will have to rely more on them.
.
Or they could directly replace the great scholar and become the family behind Archduke Christian.
Just thinking about it makes people excited.
"It's not manipulation, but there is manipulation within it. Hey, His Excellency the Viscount has close contacts with the Yongye military leader. His words and deeds are very similar to those of the Revolutionary Party in many places. His position itself is somewhat vacillating.
Doing this in the past might please both sides and benefit both sides, but once the war breaks out, this will be a big problem. As long as it is confirmed that he is suspected of defecting to the Yong Ye Army leader, His Majesty will not be able to protect him even if he wants to.
"Calvin's feminine words and appearance are extremely inconsistent with his tall and strong figure.
"You are as sinister as ever, but I like it this time." Count Niklos laughed loudly and said, "Count me in for this matter. After success, the benefits will be equally divided. The arsenal will be mine and the caravan will be yours.
how?"
"Okay." Count Calvin agreed readily.
The two people who had reached an agreement couldn't help but look at each other and laugh, as if Viscount Gauld had become their meat, waiting for their share.
…
Although Archduke Christian used physical fatigue as an excuse to expel three of his important ministers from his castle and palace.
After they left, they did not fall asleep, but immediately moved to the back of the palace.
There is also a small room within a room. Although the space here is not large, the level of luxury decoration is no less than that of Archduke Christian's palace.
The most important thing is that it is difficult to detect the existence of this small room from the outside, but from the small room, the situation outside can be seen at a glance, and all conversations can be clearly transmitted into it.
When the door to the room within the room was pushed open, a strong smell of herbs came out. Even the strong smell of wine in the palace could not be completely suppressed.
"Ahem..." A low cough that could not be suppressed came from the room.
Grand Duke Christian said with a respectful look on his face: "Teacher, are you okay with your health? I have already said that I can handle these small things by myself. What you need to do now is to rest in peace and recuperate."
"This is an old habit of mine, and I won't be alive for a while, ahem... But what you are discussing now is related to the life and death of the Brian family. The late king entrusted you to me, and I must not do it at the last moment.
, ahem... I failed to live up to the late king’s expectations of me.”
As the door of the room within the room opened, an old man appeared in front of Archduke Christine.
This person used the actual situation to explain what is about to be built.
His skin color is dull and saggy, and his age spots are densely covered. His movements are slow and laborious, and even his speech and tone are drawn out very long.
This person's name is Yadunia, and he is not too famous among the outside world, including the ordinary people in Huayu Plateau.
But among the aristocratic class of Huayu Plateau, he is like an old and immortal shadow, haunting everyone.
He is not only Archduke Christine's teacher, but also his father's teacher, and has been loyal to the Bryan family for nearly a century.
"It's the students' incompetence that makes the teacher still suffer at such an old age." The self-blame in Christine's words is definitely sincere.
"Between you and me, there is no need to say so many uninformed words." Yadunia waved his hands and said, "Seriously speaking, it was my dereliction of duty. I did not predict in advance the speed of the rise of this new force, the Yongye Army.
We even underestimated their ambitions, which is why Your Majesty allowed the Brian family to fall into this embarrassing situation of internal and external troubles."
"Teacher, don't blame yourself for responsibilities that you should not bear. The rise of Yongye Army Leader is not only beyond the teacher's expectations, but also beyond everyone's expectations. Even His Excellency St. George, who is known as the human spokesperson of the God of Truth.
, instead of suffering losses one after another in front of the leader of the Yongye Army, it is said that even the Angel Legion has been recruited, and he still has to suffer defeat." Grand Duke Christian comforted.
In front of his teacher, he put down all pretense.
He paid more attention to the leader of the Yongye Army than he showed in front of his three important ministers.
Regardless of his ability to manage territory, he is definitely an excellent actor in terms of acting skills.
"A thing will change every time it passes through someone's mouth. Whether it is the situation in the Holy See or the Yongye Army, what we have received is information that has gone through countless hands and has been seriously distorted. Many of it is even...
Some people consciously let us see and hear."
Yadunia is so old that even if he publishes a long speech, he has to take a breath for a long time. "Foreign aggression is certainly terrible, but internal trouble is the key to the destruction of a kingdom and family with a long history."
"Teacher, are you referring to those revolutionary parties?" Archduke Christian said hurriedly, "Teacher, don't worry, I have asked Count Nickles to start solving this matter. They are just a group of rebellious gangsters. We only need to let them see blood."
, they naturally become honest.”
"It's different, it's different this time." Yadunia shook his head and said, "The Revolutionary Party is far different from those bandits and bandits in the past."
"Why is it different?" Archduke Christine looked puzzled.
"Recently, I have carefully studied the books and manifestos of the Revolutionary Party that you collected. These things give them something different. Bandits and bandits, no matter how loud they make a fuss, in essence, it is just for their survival.
In order to survive, they changed from civilians to bandits.
Similarly, in order to survive, they will change from bandits to civilians.
As long as they can survive, they have no fixed purpose.
Those revolutionary parties are different. They not only want to survive, but also want an ideal living condition. For this ideal, they can give up everything and wrap up their own lives. They will not compromise easily.
Your method may seem useful in the short term, but in fact it won't solve any problems. Instead, it will further intensify the conflict.
Because the fundamental reasons that led to the emergence of the Revolutionary Party still exist.
The exploitative rule of vassal lords everywhere.
This is the foundation of our rule. Once it is shaken, it will not only be the Revolutionary Party that resists us, but those vassal lords will also turn against us, which will only make the Bryan family perish faster."
It is not an accident that Yadunia became the teacher of two generations of the Brian family, but he has real talent and knowledge, at least in terms of understanding of many things, which is far above ordinary people.
His understanding of the Revolutionary Party far exceeded that of Archduke Christian and his important ministers.
Although Archduke Christian had deep faith in his teacher, he still couldn't help but question his words: "According to the teacher, isn't this revolutionary party an unsolvable problem? So far, all they have done is banditry.
, I really don’t see anything unique about them.”
"Thought! Their power lies in thought! The weapon of thought is invisible and intangible. Just like the faith of the Holy See, it can make many people's actions blind. For the sake of faith, they can betray their own lord without hesitation.
My own hometown.”
Yadunia made a very simple analogy, "On normal days, many internal problems can be suppressed by force. Once war enters and troops are mobilized, these problems will be exposed in broad daylight.
What was originally a minor injury turned into a serious injury, and a serious injury turned into a fatal wound.
This is true of the revolutionary party, and it is also true of the local aristocrats vying for power.
Your Majesty, please prepare early. If I cannot wake up tomorrow and something happens, who should Your Majesty discuss with?"
Uncontrollable panic surged on Archduke Christian's face. He knelt down in front of Adonia's bed and said emotionally: "No, the teacher will not die. I can't live without a teacher."
"I know that my own body has been able to survive until now only because of the maintenance and support of drugs, but drugs also have limits. I have clearly felt that many drugs no longer have an effect on me. Now is the time when I am sleeping more and more.
It comes more and more, and the time when I am awake becomes less and less. Many times, I can’t tell whether I am in a dream or in reality.”
Adunya gently patted Archduke Christian on the shoulder and said, "I know that for a long time, you have been resentful of me, thinking that I am controlling your life, the Bryan family, and even the Flower Language Plateau...
…”
"No, I have never thought of it that way..." Archduke Christian choked and shook his head repeatedly.
"No need to deny it." Yadunia sighed, "My mind is still clear now, and I watched you grow up. There are many things that you cannot hide from me. No matter whether you have misunderstood me or not, but there are
Some things must be explained clearly while I am still awake.
I can't help you this time and help the Bryan family get through this difficult time.
Even if I didn't fall ill, there would be nothing I could do.
The Yongye Army Leader is different from any enemy we have faced before. Their strength does not only come from their own force and financial resources, but also from the system.
I have never seen any system with such cohesion and the ability to fully mobilize the enthusiasm of its people.
It has been established for more than 20 years, and it is still monolithic from top to bottom.
If they still live in the Andis crater, it can be explained by a single racial advantage.
Now that they have come out of the mountains and have integrated into multiple races, they are still difficult to penetrate. It cannot be described as terrifying.
This is a huge variable that I have been unable to see through for more than ten years..."
Aduniya showed a kind of despair and pessimism about the war between Huayu Plateau and Yongye Army Leader.
Due to the Warlock Alliance, Yadunia paid more attention to the Eternal Night Army Leader than all the Huayu Plateau people, not only secretly collecting information about them, but also analyzing the reasons for their development and growth.
The more you understand, the more awe you have, and you will have a despair that others don't have.
"How come you have never heard of this matter from your teacher?" Grand Duke Christian was surprised, but also had deep doubts. Since his teacher had already recognized the threat of the Yong Ye Army Leader a long time ago, why?
Never seen him make arrangements in this regard?
Yadunia closed his eyes and rested for a long time, then said, "What's the use of talking about it? I have just said that the real horror of the other party is their system. At this point, there is nothing you and I can do.
"
"We also have a geographical advantage. The transverse faults on the plateau will keep their army at bay."
"On the plateau, there are too many people with the same mentality as His Majesty. You place too much hope on the geographical advantage of the Hengduan Mountains. Once this natural line of defense is captured by the enemy, it will cause great internal conflict among us.
Chaos, has Your Majesty ever thought about it? If the army led by the Yongye Army suddenly jumped over the Hengduan Mountains and appeared inside the Huayu Plateau, what would be the situation inside the plateau? What countermeasures have you prepared?" Yadunia asked.
He asked a series of bold assumptions.
"We are going to use the method of fortifying the walls and clearing the country to bring them down alive." Archduke Christian's face turned a little pale when he was questioned, and when he answered, he obviously lacked confidence.
"Strengthening the wall and clearing the field is based on the premise that the key city castles you defend can withstand the enemy's fierce fire attack. If your defense line cannot hold out for even half a week under the opponent's offensive, wouldn't your so-called strong wall and clearing the field be a joke?
"Adunia poured a basin of cold water from the top of the mountain on Archduke Christian.
"Impossible, the situation the teacher said cannot happen. We are just waiting for work. The climate on the plateau is different from that on the plains. Many people will be extremely uncomfortable when they get here, let alone a fierce battle. We will drag out the war.
After half a year, it was not a difficult task, and finally the Yongye Army finally understood the difficulties and retreated." Archduke Christian said it was not so much a refutation of Yadunia as a comfort to himself.
"I don't know if other territories will make complete preparations before taking action. According to my understanding of the Yongye military leaders, they will definitely consider all aspects before sending troops, especially if they have been spying on us for a long time.
, those natural dangers that are placed in the open are likely to be unavailable, and the artillery of the Yongye Army is the fatal nemesis of the castle fortress. If the enemy puts hundreds of artillery in front of the castle, they will bombard you indiscriminately.
"Blast, how many days do you think your strongest castle can hold on?" Adunya shattered Archduke Christian's last bit of luck.
