Quadruple split

Grand Duke Emmeline was stunned when she heard this, then turned to look at Futaba with a complex expression: "You also know about this?"

"Huh? I don't know."

Futaba shook her head vigorously, spread her hands and said: "Don't get me wrong. Although I have met the second prince a few times, and my short-term goals are similar to His Highness, I have no idea what he and Nini have planned. I don’t even know, but I can make those inferences just because I’m smarter.”

The duchess's expression immediately softened. After all, she trusted Futaba so much. If the latter planned something with others behind her back, it would really make her very sad.

"And that's it."

In order to increase his persuasiveness, Futaba deliberately added: "On Judgment Day, His Highness Shuu forcefully reversed the outcome of the decision and showed that his abilities and talents are no less than or far superior to Crown Prince Ruibo. After Buffy Marshall absconded, he immediately planned this speedy joint crusade. In less than a week, the coalition of lords was pushed here, forcing the Marshall family to a dead end. Obviously, Our second prince is not as carefree and bohemian as he has been for the past twenty years. In fact, he has great goals, and they are not limited to the throne. Otherwise, if he simply wants to maintain the stability of the situation, there should be There’s a better way to deal with it.”

Grand Duke Emmeline nodded slightly and said softly: "So you came to the conclusion just now after he proposed to marry me, right?"

Futaba nodded, then showed a big, sweet smile: "Yeah~"

"Okay, okay, I believe you are on my side."

Emmeline couldn't help laughing and blinked slightly: "As long as I am still willing to help kill the Marshall family, right?"

"I want revenge, you want justice~"

Futaba smiled slyly and shrugged his shoulders: "There are fundamental differences between him and those stinky men who are passionate about intrigues."

"well said."

Mo Tan clapped his hands vigorously, and then looked at Grand Duke Emmeline again: "Futaba's inference is correct. I have nothing to add. Now it's just up to you. What do you think?"

The air became calm again

After a long while, the young Duke of Crystal Wolf slowly said: "You haven't told me the reason why you made your own decisions and had a showdown with me."

"Because you can understand this kind of thing yourself. Even if you are temporarily carried away by false love, as a lord, you will not be immersed in it forever." Mo Tanfeng Qingyun smiled lightly and felt comfortable. He leaned back in his chair comfortably: "And in my opinion, even if you haven't figured it out, our Highness Xiu will find an opportunity to explain it clearly to you. As for the content he asked me to relay, if I really If I convey it to you without moving, His Highness will be disappointed."

"Well, I don't know why you like to make simple things so complicated, but it doesn't matter."

Emmeline let out a long breath and looked at Mo Tan calmly: "What I want to say is that there are many ways to cooperate."

"That's right, but this is the only one that's the strongest and most effective so far."

Mo Tan interrupted the other party calmly. After drinking the last bit of red wine, he stood up and bowed slightly to Emmeline: "Well, that's it. I hope you can give an answer before tomorrow night. If the answer is No, then let’s talk about other ways of cooperation.”

Emmeline did not get up, but narrowed her eyes and looked at Mo Tan, who was about to leave: "Before tomorrow night, His Highness seems to be very confident in himself."

"maybe."

Mo Tan smiled playfully, turned around and walked out and said without looking back: "I think he just has confidence in you."

five minutes later

Butler Deku looked at the hostess who was always silent with some uneasiness. After struggling mentally for a while, he hesitated and said: "Miss."

"Uncle Deku, please go and rest first."

Emmeline shook her head and showed a pale smile to the old housekeeper: "I want to be quiet."

Futaba next to her quickly added: "I just want to be quiet."

"But alas, okay."

Deku hesitated to speak and looked at the two ladies in front of him, but finally nodded and stepped back three times.

After Emmeline and Futaba were the only two people left in the room, the Grand Duke of the Crystal Wolf leaned back softly on the chair, with a look of confusion on his beautiful face, and murmured: "What are these? What are you following?"

Futaba smiled bitterly and touched Emmeline's smooth hair: "What are you referring to?"

"Marriage or something! Marrying His Highness Xiu or something! The empire is about to be in chaos or something! Taking sides or something! A battle for the throne or something! The position of queen or something!"

Emmeline yelled in a broken voice for a while, then hugged her head as if she was exhausted: "It's so annoying!!"

Futaba blinked and smiled strangely: "Don't you see it very thoroughly? You have basically considered everything that may be involved. It's very impressive."

"It's just because I can see clearly that it's so nerve-wracking!"

Emmeline groaned feebly, then pressed Futaba's shoulders and shook them twice: "What should I do!"

"Well"

The girl held on to her glasses dangerously and helplessly looked at the almost hysterical Duke of Crystal Wolf in front of her: "I want to confirm first, are you just venting, or do you really want to consult me?"

Emmeline put her head on the shoulders of Futaba, who was already fully recognized by her as her best friend, and muttered: "They are all there."

"Now, in order to help you clarify your thoughts, let me ask you a few questions first."

Because this matter has nothing to do with the Marshall family, Futaba is also happy to give advice to Emmeline, who takes good care of her: "First of all, between Rebo Bresne and Sue Bresne, who do you like more?"

"Which aspect are you talking about?"

"Aspects of succession."

"build."

Emmeline reported the name of the second prince without hesitation and said feebly: "Although His Highness Ruibo is the Crown Prince and seems to have a much more solid foundation than His Highness Xiu, I always feel that he may not be the latter's opponent."

"Even if you add the entire Dantès family?"

"Eh?"

"And then add the Hussein family."

"Do you know something?"

Emmeline looked at Futaba thoughtfully.

"It's just a little understanding of certain things. It has nothing to do with what you are facing now."

Futaba nodded and said lazily: "Amy, you just need to answer the questions now."

Grand Duke Emmeline said 'hmm', then lowered her head and thought for a moment, then said slowly: "Sure enough, I still think His Highness Xiu has a better chance of winning."

"reason?"

"intuition."

Emmeline blinked and said seriously: "Father told me that as a superior, you must trust your own intuition."

Although Futaba didn't believe this, she still nodded as if she understood clearly and continued to ask: "So, do you like His Highness the Second Prince?"

"I'm not familiar with him at all! As Dabbs said, even after I inherited the family, my interactions with him were limited to a few casual conversations on rare occasions."

Emmeline pouted, her expression extremely tired.

"Okay, I'm done asking."

Futaba nodded, straightened the Grand Duke next to him, and looked at her with a smile: "So what do you think?"

The latter was stunned at the time, and after a while of reaction, he asked with empty eyes: "Shouldn't it be you who gives me advice after asking?"

"No."

Futaba spread her hands innocently: "I just said I wanted to help you clarify your thoughts."

Emmeline looked at the other party steadily for a while, then covered her eyes and sighed: "Are you really going to marry him?"

"If your intuition is correct, then marrying Xubreson will indeed be of great benefit to the Crystal Wolf family." Futaba took a piece of snack and stuffed it in his mouth, and said vaguely: "I originally agreed. You can't afford to suffer. After all, according to the convention, even if you two like each other, His Highness Xiu, one of the heirs of the Violet family, cannot marry you. He can only choose a girl from the Dantes family or a woman from outside the eight major families. So if he can really marry you, the situation must have tilted very strongly in his favor."

Emmeline nodded and said, "So, even if I agree to him now, as long as His Highness Xiu cannot change the situation, it will be just empty talk and will have no effect."

"That's right."

Futaba snapped his fingers and smiled: "But if he can really marry you despite all the opinions, it proves that he does have the ability and status to help the Crystal Wolf family rise strongly."

Emmeline smiled bitterly, with a hint of confusion in her eyes, and said faintly: "It sounds like a sure profit."

"But the question is, what do you think?"

Futaba scratched his hair and said helplessly: "Although I have never been in love or liked anyone, as your friend, I think that in addition to the 'Crystal Wolf Archduke', you also need to consider 'love'" Milin Wolf Christo’s idea.”

"What's Emmeline's idea?"

Emmeline raised her right hand and summoned a crystal ice mirror in the air. She looked at the gorgeously dressed, powerful and blank-faced young woman in the mirror, and murmured in a low voice: "Emmeline What else can you think of?"

next day

Game time AM11:09

The eastern border of the Marshall Territory, where the lords' coalition forces are stationed

"Oh, it's finally done."

Mo Tan stood on a low slope with his hands behind his hands, watching the wolf cavalry in the distance, which numbered at least three thousand in size, sweeping in with the billowing smoke and dust. He looked around the orderly station with a smile, and whispered softly: "Fire Claws" The Wolf Cavalry and the Blood Claw Guards, the Night's Watch Chapter of the Simon Family, the Crystal Wolf Legion of the Crystal Wolf Family, the Mountain Heavy Knights of the Baroka Family, the Golden Crow Guards of the Dantes Family, Fell The Iron Gate Team of the Nan Family, the Jin Tianping Guards of the Hussein Family, the Bauhinia Guards and Royal Guards of the Violet Family, haha, they are really spectacular."

The Grand Duke of Baroka standing next to him was wearing a set of dark yellow heavy knight armor with the family crest, two one-handed heavy hammers hanging on his waist, and a broad-bladed heavy sword nearly two meters long on his back, full of majesty. Everyone on the ground smiled: "Although everyone has only mobilized a relatively small part of the elite strength, these people combined are more than enough to defeat several legions of the Marshall family."

"Ah, of course I believe this. By the way, is there an envoy sent to negotiate with Marshall?"

Mo Tan tightened the cold-proof cloak outside his robe, huddled his neck and asked Grand Duke Baroka.

"As far as I know, no."

The latter slowly shook his head, looked to the west where Mercury City was located, and said in a deep voice: "Only we sent a few scouts to deliver the ultimatum."

Mo Tan laughed foolishly, and after a while he asked: "Then what?"

"According to the feedback from the thieves I sent out at your suggestion."

Grand Duke Baroka glanced at Mo Tan, and said with a strange expression: "They at least saw with their own eyes that two people were brutally killed by a group of mysterious people when they rushed to Mercury City, and their bodies were destroyed."

"Ah, the Marshall family is really evil. It must be an unspoken rule not to kill the envoys."

Mo Tan reprimanded in a relaxed and cheerful tone.

"I highly doubt that those who committed the murders were members of the Marshall family."

Barokapi looked at Mo Tan with a smile, then lowered his voice and asked: "Who are they?"

"We are just people who want this farce to end as soon as possible. After all, our time is precious."

Mo Tan laughed happily, then looked back at the legions belonging to various families who were dismantling the station and arranging their teams to set off. A playful curve formed at the corner of his mouth: "So let the blood that should be left be shed as soon as possible. "

Vernon Baroka took a deep look at Mo Tan: "What exactly does Your Highness want? What do you want, Mr. Dabbs?"

"Your Highness wants a lot more than you think."

Mo Tan stretched out, turned around and climbed into the carriage lent to him. When he climbed to the last step, he turned to the Grand Duke Baroka and grinned: "As for me... Haha, I'm just seeking pleasure. At the same time, I just invested a little bit."

On the same day, at 12:45 AM in game time, the completely assembled lord coalition set off at high speed towards Mercury City, the core of the Marshall Territory. In the process, it transformed into a war formation based on the results of last night's meeting.

As arrows are the Duntis Golden Crow Guards, the Fire Claw Wolf Cavalry and the Fernand Iron Gate Team.

Following closely behind were the Hussein Golden Scale Guards, followed by Emperor Clive Bresne, who was personally driving the expedition, and the Redbud Guards, the smallest number under his command. On both wings were the highly maneuverable Panshan Heavy Knights. The regiment and the Night's Watch Chapter, followed by the Crystal Wolf Family's Crystal Guards and the Blood Claw Guards, have a total number of nearly 50,000, which is three times the total of the three elite troops of the Marshall Family. Even if two are said to be quite powerful are added. The slave-catching group and the coalition of lords also have an absolute advantage.

At this moment, this coalition army in the name of crusade is less than six hours away from Mercury City.

War is about to break out.
