Public trial?You deserve it too!

"Wait for me, I'll say hello to Georgi, and then we'll be off."

-------------------------------------------------- -

"Old... Knight Claude? Charles?"

Friedrich looked at the two in surprise.

"Brother, do you know Claude?"

Charles was obviously taken aback.

"We fought together before." Friedrich obviously remembered Claude's order, "But I didn't expect you two to know each other?"

"Well, we are classmates in the same class - Mr. Friedrich, we need a place where we can discuss things quietly. Also, can I trouble you to call Mr. Gorman?"

Claude said politely.

"Of course, you go to my house, there is a basement there, and the sound insulation is very good."

"There won't be any women's personal belongings?"

The boy made a joke.

"Why, I just don't like noisy and bright places."

Friedrich smiled: "Then I'll go to Gorman."

After all, he turned and left.

"Let's go, Knight of the Shire."

Claude motioned for the man to follow him.

"Brother Friedrich is still the same as before, which is why his nickname is Bat. He always likes dark and quiet places."

Charles groaned.

"Everybody has their own habits, doesn't they?"

Claude said something casually.

"That's true...but Friedrich is the same as you..."

"No, Herr Friedrich doesn't know about it, but that Mr. Gorman whom I asked him to call is one of my men."

Claude explained as he walked.

"We have eyeliners for every gang in the imperial capital, especially organizations that are not formed for money like the Orphan Gang, and they are the focus of our attention-only to find that Friedrich is really just a gang with a sense of justice. After the knights, we began to choose to help each other, after all, sometimes we also need the help of gang members to do some things."

Charles nodded solemnly, and he once again understood why the name of the Imperial Intelligence Bureau can make every nobleman fear like a tiger.

"Gorman... I remember that the person Brother Friedrich sent to protect my family before seems to be his subordinate?"

"I ordered that Gorman's subordinates are all knights and have also received professional training—after all, you have already committed your allegiance to me, so even if you don't come to me, protecting your family is what I should do."

Claude spoke casually, but Charles stopped, looked at Claude solemnly, and then knelt down on one knee.

"Thank you, Captain."

"It's nothing, Shire, you don't need to thank me for this, you have already paid your loyalty, so I should repay you."

Claude smiled and helped Charles up, but he had already put another tick in his heart.

【He started calling you captain again. 】

'Yeah, a thankful guy, that's fine, I'm getting more and more satisfied. '

The two went into the basement and waited for Gorman to arrive.

Not long after, Gorman walked down dripping with sweat.

"I was just... exercising, sorry." The fat man explained wheezingly, obviously the other party was desperately preparing for the next action. "How about I go take a shower and come back?"

"No, sit down, Gorman."

Claude pointed to the chair.

Gorman sat down and, like Charles, turned his gaze to Claude.

"Let me introduce each other first. This, Charles Breton, knight genius, and the illegitimate son of the Grand Duke of Brittany, will fill in the missing key identity person in the plan, as the legal successor He is the best candidate—this, Gorman Meyer, my most loyal subordinate, has been undercover under the command of the Theocracy for ten years, successfully destroying the opponent's plan at the most critical moment, and suppressing the Provence rebellion Zhongju has made great contributions and saved an entire province for the empire."

The corners of the two men's mouths twitched at the same time, and they looked at each other.

"Wait a minute, boss, you said he was undercover for ten years... Could it be that you have been in the Imperial Intelligence Agency since then?"

Charles' mouth opened into a circle.

"You got it wrong. In fact, I was going to activate Gorman's hidden stake. I didn't know each other before. In Provence, we cooperated very happily-but when it comes to the intelligence agency, that's true. We are both I've been training since I was a kid."

Crowder explained.

Then the corners of their mouths twitched even more.

'We've had a damn good time working together. '

Gorman tried to make his smile a little more natural.

'I didn't expect that a meritorious spy like Gorman would be under the command of the boss... It seems that his background is also amazing. '

Charles has more confidence in this plan.

"Then let me tell you about the plan in detail."

Claude grinned and took out a map.

When Charles saw this picture, he immediately had no doubts about the plan——

Because the level of detail of this map is the same as the one he saw in the castle of the Duke of Brittany. Except for the Imperial Intelligence Bureau, absolutely no one can come up with such a detailed map of the Brittany Peninsula.

Claude said that Christina was really awesome. At that time, she tried to find her and asked for a map. As a result, she simply brought Claude into Ludwig's sand table deduction room. The map inside made Claude Just look at it—all of them are military ones with special logos, so Claude can only ask the system to scan them all with a smile.

"For decades, the Imperial Intelligence Bureau has continuously received intelligence that the Merchant Alliance has been doing smuggling business with the Principality of Brittany, and it is a comprehensive cooperation from top to bottom. This has aroused our high vigilance and increased our attention to this The infiltration and supervision of a certain area. It turned out that the thinking of this generation of the Grand Duke of Brittany was a little shaken, and he even began to waver between the empire and the business alliance."

The boy's voice became serious. Obviously, this intelligence adapted from a true story shows that the current situation is very serious.

Charles and Gorman also put away their expressions and listened carefully. Both of them must participate in this plan, and there are reasons for the success of the plan, so no one dares to take it lightly.

"Originally, the Imperial Intelligence Bureau was planning to adopt a drastic plan, but considering the strength of the Grand Duke of Brittany, we must not rely solely on us. The full cooperation of the army and navy is necessary, but if you count the Brittany Peninsula and the commercial Due to the distance between the alliances, it is very likely that we will need to face the full-scale offensive of the merchant alliance. In this case, we cannot give a definite judgment on what kind of means to adopt and how many troops to prepare."

Claude explained the terrain and situation to the two people.

"In the end, the result of our discussion was that we canceled the original beheading plan, that is, to assassinate the Grand Duke of Brittany. Instead, we changed our thinking and decided to scare the enemy first, and see how big a conspiracy can be brought out."

"—In other words, we will deliberately start investigating the smuggling case of the business alliance with great fanfare, forcing the Grand Duke of Brittany to make a choice, whether to admit all mistakes, come to the imperial capital to beg for mercy from the respected emperor, or ignore it Xiang Shangmeng is putting all his eggs in one basket to fulfill his provoked ambition!"

"Before you appeared, Charles, we originally planned to adopt such a plan, but after you appeared, I found that this plan may be greatly changed, but this requires your cooperation from the bottom of my heart, so I just proposed a change , and did not take corresponding measures, knowing that you came to me today, I finally decided to come up with this change plan."

Claude looked at Charles with piercing eyes, obviously with great eagerness.

"Although the previous plan was good, it was still too passive. We were waiting for the other party to make a move, but once you have you, it will be different—you can replace the seat of the Grand Duke of Brittany!"

Gorman was still calm, after all, he had heard it once, but Charles, who heard the plan for the first time, was really taken aback.

"That is to say, you need to become a 'traitor', while completely crucifying the Breton family on the pillar of shame, and at the same time, as fire oil pretending to be water, you only need to wait for an order to destroy the merchant alliance. All the strengths on the Brittany peninsula have been completely burned!"

Charles stared at Claude dumbfounded, he finally understood what the other party meant.

"Captain, what do you mean, let me take the place of the Grand Duke of Brittany, cooperate with the Merchant Alliance, lure them to the mainland, and then wipe them all out?"

"That's right, Charles, your reaction is quick."

Claude praised.

"No, no, but, boss, this is traitorous..."

"How can this be considered treason? This is just to stop the loss in time. Your cheap father is already betraying the country. In order to prevent the other party's traitorous behavior from causing more terrible damage to the empire, we must take the initiative to do what he can do. In this way It will leave him nowhere to go.”

Claude's plausible sophistry.

"If you really think this kind of behavior is traitorous, then, should you let a person who has no feelings for the country betray the country, or choose a person who loves the empire to betray the country? Which situation can minimize the damage to the country? , I think this can be answered without thinking, right?"

[So why is the premise that you have to betray the country? 】

'It's so ridiculous-this is the end of being led by the nose. It seems that you already know my methods very well. '

[That is to say, you don't want to lie to me in the future. 】

'When have I lied to you? '

Claude chuckled from the bottom of his heart, but there was no change in expression on his face, he just looked at Charles, and the other party nodded awkwardly.

'You see, he's been fooled. '

[So your rhetoric and routines are the same. 】

'Because it's really easy to use, no one has seen through my methods until now, right?So why should I switch? '

【... What you said makes sense. 】

"But...how can I replace the Grand Duke of Brittany? Compared with him, I have no leverage or capital at all."

"Yes, but the biggest difference between you and him is that you don't have any desire for the Breton family, or even the entire Principality of Brittany. On the contrary, you don't mind these things being destroyed, right?"

"Correct."

"Then you have a lot more to promise than the Grand Duke—for example, the entire Brittany peninsula."

Claude clapped his palm on the map.

"You mean, let Mr. Charles use his inheritance as a bargaining chip to sell the entire Principality of Brittany to the Chamber of Commerce?"

Gorman had already understood what the other party was going to do, but Charles was still a little confused, so the fat man turned his head and explained to him.

"My lord means that you can use what you may get in the future to make a promise to the business alliance."

"Promise something that I can get in the future...does this sound a bit weird?"

Charles looks weird

"It's like borrowing money that requires collateral, as long as you can prove that you are likely to obtain those things in the future, then you can mortgage it now in exchange for enough money to obtain those things-you promise to the Chamber of Commerce, if If the Chamber of Commerce helps you seize the throne of the Grand Duke of Brittany, then you agree to jointly rule the Brittany Peninsula with the other party."

"what!"

The man is already dumbfounded.

"Don't worry, the Merchant Alliance is now obsessed with the mainland. Their comprehensive smuggling and infiltration of the empire is all for this goal, so you will definitely be able to deceive them—for the empire. Instead of defending against thieves for a thousand days, it is better to complete their work in one battle, completely wipe out the power of the merchant alliance in the land war that the empire is best at, and then land on the Messiah Islands to completely destroy this group of silverfish!"

Claude's impassioned voice made the listener involuntarily feel a sense of mission.

"But...Captain, I'm just a loner. I have nothing but a surname. How can I convince the Chamber of Commerce that I have this ability?"

Ciel has realized the importance of this plan, but he can still find the problem.

"Of course there will be, that's why I sent him on this mission with you."

Claude pointed to Gorman.

"Do you think that Gorman has been undercover in the Theocracy for ten years and only gained intelligence? Then you are completely wrong—he used his identity to gather and shelter a large number of Wallachia refugees. "The young man laughed, "These people are people who have gone through hardships, and all of them are men who can become warriors after training, not to mention that there are many of them who are soldiers or knights themselves, although they may be old. A little, but as a mercenary, he is very strong."

Gorman lowered his eyes and silently began to recite his own personality.

"Walachian mercenaries..." Charles looked at Gorman with a delicate expression.

"Don't worry about paying the bill, the Imperial Intelligence Agency has already arranged everything, and I offered the other party a price they couldn't refuse."

Claude chuckled.

"You can announce to the outside world that they are the followers you recruited in the imperial capital and are completely loyal to you-if you have half a knight order, will the Chamber of Commerce feel that you really have captured the Grand Duke of Brittany? Qualifications for the position?"

Charles nodded. The most important thing for an heir is to have his own armed forces. Once he brings these thousands of people back to the Brittany Peninsula, he will definitely make his idiot brother go into cardiac arrest in an instant. .

"I see, I have fully understood."

"Don't blame me for speaking too directly, Charles, externally, you can instruct Gorman to do anything, but when you communicate internally, he has the command of you and the entire army—in addition, once you encounter anything similar to bargaining You can leave it to him to talk about things like that."

Claude said solemnly.

"I know, after all, I'm just a rookie who just joined the intelligence agency."

Charles scratched his scalp.

"When do I leave?"
