Public trial?You deserve it too!

[But the other party will definitely know all your military information, but you will know nothing about the other party! 】

"It's a joke, the landlord will definitely lose if he plays his cards clearly?"

Claude snorted coldly.

"I said, the Trident of the Empire, the North Sea Fleet, the Northern Knights Army Group, and the Eastern Infantry Army Group, the three halberd points are the sharpest. The Theocracy cannot withstand the impact of these three troops. Prepare Any tricks outside the market are false."

[What is the emperor? 】

"The emperor is the one holding the trident. The current situation is that the trident lacks a handle to combine it into a whole, making it invincible."

[So you are the halberd that the old emperor has been looking for? 】

"...Considering that this is a homophonic stalk, and we are in a Western fantasy world, I will not complain." Claude gritted his teeth and accepted the other party's words. "Yes, I am a halberd handle—a necessary puzzle piece that can fully bring out the advantages of the trident's three halberd points."

The system pondered for a while.

[So that is to say, the Theocracy wants to attack the emperor by attacking the emperor. When you did not show up, this was a comeback plan, but now that you have you, the empire's war machine has been assembled. Still thinking about dealing with the emperor who controls the switch, but it's actually useless? 】

"Yes, if it weren't for me, they would definitely try their best to get the emperor to start the war as soon as possible, because in this case, he can only be the commander-in-chief by himself. Therefore, the plan of the Theocracy is, in this general mobilization of the whole people, After the start of the war, killing the king, leaving the empire in a leaderless state, and then raising an emperor with a bad reputation, shaking the hearts of the people of the empire, then this war to conquer the mainland will completely change its flavor!"

Claude looked cold.

"At the same time, the three strongest troops of the empire have all been mobilized and left their 'local battlegrounds'. This building will immediately come to an end—because if Ludwig cannot win enough support, the empire will fall into a virtual split. I don't need to say more about what kind of tricks come out?"

The boy sneered and clapped his hands.

"No wonder, this also explains why they have been delaying other fronts - the Holy Kingdom just wants to make the emperor think that as long as one battle against the Holy Kingdom is successful, then the empire's victory is [-]%! So they waited until the empire had enough When the strong, powerful plan to conquer the mainland is enough to implement, it will start to jump up, repeatedly testing the bottom line of the empire, and teasing the emperor to attack them."

"Because only the Theocracy is strong enough to fully mobilize the Empire, but it is impossible to achieve a quick victory - and the Theocracy seems weak enough, at least it can be killed by the Empire alone, and it is also against the Empire The leader of the alliance, and as long as the leader is gone, the empire's overall victory on the mainland is doomed in the future!"

[So they hope that the emperor did not hold his breath at the last moment of the plan, and continued to fight in the order of the business alliance-orcs-the Theocracy, but wanted to finish their work in one battle and destroy the Theocracy first?In this way, the anti-imperial alliance can be self-destructed, and then the other forces can be wiped out one by one? 】

"Yes, because only to deal with the Theocracy, will the old emperor need to raise his army, drive his own conquest, leave the imperial capital, a land under his complete control, take away the tens of thousands of loyal troops, and go to the place where the Theocracy has infiltrated On the land of the country—that way, the rats in the gutter will dare to come out and start messing around!"

[But now, such a strategy is useless, right?Because of you, even if the Theocracy's plan succeeds, you will definitely stand by Ludwig's side and help him quickly quell all rebellions and ensure that the empire does not fall into a precarious situation, so that the other party will still have to face a unified The empire can no longer stir up shit. 】

Claude frowned again.

"No, I'm afraid that I still fell into the other party's trap."

【why? 】

"Because there is not enough money and food."

The young man sighed.

"Soldiers and horses have not moved, food and grass go first. The empire raises aristocrats as pigs, and they are planning to raid their homes at once to get enough money, silver, food and grass—especially the problem of food and grass. This cannot ignore objective laws. The warehouse of the empire, Coupled with the storage of the great nobles, it is the key to supporting this war."

"Once the opposite plan is successful, no matter what, the transportation of food will inevitably suffer heavy losses. In addition, the counter-insurgency within the army also needs a lot of food, not to mention the refugee wave after the military disaster, etc. Once the other party succeeds, then This war can't be fought—and once the empire's plan starts to falter, it will be difficult to think about it again."

There was a wry smile on the corner of Claude's mouth.

"After all, a pig can only be killed once."

【So all hope now is to never let the emperor be confused and continue to wait for the opportunity, and also to ensure that after the war starts, there will be no large-scale rebellion within the empire, and the progress of the frontline war will not be affected. 】

"That's right...it's just that there's no guarantee." The boy closed his eyes again. "After all, this old emperor is also an outstanding man. People's hearts are unpredictable. Who knows what he will do? After all, seeing that the big plan is about to come true, and he is not old yet, isn't this a kind of suffering?"

"It's like a balance, as long as there is a little stimulation, it may fall to one side, and the worst thing is that we can't even intervene in this balance to add weight to both ends, let alone know where it is now. One end hangs down."

[Can't you too? 】

"The emperor is not so easy to get along with - accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger is not a metaphor, but a fact. How can the emperor's heart be persuaded by my words?"

Claude sat up straight suddenly and opened his eyes.

"——So, I have to let the emperor face a situation where riding a tiger is difficult, a situation where he must clean up the business alliance first, and a situation where he must kill the business alliance first even if he is tempted to fight the Jiaoguo!"

[This... can this be done?By telling the emperor that this time the orcs were instigated by the Business Alliance?can this work? 】

"Of course not. After all, the support of the Merchant League is a lice on a bald man's head. Obviously, this situation can't make the emperor want to kill the Merchant League."

Claude stood up from the chair and walked to the cabin.

【Teacher, are you going there? 】

"Go to someone who really understands the business alliance and ask about the situation."

Claude's footsteps were steady and firm.

"A person who looks down on both the great nobles and the business alliance, must he be able to inspire me a little?"

All beings are children: Chapter 157, Chapter 140, Chapter 17, [-] years old, a student (X) is Zaku (√)

"Charles, are you there?"

Claude knocked on the room next to him.

"I'm here, who is it?"

The young knight opened the door and saw that it was Claude. He scratched his head in confusion, but he quickly stood aside and let Claude into his room.

"Although it's a bit abrupt, I think that after a side-by-side battle, we should already have the most basic mutual trust." Claude looked at Charles Brittany sincerely, " I think our school year is coming to an end soon. So, Knight of the Shire, before our next school year officially begins, I would like to have a frank talk with you."

Charles was silent, hesitation appeared on his face, but it was quickly replaced by firmness and relief, he nodded heavily, and looked at Claude.

"...I understand, Captain Claude, if you have any questions, just ask, I will know everything, and I will say everything."

Claude also nodded, so he stopped making rounds and said straight to the point what he wanted to say.

"You know, judging from the merits I have gained from the school year experience, I have actually met the requirements for early graduation-becoming a genuine imperial major. This time I return to Beijing, I think I should apply based on this. Graduated from the Imperial Military University, and as an outstanding graduate, I can also get a unit that belongs to me alone."

Charles nodded. He knew that after returning to the imperial capital, Claude's military rank would only be higher or lower, because just what he heard about the opponent's record was already an existence that even veterans could only look up to.

In the northern border, Claude performed a special mission assigned by the military, and rescued captured enemy civilians from the orcs. After that, he beheaded the enemy chieftain in the battle of Lake Ladoga, deterring hundreds of orcs from surrendering; On the front line, Claude broke the back for the entire academy team, and even wiped out three established elf squads by himself, becoming famous in the Eastern Legion.

But this time, facing the raid of the orc battleship formation, just by seeing it with his own eyes, the opponent killed at least hundreds of orcs in this battle, and fought for dozens of miles, three in and three out.First fight from the sea to the land, destroy the orc shaman ritual, and defeat an entire snow wolf cavalry; then fight from the land to the sea, destroy the fleet array and trebuchets, cover the beachhead; Annihilate the orc troops that landed by themselves.

What's even more outrageous is that in the process, the other party sank an orc warship by himself, damaged several ships, and even remained unscathed.

(A certain red horned triple speed called the expert directly.)

After turning his mind around and coming back, Charles couldn't help but twitched at the corner of his mouth——

The guy opposite seems to be 17 years old... Is he really human?

"You know, both Georgie and Randolph have been comrades-in-arms with me for two years. We know each other well. I believe that with their abilities, even if they join my army for an internship, they will continue the last part of the course. It's also in time, but I don't know you very well, so this time, I want to ask your opinion—Knight Shire, are you willing to join my team without reservation?"

Charles was taken aback by Claude's earnest words.

He hadn't seen such a sincere person for a long time.

He hesitated, did not answer directly, raised his head, and began to ask Claude with some hesitation.

"I think you should know the meaning of my surname?"

"Bastard son of the Grand Duke of Brittany, I know, Randolph told me some basic news."

Claude nodded.

"Then you should know that I actually belong to the faction of the great nobles, and you, as the guardian knight of His Royal Highness Letitia, have long been branded as Her Royal Highness Ludwig's henchmen. Why did you come to recruit people from two different ways? If I join your army, would you be willing to believe me?"

Charles stared closely at Claude's eyes.

"I don't care about the label on a person, I only care about what kind of person he is-when you chose to stand by my side that night, did you ever care about which camp I was in? So from From then on, I decided that you must be a competent knight."

Claude laughed.

"So what about the great nobles, what about joining His Royal Highness Augustus, as long as you are willing to be under my command, I will naturally trust you. This is my promise to you as a comrade-in-arms."

Charles pursed his lips, and there was only a flame of enthusiasm in the pupils of Claude and him looking at each other. This light even made him a little ashamed - he actually judged the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

"I... I see, I am willing to be your subordinate, Claude, no, sir."

"Great! But just call me Claude."

Claude hugged Charles happily. Obviously, the knight on the opposite side was not used to this kind of enthusiastic communication, but the response was also very quick. When the two sat down again, the expressions on their faces relaxed a lot.

The two then started chatting all over the world, and Claude naturally brought the topic to the Chamber of Commerce.

"This time, I really didn't expect that the captains of the orc warships were all human beings—I don't think anyone except the Merchant Alliance would do such a despicable thing! These guys should all be hanged on my battleship to dry on the mast!"

Charles looked at Claude's face full of righteous indignation, and nodded, with an expression of approval on his face.

"Yeah, these guys are all scum who value gold coins more than anything else. Whoever blocks their way to make money is their most hated enemy-this is how the empire exists for them."

Claude listened carefully, and Charles was obviously willing to say a few more words in this regard.

"As much as these businessmen love money, they hate the empire—because the huge market of the empire is only a part of it, and it is still a very small part. As an alliance that spreads trade to the whole world, only the Church Such a large trading target is obviously not enough, they are extremely eager to have a foothold on the mainland, so that they can completely avoid the empire's trade city decree, so as to sell goods to the entire continent."

"So that's the case. No wonder Duofang went to help the orcs, presumably to suppress the empire? Claude nodded in a sudden realization, and then pretended not to care.

"I seem to have heard that the Brittany family seems to be... er, very close to the Merchant Alliance?"

"Don't be so euphemistic. Brittany is just playing smuggling with the Merchant Alliance. This is a tactic that the Merchant Alliance has no choice but to adopt." Charles obviously scoffed at the family named after him, and didn't think there was anything wrong with it. means to be offended. "The empire's thoughts on the merchant alliance have long been clear, so it has been strictly guarding against the landing of the merchant alliance. Although the empire is at a disadvantage in the navy, it can rub against the islanders on the opposite side, so as long as the merchant alliance lands, the empire will We will fight back immediately."

"You know, even in the Iberian Peninsula, which is far away from the core area of ​​the empire, the Merchant Alliance has no way to gain a foothold on it. The Spanish Knights of the Empire have no idea how much blood the Merchant Alliance army has. They hate them extremely, but they call them 'Screamers' in fear - because they carry countless horns, and once they find any point where the merchant alliance has landed, they will charge forward roaringly, killing everyone Go back to sea."

Claude nodded thoughtfully, already having some eyebrows in his heart.

"So they can rely on the navy to play smuggling. The Duke of Brittany is notoriously greedy for money. He probably thinks that the Imperial North Sea Fleet can't get into the Messiah Strait at all, and they can't get evidence, so they have nothing to fear. ?”

Charles sneered, and there was obviously no respect or reverence for his father in his words.

Claude narrowed his eyes slightly.

"By the way, Charles, I still remember that after the breakup, when we introduced ourselves for the first time, you only introduced your first name, but didn't say your last name—you and your family don't seem to have much relationship good?"

Charles' face darkened slightly, only to hear Claude pat his chest.

"It's okay, leave this kind of problem to me. If you want to do something difficult, tell me in advance. If the Brittany family dares to trouble you, I will beat them all and throw them out. His Highness De Weixi blames it, at worst, I will take you to the border directly, and it is absolutely impossible for anyone to dare to come and make trouble."

The knight was amused by Claude's careless hooliganism. He waved his hand, indicating that the problem was not as serious as Claude said.

"The old man, the Duke of Brittany, just wanted to find an opponent for his own son. He actually didn't care about me at all. He just wanted me to live to stimulate his useless son. Only the orthodox heir wanted to kill him every day. I, I just got into trouble with that family to protect myself—but these idiots never ask me if I really want to inherit the Brittany family?"

There was a bit of depression in Charles' voice, but there was also a sense of relief. Obviously, this matter had been on his mind for a long time.

"Joke! I grew up in the slums of the imperial capital. If I hadn't met a kind couple, I would have died a long time ago. At that time, where were my real parents? Oh yes, I forgot, I still only have Such a 'father' who stood up, but still didn't know who my mother was."

"My parents, well, that's what I've always called them. They had a daughter, one year younger than me. I took her with me, protected her, and fought with the gangsters. Later, when I was about 12 years old, I Started to show a little bit of my knight talent, the fights became more serious, and some gangs began to recruit me, but I didn't bother to be with them-until a man named Friedrich stood in front of me and told me, I hoped that I could help him rescue a group of orphans who were forced to beg, so I helped him."

Claude was very surprised to hear a familiar name.

"Then he established the Orphan Gang, determined to help every orphan he saw. I was moved by his idea, and I found that it was really difficult for one person to take care of my sister and parents—so I agreed to him. Together, we overthrew the gang that was entrenched there and formed the cleanest gang."

"Later, my strength grew day by day. Friedrich told me that I had the talent to become a knight officer, saying that I should not be a bastard for the rest of my life, at least for the sake of my sister, and I should also try to make a difference. So He chipped in and let me go to the knight academy set up by the military in the imperial capital. My talent began to show, and when I graduated successfully, I got the admission letter of the Imperial Military University. Then my father came and brought a The inexplicable letter told me that I was his son—if he hadn’t brought a large group of guards with him, I would have rubbed his face against the soles of my shoes.”

Charles pointed a middle finger at the window very rudely.

"And then it became like this, I got a new name for no reason, and a lot of enemies-the only good thing is that I still got some money from the old guy and paid Friedrich Xi’s money, and the rest was given to my parents, which made life much easier for them and gave my sister the opportunity to go to college.”

Having said that, Charles' tone has improved a lot, and it is obvious that he has put down the most angry part.

"Who cares about that shit family! I was just taken back to stay for half a year, and my whole body was so uncomfortable that I would die. If I couldn't beat my cheap brother and his servants every day to vent my anger, I wouldn't be able to take it anymore."

"Uh, so, what do you plan to do in the future? This surname is easy to handle, but if you want to get rid of it..." Claude's expression was a little subtle.

"I've already thought about it."

Charles seemed to be in high spirits.

"Those pedantic nobles are still playing with the pure blood theory. As long as they marry commoners, they will lose their inheritance rights. I plan to marry the daughter of my adoptive parents after graduating from university, and get rid of 'Brittany' at the bottom. This surname is not as good as shit, and then go to the army as a commoner knight, and live like this for the rest of your life."

Claude nodded slightly, which is also a solution, but the Shire knight has obviously fallen into a "stupid brother mode".

"Let me tell you, my sister is amazing, she is good-looking, and has a kind heart like my parents. She has liked me since she was a child, and she has been calling me brother since I was a child. Would she marry me before?" When it was given to me, the shy look really made people want to take a bite..."

The young man smiled and listened to Charles showing off his adopted sister—maybe he was showing off his wife. He couldn't see his previous cold appearance. He really looked like a young man full of hope for the future. I am talking eagerly about the upcoming beauty with the friends I just made.

All living beings are children: Chapter 158 Chapter 140 Five Sustainable chess pieces are good chess pieces

"...Sorry, I don't think I should say all this stuff...well, I mean, well, I'm a little excited, you know, I haven't been with friends in a long time-oh, I'm Speaking of true friends, it’s not… that, the kind of noble etiquette exchange… you know.”

After Charles was released from the frenzy mode, he felt awkward after a while. It seemed that because he had been staying in the Breton family for the past two years, he seldom spoke. Everything poured out.

"Not at all, or rather, I'm still very envious." Claude shook his head with a smile, "I'm an only child, and I'm the only one in my family. I've never experienced life with brothers and sisters. Not to mention Say, you still love a girl who loves you, that's what I'm looking forward to."

Charles scratched his head and smiled a little naively.

"Then don't bother, let's talk about the future, and it won't be too late after we drink your wedding wine."
