Tome of Blood

   "Crazy! The Legolis family is really crazy! They didn't even abide by the rules of war. Are they going to be enemies of all nobles?"

   "Shame! What a shame for the nobles! Your lord, the rebels did not take the "Holy Code" seriously for such barbaric actions, and must be severely punished!"

   "The Legris family... must pay the price!"

   "Master Earl! Our Gerrard family is willing to lead troops to fight first!"

   "Our Perrin family is also willing to be a pioneer!"

  In the camp of the commander-in-chief of the Castel coalition, the nobles who heard the news that the envoy had been cut were filled with righteous indignation, and almost exploded.

In the continent of Miria, since Charlemagne I, the founder of the Unet Empire, established the aristocratic system, as the biggest beneficiaries of the aristocratic system, human nobles have long regarded the glory of the aristocrats as extremely important, and even more so. It is no longer emphasizing order and rules all the time.

The destructive power of extraordinary power is too strong, and the aristocratic class does not have so many people to consume in wars. In addition, various aristocratic families have been married for thousands of years, and there is me in you, and you in me. During this period, the nobles will try not to kill.

   It is normal to win the war, capture the opponent alive, and then set a suitable ransom price to release the opponent.

  I won today, but you may win tomorrow. Staying on the same line is the common sense of war among the nobles of Miria.

   Today, seeing that the rebels killed the envoy without hesitation, all the nobles in the north were angry.

  No one else, in the human world of Miria, those who are qualified to negotiate as envoys in wars must also be nobles.

   In other words, the Legris family cut off a negotiating nobleman.

  For the nobles, the Legolis family's practice of beheading troops has undoubtedly severely damaged the rules of war established by the nobles for thousands of years, and it is a practice that is neither decent nor honorable.

   For a moment, the tent was full of anger and anger.

  Of course, whether the northern nobles were really angry because their glory was tarnished, or because they became confident and eager to make contributions after seeing the huge gap in strength between the enemy and us, it is unknown.

   Maybe, both.

  Charlotte sat on the main seat, quietly watching the nobles angrily denounce the barbarism of the Legolis family, competing to recommend themselves to fight.

  Perhaps as a time traveler, she did not have the noble honor concept cultivated from birth like the nobles of Miria, and her reaction was not as strong as that of the nobles.

   Angry?

   There are also some, but it’s okay, there are too many stories about Blue Star’s ancient formation.

   But the messenger who volunteered was really unlucky.

Originally, negotiating as an envoy before the war was a very easy and honorable matter for the nobles of Miria. Both sides in the war would often politely send the envoy back. When selecting candidates, Charlotte still remembered that there were many families competing Well, in the end, who knew that even his life was gone.

  Hmm... Which family is it from?

   "Your Excellency Baron Angus, the messenger of sacrifice... which family does it belong to?"

  Charlotte looked at the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces and asked.

  Although she is nominally the supreme commander of the coalition forces, most of the time she just sits on the sidelines and will not take the initiative to intervene in the command of the army.

   This march, the army's marching route, schedule, and possible battle plans were all formulated by the commander-in-chief, Baron Angus, Viscount Lane-Castel, and other nobles.

  Professional things are left to professional people. Charlotte knows that she has no experience in commanding the army.

  As a lord, she only needs to learn how to use people. She is not a "master of micromanagement", so there is no need to make it difficult for herself.

   It seemed that she sent an envoy to negotiate the matter, but she just nodded in agreement, and did not personally order anyone to go.

  After all, in her opinion, there is no need for negotiation in this war that must be fought and must wipe out Castel's rebellious power and the infiltration power of the Blood Demon Cult.

   "Lord Earl, he is a member of the Leon-Castel family, nephew of Viscount Leon, and Knight of Barle."

   Baron Angus said in a deep voice.

  Charlotte:  …

  Nephew of Viscount Leon-Castell?

  Charlotte couldn't help but look at the old Viscount on the other side, and saw that the other party had a gloomy expression, red eyes, and a face as black as the bottom of a pot.

  Seeing the other party's angry expression mixed with pain, Charlotte felt a little guilty. After all...she hadn't thought of negotiating at all, and the so-called sending envoys was just following the wishes of the nobles.

   "Your Excellency Viscount, my condolences..."

  After thinking about it, Charlotte still spoke to comfort her.

   Viscount Leon-Castel took a deep breath, and said in a heavy voice:

   "My lord, thank you for your consolation. Bala died for the honor of the nobility, an honorable death..."

   "The Legolis family betrayed the lord and desecrated the honor of the nobles. They are no longer worthy of being the noble lords of the Northland. Please order your troops to destroy them!"

   "War! Counterinsurgency!"

  Other nobles also echoed.

  Looking at the outraged nobles, Charlotte looked around, only to find that Baron Angus, the commander-in-chief, frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

  Charlotte's heart moved slightly:

   "Your Excellency Baron Angus, what are you thinking?"

   Baron Angus raised his head, hesitated, and said respectfully:

   "My lord, I think...the rebel army seems to be a little bit wrong."

   "Oh? Something's wrong? What's wrong?"

  Charlotte raised her eyebrows slightly and asked.

   Baron Angus then replied:

   "The scouts we sent reported that although the rebel army is large in number, its overall strength is much weaker than ours, and most of them are only conscripts."

   "If we fight head-on, I don't think they are our opponents at all."

   "However, after we approached, they did not retreat..."

   "This is not normal. Although they built a simple defensive camp by the river, it is not enough for them to fight against an army of nearly 30,000. Not only that...the scouts also reported that they did not find the cavalry unit of the Legelis family."

   "The cavalry unit of the Legris family is the elite of the rebel army, and it was also the elite of our Castel foreign war. The main force of the conscripts did not retreat, but there was no trace of the mobile elite. This...is not normal."

   "My lord, the rebels... I am afraid there is a conspiracy!"

   Baron Angus' voice was not loud.

  But after listening to his words, the outraged nobles quickly calmed down.

   They looked at each other, and saw a trace of surprise in each other's eyes.

   "Your Excellency the Baron, from what you can see, what are the rebels planning?"

   Viscount Lien-Castel frowned and asked.

   Baron Angus shook his head:

"I have no idea."

   "To be honest, I can't think of any other plans for the rebel army... In the face of absolute strength, everything is false. Even if the Legris family has cavalry, we also have tulip reinforcements..."

   "Tulip's reinforcements are Bold's elite standing force. With their support, the rebels have no chance of winning... However, their performance now seems to be too calm."

  After hearing what Baron Angus said, the nobles quickly fell into buzzing discussions.

   "Your Excellency the Baron, you said... Could it be that the rebels hired Chi Yang?"

  A young nobleman boldly guessed.

  In the world of Myria, extraordinary power is the decisive factor in war, and the nobles naturally think of a more powerful extraordinary.

   Baron Angus shook his head:

"Impossible, His Majesty the King has long issued an order that any extraordinary person whose strength has reached the blazing sun can obtain the title of earl after being loyal to the kingdom. It's the Viscount family, they can't hire Chi Yang."

"What about the mercenaries of East Unet? The Black Land of East Unet is a paradise for mercenaries. There are many extraordinary mercenaries whose strength reaches the blazing sun, and the territory of the Legris family is far away from the Black Land of East Unet." The land is not too far away, did they hire powerful extraordinary mercenaries?"

   Another noble guessed.

   Baron Angus continued to shake his head:

"It's also impossible. This is not a kingdom-level war. Let alone whether the Legaris family can afford the sky-high price of hiring Chiyang, even if it is successfully hired, it is bound by the "New Moon Kingdom Lord Conflict Rules". At best, Chi Yang only protects the safety of its employers, and will never easily step into the secular battlefield..."

  After hearing what Baron Angus said, the nobles frowned even deeper.

   After thinking for a while, Baron Angus' expression suddenly changed slightly.

   "My lord..."

  He looked at Charlotte, hesitant to speak.

  Looking at his dignified appearance, Charlotte guessed something in her mind, and asked:

   "Your Excellency the Baron, if you have any ideas, just say it."

   Baron Angus took a deep breath and said solemnly:

   "Master Earl, I have a question to ask you..."

   "Are you really sure that Earl Gaston's army is on our side?"

  As soon as these words came out, the nobles were all stunned.

  But soon, their expressions changed slightly and they fell into commotion.

   Yeah, there is definitely something wrong with the rebels acting so strangely.

  The strength and movement of the main force of the rebel army is not a secret. The opponent is so calm in the face of the approaching army, so calm that he is almost confident, so there must be someone behind him.

  On the current battlefield, the confrontational strength is nothing more than three forces, the rebel army headed by the Legris family, the coalition army headed by the Castel family, and the Bold reinforcements led by Earl Gaston.

   If there is a possible problem in any link, it can only be Bold's reinforcements.

   "This... can't it? Could it be that there is a problem with the reinforcements of the Tulip County?"

   "Impossible! Do you want to say that Boulder's army colluded with Castel's rebels?!"

   "Impossible? What is impossible? Have you forgotten who hired the necromancer to attack the Earl when the Earl returned to the territory?"

"That's just some rumors in the kingdom. I heard that it was released by the forces loyal to the second prince. It's not like you don't know about the rivalry between the two princes of the new moon. Besides, the Earl hasn't said anything yet. !"

  The nobles quickly fell into discussion, and the hall became chaotic again.

   Looking at the vegetable market-like camp, Charlotte is used to it.

  Under the feudal system of separation of powers, don’t expect these nobles to respect their lords like the subjects of the Celestial Dynasty treat their emperors like gods...

  However, by now, it is time to announce some things.

  The battle is imminent, and they are far away from Beigang. Even if there are spies arranged by the third prince among the nobles, there will be no news.

  Now that Baron Angus has pointed out a problem again, Charlotte feels that the time has come for a showdown with these vassals of her own.

  Thinking of this, she stretched out her hand and tapped the handle of the seat lightly.

  The voice is not loud, but combined with her extraordinary aura released along with the handle, it is very oppressive.

  The extraordinary aura of the second level of Yinyue gradually revealed, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

  Although Charlotte didn't completely expose her strength, the aura far surpassing Fan Xing's level one made the nobles present stagnate one after another, and soon fell into shock.

   "Silver...Silver Moon!"

  Viscount Leon-Castle's eyes widened and he almost lost his voice.

  It is difficult for him not to lose his composure, or to be precise, it is difficult for nobles who realize Charlotte's true strength not to lose their composure.

   You know, more than a year ago, Charlotte was just a nobleman who had not awakened extraordinary power.

  However, in just one and a half years, she not only broke through the stars, but now she even stepped onto the silver moon!

   Too fast, this speed is too fast!

   For a while, the nobles in the tent were silent.

  The status of nobles is bound to extraordinary power. Nobles with weak power, even if they have high titles, lack sufficient deterrence against nobles with strong extraordinary power.

   Now, with the power of the second level of Silver Moon and a young enough age, Charlotte is enough to frighten these nobles in her family.

  The reason why she chose to show a certain amount of strength at this moment is also to make her next words more powerful, so that these nobles who choose to be loyal to her have more confidence in Castel's future...

  Charlotte paused slightly, and said:

   "Since you are willing to come here with me, you can clearly learn from your loyalty to Castel, then... there are some things that I can tell everyone frankly."

   "Baron Angus is right. The rebels do have a conspiracy. They believe that they are the ones who won this war. They believe... Tulip's army will turn against them and fight against Castel against the army with them."

  After listening to Charlotte's words, the nobles froze for a moment, and soon fell into commotion:

   "My lord, is what you said true?"

   "My God! Do you mean that the rebels are really supported by the third prince?!"

  Charlotte reached out and pressed down, the extraordinary aura spread, and the nobles subconsciously quieted down.

   She glanced across the tent and said:

"That's right, the third prince is indeed supporting the rebels in our territory. Not only that, the third prince even colluded with the Blood Demon Sect, and his purpose is very clear, that is, to control the Castel territory... "

  As soon as these words came out, the nobles couldn't help but commotion again.

  Viscount Lien-Castel also said solemnly:

   "Lord Earl, please be careful! Being involved with the Blood Demon Sect is a serious crime! Slandering the royal family may also usher in the royal family's wrath..."

  Charlotte smiled and said:

   "Of course I have evidence, and... it's witness testimony."

   As she spoke, she looked outside the tent and said:

   "Your Excellency Earl Gaston, please come in."

   No more poses!
