Chapter 26: Starting a War (17)
"Calorin? Impossible!! This thing..."
The Duke of Aquitaine's eyes widened, but Dust was still ignorant and smiled humbly beside him:
"So, Duke, is this thing useful? If it works, can you give me some rewards and let me change the wine? In this way, I don't have to sell this bow..."
The Duke of Aquitaine slowly turned his head to Dust, his eyes terrifying:
"A civilian, if he makes a wrong statement in front of a noble or shows a little rudeness, may be beheaded. Therefore, when ordinary civilians see a noble, they will avoid their sight, lower their heads, and try to speak as little as possible to avoid making mistakes. But looking at you, they are not afraid of me at all. Why is this? Can you explain it?"
This is the most severe test. It reminds Dust that the performance just now may have gone too far.
At this time, even if you show a little timidity, you will be caught by the Duke of Aquitaine. But Dust seemed to be fine, not only was he not afraid, but he said more:
"Don't you think I'm used to be useless in the court twice? I've seen so many things like Duke, Earl, General, Princess, etc., but I can get through this mouth. I know nothing about what books and scriptures you want to say, but if you want to talk about adventure stories, what are the experiences and interesting stories of all countries, then I'll just open my mouth. It's just that something is bad. This thing attracts the attention of the noble lady, and then I'll suffer again. But Duke, you are a man, what am I afraid of? If you like it, I'll tell you one: In the Okedes Islands in the North Sea, there is a kind of tree that will grow ducks. In summer, duck embryos will be born from the tree, and then fall from the tree when it matures. At this time, there is nothing to see from the appearance, but if the fruit rolls into the sea, wings will grow in a short time..."
"Enough! I don't have time to listen to you!"
The Duke of Aquitaine stopped Dust's nonsense, then turned his head to the soldiers beside him and drank:
"Let my knights arrive here in the shortest time! Riding on war horses and fitting armor!"
"yes!"
"Let all lords quickly ignite their troops. I will go to find Count Kelshe first. After they order their troops, they will come immediately!"
"yes!"
"let--"
"Duke, then my reward?" Dust interrupted Duke Aquitaine with little tact, and smiled humbly and stretched out his hands.
The Duke of Aquitaine was angry and threw a silver coin to Dust: "Give it to you! Get out!"
Butdast took the silver coins and was still there and refused to leave: "Duke, this is a little small. Why don't I tell you another book and you can add some money to me..."
"Enough! I'll let you get out! Get out!"
"Then, Duke, see if there are any positions in your palace that can make me a living..."
Count Kelshe's "betrayal" has put the Duke of Aquitaine on the verge of collapse, and Dust has been disturbing him while he was dispatching troops. All the anger in his heart was vented on Dust:
"Get out! If you don't get out, I'll chop your head!"
"Okay, okay, duke, don't be angry, I'll leave, I'll leave, the price, etc., I'll talk about it next time..."
Dust moved carefully and left the Duke of Aquitaine "extremely reluctantly".
The Duke of Aquitaine was anxious. If Count Kelsch really took the benefits of the Count of Ile de France and turned around to attack the Duke of Aquitaine, his basic position would be uprooted. And if you think about it carefully, it is not completely impossible. After all, his name has appeared in the manifesto issued by the candidates for joint signature. He has been accused of being evil, betraying him, and even reasonably righteous!
Therefore, as soon as he issued the order, he immediately rushed to the stable, wishing to fly to Earl Kelshe and ask for it clearly.
"Duke," a confidant hurriedly followed behind him, reminding, "What should we do if we go to war like this?"
"Paris?"
The Duke of Aquitaine's footsteps obviously stopped for a moment - he realized that if he left Paris now and some forces took advantage of this gap to siege, it was very likely that Paris and the Duke of Aquitaine would be lost.
"The Pirate Kingdom has been withdrawn... Will anyone really come to siege the second time?"
He stared at his confidant and asked questions.
"It's not true...but what if...that's what the enemy thinks about?"
After thinking a little, the Duke of Aquitaine gritted his teeth and stomped his feet hard: "My territory has been truly threatened, and Paris will be besieged just speculation. If you look forward to it, then you can only wait to die! No matter what, take a gamble and chase Count Kelsey!"
"But, Duke, I always feel... played in my hands by the enemy!"
"Are you playing with by the enemy?"
The Duke of Aquitaine raised his head and took some time to calm his mind. Then, he smiled coldly:
"It's right... I can't let Carolin be so satisfied. Then... Is it a little surprise for him?"
The light cavalry in the Duke of Aquitaine's army was basically concentrated in the hands of Earl Kelshi. The ones who rushed out of Paris by the Duke of Aquitaine were all heavy cavalry. Although the number was not large, this was the most elite unit of the Duke of Aquitaine. The sound of horse hooves hit the ground, rumbling like thunder.
The Duke of Aquitaine, who was eager to chase Count Kelshe, naturally would not know that when he passed by Monfore, the movements of his troops were detected again, and after several changes, they came to Caroling.
I'm afraid no one would have thought that Ella would ambush the ambush in the same place twice. The only ones who took Earl Kelshe and his party back to the Duke of Aquitaine were Alfred and the candidates, while Caroling was still stationed in the territory near Monfore. He held the swordsmen of the two hundred swordsmen in his hand. When the Duke of Aquitaine chased, the troops were equivalent to going around the rear of the Duke of Aquitaine.
"Heavy cavalry? That should be just the vanguard. If Earl Kelshi rebels, the Duke of Aquitaine would not have only brought such a few people to die. Wait, there will be a large enemy force behind it."
Carolin sat on a stone and stared coldly ahead. The Duke of Aquitaine was defeated. Ella assigned her a task to attack the Duke of Aquitaine and constantly attacked the Duke of Aquitaine from the rear. After the Duke of Aquitaine and Earl Kelshy had finished fighting, he would join forces with Ella and Alfred to encircle and annihilate the remaining enemies.
"In addition, there was a message from the city of Paris." The messenger stuffed a note into Caroling's hands. "It seems that they have not found out that you are not in the cell. You are going to initiate a public trial on you today. This matter is very big. I heard that even the guillotine is already preparing."
The air suddenly silenced.
Carolin turned his head slowly and stiffly, his eyes filled with fear:
