Chapter 745 The Prince and Another Prince (Part 1)
"Haha, it's not really a plan, it just needs to be done both internally and externally."
Above the main hall, the Black Duke, with his hands behind his back, smiled coldly and said lightly: "In this case, even if the opponent now occupies such a vast territory, he will definitely die in a few days."
"How should we act specifically? Please tell me sir."
The eldest prince's gray eyes full of anger lit up, and he immediately asked with great interest.
"Back to Your Highness, as I just said, if you want to deal with the Lord Nakong Qing and the fifth princess, the best time is to take advantage of their unstable foothold."
The Black Duke, with his hands behind his back, walked slowly in the hall while continuing: "The so-called progress of internal and external progress requires starting from two aspects at the same time."
"Internally, we are trying every means to intensify the contradiction between the new citizen class in each city and the fifth princess, so that the two will continue to conflict, so that the other side will become chaotic without fighting."
"According to the latest intelligence, the Lord of Kongqing City has captured at least three legion-sized surrender troops. Together with the garrison troops recruited from various cities in the mountain fortress, the number is close to the size of five legions. This is very difficult for the Lord of Kongqing City, who has limited troops. Said, it is undoubtedly a magic bomb that may explode at any time.”
"Thus, it will definitely find a way to quickly eliminate this extremely unstable factor. According to my inference, there are only three methods: killing, imprisonment and coolie, and no matter which one it is, it is enough for us to take advantage of it. , making a big fuss about it.”
"After all, the innocent fifth princess advocates restoring the free farmers to their original status. This will inevitably conflict with the new citizen class who have vested interests."
Although the Black Duke's tone was calm, there was murderous intent in it: "In this way, and in addition to the heavy losses suffered by the new citizen class in this battle, he was already resentful of the fifth princess as the winner, so the situation naturally remained silent. And it’s a metaphor.”
"As expected of you sir, what you said makes sense!"
The eldest prince nodded suddenly and said solemnly: "For me, even if those untouchables are divided into three, six or nine grades, they are just a group of insignificant untouchables. Being able to use them as spearmen is simply a shame. Perfect! ”
"Hehehe, what His Royal Highness the Prince said is absolutely true."
Sable, who was almost scared to pee just now, saw the right opportunity and quickly echoed: "As long as we use some tricks, those untouchables will definitely work for His Highness the Great Prince! What's even more ridiculous is that they are still helping His Highness count the golden dragons after being betrayed. ”
"Haha, Minister Sable is really getting smarter and smarter. With the help of capable ministers like you, His Highness the Great Prince will be able to seize the throne soon."
The Black Duke first flattered Sable with a calm tone, and then said to the eldest prince: "Your Highness, as long as the Lord Kong Qing and the fifth princess are allowed to mess around, they will be no different from the fish on the chopping board."< br>
"This move is very popular with me. I will plan it in detail soon."
The eldest prince nodded thoughtfully, and then said to the Black Duke: "Sir, in addition to the internal aspect, as for the external aspect you mentioned, it is to assemble a large army and counterattack in one fell swoop while the other party is busy taking care of themselves, right?"
"Back to Your Highness, that's exactly what happened."
The Black Duke stopped, touched his chest gracefully and bowed: "However, there are two problems that cannot be ignored."
"Sir, the problem you are referring to is the second child and the fourth child, right?"
The eldest prince's originally soothing brows knitted together again, and he said with a sinister look: "I underestimated these two guys before, especially the second one who was hiding so much, but I didn't expect that he was also assisted by a fifth-level powerhouse. , it seems that the previous decline was just a deliberate selling of flaws. Fortunately, I was not careless.”
"Your Highness is wise, but please don't worry, Your Highness. Although the whereabouts of the White Knight are unknown, I am still here. My strength is not comparable to that of the White Knight."
The Black Duke still maintained a respectful posture, waved his hand and said: "Currently, the second prince has gradually begun to surface, and this battle has also suffered heavy losses. The most worrying thing is the fourth prince. This is the true hidden secret." The one that’s not revealed.”
"Indeed, my mysterious and gloomy fourth brother, who usually lives in seclusion and has not even seen me a few times, is able to fight on par with the strong men under my command. Even if the strong men loyal to him are captured, They all self-destructed and died, leaving no trace of a flaw.”
The eldest prince snorted coldly and said with murderous intent on his face: "Recently, the fourth child has also begun to hibernate. It is obvious that he is sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight. He really has to be on guard."
After a pause, the eldest prince frowned again and said: "I completely understand what you mean, sir. Although I don't want to say it, the entire Lengyan Kingdom has formed a four-way competition for the throne. How should we deal with this situation? To kill the Lord Nakong Qing and my stupid sister in such a complicated situation?”
"After hearing what His Royal Highness the Prince said, I seem to understand."
Sable twisted his fat body, and said with a heavy look on his fat face: "If our army takes action without permission, the second prince and the fourth prince will definitely take advantage of the situation and reap the benefits. By then, we will be in vain." If the city lord and the fifth princess are eliminated, they will probably just make wedding clothes for others.”
"Minister Sable is right, so what I am going to do is very obvious."
The Black Duke's tone was still calm, and he said calmly: "Just make the complicated situation simple again."
"Making complex situations simple again?"
The burly body of the eldest prince, who was paralyzed on the throne, straightened up, his gray eyes lit up and he said: "How should we act specifically?"
"That is to temporarily form an alliance with one of the other two princes and let them send troops together to deal with the Lord Kong Qing and the fifth princess!"
The Black Duke smiled grimly and said shockingly: "In this case, the remaining prince, even if he wants to reap the benefits, has to consider whether he has the ability!"
"Sir's idea is indeed extraordinary."
The eldest prince pondered for a while and then said hesitantly: "But is this feasible? Once the allies suddenly change their faces, wouldn't I be in a situation where I am attacked from both sides?"
"His Royal Highness is not unreasonable to worry, but he has overlooked one key thing."
The unknown face of the Black Duke hidden under the hood revealed a sinister smile, and he responded: "As long as you find the right ally, this kind of thing will never happen."
"The right allies?"
The eldest prince's gray eyes turned, and while he caressed the golden throne armrest, he frowned in thought.
After a moment, the frowning eldest prince raised his face again, looked directly at the mysterious Black Duke below and said: "Sir, do you mean to choose the second child as an ally?"
"His Highness is worthy of being a wise and powerful man. He really has the appearance of a great emperor. He can get through it with just one click."
The Black Duke nodded slowly and began to explain: "In the battle in the east that just ended, the second prince suffered extremely heavy losses like His Highness. He lost a large area of territory, and he will inevitably have the same hatred towards the Lord of Kongqing City as His Highness. Hated to the core. ”
"It can also be seen from this battle that the Lord of Nakong Qing City is extremely cunning and is definitely not an ordinary person. Moreover, according to the latest battle report, when the new noble army was defeated, two hostile fifth-level strong men actually appeared on the battlefield. It is completely consistent with the information sent back from the White Knight and the attack and defense of the mountain fortress!”
"Coupled with the two generals of the kingdom, Bert and Jubai, who are no longer mere commanders, the overall strength of Lord Kong Qing and the fifth princess can already be said to be extremely good, so that this serious problem will continue If it continues to develop, the consequences will be disastrous.”
The Black Duke's calm voice, which made the traditional nobles present tremble, sounded again: "This simple truth is naturally understood clearly by the second prince. From this, at least the relationship between the Lord Kong Qing and the fifth princess , the second prince will not take action against us until these common enemies are destroyed.”
"So, are the rumors true? I didn't expect that the subordinates of that alien ant would actually have the loyalty of a fifth-level powerhouse, and there are two of them!"
The eldest prince slapped the armrest of the throne angrily and said with a ferocious expression: "Sooner or later, I will definitely crush this despicable ant!"
After calming down for a moment, the eldest prince nodded thoughtfully and said: "In this case, the only safe way to go now is to join forces with the second child."
"That's right, please rest assured, Your Highness, once the Lord of Nakong Qing City and the fifth princess are wiped out, I will have my own way to strike first and then suddenly launch an attack to eliminate the second prince's new noble army."
The Black Duke nodded and said confidently: "By then, His Highness will be not far from Leng Yan's throne."
"Then it all depends on sir."
The eldest prince nodded slightly, then frowned and said: "By the way, we must find the whereabouts of the White Knight as soon as possible. Although this guy is dull and dull, and would not regret his death, as a loyal dog, he is still very important to my path to the throne. ”
"Your Highness, please rest assured that I, Sable and other ministers are already conducting an exhaustive search."
The Black Duke bowed in salute, nodded in agreement and said, "Although the White Knight's strength is only at level five and three stars, as a level five powerhouse at the national level, he is indeed enough to scare ordinary opponents."
"Then I'll be relieved."
The eldest prince nodded with satisfaction and leaned on the golden throne again.
Not long after, he seemed to have remembered something, straightened up his eyebrows again and asked: "Since we want to cooperate with the second child, how should we contact him? As far as I know, although he is still in the royal capital, his whereabouts are unknown. It’s so elusive that it might take a while to find it.”
"Haha, Your Highness doesn't need to worry about this."
The Black Duke still had a calm tone and responded confidently: "Since we have thought of this level, the second prince, who is assisted by a strong man, must have also thought of it."
< br>
"As far as I know, the mysterious people assisting the second prince have amazing mobility, and they are vengeful beings. They will never sit back and wait for death."
There was a hint of confidence in the tone of the Black Duke: "If it goes as expected, the other party will come to you soon without me waiting to find him."
Sure enough, the Black Duke had just finished speaking.
Along with the sound of hurried footsteps, a middle-aged herald appeared at the door of the hall.
"Your Highness, the second prince, surrounded by a strong man in black wearing a white mask and ten new nobles, suddenly appeared outside the gate of the castle and said he wanted to see you!"
I saw the middle-aged herald kneeling on one knee, nervously and respectfully reporting: "How should I deal with it?"
"Oh? You're actually here?"
Hearing this, the traditional nobles at the bottom began to look at each other.
As the disputes in the royal capital intensified, the traditional nobles and the new nobles had already been mortal enemies of each other. Once they met by chance, it would inevitably cause a bloody storm.
This is the private castle of His Highness the Prince, with all kinds of defense facilities extremely complete. Even the number of personal guards is second only to the palace. I didn’t expect that the other party would come directly to the door with so many people!
You know, even if they are the traditional noble elites present together, they are enough to easily rival two fifth-level powerhouses!
"Your Highness, Mr. Hei happens to be here too. Why don't we just kill the second prince?"
The bloated Sable thought for a moment, stepped forward with a big belly, and said with murderous intent on his greasy face: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
"Yes, yes, I'll wait for reconsideration!"
Other traditional aristocratic ministers and military generals also echoed, and saw that every noble's face was full of murderous intent, causing a frightening and violent atmosphere to arise in the hall.
"Sir, what do you think?"
The eldest prince raised his hand, first signaling the traditional nobles to quiet down, and then asked the Black Duke.
"Back to Your Highness, the second prince is cautious and always does things in a flawless manner. Since he came to you on his own initiative, it means that he must be well prepared."
The Black Duke pondered for a moment, and then responded: "In my opinion, it is better to form an alliance, otherwise once he is lured to find the fourth prince, it will be detrimental to us."
"Exactly what I thought."
The eldest prince nodded and said with some helplessness: "If my extremely insidious brother could be killed so easily, then I would not be in such a passive situation today."
After speaking, the eldest prince ordered the other nobles: "If the other party is really here for the purpose of forming an alliance, no one should act rashly at that moment. Do you understand?"
"As you command, Your Highness the Great Prince!"
All the traditional nobles immediately held their chests and saluted, making a neat line.
Not long after, a tall and thin figure wearing a golden noble robe slowly walked in from outside the hall, surrounded by a group of figures exuding good looks.
"My dear brother Wang, you are well."
A joking and rather sharp voice sounded.
Above the magnificent hall, the tall and thin figure wearing a gorgeous golden noble robe gradually became clearer. (End of chapter)
