Chapter 540 Marching into Honey River Township

"Failed?"

When Barnifus pushed open the door of Kush's palace, what entered his ears was the uncontrollable roar of Prince Condai.

The moment he saw Barneyforth, he first subconsciously stopped speaking, and after reacting, he endured his anger and asked Barneyforth to stand aside first.

"What did Puccilio say?"

La Cunho drank black tea slowly from a bone china cup: "The short-haired rebels can't enter the basin. Even if they have to attack by force, they won't have time to regain the entire territory in less than a month."

"Putzilio can be considered a queen of a famous family." Prince Condai pinched the letter in his hand, "Huh, Leanna, he can also be considered a titled knight? How come the people of Qianhe Valley are all wastes and cowards!"

After cursing a few words, he suppressed the anger of the Battle of the Lape River.

After all, this battle does not affect the overall situation. If you lose, you lose. Originally, he would not be so angry, but he has been more irritable these days.

In order to keep the Count of Guerinon, nobles and priests came to harass him one after another, which made him angry.

"Barneyforth, are you also here to plead for Galinon?"

Barneyforth forced a smile and was about to answer, but La Cunho grabbed his sleeve first and pulled him to sit down.

Picking up the gold cup, La Cunho poured a glass of wine for Barneyfors: "Don't look so grim now. Let's have a drink. We don't miss this time."

Hesitantly taking the wine, Barneyfors took a sip first, put it down, hesitated for half a second, drank it all in one gulp, and then raised his neck:

"There is a letter from the new Pope, asking you why you want to arrest the devout believer Count Guerinon?"

"Pious believer Guerinon..." Prince Condai was stunned for a moment, and then the confusion in his voice turned into anger, "I ask you, who wrote to the new pope."

Barneyfors smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I really don't know this."

"Okay, okay, there is such a powerful nobleman who can send letters to the Holy City within half a month, okay." Prince Condai laughed angrily.

Just as Horn was taking a boat to Rapid City, the Shadowless Man reported to Bishop Matteo the suspicion of interaction between Galinon and the Saint Sun Rebels.

Matteo submitted it to Prince Condai as a daily report, and Prince Condai, who had always been straight-tempered, immediately made a surprise visit to Guerinong's house.

Then he successfully discovered the black market dealing with the Saint Sun Rebels near his manor.

Of course, there is no direct evidence whether this black market was started by Galinon.

But in Prince Condai's view, if he can't control the black market near the manor, is he still a noble?

"What, does this Pope of Puglia also want to tie a dog leash around my neck? Without his support, I am doomed? Does he think he is the only pope?"

"Your Highness, be careful what you say." Barneyforth was so frightened that he jumped up from his chair. He didn't want to say this carelessly.

Now there is a civil war in Leia, and the two popes of France and Leia stand side by side. It is a sensitive time.

The church in Qianhe River Valley belongs to the northern papal camp. If this word spreads, it will not be stable for a while.

"Sir Barneyfors, can you go out for a moment?" After politely sending Barneyfors away, La Cunho turned around and assumed a class posture.

"You can't guarantee everyone's loyalty, Ciel, you have to make sure everyone can use it!"

"I don't care if there are one or two, but with so many people, is it possible that I will expose my backstory to this group of nobles who are cheating on me?" Standing in front of the window, Prince Condai turned his back to La Cunho, trying his best to suppress his anger.

"Isn't there only one Guerinon? Why are there so many involved?"

"It's obvious that he collaborated with the enemy, but the nobles still want to beg me for mercy. The immunity is not a reduction of guilt. Could it be that I am making trouble unreasonably?"

"Charles, you have to think more." La Cunho's tone was softer, and he pressed Prince Condai's shoulder. "Let me ask you, why does everyone think that it is impossible for Guerinon to make peace with the Saint-Sun Rebel Army?"< br>


"Because they are in a group and have to protect each other." Prince Condai insisted, "I have seen it a long time ago."

Racunho was a little helpless for a moment. His student was usually fine, but once his blood got the best of him, he would often do impulsive things that were beyond his imagination.

He hasn't even been promoted to a Grand Knight yet, so there are signs of him becoming a Grand Knight.

"If that's the case, it's impossible for everyone, including the bishop, to oppose you." La Cunho patiently explained to him, "Are all the people in the county short-haired?"

Prince Condai was silent for a moment: "What is the reason?"

"Gallinon is a noble, and the Saint Sun Rebels and Shorthair are in the same group. Their goal is to overthrow the nobles and the church." La Cunho spread his hands and said, "How can they support the people who overthrow themselves? They want to commit suicide. ”

Prince Condai's frown slowly relaxed. He stood up and walked around the room twice: "What's going on in the black market?" "Maybe it's for profit, maybe the butler made his own decision, maybe he's just stupid. ”

Prince Condai stopped talking.

Looking at Prince Condé's thinking eyes, La Cunho knew that he had been convinced.

La Cunho didn't care at all about these so-called nobles who "picked in and out" and "riding on the fence". This was a common problem among nobles.

The most important thing in the current Thousand River Valley strategy is the stability of Hotam County, otherwise the edict will not go anywhere.

As long as they can win, these collaborating nobles will naturally come down from the wall.

Even if you want to liquidate, you should use the power of victory after a big victory to accurately clean out these wall-riding factions at once.

We haven’t won the battle yet, so what are we settling for?

"Are you sure they are not collaborating with the enemy?"

"Is it possible with Meliati, or with the Saint Sun Rebels? I'm sure it's impossible."

Seeing the tangled look on Prince Condai's face, La Cunho, who knew him very well, knew that he had been convinced, but he was still struggling with his face and inherent cognition.

Lacunio didn't let him think too much and said directly: "In the future, they will all be your vassals. You can neither continue to imprison him, which will cause dissatisfaction among the nobles, nor can you let him go, which will cause harm." Your prestige.”

"What should we do?" Prince Condai asked subconsciously.

Racunho replied succinctly: "Let him serve his crime and go to the battlefield with you."

Prince Kong Dai's expression instantly relaxed. After entering the military camp, shouldn't he be able to do whatever he wants?

Even if he died on the battlefield, it was just because the battlefield was dangerous and he could not blame others.

La Cunho changed the subject: "Has the time been determined for sending troops to Lujiao Township?"

"OK."

Prince Kong Dai settled his worries and relaxed a lot: "We will set off in three days. Except for a few company captains of the imperial company and the leaders of the mercenary groups, I didn't tell anyone."

"That's good." In terms of troop dispatch and military affairs, Racunho still trusted Prince Condai. After all, he was a student trained by him.

"I really don't know what I would do without you. When I become the Prince of Qianhe River Valley, I will definitely give you the title of Duke."

"I have dedicated myself to the Holy Lord. What's the use of a title? Instead of a title, you might as well have a few more boys to continue the bloodline."

"Don't worry, one of my mistresses is pregnant, I don't have to worry anymore!"

"One is not enough. There are still three days. You must cheer up and work hard."

While smiling, La Cunho lowered his head and looked at the map on the table.

The Kingdom of Leia is still in a civil war, and based on the current strength comparison between the two sides, it won't end in another year or two.

The church, on the other hand, is busy with the two popes, and both the Kingdom of Norn and the Kingdom of France can only provide all support except sending troops.

Qianhe River Valley is already a no-nonsense zone.

The coalition of gravel plain nobles has secretly assembled, while the Salvation Army was held back by Puzilio on the line of the South Nauan River.

Everything is ready, all that's left is the final push on the domino called "Ven, the Knight of the Pale Horse."

Even if Meliaty's boar knights or Demon Horn's shorthairs were able to fight, it would be too late.

Stretching out his hand, Lacuneo easily flicked away the castle chess piece placed between Honey River Township in Upper River County and Antler Township in Lower River County.

"The fateful moment has finally arrived."

Three days later, in the early morning, four command companies quietly assembled on the outskirts of Feiliu Fort and headed northeast in the dark.

At the forefront of Fort Raz, infantrymen who set off early were stationed, and their target had been determined - Honey River Township in Upper River County.
