Tome of Blood - Chapter 266
Chapter 266-116-The Talented Monarch
After knowing the reason for not sending troops from Viscount Remisio, Charlotte canceled the remote communication.
In fact, there is no way to communicate for too long. This communication crystal is just a counterfeit she made with reference to the communication crystal seized from Agnes, with the help of the power of blood and divine blessings. It cannot be used for too long.
However, the information obtained is enough.
“So… under the impetus of the third prince, the new military chief proposed to the king to strengthen the management of the army, and the king, who wanted to centralize power, followed suit and issued a ban…”
Recalling the information just obtained, Charlotte fell into deep thought.
The timing of this military order was so ingenious, it was hard for Charlotte not to think that it was aimed at herself.
Although Viscount Remisio is a party of the second prince, and he would definitely not speak well of the third prince when facing himself, Charlotte is very clear that the third prince who became the co-duke of Bold through his marriage with Eleanor is indeed right. Castel is very coveted.
Charlotte’s assassination on the return journey is a clear proof. The biggest witness, Agnès, is still cleaning the toilet in the Earl’s Mansion.
Castel is too rich, and the Castel Mithril Mine is an important strategic resource. For a prince who wants to fight for the succession to the throne, the attraction is too great.
“It is said that Louis V ended the eighty-year-long Star-Moon War, and he has a high prestige in the New Moon Kingdom, and he can also be regarded as one of the most talented monarchs in the New Moon Kingdom for hundreds of years. However… the successor of the next generation problem, but it is definitely a huge hidden danger.”
“It’s also a bit strange. All kinds of information show that the current King Louis V is wise and brave. He is definitely not easy to fool. Could it be that he can’t see the little thoughts of the third prince?”
Sitting at the desk, looking through the relevant materials of the Crescent Royal Family, Charlotte frowned slightly.
Besides, the experience of the current King Louis V of the New Moon Kingdom is definitely a legend.
He was originally only the second heir to the New Moon Throne, but succeeded to the throne after his elder brother “Philip the Bold” who was the previous king died accidentally in the Star-Moon War.
When he succeeded to the throne, he was only 13 years old.
At that time, the New Moon Kingdom had been retreating steadily under the attack of the Fallen Star Kingdom. Even the capital of the kingdom had been breached, and less than one-seventh of the land was lost.
King Henry of the Fallen Star was even crowned as the new Crescent King by the officiant in the Crescent King, and there was a situation where two kings stood side by side in the entire Crescent Kingdom.
But Louis V turned the tide, showing great political talent and military talent at a young age.
He first took advantage of the contradictions among the nobles to unite vertically and horizontally, and temporarily unified the power of the nobles, and then gained the support of the Grand Duchy of the North with the help of the conflict between the Fallen Star Kingdom and the Grand Duchy of the North.
Then he prepared his own coffin, and personally led the coalition army composed of private soldiers of nobles and mercenaries from the northern border. In the Battle of the Moon Guard, with a force of 1:10, he defeated the army of the Fallen Star Kingdom and withstood the unstoppable attack of the Fallen Star Kingdom. , regained the capital and part of the territory.
And he himself showed an astonishing extraordinary talent. He ascended to the blazing sun when he was less than 15 years old, becoming the youngest blazing sun powerhouse in the entire human world of Miria.
Since then, the Star-Moon Campaign has been in a long-term anxiety.
Relying on wisdom and strategy, Louis V relied on the remaining less than one-fifth of the country’s land area, and fought back and forth with the Fallen Star Kingdom.
As time went on, he gradually won the initiative in the war, and began to counterattack with fewer victories and more, and in the later stages of the war, he even gained the upper hand.
If it wasn’t for the unexpected defeat in the first Roman battle, Louis V would have driven the forces of the Fallen Star Kingdom out of the mainland long ago.
Even so, he also took back all the legal territory of the New Moon Kingdom except the Roman Duchy, and the territory was even much larger than before the start of the Star-Moon War.
After so many years, the New Moon Kingdom has long since recovered from the aftermath of the war, and its national strength has surpassed the Fallen Star.
If the Fallen Star Kingdom and the Siunite Empire had not formed an alliance against the New Moon, Louis V would have launched a war long ago and taken back the last Roman Duchy.
And it is such a talented and generous monarch, can’t he see the smallness of his heirs?
Infiltrate and assassinate nobles, seize private territories and extraordinary resources, and strengthen your own strength… For any reigning monarch, this is a big taboo, right?
Or in other words, the behavior of the third prince was also acquiesced by Louis V?
The eldest prince, who was regarded as the heir by Louis V, died in the first Roman battle. As the current heir, the second prince, who was very close to the church, had a bad relationship with him. Could it be that… this monarch wants to Want to bypass the law of eldest heir succession and pass the throne to the third prince?
That’s why he tacitly allowed him to use various means to strengthen his own strength?
Thinking of this, Charlotte’s frown deepened.
After all, she is only an earl, and her lord is still Boulder so far. As for higher-level information, she has very limited understanding.
But judging from Viscount Remisio’s reaction, the other party didn’t show much anxiety. If the king wanted to change the heir, those nobles who were interested in the second prince would have been in chaos.
Charlotte couldn’t figure it out.
However, although she couldn’t figure it out, if she jumped out of the Earl of Castel and analyzed her own rebellion from the perspective of the entire kingdom, it was enough for her to see many problems clearly.
At least, she has determined that her real enemy in this rebellion is not the Legolis family, but probably the third prince. support.
The reason why the rebels dared to launch a rebellion at this time was probably because of the support of the third prince.
Charlotte’s judgment was quickly confirmed.
A day after she contacted Viscount Remisio, Sebastian, who she sent to investigate the Tulip County, left and returned.
“Master, I’m afraid the situation is a bit serious. The fortress of the Tulip County has opened military control half a month ago, and civilians are prohibited from approaching. Not only that… As you can see, the cargo ships traveling to and from the port of the Tulip County during this period are more than usual. Three times more.”
“I sneaked into one of the cargo ships to investigate, and found a large amount of military supplies on board, including food supplies, equipment, and various extraordinary materials. There are even many advanced extraordinary people sitting on board!”
“The Bold family, or the third prince of the new moon… I’m afraid they really want to take advantage of this rebellion to attack us!”
Sebastian said solemnly.
