I was regarded as a demon god by a witch

Chapter 482 Earl Yodo’s choice

In the clock tower of Yodo City, Geron finally got rid of the messenger, sat on his chair, and rubbed his brow.

Why did he end up in this embarrassing situation?

Probably starting from the time when the commander of the imperial army was killed and the imperial army was lifted, the royal power during his father's reign has been incomplete.

The reason why he was able to win after breaking up with the commander of the Imperial Guard was because of this man who was engaged in conspiracy all day long. Huge problems arose between himself and his allies due to the uneven distribution of interests.

Sometimes, to defeat your enemy, you don't have to do it yourself. You just need to wait for this enemy to provoke more enemies.

After all, people who do nothing have an advantage over people who do everything, that is, they rarely make mistakes and can wait quietly for their opponents to make big mistakes by doing too much.

"The Commander of the Forbidden Army should not have been killed in the first place." Geron sighed. He now understood that he, the Commander of the Forbidden Army and his father were an alliance, but before Ivita became hostile to them, the two sides were actually already in power. Like water and fire.

Henry VII was dissatisfied with the autocratic power of the commander of the imperial army, and the commander of the imperial army, Arthur Stanley, was dissatisfied with the increasing restrictions on the strengthening of the royal power.

Geron looked at his dressing mirror. He was already a senior knight at a young age and quickly made a judgment in his heart.

Sure enough, his previous judgment was not wrong.

He used the Fire of the Dragon King to lure the enemy Franks into Alsace, but he also expected that neither the Franks nor Ivita would be able to eliminate each other instantly.

While both sides were fighting a war of attrition, this was his opportunity.

When the snipe and the clam fight, he can profit from the fishermen.

Geron crossed his hands with a sneer on his face. After all, he was still the legitimate king of Alsace, and the Franks' army should have the upper hand. The Franks now regarded him as a pawn, but he didn't regard the Franks as a pawn. Take advantage of tools.

As long as the Franks weaken Ivita's army to a certain extent, he will be able to gather troops to regain the royal capital and his own honor and power.

Then, gather the army and drive away the Franks.

Although this plan is a bit risky, if he loses, he will not let Ivita occupy the Kingdom of Alsace so easily. If he wins, he can also use both the Franks and Ivita to get rid of him at the same time. of enemies.

Why not.

Moreover, he actually has an ace up his sleeve - Emperor Oyo III.

As long as you delay, you can hold out until the Emperor's arrival, and powerful allies will quickly change the situation and give him the upper hand.

By then, both the Franks' emperor and Ivita would be nothing more than minor characters.

Jie Long thought of the several big nobles in the royal capital who had betrayed him, and gritted his teeth. However, in an instant, a calm smile returned to his face, and he murmured to himself: "Next, there is more to play. Wait until I get back The royal capital will settle accounts with you again."

……

In the manor in Yodo City, the Hearthstone Witch glanced proudly at the members of the Yodo family and the knights of the Yodo family gathered here.

The Hearthstone Witch looked at the knights who were about to move, and suddenly sneered at Count Jodo: "You know? With these little knights of yours, I can use a complete transformation spell to turn them into a group of sheep that can only bleat. "

"I advise you to calm down and don't give me a reason to take action."

Count Jodo was a young man who was about the same age as Geron, in his twenties, as tall as Geron, but with a cold face. Count Jodo carefully put away the letter Ivita wrote to him and said to the Hearthstone Witch. : "I have received your Majesty's letter."

Everyone in the Yodo family expressed doubts. How could there be two majesties in one country?

Earl Jodo smiled at the Hearthstone Witch and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will be loyal to my king."

"But Louis XIII is also my best friend, and I cannot betray him."

The Hearthstone Witch sneered, and all the stained glass on the ceiling of the manor suddenly cracked, large pieces of glass fell down, and the Hearthstone Witch turned into a vulture and left.

Seeing how arrogant the Hearthstone Witch was, the members of the Yodo family had already drawn their knight swords, eager to catch up with the Hearthstone Witch and fight her.

Count Jodo's younger brother said unfairly to Count Jodo: "We just watched that witch leave our family's residence, after she provoked us like this?"

Earl Jodo shook his head. "I don't know why, but I always feel that she is deliberately provoking us to give her a reason to attack us."

Count Yodo's brother was stunned for a moment. "The person in the capital now probably wants to win over us with all his strength. Why would he send a witch to deliberately stir up trouble with us? If this is true, I'm afraid it is the behavior of the witch herself. She is such a vicious witch. ."

"Should we obey the orders of the person in the capital?"

Earl Jodo hesitated for a while, then shook his head. "I can't betray Jielong, and Jielong also knows me. Besides, if I really want to betray Jielong, I'm afraid the first person to die will be me. Based on my understanding of Jielong's character, he can't just Count on our Yodo family.”

"The introduction of Frankish power is proof."

"There are more than 5,000 guards around Jie Long. Once they discover that I have different intentions, the entire city of Yodo will be destroyed in an instant."

Count Yodo thought of this, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He threw away his family's cronies and asked the groom to prepare the horse and go to Geron's residence.

Within half an hour, he had someone visit Geron in advance, then entered the reception room of the tower with a low profile, and took out the letter Ivita wrote to him and showed it to Geron.

Count Jodo pretended that he was still the friend who could spend a whole day hunting with Geron in the countryside. He was very familiar with Geron and said: "This is what the current man in the royal capital wrote to me. He actually asked me to call him Come here."

Jeroen burst out laughing. "He doesn't understand my relationship with you. It's so whimsical."

"Don't worry, as long as I return to the royal city, no one will stop me from making you a duke this time."

Earl Jodo's brows twitched. The title of Caibo was touching. Under normal circumstances, he would never become a duke in his life.

Geron picked up the letter and wanted to tear it into pieces, but was stopped by Count Jodo. Jeron asked: "Why don't you let me tear it apart?"

Count Jodo retracted the letter and said: "I want to leave Iveta's handwriting. In the future, I may need to imitate his handwriting. Although it is unlikely, it is still possible to use it."

Jie Long couldn't help but laugh when he saw him carefully putting away the letter. "You have been more careful than me since you were a child."

Count Jodo said: "Then what should we do next? Just wait for the Franks to invade our Alsace?"

Jaylon waved his hand. "This is only temporary. You first contact the nobles and legion commanders of the eleven counties in the West for me and ask them to meet in Yodo City. I will use this city as the starting point to report to Ivita and the royal capital that betrayed me. Start a war."

"When the Franks invade and massacre the city, a large number of refugees will pass through Yodo City. We can accept these refugees and turn them into our army. Anyway, there is enough food in Yodo City."

Yodo City occupies the best location in the entire Western Territory. It stands next to the official road. Passers-by must pass through this city unless they are taking a path deep in the mountains.

Earl Yodo's eyes brightened slightly, "Okay. I'll do it right away."

Jaylon suddenly thought of something. "I previously placed the Dragon King's Fire in the Raven Kingdom's Mount Doom, and I must take it back. I can't keep placing the Dragon King's Fire in the Raven Kingdom's Mount Doom, which has fallen into the hands of the pagans. I want you to help me. Go hire a few capable adventure groups..."

……

Instead of flying directly from the royal capital to the front line, Ivita controlled the Titan spacecraft and turned it into a volcano, flying to the front line.

Along the way, he saw the kingdom's territory, filled with disaster victims and summoned armies, as well as the raging Frankish army, and the dragon fire that was spraying out from the stronghold of the castle.

The Immortal Flame Mountain was hidden in a burning cloud in the sky and reached the sky above the city of Yodo with a population of 500,000.

The entire city of Yodo has very complex traffic roads, which are well-connected in all directions, like a spider web, and there are two official roads in Alsace passing by, which is the nearby inland market center.

Moreover, outside the city are a large number of vast plain farmlands with criss-crossing roads. There is also a freshwater lake inside the city, which can be relied upon to obtain a large amount of fish and freshwater resources.

It can be said that this is a city that is inland and difficult to break without natural danger. Its rich natural resources, large farmland, water conservancy conditions and population are its greatest capital and weapons.

Originally, this city was directly under the royal family of Alsace. Its original name was [Young Dragon City]. It was the earliest fiefdom of the royal family of Alsace. Generally speaking, it was the fiefdom of the crown prince.

This is not a city that can be built in a dozen years, but a city that takes hundreds of years to expand and emerge among the original buildings and population.

The interpersonal relationships inside are as complex as those in the royal capital, and the various master and apprentice families of the craftsmen class have been passed down from generation to generation.

Ivita suddenly saw an Alsace dragon-blood pigeon with bright red feathers flying out of the city. This pigeon is a specialty of Alsace and is more reliable than ordinary magic pigeons.

Without thinking, Ivita stretched out her hand and grabbed it, and the gravitational magic gathered, attracting the pigeon into her hand. "Huh? The sender is Count Yodo, and the target of the letter is me."

"Jeron's playmate sent me a message?"

Ivita noticed the anomaly and read the letter. In the letter, Count Jodo's posture was very low, full of piety to the God of All Things and the legitimate king, and disgust for the Franks.

'Your Majesty, Your Majesty, at this moment, when I learned that Geron was cooperating with the Franks, my heart was tormented. On the one hand, Geron and I are friends, and I cannot betray him for the sake of morality. But on the other hand, I can't help but wonder, can't my hatred of the Franks exceed my friendship with Geron? ’

'At this moment, I discovered that Jaylon's personality is the same as his father's. He is a cowardly and selfish person. His cowardice is hidden under his drive. My father and my mother both died in the war fighting the Franks for the Kingdom of Alsace, but Geron shattered the belief I had always had. ’

‘When I saw a king betraying his country, my heart was extremely painful, but I thought that only killing Jeron would be my last friendship with him. ’

‘Your Majesty Ivita, I learned from Geron that he placed the Dragon King’s Fire in the Doomsday Volcano in the Raven Kingdom to the east of the Magical Black Forest. ’

‘That place has been occupied by heretics, the Emperor’s forces exist there sporadically, and the Raven resistance is also operating underground, so please be careful. ’

'Please bear with me, my lord. Just because my parents have spent all their efforts on this city of Yodo, so out of the idea of ​​protecting this city, please allow me to refuse to hand over Jeron, who is accompanied by more than 5,000 imperial troops. Once a war breaks out, our family's territory will be destroyed. Preventing him from introducing war into Yodo City was one of the reasons why I chose to abandon him. Geron wants to recruit some troops for himself, and what I can assure your majesty is that I will try to slow down their recruitment efforts, and perhaps I can provide you with some movements from the Franks. ’

‘Frankish messengers traveled throughout the city of Jodo all day long. The Franks seemed to have suffered heavy casualties because they did not carry fire-proof clothing. ’

Iveta frowned, now she had to make a judgment. Should she choose to believe the other party?

Ivita hesitated and wiped the letter with her finger. Suddenly the words on it disappeared completely. Ivita's eyes fell on the blank letter, and lines of text suddenly appeared on the letter.

‘Count Jodo, as your king, I appreciate your loyalty to your country. I need you to steal the Fire Dragon Ring Seal from Jeron for me. ’

‘You use the fake Fire Dragon Ring Seal I gave you to secretly replace the genuine one in his hand. Please give it to me in one day, because during this time, I will go to Mount Doom to get the Fire of the Dragon King. ’

Iveta reached out and touched the ground, and the most common stone on the ground fell into his hand. The stone turned into the shape of a seal, and then the color and texture also changed rapidly, making it look fake and real.

Iveta threw the ring and the note away, and the note immediately folded into the shape of a bird, carrying the ring, flapping its wings and flying. After a few seconds, the bird-shaped origami turned into a real bird. .

Ivita swept across Yodo City, quickly found Geron's soul aura, and confirmed his location.

But Geron is still protected by the law, although the power of the law protecting him is only half of what it was in its heyday.

In other words, there is still nothing I can do against Jeron for the time being.

There are also imperial guards and members of the Yodo family with unknown positions around Jie Long. Even if Earl Yodo wants to switch sides, the people in the Yodo family still don't know Earl Yodo's little thoughts.

"Let that idiot Geron live a little longer. I will go to Mount Doom first. Then I will know whether what Count Yodo said is true." Ivita controlled the void and opened a crack on the lower side of the Titan spacecraft. The portal of Bronze Boat.

"With the Dragon King's Fire and the Fire Dragon's Ring Seal back, Jie Long won't have anything to worry about. The Franks have made a useless move."
