Plane Overlord of Rebirth

Chapter 793 Dangerous Politics
After the news from the front line came, Earl Wenner quickly realized that this was a very good opportunity.The elite knights of the Principality are also the force most relied on by the Duke's lineage. The elite of the Red Soul Knights have suffered heavy losses following the death of the Duke's eldest son.This made the strength of the Duke's line almost reach the weakest moment in history.In the vicinity of Anfield City, only the Palace Guards and the City Guards have a certain combat power, and these numbers add up to only three to five thousand. Not only are the troops insufficient, but the combat effectiveness of the soldiers is not as good as that of the elite knights. method compared.

Therefore, Earl Wenner led his direct guards to enter Anfield City at the fastest speed three weeks ago.Such a political signal is very clear. Earl Wenner made it clear that he wanted to seize the supreme leadership of the entire Principality in one fell swoop while the Duke's family was at its weakest!

I have to say that the timing chosen by Earl Wenner is really good.This is enough to prove that the Wenner family, which uses the 'White Fox' as its emblem, definitely possesses a matching cunning.

In fact, the power of the Duke's lineage is not willing to just let it go.But they have no leader, and it is difficult to unite all their forces in a short period of time to fight against Earl Wenner.In fact, even if all the forces directly under the Grand Duke are coordinated, I am afraid that Earl Wenner will not be able to do anything.The strength of the White Fox Knights was originally much weaker than that of the Red Soul Knights, but now, most of the main force and elite of the Red Souls have been buried under the Blood Wolf Castle. The guards, as well as the city guards with insufficient combat power, it is really difficult to resist the entry of the White Fox Knights.

Several court earls with the same surname Birdsman—this is the surname of the Anfield Duke family, a traditional nobleman of the ancient Caesar Empire—commanded the city guards to try to stop Wenner before entering the city, but failed. able to succeed.Earl Wenner's elite knights were placed under the city wall, which frightened the court nobles who had never been on the battlefield, but because they were related to the Duke, and some of the city guards already had Wenner arranged the manpower, so his entry into Anfield City was not really blocked at all.

After entering the city, that is cleaning.

Here, Earl Wenner once again showed his political skills.He did not directly choose to attack the brothers and nephews of Grand Duke Learman, who have the right to inherit the duke title. Doing so would arouse great backlash.

After Earl Wenner took control of the entire city of Anfield, he swiftly cleaned up the palace guards and city guards.Those generals who were loyal to the Duke’s Party were either attached or bought, and if they couldn’t figure it out, they should be transferred or removed from their official positions. All in all, it took a week, and the last two armed forces of the Duke’s Party were also included. Earl Wenner's men.Although I dare not say [-]% control, at least these two armies will not continue to oppose him.

Then, unfortunately, were some of the more prestigious members of the Duke's party.Within a week, two court earls, totaling 27 nobles, were found guilty.Without exception, all of these nobles were named Birdsman.

This is undoubtedly a cleansing of the political power of the duke.With the complete deprivation of armed forces, these members of the Birdsman family, who usually rely on their noble surnames to show off their might, are like catfish on a chopping board, with no ability to resist at all.

However, what is even more strange is that Earl Wenner's actions are so violent that there is no other opposition force except the Duke's party!Among them, the ones that shouldn't have such a situation are of course the other five powerful earls.Among the five powerful earls, except for Lin Ao who sent a letter of strong objection temporarily, the other four earls remained silent!

Hearing this, Chen Ning snorted coldly, and said, "Isn't that obvious? Wenner has obviously colluded with other powerful earls long ago, and paid a certain price in exchange for their support to sit on the The position of the new duke."

Lin Ao smiled wryly, and said: "This is what I wanted to understand in prison, but I didn't know it at the time. I also contacted other earls, wanting to oppose Wenner together..." Lin Ao couldn't believe it when he said this How could I be so naive back then.

"you failed?"

"En." Lin Ao nodded, "Except for Earl Mikel's tactful reply and warning me that this matter is unusual, the other three earls did not express anything special about it."

"As expected." Chen Ning nodded and continued: "Tell me about the specific circumstances of your arrest."

Lin Ao nodded and continued talking to Chen Ning.

About two weeks ago, Lin Ao received a letter from Earl Wenner.This letter made Lin Ao furious.It was an invitation letter, inviting Lin Ao to attend his wedding with Countess Senelia.

Countess Senilya is none other than the previous Duke, the eldest daughter of Grand Duke Learman.

The title of Countess is inherited from her husband.Originally, she was just a countess, but during the political purge of Earl Wenner just a week ago, Senilya's husband was found guilty, lost his title, and was sentenced to death during the purge. The duke's second daughter inherits.

At that time, Countess Senilya was the new heir to the duke who was strongly supported by the remnants of the duke party.The previous Grand Duke Learman has no living sons, only two daughters.In this way, it is also necessary to use women as the new heirs.Although female archduchesses are not common, in the history of Anfield Principality, this kind of situation is not unprecedented.There are reasons to follow, and the status of the Countess Senilya is also noble enough. It is normal for her to be regarded by the Duke Party as an excellent candidate for the new Grand Duke.

And Earl Wenner's move, in this context, is very powerful.Now, everyone knows Earl Wenner's intentions, he just wants to be the master of the Principality of Anfield.However, even in the current situation, this is not an easy task.The Principality of Anfield will always belong to the Bodryman family. If a guy named Wenner wants to sit on the throne of the Duke, not only will the country be turbulent, but other allies outside will not agree.This is not in line with the rules of the nobility.Supporting a puppet duke to death, and being the boss behind the scenes, this is already the limit.

But what would happen if he married Countess Senilia?
