The Bone King of the Beginning of the Comprehensive Manga

"According to what you mean, even if the territory is ravaged, the citizens are sold as slaves, the young girl is insulted by the soldiers, the towns and villages are burned, the Earl of Nangong has to endure it, and even if Emperor Taina wants him to die, he has to put his head and hands together." Serve me up? Is this the right thing to do? What are you guys who are hiding in this deep palace and watching from the sidelines?" Ma Siha was completely angry, and he didn't care that this was the palace, so he yelled directly.

"I didn't say that"

"But that's what you mean by what you do".

Chapter 26 Just pray

Bodvar and Masha glared at each other with murderous anger. After about a minute, Bodvar breathed out a deep breath as if trying to expel the anger, and then said in a calm tone:

"It's useless to say these things now, the Knights of Navarre have set off"

"This is the worst decision you've ever made in your life." Ma Siha retreated to his position and sat down on the chair weakly as if exhausted.

"I can only say sorry for the neutral faction," Bodvar also sat back on his chair and said helplessly.

"No, that's not what I'm talking about. I'm referring to the Knights' crusade against Earl Nangong. You're forcing him to become a rebel. I've known him for seven years, so I know a little bit about his style of work. He said Maybe it will really bring down the king's capital," Ma Siha said with a sigh.

"Didn't you say that he didn't betray? Since that's the case, it's fine to surrender directly. I don't think Roland will kill innocent people indiscriminately, and this can prove his innocence."

"Then take it to the capital and let Tai Nadi kill him in private?" Masha said sarcastically at first, and then returned to his usual tone.

"Even Earl Nangong, the knight order led by Roland, would not surrender. He is not wrong, and why do you think the knight order must win? You should pray to Earl Nangong not to wipe out all five thousand knights now."

Bodvar showed a puzzled expression. The Knights of Navarre guarded the country and fought on the battlefield for many years. They were the elite among the elite, and they were not comparable to ordinary soldiers. What's more, they were led by Roland, the strongest black knight in the kingdom. , I can't think of any reason to lose.

"Even if the enemy has war girls, we also have black knights"

Masha really had nothing to do with Bodvar's preconceived ideas, which caused him a headache.

"Old friend, your attention is all on Zhan Ji, but you have ignored the important person, Earl Nangong. When I left Viscount Aojie's mansion, there were three Zhan Ji who clearly expressed their willingness to support him. Do you think an incompetent Do people in China have such popularity?

You always said that Earl Nangong relied on Jistat's army to defeat Tainati, but Alsace didn't have a single Jistat's soldiers except the war princess and her adjutant.

And I don't think Earl Nangong needs military support. aid"

"Why are you so sure?"

"Sorry, it's inconvenient to disclose." Masha didn't want to reveal too detailed information to Bodvar. For example, Nangonglong has [-] troops. It's not that he doesn't trust his old friend, but Bodvar who knows about it The courtiers will definitely be called for a meeting, and it would be bad if it reaches Tai Nadi and Jianulong's ears, although they may not believe it.

Seeing his old friend's expression, the cat-faced prime minister knew that it was useless to ask further questions. Since his old friend believed in Earl Nangong so much, he didn't mind trying to believe it, so he changed the subject.

"The next thing I said is from my personal standpoint, there are several people in our country who bring in foreign troops and they will not be charged with rebellion.

A person with great righteousness or a person recognized by His Majesty the King, simply put, is like the wife of Tai Nadi—the niece of His Majesty the King, this kind of person”

"Achieving righteousness? Earl Nangong doesn't care about these at all. He must have smiled and said that righteousness is just an insignificant thing in front of absolute power."

After the unpleasant conversation ended, it was already sunset when Masha left the palace.

Retrieving the saber through the second city gate, Ma Siha quickly walked down the mountain, but when he passed the garden, he stopped and there was a faint murderous look around him.

Ma Siha leaned against the statue and looked around vigilantly. He was not surprised by this situation. Neither Tainati nor Jianulong wanted to kill him.

Seeing that Ma Siha was not going deep, several men in black suddenly appeared.

Blocking the assassin's weapon with his sword, Ma Sicha rolled on the spot to avoid the attacks of others.

"Oh, there are assassins!" A soft voice that was incompatible with the tense atmosphere sounded.

Sophie, who was wearing a light green dress and holding a gorgeous tin staff, appeared in Masha's sight.

Immediately, one of the assassins rushed towards Sophie. Sophie flicked the long sword away with the tin staff, and easily knocked down the enemy.

Realizing that the woman in front of him was difficult to deal with, several black figures sprang out from among the flowers, five rushed to Sophie, and three rushed to Masha.

Masha cut down the two, and Sophie had already run to help knock down the last one, behind her were several fallen assassins.

"Thank you very much for your rescue, Lord Sophia"

Accepting Masha's thanks, Sophie asked:

"Have you seen the king?"

".`It is seen"

"Well, I'm going back to Alsace. If there is any bad news, I have to send it back as soon as possible." Sophie said lightly, without asking whether the king was really insane. King, she knew that what Yinhui said was probably true.

"I have to deal with some things, and I will rush back later," Masha said.

To the west of Tritor, three thousand troops of Nangonglong are stationed here.

On the strong suggestion of Ailian and Lim, the camp was surrounded by double-layered strong fences.

One hundred and three camp tents were set up in the camp, and a new flag was erected in the center, with a black background and white patterns painted on it, and a circular magic circle was pierced vertically by a long sword.

"What are you doing?"

Ai Lian looked puzzled at the Iron Armored Army who built a high platform right in front of the camp and asked Nangong Long beside him.

"Calculate the time, it will be used almost tomorrow" (Qian Nuohao) Nan Gonglong smiled meaningfully.

"Master, Master Ai Lian, dinner is ready."

The brisk voice of the little maid Tita came from behind.

On the other side, the Marquis of Greast has arrived in Bellevue with several attendants.

He had already sent someone to notify Viscount Aojie in advance, presumably at this time the neutrals were concentrated in the mansion of the old Viscount, saving him time to threaten them one by one.

At the door of the Viscount's mansion, there were already several men waiting. They were nobles near Tritor, and they were also neutral factions.

Of course, they are not all of the neutral faction, and the rest are too far away.

Among them, three of them have formed an alliance with Viscount Ojie, and they will support each other if any of them is in danger.As for the rest who are still dreaming of absolute neutrality, as long as they don't hit him on the head, they choose to watch to the end.

Chapter 27 The Marquess of Greast

A slender man in his late thirties appeared in front of Viscount Ojie's mansion, wearing a luxurious silk dress embroidered with gold thread, with a handsome face like a nobleman's, and his gray hair neatly arranged. Lord Greast.

The Marquis glanced over Viscount Aojie and the others, and when he saw how many people were headed by the old Viscount, he couldn't help showing a narrow smile.

"Viscount Aojie, at an early age, I thought you were retiring from the world, but now it seems that you are still strong and healthy."

"It's a pity that this world is not stable enough to allow me to retire," the old Viscount replied sarcastically.

"It's rare for you to live to this age without illness and pain, it's better not to force it," Greast responded with a sneer.

After ridiculing each other, Viscount Aojie brought the Marquis and the neutrals to the living room of the mansion.

"Let's get down to business, join Duke Canulon's camp, and show your support" Greast said straight to the point without even taking a sip of wine as soon as he sat down.

The Marquis' voice was like cold water slowly soaking into people's hearts, causing Viscount Aojie and the others to feel a sense of cold disgust in their hearts.

"...Is there any benefit if we join?" Although he was nervous, the old Viscount, as a representative of the neutral 893 faction, still wanted to speak.

"Duke Canulon will naturally not treat those who follow him badly"

This answer was beyond the expectations of the nobles present, who thought they would be oppressed.

"You should have heard of the town of Lance, right?"

Lance is the core town of Nemetaku governed by Tenati, how could the people present not know.

"One day we will go to war with the Duke of Tainati and break through the town of Lance. The Duke of Canulon allows you to participate in the plunder together."

It has been a common practice for military strategists since ancient times for the winning side to destroy and plunder captured cities.

It is also normal to arrest people for comfort or sell them as slaves.

Those who tried to resist were executed, destroyed, plundered, and ravaged as much as they wanted, and swept away all the property that could be taken away, and then led the soldiers on their way home in high spirits.

The advantage of this is that when the war starts, the soldiers will fight bravely and have high morale.

But there are also many disadvantages. One of the soldiers will develop the habit of looting, which is difficult to control in the end.

Second, those who survive will resent the enemy's territory, (babg) but they are one country, which means that the people of the country hate each other.If one day people from the two territories gather together to fight a foreign war, then this is a hidden danger.

Greast's words surprised Viscount Ojie and the others. Duke Canulon's generosity was abnormal, and as expected, the Marquis revealed his true colors in the next sentence.

"Let's talk about your obligations again. First of all, you must obey the confiscation order. Once the army of the Duke of Canulon collects food and firewood from the villages and towns in your territory, you must offer it with both hands unconditionally. If you refuse, you will use force to suppress it."

This is the robbery that doesn't care about the life and death of the villagers, and may even oppress the villagers for various reasons.

Viscount Ojie suppressed his anger, his hands under the table were clenched into fists.

"Another obligation is to join the ranks of the expedition. When you attack Lance, you will fight at the forefront. The first charge is regarded as a heroic person, which can bring great honor. Calling it an obligation is a bit too cheap."

It sounds good, but it is clear that they are being used as cannon fodder, and even the neutrals can understand this.

"Can you let us think about it, you see, have our neutrals arrived yet?" Viscount Ojie tried to delay the time.

"No, you have to make a decision now. Don't misunderstand that our request is not to form an alliance with you, but to ask you to surrender. Let me first declare that the Duke of Canulon does not allow neutrality. As for those who have not arrived, they will be They refuse to submit." Greast's voice was quite calm, but the air in the room was heavy as if frozen.

"I refuse." Viscount Ojie opened his mouth without thinking too much, and then he looked at the few people who were allied with him and said:

"You decide for yourself, don't think about me"

As a result, none of the people who allyd with the old Viscount agreed to surrender. On the one hand, they didn't want to be a substitute for the dead, and on the other hand, they had friendship with Viscount Aojie.

One of the other people agreed to surrender, but the rest also refused. After all, they didn't say what the consequences would be if they didn't surrender, and the Duke of Canulon probably couldn't spare the energy to deal with them, so they still took chances.

After receiving the answer, Greast left the Viscount's mansion. Although they refused to submit to Canulon, they did not dare to kill the Marquis.

"What do we do next? I don't think the Duke will ignore us," said a man in his late 50s with obvious wrinkles around his eyes.

"Get ready for battle," Viscount Ojie said with a tense face.

"Don't be so pessimistic, the Duke of Canulon is fighting with the Duke of Tainati, no matter what happens, he will never send troops."

"Wake up, the Duke of Canulon obviously wants to resolve our uncertainties before the decisive battle. Although you refuse to form an alliance with us, I still want to remind you to prepare early, or you will be like Viscount Toyaki who just left If you choose to surrender, you may die a little later," said Viscount Ojie, looking at those guys who still refused to face reality.

"Earl Nangong has thousands of troops, and he has the support of Jistat's war concubine, so why don't we go to him for help?" said a man in his 30s, one of the unaligned people.

They all knew about Tainadi's attack on Alsace. Although there were rumors that Tainadi's army was wiped out, they didn't believe it. They only thought that the rumors were exaggerated.

But Earl Nangong must have thousands of troops, because Alsace is still alive and well.

"Duke Tainadi attacked the Earl of Nangong, we chose to watch, why should we ask others for help now?" The old Viscount showed a bitter smile.

"We don't have the ability to help him. There's nothing wrong with choosing to sit on the sidelines, but he has enough strength, so it's okay to help us," the man said in a natural tone.

"Then tell it yourself," the old Viscount said with a stinking face.

"We don't know him well, so you have to go."
