After Becoming The Tyrant

The others evacuated the room, and Charles took out a secret letter and presented it to the king: "From Adobe."

Adobe, a country next to Blaise, the queen of Adobe King is the cousin of Ferry III.

The king knew that the letter should actually come from Blacy.

The "ally" from Legrand, Ferry III.

The king opened the letter and read it quickly.

The letter was divided into two parts, one part was written by Ferry III himself, and the other part apparently came from Blacy's overseas spies—it was a piece of information about the movements of the Low Countries across the sea from Legrand.

low countries.

The king frowned slightly, he got up and walked to the "cloth of the world" map hanging in the room.

In the north of Blessie, there are more than a dozen small countries such as Hull and Carleland, which are collectively called "Low Countries".They are across the sea from the northern part of Legrand, but there has been no dispute between the two sides.

Ferry III is not an idiot, and he will not do useless things at this juncture.

"What are you looking at?"

Charles got up, walked behind the king, and looked at the map hanging on the wall with him.

"What do you know about the Low Countries?" asked the king, thinking.

Charles cast his eyes on the dozen or so small countries, and shook his head slightly suspiciously: "If you mean the lowland countries before the twelfth century AD, after they were completely occupied by the sea barbarians, they used to have considerable strength. But The Low Countries are now in decline, and for three centuries they have not participated in the great events of any one of the continents."

As Charles said, the Low Countries have kept a low profile for hundreds of years.

Perhaps because they know that they are not strong enough, they only focus on the development of maritime commerce, and try to avoid any major political disputes. It seems that they are trying their best to build themselves into "sea sailing ships" that are invincible.For this reason, they even endured relatively high customs duties including Legrand, Blaise, and many other countries.

What they paid so much for was that although the lowland countries were weaker in military affairs, they still gained room to survive by relying on commercial luck.

"Invincible?"

The king shook his head slowly.

He returned to the desk, quickly laid out the letter and picked up the pen, writing to the Duke of Buckingham in the Rose Palace.

Across the Abyss Strait, Legrand's perception of the Low Countries is absolutely inferior to that of Blacy, who is next to the Low Countries.If the king understands correctly, in return for Legrand's notification of the deadly trap in the coronation ceremony, the meaning of Ferry III's letter is to warn Legrand:

Watch out for the Low Countries, they are also taking part in this upheaval that is brewing.

"Let our overseas spies be careful," the king said to Charles at the same time.

"You don't like Blacy?"

Charles sensed this.

"Yes." The king did not answer this question directly, but asked Charles, "What do you think of our Kossoya City Councilor?"

Chairman of the Kossoya City Council.

One of the group of city officials just now, they came to report to the king about the New Year celebration.

Charles thought about it, he had to deal with many officials along the coast at this stage, and he also heard about this high-ranking official in Kossoya City-generally speaking, this is a little more of a little lover, and he is very good in all aspects. More mediocre, not great and not too bad city officials.

But at this time, being mentioned by the king might not be a good thing.

"Our mediocre gentleman is not mediocre at all." The king said with a smile in a complimenting tone, "His lovers also have extraordinary relationships with priests. This broad-mindedness is not ordinary. A gentleman can't do that."

"what do you mean?"

"It's hard for him to manage the complicated government affairs and at the same time try to send the secret letter to the bishop of the monastery."

The king smiled, as if he was sincerely praising the Chairman.

But Charles understood that the king had already killed him.

Charles was slightly moved.

Before the wandering painter Mr. Gluck came in, the conversation between the king and the city officials was the same as usual, although majestic but not sharp, even he didn't notice anything unusual.Mr. City Councilor may never have imagined that when he thought he was cheating, the king had already set the date of death for him in his heart.

The king looked at Charles: "In Legrand, in Kossoya where I came, there are people who have accepted the branches from the holy court, let alone Blacy who is under the shadow of the holy court?"

There was a slight sneer in his tone.

The Holy Court of this world will only become stronger.

because--

The "God" of this world really exists.

In this black death, the king himself can use the power of hell to enhance the brilliance of kingship.But in the same way, the Holy Court can also use extraordinary power to consolidate its position in the Black Death - in the letter of Ferry III, it has been pointed out that the Pope and his party have cured the Black Death patient and won the support of the great nobles one thing.

The power of the holy court in this world is more stable and stronger because of the real "sacred relics".

"Tell our spies, gentlemen, to be wary of those of Ferry III's faction who come into contact with them."

The king gave the order.

Charles understood the king's meaning, and he silently accepted the king's order.

The ghost ship is real, the hell is real, and the eyes of the gods looking at the earth are also real... For thousands of years, human beings have struggled to move forward under the shackles and live under heavy shackles.

However, some people are unwilling to live under such surveillance and accept such a fate.

So in this long history, generations of Qiangwei family have blood-stained the earth.What they want is that human beings stop being the lambs of the gods, the servants of the gods.

The king was silent for a moment: "Recruit sailors, the blockade cannot be relaxed."

A Qahtani chose the Sanctuary and brought a great plague to Legrand.

But at this time, there were so many plagues and shipwrecks on the sea, the king didn't think that the Holy Court would be limited to just one Kossoia plague.The coastline is long and there are always weak spots.Even, if the target of the first great plague was not a large port city like Kossoya, the Holy See could have driven some ordinary fleets to "send the plague" to Legrand.

If he is the Holy Court, then he will definitely not use this low-cost method that can cause huge damage to the enemy only once.

This is conspiracy.

Next, there must be ships trying to introduce the plague into Legrand.

——The king guarding the southeast is also to deal with this.

"When the epidemic ships are active, they have to act."

the king said quietly.

At this moment, Kossoya's bell rang, and the bell was loud.

Charles looked out the window: "It's almost a new year."

"a new Year."

The king also looked out of the window.

The rays of the sun in the last days of 1432 enveloped the port mall.

The snow is falling heavily, and in this city, most people celebrate that a catastrophe has just passed, and wait for the new year with joy.They don't know what kind of undercurrent is raging, let alone what kind of turmoil is about to erupt.

These turmoil, nowadays, will only weigh on a small number of people who see it.

"When our court painter wakes up, let him draw a picture."

The king suddenly spoke.

"What do you want him to paint?"

Charles was a little curious. The king who became the monarch of Legrand from birth naturally received the most outstanding education. Most monarchs have good cultivation in all aspects.But King has always been more concerned with drama than painting.

"The Night of the Plague of Kosthia."

the king answered.

He wants everyone to remember those dead cavalry, those brave pirates who died in the sea.

Charles was taken aback for a moment, and he turned his head to look at the painting "The King and His City" that was still in the room - there is no doubt that this is an outstanding painting that will remain in people's minds.He didn't know exactly what the "light of literature and art" in the king's mouth meant, but at this moment he understood what the king's actions meant.

If so, this is the dawn of literature and art.

Then the king didn't want to let the light focus on himself, but let this glory fall on those who died on the ground.

How many princes remember their fallen soldiers?

In war, the most worthless thing is human life. If the dead soldiers are not nobles, they are worthless, and a little pension is enough to pay them off.People have always believed that and accepted it that way.

— they will be remembered.

That night, where the pirates were buried, the king promised so.

He believed it.

And the king was not ashamed of his trust.

Charles laughed.

He thought that he could already see the scene where the iron cavalry was directed by the will of the crown in the future.

"People will envy Legrand."

he said softly.

The king looked at him slightly surprised.

Charles just smiled mildly, without explanation.

——I envy Legrand for having such a monarch.

………………

Legrand Northlands at the time the King reminded the Duke of Buckingham of the Low Countries letter sent.

New Cana.

The panic caused by the Black Death did not affect this place. After receiving the rich iron and wood resources from Angor, the military castle ordered by the king to be built here last year progressed much faster than before.

After his request for more funds from the king was rejected, James, the architect of the castle, wrote to the king with "the enthusiasm of writing to his little lover".

The first half of each letter is a detailed explanation of the new idea of ​​their own military castle, and then the second half of the letter is the same - asking the king for more funds.

The commander stationed here accidentally saw the letter written by James, and the corners of his mouth twitched immediately.

He felt that the king did not match the rumors.

——As for James's audacious behavior of asking the king for money every day, the king actually let him live to this day.How could a tyrant be so tolerant.

Anyway, since the "War Maniac Attribute" was highlighted, the Commander was surprised by the original church designer... This guy not only squatted on the observation deck every day thinking about how to improve the archery holes, but also kept working hard urged him to ask the king to privately build a batch of hard crossbows...

The commander had to wonder, was he a soldier, or was this guy a soldier?

And the king actually agreed to build a batch of banned hard crossbows for Newcastle.

However, building a batch of hard crossbows is obviously not something that can be completed in a short period of time, so since then, the commander has avoided James almost every day, for fear that he will spit out a batch of hard crossbows whenever he meets this guy.

"Don't you think it's a little strange?"

On this day, the commander carefully avoided the places where James often haunted, and was about to take a sip of strong wine, when a faint voice suddenly came from behind.

He was so frightened that he almost spit out his drink. When he turned his head, James was standing behind him with an unshaven beard and dark circles under his eyes.

"You, you, you..." The commander twitched the corners of his mouth, and finally said helplessly, "What's wrong?"

"The convoy hasn't arrived yet."

"It's snowing heavily, my dear designer!" The commander was full of bitterness, "In the past two days, you have asked hundreds of times! Listen to me, let those poor craftsmen also have a rest!"
