Earl Brycegot's intention was to obtain the claim of Schwarz County from Ketrissi and then carry out an armed invasion of Schwarz County. Of course, before the invasion, he pretended to send envoys separately. One envoy went to Luxembourg to explain the legitimacy of his troops to the fence Frederick, and the other envoy was sent to Schwarz County to declare war on Rudolf.

"Declare war?" Rudolph met the envoy four days later. Brycegao County and Schwarz County were only separated by a river. After crossing the river, it was Schwarz County. He continued to ride horses for about a day and a half before he arrived at Schwarzburg.

When he had just arrived in Schwarzburg, he was surprised to see many people gathering outside Schwarz's castle, which surprised him. He thought Schwarz County was besieged, but after a closer look, he found that it was all farmers and merchants.

"Yes, Earl Brycegot has obtained the claim of Schwarz County from Ketrisy, so Lord Earl asks you to hand over Schwarz County immediately for peace." The messenger stood in the hall of the lord, wearing a colorful top shirt, which was filled with cotton wool and sewed into shapes with needles and threads, which would immediately make people impress at first glance.

"It's really hateful." In the hall, in addition to Rudolph sitting in the Regent's position, there were many nobles in the court and the generals appointed by Rudolph, who could not help but shout loudly.

"Regent, Count Brycegao must have coveted our territory for a long time, and his claim is invalid." Although Taylor is just a sergeant, don't forget that he is a guard sergeant who has been in the palace for many years and has long been used to the nobles in the palace, and Count Brycegao's trick is not uncommon.

"Mr. Taylor is right. We should gather the army immediately to prevent the invasion of Master Bryce." Lanbert put his waist on his waist, his size standing out among the nobles.

"Wait, Lord Regent, we should figure out why Count Brycegao caused war for no reason." At this time, the palace noble Stefan stood up. He was still dressed as a priest, but most of the nobles in Schwartz's court regarded him as their horse head.

"Mr. Stefan, what do you mean?" Rodney frowned. The mercenary always put the interests of his employer first, and he said dissatisfied.

"Master Stefan is the court priest of Count Schwartz, and he has even served as a bishop. What can you, a lowly mercenary, interfere?" Before Rodney finished speaking, the palace nobles stepped forward to surround him. Although they did not have swords, even if they did not have weapons, they might tear Rodney, who was disrespectful to Stefan, to pieces.

"What do you want to do?" Lan Bot glared wide, and he rushed forward and knocked the nobles who surrounded Rodney. Looking at Lan Bot's tall figure as half a tower, the nobles retreated indignantly.

"Enough, I'm here to meet the messengers, not to see you fighting each other." Rudolph, with a stern face, the disagreement between the nobles in front of Brycegao's messengers was like telling each other, look, we're all starting to fight in the middle, why don't you come and beat me up.

"Regent, I have accurately conveyed the news about Earl Brycegot. Do you accept the peace agreement of Earl Brycegot to give up Schwarz County, or accept the declaration of war?" The envoy looked at the chaos in Schwarz's court and was secretly happy. It seemed that Earl Brycegot had really gotten a good opportunity. Without the support of the nobles, Rudolph would definitely not be able to mobilize his own army, and soon Brycegot's army would come to the city.

"Mr. Stefan, I would like to ask you as an envoy to negotiate with Count Brycegao. I still hope to live in peace with my neighbors." Rudolph put his elbow on the handrail, and he held his chin and said to the noble Stefan.

"What, let me be an envoy?" Stefan did not expect Rudolph to make such a decision. He deliberately provoked disagreement between the nobles and court officials at this time, in order to embarrass Rudolph, hoping to use this to pressure Rudolph.

"That's right, I believe that Lord Stefan's clever tongue will definitely be able to make a clear battle between me and Earl Brycegao. Well, that's it." Rudolf waved his hand, not caring about Stefan's refusal at all.

After Rudolph finished speaking, he stood up and patted the pi

The trooper left, leaving the nobles and court officials aside, and everyone looked at each other, while the messenger of Count Brycegao smiled contemptuously. It seemed that Rudolph was indeed too young and did not know how to please the nobles at all. This would be his fatal weakness.

"Damn it, I completely ignored us."

"What's this? Is it necessary to exile Lord Stefan?"

"What's wrong with Lord Stefan? He's just putting forward his own different opinions."

"tyrant."

"tyrant."

The nobles of the court said to each other without any scruples. Earl Brycegaux's messenger stood aside and listened. He seemed to have nothing to do with this matter, but Stefan slowly walked to him.

"I'm so sorry for letting you see such a rude scene!" Stefan put his hand in front of his chest and bowed slightly to the messenger.

"There is no such thing in Brycegao. You must know that Count Brycegao respects the nobles very much." Count Brycegao's messenger said sweetly, but whether it is true or not, it makes the Schwartz court nobles who feel neglected by Rudolph.

"We have long heard that Count Brycegot is a wise monarch." Some Schwartz court nobles even had the idea of ​​joining Count Brycegot's court, surrounding the envoy, as if surrounding a noble guest.

"Sir, if you don't dislike me, I invite you to the manor outside the castle for a lecture. Anyway, Lord Regent has already given me the mission to serve." Stefan said to the messenger, and he did have a manor outside the castle, which was given to him by Count Schwartz.

"Of course, I'm happy to accept the invitation." The messenger did not expect his mission to go so smoothly. Not only did he spy on the truth of Schwarz County, but he might also bring back a group of surrendered Schwarz County nobles. It can be imagined that when Bryce's tall army arrived, these nobles would open the gates of the castle from inside.

On the other hand, Rudolph gathered with his courtiers in his bedroom. He couldn't help laughing at the puzzled Rodney, Lanbert, Matthew, Taylor and others.

"How about it, do I act like a foolish ruler today?" Rudolph sat on a chair and pointed to the wine pot on the wooden table, allowing Jenny to fill everyone with wine.

"Regent, what exactly are you going to do?" Maxiu couldn't help asking Rudolph.

"There was a king in the East. When he had just ascended the throne, he ate, drank and had fun every day, which caused his ministers to despise him. Therefore, corruption became a trend, so a loyal minister came to advise him." Rudolph picked up a glass of wine and said to his court officials with ease.

"Regent, we have no time to tell stories now. Master Bryce will call him." Taylor said anxiously.

"Don't worry, their people will not come over immediately. If I'm not wrong, Lord Stefan will invite the messenger to visit, which will delay us a lot of time." Rudolph smiled and took a sip of wine and said.

"Regent, you continue." Maxiu laughed, and he leaned against the door with his arms held back and said to Rudolf.

"The minister said, King, do you know? There is a bird in our territory that has not been yelling or flying for three years. Do you know what kind of bird it is? Guess what the king said?" Rudolph glanced at his court officials, and everyone looked at each other in a daze, so Rudolph began to talk to himself.

"The king said that three years of no excitement was made, so the king observed all the ministers in three years. When he returned to power, he killed those corrupt and disloyal ministers and valued loyal ministers, so the country immediately became stronger." Rudolf said slowly.
