European Emperor Cultivation System

Chapter 15 Conspiracy
Morning, baron's castle.

"Report Your Excellency the Baron, there is a messenger outside the city asking to see you, and it is sent by the Duke of Normandy."

The baron put down the half-cooked steak and went out to the outer hall to meet the messenger.

"It looks like something big is going to happen. Bring him in."

The courier appeared to be in a hurry, and rushed to the inner castle at a very fast pace. Baron Mona had been waiting there for a long time. From his appearance, he knew that what he was going to say next was not easy.

"What did the Duke send you here for?"

"Have you heard the news of the death of King Louis V, Your Excellency the Baron?" The messenger panted a little, but tried his best to express the news clearly.

The baron frowned, with a doubtful expression on his face, and crossed his hands behind his back, "Didn't the King of France just take the throne for a year? This is the fake news that someone released, although this guy is far worse than his father, Lothair I. During his reign, there was no What we have achieved, but it may be a bit difficult based on our strength alone."

Seeing that the baron didn't believe it, the messenger emphasized it again. "It's true. King Louis V of France died unexpectedly. The Duke of Normandy has confirmed the authenticity of the news with the Duke of Capet."

The Baron crossed his hands on his chest again, as if thinking about something, "So, the Duke sent you here, did you have any instructions to give?" The Baron seemed to know the purpose of the messenger, and was just waiting to confirm again. .

"As you know, our Duke and Duke Capet have always been a friendly alliance. This time, the King of France has passed away, and Louis V has no children, so Duke Capet wants..."

"Are you going to overthrow the Carolingian Dynasty? Hehe, it's really interesting." The baron had already guessed what he was going to say next, seeing that he couldn't get to the point for a long time, he simply explained it for him.

The messenger also smiled and nodded, "Your Excellency the Baron is indeed a man who understands important things. Then I believe you should also know that Duke Capet's most powerful competitor, the uncle of Louis V, the Duke of Lower Lorraine is the most powerful competitor of Duke Capet." A strong competitor."

"I don't know. I have never met many lords in Normandy, and even more in other places. It should be because I am ignorant. I stay in my castle all day long, and I haven't learned much about the outside world."

"Now that the Duke of Capet has already acted, the Duke of Normandy will assist the Duke of Capet to overthrow the Carolingian Dynasty. At that time, there will be military operations against the Duke of Lower Lorraine." The messenger just continued, without any embarrassment.

"What about the time?"

"Let's go out in three days." The messenger replied firmly.

"There is no need to take the initiative to attack, it's just a deterrent. We can retreat when Duke Capet secures his position as King of France," the messenger added.

The baron didn't speak, but kept pinching his beard, and his eyes were a little erratic.

"Your Excellency Baron, I just walked all the way from outside and found that your knights' equipment is a bit rudimentary, and many of them have not been updated."

The baron stood there quietly and looked at it first. The messenger was wearing bright and bright cloth. The texture and material of the robe seemed to be superior to his own. His eyes seemed a little helpless. After thinking about it, he remained silent.

"The Duke's military supplies will arrive in two days. The quantity is not large. Let's reassemble it before action."

The baron sighed, pursed his lips, and finally spit out a few words. "Okay, got it, is there anything else to convey?"

The messenger shook his head, bowed and left.

Knight Alter just stood aside and listened silently before, but now he can finally say a few words. "Your Excellency the Baron, it looks like you are preoccupied. Is this operation dangerous?"

Baron Mona calmed down, with a confident expression on his face, he shrugged and waved his hands casually. "It should be, or maybe I'm old and can't stand the toss, but this operation is a big event, we remember to perform well."

The baron turned around, walked forward and patted Atel on the shoulder, telling him not to think too much. Then he moved to the table in the middle, put his hand on the Bible, and prayed devoutly.

"Great Lord, Lord Almighty, please protect us."

Not knowing why, Ater also followed the example of the baron, and made a cross on his chest, and then put his hands on the Bible and prayed devoutly.

"It seems that this era is destined to undergo earth-shaking changes." The baron stared at the engraved cross texture in front of him, silently closed the Bible, dipped some red paint and pressed it firmly on the cover.
