8: 20 PM.
In the luxurious guest room of the Kurfürst, Laing was writing while leaning on the table. Talleyrand was standing by the window with his cane. On the other side, Morgiana was looking at Laing with her arms crossed. She was so jealous that black smoke started to appear behind her. The Lake Goddess Witch looked at Laing with displeasure. "You still have the mood to write a love letter at a time like this? Laing, I don't want to criticize you. After all, you are the person I love. But as the commander of the entire army, you are writing a love letter at a time like this? "
Laing smiled. He reached out and pinched Morgiana's hand. The Lake Goddess Witch's face turned red, but she still insisted, "Okay, Laing, I know you miss Emilia. Can you bear with it for a while? When this is over, I will invite your Duchess of the Empire to visit Brittany again. "
The Knight King dipped his quill in ink and said, "Your Excellency Emmanuelle von Lebowitz Bernardino, the respected and beloved Countess of the Empire. Every time I think of your name and your beautiful face, no words can describe my throbbing heart. Even in the snowflakes of Herzig, I can't feel the slightest chill …"
"Laing!" Morgiana's voice became louder. "Are you listening to me?"
Laing shook his head. The snow fell on his hair. The wind and snow of Herzig came in through the window. Talleyrand, who was standing by the window, shivered and quickly closed the window. Cripple didn't come over. He stopped about five meters away from Laing. Seeing that Morgiana was even more dissatisfied with Laing, Cripple said, "Your Majesty, should I go out first?"
"No need. You know what it is anyway." Laing shook his head. Talleyrand was very happy to hear this. He didn't want to go out either.
"?" Morgiana was a bit confused. Laing didn't ask him to go out when he wrote a love letter?
Never mind. Cripple was the ambassador of Brittany to Nur appointed by Laing. Brittany now had two ambassadors in the Empire. One was in Marlinburg, and the other was in Nur.
"Talleyrand, do you think I should write this letter?" Before Morgiana could finish, Laing said to Cripple, who had seen through everything.
"Of course." Talleyrand turned his head 30 degrees and said unhurriedly, "You are the master. You have the right to do anything."
"Pfft." Laing was amused by Talleyrand's words.
As expected of a ruthless person from the elite palace. His words were watertight, flattering and evasive. Not only did he remove himself from the matter, but he also perfectly emphasized Laing's authority — the authority of the master.
Knight King began to feel the need to explain himself. "Morgiana, I'm sure you can see why Hildebrand can't wait to ask us to take the initiative. He's even willing to be the vanguard? "
"It's not hard to guess. Obviously, this Kurfürst doesn't want the war to happen in Hawk." Morgiana nodded. The Lake Goddess also knew that she was jealous. She suppressed the jealousy in her heart, adjusted her skirt, and said, "If Wolfenburg falls, the next target will undoubtedly be Herzig. Just like Talleyrand said, this city is already broken enough. The Light of the East of the Empire can't go through another war."
"That's right, but that's only the first level." Laing continued to write. Knight King said casually, "There are several more levels. Listen to me slowly, Morgiana. When I'm done, you'll know why Hildebrand is so anxious."
"Okay, I'll listen." Seeing that Laing was willing to talk and explain more to her, Morgiana's mood immediately improved.
"That's right. As the Kurfürst of Hawk, Hildebrand has the responsibility to ensure the safety of his people. He doesn't want the war to happen in Hawk. That's one reason, but the more important reason is that he wants us to take the initiative to attack. He wants us to exhaust the Army of Chaos and delay the attack of the Army of Chaos, so as to buy time for the reinforcements from the rear of the Empire to arrive." Laing continued, "Speaking of which, the deeper reason is that he wants to bind our army to his army in this way."
Talleyrand nodded slightly. These tricks were all played out in the War Parliament every day. He was also interested in Laing's powerful analytical ability. A High Elf Prince once said, "Politics is the mother of war, and war is the continuation of politics."
"Bind together?" Morgiana adjusted her skirt slightly, revealing her delicate ankles wrapped in flesh-colored thick stockings. The Lake Goddess Witch suddenly realized something. "You mean, he's using words?"
"Let's think about it again. Are the people in Hawk really that important?" Laing smiled. Knight King picked up a quill and seemed to be thinking about the words. "Let's recall. How many troops does Hawk have, and how many actually dare to go out of the city to fight?"
Morgiana was now paying attention. The Lake Goddess Witch suddenly realized that she had indeed been led into the rhythm.
How many troops did Herzig have? Twenty thousand, but most of them were temporary recruits. Just like Kurfürst Hildebrand said, only five thousand of them could really fight in the field. The fifty thousand soldiers of Ryan and Boris' coalition army, on the other hand, were all elites in the field!
"That's right. With these five thousand people." Leon continued to write while hunched over his desk. The Knight King sneered, "But after what he said, does everyone think that his army is already one of us? But did we agree to form an alliance with him from the beginning to the end? "
"What a bastard!" Morgiana finally couldn't help but curse. The Lake Goddess Witch still cared about her manners in front of outsiders, but she was still angry. "Are the people of the Empire all bastards like this?"
"Then we'll have to talk about his deeper meaning." Laing nodded. Knight King added, "If the war is not going well, Morgiana, where do you think we'll retreat to? There are only two places. The first is Tara Beheim, and the second is Mildenheim in White Wolf City. Either way, we definitely won't defend Herzig. So, here comes the problem. As the Elector of Hocke, Hildebrand definitely doesn't want Hocke to be abandoned. So, he must be aggressive and tough. He must look like a fool and even volunteered to be the vanguard. That's why. If he takes the initiative, we will be passive. "
"Yes, Hildebrand was so brave in the meeting. He was so fearless in the face of death. His behavior made us look passive. We are the Kingdom of Knight King, which respects the spirit of chivalry and chivalry. If we act cowardly, it won't be good for our image." Morgiana completely understood. "I get it. You've been silent and indecisive because you don't want to fall into his trap, right?"
"What does Hocke have?" Laing mocked, "A third-rate knight legion like the Knights of the Broken Sword? Not just the Griffin Knights and White Wolf Knights, even the Knights Templar, the Knights Hospitaller, the Cheetah Knights, the Burning Sun Knights, the Golden Lion Knights, the Moore Knights, and so on are far inferior to them. Does Hocke have a saint-level expert? Or is it the Drakwald Scouts who are good at fighting but greedy for road taxes and random fines, and who only know how to intercept and demand military supplies all day long? "
"Ganderman's Undefeated Archers are still worth using, Your Majesty," Talleyrand interjected, "In terms of shooting, only the Armoured Nur is better than them."
"But that's a company of more than a hundred people. It's better than nothing." Ryan then explained, "So, I need this love letter. The purpose of this letter is not to confess my love to Amelia. I'm not that bored … I'm just using her to remind the imperial army in Tara Beheim, which is moving slowly and quarreling endlessly because of the uncertainty of command, to speed up! We're already waiting at Herzig. "
"It's not convenient for Your Majesty to urge Emperor Karl-franz to move faster. It's a humiliation." Talleyrand added, "It's also not convenient for you to write a letter to Lady Emmanuelle asking her to move faster. That's the same as saying that the Empire's emperor is a piece of trash. Yes, we can say it's an emergency, but the people of the Empire will resent us for interfering in the internal affairs of the Empire. The friendship between Emperor Karl-franz and Your Majesty will most likely be broken. The diplomatic relations accumulated over the past two decades will revert back to square one."
This time, Morgiana finally accepted Laing's suggestion. The Lake Goddess leaned back weakly. "Really … But there's no need to use a love letter."
"Alright, I'm done. Talleyrand, you're a master in this field. Help me take a look." Laing finally finished. The Knight King passed the parchment to Talleyrand.
"Can you read it, Your Majesty?" Your Majesty? "said Talleyrand, half jokingly, as he took it.
"Lower your voice."
"Okay … Erm … Lady Emmanuelle von Lebowitz Bernardino, the respected and beloved Lady of the Empire."
"Every time I think of your name and your flower-like face, no words can describe my throbbing. Even in the snowflakes of Herzig, I can't feel the slightest chill."
"I don't know how to control the burning love in my chest. As the Light of the East in the Empire, every day and night, the figures of you, Lil Frey Derick, and Rem keep appearing in my mind."
"Every time I look up at the bright moon under the night sky, the crescent moon is like the petals of an iris flower, pure and noble. When the spotless snowflakes fall on my hair, I can't help but remember the time we spent together in Nord and Marlin Castle."
"Every time this happens, I always think, every time we raise our heads and look at the same sky, when we see the same scene, are our hearts the same from beginning to end?"
"Awaiting your reply, Brittany Knight King, Lady of the Lake's Chosen Champion, Laing Macado."
After reading it out loud, the high elf shrugged and praised, "If I were to say it's perfect, Your Majesty, it's too perfect. Based on the standards of a human, I can guarantee that Lady Emmanuelle will definitely treasure this letter, but once she has the chance, she will show it to the noble ladies of Nur … No, the noble ladies of the entire empire!"
"This way, Emmanuelle will have a reason to come to the frontlines personally. The dispute over the command of the army will no longer be a problem. The Empire's army will be able to put aside their differences and rush over. Herzig is only 70 kilometers away from Tara Beheim, so it will only take three days for them to arrive."
Even though she had accepted Laing's explanation, Morgiana felt her chest tighten, especially after she read Laing's love letter. She looked up and said, "Alright, Talleyrand, you can leave now."
"Yes, ma 'am!" Talleyrand immediately realized that it was time for him to leave. He quickly bowed and hesitated. "This letter …"
"Find Veronica or Aurora immediately and ask them to use magic to send this letter to Nur!" Laing also signaled Talleyrand to leave. "They shouldn't be in the castle now. Go find Bertrand and ask him to send a few Old Guard to escort you. The streets of Herzig are not safe at all."
"Understood." Talleyrand left.
As soon as Talleyrand left, Morgiana cast a soundproof spell at the door and sat on Laing's lap. "Laing?! Where's my love letter? Where's my love letter? "
"Morgiana!" Laing hugged Morgiana and let her sit comfortably in his arms. The Knight King said helplessly, "Didn't I explain a lot? The most important thing about this love letter is that it has a political purpose. I'm not that bored to write a love letter! It's all for … "
"Yes, I know that. So, where's my love letter?" Morgiana did not give up. The Lake Goddess Witch wrapped her arms around Leon's neck and kissed him passionately. Her tongue slipped into his mouth, and the Breton kiss lasted for a whole minute. Morgiana still wanted more. "Where's mine? Where's mine?" Morgiana asked.
"Didn't I say that it's a political act?" Laing began to have a bad feeling.
"Yes, you bribing Emilia is a political act. Don't you have to bribe me?" Morgiana was excited. The Lake Goddess Witch was angry, anxious, embarrassed, and angry. She grabbed Laing's collar and stared at him with her lake-green eyes. "I'm the Lake Goddess Witch. I have the power to drag the king down from the throne. You have to bribe me. You have to write me a love letter of the same standard! No, one letter is not enough. I want two! I've already let you tattoo that whatever spiritual rune you have. I've also worn the stockings and high heels you like for you to see every day. When we're together, you always let me … Anyway, I've already let you do it. Don't you think you should give me a formal love letter? "
"This …" Laing's face turned green. Once he opened his mouth, what would happen in the future? By then, everyone in his backyard would want him. Would he, the Knight King, become the Love Letter King?
"Can … Can I use other things to exchange for it? Morgiana, I'm not good at writing love letters! "Laing could only beg for mercy.
"Then, this …" Morgiana thought for a moment and stretched out two slender fingers toward Laing. "Accompany me?"
"Two days? That's not a problem. "Laing felt relieved. Two days was not a problem.
"What two days?" As expected, Morgiana was unhappy again. She stretched out two slender fingers and poked Laing's chest.
"I'm talking about two hundred days!"
… I'm also talking about the cut-off line for a love letter …
At the same time, in the banquet hall of the Hawk Territory, the attendants were ready. Kurfürst Hilde didn't look too good. He didn't know if his method had worked, but he still signaled the attendants to call everyone to attend the banquet.
"Hoot ~" A tiger-headed sea eagle flew in from outside the city. This giant eagle was 1.5 meters long and weighed 12 kilograms. It flapped its wings and flew into the banquet hall with a bamboo tube tied to its ankle.
New information!
Kurfürst quickly took the bamboo tube and took out the information inside.
"Several undead knights wearing blood-red cursed armor appeared in the fallen areas of Auster and Kislöw? They specialize in attacking the rear of Chaos and destroying the scattered armies of Chaos? "
"What's going on? Even the undead have joined this war? "
