    Regardless of whether Puyol believed it or not, the fire spread quickly, so the Germans who were ambushing in the forest all ran away regardless of whether they were threatened by the fire. Suddenly, birds and beasts appeared in the forest, and the crowd roared.  In the face of such a fire, there is no way to ambush. If you are not careful, you will be killed in the sea of ????fire.  Gao Chong and Yang Zaixing waited patiently. When they heard that many Germans began to flee, they were no longer polite. The two dispersed their formation, and the cavalry was responsible for chasing them forward. As soon as the Germans came out of the forest, they were waited for by the ancient town cavalry.  Right.  In the face of the fire, the jungle blockade planned by Doerle and Schwein became a joke. Facing the pursuit of the ancient town cavalry, many Germans gave up the idea of ????escape and directly knelt down to beg for mercy. Fortunately, many Germans  Erle and Schwein were smart enough not to lead the troops in person, otherwise they would be so angry that they would vomit blood when they saw the situation in front of them.  During the battle in the misty forest, half of the Germans escaped, leaving more than 10,000 troops who were either buried in a sea of ??fire or surrendered on the spot.  This incident seemed to have grown wings and quickly spread throughout the Holy Empire. Not to mention the eastern nobles and the Danube nobles, the most shocked ones were the grape nobles headed by the Royce family.  Royce looked at the message in his hand and didn't react for a long time. This was an army of 30,000 people. They were defeated like this. Is God kidding?  In Royce's opinion, no matter how powerful the Easterners were, they were still outsiders who were not familiar with the misty forest. They would have to fight fiercely for a while. If there was another heavy snowfall, they would have no choice but to retreat to Feistak City.  Royce still knew the strength of the eastern nobles and the nobles in the Danube. The combat effectiveness of the soldiers and horses assembled by these two great nobles could not be too bad.  However, no one expected that the Orientals would not follow the routine. During the battle in the misty forest, they did not take any action and directly set fire to the forest. The fire has not been extinguished to this day.  Those people in Dorle were too unlucky to encounter such tough opponents as the Orientals.  Of course, the battle in the Misty Forest also made Royce determined to persuade the northern nobles to put pressure on the royal family.  The footsteps of the Orientals can no longer be stopped, and occupying the Kingdom of Saxony cannot change the reality. If a decision is not made at this time, I am afraid that the day lilies will be cold.  After thinking for a while, Royce came to the study on the second floor of the castle.  De Koler is an elegant knight. He has a good family background and is more wise in his dealings with others.  De Koller's life was not smooth sailing. Although his family lasted for more than two hundred years, it was not a truly wealthy family. It was still far behind those huge vineyard aristocrats.  When he was young, Dekler was forced to flee to the Frankish Kingdom due to great changes in his family. He did not return to his family until he was fifteen years old.  In that chaotic era, he started from the bottom and regained the family's command power step by step.  As the family became more and more powerful, those who opposed it began to become more honest. Today, under the leadership of Dekler, the Sousa family has become one of the most powerful factions in the northern part of the Kingdom of Lorraine.  The most wrong thing I have done in these years is probably to agree to the participation of the Red-Crowned Knights in the war in the Istria Highlands. In this war, I almost lost my only son.  Fortunately, God bless, my son returned safely.  Dekler is not the kind of person who has a strong edge. His early experiences taught him that he should never be too aggressive at any time. People who blindly advance often die miserably. The first thing a successful person should do is not to get something.  , but you must first find a good position and position yourself so that you can know what you want.  Once you have self-awareness, you can then find a backer to benefit from it.  Dekler relied on this iron rule to navigate among the major forces and bring the not-so-powerful Sosa family to its current position.  Nowadays, the Holy Empire is undergoing major changes. When it is time to reshuffle the cards, we must find a good direction at this time.  During this period, Dekler has not been idle. In the eyes of others, the leader of the Sosa family seems to have nothing to do with himself. But in fact, the changes in all aspects of the empire have not exceeded Dekler.  Kohler is in control.  After Royce came back, he once talked about the Easterners, but Dekler did not make an immediate decision because he was more mature than Royce.  No matter how tyrannical the Easterners are, they will not be able to affect the Holy Empire if they stay in the highlands of Istria. The Sosa family does not have strong military strength. If they do not have strong backing, they will be swallowed up even to their bones and scum.  leftover.  There are some things that Royce doesn't know about. The Sosa family can gain a foothold in the multi-party game, and even the royal family of Emma Tai'er gives three points of courtesy. That's because the Sosa family secretly has a close relationship with the Frank Lewis family.  Inextricably linked.  There is another thing that Royce is even more unclear about. It was not the Frank nobleman who suggested that Louis win the little princess of the Wetting family, but him, De Koller.  Of course, it is impossible to tell Royce these things. How dark politics is is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.  The battle in the misty forest exceeded everyone's expectations. Dekler was also caught off guard. When he was hesitating, Royce knocked on the door.  The door opened, and Royce quickly walked into the study. He anxiously put the message in his hand on the desk, "Dear father, the Orientals have already reached the Elbe River. We must make a decision early."?That¡¯s it.  The child has had contact with the Eastern Regent. His Highness acts resolutely and keeps his promises. If we don't express our attitude as soon as possible, I am afraid that after the Easterners take over the Kingdom of Saxony, we Lorraine nobles will be the first to suffer.  ¡± The Lorraine nobles were sandwiched between the Franks and the Germanic nobles. The Saxon Kingdom was in the north, and the circulation of all goods was strangled by others. If the Easterners wanted to deal with the Lorraine Kingdom, they did not need to take action at all. They only needed to unite with the Germanic nobles.  Cutting off the trade route could kill the Lorraine nobles. He was not surprised. He did not read the military report on the table, but smiled and motioned Royce to sit down, "Royce, you are still too heavy.  Stop being angry, do you know why I didn't let you go to the Wei Ting family before?  "    "Why?  "Royce was a little stunned. He had previously proposed to lobby Hornan to prevent Marina from marrying Louis, but Decollet rejected it at the time. But at this time, what was going on with Marina? Decoller saw Luo  The expression on Yis's face showed that his son hadn't figured it out yet, so he explained patiently, "There are some things you don't understand, but now I can let you know some things. That fat man Louis doesn't care much about the affairs of the Kingdom of Lorraine."  , how could it be possible to know the existence of Marina?  The Frankish nobles have always been arrogant and rude, and they would not suggest that Louis marry Marina. Although Marina has a distinguished status, she is only a princess of the Weiting family, not a royal princess.  " Dekler sat on the chair next to him and slowly pushed the wine glass to Royce's hand, but Royce didn't seem to see it and was just lost in thought. After a long time, Royce came back to his senses from his thoughts.  , looked at Dekler with a complicated expression, "Father, could it be that you initiated the Marina incident?  How is this possible? Why would my father do this?  " Seeing Royce's reaction, De Koller finally showed a smile of relief, "Why can't we do this?  Do you think that if there is no Frankish royal family to support us, how can the Sousa family control the voice in the northern part of the kingdom based on its strength?  There are many white grape aristocrats who are stronger than us, but we can't get our turn no matter what. Do you think Matai'er is really a good old man who only knows how to laugh?  When the Council of Elders contacted the Red Grape Nobles two years ago, wasn't it just for us?  Suggesting that Luis marry Marina is to tie the Weiting family to us. Only in this way can we ensure that the Sousa family will not fall within fifty years.  Royce, you still have a lot to learn. Family games are not as simple as imagined. Honor?  loyalty?  These things will only harm you. I didn't let you lobby the Wei Ting family before because you didn't want to give up the support of the Lewis family.  The Orientals are very powerful, but don¡¯t forget that we are Lorraine. Surrounding us are Saxony, Hohenzollern, and Frank. Water from afar cannot quench the thirst of those near us.  If the Easterners don't extend their tentacles into the empire, how can they guarantee our interests?  When the Oriental people didn't come, they went to lobby the Wei Ting family. Wasn't this the end of the road?  The fat man Louis is very greedy, but at least there is a way out.  You must keep in mind that no matter what happens in the future, you must reserve a way out for the family. If you take the road to death, the fate of the family will be over.  This is also the reason why the southern Red Grape people have not cooperated with the royal family for decades. They would rather find the Frederick family than cooperate with the royal family. The same goes for us. Even if we cooperate with the Louis family, we will not cooperate with the royal family, because we all  You know, once you are tied to the royal family and defeat the other party, your own interests will not be preserved.  The balance of the kingdom cannot be broken easily. The royal family is not so easy to deal with. Matai seems to smile at everyone, but this royal leader will never be polite when he takes the initiative. Only balance can guarantee our interests.  , unless one day, one party can be so powerful that it ignores the attitudes of other forces.  If the power of the royal family was not growing, why would I try to tie myself to the Wei Ting family.  The kingdom seems peaceful, but in fact there is an undercurrent. The Matai family has accumulated more than thirty years of strength. Once it breaks out, the white grape nobles alone cannot hold it back.  " Dekler spoke in a gentle tone and told a lot. The inside story here is something that Royce has never thought about and even has no access to. Dekler is really helpless in doing this. Royce is a decent knight. Today's words  It has disrupted his previous concepts. But he has to do this because he is Royce, the future leader of the Sousa family. He is familiar with the Orientals. In the future, he will be in charge of the family's interests. If it remains the same as before.  Being naive is probably not a good thing for the family. Royce lowered his head. There were too many things in his mind, and he felt like he was going to explode. Everything he heard today had shattered his faith for more than ten years.  I wouldn't even believe it if it came from my father. I used to think that my father was a noble and elegant knight and a true knight. But now I know that my father has many dark sides. When the facts are in front of me, I feel like a fool.  Same. Royce couldn't blame Dekler. After some time, Royce picked up the wine glass and took a deep sip, "Father, why did you do these things before?"Never said it before, is it because I let you down?  " "No, Royce, you are wrong. I don't want you to come into contact with these things prematurely. Your loyalty, faith and honor are also your weapons. In life, everyone has his own way. I will follow you.  By saying this, I am not asking you to follow suit in everything, but you must understand how deep the family game is. No matter what method is used, it is for the long-term prosperity of the family.  Perhaps, with you here, the future of the family will be better.  Sometimes, no matter how sophisticated a strategy is, it is not as good as a unique vision. At least when it comes to the issue of the Orientals, you are very accurate. If we can turn to the Orientals early, we will gain more benefits.  No choice is perfect, and there has never been anything perfect in this world." Dekler patted Royce on the shoulder, stood up slowly, walked to the place where the bookshelves were listed, and quickly took out a pure gold  Box, "Royce, from now on, you can do what you want to do, and the Sosa family will be your strongest support.  Go to Merlin City tomorrow. You must go there with a big fanfare and let everyone know that you have gone to Merlin City. Give this gift to Miss Marina and tell Huo Nan and the Wei Ting family that cooperation is the only way out.  , and Godfrey of Turin would not say anything.  " Godfrey is actually the name of Mattei, and he is also known as Henry VI. If Dekler dared to do this, he had identified Mattei's weakness. As long as the southern nobles and the northern nobles did not break up, Martha would  Tai'er didn't dare to make a big move. Royce took the gold box and opened it gently. He just took a look and was shocked by the object in front of him. It was a bright hairpin, which looked like a blooming plum blossom.  A petal is inlaid with the finest purple gemstones. This hairpin is not a plopped hairpin, but an ornament that all the craftsmen of the Principality spent a huge amount of money to create for Jutta, the daughter of Grand Duke Friedrich of Lorraine. Later, all the queens of the Principality wore it.  This thing was known as the Queen's Flower. It was not until the senate was in turmoil at the end of Henry V that the hairpin returned to the hands of the nobles of Lower Lorraine in the north, and finally fell into the hands of the Sosa family. Over the years, the family has been obsessed with the Queen.  Flowers are strictly guarded, but today Dekler wants to give the Queen's Flower to Marina. The Queen's Flower is not the most expensive treasure, but it is definitely priceless because the meaning contained in it cannot be replaced by other treasures.  , whoever can wear the Queen's Flower will be recognized. Dekler took out the Queen's Flower to tell everyone that the Sousa family will become the staunchest allies of the Orientals. Of course, this is also for the Orientals to see.  , only by doing this can future interests be guaranteed. It also tells the southern red grape nobles that with the support of the Orientals, there is no need to be afraid of the Frederick family and the Louis family, and the Henry family does not have to worry, the Sosa family can defeat the Louis family.  Pushing aside, the Weiting family can also ignore the views of the Lewis family. Royce may have unique vision and good ability, but his handling skills are still far behind Dekler. Roy came out of the study.  Royce was still immersed in the shock of the Queen's Flower. His father's move was really powerful. All that was left was how to convince the Wei Ting family. For this, Royce didn't have much to worry about, as long as the Orientals entered.  The faster the Suplin Castle moves, the faster the Weiting family bows its head. It's just a matter of how much profit they have to pay. Of course, the woman Marina is also a variable. If this woman refuses to obey, there is really no way to take her.  Method. Early the next morning, Royce led more than 20 soldiers to leave Sosa Castle and headed south along the forest road. For three days, Royce did nothing else but rush.  The momentum was high, and they even passed through Tulin City to inform everyone about their trip to Meilin City. Three days later, they finally arrived outside Meilin City. The Wei Ting family had already received the news, and two guards were there.  Royce and his party were led into the castle manor. Merlin is the largest city in the northwest of the Danube River. It is also the core area of ??the red grape aristocracy in the south. It has always been the territory of the Weiting family and the Luke family, and the Weiting family is even more important.  Known as the King of Merlin, Royce was placed in the castle to the west of the manor. He was not in a hurry. He had already arrived in Merlin City. Was he still worried about not seeing Huo Nan when he stayed in Merlin City?  Er Nan, at this time, the Wei Ting family is probably the most anxious. Meilin City is called Red Wine Manor, and it is definitely not a random name.  The trade in the city is very prosperous. The Merlin Avenue located in the west of the city is home to 70% of the wine merchants in the Kingdom of Lorraine. There is an endless stream of caravans transporting wine via the Danube River and horse teams.  On this Merlin Avenue, the most powerful one is the caravan of the Wei Lan family.  The Weilan family has been married for hundreds of years and has been married to the Luke family for generations. It can be said that it is powerful. Now half of the merchants on Merlin Avenue depend on the Weilan family's face.  A big thing happened at the dock today. The caravan belonging to the Malot family in North Lorraine was detained. The reason was not complicated. It was because the heirs of the Weilan family did not like the Malot family.  There is an unwritten rule in Merlin City that all business interests on Merlin Avenue areIt belongs to the Luke family and the Wei Lan family. Even the Wei Ting family has acquiesced in this.  However, the Marlott family made a big mistake and went to Varro Manor to please Marina, and handed over the taxes that the caravan should pay to Marina.  Who is Marina? She is the princess of the Wei Ting family, the jewel held up by the Red Grape nobles. By doing this, isn't Marina making it clear that she wants to compete with the Wei Lan family for the interests of Merlin Avenue?  In fact, Moore, as the heir of the family, is still too immature, and he takes things too seriously.  Although Marina was of noble birth, she didn't know much about the rules of Merlin City, especially business matters.  When the Marlott family came to give gifts, Marina didn't think much about it and regarded it as a trivial matter.  As the princess of the Weiting family and the most beloved daughter of Hornan, taking care of a northern caravan in Merlin City is not a big deal.  It is well known that Marina was a little arrogant because of the favor she received from Hornan. In addition, Miss Marina was not interested in court etiquette since she was a child. Instead, she likes riding horses and archery, and her character is also a bit flamboyant.  If Moore had gone to talk to Marina from the beginning, maybe the matter wouldn't have been too big.  In Varro Manor, a young woman was dancing in the palace with a two-handed sword. She was tall, with a slender waist, and her blond hair was slightly reddish.  Her beautiful face makes people even more obsessed with her. This woman with a hot figure is Marina, the princess of the Weiting family. She doesn't know what happened on Merlin Avenue now.  In fact, it is not an exaggeration for the Marlott family to go to Varro Manor to visit Marina, but Royce is there.  Royce knew something about the situation in Merlin City, and in a flash he came up with a destructive idea. He secretly encouraged the Malot family to hand over the tax to Marina, and also deliberately ordered the leader of the Malot caravan to engage in an affair with Marina.  Good relationship.  Marina couldn't have imagined so much. She immediately took the money from Marlott's caravan and bought herself a bay-red horse.  This time, she was really soft-spoken, her hands were too short, and all her money was spent. Marina really protected the Marlott caravan.
