If you can make Justus say something he doesn't know, then you should think big.

Thousands of cavalry from the Bacchus Empire entered the country, and no other villages or towns have reported attacks so far, which means that they are not attacking Changhe Town.

They wanted to hide in the foggy wilderness.

Eldred must not have told a word of truth to Charles, and his territory is Qicha Fortress.

This is the gateway to Lion City, the capital of the kingdom, and the central fortress between the two countries.

If Eldred is regarded as an internal agent, is it possible that the thousands of cavalrymen of the Bacchus Empire could suddenly launch a large-scale raid under some kind of opportunity and achieve unimaginable results in one fell swoop?

Could this opportunity... possibly be the death of Count Oden?

Because Aldred of Qicha Fortress knows the movements of Earl Oden and his soldiers best!

It is certainly not an accident that Oden would "bump" into the Bacchus Empire's army halfway.

You know, Charles spent a whole day looking around and didn't run into this army... In the foggy wilderness, it was difficult to find them from a few hundred meters away, so how could it be so easy to run into them.

He killed Count Oden, a very influential figure, and framed him to detain the royal guards who were most loyal to the king.

Then the Qicha Fortress garrison was sent to escort Oden's coffin into the Lion City.

The king may come out of the city to greet him - this is a courtesy to the deceased hero, so this will be the first opportunity...

In addition, a large-scale mourning ceremony is inevitable. When the ceremony is in progress, a sudden attack occurs, the city gate is opened to welcome the cavalry of the Bacchus Empire into the city, and the city of Lion is captured by internal and external cooperation. This is a second chance...

As for the unjust accusation of Andrew, it was probably to reduce the number of troops loyal to the king. The armed retinues in the Royal Guards were all professional warriors who were skilled in martial arts and had strong combat effectiveness.

Eldred did not kill Charles, but just expelled him. This was thanks to the fact that no one knew that he was Auden's son...

Charles had served in the House of Lords for so long and many people knew him. No one would believe that he, a retainer who relied on Auden for survival, would murder Auden on the battlefield.

Besides, Charles didn't see the truth with his own eyes.

So Eldred insisted that Lord Andrew killed Oden and captured Andrew's men, but did not say that Charles was an accomplice.

He just expelled Charles, but also deliberately asked him to go to Lion City and Brave Shield Castle to report the news. If Charles was really just Oden's trusted attendant, then the only thing he could do was to spread the news of Oden's death.

Go to Lion City and Brave Shield Keep.

Since he is just a squire who doesn't know the truth, no one will listen to him seriously. His only function is to let everyone know that Oden is dead and to convey what Eldred said.

That's why Charles came to Maixiangling.

But the question is - even if the lord can deduce these things, how can he solve them?

The enemies at White Deer Castle have not retreated yet, Maixiangling and Lion City are thousands of miles apart, and there is no evidence.

Just relying on cleverness to see through the conspiracy cannot subvert everything.

In fact, even if there is evidence, there is probably nothing that can be done against Eldred now.

Oden is dead, Andrew has been accused of being the murderer, and Eldred has detained so many Lion Realm followers - if nothing else happens, someone from those followers will soon come forward to act as an 'eyewitness'

Perjury charges against Andrew…

Andrew must be blamed for this, and he may have been caught by now.

Qicha Fortress is the most important frontline fortress between the Kingdom and the Bacchus Empire, and is also the barrier of the capital Lion City.

Currently at war with the Bacchus Empire, Eldred's existence is particularly important. Even if he knew that he killed Count Oden, I'm afraid no noble would be willing to stand up for a dead man...

Even if the king himself knows the inside story, he may have no choice but to endure this tone unless it is confirmed that the Bacchus Empire has completely withdrawn its troops and Eldred can be killed in one fell swoop.

——Between a dead Earl of Oden and the safety of the kingdom, what would the king choose?

Therefore, this is an unreasonable murder case.

The Lord Lord was actually very angry in his heart.

The reason for anger is not just that Oden was killed, but also his own safety and future...

Losing Oden, the most powerful ally in the east, was a big loss;

If Andrew is blamed for murdering a famous general in the kingdom, then Godric will also be implicated - just for such a thing, the lord may lose two allies at the same time!

He has no backer!

The key is that just a few days ago, the Lord personally killed Rainier, Alma's nephew, Eldred's son, and the eldest son!

Without two backers...

Facing the enemies of Shihu City, Changhe Town, Qicha Fortress, and the Bacchus Empire, which was offended by the kidnapping of the governor, how can we deal with it with a small Maixiang collar?

The lord feels a headache. After thinking about it, there seems to be only one solution?

"Charles, do you want revenge or status?... You can only choose one of the two."

Charles looked at the ground steadily, was silent for a while, then looked up at Li Ang: "I want revenge."

After saying these two words, he seemed to have finally been relieved of some invisible restraint and began to eat.

Seeing that Charles had eaten something and his face looked better, Leon began to explain the task: "In that case, from now on, you will be a knight under my command. This is what I promised the earl. Although he is no longer here, but

It still counts. The situation is urgent now, and the ceremony will be dealt with later. Let me tell you what to do first..."

Charles nodded, he could only rely on this little new baron now.

"Charles...I will take you to Brave Shield Castle and confess your identity to the Countess as a witness. But this also means that you have to give up your inheritance rights in exchange for the Countess' recognition of you. See if you can

Can I get the count's surname for you? This must be before the count's funeral..."

Charles swallowed and nodded sharply again.

The countess would probably accept the disclosure of her illegitimate child's identity at this time, as long as she publicly announced that she was not interested in any inheritance.

After all, illegitimate children have no inheritance rights, and no fool would pretend to be an illegitimate child after the death of the earl and attract a powerful enemy like Eldred to himself.

A knight cannot have a surname. Li Ang must take his subordinates to ask for a surname in the name of his lord.

As for making Charles a knight, it is actually very easy - as long as Li Ang approves it, he only needs to go to the county to file a case.

Amy can do this. This little girl is now in charge of all Godric's seals.

"Charles, how are your martial arts skills?"

Li Ang looked at Charles, he looked quite strong, but he didn't look like a master.

"Very average, Lord Li Ang, my father himself is not a martial arts expert..."

Li Ang closed his eyes forcefully and sighed: "Then you'll probably have to fight tooth and nail...Are you afraid of death?"

Charles shook his head and nodded: "I'm afraid. But my father said that just because you are afraid of death, you should fight to the end...Kill the enemy and you won't die!"
