And Amy took the Lion Knights directly into Seven Forks Fortress, and hung up the red bottom Golden Lion Banner high.
The lord of Seven Forks Fortress is not here, and the garrison dare not stop him. This is Royal Knights after all.
In fact, Li Ang wants to use this method to make Bacchus Empire really retreat...
The key to solving the problem originally lies in whether Bax withdraws its troops.
The Lord Lord said this to the Lion Knight Order people, "There are enemies peeping secretly at the moment, and the situation is unknown. Are you willing to protect Miss Amy here for a few days?"
"Of course I do!" "Lord Li Ang Don't worry..."
Lion Knight agreed quite happily.
With the experience of fighting side by side before, Lion Knights still respect Li Ang - going deep into the enemy's camp and capturing two governors, this can last a lifetime.
Of course, the main reason is what Ryman inadvertently revealed - most of the young people at Lion Knight Order do have thoughts about Amy...
It is of course the Lion Knights' duty to protect Miss Amy... They will even be grateful to the lord for creating opportunities for them.
This is the reason why Li Ang wants Ryman to go first and Lion Knight to come to Seven Forks Fortress with him.
With Lion Knight, you can force Eldred away and make Bacchus Empire retreat.
This is actually the 'two-sided barrier' in Art of Strategy.
Eldred and Bacchus Empire cannot be monolithic, and they will also be suspicious of each other. Especially since Renier is dead, no matter who killed Renier, he died for the Bacchus Empire's plan anyway.
Then Bacchus Empire will doubt Eldred, and there is a high probability that he will not be able to act according to the original plan - the pain of losing a son, who can be sure what a father who has just died will do?
Eldred may be able to control the pain of losing his son, but he will definitely doubt whether Bacchus Empire will give up on him and abandon his original plan because of this?
The appearance of Lion Knight Order will make Eldred think that the king already knows the news of the Bacchus Empire's withdrawal, so he confidently and boldly sends Lion Knight to 'investigate' him without fear of forcing him to rebel.
Therefore, there will be changes in Eldred - no matter what kind of changes are OK, as long as he leaves Seven Forks Fortress.
And once he makes any changes, in the eyes of the Bacchus Empire, he will be completely untrustworthy.
This is a two-sided barrier. As long as the two parties are not close blood relatives, there is a high probability that they will part ways due to mutual suspicion.
The smarter a person is, the more likely they will fall into this mental barrier.
"Teacher, what if Bacchus Empire really launches an attack?"
Amy is still a little worried. Of course Bacchus Empire has not retreated yet. Seven Forks Fortress's current situation makes it impossible to fight. These garrisons are unreliable, and Lion Knight Order doesn't have many people.
"People from the Bacchus Empire are not stupid... If you were Governor Kairos and saw Seven Forks Fortress planting the flag of Lion Knight Order, what would you think?"
Lord, the class begins.
"You might think that Seven Forks Fortress was taken over by Lion Knight Order..."
Amy is a little hesitant, she has not yet adapted to this way of thinking that fully replaces everyone.
"That's right. Now that Kairos sees this situation, do you think he dares to attack?"
"Teacher, if it were you, would you attack?"
"I will retreat immediately. Kairos has all the cavalry in his hands and cannot forcefully attack the city. The conspiracy with Eldred is probably to find opportunities to sneak attack Lion City, otherwise Seven Forks Fortress can rebel directly."
Amy nodded thoughtfully. "But if Lion City is safe, then Eldred will definitely not be willing to rebel directly. Otherwise, as soon as the imperial army retreats, he will face an encirclement and suppression by the kingdom's army... So he has always only cooperated with the empire to provide intelligence and create opportunities for the empire, but will not show any resistance."
The lord is very pleased, it is so rare for a student to have this kind of understanding.
"So, as long as Bax's intelligence source is disrupted and Kairos cannot determine the specific situation, he can neither attack the city nor get the opportunity to sneak attack Lion City, so he can only retreat."
Obviously, the intelligence source of the Bacchus Empire is Eldred.
If there was no evil in his heart, he would never leave Seven Forks Fortress - he would be safe if he stayed here.
In fact, since there is no evidence, Eldred cannot be brought down by mere empty accusations.
But since Lion Knight has come to 'investigate', it means that Ulrich doesn't trust him, so Eldred can't just sit there.
As Li Ang said, he can either go to Lion City to explain the situation, or directly rebel, or he can only run away.
The rebels could only defend the isolated city and wait for the king to attack. Since Bacchus Empire had already 'retreated', Eldred knew that he had no backup.
Running away will most likely lead to a dead end, and the family will also be implicated.
So Eldred left Seven Forks Fortress and went to Lion City, allowing Lion Knight to enter the fortress to 'investigate'.
He wasn't worried about Count Oden's death. No one could do anything about him - Andrew's charges were almost confirmed due to the "testimonies" of some of the followers who could not bear the torture.
Even if he is the king's nephew, it is possible to overturn the case, but Eldred's hands and feet are very clean, and no one can accuse him without evidence.
The specific actions of treason have not yet begun. As long as the plan is suspended, no one will have evidence to accuse Eldred.
So it is feasible to go to Lion City to explain, and the king will most likely let him go.
After all, there is no evidence, and the king cannot conclude that Eldred is also treason just because Renier attacked Wheat Fragrance Territory.
The king actually needs evidence when doing things.
Moreover, in order to exonerate his nephew Andrew and to regain control of the royal guards, the king also needs the armed guards detained by Eldred to "overturn the verdict", so he will not do anything to him.
But what Eldred didn't expect was that as soon as he arrived at Lion City, he encountered Baron Heriwold who sued him...
"Your Majesty, I want to accuse Eldred of collaborating with the enemy and treason! Your Majesty, please read this letter!"
The content of that letter is this...
"Marshal Kairos: Our army was unfavorable in the war at White Deer Fortress, and internal commander Renier was killed. Eldred lost his son in middle age due to the empire's plan, and he will no longer be loyal to the empire. Your plan may be exploited by Eldred and lead to an ambush. To avoid losses, please give up your plan to withdraw your troops. Sincerely, Justus."
King Ulrich asked Grand Scholar Igor to verify it - the letter was indeed written by Justus, and the ring seal was also authentic.
In fact, this letter cannot be used as evidence of Eldred's treason - a letter from an enemy cannot be used as testimony and may be a divorce plan.
The letter didn't mention what Kairos's plan was - because the lord himself didn't know.
But in any case, this letter is enough for the old man Herriwold to complain.
This will definitely put Eldred into a lawsuit. Ulrich cannot turn a blind eye to this. Eldred will be inseparable from Lion City for a while.
Moreover, this letter can also remind the king to take precautions and not to take any risky actions to ensure the safety of Lion City.
In fact, after Ulrich saw this letter, he immediately asked Eldred to stay in Lion City to defend himself, and did not intend to let him return to Seven Forks Fortress...
Eldred may regret it very much. If he had not left Seven Forks Fortress, King Ulrich probably would not have taken this letter seriously and would not have called him to file a lawsuit.
Bacchus Empire's plan is no longer possible.
Seven Forks Fortress was 'taken over' by Lion Knight Order, Eldred was locked in a lawsuit, and Lion City was on guard - no matter what plan Bacchus Empire had, it was useless.
Kairos As long as he wasn't stupid, he should have started to retreat by now.
Even if you can't accurately judge the enemy's plan, as long as you don't give the enemy any chance, you can still retreat.
This is the Lord's preparation. Baron Heriwold thought this was to "fight false accusations with false accusations", but in fact, Li Ang this was not a false accusation...
This is to fulfill Countess's request - "There should be no secret power deals, I just want the murderer to die in front of me."
The main purpose of this letter is to prevent Eldred from returning to Seven Forks Fortress and to delay Lion City in order to file a lawsuit until the day of Oden's funeral.
