Chapter 97 Before the War

Each of Charlotte's three pillars has their own strengths. As strong as Marquis Clark Gable, he is already an official knight-level existence, and he is invincible in the entire Charlot. Marquis Campbell is a well-known wise general, and most of the deployment tasks and external strategies of the Charlotte Kingdom are handled by Marquis Campbell.

Finally, he was the Marquis of Philip. The Marquis of Philippe was, after all, a mere businessman. It's just that he, a businessman, is too big, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is rich and rivals the country, and in the Charlotte folk, he has been given the reputation of a 'God of Wealth', which is not a little worse than the other two 'God of War' and 'God of War'.

That's a pity, that's in the past. Charlotte's three pillars no longer exist, and only one bad old man remains in the present. Marquis Philip walked out of the palace and walked slowly to his carriage. The coachman and the guards beside the car looked respectfully at their master.

With the help of the guards, the Marquis de Philip got into the back seat of the luxurious carriage. With the shouts of the coachman, the convoy headed towards the Marquis's mansion.

Marquis Philip is not a middle-aged man like he looks, in fact, he is already a 50-year-old man, and he has many grandchildren and granddaughters. The reason why he can behave so young can only be said that money can make ghosts grind. Whether it is a treasure medicine for longevity or a holy product for rejuvenation, Marquis Philip usually eats it as a meal.

In terms of luxury, Marquis Philip may not be as good as King Charlotte, nor can he compare with the king, but in terms of food and drink, Marquis Philip can be said to be the best in Charlotte.

Returning to his Marquis's Palace, and refusing the support of the guards, Marquis Philip walked slowly and stiffly towards the hall. The Marquis's Mansion, from the outside, is an ordinary compound, but in fact, it is hidden inside, and the house on the street where Marquis Philip is estimated to be the property of the Marquis.

The houses are opened, and the space inside is unusually open, and if you look down from above, you can find that the marquis's mansion is almost the size of a quarter of the royal palace.

The mansion is large, which also means that the marquis has walked a long way, and the Marquis Philip is not in a hurry at all, he still refuses the support of the guards, and walks slowly.

When I finally walked to the hall of the Marquis's Palace, there were already many people gathered in the hall, all of whom were the Marquis's family. The hall is large enough, there are nearly 100 people here, yes, these more than 100 people are all family members of Marquis Philip.

Walking into the hall, ignoring the greetings of his children and grandchildren, Marquis Philippe walked straight to the main seat above. Seeing this, the family members also made way for the marquis.

The time was short, and everyone watched as the Marquis of Philippe sat on the main seat.

Marquis Philip, who was sitting on the main seat, looked down, the 50-year-old Marquis Philip, did not feel the joy of his children and grandchildren at all, his calm eyes and serious face, so that everyone could not guess what the marquis was thinking.

All the nobles of Charlotte thought that Marquis Philip led the army back to the royal capital at the last moment because of his love for the motherland, but who knew that all the family members of this marquis had been placed under house arrest in the royal capital of Otis City half a year ago.

Marquis Philip, a businessman who has been in business all his life, how could he put his life to life in his old age.

The Marquis of Philip was a prodigal lover when he was young, especially in his twenties, and the heirs of the other two marquis' families had already shown their own talents, only the Marquis of Philip was nostalgic for the flower shop and various noblewomen every day, and he was infected with countless bad relationships. There are so many children and grandchildren here, most of them are because of the abuse at that time.

The children and grandchildren in the hall all quietly looked at their father and grandfather, Marquis Philip, although the marquis was abusive, but he was still very good to his bloodline, whether it was a concubine or a concubine, they all arranged a way out.

"Eight days later, Faustin's army will attack the city. "The Marquis of Philip made a shocking revelation that all the nobles, including the king, did not know.

Everyone looked stunned, and when there was a sign of a quarrel in the hall, Marquis Philip suppressed it, and his voice fell silent again.

"Pack up and prepare, and then go your own way. After the Marquis Philip finished speaking, it was as if all the strength of his body had been drained. Ignoring the crowd below with different expressions, Marquis Philip left the hall.

Why could he know such secret information, and why could he know that the Marquis Campbell was actually the illegitimate son of the king, because he was Charlotte's 'God of Wealth'! Because he had an intelligence network that traversed all industries and regions of Charlotte.

Maybe there are too many children, so that the love that Marquis Philip scattered to each child is a lot thinner, most of his children don't have much family affection for him, more awe, he knows only a few children, every time he greets him, greetings are from the heart.

"Grace and Christine must have arrived in Karaman. The Marquis de Philip lay in a rocking chair in his study, squinting at the horizon. Daughter Grace and granddaughter Christine are one of the few favorite children of the old man, so Marquis Philip spent a few months ago to send a small force to secretly send the two out without attracting the attention of the royal family.

A meteor streaked by, and Marquis Philip closed his eyes.

"What! Siege on the fourth day after the New Year?" Locke looked at Angelina in front of him in surprise.

Angelina didn't speak, just nodded calmly.

Since she had looked for Locke last time, she had found another opportunity to find Locke this time. The young Princess Angelina enjoyed the time the two spent together. The reason for this visit was to invite Locke to the 'New Year's party' held by the nobles in the barracks.

As the princess's 'savior', under the strong recommendation of Princess Angelina, Locke, a commoner, also had the opportunity to participate in a party that only belonged to the upper nobles.

Of course, don't think about it so well, Locke probably won't get along with real big people, such as Prince Kensel and Marquis Marques, etc., most likely he will mix with a bunch of viscounts and earls. Angelina had just given Locke a vaccination.

Locke doesn't care, he doesn't even want to go to the nobles' party, except for being able to eat something good and listen to some gossip, Locke can't do anything, he would rather be with Xia Qian, Grace and others on New Year's Day, barbecue, chat, and watch the moon.

But Angelina's kindness, Locke couldn't bear to refuse, besides, how could he, a first-class soldier in the barracks, be qualified to refuse Angelina at the level of the commander of the corps, of course, this is a joke. As in the first meeting, Angelina never showed the arrogance of being an aristocrat in front of Locke.

There are only three days left before the New Year, and the soldiers still have not received combat missions, and the above is just asking each regiment to step up training. This is nothing for veterans, in the past few years, they have come over like this.

Wiping his sword, Locke had both anticipation and resistance to the coming war. Although Locke is warlike, he does not kill, he is belligerent because of four consecutive years of military life, Locke dedicated a large part of his youth to the battlefield, and he is a little uncomfortable without fighting for so long.

The long sword in his hand was exchanged by Locke with a large contribution, and along with it was a pair of exquisite full-body armor.

The raw materials of the long sword and armor are said to be made of 'Ming Iron Ore', its hardness is no less than steel, and the most important thing is that it is lightweight, although Locke has a fighting spirit, he is not a strong man like Hans after all, and the light weight of the equipment can make his burden a little less.

The blessing of two powerful pieces of equipment has increased Locke's strength by more than one notch.

Angelina didn't think it was enough, and according to her original idea, she would give Locke a full set, including boots and a cape. Listen to Locke's head full of black lines, and a cloak... If he didn't die fast enough, he could have worn such a sassy bag.

Locke, who has lived on the battlefield for four years, knows that the higher the profile, the faster he will die, and now he is only changing his weapons and armor, which is very special compared to other squadron leaders, and if he is changed, the Charlotte soldiers must not regard him as a corps commander of any level.

Imagine a group of Charlotte soldiers rushing at him, and Locke's scalp tingles. He was only a low-ranking squire, not like the other corps commanders, who had at least the strength of a high-ranking squire. What's more, every corps commander has at least one personal guard around him.

Angelina was a little disappointed, but how Locke decided, she didn't plan to interfere too much.

"Is the military merit enough?" said Angelina, as if remembering something, to Locke, "not enough, I'll give you some more." ”

When Locke heard this, he felt dizzy. His military merits are 10,000 points, and the exchange of two pieces of equipment only costs 3,000, and there is a huge amount of 7,000 left, you know, the exchange of a knight's noble title only requires 5,000 military merits, that is to say, without the promise of Prince Kensale, he can also exchange his military merits for a noble title after the end of the Locke War.

The two pieces of equipment are worth half a noble title, which also reflects the extraordinary performance of these two pieces of equipment from the side. There is no war yet, and Locke will not realize it, but he believes that when the war begins, his two companions will not let him down.

Angelina's military exploits are limited every month, and recently her next month's military exploits have just arrived, so she can't wait to share them with Locke, of course, this time there are not as many as last time, and Angelina's own military merits that can be distributed in a month are only two or three thousand.

The reason why she can give Locke so indifferently is, of course, because Angelina, as the princess of the Faustin Kingdom, the sister of Prince Kensel, and the pearl of the king's palm, does not lack any equipment at all. Almost as much as you want.

Locke also learned from Angelina that she now has a magic treasure on her body, which can withstand the full force of a peak attendant or high-level magic, which can be regarded as a treasure in the palace treasury. This was sent by King Faustin some time ago.

His Majesty's love for Princess Angelina is evident.

"I'm coming the day after tomorrow!" Angelina waved goodbye to Locke. She was limited in the amount of time she could spend here with Locke, and she always stayed for a while and left, so as not to arouse suspicion from others.
