It has been three days since Meli went to Bordeaux to perform a mission.

The Duke of Aquitaine is fine. The Duke of Aquitaine is fine, either.

Every day, the servants in Versailles could see him walking in the palace with red faces.

And Meli lost all the news.

And Alfred's face became worse day by day because of this.

The British knights were very afraid of this situation. In the past few years, when Meli was sleeping, their Knight King became much more violent. Now Alfred is just like that time. When he was free, he sat on a chair without moving, but the vicious look in his eyes made people feel that he would draw his sword to the Palace of Versailles anytime and anywhere.

Two more days passed. Alfred received a message from Ella:

"According to Dust's information, not long ago, in a small town southwest of Paris, someone witnessed the fall of the dragon. Judging from the current situation, the plan to kill Coul has been confirmed to have failed. I have sent people to search Melis's specific whereabouts. Please return without attracting Paris's attention and further discussion."

Alfred, who received the message, stood up from his chair. He drew out the sword from his waist and smashed it hard into the ground.

"Crodith!"

A low roar came from his throat, with twelve points of anger.

"Get all the knights together!"

He issued an order with great momentum, as if the next moment he would lead thousands of troops to attack the enemy.

"--No."

His feet stepped into the soil hard, pausing his body, along with his anger.

“I can’t make the same mistake twice.”

As he said this, he pulled up the sword on the ground and cut his wrist open in an instant.

Under his gaze, the wound on his wrist slowly healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Merry is still alive." He raised his head and breathed a long sigh, "Let the knights stay the same, do whatever they should do. Tomorrow I will ask the Duke of Aquitaine to see if there are any suitable hunting places nearby."

--"hunt?"

The Duke of Aquitaine, who heard this question, just laughed "hehe":

"Of course there are. There are many lords in Paris who do not serve in the central government, but do not take care of their own territory, and stay here and do idle every day. They often go out to hunt for fun in their spare time."

Before all the negotiations of the alliance were over, Alfred was still stranded in Paris and refused to leave. The Duke of Aquitaine's words were somewhat sarcastic.

"But now is not a good time to hunt." The Duke of Aquitaine added, "The Black Death, the Rebels and other things have caused chaos in the surrounding security. I just received news that a group of powerful thieves appeared outside the city of Paris, and many caravans have been attacked. I am worried that you will be captured by them, and by then, I am afraid that a large amount of ransom in Britain will be consumed."

"I'm already bored in Paris." Alfrey responded, "It's just right that there are thieves, and it's also a bit of fun to use these thieves as prey."

"People say that the Knight King is brave and powerful, which is indeed extraordinary." The Duke of Aquitaine patted Alfred's shoulder with a smile, "Be careful. At the ceremony of my inauguration, I am still waiting for you as a guest of honor. If the King of Unified Britain is not present, all the lords who attended the meeting will feel regretful."

"Of course." Alfred responded with the same smile, "Everyone is an alliance. Next time your daughter and Hestein get married, don't forget to invite me over and have a drink."

The plan to leave the city was decided. The next morning, Alfred hurriedly left Paris with ten knights, bows and arrows, and horses.

Of course, on the way, he was not harassed by that guy "thief".

After rushing back to Ella's barracks like this, Alfred found that in addition to the peasants, there were also some elite knights and a large number of armored soldiers in the camp.

The farmers were lined up to receive the most basic spears and wooden shields from these soldiers.

"Alfred, you are back just in time. Let me introduce you to you. This is the son of the Duke of Normandy." Ella excitedly brought a young noble to Alfred. "The Duke of Normandy was assassinated by the Duke of Aquitaine not long ago. He was ordered by the Duke of Aquitaine to be assassinated. He was still unable to ride a horse to fight now. I asked someone to send him a letter. After he learned about the situation, he immediately asked his son to bring his army to support us. Although it was not convenient for him to mobilize and recruit soldiers at this time, so there were not many people coming, but we were finally not short of weapons."

Alfred was not thinking here. After shaking hands with the son of the Duke of Normandy, he hurriedly asked Ella: "Is there any further news about Meli?"

As soon as Alfred talked about this, Ella's face turned a little mute: "Not yet. I have not received any news about Mellie since Dust's information."

Alfred took a deep breath.

"It's okay," he said, "No news is the best news. But Scipio, this plan failed, what should we do next?"

Seeing that Alfred was still calm, Ella breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'll confirm it first," she said, "Crodith has drunk that potion, right?"

"Yes." Alfred nodded, "I saw it with my own eyes."

"Then the plan is not a failure - I had already made plans to defeat the Duke of Aquitaine on the front battlefield. Kur did not die, but just lost a shortcut. As long as I die on the battlefield, Kur's life will still be exhausted."

After a little stunned, Alfred nodded:

"If that happens, I'll help, too." He said, "I have some subordinates stranded in the city. I'll let them come out and meet you."

"No—that would just alert the snake. Alfred, did you hear rumors about my army when you were in Paris?"

After thinking a little, Alfred shook his head: "No. There is indeed rumors about another rebel army, but that was also the news when Paris was besieged a long time ago. Now they should still regard this army as the rebel army gathered against the Count of Ile-de-France because of the Black Death."

"This is our greatest advantage. Before the final battle, we cannot easily expose it." Ella said, "So Alfred, can you work hard for you and go back to Paris?"

"What else can I do when I go back to Paris now?"
