Chapter 23: Step by step (2)

The Count of Ile-de-France snorted coldly: "Put me a tall hat? If you want me to take it lightly, you should give up this plan."

"I am sincere," said Alfred. "Just with the words you just said, you are much better than the great Duke of Aquitaine, and have a little bit of the demeanor of us Britons."

"Who is Britons? You are Britons! Your whole family is British!" The Count of Ile-de-France cursed and waved his hand at the swordsmen, "The movement of moving the car is quick. These British people can disappear for a second or a second! If you have been with them for a long time, you will be infected with British syndrome!"

After parting with the Count of Ile de France and his group, Paris appeared in front of Alfred and his group.

“Are you ready?”

Alfred commanded the knights behind him with a serious expression.

"From the moment you enter the door, the battle will begin."

It has been a month since Alfred came to Paris. He came before in the name of inspecting the Church of Abraham and did not cause any sensation. Paris is the political center of the Almany Federation. There are many nobles coming and going. Those great lords, no matter which one comes, they have a big show when they come, and the citizens of Paris are already accustomed to it.

But this time, Alfred intended to attract the attention of the citizens. In addition to the extremely eye-catching decorations of the knights and horses, as soon as he entered the door, the entourages blew the sound of trumpets and drums. The huge movement immediately attracted the attention of the citizens.

"The Knights of Britain are here to form an alliance with the Federation of Almany!"

The entourages showered flowers to the side of the road.

"The Knight King decided to convert to the Church of Abraham with the Federation of Almany!"

“There will be no more war!”

"No need to guess each other anymore!"

"From now on, everyone will be brothers and sisters from the same church!"

...

"King King, we are really here to form an alliance, right?" A knight whispered behind Alfred with a embarrassed expression, "But why does this formation feel like you are here to propose marriage?"

“It makes sense!”

Alfred looked like he suddenly realized. Then, he suddenly raised his hand high and waved to the citizens beside him: "Everyone, I am here to propose marriage today! From now on, Britain and the Allemany Federation will be relatives! Welcome to visit us in Britain at any time!"

In response to his voice, the entourages once again sprinkled flowers to the side of the road. A burst of cheers broke out in the crowd.

The Duke of Aquitaine had long received news that Alfred was coming to visit. However, the Duke of Aquitaine knew nothing about the two things of "alliance" and "proposing marriage". When Alfred was wandering on the street with great fanfare, he was participating in an important meeting to elect the new consul. Due to the regaining of the Duke of Anglia, he successfully received four of the seven candidates. In fact, from this moment on, he was already the consul of the Federation of Almany.

"Now, no one can stop my army." He showed off his ambitions to the candidates in the meeting. "After Anglia, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, after I became the consul, all the humiliation we suffered will be doubled for the enemy to return!"

"Arrogant!" The old lord who opposed it shouted loudly, "Don't forget that even Ragna Lodbrok was defeated by the current heroes and Swedish kings. It would be too late for you to regret it when you provoke them to send troops!"

"King of Heroes?"

The Duke of Aquitaine smiled disdainfully:

"He is now obediently executing my order to take the head of the King of Sweden!"

The news from Alfred reached the Duke of Aquitaine at this time.

"What? The Knights of Britain are going to form an alliance with us? And want to propose marriage to my daughter?"

The Duke of Aquitaine breathed, blowing his beard trembling.

"I'm just this daughter, he's so beautiful!"

"Duke of Aquitaine?" asked a candidate in confusion, "Didn't your daughter have already had a engagement? I remember that you held a martial arts competition in Paris not long ago to invite your daughter to marry."

"What are you talking nonsense?" Duke Aquitaine glared at him, "When did I hold a martial arts competition?"

"I didn't talk nonsense...everyone in the city knows."

Two candidates agreed and nodded, confusing the Duke of Aquitaine.

"Duke of Aquitaine," the old lord stared at him, "Britain is coming to the alliance, what are you going to do?"

Putting the doubts in his heart aside, the Duke of Aquitaine dressed.

"If you are willing to come and see, please come and see. I am not the weak Count of Ile de France, and I will also let the British see what great power diplomacy is!"

With a group of equally fully armed knights, five candidates, more than ten lords, and hundreds of good nobles, the Duke of Aquitaine met Alfred on the avenue outside Versailles.

Alfred manipulated the horses under him and walked step by step towards the Duke of Aquitaine with graceful steps.

"Duke of Aquitaine..."

"It's the consul of the Allemany Federation!"

Before Alfred finished speaking, the Duke of Aquitaine interrupted him:

"The election meeting has ended. I have become the legal consul of the Allemany Federation, not a 'duke'."

"So that's it." Alfred nodded, "Consul, I'm here this time, I want to..."

"Alliance is it? Yes!" The Duke of Aquitaine interrupted Alfred again, "The Almani Federation has been in the founding of hundreds of years, and has had many wars with the lords of the big and small on the island of Britain. Since you have unified Britain, you will compensate all the losses caused by these previous wars. In that case, I agree to form an alliance with you!"

Alfred frowned suddenly.

"Consul, this happened a long time ago. The war caused a lot of losses to both sides. Can we not ignore past grudges and turn war into jade?"

"Turn swords into jade and silk?"

The Duke of Aquitaine laughed. Then, he gave the knights beside him a wink. The knights understood it, drew their swords one after another, and committed suicide at their necks.

Then—Su Sheng slowly came back.

"Did you see it? My army already has a powerful force that you cannot defeat. Why should I turn wars with you into jade?"

Putting his head closer to Alfred, the Duke of Aquitaine said word by word:
