Blue Sword

The Norman lords immediately applauded and looked at Roger softly.

The officer corps was silent, and their attitude trend was already obvious.

They were not opposed to sending troops, but they were opposed to Robert leading the troops. Who doesn’t know that this demigod has a very bad relationship with Sir William? If you stand in line and go to the opposite side without the permission of the leader, it will be fatal to be held accountable later.

However, it was another matter when Roger, designated as his heir by His Excellency William, appeared. Although the Norman extraordinary people did not understand what "Prince Supervising the Country" meant, they still knew that with Roger's endorsement, they would not be responsible for any blame in the future, so they all stopped and kept silent.

On the other side, in a hotel on the outskirts of Catania, Mier and Medea also watched the "video" of the meeting of the Hauteville family online through the secret connection of manipulating the rules.

"You actually thought of breaking through this guy named Roger..." Mi'er was a little surprised, but also admired, "It's really amazing."

"Mi'er, what devils like us are best at is taking advantage of people's desires or ambitions." Medea said confidently, "For any organization, the upper levels have limited desires with high authority, while the lower levels have ambitions and insufficient strength. Like The role of the heir to this kind of organization is just one step away from the top position, and he has enough power and destructive power, so he is the best at manipulation."

"Then why did you expect that he would support sending troops?" Mi'er asked curiously and humbly.

"Of course it's because he also needs to consolidate his identity as the 'heir'." Medea said leisurely, "In the extraordinary Norman family, military merit is the most effective source of prestige, and prestige is directly related to status. It is rare for a family patriarch to Not within the clan, how could he miss this perfect opportunity to establish his prestige?"

"In this case, when the demigod William comes back, won't he be angry with Roger because of this?" Mi'er still had questions.

"Why are you angry?" Medea smiled slyly, "As long as the subsequent war is won, it will be enough to prove that Roger has the ability and means to become the leader of the family. In addition, William's status as a demigod is unshakable, so what reason does he have? Are you afraid that your heir will be too outstanding?"

Miss Succubus raised two fingers and shook them frivolously and proudly: "It's like we planned such a big plan without telling Aske. Even if he noticed the clues, didn't he blame us?"

"After all, on the one hand, we are still doing things for the collective interests of the team." Mi'er said thoughtfully, "On the other hand, his status in the team comes from his own combat strength and experience, so our private Planning does not compromise his leadership of the team."

"That's why he semi-publicly acquiesced and even encouraged us to make these plans." Medea laughed happily, "In this way, we can have a certain amount of initiative."

"As expected of Medea, she can actually calculate people's hearts to this extent." Mi'er complimented.

"Without your ability to see destiny, our plan would not have gone so smoothly." Medea immediately responded.

The two girls talked about each other's business for a long time. On the surface, they were more and more sympathetic to each other, and they were full of oranges, as if they had met the best best friends in their lives.

Just when the atmosphere was harmonious, Mi'er's expression suddenly changed slightly.

Medea quickly noticed her strangeness and couldn't help but frown and asked:

"What's wrong?"

Mier:…………

Her lips opened slightly, as if she had taken several breaths of cold air, and she lowered her voice and exclaimed:

"Black Swan!"

————————

Medea's analysis of the Hauteville family seems to have nothing wrong with it.

As the current heir of the family, Roger urgently needs a personally directed victory to gain the prestige to consolidate his position as heir.

However, this matter cannot be brought up by himself, otherwise it will appear that the demigod William is absent and he can't wait to jump out and try to dominate the family. This will give people the impression of being too eager and affect his own political image.

On the other hand, if Robert, the demigod, proposed it with "malintentions" and Roger took over the leadership of the army in order to prevent the other party from "stealing the class and power", then there would be no problem.

Of course, in order to perform a complete performance, Robert had to put on the airs of a demigod, pretending to compete with Roger displeasedly, and finally "unwilling to lose."

Then Roger led the Norman supernatural army to Catania to counter the rebellion, and was ambushed and eaten by the well-prepared guerrillas led by Medea and Mel.

As a result, Roger, the heir to the Hauteville family, died in battle, and the officer corps supporting the demigod William was greatly weakened. Robert could implement his own plan and quickly win over the wavering lord faction within the family, thereby gaining the authority to challenge William. Capital.

Afterwards, when William came back from the outside, the two demigods immediately broke up and fought with each other, fighting to the death for the position of the patriarch of the Hauteville family. As Robert's daughter, Hidliefa naturally became enemies with William, so she could naturally complete her ritual mission.

This was the outline of the plan made by Medea. Of course, there were many details in it, but she did not go into details with Mi'er.

For example, how to convince Robert to agree to this plan? Medea's approach was to meet the demigod privately and cleverly reveal the existence of the Blue Sword.

If Robert had investigated this mercenary group, he would have known that there is a vague connection between the Blue Sword and many demigods on the mainland. As long as he follows this plan, breaks with the demigod William and goes to war, the Blue Sword will definitely be on his side for Sidrifa.

This, additional demigod aid, Sir Robert, you know, so feel free to break with your brother.

This plan doesn't sound too problematic as a whole. The specific details are controlled by Medea personally, and Mi'er observes the future line to control risks. It has indeed been successful in most future worlds.

Just "mostly".

At this time, the world line is collapsing in a future direction that has a very low probability and has never been observed by Mier. Due to small disturbances of some unknown variables, things begin to deviate from Medea's original design.

This phenomenon is called a "black swan".

In the Normandy palace, regarding Roger's initiative, Robert showed some displeasure at being offended and despised, just like the plan he had discussed with Medea at the beginning, and said:

"Roger, I can understand your eagerness to think about your family, but the Sicilian guerrillas are not that easy to deal with. You neither have relevant intelligence about the enemy nor have enough military experience to deal with unknown changes, so you rashly lead troops forward. You might suffer a big loss if you go.”

So the high-ranking Norman knights present all started making noises, saying, "Your Excellency Robert is too worried," "Roger was taught by His Excellency William himself, so there must be no problem with his ability," etc., and they almost didn't write in front of Roger, "I I am your loyal minister".

However, Roger did not refute as fiercely as he expected, nor did he defend himself calmly. The young man just thought for a moment and then smiled again:

"Uncle Robert is right. How about you go with me to suppress the bandits?"

Go together to suppress the bandits? Robert was confused for a moment. Are you giving me half of the chance to gain prestige in battle?

Of course, knowing the truth of the matter, he knew that this was not an opportunity at all, but an insidious trap. But now that Roger is here, I can certainly agree to it and follow to ensure that he and the officer corps are eliminated by the trap set by the Blue Sword. This is an extra layer of insurance...

Just as he was thinking about this, he heard Roger continue:

"There's another thing. I admire your daughter Hidrifa very much. Her beauty and strength amaze me. I wonder if my uncle has arranged a marriage for her?"

"If not, can you consider me?"
