"Eh!" Edward looked at the big man who led the spy department speechlessly, and was also drunk with his stinginess.

"Then, let's just wait! Let's watch this good show when they are about to finish playing!"

Edward turned his head, ignored the boring Guy Ham, and walked into his carriage boredly, lying on the comfortable Persian blanket, his nerves relaxed a lot.

Ten days ago, 5,000 mercenaries, 2,000 noble private soldiers, and 3,000 guards came with the king.

Since Dumfries-Gavery County is adjacent to England, Edward has been staying in York City to wait and see what happens.

Originally, Edward planned to wait for the Scottish riots before mobilizing the army.

However, this good show was gone, which could not satisfy the curiosity in his heart.

To be honest, including the decades in his previous life and this life, he hasn't really seen a war in the sixteenth century.

The last time he came to Scotland, he just came to Edinburgh with a smooth journey, enjoying the fruits of victory directly. He couldn't feel the smoke of war at all. up.

This time is a good opportunity, from a few miles away, to watch this sixteenth-century battle, and then go back and wait for the opportunity.

Originally watching this ancient battle scene, Edward was actually a little bit excited, but after watching it for more than ten minutes, the troops were hacking at each other, and there was no battle at all.

Thousands of people hacked at each other. It seemed like a big scene, but it was just like that. After a while, Edward got bored.

If it wasn't for knowing the result, he would have gone back a long time ago.

Thinking of today's futile escape, Edward slowly fell asleep.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty—" In a daze, a call came from Edward's ear.

Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Edward gave a soft acknowledgment, straightened his clothes and hair, got up and got out of the car.

"Your Majesty, this battle is over!"

With a smile on his face, Guy said in a deep voice.

Guy has always been worried about His Majesty the King leaving the large army privately to watch the battle secretly. This is in Scotland and it is extremely dangerous.

Simply, this battle is over, it's time to go back.

Looking at the joyous Guy, Edward also had helplessness on his face, so he could only ask:

"Which side won?"

"It's the church side, but their losses are quite heavy, and Baron Danfries also ran away!"

Saying that, Guy also looked emotional.

For the nobles, he was born with a good impression, and of course he supported the nobles in his heart.

Hearing this, Edward curled his lips and sneered softly: "Hehe! This is what I want. Whether it's the nobles winning or the church winning, it's all what I want. The more chaos the better!"

"Let's go! It's time for us to go back, let them Scots play slowly!"

Edward glanced at the gradually calming battlefield in the distance, boarded the carriage, uttered a word, and entered the carriage directly.

Guy shook his head, led the whole team, jumped on the horse, then approached the carriage, and started walking towards England.

Hundreds of people came and went quietly without leaving a trace.

At this time, in Danfries Cathedral, under the portrait of the benevolent Virgin Mary and Child playing, Russell's face was ashen, and he was in a bad mood.

And Bishop Hobbs had a smile on his face, and he was in a very good mood!

"Russell, today is such a good day!"

Hobbs said to Russell excitedly.

"Hehe! This victory is really hard to come by! But, next, I'm afraid it will be hard to say!"

There was a cold light in Russell's eyes, but blood was dripping from his heart.

These are all hired by him, and they are also one of his important trump cards. Isn't it heartbreaking to lose them so soon?

There were three thousand people, nearly two thousand were killed and injured, and the remaining one thousand people were also slightly injured, and lost the belief in fighting again, and were also abolished.

"What did you say? This matter is not over yet?"

Hobbs listened, and asked in surprise, with a terrified expression.

"Yes, the 4,000 people supporting Baron Danfries this time, almost all of them were armed, and there were even hundreds of cavalry. This is not the support that ordinary low-level nobles can obtain!"

"So, this time, only the group of people in Edinburgh are left!"

Russell looked at the front seriously, but kept talking, as if it was a normal thing.

"Are you talking about the four major families?"

It was said that Hobbs's face was covered with fine cold sweat, and the news frightened him.

In Scotland, not even the royal family can compete with the four major families, and even the archbishop of the Scottish diocese is held by David Beaton, one of the four major families. It is conceivable how powerful they are.

"Hehe! More than that!" Russell looked at Bishop Hobbs' panic, and continued: "There are other nobles, they have joined forces and are preparing to take us down in one fell swoop. We are in real danger!"

Russell said in an unprecedented serious tone, and his whole body tensed up.

If you say you're not worried or afraid, that's a lie.

He was originally a businessman at best. Although his wealth and reputation in Scotland were still very high, compared with the four big families, that was nothing.

It was the first time he faced the four major families like this, and he was more afraid than happy.

Bishop Hobbs turned pale with fright, and his legs trembled.

…………

Sure enough, three days later, in Edinburgh, the four major families headed by the ruling Earl of Allen made a formal speech in the parliament, denouncing the rebellion of the Dumfries Cathedral, and they also denounced the bad behavior of some local churches against the king's order.

As soon as this remark was made, it directly brought an end to Scotland's original cannibalization policy of boiled frogs in warm water. What came from it was the direct and strong push strategy of the nobles.

Perhaps, the devoured fruit has whetted the appetites of the nobles, and the hungry wolf that tasted the blood has already opened its bloody mouth and started to eat desperately.

And the church side is not easy to mess with.

Although the scolding order sent by Rome was sent to London by the nobles, the churches in other places are finally choosing to unite.

The church took advantage of the money and recruited a lot of soldiers.

Soon, their army swelled up like a balloon, leaping to the level of 10,000 people at an astonishing speed, and it was still growing.

And the nobles were not to be outdone, they prepared vigorously, and the number of people rushed to catch up.

Finally, after nearly ten days, the nobles and the church each supported more than 20,000 soldiers, and a drama no less than the War of the Roses began.
