Chapter 159: Counter-Stratagem II
Charlie's destination this time is the port of Copper Mountain.
In fact, since Charlie came to Copperhill, he would go to the port a few times a day, saying that it was a walk, but in fact it was an observation of the ships.
He knew that in order to escape from Tongshan Town, it was most appropriate to take the waterway, from the Heishui River down the river, to reach Heishui Town, and then through the difficult Heiling Canyon, he could reach Buluo Fort.
This is Charlie's escape route.
Charlie has observed in recent days and found that the port of Copperhill is extremely loosely guarded, probably due to the construction of the fortress and the city wall, the port of Copperhill is almost unguarded, especially at night, the port is almost a no-man's land.
Charlie believes that this is the best time to escape.
Moreover, Charlie has recently discovered that there is a sudden addition of a small boat in the harbor, which adds another layer of concealment to his escape.
Of course, what Charlie doesn't know is that this is all arranged by Cross, and Cross just wants to create some flaws so that Charlie can escape by himself.
Only if he escapes on his own can Cross's plan truly succeed.
For, once he was let go, he was likely to be suspected when he reported the information to the king, they would doubt the authenticity of Charlie's escape, they would doubt whether Charlie was behind him, and in turn, they would not believe the information that Charles said at all.
Therefore, on this point, Cross can't do anything other than set up the conditions and environment for Charlie's escape.
......
Soon, Charlie was in port again.
It was only evening, and there was no one here, and the boat was still there.
Charlie took a deep breath and thought to himself: this opportunity won't last long, I must get out of here as soon as possible.
Just then, a familiar voice came from behind him.
"Charlie, are you really here, and you're going for a walk again?"
It was Lancelot who spoke.
Charlie was taken aback, "Oh, it's Lord Lancelot, are you here for a walk?"
"I'm not in that mood. ”
"What's going on? Is it still about the Kingdom of Seatta?"
"Alas......"
Lancelot sighed at Blackwater, and Charlie's heart was cold, it seemed that this time he would not get anything to gain.
"Have a drink with me, there are some things I can only say to you. ”
Lancelot's words lifted Charlie's spirits, and a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he straightened his collar and said, "Good!"
Charlie invited Lancelot to his house, and after taking out the wine, Lancelot drank with his head down.
"Lord Lancelot, is it really something related to the Kingdom of Seajarta?" asked Charlie impatiently.
"Alas......" Lancelot sighed again.
Probably because the drinking quickly warmed his body, Lancelot took off the leather armor on his upper body, and then continued to drink.
"You're going to get drunk if you drink like this, have you forgotten the lord's new rules and regulations?"
"It's good to be drunk! It's good to be drunk...... Goo-goo......"
Lancelot drank to himself, and Charlie was anxious: Didn't he just say that he had something to say to me......?
Charlie didn't give up, he knew that now was the best time to get information from Lancelot.
So, Charlie kept asking, and Lancelot, in addition to sighing, was saying something inconsequential, and more often, of course, was pouring wine. Lancelot seemed to really want to get drunk.
In this way, more than an hour passed, and Lancelot was drunk. He was completely on the table, still hiccuping from time to time.
"Alas......" Charlie sighed this time, he didn't get any information at all, and Lancelot was already drunk.
Charlie began to tidy up the table and draped Lancelot's leather armor over him, just as a roll of parchment fell out of the leather armor.
Charlie was stunned for a moment, then quickly picked up the parchment roll while sneaking a glance at Lancelot.
Driven by curiosity, he opened the parchment.
When he saw the first few words, he was so frightened that he put away the parchment.
Charlie realizes that this is a secret letter that Cross is preparing to contact Sephiroth.
At this moment, the rate of his heart began to beat faster, and the tension spread to every part of his body.
He glanced at Lancelot again, who was still lying motionless.
So, he cautiously ducked to the side and reopened the parchment roll.
After reading it, he was taken aback.
Sure enough, it was Cross's secret letter to Sephiroth.
Cross first congratulated Sephiroth on the capture of the Borean Fortress in a letter and advised him to continue the attack on Reinhardt.
Clos himself would attack Norman City directly from the Blackwater River in five days' time.
Cross agreed to join Sephiroth at the Castle of Nyorath in 10 days and launch a surprise attack on the Kingdom of Seyata together.
Charlie finally got this vital piece of information.
Moreover, he was convinced of the fact that Cross and Sephiroth had secretly united.
Because, if they hadn't united, then Cross would simply not have been able to get the military intelligence that Sephiroth had captured the fortress of the Borean in such a short time.
And it is precisely because the alliance between the two parties has become a fact that the content of this secret letter is absolutely true.
Sephiroth is going to invade the kingdom of Seatta together with Cross!
Charlie put away the parchment and hid it inside his clothes, he could and must leave now.
He didn't want to see the kingdom of Seatta doomed, and he could take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of Sephiroth.
If Charlie completes this, then he may be made a duke, and then he can have a carefree life for the rest of his life.
He brought some water and dry food and prepared to go.
Before leaving the house, he glanced back at Rustlot and whispered to himself, "Young man, I can understand your pain at last, no wonder you are drunk."
But I will not let our kingdom fall like this. ”
With that, Charlie snatched the door out.
It was already night, and the people of Copperhill were already preparing dinner at home, and in this way, Charlie escaped from Copperhill in a small boat.
......
"Lancelot, don't pretend to be drunk, he's gone. ”
Lancelot looked up and saw that it was Cross, who immediately rubbed his hair and came to his senses.
"Did he take the parchment with him?"
"Yes, my lord. ”
"Very well, as long as he returns safely to the royal capital of the Kingdom of Seyada, Sephiroth will definitely withdraw. Cross's eyes showed great confidence, and he was confident about this reversal.
And Lancelot also admired Cross's action.
