vs 36 The king's affection
Pedi took the information from Danmen Green, who continued: "And... The investigation into the Harrance Provincial smuggling case has some eyebrows..."
He said very conservatively, "After you left the royal capital, some people took the opportunity to sell the goods in their hands, and they were caught by the Northern General Administration for some clues... And according to your orders, the military intelligence department secretly followed this clue to find out a supply chain and smuggling channel from top to bottom, and also found some people. β
"Your report is like a horse that farts after eating soybeans, smelly and long... Say it matters!" Pedy was clearly uninterested in Danmen Green's nonsense.
"A large proportion of these people identified were members of the royal family, and there is more direct evidence that Lady Saviara was directly involved in the smuggling of Harrence Collar in the early stage. Danmen Green had to bite the bullet and report dryly.
"What about the assassination of Seck Marne?" asked Pedi through gritted teeth, although this case could no longer be reversed on the surface, Pedi would not let go of those who blatantly challenged his royal power.
"Viscount Jersey Marne is the mastermind and Edwin Filmin is the executor. β
"How did the two of them come together?" Pedi frowned, "and... It's so close. β
"After the kingdom's trade reform, Cowin Leader naturally didn't want to let go of such a good opportunity to make money, so they found Edwin Film, who was in charge of the reform at the time..."
"My mother, what role does it play between the two of them?" asked Pedi the answer he wanted to know most.
"The old lady just wanted to support Her Royal Highness Penny at first, and the Viscount of Marne used your nephew as a bargaining chip to make some deals with the old lady. Danmen Green wanted to say Baron Aemond's role in the deal, but after thinking about it, he hid it.
"I'd love to hang that old fellow's head on the walls of Fort Kaval. "Pedi's cold language made Danmen Green bury his head even lower, and the 'old fellow' in his mouth was naturally Zerodin Marne, but he could only say that, because Zerodin Marne had voluntarily removed his title, and more importantly, the kingdom needed a long period of stability after this noble rebellion.
"Mother... Was he involved in the assassination plot?" asked Pedi with a slight tremor in his words.
"No!" replied Danmen Green decisively, "the old lady had already disconnected from them after the stabbing of Seke Marat, but some things weren't..."
"I see," Pedi didn't want to listen any longer, he interrupted Danmen-Green and asked, "Penny?"
Danmen Green took an imperceptible step back at the moment, "We can only prove that the forces of the Suker Plains were involved, and Otwood has also been shown to have some memories altered by the agents of the Suke Plains... There is no way to find out if this matter is directly related to Her Highness Penny. β
Pedi chuckled at Danmen-Green's answer, turned his head to stare at Danmen-Green with his head buried in his chest for a few moments, and then took a few steps forward and walked to a darker place, letting the cold wind of the night blow on his slightly hot body, suppressing the nameless anger in his heart.
On the battlefield in the distance ahead, rows and rows of 'illuminations' rose into the air to confront the darkness, the earth-shattering shouts of killing filled the vibration and shook the eardrums continuously, the screams of the undead tortured the heart, and the battlefield scouts and heralds still shuttled through the camp to convey the information ahead.
Although Pedi's gaze was on the battlefield, his gaze was sloppy and numb.
After nearly ten minutes of silence, Pedi turned his head to look at Danmen Green, who immediately walked up to him.
"I have already handed over the affairs of the royal capital to Her Majesty the Queen, what is her attitude?" asked Pei Di.
"Her Majesty the Queen has authorized Baron Hannina to arrest everyone on the list except for members of the royal family. Danmen-Grimm replied cautiously, "And the members of the royal family, the queen intends to exile them to the residence of the foreign affairs departments of various countries in the name of sending military attachΓ©s. β
"Also... Her Majesty the Queen is plotting to infiltrate the Suker Plains Council. β
"Just do as Her Majesty the Queen wants. Pedi pointed at Danmen Green, "Don't report this kind of thing in the future, just follow the queen's orders... Also, there's nothing for you to do here, so go back to the royal capital. β
"Yes. Danmen Green replied humbly, although he knew that this was the result, but he still couldn't help but be gloomy.
After Danmen Green left, Pedy's mind was suddenly filled with a sense of boredom that made him lose interest in everything around him, and he didn't even want to care about the battle going on in front of him.
"I need to take a break. In the cold wind, a strong sense of sleepiness struck him, and Pedi gave a word to the captain of the guard, and went to the bench covered with a plush blanket by the campfire on the command podium and lay down.
It didn't take long for Pedi to fall asleep to the earth-shattering shouts of killing.
As if he had slept for a long time, and as if he had just laid down, Pedi felt someone calling to him.
He opened his eyes, and the slightly dazzling light made him subconsciously block his eyes, and the familiar voice of Willie Jon came from his ears: "Your Majesty, General Lundin Reagan has sent a message that everything is ready, and asks if it is according to the original plan..."
"What time is it?" said Pedy, looking at the already bright sky.
"Ten o'clock in the morning!"
Pedi was visibly surprised by the captain's answer, for he felt as if he had only slept for half an hour, and the light on the horizon made him feel like he was in a dream.
As soon as he got up and left the bench, Pedi felt a soreness spread all over his body, a sequelae of sleeping in armor, but he was used to it to ignore.
In the lookout box, a large area near the main gate of the 'Death Fortress' on the opposite side has been occupied by the 1st Infantry Army, the defensive shields in the nearby area have also been broken, and the offensive on the left and right flanks is also constantly strengthening.
"There are four evil altars in the area of the city gate, one more than we have detected, and the orc brigade has paid for the lives of two hundred soldiers, and the First Army has also lost nearly a thousand. Willie Jon was on the sidelines as he gave a brief report on the course of last night's war.
"What about the Paladin Legion?" Pedi ordered.
"It's already ready, just waiting for your order. β
"Then attack as planned... Send an order to General Lendin Reagan that everything inside the Death Fortress must be destroyed, completely destroyed. β
...
At the station of the mage tower in the camp, Wolf Ma, who had just rested for three hours after returning to the camp, was woken up again and followed the large army here. He watched indifferently as the nearby paladins crossed the teleportation array, watching as the tall magical puppet was devoured by elemental power.
"Check the equipment, what we are about to fight next is a fierce battle!" Vice Captain Mo Gao reminded the surrounding orc warriors in a loud voice, "The beast god will guide us to win this victory, and the death force that ravages our homeland is destined to be expelled by our own hands." β
After Mo Gao shouted these words, he glanced at Wolf Ma, who was standing at the edge of the teleportation array a little far away from him, and after checking the equipment of the warriors, he leaned over silently.
"Your father is not wrong, the future will belong to us. β
"Yes, the future is destined to belong to us, and no one can stop it!"
"Why should you refuse to serve as the Secretary General of Your Majesty, you should learn from your father and learn how to fight for our future with wisdom. β
"I didn't refuse, I just wanted to finish what I had to do, like this war..."
As the two spoke, a middle-aged mage in soft armor flashed to Wolf Mar's side with great speed, "Sir, it's your turn... Good luck. As he spoke, he pointed to a glowing teleportation circle, "Remember, don't have too many thoughts during the teleportation process, otherwise it will affect the reading and writing of the circle." β
"I know what to do!" It was not the first time that Wolf Ma had stepped into the teleportation array, so he walked directly and quickly towards the teleportation circle that had been activated, ignoring the wry smile of Mo Gao next to him.
"He's always been like this... Is there no one in your eyes?" the middle-aged mage didn't look very angry, he looked at Mo Gao and asked, "How can you stand him?"
Mo Gao glanced at the wolf horse who was about to step into the magic circle, shrugged his shoulders and said, "This is how we orcs communicate, I thought you knew. With that, he picked up the shield on his back, held the axe, and shouted to the orc warriors behind him, "Follow me!"
The feeling of dizziness and vomiting after space travel made Wolf Ma stumble a little, and after he tried to take two steps forward, his arm was suddenly grabbed by a person next to him, and when he subconsciously wanted to shake it off, the other party's question came from his ear: "Is it Sir Wolf Ma?"
Wolf Ma turned his head and saw a knight covered in blood, behind this knight was the fire of war and the smoke of gunpowder, countless soldiers swayed behind him, and the army of death not far away was attacking the front line of the kingdom's army.
The knight lifted his visor, "My name is Brooke, Brooke Mancy, Chief of Staff of the First Army, and now I am in charge of this place for the time being..."
Accustomed to the noise of the battlefield and the screams of the undead, Wolfma looked at Brooke's hand, which was the flank of the Paladin's Legion, a regular infantry corps fighting the army of death.
"I understand, sir!" replied Wolfmar in a loud voice, so firm that Brooke couldn't help but look at him twice.
"I'm waiting for good news for you, sir. Brooke smiled and patted Wolfmar on the shoulder as he did with any of his men, and with that said, he lowered his armor and walked towards the other warband.
"I don't want to experience that again. At the same time as the magic array beside him lit up, Mo Gao's voice came.
"Gather the soldiers, and we will all be bathed in the flames of war before dark. "Wolf Ma is acting very serious at the moment.
...
Town of Tyre,
After Penny's daily routine, the commander-in-chief, Karene Sibo, remains.
"Our plan of destruction within the Kingdom of Kruria has failed. Penny's words were clear in the empty meeting, and the slight echo seemed to mock her incompetence.
"Isn't that expected?" Karen-Sibo didn't seem surprised, "If King Pedi was so easy to deal with, it wouldn't be as powerful as the Krurians are now. β
"I have one more message here," Penny opened a document on the conference table in front of her, pulling out a thick piece of paper with code words written on it from a stack of papers, "The leader of the Undead Legion led by Elok is about to surrender. β
"Oh?" Karen-Sibo blinked in surprise, leaned forward slightly to pick up the thick skin paper that Penny had handed her, and quickly glanced at the code words recorded on it, translating them in her mind.
"Could it be that the Kingdom of Crulia is so powerful that even the undead legions have to grovel to them?" Penny sighed in frustration.
"Hey!" she got up and walked to the window of the spacious conference room, opened the huge window, and looked out at the thriving town outside, feeling the crispness of the cold breeze, "Do you think we really have a chance of winning?"
"Speaker, we have the endless resources of the Suk Plains as a backing, and although it is impossible for us to launch an attack on the Kingdom of Kruria, if it is only for defense, there will be no problem. Karen-Sibo looked at Penny's back and stood up and leaned over, "It looks like the Kingdom of Kruria is ruling the continent of Aylan, and all forces, including the orc tribes, are bowing to King Pedi, but in fact... The only ones who really support the Kingdom of Kruria are the elves. β
"If the Kingdom of Kruria defeats the undead legion led by Elok, it can attack the Suker Plain on two fronts, even..."Penny shook her head and said after being silent for a few seconds: "Even a three-line attack, Fort Norma is not in our hands now, if the Kingdom of Kruria sends a part of its army on an expedition to land on Feld Territory across the southern seas and attack us from the south of the Suke Plain, how should we deal with it?"
"An expedition is not something that can be organized in a short period of time, even with the national strength of the Kingdom of Kruria, it will take at least a year to prepare. Karene Sibo frowned, she clearly felt that the speaker's negative attitude at this moment was not deliberately pretended, "Moreover, with your request, our fortress city in the southern part of the plain broke ground half a month ago, and a simple defense system should be built in a year... Speaker, the entire council, the millions of people in Suker City, and the tens of millions of eyes in the Confederation are looking at you, you..."
"I just... Just wanted to say something annoying, just annoying things. Penny smiled, leaning against the window edge to reveal the woman's weak side, "Sometimes I even think... Forget it, you can't beat Brother Peidi at all, so it's better to surrender. Her smile was bitter with an unconcealed bitterness, "It's actually a very simple thing to bow down to your brother, it's far easier than fighting a war with him, but..."
