Chapter 547: Her Voice
Loria paced up and down her little base, listening to White's report, while the other two guards looked at her with solemn expressions—a little luck and a little operation, and it was all her people—fiction щwwlā
Chestnut leaned against the corner and looked at Loria wistfully, five pairs of red eyes reflecting the dim light of the torch in the distance, each thinking and calculating.
"So the trial is tomorrow?" Loria interrupted Wright, "How many of us are there?"
"Three hundred and thirty-seven, miss. Flamon had already memorized the latest numbers, and he glanced at Chestnut's severed hand, hesitated and said, "If you don't count you, there are only one hundred and twenty-seven who have completed the transformation and can fight for you." ”
Of course, the stupid guy who woke up and cried bitterly with the mutilation of plants was of course excluded by him.
Loria frowned again, it was already very fast to spread the disease to this process in a short period of time...... She had released a lot of her own blood and carried out the simplest and crudest infections, but time was still tight, and the remaining vampires who could complete the transformation tomorrow were unlikely to have any combat power...... It is necessary to control them first, then explain the status quo to them, and then review them and give them a little time to accept their inhuman status.
"What about rebellion, how many people are explicitly supporting us?"
That's enough to complete a coup d'état, but it doesn't guarantee the stability of the ensuing situation, and if she's not mistaken, the Forsaken are now on the offensive as the Scarlet Crusaders shrink.
"Less than three hundred......," Flamon said with a calm face, and he didn't know Loria well enough, and he didn't even think that this person was enough to make a little big wave, and he began to feel that the future was slim.
If only I had more time...... Loria looked at everyone's expressions in turn, and then she turned to Ragnes and asked, "What about Renault and Whiteman, and how many soldiers do they have at their disposal after excluding the neutral forces?"
Ragnes, who served as Renault's secret agent, thought for a moment and told the information he had: "Our intelligence war has had some effect, yesterday morning, Renault's men fell into chaos, more than sixty people were arrested at one time, and he also sent another sixty-two soldiers to cross the portal. Minus the number of people we had previously rebelled against and purged by himself, he was still able to mobilize five hundred of his direct command and more than three hundred of his armory.
Hehe, more than 800 people, enough to start a campaign.
"By the way. The various nobles also controlled less than two hundred people, and Duane had dozens of magicians under him. Ragnes counted on his fingers: "Most of the nobles' private soldiers have been purged or imprisoned, and they have a great grudge against Renault, you may be able to believe Bogdanoska's words, according to my intelligence." He was indeed the spokesman of the aristocracy. ”
However, even with the help of the nobles, four hundred against eight hundred could not fulfill Loria's wish...... She counted on mobilizing overwhelming forces to directly subdue Renault, rather than starting another civil war that would ruin everyone after the Crusaders had lost so much of their strength.
"It's bad, but it's not hopeless. Loria repeated the math problems she had already knew, and then began to give orders, "Flamon, go tell Kana and ask her to bring some people to find a way to drug the water source...... The non-lethal kind, Ragnes, take your men. On the premise of ensuring that the plan is not disclosed, try to control the key objectives as much as possible, whether it is rebellion or detention, you decide for yourself. ”
"White, keep this place, get a shovel to secure the door, and I'll be back before dawn. As she spoke, she walked towards the iron gate at the exit, disappearing under the surprised gazes of the three men.
Loria has to make a last-ditch effort to convince the nobles and Duane to support her.
She didn't want to live like a caged bird, not to mention that she didn't believe in Whitemayne's promises - for Whitemayne, only a dead Loria was a good Loria.
……
After intermittent night rain. It was the same morning as usual, and the air smelled of blood and silenced as the soldiers stepped out of their tents and headed to the small square in front of the chapel under the urging of the officers. Prepare for the trial of Loria Mograini and many other traitors.
As if to prevent the situation from getting out of hand, Reynaud locked most of the untrustworthy in the camp and guarded them by his henchmen, and he placed his direct army divisions at the various passes of the monastery, allowing only less than three hundred men to witness the trial.
Captain Ten, Flamon, led his squad through the arch slowly, and Renault made an improvised adjustment. The mess that had made them make a mess was accompanied by an unexpected opportunity - he had not had a chance to get close to the chapel, but he had been temporarily reinforced, and although even he could not figure out how many of his own people would be able to get in, he had a chance to act on it.
He swept away his previous frustration and pessimism, and as the critical moment approached, he became calm - danger always comes with opportunity, and he should find a chance to change his title.
What about Sir Flamon?
Ragnes confirmed the final list, and just last night, he and his men narrowly missed several times, but finally managed to get the supposedly key targets, three mid-level officers in Renault's army.
One of them promised to keep his men in the camp closed, and the other two temporarily rebelled in front of the large chest of gold...... The rest, all gone.
As Renault's agent, he is familiar with the personalities of many people, and was the first to spot the monastery, and after following a warrior who has begun to become strange after recovering from a serious illness, he senses the vampire's secret plot.
Unlike Flamen or White, Ragnes did not join a new faction under threat, but asked for it...... After seeing the rotten and dark corners of the monastery, he felt he had to seek change.
Loria, of course, didn't trust him, and he took the initiative to accept the disease called Bloody Vampire.
……
For all these years, Renault had never remembered an outbreak in early summer, but it did.
Zyuganov refused to follow his orders, it was nothing, the Alterac had always been unruly, and it would be good to get rid of it later, a few officers were late, and they were dangling around the corner like ghosts with pale faces, and Renault was not sure if they had secretly drunk; the squads were a little confused by the impromptu formation again, and there were a few people he hadn't seen in a while, and the idiots might still be looking for a new deployment of their own......
The constant return of his men made him more and more uneasy, and he was tempted to cancel the trial, but felt that he was just nervous...... He hadn't had a good night's sleep in a long time.
He comforted himself that all the key points had been guarded, that the passages in and out of the monastery had been blocked, and that just now Duane had sent his sincerity, and that he had agreed to surrender his power.
It won't be long before the last obstacle to his permanent and secure reign with Whitemane will be removed. (To be continued.) )
