Chapter 520: Resourceful Habs, Rolling Her Eyes, the Eldest Princess
When the bell struck the first time at midnight, the eldest princess came to the state guesthouse with a large number of guards and masters. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"What's going on?" The eldest princess asked questions as soon as they met.
Speaking of which, in fact, the eldest princess is the actual leader in this three-person alliance, if it weren't for Leo's first letter of warning, and then sent a Sanctuary powerhouse, the eldest princess might not have been able to make up her mind to go out on this night full of assassins and assassinations.
Of course, as a resolute leader, the eldest princess did not move, and as soon as she acted, she brought almost all the cronies and guards around her, so the extra hundreds of people at this time crowded Leo's small building.
Of course, in this small room on the top floor, there are only a few important people such as Leo, Bella, and the eldest princess.
Leo smiled bitterly: "It's not clear in the letter, Duke Li'an is likely to have raised troops into the city." ā
"What?" The eldest princess's face showed a look of surprise: "This is Ridmar City, where did he come from the army?" ā
Leo shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, "Has Your Highness forgotten Emmanuel's rank?" ā
The eldest princess immediately understood: "You mean the Scarlet Knights?" This is impossible, I also tried to send someone to win over General Brian, but that general simply did not eat hard and soft, and insisted that he would only be loyal to the emperor and not to any contender for the throne. ā
Leo said: "But I believe in the means of Duke Elion, he must have countless ways to cooperate with Emmanuel and seize the command of the Scarlet Knights in one fell swoop." ā
The eldest princess took a deep breath and said with some annoyance: "I really don't understand why Lord Duke would rather support Emmanuel's ambitious and talented waste than support me, is it because I am a woman?" ā
Leo shook his head and said, "It's a shame I can't answer this question, but the current situation is that if we don't find a way, it won't be too late by the time the Scarlet Knights come to the door." ā
It was at this time that the Marquis Habs arrived.
Judging by the expression on his face, the Marquis Habs was obviously not in a good mood, and as soon as he entered the door, he complained to Leo:
"Are all these pretty little girls under your command so rude? As soon as they met, they tied me up here directly, and they didn't say a word. Hell, if I hadn't seen her with you, we'd be going to have a wave of infighting. ā
Leo couldn't help but sweat a little when he heard this, but he didn't expect that the blonde Daisy acted very steadily and did everything in an orderly manner on weekdays, but at this moment she also showed a "vigorous and resolute" side.
However, at the moment, the matter is urgent, and Leo can't care about apologizing, but goes straight to the point: "Lord Marquis, Duke Lean and Emmanuel are very likely to have entered Ridmar City with the Scarlet Knights at this moment, we have to find a way, otherwise tonight will be our death." ā
The Marquis of Habs rolled his eyes fiercely: "The young people now are not stable enough, what are you panicking about, the forwards of the Scarlet Knights have not yet entered the basin." ā
Leo breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, as we all know, Ridmar City is in a very large circular basin, so it seems that the vanguard of the Scarlet Knights should have just arrived on the outskirts of the city, and it will take at least an hour or so to reach the palace wall of the Red Fort in the center of the basin.
Leo suddenly found a question: "Wait, Lord Marquis, how did you know the exact location of the Scarlet Knights?" ā
The Marquis of Habs laughed a few times: "How come I have also been mixed in the officialdom of Ridmar City for decades, is there still such a news channel?" ā
Leo was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Then Lord Marquis, you must have a way to deal with the Scarlet Knights?" ā
The Marquis of Habs nodded and said cleanly, "No." ā
This time, it was Leo and the eldest princess who rolled their eyes.
You say you don't have an idea, you don't have an idea, what's the head!
The Marquis of Habs laughed: "The young man is really impatient, I am joking with you, I see that you are in a hurry." I can't help it, but that doesn't mean that others don't either. ā
"What?" As soon as Leo heard the good guy, he felt that the Marquis of Habs still had a back hand, and there were still reinforcements at this time? It seems that I misjudged you before, and you can compare to Gavin's old fox.
So Leo hurriedly asked, "Who?" Who has the means? ā
The Marquis of Habs smiled mysteriously: "Of course, this person is Prime Minister Paul." ā
Leo and the eldest princess looked at each other and sighed in unison, turning their heads away.
"Huh?" The Marquis Habs was not happy at this moment: "Am I wrong? Now the only one who can fight against the Scarlet Knights of the West Camp is the Silver Wing Knights of the East Battalion, and the head of the Silver Wing Knights is the younger brother of General Herman, and General Herman is on the side of Prime Minister Paul and the second prince, so who else has a way except Prime Minister Paul now? Can I still make tens of thousands of troops out of thin air? ā
"Yes, yes, yes, you're right." Leo said, "But you may have forgotten the fact that no matter which side of Prime Minister Paul or Duke Leanne wins, the outcome makes no difference to us - it is a death. ā
The Marquis Habs unceremoniously pointed out the mistake in Leo's words: "It is us who die, Leo you will not die, and do not forget that you are the envoy of the Church." ā
Leo snorted, and said in his heart, You don't understand that the current Holy See has long been turned upside down, and if the news of the defeat of the old fox Gavin comes tomorrow, then I will live in fear of being hunted down for the rest of my life.
Besides, if someone among Duke Leanne or Prime Minister Paul is unhappy with Leo and lets a soldier chop off his envoy "with a slip of his hand", it's not impossible, right?
Of course, Leo won't say these words now, because it's useless to say them, and now the Marquis of Habs and the eldest princess are too busy to take care of themselves, where can they worry about Leo? Besides, even if they had the ability, it would be beyond their reach.
So Leo said, "Then according to what you say, Duke Leanne and Prime Minister Paul each have half of the army, but we only have such a small number of people, so now we can only sit here and wait for death?" ā
"That's not true." The Marquis of Habs shook his head and said: "As the saying goes, two tigers must die and be injured when they fight, we just need to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and then come out to clean up the mess after they fight to the death." Besides, who said that we don't have troops, didn't you just brag to me a few days ago that those dozens of Holy See masters in your hands can be used as half a regiment when they are deployed? ā
"Ugh." Leo looked apparently convinced, and shrugged his shoulders helplessly: "It seems that this is the only way to go." ā
It must be said that the arrival of the Marquis of Habs and his words eased the atmosphere a lot, at least not as tense as before.
Marquis Habs smiled slightly and stood up from his chair: "Okay, Your Highness the eldest princess, let's go." ā
Leo was stunned when he heard this: "Where are you going?" ā
The Marquis of Habs smiled: "Where else can I go?" Of course, I went to Her Royal Highness the Empress and asked her to hand over the command of the 3,000 palace guards, you don't want to wait for Prime Minister Paul or Duke Li'an's soldiers to come to the palace gate, and these Janissaries will open the door and surrender without saying a word, right? Although Ridmar City has no walls, the walls of the Red Keep can still withstand it for a while. ā
Approaching the door, the Marquis of Habs suddenly turned to look at everyone in the room, and showed a meaningful smile: "Rest assured, who will win or lose in this battle is really not certain." ā
