Chapter 13: Low-level mistakes

The envoy did not hide the news of Princess Leia's arrival. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

This is what Princess Leah meant. She felt that she would definitely attract the attention of the Byron family if she made such a fuss in the official's office area, and instead of being discovered and arousing suspicion, it was better to take the initiative to show up and catch the other party off guard. It would undoubtedly be rude to do so, but Princess Leah wasn't worried about it at all.

Princess Leah had been in Byron City for two days, and the news of the expansion of the Bluestone Palace had reached her ears. She was very angry after hearing the news, she was going to hold an engagement ceremony in January next year, and the Byrons family actually expanded the palace at such a time, and the expansion was still the dormitory of the guards and maids, what does this mean?

She was in an extremely unhappy mood, so she drank a few more glasses at the blind date meeting, and then she used the strength of the wine to test the security of the official's office area. In terms of time, it was the Ayrt Kingdom that was rude first, but Princess Leah discovered the rudeness of the Byron Kingdom first, so she dared to make a fuss about the official office area and expose her existence.

Since there are faux pasas on both sides, then things are simple, let the public judge them!

Princess Leah is a girl, and people can explain that wanting to see her fiancé and his country before getting engaged is a girl's curiosity and willfulness, which is easy to be understood by the public. Maier couldn't explain it clearly, what he expanded was not the main hall where the king lived, nor the side hall where the princess lived, nor the Chaoyang Pavilion where the future prince and princess would live, but the quarters for the guards and maids.

The woman has been notified in advance that she will hold an engagement ceremony in the "Qingshi Palace" in January next year, but after receiving the notice, the man has engaged in a project in the Qingshi Palace that cannot be completed before January next year, and has nothing to do with the engagement ceremony, and may even affect the aesthetics of the engagement ceremony. No matter how you look at it, it seems that the man despises this engagement ceremony, otherwise how could he do such a thing in Qingshi Palace at such a time?

In fact, Mel just forgot about it, and because of this, the Byrons family was even more at a loss. Although Princess Leah didn't know why Maier would do such a thing, she was sure that the Byron family was more responsible than herself, so she dared to expose her existence. If the Byron family dares to pursue her sneaking into Byrons City without permission, she will investigate the expansion of the Bluestone Palace by the Byrens family after receiving the engagement notice, and the Byrens family will definitely suffer at that time.

Therefore, Maier did not dare to pursue Princess Leia's faults, and had to worry that Princess Leia would pursue her own faults. He wanted to dig a pit and bury himself now, and after telling Gray what he thought, Gray replied to him.

"When I knew that you had made such a low-level mistake, I wanted to dig a pit and bury you. It's a pity that this won't solve the problem, if you really want to atone for your sins, think of a solution quickly! ”

Low-level mistakes...... Low-level mistakes...... Truly...... This mistake is too low-level...... It's too low-level...... Belch...... Wait a minute? Low-level mistakes?

Meier's eyes lit up, and he stood up suddenly.

"Daddy! How did that guy get into Byron City?! ”

As soon as Mel said this, Gray realized that Byron City was not so easy to get into. Unless Princess Leah identifies herself at the Stonewall checkpoint, she can only wander around the Westgate Market area.

Princess Leah's original purpose was to test the reality of the Byron family, and if it wasn't for Myer's expansion of the Bluestone Palace, she would have returned to Lotton City in a few days and truthfully informed the current king of the information she had obtained. However, Maier's expansion of the Bluestone Palace upset her very much, and she drank a few more glasses of wine.

Stimulated by alcohol, Princess Leah also made a low-level mistake. She had forgotten that the city of Byron was not so easy to get into, and that if the Byrons family asked her how she had entered the city, the matter of the special pass would likely be exposed. Now that the Kingdom of Byron and the Kingdom of Elt are allies, Princess Leia, as a member of the royal family of the Kingdom of Elt, actually used the defense loopholes of the allies to infiltrate the capitals of the allies, and did not inform the allies of the defense loopholes at the first time, this kind of thing is unreasonable no matter what. In contrast, Meier's mistake in expanding the Bluestone Palace is less obvious.

It seems to have pulled back a game...... Uh, no!

Mel's face was pale, and his eyes were round.

This guy can infiltrate Byron City, which means that other people can infiltrate Byron City too!

The interior of the city was laxly fortified, with only two barracks for symbolic military protection, except for the Bluestone Palace and the King's Guard near the Bluestone Palace. There are only four garrison squadrons in each barracks, and the permanent strength is no more than 300 people, and the garrison troops in the two barracks together are only more than 600 people. The patrol force was similar, with a total of just over 1,200 men, equal to the garrison at the Stonewall checkpoint.

However, the total width of the Stonewall checkpoint was only 80 meters, and 1,200 men were enough to complete the garrison task. The city of Byron does not even have a city wall, except for a ring of high wooden fences on the side of the West Gate market area. In this case, 1,200 men were clearly not enough to defend the entire city. Even the city can't be defended, let alone the attached villages.

Once the state of the city's defenses is known, there is a high risk that the city will be attacked by the enemy in times of war. It is no exaggeration to say that the city of Byron is the foundation of the kingdom of Byrons, and as long as the city of Byron is lost, Mel temporarily loses control of the entire country. When the time comes, the rebels in the country will take the opportunity to rise up, and the local forces of the Taiyong Kingdom will also take the opportunity to rise up and break away from Mel's control—of course, this kind of thing is almost impossible to happen.

The internal defenses of the city of Byron were lax because Mel was sure to hold the city. His warehouses were stocked with a large number of new rifles and ammunition, and the city of Byron would not fall as long as the guards and the King's Guard were directly equipped with such weapons.

Mayer's concern was not about the city of Byron being attacked, but about something else.

"Daddy—"

"I know what you mean."

Gray stood up and gently smoothed out the folds in his clothes.

"I'll take care of this for you, you have more important things to do now."

"Well, got it, I'll hold her steady."

The two looked at each other, and Gray left the office. Maier sat down and thought for a few minutes, then straightened his meter and left the office.

On the afternoon of November 7, 139 New Calendar, Maier met with Princess Leah of the Elt Kingdom at the Bluestone Palace. The two tacitly did not talk about the topic of diplomatic faux pas, but only talked about some innocuous things.

Princess Leah hadn't realized her mistake yet. While chatting with Myer, she is thinking about using the cards in her hand to improve her position in the kingdom. Princess Leah is a very ambitious person, her father and grandfather are not as capable as her, and the current king is not as capable as her, she has always coveted the throne and wants to make a big career.

As early as two years ago, she had already overshadowed her father and grandfather in the limelight in the kingdom of Ayrt, and was greatly appreciated by the current king. The marriage between the Kingdom of Elt and the Kingdom of Byron is not only a game between countries, but also between Princess Leia and her grandfather and father.

Leah's grandfather and father wanted to strengthen their position in the country by marrying off their daughter. As long as Leah leaves the kingdom of Elt, her influence in the country will wane over time, and her supporters will also be concerned about the unification because of her marriage into the Byrons family. In this way, Leah's influence was further weakened.

The biggest difference between the Leiting aristocracy and the Alt aristocracy is that the Leiting aristocracy has a strong family concept and can take into account the feelings of the family members to a certain extent, while the Alt's aristocracy is completely opposite. They value themselves more than they value their family, and they value the family because the strength of the family affects their personal interests.

Elt nobles often increased their family's power at the expense of their family members, while increasing their influence within the family or realm and weakening their rivals. You must know that the Elite nobles, like the Lytting nobles, have a very low fertility rate, and family members are very precious, even so, the Elite nobles will still do this with peace of mind.

Therefore, the family members of the Elt nobles have a weak family relationship, and Leah has not considered the word "family affection" at all from her birth to the present. In her eyes, the royal family is a vast forest, and the other family members are all animals in the forest, and she is one of them.

The forest has the survival law of the forest, that is, the law of the jungle. The weak ones must be eliminated, and the strong ones can occupy the top of the food chain, which is also the survival rule of the Alt nobles. For the Elt nobles, the strength of your magical abilities does not determine your status in the family. Many Elt magicians with strong magical abilities can only become vassals of others in the end, obediently helping the monarch enchant weapons and equipment. Because they are not politically minded, they can only be exploited.

A person like Xiang Lea, who has strong magical abilities and political acumen, is relatively rare among the Elt nobles. Her father, grandfather, and great-grandfather were all average in magic, but she had a high talent for Elt magic. She uses this to package herself and show a great image of both civil and military.

The best of the Elt nobles knew how to master people, and Leah was no exception. Her cronies can not hesitate to risk their lives for her, or even die in vain. When she was sixteen years old, she once tested a young man who followed her to fight a lion with his bare hands, and the young man jumped off the lion den without hesitation.

Of course, Leah did not let the young man die, but jumped off the lion's den and cut off the lion's head with a sword. She told the young man that he was willing to die for himself, and she was willing to die for him. But as long as she is there, those who are willing to die for themselves will not lose their lives.

If Mel had been there, he would have complained about Leah's innocence. This method is useless for someone like Mel who has a mind of his own and only wants to be close to people, but it is very useful for those who only know how to go with the flow and care a lot about superficiality.

In this way, Leah cultivated her own power little by little, and she was unwilling to watch the power she had cultivated slowly being divided by her father and grandfather and becoming their property. So after the marriage with the Byrens family was decided, she always wanted to win back a game from her father and grandfather.

Although Leah has very different qualifications, is both civil and military, and can fiddle with people, she is still too young. The biggest weakness of young people is their lack of patience, and she came to Byron City this time to achieve her goal as soon as possible, and to fight against her father and grandfather. Once the human heart becomes agitated, it is easy to ignore the things that should be valued. Therefore, Leah's mistake is not only due to the stimulation of alcohol, but also the fault of impatience.

Leah had a turnover, but she did get a good hand. The special passes she had in her hand were very good bargaining chips, and even her great-grandfather could discourage the idea of marriage. Now that the two parties are not engaged, and both parties have been rude, the Kingdom of Alt can completely cancel the marriage.

Gray and Maier still don't know how Leah got into Byron City, and they don't think about the special pass. After a brief investigation, the two already knew that Leah had only revealed her whereabouts after spending two days in Byron City. During this time, Leah was able to figure out the defense deployment of Byron City, because Byron City had almost no defense deployment.

There is no doubt that Leah will definitely bring the news back to the Elt Kingdom. The Kingdom of Elt is now an ally of the Kingdom of Byrons, but the alliance between the two sides is not strong, and the impact of the lax defenses within the city of Byrons is uncertain once it reaches the Royal Family. The Elt Kingdom is an indispensable ally for the next stage of the Byronic Kingdom, and Gray and Maier don't want any variables on the Elt Kingdom's side.

It is true that Maier could strengthen the defenses of Byron City now, but it makes no sense. Because the decision to attack is in the hands of the attacker, and Meier is not the attacker. There are simply too many possible scenarios for the Elt Kingdom after getting this news.

They may think that the Byrons did not realize that they had stolen the city's defenses, and that the city's internal defenses were always lax. What's worse is that Leah seems to have found a way to sneak into Byron City quietly, if the Elt Kingdom attacks Byron City in this way at a critical moment, whether they succeed or not, the Byron Kingdom and the Elt Kingdom will go to war.

Even if the Elt Kingdom doesn't do this, they can tell the other forces about this news and the method of infiltrating Byrons City, so that they can test the waters, and Byrons City will still be unable to escape the battle at that time. Maier did not want the flames of war to burn into the city of Byron in any form, and if he could, he wanted the battlefield to always be abroad, so that the civilians of the Byrons kingdom would not be affected by the war.
