Chapter 123: Castle Talk
In the south of the royal capital, a gorgeous castle covering an area of fifty kilometers away is the property of the Duke of Mountbatten's family, and I don't know when a large number of rebels began to gather, especially in the past few days, due to the fact that the headquarters was too close to the royal capital some time ago, it was attacked by enemies of unknown origin.
The Duke of Mountbatten still hasn't figured out the origin of that group, and he doesn't even know where they came from, but he remembers that the clouds in the sky suddenly turned into a cigar-shaped monster, and then a large number of iron-clad humanoid monsters came out of it, and all kinds of terrible explosives were thrown.
Although up to now, no definite information has come, but everyone knows that the entire Ryan Kingdom is not against Duke Mountbatten, and there is no second candidate other than Earl Derek Ross, who has strong alchemy strength.
Well, in this way, the third princess Jessica and the little princess Vile should be fine, right? This is really not a good thing for the Duke of Mountbatten, who is determined to replace the royal family of Lane.
Although this has removed the threat of the Eastern Orc army, it has also brought a greater threat, that is, the restoration army in the province of Balk, because although the rebels are clearly self-centered, and they are the first to initiate this rebellion, there are no shortage of speculators with their own evil intentions and calculations among the rebels.
Therefore, at this moment, I don't know that a motley army composed of small lords from all over the country is confronting the Restoration Army led by the third princess across the river, otherwise, I will definitely respond to Derek early.
In the heart of the Duke of Mountbatten, Derek Ross has always been one of the objects of his attention, if it weren't for the fact that the other party was too close to the royal family, Mountbatten would definitely spend a lot of money to buy, and even Derek would not have to be on his side, as long as he remained neutral.
Although the Gallos family is not a high title, they have a great influence in the kingdom's army, of course, this is only a superficial reason, and the deeper is that the various weapons and equipment produced by the Rose Workshop are very sophisticated, and the prices are cheaper than other workshops.
In particular, in recent years, since the death of the old Earl Ross, the Rose Workshop, under the leadership of Derek, has continued to innovate, and all kinds of magical alchemy weapons have emerged in an endless stream, some of which are even enough to change the course of the war in the eyes of the Duke of Mountbatten, but unfortunately, somehow, Derek actually turned a blind eye to all his overtures, but completely turned to the king's faction.
"General Lucky Lucky, how is the front line now? How many days do we need to besiege before we can storm the royal capital?"
"Lord Duke, this ...... Maybe a little longer than you think, the city of Lane has been the king of Lane for thousands of years, and in such a long time, the city's defenses have long been very perfect, unless it is a strong attack at any cost, otherwise there is only one way to continue the siege. ”
As the first person in the military of the Lane Kingdom, the Duke of Mountbatten does not know, but now the rebels have been under siege for a long time, and they have already entered a period of exhaustion.
"Okay, I see, you go, call the mage head by the way when you go out. Duke Mountbatten waved helplessly.
The general saluted and retired, and after a while, a mage who was tightly wrapped in his whole body walked in, and there was no one left or right, and the Duke of Mountbatten, who was still resting in his chair, quickly stood up.
It is hard to imagine that "Master Enzo ......" could have such a respectful expression on the face of the Duke of Mountbatten at this moment, because of the heavy army in his hands, even in front of the king, he has always been unapologetic.
I said that you are not allowed to call me by name anywhere, and don't let anyone know that I am here with you!"
"Yes...... Uh, master," Duke Mountbatten's face froze, and he had to admit embarrassedly, and then said: "You see that the attack has not been going well now, can you please take your mage group to use more powerful strategic spells to help me break through the defense of the royal capital, if this continues, I am afraid that the morale will be greatly damaged, and that ......"
"It's your business how to fight! I'm just following the orders of the Council of Magic, leading a group of mages to assist you, but everything is still up to you, if we interfere too much, everyone will know that the rebellion in the Kingdom of Ryan has something to do with the Council of Magic!"
The masked mage slammed his staff on the ground and warned with a stern face.
Finally, the Duke of Mountbatten, fed up with the attitude of the masked mage, simply put away the respectful smile that was about to freeze on his face, sat back at his desk as usual in the army, crossed his fingers, stared at the mage with interest, and said in a very playful tone:
"However, if you don't help me, my army is really about to be unable to hold on, although the lion of the royal family of Lane is dying, but the residual power is still there, there are still many lords in the kingdom of Lane on the side of the king, and now their army is gathering on the way to come.
Once we can't attack here for a long time, not to mention the already determined royal forces, even the lords who are temporarily on the same front as us may turn their blades and turn to the king's side to fight us.
At that time, I don't think we have much chance of winning, and everyone thinks that the lion of the Lane family is a waste and doesn't know how to fight at all, but believe me, no one knows better than me how sharp the lion's claws are.
If it weren't for the fact that his methods were so skillful, taking the opportunity of conquering the Delen barbarians, he unknowingly caused a lot of losses to the army under my control, and maybe I would still be kept in the dark now.
Master, I know you're here with a mission from the Council of Magic, and I don't know what the Council's so-called 'grand plan' is, and I don't want to know, but apparently an obedient king is still very important in the Council, right?
You don't want your mission to fail, do you?"
Master Enzo was speechless, he has always been just a mage who is obsessed with the study of magic, although his own strength is superb, but his political level is really average, otherwise he would not have ended up at such an advanced age, and he would have personally led the team to fight incognito.
However, no matter how poor the political level is, the words can still be understood, just as the Duke of Mountbatten said, this mission is related to the success or failure of the "grand plan" and cannot be missed.
"Well, what do you want me to do?"
