Chapter 226: Old Charles
Perhaps it was because Jenny had blown Sebastian and Bob too badly in order to build momentum for his subordinates, and the successive deaths of these two completely destroyed the Fishman's psychological defenses.
The fish-man, who had a psychological breakdown, suddenly panicked, and then different middle-ranking officers made different decisions.
Some of the fishmen, led by the officers, rushed to the elven lines, while others continued to hold on to Sebastian's last orders.
There was nothing more to do with Charles, and after completing the decapitation mission, he returned to the tent and continued to write, and George told him that there would be no new missions for the next few days.
The fish-men on Crouching Grass Ridge eventually became a stepping stone for the growth of the recruits.
After cleaning up the battlefield, all ten recruit brigades were arranged to rest on the Lying Grass Ridge, and while they were conducting a post-battle summary, they waited for the rangers who searched the mountains for possible fish to take them out to hunt.
At the same time, the two battles that took place in Baiyun Mountain and Wocaoling were ordered by George to be kept strictly secret.
This is a secret, but there is another thing that cannot be kept secret.
That night, the magic communication bureaus all over the continent received Danio's farewell letter, and the news that the fish-man army had killed Elizabeth and that all the fish-men had reported to the country suddenly spread throughout the continent.
By the way, the name of Danio, who was attached to the end of the farewell book, was also known to everyone.
"It's a man!"
"A warrior deserves to shed his last drop of blood on the battlefield, as he did. ”
"This is a role model for my generation!"
"Elf princess, it's a pity...... I saw her last time she was passing by with a child......"
Similar conversations continue to occur in human taverns.
In the Elven Tree Sea, the news also began to spread secretly among the people.
At the daily press conference, friends of all ethnic groups – even the dragon sent representatives – expressed deep concern about the matter, while the spokesman said "no comment" with a black face.
Then came the news that Queen Victoria had been closed for the past few days, and that an elf had seen the Queen's best friend, Lady Lef, land in the back garden of Buckedwood Palace after coming out of the shop that sold the Peninsula chicken boxes.
Then the Magic Telecommunications Bureau in Greentown and other cities began to "maintain the equipment" indefinitely, and no one could send a report. At the same time, many travelers who came to Greentown from the south said that martial law had been imposed near Osmanthus City.
In the end, the groups of retired veteran cadres on the square opposite the Buckingtree Palace have disappeared, and those friendly people who want to find out the news from them have waited for a few days without seeing them.
Eventually, the news spread to a city in the southwest corner of the Elven Tree Sea, on the edge of the Forest Sea.
There is a luxurious house in the northeast corner of Durian City, and the courtyard outside the house is surrounded by tall bamboo.
In the yard, an elderly elf is feeding the fish by the small pond.
In the pond, the koi fish stick their heads out of the water, and the elf sitting on a chair on the shore flicks a grain of fish food into the koi's mouth with his fingers.
At this time, a squinting-eyed butler walked over with two middle-aged elves.
The butler whispered to the old elf who was feeding the fish, "Your Highness Charles, Administrator Harold and Commander Bernard are visiting. ”
Old Charles, the previous king of the Elven Court, nodded lightly, and then continued to feed the fish.
Harold and Bernard stood beside Charles Sr. and glanced at each other, both of them looking at each other with "you say."
Old Charles pulled out a quaint gold coin from his pocket and handed it over.
The administrative and military leaders of Durian City knew the rules of old Charles, and they respectfully took the gold coin, and then bounced it into the air.
With a "poof", Harold flicked the gold coin into the water with a shake of his hand.
A transparent mage's hand picked the gold coin out of the water, "Obverse." ”
Harold reported in a low voice: "Your Highness, according to the magical communication of the fish-people we intercepted, Her Highness Elizabeth was martyred in an ambush outside Osmanthus City. ”
With a "poof", a koi fish waiting for fish food with its mouth wide open was shot on the head by a fish food, and the other koi escaped in a hurry.
Old Charles sat motionless for several minutes, then asked in a calm voice, "Does my granddaughter have a baby?"
It was Bernard who replied, "No, but she recently took in a human apprentice named Charles McGarden." Her Majesty recently added him to the royal family. ”
Old Charles narrowed his eyes and asked, "Is it a descendant of Philip and Catherine?"
"Yes. Bernard replied.
Old Charles fiddled with the fish food in the fish food box with his fingers, and said lightly: "This fish food was taught to me by Joseph's child, but I didn't expect so many years to pass in a blink of an eye." ”
For a moment, the air was so quiet that the only sound was the sound of bamboo swaying in the wind.
After a while, old Charles said, "Since I am a descendant of Nana, then I will not say anything." The friendship between their clan and ours has a long history, and if it weren't for the help of their holy son, our clan would have died in the forest sea long ago. As long as that little guy marries an elf daughter-in-law in the future, the daughter they give birth to will be the next queen. ”
After a while, old Charles said, "If my daughter remarries and gives birth to a baby, I don't say it." ”
The two people standing here are Victoria's henchmen, and the elder Charles knows that his words and his own performance will be transmitted to his daughter in the slightest.
In the end, old Charles said in a low voice: "We can't mess up, if anyone dares to jump out and make trouble, don't blame me, a father's hand." ”
Seeing the elder Charles leaning back in his chair and closing his eyes, Harold and Bernard immediately took their leave.
They had just taken a few steps when they heard the voice of old Charles again: "You give me a copy of the little guy's information, and what is next, don't be careless." ”
The visitor left, and the housekeeper scooped up the headshot koi from the pond and headed for the kitchen.
When the koi fish had been made into fragrant pine nut fish, the butler came to the bedroom and invited old Charles to lunch.
At this time, old Charles opened a wardrobe that he had not opened for more than 300 years, and took out a set of well-maintained leather armor and a magic wand from the closet.
"Your Highness, it's time for lunch. The butler whispered.
Old Charles examined his leather armor and said to his butler, "Prepare yourself tonight, and then bring the old brothers, and I will invite them to drink." After so many years, it's time for us to move, and if we don't move, we won't be able to move. ”
The butler's squinted eyes suddenly opened, revealing a shrewd gaze.
Old Charles smiled, "It seems that these hundreds of years have suffocated you, go and call someone." ”
