Chapter 145: Action

ps: The second update, ask for a monthly pass

Cooper, one of the ten's captains of Edward's Darkblade. Upon learning of such an opportunity, Edward hurriedly asked Darkblade to send personnel to Scotland to persuade Major Theo.

Cooper, on the other hand, was chosen by Guy to be an emissary because of his ability to speak well, and was given this important task.

Because of his background (Cooper means), he grew up and came into contact with a lot of people, so he was always very slippery, and he was good at dealing with strangers.

Not satisfied with the fate of his small handicraft businessman, he joined the organization from the very first moment of the establishment of the Dark Blade.

It's a pity that his qualifications are too shallow, and he can only become a small ten-captain, which is still the credit of his mouth.

As soon as he arrived in Edinburgh, he did not act rashly and met Major Dior directly, but kept spending money to find out all the information about Major Dior.

And he did not target Major Dio, but set the people around him, indirectly influencing Major Dio, so that not only the difficulty coefficient is small, but also it is not easy to startle the snake.

Sure enough. In less than half a day, Major Dior's personal captain, Boris, appeared in his eyes.

The first time they met, he didn't say anything directly, just deliberately revealed some information and left a trace of thought.

After a day or two of money and fortune strategy, the relationship between the two was brought closer, and today, he came to Boris's mansion, ready to invite him to eat, drink and be merry as usual, who knew that he was not at home.

After bribing the servant, he learned that Boris had been urgently recruited into the palace by Major Dio, and he knew in his heart that he would be able to succeed today.

After staying for more than an hour, Boris finally returned to his mansion with a serious face and decisive movements, which was very different from the past.

"Mr. Boris......" Cooper was interrupted as soon as he spoke, "Mr. Cooper please follow me!" ”

Boris's face was solemn, and he waved his hand at Cooper, making an inviting gesture.

Cooper had no choice but to follow him into a secret room.

"Mr. Cooper, don't you know what His Majesty promised to my young master?"

As soon as he sat down, Boris asked straight to the point, with a hint of eagerness.

But Cooper's heart was on fire, and he knew that this matter was half done.

Sorting out his thoughts, Cooper recalled the conditions given by Edward, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, he said carefully.

"Before Your Majesty comes, let me bring an edict stamped with the national seal, which contains the benefits for your master!"

In order to gain the trust of Major Dio, Edward had to write an edict stamped with the seal of the state to allay his suspicions.

"It clearly states that as long as your master, Major Dio, can lead all the French soldiers to open the gates of Edinburgh while the Earl Wilson leads the troops, Major Dio will be canonized as Baron Huntington and given 5,000 acres of land! And become a member of the House of Lords! ”

"This is the greatest reward for your master, you know, our majesty has not canonized a nobleman until the throne!"

After saying Edward's reward, Cooper couldn't help but sigh, his eyes and tone full of envy.

Watching Boris listen attentively, Cooper continued, "Mr. Boris, because of your merits, I will hand over to Your Majesty, and your merits will not be forgotten!" ”

"I can't talk about knighthoods, but I still have hundreds of acres of land!"

It was only when he heard the news that Boris looked happy, "Where, whatever credit I have, it is all the credit of my master!" ”

Having said that, the smile on the corner of his mouth was still difficult to suppress.

"Well, I will send you the edict later, and you must tell your master that on the fifth day of May, at eight o'clock in the evening, as soon as you see a waving torch under the city walls, you must open the gates!"

"If you catch those nobles and the Queen Mother of Scotland, my master's reward will probably be even greater!"

Finally, after leaving a word, Cooper took his leave, and he had to inform the Earl Wilson of Huntington of this momentous news.

Boris, who had been given the details, told Major Theo, who, after receiving Edward's edict with the seal, immediately discussed the specific action.

At noon on May 5, the entire French barracks were full of laughter and excitement.

Having spent all his savings and supplies in the army, Dio bought almost all the wine and meat on the streets of Edinburgh, and invited all the soldiers to eat and drink.

According to the plan, first of all, the middle-level and high-ranking officers of General Theo were invited to drink separately, and the high-ranking officers were about a dozen, and the middle-level officers were in their fifties.

The high-ranking officers drank fine wine, hugged the stumbling women invited by Dio, did not care about Dio's presence at all, and munched on the barbecue mixed with spices, one by one, overjoyed.

Although I don't know why His Excellency the Major invited them to drink, they didn't eat the feast in vain.

Dio drank wine with the senior officers of the army, but after a while, he went out under the pretext of urinating.

As soon as he left the tent, Dio saw Boris standing by and his more than fifty of his own soldiers.

These soldiers were all loyal men accumulated by Theo over the past ten years, a man of great form, brave and good at fighting, and loyal to him.

"Boris, kill all the people inside for me in a while, remember to keep your voice quiet, don't run away from one!"

With a low voice, Dio looked left and right and said to Boris, who was wearing military armor.

"Yes, I promise not to miss a single one!" Boris assured in a low voice.

These high-ranking officials were basically either children of the nobility or had backgrounds, and they were not very obedient to Dio in their hearts, and when he failed the king's task, they disobeyed him.

Only by killing can he completely master the army.

Dio came to another tent, the middle-level officers inside were very hot to him, they didn't know that Dio had offended the king, they were very hot to Dio, after all, he couldn't help those high-ranking officers, but it was a piece of cake to deal with them.

The officers gathered around one by one, touting and toasting at Dio, who drank a few glasses, and his head was a little dizzy.

He didn't forget what he was doing, and then he lifted his spirits, and showed a sad expression, and his eyes were a little red and swollen.

The officers below couldn't bear it, and asked puzzledly, "Your Excellency, why do you look sad?" ”

Looking at the puzzled people, Dio slowly said in a sad tone: "Everyone, we have been away from home for more than half a year, and we miss our family very much, so we are a little sad!" ”

"But I just got a piece of news, and I won't hide it from you, I heard that His Majesty the King wants us to be stationed in Scotland for a long time, as short as two or three years, and as long as six or seven years, I can't hide the sadness in my heart when I think of this!"
