Chapter Seventy-Three: The Situation Has Changed
More than ten days have passed, and Walter has almost finished assembling the escort team, she has transferred all the most elite subordinates, and it can almost be established today, and about the familiar figure she saw more than ten days ago, she has almost forgotten about it, and her attention is all on the guards.
After all, Lance usually only stays in McGson, and this time she has already told the other party that she does not need to participate in the Brave Election Competition, as a member of the revolutionary army whose combat power is comparable to that of the Seven Gods, Lance must hide his strength as much as possible, so it is impossible for Lance to come here, so Walter is also relieved to think so.
Looking at the revolutionary army standing neatly in front of him, Walter felt that the hardships of the past few days were worth it.
And at this moment, suddenly a subordinate ran over and whispered a few words in her ear.
"What? Did the eldest prince send someone to deliver the message? ”
Walter frowned slightly, she didn't have to think about it to know that the other party was going to invite her to dinner again, since she promised the other party last time, that bastard was like an addict, and sent out invitations whenever he was free, and because of the overall situation, Walter could only agree with his mouth, looking at that hypocritical face and eating, it was even more disgusting than eating vomit.
Forget it, bear with me a little longer, Walter thought to himself, and walked towards the messenger's place under the guidance of his men.
"Lord Walter." The messenger bowed slightly in respect.
Walter secretly sneered in his heart, about the scandal she had back then, presumably the whole imperial capital knew that after so many years, the people might forget it, but the people in the royal city would definitely remember that the messenger in front of her was just because she was a celebrity next to the prince recently, so she didn't dare to offend, otherwise she would probably be like she did when she first entered the royal city, and she would treat herself coldly.
Although he was disdainful in his heart, he still had to do enough work on the surface, and Walter smiled gently and asked politely, "Is there anything your Royal Highness has to tell me?" ”
"Your Highness said that there is no need to set up a guard army anymore."
"Oh, I'll go ......."
Wrong! What did the other party just say? There is no need to form a guard army?! Isn't it an invitation to dinner?!
What's going on here?
The messenger looked at Walter in front of him, the other party showed a very gentle expression just now, but just a few seconds after he finished speaking, the other party's expression turned out to be so terrifying, on the face without a smile, the eyes in those narrowed eyes seemed to be as sharp as a blade, he couldn't even figure out why the other party's attitude changed so much, could it be that he just said something wrong?
"May I ask why?"
Without a trace of emotion, the messenger raised her head, her gaze happened to meet the other party, and for a moment her heart was stunned, at that moment she felt as if her heart was clenched by a hand, a little out of breath, raised her hand to wipe the cold sweat on her forehead, swallowed her saliva, and the messenger replied cautiously: "I heard that Lord Jon has found the prisoner." ”
Bang!
Walter's fist slammed into the nearby wall, and the steel gauntlet slammed against the wall with a loud noise, making the messenger tremble, and Walter's expression was as if it wanted to kill.
Why is this happening? It's just a little bit close!
Why did you catch it at this time?
Unwilling and angry like a flame burning in her heart, she sighed, tried to calm herself, turned her head to look at the messenger, when she saw the other party's frightened half-dead expression, Walter reacted that he was out of shape, quickly adjusted his emotions, and re-revealed a warm smile like a flower blooming, Walter regained his approachable and perfect appearance: "I'm sorry, I lost my temper, just now I couldn't help but get angry when I thought that criminal killed so many innocent people, as soon as I heard that he was caught, I just wanted to punish him quickly." , but I don't have to worry about this matter, His Royal Highness the Prince will definitely be executed as soon as possible. ”
When the messenger heard this, he breathed a long sigh of relief and forced a smile.
"Your Excellency, you really have a sense of justice, but it seems that His Royal Highness the Prince does not intend to execute that prisoner, and I heard that such an agreement was reached."
Walter's smile froze.
"Oh, I see, I'm sorry for you." Walter watched the messenger depart with a dark face.
It's a very bad situation now, even worse than it was before the Escort was formed.
If there is no need to set up an escort team, the assembled members of the Revolutionary Army will probably be incorporated into the Imperial Army by Elbert, which means that Walter will not be able to directly manage her subordinates, and the transmission of orders will become troublesome, and the members of the Revolutionary Army integrated into the Imperial Army will not be able to cooperate with other companions at the strategic level, which is equivalent to weakening their own combat power in disguise.
This must be avoided.
Whatever the reason for Elbert's decision to dismiss the idea of forming a convoy, Walter tried her best to convince the other party, and she decided to meet Elbert herself......
"Your Highness, I heard that the prisoner has been caught."
In Elbert's room, Walter stood deferentially.
Elber nodded: "Yes. ”
"But I heard that Your Highness, you don't seem to be planning to execute the other party, and you have reached a certain agreement with the other party, is this?"
Elbert frowned and thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "I shouldn't have told anyone else, but since Walter wants to know, then it doesn't matter." The prisoner was not a human at all, but an alien race. ”
"Interracial?" Walter was taken aback.
"That race feeds on human blood, and although it is dangerous, the other party can indeed help the empire, and the small price it needs to pay is also within the scope of the empire. It does seem like a bit cowardly to ally with enemies who hurt fellow citizens, but I think it's the wisest decision, as Jon just said to me – there are no permanent friends or foes, only eternal interests. ”
Walter's expression was complicated, and she didn't know what she was thinking, and it took a long time for her to ask, "Then Your Highness, what are you going to do with the escorts?" ”
With his thumb and forefinger pinching his chin, Elbert thought about it and made a decision.
"Incorporate into the Imperial Army, there is no need for the Escort Force to exist now."
Walter's fists clenched imperceptibly.
"Huh——! The president is here, too. ”
Suddenly a voice came from the door, and as Felik yawned, he stepped in.
"Felik?!" Walter was taken aback when he saw Felik walking in.
How did Felik end up here?
"You two...... Know? Elbert looked at the two in front of him dumbfounded.
However, Felik glanced at the two calmly, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile: "I met Elbert because of the blood clan incident, I didn't expect you to be so familiar with him." ”
Elbert? This kid actually called the eldest prince by his name, isn't he afraid of death? Walter felt that his three views were collapsing, and on the other hand, Elbert, the other party was expressionless, and there was no sense of anger at all, as if he had long been used to it.
"Felik, is there anything you have to do with me this time?" Elbert asked.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to talk to you about the last time."
