Chapter 1922: All Quiet on the Western Front (XII.)
"She's not from our side...... When I saw her just now, I felt a little familiar, but now I remember that I had seen her portrait in the newspaper three years ago," Nikolai replied with a "heart-to-heart connection", "She is Palatina Sigmone Hansenberg, known as the 'Knight Princess', the only daughter of Prince Sigmunt, the only daughter of Prince Sigmunt, the commander of the 1st Brigade of the Knights of Discipline, who visited the Far East three years ago, when the "Fatherland Daily" and "Far Eastern Evening News" solemnly reported the news, She also put her portrait alongside the portrait of our regent on the front page. ”
Lena gasped. It was only at this time that she suddenly realized why the cavalry on the opposite side looked a little strange, it turned out that they were all imperial knights disguised as Far Eastern soldiers, led by Princess Palatina herself, and arrived near Cold Creek Town to carry out a secret reconnaissance mission, probably to prepare for the follow-up attack on Leng Creek Town, and also blamed herself for being unlucky, and actually collided head-on with this disguised reconnaissance imperial cavalry!
Just when Lena, Nikolai, and Bafra were terrified, Paladina pursed her red lips, and a strange smile suddenly appeared on her handsome face, and asked Peter in a pure Far Eastern accent,
"Little brother, who are you in the back three?"
"Sir, my name is Peter! The one-armed man is my eldest brother, the older girl is my eldest cousin, and the little girl is my little cousin, and we are all farmers in Hedong Village! Peter nodded and replied with a smile on his face.
"Oh, I've been to Hedong Village, it's a good place, do you still have elders in your family?"
Palatine carried her whip and paced with her hands in her hands, smiling and seemingly nonchalantly talking to Peter. However, Peter had the feeling that the other party was a cat and he was a mouse, and he was being played with by the other party, so he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat and barely kept his composure.
"Back to the sir, the old people in our family have all passed away, leaving us four brothers and sisters."
"How did you brothers and sisters get covered in mud and dirt this early in the morning? Seeing you in a hurry, where are you going? Palatina asked quietly.
"Hey! Don't mention it, it's not all war-torn people! Peter slapped his thigh and pretended to be full of chagrin, "Since early yesterday morning, the imperial devils on the other side of the river have been constantly firing artillery on this side of the river, and the villagers in the village are frightened, worried that the imperial devils will attack and slaughter us, so they all drag their families and flee with their families. ”
Peter smiled timidly, took a step closer to Palatina, lowered his voice, and said, "Sir, you have also seen that my eldest cousin and younger cousin are very good-looking, and these years of chaos have been ...... My eldest brother and I were worried that they would get into trouble, so we deliberately covered our bodies in mud and water to cover up their posture a little, although it looked dirty, at least it was safer. ”
Palatina nodded, suddenly turned to look Peter in the eye, and asked with a smile: "By the way, is the relative you plan to take refuge in live next to the Northern Misty Swamp, in a place called 'Valley Village'?" ”
"Uh......" Peter heard the word "valley village" as if struck by lightning, and looked at Palatina speechless, a chill rushing from the soles of his feet to the ends of his hair.
Ignoring Peter's strange expression, Palatina sighed to herself: "I think back to three years ago, when I traveled north on the magic train accompanied by a friend, and stopped at the platform of Valley Village on the way, and was deeply impressed by the local scenery, it was really a nostalgic paradise......
Sighing, she continued: "The valley village is very suitable for your family to settle down, your eldest brother can be a magistrate there, your younger sister can help the peasants cultivate the wheat fields there, and you yourself may be a resident priest and preside over the sacraments, you all have a bright future, why bother wading through the troubled waters on the banks of the turbid waves in this war-torn river." ”
Peter trembled and stammered, unable to utter a word. If it was possible that Palatina's mention of Valley Village just now was just a coincidence, saying this at this moment was enough to prove that she had not only been to Valley Village, but also knew something about his life experience with Nikolai and Bafra in Valley Village, but he had no impression of Palatina, and had to suspect that the other party was proficient in magic such as "mind reading", and any secret could not hide from her, and the more she thought about it, the more terrifying she felt.
Just when Peter was so frightened that he was about to lose his composure, and thought that he was destined to die today, Palatina suddenly turned around and waved her hand, and said in a cheerful voice, "Go away." ”
"Uh...... You...... Do you really want to let us go? Peter couldn't believe his ears.
"For the sake of the friend who accompanied me to visit Valley Village, I don't want to embarrass you today, it's best to go as far as you can, don't come back to my sight, otherwise you're not welcome!"
Palatina's voice was gentle at the mention of her former friend, and then she took a sharp turn and became colder, and finally when she warned Peter and the others, every syllable that came out of her mouth was full of murder.
Peter didn't understand Palatina's complicated mood at the moment, only knew that he had somehow picked up a life, and he didn't dare to say a word, so he turned back to Nikolai, Lena, and Bafra to wink, and quickly slipped away.
Palatina watched as the figures of the four quickly disappeared from view, a heartbreaking sadness emerging from the depths of her sapphire eyes.
……
Thirty minutes later, Palatina led the patrol back to the east bank station, and as soon as she dismounted, she noticed that the atmosphere in the camp was not right: most of the officers and men looked panicked, and they were running around the camp, and all kinds of miscellaneous items were lifted upside down, as if they were eager to carefully check every inch of land.
Palatina secretly wondered, and sent guards to find Colonel Mendelssohn, the deputy brigade commander who had stayed in the camp, to inquire about what had happened in the camp during her absence.
"That guy Bazel had bad luck and was scolded by General Engel early this morning." Colonel Mendelssohn's face was hard to conceal his schadenfreude.
Hearing him tell the cause and effect, Palatina learned that at the same time that she led her personal guards to pretend to be Far Eastern cavalry to reconnoiter the terrain near Lengxi Town, a group of unknown Far Eastern agents infiltrated the East Bank position, bypassed the security net, and unknowingly sneaked into the warehouse containing the four train guns, first assassinated the guards stationed in the warehouse with extremely vicious means, and then destroyed the train guns with magic-infused bombs, and then quietly escaped from the camp afterwards. Until now, the Imperial military has not figured out how many Far Eastern agents who destroyed the train cannons, and what their origins were.
