Chapter 476: Beyond the Battlefield (Medium)
"So, if we want to get more, we have to give more?" The unfamiliar voice asked in an expectant tone, as if there was hope. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Yes, the world is fair, and if you give something, you will definitely get something back." Aix said as a matter of course.
"So, what can we do? I think that you know better than us about the information of those noble lords, and our strength must not be in your eyes, I really can't think of what we can rely on to get what we want. The unfamiliar voice said with a longing tone.
"Everyone has their own advantages, although your current status makes you feel that the world is unfair, but at this time it is also your advantage, it just so happens that I have one thing for you to do here, as long as you can do it, I guarantee that you can not only save your life, but also get freedom, real freedom." Ax felt like a devil at this point, luring a gambler who had no way out and made him sell his soul to himself.
The other party was obviously a little hesitant, how much he wanted to be free, but because of this, he knew how huge the price he had to pay in order to be free, just like what Ax just said, the world is fair, and the reason why he feels unfair is because he didn't get the harvest he expected.
"Okay, I agree." Finally, after the unfamiliar voice made up her mind and said this, it seemed that the whole person was relaxed.
"Well, that's what you need to do, I don't want a third person to know about it, including your companions." Aix threw an envelope at the other party, then turned to leave.
After Aix left, in the shadow of a big tree, a hand trembled out, caught the envelope that flew over, took a deep breath, and then opened the envelope, but at a glance it was already shocked speechless, and then, looked around left and right, although he knew that there was no one around, but he was still not at ease, after reading the contents of the envelope again, and remembering every word in the envelope, the man directly stuffed the entire envelope into his mouth, and then swallowed it, and left here in a hurry.
Soon, an ordinary border defense battle report was sent back to Noxus City, but the noble council of elders had already explained, and all the information about the Blackstone Fortress had to be seen first, and the information of a small side fortress was not much of a person's attention, so no one would risk the face of the Elders for such a trivial matter.
Anakin is a veteran nobleman, and his job is to be in charge of the processing of information on the border, and the information about the Blackstone Fortress happens to be in charge of him. Since Edmund was in charge of the recovery of the Blackstone Fortress, every day, Anakin would make two trips to the place where the battle report was received, and as long as there was a relevant battle report, he would definitely report it to the Council of Elders as soon as possible.
When Anakin came to the receiving point of the battle report as usual, the latest battle report had just been sent, Anakin looked at a battle report about the Blackstone Fortress, immediately opened it and watched it, and was shocked after reading it, it listed the damage figures of the attack and defense of the Blackstone Fortress, as for the others, it was not involved, so it was not possible to know the course of the battle, but the death of the heavily armored soldier was a major event, so the elder secretly put the battle report into his clothes, and then left as if nothing happened.
"Great Elder, this is the battle report that has just been sent, Edmund lost the first battle, and the heavy soldiers suffered heavy losses." The elder who stole the battle report took out the battle report and handed it to the Great Elder.
"Edmund, this waste, will only talk on paper, and if he encounters a war, he is nothing." The Great Elder glanced at the battle report, slapped it directly on the table, and scolded angrily.
"This is the military's battle report, has Edmund's secret letter arrived? I'm going to fight the whole process. "As the only person in the Council of Elders who has been on the battlefield and seen the tragedy of war, the Great Elder has a very clear understanding of the gains and losses of war, which can be said to be completely different from the other nobles in the Council of Elders who stand on top of the legacy of their ancestors and only know how to enjoy.
"Not yet, but it should be soon."
"You personally go outside the city, follow the route of the secret letter to pick me up, and you must get Edmund's secret letter back to me as soon as possible." The Great Elder said uneasily in his heart, he always felt as if a knife was on top of his head, and he could cut it down at any time, and the sense of urgency in his heart was very strong.
"Yes." Seeing the appearance of the Great Elder, the elder was also nervous, and he didn't care about resigning, so he turned around and left.
After Anakin left, the Great Elder looked at the battle report in front of him very eyesore, and always felt that this battle report was not simple, but he couldn't say what was wrong, but he just felt that he should stay away from such a battle report. It's just that Anakin has already left, so he can only put it away for the time being.
"Is it Lord Anakin? Just now the military department has an urgent document that you need to deal with. "Just as Anakin hurriedly left the Grand Elder's Mansion and went home to fetch his mount, a herald blocked him.
"I have urgent matters now, I need to leave immediately, and I still have to wait for me to come back." Anakin said impatiently.
"However, it was an urgent document for Lord Svein, and Lord Svein was about to attend a meeting of the High Command, so there was no room for delay." When the herald saw that Anakin wanted to leave, he immediately stopped in front and said eagerly.
"High Command?" Hearing this, Anakin immediately stopped, this is his own job, and going outside the city to get a letter is a private matter, if his work is delayed because of private affairs, and it is something that the High Command needs to use, then he doesn't have to do it.
"Okay, I'll go over right away." Anakin could only compromise, and then followed the herald back to his office.
Anakin thought he was just looking for some documents, but when he heard the herald's request, Anakin knew that he wouldn't want to go out for a while. Moreover, in the process of preparing the materials by himself, the herald was by his side, and he called it a help, which made it impossible for him to go out and pass on a word. This made Anakin more and more anxious, and could only pray that the messenger had already passed the secret letter back at this time, and there was no need to pick it up himself.
Unfortunately, just as Anakin had to stay in the office to work on the papers, the messenger was also in trouble, and in order to capture a robber, the messenger was waiting anxiously at one of the many checkpoints set up around Noxus.
