Chapter 100: Variables
In the eyes of General Posado, if it were not for the fuse of the Night Race, it seemed that his own seizure of the position of the Grand Duke of Efe would still be a distant matter. www.biquge.info But now, the situation is under its control.
The Bear Cavalry, the most famous legion in the Half-Moon Alliance, may seem mysterious to others, but Posador is all too familiar with it. Many years ago, when the Grand Duke of Efe officially authorized him to take charge of this cavalry regiment, Posador was almost terrified. Because the previous general before him was executed for an inexplicable crime.
The reason why the Efe Grand Guild is so sensitive to this position is because the "War Bear" is the sharp knife power of the entire Duchy. The Duchy of Finir has not been at war for a long time, and there is no need for the Clan to intervene against the Templar army of the Night Race. As a result, most of the army was scattered throughout the principality, with only the strongest forces stationed nearby.
It can be said that once whoever controls this force is equivalent to controlling the military lifeline of the principality.
But General Posaddo did it. After his ascension, the power of the marquis not only did not fall, but continued to rise with the support of the Grand Duke of Efe, reaching the Count of Baria, the wife of the Grand Duke.
Although it is said that the high place is unbearable, the general made full use of his political skills to secretly manipulate the trend of many events, including the appointment and dismissal of major personnel. His role in it is often indirect, and it is not muddy at all, so it has never been noticed.
This time, he won't have to be a man with his tail between his legs as he used to. After introducing the War Bear Cavalry Regiment under his actual control to the city of Ontario, in a short period of time, he could reach the peak of power in Ontario.
However, in this process, there is still one thing that he is not completely satisfied with, and that is that his intentions were revealed earlier. It has to be said that the old fox Duke Baria has a very keen sense of smell. Fortunately, the matter has become a foregone conclusion, and there is no force that can stop him.
Around the small chapel, the Duchy guards who were supposed to be surrounding the front were all gone. The Marquis stepped on the war horse, the tip of the sword pointed forward, and the momentum was majestic.
The War Bear Cavalry Regiment did not surround it, because everything inside meant nothing to them. Some goblin archers set the tips of their arrows on fire, and hundreds of rockets rained down on the spire, floor, and walls of the Sanctuary, with many going directly into the Sanctuary.
So the scene of the burning of the church some time ago was played out here again. Strangely, there was no clergy in the small sanctuary throughout, and according to intelligence, the old paladin Herbert and the other high-ranking members of the templar should have been in the meeting.
"General, do you need to hunt down those rebellious Light Races in the city?" A kobold staff officer next to him asked.
"What do you think?" Posado asked rhetorically.
Although he didn't expect the general's questioning, as the commander of the War Bear Cavalry Regiment, the kobold was not a showman. He shook his head and said, "In my opinion, General, your purpose today is not to clean up these clergy, the most important thing is to remove the Grand Duke of Efe from power. As for these clergy, we can leave them for later. ”
Posadore patted the kobold on the shoulder and smiled uncomfortably: "It seems that as my staff officer, you are really a little condescending. When we take the Grand Duke's Palace, the general's position will be yours. ”
The kobold was flattered and was about to say something, when someone came to report that the six killers sent out in advance had all failed to assassinate and were subsequently killed by the "cleanups".
General Posado was expressionless, and asked again, "Is there any movement from the ambush guards guarding the other three city gates?" ”
"General, three scouts have just come to report that neither the Grand Duke of Efe nor the Duke of Baria have escaped from the city. And just now I inquired, the Duke of Baria has just entered the public security office, surrounded by many guards, and it seems that there is some secret operation. ”
"Covert operations?" Posado's right hand tightly grasped the hilt of the long sword at his waist, his brows furrowed slightly, and the two mustaches in front of his mouth also showed a fierce momentum, "What, does this old guy still want to resist?" ”
The kobold couldn't help but whisper, "My lord, do you still have any secret armies at your disposal for Grand Duke Efe and Duke Barria?" ”
"Impossible, absolutely impossible." Posado's voice was firm, "If those two old things really have a hand, they can't be airtight. Over the years, I have planted many eyeliners around them, and their every move is under my control. ”
But even so, Posador already had some kind of bad premonition in his heart. He sent an order to leave the church alone for the time being, and to march in the direction of the sheriff's office with all his might, and to find the whereabouts of the Grand Duke of Efe with all his might.
Half an hour later, with the exception of some of the people who had been assigned to search and arrest along the street, the War Bear Cavalry Regiment arrived at the door of the public security administration in a rampant manner. The infantry at the front stopped and waited for instructions from General Posado.
However, the scene in front of him was so quiet that Posador asked the kobold next to him with a serious face, "Are you sure that old thing in Barria is in here?" It won't be the same again as in the Sanctuary. ”
"This time it's our people who are in charge of keeping an eye on it, and there will never be a problem like that."
Posado snorted coldly: "If the people are gone again, then you can go to hell instead of them." ”
This time Posador did not take the form of a fire attack. His men have a variety of attack forms that can be adjusted to suit the situation. Now his aim is to capture alive the Duke of Baria and the Grand Duke of Efe, and all destructive weapons cannot be used.
"Shoot the arrows!"
With General Posado's order, the arrows that were not coated with combustibles were released by the archers. A rain of arrows flew frantically towards the courtyard. According to Posado's thoughts, a rain of arrows fell, and the guards in the courtyard were almost half dead and wounded.
After a quasi-gold-level vanguard broke through the heavy wooden door with a vindictive-infused sword, a number of goblins with short blades rushed in with the spearmen. The spearmen were responsible for dealing with the guards, and the short-bladed goblins were tasked with finding the right moment to take control of the Duke of Baria and the other nobles. They are agile and skillful, and they really belong to the kind of guy who takes the head of the enemy among tens of millions of people.
