Chapter 67: Charles iQue ♵

When the audience was over, Princess Futh took Charles out of the main hall, Charles remembered that he didn't know what the decoration of the hall was, and who were the nobles with real power in the hall, and just now he was only interested in admiring the image of the sine function.

"Your Excellency, please follow me to the treasury to pick up weapons. Fut came up to Charles and said to him.

"There's no hurry. Charles replied, "Let's go to the Marquis of Lorenz and hear the information of the soldiers who have escaped from the basin, and then we will go and choose the right weapons." ”

Then Princess Fut began to hesitate, and she said with some embarrassment: "I can't go to the Praetorian Guard's station. ”

Charles understands in seconds, when the crown prince colludes with the Praetorian Guard, which king can eat and sleep well? Although the Praetorian Guard already has the rank of king, unlike a certain army.

He said to Futh, "Just ask the princess to bring me to the gate of the station." ”

The Janissaries of the Kingdom had two garrisons, one guarding the palace and the headquarters of the palace near the palace, and the other being a camp outside the city.

In his office in the Praetorian Guard's office, Charles, accompanied by Lorenz, listened to a briefing by the Praetorian Guard officers.

The royal capital was located in the transition from mountains to plains, and in the west of it was mountainous, but in the mountains there was a flat basin surrounded by mountains with a radius of nearly thirty kilometers. This basin surrounded by mountains and rich water and soil is the most important direct domain of the royal family. The basin is connected to the outside world by a Kulun Gorge that is only twenty or thirty meters wide, and its exit is only four or five kilometers away from the royal capital.

Now the demonic beasts in the mountainous area, which were originally divided into kings, were unified by an unknown demonic beast, and then almost the entire basin was washed in blood.

Now the kingdom is worried that these demonic beasts will rush out of the mountains and attack the royal capital and the surrounding area.

"What kind of monsters have been discovered so far?" Charles asked.

Then the eyes were turned to a haggard knight with his right arm broken at elbow, who was one of the men who had escaped from the basin.

"Report to Lord Duke, as far as I can see, the monsters are the Bladetooth Tiger, the Wolf Dread, the Giant Jackal-toothed Beast, the Fine-toothed Bear, and the Great Ape, and I don't know the rest. The Knight-Broken-Arm said.

Charles frowned, these are not easy to deal with, not only are they difficult to deal with, but they can also use their own instinctive magic.

The teeth of the Bladetooth Tiger are indestructible when strengthened by magic, the wolf has its own aura of fear, the skin of the giant jackal-toothed beast is strengthened, and the strength of the fine-toothed giant bear and the giant ape is strengthened, and these magic that relies on the instinct of the monster itself is not much weaker than that of human magicians.

"We don't have much time left. Lorenz said worriedly, "Now the demonic beasts in the basin are feeding on the livestock in the farm, so they haven't rushed out for the time being. It is estimated that the livestock in the basin will be eaten up in half a month. ”

Charles was stunned for a moment, this RPG game is still easy and difficult, if the other party said that those monsters would rush over at sunrise tomorrow, he would have a headache. Now that he has money, people and time, it's not like he can pass by lying down.

After thinking for a moment, Charles asked, "If the monsters were to leave the basin, would they go through the canyon or over the mountains?"

"Walk through the canyon. Lorenz was familiar with the terrain around the royal capital, "The mountains in the eastern part of the basin are all steep cliffs, even if they are magical beasts, it is difficult to overcome. ”

Charles then asked the knight with the broken arm who had escaped, "Have you ever seen a flying beast?"

The knight with the broken arm thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No." ”

Charles breathed a sigh of relief, and the difficulty was greatly reduced.

Then he asked Lorenz, "Are those monsters difficult to deal with?"

"If it's just a monster, it takes three of our boys to deal with it easily. But in the wild, a hundred demonic beasts can wipe out an army of three hundred young men. Lorenz replied.

Charles thought for a moment and continued to ask, "What if it's a fortification defense at the exit of the canyon?"

Lorenz understood what Charles meant, thinking that he needed someone to delay time, "With the help of fortifications, the casualties of the lads will naturally be much lower, and they can delay for a lot of time." But we don't have that many people to build the fortifications. ”

Then he made a request to Lorenz: "Your Excellency, Marquis, please take the trouble to prepare for me a set of light armor, a flat shield, a stack of parchment, a few quills, and a few bottles of ink. The most important is a scout who is extremely familiar with the canyon, and an experienced engineer commander. ”

Lorenz readily agreed to Charles's request.

When Charles changed into a light armor and rode his horse out of the Praetorian Guard's station, he saw Princess Futh waiting for him outside the station. At the same time, a knight in golden ornate armor was talking to her.

Seeing Charles in light armor riding over, Fut was stunned for a moment, and then a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face, like a little girl bumping into a parent while talking to a boy on the side of the road.

Charles was confused, what are you embarrassed about, I'm not your father yet?

Then he saw the young man like a golden peacock beside Fute, a handsome man who was loved by everyone and saw flowers blooming.

Charles did not dismount, he said to Fute on his horse: "Her Royal Highness Princess Rau is waiting for a long time, I will immediately go to the Cullen Gorge to reconnoiter the terrain, and when I return, Princess Rau will take me to the treasure house." ”

Fute was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Charles to go to the canyon at this time, and then said, "Do you need me to go with you?"

"Come along if you want. Charles said to her.

After the two finished talking, the golden peacock on the side gave Charles a knightly salute and said, "It's an honor to meet you, Earl Macgardenen, I am the Marquis Peter Seman, the head of the Royal Knights." ”

"Hello, Marquis de Zeeman. Charles said to him.

Zeeman said to Charles: "Earl of Maccaden, I grew up with Her Royal Highness the Princess since childhood......"

Charles looked at the other party who blew up his relationship with the princess with a caring smile, you introduced yourself with your own household registration book, and people who don't know still think that you are sitting in this position by settling with the princess.

But he soon realized that taking away other people's childhood sweethearts in front of others and running around in the field didn't seem to have a good impact.

So he said to the princess: "Since the princess has something to do, then there is no need to go with me to the Cullen Canyon, I can go by myself, and take my leave." ”

After Charles had finished speaking, he rode away with two men borrowed from the Praetorian Guard.
