Chapter 481 The third set of plans
"Report! According to the news from the third surveillance point, a large number of warships have appeared in the sea area there, and it is conservatively estimated that there are at least ten or more. ”
Elio was having dinner with several of the Empire's top brass when an Empire liaison pushed the door open and walked in, reporting loudly.
"Dangchang!"
The fat duke Daniel threw down his fork unhappily, picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, and seemed very unhappy that someone had disturbed his meal.
"I'm sorry, Duke Daniel, but I told the soldiers to do this."
Elio explained in a gentle voice:
"Even though I'm the commander, I still have to share the information with everyone, so I didn't ask them to report it privately, but told it in front of everyone."
"Well, that's right."
Originally, Daniel looked at the liaison soldier with a vicious gaze, he had never let go of the person who offended him, and he was thinking in his heart about how to give the other party a little color.
But after hearing Elio's words, the hatred in his expression immediately dissipated a lot, and a trace of satisfaction appeared in his narrow eyes:
He tried his best to participate in this operation, but in fact it was just gilding and fishing for a sum of oil and water, and he was not arranged in the most critical position, and the other party was obviously putting gold on his face when he said this.
"Ten warships, if they are all large ships, I am afraid that only Truis can mobilize so many troops in a short period of time."
One of the one-eyed generals said, "We'd better get into battle at once, or we're likely to be attacked; This is at sea, and the side that fires the cannon after it will always fall into passivity. ”
"There is no need to be in such a hurry to fight, I think the other party appeared near the coastline so swaggeringly, just deliberately let us discover them, and we should have the intention of testing."
An old magician, sitting across from him, said:
"This time the matter is very important, even if the Order knows something. will also choose to communicate with us secretly, so that we can share a piece of cake safely, and no one wants other forces to be involved. ”
"Do you have any markings on those ships?"
Elio was silent for a moment, then asked.
"It's the sign of Truis and Sadara, Commander."
The liaison soldier was a little sweaty from being stared at by the fat duke just now, and it was only now that he recovered.
In Harlem. The great nobles and high magicians have all kinds of privileges, and although the other party does not dare to kill him, they can make a mere liaison soldier miserable.
"Ha, Boris, reality has given you a resounding slap in the face."
A slender old man dressed in luxurious clothes gloated and laughed:
"Truiz are all mongrels, and all that is in their minds is to go to bed except to pray, and it is very stupid for you to speculate about their behavior with the thinking of a normal person."
The old magician's temper seemed to be very hot, and when he heard this, he stretched out his fist and smashed it on the table:
"Shut your mouth. Isido; You idiot who can't do anything but eat! ”
"Isido, Boris, stop for a moment."
Elio reached out and pressed it to stop them from arguing:
"We don't know exactly what the situation is yet, so it's better to send someone to talk to the other party......"
"I can't talk about anything."
Dulagal, who was sitting beside him, rarely put on the appearance of a great sage, and said with a solemn face:
"The other party must have gotten some news, but they are not sure if they can get enough benefits on it, so they are just waiting from the sidelines."
He got up from his seat:
"Once we take the initiative to go over and negotiate with them. It is tantamount to admitting that some important activity is being carried out, otherwise with the majesty of the empire. It is impossible to put on a compromise attitude. ”
"Well said, Your Excellency Duragar."
Elio bowed slightly:
"I think the same as you, so I'm going to implement the third plan."
"The third plan, do you want to throw that bait?"
The one-eyed general leaned slightly:
"Wouldn't that be too cheap for them?"
"Don't forget what we're for."
Elio also stood up, propped his hands on the table and said:
"We must do whatever it takes to fulfill the mission given to us by His Majesty, compared to this matter. What is a mere bait? ”
"Majesty? Scold. ”
A young man, who was always eating with his head down, raised his head and looked at him with sarcastic eyes:
"Obviously you are carrying out the orders of the second prince and that woman, but you have to be in the name of Your Majesty, Elio, you are getting more and more depraved...... What the! ”
He fell backwards in shock.
"Click!"
The table in front of him was suddenly split in half. Drinks and vegetable juices were spilled on the floor, and many of them were spilled on him.
The dining etiquette of the nobles of the empire caused the crowd to sit very scattered, so no one else was implicated, and the long table had many legs, and this time it was split cleanly, and he was the only one who fell to the ground in a wolf.
"Watch your words."
The man who shot said in a deep voice, and inserted the sword in his hand back into his waist.
"Lei Zhe, you madman!"
The young man gritted his teeth and jumped up from the ground: "You dare to draw your sword at me, come on!" ”
He wanted to call out to his guards as he usually would, when he suddenly realized that they weren't around.
"Don't go in."
Hearing his shout, the two swordsmen in magical armor outside were about to rush inside, but they were immediately stopped by the guards at the door:
"This is where Commander Elio dins and entertains dignitaries, and trespassing is a felony."
At this time, Lei Zhe had already walked back to his position, and the young man did not encounter any more danger, the two glanced at each other, and retreated to the side with an unwilling expression.
"Let's go."
A cold voice rang out.
A girl with long silver hair appeared in the doorway.
She carried a long sword behind her back, a dagger hanging from her waist, and two slender legs wrapped in black stockings, on which she wore a unisex swordsman's suit.
This kind of dress is actually somewhat nondescript, but there is no sense of disobedience in this girl, with her slender figure and suffocating beauty, it makes people look bright.
When the guards saw the comer, their bodies shook slightly, and they bowed their heads one after another.
Then the two guards who stopped in front of the door respectfully stepped back and let her in.
"Isn't this Her Royal Highness the Princess of Westminster?"
The fat duke shook his glass twice:
"Elio, your face is really not small, I heard that she never attends banquets."
"Westminster? What kind of place is that. "Not everyone in this room has ever heard of that name.
"A small country in the south of the continent, originally there was nothing to pay special attention to, but recently it has ......"
The crowd began to whisper, and no one knew what the silver-haired princess, who had gained fame in recent years, was doing here. (To be continued......)
