Not long ago, the emperor's favorite concubine Rebecca was brutally kidnapped, and her whereabouts are unknown, and the church mobilized dozens of priests to join forces to carry out divination and prophecy, and Rebecca's location could not be found. And not long after that, even the emperor's favorite princess, Lilith, disappeared, and she disappeared in the imperial capital!

"Needless to say, it must have been a good deed done by the thieves of that alliance!"

Several captains of the city defense army gathered together and held an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures, at which several captains completely abandoned the dignity of the imperial nobles and quarreled with each other. Because if they continue to abide by red tape, I am afraid that before they can discuss a result, the executioner who carried out the death sentence will come to see him with a knife.

"Search the whole city, don't care so much, even if you may offend one or two nobles, it is better than offending Your Majesty. ”

"It's easy to say, that's all there is to manpower, and the result of the whole city casting a net is the whole city slipping through the net...... What does the church say?"

"If the church is really reliable, the imperial concubine will not be hijacked...... Don't put your hopes in prophecy, study where the thief might be hiding, and find him out on your own. ”

"If it works on her own, the imperial concubine won't be robbed in the barracks of the porcupine legion in Gulan City...... The opponent is obviously not something that ordinary soldiers can deal with. ”

"Damn, what do you mean?

"It's nothing, just a reminder that you don't have such good expectations for the future...... Anyway, I already wrote a suicide note before I came, and I was beheaded by His Majesty. ”

"Day ......"

After some quarrels, there was no plan to get it, but the morale of the captains dropped significantly.

The guards of the Imperial City of the Imperial Capital were all elite soldiers no less than the Guards Legion, but in the face of that Alliance assassin, the elite soldiers alone were obviously not enough.

"The other party is a top player, it is impossible for ordinary people to find him alone, and the crowd tactics are just a waste of time...... At most, it's a statement that we've done our best. ”

"Tsk, what's wrong with the top players? Isn't there a top player in the Empire? What about the thieves of the Shadow Council? What do they say?"

"They said that they were searching with all their might, but there was no guarantee of the result, and the strength of the opponent was beyond imagination. ”

"Tsk, those imaginary thieves...... Tell them that if they can't find anyone, don't blame us for uprooting them from the imperial capital!"

"Hey, the alliance thieves haven't found out yet, so let's not fight among ourselves first. ”

"Cut, what kind of infighting is it to kill a few thieves from the Shadow Council?"

“......”

When he was helpless, a young captain suddenly ran in: "Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine has arrived!"

The captains of the room were all stunned, as if they had seen a ghost: "Your Majesty the Imperial Princess!?"

The young man hurriedly explained: "It's not Princess Rebecca, it's Princess Meryl!"

"Tsk, is that the sheriff of the imperial capital?"

"It's over......"

Emperor Charlotte does not raise vases, more than a dozen imperial concubines each have different abilities, this Meryl is the youngest among the imperial concubines, but she has quite outstanding brains and martial arts, and now she is working part-time as the magistrate of the imperial capital, and she doesn't shoot often, but every time she shoots, she will definitely gain something.

However, if the situation is forced to require Meryl to take action, the fate of the Imperial Capital Guards is usually not very good, so when the news of Meryl's arrival came, the captains' faces were not good-looking.

"Tsk, if you don't like me coming, then you can fight for some anger, do you think I'm willing to run around at night?"

Outside the conference room, a casual and free woman's voice came, and the captains felt the muscles on their bodies tighten, and a purple figure had rushed in with a flower in front of them. ...,

With long purple hair, a purple tight-fitting dress, and a cold and arrogant smile floating on the corners of his mouth, it was the top boss of the captains, Princess Meryl.

"I thought you could discuss the clues in your emergency meeting, but when you got closer, you only heard a bunch of useless rubbish complaining, and some people even wrote suicide notes?

As soon as she opened her mouth, it was a ginseng rooster and a map cannon, and Meryl's strength and even arrogance were fully revealed, but the captain present didn't even dare to raise his head to look at her, let alone be annoyed.

Meryl is not a vulgar and rude princess, but when she is in a bad mood, her mouth never knows how to show mercy. A whole afternoon has passed, and there is still no clue about Princess Lilith, and these captains themselves feel sorry for the people of the motherland, sorry for the love of the royal family, not to mention Meryl, who is in charge of public security.

"If you have a quarrel, why don't you seriously move your rusty heads, the other party is hiding in this city, hiding in our home field, but so far there is not even a trace of it, in fact, there are very few places where they may be hiding, don't you think!?"

Meryl said, making a few comparisons on the map of the imperial capital hanging on the wall of the conference room: "The population of the imperial capital is close to one million, and the area of the city is not small. However, it is not difficult to judge from the location of Her Royal Highness Lilith's disappearance, there are only a few possible hiding places for the other party, if you find the right location and search in the first place, it will not drag on for so long. ”

As she spoke, Meryl drew a few circles on the map with her finger: "These are the places, judging from the missing places, there are not many places that can be easily reached and have hiding places. ”

The eyes of several captains followed the princess's fingers on the map, although they felt that Her Royal Highness Meryl's thinking was really jumping, but seeing the location of those circles, everyone had to admit that Her Highness's vision was indeed unique.

But...... Since she had already guessed it, why didn't she do it earlier?

"Nonsense, if I had known, of course I would have come forward to capture that thief. It's a shame that by the time I got the news, more than two hours had passed. The man had long since shifted his location and was nowhere to be found. ”

From the time the Imperial Capital Guard found out that Princess Lilith was missing, until the news reached Meryl's ears, it took two hours, and the key was that the captain of the Imperial Capital Guard pressed the news, thinking that he could save the princess as soon as possible. As a result, by the time he realized that he couldn't do it, the most precious time had already been lost.

Hearing this, several captains in the conference room suddenly realized a problem, the emergency meeting was requested by the captain, but they haven't seen the captain's figure until now, is it ......

Meryl snorted: "That waste has been disposed of, so you have to work hard, do a good job, maybe you can be promoted to captain~"

Meryl may have wanted to boost her morale, but as soon as the cold lines came out, the temperature in the entire conference room dropped by a few degrees.

Seeing that the encouragement was ineffective, Meryl's heart became even more irritable, and it took a great deal of concentration to barely suppress her urge to explode.

"Okay, no more nonsense, it's been so long now, and the other party hasn't taken any action, neither tearing up the ticket nor making any demands on us, obviously the purpose is not just Her Highness Lilith. The other party ran all the way to the capital of the empire, and the plot was not small. At present, we should be waiting for our first move, and then according to the flaws in the transfer, we will carry out the second step of the plan, that is, the second step of the plan, that is, the preemptive ......."

Meryl said, pacing around the map for a few laps before asking, "What do you guys think?"

The captains looked at each other, and after a moment someone cautiously suggested: "Why don't you talk to him openly and honestly, and ask him what he wants first?",

Meryl glanced at him, "He wants the palace, can I give it?"

The captain was frightened by the imperial concubine's reject, but he still insisted on saying: "The price is all over the sky, and the money is paid on the ground, as long as he is willing to come forward to negotiate, we will have a chance." ”

"Are you sure?"

Of course, the captain was not sure! But now, he could only nod his head stubbornly: "As long as there is Her Royal Highness the Imperial Princess, we will be invincible!"

"Well said. Meryl laughed happily, and when she saw Her Royal Highness's smile, the captain was also relieved, and said that he had finally passed this level.

Meryl's next sentence took a sharp turn: "Pack up and go home." ”

"Huh?!"

"Originally, my IQ is not high, and I still allocate limited resources to sneak around, how can you let me trust your business ability? I can't even do my job well, why should I leave you in the guard for a vegetarian meal? You are not from a wealthy aristocratic family, I can't take care of your family's face. ”

As she spoke, Meryl waved her hand unceremoniously, and the captain's face was as dead as ashes, but he didn't dare to say anything more, and fled from the conference room in embarrassment.

"Okay, who else has an opinion next?"

No one spoke.

"Okay, since you don't have any ideas, let's do what I think. But in the front, if someone doesn't cooperate well in the process, then go and accompany the person just now, just a few more people are going to get out, and I'm ready to recruit some new people. ”

After speaking, Meryl turned to face the map and sketched it in detail with a pen: "Since the other party wants to strike backwards, we will give him this opportunity...... John, in an hour your team will be removed from here, and the others will not fill in the gap, leaving a gap to come out, but don't make it too obvious. Then Edward, you lead the team to camp here, you don't need to hide your tracks, you can't hide anyway, you can just get there. Then, this position should be heavily armed, and it is best to gather three or four squads of people together, and then I will also send some dream builders from the palace to guard against ......."

With Meryl's hurried words, all the captains lifted their spirits, lest they miss a syllable.

Next, it will be a thrilling battle!
