Chapter 156: Negotiations

There was not a single soldier guarding the gate of the palace.

Ayef quickly returned to the gate of the palace with the patrol of Siwa, and at this time many citizens were gathered nearby, because it was the palace, and even if there was no one to guard it, ordinary people would not dare to enter rashly, and if they were discovered, they would be dealt with.

"Give it all up, let it all go. Alif walked in with the team from the center of the standing crowd.

"You, take your troops to guard the gates of the palace, and don't let the idlers in. ”

"Yes, General Ayeve. The soldier replied.

What a mistake it is that the palace is not guarded, Alif thought angrily in his heart, if the safety of the chiefs and princesses and princes is threatened, who will be responsible for this price, I really don't know which guard captain is on duty today, this kind of mistake is enough for him to deal with the whipping.

"The rest of you come with me. Alif said.

He is responsible for the daily patrols of Siwa City, and the soldiers he carries with him will not exceed 1,000, but they are all elites.

What the hell is going on, why can't there be a single soldier in the palace, and there is not a single soldier when he comes in through the door all the way, Al Yif can't help but feel a little nervous, what happened, and what the explosion just now.

Thinking about all the possibilities in his heart, only the Asta Empire Expeditionary Force that was invited yesterday morning had come to the palace, could it be them?

No, why should the empire target Siwa, if they want to attack, they can lead a large army over, Siwa City is not an opponent of the Asta Empire at all, there is no need to send such a team to the palace to assassinate.

I'm constantly comforting myself, but I can't think of any other reason.

If he had a choice, the last thing Alif wanted to do was to face an enemy like the Empire, he was a battle commander who had been invited to the imperial capital of the Asta Empire, and after seeing the Empire's millions of heroes with his own eyes, he would rather face any enemy in the desert than compete with the Empire.

Hitting a stone with an egg will not end well, and even in the desert he is familiar with, Ayef cannot find any reason why the desert nations can defeat the Asta Empire.

Bypassing the outer defensive walls, the troops entered the inner level, where the palace belonged.

"General, look over there. A soldier called out to himself.

Ayef looked in the direction the soldier was pointing, and there were corpses lying all over the place.

There are Siwa wizards, werewolves, and even soldiers in the armor of the Asta Empire.

This...... What the hell is going on, has it been attacked by werewolves? At a glance, there are traces of battle and countless corpses, I am afraid that the garrison of the entire palace is already here, and there are more werewolf corpses, and he noticed that many werewolves are still wearing the clothes of soldiers in Siwa City.

"You come with me!" said Ayeve, who led his troops deeper into the direction.

It was a palace for distinguished guests, and he remembered that almost all the famous people came to visit Siwa City, or the palace ministers of other desert countries would be arranged to stay in that place.

Approaching the yard there was a strong smell of burning.

Because he ran fast, the first soldier to rush in almost didn't fall into the pit, but was fortunately stopped by the following Al Yves.

How can there be a huge pit here, looking at this huge pit with a radius of several hundred meters, the bottom is already black sand that has been blown up, and the buildings in the desert place are built on sand.

What kind of magic is such a big pit attacked by, I think of a person in my head.

I guess no one else has such strength except him, Grand Magister Edmund.

"General, what shall we do?" Along the way, there were no chiefs and other people except for the corpses and the big pit, and the soldiers couldn't help but feel anxious.

"Don't worry, let me think. ”

The chief is supposed to be heavily protected, and he is usually in his dormitory, but that place is too spacious and the most likely to be trapped.

"Let's go to the reception hall!" he said after a moment's thought, leading the group in the other direction.

..............................

Edmund was sitting in the main hall with all the generals, and next to him was Princess Kajimi, who had been crying since she sat down.

Al on the side wanted to go up and dissuade him, but he was grabbed by Cyra.

Wang Chu looked at Lias and Lucia and was also a little puzzled, but they didn't show so excitement, they knew the whole thing Princess Kajimi didn't know, and the other party had the intention of killing the royal family before, why did they ask her like this.

Maybe what they wanted wasn't an explanation or anything like that, Wang Chu thought to himself.

"Although we probably all know what happened, as the royal family of Siwa City, you should also give us an explanation that Hajar City has paid such a big sacrifice. Edmund finally reminded.

After all, so many people looked at a little girl, what could they do if they spread the reputation of their great magister.

"But, I ...... I've told you all I know, Uncle Reggie, no...... It's the bastard of Alareji, who has always pretended to be loyal, but secretly colluded with the people of the Wolf God Cult to use the power of the Wolf God to achieve his goals. ”

Wolf God Sect, Wang Chu secretly wrote down the name of this organization.

According to Gulanna told herself, the wolf god and the eagle god have always been the symbols of the strongest creatures and guardian gods in the desert region, especially the more powerful wolf god, whose remains have been studied as treasures by wizards.

Could it be a gang......

Kajimi still didn't say what Edmund wanted uh, and the old man's face looked a little displeased.

At this time, the soldiers outside came to report that there was a team, and the soldiers from Siwa City had come.

"The soldiers of Siwa?, are there other regiments of soldiers in Siwa City?" asked Edmund.

"There are also patrols in the city of Alif. Kajimi replied.

The people of Al Yif remembered the general who greeted their team, and they had the impression that he was not bad...... It's okay to come, let him come.

Edmund and the other generals had Alif brought in him.

Alif, who had just entered the door, saw Kajimi crying.

"Princess, princess...... What's wrong with you?" he ran over and half-knelt in front of him.

Edmund told everything that had happened, and there was nothing hidden in it, and this time the expeditionary force did suffer great losses.

"Since this is the result, damn Alareji, I have long seen that there is something abnormal, but I didn't expect it to be like this. Alif angrily slapped the ground.

"Since the general is also here, then I will also tell you about the follow-up. Edmund looked at several generals and Master Madias, and they all nodded.

Oh, I'm finally willing to say it!

"This time, Hajar City has lost a lot of high-quality troops, and even added an imperial squad, we must give an explanation to the imperial capital for this matter...... But don't worry, the whole thing has nothing to do with you after all, you are also a victim. He kept staring at the expressions of the two of them, changing his tone.

"We are also victims of the Wolf God Cult, we should be more united, I suggest that Princess Kajimi follow us to the imperial capital, and we will all explain to the king. ”

"Then I'll go with the princess. "Ayeves offered to ask.

"I'm afraid now is not the time for the general to leave, Siwa City has suffered such a big loss and even the chieftain is unfortunately killed, Siwa City needs a person who can speak to preside over the overall situation, rest assured that we will protect the safety of Princess Kajimi. ”

I see, Wang Chu smiled secretly.

is ready to come to ask for benefits, the asta empire is vast, and it has always been ignored that something happened in the west this time, and it is estimated that it will only blame the lord city of Hajar in the west, Edmund wants to make an alliance between the two sides, and it is estimated that it is open to trade and taxes, and various unequal treaties that can control each other.

As for blackmailing the princess, it is nothing more than for this general to see.

There is only one weak girl left in the royal family, and it is easy to become a second puppet, and if she comes to the empire to tell her, she is also telling the Ayeves that the empire recognizes only the princess, not him.
