Chapter 272: Hostage Countermeasures
readx;
Fan and Avi both thought that Stitch was talking about it again, but they didn't expect Stitch to really think of a specific plan, a plan that might protect everyone. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Stitch claimed that he had come up with a plan overnight, that he planned to unite with other envoys in the Kingdom of Salins, and hire the mercenary groups who remained in the city but remained neutral, using the newly built diplomatic residence of the Oguna Empire as the center, to rival Queen Rosemund, the temporary ruler of Mallot.
"Queen Rosemond is most likely in control, she said that if King Byron is dead, then King Byron is dead, and she said that the child in her womb is the prince, then the prince," Stitch pointed to Mallott on the map, "but no matter how ambitious she is, she can't make enemies to everyone in such a short time, so we have to unite the envoys of other countries." In order to avoid taking the initiative in this dispute, and even play a more important role after the future kingdom stabilizes, it will depend on the outcome of our plan this time!"
A thirteen-year-old aristocratic imp suddenly showed a high fighting spirit, his eyes were full of statesmania, and at the same time he had the posture of a politician. The Imperial diplomat standing next to Stitch was stunned for a second and immediately applauded, and Avi quickly translated for Sango, who was also relieved.
"That sounds like a good idea..."The thought of being able to stand up to the queen gave Prince Bradley a better chance of regaining control of Mallot's and ascending the throne, and perhaps he could convince Stitch to side with Prince Bradley.
Queen Rosemund's expulsion of the three princes from Mallot, even if this was what King Byron meant, would be extremely risky and would worsen the situation. So I guess Queen Rosemund's must still be on a close relationship with one of the princes... I'm guessing it's the second prince Ansoe!Ansoil is now back to his territory, maybe he's gathering his forces and ready to come back here to deal with the other two princes!So let's move quickly, I'll start arranging your mission!"
"I heard that this young lady is a top student of the Kestrel Military Academy, why don't you listen to her opinion?" The imperial diplomat also noticed the disdain on the red-haired girl's face.
"I don't have any opinion, just do what Lord Stitch wants," Felisti seemed to have noticed the unfriendliness in her expression, and she immediately retracted, "Also, Lord Stitch is also a top student of the Kestrel Military Academy, this time will be a good opportunity for Lord Stitch, the imperial hostage, to play a role, I am optimistic about you!" The red-haired girl turned her gaze to Stitch at the last second and pushed Stitch with an approving look.
Fan also said: "Of course, I don't have any opinions on being a guard... But can we really do such a thing so smoothly under the Queen's nose? There are a lot of patrols out there..."
"Avi! Fan! It depends on the ability of the two of you!" Stitch's grin made Fan want to beat him, "The diplomatic envoys of other countries will be handed over to the diplomatic envoys of our empire to contact, and those mercenary groups that use their strength and can be bribed will be handed over to the two of you, go and return quickly!"
It wasn't until Avi and Fan were "pushed" out of the mansion that Avi realized that Stitch didn't have to take any risks when he told the plan, and that he and Fan were the most dangerous.
The big-nosed fan let out a long sigh, "It's over, I thought I could get protection with this aristocratic imp, but I didn't expect that the identity of the guard is still a guard, but the status of the guard is lower than that of a civilian... If you're caught by a patrol on the way to find a mercenary, you remember to save me..."Fan finished and punched Avi hard.
"If you're caught, I'll too..."
"I'll just go to the mercenary myself, you... You can find something to do on your own, but staying in the mansion may lead to other more dangerous missions assigned by Stitch, and I suggest you go back to the Kestrel Academy to find out what happens. That's it, I'm leaving!" Van took the identity certificate of the Imperial Envoy that Stitch had given him, and walked out of the diplomatic residence with his head down.
Felistie didn't say anything when she appeared behind Avi, she patted Avi's right shoulder, but stood on Avi's left, "I don't have anything to do, why don't we act together?"
Still stunned in place, Avi, who didn't know what to do, asked: "Fan said that he would go to the mercenary market to find a mercenary group by himself, since he decided to do it himself, then we will be disliked in the past..."
"So you're going to be a turtle with a shrunken head and stay here to be protected by the high walls?" Felisty walked up to Avi, who had already changed her appearance to Jieko, but it was only for a very brief moment before Avi could see the other person's true face.
"My sword!" Avi noticed Felisty draw his sword, but he didn't notice it.
"Huh," Felisty noticed something strange in Avi's eyes, and she threw the white lion sword back into Avi's hand, "By the way, I want to go to the Kestrel Academy to have a look, you care about Miss Christine, right?
"Probably gone, but when you mentioned it, I suddenly remembered someone. ”
Avi took Felistie to Mallot's prison, where the two of them were stopped several times by patrols on the road, and both of them evaded the scrutiny as a Kestrel Academy student.
"You said the guy named Joan was still serving his sentence?" Felisty followed behind Avi, who spent three gold coins for Avi to get a chance to meet the prisoner.
"Well, yes, he still has a few months left in his sentence, but I'm going to tell him about his sister. As soon as Avi thought of the latest information he and Fan Lin had heard when they left the diplomatic residence, he realized that Sister Ioann was already in danger - dozens of noble lords, including Polly, the lord of Broken City, had rushed to the second prince Amsul's home city overnight, and Prince Amso's move to gather troops was undoubtedly dangerous in the eyes of outsiders, and at the same time brought danger to the relatives of those nobles.
The two followed the jailer's instructions and went to the bottom of the prison together. When Avi named who he wanted to visit, two guards on this floor immediately stood in front of Avi and Felisty.
"No, for some special reason, you two can't go any further, and you can't see the man named Joan who you're going to visit in prison!"
"Why?" Avi clearly remembered that Joan was not imprisoned on this floor, "we are visiting Joan, he is just a young man who has committed theft, and he will be released from prison in two months. ”
The two jailers looked at each other, "No, it's not okay, go back to the top and get the visit money back!" Avi and Felisty didn't understand the situation, but the two jailers began to push them off the floor. Just when Avi was helpless, a call came from the innermost part of the hallway.
"Let those two kids in! they're my friend's friend, my friend. ”
The two jailers immediately stopped what they were doing, and they hesitated for a moment before moving their iron halberds and making way for them. Avi and Felisty both felt that the voice was familiar, and when they reached the innermost cell of the cover, they realized that the person who had just spoken was Demps, the head of the Snake Spear Knights!
The cell where Demps was imprisoned was very large, and Joan, who had committed the theft, appeared inside, raised a hand, and greeted Avi, who was standing in front of the bar.
"You two children sit outside, and no one has the key to open this barred door except the warden. Demps pointed to the iron railing in front of him, and he sat on the ground with a blank look in his eyes.
"Joan, how did you end up with this... This big man is locked up together, can't he be guilty of some kind of felony!?"
"Of course not, didn't you notice that this cell was the only one on this level?" said Joan helplessly, "and the prisoners of the other cells were moved to other levels in order to keep Master Demps in solitary confinement. And I... Because Chief Demps asked for a fellow inmate, they brought me, the youngest of whom, had only committed theft. ”
Demps burst out laughing, "You didn't say that when you first arrived, you said you admired me and applied to be in the same cell with me, right?"
"That's the reason... Actually, I admire Captain Demps very much, the Snake Lance Knights were the famous Knights when we were young, the ideal Knights for me and my little friends, and it is also my honor to be locked up with Captain Demps! After saying this, John was detrimental to Demps, who was about the same age as the other three combined, but he seemed to be very talkative as if he were not at odds with John.
Joan and Demps chatted and forgot about Avi and Felisty, and after Felisty coughed softly, Joan came to his senses, "By the way, what are you here to look for me?"
"Hmm... Something happened to Mallot, which led to..."
Demps interjected, "I heard that there was a change out there, could it be that the old immortal was?!I saw him fall to the ground with my own eyes!" Demps lifted his shoulder, where there was still a bandaged wound.
"Old and immortal?" said Joan, who didn't understand Demps's words.
"It's the king of this country, the incompetent fat pig king, Byron!" Demps's eyes widened at King Byron's name, startling Avi.
Joan didn't know how to answer, so Avi had to tell the truth about Mallot, including the actions of Poli, the Viscount of Cracked City, and the actions of the second prince Anso.
"Hahahaha! Or can I live longer! Byron is dead! There is nothing to stop the revival of the kingdom of Sarins!haha!"
