Chapter 300: Liquidation of the Remnants
readx;
"Sister Wang, you are indeed the hope of our kingdom of Salins!If you had been living in Mallot, then Brother Amsoil would not have become what he was later!" Walter immediately asked one of his subordinates to sort out the information about the necklace, and then hand it over to Winlith after the meeting. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The remnants of Amsoil who remained in Mallot were also liquidated by Gronos, who had information provided by Heck showing that those who had secretly supported Amsul's usurpation of state power were all under surveillance, and the first decision of the "Council of the Five" was carried out at this time.
Since the nobles of the frontier were not here, the "Quadripartite Council", consisting of Winlith, Gronos, Walter, and the representative of the "Capital Overseer", Jaco, temporarily exercised this power. Three votes were required to implement the liquidation plan proposed by Gronos. As you can imagine, the unanimous vote passed to arrest and interrogate these Amsoil remnants, and the bastard prince who had lived in Mallotte for many years was uprooted, and no one who was related to him could escape. The suspicious nobles in the northern part of the kingdom were pardoned, after all, the king and queen were seriously ill, and everyone thought that they should act prudently.
Avi saw with his own eyes how easily these people decided the fate of others, whether they were guilty or not, just by raising their arms. However, when King Byron was healthy, the king's decision-making was not much better, and he said that whoever he wanted to expel from the capital must immediately get out of the city, even the prince and princess. Avi believed that if Prince Bradley became King of Sahlins, the situation would change and the innocent would not be wronged.
At this point, most of the agenda has been discussed. Bradley, who had planned to face Queen Rosemund, also lost his goal due to the queen's health, and the eldest prince himself was caught on the wrong foot because of the words of the ghost of the academy and became the target of the meeting. It's just that Bradley, who had just defeated Ansool, still won a lot of popular support, and he didn't say anything about his relationship with Demps when the military camp was still outside the city. Unfortunately, even if Bradley had already appeared in Mallot, Avi didn't see Mills, the deputy head of the Spark Mercenary Regiment, appear, and if Mills was really rescued, then he should find a chance to join Bradley, otherwise staying here might be seen as a traitor trying to open the gates.
At the end of the meeting, there was no mention of Stitch and other foreign envoys, and it seemed that the contradictions within the Kingdom of Sahlins had been "perfectly resolved", but Avi was worried about their safety.
"Academy Ghost, it's time for you to take off your hood, right?"
This sentence of Guronos drew everyone's attention to the mysterious man who seemed to know a lot of secrets, "It doesn't matter who I am, it's what I do." I have not done anything to harm the interests of the Kingdom, nor have I been implicated in any conspiracy, I am only representing justice. The Kestrel Academy, the place where the future pillars of the kingdom are nurtured, needs to be illuminated by the light of justice, which is why I am there. ā
"I'm here to resolve misunderstandings and disputes, now that the misunderstanding between us has been resolved, then the rest of the things are easy to say, the actions of the academy ghost are also out of love for the Kingdom of Salins, there is no need to pursue it!" Walter looked relaxed, he did what he said, at least he resolved the previous dispute when the queen was seriously ill, so that the queen faction and the eldest prince faction no longer confronted each other.
The vain statement of the college ghost disgusted the pragmatists present, but Gu Luos also had some scruples about this college ghost, after all, no one proposed to arrest the college ghost, and the other party was so bold to show up and offend Bradley, there must be something supporting his confidence.
When Avi followed Bradley to leave Mallot, his mind was full of the-for-tat face he had just had with the eldest prince at the meeting, especially Mallot's presidential leader Gronos, who was even more hateful than the hypocritical Walter, who controlled the meeting as the spokesman for the king and queen, and seized every opportunity that could be directed against Bradley, without mercy.
Winlith hastily left the royal city after promising to take over Prince Walter's mission, saying that she would hand over the army to Bradley first.
"Brother Wang, my subordinates are all under your command, even if they set up a 'five-party council' that excludes you, I will support you, Brother Wang, and if there is a day when force is necessary, then my soldiers will become your swords and shields, even if I am not here. ā
Avi overheard Winlith's words to Bradley, and it was clear that the good-looking princess had made up her mind to find King Byron the weapon of life, the necklace rumored to protect the wearer. Mr. Bennicot wanted it too, but the rivals who appeared at this time were the princesses and kings of the kingdom, and Avi planned to wait and see what happened until Princess Winlith had a plan for the next step before considering a way to approach the necklace.
Felisty did not leave Mallotte with Avi, the red-haired girl stood behind Avi and said little until Avi turned around to find that Felisty had snuck away, leaving only a note in Avi's clothes.
"I'm staying in the city, no matter what, the 'Capital Overseer' has a place in the 'Five Parties' Council, and I will contact them, and Princess Winlith's vote is equivalent to Prince Bradley's, so you don't have to worry too much, I will keep in touch with you." ā
Avi knew that when she was in danger, the red-haired girl who was ordered to protect her would appear, and the other party had all kinds of special skills, but she didn't have much ambition, and she just obeyed the orders of the Saintess Golia in the city of Doret. If it weren't for Felisti, her path would have been even more difficult. Avi thought to himself.
"From now on, you will live with us in the barracks," Fenrir led Avi to a tent, "Prince Bradley specially asked you to live with me, saying that I wanted to familiarize you with the life of the barracks, so you understand? You are Prince Bradley's subordinate from this moment on, and everything we do must be based on the premise of protecting the prince's interests." ā
Avi nodded as he looked behind him, Eggsy belonged to the New Knights of the Iron Wall, this knight was the only knight in the Grand Prince's barracks, their status was much higher than those mercenaries, but they were not as good as Bradley's own soldiers from his own territory. Fenrir and Gadia were the commanders of those personal soldiers, and they were also Bradley's henchmen, and they also became their predecessors at this time.
"I see, I will do my best to help His Royal Highness, Fenrir!"
Fenrir brushed his hair back twice, "This is not a military academy, but you can call me senior if you like, I don't mind, as long as you are dedicated to His Royal Highness the Prince." By the way, don't think you're just a full-fledged soldier, you're just a knight, and you still have a lot to learn. ā
"I know, I..."
"The first thing to learn is to stay humble and listen quietly to what others are saying! Let me tell you frankly, His Royal Highness the Prince intends to send you back to the Kestrel Academy so that you can continue to complete your studies, after all, that student qualification is not easy to come by, and the 'Capital Supervision Council' of the Kestrel Academy has suddenly emerged as an unpredictable force. Do you understand what His Royal Highness the Prince means?"
Avi had not spoken to Prince Bradley since he had entered Mallotte in the morning, and of course he wanted to have a detailed conversation with the man he admired about his plans for the future, but he also knew that there was a difference between master and servant, and that he was only a new subordinate and had no qualifications to make requests, so he quickly agreed to any arrangement with Fenrir.
There were all the daily necessities in the tent, Avi didn't care about anything else, he walked to the table as soon as possible, picked up a pen and paper and wrote a letter. He wants to tell Stitch about his situation, he has joined Prince Bradley's side, and Avi is very eager to know about Stitch's current situation. Although there was good news before, but Heck has been arrested, then things could change.
"You learned to ask for it before you have contributed anything?" Fenrir picked up the letter written by Avi, and Avi hoped that Fenrir would hand it over to Prince Bradley, and then send someone to pass it on to Stitch in the city, "We all know that you were originally Lord Stitch's guard, and His Royal Highness will definitely not forget it." However, you should be very clear about the principle that loyal ministers do not care about the two masters, if you really want to serve His Royal Highness, then you should draw a line with the hostages of the Oguna Empire as soon as possible. Fenrir's words were cold, but he took the letter anyway.
Avi remembers the day he was brought back to Sky City by Coral and entrusted with the task of protecting Stitch. Those favors need to be repaid, but Prince Bradley is the most worthy person to serve, and Avi has also figured out how to face Stitch and Sango, they should understand their choice, right?
When Fenrir returned to the tent, the sun had set, and he returned with dinner and news that Prince Bradley needed to recuperate. It turned out that the reason why Prince Bradley didn't speak much at the meeting was because of his health, and Avi remembered what happened last night - even an iron body could not survive after being poisoned and severed his fingers, but he only cared about his own affairs and did not take into account Prince Bradley's physical condition.
The liquidation of the remnants of Amsoil was also proceeding rapidly, and as soon as the moon climbed into the night sky, news came from Mallot's side that "three hundred people had been beheaded". In addition to the remnants of these most serious crimes, thousands of people were arrested and imprisoned, and it seems that Guronos really had the means.
"You can sleep there tonight, don't snore, I can't stand that," Fenrir pointed to a bed he had just moved into, "and wake up and start a new life." ā
