Chapter 534: Confusing
Upon his return to Glori, the king began to send people to gather information from Ikor non-stop.
Their negotiations were not completely secret, and there were many discussions among the people of Carretus. And the ending of the queen suddenly fainting naturally spread quickly among the people. All kinds of news made the king very big.
Under these circumstances, it was difficult for the king to obtain credible information. Therefore, they had no choice but to send another messenger to Ikor to inquire about the situation.
However...... In the end, none of the messengers returned.
To the east of Karitus, the garrison camp of Ikor is like being forcibly blocked by the other side by military means at this moment, and almost no one can come out. Ikor stayed inside, neither attacking nor retreating, and remained motionless without showing the slightest sign.
This made the king and the others wonder.
In the halls of the palace, a group of people quarreled over this question every day.
"I think they must be in a mess at the moment. The general suddenly spoke, and said, "The queen's wounds must not have healed, otherwise Ikor's side would not be like this." Your Majesty, this is our chance, and now we can take back the territory from the enemy once and for all!"
The king hesitated: "But...... If we do send troops, won't it be tantamount to confirming our reputation as a despicable and shameless conspirator in negotiations?"
"As long as we win, we can say whatever we want. The general was obviously the main battle faction, believing that they must not miss this opportunity, and persuaded him, "Ikor had already taken advantage of the chaos in our country to invade first. And now, they have killed our messenger again. In terms of reasonableness, we all have reasons to take the initiative to send troops, and we will not be truthful. ”
As soon as these words came out, many officials in the hall also nodded.
"The general has a point, and I also think that there should be a war. ”
"Reckless action is not feasible...... If there is a trap, we will only throw ourselves into the net by sending troops. ”
"Now that the situation is so chaotic, a tentative dispatch of troops can test what is going on on Ikor's side. If it's a trap or something, we can also withdraw our troops in time. ”
"It's not without reason......"
In short, most of the officials were in favor of sending troops. It's like your enemy is suddenly hit on the head by a meteorite falling from the sky, do you go up and step on your feet, or do you lift the person up?
Of course, there were voices of opposition, but they were quickly drowned out by the voices of the majority.
The king looked at the people who were fighting, and for a moment bowed his head in contemplation, and was silent.
"Your Majesty, what do you think of ......?"
At last the king waved his hand and said, "Go down first, this matter is very important, and we will think about it a little longer." Master Benjamin, don't leave yet, I still have something to discuss with you. ”
When the officials heard this, they nodded and left, leaving only Benjamin and the king in the hall.
The king also looked at Benjamin.
"What do you think?"
Benjamin sighed and said, "I think there's a trap. The queen is very strange, everything is too good for us, and it may be that someone deliberately led the current situation. ”
The king nodded. Only the two of them witnessed the scene of the queen vomiting blood and fainting, and they would definitely not think about it so simply.
"And what do you think we should do?" he immediately asked.
"It's still time to try. Benjamin said slowly, "If it has something to do with the church, we will only let the church take advantage of this opportunity." If the queen really dies because of this, then Ikor is a big cake, and the sooner he strikes, the more he will get a share. ”
"So...... You also think I should send troops?"
Benjamin hesitated for a moment and said, "No." In case it is a trap, something will definitely happen when you send troops. I think we'd better send someone to find out the situation. ”
The king looked helpless and spread his hands: "Haven't we been sending it all along?" but the news is so chaotic that we can't inquire about anything useful. ”
Benjamin nodded as well.
Oh, yes...... The current situation always feels like someone deliberately guided it. All kinds of rumors among the people also made them completely confused, and there were no credible clues.
"In that case, I can go and inquire about the situation. Miles suddenly walked in from the back of the hall, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "Anyway...... Either the church did it, or the mage did it, and neither side could help me. ”
The king was stunned: "Can you get in?"
"Your Majesty may appoint me as an envoy, and the previous envoys have not also entered?" replied Miles, "I am not like them, and I will certainly not be unable to come out." ”
“...... Really?"
Benjamin was skeptical.
If it is like before, it will disappear for ten days and half a month, and the whole person will be heard, then they can only wait for Glory to be blackened.
"What else can I do?" asked Miles helplessly, spreading his hands.
Benjamin thought for a moment and said, "Well, I'll go with you." You are the messenger, and I am flying or digging a hole, and the two of them are one bright and one dark. In case you disappear for no apparent reason, we won't be left unaware. ”
“...... All right. ”
Miles was silent for a moment and nodded. Seeing this, the king did not object to the idea. The current situation is confusing, and intuitively, he does feel that it is not good to send troops recklessly.
When the two of them investigate the situation clearly, he will also have a little bottom in his heart.
With that, Benjamin and his wife left the palace and immediately set out from Grory to Ikor's garrison camp. Miles was appointed as a messenger and rode his horse across the plains. Benjamin, on the other hand, flew in the sky, paying attention to his surroundings from afar.
There were no surprises along the way. Probably because of this changing and tense atmosphere, there were not many people on the road, and occasionally one or two carriages hurried by, just pedestrians.
It took a day for the two to get to Ikor camp.
"Stop! One step further, no mercy!"
Miles raised an eyebrow and took out the messenger's certificate and showed it to the soldiers guarding the door. Several soldiers glanced at each other, muttered something like "why is it here again", accepted the paperwork, and said fiercely: "You wait here first, I will report the situation to the above." ”
Miles nodded, dismounted, and obediently waited at the door.
Benjamin landed behind a nearby rock and used the rock to start digging a hole.
Ikor had already laid a long blockade in the area, and he couldn't figure out what was going on inside using the water elemental sensing method outside. It's too flamboyant to fly directly, it's better to go underground, and most people are defenseless against this.
However, just as Benjamin summoned several intelligent ice drill bits to automatically dig holes, a group of soldiers suddenly rushed out on the side of the blockade line, holding weapons in their hands, and surrounded Miles.
