Chapter 12: I Worked with Them First
When Ron and the others began to secretly transfer the families of those soldiers in Lyme City according to Casio's orders, the progress of things on Casio's side was almost at a critical moment. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
And because the matter on Casio's side attracted all the attention of Count Lyme and others, and the families of these soldiers were relatively scattered, at most there were less than two hundred, so this thing that happened to Count Lyme and them was not discovered.
Ron, of course, only temporarily brought the families of these soldiers together. And if you want to bring them back to Green Water Town completely, this goal is still relatively large.
However, Count Lyme and the others have apparently thought it through and have given Casio a chance to solve this problem.
Sisko and their exchange!
And today, it is the time of the exchange of hostages agreed between Casio and Count Lyme.
Count Lyme led a group of more than thirty hussars and Casio towards a small ravine outside the city of Lyme.
Agaret and the others were not by Casio's side, not because Casio was unwilling to take them, but because Count Leme still didn't fully trust Casio, so he deliberately separated them.
For this, Casio doesn't care.
The small canyon where the hostages were exchanged was not far away, and even if Casio and the others rode their horses and moved a little leisurely, they only came to this small canyon in less than half an hour.
This small canyon is no more than 200 meters long, more than 10 meters wide, and the two cliffs are about 50 meters, but it is a good place for natural ambushes, otherwise the Earl of Lyme would not have chosen this place.
At this time, in the middle of the small canyon, Koichi and them were guarding a group of people, waiting for Casio and them to come.
Riding his horse and stopping more than ten meters away from them, Count Lyme nodded to his cronies. As a result, this cronie began to identify whether Ayi and their team were their own people.
For Count Lem's caution, Casio chuckled in his heart.
He asked Jiayi and them to bring it, naturally it was the people of the Count of Lyme. It's just that this group of people is not Sisko and others who are not willing to submit to themselves for the time being, but people who have clearly expressed their willingness to submit to themselves.
Therefore, after carefully identifying the Earl of Lyme, the cronies of the Count of Lyme said with certainty: "Lord Count, it is our man. ”
Hearing this, Count Lyme was really relieved in his heart, looking at this group of soldiers wearing Lyme City equipment, he estimated in his heart whether these people would be enough to deal with Viscount Rosa.
The reason why these soldiers are dressed in neat equipment is naturally what Count Lyme means. He came here to lure Viscount Rosa and them to take the initiative to attack him, so he naturally needed to transform the power in his hands into combat power at a critical moment.
"Your Royal Highness, why are there only half of them?" Count Lyme glanced at the number of people and wondered.
Casio smiled, "Lord Count, this is your territory after all. Not only can't I enter the city to trade, but I certainly can't hand over all of them to you at once. ”
Let's not talk about whether to subdue Sisko or not, it is a normal hostage exchange, and it is still on the other party's territory, and it is impossible for Casio to give all the hostages to the other party at once.
In case the first thing the other party does after getting the manpower is to launch an attack on himself, wouldn't he have dug a pit for himself and specially came to pit himself.
In the face of Casio's answer, Count Leme thought for a moment, and then did not continue to ask.
In his opinion, although these manpower is not ideal, after all, there are still more than fifty people, plus the manpower he brought, whether bright or dark, there are more than 100 people, and it should be enough to face Rosa's ambush.
"When will they show up?" said Count Lyme, turning his head and beginning to care about his main matter at the moment.
Casio looked at the sky and looked leisurely: "It should be soon." ”
As soon as Casio's words fell, I saw two groups of people slowly appearing in the front and back sections of this canyon, approaching Count Lyme and the others in the center.
Seeing that the other party really appeared, and things were going quite smoothly here, Count Lyme breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
When Viscount Rosa approached in front of him, Count Lyme deliberately turned pale and asked, "Viscount Rosa, what do you mean by this?"
As he spoke, Count Lyme observed the other man's hand.
This time, Viscount Rosa united most of the nobles of Lyme City and mobilized all the people he could use, including private soldiers.
Added up, there were almost more than one hundred and fifty people, which was nearly twice as much as that of Count Lyme.
Seeing that the other party's manpower was as he expected, Count Lyme was even more relieved.
In the face of Count Leme's questioning, Viscount Rosa still smiled gently: "I heard that Lord Earl, you have recovered the missing guard, so we came over to take a look." ”
"See?" said Count Lyme, grimly, "I see you have bad intentions. ”
"Oh, Lord Count, look what you say. If we want to say bad intentions, can we compare to you?" Viscount Rosa looked relaxed, and the confidence that everything was under control was overflowing.
"As the lord of Lyme City, not only have you not made any contribution to Lyme City over the years, but you have also used public power for private purposes, causing the guards to almost suffer major losses, and we can't do this. ”
The expression on Count Lem's face became even colder: "I don't understand what you're talking about. ”
"Huh. At this time, a slightly chubby nobleman next to Rosa couldn't help but sneer, "Lord Earl, don't hide it. We know all about asking Sisko and them to go to the Whisper Forest to explore the veins!"
At this moment, Count Lyme was completely speechless.
Rosa thought for a moment before saying, "Lord Earl, we already have evidence of some disgraceful things you have done over the years. I personally advise you to take it all in your hands and go back with us to wait for the convening of the Council of Nobles. ”
The so-called aristocratic council is to convene all the nobles who have faces in a certain area to discuss certain matters.
And the noble council in Rosa's mouth obviously wants a public trial of the Count of Lyme.
"What if I don't want to?" said Count Lyme, unmoved.
Rosa smiled and shook his head: "Lord Earl, what you rely on now is nothing more than those people above, isn't it?"
Hearing this, Count Lyme's face suddenly changed. This time it's not pretending, but it's really changing.
After Rosa said this, he shouted to the top of the cliff: "Is it solved above?"
As Rosa asked, he saw a human head popping up on the edge of the cliff, and one of them responded to the following: "Lord Viscount, everything has been settled." ”
At this moment, Count Lyme's whole heart sank, looked at Rosa and his party, and said word by word: "How do you know?"
Rosa smiled, as if he had seen the dawn of victory: "Isn't this what you, Lord Earl, are willing to reveal to us?"
These words immediately made Count Leme react, and he suddenly turned his head to look at Casio, and his voice was cold: "It's you!"
Casio shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands helplessly, "I forgot to tell you, Lord Count, I will cooperate with them first." ”
