Chapter 162: Fort Guton's reaction
"Stepping on ......"
Successive armies slowly returned from outside Fort Guton, and the aura of slaughter spread.
The flag hunted in the wind, adding a bit of majesty out of thin air.
A thin man in armor and a gorgeous cloak walked slowly towards the city with his army.
"Lord Baron" came galloping on his horse and shouted at the man.
Alden looked at his henchman coming, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "My internal affairs officer, what are you doing here?"
"I have heard of the Baron's triumph, so I have come to greet you," the Interior Officer said aloud to Alden, with a flattering smile on his face.
Looking at the smile on the face of the interior officer, Alden shouted to the generals behind him: "You lead the army back to the barracks"
"Yes," the generals behind him replied in unison to Alden.
The generals gently patted their horses and led the soldiers into the castle.
Alden rolled over and dismounted, followed by two guards.
"Tell me, what the hell is going on," Alden asked the Interior Officer. He must not believe what kind of nonsense he is waiting for.
Listening to the inquiry, the Interior Officer smiled and said slowly to Alden: "Not long ago, those hateful Ayrshire rats burned our stockpiled grain to ashes. If it weren't for the Baron's thought of confiscating all the food of the civilians in my Gutunburg area, I am afraid that the plan of Ayrshire would have been succeeded by now."
Hearing the Interior Officer mention this, Alden's eyes flashed with anger, and his face gradually turned blue.
"What if the traps are exhausted? In the end, not all the rats were guillotined. It's a pity that Amos wasn't caught, otherwise he would have been humiliated," Alden said indignantly.
Looking at the indignant Alden, the interior officer smiled at him: "Baron is angry, in the end of this war, it is not that we have won"
"Won?" Alden smiled sarcastically.
Then he turned to the Interior Officer, "If it weren't for the sudden withdrawal of troops from Ayr and Kochi, I'm afraid we would have been in a very dangerous situation at this time."
"A victory is a victory, what does the Baron think?" said the Interior Officer, emphasizing Alden.
Alden was not stupid, and he immediately understood: "Could it be that something is going on in Siegburg?"
"Not long ago, Baron Francis staged a coup d'état and killed your brother Baron Annelin, while General Charles of Ayrshire raided Sidon Pass and surrendered to Baron Francis. There is news that Amos hastened into my Gutunburg, and it has a lot to do with it," said the Interior Officer slowly to Alden.
Because these things happened so quickly, Fort Gudon didn't react until today. It's just that some of the news in it is yes or no.
After all, during this time, the main force of the Church of Light was in the Bright Continent, and Paul's act of decentralization became such an illusion.
Listening to the words of the Interior Officer, Alden couldn't help but gasp: "I can't imagine that the seemingly harmless Francis actually did such a thing"
"How many soldiers and horses does Francis have now?" Alden asked the Interior Officer.
The Interior Officer thought quickly, and replied to Alden: "By all indications, the strength of the army is about two thousand, including two hundred apprentices."
"If you count the location they occupy, they are on a par with us," said the Interior Officer, speaking to Alden.
Alden couldn't help frowning, and then a very crucial question came to mind: "Why did Charlie surrender to my lovely brother?"
"Also, with the strength of my lovely brother, there is no chance that the coup will succeed," Alden said to the Interior Officer.
The Interior Officer slowly uttered two words: "Carl"
"What? Karl actually took refuge with Francis," Alden exclaimed.
The Interior Officer explained to Alden in detail: "If Ayrshire can arrange so many rats in our Gutunburg, how can we ignore Siegburg?"
"Incredible, really incredible" Alden slowly combed through the news, subconsciously sighing.
Looking at Alden's surprised expression, the interior officer continued to explain: "At first, I also felt incredible, but after sending someone to investigate in detail, I felt that it was reasonable."
"Reasonable?" Alden was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked the Interior Officer.
The Interior Officer organized words in his heart, and slowly said the information he knew and the results of the deduction after some brain supplement: "Karl doesn't know why he was suddenly put on death row by Viscount Adolph of El and is about to be beheaded."
"According to various speculations after the convergence of intelligence. It must have been Karl and Viscount Francis who had made some kind of unknown deal, which was noticed by Viscount Adolf, and therefore such a severe punishment was made. However, Baron Francis and Karl were on death row and secretly escaped to Siegburg," said the Interior Officer.
Speaking of this, his eyes sharpened: "In order to take revenge on Viscount Adolphus of El and repay Baron Francis's kindness, Karl completely took refuge in Baron Francis. and rely on the power in his hands to assist Baron Francis in a coup d'état"
Upon hearing of Karl's escape, Viscount El immediately sent General Charles to lead a thousand soldiers to attack Sidon Pass. didn't want Carl and Charlie to have a deep friendship, so he persuaded Charlie to launch a mutiny and defected to Baron Francis. That's why Amos hurried to Fort Gutun to prevent Karl from repeating his old tricks and wasting their hard work," said the Interior Officer.
A feeling of rejoicing appeared in his heart: "It was because of Amos's haste to launch those plans that we were able to find out, otherwise it would have been too late to regret it."
"Carl, it turns out that all of this was due to Carl's rebellion," Alden quickly concluded.
The Interior Officer also felt a little frightened, and then seemed to think of something, and said to Alden: "I have discovered a very interesting thing recently"
"Matter?" Alden looked puzzled, not fully reacting for a moment. After all, these two topics jumped a little too suddenly.
The Interior Officer smiled at Alden: "Recently, there has been a steady stream of grain coming from the direction of Sidon Pass"
"It's not a lot, but it's every day," said the Interior Minister, meaningfully.
Alden gradually fell into deep thought, and he suddenly smelled a smell of conspiracy. Especially when you combine what the Interior Officer has just said about Karl with that.
This kind of breath feels a little thicker.
