Chapter 40: The Kashmir Conspiracy
"Dear King, it is a pity that the team we sent out to infiltrate Taranto to assassinate Delis has all been killed. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Agra's tone was very steady, his head hung in front of Cridis, and he couldn't see the expression on his face, but the slender fingers holding the saber at his waist turned white from the force, revealing that the Demon Knight's leader's heart was not so calm as it appeared.
"Huh?"
The Fairy King, who had been slightly closed his eyes, opened his eyes violently, and looked at Agra with a razor-sharp gaze: "Didn't you say that this team includes two great swordsmen and a high-level thief?"
"Yes, Your Highness. ”
"So, do you want to remind me that our Princess Lantis is strong enough to easily kill the Great Swordsman and the High Thieves?"
There was already a faint hint of dissatisfaction in Critis's voice, like a dozing dragon whose sleep had been disturbed, and a storm of anger began to brew in his voice.
Agra was not afraid, bowed slightly, and replied calmly and unhurriedly: "According to our intelligence, the assassination team did not die at the hands of Princess Delis, but someone else. ”
"Who is it?"
The Fairy King had already stood up, a look of anger on his face.
An imperceptible smile tugged at the corners of Agra's mouth, and Clitis finally showed the anger he had been waiting for.
"According to reliable sources, it was Lexa, the leader of the Iron Blood Mercenary Regiment, who attacked. ”
"Lexa, how could that orc have anything to do with this? ”
When Cridis heard Lexa's name, the confusion on his face replaced the original anger, and his eyebrows were slightly twisted together.
"Princess Delith's last whereabouts were in the Mercenary Guild in Taranto, with a mercenary group called Demon Wings. Our men have been lurking around the Mercenary Guild waiting for an opportunity to snipe. Surprisingly, for some unknown reason, Lexa suddenly appeared in Taranto, found and intercepted our people. ”
"This is a provocation to the dignity of Lokamia! arrogant and brutal orcs. ”
"Perhaps, it's just a coincidence, you know that Lexa's Iron Mercenary Regiment has been secretly in conflict with Lokamia because of that incident back then. But there is no reason to specifically protect the fallen princess of Landis. ”
Critis snorted coldly, and seemed to remember something, staring at Agra and asking, "Demon Wings?"
Is it?
"This is just a small mercenary group, but now, it seems to be the fifth mercenary group in the Camlando continent to rank A. Moreover, the head of the Demon Wings seems to be none other than Relos, who was disrespectful to Your Highness and was expelled from Lokamia. ”
"What?"
"Honorable Wang, it is precisely because of the troubles of these mercenaries that the pursuit of Delis has failed repeatedly. ”
Clitis was stunned for a moment, and then laughed angrily: "Hahaha, what surprising news." In the midst of wild laughter, the surging magic elves surged out, like a magic storm, sweeping the entire palace, and the palace guards wearing heavy helmets were swept around by the magic storm.
"If you dare to openly challenge my dignity, I will show you how to bear my wrath. ”
The Fairy King couldn't help but roar: "Let Marshal Hemingway come to see me, now!"
Agra sneered secretly in his heart, and sure enough, at the mention of Relos's name, Cridis had an extraordinary reaction, irritable, irritable, like an ordinary human old man in his twilight years. Zai Ye is not a high-flying fairy king.
The palace guards hurriedly saluted, turned their heads and galloped away, Clitis was already like an awakened beast at this moment, revealing its deadly fangs at any moment.
A moment later, the commander of the Republic of Lokamia, the second and third army marshal Hemingway, came to Cretis. As a human marshal, Hemingway had a tall body no less than that of an orc, with gray hair and an angular face full of weather.
As if sensing that something was wrong with the fairy king's face, Hemingway stood aside after saluting respectfully, waiting for Cridis' order. The carpet and marble pillars still bear the traces of the magical storm that swept away, and Hemingway sighs secretly in his heart, once upon a time, the wise and elegant fairy king of the past, Cridis, seems to be getting farther and farther away.
After seeing the old marshal, Cridis's face softened a lot, and the turbulent emotions began to calm down slowly. As a soldier who fought all his life in the Republic of Locamia, Hemingway has always been the most relied on general of Cridis. During the years of conquest on the continent of Camrando, Hemingway led his army to win numerous victories for Locamia.
"Lord Hemingway, do you remember Princess Delis of Lantis?"
After exhaling deeply, Clitis asked Hemingway straight to the point.
"Your Honourable King, the princess of Lantis has been pursued by Locamia since she escaped from the city of Panicia. I don't know what the edict of His Highness asks about this matter at this time?"
Hemingway glanced at Agra next to him and said slowly: "Lord Agra has always been in charge of the pursuit of Princess Lantis. ”
Agra elegantly bowed to Hemingway, and an evil smile appeared on his handsome face: "I'm afraid Lord Hemingway doesn't know yet, Princess Delis of Landis has come together with Relos, and that is Lord Hemingway's former henchman." ”
When Hemingway heard the name of Relos, his gray eyebrows raised slightly, ignored Agra, and said to Cridis:
"Your honorable king, the minister is really unaware of this. Besides, Relos has long since been expelled from Lokamia, and I don't know what Lord Agra means?"
"The team that Agra sent out to hunt down Delis has been wiped out several times. Not long ago, the great swordsman and high-level thieves sent out were also killed casually. ”
Clitis said this, looking at Agra dissatisfied, and Agra leaned down in fear, not daring to tell the difference.
"The First Army and the Demon Knights have always been the guardian of Kashmir, the royal capital, and cannot be easily mobilized. So, I want you to send an army to hunt down Delis as quickly as possible, Lord Hemingway. ”
A cold glint flashed in Critis's eyes, and his voice suddenly froze: "If you have to, it's okay to bring back the corpse." Also, since Relos likes to wade through the muddy waters, he doesn't mind disappearing all together. ”
Hemingway's body trembled slightly, and the corner of his eye caught in Agra's cold smile.
"Dear King, the Second and Third Armies are both quelling rebellions in various places, and many of them are incorporated from Landis and Camero, so it seems inappropriate to mobilize troops to encircle and suppress them. ”
Hemingway looked at the fairy king and said hesitantly: "Moreover, when Your Highness attacked Panicia City, you once said that you would not pursue Landis's former subjects, and Princess Delis's identity especially represented Landis's subjects. And Relos was also personally ordered by Your Highness to be banished from Lokamia. Isn't it inappropriate to mobilize troops to encircle and suppress now?"
"Lord Hemingway, are you accusing His Highness the Fairy King of not keeping his promise and going back on his word?"
Agra's voice suddenly interrupted Hemingway's words, and his grim smile was like a poisonous snake.
Clitis snorted dissatisfiedly and said to Hemingway: "Not only did Delis not accept the king's kindness, but she also tried to go back to the city of Panicia to incite the untouchables to revolt. Isn't that enough for a capital crime?"
Hemingway looked at the faintly angry goblin king, his eyes struggled, and he knew that it was no different from saying more, so he didn't dare to distinguish anymore, so he had to say: "Your Majesty obeys orders." ”
"It is said that Relos is deeply appreciated by Lord Hemingway in the army, and I hope that Lord Hemingway can do it. Oh, by the way, the current Relos is the head of the A-class mercenaries, and if Lord Hemingway lacks a master of martial arts, there are still a few people under Benjue's command who can take action. ”
Agra's handsome face showed a sincere smile towards Hemingway, and he looked like a respectful junior.
"Don't bother Lord Agra. I heard that the four demon generals under the command of Lord Agra are all top masters, why did they pursue Princess Landis in vain so many times. ”
Hemingway also unceremoniously ridiculed each other, the four demon generals under the command of Agra have always boasted of being superior in the Locamia army, and they are extremely proud, so it is naturally impossible to put down their identity and go to hunt down Delis in person, otherwise they would not have returned in vain so many pursuits.
"Okay, let's decide. The next matter of chasing Delis, Lord Hemingway sent an army to take over, and Agra could also cooperate. ”
Clitis waved his hand, his voice was a little tired, a little princess of the Fallen Empire, has she wasted too much time?
After stepping out of the fairy king's palace, Agra took a few quick steps and caught up with Hemingway.
"Lord Hemingway, according to reliable information, Delis and Relos have left Taranto, and they are heading in a strange direction, it seems that it is Kashmir. ”
"Lord Agra is joking, aren't you? Kashmir is guarded by your First Army and the Royal Demon Knights, so are they trapping themselves?"
Agra smiled elegantly and spread his hands, "Who knows, but don't forget, the Frankish Emperor of the Landis Empire died at the hands of Relos alone. ”
"If that's the case, I hope Lord Agra can make a smooth contribution and kill them all. ”
"I'm looking forward to it very much, but before that, I hope Lord Hemingway won't be selfish, it should be very easy to exterminate the few rebellions of the human empire that have slipped through the net. ”
"I wonder why you, as a human being, have such a strong hatred for humans. ”
Hemingway's blazing eyes stared at Agra, hoping to find out from his face.
Agra licked her tongue, and a wicked smile appeared on Junxiu's face, "No, no, no, I don't admit to being human, I just borrowed this body by mistake. ”
Hemingway snorted coldly, turned around angrily and brushed his sleeves away.
Agra looked at Hemingway's back as he faded away, the smile on his face slowly solidified, and his eyes began to show a resentful light: "Human? ”
At this time, Relos and his party were leaving Taranto and began to choose a route to the target Kashmir. Little did he know that Agra was like a cold viper, lurking in the road ahead. Moreover, Hemingway's Second and Third armies also sent two teams of several thousand men each to advance to the border of Taranto.
At the same time, the Republic of Locamia officially issued a declaration to Tanaro that it would not accept the exiled princess of Lantis, Delis, into the country, otherwise it would be considered an enemy of Locamia.
