Chapter 160: Charlie's Arrangement
"Goo-goo-goo......"
A carrier pigeon flew into the palace of the Sidon guard, and a guard saw this and ran quickly, untied the strip of cloth on it and walked in one direction.
Charlie, who was in the study, heard hurried footsteps and looked up at the running guard, looking at him suspiciously.
"General, news from Siegburg," the guard saw the strip of cloth in his hand and handed it to Charlie.
Charlie walked over to the guard, opened the strip of cloth in his hand, and watched slowly.
His brow furrowed as his gaze moved, and he then pulled his hands behind his back in a brief moment of contemplation.
St. Jenny led a group of men to carry ten carts of grain to Gutunburg as a missionary.
A tricky feeling surfaced, and Charlie sighed heavily. I didn't expect the saint to go on a mission at this juncture. It must be known that at this time, his side and Fort Gudon are enemies of life and death.
I don't know what the wise man thinks, but he actually agreed to the decision of the holy woman.
"Go and call Master Karl," Charlie commanded the guard.
The guard heard the order and yelled at Charlie: "Yes"
As soon as the voice fell, he turned around and walked briskly outside the house.
Looking at the back of the departing guard, Charlie fell into deep thought again.
Footsteps came, and Carl walked in quickly, looking at Charlie with a puzzled look: "Could it be that something happened?"
"How many of our people are already lurking in Fort Gutun?" asked Charlie to Carl.
Carl heard Charlie's inquiry, and thought quickly: "Twenty people"
"I need detailed information about Fort Gutun," Charlie said directly to Carl.
Although there was still a trace of confusion in Karl's eyes, he didn't ask, but slowly said what he learned about Fort Guton: "County Kochi and County Eyre raided Fort Guton, and the three sides started a big melee ten miles west of Fort Guton, and it is said that the three-way battle is now inseparable."
"But not long ago, we heard that there were signs of withdrawal in Kochi and Ayr, so we have lost the best time to sneak attack," Karl said, his tone slightly lost.
Charlie shook his head at Carl: "I don't think it's a good opportunity to sneak up"
"To tell you the truth, Fort Gutun is not an enemy in my eyes, because he only has one castle," said Charlie to Karl.
After a pause, he continued, "What if we take Fort Guton? Maybe the three of them will join forces and storm Fort Gutun."
"Carl, do you think we can stop it then?" Charlie asked rhetorically at Carl.
Listening to this inquiry, Carl shook his head at Charlie: "I couldn't stop it before, but now with our strength, we should be able to block it."
"But now we've lost the best time," Charlie said to Carl.
Carl also understood this truth, so he did not delve into the topic: "You suddenly talked about this topic today, is there something wrong?"
"I'll show you this," Charlie handed Carl the strip of cloth in his hand.
Carl finished reading the news on the strip of cloth, and a worried look appeared in his eyes, and he subconsciously blurted out: "The holy woman took a priest and went to Fort Gutun?"
"W-How is this good," Karl said aloud to Charlie.
Charlie shook his head at Carl and made a headache: "I don't understand why the Holy Maiden would do such a thing when we were about to launch an attack on Fort Gudon"
"Even if you want to proclaim the glory of our lord, why don't you wait," Charlie grumbled to Carl.
Carl calmed down, and then thought quickly, "I actually think that this may or may not be a good thing"
"Good thing?" Charlie looked puzzled.
Then he seemed to shake his head, and said to Carl without thinking, "I don't think it's a good thing."
"Do you know the Church of Light?" Karl asked, thinking of what he had seen in the Church of Light and Paul's high-minded speeches.
Charlie shook his head: "I don't know"
"If you had been there when the Pope and the Men occupied Siegburg, maybe you wouldn't have such doubts," Karl recalls the night of the occupation of Siegburg, and the countless people chanting the scene of the Holy Maiden and the miracle generals, as if he had some confidence in Jenny's actions.
Looking at Carl's expression, Charlie showed a look of surprise: "The night that the siege of Siegburg?"
"I asked for orders to go to Siegburg......" Carl said slowly to Charlie.
When the last word dissipated, Charlie couldn't help but gasp. Although he vaguely deduced something, he didn't expect that something like this would happen outside of his own inference.
"You said that all the people at that time were shouting to Jenny, and our Lord Light Supreme Lord God was alarmed. An angel was sent to canonize the saint and perform a miracle?" asked Charlie to Karl.
Carl nodded at Charlie, but didn't say anything.
"No wonder, no wonder Francis is so desperate for the Church of Light. At first, I thought he had been to the Bright Continent, but now he seems to have been impressed by miracles," Charlie said to Carl.
Then he thought of something and looked at Karl: "This time the saint went to Fort Guton, will it make a miracle come and regain people's hearts in one fell swoop?"
"It's not impossible, and it's not without precedent," Carl said slowly to Charlie.
Charlie slowly took two steps forward, revealing a contemplative expression: "The wise man told us to pay close attention to the dynamics of Fort Gutun, and at the same time to send troops to support immediately if necessary"
"Maybe we need to make some arrangements," Charlie said to Carl.
Karl's eyes flickered, and he replied to Charlie: "I will find a way to inform the people lurking in Fort Gudon to deal with the Holy Maiden, and pay close attention to the information in it."
"But that's not enough," Carl said slowly.
Charlie waved his hand, as if he had made up his mind: "Select the most elite three hundred soldiers, and I will personally lead them secretly to the outside of Fort Gudon, and attack them as soon as things change." At the same time, when necessary, let the troops of Sidon Pass pour out."
"Even if the Sidon Pass is lost, the Holy Maiden cannot be lost," Charlie said firmly to Carl.
Karl nodded heavily: "Sidon Pass will not be lost, and the Holy Maiden will not be lost"
"Maybe before we can attack the city, the Holy Maiden will have already taken Fort Gutun," Karl said in a solemn tone.
Charlie laughed loudly and swept away all worries: "Then we will wish the Holy Maiden to shroud Fort Gudon in the glory of our Lord."
"Come here, select three hundred elites, and they will go out immediately," Charlie yelled outside the house.
The guards standing outside the house shouted in unison: "Yes"
As soon as the words fell, Charlie strode outside.
