Baron Isaac and Admiral Max on the Ice Dragon certainly didn't know the details. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The note brought by the pigeon only read, "Someone tried to enter the government palace and take Taylor, but failed", and nothing else was mentioned, and probably the agent who sent the letter himself did not know the specific situation.
Baron Isaac looked at the branch again, and suddenly found something: "Admiral Max, your spies don't even know what the person who broke in looks like, how can you think that they are going to rescue that old fellow Taylor?"
"My lord," replied Max, "since the intruders are not our people, whether they are the Alliance Navy or those pirates, they must be our enemies, and the only reason they want to enter the palace is to take Taylor?"
"I still don't understand, Admiral. Baron Isaac's curiosity was still high, "How the hell did you get that old guy to that little part of the Imperial Palace? We didn't land on these two Maple Islands, did we?"
Admiral Max hesitated, he didn't want to reveal the way to trap Taylor, but the other party was the emperor's envoy, so it was better to say a few words to him roughly, anyway, if he didn't reveal too many details, it wouldn't have any impact on what had already been done.
"This is the credit of Prime Minister Hall," replied Max, "and the Prime Minister has brought several sealed jars from the laboratory for our agents to arrange around the palace before the war." I don't know the specific operations of the temple and the laboratory, but I know that since the arrangement was completed, an invisible barrier has formed around the government palace, and no one can pass through, as long as someone tries to break in, what awaits him is a series of explosions. ā
"Isn't there something wrong with the lab?" asked Baron Isaac, surprised.
"Gale has indeed suffered heavy losses, but the laboratory headquarters in Flashsprings has not been affected. Max replied.
"Well, that sounds interesting!" said Baron Isaac, even more interested, "and our own people can't pass it?"
"No, Prime Minister Hall has brought some amulets that you can wear without being affected, and that's what our spies use to get in and out. Max said.
"Interesting, do you have those talismans here, show me!" Baron Isaac asked.
Isaac nodded, pulling out a small box from the drawer that wasn't much bigger than the palm of his hand. He opened the lid of the box, and there were a dozen small round amulets inside.
"Lend me this!" Isaac snatched the box.
"Envoy, what are you going to do with it?" Max didn't stop immediately.
Of course, he was not generous enough to lend these talismans to the other party casually, and against such a weak aristocratic boy, he could snatch them back at any time, and there was no need to turn his face immediately.
"I had a great idea, a very interesting idea!" Isaac said, holding the amulet.
"What's that?" General Max was still trying to ask.
"I want to go to the island and make peace with that Taylor!
"Peace talks?" Blair, the sea knight next to him, couldn't hold his breath first,
"yes," Isaac fiddled with the amulets in the box with his fingers, "that Taylor is so famous, I thought I'd meet him." ā
"But it's the time of war, isn't it the right time?" Blair advised.
"He's a lot old, and if he doesn't hurry up and see it, how will he ever see him alive?" said Isaac.
"But my lord, Your Majesty had an order when he went to war, and this time, there will be no reconciliation!" said Blair, sweating profusely.
"I know, I just came out of Sword and Spear Island, can I still not know? I didn't say that it was a real peace talk. Isaac suddenly smiled, he turned to Admiral Max and asked, "Admiral Max, why did you say Your Majesty sent me here?"
Admiral Max looked up and stared at Baron Isaac for a moment. He suddenly realized that the other party might not be as idiotic as he thought.
"You and I know that. He replied.
"Then I won't say more, if I go to the island for peace talks, there will definitely be no results, but during the time I left, even if your soldiers can't hold their breath, they can only wait for me to come back and make a fuss, right?"
"Besides, the people of the Alliance can't pass through the barrier you mentioned, but we're completely unhindered, so their morale should be much lower if they make such a trip, right?" Baron Isaac said, picking up a talisman from his box and holding it up to the sun, but his eyes were set on the island of North Maple Song in the distance.
"But how can you be sure of your safety?" Blair had only been a knight lord for a few months, but he had been a lord guard for several years, and this reaction was almost instinctive.
"Well, you've met Taylor, haven't you? I've heard that the Knights used to be quite close to them. Isaac asked, patting him on the shoulder.
"Yes. But only the exiled Mores is Taylor's cronies, and the rest of us have nothing to do with him!" Blair hastened to clarify, if the envoy felt that his position was problematic, it would not be a trivial matter.
"Don't worry, I didn't doubt what you meant. I mean, do you think he's a fool?" asked Isaac.
Blair didn't understand what he wanted to ask, so he shook his head: "Not stupid. ā
"It's good not to be stupid. Anyone who is not a fool will understand that killing an emissary who goes to negotiate will not help their situation in any way. Isaac said.
"And what if he takes you hostage?" Blair asked.
Baron Isaac sighed: "The most inconspicuous little role of the Spencer family, just a baron, Admiral Max will definitely not delay the attack because of such a person, this is clear to the Admiral, as long as Taylor is not stupid, he will also be clear." ā
"Your suggestion, my lord, is too sudden, please allow me to consider it. Admiral Max said.
"It's easy to say, you can just give me an answer tomorrow, time waits for no one. Isaac said, shoving the box containing the amulet back into his hand.
Sending the baron away, Admiral Max thought about it for a long time.
What the other party said is not unreasonable, and it is not impossible to have a peace talk now, but the noble boy's actions are really unpredictable, and it is not easy to promise any impossible conditions in front of Taylor, or provoke the other party to put himself in.
However, on the other hand, think about it, even if he dies on Beifeng Song Island, with his own understanding of the emperor, His Majesty will definitely not treat him because of such a kid, as long as he asks him to write a letter to His Majesty the Emperor, explaining that the idea of peace talks is completely his own will.
His own fleet really needs something to raise its spirit. Max thought.
