Early the next morning, Rogge dispatched a team of freelancers to escort Prince Nord out of the city and back to the Nord Kingdom. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

As soon as Prince Nord stepped into the castle in the Nord Kingdom, the freelancers could leave with their whole body.

In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, this escort mission is still led by the 'knight under the hooves' Brune.

After a simple breakfast in Sooke's tavern, Rogge went to the Earl's Mansion to report on the latest progress of the bandits.

When the Freelancers show up in the Earl's private study, Harrick is reporting to Count Arassis about what happened last night in Sook's Tavern.

The wise Maester Cordion was also in the study, but the learned old man seemed to be busy writing letters for the Earl.

After listening to Harrick's report, Count Arassis turned to look at his First Horseman. "Rogge, thank you for your hard work. ”

Rogge said calmly, "As the guardian of Chanda City, I am just doing my duty. ”

Count Arassis, however, still praised, "This time you saved hundreds of thousands of freedmen in Chanda City from the wrath of the Nords. ”

There was not the slightest exaggeration in the Count's words. If Prince Nord encounters an accident in Chanda City, King Ragnar will not rest until he razes Chanda City to the ground.

"Your Excellency's words are serious. Rogge was a little flattered.

"Is Prince Nord still at the Sooke Tavern?" asked Count Arassis.

Rogge said to the Count, "I have sent a group of free knights to escort the prince out of the city. In the end, he emphasized. "It was Brune who led the team. ”

"That's what Bruen does best. Count Aracis said with a look of approval. "I am relieved to entrust him with the task of escorting the prince. ”

Brune's martial arts are second only to Rogge, known as the 'First Knight', in the entire Free Knights. And in terms of guards, it is more than that.

It was precisely because Rogge himself realized this that he persuaded Brune to take charge of the important task of escorting Prince Nord this time.

"Your Excellency," Harrick said after a long thought. "The Assassin's attack seemed like a sudden attack, but I thought it had been premeditated. ”

"How so?" asked Count Arassis, not without concern.

"The Assassins were a surprise attack," Harrick began to elaborate on his judgment. That is, the Assassin knew the identity of the target from the beginning. ”

"It stands to reason that the Assassin should have known about the Prince's whereabouts for a long time, so the Assassin should have had more than one chance to assassinate the Prince, but he chose to do it in Chanda City. ”

The above points are all the results and judgments that Harrick has obtained from not sleeping all night and constantly using his brain to analyze, which is most in line with the results and judgments behind the scenes.

"You're saying that killing the prince was not the ultimate goal of the Assassins. "Count Arassis came to a conclusion.

"Yes, my lord," Harrick nodded. "Pushing Chanda City into a pit of fire is the ultimate goal of the Assassins. ”

Rogge speculated, "So, the mastermind behind this assassin is a Virgian. ”

"It's very likely, but it can't be ruled out that it was an assassin hired by another kingdom. Harrick spoke his mind.

The Arabic Jue felt a little uneasy, perhaps this matter was not as simple as they judged at the moment.

It shows that the Virgians are indeed the most likely behind the scenes. After all, a few months ago, Taisha Boye had threatened him in front of this study to destroy the city of Zenda.

But is the whole thing really as Tessapeyeh said? Destroying the city of Chanda would do the Vigians no good. On the contrary, it will lead to a sharp rise in domestic prices and even shortages.

"Is there any news on the Kingdom of Vegia and the Kingdom of Svadia?" Count Arasis asked Lady Cordion instead.

"My lord, according to the news brought back by the carrier pigeons, the Virgians have divided their forces into three directions to launch an offensive against the Nords. Maester Cordion stopped what he was doing, and looked up to report to the Count what he had learned.

"There have been no changes in the Kingdom of Swadia, except for the Storm Knights under the command of Duke Goering, who are deployed near the armies of the Nords and Virgians. When Cordion had finished, he went back to his business.

"The Knights of the Storm shouldn't be there," said Count Arassis hesitantly. "Unless...... The son of Duke Goering did not return to him safely. ”

"My lord," Harrick emphasized. "Brune did escort Duke Goering's son out of Chanda's territory safely. ”

"I have no doubts. Count Arassis noted. But Bruen only sent the son of Duke Goering out of Chanda's domain. ”

"Do you suspect that someone else has taken you or murdered you?" said Harrick.

"There was a real lack of consideration at the time, if we sent a team of men to send it back safely. Count Arassis's tone sounded a little heavy.

"It doesn't matter who took his son," Rogge commented. "At least Storm already knows that his son is not harmed in Chanda City, and we are not obligated to be his son's babysitter. ”

Count Arassis was not worried about the safety of Duke Goering's son, but it was highly likely that the Kingdom of Svadia would be involved in the war between the Nords and the Virgians.

"Maester Cordion," Count Arassis asked. "I'm talking about the news on the Nord side. ”

"My lord," the old bachelor stopped what he was doing and reported. "The Nords are not idle, to be precise, they have been preparing before Rudayar goes to Svadia. ”

"They were hunting extensively to stock up on furs and bacon, gathering conscripts, crafting weapons, fortifying the Castles of Jeerberg and Ruda, cutting down trees to make rolling logs and transporting them to the two castles. ”

"It's all going on in an orderly manner, the Nords are the least fearful people on the continent, their courage and strength are innate, and the best way to use them is to fight. ”

"So, almost all of Nordjar advocated war, and King Ragnar was inclined to war with the Virgians. ”

Maester Cordion unhurriedly told him all that he knew, all about the Nord, to Count Arassis, to whom he was loyal.

"King Ragnar believes that even if the Swadians and Virgians unite, Nord will be able to withstand it. Harrick made a judgment.

"Because Odin, the god of war, bestowed upon King Ragnar three treasures: the bravery of the Nords, the unity of the Yars, and the wisdom of Ruda. Count Arassis pointed out sharply.

"Your Excellency," Harrick continued to report to the Count about Chanda's situation. "Recently, quite a few refugees from the Nord Kingdom and the Kingdom of Virginia have been stationed outside the city. ”

"The two nations are at war on the front lines, and it is inevitable that some civilians will want to seek refuge in the city of Chanda. "Count Arassis thinks this is normal.

"If the number of refugees continues like this, I am afraid that it will lead to riots. Harrick voiced his concerns.

"Resettle these refugees as much as possible," Count Arassis ordered to his sheriff. "We sent people to distribute food once a day in the morning and once in the evening to prevent starvation, and sent a few more doctors to make rounds in the camp. ”

"I'll do it right away. ”

"Go!" said Count Arassis at last. "Force must not be used against those refugees unless absolutely necessary. ”

"Yes, my lord!" Harrick commanded.

"Rog," Count Arassis reminded him. "It's true that the pirates in the area around the You River have stopped a lot lately, but you can't let that be a fool of you. ”

"Don't worry, my lord," Rogge said in a firm tone. "After the team has been in the city for a few days, I will continue to search for the remnants of the pirate gang with the bandits. ”

"Well, go get busy! I'm a little tired. ”

"Subordinates retire!"
