CH.29 The Three Goddesses of Vengeance Visit
While extending invitations to all major countries on the mainland, Prime Minister Falunsi was not idle. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info or rather, there are also many important and interesting things happening in the Kingdom of Falensi.
The headlines in January weren't the growth of this year's spring wheat, but the fact that Admiral Karl Holling of the Third Army had finally decided to jump into the grave of marriage. And his object can be said to be both unreasonable and expected, and the reason why he said this is precisely because he actually took the initiative to propose to Anna Bridget.
Although the Third Legion from top to bottom thought that Admiral Hollin would either not get married, if he wanted to get married, the object would definitely be Officer Bridzid. But the script that almost everyone has in their minds should look like this: after a certain drinking party, Admiral Hollin drunken and messy with the stars leads to irreversible results, and is finally strangled by Captain Brigitte with a bowstring to complete the wedding ceremony. This is how it should be, and the officers and men of the Third Army think so.
When Her Majesty invited the bride-to-be for tea, everyone learned what had happened. The cause was laid in the Third Battle of Ark last year. According to Huo Lin, he was touched by what happened to the Prime Minister. At the end of the night's attack, it is unknown who gave him the oolong news that Officer Brigitte had been seriously wounded in the battle, was currently in a coma, and was being rushed to the first aid post. Then the bride-to-be shyly described the situation: "He went crazy looking for me all over the first aid camp, shouting my name there, and finally crouched in the corner and cried." However, Hollin himself later categorically denied that he had ever cried or acted like crying.
Regardless of the truth of the process, Admiral Hollin proposed to Officer Brigitte in mid-January. Of course, according to Hollin, it was the pressure of public opinion created by Captain Brigitte that forced him to make compromises, reluctantly, and righteously propose to the other party. In short, he wanted to show everyone that it was the bride-to-be who was chasing him. Obviously, no sensible person would listen to Admiral Holin's self-proclaimed rhetoric.
One day at the beginning of February, Saugland was in his office discussing the Queen's marriage with Rastigne.
"Lord Rastigne, is there any news from Hitarus?" Sogrend asked first.
"Yes, Lord Luce, I have written back that Prince Nathaniels and Prince Antaras will visit us at that time." Rastigne replied respectfully.
"Is that so? Prince Nathaniels heard that his affair was directly proportional to his fame. ”
"Xia Guan has never heard of it at all." Rastigne actually said unconsciously in his heart: In this regard, the prince cannot be compared with Lord Luce. It should be said that if it were any person on the mainland who was present, I am afraid that such a non-malicious slander would occur.
"However, I am afraid that His Royal Highness Canites, who is currently in a ruling position, would prefer that his younger brother can be favored by His Majesty." Sogrend said suddenly.
"Why do you think so, Lord Leus?"
"If I were to stand on the side of the Hitaros, I would definitely agree with His Highness Canitus. Because His Royal Highness Antaras's mother is so restless, the only princes currently born in Hitaros are Canites and Antaras, and their brother has been bedridden for a long time, and it seems that it is too late to leave an heir to inherit the throne. It is not too much for the current Queen Mother to covet the throne for her son, but it is not easy to surpass His Highness Canites, who has the advantage of popularity, in the first place, not to mention that His Highness Antaras himself does not have such ambitions. The Prime Minister of Farensi analyzed.
"So, if we bring about the marriage between His Highness Antaras and His Majesty, His Highness Canites, who will become King of Hitaros in the future, will be grateful to our country?"
"It should be so, His Highness Antaras' brothers don't want to hurt him." Thorgrande took a sip of tea, "However, we can't use His Majesty's lifelong happiness as a bargaining chip because of this. ”
"Your Majesty doesn't care about Prince Antaras, I don't know which country you will pick if the decision is in your hands?" Rastigne asked, in fact, this was the attitude that Margaret had secretly instructed him to find an opportunity to explore Grande a few days ago.
Sogrend smiled, he picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, "If I had to pick one, I'm afraid I'd pick Henry, Prince of Uss from Zigna." ”
"Is that the prince you asked to visit by name? What is so special about him? ”
"I can't count my words, and it's not accurate to choose such a person. However, this Prince Zigner has the talent of a general, the style of a general, and the degree of a general. All in all, I don't want to fight him on the battlefield in 5 years, Zigner will rise in his generation. ”
"Lord Luce has a very high opinion of him, I don't know how many people on the mainland can deserve this honor?"
"Your Excellency Rastigne has said that there are not a few people in the world who are so big that their abilities surpass me, for example, Lord Lisedal of Navi is not an easy figure to deal with, and Suarez of Iberia is also a rare wise man in the world. Compared with other countries, our country only hates the lack of talent. ”
"Having said all this, Lord Luce, with all due respect, in fact, there are very suitable candidates for marriage with Your Majesty in the country." Rastigne was determined to clarify Saugland's position for Her Majesty.
"Oh, I don't know that there is such a person, and Your Excellency must introduce me." When Sogrend heard what the other party said, he immediately stood up and spoke.
"Lord Leus," Rastigne paused, he still had some scruples about angering the Prime Minister, even if he had Her Majesty behind him, "that person is you." Have you ever thought that if you were to unite with Your Majesty, the political benefits alone would be innumerable, not to mention the ...... if it were in line with your own wishes?"
"Your Excellency Rastigne, please don't go on." Thorgrande clutched his forehead and sat back in his chair.
"Lord Leus......" Rastigne leaned in.
"I'm sorry, but please don't talk about it."
"Wise as Lord Luce, he must have known the reasons for the Lower Official's statement, so what is the reason for Your Excellency's refusal of this proposal?"
"Why?" Sogrend's eyes were a little dazed, "Reason, my own vow, yes, my own vow, Genta will be my only wife, this is my promise to her." You may find it a little ridiculous, but I'm prepared to enforce this constraint seriously. What's more, Your Majesty is only my sovereign, and there are no conditions for love between us. Although because I am also one of His Majesty's many teachers, His Majesty may have some admiration for me. But it was just a normal teacher-student friendship, and His Majesty himself certainly did not think that there might be other feelings here. So, please don't mention it, even if it's a pitiful possibility in theory. ”
"All right, my Prime Minister." Rastigne discovers that Saugland also has his cowardice.
"So about the plan to recruit all kinds of talents through His Majesty's marriage this time......" Sogrerd picked up a document, trying to steer the conversation to more meaningful political matters.
Just then, a Praetorian Guard rushed in.
"Big deal, Lord Luce?!"
"What is the panic, what is the system!" Thorgrande snapped, trying to calm the other man.
"What's wrong?" Rastigne hurriedly asked.
The Praetorian Guards were intimidated by the majesty of Saugland, and hurriedly stood up and saluted, swallowed their saliva, and said: "Someone has openly attacked the office of the Praetorian Guard, and Lord Sauer has already rushed over, and it is said that the other party claims to have come to you. ”
"How dare there be such a bold man?!!" Saugland said, lifting his sword "Tooth Moon" from the side and leaping to his feet. "You take me to see it."
Rastigne looked at the back of the prime minister's departure, and actually had the feeling that the other party was running away, and he must have been a little too tired in his brain. Rastigne thought so, shook his head, and decided to go and take a break.
About 10 minutes earlier, the Janissary Commander-in-Chief, General Ernest Sauer, had received a report from his men that there had been a blatant attack on the Praetorian Guards, who were on duty outside the Praetorian Guard headquarters. Of course, this is not the main reason that makes Sauer angry, but the key is that a whole big man was actually repaired by three women.
Sauer hurried out of the palace, grabbing people as he went. Unfortunately, Larson, who had just wanted to visit Miss Rabelais in the Great Library, caught him. So, very reluctantly, Larson followed Sauer to solve the sudden trouble.
Our clever readers may have guessed who is currently making trouble at the headquarters of the Janissaries of Farensi, yes, the "Three Nemesis of Vengeance" who came from the Mastar to the Falency Command. The reason for their presence is also easy to explain, as a famous person once said, "Never expect a woman's sense of direction, even if she is Athena." "To put it simply, they're lost.
Although they had inquired about the location of the palace several times after entering the city, Mejira, who was full of confidence, brought the three of them to the Praetorian Guard headquarters, which was 1 fathom away from the palace. After receiving the denial of the guards at the gate, Meggeyera was quite dissatisfied with the words that directly touched the sense of honor of the Praetorian Guard. Then, like all street fights, things escalated from spat to shoving, from shoving to brawling.
Alector and Tisiphne also have a headache for Megaella, a troublemaker, but they will never let their sisters suffer. In their mercenary careers, there are many cases where they are provoked by others and lead to fights, which is common in their world. And their opponents have long been away from the days of group fights for many years, so their strength in this regard is a few notches worse.
These three women are already very skilled, not to mention that they are good at cooperating. The Praetorian Guard soldiers on duty soon found themselves in a bitter battle. By the time Sauer and Larsson arrived, five or six people had already fallen on the ground. Megiera was whisking her whip there wantonly while arrogantly mocking her opponent.
Sauer couldn't help frowning when he saw this situation, but he still shouted sensibly: "Stop it!" ”。
"Ah, Lord Sauer and Lord Larson are here, hmph, you better be obedient and arrested." The leader said happily to everyone.
Hearing this, Megaela thought that another opponent had come, and without saying a word, she swung her whip at Sauer.
Sauer didn't expect the other party to attack him directly, so he didn't take precautions. Fortunately, Larsson reacted quickly, grabbed in front of him, raised his cloak, and swung the blow away. At this moment, even Sauer, who was originally going to solve the problem peacefully, was completely enraged. "The fighting dog of the royal family of Pallas", this name is not called in vain.
"Larson, let's go up and teach these three women a lesson!" Sauer drew his sword and said angrily.
"Just what I want, Lord Sauer." Larsen was also furious when he found out that his new woollen cloak had been reimbursed with a whip in order to meet Miss Rabelais. He tossed aside his cloak, which had been largely split in half, and drew his sword as well.
When these two officers joined the fray, the situation of the Praetorian Guard immediately improved. Sauer's attacks were so ferocious that even Tisiphne was forced to retreat by him. Larsen, on the other hand, wore a woollen cloak of resentment and went straight to Megaella's bad luck.
Megaela noticed that the officer who had blocked her blow with her cloak was very fast, and her whip was always close to the other's body, but Larsen was always dodging it. This gave her a lot of headaches, because once she was close to the other party, then she was in big trouble. Megaela glanced at it, and Tisiphne was entangled by another officer, and could only count on Alector to support her. So she cried out.
Alector is dealing with the remaining soldiers, and when she hears her sister's call, she also wants to take out the opponent in front of her as soon as possible. At this moment, a soldier stabbed her with his sword, and she turned sideways to avoid the attack. Then, grab the opponent's wrist and twist it, causing the opponent to release the weapon due to pain and paralysis. In the end, he kicked the soldier away.
The soldier who had been kicked by Alector involuntarily jerked backwards, and then he felt like he had hit an object that was neither hard nor soft, presumably someone. He looked up and saw a familiar face.
"General Denova, why are you here?"
"Ordered to go back to the royal capital on business, what's going on?"
"Jackfleet, why don't you come and help since you're here!" Sauer shouted there, and he and Tisiphne were holding each other's weapons.
"Ah, yes, Lord Sauer, have you been forced to be like this by three women? The future of the Praetorian Guard is in jeopardy. Jackfleet said, turning back to remove his usual tomahawk from his horse.
"Jackfleet, are you still being spoiled by that guy from Hollin? It seems that the level of wind and cool words is getting higher and higher, but I'm afraid that martial arts have regressed. Sauer continued.
"Since Lord Sauer said so, I have no choice but to show my hand, let's see the move!" Jack Fleet said, raising his long battle axe and charging at him.
Alecto bore the brunt of the attack, barely catching the opponent's frontal slash and unloading the power to the side.
"Sister, let me come." Spotting that Alector was clearly at a loss in strength, Tisiphne pushed Sauer away and rushed to help.
Although, Tisiphne's strength is also excellent, and her trident is also a heavy long weapon. However, compared to Jack Fleet's reinforced long battle axe, it is still quite different.
After a few moves, Jackfleet found that his opponent certainly couldn't match him in terms of strength. As a result, he continued to go on the offensive and used moves that forced his opponent to resist. Tisiphne was not willing to be overwhelmed like this, so she only had to fight back whenever she had the chance. Finally, she waited for a gap and stabbed the trident straight through the other party's face. Jackfleet, of course, would not let her succeed, retracting his tomahawk and using the handle of the axe to steadily block the opponent's attack.
"Well, it's time to wrap it up." Jack Fleet said confidently.
"Huh?" Tisiphne was taken aback.
Jackfleet spun the tomahawk in his hand counterclockwise with all his might, and Tisiphne felt a spicy sensation in his hands as the trident and tomahawk held each other. Jackfleet's power advantage was so obvious that Tisiphne couldn't stop the other party's rotation at all. After about five laps, the pain in her palms reached a state of numbness, and the trident fell to the ground with a "dang chang".
Almost at the same time, Larsson finally got close enough to Megiella. Megaela felt that something was wrong, but no matter how much she struggled at this point, it was in vain. Larsson made a forward pit and smoothly threw Megiella, who was in the process of retreating, to the ground.
"Alright, pay for my new cloak! I managed to save up enough money to buy one like this, and I wanted Aretha to see it. Larson shouted.
"Oops, am I the only one left?" Alector said to herself, Sauer's smile in front of her made her feel bad.
Fortunately, at this time, Sogrerd also rushed over.
"I said, who's going to explain to me what's going on? Your Excellency, your present posture would be unnecessarily misleading. Thorgrande began.
Larsson realized that his posture was indecent, and hurriedly jumped up from Megiella's body, awkwardly patting the almost non-existent dust on his body.
"Lord Luce, I seem to have caused you trouble." Alecto put away his sword and walked over and bowed his head.
"It seems that the court of Mastar did not teach you any rules. Okay, let's go and take care of the wound first. Jack Fleet, find a hotel for the three ladies to house them. "Sogrand made such an arrangement.
"Lord Sauer, do you have any opinions?" Sogre saw Sauer's smile.
"Oh no, nothing."
"Jackfleet, take care of them, and the Praetorian Guards will go back to their posts."
"Yes, Lord Luce."
Jackfleet walked back to his mount, put down his tomahawk, removed his bandage, and walked over to Tisiphne.
"Hold your hand out." He said.
Tisiphne was afraid of his strength, so she had no choice but to obey. Jack Fleet grabbed her hand and looked at it, and the palm of her hand had been rubbed off a piece of skin, and it was dripping with blood.
"What a strong guy." Jack Fleet muttered, a little rough, but neatly bandaged her wound.
"Alright, you guys come with me." Jack Fleet finished handling Tisiphne's hands, led the horse and said to the "Three Nemesis", and then walked straight away, regardless of whether the other party followed.
