Chapter 53: Bad Conjecture
It is spring, and the importance of spring to the year is undeniable, and at this time of labor is required for farming, the armies of most countries will be in a state of rest to ensure that the important spring planting is not affected. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
It is probably the professional soldiers of the Holy See Knights who do not produce that will maintain their original combat effectiveness in this season.
Therefore, it is unlikely that this news will not be noticed by Rehard, don't look at the fact that the vacation of a squad leader was suddenly canceled, which shows that in this critical season, the Kram Empire is uncharacteristically amassing troops.
"Okay, I see, keep an eye on everything that has changed lately, and don't let go of any clues. ”
After Reichard gave the command, he let the three of them retreat first, and sat alone in the tent, tapping a finger on the table.
"That's not right. ”
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, Rehard clapped his hands vigorously and shouted.
"What's wrong?"
When Lori heard the commotion, she walked straight into the tent, which made Rehard a little worried when she had never looked like this.
Seeing Lori come in, Rehard had a rare intention of not even joking, and hurriedly asked Lori, "Did you receive the news of the Pope's disappearance just today?"
"That's right. Lori was a little puzzled by Reichard's sudden question, she couldn't understand how Rehard could have asked such a brainless question, "I didn't report it to you as soon as I got the news!"
As he spoke, Lori didn't forget to point to the open envelope on the table, Reichard said this, it was simply suspecting that Lori was hiding the news, how could she not be angry.
"Ah, that's not what I meant. ”
Rehard explained, but he also seemed to feel that his explanation was too weak, so he took the matter with the gesture of picking up the letter on the table.
There was no problem with the letter, the content was exactly what Lori said, and there was no sign of alteration, and the wax seal on the envelope was also opened by Lori, indicating that the letter had not been opened before.
"Isn't Crumb's sudden build-up of troops due to news of the Pope's disappearance?
Rehard's mind was full of doubts, the Holy See's communication ability was second to none on the mainland, and he did not think that the Kram Empire would be able to get the news before him.
In this way, the real reason for the Kram Empire's army to gather troops is even more debatable, Rehard understood that Edward IV must have a reason why he must be stationed here, so now it seems that the Mofram Empire is going to use force against the Holy See?
Rehard was taken aback by this idea, if this really happened, it would mean that the Holy Spirit Continent, which had been peaceful for thousands of years, would once again be plunged into war.
Although as a soldier, you should be more active whenever there is a war, after all, this means that you have the opportunity to obtain war merits, and the importance of war merits for soldiers is needless to say.
But Rehard is different, as the head of the knights of the Holy See, military exploits cannot become his promotion capital, and Rehard himself is not like Hanssad, he is very averse to war, and can be regarded as a pacifist.
However, it is still too early to say this, and Rehard is not sure what the idea of the Kram Empire is, so he can only order people to closely monitor and wait for the follow-up news, if there is a war, Rehard will naturally not run away.
Lori only saw that Rehard was the same as a chameleon, his face constantly changing, sometimes worried, sometimes a little nervous, and finally he became determined, completely unable to understand what Rehard was thinking.
"This, Captain, is something wrong?"
At this time, Lori didn't pursue Rehard's question just now, and Rehard, who had always seemed a little immodest in front of her, suddenly became like this, which made her even more worried.
Rehard waved his hand and said, "Oh, it's nothing, just think of something." By the way, can you send a letter to the Holy See?"
"Send a letter, but didn't they say that there should be no contact for the time being?"
"Huh?"
Only then did Rehard realize that he had been ignoring some important information, and if the disappearance of Edward IV was deliberately designed by his old man, then why should the communication be suspended?
Even if it is to strengthen the authenticity, there is no need to do so, the matter of the Blazing Sun Knights is very secretive, and there is no need to deliberately stop communication at such a critical juncture.
In addition to wasting time, Rehard did not see even the slightest benefit, and believed that the Pope would not make such a foolish decision, unless he had some ulterior motives.
This is a rare occurrence and can almost be ruled out by Rehard, leaving only one possibility that something really happened to the Pope, and the Holy Mountain is now under real martial law, so the liaison will ask to stop contact in the letter sent.
"Again...... What's wrong with that?"
Lori suddenly felt that he shouldn't have spoken today, why every time he opened his mouth, the head of the regiment would have to "change his face drastically", if he hadn't seen that Rehard was definitely not teasing himself, Lori almost turned around and left.
"Lori, you're often out and about, have you heard any rumors about the Holy See lately?"
As a full-time messenger, Lori does not usually live in a camp in the mountains, but in a small city in the Talos Empire closest to the Nags Mountains.
The team in charge of scouting the city has not yet returned in time, and Rehard is eager to know some news to confirm his suspicions, so he asks Lori directly, although it can't be compared with professional scouts, but she always knows more news than people nested in the mountains.
"Rumors about the Holy See, let me think about it......" Lori pointed a finger on her temple, tilting her head to think, since she was not a member of the Holy See, she was not so sensitive to news about the Holy See, and was suddenly asked by Reichard, and she couldn't help but think about it.
Lehard didn't mean to urge Lori, and sat down quietly, now his mood was also a little flustered, and it happened so suddenly that he didn't even have the slightest preparation.
"Ah, I remember, a few days ago I heard that the Holy Son suddenly appeared in the Divine Dragon Empire and is rushing back to Augsig!"
Lori looked up at Rehard in some surprise, the news she had managed to recall, but Rehard didn't show any happy expression.
"I haven't heard of this news last time, which means that the news about the Holy Son has spread within five days. ”
The news that Lori remembered made Rehard understand that things were probably going in the worst direction, and what would happen next seemed even more confusing.
