Chapter 5: Another Princess

"Who the hell is in that carriage in the middle? Do you know?"

Early the next morning, the carriage drove into the inn. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Then, the post station fried the pot.

Sun Chenghuan and them stopped.

Although it is impossible for them to stay here for too long because of the tight schedule, there are some things that they always have to report to the parties concerned, so that the official can make some responses and plans.

So, while eating a late breakfast at the post station, Sun Chenghuan was interrogated by his classmates again.

"It's better not to know. Otherwise, we would have known it a long time ago. Sun Chenghuan shook his head and did not answer Joey's question.

"What kind of mystery are you playing with us!" Joey looked unpleasant.

"It's not mystery, it's this...... It can be a lot more complicated than we think. Sun Chenghuan shook his head.

"What do you mean?" Sun Chenghuan's question and answer to Joey also attracted Suowan's attention.

"That's it...... Didn't you get any news in advance?" Sun Chenghuan looked at Suo Wan.

Among this group, he is the largest.

β€œ...... What should I know?" said Sovan's brow.

This sentence has been clearly demonstrated.

The "people above" probably know.

"How do you know?" said Grant, a little unwillingly beside him.

"Guess. Sun Chenghuan just said lightly.

Then, don't open your mouth.

This belated breakfast went on quickly.

Then, hit the road again.

Still, Sun Chenghuan and their carriage walked in front, Ruiwen and their carriage were behind, and in the middle, the one driven by Master.

"Always be prepared. Sun Chenghuan got into the carriage and said to Grant and Suowan, who also got into the carriage, "Don't panic if something like last night happens again." ”

"That is, the attack ......"

"It will continue until we reach Onica. Sun Chenghuan said very seriously. "And, the closer you get to Onica, the more serious it will be. ”

"Our opponents ......"

"I don't know, maybe it's Carter, maybe it's Astrana, maybe it's Merce. Sun Chenghuan shook his head.

β€œ...... Have we become the public enemy of the world?" Grant looked ridiculous, "How can we all be national ......"

"Because our opponent is the army. Sun Chenghuan replied.

Be quiet.

Long.

"On the carriage in the middle is ...... Princess Jarro?" Sovan finally spoke.

"Hmm. ”

"How did you know her?"

"Before she came to Mills, she was in Yinghao. Sun Chenghuan said lightly, "We met at that time." ”

β€œ...... Princess?Is there still a so-called princess?" Grant still didn't like the feeling of being excluded by Sun Chenghuan and Suo Wan.

"If there is a king, there will be a princess. Sowan glanced at Grant, "Did you finish your history class for nothing?"

β€œ...... Astrana?" Grant reacted immediately, "Jarro...... Is it surnamed Liu?"

"Hmm. You guessed it. Sovan nodded. "The Liu royal family, one of the three kings of Astrana. Moreover, the only heir. Say she's a princess, no problem. ”

Smart people talk to each other, it's very worry-free.

"That'...... I understand. Grant was only in the flash of lightning, and he understood what situation they were facing now.

There was silence in the carriage.

"How did you and Princess Jarro meet?" Grant finally broke the silence.

Otherwise, it was too depressing in the carriage, and there was a feeling of being escorted to the execution ground.

"More than five years ago, I went fishing with my friends to the beach one day in Yingao City, but after leaving the city, I was attacked by a large group of wild bears in the woods. Sun Chenghuan said simply, "I got separated from my friends and got lost in the woods, and when I was looking for my way around, I saw a group of four people, three of whom were killed by bears, and one person was still alive." I carried the still alive man on my back to find my way through the woods, and when I found the way, I came out, and the still alive man was saved by my friend using light magic. That's it. ”

"Is that Jarro?" said Sovan, with a look of disbelief.

"How did she end up near Advent City? Isn't it said that she was hunted by the rebels of Astrana and rescued by our men near the border?"

And then.

The two of them looked at each other.

Sun Chenghuan's words, they believed.

They are not those civilians, and the more they know, the more they can determine the meaning of Sun Chenghuan's words.

If he was really chased and killed by the rebels, and then rescued by the Merce Kingdom, then in the past five years, the group of young Zhuang factions in the Council of Elders would have already drummed up sending troops to help the rebels overthrow Jarro to restore the country.

In the past five years, Merce's war with Astrana has always been on the defensive.

The reason has never been for outsiders, and today, they finally understand.

Princess Jarro is actually closer to being "kidnapped" to Merce than being rescued, right?

This starts with the political system of the Astrana country. Previously, Astrana, like Merce, was a council of elders under the leadership of the three elders.

It's just that after the melee after the disappearance of Penglai Kingdom, the three powerful elders of Astrana are not as selfless as Merce's.

The three elders proclaimed themselves kings.

Then, the three of them "divided" Astrana like this.

It's just that, externally, they are still a unified "Astrana".

Because they also all know that only by uniting can it be possible to face the attack of Carter and Merce.

This has been going on for hundreds of years.

Until a few years ago, a large-scale military coup d'Γ©tat broke out under the leadership of a duke from the army.

He made full preparations, and at the same time contacted several dukes with troops under the three princes, and attacked at the same time.

The three princes were basically wiped out.

They then announced the abolition of the Three Kings and a return to the old system of presbyterian rulings.

All this was originally going well, after all, for all the nobles, the existence of the presbytery, like a carrot on a stick, is very symbolic.

Just when people thought that Astrana, who had entered a fork in the road because of the greed of the three elders, was going to return to normalcy.

Last year, Astrana experienced a once-in-a-century drought that resulted in a very poor grain harvest.

Then, through a military rebellion, the administrator of the Astrana rebels, who overthrew the previous change from the three elders to the balanced system of the three kings managing their own territories, made a very stupid decision: declare war on Merce and Carter at the same time, and go to grab food......

It's just that the war between the four countries has been going on for hundreds of years, and it is still an anxious balance of power, and no one can defeat anyone, and it's not because everyone is just playing.

It's just that everyone's strength is about the same.

So, after the big battle at the end of last year and the beginning of this year, there was another turmoil in Astrana.

The rebels, who were previously known as "asking for the lives of the people", have been nailed to the pillar of shame.

Those who had previously supported the overthrow of the Three Kings system once again overthrew the rebels they had single-handedly pushed to power.

The Presbyterian system, which was actually controlled by a few dukes of the rebels, ended here again.

After that, there was peace talks with Carter and Merce.

The scale of the war with Carter was not large, so the peace talks went quite smoothly, but the war with Merce killed many people, and the peace talks naturally will not be so simple.

So, the negotiations went on from spring to summer.

Now, it seems that Merce is about to play this trump card in his hand.

The only descendant of the Liu clan, the only one of your three kings who has not been exterminated, is in our country of Muth.

It was we who protected her so that she was not killed by the rebels.

We ask her to return to her homeland to reclaim the fiefdoms of her ancestors......

Even a person like Sun Chenghuan, who majored in martial arts and magic, could guess what kind of request the elders of Merce would make.

After the end of last year and the beginning of this year, because the reckless rebels began to miss the era of the Three Kings Division, the people would definitely be willing to let Jarro return to the former Liu fiefdom of Astranna.

It's just that although the people are willing, it doesn't mean that the nobles will be willing, after all, many of those territories have already been divided by the rebels to others.

So, fighting is definitely indispensable.

When the time comes, who can a young princess rely on?

At that time, that territory ...... Is there any difference between being part of the Merce?

Carter wouldn't allow this kind of thing, let alone Astrana, and even some of the young Warriors of the Merce military would not allow it to happen.

You must know that war is the only way for them to be knighted, and if the Presbyterians occupy one-third of the territory of Astrana in this way, these young Zhuang officers may not have the opportunity to be knighted in their lives.

You have to make a lot of military exploits to occupy such a large piece of territory! Compared with such a "thousand-mile expansion" merit, there is really nothing to ask for credit for killing dozens or hundreds of enemies.

Therefore, any of these three parties could launch this assassination.

And whichever side it is......

None of them were able to compete with just six students, and two people who had no combat power at all.

"Do your best, peace with the destiny. Grant let out a long sigh and lay down on the floor, closing his eyes.
