Chapter Seventy-Four: Service of Letters
"Stop!
In the camp outside the holy city, there was a sudden sound, which was particularly obvious in the originally peaceful camp, at this time the sun had set in the west, and the time for dinner was also the time when everyone's spirits began to relax, but the guards of the Hiss Empire were still very dedicated to stop this mysterious figure who suddenly appeared at the gate of the camp.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he is mysterious, originally the soldiers of the four countries and the clergy of the Holy See often appear here, but the person in front of him is covered by a black cloak all over his body, even if he is wearing black leather gloves on his hands, not even a trace of skin is exposed.
If that's not suspicious enough, then there probably isn't anyone in the world who can be called suspicious.
"This is your letter from General Roderick, to your chief!"
After a deep voice, the man took out a palm-sized letter from his bosom and handed it to the guard, and without waiting for the other party to answer, he turned around and left, without any intention of staying here.
"Wait!
Naturally, the guards would not let go of this suspicious person so easily, but unfortunately the other party was obviously prepared, and after a whistle, he saw a horse rushing out of the slope, and after picking up the man, he quickly galloped away.
After the two soldiers glanced at each other, they could only shake their heads helplessly, how could two legs catch up with four legs, although they were very reluctant in their hearts, they could only let go of this mysterious person.
"By the way, this letter ......"
Within minutes, the letter was placed on Serra's desk, Roderick's aide-de-camp, the most senior person in the camp and the object of Roderick's special advice before leaving.
Serra picked up the letter and looked at it carefully several times, he had not yet opened the wax seal, and he did not know the contents of the letter, but at this critical moment, the letter could be said to have disrupted all his plans, and besides, the letter was sent by Roderick.
It was impossible to tell if it was true or not, but Sierra hoped from the bottom of his heart that it was really a letter from Roderick, so that he could know what had happened to his closest prefect and why the king had not been heard from.
Taking a deep breath, Serra picked up the spatula on the side of the table, and without hesitation, she directly picked up the wax seal, and after opening the folded letter, Serra just glanced at the contents of the letter, and a look of ecstasy appeared on her face.
"It's really a letter written by the general, it's great!"
Soon, though, Serra calmed down, and thinking of the mysterious messenger, Serra knew that the matter must be quite secretive, and that it was still unknown what Roderick was like now.
Without thinking much about it, Serra hurriedly took out a small notebook from the cabinet next to him, and looked at the letter, which was written in a rather special code, which even the military of the Hiss Empire did not know, except for several high-ranking members of the King's Guard, who knew this code, and it was not very commonly used.
This is also an important reason why Serra was able to confirm at first glance that the letter was definitely written by Roderick and not forged by someone else.
"King Crum...... Mutiny...... Pope King ...... Missing, Notification ...... Watch and see what happens!"
After intermittently translating the contents of the letter, Serra's mouth was a little closed, the amount of information contained in this short letter was not only huge, but the content was also quite amazing, of course Serra would not doubt the authenticity of the information given by Roderick, but once the news spread, I don't know what uproar it will cause.
For fear of unclear explanations and doubts about the reaction, Roderick did not explain the matter of the demons in the letter, and Serra naturally did not know what kind of illness Rudy III committed to such a thing.
And what Serra, who had been staying in the camp and being blocked, did not know that the news had spread quickly on the mainland at the behest of the Holy See.
Of course, the most important thing for Sierra now is to adjust the plan while trying to pacify the armies of Shenlong and Talos as much as possible according to Roderick's orders, and then wait for instructions on the next step.
If it weren't for this letter, Sierra would have led the Hiss army to break out tonight, and at the same time get the news back home as quickly as possible, preparing for a series of possible crises, and the plans of the two armies should be roughly the same.
Thinking of this, Serra suddenly recalled that when several people were discussing together yesterday, the remaining adjutant of the Kram Empire had been trying to encourage everyone to go to war with the Holy See army, and for all considerations, neither he nor the other two agreed, but Serra still remembered that the adjutant of the Shenlong Empire was obviously a little moved.
"No, that's not going to work!"
slapped the table, but it alarmed the soldiers outside.
"General, what's the matter, are you going to act?"
"No, the operation is canceled, you go and call all the captains, I have something to announce. By the way, help me go and invite the two lieutenants of the Shenlong Empire and the Talos Empire, and say that I have important matters to communicate with the two of them, and please make sure they take the time to come!"
Although Serra's order was too abrupt, the soldier still answered the order and went down, without doubt or question, it was really worthy of the army brought out by Roderick, and the strict implementation of the military order had been engraved into his bones, and with this letter, Serra was not at all worried that the captains in the army would oppose this order.
The only thing that made him a little uneasy was Shenlong and Talos's side, I don't know if the two lieutenants will come, and if they can make them believe everything they say after they come.
"Grand Priest!"
"Well, how's it going?"
After Manto turned over and dismounted, he asked directly about the situation, and after reporting the situation to Allen, Manto didn't have time to have a meal on the holy mountain, so he hurried to the bottom of the mountain, calculating the time, and it was not much later than the person he arranged to go down the mountain to deliver the letter.
"Grand Priest, the camps of the armies of the other countries are still relatively normal, and there is no movement. However, the generals of the Hiss Empire suddenly gathered, and they also sent people to the camp of Shenlong and Talos, I don't know ......"
Manto breathed a sigh of relief, as it seemed that the messenger he had sent had concealed even the people who had been monitoring the camp, and that the Hiss lieutenant must have seen Roderick's secret message and was already in action.
"Well, it's okay, don't worry too much, if you arrange for manpower, just withdraw first. ”
"Huh......? Okay!"
Originally, the man wanted to say something, but seeing that Manto's serious face didn't seem to be joking, he wisely closed his mouth and turned around to give the order.
Manto's prediction was right, in order to prevent accidents, he had indeed arranged manpower around the Hiss camp, but since Manto asked for it, he had to withdraw.
