Chapter 125: The Man Behind the Scenes
On August 19, 316 in the imperial calendar, the headquarters of the resistance army in the White Horse Mountains of Liujing County, the eastern province was stationed, and the leader of the resistance army, Lancelot, was in a hidden cave, carefully studying the map with a dim oil lamp. The medicine was extremely scarce, and the blockade of the Imperial Army and the life of the Resistance Army were very difficult, and Lancelot had been racking his brains for a long time in order to find a way out, and he couldn't think of any good way.
The not-so-bright oil lamp reflected Lancelot's shadow on the cave wall, and a young woman came out of Lancelot's shadow very strangely.
The keen Lancelot suddenly felt that there was suddenly one more person in the cave where he was the only one, and hurriedly took out the magic crystal pistol from his waist and shouted, "What person!"
The young woman who came out of the shadows didn't make any moves, allowing Lancelot to point a gun at him and smile, Lancelot felt that he was in control of the scene, and then began to look at the person who suddenly appeared in front of him.
Very young and looks only in her early twenties, with long silver-white flowing hair hanging down the back of her head, red pupils that don't seem to have any temperature, a delicate and beautiful face and super figure, wearing a black modified women's military uniform, a pair of black long heels wrapped around her straight legs, no matter how you look at it, she is a super beauty.
"Who are you, and how did you get in?"
Facing Lancelot's question, the woman stroked the long hair behind her head with her right hand and showed a charming smile: "I'm a businessman and want to make a deal with you." β
"I never trade with the Phoenix people. β
Lancelot, who hated Phoenix and the Phoenix Empire so much, refused the woman's proposal without even opening his mouth, and wanted to pull the trigger and kill the beautiful woman in front of him with a slight movement of his fingers.
The woman noticed Lancelot's movements, her body suddenly sank and disappeared to the ground of the cave, and before Lancelot could react, she felt herself fly up and fall heavily to the ground, one high heel stepped on her right hand holding the gun, and the other stepped on her chest, and the woman who disappeared just now took out a one-handed stabbing sword against his throat out of nowhere.
"It's not a gentleman's act to refuse a lady's request. The woman stepped on Lancelot's right foot on Lancelot's chest with a slight force, Lancelot felt a huge force that made his sternum rattle, and after a little lesson to Lancelot, the woman took her feet away from him and said, "Now can you hear about the deal between us?"
Lancelot glared at the woman angrily, but he had to hold back his anger and ask, "What deal do you want to make with me?"
The woman smiled, took back her bayonet sword, sat down on the only chair in the cave, and said, "In two days, an imperial army of one hundred men will pass through the White Horse Mountains, and this imperial army is escorting a big man to the port, I ask you to take your men to destroy that imperial army, and take the big man back and give it to me." β
"Big shot, is this such an infighting between the upper echelons of the Empire?" Lancelot said with a sarcastic smile on his face, "What good will I do if I promise?"
"The benefits are, of course, huge. The woman lifted her left foot and put it on her right foot, and the absolute field between the stockings and the skirt evoked reverie, "I can provide you with a large number of weapons, food, and ammunition, all of which are the standard equipment of the Imperial Army, and then arrange for you to break out of the encirclement and let you swim in the sea?"
Lancelot's brain was racing to think about the pros and cons, and after half a ring, he said: "I did it, but you need to send me weapons, food and ammunition in advance, my people you also know that there are not many weapons, if you go to fight the enemy with your bare hands, even if you fight one out of ten, you may not be able to fight, and I am afraid that the transaction with you will also be affected at that time." β
"I can send you enough weapons and ammunition that won't interfere with the trade, and I'll give it to you when the rest is done. β
"Cut, it's cunning. Lancelot asked, "What does that big man look like?" or I'm afraid I'll be shot if I don't know him." β
"Black haired, black-eyed, twenty years old, young and beautiful woman. The woman roughly described Ouyang Yu's appearance.
"Pure-blood royalty!" Lancelot shouted in shock, the appearance and characteristics of the royal family of the Phoenix Empire are very famous in this world, so Lancelot was so shocked, "No, this deal is canceled! What are you kidding, if I kidnap the pure-blood royal family, the entire Imperial Army of Ingra will come to exterminate me, and no matter how many weapons and ammunition you give me, I will also be dead, don't do it!"
"Choke!"
The woman pulled out the long sword at her waist and pointed at Lancelot and said sharply: "If you don't do it, you will die now, if you do it, you will not necessarily die, will you do it?!"
"I'm ......!" Lancelot was caught in a complicated battle of thoughts, and it could be seen from the woman's expression that he would really kill him if he rejected the woman, and big drops of cold sweat flowed from Lancelot's forehead.
"By the way, there is more than one royal family escorted, and one is the ninth princess of the empire, Roni Moon Victor, I don't need her, if you are caught, the ninth princess can be disposed of as you like, you can do whatever you want, such as what happened to your sister. β
The woman threw a bombshell that made Lancelot's eyes instantly red, and his heart was full of anger when he thought of what happened to his sister, if he could let an imperial princess suffer the same thing as his sister, or even worse, it would be worth dying.
"Okay, I'll do it!"
The woman smiled and withdrew her sword, took a few steps back and slowly disappeared into the shadows, before disappearing, the woman said: "I have put the route of the target on the table, the weapons and ammunition will be delivered to the foot of the mountain tomorrow, and I will come to you when you succeed." β
After confirming that the woman had left the cave, Lancelot touched the cold sweat on his face, walked out of the cave and began to gather his men, preparing to ambush the passing Imperial army.
In a manor near the White Horse Mountains, William Moon Victor, the fifth prince of the Phoenix Empire, dressed in a golden dress symbolizing royalty, stood on the balcony on the third floor of the main building of the manor, holding a wine glass and watching the sunset slowly descending, feeling the injustice of his ancestors to him.
William is twenty-five years old this year, with black hair, brown and black eyes, handsome and extraordinary, 1.83 meters tall, although his body does not have too many well-developed muscles, but it is very well-proportioned, like a sculpture in the artist's hand.
William, who has been very intelligent since he was a child, is good at military and internal affairs, and also has extraordinary attainments in painting and music, and has a hand of swordsmanship that no one can match, treat people with humility and courtesy, and integrate all the advantages in one, often called the son of God or the illegitimate son of God, and is known as the first beautiful man in the Phoenix Empire, and is the dream of countless Phoenix women. (Please don't make a typo)
It's a pity that providence makes people, although William is excellent, but the emperor still makes Danny, the eldest prince who is inferior to him in all aspects, the crown prince as the crown prince, and the reason is that Danny is the eldest son and the throne should be inherited by him, which makes William feel extremely angry, why can Danny, who is stupid as a pig, become the crown prince, just because he was born a few years earlier? William couldn't figure it out.
In order to ascend to the throne, William began to secretly win over ministers to form his own forces, and after years of hard work, William won over a lot of ministers, and there were several important ministers of the empire, occupying a large position in the political forces of the Phoenix Empire.
The emperor knew William's actions, but pretended to turn a blind eye and listened to them, and seemed to acquiesce to William's actions, which made William more daring, and his confrontation with the crown prince Danny had reached the point of semi-openness, in order to obtain military power and military merit William took the initiative to ask the emperor to leave the country and come to the Ingra occupation area as the governor, in the occupied area he used his power to devote all his energy to establish an elite army of 20,000 people, the equipment of this army is the best in the empire, and the training is also the most difficult in the empire, but the treatment is also the highest in the empire, and many imperial army officers who are optimistic about William have volunteered to join this armyγ
"Your Highness. β
A soft female voice sounded behind William, and William asked without looking back, "Selubellia, you're back, how are things going?"
The person who came was the woman who asked Lancelot to kidnap Ouyang Yu, her name was Selubellia Bryce, William's trusted confidant, in charge of the special forces secretly formed by William, Blood Fang, William would give her a lot of things to handle.
Selubellia replied, respectfully half-kneeling, "The matter has been settled, and the rebel has promised to take him hostage." β
"You did a good job, I didn't expect the emperor's prophecy to be true, more than three hundred years later, a pure-blooded royal family appeared inexplicably, hehehe, how can such a good thing be cheap My stupid royal brother, if the imperial brother and that woman really gave birth to a boy, then his position will be unshakable, and in turn, if I give birth to a boy with that woman, then the possibility of me ascending to the throne will be greatly increased. β
Thinking of the day he sat on the emperor's throne, William burst out laughing, and after laughing for a while, he turned around and admonished: "Remember, if that rebel misses, then you must strike in time, in case you can't take it...... Just kill that woman, what I can't get, he can't think of it, brother!" William's face was full of hideousness when he said the last sentence.
"Yes, Your Highness!" Selubelia immediately complied, and Serubella, who was absolutely loyal to William, would carry out any orders, even if she was told to die, she would not hesitate.
