Chapter 17: An Assassination Order from the King

Duchy of Lal, in the military prison of Stecaga. Gal is being held in a detention center, and during the bombings of the Twin Towers and the Royal International Hotel three days ago, Gal and his party were inexplicably charged with dereliction of duty. Preparations are now under way for the transfer to the military court

"Sergeant Garr, someone has come to see you," said the guard, opening the iron door

Gal came to a separate interrogation room, although he had not yet been convicted, but as a military detainee Gal was still put on a rope, and in the room was his father, the commander of the 20th Infantry Regiment Iron Sword Fighter Wren, it seems that his father used his position to obtain the full strength of the individual visit

"How does it feel?" Wren asked, not at all nervous about his son being imprisoned

"Hehe, judging by your expression. We should be fine," Gal replied with a smile

"Why are you so sure?" Wren asked

"You're still the regimental commander, and if you're really charged with dereliction of duty, then our immediate superior, Colonel Wren, won't be able to get out of it," Garr said with a smile

"Stinky boy, you're still so smart," Wren replied

"Then it should be a mess out there now, right?" asked Gal

"Oh, your nerves are still so sharp. Did you notice something?" Wren was surprised, he didn't expect his son to notice that the incident last time was not pure

"Well, it's not a lot. It's just that I've been thinking a lot about it in the past two days, and I've found that there are some irrationalities," said Garr

"Well, when everyone arrives. Let's talk about it together, shall we?" Wren said, picking up a cigarette and puffing it

At this moment, Jiuyin, Bart, and Yayue were also brought to this room

"Well, well, it looks like we've got all the people. Let's have a short meeting. There's so much we need to figure out about this incident," Wren said

"What kind of short meeting? I said, Colonel, we might all be sentenced to death, is it necessary?" said Barth

"Yes, Colonel, you might as well think of a way to make our brother reduce his sentence a few times before it's true," Azuki also said

"Eh~!Didn't you two notice?Uncle Wren is still a colonel," Jiuyin said

"Yes, Wren is a colonel, yes, we all know, hasn't he always been?" asked Barth, puzzled, didn't he always call him colonel?

"That's right. As a direct unit of the Malduk Special Operations Group, if we were really convicted of dereliction of duty, then our immediate superiors would not be able to get out of it and would also be suspended for investigation, but Colonel Wren was not suspended, but had the right to such a private room," said Azuki

"Really, Colonel, that means I don't have to die?"

"Well, although I am not convicted of any dereliction of duty now, now that I have been arrested. Then I think the military tribunal will also be there. As for the punishment, I don't know. You may be expelled from the military," Wren said

"All right, can Daddy tell us what happened?" asked Gal

"King Reddina was forced to the palace by Prince Diacos. In three days, the archbishop of the Anglican will hold the coronation ceremony for Diacos," said Rennes

"It seems that our early speculation was completely wrong, and we originally thought that the empire would use this summit to assassinate and make a big fuss, so as to send troops to pull a principality, but I didn't expect it. The problem is that there is a coup d'état in China," Jiuyin said

"No, I don't think so. It would be too hasty to force His Majesty to comply, simply by blowing up two buildings. We're not going in the wrong direction, we're just doing it wrong," Gal said

"How?" asked Tooth Moon

"If Guo said that this bombing case can shake His Majesty's position in the country, it is absolutely impossible, unless he is strongly accused by some people and forces, and then Prince Diacos catches this point and makes a big fuss, then it is possible," Gal calmly analyzed

"Yes, yes, that's pretty close to the truth. Anything else?" Wren listened intently as he smoked a cigarette

"I think the inference that we investigated the Dementors and speculated that it might be the Empire trying to play a ghost is correct, but we blindly believe that it is just the Empire's conspiracy and ignore other possible strengths," Gal continued.

"I see, the Dementor is just an illusion trying to distract us, right?" added Tooth Moon

"No, it's not an illusion, as I said. I think that the person who accuses and criticizes His Majesty Reddy is probably the Prime Minister of Melbourne, who must also be a participant in this plan, and the carefully prepared script for Prince Diacos to take the throne, right?

"Hehe, that's good, Gar. Speaking of the eighth floor," Wren said happily, of course happy to see his son grow

"And what about the remaining two floors?" asked Bart

"Do you think the Imperial Melbourne will be full of food and nothing to do, so it will be for nothing?" Wren said, lighting a cigarette one at a time

Think about it, how can the prime minister of a country also give priority to the interests of his own country, in the eyes of ordinary people, he does not have to be so complicated. Even if the Duchy of Lal changes its king, it will not necessarily do the empire itself any good

"I think Prince Diacos should give Melbourne the most tempting thing so he can help, right?" said Jiuyin

"Well, a week later. Diacos will be on the border with Melbourne. The ownership of the autonomous region of Lascaux is being renegotiated," said Rennes. This is what the other four suddenly thought

"This bastard, this is tantamount to handing over our Duchy of Lal to the Empire" Azuki clenched his fists. The original reason why the empire could not annex the Duchy of Lal was that the border between the two countries was cut off by a long series of high mountains and peaks, and the only link between the two countries was the Lascaux Autonomous Prefecture in the middle

"He shouldn't have the support of his countrymen for doing this, right?" asked Gal

"No, this time the situation is different, the people are very supportive," Wren said

"Why?" asked Bart

"Because the people don't know that he will cede the Autonomous Prefecture to the Empire, but if the talks are resumed, the people will naturally understand that the Duchy of Lal will go all out to retake the Autonomous Prefecture," Wren said

"It seems that all of us have been calculated by Melbourne, and even how to announce the news to the outside world is in the plan. How much of the power in the country has fallen to the prince," asked Gal

"Now the situation is like this, now sixty percent of the three armies of the army, navy and air force have fallen to the prince, and the three layers are neutral. The remaining floor is still under Reddyna," Wren said

"I'll go, six to one, Colonel can't fight this battle, can he?" said Barth, who seemed to everyone to be hitting a stone with an egg

"yes, it's impossible in a regular battle. That's why I'm here for you," Wren looked at the four of them with a wicked smile

Gal and the others had goosebumps all over their bodies and felt that something bad was happening

"What do you want?" asked Gal

"It's simple, I want the four of you to escape from prison tonight and then find Prince Diacos to kill him before the coronation. Isn't it easy, didn't you all learn to do this kind of thing in the academy before?" Wren looked at the four of them with a smile

"It's simple, you're big~~!!, the four of us could have been acquitted, and you let us escape from prison and go to assassination? Isn't that really guilty?" Bart said excitedly

"Colonel, aren't you serious?" asked Azuki in disbelief

"Uncle Wren, you're not kidding, are you?" Jiuyin also asked, incredulous

"Well, that's not what I meant. It's His Majesty's intention," Wren said, taking out a bag of papers and handing it to the four of them

"Actually, this time Your Majesty has made a lot of determination, if you can't let the prince disappear, then maybe there will be a second or third time for this kind of thing. So His Majesty decided to assassinate Prince Diacos for treason," Wren said

"How's it going?" asked the four of them after reading the documents and confirming that they were correct

"Since His Majesty the King personally ordered it, do we have a choice?" replied Jiuyin

"Eh, I've really been assigned a chore now," Azuki smiled helplessly

"Hehe, I didn't know this mission was completed. Are we all going to be promoted?" Bart asked with a smile

"Hehe, it seems that everyone is fine. At three o'clock tonight, I will park a Humvee jeep in the woods west of the prison, so good luck to you" After saying that, Wren got up and opened the room, and then the four of them were taken back to their own detention rooms and waited for dark.
