Chapter Twenty-Five: I Smell a Little Thief

Taking advantage of the local resources, the Caledonian army was ready to attack the city on the third day of their arrival. That evening, a meeting was held in the camp of Crown Prince Edward, attended not only by the generals of Caledonia, but also by their allies, the Boulognese.

The structural drawings of the city are hung on a wooden board that resembles a screen, and the inside and outside are clear inside and out, including the design of the sewers, as well as the thickness of each section of the city wall and the age of repair, which are also clearly marked on the notes next to it.

It is clear that the intelligence of the Galedonians is doing quite well.

Needless to say, the guilds, nobles, and merchants in the city, whether intentional or not, but each of them revealed a little bit of information to the Caledonians, and when it was finally gathered into Edward's hands, it would be enough to leave the city of Pali no more secrets to these attackers.

What's more, Edward still has Christina in his hand, and he is confident that the goddess of victory has long favored him.

But unfortunately, this trump card is not a one-size-fits-all game.

During the day, Father Clement in the city of Pali had come for a walk under the guise of visiting his old friends, and although Edward could find an excuse to keep him here, he did not want to face the pressure of the Holy See.

What's more, in his opinion, that Clément was at most using this pretext to investigate the so-called magician's interference in the war, and by the way, to spy on the military situation in Galledonia for Cape's side, it would not affect the overall situation in any way.

Besides, he never let Cristina go straight to the battlefield to face the enemy, so he didn't need to be a thief.

All he used was Christina's insight......

But unconsciously, including the Earl of Lipton, who took on a considerable part of the command responsibility, also relied on this pointy-eared girl.

Even at this meeting, they placed Christina in a rather important position - although she still covered her face with a voluminous robe.

"Miss Christina, do you really don't have that thing called nitrate-1 glycerin on your hands anymore?" asked Earl Lipton, the general of Caledonia, in another whisper. He still had a glimmer of anticipation. After all, with explosives, you can reduce too many casualties during sieges.

"No, I said it's really gone, and I don't know how to make it. Christina shook her head, "I remember telling you that only that stranger could make it now. You can interpret that I stole it from him. ”

Earl Lipton frowned: "But as far as I know, that stranger doesn't seem to have made ......"

"Your Excellency. The Duke of Boulogne, Angus's father, a middle-aged man with a big belly, interrupted the conversation between the two men, "The map of the sewers of the city of Pali that you gave me is not the same as the one I have in my hand. ”

"Oh, is that so? After all, Pali has been a city for thousands of years, and her sewers go back hundreds of years. Count Lipton was interrupted from talking, a little displeased, but when he met this big man who could compete with the Varloa family and the Encorry family, he still patiently answered the Duke of Boulogne's question "Philip the Daring", "So it is normal for the sewer map to change as the pipes are blocked and dredged." If I'm not mistaken, you have a map from a long time ago, right?"

"That's right, this is a copy of the blueprint when the sewer was built. Don't forget, I also have the blood of Capet's orthodox royal family in my veins. The Duke of Boulogne knocked on the table and said.

Earl Lipton smiled, "But the copy I gave you is the latest version that flowed from the architects' guild in Pali City. Recently, due to the abnormal weather, the 'Knight Henry' and the Estates-General have not moved to rebuild the sewers, so this one in my hand is much better than yours. What, are you going to conquer the city of Pali from the sewers?"

"I don't know what kind of magic you used to conquer the fortress of Agincourt, but your set may not work well in Pali City - although I don't know the truth of the matter, I heard that I was blessed by the saint when the city was built. So her walls are unusually hard. I've seen Andreno and his cannon today, and I'm personally skeptical that I can rely on his cannon to conquer the city of Pali. "The Duke of Boulogne was serious about the most ridiculous of gossip - but it was true that he was not optimistic about the Andrino cannon.

Of course, Count Lipton would not tell him what the Agincourt Fortress had been conquered, but on the bright face he still smiled: "Don't worry, we will have a way to deal with Pali City...... What are you going to do, Miss Christina?"

"I smell a little bit of a thief. Christina stood up from her position, ignored the different expressions of everyone present, and walked straight out, "It looks like it's going to be lively again tonight." ”

She was right, there were indeed two uninvited guests in the camp in Caledonia tonight - needless to say, these two uninvited guests were Theresa and Schilla.

They were dressed in dark nun clothes, and they had gotten in through some special means—well, just as the big men of the Holy See would squander themselves while dedicating themselves, and even the staff below were doing the same, and it was normal for some nuns who couldn't bear to be lonely to do some part-time work in the leather business, and no one cared about it at all.

Not only that, but as a magician, Hilmeria naturally had the means of additional insurance: "You can't notice me, you can't notice me......" she muttered as she sprinkled the powder in her bag on every Galedonian soldier who was interested in them.

"Hey, Shirmelia, I think we're really like thieves......" Theresa whispered to her best friend.

"No way, isn't this to save your foreign crush?" "Shilmelia also lowered her voice, "Well, of course, it's also to pay off my debts. ”

"Who said I liked him anymore, I was just...... I can't bear it, after all, he has done so much for me. Theresa squirmed, "This is my duty to him." It's you, who usually look so timid, become ...... when it comes to repaying debts."

"Shhh......h
