Chapter 489: An Unexpected Candidate

The strengthening of Tatara's strength is a good thing for Char anyway.

Even if he is used as cannon fodder, it can be more valuable. The turtle guessed maliciously in his heart" and then made a very awe-inspiring expression: "Then, Todora, it just so happens that I have something in my hand that needs someone to do, and given your current situation, I think you happen to be the best person to do it........."

Todoro's face quickly fell.

Judging from all kinds of past experience, whenever his master said such a thing in such a righteous and awe-inspiring tone, he was probably going to send himself some kind of life-and-death work!

"Can I refuse?", Todoro squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying.

"Can't ......" Char cut to the point.

The magician was deflated, and he spread his hands: "Then what choice do I have...... Sir, just say, "What dangerous work are you going to let me do?" you won't let me challenge the Odin Emperor, will you......?"

Char kicked the guy in the ass: "Fuck off......!

After a slight pause, Char restrained his grin, and looked at Todoro: "This matter is very important to me! Moreover, I must say that what I need is a person who is absolutely loyal and reliable to me! Therefore, although there are many people under my command, I want to think about it, and you can only be the most suitable person......

Toddara's eyes lit up suddenly, and then the magician didn't care about the footprints left by the kick on his ass, and immediately pounced on him and hugged Char'.........s thigh: "Oh, oh, oh,

These words will be engraved on your tombstone after you die. Char looked at the magician with a sloppy expression.

"Well, then, what reward can I get for carrying out this important task to you?", the magician's eyes began to appear as stars began to appear.

Char lifts his foot and kicks again!

After a while, the magician, who had a few more footprints on his body, finally got up from the ground and protested, "Master, you can't treat a high-ranking magician like this!

Seeing Char's expression as if he was ready to draw his sword, Dotara quickly closed his mouth.

“...... I need you to help me get around the Imperial Capital. Char said in a deep voice: "This is a very confidential matter, and you must not leak this matter to anyone!

Although Tatara was a bit obscene, he was really not stupid, and immediately thought to the leader: "What do you mean...... Lord Green........."

"It's good that you know it yourself......" Char grimaced, and then couldn't help but look at Merlin, who was still standing in the room.

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in these things of yours at all......" Merlin coldly dropped the sentence "Turn around and leave, before you go out" and threw a sentence far away: "Duo Duoluo, you'd better not be too arrogant outside" The heart magic is exhausted, if you can't run back in time to exchange blood, "you will die......"

This surprised Char a little.

When did this Merlin actually start to care about the life and death of Todoro? In Merlin's eyes, shouldn't Totaro just be a test object for her?

After Merlin leaves," Char cleared his throat and lowered his voice, "I need you to go to the imperial capital to meet General Adric, well, no, you better go and meet that fat man from Ruhl first." To be on the safe side, "this thing can't be written in black and white, so you can only bring my message." As he spoke, Char told Tatara all about his speculation about Hasting's crazy plan to attack the imperial capital. When Tatara heard this, his eyes immediately widened, "I inhaled deeply." Liang Qi: "Oh God! He's crazy! It's a crazy plan......

"Revenge and hatred are always going to drive people crazy. Char muttered, then stared into Dodoro's eyes, "Got it? You have to tell Ruhl about this yourself, and then have that guy take you to Adric! "You can't tell anyone about this until you meet Ruel or Adric......

Speaking of which," Char stared at Tatara and said fiercely, "If this thing leaks half a word, you will be dead......!"

"Of course I would never dare to say it......" The magician swore immediately, and then couldn't help but look at Char again: "Uh, what if...... What if General Ruhr or Adric didn't want to leak it out?"

"Then you're dead too!" Char glared at the magician brutally.

And so it was...... Totara wailed in his heart, but there was a look of fierce loyalty on his face: "I understand!

Char finally changed his tone a little softer, and patted Dodoro on the shoulder: "Okay, you are a smart person" You should understand the importance of this matter to me! I'll let you do it" is also out of trust in you. Besides, it's not too dangerous. You go to the imperial capital from here, it's a little farther away, although there is chaos everywhere now, but you are a magician, you only need to show your identity as a magician on the way" I think, no local force dares to easily provoke the ...... of a passing magician"

Todora thought about it for a moment, and it really was the truth.

The magician's mood soon improved, and he suddenly remembered something else!

The imperial capital!

I think that when I, Lord Tatara, was "taken away as a magician" when I was in the imperial capital, I became a laughing stock in the wizard world, and everyone said that I was a waste! Hmph! But now! Now I, Lord Todora, have the strength of magic! This time I returned to the imperial capital, "I want to let those guys who once looked down on me take a good look!"

Such a thought soon made Tatara's whole body tremble with excitement, and his eyes radiated essence.

"Without further ado. Char said two more words: "Although according to my judgment, it will take three months for Hasteen to raise troops south, but God knows if he will suddenly change his mind." So you'd better get out right away. Well...... It's a pity that Merlin's magic carpet was destroyed, otherwise it would have been much more convenient. You go to the backyard and go," the horses in the house, and I allow you to pick the two best ones at random. Then you should immediately leave for the south!"

Todora did not hesitate or shirk, and immediately strode out. The magician received the order, ran to the groom of the garrison, and unceremoniously selected the two best war horses" and ran to the quartermaster office with Char's warrant to collect a sum of money. In the end, the magician galloped out of the city of Denzel on the same day, almost as if he were fleeing for his life, and headed south along the main road.

Gotta get out of here!It would be bad if Merlin came up with some terrible way to torture me!)

As soon as he left Denzel City, the magician immediately felt a kind of exhilaration of "the sea is wide and the fish jumps, and the sky is high for the birds to fly".

He even coquettishly took out a white magician's robe that he had quietly brought from his baggage and changed it into (the white robe is a mage robe that only high-level magicians are qualified to wear under the system of the Imperial Magician Academy), and then pinned the magic badge with the Mithril texture belonging to the archmage on his chest, but it was not eye-catching enough, and he vomited. Spit foam "wiped the badge brightly, and then laughed with satisfaction.

All the way, the white clothes fluttered, and the horse's hooves were anxious, "Our ** master Tatara has embarked on a journey south"............

※※※

After Tatara leaves, Char takes on another matter.

Daiffine!

The news of the Queen's assassination has been openly spread. Of course, only the Assassin from El Salvador was revealed. For the assassins sent by the emperor, it was naturally strictly secret.

Char is waiting" to see the news from Oorgillia.

Sure enough, "a few days later, a messenger arrived from the new town of Siltanshire, bringing news from Osgilia, which Char had been waiting for for many days.

The Byzantine Empire had magical teleportation arrays in some important cities around the country, which were used to transmit important government and military orders or some important messages.

Under Char's rule, "the new city of Siltan County, because it is an important town in the north of the empire, is also the station of the Seventh Corps of the original central army of the empire" naturally set up this kind of magic teleportation array to ensure that the decrees of the central government of the empire can be reached at any time.

Char captured the rebels' assassins and quickly had his men use a magic array to convey the matter to the imperial capital. Because the magic array of the imperial capital is official, once the news reaches the imperial capital, it is difficult to hide it at all, and it will soon be spread.

Sure enough, when the news of "the queen's assassination in Denzel City" and "almost died" was revealed in the imperial capital, what surprised many people was not the assassination of the queen itself, but the ...... ,... The queen is actually in the city of Denzel?!!

Naturally, the news caused a huge shock. In any case, the queen is the queen after all! The dignified queen "actually stayed in a border city in Beizhi for a long time without explanation, no matter what, it is very undignified and unseemly."

This matter will undoubtedly affect the reputation of the royal family.

Sure enough, Emperor Garcia could no longer sit idly by. The royal family immediately sent out news to refute the rumors, claiming that the queen was traveling to the north before the war, and later because the war opened and the road was blocked, she had to stay in the north and not return......

This excuse seems to be very high-sounding, because everyone knows that the other identity of the queen is the daughter of the Duke of Minas. The Duke of Minas had extensive influence among the Empire's armies. It is indeed a good idea to go out on patrol in such an identity to appease the local military forces. However, there are still many sober-minded people who see the loopholes in this kind of statement.

Patrolling the North before the war?

No kidding! Do you think everyone is a fool? Before the war, the empress was just the crown prince's princess! At that time, the first emperor Kantos the Great was still on the throne! In the style of Kantos the Great, how could he let his daughter-in-law run out to inspect the place?

Besides, during the reign of Emperor Kantos, it was too late to suppress the influence of the Minas family in the army!

Under all kinds of criticism, in order to quell this disturbing discussion, the emperor issued a clear order to His Excellency Duke Xia Ya Leiming, the general of the northern garrison, through the official transmission channel: Order His Excellency Duke Xia Lei Ming to immediately escort the empress back to the imperial capital, and ensure the personal safety of the empress......

At the same time, "a commendation order was also transmitted with this order."

For the outstanding performance of Duke Char Leiming in the assassination of the Empress, he successfully dismantled the Assassin's rebellious actions, protected the personal safety of the Empress herself, and rewarded His Excellency Char Leiming for this merit, and also gave Char one or two court titles.

For this kind of reward that has no practical benefits, Char took it directly to wipe his butt when he went to the toilet after reading it. However, "for the matter of escorting the queen back to the imperial capital" after all, PS can no longer be delayed, and it is officially on the schedule.

From Char's sphere of influence to the imperial capital of Oscuria, there are thousands of mountains and rivers along the way, passing through several rebel spheres of influence on the way. If it is a light car and a simple horse, it will definitely not work!

If those rebels knew that the queen of the empire was crossing, they would not rush to send troops to intercept and chase them? If they could catch the queen, it would not only be a major blow to the reputation of the royal family, but also an important bargaining chip to blackmail the Duke of Minas!

If the queen wants to return to the imperial capital, she must send troops to escort her along the way.

This task is not easy!

If you only send one or two hundred guards, I'm afraid that it won't be enough, and if you only send one or two hundred guards, I'm afraid it's not enough for people to stuff their teeth.

But if you send too many, throw thousands of cavalry over"...... Char wasn't that big yet! He only had a few thousand cavalry under his command.

Thousands of cavalry went out on the expedition, "the expenditure of military expenses, the supply of grain and grass, are all big headaches. The Northern Army has not yet been emboldened enough to squander military spending so casually.

Then there's the question of the leader of the Guardians. The person leading the escort must be loyal and courageous, but also careful and intelligent enough to "have excellent courage."

Throughout Char's command, there are not many such outstanding generals, such as the general Reinhardt, who "once led thousands of Rhoderian remnants all the way from the south to the north, marching thousands of miles" can be called an outstanding command.

But Char didn't intend for Reinhardt to do such a thing.

Soon, the candidates came out.

The person who was chosen by General Char surprised everyone in the entire Northern Army!

The people chosen by Char are not old courtiers like Cato or Sharpa, who have been loyal to the present since Char's debut, nor are they outstanding generals like Reinhardt who joined later.

The lucky one chosen by Char is "called ...... Stephen, a deputy flag officer of the Seventh Corps of the Central Army of the Empire, is currently the flag officer of the Fourth Infantry Flag Regiment of the Second Garrison Corps of the Northern Garrison Military Region.

The name is unfamiliar. Because this guy who was chosen by Yanya was neither Char's old team descendant, nor was he an outstanding talent who joined later.

This guy is just a middle-level officer in the remnants of the original Seventh Corps, "his talent is also very mediocre", after the Seventh Corps was annexed by Char, an officer of the Central Army with old qualifications like him, either did not know the current affairs, "was dismissed from the military by Char and got to an idle position, or he bowed his head and obeyed, and obediently accepted Char's incorporation.

This Mr. Stephen belongs to the latter group. However, under Char's command, most of these veterans of the original Imperial Sixth and Seventh Corps were delegated to the Second Corps Garrison Corps of the Northern Army after the army was reorganized. Those who can continue to stay in the First Corps, that is, the main corps of Char's Northern Army, are almost rare.

On the one hand, Char doesn't trust these veterans, and he knows very well that many of these guys still have resentment in their hearts about their incorporation of the Central Army. On the other hand, Char also tried his best to eliminate the remaining traces of the Central Army in his Northern Army.

This Stephen is an obedient and knowledgeable guy, who did not resist Char's co-optation at the beginning, "After obediently cooperating, he was not idle" and was also promoted from the level of the deputy flag regiment to the level of the main flag regiment. However, it has changed from the central army in the empire to the leading local garrison, so in fact, it can be regarded as a demotion.

This guy has never been a member of the inner circle of Char's group, and when he stays in the garrison corps, his performance is also very modest, neither high nor low, "not good, not bad." The training with the troops is quite hard, but it will never show even the slightest value of his salary.

How much money you can do is a faithful portrayal of this Mr. Stephen.

And handing over such a task to such a person naturally caused many people to be surprised.

More than that, envy!

You must know that if the escort of the queen back to the imperial capital is successful, "it is a great merit!!! If you can escort the queen back to the imperial capital safely, then when you arrive in the imperial capital, you will definitely get the emperor's many rewards and rewards! And even get the gratitude of the Duke of Minas!!

Even...... Maybe the emperor will directly stay in the imperial capital, re-approve, and never return to the north!

You must know that many of the old guys in the Northern Army who originally belonged to the Central Army are mostly dissatisfied with the identity of the Central Army being absorbed by the warlords of Char, if they can return to the imperial capital and re-enter the sequence of the Central Army, even if it is an official reinstatement, it is also a very cool thing!

It's thousands of times better than staying in the north, being overtaken by Char's guy, doing nothing all day long, and not even getting a little oil and water!!

This person's choice has caused a lot of controversy, and many people even suspect that this Stephen must have spent money to bribe high-ranking officials of the Northern Military Department" may have followed the path of Lord Green, and some people suspect that maybe this Stephen's background has some aristocratic blood, so he was favored by the queen and was selected by the queen herself as the escort leader.

Most people are more inclined to the latter for the two guesses.

Because "this Mr. Stephen is indeed a noble family in the imperial capital, and a large part of the middle or senior officers in the central army have walked out of the aristocratic family in the imperial capital." And this Mr. Stephen is said to have had a brief resume of studying at the Imperial Capital Military Academy, although he was only selected by the army for a short period of two months. But everyone knows that the Imperial Capital Military Academy, which is the base camp for the royalist faction to train generals, and all the generals who come out of the Imperial Capital Military Academy are considered to be firmly loyal to the royal family.

And the size of the protector has finally been decided.

Five hundred cavalry, PS plus a thousand infantry.

No one questioned such a force and combination.

In the eyes of most people, "such a number is the wisest choice."

Fifteen hundred escort troops, enough to deal with the threat of some local warlords. And the existence of 500 cavalry "can also allow the protectors to wield the mobility of cavalry at a critical juncture" to take the queen away from danger. The number is also just within the financial capacity of the Northern Military Department.

At the same time, news also came from the Besta Military District, saying that they were willing to meet the queen's escort and others on the way, and provide supplies.

※※※

Escorting the Empress out of Denzel and back to the imperial capital was strongly endorsed by most of the generals in the Northern Army.

Many people believe that the noble queen's stay in Denzel will not do much good to the northern army, and will attract criticism.

It's best to send it away early in the morning!

But what no one knew was that on the night of this decision, there was a fierce quarrel in General Char's bedroom in the garrison mansion.

This is also the first quarrel between Char and Adeline since their relationship was confirmed.

The argument was intense, and Adeline expressed her strong displeasure at Char's decision to send Daphany back to the Imperial Capital.

"You are sending her to suicide like this!!Char! You know very well that she will definitely die when she returns to the imperial capital! My brother will not ...... Won't ........."

"You are the only one who can protect her in this world!Char!", "Char, I beg you!!I beg you!!I beg you!!I beg you to agree to my request and leave her!", "She can only continue to live if she stays in the north!", "She is my only good friend!", Char, I can't watch her die......

"Please, can you take back this decision?", Char was unusually silent from beginning to end in response to Adeline's pleas or dissatisfaction or anger.

In the end, Daphne, who had heard the quarrel, rushed to interrupt the argument between the two.

"That's what I mean, Adeline. I have to go back ......."

Dauphinne was calm, she hugged Adeline softly, and whispered in her ear: "You know, people like me" Coming from such a family, my title, my identity, I am destined to have no freedom. I have my own destiny "This may be my destiny" Adeline, don't be sad for me, let alone feel sorry for me......"

Adeline wept bitterly, clinging to her best friend and refusing to let go.

Finally, Char walked over, gently knocked Adeline unconscious, and then hugged his fiancée and put her on the bed.

When he turned around, Char suddenly saw Daphne's eyes staring at him so bright!

In Daiffine's eyes, there seemed to be relief, relief, and a faint resentment.

"Did you really agree to send me back......" Delfinne's voice sounded calm.

“...... Yes......" Char nodded.

"Thank you, General Char. Thank you for letting me fulfill my destiny......" Daphany seemed to smile, but for a moment in her eyes, the sadness that flashed was still a little piercing.

As if after a pause, Dauphinne whispered, "Actually, I would prefer that person to be you." "What?" Char was a little dazed.

"The one who sent me back...... "Delphany smiled as if "with a touch of poignantness, "If I am destined to die, I hope that the person who escorts me on my way is you." After speaking, before Char could speak again, Dafani already showed a panicked expression, and then left as if he had run away.

Looking at the background of Daphne's departure, Char was a little silent, "He stood where he was, not knowing what to say. After all, he didn't speak, just frowned.

Turning back to the bedside to "look at the poor worm in a coma" Char bent over, his big rough hand caressed Adeline's delicate face, and then brushed the mess on her forehead.

"Don't worry......" Char looked at his fiancée who was asleep with his eyes closed, and said softly: "Your man is not as unbearable as you think" The things you are worried about "will not give birth......"

※※※

When the queen set off from Denzel City to the south, a ceremony was held in Denzel City, after all, it was the queen of a country who "couldn't travel with pomp."

The guard of honor, the escort, and the queue of officers accompanying them.

There were even many people in the city of Denzel who watched the road on both sides of the road with curiosity, "to see the queen."

But everyone is destined to be disappointed" because after the carriage came out of the garrison, the queen did not show up, but stayed in the carriage, the windows of the carriage were closed, and the soldiers around them with sharp weapons to protect them separated the people who were watching along the way far away.

In addition to the original 1,500 accompanying escorts, "there were 1,000 of the most elite cavalry of the Northern Army accompanying them, but these cavalrymen would part ways with the Empress and her party when they arrived in the new town of Syltan County."

The thousand cavalrymen were to be ordered to go east to Corsica, "because Corsica has been somewhat unstable lately, and some of the old courtiers of the former military governor's office, after the situation has stabilized, are trying to incite rebellion and want to restore the rule of the military district governor's office." The 1,000 cavalry "were ordered to go to Corsica to help put down the rebellion."

The leader of this thousand cavalry was none other than Char's old subordinate and most trusted brother, Sharpa.
