Volume III, Chapter XXII

I was walking side by side with Dill on the way to the garden, and I was going to meet Fischette, who was "having a hot fight with a certain princess right now."

It was a very rare time for the two of them to be alone, but along the way, Dill smiled as he walked, and the hand that covered his mouth never let go.

"I said Dill, it's okay for you to laugh, but there's got to be a limit, right?" I said dissatisfied.

"I'm sorry, hehe. It seemed that my words did not have much effect, but Dill laughed even harder, and even his shoulders were slightly swaying: "I never imagined, I bet no one would dare to think that such a thing would happen to my husband--pinched nose, hehehehe." ”

"You...... Never mind. I sighed and quickened my pace: "Didn't you say it? You are now my fiancée, and you can't call me husband yet." ”

"I'm glad to call it that. Dill caught up with me in a few steps and took my hand: "Who dares to make irresponsible remarks?"

"It's not a matter of nonsense, isn't our wedding still happening?" I shook my head helplessly: "What will people who don't know think?"

"They love what they look at. Dill raised his face and snorted coldly: "Miss Ben doesn't care. ”

"Diere. I didn't want to spoil the atmosphere, so I gently shook her hand: "There's something I forgot to say." ”

Dill looked at me confused, "Huh?"

"You're so beautiful today. ”

Diel's face turned crimson in an instant, and he replied in a low voice, "Thank you." ”

"What funny things did you do when I wasn't around you?" I slowed.

"There are a lot of them!"

Dill told me about the one after the dark moon and how he came to the darkness with his mother. How to meet Fischette. How to get along with my original three ladies. It's as if she hasn't been looked at strangely by anyone else......

Of course, there are also a lot of funny things in between, such as Fichette being called "crow" by her when it is not on a formal occasion, and she barks very loudly.

"By the way, when did you offend that female general?" Dill asked me, "Every time she talks about you, she always looks like she's going to bite." ”

"Female general?"

Dill reached out and tapped my forehead, "yes, you won't forget, will you?" Rainey. ”

Have I offended her lately? I don't think so......

"What are you thinking?" Dill shook his hand in front of my eyes, "That female general is pretty and beautiful, isn't she?

"Pretty?" I snapped, "How would I know, I've only seen her face covered in a helmet." As for her figure, I don't know at all, how can I fall in love with her, am I that kind of person?"

"That's right! She's over there. Dill pointed to the front: "I will be with His Majesty and the princess all day long, and I will not leave for a moment." ”

"Huh?" I was taken aback: "Isn't that a nuisance?"

"It's really in the way. Dill sighed and said, "The princess and His Majesty look at each other so warmly, to exaggerate, their eyes can even be melted away, and no one can stand it." But she seemed to turn a blind eye, and didn't even give a chance to be alone, she really hated it, hated it to death. ”

"Dill, do you want to play a game?" I said to the indignant Dill, smiling, "Let's go get rid of the nasty female general." Fulfill Your Majesty and the Princess. ”

"Ahh

Dill and I left the main road and took a detour among the flowers and trees. I explored the way ahead and kept the guards quiet along the way. Dill grinned and followed me, holding the cloak behind my back in his hand so as not to hang on to anything.

The guards kept a serious patrol, but they were all quietly looking at us and pointing us in the direction where His Majesty was located.

We dived to a slightly higher point and observed three people in the distance.

I haven't seen him for many days, and Fischette is still the same handsome old man, but there are two ladies next to him.

The younger one must be the princess! Speaking of which, the princess was snatched back by me, but I haven't seen it yet.

The rest of the older figure was not bad, but with a cold face and a look of the eyes, I was sure it was Winterhall, for I knew her eyebrows that would be raised when she was angry!

But then again, why didn't she smile? Honestly, it was a pity that such an expression was a pity for her delicate appearance.

"What now, what now, what should I do!" Dill beside him was very excited.

"Let me think about it...... That's okay Diere. I explained my thoughts to Diel: "You go to them first, and tell His Majesty that I am waiting for him here, and let him come alone." Then I went to call the princess, to panic a little, and told her that her majesty fell to the ground and fainted. ”

"Ah...... That's a trick!" said Deell with a smile, "What's next?"

"Next, you must contain the female general, not too much, just let her have a distance of ten steps from the princess. I patted my chest and said, "I'll take care of the rest." ”

"Okay!" Dill jumped up and ran to His Majesty's side, "You can't mess it up." ”

I found a tough grass vine, tied one end to the trunk of a tree by the roadside, and stared at the other end in my hand and smiled.

After a while, Fichette followed Diel.

"Where's Cohen? Miss Diar, don't lie to me. Fichette looked around: "Didn't you say it would take at least another day to arrive?"

"Here it is. I came out of the side of the road: "Your Majesty is good!"

"Cohen, it's you, what are you hiding in the bushes?" Fichette came over and patted the leaf off my shoulder, "Okay guy, why did you tell me to come here?"

"Good thing!" I said, pointing to a spot in the middle of the road for Fischette to stand, and said to him, "Do you see this corner?"

Fichette was confused: "See." ”

"Then a petite lady appears around this corner, and you will surely be the first to notice it. ”

Fischer nodded.

"Then you stay here, and we'll take care of the rest. I turned to Dill and said, "Go and call!"

"Got it!" Dill waved his small fist and rushed over like a soldier under orders, "It must be fine." ”

"Well, Cohen!" Fichette asked, blinking wide-eyed, "what the hell is going on?"

"You don't care about anything. Just stand there obediently. I stuck my head out of the bushes and said, "I won't hurt you." ”

"Oh. ”

"Be focused. We'll talk about that later. With that, I hurriedly retracted my head. Because the goal has already appeared.

Through the gap between the leaves, I saw a delicate-looking girl of fifteen or sixteen years of age, holding the corners of her skirt with her hands in her hands, running down the path with a nervous expression, I had never seen this Bernie before. Princess Ebbinghaus, it looks really cute now.

But Winterhal, who was following behind, was not so cute, and fortunately my cute and smart Dill pretended to fall and began to wipe "tears". I finally got this nasty guy in tow.

Dill hugged Winterhar and made a "success" gesture to me, and I pulled the grass vine in my hand......

"Ahh Princess Ebbinghaus flew straight ahead!

"Ahh

"Bang", Bernie. Ebbinghaus fell firmly into Fichette's arms, and it was done!

Bernie propped up a little and exclaimed as she saw the face of the person underneath her!

"Princess. Fichette asked stupidly, "Are you alright?"

"I—I'm fine. Bernie's face turned red and she stammered, "You...... You. I heard you ......"

"I ......" Fischette blushed.

Things seemed to be going smoothly as I cheered for Fichette in my heart. A certain general, who was very emotionally sluggish, caught up.

"Your Highness the Princess. Winterhar stood around the corner: "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine. Bernie hurriedly propped herself up, but she didn't know what had happened, and she and Fichette exclaimed again, and they both stopped as if by magic.

"Your Royal Highness, Princess?" someone was calling again......

Seeing that this good situation could be ruined, I couldn't hide anymore.

"Hahahaha......" jumped out of the bushes, I clapped my hands and shouted, "Congratulations!"

"Cohen. Kaida, you're a fellow again!" As soon as Winterhar saw me, his eyes began to burn with anger, his eyebrows were raised, and he shouted at me, "You are the only one who can do such a thing." ”

"And me!" Dill protested loudly in the back, but her voice was ignored by Winterhar.

"I haven't asked you to settle the account last time. It seems that Winterhall, who was dressed in civilian clothes, had forgotten where he was, and habitually went to pick up the sword but felt empty, so he had to clench his fists and force it up: "What were you congratulating just now?"

"Ahh......h......h

"What are you talking about!" Winterhar couldn't stand my gibberish anymore, and when a punch came to me, I didn't dodge because I was still wearing armor.

"Bang!" the fist was no better than the scabbard, and Winterhar was so painful that his mouth was crooked.

"Fight with my husband, but there will be a price. Dill came over and took Winterhar's hand: "Let's go! let's talk in another place, don't get in the way here." ”

Dill and I escorted Winterhar away. Up to this point, the two men on the ground were stiff in the same posture as before, the woman's eyes were closed, and the man was at a loss—but their faces were too red to be red!

It's the Empire's top secret, and it's not suitable for children.

We kept pulling Winterhall out of the garden and into the backroom door.

"Okay! Winterhall, who had been angry all the way, suddenly returned to normal: "Otherwise, I would be really angry." ”

"I've long suspected that you're pretending. Dill let go of his hand with a grin: "I'll just say! How can a person who feels dull become a general!"

"Who do you say is sluggish?" Winterhal raised his fist, "Huh?"

I stepped forward, stood between the two ladies, and said to Winterhall, "General, you can't be rude to my fiancée. ”

Dill poked his head out from behind me, "I'm not afraid of her!"

"Hmph. Who has time to pay attention to you. "The good woman of Winterhar does not suffer immediate losses. Walked into the back hall.

Dill and I looked at each other. Hand in hand, he walked into the backroom to meet the others.

Everyone was in the back hall, Mom, Dad, and the four ladies, and I was bullied by them together.

A long time later, when Fischette and Bernie appeared at the door, I felt a light in my eyes - Bernie took Fichcht's hand!

"Congratulations!" I jumped up again: "Normalization of diplomatic relations between the two countries—oops!"

Ben Governor's head was knocked again.

The old mother withdrew her hand and led everyone to salute Fischette: "Your Majesty, princess." Please be seated. ”

"Aunt Cathering, I think. Fichette looked at Bernie, who was full of shyness beside her: "I want to ......"

"Majesty, I can't help with the government affairs of Majesty. The old mother replied softly: "But don't worry, as a friend of the former queen, Your Majesty's marriage will be wrapped up in me." ”

"Thank you, Aunt Cathering!" Fichette was so agitated that even Bernie, who was beside him, gave her a senior salute to her mother—this was not right!

Isn't it me who brought the captives, and isn't it me who brought them together? Ah! Why didn't anyone thank me? And beat me, it's not fair!

"Bernie, introduce to you. Fichette walked up to me with Princess Bernie, pointed at me and said, "This is Cohen." Al Qaeda. You can call him Governor, General, can't remember the name or even Hey......"

This is the majesty I have worked so hard for, and he has introduced me to others like this—who can tell me who this heavy color and light friend is?

"Cohen. General Al Qaeda. I've heard it for a long time. Bernie looked at me, "Did you ask someone to 'invite' me?"

"Yes, I asked someone to 'invite' you. I replied, "Is Her Royal Highness the Princess satisfied with my arrangement?"

"To be honest, General, your arrangements are very reckless, and your actions are dangerous, which is really hateful. With that, Bernie held out her hand to me, smiled and continued, "Still, I want to thank you. ”

"Huh?" Bernie's words changed so quickly that I was a little flustered and forgot to take her hand.

"Hahaha. Seeing my embarrassment, Fichette next to him laughed uncontrollably: "Cohen was tricked by us, it's rare to see it in a hundred years!"

Looking at the smiling people in front of me, I made a decision: I, I will never do this kind of thing again!

※※※In the evening, my father and I stayed in the back building to discuss the next step.

I spread out the map and first explained the results of the negotiations with a few neighboring provinces, and listened to their opinions.

"Even if you plan to divide your forces and attack the rear of the Holy Capital, you still have to keep enough troops in front of the rebels to contain them. Dad looked at the map and considered, "You also said that the location of the forward base may be leaked, so how can you guarantee that the rebels will be unprepared? If they are alert, then your surprise plan will not fail?"

"yes, Cohen. Fischette frowned the same: "Although the rebels were defeated first, they still retain considerable strength. You can't afford to underestimate you!"

"There is no underestimation of the enemy, in fact, the leakage of the addresses of these twelve forward bases is itself part of the whole strategy. I pointed to the map and said, "On the surface, our advance base is known to the rebels, but these are twelve advance bases, that is, we have informed the rebels of six routes of the march!"

"You mean that when the rebels know the route of our march, it will be more difficult for them?" Fischette patted his head: "I see!"

"Yes, because the area that the rebels need to defend is quite large, and the location we are going to attack next is close to the Holy Capital, and they must defend it. I explained my arrangement: "To defend an army like ours, with six lines, would be almost impossible with their present strength. ”

Daddy tapped his forehead: "So what?"

So, they only have two options. I sneered and said, "Either draw troops from other places, or concentrate the current forces to defend two of these routes." ”

"Go on. ”

"If they draw troops from other places, then the forces behind the Holy Capital will be further emptied. I can slow down and stabilize my frontal attack. And the army that is attacking from behind can let go of it, and when the time comes, the rebels will be in crisis. I said, "On the contrary, if the rebels do not draw troops from other places, then our forces that attack from the flank and rear can stand by, and the troops in front of me will find a hole in the defense of the rebels and force a surprise attack." ”

The two of them looked at the map and thought for a long time, but it was Daddy who asked first.

"Are you sure you can break through from the front?" Daddy asked worriedly, "According to our intelligence, Lu Man has received reinforcements, and elite legions from all countries have disbanded and thrown themselves into Lu Man's army in the form of mercenaries. ”

"No problem, our army has eliminated about 150,000 rebels before, and they are still replenishing the front line, but judging by the information that is coming back now. I held out two fingers: "Even if it is the day we attack, the frontal rebels will be about twice as strong as our army, no problem." ”

But my father reprimanded me harshly: "Twice the military strength should not be underestimated, Cohen, you can't be proud of a battle, this is a matter of the overall situation!"

"I'm not proud, I've done a lot of calculations beforehand. I replied to my father seriously: "Because Lisan Province is occupied by our army, and the rebels do not have enough food and grass, it is estimated that there will not be too many cavalry." And our army is good at long-distance raids, as long as we use extraordinary mobility ability, we can completely create enough fighters to destroy the rebels!"

Dad didn't give in: "What about the terrain, what about the accuracy of the intelligence?"

"In terms of topography, not only are the scouts conducting field reconnaissance, but there are also detailed maps drawn by three painters from the Lisan branch of the Holy Capital College, whose maps have been tested in the field and are very accurate, and the sculptors have made large sand tables based on the maps. I said, "The information has also been cross-checked." ”

"That's right. Daddy breathed a sigh of relief: "When are you going to attack?"

I smiled: "New Year." ”

"New Year's Day, I agree with this time offense. Daddy finally nodded.

"I agree. Fichette then nodded.

"But Cohen!" Daddy shook his head again, "Your personality hasn't changed! Lu Man, the thief, has fun in the New Year." ”

"It's a good New Year. A look of hatred flashed in Fischet's eyes, and he clenched his fists: "There is information that Lu Man has not been very stable during this time. ”

"Why?"

"It's also because of you. Daddy smiled and said, "It is rumored outside that the female general of the Riva Empire led the army to escort the princess to the Dark Province to participate in the selection of a concubine for the new emperor of Spia', and Lu Mana is still arguing with the red-clothed priest for this. ”

"Yes, this is Winterhal as well. Here's why Rainey hates you. Fichette also added with a smile: "Also, Lu Man is also involved with many families at the same time, because they also let the unmarried young lady of the family come to the Dark Province, and now many people hate you!"

"Why, why is this happening? That's the idea that Daddy came up with. I sighed helplessly: "But why are they all settling accounts on me so far?"

Daddy grinned and hugged Fichette.

"It's so easy!" they replied to me in unison, as if they were father and son, "because our reputation has always been pure, upright, and above board!"

"Cut, what's the big deal. I twisted my head to the side in disdain.

There was also a faint laughter in the backyard, and the Doge's Palace was filled with rare joy, and I love everyone here, and everyone here loves me......

In spite of this, this Governor still has to fight at night tonight, and the officials of the various ministries line up from the door of my study to the gate of the garden, and countless official documents are waiting for the Governor's approval...... (To be continued......)
