Chapter 408: Exploring the Palace at Night

After Wang Yong rose to the height of absolute safety, he felt a burst of joy in his heart, because Wang Yong saw through his divine sense that the person on the carriage was Regan's father, the Duke of Sanchez.

Seeing that Duke Sanchez and his party walked to the gate of the castle, only one person walked in, while the others scattered away, Wang Yong touched his chin and thought for a while, and then decided to lean over to see if there was a chance to take Duke Sanchez away directly.

Coming to the castle, Wang Yong observed for a while before he figured out the rules of the patrolling soldiers on the castle, and then took advantage of the two teams of soldiers to patrol and descend rapidly, hiding in a dim place where the fire could not be illuminated at the height of the third floor of the castle.

After staying quietly for a while, feeling that he had not been discovered, Wang Yong controlled the flying sword and slowly looked for the trace of Duke Sanchez on the outer wall of the castle.

Wang Yong didn't think about entering the castle directly, but thinking that this is the palace, there will definitely be no fewer masters, if he is blocked in a dead end after entering, then he will want to cry without tears, so Wang Yong did not take risks, but looked around for a place to see the inside of the castle.

Wang Yong had just turned a corner before he suddenly stopped, and then slowly retreated, because Wang Yong saw two neatly armored guards standing on a terrace on the second floor, standing straight on both sides of the terrace.

Wang Yong probed his brain and observed for a while, and then tested it again with his divine sense, and only after confirming that the two guards were just ordinary people did he put his mind at ease.

Wang Yong pondered: "The front of the castle is lit by the firelight, and there is no way for me to go there, and the back of the castle, except for the empty room, is where some guards gather, and there are guards on the terrace I just saw, which means that there must be something very important or a big person there." After hesitating for a while, Wang Yong couldn't help but be curious. In the end, I decided to go over and find out.

The decision was made, the castle of the palace had a total of six floors, Wang Yong first controlled the flying sword to rise to the height of the fifth floor, and then carefully flew to the top of the terrace guarded by the guards little by little, and then slowly descended, until it descended to the height of the fourth floor.

Seeing that the two guards on the terrace were just standing in place stupidly, Wang Yong's nervous mood relaxed slightly, and then carefully released his divine sense and passed through the wooden door behind the guards to check the situation inside.

In the room, Bhasin Orfgang, the emperor of the Empire of Ireland, was sitting in a large chair covered with thick animal skins. On the huge table in front of him were stacks of copywriting.

At this time, Emperor Baxin was frowning and listening to the report of a noble general in armor in the opposite group, and Duke Sanchez was also in this group, but now he did not have the arrogance and invincibility that Wang Yong had when he first saw him, but stood aside respectfully, listening to the report of the noble general.

The noble general respectfully reported: "Due to the rebellion of the lords of the province of Lie, now the entire province of Liebu has been completely lost, and the thirteen legions of our empire have lost almost three legions before retreating to the border between the provinces of Berni and Bra and the province of Lie, and have completed the basic fortifications in the shortest possible time. The 23 field regiments originally stationed in the two provinces of Bula and Siri also set out for the support of the province of Lieche 10 days ago, and it is estimated that they will be able to reach the border of the province of Liezi in 20 days at the latest. However, if the Lawson Empire attacks during this time. Then it will be difficult for the border defenders to resist. ”

The emperor's brows furrowed even tighter, and he thought for a while before he said to a middle-aged nobleman dressed in magnificent leather armor, "Bert, you heard what Pinto said. Is there any good way to quickly assemble forces and then retake the province in one fell swoop?"

Bert thought for a moment and replied, "Of the ten provinces of the Empire, the four provinces of Seashore, West Asia, Falk and Daili border the Eternal Empire, and the Eternal Empire, which is currently eyeing the border, has already mobilized a large number of troops to the border. According to His Majesty, abandon the provinces of West Asia and lead the enemy deep into the hinterland, and then. The three provinces of Haihai, Vadow, and Fokker planned to send troops to encircle and annihilate the enemy at the same time, and the troops of the five border provinces were already overstretched, and the garrisons of the only rear provinces, the Xili Province, had basically all been transferred to support the border resistance of the Lyric provinces against the Rosen Empire. Now the only province with a large army is the province of Aier, where the imperial capital is located. However, if troops are transferred from here, if the provinces of Daili and Falk are captured by the Eternal Empire, then the imperial capital will be in danger. Therefore, we do not yet have a good way to retake the province of Liezhi. ”

Hearing this, the emperor sat back in the wide chair, closed his eyes, his fingers kept tapping on the armrests of the chair, thinking about the pros and cons, and the whole room fell into silence, only the sound of the emperor's fingers tapping on the armrests kept ringing.

After a long time, the emperor opened his eyes and asked, "Bert, tell me how many legions there are in the province of Er." ”

Bert was stunned for a moment, and then replied honestly: "There are a total of thirty field legions in the province of El, and there are twenty-three legions of the city defense army in various cities. Among the thirty field legions, there are ten heavy cavalry legions with a total of 20,000 heavy cavalry, as well as five light cavalry legions, five heavy infantry legions, and ten light infantry legions, which are the most elite troops in the Empire. ”

The Emperor opened the map on his table and looked at it for a long time, and then said to Bert in a tone that could not be refused: "Mobilize the borders of the provinces of Berni and Lieche in the southern part of the province of Er, and then inform the supporting troops of the provinces of Bra and Siri to advance lightly, and must reach the border of the province of Berni within fifteen days." ”

Bert was about to say something, but when he saw that the emperor's face was undoubted, he hurriedly stood up and saluted and said loudly: "Yes, the task will be completed." ”

The Emperor turned to General Pinto, who had just reported on the situation of the battle, and said: "You will take the troops of the El Province to the border of the Province of Berni in a moment, and hold it together with the ten legions there, and when the reinforcements from the provinces of Vado and Siri arrive, you will launch a counteroffensive, and you must recapture the entire province of Liebu within two months, and firmly hold the two passes in the south of the province to prevent the Empire of Lawson from counterattacking." ”

Seeing Pinto's embarrassment, the emperor gritted his teeth and said, "I'll give you five more royal cavalry regiments and five royal heavy infantry regiments, if you can't complete the task and don't have to come back, I will give your head to your family, and then let them accompany you." ”

General Pinto's face changed, but after thinking of the Royal Cavalry Regiment and the Royal Heavy Infantry Regiment that the Emperor had promised him, Bert, who knew their superior combat strength very well, became confident again, strode forward and saluted, "I will complete the task." The Emperor nodded in satisfaction, and wrote a letter to Pinto, telling him to immediately begin mobilizing his troops and setting off.

When General Pinto pushed open the door of the room and was about to leave, Wang Yong, who had been eavesdropping outside, changed his face drastically, and hurriedly withdrew his divine sense and controlled the flying sword to rise as fast as he could, until it was a few hundred meters above the ground.

It turned out that when General Pinto pushed open the door, Wang Yong's divine consciousness also spread out, and the four guards guarding the door, that is, the black-armored warriors, rushed into the room without hesitation after being swept by Wang Yong's divine sense.

As for Wang Yong, when his divine sense swept over the four black-armored warriors, he had an unprecedented sense of danger, and through their reactions and the speed of their successive movements, Wang Yong could judge that among the four black-armored warriors, two of them were definitely already high-level professions, and the other two were also the pinnacle of intermediate-level professions, and their strength was much higher than that of the black-armored warriors in the Duke's Mansion.

Wang Yong was quietly suspended in the air for a long time, and looking down, there was no large-scale movement in the palace, but the number of soldiers patrolling had increased, and more bonfires were lit around the castle.

Wang Yong didn't go down to eavesdrop again, because the guards of the palace were already on guard, and it would be too easy to leak if it went on like this, so Wang Yong left the sky above the palace and hid in a big tree not far from the palace gate, waiting for Duke Sanchez to leave, while thinking about the information he had just overheard.

From the conversation between the emperor and the two generals, Wang Yong learned that the Eternal Empire was not only planning to capture the coastal province but was preparing to launch a full-scale attack on the Aier Empire, but he didn't know how many troops they had sent and the specific deployment. Also, how many troops did the empire have, the number of troops mobilized by the emperor to the borders of the provinces was definitely more than a hundred thousand, and this was after the border provinces adjacent to the Eternal Empire were fully deployed.

Also, what are the Royal Cavalry Regiment and the Royal Heavy Infantry Regiment? How many such regiments are there? Wang Yong is now in a dark eye. Wang Yong didn't have too many worries about not knowing this before, but now that he knows more, the less confident he is that he can destroy the royal family.

Wang Yong now really wants to arrest the general named Bert and torture him for words and deeds, and make clear the doubts in his heart, but this Bert seems to be a very important military official in the empire, and Wang Yong began to hesitate again.

Not to mention how many guards there will be around high-ranking officials and nobles like Bert, even if Bert can really be captured alive, Wang Yong still has to consider whether losing a heavyweight like Bert will delay the Empire's war against Lawson and the Eternal Empire.

If the Empire of Love loses this war because of the absence of Bertel, then even if the seashore resists the invasion of the Eternal Empire, in the near future, the seashore will face two more powerful existences, Lawson and Eternity, and the pros and cons are self-evident.

I don't know how long later, the gates of the palace opened, and out of them came out of the carriages and a pair of guards in different costumes to follow the carriages they were trying to protect.

Wang Yong found Duke Sanchez's carriage, then took the flying sword into the air from the tree, rose to a certain height, and then released his divine sense, scanning all the carriages and accompanying guards. (To be continued......)
