Chapter 581: Seeing Death and Not Saving It
"Who are you from Little Monroe?" Seeing that the person in front of him was smiling all the time, Clemens was a little dissatisfied.
"General Huiyu: The little one is barely a guard next to my general!"
"You" Until this moment, Clemens could not find a trace of sadness on the man's face, and he couldn't help but be annoyed! But just as he tried to reprimand the man in front of him loudly, Trolope came to stop him.
"May I ask what your general has to entrust to Clemens?" Unlike Clemens, Trollope was very polite to the guard in front of him.
"My general's hope that Master Clemens will save their lives as much as possible!" said the little Monroe's guard, turning and pointing to the rebel army with their heads held high and maintaining their military posture.
"My general said that they are all loyal and brave men who have shed blood and made sacrifices for the country! Everything they have done today is carrying out the orders of the upper echelons, and they have nothing to do with themselves! They don't know anything about the affairs of the upper echelons at all!"
"They're guilty of treason! I can't promise them anything!" said Clemens.
"Clemens is right! At our level, it's hard to say anything about that. But I promise you: we will do everything we can to fulfill little Monroe's last wish!"
"Thank you!" the guard bowed respectfully to Trollope and Clemens, and carefully placed the body of little Monroe in front of Clemens' horse.
"Take him away!" 'He doesn't want to owe me', I'm going to let him owe me a favor forever!"
"Really?"
"General Ben has always said yes, take him with him, get out of here!" Clemens waved impatiently at the guard.
"My general said, don't bother the two masters! If you don't want to take him to receive the reward. Then he hopes that the adults can let him be buried in peace!"
"What?" Clemens stared at the guard with wide eyes, barely believing his ears.
The guard looked at Clemens and smiled, not saying anything more. Pulled out the dagger that had been hidden in the cuff and stabbed it into his own chest!
"You" Clemens tried to jump off his horse to save the guard's life. But Trollope tugged at his sleeve firmly.
"It's hopeless!" Trollope shook his head slightly as he looked at Clemens, who was about to get angry with him.
"Little Monroe is like this, he is like this, why did they all leave us in such a strange way?!" Looking at the guard who fell beside Little Monroe with a smile, Clemens's tears that had just stopped welled up again.
"Little Monroe knew very well that he was guilty of an unforgivable sin, and he had no choice but to make such a choice in order not to disturb his friends, and he could not bear to let his master leave alone!" Trolope originally wanted to comfort Clemens, but as he spoke, he suddenly felt sadness in it, and his eyes were blurred!
"They are all good boys of my Dongyu. It's a pity!" Higgins, who rushed to hear the news, couldn't help but sigh deeply when he saw the scene in front of him.
"General Higgins!" Seeing Higgins, Trollope immediately recalled little Monroe's last wish.
"Don't say anything, I already know everything!" Higgins knew very well what Trollope was going to say, although he had the intention to do it, but the matter was so widely implicated that he did not dare to make any promises to Trollope and Clemens without receiving a clear command from His Majesty Virgil. In order to have room for both sides to maneuver on the matter, Higgins did not let Trollope continue.
"Let's be honest. I envy the brotherhood between the three of them, and I also admire the courage of the two brothers who are willing to 'stick a knife in both sides'! If they were just ordinary pawns, even if I had to take the risk of 'being punished and losing their official position' today, I would have let them go immediately. ”
"But their status is so special! I, Higgins, am humble and have no right to have any opinion on their fate or stay. Would you please forgive me?"
"But please rest assured, until His Majesty issues a clear directive, I will do everything possible to protect their safety!"
"Thank you, General!" both men understood that Higgins was telling the truth. Together, they bowed deeply to him.
"Leave everything here to them, and the two of you will return to Beijing with me!"
"Go back to Beijing, aren't we going to save Archduke Edlaide?" Both Trollope and Clemens couldn't help but be slightly stunned as they exchanged glances with each other. Clemens voiced the doubts on their minds on behalf of the two.
"Lord Fred predicts: His Royal Highness the Great Prince should have transferred back to the troops besieging the Church of the Illuminati at this moment, after all, Firano City is the real target of the Great Prince!"
"Is there any accurate news from over there?"
"Not yet, but Lord Fried has no last resort, and since he has made such a judgment, Grand Duke Ed's side should be out of danger by now!"
"Should?" said Trollope and Clemens' eyes widened at the sight of these two words.
"General, can you give me two or three thousand, or a thousand, and let me go over and find out what's going on over there?" Trolop hesitated for a moment, and looked at Higgins pleadingly.
"I know that both of them have a good relationship with the Grand Duke, and I don't hide it from the two of them, and my friendship with the Grand Duke is not bad in private!
"This order is absolutely confidential, please keep quiet after reading it!" said Higgins, taking an oracle from his bosom and handing it to Trolope cautiously.
"Order: After the matter in Hailar County is over, Higgins needs to bring all the soldiers back to the city of Filano to protect the imperial city! One less person for no reason, kill one platoon, one less platoon, kill one team! one less team, kill one army!" After reading this warrant, Trollope and Clemens couldn't help but gasp.
The two of them had known Fred for many years, and they were very familiar with his handwriting, and they didn't need to make much recognition to see that this warrant came from his handwriting!
Almost anyone who is familiar with Li Zijun and Fred knows that these two people appreciate each other and have a good relationship. Li Zijun was able to quickly resolve the Yaksa riot, and he had a close relationship with Fred's advice, and Fred was able to enter the upper echelons of the Southern Legion and show his ambitions for many years.
These two people must even be close to each other in the eyes of outsiders, and Trollope and Clemens really can't figure out, how could Fred draw up such an order with his own hands?!
This warrant seems to be to ensure the integrity of the imperial city, but in fact, this is Li Zijun's death!
Everyone knows that the eldest prince Vorster is eager to eat Li Zijun alive, even if his ultimate goal is the Dongyu throne, he will never give up this great opportunity to get rid of Li Zijun!
The most important thing is that the fifth prince Dennis is now leading the troops, and the location where he is stationed is close to Li Zijun's territory, the Seine Peninsula. If Li Zijun succeeds in escaping back to the Seine Peninsula, the two will definitely join forces to deal with the eldest prince Vorster!
At that time, even if Vorster successfully defeated the resistance in Filano City, he would not be able to finally sit on the throne of Dongwoo.
With Li Zijun's military talent, coupled with the hundreds of thousands of troops in Dennis's hands, it may not be difficult to drive him out of Filano City, or even from the Dongyu Empire!
Waters is not stupid, he naturally knows this truth very well, which is the main reason why he sent such a large army to snipe Li Zijun and others!
'Will Vorster let Edlaide go'?
"What are you kidding!" to the question above, this is almost the most instinctive answer of every sober person in the know!
Although Fred was immobile, he had no problems with his mind, and he was even more awake than most people. But he still gave such an order, why is this?
Trollope and Clemens looked at each other, and suddenly, they both seemed to feel like they didn't know Fred's 'old friend'!
"Two, if only one of them were to lose my official position or be dismissed, even if it was to cut off my head, I would allow the two of you to rush to the rescue of Archduke Ed. But now," Higgins said here, shaking his head helplessly:
"I can only say 'I'm sorry' to both of you!"
"Are we just pretending to be confused?!"
"No way! The military order is like a mountain!, the two of you, carry out the military order!" Higgins sighed deeply, put away all the expressions on his face, and solemnly gave the order to the two.
"Yes"
"Yes!" Clemens stopped Trollope just in time.
Higgins looked at the two and nodded, turned around and gave the order to the whole army to leave for the city of Firano immediately.
"Why are you stopping me, do you think I'm afraid of death?" Higgins had just left, and Trolop pushed Clemens aside.
"You're not afraid of death, but what about your men?" Clemens' question made Trolope instantly turn into a deflated balloon and suddenly lose its voice.
"At this point, we can only carry out the order!"
"We're all right to 'enforce the military order', but what about the Grand Duke?"
"What would you do if you were the Grand Prince and you heard the news of Hailar County after entering Filano City?" Clemens asked as he looked at Trolop without answering.
"What else can be done, concentrate your forces and take the imperial city first!" Speaking of this, Trollope suddenly felt his eyes light up.
"You mean?" Trollope couldn't help but glance at the soldiers outside Hailar County.
"You're smart, but we must seize the moment, otherwise, you and I will be the sin of beheading!" Clemens looked around inadvertently, deliberately lowering his voice, reminding. (To be continued......)
