Chapter 30: The army enters the city
It took most of the day to read all kinds of construction information in the last two or three years of Wang Du.
Standing next to the giant map, Charles touched his chin.
Empathy automatically begins in the brain.
And years of experience also automatically emerged.
After thinking for a while, he picked up a pen and whispered to Jem Wads: "First of all, it is a more conventional place, the terrain is hidden, and the flow of people is relatively small, but it can't be too far from the people. ”
After that, he sketched out the map, circled and marked the areas with numbers, most of which were old ruins in the royal capital, which had been abandoned due to the passage of time, and were basically used as slums or warehouses or other places.
After spending seven or eight laps, and arranging them in the order of numbers, Charles explained: "Next is the better hiding place, which is either extremely remote and unnoticeable, or it is close to the flow of people, and the huge flow of people hides its own anomaly. The former is okay to say, no matter how much you cover it up, if you want to perform a demonic ritual, it will inevitably leave traces in those wilderness, while the latter must have the local magnates as an umbrella, otherwise it will definitely be discovered, and it is itself a mixed bag, so it will be more difficult to find. ”
So I sketched it on the map again, starting from the center of the city and outward, and drew about ten points before stopping, and marked them one by one.
"These locations are not easy to investigate, all kinds of forces are intricate, most of them are old fritters, if you can, it's best to let the people in the church check it, after all, they take your benefits.
Because they are outsiders, they are more ruthless and are not afraid of offending people, so it is also very suitable, and there is also a point that for cultists, their feelings are indeed very keen, far above those regular soldiers, and they can have a greater probability of discovering problems. ”
After thinking about it, Jem Watts also felt that this was the truth, so he nodded and replied:
"Good.
If they want to enter the royal capital, they really need a chance to show their muscles and prove their strength to the various forces in the royal capital, and I don't think they will refuse this request. ”
Seeing that the other party accepted his opinion, Charles nodded, and said with a serious expression: "The next are the most important places, if you want to search at that time, I think it is better for you to do it with the people of the church, otherwise it may cause a big mess." ”
Although he was a little puzzled, looking at Charles's serious look, Jem Watts still responded: "...... I understand. ”
"Next are the best and worst locations, generally if there is really any cult in these locations, then even if they are not crooked spirits, they are definitely planning big things with bad intentions, and they will be a big trouble for the future Duchy of Marton, so once you find out, I suggest that you directly exterminate them on the spot, the kind at all costs. ”
Hearing this, Jem immediately understood that the next few locations might be a little tricky.
The first thing I saw was the location of the royal palace, followed by the Colosseum, the Central Library, and the Earl of Art......
Any one of them is extremely difficult, either in a high position, or in a complicated backing.
Jem Watts instantly felt a slight pain in his head.
If you want to check all these places plus the locations in the previous circle, you will basically offend a quarter of the magnates in the royal capital, and there are even some members of the royal family, which will undoubtedly not be very conducive to his coronation ceremony in the near future.
Looking at the other party's somewhat hesitant look, Charles said helplessly: "You can't worry too much at this time, if you fail, there will be nothing, so there is no way to shed a little blood, no matter whose blood is shed...... If there is really a problem in the most critical places, I only hope that you will not show mercy, no matter who the other party is, it is the easiest way to be ruthless. ”
The implication is to let Jem Watts kill him if he finds something wrong, and don't leave any chance for the other party.
If someone secretly arranged a summoning ceremony in a place like the royal palace, then the people of the Crooked Spirit Society must have joined forces with one of Jem Wads's siblings, otherwise it would be impossible to hide it from Jem Wads.
On the other hand, if the base camp of the crooked spirits in the royal capital is the Colosseum, the Central Library or something, then their collaborators must be the top magnates of the royal capital to have that ability, and their status may be a little higher than that of ordinary princes and princesses, and Jem Watts is very likely to be restrained at that time.
That's not to say that Jem Watts is soft-hearted.
As a prince, and a prince who is about to wear a crown, Charles knows that Jem Watts can stand out from his siblings, and he is by no means a soft-hearted man!
Although it is not a generation of heroes, it is definitely a ruthless type, otherwise the position of the ass will definitely not be as stable as it is now.
It's just that sometimes, these superiors need to think about more things, and there is a high possibility that things will get out of control because of some other concerns.
Charr has not been unfamiliar with similar situations in other countries.
Jem Watts also understood what Charles meant, and after a moment of silence, his eyes showed a hint of cruelty, and he made a decision: "...... In that case, let's set the last few targets for the last search!
Clean up the rest of the place first.
If you really have to do it, you will not hesitate to let the royal capital be full of blood. ”
As Charles said, if you don't do it well, you will leave a remnant and suffer from it.
Since this is the case, then simply go straight to the ruthless hand and kill it directly, anyway, there are too many rotten things in the royal capital, just take this opportunity to take advantage of the situation to have a big cleansing, and clean up all the things that made him hesitate in the past!
"Tomorrow, tomorrow I will have the troops loyal to me in the army stationed in the city, and when the time comes, I will run everything over in the simplest way. ”
Hearing Jem Watts' affirmative reply, Charles smiled.
"Very good, this is the appearance of a crown prince, his heart is not ruthless, and his seat is unstable. ”
Picking up the wine glass, Charles toasted the other party and said, "I hope everything goes well tomorrow." ”
"Hopefully......"
Jem Watts said helplessly.
In his heart, he had already begun to think about how to stabilize the situation in the royal capital after he finished his move.
---------
The next day, in the early hours of the morning.
The sky was far from bright, and it was still very gray.
"Don't come any closer, which unit are you, tell your commander to come out to me!"
Looking at the national army outside the city gate, Krot, the officer in charge of the city gate, clenched the weapon in his hand and muttered in his heart.
'What the hell is this, sending so many troops into the city overnight, could it be that they want to mutiny!'
Just when he was thinking about whether to ring the alarm bell immediately, the army below automatically gave way to a road, and a man with a torch and a war horse came to the front.
After shining a torch on his face, Jem Watts said in a deep voice, "Crot, it's me!"
"His Highness Jem?"
Looking at the face revealed in the firelight, Krot immediately recognized the identity of the other party, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, since the consul's person was the crown prince, then the worst option could be ruled out.
After all, no one will rebel against themselves!
Jem Watts calmly ordered, "That's right, open the gates!"
"Yes, please wait a moment, Your Highness!"
Without any hesitation, Krot immediately took his order.
Because he was propped up by Jem Wads.
Since a few years ago, when he was still competing with his brothers and sisters for the crown prince's position, Jem Watts has placed his own people in various key positions, and Krot is one of them.
Looking at the slowly opening gate in front of him, Jemwaltz nodded in satisfaction.
Although it is just a casual move, it is somewhat useful, otherwise he has not succeeded to the throne, and he has to worry about some other factors.
After gesticulating, he began to enter with his troops like a tidal wave.
-----------
Quiet, extremely quiet.
There is no such thing as a glamorous thing.
In this era of little entertainment, the first half of the night was fine, and there were a few figures walking around.
But once it comes to the second half of the night, there is not even a ghost on the road, and there is no 24-hour operation of the Chang Pavilion.
Even if it's the capital of a principality.
At this time, in the area of the city gate, there was no sound except for the footsteps of the army and the footsteps of the war horses.
"Krot. ”
Looking at the dark city in front of him, Jemwoz exhaled softly:
Krot's body was agitated and hurriedly responded: "The subordinates are here!"
After glancing at him lightly, Jem Watts said with a serious expression: "Now that the country has reached a moment of crisis, I have received a secret report that there are cultists lurking in the royal capital, intending to do things that endanger the entire principality, so from now on I want you to guard the city gates, and no one is allowed to enter and exit without permission, once someone tries to disobey the order, you will be killed directly!"
As soon as he heard this order, Krot immediately made a difficulty, with his manpower to suppress the entry and exit of the whole city, it was a little too difficult, once there was a riot, he might not be able to stop it, but he had to do it if the order came down, so he stubbornly said: "Obey the order, promise to complete the task!!"
Seeing that he had an embarrassed face but also took the order, Jem Watts felt a little funny, and said casually: "Very good, I will plan a few hundred soldiers for you, be sure to stabilize the situation for me, and don't make any big trouble!"
Krot was immediately overjoyed: "Yes!!"
He never dreamed that he would one day be able to control the power of the army.
Although this military power is time-sensitive, it cannot be used at will.
But at least it's okay to have a good time!
Immediately followed a knight to lead his soldiers, and his expression was extremely impatient.
After all, every man expects something like this to happen.
