Chapter 592 Conspiracy
A simply decorated carriage slowly drove into the gate of the Gabela Imperial Capital and continued driving to the Bachelor's Tower for more than half an hour.
A cloaked man was standing at the door looking around. When he saw the carriage coming, he immediately stepped forward to greet it.
"Amborov, why are you here today?" A gentle female voice came from the carriage.
The cloaked man opened the carriage, bowed his body in a gesture of invitation, and said: "Dear Ms. Mariana, I don't have to be on duty in the palace today."
A tall woman came out of the carriage and said, "I want to see the two masters Aldrich and Alvi immediately."
Amborov looked around and whispered: "The two masters are waiting for you, and Marshal Macdonald has also come quietly."
Mariana looked stern, "In that case, is His Highness also here?"
Amber Love shook his head, "No, His Highness was caught up in some things in the palace and can't come today."
Mariana shook her teeth, "Okay, take me in quickly. ”
Ten minutes later, in the pavilion where Aldrich and Alvi talked to Macdonald last time, Mariana met the two old bachelors and the marshal of the empire.
She was already familiar with Aldrich and Alvi, but she didn’t know Macdonald that well. "It is an honor to meet you, the pillar of Gabera, Marshal MacDonald."
MacDonald did not respond immediately, but stared at the lady in front of him. Since becoming a follower of His Highness Antonio, he has gradually come into contact with the inner circle surrounding His Highness, including the senior leaders of the Secret Law Society and the Group of Ten, the management body of the Secret Law Society. He is also familiar with most of them, except for two members. One is missing, and even the other members of the Ten-man Group don't know where they are. The other is the lady Mariana in front of him. When Macdonald became Antonio's follower, this lady was in the Corner Bay. Perform secret missions.
Of course, Macdonald had already known from other people that there was a woman in the group of ten, but he could not help but be surprised when he saw Mariana for the first time, firstly because of her beauty, and secondly because The other party is young (compared to the old men in the ten-member group), and it is incredible to hear that she has an almost adult son. But MacDonald also knows that you can't judge a witch's age based on appearance alone.
"It is very rude to look at a lady like this, Mr. Macdonald."
Mariana reminded with a smile.
"Sorry, sorry! I'm rude. It's an honor to meet you, Ms. Mariana." McDonald laughed heartily.
After the polite words were finished, the five people, including Ampolov, quickly started discussing business.
"I asked you to come back this time because things have indeed reached a very critical moment, and your power may be needed by then."
Aldrich said with a frown.
Mariana nodded, indicating that she understood that she had learned about what happened to Gabela recently from the group of ten. More than two months ago, shocking news came from the north. The orcs on the prairie suddenly moved south in large numbers and captured several states in the north of Gabela. These countries were all subordinate to Gabela. The country was protected by Gabela. The orcs' move was obviously a serious provocation to Gabela, which was absolutely intolerable to Gabela, who founded the country by force. His Majesty the Emperor was furious and vowed to show some color to the stuffed barbarians on the grassland.
The emperor quickly convened an imperial meeting and ordered the courtiers to immediately come up with a counterattack plan. Duke Dias, who serves as prime minister, proposed that MacDonald be the commander-in-chief and Siegfried be his deputy. They should lead the imperial army north to teach the orcs a lesson. Not only should they retake the tributary countries occupied by the orcs, but they should also go deep into the grassland and completely kill several tribes. Beat the orcs so hard that they will not dare to think of going south again for more than ten years.
The furious Emperor Bartley Griffin immediately approved the prime minister's plan and ordered Macdonald and Siegfried to start preparations today. They must go out within two months. If there are not enough soldiers and food, he will Find ways to make up for it.
But for Antonio, Aldrich and others, a problem arises. The two people recommended by Duke Dias are exactly Antonio’s right-hand men in the army, and they were transferred to a distant place in this way. Going north, we have to go deep into the prairie. I don't know how many years it will take to get back. Wouldn't this be like cutting off two of the arms of His Highness the Second Prince?
This situation is very dangerous. The eldest prince and Duke Dias also have their supporters in the army. The departure of MacDonald and Siegfried will instantly cause an imbalance of power between the two parties in the army.
"This is the conspiracy of the old fox Diaz!" Aldrich said with a dark face, "We must take action before the army goes out."
Mariana looked at Ampolov, "What does Your Highness mean?"
Amborov, who serves as the chief of the palace guard, frowned and said: "Your Highness is still hesitant to take the final action."
Yar Wei shook his head and said: "There is no room for any hesitation anymore. The Dias family's knife is already on our necks. What do you think, old marshal?"
McDonald nodded, "I also agree to take action, but not immediately?"
Aldridge asked in surprise: "Why?"
McDonald said: "I and As soon as Siegfried and our army are in the imperial capital, the eldest prince and the Dias family will be on high alert. If they take action now, they may be prepared, and we may be the ones who fail."
Anbo. Love asked very anxiously: "When should that be? If you and Sieg fly away, it will be too late."
McDonald was about to say, but saw a smile appear on the corner of Ms. Mariana's mouth, and asked Said: "Madam, what do you think?"
Mariana said with a smile: "The old marshal didn't mean to pretend to leave the imperial capital first, but not go far, and lure the snake out of the hole before killing it, right?"
McDonald also laughed, Touching his beard, he said: "It's somewhat similar, but not exactly."
Everyone looked at him, hoping to get an explanation.
The old marshal then explained to everyone: "If we have to wait until Diaz takes action first and we take action later, the initiative will not be in our hands. It will be too dangerous if we cannot control the heat. I mean we You still have to make the first move. There is a saying from foreign countries that the first move is to seize the advantage. But the time to make the move must be when the eldest prince and Dias are at their most relaxed, when Siegfried and I are leaving. After the Imperial Capital, if there is no movement from them at this time, we will seize this opportunity to kill them. Of course, Siegfried and I will return to the Imperial Capital immediately.”
