Chapter 603: The Incident of Gabera 1
“Your Majesty, I am going!”
McDonald bid farewell to his master, Bartley Griffin.
Emperor Battery patted the old marshal on the shoulder and said with great relief: "The northern territory of the empire depends entirely on you, MacDonald!"
MacDonald nodded. .
They were currently located on the northern outskirts of the Imperial Capital of Gabela. On the main road, a total of 30,000 soldiers had already lined up. Among them were infantry, cavalry, archers, and various auxiliary military personnel.
The soldiers formed long lines, connected end to end, occupying the entire road leading from the imperial capital to the north.
At the rear of this team, there were also a large number of cattle, horses and vehicles, loaded with supplies such as food, ordnance and so on.
In addition to Emperor Battery, those who came to see off the old marshal and his team also included various ministers and important members of the royal family, including the prime minister, Duke Diaz, the eldest prince Felix, the second prince Antonio, and the bachelor. Maester Aldrich and Maester Alvi from the tower were both in the send-off procession.
After MacDonald spoke to the emperor for a while, he bowed respectfully to him and mounted his horse.
After sitting down immediately, he looked at the two princes. Felix had a sneer on his lips, while Antonio had a serious look on his face.
Felix must be very happy now. His biggest supporter in Antonio is gone, how can he not be happy?
“Let’s go!”
MacDonald waved his riding crop and ordered the army to set off.
Following his order, the originally quiet army quickly began to move, swimming towards the north like a long snake.
"My dear brother."
Felix said, looking at Antonio.
“You also have to be prepared, maybe our father will send you to the front line one day.”
Antonio didn’t look at him, but just replied: “Of course, I'm always ready to share my worries."
"Oh? That's good."
Emperor Battery waved his hand: "Let's go back. MacDonald will definitely come back with a car full of orc heads as gifts for us."
He led the royal family and ministers back to the imperial capital.
——
As soon as Felix returned to the city, he went to discuss it with his grandfather, Duke Dias.
“A great opportunity has come, a great opportunity has come, dear grandpa.”
He walked up and down the floor of the house excitedly, "Now Antonio is like a tiger that has lost its teeth and claws, and can be slaughtered by us."
"Be patient!" Diaz The Duke looked at Felix's current appearance and shouted sternly.
"McDonald is not far away yet. We have to wait until he is far away before we can take action."
"Damn it, when exactly." Felix was impatient. .
“We have to wait at least seven days.” Duke Dias returned to his usual expression, looking a little calm and relaxed.
"In these seven days, we must gather all our strength and clench it into a fist to be more powerful."
"But if something unexpected happens..." Felix still wanted to argue. ,
“Your Highness!”
Ms. Coleridge, who came with Felix, warned.
“We should trust the Duke’s judgment.”
"Okay, I'll wait!" Felix gritted his teeth. Duke Dias glanced at Ms. Coleridge with some surprise. She was a beautiful lady with silver hair. Every man would have wild fantasies when he looked at her.
But the Duke knew that this was a beautiful flower with a deadly sting. Coleridge was a female killer recruited by the Dias family. She had incredible powers. His ability is a rare sharp blade.
After passing the loyalty test, Coleridge was sent to his grandson by Duke Dias and became a court lady. Firstly, to protect Felix, and secondly, she also played a certain role. a surveillance role.
But today the Duke discovered that his grandson Felix, who had always been a bit impatient, was persuaded by this woman with just one word.
The attitude of Felix towards Coleridge that he saw on weekdays slowly emerged in the Duke's mind.
He suddenly had a suspicion - maybe Felix fell in love with this female killer.
This is a dangerous signal, the Duke thought in his heart, "The throne of the future Queen of the Gabela Empire cannot be filled by a female assassin. The Queen should have a nobler bloodline to help the Emperor stabilize the empire. "
But the way Felix looked at her - Duke Dias observed more and more carefully, and felt more and more that his guess was correct - he was obviously invested with a lot of emotion.
It seems that he has to find time to persuade his grandson. How can the ruler of a country let a woman fill his heart.
Don't be like his father who actually fell in love with an evil witch.
——
After coming out of Duke Dias's mansion, Felix took advantage of the carriage to return to his residence.
Ms. Coleridge rode in the same carriage with him.
Felix was still excited at this moment. In his mind, he suddenly pictured himself wearing a crown and receiving congratulations from everyone, and then he pictured himself being surrounded by a group of soldiers, and finally being outnumbered and killed. scene.
Your fate will be decided within this month.
If he wins, he will be the supreme Emperor Gabera. If he fails, he will lose everything, even his life.
Nervous and excited, he involuntarily stretched out his hand to hold the jade-like wrist of the lady opposite, but Ms. Coleridge avoided it gracefully.
"Your Highness, now is not the time."
"Haha, I'm sorry, Coleridge."
Felix had a smile on his face, he had been smitten with this beautiful lady for a long time.
"I swear, Coleridge, after I wear the crown, I will definitely make you the queen of the empire, and let you share my power and glory with me."
< br>Because something was about to happen, he spoke out the words that had been buried in his heart for a long time.
Ms. Coleridge smiled sweetly, which made Felix fascinated.
The lady whispered: "Your Highness really loves to joke. When you really ascend the throne, I just want to be by your side every day like now, and I will be very satisfied."
"Oh! Coleridge, your character is as noble as the moon in the sky."
Felix praised, "I have become more and more determined in my inner thoughts. Yes, that position is only You deserve it.”
Coleridge just smiled slightly.
"Your Highness, you should be focused on doing the things you are doing right now. Only if you succeed will you be qualified to plan for the future."
"Ah, Coleridge, you What he says always makes sense.”
Prince Felix said sincerely.
There has been some confusion recently...
