Chapter 175 The next day: Demon King Hoth
The iron door slammed shut, shutting Drort's scream behind the door.
Barneyforth and Mizam came to a living room in the castle, and several servants immediately brought wine.
After drinking a large glass of wine, Barneyforth sat down on the chair and said with a dejected look: "It's a smash, it's a smash."
"What was broken?" Mizam, who was Prince Condai's personal priest, asked with a smile.
"Can you still laugh? We just caught these farmers who followed Saint Sunhorn in the uprising. Bishop Constance is not a fool. He will only think that we will be defeated."
" But we just returned in defeat. If we let those refugees run away, wouldn’t we return in defeat?" Mizam took a sip of wine, "Defeat does not mean defeat."
"Mizam. "Sir, what do you mean?"
"You don't understand." Mizam bent down and asked Barneyfors to bend down as well, and the two of them whispered.
“You have never experienced anything similar before, so it’s normal that you don’t know. I will teach you one.
In a war, you don't have to win to get credit. You have to be able to speak. If you can speak, you will win if you lose. If you don't speak, you will lose if you win. "
"Oh? "Barneyforth immediately stood up, closed the door of the small study, and asked in a low voice, "I know this kind of method, but can it still be used at this time? "
"Why can't it be used? Is it possible that you still don’t know how to do it? How did you end up in the position of bishop? "Mizam was shocked.
Although he knew everything about it from other things he had done, in the face of such a large-scale war, Barneyforth still muttered, "But we must at least have one person. A little bit of success, right? We didn't even catch one of the leaders. "
After subduing his shock, Mizam held his chin with the back of his hand, with a mysterious expression: "We have this. ”
"This really doesn't exist."
"This can happen!"
"...You mean to find someone to pretend to be?" Barneyforth covered his mouth and suppressed his exclamation. "If this is exposed, wouldn't it be over?"
"Who said that?" Mizam smiled proudly, "You have to report it to Archbishop Constance, and Archbishop Constance has to report it to the Pope. The Pope also has to communicate with the many believers in the empire. Otherwise, where is the majesty of the church? Where is the dignity of Myrcella? Especially after the blue blood was exposed, there is an even greater need for a short-haired senior official. .
Everyone was in a hurry and didn't have time to check. All we had to do was find someone who not many people knew and who looked similar. "
Standing up and wandering back and forth in the room for a while, Barneyforth continued to ask suspiciously: "But what if Shorthair doesn't recognize it? "
"If a senior executive is arrested, who will recognize it? Mizam spread his hands and said, "If they don't admit it, it means we have caught it right. If they admit it, it means we have caught it right." "
"But the question is, where can we find such people? Barneyforth's voice was still hesitant, "The ones we caught were all small gangsters and farmers. You can tell at a glance that they are not short-haired high-ranking people. They are too fake." "
Mizam suddenly pointed outside, which was in the direction of Drolte: "What do you think of him? ”
"Him?" Barneyforth was shocked, "He is a knight."
"I have investigated him. He has a strong body and a majestic face. If we just catch a civilian, Rather, it's not decent." Mizam opened his pocket and pulled out a roll of paper and threw it to Barney Forth. "His family fell into decline a hundred years ago. He is still alone, without a wife, not close to women, and has a withdrawn personality.
The most important thing is that the demon grandson and his men came to the Duke's castle many times before, and he was the one who welcomed him.
I have seen Demon Sun in person and even talked to him. He is more familiar with these short-haired senior officials than the rest of us. When asked, he can tell the truth."
"But he is the Duke's knight commander. , responsible for the protection of the Duke and the castle, he should lead the way and monitor visitors.”
"Then how come he is alive while the Duke is dead?" Mizam sneered, "It was precisely because he betrayed the Duke that the Duke was arrested."
Barneyforth was stunned. .
Mizam took out a piece of paper and quickly wrote a draft on it: "Our wise and heroic Duke should have been able to defeat the enemy quickly, but the enemy ambush a short-haired man next to the Duke. Spy.
This spy is Knight Commander Drolt. Drolt secretly gave a strand of the Duke's curly hair to Demon Sun Horn, who used the magic of voodoo dolls. Curse the Duke to death
How could the Duke die if it wasn't Drolte?
The knights were leaderless, but they still bravely faced the enemy. They were first blown into the river by the devil's wind, and then fought with ghosts in the river.
Seeing that we were about to be killed, we rushed with our troops. Shorthair was terrified and retreated in advance, all the way to the Wild Spider Forest. We suffered heavy casualties and had to leave Drault and escape.
After our investigation, Drort’s true identity is Demon Sun Horn’s uncle and Demon Sun Horn’s deputy. The next day, Demon King Segal Hoss Galal, even if he is Demon Sun Horn, Sun Horn, I have to kneel down and salute him every day..."
"Wait, wait, wait, I have a few questions. "Barnifus covered his forehead.
Stop writing, Mizam raised his head: "Please tell me. "Why should we clear the Duke's identity?" Now that the Blue Blood incident has been revealed, wouldn't it be better to beat him as he deserves to dispel the anger of the people?
Secondly, why the curvy hair? What's the purpose of this?
Finally, didn’t Segal escape with the help of the Grocers Guild? Why are you here again? "
Putting down the pen, Mizam slowly began to explain to Barney Forth: "First of all, we must not recognize the Blue Blood Orphanage. All relevant evidence must be destroyed, and all insiders must be destroyed. Gotta seal it.
The Duke cooperates with the church to sell blue blood wine. If the Duke is not clean, then wouldn’t Horn and the others be right? So how should we deal with it?
Second, we need the Duke to be innocent in this matter, but his character must be unclean and he must have brought the blame on himself, so that we can take over the Duke's property and prevent relatives from coming to take advantage of the situation.
The curly hair is to imply that his orientation is abnormal and violates the teachings, and he deserves to be killed by being used.
At the same time, he has an affair with Demon Sun Horn's uncle. This kind of curious rumor is what people love to talk about, diverting the attention of the people from the blue blood.
Third, Sehgal ran away, and others don’t know. We need a character who is substantial and real enough, otherwise how can some small fish and shrimps interact with each other?
We gave him the middle name Hoss, making him similar to his nephew's name. People who didn't know better thought we had captured Horn.
Even if it is exposed, it can be said that we never said he was Horn. Do you have any more questions? "
Looking at Mizam's peacefully smiling face, Barneyforth shuddered: "No, there is no problem.
…………………… In the spider forest, dozens of jumping spiders and seven or eight bull spiders fell in front of him.
The remaining giant spiders are still fighting with the infantry, seemingly endlessly.
“Where did these spiders come from?” Prince Condai shook the disgusting slime on his sword.
A man wearing a blue embroidered cloak and dressed as a scholar replied: "Giant spiders are said to live in caves in the mountains. They have only gradually appeared in the past hundred years. Not many naturalists are familiar with it. "
This scholar was hired by Prince Condai from the Salin Scholars Association as his usual advisor.
Prince Kong Dai shook his head. He tried to force a breakthrough, but it was difficult to walk in the forest and it was difficult to set up a charging array.
The most disgusting thing was that the spider silk spewed out by the giant spiders that came to attack would entangle the hooves and legs of the war horses. Although it would not cause any damage, it would force them to dismount from time to time to clean the spider silk.
Thinking of the swamps and mountains behind the woodland, Prince Condai felt a rare tiredness.
Had he known it was such a troublesome thing, he should not have gone to Xiaochi City in the first place, but should have personally suppressed this group of refugees.
“Forget it, let’s go back.” Controlling the horses and turning around to leave, Prince Condai said in a wan voice, “There’s no need to waste time here. Go to the church and ask about this blue-blood monastery. How to lure away the guard monster?"
"Yes, Your Highness."
After the scholar walked away, Boioluo chased after him on horseback: "Your Highness, are we going to Castle Joan now?"
"Yes." Prince Condai didn't look back, "Let's go first Go to Joan of Arc to replenish supplies, and then I will leave a few of the Order Company to guard the situation, and the remaining people will accompany me to Feiliu Castle to meet with Archbishop Constance."
"I understand." Boolius. He nodded, but his breathing suddenly became rapid, "Your Highness, from the Kingdom of Leia, you want to..."
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask." Prince Condai's voice did not contain any emotion. , but Boolio's whole body tensed up.
“Yes, yes, my lord.”
Prince Condai and Boillou led the extraordinary knights back silently, but halfway there, Prince Condai stopped again.
He turned back, looked at the mountains behind the Wild Spider Forest, and frowned: "What is that sound? What are they shouting?"
Boolius turned his ears and only I heard a faint shout, echoing in the mountains, and I didn't know who was shouting.
A strong winter wind blew through the wild spider forest in front of me, and all the trees rustled, and in the sound, the distant voices became clear.
Prince Kongdai straightened his back.
It was like one person yelling, or like many people yelling.
“For those who are unjust, come forward and listen——”
“Kill all the unjust——Fang Taiping——”
