Chapter 975 206. Poisonous Plot
After Renaldo died and ran away several times before, he was selected by the king to serve as the kingdom's military minister.
Reynardo, who thought his fortune was in good hands, was flooded with snowflakes of battle reports before he could make money like all officials.
Since it is a battle report, it is by no means good news. And as the Minister of Military Affairs, he had to deal with it.
The huge pressure forced him to restrain his sharpness so that he could roll in the dust.
Skaven, demons, and the biggest trouble in recent times, the Blade of Liberty.
While Renaldo was in dire straits, Rekaner was also weakened by the constant blows.
As a result, some evil creatures hiding around the kingdom appeared one after another, casting ill-intentioned glances at this weak human kingdom and taking action.
Reynardo feels that he will soon follow in the footsteps of previous military ministers.
No one is not afraid of death.
Those legendary heroes, are they really not afraid of death?
No, they just fell on the road to pursuing faith.
But this quality has nothing to do with a nobleman or military minister. Renaldo was afraid of death and that his family would not be able to continue.
So when the recommendation letter was placed in front of him, he agreed to Liberty City without much hesitation.
The news that the Minister of War agreed to cooperate with them spread back to Liberty City. This was the largest official they had attracted since launching the war.
At the same time as the news, there was another piece of bombshell news sent back to Liberty City: Eze Bay had been lost.
……
[Letter to Miss Yanes:
Eze Bay has been lost.
That group of lowly mud-legged people besieged us. I wanted to be loyal to the kingdom until the end, but they said that you want your relatives and family to grieve and let the hatred continue?
I stopped and let them grab me.
I'm not worried about my family, but I'm worried about you... How sad would you be if you learned about my death?
But those mud-legged soldiers actually confiscated my letter, allowing me to continue writing to you in the dungeon. In addition to us, there were also guards from nearby towns who were imprisoned. It can be seen that Liberty City is serious about it, and they have also sent out their most powerful black-armored army with weapons like burning fire sticks.
But there is no need to worry. The kingdom was just caught off guard and attacked by these rebels. Soon, the kingdom will send its elite to attack them head-on.
However, my "prisonmates" revealed some disturbing news to me. They said that the rat people were spreading plague on the border... I am worried about my hometown and you.
They were talking again... I heard them say that another group of soldiers were executed by the invaders... I, I may not be able to go back.
My blood will be shed on this land.
Miss Yanes, please forget our agreement and forget me. If you return to your hometown one day, please erect a tomb for me there.
Saint Laurent calendar year 1001, October 18th, Claude]
Claude raised his head, and in front of him was not the clear sky outside the window, but a dark cage.
He and some of his companions who refused to cooperate were imprisoned here, waiting together for the moment to pronounce their fate.
Da-ta-ta-
The sound of empty and chaotic footsteps sounded, and the guards pushing the dining cart appeared outside the cell.
The thorns who were locked up together became more energetic, gathered in front of the fence, and attacked these Free Bladers with all the dirty words they could think of.
Claude knew some of the reasons why they did this: to stir up the jailer's emotions and make them unable to help but break in. At that time, they would either kill the jailer and escape, or they would be beaten to death... It would be better than continuing to stay. This dark, ghostly place.
The guards showed dissatisfaction, but no one acted impulsively. They just threw the food into the pen with force.
The steaming bread rolled to his feet, stained with a lot of dirt. Claude picked it up and found that it was no longer the black bread from the previous few days.
What's going on? Claude quietly finished the bread with doubts and took out the letter in his arms.
"Are you going to write a diary again?" A guy saw that the jailer was ignoring him and started to cause trouble for Claude.
Claude ignored him and continued: "What's the use of writing this? Maybe your hometown has been occupied by the Blade of Freedom and everyone has been killed.
"Asshole, what did you say? ! ”
Claude, who felt his inner turmoil, immediately pounced on the mean-mouthed guy...
The surrounding prisoners screamed strangely, surrounding the two men who were wrestling on the dirty ground.
Soon, the guards came and separated the two men
The prisoners, who were eager to try, regained their composure when they saw the mage following them.
Claude wanted to be a tough guy until the end, but looking at the young faces of the jailers, he asked in a strange way: "Do you know what happened to the Changhu Territory?"
The jailer Hearing this, he showed a weird, complicated expression that was hesitant to speak.
"What's wrong?"
Claude's heart was hanging.
…
Liberty City is peace-loving.
This seems inconsistent with what it is doing, but peace has always been difficult and tortuous, so it is doubly precious and sweet.
The two important border towns of the Rekaner Kingdom, Xing'er City and Ize Bay, fell into the hands of Liberty City one after another. The one with the slowest progress was the Scarlet Witch, who had begun to gain the most.
She is still harassing towns along the west coast and has developed many Free Blade members, but she has not conquered any town yet.
After all, there will be no ratmen emerging from the sea, there is no threat, and with abundant sea resources, the people here can still maintain a pretty good life.
So Annan let the Scarlet Witch continue to harass the west coast, and occasionally do her old job - plundering merchant ships belonging to the Kingdom of Rekaner.
There is no rush to encroach on the kingdom. As the cold winter approaches, more and more people who cannot survive will seek refuge with them. On the other hand, the military minister's defection made Annan prepare to get involved in the new royal capital.
He couldn't wait to see that one day Crowe held a meeting, and the ministers gathered together and discovered each other's identities: "It turns out you are too..."
As a result, Annan's plan happened to coincide with the Si in the east The Rat Men of Thun coincided with each other - Gale said they were trying to take control of the new royal capital.
Annan and the rat man reached into the pocket of the new royal capital at the same time, and then touched each other's hands there.
"Clo is really one of yours...rat?" Annan took the opportunity to ask it.
"I don't know." It is just a gray-haired rat, or a gray-haired rat sent as a spy. It is not qualified to know many secrets.
Maria also didn’t know that only the rat elders of the Council of Elders were qualified to know such important news.
……
The new king didn't even know that they had become a piece of cake, and everyone wanted to take a bite.
King Crow just wants to let the enemies in the territory die in pain, and no one will be left.
Amidst this, a councilor volunteered to come to the royal capital and expressed that he had an idea.
Claude received him, leaning against the throne, lazily staring down at the congressman kneeling in front of the steps.
“You said you have an idea?”
"Your Majesty, I have a way to annihilate the two enemies at the same time."
