Release that Witch - Chapter 506

[Chapter 499 Prelude to War]

The royal capital of Graycastle, a mansion with a garden in the inner city.

Since His Royal Highness Roland Wimbledon launched a surprise attack on the palace and destroyed the Palace of the Sky, Thassa’s status has risen. All members of “Pigeon and Top Hat” respect him, and the intelligence organization has truly stabilized.

Except for these few core personnel, Tasa has been able to influence the decision-making of Skeleton Finger after more than half a year of operation, and he is also basically clear about the movements of other mouse organizations-whether it is in the patrol team or in the black street. There are eyeliners he bought, and if they just ask for money, they will get paid. These people don’t care who they work for.

The place that is still impervious to penetration is the upper-class nobles. It is a place that pays attention to family background and title. Just having a golden dragon will not help much. It can often leak into his ears.

For example, the one he heard now.

“Tifeco will send a team of about 500 people to block the Chishui River?” Tasa tapped on the armrest of the chair and said, ”

Is he really planning to do this?” At least half of them are Bloodsail Club mice, this is what the boss himself said. Because he was a fat job, there was an infighting in the gang yesterday, and five or six people were killed or injured.”

“It is indeed a fat job,” the clown whistled, ” Think about it, what are they able to intercept? Merchant ships! What are the consequences of violating the king’s prohibition? Of course the goods are confiscated, and then a large amount of money is extorted! Is there anything better than rats at this kind of thing? Of course… the patrol team is not bad either.”

“Since half of them are rats, I think the other half is the guard of the false king,” Hill Fox said calmly. Eagle-headed boat.”

Tasa couldn’t help frowning, the eagle-headed boat is a kind of inland river warship, with a slender hull, sails and oars, and can travel very fast.

There are raised ram angles below the waterline, and iron hooks are arranged on both sides of the ship’s side. Once they catch up with the target, they can be locked together tightly, making it easier for soldiers on board to jump over to fight. It is difficult for ordinary merchant ships to escape its pursuit.

“So to put together the information, the puppet king plans to send a fleet of 500 people to block the Chishui River, including four warships and more than 200 fully armed guards?” He secretly sighed, “Isn’t that true?” It’s good news.”

Timothy’s plan to block trade routes had been rumored long before the evil moon, but at that time most people believed that he would set up checkpoints near the canal and completely ban trade with the western region. It’s just talk—after all, the lords of Silverlight City and Chishui City would not be happy to see themselves lose a lot of money for nothing because of an inexplicable order. The local lords have black hands to eradicate these checkpoints.

But with four warships, the situation is different. First of all, the other lords have almost no water combat capabilities. The warships can come and go along the Chishui River freely. There is no way to start.

Secondly, this reaction showed Timothy’s determination to deal with the Western Territory—even if it would make him turn against other lords, he insisted on doing so.

Tasa looked at Hill, and the latter nodded at him, seeming to have thought of this, “Tifeco probably won’t set up a fixed checkpoint, but use the Chishui River to attack any caravans he sees. They fight on the water There are pirates at the time, and bandits when they are on the shore. The scale of 500 people is a nightmare for any caravan. In this way, the western border may really be cut off from supplies.”

“I will report this news as soon as possible .

For Your Highness,” Thassa said in a deep voice.

Border Town purchased a large amount of food, clothing, and ore resources last year, and now it has annexed Longsong Fortress. Theoretically, the supplies needed will be further expanded. If the trade line is cut off, it will definitely be a big deal for His Royal Highness. I don’t know if he can solve this difficult matter smoothly.

At this moment, the sound of wings beating came from the garden.

Tasa got up and pushed open the small door in the backyard, a gray falcon rushed into the house like lightning, circled and landed on his shoulder.

Seeing that it was a letter from the Western Territory, all the members of the circus touched their chests and bowed their heads in unison to show their respect.

Tasa took off the note and unfolded it, and quickly scanned the contents of the secret letter, her heart skipped a beat!

“Ha…haha,” he couldn’t help laughing out loud afterwards, even though he knew that as an intelligence officer, he shouldn’t reveal his expression to the outside world, the news was so pleasantly surprised that he couldn’t restrain the emotion in his heart. Yue Yue, “It seems that we don’t have to worry about this matter.”

“His Royal Highness already knows?” Hill asked, looking up.

“No, he’s going to solve this problem fundamentally soon,” he said excitedly in a low voice.

“Fundamentally?” The clown asked puzzled, “You mean…”

“That’s right, His Highness’s first army has already set out, and the target is the capital!” Tasa clenched his fists, “Pull Timothy from the throne The time has come!”

Although he knew that His Highness would launch an operation this year, he did not expect it to be so soon—for reasons of confidentiality, His Highness did not tell him the specific action plan, and he did not know that the offensive was actually scheduled for spring until today. And it just happened to be at the time node of spring plowing.

“I finally… waited until this day,” Hill took a deep breath, and suddenly knelt down on one knee, “If your Highness has any orders, please do so.” The

other five also knelt down, “For the new king! ”

Tasa’s mood was stirred up, UU reading www.

com That’s right, he thought, if Timothy fell, Roland Wimbledon would become the only heir to Graycastle—he would take over the crown and be crowned king, and he might jump into the upper echelons of power, Take a new level that you have never thought of before.

As for the odds of winning this war, whether Timothy could stop His Royal Highness Roland, he didn’t think about it at all.

No one who witnessed the First Army fighting had any doubts about the outcome of the Spring Offensive.

“His Royal Highness’s order is not to approach the west city gate area on the day of the siege, and at the same time, try to restrain the rats to take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos, and restore the post-war order as soon as possible.” Tasa read slowly according to the second half of the secret letter, “Respect for the victims Civilians provide assistance within their capacity, such as medical treatment, accommodation and food supply, and they will be handed over to the First Army after the order is stabilized.”

“That’s it?” Everyone looked at each other, “Don’t we need to trick the city gate into opening, or set fires around to attract the attention of the defenders?”

“This is what His Highness meant,” Tasa said with a smile, putting away the letter.

These orders are indeed His Royal Highness Roland’s style of action, focusing more on the people and order, rather than forcing intelligence personnel to also participate in the battle.

In addition, the order also stated that he did not take Timothy’s resistance in his eyes at all.
