Release that Witch - Chapter 616

[Chapter 607]

In addition to sending a formal reply letter to Roland Wimbledon, he also wrote a personal letter to Edith.

The letter expresses his thoughts tactfully – the young king has no heir, and if he can develop a better relationship with Roland, he will feel more at ease.

There is no real love in political marriage, or love is not the main character, there is no doubt about this for Pearl of the Northland.

He believes that this is an excellent opportunity, especially since there will be no enfeoffment rights in the future, which means that the king will become the only nobleman in the entire Graycastle, and the queen’s status is naturally extraordinary.

Calvin believed his daughter could read her own mind.

As a result, not only did His Majesty fail to reply, but so did Edith.

“Don’t tell me because you don’t like him,” the Duke poured himself a third cup of black tea, “I haven’t seen you like anyone, and it doesn’t matter at all…Since you used to think about Timothy, why now?” Don’t think about Roland?”

“That’s different, father.”

“What’s the difference, aren’t they all kings?”

Edith closed the notepad, “Tifeco needs a reliable ally in the Northland , or subordinates, and the way of guarantee is marriage. If I disagree, he will kick the Kant family away and support someone who is willing to obey. In other words, if you don’t become queen, the status of the family is in jeopardy, and we I couldn’t do anything. So I could only hold back at that time. If Roland and his Western Region failed completely, then I would follow the rules of the game among nobles and marry into the palace. But… Roland doesn’t need it.”

“What do you mean? ”

“He chose me only because of my ability, not the things behind me…Family, territory, and wealth are not important to him.” The daughter stroked the ends of her drooping hair, “Since nobility and rules are no longer Why should I confine myself to those old rules?”

“Do you know?” She continued, “In the city hall that manages Neverwinter for him, there are only a handful of officials of noble origin— — Most of them come from ordinary civilians, selected after rounds of assessments. I have to admit that they are really bad in most aspects, but at least when they do their jobs, they are not much worse than ordinary nobles.”

“This is His Majesty’s new rule. As long as you can complete the work for him, you don’t have to worry about losing your status. So you should get rid of the old one as soon as possible and adapt to the new policy issued by the city hall, so as not to drag me down.”

“But even so , becoming a queen is not harmful to you,” the duke still didn’t want to give up, “you can still show your abilities and give birth to a prince for him… In this way, the Kant family will become an inseparable ally of the royal family, Your younger brother will be guaranteed in the future.”

“I…” Edith showed rare hesitation, “I’m afraid I can’t do this.”

“Why?”

“Your Majesty Roland…he seems to believe in love “The

duke frowned, “He has someone in mind?”

“Well, witch.”

“What?” He wondered for a moment whether there was something wrong with his ears.

“Scroll said that His Majesty Roland will marry a witch,” Edith said frankly, “Scroll is also a witch who works in the city hall and serves as the Minister of Education.”

“Political marriage?” Calvin could only think The answer, “But it’s too…absurd, witches can’t have offspring!”

“It’s not a political marriage, it’s just because he likes that witch,” she leaned back in her chair, playing with the quill in her hand, “No Wrong, in this future marriage, love will be the protagonist—it sounds unbelievable, but for some reason, after being in contact with him for a month, I believe it.”

“The reason?”

“Feeling,” the daughter raised her lips , “After you meet him, you will understand—he is the least aristocratic nobleman I have ever seen.”

“What about the heir?”

“If you want to solve it, there is always a solution,” Edith said. Shaking his head, “But that’s not what we should care about, and we must not interfere in it.”

Iron Ax led a group of officers to patrol around between staggered trenches.

The trenches are mainly used to avoid the enemy’s spear throwing or other long-range attacks. According to His Majesty’s instructions, they are divided into several roads, each with an interval of 20 to 30 meters. Wooden stakes and barbed wire prevent the enemy from breaking through quickly.

Machine gun forts are set up on both sides of the battlefield, with low bunkers in the front and tall towers in the back, forming a firepower network with high and low matching and intersecting firing angles.

Behind the trench is the artillery position, fifty 12-pound field guns stand side by side, and behind it is the firing area reserved for the 152mm fortress guns.

In order to ensure the progress of the project, Iron Ax specifically applied to His Majesty for the Maixi express transportation, and transported Lian to Yougu Town in advance.

Just looking at this position with hidden murderous intentions, the commander of the First Army felt that the victory was half won.

A group of people came to the end of the position and looked at the gray-brown mountains in the distance.

This place is located at the foot of the big gap in the Impassable Mountain Range, and it is also the only way to go down the mountain. Less than a mile ahead is the steep Impassable Mountain Range.

Cold Wind Ridge is located halfway up the mountain.

Its strategic significance is similar to that of Frontier Town, and it was mainly established to monitor Hermes. Once the beacon fire is lit in the city, many villages in the Northland and the nearest Glen Town can see the early warning.

It takes a day and a half to reach the ambush site from Cold Wind Ridge, so the First Army has plenty of time to prepare for the enemy.

“Can’t we really evacuate all the townspeople from Cold Wind Ridge in advance?” Bryan, who followed him and was familiar with the battlefield, couldn’t help but ask, “The Holy City might turn them into the first batch of maddened attacking frontlines.” ”

That would alert the enemy, we can’t take this risk until all the positions are set up,” Iron Ax replied blankly, “Cold Wind Ridge is too close to the Holy City, so it can only be used as a bait, and Not the main battlefield.”

“And no one will listen to us,” Faner added on the side, “Think about it, someone ran into the town and told the local people that the war is about to start, you run away from this place, go to At the foot of the mountain… who will believe it? Unless something is forced to force them to leave. If we do this, the Holy City will immediately be able to see our intentions.”

Bryan sighed, “I understand this too, but…”

“Don’t worry, the encirclement of the position will be completed in three days,” Iron Ax said in a deep voice, “At that time, we will be able to notify the people of Cold Wind Ridge to evacuate Yes. According to the information sent back by the spies, the large forces of the Holy City are still stationed in the camp, and we should have plenty of time to clear the town.”

“I hope—” Brian suddenly widened his eyes, “Wait, then What is it?”

Iron Ax followed his line of sight to the distant mountains, his heart sank slightly.

I saw a wisp of black smoke slowly rising from behind the mountain, like a black line in the gray sky.
