The Amber Sword - 924. Chapter 924 Act Seventy-Nine Empire and Queen

It stands to reason that these two are both cronies of the Silver Queen, and a little miss is not enough to make them so scared, but just two days ago—to be exact, two nights ago, the empire suddenly lost the Fortress of Parsilian. Connection-anyone who is still a little sane understands what this means. Bad premonitions are often the most effective. In the next twenty-four hours, bad news floats like snowflakes——

First, the Pegasus knights of Asaph’s imperial garrison detected the movements of a large army in the Bear Lake area, and then another scout cavalry detected another army in Yongyin Valley further south.

Twenty-seven hours later, Vargos, Hemlock Town, and Linye Avenue were confirmed to be lost.

Twenty-nine hours later, the twin towns of Nafir and Talis in the north of the Bear Lake area were in a hurry, and traces of unfamiliar troops were found outside of Greystone Town, a city in the lower reaches of the Yinhe River.

Thirty-four hours later, the South Town of Twin Towns fell into the ground, and two hours later, the North Town fell into the ground.

Thirty-seven hours later, an imperial guard post on the edge of the Boot Woodland received some of the remnants from the south. Among them, Baron Piris of the Cooper family was found.

Forty-four hours later, the town of Greystone was besieged.

In the next half an hour, the cavalry of the Claw Claw Fortress finally brought back the definitive news. The Persilian Fortress had been lost, and a large-scale Qiaogendigaan army was attacking along the eastern branch of the Broken Sword Mountains towards the direction of Fort Elnor. , The empire’s fortress army is retreating steadily.

Fifteen minutes ago, Russef confirmed his loss. The Pegasus knight flew over the city and observed that the city was suspected of being bombarded by spells exceeding the twelfth ring. No one in the city survived.

Qiao Gendigang launched an invasion of the empire, most of Andzlova’s fall, the evergreen aisle was at stake, and the Rokozy-Broken Sword Mountain fortress group also turned into stars crumbling in the sky.

As if in an instant, terrible news spread like wildfire, centering on the White Rose Garden, spreading across the entire imperial capital like a plague—the news followed the knight on the horse leaving the Palace of San Contepe and entering Going to the residences of the most prominent figures in the dukes, earls, imperial troops, knights, and temples, it is like a spark splashing into the oil pool, lighting up the manors, under the arch windows, on the attic, and the nobles. In the private room, the candles were lit, and then there were figures dressed in plain clothes, covering their heads and faces, walked out from the back door, walked through the streets, and entered the homes of nobles, large and small.

The people under the servants then made their debut. They hurriedly left their master’s mansion, drove a carriage, or just rely on their legs, to the thousands of unknown corners of the city; One person passed the next person, and the next person boarded the carriage and walked along the street to the 22 gates of Rušta. Before dawn, there were countless carriages leaving the city, rushing to the empire. Direction-some of them went to the countryside, some went to the castle, some went to the pier, and the news of the war spread with them on the territory of the empire, riding the wind and breaking the waves.

This is what happened in the forty-eight hours before Mr. Travis Bernie and Mr. Kevin de St. Varia, the dragoon captain, walked into the White Rose.

At this moment, in front of Constance, the dragoon leader seemed a little sensible, and Mr. Travis almost shivered. The former was responsible for the promotion and assessment of the knights of the inner court, while he was mainly responsible for intelligence collection and monitoring. Obviously, the leaks are to be counted on his head. The knight commander tremblingly explained to the supreme of the empire before him, but what Constance needed was not an explanation, but an answer.

The Queen’s study is not the only two of them. The leading figures of the empire have already gathered at this moment. Standing in the forefront, you can see Marquis Nigel, the commander of the White Legion, and Bandyron, who is closely related to the Imperial Navy. The Earl, Downers, Little Nidven, the parents of the Cecil family, the current commander of the Blue Legion, Lord Rodney and Grand Duke Helix, behind them there are some nobles from other families, and most of them are On weekdays, the close ministers around His Majesty, plus the envoys of the Temple of Flame, these people are roughly divided into three camps. The nobles who are close to the Parut family are obviously gloomy, while the nobles of the Cecil family and the military are mostly Looking at this scene with a smile, the last group of people, headed by Grand Duke Helix and Prime Minister Niederwen, had a stern face without any expression on their faces.

As for Her Majesty herself, Her Majesty’s expression is as usual. There is neither a trace of anger in her eyes nor a trace of peace, but anyone who has a little understanding of the empire’s supreme will understand that it is often in this state. She is the most terrible.

After a while, Constance finally spoke.

She glanced at the two of them-although Her Majesty’s appearance was still a girl, but her calm eyes showed that her Majesty’s city was coming-she said coldly: “This is the second time, my dear The Palut family, as well as your southern aristocrats, have performed in recent times and are really not worthy of your status. Mr. Head, whether you are or your brother, I am really disappointed. You don’t say a word, are you waiting for me to speak?”

Hearing this sentence, most of the nobles of the Cecil family were gloating, while the soldiers took the look of watching the show. Only Nedvin frowned. In his memory, the Queen rarely spoke. So clearly express his attitude-but this is the third time in recent times, whether it is the reprimand of the Cecil family in the Palace of San Contepe, or the reprimand of Palut in the White Rose Garden The rebuke, and her attitude at the moment, made him feel weird inside and out.

But in Niederven’s eyes, it’s just weird, but Donners has already changed his face. The thunder anger from the throne is so terrible that it can’t help making people tremble. He gritted his teeth. Did not dare to speak at all.

Travis almost shook. Although His Majesty said the words’Dear’, his face was almost blue when he heard it. After wandering inside and out, he had to answer respectfully: “Don’t dare ,His Majesty.”

“Then tell me, to the west of Crimson Claw Fortress, what are the movements of the Lions in Toquinine?”

“No action, Your Majesty.” Travis quickly wiped his sweat and replied.

“Where are the elves of the Four Realms?”

This time it was Nigel, the commander of the White Legion, who shook his head: “There is no action, but the elves should not have received any news yet, otherwise they will not give up this opportunity.”

“In other words, at least Qiao Genjigang has nothing to do with the Wind Elf?” Constance asked.

When she asked this question, she frowned slightly, as if she was thinking about something, but she faintly felt that her majesty’s mind did not seem to be above what was happening right now.

Like Prime Minister Nidevin, Nigel seemed to have noticed this, but this doubt only flashed through his mind, and then he shook his head: “It shouldn’t be.”

“Where are the Lions of Toquinine?”

“The Lions should be waiting for news. As long as the army of Qiaogendigang arrives at Fort Elnor, they will do it.” Little Nidven looked at Her Majesty the Queen and finally said.

“How big is Qiao Gendigang’s army?” Constance glanced at the young master, then looked away and put pressure on Travis.

The latter was sweating profusely, “Your Majesty, this is still unclear, but they should have at least two legions in Andzlova.”

The Silver Queen was silent, as if calculating something.

Little Nidevin pondered for a moment, and then said: “It is very likely that the underground kings have already taken action, otherwise at least half of Qiaogen’s lord will be dispatched to reach this scale.”

“Their target is Asaph,” Constance came back to his senses: “Then, do we have any countermeasures now, and what are the troops in Andzlova now?”

“Originally, we could also mobilize Anzeruta’s army, but now…” Little Nidven said halfway, and then looked at Downers in the crowd. The latter’s complexion sank, and the prime minister was immediately taken into his heart. The adult scolded him half to death. Of course he understood the meaning of this sentence. In addition to the aborigines, the local army stationed there is mainly in the hands of Count Jin and Count Alcons, but this part of the army Earlier, it had been mobilized and supplemented the Pasilian Fortress. As for the remaining aristocratic army, not to mention everyone who was present also understood that they went there.

He hurried out and replied: “Your Majesty, Anzeruta’s army has long been added to the Rokozy-Broken Sword Mountain Fortress group. The remaining militia and local defense forces are simply unusable. Was defeated by the rebellious Earl Tonigel.”

“It seems that it is still a very glorious thing in Mr. Downers’ eyes to be played around by the Eruin.” Duke Cecil sneered.

The latter’s face was white and red, but he did not dare to speak back, because the empire’s supreme was obviously unkind at the moment, and he was obviously very dissatisfied with him.

Constance’s face returned to the same indifferent look: “Then where is my nearest army?”

“The two Pegasus cavalry regiments of the White Legion are stationed in the Violet Valley, Your Majesty.” Marquis Nigel replied immediately.

“Is it time?”

The former shook his head: “To support Asaph, you must cross the Evergreen Walkway. Unless Greystone Town can last for at least forty-eight hours, we are unlikely to have time.”

Constance glanced at his courtiers with teasing eyes: “In other words, we have to abandon the Andzlova region? Or if Rokozy-Broken Sword Mountain fortress group falls, the largest in the history of the empire Shame, do you mean let me bear it?”

There was silence in the room.

The Silver Queen looked at these courtiers and sneered coldly: “Donners, go and inform Duke Parut, the bottom line I give you is to keep Rokozy-Broken Sword Mountain fortress group. If you connect this If you can’t do it at all, it means that you are not qualified to manage this land. At that time, let the White Army take over the defense from Anzeruta to the Evergreen Passage.”

Constance’s voice was not high, but it was like a thunder falling in the crowd. Everyone’s eyes fell on the Queen’s long-time favored subject in an instant. There were surprises, doubts, and curiosity in their eyes. , Also contains a variety of emotions such as sympathy, cringe, gloating, etc. Almost everyone present is an old fox who has been up and down in this imperial power center, and naturally understands the weight contained in this sentence.

Your Majesty has moved real fire this time.

Tangnas shook his body and almost fainted. He looked palely at the supreme man of the empire in front of him, but did not dare to complain at all. He hurriedly bowed and said, “I understand.”

Then he separated the crowd in despair and walked out of the study.

In the study, there was only Travis who was trembling, but Constance didn’t even bother to look at him, and with a stroke of his sleeves, she left the room accompanied by the maid.

When Rodney left the White Rose Garden with the other nobles, he deliberately fell behind by one step and kept up with Grand Duke Helix behind. The latter was about to board the carriage, and noticed the movements of the new parent of the Ashrico family, before turning around and asking: “My Lord, what can you advise?”

Rodney smiled bitterly: “Your lord has just laughed. I want to ask your lord what he thinks of your majesty’s words just now?”

Hearing these words, the Duke’s boarding movement stopped. He simply retracted his feet and looked at the other party with a slightly dignified expression: “What do you think, Lord Earl?”

“Your Majesty has relaxed the surveillance of the military on the surface in recent days, but secretly suppressed us more and more severely. I thought she would take the opportunity to support the Palut family, but I didn’t expect…”

Grand Duke Helix shook his head: “Your Majesty’s character has become more and more withdrawn recently, and the Palut family has not been allowed to favor her for a while…”

Rodney seemed to think of something: “Since that incident…”

Grand Duke Helix glanced at him vigilantly: “Shut up, these are not things that you and I should discuss, Rodney, because of the fact that your father and I are family friends, let me remind you, while there is still Opportunity, go back to your family’s territory.”

Rodney was startled slightly: “My lord, you?”

The Duke nodded: “Within a week, I will leave the capital and return to Huaye Ling.”

Rodney looked at him in surprise. Leaving the royal capital at this time was equivalent to declaring that he had left the center of imperial power. For aristocrats of their level, it was almost unthinkable.

The old prince shook his head: “Little Rodney, in the storm 40 years ago, when you were young, I witnessed it with my own eyes. I don’t want to experience the things at that time anymore; well, I will say it all here. These are all told to you based on the relationship between our two generations. After you listen, you will believe it. If you don’t believe it, don’t pass it to other people. Try it for yourself.”

After speaking, he waved his hand to the latter and boarded the carriage, leaving only Rodney standing there, watching the carriage slide into the darkness thoughtfully.

But in the end, the latter smiled slightly and shook his head.

…

Bettysha slipped into the room quietly, then turned the door shut, she turned around again, looked around in the dark room, as if looking for something.

At this time, a voice came: “Betisa, are you back?”

The round-faced mountain servant maid was obviously taken aback, and then she recognized that it was the voice of Lord Earl, and she was relieved. Although she hadn’t found where Akane was in the house, she nodded quickly.

After a while, as if there was a moment of silence, the voice asked again: “How about it, is it true?”

“It’s all true, Lord Earl, the spread is so powerful that it is said that the empire was defeated in the south, and now both Anzlowa and Rokozi are in danger,” she thought for a while, as if recalling something. Then he replied vaguely, “But it’s a little strange. This time it’s neither the Lion Man nor the Wind Elf of St. Ossor, but the army of Qiao’s roots. I’ve never even heard of it. that place.”

“Qiao Gendigang?” Qian was stunned, and suddenly remembered the cavemen led by the firs. She was silent for a while, and her thoughts for Eruin grew stronger. With a squeak, she opened the window, and Betisa realized that her lord was actually standing by the window, and the other party was holding the emerald spear, staring out the window in a daze. She couldn’t help frowning, thinking that her heart was ill again.

After a while, Akane turned her head back. She seemed to think of something and called out: “Betisa, Betisa.”

“I’m here, Lord Earl.” Betty Shah replied hastily.

“How far is Anzlova and you said last time that Russef is?” the mountain girl asked in a low voice.

Bettysha opened her mouth and gave a chuckle in her heart, but she couldn’t say anything else.

Qian’s bright eyes stared at him: “Lord Lord, is he there?”

Of course Bettysha knows who the’lord lord’ in her mouth is, but she can’t help but cry secretly at this moment, thinking that she has nothing to do to help the Lord Earl to find out what news, the other party’s true purpose turned out to be here, but As a maid, she didn’t dare to lie, so she nodded honestly. Before she hit her head for the second time, she felt her Lord Earl approached her with a stride, grabbed her by the shoulder, and asked hurriedly: “Where is he? What is the army of Qiaogenjigan now? Place, is he in danger?”

Bettysha almost screamed in fright. She shook her head with a pale face. How could she know these things as a servant girl? There was a lot of information about these things, but none of them were reliable, and at best they could only understand. That’s about it.

But she knew that if she said that, the Lord Earl might not be able to sleep well these days, so she had to persuade her: “Lord Earl, that… the lord of the Tonigal people, might have left Ainz long ago. Lowa, if he takes a boat from Ruen, he will be able to reach Banker in a short time. Maybe he is already on the lofty sea by this time.”

Akane seemed to have really heard these words. She relaxed, glanced at her maid, and nodded: “Thank you, Bettysha.”

“Master Earl, this is what I should do.”

Betty Sha said and prayed in her heart, thinking that Martha would bless her, so that Lord Earl’s illness could get better soon, and don’t always be so mad about it.
