The Amber Sword - 984. Chapter 984 Act One Hundred and Four

After clarifying her thoughts, Faina understood her situation. In the past week, the change in the time of the sun setting proved that they were traveling north, and she heard the sound of Haitao several times in Metz and Changqing aisle. There are several mountain roads near the sea, which proves that the convoy is also going west. It is very likely that the convoy is passing through several provinces distributed along the lofty inland sea west of Huaye Ling, heading to the port there, and taking a boat to the imperial capital.

Day after day passed, life in the dark was enough to drive a normal person crazy, not to mention that she still had a huge fear buried in her heart, most of the time she bent her feet and buried her head on her knees. Huddled himself in the corner of the prison car with both hands, as if this would make him feel a little safer. One day ago, the convoy stopped briefly in a small town on the terrace east of Port Fattan, Naka. During the stay, she figured out where she was. The guard revealed that the convoy was heading to the Evergreen corridor. The west end is also the starting point of East Metz-Fatan.

Earlier in the day, she could clearly hear the sound of the sea scouring the cliff. She had walked this mountain road more than once, but at that time she had come here as the daughter of the duke. Faina leaned weakly against the cold iron wall, strands of golden hair hanging from her pale face and cheeks, her eyelids drooping weakly, her thick eyelashes trembling slightly, and the sound of seagulls from outside the prison car. What is strange is that the road is a bit deserted, and there is no sound of caravans passing by. In theory, this should be an important land and sea hub in East Metz. Business travel is endless on weekdays, or Rodney did not intend to go to Fattan Port , But they have established a secret anchorage near here.

Suddenly the girl was a little bit creepy, and these people were actually cautious to this point.

But the fact is not the case. The sun has just dispersed the fog between the straits, but a thin layer of water vapor is enveloped on the cliffs of the sea. A pass lies between these misty water vapors. Rodney quickly stopped the convoy. Down, looked up at the soldiers with anchor-shaped emblems on the battle robes on the city wall. This pass built on the mountain and close to the sea is the outermost line of defense in Port Fattan, but on weekdays its gates are rarely lowered. Today it is rare and tightly closed.

“It seems that the war caused by your majesty has affected this side.” Rodney thought to himself that news of the civil war has not reached these areas east of Metz, but as the queen’s emissary, he has First-hand news. He raised his head and shouted, “Quickly open the door!”

“Who are you?” The soldier above the tower poked his head and asked below.

“We are members of the White Legion. Our adults have urgent military affairs to go to Fattan Harbor. I have sent someone to inform you earlier. Haven’t you seen them?” The knight beside Rodney asked angrily. .

There was a commotion among the soldiers on the tower, as if they were looking at them to confirm their identities. This scene made Rodney even more confirm his thoughts-these guys are not so loyal to their duties on weekdays. Most of the so-called inspections are to cope with them, or to take advantage of the opportunity to fish. Points of benefit. After a while, the people on the tower seemed to confirm the identity of Rodney, after all, all the servants Rodney accompanied were genuine White Legion knights. Underneath were the tall mountain dragons and the earth dragons. Also wearing a special armor with gleaming silver scales, a battle flag with the emblem of a white dragon hung on the saddle.

Soon, the city gate creaked up.

In the darkness, Faina felt the cage sway slightly, and the convoy began to move forward again. She didn’t know what was going on in the east, and she was a little strange in her heart. Didn’t these people take themselves to the secret port? Why are there still related passes and city gates? Even Fattan Port does not have such strict precautions.

Brando, Eunice, Roman, and Charles were condescendingly on the observation deck watching the team pass the suspension bridge and through the city gate. Brando pointed to the knight in the front and introduced to the other three: “That person is Rodney, Veronica’s younger brother, and the youngest son of Duke Erice. That’s it, after Ms. Veronica was placed under house arrest by the Silver Queen, this person won the Queen’s favor by drawing a clear line from her own family. Now she is her majesty’s secret envoy.”

“Eric’s family are all heroes, but I didn’t expect to have such a thing.” The Duke’s daughter wrinkled her nose in disdain.

“You can’t say that. This guy’s ability to judge the situation, righteousness and extermination can still be seen. Use the best of everything,” Charles replied with a grin, “Lord Lord seems to be familiar with this person?”

Brando is noncommittal on this question. In fact, as a player of Eruin, he is quite familiar with the well-known characters in the “enemy”, but he is familiar with this person not only for this reason, but Rodney in history As Charles said, he is famous for being good at seeing the wind and making the rudder. His reputation has made him a good fish in the upper aristocratic circle of the empire. At the time, he was called the Erichko family double bi, and he and his sister Veronica were praised as The backbone of the Erichko family, who knows that this man is a complete boneless man, in the April 11th War, Madara’s army surrounded the White Eagle Fort (located in today’s Ludwig), and he did not fight. And descended, Kaicheng offered the enemy, and almost the entire army of the White Legion was destroyed. This is a famous scandal in the history of the empire. Because of this incident, the Erichko family’s prestige plummeted, and even Veronica was implicated in him and was removed. The post of commander of the legion.

Therefore, for this famous traitor, it is very difficult for players from later generations to be unfamiliar with his deeds.

But this kind of weak and incompetent guy is a model for his teammates, but it is really lucky to be an enemy. Fortunately, this guy is not well-known now. It is estimated that even the Silver Queen does not know the virtue of her newly dispatched emissary. The misfortune of the enemy is her own great fortune. Brando thought that Shire had a word that was true. That’s right, if used properly, this is not only a big fish, but also a fat and oily big fish.

“It looks quite human, it’s only a little bit worse than my Brando.” The merchant lady looked at the problem from a different angle than ordinary people, and she squinted for a while before she came to the following conclusion. “Cough, cough, cough!” Brando almost choked to death by these words. What does it mean to look like a dog? The Erico family has excellent genes. His sister Veronica was a famous beauty in the imperial capital when she was young. Rodney himself inherited this line perfectly. He is one of the most famous little white faces in the empire. He is also a master pick-up girl. It is said that he has an unclear relationship with many celebrities in the imperial capital. In theory, Brando is quite self-aware, knowing that even if he shoots a horse, he can’t catch up with the other party, it is estimated that Roman can speak such words without embarrassment.

He looked at the two left and right with no anger, and he saw that the Duke’s daughter looked at this side with a weird face, and the unscrupulous wizard attendant was holding back a very hard smile.

“Laugh as you want, and be careful to suppress internal injuries.” Brando said lightly.

“That’s not necessary, hehehe, Lord Lord,” Charles said with a smile: “There are still people below, so it wouldn’t be good to get their attention.”

At last, Euni was stern in her family education, and quickly calmed her emotions. She clenched a fist to her mouth and coughed slightly: “I heard that Her Majesty the Queen sent him to monitor the White Legion. Why did she suddenly appear in this place, the cage? Who is inside?”

“In a word,” Charles laughed: “There is a mermaid inside.”

“Mermaid?” The Duke’s daughter frowned.

“That’s just a metaphor. The little beauty in the cage can actually be regarded as Lord Lord’s old look — wow!” Charles screamed, and a sideways avoiding the sword that Brando had hacked: “Lord Lord, you Actually, those guys are still underneath…”

“Shut up.” Brando replied coldly.

In fact, at the first glance he saw Rodney, he had already guessed who the escort in the prison car was. Faina wrote her a reply, and the reply clearly showed her next In fact, Brando had long expected that she might be in trouble. The daughter still took the problem too simple. Since the Silver Queen had placed Veronica under house arrest and chose to support Rodney as Erichko The next Patriarch of the family has already explained a lot of problems. How could Rodney look to his sister’s face to help her, not to mention that this person himself is a downright villain.

It’s a pity that he didn’t have time to reply even if he replied, but he didn’t expect Rodney to get into his own snare after he caught Faina. In fact, Brando also blamed Faina. The Silver Queen’s information blockade on the east and north was much stricter than on the south, so he learned some information that Faina did not actually get the first hand. The news, it seems that she didn’t know the conflict of interests between the Erichko family and the Silver Queen at the time.

Brando silently watched the carriage pass through the pass and enter the port range, with an imperceptible anger in his heart.

In any case, what Rodney did has touched his bottom line.

…

The carriage finally got on the boat, and Rodney was finally relieved looking at the bustling scene in the dock before him. In fact, he is very clear about his identity and ability. He is no better than his sister, and he is not even better than others. He is not an opponent of those military aristocrats in the north. In this reasonable position as the minister. Now that he has set his position, he has to help his majesty finish some things under the table, not only to do it, but also to do it well, without leaving a tail, just like what he did this time. Of course knowing that he will offend a large group of nobles, but it is better for him to be a villain, at least than his majesty as a villain, because his majesty will remember his credit.

As for the nobles who have passed their anger, they should be offended if they are offended. He is very clear about what Her Majesty wants to do. It is no less than four sages-no, it should be far better than the sages. The great deeds of those decaying and ancient nobles, let them become ashes in the new flame.

Including the Erice family, it’s the same.

Rodney said to himself in his heart that he had no complaints about what he had done. It was only natural that there was something to offer.

Thinking of this, he turned his head and glanced at the prisoner vehicle that was about to be transferred to the bottom deck. He knew very well the value of the young lady in the cage-although Your Majesty had already started in advance, he built a new one on the ruins of the Temple of Flame. The doctrine, but after all, she is not trying to overthrow the entire empire. Although the double-minded nobles in the north have been proved to be completely unreliable, but there are more nobles on the sidelines. Your Majesty has personally told him about the Eastern Metz How important these nobles are, if they turn to Protestantism, then Ludwig’s old stubborn will be embarrassed on all sides, not to mention that East Metz is still the main road to the Alkhash Mountains.

Although it is not clear why Her Majesty the Queen places so much importance on the Alka area, to enter the Alka area, East Metz must be in his hands.

Among them, the most important piece is the flower-leaf collar.

The principal of the Mosaic Collar today is the Duke of Mosaic Helix. This man is a hardliner and is emotionally biased towards Ludwig’s aristocratic lords. He had lived in Erichko’s house for quite a while when he was young. For a period of time, he had a deep relationship with the former Duke Erichko, so it is absolutely impossible for this person to favor Her Majesty. The two sons of Duke Huaye are also representatives of military nobles, and the stubborn local faction is not worthy of trust. In the end, the daughter of Duke Huaye, the eldest daughter Faina was extremely rebellious, and she was also a disciple of the Blue Sword Saint. These people were not suitable candidates. Now the Duke and his two sons have been placed under house arrest. Miss Qian Jin was escorted back to the imperial capital in secret. The remaining little princess was called the “little angel with flower leaf collar”. She was cowardly and obedient since she was a child. With her father, brother and sister as hostages, she was not afraid of being disobedient.

Once the Huaye collar fell to the queen, East Metz has basically been calmed down, and the remaining lords with weaker powers will probably not wait and see anymore.

As for the return of the Miner people–

Rodney was a little bit disdainful. This was nothing. This world originally belonged to the Miner people. The people of Dark Iron had just stolen the power. Her Majesty the Queen was doing the right thing, about to put the power back to the right place. And she will be crowned as the Dragon of Darkness as the Cruze. At that time, the empire that rules the entire land will reappear, and the Cruze will be on the same level as the Miner. It is ridiculous that some people still don’t understand.

This is a just cause.

Faina felt cold and hungry.

In the past two days, she felt that the surveillance of the prison wagons by outsiders became more and more tight. In the past few days, she still had time to breathe every day, but in the past two days, people outside rarely opened the doors of the prison wagons and even delivered food. The frequency of drinking and drinking has been reduced, only once a day in the evening, which made her feel aggrieved and scared. In fact, Faina faintly understood in her heart that this was because they were almost at their destination. This is how people are. Whenever a thing tends to be completed, in order to avoid falling short of success, she will become more nervous and her attention will become more and more intense. High concentration, and this also shows that she is not far from facing her own destiny.

This thought made her hesitate.

She didn’t know what she would face, whether she was directly executed secretly, she was taken as a hostage, or she was used as a pawn for a political marriage. She had heard a lot about this in the past, but she was not the protagonist. She just felt a little scary. But today she felt a great anxiety grabbing her and making her unable to breathe. She seemed to see an abyss leading to darkness, a road filled with blood and despair before her.

Faina shivered and snuggled against the cold iron wall, and those past fragments played back repeatedly in her mind. At that time, she was still the princess with the flower-leaf collar high above, and she was favored by her father and her majesty, no matter where she was, She was the center of everyone around her, and then she became a student of Veronica, went to many places with her teacher, once breathed the air of freedom, and could no longer live in a cage. She once thought She is not the same as the noble ladies who are like canaries. They are weak and can only accept the fate arranged by others, but like a young eagle, she can choose her own future.

The facts proved her innocence, all fantasies vanished, she felt as if she was deceived by hope, and then was ruthlessly abandoned.

Tears fell on the floor like broken beads, and the young lady cried helplessly.

While crying, Faina remembered the days when she was in the ring of trade winds. It was the first time she left the empire to take an adventure. She once thought it was the most terrible encounter in her life-a terrible one. The hillbilly, not only lost her face, but even tried to teach her several times. Even the commander of the army had nothing to do with him-but the experience at that time was not worth mentioning compared with the present, and I recall it now. There is also a faint feeling of warmth.

“If only I could go back to that time—”

Faina was quickly taken aback by her own thoughts, and then fell into lamenting about the current predicament.

“Brando…Brando…”

Faina has a fever, her hot forehead is against the cold iron wall, her mind can’t help thinking wildly, as if these wild thoughts can resolve the worries in her heart. She suddenly remembered that Brando had already arrived in the empire, and he was not close at hand, but he would definitely not know the situation he was facing right now. He might still want to help him and rescue his men. But the daughter of the Duke, who was once aloof, can’t even guarantee himself at the moment, and his future and destiny have become unknowable. Maybe he will die tomorrow, or he may live by himself. Life is better than death.

When I thought that I might die in such an unknown name, the guy might not know his death. Perhaps after many years, the guy finally remembered himself and thought:’Oh, that guy named Faina Young girl, I had an adventure with her when I was young, but it’s a pity that I haven’t heard about her for a long time. ‘

Faina felt like a knife twisted at the thought of such a thing, and her eyes became gloomy.

Brando soon got the news that Rodney’s ship had left the port. As he expected, this guy didn’t even see Baron Metz in order to keep it secret. It’s a skill to be cautious at this point. . This also allowed this guy to escape, otherwise Brando would order to close the net as soon as they entered the castle, and Rodney would not be able to fly out even with his wings. At the moment, only a backup plan can be used to allow the fleet staying in the open sea to block Rodney’s ship.

It’s not that he has never considered detaining the opponent in the port, but he has just taken over the port and has not yet dispelled the suspicion of the middle and lower-level officials in the port. The earl hadn’t decided yet to completely stand on the opposite side of the Silver Queen. At this critical moment, Brando had to arrange the battlefield to the sea for fear of stunned by the grass.

But he was not afraid that Rodney would be able to run away.

The battleship Rodney prepared was one of the few clippers in the Imperial Navy, but it was a pity that such a conspicuous battleship was docked in the harbor. It was hard not to notice when the Eruins took over the harbor. This conspicuous warship report was sent to the Shire-naval warships rarely act alone, especially when this kind of clippers are generally used to transmit information or perform special tasks-they quickly found out about the Rodneys. The clues of the messenger going to Fattan Port, in fact, it was through this method that they learned about the team.

Therefore, Brando had long arranged for people to work on this ship, replacing the quality of the magic crystal used as the power source of the floating battleship, and also removed some spare sails. Rodney was eager to leave the port, and he did not check carefully— In fact, I didn’t expect to check, because the warship has been docked in the port, who would be troubled by the Imperial Navy if there is nothing wrong with it? And all this has already doomed his end.

The three Buja floating warships with red sails disguised as imperial patrol ships left the port early, waiting for the arrival of Rodney’s ship in the open sea.
