The Amber Sword: Act 440 Consciousness I
In the early morning, dew accumulated overnight rolled off the olive leaves. The frightened bird flew up from the forest, and the sound of horseshoes went from far to near. On the avenue near Magitan Grey Pine Castle, a gray-clothed Knight was rushing away.
The castle lowered the suspension bridge, pulled up the gate, Knight broke into the city gate, then turned over and dismissed the horse, letting the sweat out, handed the mount to the guard, took off the cape, walked up the tower, The letter was given to the clerk sitting there. After the clerical officer verified that the mark was correct, his complexion changed, he stretched out his bell, then got up and pushed the door behind him and hurried out.
The urgent documents were passed between the towers, and soon fell into the waiter's hand. Under the leadership of two female officials, the attendant knocked on the heavy wooden door of the Losargar Palace in Grey Pines Castle.
Several people inside the door stopped talking, and they all looked back here.
"Is it news from Lantolian?" Amandina saw the blue tie on the document rolled into a cylinder in the tray of the housekeeper's hand, his face looked pale, and asked.
"Yes, Ms. Amandina, Her Highness the Princess, it is from the Lantolian urgent news."
Freya looked at Princess Gryphine, half-elven girl's face had an uneasy look on her face, so she went down the stairs and took the tray.
After Levine · Orneson returned to Sifah, the process of unification between North and South already was in fact already put on motion, but the South nobles still had doubts about this. Many people have stated their desire to communicate with the royal family before the Ampere Searl peace talks.
Although White Reed is suspicious of this because Radnor is too close to Golan-Elsen, heretics are becoming increasingly active in this southern province.
But she also understands that the situation in the south of already is tense to a boiling point, and it is necessary to have a royal statement in order to ease the increased tension. Fortunately, Radnor has always had White Lion Guards and existence, and since the end of the second War of Black Rose, Brynhild and her Valkyries have also struggled with this, and it seems to be quite satisfactory.
So after compromise, White Reed asked Freya, who had just returned to China, to accompany Amandina and Princess Gryphine to make the trip to Radnor.
Her Highness the Princess's team set off for a week before Lantolian envoy left Vlada-Pace. It didn't arrive at Radnor until the end of Month of Hibernation. At this time, the local already was around the New Year, but after several baptisms of war, there was no New Year atmosphere.
Southern Territory seems to be worse than expected, just after the end of the year. There was a pagan turmoil in Winomare area, and the news of Lantolian shallow water town was suddenly interrupted, once shifting the direction and attention of White Lion Guards defense to the east.
This aroused the alert of Miss Adviser. Under her claim, Brynhild and her Valkyrie horse riders already moved to the garrison three times in a row. It is now very close to the north of Grey Pines Castle.
However, the tense situation and Lantolian's unsounding news made Princess Gryphine increasingly worried about the safety of her brother Aouine's future king. These days, she has fallen asleep less and less already.
And this urgency document from Lantolian seems to faintly show something, so that the entire high hall of the Losargar Palace is silent.
The air seemed to be perturbed.
Amandina's gaze shifted between that document and Her Highness the Princess. She pursed her lips, thinking something in her heart. Freya supported the tray with both hands and walked back to Her Highness the Princess. Gryphine nodded to her. Although she tried hard to show no signs of undulation, her slightly frowned brow already showed the inner fluctuation.
She picked up the paper and opened the paint. The real secret letter was shaken from it, and only two lines were read, and the hand was shaken slightly, and he unexpectedly overturned the gilded cup on the table.
Bang, the cup rolled down to the ground, all the way ding ding rolled to the foot of Freya, the Valkyrie reached down and reached down to hold it, stopping the sudden noise in the empty hall.
Gryphine has a blank surface, and your head is tilted back almost. Fortunately, Amandina has fast eyes. Rushed to support the former.
"Her Highness the Princess?"
Freya picked up the cup and came to raises head. I saw this scene and couldn't help but be shocked.
"Her Highness the Princess!"
The female officer and housekeeper also exclaimed.
But Amandina sternly reprimanded these people: "Retreat. Inform Priest to come over immediately, remember to control your mouth!"
Miss Adviser is no longer the Bruglas damsel of unknown name. Her head was rolled to the ground at Radnor a few months ago, and her reputation was established here. The housekeepers and female officials did not dare to disobey her orders and immediately retreated. Out.
"Go and see if the door is closed, Freya." Amandina sat down holding pale Her Highness the Princess. Then told him.
Valkyrie understood, she immediately checked if someone was overhearing, then turned around and shook her head.
"Go and inquire." Amandina winked at her.
Freya nodded, and then opened the door and went out.
After Freya left, Amandina asked: "Her Highness the Princess?"
"Halutz he has an accident ..." Princess Gryphine murmured.
"What's going on?"
"Bernice had a rebellion, and the mob occupied the city. The old Archduke of Lantolian army now surrounds the city, but has not invaded the city. Since this letter was sent, Halutz and Ike Duke have lost contact with already for three days. /
"So," Amandina breathed a sigh of relief, at least the worst situation in her imagination hadn't happened yet: "His prince may not really have suffered misfortune, but how did these thugs come, Lantolian is not stationed in a large army Are Highland Knight and Black Tower Wizard also invited to participate in the ceremony? "
"I don't know." At this time, Gryphine finally recovered some of his spirits and seemed slightly calmer. She carefully recalled the contents of the document and then shook her head weakly: "The letter was written by Rogdia Lord Count. According to Highland Knight, the old Duke has not yet figured out the identity of the attacker, which is said to be quite large. The possibility is local pagans, but there are a large number of wizard existence, so the coalition forces of Highland Knight and Lantolian will be attacked and frustrated.
"Duke of Lantolian is really confused. How could a local heretic have such strength, there must be outside forces behind it," Amandina concluded, "when did this happen, Her Highness the Princess?"
"From the time the letter was sent, already has been a week," Princess Gryphine frowned at this time: "Strange, why is this letter delayed for three days on the road, Knight for delivery?"
"We will know soon."
When Miss Adviser raises head comes, her frowning brow seems to reflect the same uneasiness in her heart, but even so, her answer is still determined.
It seems to be to testify to her words, but for a moment, the Freya, also anxious, pushed the door again and walked in. Female Knight slammed the heavy wooden door of Losargar Palace very carefully until the huge maple door made a ‘click’, and the lock springs were fastened to each other.
Freya then turned around and said: "Her Highness the Princess, Amandina, I asked already clearly. This letter was sent to Kurk fortress before being forwarded to Magitan."
"Why the letter from Lantolian to Magitan was forwarded to Kurk Fort," Her Highness the Princess frowned, questioning slightly with dissatisfaction: "Isn't the nearest route between the two places a mountain road through the dwarf ring, Who deliberately delayed it? "
Female Knight shook his head.
"Because its first messenger already died, the unknown army blocked the road north of the Misty Forest, and the Knight who sent the letter broke through their blockade before sending the letter to Kurk, and then sent it to us via Silman Thane Gwen On hand. "
"In fact," Freya frowned, "We might be in trouble, Her Highness the Princess."
Amandina couldn't help but interjected: "Freya, you said that an unknown army was inserted north of Magitan. Are you sure that the messenger is telling the truth?"
"I have confirmed his secret code, the Magic method Correct Lord Thane is used to teach Gwen."
Miss Adviser took a sip of cold air: "But why didn't White Lion Guards know anything?"
"Because the followers of Manowell Origin Association attracted our attention," Freya apparently already cleared up the idea: "So this can only be the army of Archduke of Golan-Elsen, and Southern Legion, in addition to find in Southern Territory No other army of this strength can be produced. "
She thought for a while and said, "This is obviously a premeditated move. The other party may collude with the Lantolian insurgents, and they can order the Origin Association believers in Aouine. More importantly, they can be under our eyes. The hidden march shows that they have at least the help of the local noble. "
Amandina felt that her scalp had exploded, and nobles in the south colluded with each other. This was one of the results she was least willing to see: it almost meant coup and treason.
But now already has no luck. The other side ’s large-scale transfer in Southern Territory is definitely not just as simple as an armed march. When she felt the coldest in her heart, Valhalla's military and administrative forces were completely blinded in this incident. This is by no means an explanation of intelligence oversight.
This can only show that the other party's organization is more efficient and powerful than Valhalla. This may be excusable. After all, the Valhalla information system was only gradually established after the king of Silman Gwen joined, although some Buga people behind it Support, but after all, time is short.
