The Amber Sword: Act wizard, Dragon and Empire IV
But this can only be called suspicion, and still not evidence. Since Mangrove is willing to venture here, it must have real evidence. Brando thought so, and then asked, "What then?"
"Then the Kirrlutzian mission arrived in Aouine just a week ago." Veronica replied.
"What do you mean?" Brando frowned. The news was not news. An Army Commander of Kirrlutzian and a heir to the throne of the throne disappeared inexplicably during the big bang. In all cases, Kirrlutzian should send an envoy. Come and investigate, it would be strange if you didn't investigate. He didn't know why Veronica would use this to make a fuss, and couldn't help but look at each other suspiciously.
"It looks like this," at this time Mangrove lowered his pipe and slowly replied, "But the problem is that there is an extra person in this mission."
"Excess people?"
"The man is called Donners Bernie and is her Majesty's emissary. Before he left the empire, we learned that he came to Aouine to confirm the death of the eldest son."
Brando seems to be suddenly understood. In other words, someone really wants to confirm that the eldest son already is dead, and this person is likely to be the silver empress, because Viscount Bernie can be regarded as one of her confidants. But he was still a bit cautious, and there was no trivial matter about his throne, especially for an empire. He looked at the two people in front of him, thought carefully before and after, and asked: "The presence of this person is unacceptable. It can only explain one aspect of the problem, after all, the succession of the throne is not a trivial matter for the empire, and it is reasonable to send someone to confirm the death of the heir. "
Veronica glanced at Mangrove, and replied, "That's true, but we still have a witness."
"Who?" Brando froze slightly, thinking that these two people would not have kidnapped the people in the mission to his territory. This is too bold for some. But I did not expect the female Army Commander to ask, "Brando, do you remember the Lizardmen Sword Saint you met in the Spiral Hall?"
"Well," Brando screamed the name. The life and death experience at that time was really impressed for him: "I know this person."
"Do you know it?" Veronica was a little surprised.
Brando nodded: "There aren't many alien Sword Saints. Besides, I have some friendship with the gray fins Naga, and I'm naturally familiar with some of their deadly counterparts. 晌 This person comes from the red ring Lizardmen. The red ring Lizardmen is exactly The servant race of the deep scale Naga, so I know it, its young age is the most famous Warrior in the red ring Lizardmen, and it has been Sword Saint already for decades. "
"It is now locked underground in this hostel."
"What!" Brando is about to jump up again. He thought the guy escaped Flash Sea after already after the explosion, but he unexpectedly became a Veronica's captive. But he suddenly reacted to something and couldn't help but blurt out: "could it be that ..."
Veronica fanned the smoke in front of himself with his hand, and replied: "Brando you must not know, Deep Scale Naga already has formed an alliance with Her Majesty."
"So ...?" A bold idea was taking shape in Brando.
The female Army Commander did not answer. I just nodded my head affirmatively. For his subordinates, discussing these issues was a treason in itself. If they wanted to say that in person, it would be almost the same as rebellion in their feelings. But that's enough. Everything in Brando is logically already. It really turned out that Queen silver sent the assassination of the eldest son Lenarret.
He can't help being a little funny, he originally thought the other party was aimed at himself. But now I really want to be full of loopholes, deep scales Naga Find your last land ally. How could you choose to be like a funeral dog Anlieke He instinctively thought that gray fins Naga Allied with himself, then their deadly opponents naturally also found deadly opponents, but he suddenly realized one's own Some eyes are too limited Aouine One place, the reality is, deep scales Naga Look down on at all Anlieke . What they need is a strategic ally who can support them on land, not to him Brando Find trouble.
In this way, Kirrlutzian is indeed the best choice, and if the Empress silver does have the ambition to unify Vaunde, she does need a partner in the ocean.
Not to mention.出现 Appeared in the Spiral Hall at the time, his first reaction was that the other party came to assassinate one's own, but now there are some problems to come. If deep scale Naga is to deal with itself, then the best choice should be Trentheim. Because Trentheim is based on the sea, although it is said to be his base camp, the so-called master in this base camp is actually only his teacher Mephisto, but the deep scale Naga chose to start in the deep frost forest deep inland. It is said that it is a big trouble for the sea lizard and the Naga family to arrange an assassination plan inland. You must know that there were three masters around Brando, Veronica, Mephisto, and Aloz. These three people are all known to the outside world. Deep scale Naga No news at all.
So I appeared there only for other purposes.
What's the purpose?
Of course, it is impossible to help Anlieke, and SVNaga is not a charity organization. Qianliyu supports the resistance organizations in Aouine. We must know that this resistance organization is related to Origin Association. But if the deep scale Naga already and the Queen silver are allied, it makes sense. The target of the grandmother can only be aimed at the eldest son in Kirrlutzian.
further concluded that this unlucky Lizardmen Sword Saint was probably caught by Veronica when it attacked the eldest son of the emperor. Veronica in history is naturally not a rival to Hagi, but after Faithwind Circle, the strength of female Army Commander grew extremely fast. already far surpassed her from same level in Amber Sword, so I took the old yellow calendar and thought that she was make a move foolproof. In the end, he was caught off guard, and it was normal for him to miss it.
Between a few breaths, Brando came to this full set of conclusions. Since Veronica is so certain, it means that I must have recruited everything. After all, it is not Deathsworn of Kirrlutzian, and it is unlikely to bite and let loose. .
Brando Cross your hands. The first time I seriously thought about whether to agree to the Veronica's request.
At first, he could help Veronica conceal their news of arriving at Trentheim, because as he said, it was just a hand, but this time, he had to think carefully. It is an extremely dangerous thing to involve in the throne battle of an empire. For the supreme power, those noble can do everything, that is to say, his decision may involve the new Trentheim into danger again. Brando does not want to see Kirrlutzian spies appear in the streets of Fir City.
But on the other hand, this is indeed an opportunity.
Although the news of the eldest son of the emperor in Trentheim is leaked, it is likely to anger the empress. But in fact, what if it is not angry, if the silver empress is interested in expansion, then Aouine, which is close to Kirrlutz Empire, will bear the brunt, that is to say, in fact, he will not annoy the other party. All must first face the fury of thunder from the empire, but if this draws the Kirrlutz's military or even some of the secular forces, then the Empress will sacrifice her will, and it may not allow Kirrlutz Empire to split internally, and civil war may not occur.
If that's the case, it would be too exciting, Brando would laugh out loud.
Not to mention Holy Cathedral of Fire, although under the pressure of Dragon Race. But when there is oppression, there is resistance, like Vala, which holds the supreme power of existence. How could he be willing to be ridden on his head all the time, the Queen ruled Kirrlutz Empire for forty years, and he had the patience to swallow for forty years. Seeing that he was about to be liberated, now Dragon Race has come across the bar, which is simply intolerable endure. Brando felt that she could not bear to be in the position of Vala. Although Vala is known as wise, the clay figurine also has three points of nature. If Holy Cathedral is also an impulse, then the Kirrlutz Empire civil war will have seven points.
Brando is silent for a while. After scrutinizing the details inside, he was not good at these conspiracies, so he considered it very slowly. But Veronica and Mangrove didn't seem to be in a hurry. Veronica sat down and took the tea cup and took a sip, and the latter finally filled the shredded tobacco, lit the match and caught fire, took a deep breath, narrowed his eyes, and seemed to enjoy it very much.
The room was a little quiet for a while. Amandina was staring closely at the two people sitting opposite her Thane. She seemed to have heard an extremely ridiculous story, but this story now involves already to all of them, so significant. It was decided that she had no room to speak at all. In fact, she did not dare to speak, and could only wait silently for Brando to make a decision.
Brando finally grows breathed out.
"Apart from keeping Imperial Prince Lenarret in Trentheim, what else do you plan to do?" He asked a question like this.
This already represents a loose attitude. Veronica put down the tea cup, gently let out a sigh, and replied: "Not only His Highness the Crown Prince, Shido and Swordbreaker Knight groups must stay here, otherwise people will be mixed. The news does not go back and leak out. Although they are all student I can trust, but this matter is too big, I do not need to let these youngster bear responsibility.
"Are you going back to the Empire?" Brando heard a hint.
Veronica nodded: "If Shido can't go back, I will go back to the empire alone, because the negligence killed the first successor of the empire and caused the entire Swordbreaker Knight group to collapse. I will definitely take responsibility. But the problem It should be small. The successor to the throne must make all the unexpected preparations for his own experience. This is not without precedent in the history of the empire. My responsibility will only be command, which will not be arbitrarily increased by anger. Otherwise, no one will dare to do things in the future empire. Everyone understands the truth. The more -- does, the more mistakes it makes. "
She glanced at Mangrove: "The three families in the North noble all passed already. The military will try to protect me. I think I may be demoted, but retain the title. Her Majesty needs a trusted Army Commander, which is also us Part of the deal with her, but as long as Lenarret is alive, everything will have a chance in the future. "
Brando has a pity glance at Veronica. This female Army Commander is regarded as an outstanding Army Commander in the history of the empire. It would be a pity to be idle because of the internal transaction of throne replacement. But this is a good thing for Aouine, not to mention there is still a very small hope in his mind: Everyone can see that the Army Commander and his teacher's Mephisto sword may have some unknown stories. If, He said that if the future silver emperor stirs up the storm in the empire, and Veronica has been left idle, maybe Aouine will have an outstanding Duchess in the future.
Veronica is certainly not willing to fight Kirrlutzian. But Aouine is not only an opponent of Kirrlutz, Madara? In history, Veronica and Freya had a period of time apprenticeship. Of course, it was during the best period of relations between the two countries, and if this period of history, the two can re-establish this relationship. And one old and one young Goddess of War appeared on the battlefield of Madara's at the same time.
Brando just feels like thinking.
But he still said, "But haven't the two considered a question. If the situation is not as you expected, if the eldest son of the emperor fails to return to the empire, her queen appointed another heir?" He sat On the sofa, speaking slowly behind the smoke screen covered by clouds and mist, it seemed mysterious. Veronica exchanged a look with Mangrove. From their looks, it can be seen that the two empires Army Commander did not consider this issue, but the answer they gave was:
I still have to bet.
"His Royal Highness agrees?"
Veronica nodded slowly. Brando got it. It should be that Lizardmen Sword Saint19's oral evidence gave them great confidence. Indeed, the red ring Lizardmen has always been nothing to do with Kirrlutzian, and the spheres of influence of the two sides are not intertwined. It is really unnecessary to defile an empire's empress.
Brando lowered his eyelids and groaned for a moment, then he re-raises head, as if determined to say: "Discuss the details."
The female Army Commander's eyes came with a surprise look. Of course, she understands how rare it is for Brando to make this decision, which has nothing to do with him. This youngster makes such a decision, most likely because of their relationship. This made her feel ashamed and moved. Since Faithwind Circle, it seems that she has been helping her with this youngster. As an elder, she has been giving trouble to each other. Thinking of this, Veronica looked at Brando's with a lot of affection, some like a real elder looking at the juniors in his own family.
She sighed, a little ashamed, but didn't know that the whole thing was completely different from what she thought. Before she wants to come. Outstanding talents like Brando can always get a nobility status no matter how the situation changes. Even if he plays for the empire in the future, his status may be higher than today. In her eyes such as noble, the power of the king and regional nobles are separated, the fate of Aouine's is only the fate of the Aouine royal family, and the rise and fall of Aouine's is actually nothing to do with regional nobles like Brando.
The same is true.
But Veronica never dreamed of it. The kingdom of Brando's Aouine is based on the concept of nation. The Lord Count considers the issues from the interests of the entire Aouine's. Therefore, he agreed to this request. In fact, it is a kind of benefit for Trentheim. Good and harmless obstacles, but a more favorable option for the entire kingdom. In the eyes of outsiders, Brando is a big loss, but Brando feels that he is making a lot of money.
Brando certainly noticed a change in Veronica's's attitude at this time, and he was also a bit surprised why this female Army Commander would suddenly be moved into this state, but it was indeed a good opportunity for him. Although already determined to provide political asylum for the Lenarret prince, there are too many details worth scrutinizing, and he must fight for the best compensation for himself.
"I have a request," he said, "the entire Swordbreaker Knight group stays at Trentheim. This is naturally a last resort, but the problem is that this is a Knights, both young and vigorous youngster, and a large number of people, If it is left unattended, I am afraid it will become a hidden danger sooner or later. Besides, Trentheim is not their hometown after all. It is necessary to make these youngster incognito in a place thousands of miles away from their hometown for reasons unrelated to their own vital interests. It's harder for strong men. "
He looked at Veronica and interrupted the other party before he said: "I understand, Ms. Army Commander, you want to say that they are soldier, soldier is obedient to obey orders. But soldier is also a human, not to mention they are taking off Military uniforms, only need a period of time, will forget order and glory, without glory, they will be nothing. "
Veronica couldn't help but shut up after listening to these words. I have to say that Brando made a lot of sense, she did take it for granted. Mangrove also nodded. He has a longer military career and understands the truth of what youngster said. He put down his pipe and replied: "Mr Count is right, so how do you think this problem should be solved? "
"I hope they can take off the Kirrlutz uniform and participate in my army. As long as they remain in the land of Aouine for one day, they should swear allegiance to me and Imperial Prince Lenarret at the same time," Brando replied: "Aouine is going through a drastic change. There is a world for these youngsters. Besides, the army is a huge collective. Even if such a group is integrated into this collective, it is difficult to know the outside world. This can also minimize the news. Risk of leakage. On the contrary, the presence of hundreds of people in any other place may attract the attention of interested people. "
"The most important thing is that these youngster will get the opportunity to exercise on this land, to ensure that when they return to Kirrlutz in the future, you will get a group of ample experience generals, not a group of hateful youngsters that do nothing. One day Imperial Prince Lenarret returns to the empire. These youngsters who have sworn loyalty to him will become his left and right arms. "Brando stopped his brief speech and watched the reactions of the two Army Commanders in front of him.
Mangrove nodded, but Brando was very suspicious that the last word of one's own touched the old soldier, and Veronica hesitated for a moment. Then she said to him seriously: "But you have to assure me that you must protect Well, their each is my favorite student. "
"Just as I protect Freya," Brando replied, "They are comrades in Freya, and they are also my comrades."
Veronica nodded with satisfaction.
"You are a good lobbyist, you can consider working in politics. Dealing with us soldier, you are wronged." Finally Mangrove concluded, he bit his pipe and took a sip of smoke.
Brando has a ecstasy in his heart, and now he has a Gold rank officer group, Kirrlutzian's most outstanding star officer group in the future, and now already is his men. Not to mention whether the future empire will fall into civil war, just such a harvest is enough to make him wake up from his dream.
