Chapter 223, personally lead the team
Although the strategic deployment points that need to be carried out in the Eagle Castle are many and scattered, the return of the banshee team led by the little Banshee Raphael still gives Klose another useful surprise soldier in his hands.
But at this moment, there was a knock on the door of Klose's study.
Opening the door, Klose was surprised to find that it was the old man of the court who had been forcibly left here.
"Your Highness, please allow me to attend this meeting as well, I think my old bones can still help."
It turned out that the Grand Priest of Ova had just gone to see Queen Philip and had placed a divine blessing on her. And the queen also told him about the changes that have taken place in the royal capital these days.
Owa had already sensed something was wrong, but he didn't expect these people to do it so blatantly! What is the difference between kidnapping the queen and controlling the king and usurping the country? It's funny that he used to have a good admiration for the blonde Adam Paladin, and thinks that the young man is a rare talent, which is really ironic when he thinks about it now.
Klose let the old man in and said bluntly: "It's okay, Grand Priest Ova, we are discussing how to return to the royal capital to rescue Your Majesty, and I believe that with your help, this plan will go more smoothly." Lana, so you can get started. β
Klose knew that his genius chancellor of the exchequer must have a relatively complete plan in mind. Well, it's a bit strange to say now that she's Chancellor of the Exchequer. She seems to be in charge of more things now than Huporu.
Lana coughed lightly, cleared her throat, and then pointed to the map and said, "The situation in the royal capital is very critical, and we can slow down the development and construction in the east for a while and focus on the west."
I think Sir Hilberg and his cavalry can be mobilized to fight on the Western Front. In addition, uniting the Silver Lion in the Northern Mists puts pressure on His Highness to put pressure on the Grey Dove's ally, the King of the Seven Seas, and we need to get in touch with those two Princes as soon as possible.
It's just that I personally think that the number of people returning to the royal capital this time should not be too much, but a small number of elites. After all, what we have to do is not to capture the royal capital, but only to deal with those few demons sent by the Holy See to make trouble.
The Praetorian Guard of the royal capital should still be controlled by the king, and the orders they give now are also issued through the king's mouth. Once we have rescued the king, the Praetorian Guards will be on our side.
As for the manpower this time.... I think the pretty Banshee Lady should have one. β
Raphael couldn't help but smile when she heard Lana say that she was beautiful again.
She nodded, patted her chest, and looked like she was wrapped around me. It seems that this little guy likes to be put on a high hat for her, and she is really naΓ―ve.
Lana pointed at the little banshee and smiled, squeezed her eyes and continued, "Miss Diana counts as one~"
Diana, who was standing in the corner of the room, was slightly stunned, and she was about to say something, but she saw Lana raise her hand and press down.
"Of course, I know that Miss Diana will not leave His Highness's side, so what I mean is that this operation will trouble Your Highness to lead the team personally."
"Oh?"
Klose was surprised that Lana would say this, in fact, he originally wanted to lead the team himself. But he was afraid that these people would not let him leave for his own safety, and Klose even thought of several reasons to persuade these people, but he didn't expect that none of them would be used, so Lana brought it up first.
But I saw that the red-haired female military advisor made a gesture at Klose and said: "My Highness~ Of course, this is for your own good~ This is a great opportunity for you to reach into the Praetorian Guard and get close to His Majesty the King!" If His Majesty is unfortunate enough to survive, you will be the only son by his side, what a good opportunity to do your filial piety! β
Klose wiped the fine sweat left on his head, and thought to himself that this Lana is really calculating all the time! Wouldn't her head get tired? I said that I wanted to lead the team to the royal capital, but I didn't have this idea at all.
Because no matter what, Holger III is his own father in this life. Coupled with the fact that this king was good to him, there was no reason why he should not go on this trip himself.
In fact, Klose also knows that there are many benefits to doing this. Although he knew that the female military division was to allow him to obtain more capital in this political earthquake, he still felt strange in his heart. He never thought of taking advantage of the king's son when he was not around to stage some kind of drama of father and son's filial piety.... You just need to have a clear conscience.
After all, when he first came to this world, there were only two people who were good to him. He couldn't help much on Sudy's side, and he had to go there himself on the king's side.
"So Lana, let's get down to business, I just need to bring Raphael and Diana?"
But Lana shook her finger and said, "No, my Highness, the Grand Priest of Ova will also go with you." Besides, the Mistress must stay in the castle, and you and him must have one of you in the castle, you know what I mean? β
When the dark elves heard Lana's name, they couldn't help but blush slightly. She coughed lightly and took the initiative to say, "Hmm... Leave the castle to me, my dear. Go and come back quickly, and stay safe. β
Klose gave Nightbreeze a gentle look and reached out to squeeze the back of the other's slender and smooth hand.
"Don't worry, I'll be back soon."
The intimate feeling between the two of them made the little banshee frown. She seemed to notice a subtle change.
Don't.... This stinky guy has been with the Dark Elves....
Thinking of this, Raphael's talons couldn't help but grip the ground tightly. Sharp nails cut holes in the marble floor.
It's just that everyone is getting down to business, and no one notices her subtle changes.
But after hearing that Lana continued to arrange some personnel with the team, the meeting was announced.
After everyone left, the little banshee sat there with her head bowed, as if she had no intention of getting up.
As he passed by her, Klose seemed to remember something, and said, "That's right, Rafael. I heard that your swimsuit was damaged in the battle, so don't worry, I've got another set for you. β
As he spoke, Klose took out another set of "dead water" swimsuits from his arms and placed them in front of Raphael.
But this time the little banshee didn't show any excited expression, she lowered her head and bit her lip, but two words suddenly popped up: "Thank you." β
Klose scratched his head for some reason, wondering when did this little guy be so polite to him?
But strange to strange, he didn't care. Klose's mind was now full of things on the old king's side, and he didn't think much about the changes in Raphael.
As he walked to the door of Queen Philip's room, Klose saw Jessica coming out of it.
This advisor had been sent to him by the queen before, and it was only natural that the two should meet.
This bespectacled royal sister had red eyes and a red nose, as if she had just cried. I wonder what they said? When the master and servant see each other, they miss each other, right?
Jessica saw Klose hurriedly bow her head and wipe the corners of her eyes. She was very reluctant to show her weak side in front of this highness.
"Seen it?"
Hearing Klose's reason for not coming, Jessica just nodded slightly, then said hello without saying a word, and walked past Klose's side.
The little lord pursed his lips, thinking to himself that he hadn't done anything with this royal sister? It's really hostile to him.
It's just that since Ian came, Jessica has been running to the alchemy lab more and more frequently. It seems that she has finally found an alchemist with similar hobbies to her, probably the two of them have a lot of common topics, right?
Klose shook his head and knocked twice on the door before entering the queen's room.
The queen reclined against a pile of soft pillows, her face flushed a lot, and it seemed that she was not far from being healed by the double healing techniques of the centaur and the Owa High Priest.
Seeing Klose come in, this time Queen Philip did not have the same stiffness as the last time they met.
She nodded at Klose with a little embarrassment: "I heard that you are going to personally lead troops back to the royal capital to rescue Your Majesty?" β
Klose nodded and said, "Yes, although I don't know if I can use it, but you should write a handwritten letter to your precious son." If he can bring reinforcements from the west, I believe it will go more smoothly. Because we don't know how many people came from the Holy See on the other side of the Zoro Sea. β
"Hmm."
The queen agreed, and pen and paper were coming, and wrote a letter to his golden crocodile son on the spot.
The general content of the letter is to write about his own experience, and let him unite Klose and the eldest prince to lead troops to the side of the royal capital Qingjun.
Klose blew on the letter, then folded it and put it away.
Nodding to the queen, Klose turned and walked out of the room.
The men he wanted to bring back to the royal capital this time were all ready, and they were all standing in the hall on the first floor of the castle waiting to leave.
