Game of Thrones: From Lord Elden to Young Wolf - Chapter 205
c203 War is about to begin
“Who is it?!”
Robb’s appearance was obviously unexpected, and everyone present was shocked. Then these experienced officers reacted instantly, took out their weapons, pointed them at Robb, and did not even ask questions.
Robb did not want to get entangled with these people. Killing people is easy, but it is more difficult to understand the information behind this matter. His purpose is to obtain the potion. There is no need to kill here to prevent the more mistakes.
Grabbing Prince Edessak’s shoulders directly, Robb took Prince Edessak back to his office.
Cresty, who was still reading the newspaper, was startled. Looking at Robb who suddenly appeared, he forced himself to hold back the urge to say a few words, but after a while, he still couldn’t hold back because he saw Prince Edessak in Robb’s hand.
Although Prince Edessak usually stays at home, Cresty, as a senior deacon, can still see this prince in many activities.
Especially the goddess’s mass festival, even the royal family has to participate.
Krestel sighed: “I thought you were here to help me. Now it seems that I will be thankful if you don’t make trouble for me, Mr. Robb.”
Robb laughed: “Don’t be so nervous. His Royal Highness is about to be executed. I just saved his life.”
“Tell me what happened. If it’s serious, I will report it to the Archbishop immediately. Also, if the royal family comes to ask for people, we must hand them over. The church cannot interfere in government affairs. It is the instruction of the goddess.”
Krestel is also an old Red Glove who has experienced many battles, and there is a little justice in his heart. Hearing Robb say that the prince is going to be executed, he felt a little sympathy.
He doesn’t mind doing such a good thing that does not violate the principle.
But Prince Edessak obviously didn’t think so. He was hit hard and had already burst into tears. He choked and said, “Kill me. I made a big mistake and I have no face to face everything.”
Robb didn’t care at all: “Is it about your witch mistress? She didn’t seem to be there when I found you. What happened? What’s the situation with this smog?”
Krestai showed a trace of pity on his face. He could see that Prince Edessak was in great pain at this time. He was tormented to the point of wanting to commit suicide, but Robb’s questioning was obviously very stiff, with an attitude that he only wanted his own information and didn’t care about the other party’s life or death.
Even if the other party was a prince, he was just a stranger in Robb’s eyes.
And he was a stranger who was no different from others, and there was no abnormality at all because of the other party’s identity as a prince.
Krestai took action and waved his hand gently. A peaceful and serene force appeared on the prince’s body. Prince Edessak was instantly pulled into a dream. Here, all the evil and sad things had not happened yet. Krestai slowly guided Prince Edessak to reveal his inner secrets.
Soon, Krestel came out of the dream with a sad look on his face.
Robb whistled briskly: “What’s the situation?”
“This child has been used as a scapegoat, and there are basically people around him who threaten and use him…” At this point, Krestel glanced at Robb, and it was obvious that he had already known that Robb had threatened Prince Edessac with Triss’s matter.
But Robb was not embarrassed at all: “Then what?”
So Krestel sighed and began to explain what Prince Edessac knew: he fell in love with a witch, and the matter of raising a witch had actually been known to the royal family for a long time. The witch even fell in love with the prince. She seemed to know something and had always wanted to leave the prince to protect him.
But after the smog incident, Prince Edessac was taken out to take the blame, because this incident was caused by the Witch Church, and Prince Edessac, who raised a witch, not only had a motive, but his identity as a prince was also enough to give an explanation to all parties.
Robb was still a little disappointed: “So that’s how it is. He is just a scapegoat. He doesn’t know anything about the real thing. He is just a discarded child. So my plan to get close to the royal family by contacting him has failed.”
It seems that I still don’t know what conspiracy the royal family has.
Unexpectedly, Krestey has another big news: “According to the information known by Prince Edessak, this smog is actually the conspiracy behind the Feyssak Empire. They have joined forces with the Witch Cult to cause this smog.”
“Is there such a thing?”
Krestey is a believer of the goddess. Of course, he has no good feelings for the Feyssak Empire, a country that believes in the Church of the God of War. He can even say that he hates it. He said fiercely: “These beasts, damn it!”
According to the prince’s account, Prince Edessak also has private contacts with the executives of the Feyssak Empire for the purpose of competing for the right to inherit the throne.
Now they have to go to war.
Robb, who has been an emperor, knows very well that this is actually a trick, and a very clumsy trick, which basically belongs to the category of being too lazy to act.
Because the matter was very simple. It was obvious that Prince Edessak was here to take the blame. According to Robb’s observation, Prince Edessak was a simple and somewhat stupid person. A prince like him was not included in the category of heirs from the beginning.
Generally, the royal family will select a few princes as backup heirs and train them from an early age. Those who have no inheritance value are provided with good food and drink, and they are not expected to do anything.
Prince Edsac, who has no contact with anyone in the political arena, has no one to support him, and has no influence at all, how can he have the heart to compete for the position of heir?
A person who has no support means that no force can benefit from him after he comes to power. Only those who are out of his mind support him and do not support the children of his family who are married to the royal family.
Crested didn’t think too much: “The Fusac Empire is very cruel. I want to report this matter to Mr. Archbishop.”
“Go ahead.”
Robb knew that Prince Edsac had been wronged, but it was none of his business. He just wanted to save his life because of his previous promise to do things for him.
Robb was unwilling to do other things, and now he began to think about how to gain benefits from the next incident.
——
“Mr. Robb, two new members of the Red Gloves have been transferred from Tingen. They have been assigned to Mr. Crested.”
While Robb was thinking, the secretary outside delivered news.
Two familiar figures appeared at the door of Crestel’s office. One had slightly curly hair and looked like a poet, and the other one was very familiar, it was Klein.
The two of them were not surprised to see Robb. When Crestel came to inspect the members of Tingen Nighthawks, Robb was accompanying him, so the two should be partners.
When Robb saved Tingen before, the two of them had seen how powerful Robb was, so even Leonard, who had always been unruly, restrained his behavior: “Mr. Robb, long time no see, thank you very much for your help last time. ”
Robb glanced at the crowded office: “It looks like we’re going to have a brand new office.”
After helping the two of them find a seat, the three of them chatted for a while. The main topic was still focused on the great smog incident.
Klein still couldn’t bear it: “It’s really terrifying. I didn’t expect the people of the Fusac Empire to be so terrifying, using such biological and chemical weapons in a big city like Backlund.”
Leonard smiled and said nothing.
Robb was a little surprised: “How do you know it’s the Feysac Empire?”
Klein explained: “When the heavy smog broke out last night, many people fell to the ground. The newspaper published this incident at noon today. It said that all major events this time were caused by the Fusac Empire. conspiracy.”
So impatient?
Robb didn’t expect the Augustus royal family to be so direct. Less than twenty-four hours after the incident happened, it was so outrageous to slam the shit basin on the head of the Feysac Empire in such a hurry.
Thinking back to the dinner party attended by Prince Edsac before, many people were thinking about going to war with the Feysac Empire. It seemed that the conflicts at home and abroad were already very intense, and most people were thinking about going to war with the other side.
Even the other side is very likely to start a war with this side.
Leonard said: “Now the entire country is outraged, and I have seen that there are many people outside who want to unite for a demonstration, saying that they want to make the Fusac Empire pay the price.”
“I guess a solution to this matter will be given soon. I remember that there was a huge airship published in the newspaper before. It was a weapon of war.”
A few people were chatting, and Crested, who went to report to work, came back with a puzzled expression on his face, with confusion still remaining on his face.
Seeing this, Robb asked casually: “What’s wrong?”
Cresty motioned Leonard and Klein out with his eyes, and then paced back and forth in the office a little anxiously.
Seeing that he was very impatient, Robb was not in a hurry to ask. He just looked at Crestel lightly, curious about what kind of trouble he had encountered.
“There’s going to be a war!”
After a long time, Crestel finally told the information he knew. This was what the Archbishop asked him to tell Robb.
“I really don’t understand what the church and the royal family are thinking. This is a matter for the Witch Sect. Why should they start a war with the Feysac Empire? There is no evidence of direct involvement from the Feysac Empire!
Don’t they know what kind of disasters the war will cause? Then the people at the bottom will suffer uncontrollable disasters, and then all the peace on the streets will be broken. Is this what they want? ”
Obviously, Crestel is not a war fanatic, but he is powerless to change this.
As one of the three largest forces in the Loen Kingdom, if the Loen Kingdom and the Fusac Empire went to war, the Church of the Night would definitely know about it in advance, and even plan the outcome.
In other words, the Church of the Night also wants to start a war with Fusac.
This caused Crestel to have some self-understanding.
There is no doubt that he is the most devout member of the church, but he is also a good man who cares about the people.
But he couldn’t change anything, he could only make himself miserable.
“In a few days, George III will give a pre-war public speech. After giving the speech, he will officially start war against the Feysac Empire.”
Robb felt something was wrong, but he had no unusual thoughts. After all, it was normal for a king to give a speech before going to war. Just like the fireside conversation in his previous life, it could play a role in boosting morale.
What was wrong was that the king was too impatient.
Will the war begin in a few days?
War is no child’s play. When Robb himself was the king, a battle basically took half a year to plan and arrange. It was really possible to ensure that the troops were not moved and the food and fodder went first.
But now that George III is about to go to war, there is only one explanation, and that is that he has been prepared for a long time.
Crested was extremely frustrated: “Just wait, the war will start soon.”
——
On the street, everyone’s faces showed excitement and worry.
They already know that the culprit behind the great smog incident is the Fusac Empire. The relationship between the two countries was not very good to begin with. Now that the other side has done something like this again, is there going to be a war soon?
Many people are still very excited, thinking that as long as their country starts a war, it will win immediately, so they have begun to talk nonsense here, preparing to occupy the opposite side and seize countless resources.
In a relatively quiet tavern, a girl wearing a cake-colored girl’s long dress, with extremely natural chestnut hair hanging down to her waist, and a pair of dark blue eyes that seemed to condense an ocean, was drinking.
She looks extremely sweet, and many people want to come up and chat with her, but they are intimidated by the aura of superiority exuding from her, so they can only watch from a distance.
The girl listened to the conversations of these ordinary people, but there was no look of excitement on her face, she was just worried.
“These people don’t know the horror of war, but I am the same as them. I don’t know the impact of this big incident on me, and…”
There was a trace of sadness on Bernadette’s face. She had just received news that a god was about to appear in the Kingdom of Loen.
Originally, this matter had nothing to do with her, but the title of this god made her extremely concerned, because the name of this god was – Black Emperor!
Bernadette remembered very clearly that her father, Emperor Russell, became crazy because he forcibly transferred his rank to the Black Emperor.
The appearance of a black emperor also means that the previous black emperor is completely dead. This is something Bernadette cannot accept. No matter how crazy Emperor Russell was in his later years, Bernadette wants to find out the truth of the matter and help Father regains his sanity!
She couldn’t sit back and watch the birth of a black emperor!
