Who says knights can't backstab

Chapter 663 Back to Solkonan

[-], mid-June.

The passenger ship carrying the La Rochelle mission went northward from the Hauve River, passed through the South Pepeha River, entered Ginnaze, and then turned to land, traveling day and night, and returned to the majestic capital of La Rochelle, Solco Under the southern city gate.

All the diplomatic matters in the Port of New Orville have been settled. Although there is such a relationship with Qing Evans, Cassandra Auditore did not make any concessions when negotiating with the experienced Blake Evans. Stuck the psychological bottom line of the La Rochelle people and won the greatest benefit.

Of course, the Minister of Foreign Affairs did not suffer much. After all, the goal of the two parties is to cooperate and win-win. La Rochelle and Port New Orville signed a 20-year offensive and defensive alliance treaty.When Nudaria tried to launch an attack on the port of New Orville, La Rochelle needed to put a certain amount of pressure on Nudaria from the east.

Correspondingly, Port of New Orville will deploy the navy closer to La Rochelle to assist La Rochelle in resisting the possible attack of Au Saint-Emma.

As for commercial cooperation, it is natural that there are as many as possible. The Port of New Orville lowered the tariffs on La Rochelle, allowing La Rochelle to buy many previously unobtainable products from Au Saint-Ayre at a low price. Mar or resources from other countries.

Captain Bartholomew Teach Drake and Neil Alden remained in Port New Orville and did not return to La Rochelle with them.Although Cassandra Auditore was reluctant to part with Evans, the moment she received the most votes and took the position of the consul of the Port of New Orway, she was doomed to be unable to leave the Port of New Orville.

Although the negotiation went well, Cyril's mood gradually became depressed from the day he returned to the territory of La Rochelle and landed in the harbor.

Solkonan had already had secret envoys waiting at the harbor, and it is said that he had been waiting for Cyril and the others for nearly a month.

"Her Royal Highness Anastasia Herman ordered La Rochelle to return to La Rochelle immediately after the La Rochelle Mission to the New Orville Port returned to La Rochelle."

This oral order made Cyril's nerves tense.

One can imagine the importance of the event that allowed Anastasia to give a secret oral message.And the news of the death of the prince of St. Emma in New Orville should not have reached La Rochelle. If St. Emma's troops came to attack, then Her Royal Highness the Princess would not be so secretive.

In this way, there is only one possibility left.

This matter is related to the king of La Rochelle, Kelson Herman.

He entered Solkonan with a feeling of uneasiness. There was no sign of chaos in the city, and everything seemed to be in order.The chaos caused by the invasion of the undead in northern Xinjiang seems to have finally subsided, and the scene of refugees wandering around the royal city is no longer a few months ago, but the number of shops has increased a lot visible to the naked eye.

He bid farewell to Evans and his son, and the Strike Knights also temporarily disbanded and went home.

All of a sudden, only Cyril, Mia, Misha, Sugar Winkler, astrologer Greely Stard, witch Veronica Helene, and Heloise Trewell.

"Your Excellency Treville, what is your next plan?"

"I will take Veronica away to meet His Highness." Heloise said directly.

"I'll go with you. Your Highness should need me." Cyril thought for a while, and was about to greet Mia and the others when he suddenly found the astrologer winking at him.

"If you have anything to say, just say it." Cyril looked at the astrologer, whose eyes jumped, and then gestured to Cyril, leading him to a side alley, and then said in a low voice:
"My lord, I have a bad feeling."

"Bad premonition? How bad can it be."

Greeley Stard looked forward and backward, until Cyril let out an impatient "tsk", then hesitantly said: "There is a shining star, but it is dimmed."

"This star, for the past few decades, has shone over La Rochelle."

After saying this, he immediately pulled up his robe carefully to cover his face, and walked back behind Su Geer with his head buried.

But in Cyril's heart, there was a thump.

If he hadn't seen Kelson Herman before, maybe he wouldn't have felt what Greely Stard said...

But he had seen the cursed, emaciated and dying king, and he also knew that Greeley's prophecy was quite accurate.

Then his words...

He took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions repeatedly, and then rode on the horse, following the pace of Heloise and Veronica.

Climbing up the majestic and magnificent stone road leading to the palace, Heloise remained silent as usual.After Veronica played the mind-reading game with Heloise for a while, her eyes fell on Cyril's face.

"Hey, Earl, are you very unhappy now?"

"Can't you read my heart?" Cyril raised his eyebrows and looked at her.

"But your expression has already written your mood." Veronica put away her laughter and the ups and downs of her voice, "You should happily accept the reward, and you have won the award in Xinaowei Port. For such a great achievement, what should His Highness reward you?"

"Land? Money? Looks like you don't need anything...then I guess...maybe Hero will be rewarded to you~"

"If you keep arguing, I'll tear your mouth off." Heloise said coldly, only for a whistle from the witch beside her.

They quickly arrived at the gate of the palace. Heloise took the witch away first, leaving only Cyril to enter the palace.

The guards at the gate have recognized this heroic young half-elf and saluted him respectfully.He walked all the way into the corridor of the palace, only to find several guards standing in the corridor within a few steps.

It would be fine if it was just the palace guards, but the armor and weapons worn by these guards were all different, and they obviously belonged to different troops.

Cyril paid attention, and after a cursory scan, he saw the badges of the Kingdom's Second Legion Thunder Lion Legion, Seventh Legion Snow Owl Legion, and No.13 Legion Field Horn Legion.

Guardsmen from so many different units?

Moreover, these guards are not only well-equipped, but also have an astonishing aura. When Cyril tried to spy, two or three magic auras immediately responded and warned him.

These are the elite of the army's elite, and I am afraid that they are all the guards of people of the rank of the army commander.

As he was analyzing like this, a heavy door in front of him was suddenly pushed open, and then several figures came out of it.Cyril stepped aside, only looked up a few times, and the corner of his right eye couldn't help but twitched:

The closest general to him had slightly gray hair, but his face was ruddy. His facial features gave Cyril a strong sense of déjà vu, and his eyebrows were similar to those of Alex Slow, acting chief of the Silver Blade Knights under him. Erwin Neil is very similar.

And Cyril knew his identity, he was the commander of the Kingdom's Third Legion, the Molten Mountain Legion, Duke Myron Slovenier.

That is Alex Slovenier's father.

Followed by the Second Legion Chief Arlin Amy, the Seventh Legion Chief Vincent Herman, and the No.13 Legion Chief Maurice Henry—

The meeting room in front of him just held a military meeting of the highest standard in the kingdom!

What kind of important matter does it take the legion commanders from all over the world to come together for a meeting and discuss it?

A total of eleven legion leaders walked out of the door in front of them. There are currently sixteen legions in the Kingdom, and almost three-quarters of the legions participated in this meeting.

These legion commanders hurried away with the guards, and it was not until the corridor returned to silence that Cyril slowly walked to the door of the meeting room.

He looked into the room, and at the end of the long table, there was only a crouching figure.

Her long white hair was spread out on the table. She stretched out one arm straight and laid it flat on the table. She tapped the table with her fingers; while her head rested in the crook of the other hand, a sound could be faintly heard. Sound "boo", "boo" sound.

Cyril lowered his voice, and slowly walked into the room. The figure didn't notice him walking in, and the slightly pale lips opened and closed, unconsciously continuing to make a "boo" sound.

Until those eyes saw the half-elf's pointy ears crookedly appearing in her line of sight.

Then his eyes met a pair of pale green eyes.

"Adrien... Sir Adrian?!!"

She bounced up like a spring, with too much force and even accidentally bent her neck. Her long white hair covered her face, and she hurriedly pushed her hair away. As a result, the saliva accumulated in her mouth because of the gesture just now went smoothly. The corner of his mouth slipped, and two or three drops of transparent liquid fell on the table.

She froze for a moment.

The young earl stood in front of her, not daring to move for a moment——

Danya, I just want to see what Her Highness the Princess is doing, who knows that I will see the childish ugly behavior of the other party!

Although Anastasia Herman is not someone who cares about such things, she can even cut off the tail of the long skirt directly, so it shouldn't be my fault...

He was stunned for less than a second, then bowed his head silently, his figure gradually blending into the shadows...

"Come out, Sir Adrian."

Anastasia Herman finally made a sound. She wiped the corners of her mouth with her arms, then pushed her hair to the sides and brushed it casually behind her head. Then she sat at the table, looking at the young earl The figure reappeared.

"come over."

She said with incomparable majesty.

Cyril slowly moved on tiptoe and approached.

"How long have you been back in La Rochelle?"

"I arrived at the port of Rab half a month ago. After receiving His Royal Highness's oral order, I immediately took a boat and rushed back to Solconan for days and nights."

Anastasia's majestic expression softened slightly, and she pointed to the chair beside her: "Thank you for your hard work, sit down."

Cyril stood there in a daze for a moment, then pointed to the table: "Your Highness, that, drool..."

Anastasia gave him a quick white look, then roughly wiped the table twice with her hands, leaving three watermarks that dried quickly, and glared at him again.

Cyril didn't say any more, just pulled out the chair and sat down.

"Is everything going well with Xinaowei Port?"

"Should...it's going well, right?" Cyril hesitated.

"The Bishop of the Harbor Temple died, the Minanka volcano erupted, and he encountered forbidden spells in succession. Is this considered smooth?"

What Anastasia said with a fake smile made Cyril's eyelids twitch, he half-raised his head, and stammered: "It should...probably...it seems...it's going well."

"Prince St. Emma died, and the fleet to Xinaowei Port was wiped out. Did everything go well?"

Cyril swallowed a mouthful of saliva, looked at Anastasia's cold and beautiful face, his eyes were fixed on himself, without retreating at all.

"Your Highness, you... know everything."

Anastasia let out a long sigh.

"It was Heloise who told me. New Orway Port didn't release any news about Ao San Emma. The confusion you caused caused the foreign trade of New Orway Port to be suspended, and the news didn't flow out through other channels."

"Your Highness, it's not the chaos we caused." Cyril argued, "It's better to say that if we weren't here, Pelagius Heris would have to die or die, maybe the port of New Aowei would be gone... "

But his words and actions did not cause any disturbance to Anastasia Herman. The latter just looked at him quietly, and said slowly until the voice disappeared.

"Mr Adrian, I don't mean to blame you."

"Didn't I ask Black to tell you? No matter what happens, the kingdom will be your solid backing."

"The Kingdom is prepared to bear the cost of any eventuality."

Her firm words made Cyril stunned, his eyes fixed on Anastasia Herman's face.

To be honest, when he killed Pelagius Herris, he didn't have the impression of the words conveyed by Black in his head.

And on the way back from Xinaowei Port, he was always worried about the consequences of this matter——

Although there is no evidence that Ao St. Emma can blame La Rochelle for the death of her own prince and diplomat and the annihilation of the fleet.In addition, he had greeted Cassandra, which made La Rochelle's figure downplayed in the subsequent public reports of the incident in Port New Orway, leaving Ao San Emma with no clues to catch.

But I'm afraid that O St. Emma will come to "crime, there is no excuse", that is, to tear the face unreasonably, and directly pile the soldiers on La Rochelle's face——

And Anastasia Herman obviously thought of this too, which is why such a large-scale military meeting was held in the palace.

Now it seems that she is really ready to deal with anything that may come.

He looked at Anastasia's face, and suddenly found that the other's eye circles were deeper than before, the whites of the eyes were covered with red bloodshot eyes, and the corners of the eyes were also a little red...

Subconsciously, Cyril asked, "Your Highness, have you... cried recently?"

And with his words fell.

The eldest princess of the kingdom, who was sitting upright one second, gradually turned red in the next second.

Then tears burst out uncontrollably.

　Ah, I forgot to mention that.

　　Originally designed for Neil Alden, Captain Drake and Evans were three broadswords
　　Alden had to change lives with the bishop, Captain Drake died after saving Miss Zoya, and Cassandra did not end well...

　　I put away the knife, I put away the knife!
　　Regret!
