Riding and Slashing

Chapter 98

And Amy led the lion knights directly into Qicha Fortress, and hung the golden lion flag on a red background high.

The lord of Qicha Fortress is not there, and the garrison dare not stop it. After all, this is the Royal Knights.

In fact, Li Ang wanted to use this method to make the Bacchus Empire really retreat...

The key to solving the problem lies in whether Bacchus retreats.

The lord said this to the members of the Lion Knights: "There are enemies spying on us right now, and the situation is unknown. Are you willing to protect Miss Amy here for a few days?"

"Of course!" "Master Li Ang, don't worry..."

The lion knights agreed quite happily.

With the previous experience of fighting side by side, the lion knights still respect Li Ang-going deep into the enemy's camp and capturing two governors, this matter can be boasted for a lifetime.

Of course, the main reason is what Lehman inadvertently confided—most of the young people in the Knights of the Lions really have thoughts about Amy...

To protect Miss Amy, the Lion Knights are of course obliged... They will even be grateful to the lord for creating opportunities for them.

This is why Li Ang wanted Lehman to go first and let the Lion Knight come to Qicha Fortress with him.

With the Lion Knight, Eldred can be forced away, and the Bacchus Empire can retreat.

This is actually the 'two-sided barrier' in vertical and horizontal surgery.

It is impossible for Eldred and the Bacchus Empire to be monolithic, and they will also be suspicious of each other.Especially Rainier died, no matter who killed Rainier, anyway, he died for the strategy of the Bacchus Empire.

Then the Bacchus Empire will suspect Eldred, and there is a high probability that they will not be able to act according to the original plan-the pain of losing a son, who is sure what a father who just died will do?
And Eldred may be able to control the pain of losing his son, but he must also doubt whether the Bacchus Empire will abandon him and give up the original plan because of this?
The appearance of the Lion Knights would make Eldred think that the king already knew the news of the retreat of the Bacchus Empire, so he boldly sent the Lion Knights to 'investigate' him, and he was not afraid of forcing himself back.

Therefore, there will be a change in Eldred - no matter what kind of change is fine, as long as he leaves the Qicha Fortress.

And once there is a change in him, in the eyes of the Bacchus Empire, it is completely unbelievable.

This is a two-faced barrier. As long as the two parties are not blood relatives, there is a high probability that they will part ways amid mutual suspicion.

The smarter a person is, the more he will fall into this kind of mental block.

"Teacher, what if the Bacchus Empire really launches an attack?"

Amy is still a little worried. Of course, the Bacchus Empire has not yet retreated. The current situation of Qicha Fortress is not suitable for fighting. These garrisons are unreliable, and there are not many people in the Lion Knights.

"The people of the Bacchus Empire are not stupid... If you were the governor of Kairos and saw the banner of the Lion Knights planted in the Qicha Fortress, what would you think?"

The lord started the class.

"I probably thought that Qicha Fortress was taken over by the Lion Knights..."

Amy hesitated, she has not yet adapted to this way of thinking that fully substitutes for everyone.

"That's right. Now that Kailos has seen this situation, do you think he dares to attack?"

"Teacher, if it were you, would you attack?"

"I will retreat immediately. Kailos is full of cavalry and cannot forcibly attack the city. The collusion with Eldred is probably looking for an opportunity to attack Sarleon City, otherwise the Qicha Fortress can directly rebel."

Amy nodded thinkingly: "But if Sarleon City is safe and sound, then Eldred is definitely not willing to rebel directly, otherwise, once the imperial army retreats, he will face the siege of the kingdom's army...so he has always been just Cooperate with the empire to provide intelligence and create opportunities for the empire, but will not show any opposition."

The lord is very relieved, it is so rare to have a student with this kind of understanding ability.

"So, as long as Bacchus's intelligence source is disrupted, Kairos can't determine the specific situation, and he can neither attack the city nor get the opportunity to attack Sarleon City, then he can only retreat."

Obviously, the source of information for the Bacchus Empire is Eldred.

If he had no ghosts in his heart, he wouldn't have left Qicha Fortress at all—he would have been safe staying here in the first place.

In fact, since there is no evidence, the accusation of empty teeth alone cannot bring down Eldred.

But since the Lion Knight came to 'investigate', it meant that Ulrik didn't trust him, so Eldred couldn't just sit still.

As Li Ang said, he either went to Sarleon City to explain the situation, or directly rebelled, or he could only run away.

The rebels could only guard the isolated city and wait for the king to attack. With the Bacchus Empire already 'retreating', Eldred knew that he had no backup.

Running away is likely to be a dead end, and the family will be implicated.

So Eldred left Seven Forks Fortress and went to Sarleon City, letting the Lion Knights enter the fortress to 'investigate'.

He wasn't worried about the killing of Earl Alden, no one could do anything about him - due to the 'testimony' of some subordinates who couldn't stand the torture, Andrew's charges were almost confirmed.

Even if it was the king's nephew, it is possible to overturn the case, but Eldred's hands and feet are very clean, and no one can accuse him without evidence.

And the specific action of treason has not yet started, as long as the plan is suspended, no one will have evidence to testify against Eldred.

So it is feasible to go to Sarleon City to explain, and there is a high probability that the king will let him go.

After all, there is no evidence, and the king cannot conclude that Eldred is also a traitor just because Rainier attacked Mai Xiangling.

In fact, the king needs more evidence to do things.

Moreover, in order to exonerate his nephew Andrew and regain control of the guards of the royal city, the king still needs the armed servants detained by Eldred to 'reverse the case', so he will not do anything to him.

But what Eldred didn't expect was that when he first arrived in Sarleon City, he was sued by Baron Hereward...

"Your Majesty, I want to accuse Eldred of treachery! Your Majesty, please read this letter!"

The content of the letter is as follows...

"Marshal Kailos: Our army was at a disadvantage in the White Hart Castle, and Rainier was killed. Eldred lost his son in middle age because of the empire's plan. He will no longer be loyal to the empire. Your plan may be destroyed by Egypt. Dredd took advantage of it and turned into an ambush. In order to avoid losses, please abandon the plan to withdraw troops. Sincerely, Justus."

King Ulrik asked Grand Maester Igor to verify it—the letter was indeed written by Justus, and the seal on the ring was also true.

This letter cannot actually be used as evidence of Eldred’s treason—the enemy’s letter cannot be used as testimony, and it may be a divorce.

The letter did not mention what Kailos' plan was - because the lord himself did not know.

But in any case, this letter is enough for the old man Hereward to sue.

This will definitely get Eldred into a lawsuit, Ulrik cannot turn a blind eye to this, and Eldred will be inseparable from Sarleon City for a while.

Moreover, this letter can also remind the king to step up his precautions and not take any risky actions to ensure the safety of Sarleon City.

In fact, after Ulrik saw this letter, he immediately asked Eldred to stay in Sarleon City to defend himself, and did not intend to let him return to Seven Fork Fortress...

Eldred might regret it very much. If he didn't leave Seven Forks, King Ulrik probably wouldn't take this letter seriously, and wouldn't call him to a lawsuit.

The plan of the Bacchus Empire has become impossible to implement.

Seven Forts was 'taken over' by the Knights of the Lion, Eldred was locked in a lawsuit, and Sarleon was on the defensive—no matter what plans the Bacchus Empire had.

As long as Kairos is not stupid, he should have started to retreat by now.

Even if you can't accurately judge the enemy's plan, as long as you don't give the enemy any chance, it is enough to retreat the enemy.

This was a two-handed preparation by the lord. Baron Hereward thought it was "false accusation against false accusation", but in fact, Li Ang was not a false accusation...

This is to fulfill the Countess's request - "Don't have any secret scheming deals, I just want the murderer to die in front of me."

The main purpose of this letter was to prevent Eldred from returning to Seven Forks, and to delay in Sarleon City in order to file a lawsuit until the day of Oden's funeral.
