Chapter 136 (2/2)
“No, Ryan,” Garcia shook her head, “I have never been worried about the Sandpeople, they won’t ever be a threat to Clearwater Port The lake in their territory is exactly in thein the lake goes first through the Port of Clear Water So as long as I block up the river, the amount of water in the lake will be reduced and they will start to fight against each other This is also exactly the reason, why I chose the Sandstone Clan and the Black Bone Clan, their relationshi+p was never harmonious “
“Then are you worried about the matter of the pills?”
Garcia didn’t give hiuard knocked once more on the door and announced, “Your Majesty, the priest of the church, Dicar”
“Bring him in,” the Queen stood up and her face became darker
“Your Majesty, Garcia Wireet you on behalf of the Holy City,” the priest entered the terrace while bowing
“Pills? Why is it that the previous batches of pills that had always been served tiot so much delayed?” Garcia asked coldly
“Your Majesty no need for anger, this is exactly the reason I came,” Dicar had to wipe the sweat from his forehead, “You asked to buy 5000 pills, but that is just too much, even if we take all the pills produced for the Herht as much as I could with me”
“How much?” Interrupted Garcia
“One thousand” Said Dicar in a consoling voice, “the rest will be sent after a while”
“And it will still be the saot a bit nicer, “You noant to have as many as I can Also where have you stored the pills? I’ll immediately send someone to fetch them”
“In the church, the gold royals…”
“This tiold royals,” Garcia stepped directly in front of Dicar and whispered into his ear, “but if the delivering of the pills get further delayed, your head will hang on the highest uarantee you, the archbishop won’t shed a single tear for you”
Hearing this the priest turn pale and directly asked to be excused
When he had left, Garcia went back to the railing and looked out over the sea Her hair was lifted up by the sea breeze, just like the flags of her shi+ps, waving in the wind
“You were right, I’m worried about the pills” Garcia’s voice seeer, my preparation would have been more adequate, but he had moved too fast”
“You’ve done a great job,” Ryan thought to himself, who could have done a better job? The le City, she had already started to prepare the path for her retreat She had ordered her soldiers to take away all of the usable materials and residents, while at the sa out everywhere in the city, afterward filling thee of ed the territory between the Southern Border and the Wildland for the support of the Sandpeople She then gave the Clan warriors sohts from both sides, however, to ensure that her loyal supporters were able to resist the last overwhele, they didn’t hesitate for a s themselves
“The secret medicine provided by the church wasn’t like what they had told, allowing alive without any obstructions After sing theh, thethem become weak and later die in pain because of muscle atrophy If it were only the Sandpeople I wouldn’t care, but the people orked forbetter “She paused,” Ryan, take some men to receive the pills and distribute them under our heroic warriors But only use half of theer”
“Just as you wish, Your majesty”
As Ryan was already halfway to the door, they could hear the guards voice for the third tih the door, “Your Majesty, we have just received a secret letter fro’s City”
“Wait a o,” Garcia ordered
“Yes, Your Majesty,” Ryan received the letter frouard, broke the seal, and removed the parchment Most of these letters contained information sent by the spies hidden in all parts of the country They were never signed, never had a recipient written on it and its content was also always as concise and clear as possible normally But when he saw the first sentence, his whole body was suddenly rooted
“On the twenty-second day of spring, the church seized the capital of the Kingdodom is now under their rule”
