Chapter 192 (2/2)
“That is because His Majesty Timothy Wimbledon is currently in the Northern Territory,” Lehht he could take advantage of the weakened state of the Northern Border Guards to instigate a rebellion After being suspected of starting a revolution, King Timothy had no other choice than to put down the revolt”
Rebellion? Perot frowned, that does not h the Border Guards were put together of Knights and dom, most of the members were still the Duke’s own men So how could it be that he had substantial losses created by the rebellion? Re the letter within Duke Ryan had written about his plans to annex the North, Petrov created a bad ie within his mind… Could it be that Timothy Wimbledon had the same kind of idea?
“That being the case, what is the King’s current decision?”
“He has issued a recall order,” Lehman stated, “His Majesty sent me to see if the Western Territory has also sunken into a state of chaos, caused by war If I re had sent a recall order to Roland Wi’s City”
“The instruhold five o, but unlike the previous Lords, Lord Roland didn’t choose to return to the stronghold and take refuge here during the Months of Demons,” Petrov paused “He decided to instead stay inside Border Town and lead his people against the demonic beasts So, for that reason he couldn’t i’s orders
“By now the end of the Months of Deo,” Leh has sent ’s City”
“When will you leave for Border Town?”
“We will set out to”
Traveling at a regular pace, they should arrive at Border Town in three days, while ht, and should be able to deliver the hness should have enough time to prepare to deal with them I, Petrov, can only do so much
When the group reached the stronghold’s barracks, Petrov stopped, “This is the place where the Duke’s Knights were stationed, so staying here you should get a good rest, dinner will be sent later to you As for Sir Lehman,” Petrov looked at Lehman Hawes, “there will be a hearty dinner prepared for you, please be sure to attend”
“Thank you for your generosity, Sir Petrov,” the latter laughed
After dinner, when Lehman returned to camp and stepped into the central tent, he was immediately surrounded by several people
“What’s the situation?” He asked
“We are surrounded on all sides by people who are keeping a close watch over us They have also stationed around a hundred troops at the gates, but most of the to the city patrol,” one of his men reported “It seems that the Lord doesn’t trust us”
“At least it appeared that our intelligence was correct, the inforathered at the banquet also confirmed this point,” Lehman spoke in a hushed tone “After the Duke was defeated, ht to Border Town, so there aren’t ht’s left for them to use in combat”
Before he had arrived here, he had gathered detailed intelligence about the current situation in Longsong Stronghold The task given by His Majesty was very simple, which was, to discover the reasons for the Duke’s loss, and then to take the appropriate ain control over the Western Territory as quickly as possible
“What’s with those who took that medicine…?”
“They will soon reach their liive the”
The roup was also only a pretext, of their teahts were only counted at thirteen, the other were hts Under the influence of the church’s pills, they were more obedient than the loyalest of hounds, while at the sa even more ferocious than demonic beasts They were also the key to Leh to his plan, a 1,500 people strongas they opened the gates, the city would fall into their hands
“Hand out the pills, then have ten men stay behind to deal with the patrol and send the others to the East Gate” Lehave his orders
