Chapter 1090 (1/2)
”... so this is an ultimatum?”
In front of the closed front door of the main hall of the heavenly palace, the heavily armed Archduke ellemans looked solemn, and there was a trace of forbearing anger between the tight corners of his mouth.
As for the count of the mountain rock castle on one side, angert was not so polite - he clenched the handle of the big sword behind him, so that the royal guards on both sides even suspected that he would cut them with a sword, and then blood stained the sky palace.
”I'm sorry, if you can, please accept my most sincere apology - this is not what I hope, nor what I can control, or even what I try to avoid, but it happened.” the fearless seal minister mettner said calmly:
”After all night's discussion, the imperial council rejected your request to send troops. At present, protecting the safety of the imperial capital is still the most important thing. We can't risk dividing troops to rescue Duke Bain and let the imperial Legion go out of the city.”
”That's the Duke of Byrne. We're Byrne!”
”But you are still the Legion of the Empire. Duke Byrne is also the Duke of the Empire and a member of the noble Royal sword Knights!” mettner retorted without hesitation: ”just because it doesn't accord with your heart, you can regard the imperial resolution as nothing - this is not the style of the hometown of cavalry in my impression!”
The angry count of the mountain rock castle was blocked speechless and stopped talking several times. Finally, he could only stare at the seal minister in front of him with a murderous eye.
”If there is nothing else, please allow me to leave for the time being.”
Although he was extremely short-sighted and desperate for the ”colleagues” of the imperial parliament, the seal minister who was still obliged to maintain the dignity of the parliament nodded slightly to the two Legion commanders in front of him, turned and returned to the parliament hall again.
At this time, any explanation is pale and meaningless.
”Bang --!”
”When are you going to do it?”
Almost before the door was closed and people left, the count of the mountain rock Castle turned his head to the Archduke of El mans without scruples, and his anger was not concealed in a straight tone.
”Wait, at least... Not now.” Yuli vilz frowned and sighed to meet each other's eyes: ”listen, I know you are worried about the safety of Loren Turin, but we can't violate the decision of the imperial Parliament - at least not so bold.”
”But...”
”Not to mention!”
”We don't know his specific position now, let alone what he intends to do. In this case, sending troops rashly is likely to destroy his plan, or even ignore one thing and lose the other.”
”What are we going to do? Just wait!”
”Observation is also a very important link - the movements of the Azores, as well as the recent news of the 'black Duke' outside the Imperial City, which can help us make a more accurate judgment.”
Archduke elmond's eyes showed a childlike cunning luster: ”the imperial Council did not allow us to send troops, but did not prohibit scouts from collecting intelligence, so I scattered more than 1000 light infantry outside the city - at this time, someone should have come back to report.”
”Really, but... How did you let your light infantry in and out of the city defense? Aren't those places under the control of the imperial Legion?”
”Yes, it's in their hands.” Yuli weiltz nodded. ”But the facts are often different from the surface. For example, the so-called 'Imperial Legion' is temporarily recruited by imperial nobles, and they don't care who their soldiers are, so... It's easy to empty them with some hands and feet.”
”So you have actually controlled the city defense of the imperial capital?!”
”... you can say so.”
”And the whole empire is under your control?!”
”... not exactly.”
”Then why did you come to ask these scum for instructions?”
Yuli weiltz felt that it might be really difficult for the person in front of him to really understand.
”It's complicated to say, but I think you don't care - what you care about is the safety of Loren Turin.” Archduke elmond turned and walked down the stairs and glanced at count angert standing behind him:
”Let's look at the intelligence and decide what to do next?”
…………………………
Just when there was chaos in the Imperial City, the black haired wizards who were still ”playing hide and seek” with the Azores in the blockade were very tangled.
It's not because the situation is beyond his control, but... Great, good, even beyond his expected goal!
The Azores who besieged the imperial capital are gradually gathering towards the riot area according to his expected goal; After realizing that he was only doing useless work, he began to retreat with great strides, concentrate and shrink the defense line, and sweep away the survivors of the riot.
All this is in line with all the expectations of Loren Turin, to the exact point... It makes him wonder whether the enemy opposite is the elf prince.
In his impression, even if he did not exceed his expectations, he would never ”cooperate” so much; Loren even thought of at least four possibilities. In the worst case, he even planned to abandon the original plan and ”sneak” to the imperial capital.
But now... Too much cooperation with his enemies has made him a little tangled.
If only to open the way to the imperial capital, he has succeeded now; If the purpose is to lure the enemy out of line with the siege army and fight a vigorous war of annihilation under the Imperial City, the time is ripe.
It's the first time for a black haired wizard to meet this ”fulfilled” battle. Generally speaking, this seemingly good situation is generally
”Trap... Is it possible?”
Ruthen said anxiously.
Loren hesitated for a second and shook his head. ”If he was going to set a trap, he should have done it a few days ago - or why not just keep chasing and surround us when we thought we were out of pursuit?”
”Maybe it's because they know that the Duke of Byrne is in this team.” little Joad shrugged his shoulders and couldn't help but say, ”anyone with a normal mind shouldn't want to be against the Duke?”
”Maybe their purpose is to let you pass and enter the Imperial City calmly; then you will turn from darkness to light, and the great elves don't have to worry anymore.”
”Indeed, it is possible.” Loren does not deny:
”If so, then the choice is in our hands - whether to take the opportunity to go to the imperial capital or find a way to fight a war of annihilation with the cooperation of the legions in the imperial capital?”
