Vol 5 Chapter 134

After clarifying her thoughts, Faina understood her situation. In the past week, the changes in the time when the sun went down proved that they were heading north. On several occasions, she heard Hai Tao's voice and walked along the Metz and Evergreen walkway. There are several mountain roads near the sea, which proves that the convoy is also traveling west. The convoy is likely to be passing through several provinces along the sublime inland sea to the west of the flower leaf collar, heading to the port there, and taking a boat to the imperial capital.

Day after day, life in the dark is enough to drive a normal person crazy, not to mention the huge fear in her heart. Most of the time she curls her feet and buries her head in her knees. Hug yourself with your hands and curl up in the corner of the prison car, as if you can make yourself feel a little safer. A day ago, the convoy stopped briefly in a small town on the terrace east of Naqa-Fatang port. During the stay, she figured out where she was. The guard revealed that the convoy was heading for the Evergreen Walkway. The western end is also the starting point of East Metz-Fattan.

Earlier that day, she clearly heard the sound of Hai Tao scouring the cliffs. She passed this mountain road more than once, but at that time she visited the place as the Duke's daughter. Faina leaned weakly on the icy iron wall, her blond hair dangled from her pale cheeks, she lowered her eyelids weakly, her thick eyelashes trembled slightly, and the gulls of seagulls came from outside the prison car. Somewhat strangely, the road is somewhat deserted, and there is no caravan passing voice. In theory, this should be an important land and sea hub in East Metz, and there is a continuous stream of business travel on weekdays. Still, Rodney didn't intend to go to Fattan Port, but they set up a secret anchorage near here.

The girl suddenly got a little creepy. These people are so cautious.

But the fact is not the case. The sun has just dispelled the mist between the straits, but the cliffs of Linhai are shrouded in a layer of water vapor, and a barrier crosses between these misty vapors. Rodney soon stopped the team. Going down, he looked up at the soldiers on the city wall with anchor-shaped emblems on the wall. This pass, built against the sea and the mountains, was the outermost line of defense of Fattan Port, but its gates rarely fell on weekdays. Rarely closed today.

"It seems that the battle caused by Her Majesty has affected this side." Rodney thought to himself that the news of the civil war had not yet reached these areas east of Mez, but as the ambassador of the Queen, he had First-hand news. He raised his head and shouted, "Open the door!"

"Who are you?" The soldier above the city tower leaned forward and asked below.

"We are members of the White Legion. Our adults have urgent military services to go to Fattan Port. I have sent someone to inform you earlier. Have you not seen them?" The knight beside Rodney asked indignantly. .

There was a commotion among the soldiers on the tower. Like looking at them to confirm their identities, this scene made Rodney more sure of his thoughts-these guys are not so loyal on weekdays. The so-called inspection is mostly to cope, or to take advantage of the opportunity. After a while, the people on the tower seemed to confirm Rodney's identity-after all, Rodney's followers were genuine White Legion knights, and under them were tall mountain dragons. Dixinglong also wore a special armor with glittering silver scales, a battle flag with the White Dragon emblem printed on the saddle, a spear shining, and a gigantic instrument, and at a glance you could see that it would never be a fake.

quickly. The city gate squeaked up.

In the darkness, Faina felt the cage shake slightly. The convoy started again. She didn't know what was going on in the east. It was a little strange to her. I thought that these people hadn't taken themselves to the secret port. Why is it still related to the gate and the gate, even if it is Fatan? Hong Kong does not have such strict precautions.

Brando, Ouni, Roman, and Shire were standing on the lookout as they watched the team pass the suspension bridge and across the gate. Brando pointed at the front knight and introduced the other three to him: "That man is Rodney, Veronica's brother, and the youngest son of Duke Ericico, but he has no skill at all and is a jester at best. It was only after Ms. Veronica was placed under house arrest by the Silver Queen that this person had won the favor of the Queen by drawing a line with her family, and is now her Majesty's Secret Service. "

"Ereshko's heroes didn't expect to have such a product." The Duke wrinkled his nose rather disdainfully.

"You can't say that. This guy's ability to judge the situation and righteousness can still be seen. It's the best use of it," Charles replied with a smile: "Lord Lord seems to be familiar with this person?"

Brando is uncomfortable with this issue. In fact, as an Eruin player, he is relatively familiar with well-known characters in the "enemy", but he is not only familiar with this person, but Rodney in history and the As Charles said, he is known for being good at seeing the wind and making the rudder. His reputation has made him a fish in the upper noble circle of the empire, and he was called the Ericsko Shuangluo, who praised him and his sister Veronica as The backbone of the Ericsko family, who knows that this person is a downright cartilage. In the 411 war, the army of Madara surrounded the White Eagle Fort (located today in Ludwig), he did not fight The surrender, the opening of the city, and the dedication of the enemy led to the complete destruction of the White Army. This is a well-known scandal in the history of the empire. Because of this matter, the Prestige family plummeted. Legion post.

Therefore, for this famous traitor, it is very difficult for players from later generations to be unfamiliar with his deeds.

However, this weak and incompetent guy is a model of the pig teammate as his own person, but it is really lucky to be an enemy. Fortunately, this guy's reputation is not obvious now. It is estimated that even the Silver Queen does not know what kind of virtue he has sent. The enemy ’s misfortune is his great fortune. Brando thought that this guy from Shire was true. That's right, if used properly, this is not only a big fish in front of you, but also a big fish with fat and oil.

"It looks pretty human, and it's only a little bit worse than Brando in my family." Miss Merchant observed the problem from a different angle. After squinting for a while, I reached the following conclusion. "Ahhhhhh!" Brando was almost half-dead with these words, what a pretty look. The Ereshko family is excellent in genes. His sister Veronica was a beauty known to the Emperor when he was young. Rodney himself has perfectly inherited this bloodline and is one of the most famous little white faces of the empire. This person is still a pick-up girl. The master, it is said that many celebrities in the emperor have a vague relationship. From the aspect of appearance, Brando still has a self-knowledge. I know that even if I ca n’t catch the horse, I ca n’t catch up with each other.

He looked angrily at the two left and right, and sure enough he saw the Duke Qianjin looking at this strangely, and the unscrupulous wizard attendant smiled hard.

"Just laugh, and be careful of your internal injuries," Brando said lightly.

"That's not necessary, Lord Lord." Charles smiled wryly: "There are still people below, it won't be great to get their attention."

Onni was finally a tough tutor, and she quickly calmed down. She put her fist on her mouth and coughed softly: "I heard that Her Majesty sent him to monitor the White Army. Why did he suddenly appear here? Who is inside? "

"In a phrase," Charles smiled. "It's a mermaid inside."

"Mermaid?" The Duke frowned a thousand times.

"That's just a metaphor. The little beauty in the prison cage is actually considered the lord's old look-wow!" Charles screamed, and a sword sideways avoiding Brando's sword: "Master, you It really started. Those guys are still down ... "

"Shut up," Brando answered coldly.

In fact, at the first glance of seeing Rodney, he had already guessed who was escorted in the prison car. Faina wrote a reply to her, which clearly showed her next intention. In fact, Brando had anticipated that she might be in trouble. The young lady still took the problem too far. It's simple. Since the Silver Queen has placed Veronica in the house and chose to support Rodney as the next owner of the Ericico family, she has already explained a lot of questions. How could Rodney see her sister's help? Not to mention that this person is a downright villain.

It was a pity that even if he wrote back again, it was too late, but he did not expect that Rodney would smash into his own net after catching Faina. In fact, Brando also blame Faina. The Silver Queen's blockade of information on the east and north is much tighter than on the south, so some information he learned that Faina did not get the first hand. The news is like she didn't know the interests of the Arishico family and the Silver Queen at the time.

Brando silently watched the carriage pass through the barrier and entered the port area, and a little anger was secretly rising in his mind.

Regardless, Rodney's actions have reached his bottom line.

...

The carriage finally got on the boat, looking at the bustling scene in front of the dock, Rodney was finally relieved. In fact, he knew his identity better than his ability. He couldn't compare to his sister. He was better than others. He was not an opponent of the military aristocrats in the north. But he was sufficiently loyal to his Majesty. He also put himself in peace. In this reasonable position of Chen Chen. Now that he has set his place, he has to help some of the things under the table, not only to do it, but also to do it well without leaving a tail, like this thing he did this time, he Of course I know that I will offend a large group of nobles, but it is much better for him to be a villain than His Majesty, because His Majesty will remember his credit.

As for the nobles who have already been angry, offend it. He knows exactly what Her Majesty wants to do, and that is no less than four sages-no, it should be far better than the sages. The great deeds they did, those decayed and ancient aristocrats, turned them to ashes in the new flame of fire.

The same is true of the Ericsko family.

Rodney told himself in his heart that he had nothing to do with what he had done, and that he had no choice but to have it, which was a matter of course.

Thinking of this, he glanced back at the prison car that was about to be transferred to the bottom compartment. He knew the value of the young lady in the prison cage-although His Majesty had already started, he had built a new one on the ruins of the Temple of Fire Doctrine. But after all, she wasn't about to overthrow the entire empire, and the two-hearted aristocrats in the north had proven to be completely unreliable. But there are more aristocrats waiting to see, His Majesty once told him how important these big aristocrats in the east of Metz are, if they fall to Protestantism, then the old stubborn Ludwigs will be trapped in all sides, let alone East Metz is also the main road to the Al Kashi Mountains.

Although it is not clear why Her Majesty values ​​the Arka region so much, to enter the Alka region, East Metz must be in his hands.

some of. The most important piece is the flower collar.

Today, the leader of the Mosaic Colleague is Duke Mosaic Helix, a hard-liner and emotionally inclined to the noble lords of Ludwig. He lived in the Ericco family for a long time when he was young. For a period of time, he had a deep relationship with the predecessor, Duke Areshko, so it was absolutely impossible for this person to favor His Majesty. The two sons of Duke Mosaic are also representatives of military nobility, stubborn locals. It is not worth trusting. In the end, the daughter of the Duke of Flowers and Leaves, the eldest daughter Fayna, was extremely rebellious, and she was also a disciple of the Blue Blade Saint. These people were not suitable candidates. Now the Duke and his two sons have been placed under house arrest. Miss Qian Jin returned to the capital in secret. The rest of the little princess was called ‘Little Angel with a Flower Leaf Collar’. She was weak and obedient since she was a child. Her father, elder brother, and sister were hostages, but she was not afraid of her disobedience.

Once the floral collar fell to the queen, East Metz was basically halfway there. The remaining weak lords will most likely not wait and see.

As for the return of the Miner--

Rodney was disdainful. What does this mean? This world originally belongs to the Miner people. The people of the Black Iron have just stolen authority. Her Majesty the Queen is doing a right thing, that is, putting authority back into the right place. And she will be crowned the Dark Dragon as the Cruz. At that time, the empire ruling the whole earth will soon be reappeared, and the Cruz will be on an equal footing with the Miner, and it is ridiculous that some people can't understand it.

This is the cause of justice.

Faina felt cold and hungry.

In the past two days, she feels that the surveillance of the prisoner by the people outside has become more and more tight. She has been able to ventilate every day for the past few days. However, people outside the two days have rarely opened the door of the prisoner's car and even sent food. The frequency of drinking and drinking was reduced, only once a day in the evening, which made her feel aggrieved and afraid. In fact, Faina knew faintly that this was because they were nearing their destination—people are like this. Whenever something is going to be completed, in order to avoid a loss of power, it will become more tense and the attention will become High concentration, which also shows that she is not far from the days of facing her destiny.

The thought disturbed her.

She did n’t know what she would face, whether she was directly executed in secret, or taken as a hostage, or used as a chess piece for political marriage. She had heard a lot of things in the past, but they were not the protagonists, but only felt a little scary. But today she felt a great deal of anxiety holding her back, preventing her from breathing. She seemed to see an abyss leading to darkness, filled with blood and hopelessness before her.

Faina cuddled on the cold iron wall, and those past clips were repeatedly played back in her mind. At that time, she was still the high princess of the flower-leaf collar, winning the favor of her father and her majesty, no matter where, She is the center of everyone around her. Then she became a Veronica student. She went to many places with her teacher. She once breathed the free air and could no longer live in a cage. She once thought that She is not the same as those canaries-like noble ladies, who are weak and can only accept the fate arranged by others, but like a chick, she can choose her own future.

Facts proved her innocence, all illusions were emptied, and she felt as if she had been deceived by hope, and then ruthlessly abandoned.

Tears fell on the floor like a bead with a broken thread, and the Qianjin lady cried helplessly.

While crying, Faina remembered her days in the Ring of Trade Winds. It was the first time she had left the empire to venture. She thought it was the most terrible encounter in her life—a terrible one. Hunk, not only did she lose face, but she even tried to teach her several times. Even the commander of the army did nothing to him-but what happened at that time is not worth mentioning at all, and it is now recalled. Some faint warm feeling.

"If only I could get back to that time--"

Faina was taken aback by her own idea, and then she fell into lamentation over the current predicament.

"Brando ... Brando ..."

Faina had a fever, her hot forehead was against the cold iron wall, and her mind couldn't help thinking about it, as if these wild ideas could dispel the worry in her heart. She suddenly remembered that Brando had arrived in the empire and was not close to himself, but he would never know the situation he was facing right now, and he might also think he could help him and save his men. But the duke, who used to be high above him, can hardly protect himself at present. His future and destiny are unknown, and maybe he will die tomorrow, or he may die.

The thought that he might die in such an unknown name, the guy may not know the news of his death. Perhaps many years later, the guy finally remembered himself, and thought: "Oh, the one named Faina Girl, when she was young, she had adventures with her, but unfortunately she hasn't heard anything about her for a long time. ’

When thinking of such a thing, Faina's heart was dangling, and her eyes became dark.

Brando soon got the news that Rodney's ship was out of port, and as he expected, this guy didn't even see Baron Metz's face for the sake of confidentiality. It was a skill to be cautious so far. . This also made this guy escape a disaster, or as soon as they entered the castle, Brando would order to close the net, and Rodney would not be able to fly even if he inserted wings. At the moment, only a backup scheme can be used to allow the fleet that stays in the open sea to block Rodney's ships.

He didn't think about detaining the other party in the port, but he has just taken over the port and has not dispelled the suspicions of the lower and middle officials in the port. It is unwise to regenerate the incident at this time, not to mention Alcons The Count has not decided to stand on the opposite side of the Silver Queen completely. At this critical moment, Brando was afraid to fight the grass and scare the snake and had to arrange the battlefield to the sea.

But he was not afraid that Rodney would run away.

Rodney's battleship is one of the imperial fast ships, but unfortunately such a prominent warship docked in the port. It was hard to notice when the Eruin took over the port. Marjorie immediately put This conspicuous battleship report was reported to Shire-Navy warships rarely act alone, especially this type of clippers are generally used to convey information or perform special tasks-they quickly found out about Rodneys The clues to the messenger heading to Fattan Port, in fact, it was through this method that they learned about the team.

So Brando had arranged for someone to do something on this ship, replaced the quality of the magic crystal used as the power source of the floating battleship, and also removed some spare sails. Rodney was anxious to leave the port, and did not check carefully- In fact, I did not expect to check it, because the warship has been docked in the port, who will come to trouble the Imperial Navy if nothing is wrong? And all this is already doomed to his end.

Three Bugatti floating warships pretending to be empire patrol ships with red sails left the port early, waiting in the open sea for the Rodney ship.
