Chapter 1078 Lord Parker's Retaliation (Part-4)
Lord Bernard's claim about being able to shut off the water supply and make Alexander kneel sent a prickling pain surging through Achillas's whole body.
He abhorred the man. Not because the man had harmed in any way.
But because of how handsome the man was and much more so because he was someone other than the general who got to share his lord's bed.
It made Achillas extremely jealous.
And thus he would always try his best to make things difficult for Lord Bernard.
So now that the man here was claiming to be able to solve all their problems in one go, it of course made Achillas feel very uncomfortable.
But there was also very little he could do about it since his boss appeared to be very interested to hear the man out.
Thus having gotten the permission, Lord Bernard iterated,
"The underground channels are not fully submerged as General Achillas claims. No, even in their most filled state, such as during the rainy seasons, the chambers only reached up to a man's shoulders at the maximum. And now that it is winter, I doubt it will even reach our waist. The men will be easily walk to the selected sections."
"Mmmmmm, yes. And if we are still doubtful, we can always send some men to check it out."
No sooner had Lord Bernard revealed the state of the aqueducts, this sudden announcement of approval rang out from Lord Parker, which produced a great surprise inside the men in the room.
Even the slowest of them could read the fact the lord very much liked this plan, which was why he took the enthusiastic initiative to offer his suggestion.
And that too in much contrast with their original goal- to make the other man fumble and remove him from his post.
Up until now, the group had not been really looking here for an answer, but only for an excuse to make Lord Bernard fail.
But now it seemed the equation had changed.
As long as Lord Bernard could deliver what he was promising, it seemed Lord Parker was willing to let the man retain his post in the army.
It was something that even surprised Lord Bernard, while the displeased Achillas made one last attempt to make the handsome man stumble, as he turned to pose,
"My lord, what was the event that caused your family to ward off sections of the water supply?"
The general was really hoping here that the other side had been bluffing when he said that they had done something similar.
Because in his mind, being able to cut off not the whole supply but only a part of the supply sounded too incredulous.
And Achillas was not simply saying this out of thin air. But out of experience.
The experienced general had laid many sieges before. And he had dammed off entire rivers to cities too.
But then quickly convinced himself that it did not matter.
As long as the man could accomplish what he promised, Lord Parker would not mind even if his officers literally kissed the man's ass.
He could have this little time under the sun, as long as the man could rescue his wife and son.
Thus with this new strategy developed, Lord Parker decided to end the meeting for the day there, leaving the large war planning tent with the reminder, "Lord Bernard, I will leave you in charge of gathering all the men and material you will need for the doing all this. You will start the day after tomorrow."
By the sound of impatience in Lord Parker's voice, if it was not already approaching dusk today, Lord Parker might have actually ordered the man to start tomorrow.
Such was his concern for his family. The young man was surprisingly sentimental.
While Lord Bernard felt a bit of a shock hearing the tight deadline.
Here he thought he would at least have a week. Or maybe even two, during which the man planned to lounge and relish his newly found status.
So the strict demand made the task seem almost impossible.
It had to be noted that even when the family did these works, it took them time to prepare...to get everything in order.
So Lord Bernard initially thought of haggling with Lord Parker to get an extension.
But quickly recalling the absolute state the man had flown off to when Lady Miranda's messenger delivered the news about Miss Linda and Quentin, Lord Bernard wisely chose to keep quiet for now.
He understood that the young lord was under a lot of pressure, and had barely slept in the last 24 hours, as crisis after crisis assaulted the relatively inexperienced man.
This had naturally put him in a very foul mood.
Hence the handsome man decided to wait till morning to break the news- after the man had a good night's sleep and could think clearly.
So Lord Bernard sharply replied with an affirmation, and then expectantly looked forward to being invited to Lord Parker's bed, as a reward for coming up with such an excellent strategy.
Which he got, as the young lord vented his anger on the much larger man for the plight his wife and son were in, riding him roughly and making his rear sore.
And as this was going on, in the same vein, Alexander too got to enjoy that night- him by eating the curvy Queen of Adhania.
At the end of the day, in celebration of his first victory over Lord Parker, Lady Nanazin would accompany him to bed, and let him use her rear hole for the first time, the act thus forming a coincidental resonance with the other side.
Only the genders of the people each lord was having were changed.
In Alexander's case, the naked regal queen would spread her fair abundant fleshy cheeks by herself, and then allow the man pound her dirty pink hole to his heart's content, while she bit into the feathery pillow and let out amorous moans.
To Lady Nanazin, the feeling of being stretched and poked by Alexander was like no other and she would release so much warm dew that it could completely soak the sheets beneath her flower.
