To a large extent, this coup was too hasty. There were only three days from the initial formulation of the plan to the arrival in the Kingdom of Zegus, but Perenlius made a comprehensive plan abruptly, and Haidee After reading it, I still felt that it was possible to implement it, but the risk was still not small. After all, in such a rushed time, no matter how resourceful Pernrius was, he couldn't do it in a flawless manner.
This is enough for Haidee. Pernleius's plan is much better than she expected. Now time is the biggest enemy. If you don't speed up and dare to take action before the devil, then the devil will Just as Pernleus said, squeeze the entire Kingdom of Zegus to the maximum extent, clap your hands and leave after eating and wiping it clean, and then wait for the people and the Holy Capital of the entire Kingdom of Zegus to bear all the losses.
No matter how time is running out, no matter how imperfect the plan is, we must strike first before the devils and cultists. Even if we cannot completely stop the other party, we must minimize the losses.
After arriving at the border city in the Kingdom of Zegus, the Saints also brought good news to Haidee, and they agreed to assist Haidee in this coup.
During the discussion, El Cid and others once again took out the communication magic device that had been working. However, this time after the magic device started working, it only made a lot of unknown noises. Several saints did not understand engraving. I don't understand law, so the only thing I can do is to activate the magic device according to the instructions. Now I am helpless when encountering this kind of problem.
After arriving at the border city of Yuca of the Kingdom of Zegus, the steward of the convoy entering the city immediately reported to the local city officials about the attack by cultists on the way, and the city officials could only promise to send personnel to the attack site to investigate and report the incident. Reported to the Holy Capital and the Royal Capital, but for the loss of the convoy, only Aimu could help.
A large amount of goods had to be abandoned because of the lack of carriages. In addition to the loss of goods, liquidated damages from the commercial contract were also added. Although it was due to attacks by cultists, the other party's chamber of commerce did not care if there was a commercial contract. So much, when buying things from your chamber of commerce, you are naturally responsible for the safety of transportation. Anyway, I just need to see that you can deliver the required goods on time. If you fail to reach the agreement in the contract, then I'm sorry, please pay according to the indemnity agreement.
For a while, the manager was so anxious that he could only keep reporting to the upper levels of the chamber of commerce, hoping that the upper levels could send personnel to handle the matter.
In order to avoid being asked 'politely' by local officials in the city of Qom about the details of the incident. As soon as they arrived in Yuca City, the Saints immediately rented a carriage and several horses with Haidee and Pernleius, took Gomela, who was still in a coma, out of the city, and At Haidee's request, she went to the territory of a lord who supported her in the political situation.
Fortunately, not long after arriving at the territory checkpoint on the second day of departure, Haidee's maid Gomela finally woke up. Although the woman was still very weak, at least she was able to wake up, which proved that her injuries had improved a lot.
"Thank you to the Supreme God for your protection┉┉It's great that you are okay, Your Highness Princess┉┉" Looking at Haidee who was safe and sound, Gomela said gratefully with tears in her eyes.
"Gomela, your body is still very weak. Don't say any more. Just take a rest first. When we get to Lan Xiang's territory, I will find a mage to help you treat you." Seeing the maid wake up, Haidee's heavy heart finally felt better. A little more relaxed.
In response to Her Highness the Princess' kindness, Gomela grabbed Haidee's hand and said deeply: "No matter what, please be careful, Your Highness Princess┉┉In my dreams, I have always dreamed of you, and I have dreamed of you. You when I was a child┉┉I dreamed about the scene when I first saw you┉┉Those memories bit by bit┉┉Even in the most painful time, you were like my biological daughter, calling me. Guide me and help me finally climb out of the dark abyss┉┉"
"I will be careful with Gomela, so┉┉" Haidee held the hand of the maid who had grown up with her. After more than ten years of getting along with Gomela, she was equivalent to her second mother: "No matter what , and please don’t leave me.”
Outside the carriage, Orpheus, who was riding a horse, looked at the two people in the carriage, then raised the reins and let the horse run quickly to the front of the carriage, and outside the carriage, Peenlius was acting as the coachman.
"I still have to say thank you. Without your help, that woman probably wouldn't have woken up."
"I just gave her a little hope. In the end, it still depends on her own will."
Olphi stared at Pernleius: "You have great power. Pernleus! Why are you so hesitant to use your power to save others?"
Peenleus was silent for a moment and then raised his head and said, "I can't save anyone."
The voice of "I can't save anyone" gave off an aura of vicissitudes of life, as if he had been fighting in countless seas of blood for too long, and his heart had long since dried up. It's as if the cynical person has been forced to numbness by reality, which is both bored and angry. It's hard to figure out what he's thinking.
"But this time you saved┉┉"
"No!" Peenlius looked away and looked straight ahead: "The only one who can save anyone is himself."
Olphi was speechless for a moment. Peenlius, what exactly has this man experienced? He could vaguely sense that this man also longed to redeem others from the bottom of his heart, but he was also strangely opposed to doing so. This contradiction may be why he The reason for existing in this world is like a confused wanderer.
When we arrived at the checkpoint of Lan Linghua's territory, we encountered some obstacles. For some unknown reason, the entire Lan Linghua territory seems to be under martial law. The checkpoints are covered with guards on duty and even a mid-level mage is present. Except for businessmen with official certification from the Kingdom of Zegus, no one else is allowed to enter. Entering the territory of Lan Linghua, Haidee, who cannot reveal the identity of the princess in the group, and the outsiders such as Saint Seiya and Pernleius are even more unable to enter the territory of Lan Linghua.
After being blocked, Haidee wanted to directly take out the royal emblem as proof of the princess, but this move was blocked by Pernleus.
"Penrius is right. The situation in the entire Zegus Kingdom is currently unclear. If you expose your identity here, it will be like putting everyone in the open." Elcid also helped.
"What should we do?" Haidee was a little anxious: "If I can't even see Count Raymond, I won't be able to contact the people in the country at all now."
Peenleus drove the carriage and began to take a detour: "We are coming at night."
Haidee, who had no idea what he meant, had no choice but to believe in Peenlius, and everyone stopped not far from the checkpoint. Fortunately, the saints' space equipment had a lot of food stored in it, in addition to a lot of fresh food. There were also some canned foods that had never appeared in another world. In addition, some high-calorie chocolate and energy drinks for emergency use were also packed inside, and now they were all taken out by the Saints.
"Let me take a look, um~ it says that you only need to boil the water, then pour the solidified matter inside and wait for ten minutes. It's really convenient." As the previous generation of Saints born in the Renaissance, the first Seeing something like a can for the first time made Kaludia as excited as a child who got a new toy.
"Kaludia~Why aren't the people from Perenlius here?"
When El Cid and Alubioni picked up some branches and came back to make a fire, they suddenly found that Peenlius had disappeared.
While he was still studying, Kaludia waved his hand and said boredly: "That guy went to find out the news, and said he didn't have to wait for dinner."
Soon the bonfire was raised, and after boiling a bucket of hot water, Kaludia opened several cans and poured them in without caring about anything. At the same time, he also took out some fresh vegetables and gave them to Elxi. De, looking at Kaludia's malicious smile, Elshid knew exactly what he was thinking. After taking out the dagger he was carrying, under Kaludia's disappointed eyes, Elshid took the vegetables Chop it into pieces and put it in. The hot water quickly dissolves the solidified fat, and the rich and tangy aroma makes everyone's appetites whet their appetite.
Haidee was a little surprised when she looked at the pot of hot broth. She picked up the empty can on the ground and looked at it again and again. This kind of thing called a can is really convenient, and it can actually last for a year. Deterioration, such a long storage time is a precious food for both travelers and mercenaries. You must know that it is not easy to eat hot broth full of color and fragrance when walking in the wild, and not only They are travelers and mercenaries. If they can produce this kind of canned goods in large quantities, it will also reduce the burden on the transportation and storage of military rations.
However, Haidee looked at the thin layer of iron. It was probably not an easy task to make the iron as thin as paper.
A bowl of broth was served. Strictly speaking, the broth was served to Haidee. However, Her Royal Highness did not eat it herself but instead took it to the maid who was taking care of her in the carriage. Such a move made several Saints... He became fond of Haidee, and his dissatisfaction with being forced to be involved in this coup d'état was invisibly reduced.
In the middle of eating, El Cid took out the magic device and started playing with it, but it still made constant noises, as if it was malfunctioning. No matter how hard El Cid slapped it, it had no effect.
It was only when El Cid was about to give up completely that Pernrius also returned. After declining the bowl handed over by El Cid, Pernrius directly told the reason for the martial law in Lan Linghua territory.
"Why was Count Raymond assassinated?" Haidee was immediately surprised when she heard this.
Peenlius nodded and said: "Yes, fortunately Earl Raymond was only slightly injured and nothing serious. However, the Earl's son suddenly disappeared on the day of the assassination. Martial law is now in Lan Linghua territory. A large-scale search was launched for the earl’s son.”(~^~)
