Chapter 500 The Prince and the Queen
"What are you calling me for? I have to guard the door."
"Well, what's going on in the North? How are we going to support the Skitarii? Do you have a plan?"
"It has been a long time since then. Ash should have brought people there by now. It won't be long before there are results."
Xiu Si blinked, with a bad feeling in his heart: "You are not going to let the banshees rush to Sleddingburg directly?"
Given Nini's personality, it's not impossible for her to do this. As for the banshees, they have long wanted to have a fierce fight.
It's not impossible to just rush over like this, but it will cause a lot of trouble.
First, it would expose the existence of a large number of banshees. Zeus was not prepared to hide the banshees, but the appearance of so many at once would definitely attract the church, and the North would then be in chaos for a long time.
The second is that it is likely to alert the enemy. If they rush over directly, the resistance army can be rescued, but the remaining three archdukes and Count Bazel have made preparations in advance.
Others might worry about getting into a tough fight or being ganged up on by the other side, but it’s different for Hughes.
He was worried that the other side would run away. This would be a very troublesome thing. If Count Bazel really abandoned everything and chose to run away, Hughes really had no good solution.
In order to go to the North, he had to build railway tracks all the way there. If Basel went directly to the Empire, would he turn the railway around and then continue to build tracks there?
When will Basil's head be hung in the cathedral of Castres?
Xius's eyes became more and more unfriendly. If Nini really did such a rash thing, she would never be able to write a report again!
Nini took a few steps back, wagged her tail with a wry smile, "No, no, of course not. How could I just let everyone go? I just scheduled some more interviews for everyone, and let my mother-in-law contact them first."
"Mother-in-law, is everything okay?"
The North is not peaceful, there are many extraordinary people hiding everywhere, and the [Nymph] of the Fire Chaser Moth is not very good at fighting. "There is a problem. She always likes to fight with people everywhere. I suspect that she may delay the trip, so I also let Isaac go with her. By the way, Isaac has joined my regiment and may go to the front line with me to interview."
There are only a few extraordinary people in the Fire Moth Group. Richard is specialized in research and not good at fighting, not to mention Chloe. Before Isaac came back, he had to rely on his mother-in-law.
The process of training extraordinary people is much slower than producing equipment on an assembly line. The Fire Moths on Caster's side are just at normal speed.
I heard that they were planning to train Gaia to become a transcendent being, and they had been preparing materials for this purpose. This preparation took more than half a year, and the low efficiency made Xius feel uncomfortable.
Nini sighed, "Ever since my mother-in-law got the Dragon Breath Cannon, she's been looking for fights. She has two Dragon Breath Cannons and has become famous in the North. Basically, no [Investigator] would mess with her."
The corner of Zeus's eye twitched. His mother-in-law usually looked peaceful and kind, so how could one not see that she was so wild inside? "I hope everything goes well with the resistance army."
"Don't worry, lord. The resistance army will be fine. The coalition forces of the three archdukes have been wiped out by us. There is no force left in the North that can be used."
Hughes remained noncommittal. Since he had already sent people to contact the resistance, all he had to do was see how things developed in the future.
If everything goes well, the resistance forces can be brought over directly. If it is not convenient for them to come, it won’t take much time to build the railway in Castel.
Now that Castel's railway has been laid to the northern border, no matter how slow those nobles are, they should have noticed this railway after the defeat of the coalition forces.
There will probably be some fighting around the railway next, and the expeditionary force has already prepared for it.
After Nini left, Xius looked at the other person who walked into the room with some surprise.
"Alexei, what's wrong?"
This former clerical manager, now the Imperial Archbishop of Truth, has always been very busy. Why did he suddenly come here today?
Zeus's expression turned serious. It must be no small matter for him to come here in person.
But there was a rare hesitation in Alexei's expression. After entering the room, he did not come over directly, but turned around and closed the door, then looked at the window that had obviously just been repaired.
"My Lord, here"
"It's very safe here. This is Castel Cathedral. Next to it is the Banshee Duty Room. Are you in trouble?"
"Well, it's not a problem, but I suddenly remembered something."
Alexei sat on the chair, his eyes wandering.
"Is it related to Castel?"
"I guess so. That was a long time ago. Before I came to Castel, I was summoned by the Queen as the top graduate of the Royal Army Academy, and received guidance from the head of her Knights. That was when I got the chance to challenge him."
Alexei narrated slowly as he recalled.
"Don't be afraid of you laughing at me. At that time, I not only brought my long sword, but also secretly put a musket on my waist. No one said that I couldn't fight with a musket. After all, I am a graduate of the Royal Military Academy. Winning with a musket might even help me win the favor of the Queen."
"Failed?"
"Yes, he is terribly strong. He can see through any of my moves before they are made. Every time he makes a backhand move, he can always predict my attack route. It looks as if I deliberately hit his sword."
There was a gleam in Alexei's eyes.
"I didn't take out the musket in the end. He had seen through my thoughts a long time ago, but he didn't point it out. He left such a deep impression on me that I can never forget it."
At this point, Alexei let out a long breath, mustered up the courage to speak, "My Lord, I feel like there is someone who looks very much like the Knight Commander."
"Galahad."
After saying this name, he felt more relaxed, as if a burden had been lifted from his heart.
Hughes was silent.
He naturally knew what this meant.
The extraordinary path of the [Knight] is bound to the oath. A [Knight] can only have one object of loyalty, which can be a family, a bloodline, or a person.
If Galahad is really the former Grand Master of the Knights of Her Majesty the Queen, then to what is he loyal?
The prince is a descendant of Grand Duke Tis and has almost no relationship with the royal family.
Then the answer will be obvious.
"How sure are you?"
"I'm not sure, Lord. There is no similarity between the two of them, whether in appearance or temperament, but I just have this feeling vaguely."
Hughes stood up slowly.
Galahad Knight Prince Queen.
