"...The ability to thwart the conspiracy of Midella and Mr. Ho depends on your support. On behalf of the imperial soldiers and citizens of the Western Region in Storm Fortress, I would like to express my gratitude to you..."
Reinhard the Great was reclining on a sofa chair with his eyes closed and a hot towel on his forehead. He looked like he was overworked and had an unbearable headache.
A group of imperial nobles stood respectfully in front of the sofa chairs and listened to Emperor Reinhardt's message. Even if some people noticed that the emperor's tone and posture were a little strange, they would only think that it was caused by physical discomfort.
"...So after a comprehensive consideration, I decided to lead the army to withdraw from the Storm Fortress."
Hearing this, the Duke of Southland couldn't help but raised his head and glanced at the emperor on the sofa suspiciously.
In the previous chaos, he was secretly detained by Queen Midella and others because of his opposition to the sacrifice plan, and he was released again until the situation stabilized, so he was a bit at a loss for the completely subverted situation in the fortress today.
Now, I am even more surprised by the sudden change of attitude of Emperor Reinhardt.
This stubborn and stubborn emperor actually agreed to withdraw his troops?
The Duke of St. Landers exchanged glances with the Yeruger beside him, and then asked:
"Your Majesty, where are you going to retreat?"
"The Loire Valley." Reinhard the Great replied lightly. .
Not only the Duke of St. Landers, but the rest of the imperial nobles were also taken aback.
Isn't this Marquis Garcia's strategy?
But...Emperor Reinhardt wanted to strip Marquis Garcia to his skin and torn his corpse into tens of thousands of pieces.
Why are you ready to adopt his strategy now?
This is not the emperor's style!
Everyone turned their attention to Emperor Reinhardt on the sofa chair, but found that the other party had his eyes tightly closed, and there was no expression on his face.
"Do you have any opinions?" Emperor Reinhardt asked indifferently, and there was no joy or anger in his tone.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a while.
Immediately, Colin asked:
"Your Majesty, since you are ready to adopt Marquis Garcia's strategy, are you ready to pardon him for treason?"
"No." Reinhard the Great said coldly, "He is still responsible for the fall of the Western Territory, but if the Loire Valley blockade is successful this time, I can allow him to make up for his faults and forgive his previous sins."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Colin seemed to be very satisfied with this, and did not make any more demands.
The Duke of St. Landers watched with a cold eye, but he understood that although the emperor did not immediately pardon Marquis Garcia, he was actually relieved, and he specially found a reason for the other party to atone for his sins.
Such an attitude is simply an earth-shaking change.
Duke St. Landers immediately looked at Duke St. Grian again.
You must know that the person who hates Marquis Garcia the most here must be her.
But the strange thing is that when Emperor Reinhardt was about to pardon Marquis Garcia, Duke St. Grian just frowned slightly and did not express any objection.
what happened?
The Duke of St. Landers was in a trance for a while, he couldn't help but wonder—
What happened to Storm Fortress during the time when you were detained?
The Duke of St. Landers actually agrees with Marquis Garcia's strategy, but he also knows that this strategy requires a huge price, and this price is borne by the West Territory and the Scarlet Flame Territory.
This is also the fundamental reason why Duke St. Grian and Emperor Reinhardt firmly opposed Marquis Garcia before.
Now that the Western Territory has fallen, but Fei Yan leads...
"Okay, since you have no opinion, then tomorrow morning, immediately withdraw from the fortress." Emperor Reinhardt ordered decisively, "Immediately arrange for the refugees in the fortress to start evacuation, and notify the major lords west of the Loire Valley to let They arranged for the evacuation of the people and enforced the fortification of the walls..."
When the Duke of Saint Landes saw this, no matter how surprised he was, he also knew that Emperor Reinhardt had completely abandoned the large territory west of the Loire Valley.
What exactly motivated him to make such a decision?
Does it really depend on Count Angele's mouth?
While pondering, I saw Emperor Reinhardt open his eyes and asked:
"Have you found the queen?"
Colin replied: "Only found the queen's clothes and a pile of ashes... We suspect that Her Royal Highness the Queen might have forcibly started the sacrificial ceremony when there were not enough sacrifices, causing himself to be drained of his vitality by the magic circle..."
"Humph! It's your fault!" Emperor Reinhardt sneered and said, "I gave my order that Midella St. Hilde colluded with Mr. Gu, in an attempt to sacrifice the storm fortress and slaughter the empire's soldiers and people, the sin is unforgivable!
Here I deprive her of the queen's position for treason! "
The nobles were not at all surprised by this. It was already doomed that the queen was deposed as the bearer of this unsuccessful sacrifice ceremony.
However, such a major event as the post-abolition requires a written order.
I saw that the attendant immediately stepped forward and spread out a roll of parchment, and wrote the emperor's decree on it.
After writing it, it was handed to Emperor Reinhardt the Great.
Emperor Reinhardt checked it and confirmed that there was no problem, then picked up the quill and signed his name on it.
"Okay. If there is nothing else, go down and prepare." Emperor Reinhard waved his hand, as if tired.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
A group of nobles immediately took orders to retreat.
After going out, the Duke of St. Landers whispered to the Master Yarug:
"Why did Your Majesty change his attitude? Could it be that the catastrophe of the Storm Fortress has finally awakened him?"
Master Yarug shook his head slightly and said:
"I don't know. His Majesty's attitude is indeed very strange, and the Duke of St. Grian is also a little abnormal."
The Duke of St. Landers immediately nodded in agreement: "So, what happened to Storm Fortress these two days?"
Maester Yaluger thought for a while and suggested, "Maybe we should talk to Earl Angele. I always feel that he is the one behind the changes in the situation in Storm Fortress."
"That's right." The Duke of St. Landers nodded in agreement, "The development of the situation is completely in accordance with the plan of the North, and His Majesty seems to be preparing to rehabilitate Marquis Garcia... If there is no such change, No one would believe Count Angele's intervention..."
Just when the two were about to find Colin in the crowd, they saw that one of them found him first.
"The Duke of St. Landers."
"Consul Fred, what's the matter?" Duke St. Landers turned around and smiled.
He recognized the person who was the consul of the royal family in the Senate—Fred San Lorenzo.
This man is also the son of the previous Lathom consul. After Lathom was "killed" by Prince Leahy, Fred inherited his position in the Senate.
"Your Majesty." Consulate Frederic stopped the Duke of St. Landers, and when the other nobles walked away, he asked in a low voice, "Have you noticed the abnormality of Your Majesty tonight?"
Duke St. Landers' eyes flickered slightly and said, "You mean... Your Majesty's attitude?"
"Yes." Archon Fred nodded, "but it's not just this..."
"Is there anything unusual?"
"I don't know if you have noticed that when His Majesty signed the decree, he used his right hand..."
The Duke of St. Landers was startled, as if he had remembered something, and immediately turned to look at Maester Yarug.
Maester Yaluger instantly understood what Duke St. Landers was thinking, nodded affirmatively, and said solemnly:
"I remember that His Majesty is left-handed!"
