Release that Witch Chapter 499: Prelude to war

Greycastle Kingdom Capital, a mansion with a garden in the inner city.

Since His Royal Highness Roland Wimbledon launched a surprise attack on the Royal Palace and destroyed the Heavenly Palace, the status of Tasa has risen to a higher level. All members of Pigeon and Hat respect him and the intelligence organization is truly stable.

In addition to these core personnel, the operation for more than half a year has allowed Tasa to influence the decision of Skeleton Finger, and the movements of other Mouse organizations are basically clear whether he is in the patrol team or on the black street. The eyeliner he bought, if he just had to inquire about it and get money, these people don't care who he is for. The place that still cannot penetrate is the upper layer noble, which is a place where family and title are concerned. gold royal alone can't play any role, but with the Mouse leader who is inextricably related to the big noble, some news that is not too important also Can often leak into his ears.

Like the one he heard now.

"Timothy will send a team of about 500 people to block the Scarlet Water River road?" Tasa tapped the chair armrail, "He really intends to do this?"

"Yes," said Rock in a low, muffled voice, "At least half of them are Blood Sailing Club Mouse, this is what the boss said personally. Because it was a fat, yesterday, the gang also had an internal concubine, which killed or injured five or six."

"It's a fat poor," Clown whistled. "Think about what they can intercept? Merchant shipping! What are the consequences of violating the King ban? Of course, the goods are confiscated and then extorted. Last time! Is there anything better than Mouse for this kind of thing? Of course ... the patrol is not bad.

"Since the inside is Mouse, I think the other half is the Phantom King's Guard," Hill Fawkes said calmly. "This morning, someone noticed that there were four eagle-headed ships in the outskirts of dock."

Tasa can't help frowning. The eagle-headed ship is an inland river warship, with a slender hull, sails and paddles, and fast speed. There are raised angles of collision below the waterline, and iron hooks are also arranged on both sides of the ship's side. Once they catch up with the target, they can be locked tightly, so that the soldiers on the ship can jump over to fight, and it is difficult for general merchant ships to escape its pursuit.

"So the integration of information is that the pseudo-king intends to send a fleet of five hundred people to intercept Scarlet Water River, including four warship and more than two hundred heavily armed guards?" He sighed secretly, "This Not great news. "

Timothy ’s plan to block commercial roads was released before Months of Demons, but at that time, most people thought that he would set the checkpoint on the canal nearby. The complete ban on commerce with Western Region's was just talking. After all, Silver Light City Neither feudal lord nor Scarlet Water City would be happy to see that they lost a lot of money for an inexplicable order. Forcibly setting the checkpoint on the border between Western Region and the middle will only allow the local feudal lord to black-handedly eliminate these checkpoints.

But with four warships, situation is different. First of all, other feudal lords have almost no water combat capabilities. warship follows Scarlet Water River freely. The caravan may be intercepted at any place. Even if you want to move your knife in the back There is no way to start. Secondly, this reaction shows that Timothy is determined to deal with Western Region's, even if it will be evil with other feudal lord, he is determined to do so.

Tasa looked at Hill, and the latter nodded at him, and seemed to think of it, "Timothy is likely not to set a fixed level, but to use Scarlet Water River to attack any caravans seen. When they are fighting on water, they are Pirates, shore thugs are robbers. The size of five hundred people is a nightmare for any caravan. In this way, Western Region may really be cut off from supplies. "

"I will report this message to Your Highness as soon as possible," Tasa whispered.

Border Town purchased a large amount of food, clothing, and ore natural resource in the previous year. Now it has annexed Longsong Stronghold. The theoretically required materials will be further expanded. If the trade line is cut off, it will be a great deal for His Highness the Prince. Trouble, I don't know if he can solve this difficult thing smoothly.

At this moment, the sound of flapping wings came from the garden.

Tasa got up and pushed open the backyard door. A gray urn rushed into the room like Lightning, and hovered and landed on his shoulder.

Seeing a letter from Western Region, the circus members all stroked their chests and bowed their heads in order to show Esteemed.

Tasa Take off the note and spread it, quickly scanning the content on the secret letter, my heart jumped!

"Hah ... haha," and then he couldn't help laughing out, although he knew that as an intelligence officer, he shouldn't reveal his expression, but the news came too surprisingly and made him uncontrollable. Live in the joy of bottom of heart, "It seems we don't have to worry about it."

"Already know His Highness the Prince?" Hill asked, looking up.

"No, he is going to fundamentally solve the problem soon," he said in a low voice.

"Basically?" Clown wondered, "You mean ..."

"Yes, Your Highness First Army has set off, the goal is Kingdom Capital!" Tasa clenched his fist, "It's time to pull Timothy down Throne!"

Although he knew that His Royal Highness would launch an operation this year, he did not expect to be kept secret so soon. His Highness did not tell him a specific plan of action. Until today, he did not know that the offensive was actually scheduled in the spring, and it happened to be in the spring. Spring plowing time node.

"I finally ... wait until this day," Hill take a deep breath, suddenly kneel on one knee said, "What is your order, please do not hesitate."

The other five also knelt down, "For the new King!"

The spirit of Tasa is stirred up. Yes, he thought that if Timothy falls, Roland Wimbledon will become the only Greycastle heir. He will take the crown and be crowned as the king. He may also jump into the upper level of power. A new step that I have never thought of before.

As for the success of this war, whether Timothy can block His Highness Roland, he did not even consider it. No one who has witnessed the First Army battle will have any doubts about the results of the spring offensive.

"His Highness' order is not to approach the West city gate area on the day of the siege. At the same time, Mouse should be restrained as much as possible to restore the post-war order as soon as possible." Tasa said slowly according to the second half of the secret letter. Provide assistance within the means of the civilians in distress, such as medical treatment, containment and food supply, and transfer it to First Army after order is stable.

"Just ... like this?" Everyone looked at each other, "No need to lie to city gate, or set fire to attract the attention of the garrison?"

"That's what Your Highness means," Tasa put away the stationery and smiled. These orders are indeed like Roland's style of action, focusing more on the people and order, rather than forcing intelligence personnel to participate in the battle. In addition, the order also stated that he did not take into account Timothy's resistance at all. (To be continued.)
