章節 54: PROOF OF LOYALTI (1)
Few days later.
Red District, Earl Fritz Hayes's brothel camouflaged as Five-Star Hotel
-----------------------
" There is some serious matters we need to talk." Herman Dirkse breaking the silence. The other three of his colleague were still immersed in liquor and women.
" What is it Captain ?" Evenhart van der Schuere, he gave a code to drive the women out of the room. With some teasing giggling, they were out of the room.
" According to the agreement, we had to provide an army to support the new King. It's not also for our benefit, to repress any resistance. It has been pass a week but I haven't receive any news from them."
" Which forces did Governoor General Cowan sent for us ?"
" Four companies of Marcog Forces."
" That many?"
" Yes. The first and the second company were sent to mount Luwa. The third and fourth were stationed outside this city border."
Earl Frank Zonc, The Minister of Defence stood up suddenly. "Mount Luwa ? Seriously ? Have the mission accomplished ?"
"I don't know, Your Grace."
" As long as I know, there were no forces were dwelling there. There's no chance that your troops will coincidentally conflict with another military forces, unless.."
" Do you have an idea, Your Grace ?"
" Mount Luwa was a territory under Titan Family, our rival faction. But they were weakened now. Unless... your troops were coincidentally meet that barbaric Duchess."
" Could you tell us more, Your Grace."
" She was the childhood friend of current King. " Earl Frank Zonc shortly comment.
" Moreover, That King Ranu has a close relationship with Titan Family. Here, is my prediction, King Ranu had survived from the first killing attempt, he escaped and gain backup from Duchess forces. This force is the main reason yours lost contact. I have none proof yet, but that Duchess were the only one capable of doing it so." Earl Fritz Hayes present his prediction.
" Impossible ! The mighty Marcog Forces were not a newly recruited soldiers. They were experienced in countless battles. They also could not consider as an ordinary soldiers." Herman Dirkse refuted him.
" Then, might by your forces were ambushed in some unknown trap specialized only on that mountain. They were cornered and annihilated while the force were not ready yet." Frank Zonc spoken up his foresight based on his previous military experience.
" But how did the Duchess had such mighty troops? How did she know when to strike accurately ?" Herman still could not follow the conversation.
" Do you still believe none of your spies were betrayed you?" Frank Zonc doubt them.
" We don't deploy such spies to that duchess before. She looks too weak and powerless." Herman refute him. He looked so confuse and loss in the middle of nowhere. There were some part of the facts he could not be able to accept smoothly.
" I thought so. But, considering the facts that two of our company forces were a loss in her territory, we better change our assumption of her. She had strong backup, and we don't know who's behind her." Evenhart van der Schuere speak up his conclusion.
" She is dangerous."
" Indeed."
" Sure, even though I have tried to weaken her family, the potential danger lies within her was not reduced at all."
" How come ?"
" Her family has been reduced into two people only: She and her son, Myerlion. Myerlion did not marriage or had a descendant. I snatched her love and present her to the Prince."
" Exaggerate.."
" You're really wicked."
" Thank you for your compliment. So, actually the Titan Family were on the verge to extinct. But unknown from our eyes, she transform her family into klan and grow more dangerous. She herself still peerless in term of combat mage, and so does her son. There's no doubt again, they were dangerous."
" So, captain, what about your third company ?"
Herman shook his head. " I haven't receive any incoming messsage from them or the fourth company."
" Anihilating four companies of the Marcog forces, damn it, it never happened before!" Herman crush his own chair full of anger.
" That made our strength far weaker. The only Marcog Forces available here were the fifth company who had infiltrated this country since two months ago. For the rest we should relay on Second General Sirna's troops."
" Lets think about the counter measure. Anyone had an idea?"
" Absolutely we should call for backup from Thousand Cave Kingdoms. There were still existed four company of Marcog forces. Use the bird messenger-corp soon."
" I suggest you should also think about the escape King. Once he arrived here, our plan will be ruin. Just for an insurance, we should take a hostage from Royal family. I suggest we should arrest Princess Isvara then transport her to the Nevernia. Therefore, there were nothing they can do to resist us."
" Why did you suggest arresting her as hostage?"
" Because she's smart and sly. Unlike her brothers or average people here, she's stand out, too outstanding. She had idealism and her own thought. And she will only act according to her own value. Moreover, she can not be put under control, because she was a natural-born leader.
Her own value has put her to oppose us completely. She even dare to slap her own big brother, or even an elder like me. She is the only one who refuse the ascendent of a new King."
Those words put everyone into deep thought.
" If one day, a revolt or resistance were broke over, I believe that she will be the one who would stand in the front line as their leader, because she everything needs to stand out. She had a royal bloodline, she's smart, she had talent as a leader, she had idealism and principle. She's a threat for us."
"Then we must alienate her far from this land, far from her people under pretext of 'studying abroad'. This is a way to minimize our risk."
Everyone nodded.
And they're toast.
Without none realizing, a pair of eyes hiding in the shadow at the roof with glistening eyes, witnessing every scene without missing any moment or word.
