Chapter 448 The King's Decision

After taking over Nazca Town and Pisa Town, Ronin and Redar entered the rest period as planned.

Many empty houses in the town were just right for the soldiers to stay.

Even the food and grass did not need to be transported from the shore city, and the food reserves in the town were enough for them to consume for a while.

Ronin used the Wings of Wind to travel back and forth between the two towns to discuss and determine the time to attack Moonlight City.

Although they won a great victory in the battles in the two towns, the rapid march and fierce fighting caused huge consumption. The army needed at least two to three days to recover before they could cope with the more difficult battle of Moonlight City.

So the time they finally determined was to join forces outside Moonlight City on August 24.

Of course, this is only assuming that the other party will hold on.

If Jesus took the initiative to lead the team out of the city to attack, then their strategy and attack time would have to change accordingly.

However, according to Ronin's guess, Jesus is unlikely to leave the city. After all, they have a greater advantage by relying on the city.

Golden Feather Palace, Alduin Hall

Mel, the intelligence minister of the kingdom, was reporting to Bruno the news that had been circulating in the streets and alleys of Jinyu City in the past two days.

"The news that Earl Osen of Wushan Territory became a foreign race in the first half of the year has spread to every corner of the kingdom, and all the nobles know the evil and terror of the Wuhun Clan."

Mel bowed and reported: "Based on this cognition, the fact that Jesus is a Wuhun Clan is simply a hot spot. Wandering swordsmen, wandering poets, and many mercenary groups have marked Moonlight Valley as dangerous. There are even voices asking the royal family to find out the truth of the matter."

Bruno frowned, and the faces of the high-ranking nobles in the hall at that time flashed through his mind. Who could have leaked this matter?

He rubbed his brows, feeling worried about his guess: "This news came from the Wushan family, right?"

"Your Majesty is wise, and he guessed who spread the rumor at once."

"Among the nobles present that day, Wushan Castle is the most likely."

Mel smiled and said: "To be precise, the people of the Wushan family are not rigorous enough. I found the source without much investigation."

Bruno pondered for a moment, wondering if the other party was deliberately not rigorous?

"What is their purpose in doing this?"

Just as he was thinking, a royal knight walked in and saluted: "Your Majesty, Albert, the political officer of Wushan Castle, is outside asking to see you. He said he is carrying a very important letter from the Marquis of Wushan."

Bruno had a bad premonition, "Go, bring him here to see me immediately!"

Tram, tramp, tramp...

There was a hurried sound of footsteps, but another royal knight ran over, "Your Majesty, the Intelligence Department received a letter from Moonlight Valley, and the letter is of the highest level!"

Bruno's heart was a little panicked.

Mel took two steps at a time and came to the knight to receive the letter. He immediately opened it and read it, and then his face changed drastically: "Your Majesty, Marquis Wushan led his troops to attack Moonlight Valley and has already captured Nazca Town and Pisa Town!"

"Rulans..."

Bruno's eyebrows twisted into a "Chuan" character, and he walked down the throne to receive the letter. The more he read, the more angry he became.

"Wushan Territory, how dare you?"

In his expectation, Moonlight Valley, Screaming Island and the Principality of Vera must have invaded Wushan Territory in the form of pirates and bandits, and the latter would send troops to suppress them as before.

In the end, under the joint efforts of Moonlight Valley and other three parties, even though Wushan Territory had a lot of high-level combat power, its low- and middle-level combat power was always in a state of loss.

Without a good foundation of low- and middle-level knights, the threat to the kingdom with only a few high-level extraordinary people was limited.

In this process, Moonlight Valley, Screaming Island and the Principality of Vera must have suffered losses.

The four parties fought, and the royal family was the final winner.

But Bruno never expected that Wushan Territory would take the initiative to attack and openly invade the noble territory.

"Go, let Broll come immediately!" Bruno roared.

Mel looked at the knight who ran out and turned back to ask: "Your Majesty, are you going to send the Griffin Knights to help Moonlight Valley and attack Wushan Territory?"

Bruno did not answer, but turned back and sat quietly on the throne.

If this happened before the announcement of the marriage between the royal family and Wushan Castle, he could consider sending troops to force Wushan Castle to withdraw its troops and pay the price of invading the royal nobles.

Even if Wushan Castle did not listen to his negotiations, he could order a trial on the charge of treason.

But now, to be honest, his situation is a bit embarrassing.

Ronin and Blanche will get married in less than four months, and the Golden Feather Palace is preparing for this. Isn't it funny that Bruno turned around and announced that the Wushan family was a traitor?

In that case, where would he put his face?

While thinking, the royal knight took Albert into the hall.

As the Minister of State of Wushan Territory, Albert had seen a lot of things, but this was the first time for him to enter the palace to pay respect to the king.

Although he was nervous, he did not lose his manners.

"Albert, the Minister of State of Wushan Territory, pays respect to His Majesty the King!"

Bruno had a cold face and a cold voice: "Stand up."

Albert smiled slightly. He knew that this time he entered the palace with danger. Even when he left Wushan City, he had already written a suicide note and made a good explanation.

He took out a letter from his arms, "Your Majesty, this is a letter from my master, the Marquis of Wushan Territory, to you."

Mel took the letter, and since it was not sent by an intelligence agency, he did not open it, but forwarded it directly to the kingdom.

When Bruno opened the seal, Albert said: "The Marquis told me that Count Jesus has become a minion of the Shaman Clan and is endangering the nobles around Moonlight Valley. Viscount Milk Lucio of Wave Castle has He was persecuted by Jesus, and that’s why Jesus owned the port of Wavecastle.”

"But at the founding celebration, he continued to pretend to be Your Majesty's brother, deceiving you and also deceiving many nobles."

Albert solemnly said: "For the honor of His Majesty the King, for the safety of the Wushan Territory, and for the safety of all nobles and civilians in the Kingdom of Alduin, the Marquis decided to lead the team to attack Moonlight Valley, even if he exhausted all his strength , we must also kill the aliens and capture Count Jesus and hand them over to Your Majesty for trial!”

Bruno read the letter and listened to Albert's story, the expression on his face was visibly solemn.

Melmo stroked the ring on his finger and thought to himself: "No wonder Rulans wants to spread the news that Jesus is from the Soul Shaman Clan. It turns out that this is the reason."

Such propaganda will only allow Leader Wushan to stand on the moral high ground. Even if His Majesty the King wants to object, there is no way around finding out Jesus' identity.

So, is Jesus a foreigner or a normal person?

I'm afraid that Dean Faslay of the Royal Academy of Magic will not be able to say anything by then, and he will probably have to ask the Grand Magister Belora Silva to come forward and confirm it to be convincing.

Berola is not loyal in the traditional sense, and he seems to have a good relationship with Luo Ning, so he might be able to speak fairly when the time comes.

Bruno's expression changed again and again, and finally he slowly put away the letter. When he raised his head again, his previous indifference had softened a lot.

"Rulans listed in detail the evidence that Jesus is a Soul Shaman in the letter, and also listed the crimes Jesus committed. It is unbelievable that my biological brother has become an evil alien!"

He looked at Albert and regained some of his smile, "I am moved by Marquis Thunder's loyalty to the royal family and his determination to safeguard the honor of the royal family!"

Jesus is a foreigner, and he knows this.

When he first decided to cooperate with Jesus, he was a little worried. After all, seeking the skin of a tiger would involve the risk of being injured by the tiger.

Judging from Moonlight Valley's recent actions against surrounding nobles, this tiger is indeed restless.

Foreign races cannot be restrained by pure aristocratic etiquette and laws.

Bruno saw that the Kingdom of Tricia was in chaos, and that he might become a great emperor. He did not want to cause the king to collude with foreigners at this time, which would damage his prestige.

So, it's time to give up on Jesus.

Now Lulans has made this clear and has given him steps so that he can just follow them down.

Moreover, if only the Wushan leader takes over Moonlight City alone, it will definitely pay a huge price.

This is consistent with Bruno's purpose of weakening the Wushan Territory.

"It will be very difficult for the Wushan Territory to clear the Moonlight Valley alone. I have prepared to ask Deputy Captain Broll of the Griffin Knights to go to support."

Bruno said: "Albert, you are tired after coming all the way. Go down and rest."

Albert was a little surprised.

He could feel that His Majesty the King was unhappy before, why was he so kind all of a sudden?

This kind of thing is not something he can ask. Anyway, for him, this level is passed.

After returning, his status as an honorary baron was finally established.

"Your Majesty, do you want to support Wushanbao?"

He just thought he was going to send the Griffin Knights to support Moonlight Valley.

Bruno nodded.

Support is definitely needed, but it’s not certain when it will arrive.

They have to finish the battle between Wushan Territory and Moonlight Valley by themselves. (End of chapter)
