Alien Knights

Chapter 512: Good show opening

Dawson House, late at night.

Through the cracks of the pleated windows, Rutledge looked towards the dark street, his face flickering and dimming by the candlelight.

"Master, the Silver Ring City is ready."

Hearing this voice, Rutledge turned around, looked at the old butler at the door, and said, "Tell the people in Silver Ring City to start as planned."

The old butler nodded, but did not move at all, still standing there looking at Rutledge.

The latter frowned and asked, "What's the matter? What else?"

The old butler bowed and said, "Master, the master has some worries about the restoration of the kingdom."

"Worried? What is my father worried about?"

The old butler was silent for a while, and then said: "Master is worried that the old nobles of the Silver Ring Kingdom may not be good partners for cooperation."

Rutledge turned around, looked at the old butler and smiled and said, "You tell me the truth, do you really think those nobles can restore the Silver Ring Kingdom?"

The old butler was a little confused: "Master, what do you mean..."

"Although Muxicheng has not been established for a long time, the Holy King already has an unshakable position in the hearts of citizens. Don't look at us now, we have an advantage in the election, and people follow us and wave the flag to cheer. But The premise of all this is that our interests are consistent with the people's, and we use campaign methods to gain power, so that they have chosen to support us."

Rutledge lowered his head and sighed: "But if the forces that came to power last change to demand the restoration of the Silver Ring Kingdom, those people will soon wake up and target us."

The old butler was a little anxious: "In this way, isn't there any possibility of success in the plan for the restoration of the country formulated by the old officials of Silver Ring?"

Rutledge sat down on the chair and said amusedly: "The heir of the Silver Ring Kingdom, that Guy VII, who is only six or seven years old, is just a spoiled idiot. This kind of person is wasting food when he lives. The upper throne is also a puppet. Take ten thousand steps and say, even if the group of nobles can capture Twilight City and stabilize the situation, in the end, Silver Ring City will go on the old road and decline again... Therefore, the cooperation with the nobles’ old ministers is just For the time being, as long as my goal is achieved, those idiots are pawns that can be discarded at any time..."

The old butler widened his eyes: "Master, you want to..."

Rutledge regained his gaze out of the window, and said quietly: "Go back and tell my father, whether it is the Muxi Kingdom or the Silver Ring Kingdom, their history has gone...then, it will be a new era. "

A few more days passed.

In the king's audience room, Todd looked at Rachel in front of him and asked in surprise: "Why?"

The latter lay on the sofa and stretched: "She would like to do that. Does she need a reason?"

Todd shook his head vigorously: "No, no, no, I'm not asking about Mary's motives. What I want to ask is, why did you go to Mary and persuade her to stay in Dusit West?"

Rachel put his index finger to his lips and said with a chuckle, "This is a test."

Looking at the secretive appearance of the other party, Todd shook his head helplessly: "What did you say to her?"

Rachel said: "I just told her that you are in danger and need all possible help."

Todd puzzled: "That's it?"

Richel shrugged: "That's it."

"It's a very dangerous decision to stay in Twilight at this time." Todd rubbed his forehead with his hands, and said with a headache: "Rachelle, maybe I think too much, you seem to be quite prejudiced with Mary? "

Rachel glanced at Todd and said quietly, "Prejudice?"

"Whether it's Karin, Evie or Deirdre, you have shown kindness and tolerance to alien species, especially female alien species. But only Mary, you seem to be hostile to her?"

Rachel sat up straight, stared into Todd's eyes, and said calmly: "I really don't like Mary, half of the reason is because of her attitude towards different races."

"You can’t imagine how much Mary loved her after marrying the King Silver Ring. Whether it’s the priceless artworks or the vastly-engineered sky garden, as long as the queen’s smile can be exchanged, at that time Guy VI is like a little yellow-haired boy who is so dazzled by love."

"However, as a heterogeneous Mary, she obviously has infinite wealth and power, but she is immersed in pleasure. For the suffering of the heterogeneous, not only did she fail to show the slightest sympathy for the heterogeneity, she even showed aversion to heterogeneous groups in public. "

Todd sighed: "I once met Mary's father, Leoric, and learned about some things in her family. Perhaps, deep in Mary's heart, she thought that she was marrying a foreign country because of her alien identity. Disgusted by my father... By the way, you said this is half of the reason, and what is the other half of the reason?"

Rachel gave Todd a roll of eyes and said in a low voice, "You should be able to guess the reason for the other half."

Todd looked confused: "Can I guess?"

A quick knock on the door interrupted the conversation between the two.

Todd asked displeasedly: "What's the matter?"

The guard outside the door said in a hasty voice: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Silver Ring City, and a large-scale riot has occurred in the city!"

Todd and Rachel looked at each other, and the former said, "Come in."

The guard put a letter sealed with a fire seal on Todd's table, and then exited the door.

Todd opened the envelope, pulled out the report, glanced briefly, and then handed it to Rachel.

Richel took the report and read while reading: "On December 7, 1175, the reconstruction of Silver Circle City had to be suspended due to heavy snow. In the early hours of the next morning, a large number of bandits took advantage of the heavy snow. The cover appeared on the periphery of Silver Ring City, and was discovered by our army while climbing the city wall. The enemy army had about 3,000 people, most of whom were well-trained soldiers, but the opponent had no heavy armor and no siege weapons. The army has an absolute advantage. However, about half an hour after the battle for the city, about a thousand people in the city suddenly rioted and launched a charge at the city gate."

"Under the unfavorable situation of attack from inside and outside, the west gate was lost. The bandits outside the city and the mob inside the city gathered together and began to drive the civilians in the city to attack our army positions and consume our army's arrows and materials. At this time, the number of enemy troops was close to six. Thousands of people. After fighting with the enemy forces for nearly three hours, the remaining soldiers had to retreat into the inner city and chose to stay on. As the inner city reconstruction has not yet been completed, fortifications, war preparations, warm clothing, food and water are in a state of severe shortage. Therefore, I hereby ask for help from Muxicheng."

After reading the report ~lightnovelpub.net~, Rachel said softly: "The movements of the silver ring nobles are quite fast."

Todd nodded: "This is the most conventional tactics to attack the West, the purpose is to attract the attention of Twilight City, forcing us to send reinforcements to the rescue."

Richel then said: "Between Twilight West and Silver Ring, if it is a rapid march of the infantry regiment, it will take almost three days and three nights from the beginning of preparation to the arrival of the battlefield. But if it is an alien warhorse, there are only twelve. You can start fighting with the enemy in just a few hours..."

"The enemy has spotted this point, and that's why we are forced to send the alien knights." Todd said with a smile: "As long as this strongest military force is removed from the West City, the group of nobles will do it. Can handle the next battle calmly."

Rachel looked at the report and asked, "Then what should I do now? Go to the rescue? Or let the alien knights stay in the city?"

Todd picked up a pen and paper from the table, and while lifting a pen and a book, he said: "The stage has been set up, the actors are all in place, and the audience is looking forward to it. At this time, who would not want to watch the next good show? Woolen cloth?"
