The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword
Chapter 164: Surprise 4
Victor's late arrival was supposed to arouse the anger of Prince Yanush, because what the Prince hated most was the unpunctual soldiers. And Victor is also ready to be punished by the prince. But Prince Yanush did not punish Victor, even if it was a heavy sentence. He pointed to a young man beside him and said to Victor:
"Lieutenant Victor, let me introduce you to you. This is Prince Boguslav’s guard, Catherine. He will lead a team of Prince’s guards with you to guard the dinner tonight."
Catherine took off her hat and bowed to Victor. When he raised his head, he smiled slightly at Cheor Chen.
"Thank you for the kindness of your Royal Highness. But I believe that relying on my infantry team is sufficient to deal with any situation." Victor politely rejected Prince Yanush. For Victor, who has great military self-esteem, an ordinary dinner party will require outsiders. Helping was an insult to his subordinates.
"Of course I believe in the abilities of you and your men. But Victor, today’s dinner is extraordinary. Half of the lords and high-ranking officers of the Republic will be there, and there is no room for a little mistake. Not only this Catherine, but this one Your Spanish fellow Chechen, he once saved my life and is a very capable rising star. He and his mercenary group will also join the defense tonight." The prince said calmly but undoubtedly.
Victor has followed the prince for a long time, and of course he knows the prince's temper. Hearing what Prince Yanush said, he didn't say anything anymore.
"Three, you are the people I and my brother trust the most. I might as well tell you directly that tonight will be an important moment to determine the fate of me and the Laziviu family. What you may have to deal with is not only the external existence. Enemies, there are also those who may be apostasy at today’s banquet. I hope you will trust me and support me no matter what."
"We will, Your Royal Highness."
Seeing that Prince Yanush said so solemnly and sincerely, all three of them responded loudly.
But Prince Yanush seemed unsatisfied, he strode to the desk and took out the cross.
"In the name of the cross, I hope you say it again."
"We will be loyal to you, Prince." Faced with the crucifixion of **** on the cross, the three repeated it again.
"Never divulge today's words."
"Never divulge today's words."
At this time, Yanush finally let go of his heart.
"Okay, the three of you will go down and discuss the security work for the night. I am tired and need to rest." Prince Yanush said to the three.
So Cheerchen, Catherine, and Victor paid a military salute to the prince, and then left the room.
The door slowly closed behind the three of them, and the hands of the mechanical clock in the corridor also moved to the position of three o'clock in the afternoon, less than three hours before the dinner.
"Catherine, I didn't expect to be with you tonight."
Cheerchen happily said to Catherine as soon as he walked out the door.
"Neither did I expect it. I was still wondering when the prince sent me to the prince."
"Have you seen Princess Helena?"
"Yes. She and her father also live in the prince's residence. I know Helena has suffered a lot in Moscow, but now the suffering is coming, I swear to her that I will never leave her again."
"Then Lord Feodor has no objection?"
"No. He saw that I was highly valued by Prince Boguslav, and now speaking to me is sweeter than honey. And just now the prince promised me that as long as I serve the Laziweu family with my heart, then he will be The witness of Princess Helena and I, what an honor it is!" Catherine said excitedly.
"Ahem."
Cheerchen was about to congratulate Catherine for finally getting married, but the greeting between the two was interrupted by Victor's cough.
Seeing that the attention of Catherine and Cheorchen was drawn to him, Victor lowered his fist before his lips.
"Gentlemen, I didn't want to interrupt your renewal, but now let's talk about the defense work at night. I mean my infantry team is responsible for the defense of the castle, and two soldiers are responsible for the castle. Periphery." Victor said. His solemn tone made Catherine feel that Victor regarded herself as his subordinate.
This plan was naturally opposed by Catherine.
"Mr. Lieutenant, Prince Boguslavci’s order to me is very clear. It is to come to the castle to be responsible for the defense work. You now arrange me outside the castle, which obviously violates the order the Prince gave me. Of course, as a soldier, I will obey the order. But please get me a warrant to change the original order from Prince Boguslav." Catherine said without arrogance.
And Cheer Chen also said: "Lieutenant-sir, I will obey your arrangements. But I want to remind you that the officers under your hand are all veterans with special skills. If something unexpected happens at the dinner, they are in the castle. The effect is greater than outside the castle."
Hearing that Catherine and Cheorchen didn't agree with his plan, Victor blew his beard and stared. He thinks that he is the person of the prince, and today is responsible for the dinner of the prince~lightnovelpub.net~ then of course everything should be done according to his orders.
But in the end, one of them is from Boguslav, the other is his fellow villager and the life-saver of Prince Yanush. It's rare to cooperate with Victor once and he didn't want to make the relationship too stiff. So Victor asked what other better ideas the two had.
"Since we want to ensure that the dinner is foolproof, then we should arrange the most elite of the three teams in the castle. There are two gates at the front and back of Miatelsk Castle, and we have 20 people guarding each gate. In the castle Inside, in order to prevent spies from coming in with the intention of being unruly, four to five soldiers should be arranged to guard each stairway and aisle. Then the banquet hall is the top priority. I suggest that our three teams arrange the most elite people in Here. But there are a lot of guests attending the banquet in the evening, and ours is about thirty people." Catherine said calmly.
As the guard of Prince Boguslav, Catherine knew exactly what happened to Miatelsk Castle. This plan not only takes into account the inside and outside, but also takes care of the normal progress of the banquet.
For this plan, Victor's heart also believes that it is impeccable. At this time, he also showed the qualities that an honest soldier should have.
"Very good, then follow this plan to arrange it." Victor said to the two.
"what?"
Cheerchen and Catherine were surprised that Victor would be so conceited.
"Ah what? If there is a better plan for me to choose, I will certainly consider it. But Catherine's plan is already the best, so I certainly have no other suggestions." Victor said.
Now the two couldn't help but respect him.
"Yes, Lieutenant Victor."
This time, Cheerchen and Catherine shouted sincerely.
