Seeing that Bledsoe had completely surrendered, Hesso changed the topic and said with a smile with purpose: "I just heard the general's conversation about refusing Constance's intention to harm the mission. You care about the old relationship and put benevolence and justice first, so you committed the crime."

He made a big mistake and let go of the rebellious Steve family. Although this behavior is unfaithful to His Majesty the Emperor, it is righteous to his friends and reflects the kind side of the General who repays his kindness! I have a question about what happened tonight.

I wonder if the General will accept this small suggestion? If the General is willing to listen to me, I may be able to change the status quo and save hundreds of lives of you and your men!"

Bledsoe was slightly stunned when he heard this. He obviously did not expect that Hesso would suddenly reverse his position. From his tone, it seemed that he wanted to help him and hide all the secrets he heard tonight. Sure enough, Hesso was slightly

After a pause, he continued: "As far as I know, the Steve family rebels came to Black Dragon Castle among the Sixth and Seventh Corps. At that time, the General did not know that the Sixth and Seventh Corps were also involved.

You surrendered to the Steve family, so you opened the gate of Black Dragon Castle without knowing it, and only the 6th and 7th Corps were released. Although it is inevitable that you are responsible for negligence, the crime will not lead to death. Here,

At a time of great turmoil and the need for more men, I believe that His Majesty the Emperor will never take advantage of the general to disrupt the minds of the Black Dragon Fort frontier troops!"

Bledsoe looked at Hesso blankly for a while, and then asked in confusion: "Why do you want to hide the truth for me and find another excuse to escape? I have never had any contact with you, sir."

It doesn’t matter, why do you need to go to such unnecessary lengths to protect my life?”

Heisuo put away his smile and replied seriously: "Didn't I already express my appreciation for the general during the day? You were able to stick to the bottom line and refuse to accept Constance's hard pressure.

Cooperating with them to harm the mission has strengthened my determination to save the general's life and safeguard the pillars of the country! I believe what the general said to Constance when he parted, the great kindness has been repaid, and there will be no more intersections in the future.

There is only hostility between you and the Steve family, and there is no longer any friendship like in the past!"

"Plop!" Bledsoe's knees weakened and he knelt down on the spot. He bowed to Hesso with tears of gratitude and said, "Thank you, Lord Hesso, for understanding me so much! You have given me the grace to rebuild my life. In the future, Bledsoe is willing to

Follow Master Heisuo and you will die in retribution!"

Heisso was overjoyed when he heard this. He took the initiative to help Bledsoe up and comforted him hypocritically: "General, please don't pay such a courtesy! I am willing to rescue you. Firstly, I respect the general as a person. Secondly, for the sake of

For the sake of the country’s interests, the Black Dragon Empire will need people like you and me to work together in the future to attack cities and strongholds, defend the land and bring peace to the people!”

"You are young but have noble moral character. Bledsoe is really shameless in front of you!" Bledsoe stood up with a blush on his face. When they first met, he looked down on Bledsoe in his heart.

, thinking that the other party is so young and has relatively low qualifications, and is not qualified to hold the position of minister of the central government. But now it seems that his own mind is too narrow-minded, and he is not at all comparable to this rising star who is several years younger than him.

Blackso had wanted to bribe Bledsoe from the first time he saw him. He originally wanted to take advantage of Black Dragon Castle's lack of funds to seduce him, but unexpectedly, tonight's exploration had other results. He happened to hear that the other party

After a secret conversation with Constance, by chance, I finally got what I wanted, and successfully subdued Bledsoe. Tomorrow, if I embezzle part of the 200,000 gold coins carried by the mission, I can naturally win over the entire group.

A frontier force from Black Dragon Castle, with the full support of Bledsoe and his men.

Thinking of this, Heisuo was extremely excited! As the saying goes, people are in high spirits during happy events, and this is true at all. Heisuo is in this state now. He is so excited that he doesn't want to sleep. He and Bledsoe talked at night by candlelight.

They kept in touch with each other until sunrise and dawn before saying goodbye and leaving, returning to their bedrooms to rest.

At noon, when Tracy Shirley walked out of the bedroom, stretched herself contentedly, and appeared in front of everyone, Black Solo had already gotten up early to discuss military affairs with Bledsoe again!

Tracy Shirley tilted her head and looked at Bledsoe's back with confusion. She walked up to Bledsoe and asked quietly: "This guy's attitude towards you seems to be very different from yesterday. Did you use it?"

How can you make him change? How can he be respectful to you and not dare to have the slightest objection?"

Heisuo looked mysterious and replied softly: "I just gave them some of the 200,000 gold coins that the mission brought to Fairy City to ease the financial pressure on Black Dragon Castle! As the saying goes, money can make the world go round. What do you think?

Bledsoe took away my gold coins, can he not change his attitude and obey my words?"

"That's it!" Tracy Shirley nodded and said suddenly, believing it to be true: "Our Tracy family is also rich, so we can recruit many subordinates. Yesterday, I heard that the frontier troops of Black Dragon Castle couldn't even eat.

Well, you took advantage of this weakness to bribe Bledsoe. It is indeed a very effective way to find every opportunity! But these 12,000 border troops are not a small number after all. How many gold coins do you plan to give them in exchange for Bledsoe?

Where is his allegiance?”

Heisuo smiled slightly and told the truth: "One hundred and fifty thousand gold coins! I gave them three-quarters of the gold coins brought by the mission. This should be able to last for half a year, enough for Bledsoe to wait until next time.

The batch of military supplies has arrived!"

"You are so generous!" Tracy Shirley was startled and couldn't help but glare at Heisuo. You must know that 150,000 gold coins is a huge wealth for today's Black Dragon Empire, but it's not that

It’s easy to come up with!

Heisuo smiled and said nothing, and did not continue to explain. In his mind, gold coins were always just a number, but they were far less cost-effective than the loyalty of 12,000 frontier soldiers.

The Skeldt Mountains are located in the southeastern part of the Kingdom of Holy Light. They are about 950 kilometers long and 220 kilometers wide. The average altitude is about 1,500 meters. Among them, there are 72 peaks over 3,000 meters. The highest peak is Fairy Peak.

At 3,810 meters, right behind the back of the Holy Kingdom's Border of Light Castle, Heisso and Tracy Shirley led the delegation to leave the Black Dragon Castle. One of the goals of their advance was the Fairy Peak, the shortest straight line between the two points, passing through

The Skeldt Mountains, reaching directly to the foot of Fairy Peak, is the best way to join the Holy Kingdom Corps of Light Castle and obtain its protection.

"Do you really don't need me to lead troops to protect you?" When bidding farewell to Bledsoe, the Black Dragon Castle guard who had already taken a liking to Hesso asked him more than once, and Hesso answered him confidently.

: "General, you don't have to go on an expedition with me. You just need to guard the Black Dragon Castle and wait for my flying letter to summon you! The purpose of going to the Fairy City of the Holy Kingdom is for peace negotiations. If we lead the army to the Castle of Light,

On the contrary, bad rumors will be made with ulterior motives and evil intentions, causing people in the Holy Kingdom to feel panic and dissatisfaction with us!"

Bledsoe nodded and agreed with Hesso's opinion, but he still worried and said: "Last night, Constance made it clear that he would intercept and kill the envoy along the road. If you don't bring heavy troops to escort, what will happen if you encounter danger?"

Is good?"

Heisuo turned his head and looked at the convoy of missionaries waiting in front, grinned a little sinisterly and said: "General, I don't need to worry about this matter. I have already thought of a way to deal with it! As far as I estimate, Constance can bring

There will not be many people in the ambush. The battle between the Holy Kingdom and the Orcs is in full swing. The two main regiments of the Steve family have also gone to the battlefield to fight together. There are more than a thousand people under my command.

Sneak attacks and assassinations by enemy forces are stress-free and won’t be a big problem.”

Seeing Heisuo being so confident, Bledsoe felt a little relieved. He got on his horse, bowed his hands to Heisuo and said as a salute: "In this case, I have no choice but to resign from my humble position. If Lord Heisuo needs anything, please speak up.

I will be waiting for good news in the Black Dragon Castle, waiting for your triumphant return from the Fairy City!"

"Goodbye!" Heisuo waved his hand gently and watched Bledsoe and his black-armored knights turn back. The Black Dragon Castle Frontier Army was the second reinforcement group after the First Corps of North Wind City.

Unless there is a last resort emergency, Heisuo does not want to use them to expose his military power prematurely!

Unforeseen circumstances occurred. The mission encountered heavy rain the day after they left Black Dragon Castle and entered the Scheldt Mountains. They were forced to hide in a mountain col and wait for the weather to clear. Heisuo had nothing to do, so he could only take Trey with him.

Sy Shirley, Swinson, Alistair, Atwood and the other four drank and chatted together to pass the time and escape the wind and rain.

"Sir!" Atwood raised his glass, drank it and said, "When and where do you think the Steve family ambush will attack us?"

Heisuo glanced at the pouring rain outside the tent, smiled slightly and said: "This is still a long way from the Holy Kingdom's Fort of Light. If I were Constance, I would definitely choose a dangerous place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack to attack.

Mission!”

Tracy Shirley, who was sitting next to her, did not drink. She reached out and picked up the nuts on the desk, opened one and put it in her mouth. While tasting it, she said: "Why do you have to choose a dangerous place to besiege the mission?

The rugged roads in the Scheldt Mountains are not conducive to cavalry troops fighting here, and the mission's accompanying guards only have more than a thousand people, and their combat capabilities are not particularly strong. If I were Constance hiding in the dark,

There is no need to worry about it at all, just lead the troops and attack directly!"

"Miss!" Alistair responded before Blackso could speak: "Lord Blackso has given a reasonable explanation before. Since the fierce battle between the Holy Kingdom and the Orcs is in full swing, the Steve family cannot mobilize too many people.

manpower to attack the mission, so the number of ambushers Constance can bring will never be higher than ours. He can only use the terrain to limit our troops and set up ambushes in dangerous places to ensure nothing goes wrong!"

Tracy Shirley nodded gently, turned to look at Heisuo with a vague understanding and said: "This rainstorm is getting heavier and heavier. Do you think Constance is really capable of coming here in the rain? Find him hiding in the vast mountains.

Any trace of the mission?”

Heisuo put down the wine glass in his hand and replied with a smile: "You have been doing nothing all day long and are indifferent to the situation outside. Of course you can't notice anything strange in the envoy! From the time we left the imperial capital to the time we came here, there has always been someone there.

The spies of your husband's family are secretly monitoring us - if my guess is not wrong, that spy is lurking in your family's army. Your two brothers once planted spies around Prime Minister Cole, and he also

He adopted the same strategy and quietly infiltrated his family's spies into the mission."

Tracy Shirley was slightly startled, blinked her beautiful big eyes, and asked in confusion: "Since you have already guessed that there is a Steve family spy among the soldiers, why don't you think of a way to kill him?"

How about finding it out? There is more than one road from the Scheldt Mountains to the Castle of Light. If there are no spies to tip off the message, the mission has a high chance of avoiding Constance's ambush and safely reaching the Holy Kingdom's border fortress of Light.

Fort.”

Heisuo laughed and said with unstinting praise: "I didn't expect that our eldest lady would also learn to analyze problems! What you said makes sense, but I don't want to find out the spy and avoid the Steve family.

This ambush! Because Steve Cole and I have exactly the same thoughts, neither want to miss any opportunity to attack the other party. He wants to avenge me for rescuing Emperor Paul that day, and why don’t I want to eliminate Steve once and for all?

Husband’s family, let’s solve this intimate problem! The enemies hiding in the sky will always be enemies. Only by completely eliminating them can we sleep peacefully without worrying that one day we will be retaliated by them and a disaster will come!”

"So you want to lure Constance to attack, so as to weaken the remaining strength of the Steve family!" Tracy Shirley finally understood why Bledsoe wanted to appease the spy, and deliberately declined Bledsoe's black-armored cavalry.

Protected, he is worried that his power is too strong, which makes Constance and the Steve family ambush and dare not show their faces. The only obstacle to the negotiations in the Fairy City of the Holy Kingdom is the Steve family. If they can be found

Given the right opportunity, it is also a good choice to attack the opponent first. Heisuo led the envoy to advance slowly and arrogantly, and his purpose should be exactly this.

Swenson, who has always been known for his eloquence, has always remained silent and did not dare to speak casually. He knew that his identity was very sensitive, which made Heisuo wary and guarded, so he could only drink alone and pretend to be something.

Heisuo couldn't hear him, but the thoughtful Heisuo didn't want to let him go. He took the initiative to pick up the wine glass, walked up to talk to him and said, "Why is Mr. Swenson always looking gloomy? I remember when I left the imperial capital that day.
