Sophia wants to go to Shattered Snow City alone to destroy Reggie's iron barrel bomb.
Nehruv and Salah strongly opposed Sophia's idea.
They knew that Sophia was a witch, and she never concealed her special identity from those she trusted.
"But this is still too risky," Nehruf said. "You also said that there is your nemesis in Broken Snow City, and there is a young soldier who can always discover your whereabouts."
"We have no choice," Sophia sighed, "Don't worry, I will act by ear."
"Why do you say you have no choice?" Salah shook his head and said, "You let us station here just to cut off the supply of Broken Snow City. We only need to stay here for a few months, and Broken Snow City will collapse on its own.
.”
"That's the worst plan, Duke Salah, I don't want to waste so much time!" Sophia said, "We sent troops without permission from the king, guess what, we can still hide this matter
how long?"
"I don't care about this," Nehruv snorted, "What will happen if the king knows about it? We are doing this for his son! If he wants to send me to the guillotine, I will not sit still and die.
"
"And I," Salah said, "we have chosen you, my queen, and we are only loyal to you, my queen. If the king sends troops to attack Han Maple Fortress, my Cambrian knights are always willing to fight for Nehru.
Duke Husband fights!”
Nehruf said: "If the king attacks Ice Rock City, my soldiers will also be willing to fight for you!"
The two excited men looked at each other with red eyes. If it weren't for their status, Sophia would really want to spank them!
"Enough! Do you want to launch a rebellion?" Sophia sighed, "After my father leaves this world, I will go all out to become the successor of the kingdom. This is my promise to you, but in
While my father is still alive, I don’t want you to bear any more responsibility for me. This is what I expect from you, do you understand?”
The two lords stopped talking. After simple preparations, Sophia quietly set foot on the mountain road.
"She is braver than the men of Bayer," Nehruv sighed. "Anyway, I don't have the courage to break into the enemy's city alone."
"This is why she can become the queen," Salah said. "I am only willing to bleed for my queen, but I really don't want to rescue that idiot Sean."
Nekhruf shrugged and said: "Who knew this was the queen's wish?"
…
Sophia easily crossed the city wall and suffered many losses. Sophia made a very careful plan for this operation. She strictly controlled the time of the operation and had to return to the camp before dawn. At the same time, she also controlled
In order to limit the search scope, she only went to two locations. Even if she found nothing, she would terminate tonight's operation.
The first location is the trebuchet, which is the place where bombs are most likely to appear. The soldiers of Bayer like to pile black powder directly under the trebuchet, so that they can be ready for battle at any time.
But Reggie didn't do this. The area around the trebuchet was empty, and Sophia found no trace of the bomb.
Take as much as you use, and the remaining bombs must be returned in full. This is the military law set by Reggie for the bombing camp. This is also one of the most stringent military laws of the First Army. Any bombs that are scattered, discarded, or secretly hidden must be returned.
Any act will be considered a felony and will be sentenced to at least five years of hard labor. If any soldier violates this military law, the bombardment battalion commander Roland Field will be dismissed immediately.
After the first location failed, Sophia immediately came to the second search location, a warehouse near the city wall.
This warehouse was transformed from an abandoned residential building. Soldiers' weapons and armors were usually piled inside, and some food was also piled in some rooms.
Sophia quickly shuttled through different rooms, and finally she found a room filled with buckets of the same size.
This is it, indeed it is here!
Sophia showed an excited smile. She wiped her sweat first, and then carefully observed the surrounding situation. Dried vegetables were piled up in the room on the left, and flour was piled up in the room on the right. If you get out of the yard directly, you will be within ten feet.
Outside is the city wall. After getting out of the city wall, you can return to the camp.
Sophia took out two pieces of flint, lit a candle, and pointed it at a bucket. When she was considering where to light the fire, someone pushed the door open and walked in.
"Your Highness," Reggie said, standing at the door, "we meet again."
Damn it, why did he come so soon!
Come or not, it’s best to blow him up together!
Sophia tried her best to burn the bucket with a candle, but the bucket didn't seem to change at all.
Reggie looked at Sophia in confusion and asked, "What do you want to do to my bacon?"
"bacon?"
"Yes, that's a jar used to marinate bacon. You took such a big risk and came here, you probably didn't come here just to steal a piece of meat."
Sophia's body trembled slightly, and she knew she had been fooled again.
She spotted a wall and was about to crawl through the wall to escape, but she found Erwin already approaching her with a short knife.
"Don't move, Your Highness Princess," Erwin whispered, "The lord did not say that he must be kept alive."
Sophia bit her lip and finally said to Reggie: "Okay, kill me! Come on! I won't even blink!"
Reggie shook his head helplessly and said, "I know you are very brave. When we meet next time, can we change the opening remarks?"
"Will there be a next time?" Sophia looked at Reggie in surprise.
"Yes, there will definitely be."
"Will you let me go?"
"Why not?" Reggie said, "I think we should sit down and have a good talk this time, really have a good talk."
…
Reggie chose the watchtower as the location for the negotiation. This location was perfectly chosen. The watchtower is forty feet high. If Sophia chooses to escape through the wall, she will fall to pieces. Of course, she can also penetrate it.
She crawled downstairs, where twenty fully armed guards were waiting for her.
There were only three people in the room, Reggie and Sophia were sitting at the table, and Erwin was standing behind Reggie.
"Are you hungry? Would you like some bread?"
"No need."
"Want some milk?"
"That's not necessary."
"Would you like some bacon?"
"Don't ever mention bacon to me again!"
"Where's the ale?"
Sophia didn't refuse this time. She picked up the wine can, drank more than half of it in one breath, wiped her mouth and said, "If you have anything to say, tell me quickly!"
Reggie liked Sophia's straightforwardness very much: "Then let me tell you frankly, can we stop this meaningless war?"
Sophia nodded and said, "Yes, as long as you let my brother go."
Reggie said: "But I haven't seen your ransom yet. We have agreed on it, one million pounds of grain."
"Stop dreaming, I won't give you a pound of grain!"
"As a princess, don't you think the act of betrayal is shameful?"
"That's your wishful thinking!" Sophia shouted, "I never agreed."
"How many of you died?"
Sophia was stunned and asked: "What does this have to do with you?"
Reggie said: "If I guess correctly, at least two thousand of you died. Isn't the life of two thousand people still less than one million pounds of grain?"
