Chapter 76 Next is the Queen’s Performance
"Is he back?"
"Please take my master's letter!"
Looking at the envelope respectfully handed over by the faceless gentleman.
The queen stretched out her hand tremblingly.
Having experienced despair, she was afraid that this would be a new despair.
But this trembling completely disappeared the moment I received the envelope.
The Queen opened the envelope.
The princess regained hope.
The letter contained only one sentence, which was neither long nor short.
But it is enough:
"I told you before that I don't want you to face everything on your own. Please do it with confidence. I will prevent any accidents for you."
'As always, my princess!'
"And please forgive me for coming back just now."
As she read the last sentence, the princess laughed and cried.
He's really back.
I guessed right!
Very good!
Great! ! !
"Teacher, my teacher is back, and he really didn't lie to me."
The queen who had lost everything, embraced again all that she had.
The Faceless Gentleman did not answer, he just bowed respectfully.
Quietly watching the young princess holding the envelope.
His master had found a very good pupil.
-
Before dawn, the cabinet ministers were called into the audience hall again.
As soon as they walked in, they keenly discovered the differences.
This audience hall, which was once extremely cold and lonely, seems to have become warmer?
"His Majesty?!"
When they saw the Queen, they were even more shocked.
Because the Queen was smiling, holding a letter tightly in her hand.
They hadn't seen that smile for twenty years.
Light, bright and soft.
Ever since the Queen has carried the empire on her shoulders.
"Let's get started, it's time to wrap up!"
"His Majesty?!"
They had thought about this sentence countless times before today.
But when they actually heard it, they couldn't believe it.
"I said let's get started. It's time to wrap it up properly. It's time to end it all once and for all!"
The cabinet ministers were literally crying with joy.
They all thought about bypassing the emperor and starting to fight back.
But the problem is that without the emperor's order, the cabinet has no way to control the most critical group of people.
The other party only obeys the emperor!
-
The southern prisoner camp in front of Anras Fortress.
The guards opened the door curiously.
The person in charge stepped forward and asked attentively:
"Sir, why are you here?"
The person who came was none other than one of the nobles of the Northern Alliance.
He is not their direct superior, but he is also someone who can give orders.
"Routine inspection. Everyone else is asleep?"
"They are all asleep. There is still more than an hour before it is time to get up. However, as soon as there is any movement, they can immediately fight."
"Right away?"
"Yes, Lord Hasank said that even when sleeping, half of the people must sleep in armor! We have been taking turns to rest."
"Fortunately!"
"You are joking, sir. This is all as it should be. There are 110,000 people imprisoned here!"
"Yes, a full 110,000 people."
"How are the barracks in there?"
"It's pretty good. It doesn't leak wind or rain. But there are too many people in one barracks."
"It's okay, it will be spacious soon."
"Ah? Sir, what does this mean?"
The visitor did not speak. He just pointed to the warehouse opposite and said, "Is that the weapons depot?"
"Yes, where are all the extra equipment? It's enough to arm more than 2,000 people!"
"Including you, that's 5,000 people's equipment?"
"Yes, my lord."
"very good."
As soon as he finished speaking, the person in charge was pointed a gun at the head by the private soldier behind the noble.
"Shut up and live."
"Tell me the secret command to open the inner door."
"Are you crazy, my lord?"
"Don't worry about it."
Looking at the revolver pointed at his head, the person in charge could only say from the heart:
"Open the door, open the door, close the door. The sun is rising and the stars are setting. This is the secret order to open the inner door."
"Close, close, open, the stars rise, the sun sets. How do I know this?"
The person in charge's eyes suddenly widened.
"I'll only give you this one chance, do you want to bet on whether I know what happens next?"
The person in charge's psychological defenses collapsed instantly.
He completely admitted defeat and compromised, and led the nobles to open the inner door that would never be opened under normal circumstances.
On weekdays, they even relied on elevators on the city walls to supply food and water.
At this point, the strong city walls that were built specifically to prevent prisoners from blowing up the camp became useless.
As the inner door opened, the person in charge saw prisoners from at least three barracks waiting behind it.
Clearly, there is a secret code set for their room!
After looking at the city wall, there was no one guarding there.
Needless to say, the person in charge quickly opened the armory, took his men into the empty barracks and locked himself in.
It took only half an hour from opening the door to obtaining weapons, and this prisoner camp that detained 110,000 soldiers was completely captured.
When most of the soldiers walked out of the barracks in disbelief, more weapons were also delivered here.
But this was not enough to arm 110,000 men, and they had no officers in command.
But in response to all this, the northern nobles who liberated them took out the Queen's secret order and said:
"I am Her Majesty's spy. I have been ordered to lurk in the north for many years. Please do not doubt or say anything. Follow me to Anras City immediately!"
"Don't worry, we don't have to attack the city. We just need to show up."
In this way, 110,000 soldiers rushed to the Anras Fortress in confusion and excitement under the cover of the last bit of night.
When I saw a large group of people coming.
The Allied soldiers defending the city were simply unbelievable.
They were able to figure out where these people came from; they must have escaped from the prisoner-of-war camp.
But what are they doing here?
Any normal person could see that not only did they have a small amount of equipment, they didn't even have a decent siege machine.
Why come to Anras?
But no matter what, the necessary procedures must be started.
The alarm of the enemy attack quickly spread throughout the fortress.
A large number of coalition soldiers went up to the city walls.
But when they were about to massacre those ignorant captured soldiers.
But they heard an explosion from behind.
Then, countless Baratheon soldiers rushed out from the houses on both sides of the fortress.
The Queen prepared for this day for a long time.
In the inner city where the Governor's Palace is located.
The jester looked in astonishment at the city wall engulfed in flames and amid shouts of killing.
He could understand that the prisoners had run away, but how did the soldiers in the city appear?
"How is this going?"
In response to his question, the Silent Knight stepped out and answered him.
"Because of the secret passage, the Baratheons dug a secret passage below, and the elite troops that were supposed to be on the east and west fronts were hidden here in advance."
“Even the local defenders don’t know this.”
"what?!"
The jester was completely stunned. Why did this happen?
No, how did he know?
Before the jester could have any more doubts.
A huge sword pierced his heart.
