Chapter 188 205 A Game of Chess
When the people of Calais violently attacked the vanguard battalion, Junzheng's heart was suspended, but his heart was not for the battle of the vanguard battalion, but for the conspiracy hidden in his heart.

In the early morning after the reinforcement meeting, he received a mysterious visitor who claimed to be an old friend from his hometown. When he heard the name of that person, he immediately became nervous and his heart skipped a beat." Is the eldest brother really ready to do it?"

The battle in the Vanguard Battalion is tense. If he doesn’t need to report, someone will tell Duke Julio. According to common sense, at this time, Julio should urgently dispatch troops from various places to reinforce quickly. However, the entire Principality is as calm as a pool of stagnant water. The Grand Duke has any movement, and what does this mysterious visitor mean at this time?
Military and political.West tidied his clothes in a hurry, and walked out of the big tent to greet him. The mysterious visitor just nodded at him, then stepped into the big tent, looked around, and then told the guards, "You guys should be careful. People are not allowed to take half a step." Then he turned around and followed in.

The two went straight into the inner tent, Junzheng hurriedly moved a chair, only to see that the mysterious visitor had already sat down on his seat, slowly took off his wide cloak hat, and said to him in a voice with sharp fingers, "In Ann, sit down too, and tell me how is the situation on your side?"

The military and government were full of anger, and a small envoy of the Dharma Hall turned out to be such a big show in front of him. He really wanted to throw this annoying person out, but when he thought of the powerful Dharma Hall behind him, he still patiently accompanied him. With a smile on his face, he said, "I haven't asked what the adult's name is yet?"

"I am the servant next to the Great Elder. You can call me Pang De. Although I am a small inner temple mage in the Dharma Hall, it is not too much for you to call me an adult here. Now tell me about your side. situation."

Hearing Pound's duck-like cry, coupled with his arrogant attitude, Junzheng wanted to strangle him to death, so he sat down with restraint, and tried his best to briefly talk about the situation here with a smiling face.

Pang De couldn't help but nodded, "Well, you've done a good job. You will issue an order later to let the Lear County troops stationed on the Shiliting Trail withdraw."

"My lord, I'm afraid this is inappropriate." Junzheng said cautiously, but Pang De's expression darkened immediately, "Huh? Why, didn't you understand what I said? I asked you to withdraw the troops from Shiliting."

"Yes, I understand, but once the place is withdrawn, I am afraid that the Calais will take the opportunity to attack our army's rear. I am afraid..." Before he could finish speaking, Pound slapped the table hard, "You bastard, Now it is for you to carry out the orders of the Great Elder, I am not here to listen to your excuses."

The scene suddenly became tense, and Junzheng's face couldn't help twitching. Seeing his strange expression, Pang De couldn't help but calm down and said softly, "Rian, don't hesitate, all of this is under the arrangement of the Great Elder. Someone will send this news to the people of Calais, and then they will not be interested in your army, but will go straight to the Mercenary City, because that annoying little Julio is right now."

"Ah!" Junzheng couldn't help being startled, and led the Calais to arrest Julio, which he had never thought of. Isn't this a blatant collaboration with the enemy?
"Don't panic. The battle here is tight. It is reasonable to deploy troops from Shiliting, which has never seen any movement. Besides, with the support of the Great Elder, are you afraid that someone will object? Wait until the Calais raided the mercenary city and arrested That Julio, let’s send someone to rescue him. Isn’t it normal for both sides to have some accidents during the fight? At that time, Grand Duke Julio will have no descendants. Naturally, this duchy will be your Viking It's from the Sturts." After finishing speaking, Pound couldn't help taking out a handkerchief and gently pinching the corners of his mouth with his fingers, then slapped his nose again, looked around the environment in the tent, and said no despite the shock. Junzheng said, "The environment here is really rough. I want to live here for a few days. You can arrange a clean tent for me. Remember to pick a few people with clean hands and feet to serve me. I can't stand those rude people." Soldiers are clumsy."

Junzheng couldn't help but gritted his teeth, tried to calm down the anger in his chest, and forced a smile, "Lord Pang De is willing to honor me to stay with me. It's a great honor. I will definitely arrange it for you."

When the messenger was sent away, Junzheng returned to the back tent, picked up a rag and wiped the table and chairs fiercely, suddenly threw the rag on the ground, stepped on it angrily, and shouted "Come here," the guard He hurried in, "Take out these tables and chairs and burn them."

"My lord, this is your favorite table and chair, really,,," "Didn't you understand what I said? I'll let you take it out and burn it, don't even leave ashes!" The military and government roared like an angry lion , Let the guards tremble with fright.

When the guards really came to move the tables and chairs, military and political rationality took over his brain again, "Forget it, set the tables and chairs, you all go out."

A sense of powerlessness swept over his whole body, making him sit heavily on the chair, and he couldn't help but secretly said in his heart, "Big brother, big brother, what are you doing all this for? Although little Julio is always on guard against us, at least he still treats us very well." Respect, look at Pang De today, who is just a personal servant of the Great Elder, yet he is so arrogant to me. Even if we really seize the authority of the Principality, we will not be reduced to the Great Elder's domestic slaves by then? Don't you? Are you willing to let such villains sit on top of us? I’m afraid it’s better to be a governor who everyone fears under Julio’s rule.”

Complaints belong to complaints, but things still have to be done. Military and political affairs quickly wrote down a paper order, called the most caring guards, and asked him to send him to Shiliting to garrison. No matter what, he didn't have the heart to read it, so he couldn't help but threw it on the table, walked to the bedside and lay down on his clothes.

At noon three days later, in the Mercenary City, Grand Duke Julio walked into Greina's small living room after having lunch, "Grena, can you pour me a glass of your secret wine from the Rose Hotel?"

Grena hurried over to fill a glass for him herself, and brought it to him politely, "Grand Duke, why are you so interested today? Remember drinking?"

"Not only do I want to drink today, but I also want to find someone to play chess with. I wonder if the beautiful Grena will show her respect?" The Grand Duke sat there holding up the wine glass, smelling the mellow aroma of the wine, "It really deserves its reputation. Knowing that your wines are so good, I should have tasted them long ago."

Grena took the chessboard and gently placed it on the coffee table, then skillfully arranged the chess pieces, "If you are interested, Grand Duke, I will try to play a few games with you, but I am afraid that my chess skills will disappoint you, Grand Duke."

"Why, are you discouraged if you haven't played it before? This doesn't look like the head shopkeeper of an SS-level mercenary group." Julio took a sip of his wine, but sighed again, "Hey, I really miss the days when I was a child. Ah, at that time, my best friend and I studied and practiced together every day. We often sneaked into my father’s room to steal wine, took it back to our small room, and played chess while drinking. Although the chess skills were very poor at that time, the momentum It’s quite like a master, thinking about those days is really good, if I can go back to the past, I would rather not be this grand duke.”

Greina's hands that placed the chess pieces suddenly trembled, and almost dropped the chess pieces on the board. She couldn't help but quickly looked at Julio's expression, and found that Julio was immersed in the good memories of the past, so she couldn't help asking carefully. "My lord, what happened to you today?"

"Oh? Hehe, I am infected by your fine wine and think of those old things, which makes you laugh." Julio's words always make people feel so polite, but every sentence in Grena's ears Make her be extra careful, for fear that she will be infected by his tone and say something she shouldn't say.

"Unexpectedly, Grand Duke, you still remember the events many years ago. I think this friend of yours must be very important to you." Grena asked cautiously, and Julio smiled at her at the moment. "You actually know this friend of mine, do you want to know who he is?"

This sentence shocked Grena again, "He is Reg." Hearing Julio's words, Grena calmed down with a smile on her face.

"Why aren't you surprised?" Julio was a little surprised by this performance, but Grena said with a smile, "Actually, there is nothing to be surprised about. With Brother Reg's temperament and extraordinary cultivation, I think Grand Duke, it is strange that you are not friends with him."

"Oh? Hahaha, it seems that you have already guessed it in your heart, but I seem stingy. Okay, let's not talk about this, let's play chess." Julio stretched out his hand towards Grena, motioning to let her go. She left first, Grena casually made a king's soldier, and the Grand Duke also casually brought up the corresponding soldier.

In this way, the two began to fight on the chessboard, and gradually reached the middle game. What surprised Grena was that the Grand Duke never changed the position of the king, leaving the king in a dangerous place, and all his seeds were lost. They all launched an attack frantically, as if they would never return.

Faced with the Grand Duke's pressing every step of the way, Grena began to fall into deep thought. It was not that she had no chance of winning this game of chess, but what she was thinking about now was whether she should win or not. Finally, she made up her mind and moved the queen to another position. In this way, the whole battle situation has completely changed. The Grand Duke may be a little caught off guard by the attack after this move, but with the Grand Duke's horse jumping off, he finally formed a clever siege to Gruina. Although it is only dangerous now, she is in danger After careful consideration, he still chose to throw in the towel.

This game of chess made Grena feel strange. If the Grand Duke changed the king in advance, it might be safer for him to win. From her face, the Grand Duke has seen her doubts, and he couldn't help but smile and said while arranging the chess pieces, " Do you feel that I am going too dangerously?"

Grena nodded honestly, and the Grand Duke couldn't help sighing softly, "Why don't I want to make my seat safer? But now I don't have the time or opportunity to hide in a safe place. Not only are the enemies outside attacking me fiercely, but also Potential enemies in the principality are also taking advantage of the opportunity to create chaos, so I can only resort to risky moves, relying on one step to resolve the current crisis."

No matter how stupid Greina was, she could hear the meaning behind the strings, not to mention that she was an extremely smart woman, so she couldn't help but stop and look at the Grand Duke, "I don't know what I can do next?"

The Grand Duke couldn't help but stop when he heard this. He didn't expect that his short words would let Greina see through his mind. After thinking carefully for a moment, the Grand Duke simply said, "I want to borrow troops from you."

"Borrow troops? Grand Duke, are you overestimating the strength of our small mercenary group? Even if I lend you the entire mercenary group, I'm afraid it will only have a few thousand people."

The Grand Duke smiled, "Greina, we can be regarded as friends through Reg's relationship, but what you said made me feel very sad. You never regarded me as a friend in your heart."

Grena immediately stood up nervously, but the Grand Duke smiled and waved her to sit down, "I know that your Rose Corps has developed at least ten affiliated regiments secretly, and the total strength may be more than tens of thousands. After Reg left, you mobilized all your troops around the mercenary city, just to prevent other mercenary regiments from posing a threat to you, I am right."

Grena's face changed after she said those words, but she immediately returned to normal, and she couldn't help laughing, "I really can't hide anything from you, Grand Duke, tell me, when do you plan to use it?"

"So you agree?" "Of course, if I disagree, don't you think I'm not a friend?" Julio finally laughed out loud at this moment, "Now I finally understand why Reg chose You, your cleverness is something I have never seen before. Since we are friends, let me tell the truth. I have a few guards around me now, and there is no one left. Now I want to kill me. Some people are probably already on the way, and if we hurry up, we might be able to see them outside the city tonight."

Grena nodded involuntarily, then stood up and quickly opened the door of the small living room and shouted to the outside, "Go and call Wolfe, and in addition, no one is allowed to approach the small living room today, let me take care of everyone upstairs and downstairs." , whoever dares to get close will hack him to death."

The Grand Duke smiled and shook his head, and when Greina sat back across from him, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Don't tell me you don't even ask who wants to kill me, just lend me the horses and horses? Don't be afraid that I will take these people to gnaw hard bones, Spell out all your men and horses?"

"So what if I know? Will you change your mind?" Grena smiled and looked at the Grand Duke, only to see him shake his head, "I'm not afraid of death, but I can't die at this time, otherwise the Principality will fall completely." into the hands of others, and became their slaves."

Grena waved her hand and said with a secretive smile, "I don't want to know these things, because the more I know, the more trouble I will have. Since Grand Duke, you regard me as a friend, then we will treat everything as friends." According to the rules, please tell us about your conditions, we are mercenaries, of course we can't all be dispatched to help you without benefiting at all."

This sentence made the Grand Duke laugh out loud, "You are really too smart, you always choose a retreat for yourself, so it's no wonder that your rose group develops so fast with such offensive and defensive moves, but sometimes people are still You must dare to fight hard, otherwise the great opportunity will be missed in vain, well, let me talk about the conditions I can offer."

"What? You are not lying to me, are you? These two mines and wood factories are a lot of money, and they are now owned by the Red Dragon Mercenary Group. You will not write a blank check." Believe my ears, what the Grand Duke said is that the wood factory is the best wood factory. This one alone has already moved her heart, not to mention that there is another red copper mine that is even more exciting.

The Grand Duke signaled her to calm down, "You heard me right, if the matter is successful, these two places will soon belong to your Rose Mercenary Corps, and if it fails, you can also get a huge commission, are you satisfied with such a condition? "

Greina tried her best to clear up all the doubts in her mind, and gradually a vague clue began to emerge in her mind, and a smile slowly appeared on the corner of her mouth, "My lord, you are a rare and good customer, don't worry about my rose. Although the inn is small, it is still sure to keep you safe, but I am sorry that you have to change to another place, it is too unsafe here."

The Grand Duke waved his hand, "Until the result comes out, I won't go there. It's very good here. There are good wine and beautiful women like you to play chess with me and chat with me. Let's see whose hand is faster."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Grena hurriedly stood up, only to see the Grand Duke hand her a piece of paper, "The person who will give this to you, let them do as it says." Seeing a mercenary's power of attorney handed over, "You have already confirmed that I will agree?" "Of course, I have always trusted my friends, now and in the future." Hearing this, Grena showed a bright smile on her face. .
