Miss White Wolf's Terra Travel Journal

In this case, the sarcophagus may not be preserved.

But it's okay.

The city of Che has two hearts. Losing the sarcophagus will not have much impact on the city. Just think of it as a bargain for the Sarkaz people.

Once the Inner Guards leave, the Sarkaz mercenary team should be able to successfully enter the underground energy center and find the sarcophagus.

Kirk felt annoyed, so he left the command room and went to the intelligence hall, ordering, "Check immediately to see what the Sarkaz mercenary team is up to now. Are they heading towards the underground energy center?"

After receiving the order, the intelligence specialist quickly pulled up surveillance photos of Garson and others on the information screen.

"My Lord Earl, the target has arrived near the control tower, but they seem to have missed the entrance to the underground energy center."

"Missed it?"

"Yes, it is possible that they are not familiar with the layout of the core city, so they found the wrong place."

Kirk breathed a sigh of relief. He remembered that the control tower area was full of giant steel structures of similar shapes. People who went there for the first time would often think they had entered a steel maze, so it was normal to get lost.

The slower the Sarkaz are in finding the sarcophagus, the higher the army's chance of successfully intercepting it. The longer the delay, the less likely it is that the sarcophagus will be taken away.

In order to be cautious, Kirkdo asked:

"So where are they heading now?"

"My Lord, they are now heading towards the control tower. In my opinion, they will soon find out that they are in the wrong place."

"Control tower, control tower."

Kirk muttered to himself while squinting his eyes and staring at Garson's eyes on the screen for a while, but he could not read anything from the Sarkaz's red eyes.

"Damn Sarkaz."

He spat softly, turned around and went back to the command room, but the uneasy feeling still lingered in his heart.

Kirk knew that his heart was in turmoil.

He needs to calm down now.

He sat himself on the expensive Yan country velvet sofa, picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and then suddenly frowned.

The tea has gone cold!

What happened to the Internal Affairs Officer?

He couldn't even make a simple matter like serving tea properly. He should be disrespectful to the Earl...

He suddenly remembered that it was he who gave the order himself. No one was allowed to enter his command room unless with permission, and there was no way the internal affairs officer would come over to make tea for him.

calm.

calm down!

It was just a small accident. The sarcophagus was lost, so it was lost. He still had a lot of things in his hands. The positions of mayor and marquis were within reach, and the Grand Duke of Baikal was backing him up. The most important thing was the army, which was coming soon!

Thinking of this, Kirk let out a long sigh and regained his aristocratic elegance. He made himself a cup of hot tea and sipped it slowly.

Bang.

Viscount Wesker, who was also promoted by Grand Duke Baikal, suddenly broke in.

At this time, Kirk was in a very good mood and was unwilling to reprimand his subordinate and colleague, so he said lightly: "Wesker, you are still so impatient. If you have anything to say, please speak slowly."

Viscount Wesker gasped for breath and said intermittently: "The army, our army..."

"What happened to the army?"

"It was detained halfway!"

With a snap, Kirk's teacup hit the ground and broke into pieces.

"Who?"

"Marquis of the Imperial Army—Carolingian!"

Chapter 2023 Game of Thrones 12-25-12 00:02:

Just as Miss White Wolf expected, Count Kerk's strength should not be underestimated as he has been able to get to where he is today. Bad news is not enough to destroy such a person.

In the face of a huge crisis, Kirk quickly calmed down.

Why did Carolingian detain his troops?

No, now is not the time to think about the reasons. The most important thing is how to get the army over smoothly.

Although Carolingian was a military noble, he had been immersed in the business world for more than a decade and was probably not very clear about the situation in the military.

The troops he dispatched were originally a branch of the Third Army, that is, the Grand Duke of Baikal's. If the other party knew this information, they would not dare to detain them.

He asked calmly, "Wesker, where did the Marquis Carolingian detain our troops?"

Viscount Wesker was extremely flustered at first, but after seeing the calm expression of Count Kirk, his nervousness also dissipated a little: "At the midpoint between Collinson City and Che City."

"Did he go there in person to seize it?"

"No, he sent people to stop our march."

"What's the reason?"

"It's not clear yet, maybe..."

"What is it? Tell me."

"Chez was originally a commercial city built by Marquis Boris. As a famous noble businessman, Carolingian seems to have a lot of businesses in Che."

Kirk lowered his head and thought, his frown gradually relaxed: "Don't panic, Carolingian just detained the army outside the city of Che. As long as we resume the march, we will be there soon."

"So what do we do?"

"Two things. First, before the army arrives, step up the defense command in the city. I will be responsible for this. Second, I will give you the contact line of Grand Duke Baikal. You will contact the Duke in person and explain the situation. Humph, just because we can't deal with Carolingian doesn't mean that the Duke can't do anything either."

Viscount Wesker's eyes lit up: "I understand. We just need to tell His Excellency the Duke and ask him to put pressure on Carolingian."

"No, it's not just about putting pressure on me." A sinister look flashed across Kirk's eyes. "Your Excellency the Duke, the Marquis Carolingian is suspected of delaying the battle. According to the imperial law, he should be judged in a military court."

"Is this really appropriate?"

Viscount Wesker swallowed hard, he never expected that he would encounter an incident that would bring the Marquis to a military court. That was the Marquis of the Empire, someone who could stir up huge waves with just a flick of his finger!

However, the Grand Duke can preside over the trial of the Marquis, just as His Majesty the Emperor theoretically has the right to try the Duke.

Seeing the look on Viscount Wesker's face, Kirk shook his head secretly. The other party was a hereditary viscount aristocrat who had never seen the world. He was stuffed into his side because of his family relationship and he couldn't get rid of him, but fortunately he was obedient, so he just made do with him.

Kirk said decisively: "Don't ask too many questions, just do as I say, and you will understand why in the future."

Viscount Wesker nodded hurriedly: "Okay, okay, I'll arrange it now."

With the departure of Viscount Wesker, the command room fell silent again.

Kirk took a deep breath, lowered his head, and looked at his palms.

His five fingers were trembling slightly.

He knew that the trembling contained not only the fear of facing the unknown, but also the excitement and enthusiasm of seeing the prey.

He and the Duke of Baikal had already worked together to overthrow a marquis. Boris's death made them rich, but they also realized that these nobles who were engaged in business were all very rich.

What about Carolingian, who has even more capital than Boris?

The Duke will surely be very satisfied with this new prey.

The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind.

Carolingian.

Carolingian.

Do you know what Game of Thrones is?

……

Fort Saint.

In the solemn and magnificent Imperial Parliament Hall.

An emergency meeting regarding Chernobog is underway.

The Emperor of the Ursus Empire took his seat on the main throne, with Grand Duke Faroun and Grand Duke Masefield on both sides, and Marquis Carolingian and many noble dignitaries attending the meeting.

now.

Grand Duke Farrow crossed his hands and said solemnly, "Mr. Carolingian, do you know the significance of what you are saying?"

Carolingian calmly performed a noble salute and said, "Your Excellency, I know very well that I will take responsibility for my accusations."

Grand Duke Masefield pointed at the long conference table and said with interest: "Faroen, don't be impatient. I think these evidences are quite interesting. It doesn't hurt to let His Excellency Marquis Carolingian explain it again."

"Thank you, Lord Masefield, for your understanding." Carolingian nodded and said, "As you can see, the actual controller of Che City is Duke Baikal, and Count Kirk is just an insignificant puppet. I'm sure you wouldn't think that a small count would dare to cooperate with the regent of Kazdel."

Everyone present was a person standing at the pinnacle of power in the empire, and naturally looked down on a little-known earl. Upon hearing this, they nodded hesitantly or confusedly.

"We have enough hard evidence in front of us. It was Duke Baikal who ordered Kirk to open the gates of Che for Tresis's army. The city garrison also cooperated with the Sarkaz. While doing this, Kirk began to seek help from the outside world. The reason for the request was that the Sarkaz raided Che and they were desperately defending it."

Macefield nodded slightly. "Obviously, this is a drama directed and performed by Baikal himself. Your Excellency Carolingian, communication in Che City is inconvenient now, and this information is extremely important. If it weren't for you, the rest of us would be kept in the dark. But I want to ask, why do you know these things?"

"To be honest, I am also considered a half-merchant. Qie City is an important trading point for me. After this battle, I suffered heavy losses, but I finally got this information as compensation."

Duke Faroun said thoughtfully, "I still don't believe that Grand Duke Baikal would do such an unwise thing. The siege took place in the early morning. Is it possible that it happened suddenly and Baikal's subordinates had no choice but to cooperate with the Sarkaz temporarily in a desperate situation?"

"Please forgive me, Your Excellency the Duke." Carolingian said apologetically, "I missed a piece of information. Baikal's subordinate, Count Kirk, sent a request for troop deployment yesterday evening."

"yesterday?"

"Yes, the Third Army was controlled by Duke Baikal, and he obviously concealed this matter from the outside world. The siege of Che City took place nine hours later. I think we have reason to believe that Duke Baikal knew what would happen from the beginning."

"But he did not warn the Empire!" Duke Masefield said in a deep voice, "Not only did he not warn the Empire, but he also let his puppets create a great show."

"The question is," Duke Farron frowned, "why did Baikal do this?"

"Faroen, don't you understand?"

"Appreciate further details."

"The regent of Kazdel has been conspiring with nobles from other countries. I thought his target was Victoria, but I didn't expect that he was actually targeting Ursus."

Chapter 2023 A Game of Thrones II 12-26-12 00:02:

As soon as Grand Duke Masefield finished speaking, the parliament hall fell into silence. Everyone looked at each other without saying a word.

Marquis Carolingian was the one who made the accusation, but it was just a statement. Masefield's words were to put the accusation into practice. Now, only a few people on the field could interrupt the discussion.

Duke Farron stared into Melfield's eyes. The two looked at each other calmly for a long time. Farron lowered his head and sighed: "I have also heard about Tresis's movements, but I really didn't expect that he would reach out to Ursus."

He turned around and looked at Marquis Carolingian meaningfully: "Mr. Carolingian, you are the one who knows this information, and the source of your intelligence is more powerful than that of your Majesty's officials."

"Your Excellency the Duke, I was once ordered to investigate the Boris case for His Majesty the Emperor, so I had long been aware of Baikal's abnormality. At the same time, I have no doubt that I have become the next target of Grand Duke Baikal's elimination, so even if it is to prevent unexpected events, I will pay close attention to Baikal's situation."

When Falon saw the emperor nod, he stopped pursuing the matter and asked casually, "Does Baikal really dare to do this again and again?"

"I can't be sure." Carolingian shook his head, "But I guess even the fact that I urgently stopped the troops sent by Kirk could be used as a handle to attack."

Duke Masefield said slowly, "Mr. Carolingian, I have indeed received a secret letter. Duke Baikal believes that you have delayed the opportunity to fight, and proposed a public judgment in the military court. At the same time, he plans to activate the Third Army to rush to the aid of Che City. What do you think his purpose is? Will he take the Third Army to join Teresis?"

"Since Your Excellency the Duke has asked, I will make a bold guess. If it were me, I would probably lead the entire Third Army and pretend to participate in the rescue. But halfway through, I might suddenly have an idea, such as coming to Saint Steed Castle to 'report' the battle situation to His Majesty the Emperor."

Farron shook his head: "The Border Army can come to our aid at any time. The Third Army alone should not be able to threaten Saint Jun Castle."

Masefield shook his head and denied it. "But by that time, whether the Border Army will be contained by Tracys is still a matter of debate. We can't gamble with the safety of His Majesty the Emperor."

His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire sat nearby, nodded symbolically, and then continued in silence.

"So," Masefield concluded, "the current plan should be to take advantage of Baikal's lack of preparedness and quickly capture the Third Army."

Farrow frowned and thought: "But we must not forget that in Chernobog, there is also an infected organization called the Integration Movement."

Macefield waved his hand in disdain. "They are just thieves who sneaked in while the city of Che was in chaos. It's okay to let them make trouble for a while. The Third Army colluded with Kazdel and endangered the imperial nobles. This is the matter that should be dealt with first. Caroline, what do you think?"

"Your Excellency the Duke is right. Once Che City is in chaos, even if there is no integration movement, other infected organizations will swarm in. I heard that many people in the empire, even nobles, have been bewitched and sympathized with these rioters. We can just brush them aside now. In time, the empire will be able to see the true face of these rioters."

"That's right." Farron agreed, "There are some termites among the imperial nobles that shouldn't be there. Perhaps, after this matter is over, we need to start cleaning them up."

Then, Farrow said to Duke Masefield: "The threat from Kazdel cannot be ignored. It is better for the Southern Border Guard to continue to stand by for defense. I will have the Sixth Army ready to accept deployment at any time."

"Yes." Masefield nodded in agreement, then looked at the Emperor on the throne, "Your Majesty, do you have any objection to this resolution?"
