Chapter 209

Lukavv was laughing hysterically as he read the report from Georgio, "hahaha, as expected of the guy I allied with . I am sure this has shaken a lot of hearts in the kingdom as nobles would fear him for taking revenge if they act against him . John has surely found a gem this time around . No bullshit, straight killings just like my old way . "
Duncan smiled and with a sigh, he answered, "However this would likely jeopardize their relationship with the Royal family as they will put a complete blockade on him . "
Lukavv mocked as he spoke, "They weren't doing him any favors, to be honest . I am sure this slap would be ringing for quite a while into Lionheart's face . However, this time he will have to bear it since he has hit an iron plate this time around . "
Duncan nodded, "From this whole incident, Only Fjord and we profited off the most I believe . However, Hector has gained a big adversary after his whole conspiracy . It seems Count John takes a lot after you, Milord . "
Lukavv sighed and spoke with a serious face, "Yes, we can't help it since he started the conflict with him . He would most likely pay for his wrongdoings . Is the information you have correct?"
Duncan nodded and gave a report by his spies, "Yes, It was ordered by Prince Hector . He had colluded with the mercenaries so that your father could move against him . We have confirmed reports of the money trail and multiple reports that Gold rush mercenaries and Prince Hector's men were responsible for the massacre at Greenwoods Village . Currently, the mercenary Joss is in possession of gold which Prince Hector gave to Jim as he was seen splurging his money in western capital Gritos recently . "
Lukavv had an angry face as he confirmed Hector's role, "So, he really was responsible for it . Ok, make the preparations for the attack . "
Duncan smiled and answered, "Lord, this is the first report from him in the north . "
Lukavv asked with a serious face, "What is it?"
Duncan gave the report, "He says that Templars and the Royal family plan to attack Count John 4-5 days later . "
Lukavv smiled as he remembered his pact 7 Years ago after the Red Lake City Incident, "It seems he is finally starting to act . Good . We too will attack Felix 4 days later . We will not get a better chance . "

Charlie was quite surprised as read the report from his knight Robin, "Woah, this count and his men are dangerous for sure, 70,000 men in one day? I never expected such an outcome . That General is dangerous for sure from the way he engaged with his enemies . It's good that I never acted and let Hector make his moves otherwise I would have made a big enemy . "
Robin nodded, "Yes, Prince . "
Charlie asked about another important matter, "What were the weapons that they used recently?"
Robin gave the report, "It seems they are using some shoes and other accessories on the horses to maintain balance and more efficiency . We heard it from Joss who noticed the peculiarity . He thinks they are likely the reason why they are able to use bows on a horse while bringing out more efficiency . "
Charlie nodded, "Hmm . . . This information will be quite useful . Ok, we will report it to the radiant church . It would be useful to them since they are mobilizing just recently . "

Queen of Ayananore kingdom, Kaylin recently got some news from Rebecca that Joanna was showing signs of improvement and recovery, She asked her as she had her own doubts, "How did her body recover so fast when we were barely keeping her alive with 24 hours check-ups?"
Rebecca hesitated for a while, "Speak up, what are you hiding?" Queen roared,
"It's Princess Emena who gave her some medicine recently that might have done the trick . Ambassador Alisson and Strategist Mist had recently sent a parcel to Princess that might have a cure and it is finally showing the effects . "
Kaylin was surprised as she heard Rebecca, "What . When did such a miraculous medicine become available? Did they get it from some Sage who was researching on Malaria?"
Rebecca shook her head and answered, "No, it is our alliance partners, North-frontier City's Count, John who made the medicine . "
Kaylin was curiously reading Mist's letter as she heard Rebecca, "Interesting, I haven't seen that girl quite some time, Where is she?"
"Actually . . . " Rebecca hesitated as she was about to say but she saw Elf King Eden's eyes and didn't speak .
Kaylin lifted her brows and spoke with an angry tone, "What are both of you hiding? Speak fast, you wouldn't want to face the consequences when I am angry . "
Finally, Rebecca broke under pressure as she avoided Eden's eyes and narrated the whole incident about Emena's departure and why she left .
Eden murmured as he saw the helpless face of Rebecca, "Damn it, these guys can't even hide one thing . I guess must be ready for a beating . "
Thomas sighed as he heard Rebecca and spoke to Queen Kaylin, "Queen I have already sent Head Binz and the whole squad for the protection of Princess Emena . "
Kaylin roared as she knew that he must have known about Emena's departure, "Shut up, You guys dare send her in a warzone without consulting me? Don't you know the consequences? Now, give a complete report on Joanna's Health . "
Rebecca hurried immediately and answered, "Aah, yes . "
After detailed discussions, the meeting was concluded,
Kaylin spoke as read the report of Mist, "Hmm . . . This count is quite interesting to be able to convince Alison and Mist to make an alliance with us . From now on activate our spies and keep an eye on him as well . I heard there have been big moves taking place in Aelius currently, Even that Ludwin has started contacting with Fjord from our unconfirmed sources . We need to be alert . It's good that we found someone worth allying . "
Thomas answered, "Yes, Your majesty . "
Kaylin suddenly asked, "What is the situation on Violent eastern belt?"
Thomas sighed and gave the answer, "It's the same as before . Even Our best ships can't cross that Violent sea belt unless we have better ships . "
Kaylin thought and gave the answer, "Ok . . . Bring this letter to Alison and Mist . "

Lionheart cursed as he read a report while he was traveling back to the Imperial city, "Godammit, that bastard is hellbent on refuting me . 70,000 men, even though I wanted a solution for those mercenaries but they could have been useful for me to some extent . The most I expected was casualties as high as 10,000 where I intended to use them . That guy is really a lunatic . "
