Chapter 70 The Royal Capital is Trapped (Part 2)

Alice took a breath and calmed down when she heard Isna's words. She knew that Isna was right. If Gula was sure that she was the one who murdered his son, her two thousand guards would not be enough.

Although the city guards were passed by Gulala, they did not do anything evil and continued to maintain public order in the city, but they just did not allow people to go out.

However, this also ensures the popularity of the royal capital. You should know that when Gula expressed his hostility to him, except for the loyal nobles of his own faction, all other nobles evacuated the capital, which made there only a dozen nobles in the capital now, and they were all old nobles who were about to leave.

If the city guards did not block the city gates, the king would probably not be able to see many people. Those people would not care about rebellion, orthodox, safety is the priority, and if the ban was released, they would have run away. However, if the king had not stored food in a sufficient amount, the people would have rioted long ago.

As for the queen who lives in this palace, she ran to the city under her faction early and waited comfortably to watch the show.

When she thought of the queen, Alice couldn't help but curse: "It must be the conspiracy of the queen, the bitch. I and Gula were the ones she would like to see! Why didn't I find her so vicious before?"

Seeing that Alice was controlled by emotions again, Isna hurriedly reminded: "Your Highness, let's continue to send someone to explain to Lord Gula now, otherwise it will be cheaper for others if it gets together."

"Well, yes, that's right, I'll send someone here."

Alice had just sent a maid to pass the order, and a maid ran in with joy on her face and shouted, "Your Highness, the troops sent by Lord Cons have been in touch with our people!"

"What!" Alice was immediately surprised and finally waited for her own troops. She couldn't help but ask: "Is it Carlo leading the team? How many troops are there?"

"It was led by Lord Carlo, with 20,000 infantry and 20,000 cavalry, totaling 40,000!" The maid answered quickly.

"Okay, send someone to tell him the information here immediately!" Alice's nervous mind immediately relaxed. Although her troops were not as strong as Gula's 100,000, she was not at a disadvantage. Carlo's 40,000 were all elites who had experienced war.

When Isna heard that Carlo was the one who led the team, she couldn't help frowning slightly. Cons was dissuaded and could not come, indicating that Alice had begun to manipulate power and was no longer the carefree princess who used to be.

Although I have long expected this day to come, why do I feel uncomfortable in my heart?

Isna felt a little hard to understand about her feelings.

"How is the situation?" Carlo asked the scout.

"Sir, the 50,000 city guards in the royal capital have surrendered to Gula and now they have completely controlled the capital!"

Carlo was shocked and asked immediately, "What! Where is the princess? Is the princess okay?" Although he knew that the situation in the capital was tense, he did not expect that Gula had already controlled the capital and hoped that he would not be late.

"Your Highness the Princess is safe, and the palace is still under the control of the Imperial Guards." The scout said hurriedly.

"That's good." Carlo breathed a sigh of relief, but he quickly frowned.

Carlo, with 30,000 armed soldiers and 10,000 logistics soldiers, escorted a large number of supplies. As soon as he entered the territory of the royal capital, he received news of Gula's rebellion. While sending people to inquire about the details, he armed the 10,000 logistics soldiers and began to launch an attack formation.

Soon the person sent by the princess to convey the message also saw Carlo. When he learned about the information from the capital, he immediately ordered the army to advance without saying a word, preparing to fight to save the princess.

To outsiders, Carlo's behavior was simply a death sentence. The Cons army, who was used to fighting with less, did not take Gula's 50,000 city guards and 50,000 cavalry seriously, but instead rushed towards the king with a fierce momentum.

But what puzzled the world was that Gula's city guards did not resist at all and retreated directly to the cavalry corps' garrison, and then Gula's 100,000 people left the capital in a mighty manner.

When he entered the capital, he immediately controlled all the key points and sent cavalry to monitor the Gula troops. He was relieved until he learned that Gula troops were directly withdrawing from the city of Wilt.

"Strange, what's going on? Why did Gula leave so easily?" Alice said curiously.

"Maybe Lord Gula believes you are not the murderer of Kane?" Isna, who was glad that there would be no civil war in the country, said relaxed.

"If this is the case, then why does Gula still not receive the messenger I sent?" Alice asked in confusion.

"Uh, yes, why is this?" Isna was also confused.

"Are he afraid of the troops brought by Carlo? It's impossible. Why do I say that there are only 40,000 people on my side, and he has 100,000 people?" Alice muttered to herself, but she quickly threw these unknown things aside and turned to pay attention to the matter of the royal capital.

Now the king can be said to have really fallen into his own hands. As long as he controls the capital and has a powerful army, he will recover the rivers and mountains and ascend the throne to the king, it is just around the corner.

"Carlo, you performed well, drove Gula out of the capital and restored the order of the capital. Now I enthroned you as a first-class knight, viscount, and commander of the Second Legion."

Although there were very few noble officials in the palace hall, Alice still rewarded Carlo, the hero.

Alice looked at Carlo differently. There was no way. Who told Carlo to save her life? Needless to say, loyalty is needed, and she was obedient. She pulled the troops with one order, and she would never delay it. And now she relies on Carlo to control the capital, so she can't do it without rewarding her.

Isna frowned when she heard this reward. Not to mention that Carlo came to rescue on the surface on Cons' order, even this time Carlo did not make any military achievements, because Gula retreated on his own and was not driven away at all.

Also, Carlo's boss Cons is still a brigade commander, why didn't he enthrone Cons first? He actually made Carlo jump on Cons' head? His Royal Highness's order is a bit exaggerated, right? Does it mean that Cons has been abandoned?

Isna originally wanted to dissuade Alice, but before she could say anything, Carlo had already knelt down and accepted the reward: "Thank you, I will transport one million gold coins and two hundred thousand dan of food with the army this time. Please accept it."

Carlo did not consider that his superiors had a lower rank than him. In his opinion, Cons was the princess's subject and he was also the princess's subject. The princess rewarded him had nothing to do with Cons.

"Haha, OK, very good, you did a very good job!" Alice, who was in a state of trouble, couldn't help but laugh when she heard that there were millions of gold coins and 200,000 dan of grain.

The noble officials present also flattered and praised Alice's wisdom. Of course, they could not help but pat Lord Carlo. No one could see that Alice had become a big celebrity. When Isna, who understood the state of the treasury, heard this, she didn't say anything. She knew that Alice could not change her words at all.

Although the two cavalry team leaders were dissatisfied with the officials not flattering him, they still responded happily. They couldn't wait to look at Alice, thinking that Carlo could be named the commander of the legion, and then they would definitely become the commander of the legion.

However, Alice's next words made them start to be stunned: "Well, Carlo, you only have 40,000 elite soldiers now. You are allowed to recruit 10,000 strong men and form a complete Second Legion, and report the list of legion officers for approval by our palace. Now you have to temporarily manage the city prevention and security of the military headquarters and the royal capital, and then hand over the new city guards after the establishment of the new city guards."

The fool understood when he heard this. The princess counted 20,000 cavalry into Carlo's legion. How could this work? She was on par with Carlo! If it weren't for Lord Cons' order, she wouldn't have to listen to his orders at all! It was related to her future. The two cavalry team leaders couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, what do you mean is that our 20,000 cavalry also belongs to the Second Legion?" They didn't dare to be reckless, and needed to confirm again whether they heard it wrong.

"Well, that's right, you are now the commanders of the division. You must cooperate with Lord Carlo to lead the troops." Alice in a very good mood said softly to the two cavalry team leaders. She had no idea that her words fell into the ears of the two cavalry team leaders, just like a cold wind blew by.

An impatient cavalry team leader wanted to protest, but was stopped by another cavalry team leader. The team leader respectfully saluted Alice and said, "As for your order, the cavalry is still deploying defenses everywhere in the royal city, which is really harmful to the appearance of the royal capital. Please gather your subordinates and go out of the city to camp."

Alice and others thought that this team leader was referring to the fact that the military horses could defecate everywhere. Thinking of the beautiful Wangdu streets, Alice immediately agreed.

After leaving the palace, the cavalry team leader who was stopped by his companions immediately complained: "How did you stop me just now? I don't want to obey the orders under Carlo!"

Another cavalry team leader immediately said: "You think I am willing, but don't you realize that the princess has been bought by Carlo's one million gold coins and two hundred thousand dan of grain? If we protest, not only will it be fruitless, but we may be arrested and imprisoned immediately!"

"Damn it! Those million gold coins and two hundred thousand dans of food, but when is it his turn to dedicate it to the princess in his own name?"

"That's right, I see Carlo silently and have no special performance. I didn't expect that the competition for merit was so powerful. The credit for so many people in our entire Cons army was taken away by him alone."

"Yes, the worst thing is Lord Cons, who took us to fight to the death in poor mountains and rivers, bleeding and sweating, regaining a large area of ​​land, appeaseing a large number of people, and still a brigade commander.

"Where is that guy Carlo? He ran back and shouted, presented our spoils, and did nothing, and comfortably became a first-class knight, viscount, and the commander of the Second Legion! Not only did he climb onto our heads, but he also climbed onto Lord Cons!"

"Carlo is simply an ungrateful ungrateful wolf! It's a pity that Lord Cons promoted him from a soldier. Look, he didn't mention Lord Cons' name at all, as if everything was decided by him. He didn't think that without Lord Cons' orders, we would still listen to him to rescue the princess?"

"Damn it! All the people in the royal capital are blind!"

"What should we do now? Should we follow the princess' orders to be the division commander of the Second Legion?"

"Don't even think about it. Even if I die, I will not be a colleague of that ungrateful wolf, let alone his subordinate!"

"What should I do? Didn't Lord Cons say he should obey the princess' orders?"

"Hehe, Lord Cons also said that we must firmly control the troops and not let people swallow them. Now Carlo wants to swallow us!"

"Then let's go back to Lord Cons now! But what excuse should we use?"

"On the outside world, we are not in danger. We have to go back to participate in the war to recover the country. Just tell the truth inside, let's see if the infantry heard that Lord Cons was still the commander of the brigade and Carlo became the commander of the legion. Will they follow us."

"Hehe, I believe that after the infantry heard these situations, more than half of the people would go back with us. Carlo didn't think about whether he could compare with Lord Cons? He really thought he could command us."

"The gold coins may have been sent to the palace, but the 200,000 dan of grain is not so easy to move all of them. We will bring the grain back without leaving a single grain for Carlo, the ungrateful wolf!"
