Chapter 714 Saving the King
Meryl is now homeless.
Although there were not many Safins, they were still nobles in the Papal States.
It was just a conspiracy of the Vatican, and only Meryl and his father guessed it.
But his father had been killed by the Vatican.
Meryl is now alone.
She is the only one with the purest Safin bloodline.
Luke couldn't take her with him, so he had to entrust her to Russell.
Under Meryl's resentful gaze, Luke mounted his horse and galloped away.
Five days later.
Somewhere on the border of the Kingdom of Jeroboni.
Luke came here and reunited with Princess Julia.
As expected, old man Congreve is here too.
Not only that, there are two legendary warlocks here as well.
One is one of the big bosses of the Warlock Guild.
The other, according to the introduction, is a legendary warlock stationed in the Kingdom of Jeroboni.
Because there is a cardinal hiding next to the eldest prince, the Warlock Guild still attaches great importance to it.
Now the old king is not dead yet, he is just sick in bed.
Therefore, all domestic affairs are controlled by the eldest prince.
Princess Julia also has supporters.
However, most of them were eliminated by the eldest prince openly or secretly.
The main reason is that Princess Julia does not want to send troops into the capital openly.
The main purpose was to prevent the eldest prince from being buried with the capital's military and civilians.
Once the fighting starts, not to mention how many people will die, the old king and the eldest prince may not survive.
Perhaps by ascending the throne, Princess Julia's attempt to force the emperor to abdicate would turn into a rebellion.
Several bosses decided that Luke's idea was the best.
If we catch the eldest prince, everything will be solved.
Those ministers who supported the eldest prince were just fence-sitters.
However, Princess Julia is no longer sure whether the royal guards are still loyal to the old king.
If she was really controlled by the eldest prince, she was afraid that accidents would happen and things out of her control would happen.
Princess Julia still leans towards the good and lawful camp.
But she is not the Virgin.
If the royal guards were still loyal to the old king, there would be no need to kill them.
If he is loyal to the eldest prince, it is okay to kill him.
It is because of uncertainty that we cannot decide whether to kill or not.
Before Luke arrived, the army commanded by Princess Julia had already sent a team of elite soldiers disguised as merchants to march towards the capital.
Now, I am still waiting for the news they find out.
Luke was anxious and had no time to wait for the news to come back.
He just needs to ask for Princess Julia's token, and then the army will be under his command.
Luke acted quickly. He took the carrier pigeon that delivered the message and headed for the capital.
Three days later, several caravans arrived in the capital.
According to Luke's observation, there were three caravans in total.
The total number of armed personnel was one hundred and fifty.
In addition, there are more than 20 professional scouts.
As soon as this group of people entered the city, they dispersed to gather information.
They set out a week earlier than Luke, but Luke arrived in the capital a day earlier than them.
These elite troops can indeed be called elite troops.
Regardless of his combat capability, at least his IQ is fine.
The three caravans had no contact with each other.
But they all know each other's existence.
When we pass by each other, I can understand what the other person means with just a glance.
The communication is extremely covert.
Being cautious is a good thing.
At least it means he is not a bad teammate.
However, before contacting this elite force, Luke still had to go into the palace.
After all, the old king is still alive. Even if others can’t cure him, he can.
At least the old king can be brought back to life and work for another twenty years.
So, at night, Luke sneaked into the palace.
This time, I really sneaked in...
It's a Snake-style infiltration, not an Assassin-style infiltration...
The old king was arranged in a secluded corner by the eldest prince.
It just happened to be Luke's plan.
As soon as he entered the room, Luke smelled a strange odor.
The old king is still in a coma.
Luke walked to the bedside and carefully observed the old king's condition.
The truth is out.
The old king was not ill, but suffering from chronic poisoning.
Now it's basically just waiting to die.
But it doesn’t matter, chronic poisoning can be cured.
The enlarged version of Save Your Life 250, one shot...
With this dose, maybe the old king can marry a younger one and have a few more children...
The benefit of the large dose was that it wasn’t long before the old king woke up.
When he saw Luke, the old king was not panicked, but there was only gratitude in his eyes.
He knew his own situation very well.
Now I can feel my body recovering, which means that the person in front of me saved me.
Seeing that the old king woke up without panic or fear, Luke sighed in his heart:
After all, he is an old fox. His psychological quality is really unmatched by ordinary people.
When Luke took out Princess Julia's token, the old king became a little excited.
Luke made a silent gesture and whispered:
"Princess Julia is currently in the army and is on her way here."
"The eldest prince has taken control of the court. The only uncertainty now is the loyalty of the royal guards. What can you do?"
The old king was silent for a while, then said in a hoarse voice:
"Clark, the old captain of the Royal Guard, find him."
"Tell him: It's time to fulfill the Wolf King's blood oath."
"He will understand, and then you can do what you want to do."
Luke nodded.
"Your body is the result of long-term poisoning. The medicine I gave you will make you recover as before, but you have to continue pretending to be sick for the next few days."
The old king smiled with difficulty and nodded.
"Thank you, warrior. I will repay you in the name of King Jeroboni."
Luke didn't care about his return.
He turned around and left the palace.
Clark, the old captain of the Royal Guard.
Luke was not familiar.
For this matter, we also need to contact the elite soldiers who have infiltrated.
They were cautious, but Luke was more cautious.
It was still the middle of the night, and the leader of the team was almost scared to death.
Hey, big brother, you are wearing a fluttering white dress in the middle of the night, you can scare people to death...
After taking out the princess's token and exchanging secret codes, the two of them soon exchanged information.
Leave the task of finding Captain Clark to them.
Although what the old king said was mysterious, Luke was also a cautious man.
I’m afraid that Clark will also side with the Crown Prince.
A day later, the person sent to contact Clark brought back the news.
"General Clark's wife and children have been secretly imprisoned by the Grand Prince."
"General Clark said that if he could save his wife and children, he would be 100% able to turn the Royal Guards against him."
Now Luke felt relieved.
This time, he didn't have that elite force, so he was more direct.
After observing the eldest prince for some time, he finally took action.
In the capital of Jeroboni, a hero named Baiteman appeared...
He appears and disappears mysteriously, punishes evil and promotes good, and acts chivalrously...
The capital's underworld has gained a lot of idiots in one day...
