People in Terra, poor and weak but invincible

Chapter 615: Meeting at the Duke's Mansion

"Are you sweating profusely, bro?"

Qi Yan smiled at the captain of the self-rescue army, and the latter forced an embarrassed smile.

Even though he knew that Qi Yan was on his side, his record was too astonishing.

He fought two Sarkaz court lords alone without any injury. In a rage, a blood column broke through the sky, dispersing the most terrifying natural disaster in the history of this land. He supported the city with blood and suppressed the blood demon lord with a wave of his hand...

A strong person of this level will inevitably cause fear even if he is one of our own.

Qi Yan patted the leader of the self-rescue army on the shoulder, causing the latter to tremble with fear.

"Don't be nervous. Help me lead the way. I can't find Aledae's house." Qi Yan explained.

"Okay, okay, come with me."

The captain of the self-rescue army was terrified and did not dare to ask Qi Yan why he knew the name Aledai. He turned around and led his teammates to lead the way.

After taking two steps, he hesitated for a moment, turned his head and asked Qi Yan:

"In order not to expose the base of the Self-Defense Forces, we must conceal our tracks and take the small roads.

This is not because I don't trust your ability, Mr. Qi Yan, nor is it to ask you to condescend, it's just... just a self-help army..."

"I know."

Qi Yan waved his hand impatiently to interrupt this guy.

The captain of the self-rescue army didn't dare to say anything more and just led the way obediently.

……

……

1:34 PM

Central city area, Duke of Cumberland Palace.

Amiya and the Doctor sat on the sofa in the living room, and the Doctor silently looked at Vina who was sitting opposite them.

On both sides of Vina sat Clovisia and a Filin woman with short white hair.

Even though this woman tried hard to maintain her condition, she could not hide the fatigue between her brows.

It was not the fatigue after staying up late or doing physical labor, but a kind of mental pressure that had accumulated bit by bit over the years.

"Aleda, can you hold on?" Vina looked at the tired Filin woman and asked.

"Alexandrina... Your Highness, I..."

"Just call me Vina, just like I call you Aledae directly." Vina shook her head and interrupted Aledae.

The doctor continued to watch Vina deal with the situation on her own, with no intention of interrupting.

The team was picked up by the self-rescue army in the central city. After arriving at the central area by train, it was Aleda's men who helped transfer the team to a base that had not yet been discovered by the Sarkaz and hid it.

Even the doctor was a little surprised at the identity of the woman in front of him, whose name was Aleda.

The leader of the Central District Self-Defense Army, an old acquaintance of Clovisia, and the daughter of the Duke of Cumberland of Victoria...

"Vina... I never thought I would see you like this." Alede perked up and pulled the corners of her mouth to reveal a smile, "When Isabel, oh, she is now using the code name, Dagda...

When she found me, I was really surprised. I thought all the knights in the tower had died. Of course, the one who surprised me the most was... you."

Vina's expression was also a little complicated.

She looked at Aledea and whispered:

"I was also surprised. I thought that most of the people who wanted to find me wanted to kill me."

"maybe."

Aledae shook her head and whispered, "But even among this group of people, quite a few have changed their minds. You can see that in Londinium today... people have long lost their freedom.

Civilians, nobles, merchants, soldiers, they either became slaves of the Sarkaz or were struggling to survive to the next day.

I am afraid that when they dream in the middle of the night, they will shout "Your Majesty" in their mouths. They are longing for someone to come back and bring them new changes and hope. "

Vina didn't respond and fell into silence abruptly.

Aledae's voice was very low, without any questions or requests, but it made Vina feel an indescribable pressure.

"Vina..."

Clovisia suddenly spoke up: "Your identity really surprised me and made me a little nervous. I thought you were just an ordinary 'local' who wanted to come back to save your compatriots."

"I really want to come back and save them." Vina never wavered on this point.

Klovicia smiled and nodded:

“Yes, we are all sitting here because of this idea, so now is not the time for us to feel emotional.

The battle between Qi Yan and the two great lords of the Sarkaz royal court made the already tense situation even more unpredictable, and many forces will start a new round of actions because of this battle.

Our top priority is also what to do next.”

Having said that, Clovisia's eyes swept across the faces of everyone in front of her, and finally returned to Vina.

"Vina, you are the crown prince of Victoria, we need you to stand up." Clovisia said firmly, "I will lead the self-rescue army to fully support your actions."

Seeing that Clovisia took the lead in expressing her opinion, Alede also nodded and said:

"I have some connections and channels in the Central District. Whether it's supplies or more military support, I have a way to get them."

"That alone is not enough."

Vina suddenly shook her head and suggested to the two: "Rhodes Island will be very helpful to the Self-Rescue Army's next move, or in other words, both sides can provide great convenience to each other.

Cooperation is still the best option. We should exchange our intelligence and goals with each other to achieve deeper cooperation."

Clovisia and Aledea were both stunned for a moment.

After they both expressed their opinions, Vina actually chose to stand in the Rhodes Island camp to think about the problem.

Before, when Vina's identity as the crown prince was not revealed, this attitude was understandable, but at this moment, Vina's subconscious decision made the two of them feel a little unsure about how to deal with it.

Seeing the discomfort between the two, Vina explained:

“My goal has never changed. I am the crown prince of Victoria. I came back here to save my people and regain the throne.

But until then, I am still a member of Rhodes Island, and you don't need to treat me as someone special."

“…We understand.”

Clovisia and the other two nodded in understanding.

Vina continued: "Qi Yan is now acting alone outside. We cannot count him as one of the forces we can control. Now we need to rely on our own strength."

"Qi Yan won't come to help us?" Aledai was a little surprised.

"Mr. Qi Yan must have his own things to do." Amiya spoke up for Qi Yan immediately. "He is also working hard. We can cooperate with him, but we can't ask him to put down his own things to cater to us."

Upon hearing this result, Aledai's expression changed visibly for a moment.

The doctor rolled his eyes under the cover of the mask, and doubted whether what Qi Yan was busy with now was serious business.

He coughed lightly and took the initiative to speak:

"Let's ignore the over-energetic white dog for now. I have some ideas that I'd like to discuss with you all.

Some of the Sarkaz's trump cards have been revealed by the White-Haired Dog when he jumped onto the table. The airship and the Shard represent absolute high-altitude fire suppression and controllable natural disasters.

Please do not let your guard down just because Qi Yan is playing with them like toys. These two can easily crush the Self-Defense Army and Rhodes Island, and even have an unimaginable suppressive power over the Duke's army outside the city."

Clovisia followed the doctor's words and said:

"So next we need to find a way to target these two. According to Fester's analysis, when the airship appeared, we could still see that there were many unfinished structures. This is our opportunity."

"Then here comes the problem." The doctor spread his hands, "Although Londinium is large and has sufficient supplies, it is still not enough to support the Sarkaz in repairing a large ship of that scale.

Including the sudden appearance of the Sarkaz royal army, the scavenger army that appeared out of nowhere scared the dukes."

"This means that the Sarkaz have an unknown supply line." Clovisia said solemnly.

"So the simplest and most necessary way to stop the Sarkaz is to cut off their supplies!" The doctor clenched his fists lightly.

"For a supply of that scale, there must be relevant clues left in the factory in Highbury."

"I was chatting with Feist and I found out he was from Highbury."

The Doctor and Clovisia chatted with each other, and the more they talked, the smoother their thoughts became.

In the end, the two of them clapped their hands at the same time and happily finalized the details of the cooperation.

"Fester can lead you to the military factory, bypassing the Sarkaz's spies." Clovisia said confidently.

"This is not enough. We need other more reliable sources of information to be prepared for both scenarios." The doctor seemed calmer.

Clovisia bowed her head and pondered for a moment before giving her advice:

"The City Defense Command Headquarters is located at the junction of the Central District and Highbury District, and controls the information network of the entire Londinium City Defense System.

Since the supply route passes through Londinium, it must be recorded in the system."

"But I heard that most of the city defense forces chose to surrender to the Sarkaz." The doctor reminded.

Clovisia nodded: "The city defense commander Leto defected to the Sarkaz a few years ago."

Amiya took the initiative to take on this mission:

"I can bring people to make contact. With the Storm Troopers here, we can try to have peaceful communication. If that fails, I will bring people to use force.

As long as there are clues in the city defense headquarters, Kulushiel will definitely be able to retrieve them with his abilities."

"Then I'll be in charge of the supplies." Alede also spoke up to take on tasks within her capabilities. "In addition, I can also provide some mercenary support for Vina."

"Provide mercenaries to Vina?" Clovisia was a little puzzled.

Vina looked at her and nodded in confirmation:

"While you are taking action, I am also going to look for Victoria's national sword, the Breath of Kings. Aledae will act with me."
