Chapter 360 Enrish (5)
Because of Danica's concentration of power and balanced control of political power, when she was in a coma or couldn't make a decision, neither Aishi nor Catherine could control the situation. For example, when she was assassinated, the whole situation was controlled by Phyllis, and now, it was Maines who coordinated various actions.
After all the Guards returned, at least some security was guaranteed. Maines also knew that there were no high-level professionals in the Guards except Emily, but they had many magic weapons in their hands, including various powerful magic crossbow arrows specially bought from the elves. As long as they could be used well, they would definitely have a great deterrent effect.
However, Maines is not one of the queens of the Gemini Kingdom like Phyllis. She can only let the guards shrink around the camp, and she can't do anything else. Aishi will listen to her words. Catherine is not familiar with her and can ignore her orders at all.
Now Catherine is commanding the army to continue attacking Enris City, while Maines and Aishi are guarding the tent, waiting for Danica to wake up. If Danica does not wake up, no one will decide what to do next.
The maid was arranged to lay a layer of bedding on the ground, and Maines lay on it - to be safe, she planned to guard Danica all night. Aishi was lying on the table. After a day of hard work, Aishi was already very tired, but Aishi couldn't sleep. She felt very uneasy now... The source of this uneasy came from Catherine! At this time, Aishi realized that she had always said that Emily didn't believe in Catherine, but in fact she did not give the woman the trust. Now the master is in a coma, Emily is not aware of it, and Catherine controls all the troops of the Gemini Kingdom. If she leads troops in... Thinking of this, Aishi couldn't help but tremble: "It's so cold." She muttered this, as if it was really because of the cold wind in late spring.
Ai Xue was just thinking about continuing to sleep on her tummy for a while, a maid hurriedly walked in and saw that Maines was resting, so she walked to Ai Xue and whispered, "General Catherine is here."
"Catherine!" Ai Xue jumped up. She was so afraid of anything she was going to do!
Ai Xue's voice was a little loud. Maines, who was already asleep in a daze, woke up. She sat up and asked, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
"Catherine is coming!"
"Oh, so..." Maines couldn't figure out why Ai Xue looked like she was a ghost.
"This..." Ai Xue didn't know how to explain for a moment. Could she tell Maines that she didn't believe Catherine at all now? Finally, Ai Xue stammered: "She is now carrying an elite army of 30,000!"
Ai Xue said a little vaguely, but Maines, who grew up listening to the stories of political struggles since childhood, still understood that Ai Xue was worried that Catherine would rebel! In this world, the greater the fist, the greater the power. For a person, the size of the "fist" mainly comes from his own professional rank. For a country, "fist" refers to the army. The army is too important for a country. Generally speaking, the king often leads the army himself. Even without this military talent, the rulers of the kingdom will arrange several generals to check and balance each other. All military powers like the Gemini Kingdom are all from Kai.
Serene is actually a bold thing to control herself. The reason why nothing happened yet is mainly due to Danica's terrifying impression in Catherine's heart. The Guards, as a military force, can confront the Gemini Kingdom army to a certain extent, and the Aishey Chamber of Commerce's strict control of the military supplies. But now, there are problems in all three aspects. Danica is in a coma and Emily is also in a coma, which has led to the Guards being in an uncontrollable state, because the army has received nearly a month of supplies before. Now is indeed the best time for Catherine to lead troops to rebel, if she intends to do so.
Maines smiled reluctantly and said, "Don't worry, things won't be that bad, and Catherine doesn't have the courage. Even if she seizes the Gemini Kingdom, what can she do? She still expects Phyllis to recognize her rule over the Kingdom?"
Maines' comfort made Ai Xue feel a little relieved, but at this moment, the sound of neat army formations came from outside the tent. Ai Xue felt her legs were a little weak. Could it be that Catherine really planned to lead troops to rebel?
To be honest, Maines was a little upset now, but she forced herself to calm down and said, "Let's go out and have a look."
Maines took Aishe out of the tent, but saw that the guards were lined up, and it seemed that they were guarding against Catherine who was about to arrive, but... who gave the order?
Ai Xue stopped a five-feather guard who walked over from the camp and asked, "Amilly awake?"
Seeing that it was Ai Xue, the Five Feather Guard stopped and replied: "Not yet, Commander Emily is still in a coma."
"Then what are you doing, and who gave the order?"
The Wuyu Guard said, "This is the order under the commander."
Her words made Ai Xue confused, and she said, "You just told me that Emily was still in a coma. Did she know in advance that this would happen?"
This sentence stopped Wuyu Guard Chief. She obviously knew the answer, but this answer seemed not easy to say.
"Or do the Guards have other commanders?" said Maines, who was standing aside.
The Five Feather Guard was a little overwhelmed, and she said, "After Commander Emily wakes up, you can ask her." After that, she ran and left.
Although the Five Feathers Guard did not give a clear answer, Maines had already got the answer: "The Guards do have other commanders."
Ai Xue locked her brows and said, "Why haven't I heard of it at all?" Ai Xue knew that the guards were completely controlled by Emily alone, and she had never heard of anyone else!
"Okay, let's talk about this later, Catherine is here."
Ai Xue was shocked and saw Catherine walking towards her alone. She seemed to have just come down from the battlefield, with blood and many marks of chopping on her armor. The war tonight consumed a lot of her energy and physical strength, and she looked very heavy when she walked.
Seeing that it was Catherine alone, Ai Xue sighed and greeted her, saying with some strange and enthusiastic words: "Catherine, you are here."
Catherine glanced at the guards who had already been lined up and asked, "How is Her Majesty the Queen?"
Aishi replied: "Miss. Maines Solomon and I helped the master bandage the wound. The blood has stopped, but the master is still in a coma."
Katherine said, “Can I go and see Her Majesty the Queen?”
Ai Xue hesitated for a moment, turned her head to look at Maines, saw her nodding slightly, and then said, "Okay, of course it's OK."
Aishi took Catherine toward Danica's camp. When passing by Maines, Catherine nodded at her.
After entering the camp, Catherine did not come to the front, but looked at Danica who was lying on the bed more than a meter away, turned around and said to Ai Xue, "The attack is still continuing, I'm going back." As she said that, she walked towards the door.
Seeing that Catherine had used a color on her, Ai Xue quickly said, "Okay, I'll give you a gift."
The two walked out of the camp several hundred meters before Catherine stopped and said to Aishi: "We are all Her Majesty's men, it is credible. What's going on with that woman from Maines Solomon? Is she credible?"
It turned out that Catherine called herself over and said this. Aishi explained: "Maines was the master's classmate when he was studying at Bunos Magic Academy. He was his master's good friend and could be trusted." To be honest, both identities Aishi said were not very reliable, but she couldn't tell Catherine that Danica and Maines jointly founded a shameful warlock organization, Lilith's Secret Magic Club!
Sure enough, Catherine was not satisfied with Aishi's reply. She frowned and said, "You and Emily are responsible for the life and safety of Her Majesty the Queen. This is because Her Majesty's trust in you, but you do not allow you to transfer this trust... You don't need to get the consent of Maines for everything."
Ai Xue stood there a little embarrassedly. There was no problem with Katherine's words. She really didn't need to win the consent of Maines in everything, but she was not a person who was used to controlling the whole audience, although she had already controlled a huge chamber of commerce.
Seeing Ai Xue's speechless look, Catherine said, "No matter what you think, I don't trust the woman, Maines. I will send a team of five personal guards to monitor Maines. You can use them as maids, it doesn't matter." After that, he turned around and left.
"This..." Looking at Catherine's back, Ai Xue didn't know what to say.
After returning to the camp, Meins looked at her with an inquiring look. Aishi knew that she wanted to ask why Catherine asked herself out just now, but this sentence was hard to say. Should she tell Maines that Catherine didn't trust her at all?
As expected, she was not someone who could control the scene. Ai Xue smiled bitterly in her heart, avoided the look of Maines, and lay on the table to pretend to continue sleeping.
Seeing that Ai Xue avoided her inquiries, Maines did not force her, so she yawned and lay down.
The Queen of Gemini Kingdom's camp was quiet, but in fact, Aishi, Maines, and Catherine, who returned to the front line to command, all had different thoughts and their own ideas. No one knew how the three of them should get along with each other if Danica was just unconscious and what level of suspicion would be.
Fortunately, the bad situation did not happen. Danica woke up at dawn. Although she was still weak, as long as she regained consciousness, everything would be on the right track.
Seeing Danica wake up, Aishi was about to cry. This night was too difficult. Only then did she realize that once she lost Danica, the strong queen, the entire Gemini Kingdom would immediately fall into the abyss of disorder and collapse.
Seeing Ai Xue's look surprised and happy, with tears in her eyes, Danica was a little confused. When did this girl feel so sentimental? She gestured with her eyes and asked Ai Xue to feed her some water before saying in a hoarse and powerless voice: "How is Catherine?"
Aishi put the water cup aside and said, "Catherine has led her troops into Enris City and is now clearing out the participating resistance forces. I believe that we will be able to completely control the city soon."
Danica was obviously relieved. Although her face was still pale, her expression became much more relaxed. She asked again: "Where is Emily, she should be injured, it's nothing serious!"
Ai Xue said: "Emily also fell into a coma, but her vital signs are normal, and I believe she will wake up soon."
Danica smiled and said, "After suffering such a severe injury, Emily must be hungry again when she woke up. This time you have to prepare some delicious food for her."
Ai Xue smiled and said, "Everything is ready. The big chunks of pork have been stewed and you can take it out at any time."
Danica said: "I feel that thing is greasy, and I don't know why Ai Xue likes it so much."
Ai Xue said: "Everyone has their own taste, the owner likes... Emily may think that it is too troublesome to eat the fish that the owner likes to eat." Ai Xue almost told the secret that Danica likes to eat biological toxins.
Danica smiled and said to Meines: "You haven't had a rest all night, right? Since you have already attacked Enris, there is nothing wrong here. You'd better go back and rest for a while. I see you have dark circles."
"Is that?" said Maines, exaggeratingly, "Well, then I'll go and make up for my sleep. This night is really troublesome."
After Maines left, the smile on Danica's face gradually disappeared and she said tiredly: "Tell me, what happened tonight?"
Aishi hesitated for a moment, but told her and Maines that she and Maines were suspicious of Catherine. Catherine suspected of Maines, and the Guards had received some orders. When Catherine came over, she said these things.
Danica sighed, but also made some comments, just saying, "I know, I'm a little hungry, you go and prepare some food, just a little light."
"Yes, master." Ai Xue responded and went out.
