This Plug-in is Too Middle School

Two days later, on the main road leading to the south of the Dusk Mountains, Jessica in black leather armor rode her black horse to guard the roadside, beside a knight in black armor.

"Miss Jessica, our spies under the Marquis of Gilbert have not received any news from the Queen, and the scouts on the main road have never seen a similar team, not even the horseshoe prints going south. Could it be that he didn't mean to contact Gilber, but simply gave up on Flange and ran away?"

Jessica shook her head and replied: "Impossible, the troops under Ji Bo's command are her reliance on recapturing Frank, and she will definitely contact Ji Bo. That woman is definitely not someone who will give up easily. If she doesn't defend the capital, then It must be taking a detour from the Dusk Mountains, avoiding our scouts and heading south!"

The scar on the black-armored knight's face shook. "My subordinates think that even if the queen is tough, she probably won't think about relying on a thousand defenders to defend the capital... Our vanguard alone has 10,000 infantry and nearly a thousand knights, so we chose to defend the king. It's no different from courting death."

Jessica glanced at him and said lightly: "I said she would probably choose to stick to it, but did I say she would stick to the capital?"

The black armored knight was stunned for a moment. "You mean... the royal palace?"

"That's right." Jessica narrowed her eyes and carefully identified a group of people riding horses from afar. When she realized that it was not the person she wanted to see, she lowered her eyes in disappointment.

"If she chooses to stick to it, she will definitely move all those who can fight to the palace. When the kings of France were in power, they would repair the palace at least three or five times.

You have also seen that palace. After hundreds of years of accumulation, the outer wall is no worse than the city wall of the royal capital. In addition to the lack of a moat, there are battlements, watchtowers, and even arrow towers, but the length to be guarded is longer than that of the outer wall of the royal city. It was too short, and there was still hope for more than a thousand defenders to recruit enough civilians to stay for more than ten days. "

The black armored knight named Amelian recalled the city wall of the palace. Not only were there large blocks of stones, but also three layers of lime, sand, and broken rocks were used to compact the back, although he painted a lot of inexplicable things for the sake of appearance. , but no doubt frighteningly strong.

If the queen really leads people to retreat to the palace, relying on the front army composed of civilians and knights, it is indeed difficult for them to break in in a short time, but to say that they can hold for a week or two, Amelian thinks it is a bit exaggerated.

"You're right, retreating to the palace can indeed bring us a lot of trouble, but it's just trouble, as long as the big army comes over, the queen will be like a bug, easily run over by Lord Andy and you. ."

More than a dozen knights dashed across the main road, and the soaring horses' hooves kicked up the dust in the sky. Jessica on the side of the road covered her face with her hands, staring at the backs of the knights and snorted coldly.

"Trouble? Crush to death? Did you see the food hoarding in the palace? That woman was obviously ready to defend herself, but she just gave up at the last moment."

She patted the dust on her body and said solemnly: "The food is enough for 10,000 people to last for more than half a month, and there is still a lot of fuel in the warehouse, that woman should have planned to burn down the capital. If she really If you did that, and destroyed all the external passages of the palace, then you should be staring in the capital now, where is the chance to intercept her here?"

The black-armored knight's expression changed when he heard the words, and there was a slight sweat oozing out of his forehead.

If Her Majesty the Queen chooses to set fire to the city, they can only watch from outside the palace, and it is impossible to even approach in a short time, and food, supplies, and even drinking water will become a huge trouble. If it was really dragged to the aid of Duke Cole and the Marquis of Gilbert, it was really uncertain who died.

Glancing at Amelian, who was drenched in cold sweat, Jessica said lightly: "As for why she gave up in the end, it's just because of limited food. If you want to keep the palace, you can only take the young and strong first, and the rest of the old and weak women and children will die. It's more than half gone, that weak woman can't give this order. Just look down on her because she's running for her life? You don't have the qualifications!"

Jessica's eyes flashed with envy. "In the past two years, she has led her troops to fight dozens of vicious battles, except when the king secretly sold short the granary and almost wiped out his entire army. Which one was not a big victory? With all the power she can control, Lord Andy in your mouth is probably still licking Ayton's toe!"

Speaking of which, Jessica's icy face was actually full of jokes, but her eyes were full of coldness.

"Speaking of which, I would also like to thank those barbarians on the grassland. If they hadn't suddenly fought with the Grand Duke of the North, I guess we wouldn't dare to move. My father had to fight that fat pig every day. The same duke is vain and arrogant, and in order to stabilize him, he might have to marry me."

Jessica gritted her teeth, and her white hands held the hilt at her waist.

"When that guy was hacked to death by me, he still had a look of disbelief. He was bossy and then crying and begging for mercy, just like the idiot from the Anderson family yesterday. If it wasn't for someone from the Church of Knowledge, who came out and stole the duke. Everyone in the house, I must kill that disgusting family!"

Amelian opened his mouth but did not dare to speak. Miss Jessica has been arrogant since she was a child, and she is the most talented person in the Farrell family. It's a pity that her mother is only the maid of the Marquis, and she is a woman herself.

No matter how hard she tried, in the eyes of Lord Marquis, she was still inferior to her younger brother who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun, and even thought of marrying her to Duke Ayton. Miss Jessica was able to let that little girl go yesterday, she must have seen her own shadow in her.

"Huh..." Jessica closed her eyes and spit out the resentment in her chest, regaining her composure.

"I said this just to let you know that although she is being driven like a wild dog by us now, you must not underestimate this woman. I thought the same as you before, thinking that she must have no chance of making a comeback. After the kerosene in the palace warehouse, I changed my mind, this woman is the biggest destabilizing factor, and she must not be allowed to join Gilber alive!"

Jessica said with a cold face, "There are five roads leading to the south of the Dusk Mountains. This time, there are two hundred professionals among the five hundred knights I brought, and all of them were dispatched by me. Every fifty professionals guard one road, three. The first-order me and the second-order you keep the same path, we must let her die here!"
