Chapter 1048: Starting Again (Part 2)

"After learning that Allen and Yenihe had launched a mutiny, in order to stabilize people's hearts, the central government officials elected His Highness Gale as the regent of our country." Jacob said in a deep voice, "Now the central government is led by His Highness Gale, who has been appointed as the regent."

"Regent?!"*2

Ilsa and Enli exclaimed in unison.

While the two were exclaiming, Jacob continued:

"Alan is currently leading the rebels westward, and the front line is heading straight for our capital, Pendragon."

Hearing this, Ilsa and Enli's faces changed at the same time.

"Alan actually intends to attack Pendragon directly..." Enli said in a deep voice.

"That's right." Jacob nodded, and then continued, "According to the latest intelligence I have received, the central government is still arguing over the issue of 'Should Pendragon be defended or abandoned'."

"What is there to discuss about this issue?" Enli said anxiously, "The capital is the foundation of the country! How can we just give it up!"

"I think so too." Jacob turned his head and looked at Enli, echoing, "No matter how slim the chances of winning are, we can't just give up Pendragon without even a resistance."

After saying that, Jacob turned his head back and cast his gaze back on Ilsa.

"Your Majesty." At this time, Jacob's face was full of seriousness. "Our current priority is to rush back to Pendragon as soon as possible to take charge of the overall situation." "Whether the central government is led by the regent or the emperor - these two differences have completely different effects on people's hearts." "As long as you can return to Pendragon safely and let the ministers and citizens of DìDū know that you are still alive, it will greatly inspire people's hearts." "How serious the current situation in our country is - I believe that this subordinate does not need to elaborate on this issue." "At this critical juncture, the central government Your Majesty's presence is indispensable!"

"...Yes." Ilsa, who also looked serious, nodded, "I understand."

...

...

"Mr. Falk."

Jacob looked Falk up and down for a few times, and then sighed:

"I really didn't expect that we could meet in such a place."

"Yes." Falk nodded and smiled bitterly, "Not only did I not expect that I would meet you here, but I also did not expect that an ordinary businessman like me would have the opportunity to take on such an important task as "sending His Majesty back to DìDū."

Jacob and Falk knew each other.

Two years ago, when Su Cheng re-organized the wedding with Carol and Elisa in Pendragon, he not only invited Jacob, but also Falk.

It was at Su Cheng's wedding two years ago that Jacob met Falk, who "adopted" Su Cheng that year.

Jacob never expected that this seemingly ordinary businessman would accomplish a feat again.

The last feat he accomplished was to adopt the future genius general Su Cheng.

And the feat he accomplished now was to resolutely take on the arduous task of sending Emperor Ilsa back to Pendragon when she was in the most critical moment.

After greeting Falk for a few words, Jacob bowed to Falk:

"Mr. Falk, thank you very much."

After Jacob's voice fell, the Lord of Tamu City, Barnett and Enli, who were standing behind Jacob, also bowed to Falk and thanked Falk.

And Falk hurriedly said:

"Mr. Jacob, there is no need to do this. I just did what I should do as a citizen of the Britannia Empire."

"Not every citizen has the courage and spirit like you."

After saying this in a half-joking tone, Jacob regained his serious look.

"Mr. Falk, the rebels are approaching Pendragon step by step."

"The most important task at present is to send His Majesty back to the center as quickly as possible. Let His Majesty return to the center to take charge."

"So-we plan to buy your carriage that is specially used to transport jewelry. We will buy the carriage and the jewelry on the carriage."

Since I have reunited with Jacob and decided to rush back to Pendragon as quickly as possible, I naturally can't go with Falk and his team.

Falk and his team's horses are pack horses that can only be used for walking and can't run fast at all.

Falk's caravan has 2 carriages.

One carriage is specially used to carry luggage, and the other carriage is specially used to carry the jewelry bought on this trip.

Jacob plans to buy the carriage specially used to carry jewelry so that Ilsa can sit in this carriage to travel.

And Jacob, Enli and others led the cavalry team of Tamu City to escort them.

The horses used by the cavalry of Tamu City were all war horses, and their speed was naturally not comparable to the pack horses used by Falk and his team.

In this way, the speed of travel could be greatly increased.

Facing Jacob's request, Falk agreed very readily.

After some negotiations, the final agreed amount was 15 million British francs.

In other words, the central government of the Britannia Empire represented by Jacob invested 15 million British francs to buy this carriage and all the jewels shipped on this carriage.

In fact, this price is already quite generous. The cost price of this carriage plus this cart of jewels is about 11 million. Falk sold this carriage and this cart of jewels to Jacob and his team at a price close to the cost price.

Because Jacob and his team did not have cash to pay, he and Falk promised that when Falk and his team returned to DìDū, they would give him the money for buying the carriage and the bonus that Enli and Falk had agreed to give him after he successfully sent Ilsa back to DìDū.

Falk still believed in Jacob's promise.

After all, this money was just a small amount of money for the central government of the Britannia Empire.

Jacob and his team could not default on the debt for such a small amount of money.

After buying Falk's carriage, Jacob and his team immediately started to throw away all the jewelry on the carriage.

This is why Jacob and his team bought all the jewelry on the carriage at the same time as buying the carriage.

In order to reduce the burden on the horses and speed up the carriage, it is necessary to discard all the useless things on the carriage.

After throwing away all the jewels on the carriage and reducing the weight of the carriage to the minimum, Ilsa and her companions can finally start their journey.

…

…

"Mr. Falk."

Standing beside the carriage that had been completely emptied, Ilsa saluted Falk in front of her.

"Thank you very much for your care these days."

"Your Majesty, please don't say that." After Ilsa's voice fell, Falk hurriedly knelt on one knee.

"Your Majesty, I wish you a safe journey and a safe arrival at Pendragon."

Falk paused at this point.

"Your Majesty."

Falk changed his tone to a sincere one.

"Please be sure to defeat the enemy this time and protect the Britannia Empire."
