Chapter 383 Sir Jumonville

It turned out that Joan was a false alarm.

The ring did not set any dangerous traps, and the upper cover on the ring was unscrewed, revealing a finely carved pattern.

The outline of the pattern looks like a small shield, with a rose flower engraved on the shield, and red ink pad remains between the exquisitely carved textures.

Joan saw that this was a "seal ring" that was often used to stamp documents, and the exquisite emblem on the ring was clearly a noble coat of arms.

It's a pity that he doesn't know much about heraldry, and he can't remember which nobleman's coat of arms is the combination of "shield" and "rose", but there is one thing for sure—the man wearing this ring must be a nobleman master.

However, he has become a cold corpse, unable to answer Joan's doubts.

Joan took off the seal ring remotely from the "Mage's Hand" and put it in his pocket. Now there is only one last clue left, which is the letter in his hand.

He hesitated for a while, but he couldn't hold back his curiosity after all. He carefully tore open the envelope, took out a page of letter paper, and glanced through it quickly, his face turning ugly.

The contents of the letter confirmed his premonition.

This is a letter from Count Alfonso Antonioni, Governor of Muspelheim, to Sir John Norfolk, Governor of Alfheim.

In his letter, Count Antonioni made it clear that he accepted Lord Norfolk's proposal to resolve the historical issue of border demarcation through peaceful consultations rather than military confrontation.

The two governors also reached a consensus in the letter that it is necessary to hold a formal demarcation negotiation in order to completely end the border dispute around the Brass Pass.

In order to express his sincerity, Count Antonioni specially formed an envoy to send his reply to Lord Norfolk in Leiden Port, and to discuss the preparations for the demarcation negotiations.

This mission is composed of 12 diplomats and the sea blue cavalry who escorted them.

The chief representative of the mission is the corpse lying next to Joan at the moment—Sir Joseph Jumonville, a hereditary nobleman of the Seablue Kingdom, and also an official in charge of foreign affairs sent by the Seablue Government to the Muspelheim colony.

The thin letter paper in his hand seemed to weigh a thousand catties, making Qiao An breathless, making him realize that he and his comrades had just made a serious mistake, which might even cause irreversible consequences.

Joan didn't dare to make up her own mind, and quickly took the letter and the seal ring to find Magny Powhatan.

"Brother Magny, I'm afraid we've gotten into a catastrophe..."

"What's the matter, Joan, your face is ugly."

Joan didn't make a sound, and passed the letter directly.

Magni looked at it hastily, touched his chin and said angrily: "No wonder the group of Hailan people were beaten just now. They were just messengers. It seems that our victory is not very honorable."

"Brother Magni, the key is that the leader of the other party is a diplomat who was born in an aquamarine aristocrat. He shouldered a mission of peace, and now he is dying here... I'm afraid we can't explain it." Joan's face was gloomy.

The accidental death of Sir Joseph Jumonville is likely to intensify the border dispute between Yalfheim and Muspelheim, which was already full of gunpowder, and make the efforts of the two governors for peace negotiations come to naught. It was too serious, Joan didn't dare to think about it.

Magni, a rough man from an indigenous tribe, didn't seem to realize the seriousness of the problem. Hearing Joan's concerns, he laughed nonchalantly, put his arm around his shoulder and comforted him:

"What's there to worry about? The other party broke into our territory wearing a sea blue military uniform without giving an explanation before starting the battle. He deserves his death. We don't need to be responsible for it at all!"

Joan smiled wryly and was speechless.

Sir Jumonville and the others tried to explain, but unfortunately they killed them too quickly, and killed all the Hailan people before they could explain their purpose.

"Okay, Qiao An, don't be so sad, this matter is just a misunderstanding in the end, even if someone is responsible for it, I will be responsible for it, and I will not implicate you."

Magni's comfort could not make Joan feel relieved.

In fact, he suspected that Magny and even Lieutenant Colonel Vassar could not afford to kill Sir Jumonville by mistake.

The other party is not only a diplomat representing the governor of the Muspelheim colony, but also a sea blue nobleman himself. His family power and even the sea blue royal family may not let it go.

After all, Joan is just a small person. This matter involves a dispute between two great powers. It is useless for him to think too much. He followed Magny back to the camp with a lot of thoughts, and took the letter and Sir Jumonville's seal ring together. And handed it to George Vassar, and told what he knew.

Of course, George Vassar's political acumen is far from that of a reckless man like Magny. After hearing Joan's words, he immediately realized that he had caused a catastrophe. He hurriedly opened the letter and read it, frowning, and fell into deep thought.

Seeing Vasa's face so ugly, Magny was really a little scared at the moment. He touched the back of his head and asked guiltyly, "George, is the problem really serious?"

George Vassar took a deep breath and answered as calmly as possible:

"Sir Joseph Jumonville came to the Muspelheim colony from Seablue to take up a post in the fall of last year. He was engaged in trade and diplomatic coordination."

"Frankly speaking, I don't know much about him, but he has a younger brother who is more famous. You must have heard of this person's name, Louis Jumonville."

"Louis Jumonville... is the new garrison commander of the Muspelheim colony?" Magny finally changed his face.

"That's right, it's that General Jumonville!"

A wry smile appeared on the corner of George Vassar's lips.

"This person is a representative of the young men of the Navy Blue Army. After taking over the defense of the colony, he showed an aggressive and aggressive style. He took the initiative to provoke border frictions many times, intending to bring the disputed area around the Brass Pass into his control."

"How can an ambitious figure like General Jumonville bear this breath if he finds out that his elder brother was killed by our army?"

"Since General Louis Jumonville took over as the commander of the Muspelheim garrison, he first established a military stronghold named Fort Duquesne in the disputed border area, and then encouraged the jackal bandits to go northward to plunder through the Brass Pass. border conflict."

Major Green also frowned deeply, expressing concerns similar to those of Lieutenant Colonel Vassar.

"Louis Jumonville is worrying that he has no excuse to launch a war, but we just killed his elder brother at this juncture. With his domineering style, we will definitely make use of the problem and set off a bloody storm..."

"The person has been killed, no matter how much you regret it, it can't be undone. The impact of this matter is too great, and we have no ability to decide on the follow-up development. The most urgent task is to report this change to the governor and ask him to make a decision." Lieutenant Colonel Vasa Turning around and looking at Joan, "The military situation is urgent, you can use the 'SMS' scroll to report."
