Chapter 603 Gabela's Change 1
"Your Majesty, I'm going!"
Macdonald bids farewell to his master, Bartley Griffin.
Emperor Battery patted the old marshal on the shoulder and said with great relief: "The northern territory of the empire depends entirely on you, Macdonald!"
MacDonald nodded.
They were currently located on the northern outskirts of the Imperial Capital of Gabela. On the main road, a total of 30,000 soldiers had already lined up. Among them were infantry, cavalry, archers, and various auxiliary military personnel.
The soldiers formed long lines, connected end to end, occupying the entire road leading from the imperial capital to the north.
At the rear of this team, there were also a large number of cattle, horses and vehicles, loaded with supplies such as food, ordnance and so on.
In addition to Emperor Battery, those who came to see off the old marshal and his team included various ministers and important members of the royal family, including the Prime Minister Duke Dias, the eldest prince Felix, the second prince Antonio, and Aldrich from the Bachelor's Tower. The bachelor and the bachelor Alvi were both in the send-off procession.
After MacDonald spoke to the emperor for a while, he bowed respectfully to him and mounted his horse.
After sitting down immediately, he looked at the two princes. Felix had a sneer on his lips, while Antonio had a serious look on his face.
Felix must be very happy now. Antonio's biggest supporter in his heart is gone, how can he not be happy?
"Set off!"
Macdonald waved his riding crop and ordered the troops to march.
Following his order, the originally quiet army quickly began to move, swimming towards the north like a long snake.
"My dear brother."
Felix said looking at Antonio.
"You also have to be prepared. Maybe our father will send you to the front line one day."
Antonio did not look at him, but replied: "Of course, I am always ready to share my father's worries."
"Oh? That's good."
Emperor Battery waved his hand: "Let's go back. MacDonald will definitely come back with a car full of orc heads to give to us as gifts."
He led the royal family and ministers back to the imperial capital.

As soon as Felix returned to the city, he went to consult with his grandfather, Duke Diaz.
"The great opportunity has come, the great opportunity has come, dear grandpa."
He walked around the floor of the house excitedly, "Now Antonio is like a tiger that has lost its teeth and claws, and can be slaughtered by us."
"Be patient!" Duke Dias looked at Felix's current appearance and shouted sternly.
"McDonald is not far away yet. We have to wait until he is far away before we can take action."
"Damn it, when exactly?" Felix was impatient.
"We have to wait at least seven days." Duke Dias returned to his usual expression, looking a little calm and relaxed.
"In these seven days, we must gather all our strength and clench it into a fist so that we can be more powerful."
"But what if something unexpected happens..." Felix still wanted to argue,
"Your Highness!"
Ms. Coleridge, who came with Felix, gave a warning.
"We should trust the Duke's judgment."
"Okay, I'll wait!" Felix gritted his teeth.
Duke Dias glanced at Ms. Coleridge with some surprise. She was a beautiful lady with silver hair. Every man would have wild fantasies when he looked at her.
But the Duke knew that this was a beautiful flower with a deadly stinger. Coleridge was a female killer recruited by the Dias family. She had incredible abilities and was a rare sharp blade.
After passing the loyalty test, Coleridge was sent by Duke Dias to live with his grandson and became a court lady. Firstly, she was to protect Felix, and secondly, she also played a surveillance role.
But today the Duke discovered that his always somewhat impatient grandson Felix was persuaded by this woman with just one word.
The attitude of Felix towards Coleridge that he saw on weekdays slowly emerged in the Duke's mind.
He suddenly had a suspicion - Felix might have fallen in love with this female killer.
This is a dangerous signal, the Duke thought in his mind, "The throne of the future Queen of the Gabela Empire cannot be left to a female assassin. The Queen should have a nobler bloodline to help the Emperor stabilize the rule of the Empire."
But the way Felix looked at her—Duke Diaz observed more and more carefully, and felt more and more that his guess was correct—was clearly invested with a lot of emotion.
It seems that he has to find time to persuade his grandson. How can the ruler of a country let a woman fill his heart?
Don't be like his father who actually fell in love with an evil witch.
——
After coming out of Duke Dias's mansion, Felix took advantage of the carriage to return to his residence.
Lady Coleridge rode with him in the carriage.
There is no mistake. One post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!
Felix was still excited at this moment. In his mind, he pictured himself wearing a crown and accepting congratulations from everyone. He also pictured himself being surrounded by a group of soldiers and finally being outnumbered and killed.
Your fate will be decided within this month.
If he wins, he will be the supreme Emperor Gabera. If he fails, he will lose everything, even his life.
Excited and nervous, he couldn't help but reach out his hand and wanted to hold the white jade wrist of the lady opposite, but Ms. Coleridge gracefully avoided it.
"Your Highness, it's not the right time now."
"Haha, sorry, Coleridge."
Felix's face was full of smiles. He had been deeply fascinated by this beautiful lady a long time ago.
"I swear, Coleridge, when I wear the crown, I will definitely make you the queen of the empire, so that you and I can share my power and glory."
Because he was about to start a rebellion, he said what he had buried in his heart for a long time.
Ms. Coleridge laughed sweetly, which made Felix intoxicated.
The lady whispered: "Your Highness really likes to joke. When you really ascend the throne, I just hope to be able to accompany you every day like now, and I will be very satisfied."
"Oh! Coleridge, your character is as noble as the moon in the sky."
Felix praised, "I am more and more determined in my inner thoughts. Yes, only you deserve that position."
Coleridge just smiled lightly.
"Your Highness, you should focus on doing the current work well. Only when you succeed can you plan for the future."
"Ah, Coleridge, what you say always makes sense."
Prince Felix said sincerely.
I've been having some problems recently...
