"That's right, Sir Billy, although you came here to report the information this time, after all, it involves my cavalry family and the eldest prince. If we want us to truly believe you, you must do this map swap!"
"You don't have to worry about it. I will send someone to attract the herald's attention during the exchange. You can just make the exchange while he is not paying attention."
"When the time comes, we will ensure that the matter is not leaked and nothing happens to you."
"More importantly, after this matter is completed, you and our cavalry family will be considered true collaborators, and you will be a collaborator with the eldest prince."
Lakoff followed the temptation and spoke.
Billy was in an extremely tangled state. His original intention was to get rid of Nalant, his competitor. In his heart, he still hoped to become a baron of the Tulip family one day, and then marry Stella and reach the peak of his life.
But if he did what Lakov did, then he would have something in Lakov's hands from now on.
However, it is obvious that if he wants to truly gain the trust of the Iron Cavalry family, he must participate in it. This is the certificate of submission.
"Sir Billy, the eldest prince is the heir to the throne of the duchy. When the eldest prince succeeds to the throne of the king, as a collaborator, can you imagine the benefits this will bring to you?" At this moment, Lakoff spoke again. Billy a critical hit.
Hearing the words "heir to the throne", Billy's heart jumped twice, and then he suddenly woke up.
Yes, if you can really build a relationship with the eldest prince through this matter, then there will definitely be countless benefits in the future.
Even if this relationship is only a little bit involved, it is probably the best opportunity for him to achieve success in his life.
"Okay, Count Rackoff, I'm willing to change it, but I don't know how to do it?" Billy made up his mind.
"Haha, Billy, you will be glad for this decision in the future!" Lakoff heard this with a smile on his face.
What to do with Nalant? This is all his words.
Dealing with Nalant was just incidental. What he really wanted to gain was the benefit of replacing the Tulip family.
As for what happened afterwards, he had already thought of a countermeasure.
At that time, he could treat it as unknowing and first push it to the herald who distributed the map. Did they get the wrong map when they came, which led to such a mistake?
Even if it turns out that it was not the herald's fault, there is no need to rush, as long as his son hands over the little Tulip vassal.
Let's just say that this little vassal of Tulip wanted to deal with Nalant and took the initiative to contact the cavalry family, but was rejected by his cavalry family.
And he probably took it upon himself to show his determination, so he made this stupid move, which had nothing to do with the Iron Cavalry family.
When the time comes, the Iron Cavalry family will definitely be able to capture them all.
Although this will definitely not convince Bernard, so what, the two sides are in a tit-for-tat state, and Lakoff doesn't mind deepening some hatred, as long as the benefits are obtained.
"Billy, you wait here, I will ask Tony to go to the king's camp to find His Highness the Prince. Once we get accurate information, we will discuss the next details..."
…
Narant didn't know yet that he was being remembered again.
Returning to the camp, he informed his subordinates of the upcoming changes to his itinerary, then entered the house and began to practice.
In the past two days, he had a vague feeling that his breakthrough was just around the corner.
As for the preparations for the team, although the destination has been changed, they are still marching, so there is nothing to prepare.
Time flew by and came to the early morning of the second day.
After washing up early under Lilia's service, Nalant put on his armor and began to enjoy breakfast, and then waited for the king's messenger to arrive.
At the same time, six heralds rode out of the king's camp on horseback. Under their saddles were a parchment scroll placed in a bamboo tube, which contained several maps copied last night.
And when these heralds slowly walked out of the camp, Tony, not far away, was taking Billy to identify them.
"Did you see that the man riding the yellow horse is the herald who went to Tulip Camp to present the map? I will send someone to intercept him later, and then you just need to take the opportunity to exchange for the map in his bamboo tube."
"Okay, Master Tony!" Billy took a deep breath and nodded.
"Well, let's get started!" Tony smiled, and then the two of them mounted their horses and split up.
Tony quickly rode his war horse towards one of the heralds. That was the herald who was responsible for delivering the map to the cavalry family.
Tony approached the herald on his horse and greeted him familiarly.
The herald naturally knew the earl heir who hung out with the eldest prince all day long. He immediately responded enthusiastically and happily handed over the map.
Anyway, it is for the Tieqi family, so there is no problem in giving it to the heir.
Tony took the map, thanked him and left quickly, then handed the map directly to his subordinates to send to Billy.
Billy quickly received the map, and then followed the herald in front who was responsible for presenting the map to the Tulip family.
Just when the herald was still more than a mile away from the Tulip Camp, several exclamations suddenly came from the side.
I saw a knight at the front with a frightened face and shouting all the way.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way quickly, the horse is frightened, be careful of the danger!"
While shouting, the knight rushed straight towards the herald.
The incident was too sudden and too close. Although the herald immediately pulled his horse and tried to escape quickly, he was still half a beat too slow.
Roar!
Then the two horses collided, and the herald was knocked off the horse from the side.
The knights who caused the accident immediately dismounted and gathered around the herald, then began to apologize and help check the injuries.
"Sir Billy, you have to be fast, otherwise this plan will not be completed!" The cavalryman responsible for passing the map urged in a low voice.
"Okay!" Billy gritted his teeth and quickly approached the yellow horse that had just stood up.
Immediately, Billy easily replaced the sheepskin scroll in the bamboo tube on the yellow horse.
During this period, the fallen herald had been surrounded by people asking him about his welfare, and they did not notice Billy at all.
After Billy completed the exchange, several knights pulled up the herald and gave two silver coins to the herald to express their apology.
The grass here was soft, and the herald's skin was not even scratched. Seeing that the other party's apology was sincere and not intentional, he happily accepted the two silver coins, then mounted his horse and continued to the tulip camp.
After the knights who caused the accident paid them, they used the excuse of continuing to chase the frightened horses and ran away without even revealing their identities.
…
"My lord, the Earl's guards brought a herald, saying he was sent by His Majesty the King!"
"Well, this is for the map!" Nalant nodded, "Quick, now go and notify Miss Stella, Boris and Baron Rael so that they can prepare to set off."
"Yes, sir!"
Nalant walked towards the outside of the camp and gave instructions to Quick and others.
When he arrived outside the camp, Nalant easily obtained the map. After confirming that the fire paint on it was correct, he took it into his arms.
After Stella and others also gathered together, Nalant took a few people to look at the map together and prepared to set off.
