Chapter 383: Leaking Secrets to the Orcs!

"Baron Mil? Are you preparing to..."

Solit's eyes instantly widened, his gaze filled with shock as he looked at this Weilade.

Even though he considered himself someone who would stop at nothing to climb upward.

Yet he could not reach the level of madness that Weilade had.

He indeed wanted to use Gervas as a token of loyalty, but regarding Mil and the others, he did not truly have murderous intent; now, he actually wanted to win them over.

But he never expected that this Weilade, in order to deal with Gervas, was actually preparing to use Mil, who had established merit twice, as bait.

This point alone was enough to show Weilade's ruthlessness, but... speaking of which, this plan was indeed very good.

Mil led the Southern Region army group to thwart the orcs' schemes twice.

Especially that ambush in the Emerald Valley; the orcs must have hated Mil to the bone. If our side could pass the message to the orcs.

The orcs would absolutely not be able to resist taking action.

But the problem is...

This is not merely designing a trap to frame a noble; it is treason and collusion with the enemy, even betrayal of the human race.

If discovered, not only would one be nailed to the pillar of historical shame, but it would also be a capital crime that no one could save them from.

Seeing Solit's worry, Weilade was not panicked in the slightest.

"Lord Solit, what do you think of my plan?"

"Of course, I also know your concern, Lord: is doing this betraying the kingdom?"

"I think the answer is obvious; we are doing this only for that boy!"

"For this, although several nobles are sacrificed, there is no other loss to the kingdom's overall situation!"

"Therefore, this plan is absolutely the one and only good plan!"

"I think once the orcs learn the news, they will definitely pay close attention; at that time, even if they only send a thousand orcs, they can directly deal with that Gervas!"

Solit fell into brief silence.

This plan was truly good.

Given that Mil had been reported twice, once the orcs learned of it, they would definitely not let him go.

At that time, if a thousand orcs truly came, then several nobles of the Southern Region, including Mil and Gervas, would absolutely have no chance of survival!

"Minister Weilade, your plan is indeed good, but how can you contact the orc tribe? I mean, how to deliver the message while ensuring it is absolutely foolproof?"

"You must know that along the way, there are rangers; if they encounter someone, even if they are not orcs, they certainly will not let such a suspicious person go!"

"Lord Solit, so this is the reason I seek your cooperation; I know that for the past two days, the north has been filled with rangers!"

"But to ensure safety, the rangers mostly operate during the day and all return within the checkpoints at night."

"Therefore, at that time, you only need to help as the Deputy Commander of the Vanguard Camp; find a way to open a gap at the checkpoint guarding the main road, and the person I send can smoothly proceed to the orc camp!" Weilade had obviously calculated everything in advance.

"But are your subordinates reliable? You must know that this matter absolutely cannot be leaked!" Solit was still not at ease.

Weilade smiled, because he knew that if this matter succeeded, "Lord Solit, rest assured; my subordinates are definitely reliable, because as long as he dies, the secret will be absolutely kept..."

It was night!

On the Northern Road, located about five li from Red Shicheng, the Western Region unit of the Vanguard Camp was stationed here.

Relying on the simple wooden fort they had built, they cut off the traffic between Red Shicheng and the north, eliminating the possibility of orcs sneaking into the Red Shicheng area, and also eliminating the possibility of spies carrying news to the orcs.

Beside the crackling bonfire, the two barons in charge of leading the team were dozing off.

However, the two still dared not truly slack off and fall asleep.

Because the orcs were only five li away; if the orcs suddenly crept up, they might lose their lives.

"Deputy Commander Solit!!"

Just then, the guards' greeting sounds came, and the two barons perked up.

They saw Solit arrive at the bonfire by the wall with several servants.

"Greetings, Deputy Commander Solit!"

The two barons immediately stood up and respectfully greeted him; the other party was not only the Deputy Commander of the Vanguard Camp but also from the Duke Lieshi family, so they definitely had to be cautious.

"Baron Nathan, Baron Jett, no need for courtesy; how is the situation tonight?" Solit smiled brightly, deliberately looking out towards the camp.

"Deputy Commander Solit, our main army has already arrived outside Red Shicheng; those orcs definitely dare not act rashly, so the situation is quite peaceful!"

"That is good; I, this Deputy Commander, very much hope that everyone in the Vanguard Camp will safely return to their territories!"

"Thank you for your concern, Deputy Commander Solit!" The two barons immediately bowed to express their gratitude.

Seeing that the groundwork was laid sufficiently, Solit waved behind him, and immediately several servants carried over a roasted elk, plus several pots of wine.

"Baron Nathan, Baron Jett, come, since the two of you are still on duty so late, let us reward you!"

"This..." Baron Nathan and Jett were both surprised and moved.

"You need not be polite; I went to the main camp today; this elk was bought with my own money. Actually, it is because I cannot finish it alone, and eating and drinking alone is not fun; the others are already asleep, so I came to find you! Just consider it accompanying me to eat and drink!"

Baron Nathan and Baron Jett had been guarding for half the night, and their stomachs were already hungry.

Smelling the aroma of the roasted elk, they naturally no longer declined.

Thus, the three sat directly on the ground by the camp wall and began to eat and drink.

And the surrounding guards on duty, seeing this, were each swallowing their saliva desperately.

"Come, give some to these soldiers as well; since we cannot finish it all, consider it my, Solit's, reward for their loyal service!"

The servants immediately bowed and responded, then cut off some pieces of meat, placed them on the wooden wall, and carried them to the several guards on duty.

"Thank you, Deputy Commander Solit, for your bounty..."

Immediately, the guards were moved to tears of gratitude and eagerly took the meat pieces to taste.

And seeing this, Baron Nathan and Baron Jett naturally had no objections.

It was just eating a few pieces of meat; it did not affect the guard duty.

However, what they did not know was that during the brief time these guards were eating and drinking, a figure lay prone on the ground in the grass opposite the dirt road, gradually crossing the checkpoint.

And this person was none other than Yal, the messenger sent by Minister Weilade.

Previously, he had gone to the Vanguard Camp for Minister Weilade to deliver a letter into Solit's hands.

Of course, compared to this mission, the previous task of merely delivering a letter to the Vanguard Camp was nothing at all.

"As long as I deliver the letter, I will get the remaining ten gold coins!" Having crossed the checkpoint, Yal's face, though his heart still pounded, was filled with excitement.

The reason he was willing to risk delivering the letter to those orcs who killed without blinking.

Was not only because of Minister Weilade's orders, which he had to obey.

Most importantly, it was because Minister Weilade had promised a reward of twenty gold coins.

Ten of those gold coins had already been placed in his hands, while the other ten would be paid after he returned having completed the task.

This was twenty gold coins, an amount he could not possibly earn in twenty years.

So, he decided to take a risk.

Because if the risk succeeded, not only would he obtain this enormous sum, but he would subsequently receive a better position promised by the Cabinet official.
