In front of the fire, and then the candlelight, Rostislav looked at a few lines of words on the birch bark in front of him. These words were about everything Rostislav found in this city.
This table was where Rostislav dealt with things and wrote novels, but now that both were put aside, Rostislav had to concentrate on thinking about everything during the day, and thoughts about those things occupied his brain all the time.
Outside Rostislav's tent, the sound of soldiers moving about and armor kept ringing, as well as the sound of moving fortifications and supplies. This scene was not only staged in the Ross camp, but also various military units around the city.
Performed.
Now that everyone is aware of the existence of the pagan rebels, vigilance has also followed. These mobilized troops have become its embodiment. However, looking at these, Rostislav, who was originally very happy, became more and more dull towards them.
, because he has something bad to worry about now.
"Many heretics, grease, treacherous illegitimate children... Damn, this really doesn't look like a good combination, but those guys still don't pay attention to it. Do we have to pay attention to it if those heretics cause something big? A bunch of short-sighted guys.
"
As Rostislav said, these combinations look really bad. The combination of these things is like a prelude to some large-scale political chaos.
The most terrible thing is that he is still in such a vortex and may be sucked in at any time, but his companions don't take it seriously, as if it is not a big deal at all.
But Rostislav knows that it is normal for them not to take it seriously. The most important thing now is that I am openly and secretly attacking the enemy. Although the traitor Zergi was accidentally caught, this is only a possibility to confirm the existence of a conspiracy. To confirm
It's really hard to figure out what this group of people want to do.
Rostislav could not produce any evidence of large-scale pagan rebellion, which led to the current predicament.
The Prince of Moscow rubbed his eyes, a feeling of exhaustion welling up in his heart. He played with the pagan emblem that the old man from the tribe had given him before, played with it for a while and then put it down. He always felt that it represented a big conspiracy.
Then Rostislav lay down on the chair and put a hot towel on his face to relieve fatigue. No matter what the conspiracy was, he had to rest for a while.
And as the towel was put on, the day's experience immediately appeared in front of him, even if he didn't think about it, and then the scenes passed before his eyes, just like a movie in his previous life.
After Rostislav and Edward spent a long time in the camp disarming and searching for traitors, and finally finished all of this, another day of meaningless quarrels in the palace came to an end.
It was also because of this that Rostislav was able to meet his elders, and then he told them everything he knew, including the gathering of pagans, the collection of grease, and Zergi's betrayal.
In fact, generally speaking, everyone took this news seriously. They all increased the combat readiness level of the army and conveyed the news to King Bella.
King Bela had some unpleasantness with the Russians recently due to disputes at the meeting, but in the face of the possibility of arson by the pagans and the evidence given, he still ordered the dispatch of additional guards.
But he was completely dismissive of Zheerji's betrayal. He was just an illegitimate child. With the blood of Arpad, he could still enjoy the education of the royal family and obtain the qualifications of the elite, but that was all.
No one would support an illegitimate child, and no noble would support this despicable guy.
The only possibility for the illegitimate child to gain support is that Arpad's direct bloodline is severed, but now Arpad's bloodline tree is flourishing.
Moreover, this strict and arrogant King never recognized the virtues of his nephew. He regarded Zhergi as "the evil offspring of his brother's desire" and "full of illegitimate evil". His attitude towards this person was like garbage.
Generally speaking, let alone take it seriously.
Rostislav originally thought that emphasizing the relationship between Zyrgey's identity and the possible conspiracy could convince the king, but the result was exactly the opposite of what he hoped.
Moreover, the king was extremely contemptuous of the pagans. He participated in the suppression of the pagans decades ago and killed the pagans to death. This made him firmly believe that the pagans would not cause large-scale rebellion because they
Don't have the courage.
Since the master thinks this way, then everyone else basically thinks the same way.
The aunt took it very seriously. He believed that this despicable illegitimate son would threaten the inheritance rights of his two children, and he was sure that this guy definitely wanted to kill her children.
The most terrible thing is that he also knows where her other child is - in order to prevent being wiped out, Anastasia left the younger child in the empire.
Due to Anastasia's concerns, Edward had no choice but to send a group of knights back to the empire to protect King Andrew's son.
Edward really didn't want to do this. They were originally weak and the Russian Moscow battalion had left, but now they still had to send elite knights to leave.
It's a pity that the truth is like this, but he couldn't persuade the mother who was worried about her child, so Edward finally had no choice but to send the knight out.
Everyone agreed to strengthen their vigilance, but that was the end of it. They recognized the pagans' arson and arson, but they dismissed the possible large-scale pagan riots mentioned by Rostislav.
The heretics were suppressed only a few decades ago. They had been causing trouble for decades, and the result was that they were killed until their heads were rolling, and the leaders immediately surrendered. How could they cause trouble? At most, some lone wolves set fire to it.
The most important thing is that Rostislav can't produce any evidence to prove this. He thinks that the existence of large-scale rebellion is just his subconscious speculation, and he can't produce any evidence at all.
This was true even for his relatives, let alone others. In the end, everyone was on heightened alert, but the large-scale investigation Rostislav requested was impossible. They believed that the pagans could only set fires at most, and even arson was not possible.
It won't burn much space.
Therefore, Rostislav, who was hit by all parties, was in a bad mood, but he also knew that this was his own problem. After all, he could not produce any evidence, so how could he be convincing.
This makes the current situation faced by Rostislav also become more troublesome. Apart from conducting an inventory throughout the city, Rostislav really can't think of any other tricks. He finally found the clues about Zergi, the traitor, but ended up losing them again.
So Rostislav locked himself in the tent and kept thinking about it. His intuition told him that there must be a big conspiracy behind this.
After combining those elements, Rostislav's mind was filled with big things and big things, but others didn't believe it.
There was no other way. After thinking for a while to no avail, Rostislav took off the hot towel and threw it on the table.
I can't think of it anyway, so don't think about it at all, go to bed early and rest early, and go to the city tomorrow to see if I can find any information.
————————
"The enemy has stepped up their vigilance, Zergi. This is all your responsibility."
"Yes, this was my mistake. I shouldn't have wanted to deal with Rostislav in such a hurry. I didn't do a good job in investigation. I'm willing to accept any punishment."
"Forget it, the calculation will start soon. You are very lucky. Now we need everyone to get back to their positions. But have you done all the finishing work? There won't be any tail left."
"Take away all those who should be taken away. The only ones taken away are those who don't understand anything. The enemy cannot know anything."
In a house in Fekhshvar, several civilians dressed in ordinary clothes are gathering here, and one of them is Andrew's illegitimate son Zergi, who is currently being questioned.
"Things happen when they happen. Fortunately, it doesn't matter if they increase their vigilance. It won't have much impact on our plans."
The voice asking Zheerji sounded again, and the voice was a little hoarse.
"In short, everything is still going according to the original plan, but now everyone must be more careful. This kind of thing will never happen again. The purchase of supplies must be concealed, and the gatherings must be reduced. Just hide in these few days, our plan is about to be over.
Beginning, then everything will be washed away, everyone will get what they want, and those idiots who worshiped the cross will be punished."
"yes!"
Everyone answered in unison, with a lot of enthusiasm in their voices.
