Chapter 1302: Chapter 1302: At All Costs
The North Sea flagship, on the bow deck.
Julius Reed hung up the phone, gazing into the distance.
Grace River.
Grace River has connections with the royal bloodline.
And she ordered Kyler Reed to infiltrate The North Sea.
It seems Isabella Warm did not deceive him.
Those words, indeed, were true.
But why would Grace River betray him?
Could it be, Grace River is part of the royal bloodline?
Remembering what Elwood Thorneycroft had said at the Heavenly Palace, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.
Four maidservants, none of them simple.
Eliezer Pine at Demarco Mount, accused by Cold Nelson of seizing power, attempting to control the Wolf Cavalry.
Isabella Warm is the Bead Pulse Vein Holder of Pendleton, lurking by his side for a century.
And there is a high probability that his amnesia is related to Isabella Warm.
Now Grace River is also involved with the royal bloodline and ordered Kyler Reed to infiltrate The North Sea, indirectly causing that national war.
Only Lillian Tompson left, picking her feet in Gonzalez City.
Julius Reed does not believe Lillian Tompson is without issues.
Four sisters plotting against each other, three of them have identities.
Can Lillian Tompson remain innocent?
Now, the only thing Julius Reed prays for is that Quella Radcliffe has no issues.
Hoping his partner is pure and clean.
Buzz!
At this moment.
Communication devices by Julius Reed suddenly started ringing.
"Your Majesty."
After the call connected, he stood on the deck.
"Princess Baylor is in trouble!" Everton Davenport asked anxiously, "Do you have any news of her?"
"Princess?"
Julius Reed was surprised, saying: "That can’t be right? Deep Cold has already been scared by me to shrink back at the southern border defensive line, not daring to come out, and the princess has heavy guards, what could go wrong?"
"I just called Baylor, and no one answered!" Everton Davenport said anxiously, "Town North King’s phone is also unreachable! Logically, this shouldn’t happen!"
"Exactly! It shouldn’t!" Julius Reed frowned tightly: "Town North King is immensely skilled, and Princess Baylor Davenport is exceptionally alert. Moreover, they are surrounded by numerous guards, what could happen?"
"That’s the strange part!" Everton Davenport seemed like an ant on a hot pan, restless.
"Son-in-law, isn’t the princess by your side?"
He asked again.
"You know, the Princess has always rejected me. After arriving at Dragon Bay, she took Town North King, along with many guards, to the mainland to encamp. I was worried about her rejection, so I didn’t follow." Julius Reed asked as if concerned: "Didn’t she tell you her location?"
"She did! It’s less than three kilometers from you!" Everton Davenport quickly asked: "Did you see any distress flares?"
"No! It’s very quiet here, I can’t hear a sound."
Julius Reed shook his head.
"Strange!"
As Everton Davenport was worrying, suddenly someone shouted: "Your Majesty, Town North King has fallen into Deep Cold’s hands, they request to negotiate with us!"
Crack!
The moment this sentence came out, Everton Davenport’s communication device fell to the ground.
It was hastily picked up afterward.
"Say that again!"
Everton Davenport shouted harshly.
"Half a minute ago, Deep Cold sent a message, asking us to withdraw the troops, otherwise Town North King’s life is in danger!"
The voice came again.
"How could this be, what about the princess!"
Everton Davenport asked anxiously.
"No mention of the princess!"
The court official answered.
"Son-in-law, Town North King is captured by Deep Cold, and the princess’s life and death are unknown!" Everton Davenport gritted his teeth: "I have only one daughter, no matter what method you use, at all costs, you must rescue Baylor!"
"At all costs?" Julius Reed asked again.
"At all costs! I want to see Baylor safe!" Everton Davenport shouted loudly: "I will handle the negotiations with Deep Cold, you quickly go and rescue her!"
"Done! I and the princess have nevertheless been wed, a day as a couple means a hundred days of grace, I will definitely rescue her with all my might!"
Julius Reed hung up the phone, slowly walking down from the ship.
At all costs?
Some people might become the cost.
...
Deep Cold’s southern border defensive line.
Town North King was bound hand and foot, kneeling in front of Stephen.
"Speak! Where is the princess?"
Stephen sat on the chair, glaring at the Town North King.
He had gone out and lost many brothers, only for the princess to escape.
When they were collecting corpses, they happened to see the Town North King lying on the ground, so they captured him as a bargaining chip.
"I don’t know anything!"
The Town North King gasped heavily, his body going limp.
The high voltage electric shock was indeed harmful to the body.
"Don’t know?" Stephen sneered coldly, stood up, and lashed out fiercely with his whip!
Crack!
The long whip, made of refined steel, struck the Town North King’s body, immediately splitting skin and flesh!
"Hiss..."
The Town North King gasped sharply, veins bulging on his forehead, "I really don’t know..."
"Still not telling the truth?" Stephen sneered again and raised his steel whip.
Crack!
With this whip, the Town North King’s lower leg was directly broken.
The sound of bone fracturing made all the members of Deep Cold present feel the pain.
"What did Everton Davenport say?" Stephen turned around, looking at the person in charge of negotiating with The North Sea.
"Everton Davenport said that as long as we release the person, everything is negotiable!"
A member of Deep Cold responded.
"Heh, the princess escaped, but having the Town North King in our hands is still a bargaining chip!" Stephen eyed the tightly clenching Town North King, took a deep breath and said, "Hang him on the city wall, once The North Sea dares to attack, shoot him dead with a barrage of arrows!"
"Understood!"
Deep Cold members quickly hanged the Town North King on the city wall.
The scorching sun blazed down.
Blood dripped from wounds.
The Town North King felt dizzy.
Blurry-eyed, he saw a man approaching from a distance.
The figure seemed somewhat familiar.
"The North Sea’s son-in-law is here!"
On the southern defense line, a member of Deep Cold shouted, "The North Sea’s son-in-law is here, everyone, attention!"
"Binoculars!"
Stephen quickly grabbed the binoculars and observed the approaching figure.
Indeed, it was The North Sea’s son-in-law!
"Does he have reinforcements?"
Stephen looked behind him and saw no accompanying North Sea soldiers.
"Report! News from Dragon Bay." A Deep Cold subordinate ran to Stephen, gasping, "The North Sea’s son-in-law has come alone, without any attendant."
"He has such audacity, to disregard us like this!" Stephen was somewhat annoyed.
"Perhaps, he’s here to negotiate?" someone else spoke up, "The Town North King is in our hands, we just spoke with The North Sea on the phone, and the son-in-law has personally come over, I think it’s more likely a negotiation."
"That makes sense."
Stephen nodded, agreeing with the point.
"Hmph! To come and go as he pleases? He’s taking us too lightly." he said coldly, "Prepare to give him a tough welcome!"
"Understood!"
As soon as his words fell, all of Deep Cold’s hidden weapon users stood on the city wall, aiming.
The figure approached, unarmed.
"Tell him to stop!"
Stephen issued the command.
He squinted, evaluating The North Sea’s son-in-law.
"Person ahead, stop your steps!" a Deep Cold member shouted through a loudspeaker.
But the other party continued walking as if he hadn’t heard.
"Last warning, stop your steps!"
Deep Cold shouted again.
But still, there was no effect. 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓅𝓊𝓫.𝒸ℴ𝓶
"Release the darts!" Stephen bellowed angrily.
Contempt!
This was contempt!
Whoosh!
Ten hidden weapons were released simultaneously.
As the darts flew, the man leaned back, and somehow a bottle of cola appeared in his hand.
Clang!
The dart hit precisely on the bottle cap, flipping it off.
Gulug.
Julius Reed took a sip of soda and continued walking forward.
