My British Empire

ps: The second update, asking for a monthly ticket

Cooper, one of the ten captains of Edward's Darkblade. After learning of such an opportunity, Edward hurriedly asked Dark Blade to send personnel to Scotland to persuade Major Dio.

Cooper was chosen by Guy to be the emissary because of his eloquence, and he got this important task.

Because of his background (Cooper means cooper), he has been in contact with a lot of people since he was a child, so he has always been smooth-talking and good at dealing with strangers.

Unsatisfied with his fate as a small handicraft businessman, he joined the organization at the very first moment when Dark Blade was established.

It's a pity that his qualifications are too low, and he can only become a small ten-officer, which is due to his lip service.

As soon as he arrived in Edinburgh, he didn't act rashly and meet Major Dio directly. Instead, he kept spending money to inquire about the news, looking for all the information about Major Dio.

Moreover, he did not set his target on Major Dio, but set his target on the people around him to indirectly influence Major Dio. In this way, not only the difficulty factor is small, but it is also not easy to startle the enemy.

as expected. In less than half a day, Major Dio's personal captain——Boris, appeared in his sight.

The first time we met, he didn't say anything directly, but deliberately revealed some information, leaving a trace of thought.

In another day or two, the strategy of money will bring the relationship between the two closer. Today, he came to Boris' mansion, and prepared to invite him to eat, drink and have fun as usual, who knows that he is not at home.

After bribing the servants, he learned that Boris was urgently recruited into the mansion by Major Dio, and he knew in his heart whether he could succeed or not.

After staying for more than an hour, Boris finally returned to his mansion with a serious face and decisive actions, which was very different from the past.

Mr. Boris... Cooper was interrupted as soon as he spoke, Mr. Cooper, please follow me!

With a serious face, Boris waved to Cooper as an invitation.

Cooper had no other choice but to follow him into a secret room.

Mr. Cooper, don't you know what promise His Majesty the King made to my young master?

As soon as he sat down, Boris asked straight to the point, with a hint of eagerness.

But Cooper's heart was burning hot. He knew that this matter was half done.

After sorting out his thoughts, Cooper recalled the conditions given by Edward, and after confirming that there were no mistakes, he said carefully.

Before Your Majesty arrives, let me bring you an imperial edict with the national seal on it, which has benefits for your master!

In order to win the trust of Major Dio, Edward had to write a rescript with the Great Seal to reduce his suspicion.

It clearly states that as long as your master, that is, Major Dio, can lead all the French soldiers to open the gate of Edinburgh when Earl Wilson is leading the army, Major Dio will be canonized as Baron Huntington after that is done. , grant five thousand acres of land! And become a member of the House of Lords!

This is the greatest reward for your master. You know, our Majesty has not conferred a nobleman until now!

After talking about Edward's reward, Cooper couldn't help sighing, his eyes and tone were full of envy.

Seeing Boris listening attentively, Cooper continued, Mr. Boris, I will report to His Majesty for your contribution, and your contribution will never be forgotten!

You can't talk about the title, but there are still hundreds of acres of land!

Hearing this news, Boris showed a happy look, Where, I don't have any credit, it's all credit to my master!

That's what he said, but the smile on the corner of his mouth was still uncontrollable.

Okay, I will send you the imperial edict later, and you have to tell your master that on May 5th, at 8 o'clock in the evening, as long as you see waving torches under the city wall, you must open the city gate!

If those nobles and the Queen Mother of Scotland are captured, your master's reward will probably be even greater!

In the end, Cooper left after leaving a word, and he also wanted to inform Earl Wilson of Huntington of this important news.

Boris, who got the specific situation, told Major Dio about it, and after Major Dio received Edward's imperial edict with the seal of the state, he immediately discussed specific actions.

At noon on May 5th, the entire French barracks was full of joy and laughter.

With all his savings and the supplies in the army, Dio bought almost all the wine and meat on the streets of Edinburgh, and treated all the soldiers of the army to a feast.

According to the plan, first, General Dio's mid-level and high-level officers were invited to drink respectively. The high-level officers were about a dozen, while the middle-level officers were in their fifties.

The senior officers drank fine wine and embraced the lost woman invited by Dio, not caring about Dio's existence at all, and munched on the barbecue mixed with spices, all of them overjoyed.

Although I don't know why Your Majesty the Major invited them to drink, but the feast at the mouth is not free.

Dio drank wine with the senior officers in the army, but after a while, he escaped by urinating.

As soon as he got out of the tent, Dio saw Boris standing by and his more than fifty personal soldiers.

These soldiers are the loyal soldiers that Dio has accumulated over the past ten years. They are sturdy, brave and good at fighting, and they are loyal to him.

Boris, kill all the people inside in a while, remember to keep your voice down, and don't run away!

With a low voice, Dio looked left and right and said to Boris who was wearing armor.

I know, I promise not to miss one! Boris promised in a low voice.

Basically, these high-ranking officials are either the children of nobles or have backgrounds. They don't obey Dio very much in their hearts, and when he failed the king's mission, they even disobeyed him.

Only by killing can he completely control the army.

Dio came to another tent, and the middle-level officers inside were very warm to him. They didn't know the news that Dio had offended the king, but they were very warm to Dio. After all, he couldn't do anything to those senior officers, but he dealt with them Can be a piece of cake.

The officers surrounded him one by one, flattered Dio, toasted, and the hospitality was unstoppable. Dio drank a few glasses, and his head was a little dizzy.

He didn't forget the business, and immediately cheered up, showing a sad expression, and his eyes were a little red and swollen.

The officers below couldn't bear their temper and asked puzzledly: Major, why do you look sad?

Looking at the doubtful faces of the people, Dio slowly said in a sad tone: Everyone, we have been away from home for more than half a year, and we miss our family very much, so we are just a little sad!

But I just got a piece of news, and I won't hide it from you. I heard that His Majesty the King will allow us to stay in Scotland for a long time. The shortest is two or three years, and the longest is six or seven years. Thinking of this, I can't hide the sadness in my heart!
