Chapter 252: The Obedience of the Guard Chief(2/2)
It is not easy for such a sailor to reveal his identity.
"Okay. I understand."
Grosso sighed openly, obviously not wanting to work with that useless nobleman, but since it was Lawrence's order, he had no choice but to nod and agree.
"By the way, there's one more thing..."
Lawrence suddenly remembered something, got up and opened the bottom drawer of the bedside table, took out an unmarked and undecorated envelope and handed it to Grosso, saying:
"When you arrive at Valletta Port, find someone to send this letter back to Marseille City Hall."
Grosso took the envelope and stuffed it into his pocket, and asked casually: "Are you going to ask that alderman to do something for you again?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Ask him to help deliver a message, just as a backup." Lawrence looked out the window at the Mediterranean Sea shrouded in night, shook his head and said:
"I just hope this backhand won't be used."
...
For the next four days, Lawrence spent the whole four days in Manor Castle, quietly waiting for news from Grand Captain Erwin, Grosso and Franche.
This kind of life is also very leisurely. During the day, I read some books collected over hundreds of years in the monastery's library, and at night, I took a walk in the castle garden. Whenever it was time for meals, there were monks from the Order carrying them.
Meals are delivered on large trays.
Major Serulier also accompanied Lawrence in the castle. As a devout Catholic, he still had a strong interest in the life of the monastery and did not find it boring.
Grosso left Fort Manoel and headed for the Port of Valletta the next day. The apparent reason was to return to the ship to stabilize the soldiers' emotions, but in reality, he followed Lawrence's instructions and began to meet François.
Together they began to assemble the physical and personal evidence of the Royal Navy's attack.
This morning, he sent someone to secretly send a message to Lawrence, saying that he had found a suitable framed target, and that France could report to Grand Commander Erwin at any time.
The Knights still did not give Lawrence a definite answer. They just called all the senior officials for an interview with Lawrence again and asked for detailed information about the Royal Navy's attack on the island of Malta.
However, after that interview, Grand Master Erwin still had not made a decision and seemed to still have a wait-and-see attitude.
Lawrence could understand the grand leader's indecision. After all, this was a decision related to the subsequent fate of this knightly order with a history of more than 700 years.
I am afraid that Grand Captain Erwin will not dare to make an easy decision until he sees the masts of the British ships appearing on the horizon.
However, it was impossible for Lawrence to wait until Grand Commander Erwin had the British gun pointed at his nose before making a decision.
Today is already September 29th, there is no more time to waste.
