Chapter 657 The Beneficiary
“Now that the matter is over, I will no longer hide it from everyone.”
Emperor William took over the conversation and said softly: “Mo is right, everyone here The most suspect among you are Duke Garros, Marshal Galahad, and Mo. According to Mr. Liver and I's previous guesses, although Garros and Marshal are unlikely to be the objects of Tianzhu Mountain's prophecy, there is a possibility of being controlled. But it is extremely high. As for our Sin Lord, he is very likely to be the initiator of all this."
Arthur laughed, patted Mo's shoulder hard, and grinned: "But that should have been the case. Past tense, right?”
“Yes.”
William also laughed and nodded: "After Mr. Li Fo's investigation over the past few months, the Grand Duke Garros and the Marshal have been eliminated as suspects, and Mo Zai, Fossey and Arthur are in the process of suppressing the rebellion. Zhongya has proven that he is not guilty, so I will call you all here today to speak out."
Everyone nodded, but there was still a trace of doubt in the eyes of Earl Moody and Marquis Miranda. , they felt
"With all due respect, Your Majesty, if the situation is really so bad, wouldn't it be a little too hasty to conclude that I am not suspected just based on my performance in counterinsurgency?" "
As a result, Mo was the first to question William's explanation just now, and said in a deep voice as if he was discussing other people's matters: "If the matter is really as serious as what Your Majesty and Mr. Li Fo said, then The contribution made in a counter-insurgency war does not seem to be enough to prove anything. After all, besides me, the Grand Duke Garros and the Marshal, who are also highly suspected, have made a lot of contributions to the empire, and their weight is far greater than mine. Go up."
[Is this person crazy? ! 】
At this moment, many people involuntarily came up with this idea, not to mention that Arthur almost fell off the chair, and even Garros and Galahad had a flash of surprise in their eyes.
"Oh?"
William Bohe also looked at the sin lord sitting at the bottom in surprise, stared at the clear black eyes under the latter's mask and asked: " You mean, we shouldn’t stop doubting you?”
< br>Mo immediately shook his head and said: "Of course not, I just think that besides countering the rebellion, His Majesty and Mr. Li Fo should have other reasons to prove my innocence."
"Oh, I know you are I want to reassure everyone.”
William smiled slightly, feeling more and more that this young man who Arthur was very optimistic about had a delicate mind. Not only could he immediately hear that his words were not perfect, he would even ask such a question specifically to avoid estrangement from other interested people. He couldn't help but smile and said: "Okay, let Mr. Li Fo give you a brief explanation."
"It's very simple. I have been secretly following Mr. Suijue after the counter-rebel army set off."
Li Fo nodded and said bluntly: "In the process, he was continuously checked through the secret method of Tianzhu Mountain, and it took nearly a month to conclude that there is indeed no problem. ’ conclusion, so you can rest assured.”
Earl Moody and others who also felt that William’s previous explanation was not perfect were relieved.
On the other hand, Arthur frowned slightly and asked Li Fu: "Did you follow us?"
"Yes, Your Highness."
Li Fu nodded happily and said with a smile: "But to be precise, I am just following the Lord of Sin."
"Why? Do this?"
Arthur stared directly into Li Fu's eyes and said solemnly: "Since you have doubts, why not check Mo directly?"
Li Fu? Spreading his hands, Feng Qingyun said calmly: "Because it was the best opportunity, I took it upon myself to conduct a follow-up investigation without consulting His Majesty. As for your second question, let's put it this way, Under the premise that Lord Sin is indeed the prophesied evil, I, who is not as powerful as Master Farah, am not sure that I can detect anything when he is on guard, let alone that I can escape unscathed after revealing his true face. .”
"A very good reason."
Arthur breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes sharp: "But with the support of the entire empire, this method of handling it is a bit too petty, right?"
Li Fo was silent for a moment, and then said lightly: "I understand your mood, Your Highness, but you don't We know how dangerous the prophesied Shadow of Apocalypse is. If we don't handle it carefully, even if we have the power of the entire empire to drive it, it is still very likely to lead to the worst ending."
Arthur laughed dryly, He seemed to want to say something, but he was kicked secretly by Mo from behind, and then he curled his lips and stopped talking.
"Relax, my child."
William stopped being silent and winked at Arthur gently: "One day you will have the opportunity to practice your own kingly way, but now you still have a lot to learn, although they may not be the best for you. Correct, but it can still be used as a reference when you encounter difficulties in the future."
The anger on Arthur's face immediately disappeared, and he bowed his head in conviction: "Yes, Father."
"Very good, now, since everyone already knows the situation."
William knocked on the table lightly and looked around the people in the room: "Let us discuss the future. Let’s talk about what we can do, what we should do, and how we should deal with this national disaster.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Different from the superstructure of the Violet Empire, in the core meeting of the Chauvinian Empire, William Bohe, who almost single-handedly reshaped the country, has absolute authority, so after he announced today's topic, everyone here was almost at the same time. Time immediately left those irrelevant thoughts behind and quickly entered the state.
"No matter what, we must grasp the enemy's movement trajectory. There are two time points that can be determined at present."
The first one to speak was Earl Moody, who after a brief pause Then he raised his head and said with a serious face: "First of all, the other party once sang on the 1st day of this year's Lanzhi Moon. Appeared in Banser City in the southern part of the empire and slaughtered them all in just a few hours. The method was extremely cruel and no one was left alive. Secondly, it was confirmed by Mr. Li Fu that on the 4th day of the same month, Master Ossis On the day of his death, that existence also appeared at the old site of Banser City, which had been turned into a cursed place, so It can be basically inferred that Master Ossis had contacted him in some form 4 days ago and was controlled."
Everyone nodded slightly, obviously agreeing with Count Moody's inference, and floated there. Li Fu, who was above the magic crystal, also added: "Also, exclude the most basic routine Communication, the last time Master Ossis went to Tianzhu Mountain was the 6th of Shadow Moon Melody last year. I can guarantee that he was definitely not eroded by any force at that time."
"9570 in the Holy Calendar. Is it between the 6th of the Shadow Moon Melody and the 4th of the Arashi Moon Prayer in 9571?"
Earl Moody patted his forehead with a headache, then turned to William and said seriously: "I will sort out the people who have been in contact with the Lord Dharma God during this period and the places he has been to as soon as possible and give them to you."
"How long will it take?"
"As long as the Supervision Office maintains normal work, it will be one month, and if we go all out, it will be half a month."
"I'll give you ten days."< br>
William raised his glass to Burke.
The latter immediately showed a wry smile, but still nodded without thinking: "As you command, Your Majesty."
"Mr. Li Fo."
Tall and taciturn' Seventh The head of the army, Count Perkins Fred, turned his attention to Li Fu: "I want to know whether the instigator you call is still in the empire. If possible, there is also specific information about the other party, even if it is outdated. Information is fine."
In the end, Li Fu just spread his hands and said, "I know nothing about that existence as you all do. The only thing that can be determined now is that the other party is very likely to be an intelligent creature like us. And it is not a highly identifiable existence. As for whether he is still in the empire now. I have no way of knowing this. I can only confirm that the royal control area centered on Trenn, the former Kunda territory and the territory of Prince Batello There has been nothing unusual in these three places for a short period of time." Earl Perkins frowned, but did not say anything more. He simply nodded: "Understood."
The next person to speak was Galahad. The old general clenched his fists with a gloomy face: "On the 4th day of the prayer, the old site of Banser City was only occupied by me, Garros, the Sin Lord, the Knights of the Tsar's Sword, and the Hurricane Mage Group. Members, I will compile a list of the knights who participated in the operation when I get back. Please take the trouble to check it out, Mr. Li Fo.”
“ Me too."
Garros also echoed, and then said in a deep voice: "To be on the safe side, Marshal, we might as well compile the list of the dead that day and give it to Diggory. Find a way to investigate and see if it's possible to change your identity and fake your death."
Galahad nodded slightly.
Marquis Digory, who was responsible for coordinating intelligence, also immediately expressed his position: "I should go all out."
Marquis McBride, who was not good at investigation and intelligence, shrugged: "I will take care of the logistics."
Marquis Clement stroked his white beard and said calmly. He said: "Then leave the work of guiding public opinion and stabilizing the domestic situation to me. However, if we are pursuing speed, the former Kunda Territory may need Earl Perkins to lend me some manpower."
"Ten half-step epics, five at the beginning of the epic, and one at the peak of the epic."
Perkins's answer was concise and to the point.
“That’s enough.”
Marquis Clement nodded with satisfaction.
Marquis Miranda chuckled and said with a smile: "Then I will let the Huiyue Sect give some blood. The empire has raised them for so many years. Now that they are in trouble, everyone With such a good relationship, it’s natural to have difficulties.”
“Be careful.”
William reminded her with a smile.
“Don’t worry, Your Majesty.”
Miranda smiled and licked the corners of her lips: "I will try not to squeeze them dry."
William raised his eyebrows noncommittally, then turned to look at the person sitting on the edge. The two young people smiled and said: "What about you? What do you think?"
"Cooperate with your work."
Arthur patted his chest righteously, and then turned his eyes to Mo with his father: "What about you?"
The latter scratched his cheek in embarrassment: "This is my first time to participate in such an occasion. , I really have no experience and don’t know what I can do, so I will just let you do whatever you want during the next period of time.”
"That makes sense, but I really want to hear your thoughts, even if it's just an idea."
William smiled at Mo, as if he had no intention of letting Mo go, and then sat down with him again. The crown prince who nodded his head next to the latter said: "You too, Arthur, I know you already have an idea."
The latter spread his hands: "Mo speaks first."
So everyone's eyes turned to Mo sitting in the corner.
“Okay then”
Zui Jue, who was involved in this kind of thing for the first time, could only nod helplessly, stroking his chin and said in deep thought: "Most of the specific matters have already been discussed by you adults very well before. I personally also very much agree with this vigorous and resolute way of dealing with it, so I have been trying to look at this matter from other angles just now, and I have some vague ideas, if you don’t mind”
< br>"Of course you won't mind~"
Miranda interrupted him with a smile, and also gave him a wink: "You can definitely be more courageous."
Arthur also bumped Mo Tan with his elbow and urged: "Hurry up, hurry up."
"Well, if that's the case, then I'll just tell you."
Mo lightly tapped half of his mask and said softly: "I wonder if you have ever thought about whether there is any connection between this series of events."
As soon as he finished speaking, Arthur next to him smiled triumphantly: "That's exactly what I was going to say."
In addition to him, Marquis Diggory, Earl Moody and Marquis Miranda also smiled.
And William looked at Mo with more approval and encouragement in his eyes, nodded and said: "Go on."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Mo bowed slightly, then changed from his previous embarrassment and said calmly: "We might as well go through the order of things happening. First, the trigger of everything was the disaster in Banse City, and then the subordinate Tian Lord Farah Ossis of Pillar Mountain was controlled at a certain point in time. When we investigated Banser City for the second time, we fell under the siege of Lord Marshal, Grand Duke Garros and two legions. As a result, we lost the entire The strongest man in the empire, the protector of the country with a background in Tianzhu Mountain."
Everyone nodded.
"Then the mysterious disappearance of His Highness the Prince, who had been active in the royal capital, occurred some time later. His body appeared in the Imperial Thorn Castle, and according to the steward who brought his body back, The murderer turned out to be the royal family who knew nothing about this matter."
Mo raised his head and glanced at the huge royal coat of arms on the opposite wall, and said in a low voice: "Then there are Grand Duke Fossa and Withem. The Duke's negotiation ended before it even started. A group of unidentified people attacked the negotiation place and killed Duke Witham after forcing the Grand Duke Fossey away, directly extinguishing the prince's line."
< br>“And this led to the high-level officials in Kangda’s leadership who were overwhelmed by anger to collectively lose control and decide to raise the flag of rebellion to fight a civil war that was bound to fail.”
"There is no need to go into details about what happened after that. All in all, the rebels were defeated like this. They were defeated too quickly."
"So, what if they didn't lose so quickly? If they persisted as much as they theoretically would, then How many days?”
“Who will be the biggest beneficiary?”
