Chapter 458 (2/2)
”Why?” Sean was stunned.
In fact, including Neil, also looked incredible.
”Because this so-called border war is actually a conspiracy from beginning to end.” William sneered, and his voice was a little lonely. ”At that time, there were four candidates who were expected to become the new Imperial Emperor within the Empire, but the current Imperial Emperor had the lowest support rate at that time, because no old nobles were optimistic about him. Unexpectedly, the strength displayed by the prince at that time was not as good as his brother and sister.”
Hearing this, Sean basically understood: ”so, in order to become the new king of the Millennium covenant Empire, the prince set up a plot against the old nobles with those new nobles who were not paid much attention to, and used it as a fuse to trigger the confrontation between the new and old nobles in the Empire...”
”It's not opposition, it's civil strife!” William corrected Sean's words, ”this is a war that swept the northwest of the Empire. A total of ten old nobles who have been inherited for more than 200 years were all killed in this war Under such circumstances, it was impossible for neighboring countries not to know these things, so at that time, in order to deal with the impending Emilia Empire, the northwest front army had no time to go out to suppress, and only mobilized legions from other parts of the Empire. However, no one thought that almost as soon as the mobilization order was issued, the king had a coup, More than 11 members of the royal family were killed in the coup, including the last king of the Millennium covenant Empire, the father of the new king. ”
”It was not until this time that the nobles of the whole empire reacted. It was a premeditated coup.”
”If it is a coup, then other nobles cannot swear allegiance?” Sean was a little shocked.
”It was true at the beginning, but in the first event after the coup, the emerging nobles in the northwest war circle immediately expressed their loyalty to the new king, and together with the northwest front army became the first batch of combat forces under the new king.” Neil said, obviously, Neil also studied the civil strife of the Millennium covenant Empire, ”then within one day, all the nobles living in the king's capital took an oath of allegiance to the new king. Although the specific situation is unknown, it is probably inseparable from threats, secret killings, inducements and other means After that, only 11 old nobles in the southern aristocracy circle, including two dukes, insisted on disobedience. However, when the situation in other places is settled, the new king naturally has enough military strength to calm the war in the south. ”
”What an Imperial Emperor with great means and courage.” Sean was surprised, but he seemed to realize that there was something wrong with the current situation, so Sean abruptly changed the topic, ”so what's your business? Haven't you left the Millennium covenant Empire? How can there be a handle? ”
”When I returned to the imperial border, the war in the northwest aristocratic circle had already happened, and what was waiting for us was a massacre.” William said in a deep voice, ”but we didn't know at that time. We didn't know we were trapped until we were surrounded. Although we rose up to resist, there were less than five people who finally escaped from the encirclement Just when we thought everything was going to end, I met a classmate I was studying at Wangdu military college. She was the daughter of an emerging aristocrat and seemed to be the commander of one of the defensive points in the encirclement. ”
”Oh!” Sean and Neil suddenly elongated their voices.
”It seems that I probably understand what's going on.” Sean nodded.
”I see.” Neil nodded, ”no wonder it's a handle So the girl is still alive? ”
”Yes, still alive.” William nodded, ”she let us leave at that time. Finally, only four people, including me, escaped successfully But the other three are civilians, so they left the Empire in the first event after they fled, but I can't. I have to go back to my family. ”
”And then?”
”Later, it was found that my family had chosen to take refuge in the new king in order to protect themselves.” William smiled bitterly, ”so from the beginning, I was an abandoned son and a victim But because I came back alive, some things began to become strange. The Imperial Intelligence Department didn't know why it found out that I was still alive, and what's more strange is that it wanted to crown me as an earl, or a field earl But I think I can't stand these things, so I chose to leave the Empire, but I didn't expect that I was monitored by the Imperial Intelligence Department, so I had to go back to my classmate and successfully fled the Empire under her cover. ”
”So now your classmate has been caught by the Empire?”
”Yes.” William nodded. ”Although I don't know what happened later, according to dills, leice was arrested five years ago, but if it was for helping me escape to the Empire, it should have been ten years ago.”
”Didn't the man named deers say anything more?” Sean asked.
”After he told me this that day, I didn't see him again. I left the interrogation to rupee.” William said somewhat depressed.
”What does he want you to do?”
”Tell him who the awakened person of Phoenix blood is, and tell him the list of everyone who went in and out of the gorge Rift Valley six months ago, and let him leave.” William sighed. ”How could I tell him about Cecilia? As for the rift valley, you don't have to think about it. He must be looking for that secret research institute. If I told him all this, wouldn't I be betraying Sean and Cecilia? ”
”It doesn't hurt to tell him.” Sean suddenly smiled.
”What do you mean?” William and Neil were stunned.
”It doesn't matter to tell him about Cecilia and me.” Sean said calmly, ”anyway, we didn't want to let him live from the beginning, so it doesn't matter to tell him these things As long as he has been imprisoned with us, it is impossible for him to divulge the information. ”
”But...” William was stunned.
Hearing Sean's words, Neil thought and immediately understood. He turned to William and said in a deep voice, ”are you a little nervous? If we really let him go, but he doesn't release leice, won't we lose a lot We won't let laice go until he lets him go. But if we let him go, the Millennium covenant empire will certainly know that we have a man like Beth, so we can't let him go. ”
From the very beginning, the moment deers was caught, Sean, Neil and William had reached a consensus that deers must not be allowed to leave.
Otherwise, the Millennium covenant empire will know the situation here in the void City, so there may be stronger enemies in the plan against Sean in the future, which Sean and others can't bear. Therefore, when dills was caught, his fate was doomed. Secret death would only be his belonging, and no one else would know his whereabouts.
William, on the other hand, only forgot something because he lost his square when he heard about leice.
”But if he gave the order...” William thought carefully, ”does this mean that the Millennium covenant empire may follow this clue to my head and find that dills disappeared from us?”
”It's just an intelligence officer or a spy. Will the Millennium covenant Empire come to us for investigation?” Sean curled his mouth.
”No.” Neil suddenly understood William's concern, ”it's because we won't make a big fuss, so we'll be more troublesome. We can't catch all of them, can we? Moreover, deers's strength, but even Beth was injured. If it was really found that he disappeared here, it would be meaningless to execute him secretly. ”
”What about leice?”
In the conference room, there was silence again.
……
At the same time, in tonis fortress, a mysterious man wearing a hooded cloak who couldn't see his true face was pushing the back door of a tavern. Then he went upstairs and knocked on a door.
”Come in.” There was a dry cough in the room.
The next moment, the door was pushed open. The mysterious man who entered the room opened his hood and knelt respectfully on one knee: ”sir.”
”Still no news from dills?” The ”adult” in the room is a handsome middle-aged man. Although he doesn't wear armor and only carries a knight's sword, he still exudes an unparalleled majesty. Even if he sits in this humble room, his sitting posture is still impeccable.
This middle-aged man is Dragon Knight Thurman, head of the holy Dragon Knights of the Millennium covenant empire.
