Machine War: Starting from Gundam OO

Chapter 1637 Cruze Takes Action Personally

Carolan left Free this time in order to get in touch with the Promuos Legion, but it was not because he wanted to be an insider or promote the integration of the Earth and Free. Instead, he was assigned by Granton to come to the Promuos Legion to seek cooperation.

Carolan and Gulendon do not have a superior-subordinate relationship, but a cooperative one. They are both ambitious realists. When they saw that the young Queen did not have the skills and courage to lead Free to become powerful, they began to have evil thoughts.

In feudal society, it’s still the same old thing, seizing power and usurping the throne.

But Free's situation is somewhat different. Although the queen and the chief priest, who are at the pinnacle of power, did not do much after fleeing to the moon, and Free's situation became worse and worse, Free's loyalty and faith in the royal family are still very high. Not everyone with the ability can overthrow the royal family and ascend the throne.

So...Gullandon came up with a great idea, which was to force the young queen to marry him and then give birth to a child for him. Before the child grew up, he would be the real king behind the scenes of Free. When he was old, his own child could also inherit the throne of Free, which meant that the throne of Free would fall into the hands of the Gullandon family.

As for the threat of the Promuos Corps...Glendon still doesn't believe that the Promuos Corps is really here to help the Earth. These gentle practices are just a means to occupy the Earth. But in Granton's view, the Promuos Corps is very stupid. They have such powerful strength, but they still do so many laborious and thankless things. Wouldn't it be better to just occupy the Earth with absolute power?

So Granton thought, since the Prometheus Legion also wants to occupy the earth and has the same goal as him, can't they cooperate?

Moreover, Granton scoffed at the intelligence that came in. What absolute strength? What Free had no ability to resist? This was all nonsense. As long as he could get the throne machine, or in other words, he could freely use the ability to stop time, no force would be a threat.

So Gulenton asked Carolan to contact the Promise Legion and reach a cooperation to help him capture Free first, and then divide the ruling power of the earth equally.

I can only say... the once powerful Free Empire has really declined. Free, which was able to develop the Ogon Extractor and the Time Stop Device, was undoubtedly powerful, but now... they are just a group of frogs in a well.

"Tattatt..." Cruze didn't say anything after listening to it. He tapped the armrest of the sofa with his fingers. He wanted to complain about this Granton and his third-rate palace fighting plan, but it didn't seem polite.

"What stage are we at now?" Cruze asked Carolan.

"We have already won over the remaining two paladins, as well as a group of knight candidates. We are currently waiting for Free's awakening day, and then announcing... no, accusing Orlando Ziyun of treason."

"So... Sora has power?"

"This... Lord Cruze may not know that the Paladins are high-ranking nobles in Free and have a very high status and prestige..."

"No, no, no, what I mean is...where is Sergeant Zai? Is there no civil servant?" Cruze interrupted Carolan and asked.

"Um... this... the chief magistrate has a high reputation among the civil servants, and he is also a stubborn old man and a staunch royalist, so..."

"Ugh……"

Cruze finally understood that this Grundon was a big bandit. Otherwise, he would have tried to win over the chief sergeant, or at least a group of civil servants. Otherwise, even if you had the power to seize the throne, how would Free survive in the future? How would it develop?

Of course, you can rob and occupy the earth if you think you are strong, but... what then? Isn't it enough to learn from the lesson of the group that started out by colonial plunder, then continued to follow the path of colonial hegemony, and finally fell into the sunset?

"Lord Cruze?"

"Okay." Cruze asked Carolan to stop talking about their stupid plan and asked something else. "Do you know what the queen's attitude is? It's not the attitude guided by Orlando Ziyun or that chief sergeant. It's her own idea."

"This... I'm very sorry, Lord Cruze." Carolan lowered her head and said to Cruze, "The only person who can talk to Her Majesty the Queen alone, besides the Chief Monsignor, is the Paladin Fleur Monroe. We..."

"Yeah... I see." The general intelligence matched, but there was still some key intelligence that he hadn't gotten, causing Cruze to be unable to decide what attitude to take towards Free. "Can you arrange for me to go to Free? I mean... the kind that no one knows about, especially Granton."

"This... Lord Cruze, you don't need to take risks. If it's inside Free, I can..."

"But you don't have private access to the Queen, do you?" "I'm... so sorry."

"That's it, send me to Free tomorrow."

"I understand, Master Cruze, I will arrange it for you..."

"No, no, no, I don't need you to arrange anything." Although Cruze didn't like to discourage others' enthusiasm, he was too eager to show off, which would easily lead to unnecessary trouble, especially for Carolan. He always felt that asking him to arrange something bad would lead to bad things. "You just need to take me into Free quietly, and then do whatever needs to be done. Just pretend that I don't exist. I will contact you if I need anything. Do you understand?"

"But……"

"Huh? What's the problem?"

"No... no problem!"

"Very well, go ahead."

"Okay... okay."

Cruze ordered everyone to leave, and Carolan didn't dare to stay in the room any longer. But after he left, Al Elf and Kane, who were guarding the door, came in together. Al Elf stood straight beside the sofa, but Kane didn't mind at all and sat directly in the seat originally reserved for Carolan.

"I can go and take care of this matter. There is no need for you to go in person." Kane said to Cruze calmly. A small country that has been closed off for too long does not need Cruze to go in person. He can go. After all, Cruze is the chief of the intelligence department, and someone needs to be in charge of a business as big as the Earth.

"It's nice to go out on a field trip once in a while, and... I have a good idea that I want to... no, I must make happen."

"What a coincidence. I have an idea as well." Kane showed the same sinister smile as Cruze, "Free shouldn't mind having another prince, right?"

"Of course not." Cruze's smile became even wider. Kane was indeed the same type of person as him.

"Al Elf, what do you think?" Cruze looked at Al Elf standing aside and asked.

"This person is useless. We have to find a chance to get rid of him."

"..."When it comes to the art of making smile disappear, it has to be Al Alf. This is totally irrelevant to the question!

"Forget it." Cruze was used to Al Elf's shrewdness and seriousness. "Al Elf, you and I will go to Free tomorrow. Kane, you will return to Earth with Mao's Heavy Industry's things later. I'll leave that place to you for the time being."

"learn."

"You're not afraid to leave it to me? Aren't you afraid that I'll usurp power? Or... hehe?"

"If you can do that, I'd love to see it."

"Then you just wait and see." Kane didn't like Cruze, who was more gloomy and crazier than him. He knew he was being seen through, so he stood up and was about to leave. But before he left, he thought of something and turned to ask Cruze, "Did you... use too much force?"

"Wow? You figured it out?" Cruze's mouth curled up dangerously. "Yes, a little bit. Can you help me practice it again?"

"Thank you very much. I can add another thread to my brain." Kane walked away with a grim look on his face.
