Machine War: Starting from Gundam OO

Chapter 1651 Ready to begin

Although Granton was anxious, it was not useless, or rather... his main goal was achieved, which was to eliminate the followers around Shanamia.

Even if he could use Cruze's help to turn the tables, Dania Gad could not appear again after her fake death. The civil service group was still angry, and the people were still irritable. It was impossible for him to come out and clarify anything. In order to clear himself of suspicion, Orlando Ziyun had to cooperate with the investigation. Since he had to cooperate with the investigation, he could not continue to stand by Shanamia and provide assistance. In this way, the only one left by Shanamia's side was Fleur Monroe, who could be controlled at any time.

This was an open conspiracy. Regardless of whether or not Grundon could kill Orlando Ziyun in the end, his goal had been achieved. He could do whatever he wanted when there was no one around Shanamiya, or even put Shanamiya under house arrest. What's more...

But unfortunately, he did not take into account the existence of Cruze.

"Mr. Cruze, what should we do next?" Shanamia asked Cruze. Dania Gad could only hide in the dark, Orlando Ziyun was under investigation, and Fulu Monroe was not good at strategy. She was now like an ant on the hot pan, feeling anxious and restless.

"Go deal with Granton first." With such a big thing happening, it is impossible for Granton not to show up. Cruze expected that he would not only show up, but also strongly ask Shanamia to intensify the investigation into Orlando Ziyun and let him be responsible for this matter.

While there is no one around Shanamia, use the greatest deterrence possible.

"I understand, Mr. Cruze."

……

"Your Majesty, this matter must be investigated thoroughly!" Isn't it? As soon as Shanamiya left Cruze's room, Granton came to the palace to meet Shanamiya. Both his momentum and wording were full of oppression.

"Don't worry, Lord Granton. I have already ordered a thorough investigation of the matter. The Chief of the Forbidden Guard is also under investigation. I believe it won't be long before we get to the bottom of it." Shanamia responded to Granton according to the words she had prepared in advance.

"Your Majesty, forgive me for being blunt, but the Chief of Staff was assassinated, and the Chief of Staff is the main suspect. You have no one left to use, so please leave this matter to me. I will investigate it thoroughly."

"Lord Granton, are you saying that I, the queen, am not worthy of the title?" Shanamiya pretended to be angry, but she was very nervous. So far, the content of the conversation was what Cruze had expected, and her answers were just reading the lines according to the script. But Shanamiya was not a veteran actor, and she was not sure whether Granton would see anything.

"I dare not. Your Majesty still has me, the Knights, and the Paladins under his command. As your Majesty's subject, I naturally have to share your worries." Gulandon lowered his head, making it difficult to see his expression.

"You don't have to worry about this matter, Lord Granton. I have arranged the most suitable person to conduct the investigation. The people are very excited now. You must lead the Knights to maintain public order to prevent the people from rioting."

Are you kidding? How could the investigation of Orlando Ziyun be handed over to Granton? Orlando Ziyun would definitely die, and then a suicide note would be placed in front of everyone, so Shanamia had only one task, which was to prevent Granton from interfering in this matter.

"May I ask who your Majesty has arranged to investigate this matter?" Gulandon did not accept the order, but raised his head and questioned Shanamiya in return, his sharp eyes seemed to pierce Shanamiya through.

"This is not something you should ask, Lord Granton. Before the truth comes out, everyone is suspicious, including you." Shanamiya said sternly.

"...I understand. I will return to the Knights now." For some reason, Grundon felt as if he had never known Shanamia. Based on his understanding of Shanamia, even if she would not bow to him, she would not be so strong... No, it should be said that Shanamia has never been so strong and serious. Grundon even thought for a moment that Shanamia was a wise king. She couldn't do it with Orlando Ziyun and Dania Gede by her side, and it was even more impossible for her to do it alone now.

Orlando Ziyun wanted to see more, but he found that he couldn't find the problem. If Shanamia didn't give in, he couldn't forcefully intervene, so he could only retreat, but...

"Go and check who took over... Forget it, let the Knights get ready and surround the palace. No one can enter or leave without my permission." In the car, Granton said to the butler who was driving.

"yes."……

"Huh~" After Granton left, Shanamia breathed a sigh of relief. All the sweat she had been holding in flowed down, and her face turned pale.

"What a wonderful performance, Lady Shanamia. If it weren't for the detection of mental waves, we would never have discovered the problem." Cruze walked out of the shadows while applauding.

"Mr. Cruze, what should we do next?" Shanamia wiped the sweat off her face and asked Cruze.

"If it goes as expected, Granton will directly mobilize the Knights to take control of the palace."

"How dare he?" Shanamiya exclaimed.

"This is the order you gave him, Lord Shanamia, to dispatch the Knights to maintain public order, which also includes the safety of the royal palace. This is the top priority." Cruze explained.

"This...is not what you asked me to..."

"Yes, I told you to say that, and... that's exactly what I wanted him to do." As he spoke, the corners of Cruze's mouth curled up dangerously, which was frightening. "If he was just talking, it would be difficult for me to deal with him, but now that he is about to take action, our chance has come, and... it's an opportunity he took the initiative to give us."

"What opportunity?" Shanamia relaxed a little after hearing that. She did not doubt that Cruze and Granton had joined forces to seize Free. After all, the interests of Granton and the Prosme Legion were conflicting, and Granton had touched their reverse scale.

"You'll see, leave the rest to us."

"Mr. Cruze! You..."

"This is a necessary sacrifice, Lady Shanamia. If you can't even bear this, then our cooperation can be terminated." Cruze put away his smile and looked at Shanamia seriously.

"... Please... don't cause too many casualties, Mr. Cruze. Free... can't stand it anymore." Facing Cruze's oppressive aura, Shanamia said her request with great difficulty.

"Please rest assured about this, Lady Shanamia. I can assure you that none of the dead are innocent." As soon as he finished speaking, Cruze left the room and walked gracefully out of the palace. Along the way, he met a large number of guards and waiters, but they did not feel anything unusual about Cruze's presence and even respected him very much.

"Sir." El Elf, who appeared beside Cruze at some point, waited for Cruze's order, "Tell the people outside to get ready and wait for my order."

"learn."

"Also, once I start over here, you can detonate it."

"learn."
