Chapter 122
An old man with white hair, beard, and eyebrows was leaning on a railing and looking into the distance.

The old man was probably in his 70s, and perhaps he had been in a high position for a long time. Even though his expression was calm, there was still a frightening aura emanating from him, making the surrounding air oppressive and dull.

The servants know that the master is not in a good mood recently, so they try to hide as far away as possible, so as not to block the master's eyes and provoke unreasonable reprimands.

Outside the courtyard, a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes came in a hurry.

"Father, this is the result of Anthony's investigation."

When the old man turned around, he was the leader of the peace faction, Grand Duke Keqis.

"It actually takes a few days to investigate such a little thing."

The Grand Duke Keqishi reached out to take the document and slowly opened it.There was a faint taste of blame in his mouth.

The middle-aged man in Chinese clothes lowered his head, not daring to make a sound.

Even as a son, he felt a lot of pressure facing the majestic Grand Duke.

"Huh?" The Grand Duke snorted softly, as if surprised by the information.

The middle-aged man took the opportunity to say: "From the intelligence point of view, this Anthony is not simple. Not only is he very strong in martial arts, but he is also very smart. Because of his joining, the Hilton family in Edinburgh was not only able to get rid of the fate of being besieged and destroyed. , but became more and more powerful. In the first month of arriving in the imperial capital, the Iron Sword Gang, a third-rate gang that also assisted the underground world, turned defeat into victory, defeated powerful enemies, and developed into the leader of the most powerful alliance of three factions in the underground world. Then, by destroying the underground world Boss shakes the evidence collected by the Mountain League and convinces His Majesty that the court meeting..."

The middle-aged man suddenly realized something, and his words stopped abruptly.

The middle-aged man was eager to perform in order to increase the points in his father's heart, and almost forgot that at the court meeting that day, the Grand Duke Keqishi could be regarded as losing face.Besides, the Grand Duke was already there that day, so there is no need for him to say more.

Fortunately, the Grand Duke just gave him a sideways glance, which made him shrink back in fright, but he didn't say anything.

The middle-aged man lowered his head, not daring to speak anymore.

There was silence in the house, except for the salsa sound of the old man occasionally flipping the paper.

After a long time, Grand Duke Keqishi gently closed the documents in his hand and patted them together.

"This young man is really not simple."

At the court meeting that day, Anthony turned out to be the founder of a major change in the relationship between the two empires.The Grand Duke is old and mature, and he only treats the young man's verbal offense as a breeze, but he has a slight vigilance about the young man's background.

So after returning from the court meeting, he ordered his son to start an investigation.

Judging from the information, the young man is just like what his son said, he is both civil and military, very good.But the Grand Duke Keqishi didn't care about it, but saw something different from another angle.

This Anthony had no connection with the royal family in the past.At least before he entered the imperial capital, he had never dealt with the royal family.

In other words, the scene where Anthony and His Majesty the King performed at the court meeting was probably not premeditated.

There was an inexplicable smile on the Grand Duke's face.

"Is everything ready?"

He asked very abruptly, without beginning or end.But the middle-aged man knew exactly what his father was referring to.

"The manpower arrangement has been put in place, and the evacuation route and corresponding coordination matters after the success are also prepared."

When the middle-aged man said this, he couldn't hide a little hesitation in his eyes: "It's just, do we really want to do this?"

With a snap, the Grand Duke Keqis slapped the documents on the table, his tone already showing strong dissatisfaction.

"There is no turning back when you start the bow! The decision has been made early, and the beginning of the matter has been done, so there is no room for hesitation and retreat. If you want to get a good harvest without taking risks yourself, how can there be such a good thing in the world. "

The Grand Duke glanced at his son, feeling a little disappointed.

As a leader, you don't have to have a smart brain or powerful force.But a decisive and unwavering character is essential.

"Since the preparations have been made, there is no need to delay. Find the right time to launch it immediately."

"Yes! Father."

The middle-aged man nodded heavily.

……

On the streets of the imperial capital, Anthony walked casually.

Beside him was the elegant Princess Yalina.As usual, a white gauze scarf covered her charming face, but the relief projected from her big nimble eyes couldn't be concealed no matter what.

Her own predicament has been broken by Anthony.But the predicament that the Brilliant Empire had to face made her have to take on another worry besides unloading the burden.

Anthony glanced at her from the corner of his eyes, and he was very clear about the worries in her heart.

"Yarina, look over there."

Her Royal Highness followed his guidance and saw a group of young people dressed as scholars gathering together, loudly condemning the cruelty of the Riga Empire.Among them, a few tall and thin youths who were quite frail, actually clamored loudly that they wanted to abandon their pens and join the army, and went to the front line to kill the enemy and serve the country.

Yalena looked at the "handsome" young man who was like a bamboo pole, and the other scholars who were trying their best to dissuade them, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

"The courage of these warriors is commendable. It's just that with their thin bodies, even if they sign up at the recruiting office, it may be difficult for them to be recruited."

"Yes. The few people over there have some chances." Anthony responded casually, pointing at the other side casually.

There was also a group of people gathered together, and the conversation was obviously much rougher.But there are seven or eight big men with swollen faces and rough hair on their hands and feet.

"The people of the imperial capital, and even all the people of the entire glorious empire, are so determined to resist the aggression of the Riga Empire. They are so determined. You should have confidence in them, and in our empire."

Yalena knew that Anthony was comforting herself, her heart warmed up, and she couldn't help but smile playfully on her face: "Of course, these are all designed and operated by Lord Viscount Anthony. This princess has no confidence in anyone, and I dare not treat our young genius Not confident."

Anthony also grinned: "That's right, I can tell jokes now, it didn't waste my efforts."

He pointed to the group of people who passed by with Raglan shoulders just now, and talked loudly about the group of people who were going to fight the enemy: "The people of my glorious empire have never lacked the blood and courage to resist oppression and aggression. Even without my design guidance , they still make the same choice in the end. It’s just that the time comes sooner or later.”

"It's just because they have been suppressed for too long. The nobles and high-ranking officials of our empire all think that our glorious empire is not as good as the Riga Empire. Once the two countries go to war in an all-out way, they will definitely be beaten to pieces without any suspense. They completely ignored the wishes and appeals of ordinary citizens of the empire, and they could not clearly see the enormous power contained in these wishes and appeals."

"Just for these lovely people with low status but extremely noble character, we already have sufficient reasons to lead them to defeat the hateful Riga Empire and regain the freedom and dignity that originally belonged to us."

Anthony's tone was flat, but his face was solemn.

At this time, a member of the Iron Sword Gang suddenly appeared on the other side of the street. As soon as they saw Anthony, they rushed towards Anthony in a hurry.

"Mr. Anthony, urgent news!"

While talking in a low voice, the group of people put a sealed letter into Anthony's hand.
