Terra Martial God and Merit System

Ioletta also knew the course of the war.

It is said that the important turning point was the sudden explosion of the Ursus flagship, the Glory, which resulted in the defeat of the entire army.

After the warship exploded, some people in the Terran United Army believed that Luo Chen had intervened to influence the war. After all, a warship of this size could not be damaged suddenly, so it could only be caused by someone.

Later, rumors that Luo Chen was in a coma confirmed this speculation.

In order to win, Luo Chen used some special Originium skills, and was seriously injured while destroying the Glory.

This is a common rumor.

There is no wall that is impenetrable, and Casimir's top management naturally heard the rumor.

Many people applauded this.

Luo Chen had shown himself to be a complete tyrant before the war. The people of the Supervisory Council were naturally unwilling to have a country led by such a person as their neighbor.

Now that he is dying, it is naturally a good thing.

But...why was he in Casimir now?

If it really is Luo Chen...he has the power to blow up a warship.

Such a human bomb in the Great Knight's territory...

Even if we take a step back and Luo Chen does not have this kind of strength, there must be other reasons for the explosion of the battleship.

But Ioleta, the internal guard of Ursus, knew about it. The fact that such a warlord could live peacefully until now without being assassinated by the internal guards...it itself means something.

Ioletta had to admit that at this moment, she panicked.

Mainna looked at Ioletta in front of her.

It was the first time he saw the other person's face stiff and eyes panicked.

I couldn't help but be extremely surprised. Could such a great knight actually panic?

"I need more evidence." Ioletta calmed herself down and continued.

"The members of the Reunion Movement call him 'City Lord'. He himself has no obvious racial characteristics, at least I haven't seen any."

"City Lord..." Ioletta chewed on the word.

Luo Chen did not have a clear position in the Terra Union, so many of his old colleagues continued to use the previous title.

City Lord.

That is the Lord of Kamsco.

Combined with the subsequent description...it is really very likely that this person is Luo Chen.

The question is - what is he here for?

"What else did he say to you?" Ioletta demanded.

"There are quite a few things, such as where they are going to attack... what they are going to do..." Maenna paused and did not continue.

“We each get what we need.”

“.......” Ioletta was silent.

She frowned, thinking.

“I need to start a meeting,” Ioletta said finally. “Please wait a moment.”

"News is time-sensitive," Mahenna replied, feeling his heart pounding.

Almost there. The thing he had been pursuing for five years...now there was a hint of it, how could he not be excited?

"I can't make the full decision on this matter." Ioletta stood up and took one last look at Maena. "I will do it as soon as possible."

Chapter 289 Compromise

Ioleta did not summon all the top members of the Supervisory Council.

Not all the ruling nobles had good brains. She couldn't bear the responsibility if she wasted precious time on their worthless debates.

She only called together a few key people.

However, even in this small meeting of no more than ten people, everyone expressed their own opinions and argued with each other.

Of course, the controversial points of the topic mainly focus on two aspects:

Is the person who appeared in the Great Knight's Territory Luo Chen?

If so, does he really have the ability to blow up land warships?

If the answer to both arguments is "yes", then everyone will stop arguing.

The military is an extension of politics, and politics, like all activities, is about strength.

If Luo Chen was really so terrible, no one would be willing to offend him.

As for the glory of Knight Casimir...

He talks about ideology, but thinks about business.

The only difference between some of these ruling nobles and the merchants of the Commercial Federation is that they have an additional title.

After all, although the two sides seem to be at loggerheads and have deep conflicts, Ioleta, the Grand Knight Commander, will also appear at the opening ceremony of the Knights' Competition and say a few words. He will even award the so-called "Champion Knight" with a medal after the competition ends.

This already explains some problems.

Some people think that Mainna is bluffing and his purpose is just to find clues about his brother and sister-in-law.

But the question is...if he was bluffing, then how did he know Luo Chen and so much other information?

There is no all-round Internet on Terra, so the exchange of information is not convenient.

People of different status can receive completely different information. For example, an ordinary company employee like Mainna can only access news in newspapers.

As for Casimir's newspaper, there weren't many credible things, especially those things Luo Chen had done, so Luo Chen's name hardly appeared in the newspaper.

Now Mayenna can say it...

why?

If Luo Chen really comes, will they still take action?

Not to mention the diplomatic consequences against Luo Chen, if Luo Chen is really that strong, the Grand Knights will be in trouble, and their lives may also be in danger.

Take a gamble? Do they dare to take the gamble?

Various solutions were put forward, but there was no way to continue the discussion.

They had no idea where Luo Chen was going to attack and to what extent.

If you want to know this, you have to accept Mainna's conditions.

"How about giving him some clues... and then asking him carefully?"

"You can't just talk about this."

"Humph, do you know how much effort it took to transfer them away?"

"Even if I tell him, what's the use? It may not necessarily make them come back!"

"We need to focus on the present..."

"That's enough!" Ioletta finally interrupted the argument. "Time waits for no one. Let's make a decision now."

"Give Maenna a clue, or don't give her a clue...Vote!"

The final result is out.

According to the voting results, most people believed that some clues should be revealed to Mainna in exchange for possible intelligence.

"In that case..." Ioletta sighed inwardly, knowing that there was no other way. She stood up and said, "I'll be back soon."

Ioletta came back quickly, but her face was very gloomy. It seemed that the news that Maina gave her was not good.

"Luo Chen is going to the headquarters building of the Federation of Commerce, rob the warehouse below, kill everyone inside, and then set it on fire. If necessary, he will directly blow up the entire building."

“…” The ruling nobles present looked at each other, their mouths wide open in shock.

This kind of plan...if it wasn't some idiot who came up with it on the spur of the moment, then it would really fit in with what Luo Chen had done before.

After all, according to previous information, when Luo Chen personally led his troops to capture the city of Ursus, he also looted the nobles' mansions and then dragged the nobles out and killed them.

The only difference is that the house was not destroyed. But considering that it was Ursus there and Casimir here, it is understandable.

Now those who originally thought that Luo Chen didn't come also began to waver.

With such abnormal behavior, it would be a bit strange to say that Luo Chen didn't come.

"When is he going to do it?"

"I don't know, but I guess it will be in these few days."

"How about...try a compromise?" someone whispered.

"How can we compromise this?"

"Luo Chen said he wanted to blow up the building, right? If you want to blow this thing down, the amount of explosives required is terrifying."

"If he really has the ability to blow up a battleship, then he can blow up a building even without explosives."

"So we will start to strictly check the ignition of explosive items from now on. If the building collapses on the day of the attack, it means that Luo Chen is really that terrible. I will do nothing."

"If the building doesn't collapse...we'll do it!"

"Then the Federation of Commerce will be completely destroyed. We will catch the terrorists and kill them as a warning to others. Then I think we can..."

This last situation made many people excited.

Although the ruling nobles have connections with the business unions, they are happy to see the directors of these business unions die.

After they die, the power vacuum in the Federation will be left for the Supervisory Council to step in. This is good news for all the ruling nobles present.

And with the reputation of "eliminating terrorists", they can gain more power.

Ioletta’s face was expressionless.

Although she is a former knight in battle, she has been in politics for a long time.

The nature of politics is dirty, and idealists cannot survive here. Either they die or they are assimilated.

Is it funny? Yes, it is funny, but it is reality.

Unless...something changes, it will be extremely difficult to change the current situation.

Not only Ioletta, but most of the nobles in this land have an old problem -

They like to put personal interests above national interests.

In other words, it is not personal interests, but... class interests.

If they really put class interests in the national interest and regarded it as a part of it, then they would never madly exploit the people for the sake of gaining benefits, or even create a huge slum outside the city.

Because this is harmful rather than beneficial to the country.

But they did it anyway. And now they are ready to go a step further.

In a sense, their class consciousness is very high, even stronger than that of some Terra Union officials.

"This plan is good, shall we confirm it?"

"Who will do it?"

"I will select a team of knights to carry out this operation." Ioletta said.

"I will control the media and make them shut up."

"I'll contact the Business Federation. Don't worry. They will never know about this."

"I'll do it..."
