"I will follow your Excellency's arrangements." The emperor showed a strange smile, "You Dukes are truly the empire's loyal ministers. With you here, I can follow the example of Emperor Shang Xuan of Great Yan and live in peace."
"Your Majesty, you are joking." Duke Masefield said respectfully, "Once the Sixth Army arrives, Your Majesty will need to personally write a letter of inquiry to the Supreme Military Court of Duke Baikal."
"As it should be."
The meeting ended, and the Duke of Masefield left with His Majesty the Emperor, while Carolingian and others also left.
Duke Faroun hurried back to his mansion, immediately summoned his trusted aides, and told them everything that had happened in the royal meeting.
The staff member pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you think Duke Baikal has no motive to cooperate with Kazdel?"
Farron nodded and said, "We are all familiar with Duke Baikal, so I would like to hear your opinion?"
"I also think that Duke Baikal would not do that. Although he likes money, he is definitely not someone who would not care about the importance of profit."
"If he is truly innocent, is it possible for us to help him? The value of this favor is not low."
"Impossible, Your Excellency, the matter is a foregone conclusion."
"Absolutely no way?"
"It's difficult, sir. If Duke Baikal wants to prove his innocence, the best way is for him to accept the summons of the Emperor's military court and come to the Saint Steed Castle alone to defend himself. Do you think he will do that?"
"Impossible. With the methods of that old fox Macefield, there are a hundred ways to deal with Baikal who came alone. Even if he is innocent, he will end up being convicted of a crime in the end."
"It seems that the Duke has already guessed that the result of Baikal's coming is that he will be manipulated by others, which will lead to his guilt. The result of not coming is that he will violate the order of His Majesty, which will also make him guilty. Duke Masefield does not care whether the situation is true or false, and does not care about the loopholes and doubts in Carolingian's intelligence. His purpose has been very simple from beginning to end. He wants to take this opportunity to swallow Duke Baikal."
Farron said thoughtfully, "It's inevitable. Baikal has the Third Army and countless mineral resources. A year ago, he annexed the wealthy Duke Boris. It's normal for that old fox to have his eyes on him."
"My Lord Duke, if you really want to help Duke Baikal out of old friendship, there are some ways to do it, but it will most likely anger Lord Masefield."
"Old love?" Duke Farron looked back at his staff in surprise, then sneered, "What makes you think there is an old love between us?"
"Well, I thought you and Duke Baikal had always been on good terms."
"It's just a show. Now that I can get a piece of the pie, why not? I prefer a little less Duke of this empire."
“The less, the better!”
Chapter 2023: The Cornerstone of Kazdel12-27-12 00:02:
Kazdale.
In the royal palace.
A Victorian gentleman in a black tuxedo and a grey top hat came up to Tracys.
The Regent put down the file in his hand and said slowly: "Vitoria's guest, this is the first time you have come to me on your own initiative."
The gentleman in the grey hat bowed and said, "Lord Cavendish has seen the situation in Ursus and praised your promise as being worth more than a thousand gold. Currently, preparations are being made in Londinium, and we are waiting for the next move of the Military Committee at any time."
"Please continue to wait, Duke Cavendish. Now is not the time to be impatient."
"Lord Cavendish thinks the opportunity for chaos is rare."
"No, wait a minute, the chaos is not enough, not even close to enough."
"Could it be that you..."
"Please tell Lord Cavendish that his scouts will be able to bring back more interesting news soon."
"You are a man who brings miracles." The gentleman in the gray hat said sincerely, "On behalf of Lord Cavendish, I salute you. We will look forward to hearing from you."
The gentleman in the gray hat saluted respectfully and then stepped back.
Tracy stayed alone in the hall, looking at the battle map. His eyes moved back and forth, finally locking onto the dragon gate.
A calm whisper echoed in the hall: "Garson, please don't let me down. If Yan Nation is missing from this game, it will lose a lot of its flavor."
……
The city of Chernobyl.
Deep in the core city.
Garson is commanding his warlocks to destroy the control tower's external defense system.
He looked up at the sun that was about to rise to the zenith and asked in a deep voice, "How long will it take?"
"Chief, it will be done soon, but we have to be careful, we will definitely encounter the works of high-level spellcasters inside."
"I understand. Also, how is the matter with the control tower key going?"
"The warlock team used the Originium Art Array to remotely destroy Kerke's key. The only key is now in our hands."
"Does Kirk know?"
"Unless he can understand the principles of the Sarkaz Originium technique, he will be kept in the dark."
"very good."
"Chief, there is one thing I don't understand."
"Just ask."
“Can guiding Chernobog to crash into the dragon gate really allow Kazdel to revive again?”
"Don't you believe His Highness Teresis?"
"Of course I believe it, I just can't figure out the reason. After all, a collision between moving cities would definitely kill many people."
"Think about how many people we've killed. You're just like me. Massacres don't stir up any waves in your heart any more."
"I know. I've always felt that the blood on our Sarkaz hands can never be washed clean."
“Why bother to cleanse ourselves? As His Royal Highness the Regent said, we are bearing the sins for Kazdel’s future, but we are also the cornerstone of the future.”
"One day, the injustice suffered by the Sarkaz people will end, and the thousand-year wandering of the Sarkaz people will end. We will return to dust and enjoy the tranquility after death, and Kazdel will be reborn in the blood rain we set off."
Garson's quoted words once again caused the Sarkaz's eyes to glow with a fanatical red light.
The hoarse voices rang out together, like an ancient call, echoing in the steel structure of the control tower:
“Kazdel will be reborn.”
“Kazdel will be reborn.”
“Kazdel will be reborn!”
……
at the same time.
Central part of the core city.
Inès extended her right hand and patted Hedley's shoulder.
Hedley thought that the enemy had reappeared again, and asked vigilantly: "What's going on?"
"Look over there."
Following Inès's direction, Hedley discovered that about 200 meters ahead, there was a gray ruin left by a battle. The people who had just fought were resting and replenishing supplies in the ruins.
"That person is... Hey, it's W."
"It's W. Did you find the problem?"
"what is the problem?"
"Why are you so stupid? Look again."
"She's following. Um, it's Miss White Wolf who was in charge of the medical department before. I haven't seen her for a long time. W is following Miss White Wolf. There are some other people nearby. They should be the Rhodes Island personnel that the leader has specially emphasized."
"Why can't you grasp the point?" Inès became impatient.
"Isn't that the point I'm talking about?" Hedley asked innocently.
"Hey, forget it. Take a good look. Miss White Wolf is directing W. Can you direct W?"
"I definitely can't command him." Hedley blurted out, and then he was shocked, "Ah? When did W become so obedient? Did we recognize the wrong person?"
"I can't believe it either, but it must be W."
"Interesting, shall we go over and say hello?"
"Wait, there's another person showing up, from the Carter tribe, he doesn't look very old."
Inès suddenly froze.
Hedley was also stunned.
"Hedley, she can't be..."
"Yes, it's Amiya. I didn't expect you to be so tall."
"How big of a heart does Kal'tsit have to send her right in?!"
"I don't know. Since we've met, let's go over and take a look. I guess W would be interested in Garson's mission. The King Slayer happened to be injured, so letting W join in would give us more confidence."
"Tsk, actually I'm enough on my own."
"Speak less later and don't argue with W, or others will laugh at you."
"You think I don't understand?"
……
On the other side, Miss White Wolf helped Amiya sit down on a gray stone slab. The latter's face was pale and she looked shaky.
Amiya held on tightly, "Ms. White Wolf, it's okay. I'm fine."
Miss White Wolf shook her head helplessly: "In your current state, it's not convincing at all to say such things."
"That's right." Miss Yaye said distressedly, "Amiya, you were injured too badly before. Originium skills are not omnipotent. It just barely healed the external injuries. If it weren't for Miss White Wolf, you would definitely be left behind with Meteorite."
"No, I can't. I promised the teacher that I must see the doctor."
"What if you collapse when you see the doctor?"
"It's okay, Yaye, don't worry about me, I can hold on."
"Well, if you ask me, if you can contact the teacher, she will definitely let you go back as soon as possible."
Amiya smiled secretly. For her, not being able to contact Kal'tsit was originally a troublesome thing, but now it has turned into a good thing.
Her gaze shifted, and she suddenly noticed two people approaching from a distance, and she immediately became nervous:
"Everyone be alert, someone is approaching us from the southeast."
"Don't worry." Miss W suddenly said, "I know those two people."
"A friend of Miss W's?"
"It's hard to say, Amiya. You'll understand when you see them. You know them."
Chapter 2023 Those who stayed behind 12-28-12 00:06:
Seeing the two old companions getting closer and closer, Miss W felt a surge of restlessness inside and couldn't wait to make some sarcastic remarks to Inès.
She seemed to have a strange disease that made her feel uncomfortable unless she quarreled with Inès.
However, Miss White Wolf was right next to them, and she couldn't let her see them quarreling, so with this in mind, she forced herself to suppress her nature.
Ines, who was walking over, had already noticed that W had a bad look on his face, and subconsciously prepared herself to deal with verbal attacks, but the reality once again frightened her.
Miss W actually didn't have a foul mouth. Not only that, she even helped the two parties to make a brief introduction in a serious manner.
This W is definitely not normal, Inès thought secretly. She turned her head to look at Hedley, hoping to recognize the same emotion as her own on his face, but she was greatly disappointed. Instead, Hedley looked relieved.
When old acquaintances meet, there is naturally some greetings. Only then did Miss White Wolf know the secret past of W and others and the Tower of Babel.
Many years ago, Hedley, Inès, and W formed a Sarkaz mercenary team. Like other mercenary teams, they traveled far and wide to accept various commissions.
Every mercenary group has several "old customers" who take on missions. The old customer of Hedley and others is Babel Tower. It was also at that time that they met Theresa, Kal'tsit, Amiya and others.
Later, as the Kazdel Civil War was on the verge of breaking out, Babel, as a supporter of Theresa, was bound to participate in the war and become an enemy of Theresa.
Hedley and Inès were unwilling to participate in the civil war, so they left with the mercenary group early. Only Miss W stayed for some reason and became a member of the Tower of Babel.
It is easy to guess what happens next. The civil war suddenly ends, Theresa dies, the Tower of Babel disappears, and Miss W goes around in circles, and finally meets Hedley and others again.
Due to the tense situation of the war, everyone actually had little time to chat and soon shifted the topic to the war situation.
Miss White Wolf thought about the battle plan she heard from Mephisto and asked, "Hedley, I remember the leader arranged for you to clear out the enemy mercenaries in the central city. Have you completed it yet?"
