"Is the message accurate?" asked McGonagall Tano again as the other two were stunned.

After hesitating for two seconds, Fimet replied very seriously: "It happened that half an hour ago, someone saw the elf take Councilor Woz... In another half an hour, the whole city will be talking about it, and if you're willing to go to Lion's Castle and ask, maybe the elves have a better explanation. ”

Nepdo Quint frowned, he didn't take the news as a joke, and after glancing at Stu Garra, he pointed at Fimet and said, "I need detailed information, the sooner the better!"

"Yes, sir. The butler Fimet bowed and retreated into the hallway.

McGonagall Tano immediately closed the door against the door, and walked into the center of the study again.

Stu Garra's forehead showed a fine line of cold sweat under the light, and he wiped the cold sweat with his sleeve and said, "How can this be? But even if it's true, the elves can't just arrest our government consuls without even saying hello!"

"The elves have long regarded the Suk Plains as their domain. Nepdo Quint calmed down a lot at this point, "The arrest of Woz Pedro is no small matter... I just don't know, what role did our Archon play in this matter?"

The tone of the two speaks with a hint of fear.

After all, Woz Pedro is no ordinary man, and his position in the City Council is comparable to that of Penny Reagan.

Nepdo Quint and Stu Gara were able to roughly guess what Malek would do next, but they didn't guess that the other party would actually do it directly to Woz Pedro!

They didn't even expect that the elves would be so direct in arresting Woz Pedro.

Straight to the point where Nepdo Quint and Stu Garra feel that Woz Pedro is in the eyes of the elves what they see as civilians in the outer city.

Such a feeling scares them... Even fear, because it means that the elves can go to jail at any time if they want to.

"It's useless to think about it so much now. McGonagall Tano's remaining hand rubbed the clothes around her waist inadequately, "The arrest of Woz Pedro is not a trivial matter, with the power of the elves in Suke City, it is simply not enough to deal with the chaos that follows... I propose to impose martial law on the city immediately. ”

Stu Gara subconsciously asked, "You want to use our garrison?"

"We must take the initiative!"

"The use of the garrison requires the authorization of the Council!" Nepdo-Quint shook his head with a bitter face.

"You can use the emergency regulations of war as an excuse to take over everything in the garrison, but you don't send troops out of the city. "No one notices you now, and by the time they do, we'll have a hundred reasons to explain." ”

"That's it!" Stu Garra looked at him with a hint of hideousness.

"That..."

"Tuk Tuk"

There was an abrupt knock on the door, causing the three people in the conversation to look at each other.

McGonagall Tano walked to the door at great speed, opening the door through a gap, and the voice of the young squire of Neptor Quint outside the door came through the gap, "My lord, Penny's messenger from the Archon has summoned you to the Consulate now. ”

The three men in the room looked at each other with a smile on their faces, and Stu Garra and McGonagall Tano silently shook their heads at Nepdo Quint. Then, in a slightly drunken voice, Stu Garra shouted, "Messenger of the Archon, just say that Lord Nepdo is resting in the garrison camp tonight!"

"Well... Good. The young servant's voice was a little hesitant, but he didn't ask any questions.

As soon as he left, McGonault closed the door.

"The situation out there is uncertain," Stu Garra looked at Nepdo Quint, "we don't know Lady Penny's attitude right now, and we don't know what the elves are planning to do... You should now go to the garrison barracks and take this army into our own hands!"

"But remember, we can't use this power until we have to. McGonagall Tano had a very serious expression on her face, "We are in the council, and in the coming period, whether it is the city council or the ruling building, you must not step out of the barracks!"

"I know what to do!" "Nepdo-Quint walked over to the weapon rack and grabbed a short sword in his hand, "I'm leaving through the back door... You guys... Be careful yourself. ”

"Don't worry, we're not going to be that easy. Stu Gara smiled reluctantly.

McGonagall Tano continued his advice: "But... If Lady Penny has other orders coming in, you'd better cooperate with her... And the matter of the guards, if Malek ..."

Nepdo Quint rushed to say: "If Malek is really serious about handling the case, I will consider cooperating with him." ”

...

Just after the night of May 18, the elves took Woz Pedro from the dining hall of the official residence of Woz Pedro and imprisoned him in the barracks of the elves' assistant troops in Suker City.

The elves are not secrets about Woz Pedro's arrest,

So soon, the news spread throughout the city, causing an uproar in the upper echelons of the city's ruling hierarchy.

Under the dark night sky, outside the gate of the Lion Castle, which was originally quiet, suddenly became lively, and luxurious carriages lined up to crowd into the Lion Castle.

Outside the elven residence next to the Prime Minister's residence, the silence was also broken by the sudden crowd of visitors, and the salutes of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and representatives from all walks of life in Suker City filled the table of the reception room in the residence building within half an hour.

Brian, the supreme commander of the elves stationed in Suke City, she was born in the upper elves and has great authority within the elven kingdom, and is a staunch supporter of the first general of the elven kingdom, Thrandil, who fought at the forefront of the previous opposition to the rule of the council, and participated in the specific affairs of sealing the members of the elven council.

She is a pragmatic and very decisive commander, and when the main elven force shrank into the Naren Forest some time ago, it was precisely because of her series of decisive measures that the chaos in the Suke Plain did not spread to the big cities.

But Brian is not only a thunderbolt, she was entrusted with the affairs of the Suk Plains by Thranduil because of her research on the human empire and the aristocratic ruling class.

Brian was born at the time of the Great War of the Three Clans, which allowed her to focus on the process of the rise of empires from a very young age, the original ruling structure of empires, and the study of why humans were able to create such a glorious civilization in such a short period of time.

Moreover, part of the reason why Thranduil rebelled against the 100,000-year-old rule of the council was because of Brian's persuasion, and Brian himself spared no effort to change the elven kingdom was also influenced by human culture.

Brianne knows how to deal with the human ruling class, which she has always studied. Therefore, for the worship of the nobles in the city, Brian did not use the advice of the deputy and directly ignored it.

She met with them overnight, but she did not give any explanation for the arrest of Woz Pedro. Malek was pushed out by her and was in charge of explaining the process of the case!

A small means,

The seemingly irreconcilable contradiction was easily resolved by her.

However, she didn't completely abandon Malek, in the expressions of the nobles as if they were about to eat people, she said: "Director Malek did not violate the rules, the evidence he provided has been confirmed to be valid, and Woz Pedro is indeed suspected of colluding with some necromancers of the Undead Legion... If you have doubts, I can even make the investigation file public. ”

Two o'clock in the morning,

The city council held a briefing meeting overnight in the Eunice Hall to announce the progress of the investigation into the case of Woz Pedro to all councillors. The Security Service has investigated everything about Woz Pedro in the last three years, so detailed that even who he meets with every day is recorded.

Although the evidence presented by Malek is not enough to prove that Woz Pedro is the overlord behind the organization of the evil sacrifice in the city, some of the things Woz Pedro has done in the past three years are really dishonorable, and the councilors who are going to speak for him in the disgraceful past have subconsciously shut their mouths.

Brian concluded the meeting by saying, "I warned you not to take the arrival of the Legion of the Undead as a joke, they can destroy everything, destroy the fact that we existed... Woz Pedro may not have wanted to destroy everything, he may just want to increase his political leverage in parliament, but he shouldn't do it that way... Again, I repeat, we will not be soft on anyone who makes evil sacrifices... At the slightest indication that I would not hesitate to give the order to arrest him. ”

Brian's words sent chills down the backs of all the councilors, including Penny Reagan, and they subconsciously recalled whether they had believed in evil gods in the past, or had similar sacrifices.

"Don't overcomplicate this matter, although we elves are very powerful, we will not exercise power like you. Brian looked around, "I have good news here... The undead Legion's forces on the Sukh Plain have been repulsed by the combined forces of Fred's Leader and Fort Norma, and in five days' time, you may receive their good news!"

"This is indeed good news, and I am sure the citizens are more than happy to hear it. Penny Reagan forced herself not to think about the topic, "I suggest that this be disclosed to the citizens after dawn!"

"It's your own business. Brian stood up and nodded to Penny Reagan, "I need to go back and take care of something." ”

...

On the morning of May 19th,

The three decrees issued by Suker City in the name of the city council were posted on bulletin boards in various parts of the city, and when the judges at the bottom explained the three decrees, they drew heartfelt cheers from the citizens.

Subsequently, announcements of the defeat of the Undead Legion were announced.

Even more intense cheers spread throughout the city, washing away the gloom that Woz Pedro had brought with him after his arrest.

They have reason to cheer.

In the past year, due to the collapse of the empire and the disappearance of the aristocracy, the contradictions caused by the gap between the rich and the poor in the city have exploded in an instant, and countless originally happy families have been torn apart by increasingly serious urban crime.

The citizens are desperate for the rulers to make changes every day, but in exchange for disappointment, and now, suddenly... They find that their longing and desire have come true!

Perhaps because of these three decrees, the citizens have a certain amount of sarcasm and ridicule at the arrest of the government's consul, Woz Pedro.

The security service has not disclosed the reasons for Woz Pedro's arrest, and the city council will not bother to explain it.

Citizens have used their imagination to their part, and based on the contents of the three decrees that have just been issued, it is natural for them to believe that Woz Pedro is the culprit who has led to the increase in crime in the city over the past year.

Soon, the word spread to every corner of Suk City.

Malek, who was busy assigning tasks to the agents in the office of the headquarters of the Security Service, couldn't help but sigh when he heard his assistant report on the matter: "Woz Pedro is finished, even if he is acquitted now, there is no chance of returning to power." ”

After sighing at this sentence, Malek thought that the other party was arrested because of him, and he was unconsciously and a little proud. However, his pride was soon subdued by the rigor he had cultivated for decades.

Today, all the regular agents of the Security Service are recalled to the Headquarters and assigned by the Chief of the Security Service himself. It was a mission against the case of Woz Pedro, the arrest of Woz Pedro last night was just an appetizer and the real big move had just begun.

On Malek's desk, there are more than 100 follow-up investigations into the Woz-Pedro case, and the number of subsequent arrests is nearly 200... There are real and false in the arrest of more than 200 people, after all, now that the case of Woz Pedro is in the way, even if some dangerous people are really arrested, it will not disturb the real mastermind.

Malek spent the whole morning in his office, and after one assignment he went straight to lunch, and his assistant Bello took advantage of lunch to ask the question that had been held up for a morning, "My lord, we have used almost all the strength of the guard department this time. ”

"Yes!" Malek replied casually.

"But—" Bello said with a slight hesitation and slurred, "Your Excellency... If... What if we're wrong? What should we do if something happens that we don't expect?"

"Aren't there elves? and the garrison of Nepdo-Quint. Malek stared at his assistant with squinted eyes, "How... Are you suspicious of our operation?"

"My lord, as a full-fledged agent, I have the right to doubt everything. Bello gritted his teeth and met Malek's gaze, "We shouldn't be crushing all our forces in one place, and... I think there are a lot of doubts about the case of Woz Pedro. ”
