Chapter 63: After the Fact

The Count was already dying, and his white clothes were even more miserable, and there was a bloody hole in his neck, but he was not dead.

The two people were carried to the Duke's Palace, and the Duke's expression was cold when he saw these two people become like this.

For the first time, the commoner Freemasons felt the anger that belonged to a duke of a country.

The cold-faced Duke walked back and forth, and in front of him stood the leader of the Ninth Alliance, the president and vice-president of the Commoner Freemasonry, and the captain of the Holy Knight Guard.

The four top-level masters, standing side by side, all felt the duke's anger, and this anger was about to explode several times, but the duke finally held back.

After a long time, the duke calmed down, and he said slowly, "The two negotiators who inherited the future of the Ninth Duchy and the future of the Dasheng Dynasty were assassinated in the street!

The city lord of the main city was the first to stand up from the crowd, and he began to admit his mistake, "It's the lower officials who didn't think it well and didn't protect the two adults!"

"What about you!" the Duke's expression turned, looking at the leader of the Ninth Alliance, the captain of the Holy Knight Guard, these two men.

"If it weren't for the civilian Freemasons who arrived in time, I'm afraid there would be two corpses in front of us, how would you let me explain to the United Duchy, how would I explain to the United Court!" the Duke was furious, and there was the captain of the Holy Knight Guard, and no one talked about the independence of the Ninth Duchy.

And today's thing is to act for the United Duchy to see, and naturally the captain of the Holy Knight Guard is not excluded.

The Duke walked up to the captain of the Holy Knight Guard and said, "I don't care who the man who escaped, where he ran away, I give you three days, whether you live or die, you must catch me!"

At the end of the meeting, the Count and the White Cloth, who were lying on the ground, were quickly rescued by the magician.

The other was a dead elf, and the healing mage shook his head and said, "It's gone!"

Although he knew that this matter might be related to the elves, the Duke still decided to meet with the elves and decide on the location of the next negotiation.

"Carry this man and go with me to the elven territory!" the duke left the mansion overnight.

Originally, the captain of the Holy Knight Guard had to follow, but he was stopped by the duke, who said in a serious tone, "You command these people, before I come back, you must take down that person, if you let him run, there is no proof of death, and no one will admit it!"

For the first time, he couldn't protect the duke, so the captain of the Holy Knight Guard, his face was slightly red, and he was relieved when he saw that the duke had the leader of the Ninth Alliance Army by his side.

In the French of the United Duchy, when the Duke goes out, the captain of the guard can be transferred by the leader of the Union and the Duke at the same time, provided that he is escorted by the leader of the Union Army.

On the premise of not violating the rules of the Knight Guard, the Captain of the Holy Knight Guard is the one who can absolutely use it.

The Duke knew this very well, and he ordered the Lord of the Main City and the Captain of the Holy Knight Guard to jointly sign and report to the United Duchy, and in the name of the Duke, he asked the two major alliance armies to guard the border!

The purpose of this is to protect himself from being killed by the elves.

The duke is still very afraid of death, and he will go to negotiate in person, and he must not be reckless.

The duke who left the Duke's Palace was accompanied by the leader of the Ninth Duchy Alliance, and the rest of the personnel remained in the Duke's Palace.

The hundred-man squad of the Ninth Duchy Alliance Army, guarding the safety of the duke, marched all the way to the elven territory.

In the Duke's Mansion of the Ninth Duchy, on the table in the duke's office, the lord of the main city and the captain of the Holy Knight Guard took out the duke's seal and pressed it into a red groove on the table.

The red groove is an emergency communication device, and the other eight principalities do not have this thing.

Only the Ninth Duchy has it, and once this thing is activated, the Dasheng Dynasty, the Holy Knight Alliance Army, and the nine major alliance armies, must be armed for war within half an hour.

In the distance, the eight United Duchies, the eight leaders of the Holy Knight Alliance Army, immediately appeared in the barracks, and the two alliance armies closest to the Ninth Duchy immediately drove to the elven territory.

When the army was on the way, the leaders of the two alliance armies began to report to the generalissimo of the Holy Knight Alliance.

The red emergency communication device awakens the Generalissimo of the United Duchy, who is responsible for receiving the communication.

The Grand Duke of the United Duchy must already know that what he is concerned about now is that the eight major alliance armies have dispatched a few, and what happened to the Ninth Duchy.

The Generalissimo was woken up and stood in his office, in front of him nine Divine Knights.

The red magic array on the desktop had already been opened, and the magic array water mirror showed the city lord of the first main city of the Ninth Duchy, the captain of the Holy Knight Guard. There were also a few people who were supposed to be the guards of the Duke's Palace.

The Generalissimo asked, "What happened to the Ninth Duchy? Isn't there negotiations with the Elves?"

The captain of the Holy Knight Guard and the city lord of the first main city glanced at each other, the two of them had the same positions, and the captain of the Holy Knight Guard took a half step back and decided to let the lord of the main city narrate, after all, he was the first person in charge.

"Generalissimo, here's how it ......"

After the report of the main city lord, the generalissimo said to the other water mirror at the same time, "Where have you two been? Well, after you arrive, temporarily obey the orders of the Duke of the Ninth Duchy, and I will send someone over immediately!"

The Holy Knight next to the Generalissimo is the Subsidiary Marshal.

One was sent to the Ninth Duchy on the spot, after all, the Duke of the Ninth Duchy could not command the two major alliance armies that were going.

The Dasheng Dynasty united with the Grand Duke's Palace, and the two teams of personnel sat on both sides of the round table in the conference hall.

Above the main seat was empty, which was the position of the Grand Duke, and above the deputy seat, was the Generalissimo with a serious face. On the other side seat is the Justices of the United Principality United Court.

Next in that order are the Interior Officers of the United Principality, the Chief Administrator of the United Principality, and the War Readiness Officer of the United Principality. Treasurer of the United Duchy. It's all about the war.

The Grand Duke was late, he sat down on the main seat, everyone stood up and saluted, the soldiers saluted, and the dignitaries watched.

After taking his seat, the Generalissimo began to report on the progress of the matter, and explained that, without the permission of the Grand Duke, the wartime reserve guidelines had been activated, and that the two major coalition armies had been mobilized, their specific positions, and the situation.

Next, all the officials attending the meeting began to report, stockpiling supplies, pre-war mobilization, financial priority, and even criminals, replacing prison with war.

After all the reports were completed, the Grand Duke spoke, "After hearing about this matter, the Duke was very angry, and the joint justice, the negotiator, actually assassinated someone on the street, can you tell me your opinion?"

The main event finally came, the generalissimo glanced at the joint justice, motioned for him to speak first, and the joint justice spoke, "According to the information we have, there are people in the United Principality who have been stirring up the relationship between the Ninth Duchy and the elves for a long time, and every time there is a war, they are manipulated! As for what happened today, it can be expected that some people will not see the prosperity of the United Principality!"

The co-justices' speeches made the participants discuss, and everyone knew that the people attending the meeting today were all seriously suspicious, and the co-justices did not specifically point to whom, but they could clearly know that everyone among them would probably not have a good time next.

The Interior Officer spoke first, and began to deliberately point to the Noble Alliance, "Every time there is a war, the richest thing is the Noble Alliance, oh yes, there is also the Wizards Association!"

The treasurer also nodded in agreement with a serious face, and the rest of the staff did not have much meaningful speech.

It was the turn of the Generalissimo of the United Duchy, and he spoke, "The Duke of the Ninth Duchy has now gone to the elven territory and is ready to negotiate with them in person. In other cases, it's not easy to say!

As for the perpetrator of the injury to the negotiator, one escaped, his identity is unknown, and some say that he is a holy knight, and I will not defend this.

The other is the elven clan, what does this mean, it shows that within the elf clan, I'm afraid it's not very united!

Suppose that on our side, someone colludes with the elves and provokes a war to achieve their own goals, and we don't think about what his purpose is, let me first see who this person may be?

I estimate that the most likely thing is not the League of Nobles, nor the Wizards' Association, although they give out some war money, but how much to send and how much to give, it is up to us to decide!

I think you should start here!

And one more thing, it's what worries me the most!"

When the generalissimo said this, it was tantamount to doubting all the people present, and no one cared about what he was most worried about.

Everyone looked at the generalissimo with unkind faces, and the interior officer even tried to interrupt him several times, but was stopped by the archduke's eyes.

The Grand Duke finally spoke, "Are you suspicious of someone here?"

The Generalissimo smiled and continued, "I didn't mean that, I just analyzed the facts, and what worries me the most is that we won't find out who that person is!"

The co-justice looked puzzled, "What's wrong with not being able to find out the other party? As long as we keep investigating, the truth will be revealed one day!"

The generalissimo's expression changed slightly, "If it has not been found, it can only mean that he is not the main official of our United Principality, and it is difficult to say what purpose they have!"

Co-Justice, how long have you been looking and what have you found?

Which of us are here! I hope you can answer this question!"

Faced with the generalissimo's questioning, the Grand Duke nodded to the co-justices, and the co-justices said slowly, "The joint court, everyone here has checked, what makes me feel terrible is that everyone is suspicious, but there is no evidence!"

The words of the co-justice made the participants whisper, uncertain, but they were all suspicious, which was equivalent to saying nothing.

The Grand Duke, seeing the Generalissimo's serious expression, asked, "What do you think, let's hear it!"

The Grand Duke spoke, making the conference hall quiet for a short time, and the Generalissimo thought twice and decided to speak cautiously, "If it wasn't for the people of our United Duchy to provoke, could it be, could it be that!"

The Grand Duke looked puzzled, "Which one?"

The Generalissimo's expression changed slightly, and he decided to say clearly, "Do you remember the reason why the Magic Continent is falling apart?"

"Huh, you mean?" said the Grand Duke, startled.

Legends, although there are only legends, but they can be remembered by everyone.

The official history was specially made up after the establishment of the United Principality for the sake of the stability of the Principality.

And the wild history, although more accurate, is still not very true.

"Adjournment, the Generalissimo and the Co-Chancellor remain!" said the Grand Duke.

Only the Generalissimo, the Co-Chancellor and the Grand Duke remained in the chamber.

"The real history has been dusted, and not many people know it! I'm afraid that in the entire United Principality, there are only three of us!

The Temple, the Wizards' Association, and the Holy Knight Alliance Army suffered heavy losses before they drove each other out!

In order to make people forget the cruelty of the war, the Sacred Seven of that year assumed the hope of the whole continent, and all seven people were publicly removed from the mainland, secretly, but in order to go to the place where the other party was, hoping to solve this trouble forever.

After so many years, none of the seven of them came back!"

After the Grand Duke finished speaking, he lay down on the seat, "Is there any abnormality in the South China Sea and the East China Sea?"

The generalissimo looked embarrassed, "At the moment, no one is paying attention there......!

The Grand Duke's expression was serious, "You two listen, if it's really the other party coming, then you can't fight anymore, notify the Academy of Magic! Let them closely monitor the surface of the East China Sea!"

All armies, enter the special combat readiness!

If you talk about it, you can talk about it, and if you can't talk about it, you will fight!"

The generalissimo's expression was clear, and the meaning of the grand duke was obvious, the other party wanted to split the continent, and we must be strong before them and unify the continent.

The elven clan, if you invest all the combat power of the United Principality, it will take less than a month!

"So, am I still investigating these officials?" asked the Co-Chancellor.

The Grand Duke was silent for a long time, and then said, "Check, but it's a public check!"

The focus is not on them, but secretly on the people around them. The remnants left behind back then, now after so many years, it is impossible to penetrate into our upper echelons.

We have a way to eliminate them, and there can't be any of them at the top!

In addition, summon the Dean of the Magic Academy, the Chief Magical Nun of the Templar Magical Order, and the President of the Wizards' Guild. ”

"Don't you need to see the Pope?" said the Generalissimo strangely.

"The real combat power of the Temple, I'm afraid the Pope can't mobilize it!" said the Grand Duke.

Elven territory, in front of Elven Mountain, the three Holy Knight Alliance Army, standing in front of Holy Spirit Mountain.

The team numbered in the millions, and there was no edge in sight, and the elven people on the opposite side.

But there are few of them, they are scarce, but they can't weaken their momentum, and everyone holds their heads high.

The patriarch of the elven clan personally came to the elven mountain.

Her expression was cold, the other party dispatched the three major alliance armies, I am afraid it was a vicious battle, but since the arrival of late night, until now, there has been no attack.

Behind the Elven Mountain, a large number of traps were laid overnight, I don't know how long it can be blocked, is the scope of the realm going back again?

Isn't there a negotiation, how could it be like this!

The Duke of the Ninth Duchy, in front of the Elven Mountain, in front of the Elven Mountain was a plain, and in front of all the knights, a table was set up in front of him, where he tasted red wine.

In the distance, the elven clan elder said to the patriarch, "He said he wanted to negotiate!"

"Isn't that talking? What does he mean by bringing the army over?" asked the patriarch.

The elder was also puzzled for a while, and it was difficult to answer, so he had to accompany the patriarch forward.

The three leaders of the Alliance Army, plus a deputy marshal, stared closely at the few elven people who were walking this way.
