Chapter 140: Lien's Combination (Part II)
1204 calendar, December 14. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
A wave of big news swept through the empire at an astonishing speed, and all newspapers, magazines, and radio stations rushed to release special issues except for the media companies under the control of the League of Nobles.
The special issue contained only a thin sheet of paper, without any commentary attached to it, on which a statement, the latest one from the Reich's Führer, Yukent III, was published.
In the statement, Yukent III exposed Kane's identity as a "descendant of the puppet emperor" as the emperor and the head of the Arnor family, and denounced Kane's various crimes after he occupied the imperial capital.
Lawlessness, rebellion, seizure of the imperial palace, expulsion of the imperial family, issuing decrees in the name of the emperor, dismissing government officials without authorization, etc.
Each of these cases carries a sentence of life imprisonment at the least, or a major crime involving the family by direct beheading.
After listing these crimes, Yukent III apologized to the people of the whole country, because he did not know people and was deceived by suspicious people, so that the empire was in civil strife, and the people were in dire straits.
Now, he has come to his senses, and he hopes that the subjects of the empire will also wake up and stop aiding and abetting abuse.
In the name of the supreme head of the empire, in the name of Arnor, he will promise that only the first evil will be punished, and the rest of the people will not be blamed as long as they wake up in time and draw a clear line with the thieves.
At the end of the statement, Yukent III issued a call to the whole country, whether it was a regular army or a confederate army, whether it was a commoner or a nobleman, please fulfill the duties of a soldier and a citizen of the empire, defend the country, drive out the thieves, and return the empire to a prosperous future.
As soon as the statement came out, the whole country was in an uproar.
From the ministers and nobles to the peddlers and pawns, everyone is talking about this matter.
The puppet emperor Otellus, an existence that has been thoroughly demonized in the imperial culture, such an ultimate villain, the Great Demon King, has even left a descendant! What's even more exaggerated is that this descendant turned out to be the head of the "Four Famous Families", the head of the Kane family, and also imitated his ancestors, causing the empire to fall into turmoil again!
How is this possible?
Probably, because this statement was made by the greatest ancestor of the Empire, a direct descendant of the Drakeles Great who crusaded against the "Puppet Emperor", and the current supreme head of the Empire, and in the name of the Emperor, in the name of Arnoor, who has been passed down for thousands of years, and this is enough.
Even if there is no substantial evidence, no matter how absurd things are, most of the people of the empire still choose to believe His Majesty, this is the credibility of the Arnor family, who has ruled this "Black Land" for a thousand years, and it is also the confidence of Li En to dare to reveal Kane's true identity.
The wind direction shifted overnight. Originally, the "League of Nobles" and the regular army had their own opinions, and the situation of the dispute instantly fell to the side of the regular army.
The regular army that occupies the "great righteousness" is like a rainbow, and the "Noble Alliance", which has lost the "great righteousness", is panicked and on the verge of falling apart, and the commander-in-chief of the alliance, Duke Kane, is like a rat crossing the street, everyone shouts and beats.
That's the "big news" that Lane said to Chloe and Vita last night, and the last step of his plan.
The plan is divided into four steps:
The first step is to provoke - to fight in various places, to make trouble in Krutchen and Nodia.
The second step is to slap Kane in the face - lure Kane to gather high-end combat power to the decisive battle of Yumir, and force Kane to tear his face and cut off his retreat by first disclosing the "descendants of the puppet emperor".
The third step is to dig out the heart - and then blitz "Karel Leaves the Palace" with lightning speed, rescue the emperor's family, and make the enemy lose "righteousness".
The fourth step is to take the life - ask His Majesty the Emperor to issue a statement to directly destroy the enemy's foundations.
The whole plan is like a set of combination punches, interlocking, punch after punch, and move to the point, so that Kane and "The League of Nobles" can only parry, but have no power to fight back.
Parry? How can they still parry?
Of course it can, the hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, not to mention that this insect is not dead, and the dying struggle is also reasonable.
Duke Kane and the Kane family behind him were able to organize a rebellion in the "League of Nobles" and take half of the empire, which is unique.
At the first moment when he got Lai En to inflict heavy damage on the Grand Master and save the Emperor's family, Duke Kane took the lead and smashed everything on the table. Hawkers, this is also human nature, complacently killing Youmir, in the end, not only did not achieve the goal, but was also put on a large avenue, under the ups and downs, no matter how deep the city government may not be able to hold on.
When the anger in his heart was almost vented, Kane collected his mood and quickly gathered people to discuss how to deal with it.
In the face of the crisis, the Kane family is very efficient. Two hours after the emperor was "robbed", Kane issued a bounty in the name of "The League of Nobles", ordering the world:
The adopted son of Lord Yumir, the deceased Emperor Grace of Dawn Shuvaze, has rebelled against the Communist Party and hijacked His Majesty, and a reward of 10 million Mira is now offered for the arrest of this person and his accomplices, regardless of life or death.
In addition, if someone can provide information about that person and his or her associates, the Alliance of Nobles will reward them based on the value of the information.
The bounty was followed by an announcement: Lai En Schwartzer is a person with ill intentions, and it is very likely that he will publish false information in the name of His Majesty, and I hope that the public will keep their eyes open and not be deceived by it.
It's not timely, it's not incorrect, but it's not useful.
One side has been planning for a long time, and the other has responded hastily;
One side states the facts, the other tries to quibble;
Not to mention that one side welcomes the Son of Heaven and is justifiable, while the other side loses its "righteousness" and can only follow the strategy of "saving the country by curve".
Under the absolute superiority, Kane's response not only did not achieve the effect he wanted, but after His Majesty's statement was issued, it was said that "the wicked sue first", and was scolded by the people in the backbone. The voices of protest reached Kane's ears through different channels, upsetting him.
What disturbed Kane even more was that not only the protests from the outside, but also the discordant voices within the "League of Nobles" began, and some previously suppressed careerists began to jump up and down again, plotting to seize his position as commander-in-chief.
As Lane said to Chloe, Kane simply didn't have the time and strength to get angry at them, and all he could think about was how to get through the crisis.
It's a pity that the solution hasn't been figured out yet, but it has been questioned by the Elbarrea family, the Haines family, and the Rogner family.
The other three famous families demanded that the Kane family must give a statement that satisfies them and the entire empire, otherwise they will follow His Majesty's orders and draw a line with the "anti-thief"!
Looking at the sternly worded question letter stamped with the seals of the three famous families in front of him, Kane only felt that the world was spinning in front of him.
Before he lost consciousness, he heard the butler's anxious cry:
"Your Excellency the Duke!!" (To be continued.) )
