Chapter 104: Conspiracy
It has been three days since the outbreak of the border war of the Nora Federation, and all the fleets of the Republican Alliance have broken through the territory of the Tornod Empire and are gradually advancing to the second defensive belt.
The vanguard fleet was lured by General Gernfen's fleet to the predetermined meteorite area, and together with the other two fleets, successfully ambushed the Republican fleet, and finally only one-fifth of the warships managed to break through, and finally joined up with the follow-up fleet.
Furious when Kaye learns of the defeat at the front, he kills several unlucky soldiers in quick succession, causing the others to fear that he will be the next unlucky man.
Now that the war has been in full swing, the Republican Alliance has a 12:1 ratio of fleet numbers to the Tonord Empire, and the Republican Alliance has an overwhelming numerical advantage.
Despite this, the Tornod Empire was still inextricably linked to the Republican Alliance, and the two sides showed considerable combat power and were now in a stalemate.
The Republican League can advance farther, but will soon be beaten back by the Tonord Empire.
Now Kaye is in his flagship, and he is very dissatisfied with the current stalemate, so he is also in a very bad mood, and someone will be innocently chosen as the target of venting.
Not many people wanted to walk past him, because it was so dangerous, and several people had already died because of it, which frightened the faint of heart.
After looking at it for a moment, Kaye then asked his lieutenant. "Allen, has the latest battle report from the front line come back now?"
"Yes, Commander." Alan turned and replied. "The latest battle report came back an hour ago, and it says that the second line of defense of the Tornod Empire has been broken through and is moving towards the third line of defense."
"Oh. I got it. Kaye said casually. Inform the front line and tell them to intensify their offensive and make sure to break through the line within 72 hours. ”
"Yes, Commander. Alan will be informed. Alan replied respectfully, then turned around and took action.
Kaye then stopped paying attention to the situation, and it wasn't time for him to get excited, it was still just a normal situation.
……
On the Tonord Empire's side, General Starling was busy arranging his fleet for the upcoming large-scale battle.
Sitting in his seat, Starling listened to Adjutant Cullen's debriefing, wanting to know the specific battlefield situation.
"General, the situation is not satisfactory now." Karen said with emotion. "The Republican League has broken through the third line of defense and is preparing to attack the final line. The number of enemy warships is huge, and now it is about 9 times more than ours. If the follow-up fleet does not arrive in time, then it will have to fight hard. ”
"I see, then it will be troublesome." Starling thought of the possible consequences and couldn't help but say so. "Then there's no point in us staying here any longer, let's move with the fleet towards the final line of defense, and prepare to fight the enemy to the end."
"Cullen is willing to follow the general to the soup and stop the Republican Alliance's attack." Karen said solemnly, thinking about Starling.
"Good, worthy of Karen who has been with me for many years." Starling was very pleased with Karen's performance.
In the following period, Starling issued a number of orders, and the various fleets began to move to the intended location as Starling had requested.
Starling led his fleet towards the final line of defense, ready to make a bold gamble before reinforcements arrived.
Arriving at his destination, Starling immediately began to rearm the final line of defense, and once everything was ready, he waited for the enemy to arrive.
In the time he didn't know, a huge conspiracy was quietly unfolding within the Empire, a conspiracy that threatened the very existence of the Tornod Empire.
Tonod Empire, the imperial capital of the Lafat family.
The head of the Rafat family, Iguzast Rafat, is conducting a secret investigation with a mysterious man with his two younger brothers.
In the council hall, in an ordinary conference room, four people sat separately. On one side sat a middle-aged man with the appearance of an ordinary person with no characteristics, and on the other side sat three elderly men who looked somewhat similar.
Sitting in the middle, Iguzast asked the man in front of him. "I don't know which side Mr. Fidio represents, why do you say that I will definitely agree to cooperate with you?"
"Huh! Head of the Iguzast family, I can't tell you which side I belong to. Fidio said with an inexplicable expression. As long as the head of the family knows that the Dao of the Devil cooperates with us, he will definitely be able to obtain several times more benefits for the Kneeling Family than it is now, or even more than ten times the benefits in the end. I can prove to you that working with us is the right decision. ”
Instead of answering, Iguzest consulted with his two younger brothers to see what they had to say.
In about ten minutes, Iguzast got the answer he was looking for, and explained to Fidio. "We want to see what you say, and if everything is as you say, then we agree to cooperate with you."
"Okay, please wait and see." Fidio said mysteriously. "As for the time, I'll let you know separately. Then we are looking forward to the grand performance that will take place soon, and I hope you enjoy it. ”
Fidio stood up and saluted the trio, then walked out of the conference room, ready to begin his next step.
Iguzast watched as Phidio left, then fell silent. He didn't know the specific situation of Lu Dao at all, he only knew that Lu Dao suddenly appeared in front of his eyes and wanted to cooperate with him, which was simply incredible.
The rugged-looking second brother really couldn't stand it anymore, so he dared to say to Iguzast. "Big brother, the words of this guy of unknown origin may not be credible, we should be prepared in advance and be careful of deception."
"Hmm. The second brother is right, you really have to pay more attention. Said a man who looked like a strategist on the other side of Iguzast. Now that the Empire is embattled, there is something very wrong with the sudden appearance of a mysterious person who wants to cooperate with us and give us benefits that we can't imagine, and there must be some conspiracy at the table. ”
"What the third brother said is also reasonable, but if what he said is true, then what should I do." Iguzast thought for a moment, then asked the two younger brothers a question.
"This ......," neither of them answered.
"Okay, it's pointless to think about it now, let's wait and see." Iguzast didn't intend to go any further, so he concluded.
The trio left the conference room and randomly split up, waiting for the final moment to come.
……
Three days later, a very shocking event occurred - Prince Kirtus was assassinated in his own home, and his death was extremely miserable, his body was torn apart, and his face was full of dead expressions.
When Iguzast learned of the content of the incident, he immediately fell into a state of stupor. He would never have imagined that such a shocking event had happened, and when he linked to the words of the Fidio before leaving, he immediately knew that something was wrong.
Then the entire Rafat family gathered, and the meeting lasted for a long time. After the meeting, he actually began to actively cooperate with Fiat's instructions, which surprised the other big nobles, who never expected that Iguzast, who was originally strongly uncooperative, would suddenly change his attitude.
As the grandson of Iguzast, Cyus overhears important information from his father that his family is plotting against the Empire. Saius, who has always relied on the lawlessness of his family, suddenly became worried, if his family was wiped out by the empire, he would enjoy what he didn't have.
From that day on, Saius became grumpy, and at every turn he would beat and scold people, making those subordinates tremble when they read it, for fear that they would be beaten to death by Saius.
The war has broken out in full swing, there is an enemy invasion on all four directions, and the Imperial soldiers are resisting the enemy's attack, buying the rear some more precious time.
Despite this situation, Saius still can't fix his mistakes. Even if his father had warned him not to fool around outside, it was all a struggle.
Today he is in the most prosperous neighborhood again, ready to have some fun and pass some boring time. By the way, look to see if there are any beautiful women, so as to vent your excess energy.
Coincidentally, Locks is here too, ready to relax and prepare for the moment to go to the front.
In a few days, he will accompany the next batch of fleets to reinforce the Nora Federation front, and it is likely that he will never return to the imperial capital, so he wants to take advantage of the remaining time to quickly wander around a prosperous place.
I didn't expect to meet Saius, and my mood suddenly became terrible. I wanted to bypass Saius and go to a place where the guide was a little bit, but it backfired, and the other party wanted to find fault.
Locks is not a vegetarian either, since the other party wants to find fault, then come on, and then glared at Saius.
Seeing that Locks dared to stare at his young master, this made Cyus's lackeys angry, so they went up to the front two and shouted at Locks arrogantly. "Where did the wild dog come from, he actually dared to stare at my young master, he didn't want these eyes."
"You...... You humble scary, you dare to be rude to the nobles, don't you want to live? "Locks has already made a move, and he doesn't want to be scorned by a mere scary.
"I don't want to live anymore, I think you just don't want to live." Soth, the rat-eyed man, pointed at Locks and scolded. "You are no longer the powerful young master of the Minks family back then, now you are just an ordinary little nobleman. My young master is a nobleman with the title of earl, how many levels higher than you. ”
"You ......" Locks was so uncomfortable by the words of the rat-eyed man Soth, he was only a baron now, and the game of Uss was much lower.
Saius looked at the farce in front of him and wondered how to tease Locks.
