The empire is getting stronger, there's no doubt about it. But there are also many undercurrents surging within the empire, and there is no doubt about it. However, the most dangerous of all undercurrents has recently come to an end.

The Knights of Hell are dispatched under Feige's orders, and their goal is to destroy the Cult of Rebirth. According to the information that Feige dug up from Marellis's head, the Cult of Rebirth of Destruction's strongholds in the empire have been dealt a heavy blow. They couldn't escape, because Feige asked the magic school to cooperate with the Tibetan women, and the school's magicians blocked the space teleportation, and the Tibetan women used spell-breaking weapons, so that most of the spells could not work as well as they should.

Finding that the desperate cultists have become angry, and their belief in "destruction" and "rebirth" will only lead to one choice: the dog jumps over the wall. In most cases, the Knights of Hell do not need to produce any evidence, and those who use sorcery or transform into monsters have already confessed to their crimes.

Feige didn't need a trial, and he didn't want to waste time on it. There are only two options for targets targeted by the Knights of Hell: to argue with the Adamantite bullets of the magic spear, or to be put to the test of detection spells. Those who fail the spell test are still a Adamantite bullet, and those who pass the test will also be imprisoned, cut off from all contact with the outside world.

"This is the power of the emperor. Feige said to anyone who wanted to intercede for the last case. "Let them pray to the Goddess. They will be locked up until the miracle comes. ”

A great manhunt, three hundred heads, or monsters, and two hundred prisoners, shook the whole empire. For people who are honest and innocent in their own lives, this just increases the after-dinner conversation, and there is nothing shocking. The frightened ones are actually the other "undercurrents". Among them were spies from other kingdoms and nobles, their spokesmen or intermediaries, and some hired assassins, brokers, and saboteurs. They found that the Knights of Hell had a frighteningly high rate of capture accuracy, and their ability to capture was far beyond their expectations, so of course they would be afraid. 'What if the Emperor also has his own information?'

If these people had seen the Hell Knights on the battlefield, they might not have been afraid, but would have accepted their fate instead. Feiqi's sudden blow had the effect of startling snakes and insects, and many "bugs" hurried to leave Tawu Harbor City and leave the Imperial border. They made room for it, and the old nobles, who were just in time to surrender, arrived. Some of these people were calm, some were trembling, and they were not sure of His Majesty the Emperor's intentions, or they were unwilling to believe that this operation was only to fight against the "Destruction of the Rebirth Sect".

Feige can manage a lot of things, the only thing that can't care about what others think, at least not on a large scale, he doesn't have this ability. Had he had this ability, he would have been able to reverse everyone's soul beliefs and produce a powerful spell effect that would have prevented the world from being destroyed—even the Creator would have to change the state of the soul through a series of infiltration, destruction, and intimidation.

Some things can't be managed, and some things can be managed, but it doesn't mean that it will work as expected. Feige was having a headache over one thing: Messers, the intelligence chief, had come in a week before the "merger ceremony" with a surprisingly bad news.

"Your Majesty, the plan I arranged cannot be carried out, because the Hellknights' blow to the Sect of Destruction and Rebirth has caused some Assassins to choose to leave Tawu Port City early, and no matter how much money is given and what kind of benefits are given, no one dares to carry out sabotage work during the merger ceremony. ”

"If no one is causing trouble, you can't frame the Marseilles? You can't give any amount of money, are those assassins or mercenaries already very rich?"

"They are afraid of being pursued. Now there is a widely accepted saying among the mercenaries: an organization like the Destruction and Rebirth Sect can't hide or resist, and no one can. Causing trouble for the emperor, especially directly, will definitely not survive for three days. Maxes scratched his head: "Your Majesty, if I have a year, I still have a way to reverse this situation......"

"How do you twist it?"

"Manufacturing...... No, fake some successful campaigns, let those people go unpunished, and spread the news of success. Among the mercenaries and assassins, rumors have a wider space and more influence than the real situation. "Your rulers before you, not including Andrew, needed the Assassins to do something bad for themselves, and it required them to maintain their influence at all times, so some of the reputable Assassin Guilds were based on the rumors that the rulers tolerated and were manipulated by the rulers' money. ”

"Does that include the assassination of me during the time of Grand Duke Aria?" Feige asked about it suddenly, and Mathers shuddered. "That elven assassin, is it the elf that Aria is looking for directly, or is it through you?"

"Your Majesty, it's through me. ”

"I think that's the same. Aria likes to get other people's hands dirty to do the work for himself, and that's why he failed – and I failed for almost the same reason. Mathers, I'm disappointed in you. ”

Messers suddenly knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was disappointed in myself and I ......"

"Stop, don't say anything 'either', my emotions haven't been mobilized to the limit so quickly. I just know your ceiling and that's it. Well, get up from the ground, and if you have what it takes to accomplish everything, I'll order you to save the world, right?"

Somewhat overwhelmed, Maxers stood up as he was asked, but his legs were still shaking. "Your Majesty, can I still serve you?"

"You have a lot to do, and I can fully tolerate flaws in your work. I'm not perfect, and I'm not tolerating that, too?" Feige said with a blank expression, and Maxes didn't know what to understand. "Have the Marseilles arrived at Port Tawu?"

"When we arrive, Count Monta Marsé is in the city of Port Tawu, and they have arrived this morning. ”

"I want to see him, immediately. Let him come to the palace. Feige waved his hand, motioning for Maxers to step down.

Maxes wiped the sweat from his head. If he can't do this well, then he won't have a head to wipe his sweat with his hands in the future. The intelligence chief trotted out of the palace, changed into the fastest horse, and made his way to the post station under the frantic pursuit of the servants. The Marseilles had just settled down, and Sheila and Langdon were welcoming them to His Majesty the Emperor, in accordance with etiquette and official duties. Monta's round swarthy face always had a laughing expression, and his white beard and short hair as white as a hedgehog trembled slightly. Before they could leave, Mercers hurried in.

"Earl, it is very presumptuous, His Majesty the Emperor wants to see you. Messers didn't even breathe, and said with heavy breathing: "Please go to the palace, Your Majesty is waiting." ”

"I'm very honored to have the opportunity to meet Your Majesty in advance, but can you tell me what's going on?" the smile on Monta's face was gone, and there was confusion in his eyes, but more nervousness.

"I don't know. If Your Majesty asks me so, I must convey it 100%. ”

Maxes did not answer the question, but he did it in a different way: the Emperor demanded that he do 100 percent of the time. In the face of an emperor like Feige, the reason is often not important, the content is not important, but the emotions are important. Mercers did not dare to slack off, and even more so did the Count of Monta Marse.

"I'm going to go. Please lead the way, my first time in Tawu Port City, I have never been to the palace, I don't know how to go. Monta looked at the clothes on his body, although there were some dust and stains, but he could not be more decent in the case of the "emergency meeting".

"We can take you there, and we can let Master Maxhers take a break and relax. ”

Messers looked at Langdon, not knowing what to say. He really thought that this young master of the Hall family was a good young man, willing to study, able to work, and able to carry some burdens, but at this moment he was obviously very inexperienced. Needless to say, look at the look of joy on the face of Count Monta Marse, the joy of finding a cushion or security, and prove Landon wrong.

"yes, I really want to meet my brother. Sheila said: "I haven't seen him for months since my last dinner, and I usually only rely on letters. I've seen a lot of things, I've met a lot of people, and I have a lot to say to him......"

Wonderful!" said to the Emperor, "His Majesty the Emperor is very busy, and even if you have a lot to say, you will have to wait until he has time and summons him." Your Majesty can only give time to your honored guest, a member of the future Empire, Lord Count Monta Marse. Please don't worry about my body, I can show my efforts through fatigue in front of His Majesty the Emperor, this kind of opportunity is not very often. Lord Earl, please. ”

The Count of Marseille frowned slightly, and wanted to speak, but he noticed Sheila kicking her brother in the heel, and knew there was nothing he could do. "Then the troublesome Lord will lead the way. The Count had no choice but to say.

The Count of Marseille brought only two guards and part-time attendants, and the others remained. Maxes noticed that he had winked at his wife before leaving, but the intelligence chief decided to ignore it. If he swapped identities, he would also make his eyes look at him, but no look would solve the problem, just like the two guards. If His Majesty the Emperor wants to do something, in this world, perhaps only the presence of the goddess can stop him.

Well, maybe Shani has this ability too.

Fege prepares drinks, snacks and pipes for Monta Marse, which he has often seen as a waste of time these days. When Maxers saw this, his heart became more and more uneasy. The more His Majesty the Emperor attaches importance to it, the greater the impact of this matter.

"Can I just call you Monta, the Empire has no aristocratic class, so I don't want to say the word count. ”

"Your Majesty the Emperor, of course you can. After joining the empire, the earl or something is just a cloud of the past, which is not worth mentioning at all. Please understand that I am very eager to join, so please call me the way you like. ”

Feige invited Monta Marse to sit down with him face to face, then waved his hand away from the servant. Monta nodded, and two of his guards followed Maxus out of the room. Feiqi scratched his chin and motioned for Monta to take the food or drink in front of him at will, and then said directly: "I want to bridge the city, completely control there, you can choose another place for yourself and your family." ”

"Your Majesty, you are so direct. Monta grabbed the teapot and poured herself a cup of piping hot tea. He couldn't drink the water, and he didn't want to drink it, but he needed to move very much. "Is Your Majesty dissatisfied with the agreement that has been reached?"

"Yes, I'm very dissatisfied. Those two guys were clever and didn't do anything good for me. Hashito Castle is important, but they still keep your family there. So, move away and change places!"

"Your Majesty, in Qiaodu City, the news has been announced, and the Marseille family will still stay, which is the main reason why the locals can maintain stability. They are some very old-fashioned, conservative people, and only familiar faces can keep them from causing trouble. ”

"If my task force needs your family to step in to maintain order, then they are a failure. The failure of the Working Group is my failure, and I will not tolerate it. "I don't allow anyone to feel like a threat to me, except for failure," Feige said. I don't think there are trifles in the mortal world that can't be done, for me it's just a comparison of one method and another. ”

"Your Majesty, can you raise the dead?" Monta suddenly asked, "Can you make the stones grow food?"

"The two questions you quote are stories from the Goddess of Truth, Thunder, and Goddess of Truth. The answer to this is that the goddess oracle should think for yourself and work hard. And my answer is: Absolutely. Feiqi then asked, "Why did you move away from Qiaodu City?"

"Your Majesty, that is our hometown, where everyone in our family was born and raised, and has rich memories. Also, unlike other families, we have an estate elsewhere. Without Qiaodu City, our family is nothing. ”

"The team can assign you a good spot. Feige said.

"Your Majesty, this is not enough. Monta said, "We had an agreement before, it was signed by an official authorized by you, and this agreement has been posted in the form of a notice in Qiaodu City, and I make sure that everyone there knows what it says." Are you not ready to carry out this sacred agreement? Are you going to break it?"

"This kind of accusation makes my heart ache," Feige still had a blank expression, "The mistakes made by my brother and sister need me to make amends, what is the point of heartache? As I said before, there is only one road and another path, and the end is the same." Think, why did Maxhers come to tell you to come?"
