Chapter Eighty-Four: Two Calculations
In fact, Ankadirmo was not the kind of person who was stupid enough to miss the opportunity, and of course he himself was not satisfied with the role of being an apostate, but he still accepted the role in order to preserve the teachings of the gods.
The crux of the matter was that since the last time Memphis was attacked by the Dils army, King Cadmunro's surveillance of the priests had been greatly increased. As the only remaining force in the Yaki Empire, the importance of the Priest Army is almost related to the life and death of Yaki, because it is only natural to increase the supervision force. However, it will be even more difficult for Ankadirmo and Figol's plan to be implemented, and it should be said that it is already a precious thing to find this opportunity to send an envoy. The man who gave the priests little chance of doing their work was none other than Brudasmo, the leader of the Shadow Brotherhood.
Even though the Yakee Empire has become stormy, the strength of the Shadow Brotherhood has not been substantially damaged, even if the eyeline scattered throughout the country is constantly being searched by Palci, but the backbone of the Empire is still well preserved, especially the activity of their intelligence gathering expert Locke, not only firmly grasp every move of the priest army, but even the every move of the Governor of Aricenta Harbor, the only remaining prince of Aki, cannot escape his eyes. Relying on this, the Shadow Brotherhood's master, Count Libera, is now deaf and clear-sighted, and ironically lacks the forces to carry out the plan, not the intelligence to analyze.
"Does the Governor of Mircu of Arisianda have any intention of allegiance to the king?" Libera opened her mouth to ask Brudasmo, who was reporting to him about the military.
"The position of the Governor is unclear at this time, Lord Earl." Brudasmo replied, "As you can see, the port of Arisianta is now the richest city in Yaqui. The number of troops that the governor could support even exceeded that of His Majesty, and even the Palci army did not dare to underestimate him in such a situation. In addition, the governor was originally subordinate to the faction of the prime minister Usubu, and now it is the era when Andrasius is in power. He would not have succumbed to Andrasius easily. β
"That's right," said Libera, burying herself in the back of her chair, pondering for a moment, "if Andrasius is not in the position of prime minister, will Governor Mirku change his position?" β
Brudasmo laughed dryly a few times and said, "Your Excellency, you really like to laugh, with Lord Andrasius, you will never abandon his position of power and His Majesty the King, who has achieved all this, and he can tolerate your military power only to continue to maintain his political position." Moreover, from the standpoint of His Majesty the King, neither you nor Lord Andrasius will be cut off. Because the abandonment of any one could lead to the fall of the empire. From the villain's point of view, His Majesty's suspicion of you is only heavier than that of Lord Andrasius, and it may be difficult to bring down Lord Andrasiu. β
Libera nodded and said, "You have a point, but how would things change if there was a different king?" β
Brudasmo understood that Libera was referring to the widow of his deceased brother Ayuka, the only man other than the king who had been secretly hidden by Libera, and who had the royal blood of Yaqui, his Royal Highness Gilmus, who was only five years old. Ever since he had brought His Royal Highness back to the Prince, he had shown to be more intelligent and well-behaved than ordinary people. Coupled with the fact that he inherited his father's warrior blood, he is also superior to children of the same age in strength and agility, and if this child ascends to the throne and reaches adulthood, Yaki may still have hope. And if His Royal Highness the prince ascends the throne, then Libera will naturally become the regent. Although Libera was not a good man of statecraft, he was a man of great selflessness, and he was perhaps better governed than by a politician and careerist like Andrasius. Libera's statement shows that he did have the intention of deposing King Cadmunro and launching a coup d'Γ©tat. I don't know if this is good or bad for the current subunit, but it's better than doing nothing. For nothing is done, and those who wait for Yaki will have only one way to perish.
Thinking of this, Brudasmo replied, "If it is His Highness who ascends the throne, then Lord Mirku's attitude may really take a turn for the better. However, there are only a few people who know about this matter at present, and how to prove the authenticity of His Highness's identity to Lord Mirku is probably the real problem. β
"Don't worry about that, I've thought of a good candidate, Count Jacob, how's that?"
Brudasmo was taken aback when he heard this. Count Jacob is a relative of Prime Minister Usubu, and he is naturally from Usubu's faction. However, due to his incompetence, he lost the entire Dils region and fled back to Yaqui alone, and Usub felt disgraced and vigorously suppressed him, after which he never appeared in Yaqui's court again, and lived a miserable life in a small manor of his own. There were several advantages to having him act as an emissary: first, he was a member of the former Usubu tribe, and the governor of Mirku would have enough trust in him; secondly, he is the one who was miserable by Usubu, and he will have much less rejection of Libera, so it will be easier to accept Libera's proposal, and this will be an opportunity for him to turn over; Again, he was the one the Dils wanted to get rid of, and his loyalty to the royal family of Yaqui should be unquestionable; In the end, Jacob has long been insignificant, and even if the negotiations break down or the matter is revealed, he can easily abandon this insider without harming the Libera Group. He had to admit that Count Libera's political sensitivity had increased dramatically in the past few years, and perhaps the situation would have been different if Libera had been promoted to the pillar of the empire a few years earlier during the lifetime of Kadir III.
"Since the Earl has planned it well, the villain agrees to do so." Brudas Mordor Drive.
"Very well, you will arrange for someone to secretly bring Count Jacob to me," said Libera softly, "and one more thing, after you find him, you must set aside men to follow him in case of accidents, and when you go to the port of Arizander, I want you to arrange a few good men in the team, if you can convince the governor of Mirku, it is best to find an opportunity to assassinate him." I will beseech Your Majesty to prepare an edict to succeed Jacob as Governor. β
Brudasmo couldn't help but snort, for Libera's actions surprised him again. It seems that Libera has made up his mind to take all of Yaqui's remaining power in his hands, and whoever stops it will be eliminated by him, even His Majesty, and this ruthlessness is not something that everyone can do. It seems that this man has completely transformed into a ruthless politician, and perhaps he is doing it purely for the survival of Yaki, but it is also possible that he really intends to take power alone. If it is the former, then he will spare no effort to assist this person, and if it is the latter, then he must keep an eye on it to prevent the roots of Yaqi from breaking into his hands.
