By the time Libera came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, it was already late at night, and he had already exhausted a lot of energy on Sulla's body tonight, so he planned to go to bed alone.

Before she could enter her yard, Libera suddenly stopped. A military general's unique instinct made him sense something.

"Who's there?" Libera didn't carry a sword, but the small dagger at his waist was not something that an ordinary assassin could handle.

After a while, a voice came out of the darkness: "Lord Libera is so interested, the villain has been waiting for so long." ”

Libera heard someone's voice, it was Brudasmo, the leader of the Shadow Brotherhood. If it weren't for the last time Brudasmo managed to hide Kadir III, Yaki's situation would have been even worse, and the Shadow Brotherhood would have surfaced because of this incident. There was still such a force in Yaqui's court, which Libera had not known before. Despite Brudasmol's efforts to save Kadir and Kad Monroe for Yaki, Libera, a military general, has a natural aversion to this secret killer organization.

"I didn't expect Lord Brudasmo to be interested in other people's boudoir pleasures." Libera sneered.

A figure slowly came out of the darkness in the corner, and Brudasmo smiled: "Don't get me wrong, Lord Earl, the villain didn't mean to snoop on your privacy. It's just that the villain has been tracking down some things, and he happened to find out about your mansion, so he met the adult. ”

Libera's heart moved. He's always acted in the open, and if there's anything he's secretly manipulating, it's the plot with Sulla. If this matter had been reported by Brudasmo, Cad Monroe would not have been a joke, and at this moment Libera couldn't help but regret that he didn't have a weapon by his side. Dealing with a master like Brudasmo is not something that a dagger can do.

Brudasmo was worthy of being a killer, and he instantly sensed Libera's thoughts: "Don't get me wrong, Lord Earl. If the villain has a mind that is not good for you, he will not show up. ”

"Oh? What do you want to say? ”

"Please be patient and listen to the villain's explanation. The foundation of the Shadow Brotherhood is the need for an ontology. Without the existence of the body, then the shadow would disappear. So the Shadow Brotherhood has always served King Arqui in secret, but that doesn't mean that we're the property of His Majesty. ”

Libera squinted at the black man in front of him, he already vaguely understood the meaning of the other party's words. Brudasmo continued: "At present, the power of Yaki is not in the hands of the king, and Cad Monro is just a puppet of Andrasius. The villain's rescue of him was entirely out of loyalty to the former King Kadir, but the Shadow Brotherhood could not serve a puppet king, at least not until His Majesty took back his power. However, Lord Andrasius is not the one who can lead Yaki to a better future, so the villain decides to put the bet on you, my lord. ”

"Me? I don't have any power. ”

Brudasmo shook his head and said, "Your Excellency, you are the Great General, you hold the military power of Yaki, and you are the only one who can save His Majesty the King from Andrasius's grasp. And you have never had a ** for power. If you can take power of Yaki, you will return it to His Majesty the King. So, the villain decided to work for you for the time being until then. ”

"You're gambling, sir. No one can guarantee that my ambitions will not swell after I take power, let alone that I will be able to take back power from Andrasius, and more importantly, what about the investigation you just mentioned? Unfazed, Libera pointed out several loopholes in Brudasmo's account.

Brudasmo laughed again: "Your Excellency is really powerful, but I'm afraid you misunderstood the meaning of the villain again." The so-called politics is originally a big gamble, and the villain does not want to press all his possessions on the losing side, although you are not necessarily the winning side. But there is a chance to win, and betting on you is the most suitable choice. In addition, the Shadow Brotherhood is loyal to King Yaki, and does not care who becomes king. As you can see, it will be difficult for His Majesty Cad Monroe's body to fully return to normal. If he fails to leave an heir in time, the royal bloodline of Yaki is in danger of being cut off, so the nature of the villain's investigation has changed from cutting the grass and eradicating the roots to exploring the royal bloodline. From this point of view, the interests of the adults and the villains are the same. ”

Libera reluctantly nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then I can reach an alliance with you." ”

"Thank you, sir. The Brotherhood of Villains and Shadows will help you achieve your wishes as soon as possible. Brudasmo bowed respectfully. Then he slowly retreated, disappearing into the darkness.

Okay, okay. At least not to put him in a hostile position. Libera said this to herself, knowing that this pale statement did not dispel his dislike for the Shadow Brotherhood, but at least it was an excuse.

He was just about to go back to his dormitory, when someone came to report the visit of General Vultures.

"It's a lively day, please." Libera couldn't help but smile bitterly. He had to straighten his clothes and head to the reception room.

By the time he arrived, the Vultures were already there. The relationship between the two no longer needs to be greeted, and after taking a seat, they went straight to the point.

"What is the purpose of Lord Vulture's late night visit?"

"My lord, judging from the current situation, we must unite all the forces that can be combined. Have you ever wondered about the power of priesthood? ”

Of course, Libera didn't think about it, but before Kadir took advantage of the conflict between Ankadirmo and Figor to recruit Vultures from Figor's hands to his subordinates, and then in order to appease Figor, he asked Brudasmo to poison the chief high priest Barnadus, so that Figor became the chief high priest as he wished. After that, in order to contain Figor's power and grow stronger, he once again secretly helped Ankadir Molai to hold Figol back, and for this reason, the power of the priest army was greatly depleted in the past few years. Figor is not stupid, he knows very well in his heart that the driving force behind all this is Kadir, and now it is not easy for him to help the Yaki royal family?

Seeing Libera's hesitation, Vulture spoke: "I understand what your Excellency is hesitating, but now is not the era of the first king, it is the time of His Majesty Cad Monroe. Moreover, Parci's infiltration of religion also made the priests feel deeply threatened, and this was the best time to unite them. Ankadirmo and High Priest Figor are indeed on the same page, but they will put aside their prejudices and act together again in order for the doctrine of the gods to continue to exist. The Priest Army, though damaged, was still a formidable force to be reckoned with. I'm willing to go to the lobbyists to convince them to work for the Arkee royal family, what do you think? ”

Libera thought in her mind, and felt that Vulture's statement did make sense. If the power of the priests can be united, it may be possible to strengthen the position of Cad Monro to confront Andrasius, and it is also the most suitable person to have Vulture as an emissary. In case the lobbying fails, as long as it is not public, there will be no loss to His Majesty's prestige, and it is at least worth a try. Then he said, "So it's going to bother Lord Vultures to make a trip." ”

"Then I'll leave early tomorrow morning! Farewell. With that, Vultures took his leave.

Libera paced back and forth in the reception room three or four times, feeling that a little light in the room seemed to be her own heart, and the darkness around her was like a whirlpool of power struggles in Yaki, ready to swallow the crumbling lights at any moment.

There will be more agreements to be made on your own. Libera said in her heart. This is a prophecy that will not fail. (To be continued.) )
