Chapter 118: The Man Behind the Scenes
In the barren wilderness, Martha returned here with a group of rebel fighters.
Walking across the shattered earth, Martha and the others saw four standing figures.
Approaching, it was the Grand Duke of Lane, the Grand Duke of Vlad, and the two gray-haired elderly earls who were guarding the two Grand Dukes.
Looking at the two archdukes who were silent, Martha opened her mouth, and finally silently took off the military hat on her head and saluted silently to the bodies of the two archdukes.
"Martha, you're here." The two elderly counts who were guarding the Grand Duke's side laughed, and one of the old men spoke, as if the old man had thought of something, and looked at the warriors behind Martha, "Speaking of which, I remember that there was a standard-bearer among you, right?" Do you have a national flag on you? ”
Martha realized something, and immediately looked at a young man behind her.
"Carry, carry, and have a backup." The young man who was targeted by Martha hurriedly took out two rolls of blue sword and shield flags from his pocket.
The old earl walked slowly up to the young man, took the flag, and carefully covered the two archdukes.
Martha silently participated in the act of putting the flags on the two archdukes, and after the stamping, Martha could no longer suppress the doubts in her heart, and she frowned at the two old counts who seemed to be friends with the two archdukes.
"Your Excellency, Grand Duke...... What kind of people are they, Grand Duke? ”
The two archdukes, it can be said that they are one of the people at the peak of power in the empire, and these two existences did not hesitate to sacrifice themselves at this time, which made Martha quite incomprehensible.
Under normal circumstances, this kind of battle shouldn't be done by the dead soldiers under his command!
And this is completely different from what Martha saw, the corrupt empire, shouldn't the big people in the empire be some moths with fat brains!
Oh, by the way, these counts in front of me are also abnormal people! Martha glanced at the two decrepit counts in front of her, who also had the "favor of heaven" on them.
When did the empire have so many people of insight?
The old earl who was asked was stunned, and then he smiled kindly, and his cloudy gaze fell on the two archdukes who were tightly covered by the flag.
"The two of them? Well...... One is a stupid person who pretends to be stupid or may be really stupid, and the other is an actor who plays the role of an executioner with a straight face every day. Speaking of which, Vlad's character is really not suitable to be the head of the Imperial Intelligence Agency, and he should be asked to do it, but unfortunately it is his family's inheritance. The old earl, who had been silent and wore a hood, had a terrifying smile on his face that could stop crying.
Martha, of course, was not frightened by the other party's appearance, she just looked up at the decrepit old earl.
After seeing Martha's gaze, the old earl was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head with a smile: "Old and old, I can't tell what young people want to know." ”
The old earl straightened his posture, and his cloudy eyes flashed with a fine light, and said, "Martha, what you want to know most is where 'our group' used to be, right?" ”
Martha nodded slightly, and the great nobles were squandering the last inventory of the empire, and the empire was going into decay. This is something that all discerning people see.
So how could there be a "hero" like Duke Lane in the empire to stand up!
“…… Actually, we've always been there. We have been there when the empire relied on instruments to complete its unification. Let's talk about a character that is easier to understand, Martha, you know Prime Minister Kaman, right? ”
Prime Minister Kaman? How can I not know that this is a bull who directly caused the empire to split the momentum, the publisher of "The Theory of Instrument Threat", provoked the special person who used the privilege of the three artifacts to protect the country and sentenced him to death.
"Kaman is our man."
"When Carman was researching wisdom devices, he was also the ancestor of our people, and he provided him with a lot of information about wisdom devices."
Martha narrowed her eyes and said, "And then your ancestors watched Prime Minister Kaman being killed?" ”
The old earl sighed, and when he was young, he had also sighed about Prime Minister Carman when he read the historical records of the family.
"It was the mistake of our ancestors, the ancestors didn't expect Kaman to be so radical at that time, Martha, you should also know what the actual rulers of the empire are all these years."
Lenovo with the killing of Prime Minister Kaman, the de facto controller of the empire jumped out of the water.
“…… Three artifacts to protect the country. Martha was silent, although the Kalan royal family has often produced wise monarchs in the past few hundred years, but the status of the three artifacts of the protector has always been high, in the final analysis, they are actually remote control of the empire!
Then why are the current group of shadow collectors popping up again? Martha frowned in confusion.
But the next moment, Martha saw the two old earls standing in front of her, with the same thick dark circles on their faces as Archduke Lane and Archduke Vlad.
Comparing time, yes, it is "the favor of heaven".
Because of the appearance of the favor of the sky, these old guys who were hiding in the shadows came out and carried the banner of resisting the three artifacts of protecting the country.
The favor of heaven gave these old people the courage to resist the three artifacts of protecting the country!
Seeing Martha's gaze, the old earl guessed what the other party was thinking, and he smiled.
"It's not just the favor of heaven, if it's just the favor of heaven, we won't stand up. We have to admit that because the Iron Beasts, even those intelligent tools, have a conspiracy, the Empire still needs the tools, and without the tools, we have no power to resist the Iron Beasts. ”
"Heavenly Favor is just an item that we were lucky enough to get by chance, and although it is powerful, it is still too little to be the main force against the Iron Beast."
"At the end of the day, in fact, the development of alchemy is still too slow because of our hole cards, and there are too few people who secretly study alchemy......"
The old earl reminded him that Martha's mind flashed the figure of a young boy with a smile like a spring breeze.
“…… Demon Hunter. ”
The old earl glanced at Martha approvingly, nodded slightly, and continued: "Old man, I like to talk to smart people, yes, it is the appearance of demon hunters that gives us another confidence. So we tore through the disguise we once had, and we stood up. ”
It stands to reason that the Demon Hunter had just appeared, and it was impossible for the old Earl's group to notice it so quickly and discover its mysteries.
All of this is actually because of the problems on the Empire's side, the whole empire of the open sea operation is broadcast in real time, and the powerful arrival of the demon hunter makes everyone shocked to find that there is another power in this world that is different from the instrument.
After the operation in the open sea, when the pioneer demon hunters began to preach, a group of people led by the two dukes arranged for spies to infiltrate the new group of demon hunter reserves.
However, unlike the dead Karan XIII, the rebels did not do anything drastic, and they were accustomed to behind-the-scenes operations, and they only recognized the demon hunters as a spectator or participant.
For this reason, the spies of the rebel army finally joined the demon hunter camp sincerely...... Well, the rebels have lost more than a dozen good members.
Perhaps for the sake of expanding the demon hunter's camp on a larger scale, Edward's information on the demon hunter is close to completely public, coupled with the temptation of more than a dozen outstanding members, and finally became a glorious demon hunter reserve, some information came.
The hidden rebels analyzed and concluded.
The Demon Hunter's Legacy of Power is complete! It's even more professional and rigorous than its apparatus!
"I see." Martha nodded slightly, and her eyes fell on the two corpses covered by the national flag, is this how the "hero" came about......
When Martha and the others cleaned up the battlefield and left with the two archdukes, a new storm began to brew in the direction of the imperial capital.
A young man wearing a white cloak and carrying a simple silver sword behind his back stepped into the imperial capital under the gaze of the city guards looking at the "Master of Instruments", and the luxurious royal palace came into his field of vision.
Looking at the palace, the corners of the young man's mouth raised.
"I am here to those who slander my Lord...... Are you ready for trial? ”
