Chapter 171: This is the Horse

Speaker Peters was very angry, and he felt like an idiot being toyed with by the Marquis of Whitehead at yesterday's banquet. The marquis rambled on all sorts of inconsequential topics at the meeting, and even had to take out a few red flowers and a few yellow flowers in the inauguration ceremony flower basket to discuss it.

The Speaker knew that the Marquis of Whitehead was stalling for time, and if the plan to transfer the weapons went well, he would find a way to delay the end of the meeting.

However, as if on purpose, Speaker Peters' position was facing the window of the conference room, and he could watch the flares and magic shining in the night sky from the city.

A banquet didn't end until two o'clock in the morning, and when the Speaker hurried back to the Parliament building, he learned that not a single box of weapons had been delivered. The arsenal of the Blue Cathedral was vandalized, and all weapons were flooded with sewage from the sewers.

Then there were the units involved in the operation, which were followed by unknown forces. The other side staged attacks to prevent the evacuation of people from all sides, and also searched for gaps to arrest people, so that when the speaker returned, there were sporadic gunshots in the city of Saroyan.

And the person who was supposed to be responsible for the implementation of the entire plan has disappeared.

"George, you bastard!" Speaker Peters' roar echoed through the empty parliament building.

Then the men sent to look for Councillor George never found any trace of him, so they tried to abscond in fear of crime.

"Look, you have to find him. Even a corpse is to be carried before me. Peters gave the order again.

One night, the parliament suffered an unprecedented blow. Not only the loss of that batch of munitions, but also the Saroyan purge, which was about to begin. The Marquis of Whitehead must have mastered a large number of names, and the inside line developed by the Parliament is probably not willing to continue to serve the Parliament, even if it is not discovered.

Stealing chickens does not make rice, and losing his wife and soldiers.

One can imagine how hard it would be for the parliamentary side to have so many people without weapons. Will anyone think that the Parliament cannot win and choose to throw themselves into the Empire?

Definitely!

Speaker Peters knows what politicians are, they shout ideals but only interests in their hearts, and as long as they think that parliament is incompetent, they will definitely throw themselves into the arms of the empire. George must be found and his death must be used to stabilize the morale of his own army, make him take all the blame, and appease the anger of the injured parties.

From the end of the banquet in the early morning until the sun rose in the morning, Speaker Peters did not leave his office, he waited for news. As a result, Councillor George took the initiative to send him to the door, and the two horses that followed him into the Speaker's office......

The Speaker didn't know what Councillor George was trying to do when he came in with two horses, but by this time he had changed from anger to calm. Although George must die today, the Speaker also wants to know what he has been doing since he disappeared for so long. What secrets are hidden behind the failure of this operation......

Waving the guard who had brought Senator George in to leave the office, the Speaker sat back in his chair, pointed to the other chair across from the desk and said, "Sit down and talk...... I've always trusted you, even when you've disappointed me time and time again. I promise that your family will be very well taken care of, is there anything you would like to say to me at the end? ”

After saying that, the Speaker looked at the two horses that Councillor George had brought in. His office was very spacious, and even in the station of two tall horses, it did not make the space seem oppressive. The speaker was very curious, George came to the Houses of Parliament at this time, and he must have known his end, but what did he want to do when he brought two horses?

Councillor George took off his hat and placed it on the table, then sat down across from the Speaker.

Then he said, "Your Excellency, I apologize to you for my mistake. Someone must be held accountable for last night's weapons, and for the damage suffered by the council for some time to come, and I am ready to take all the blame, and I am confident that after my death, the speaker will take care of my family.

However, last night I experienced a magical event that let me know...... I can't die yet, I want to continue to serve the parliament, for the freedom of Marcellus. ”

Speaker Peters, not knowing what George was talking nonsense, said, "George, my dear friend. If you make a mistake, you have to take responsibility, and although I want to shelter you, my duty makes it impossible for me to do it.

Say your last words, and you will leave us without pain......

Your ideals will be inherited by us. ”

"Listen to me finish my experience, and then you decide whether to kill me or not." George, hearing that the Speaker was already impatient, began to tell the story he and Father Titus had woven in the alley.

"Last night, when I knew that the arsenal of the Blue Cathedral was flooded, I first sounded an alarm flare, and then I was about to kill myself, but Father Titus suddenly appeared to stop me and take me away.

Father Titus had intended to come to the council and tell us about the flooding of the arsenal, but he spotted traces of evil heretics on the way. You know, in the eyes of the clergy of the Most Good Holy See, any heretic is more important than our weapons.

So the priest followed the infidels into an alley......"

Councillor George has made some changes to what happened to Father Titus, changing his coercion to active tracking. Then there was a fight, but was escaped by the evil infidels.

It was then that Father Titus realized that he should have gone to the council to report the news, but it was too late......

"The priest returned to the Blue Cathedral and stopped me from wanting to commit suicide. He knew I was dead, and he would be the next target of parliament. Father Titus has a very good future in the Holy See, and is a strong contender for the next Bishop of the Blue Cathedral, and this incident will disqualify him from running.

He took me to the place where he had slain the evil cultists and explained to me......

Without the corpses of evil infidels, he would not have been able to prove to the Holy See that he was negligent in his duty for tracking down heretics. He wanted me to start the third agreement with him.

That is: if there is any accident during the transportation, the Blue Cathedral will immediately terminate the shipment of weapons, confiscate all remaining weapons, and no longer assume the confidentiality of the transaction.

As long as I can get this agreement into effect before I die, then his responsibility will be greatly reduced.

I said yes to him, because I saw the two horses in that alley. The priest said that they were left there by evil infidels, and Father Titus, who was already panicking, did not notice anything special about the two horses...... But I can see that they will keep me alive and continue to be reused by you, Your Excellency the Speaker. ”

After listening to Councilman George's account, Speaker Peters had to take a fresh look at the two horses.

This is a horse, a very common horse for pulling carts......
