Volume 6: Turmoil (Remastered) Chapter 25: Arrangement (3)
Syllable!
A goblet that looked like a precious item was crushed raw, and the red wine inside trickled down the fingers, leaving a large dark red stain on the carpet of camel hair.
"The Hunters? Are you sure it's a hunting regiment? Yakumo Zi's wonderful eyes suddenly opened up, and her face was shocked, the news that Yakumo Blue said made her so surprised that she didn't even notice that the wine glass in her hand was crushed, "I was tricked!" ”
"Yes, Lady Purple. Hunting Corps! Sixteen hunting regiments surrounded the remnants of the forces on Raven Ridge, and our men had no way of getting the rest of the story. Yakumo Lan is not worried about Yakumo Murasaki's hands, since she began to accept the strengthening of the ring, Yakumo Murasaki's physical fitness has become stronger and stronger, and this small glass shard can't hurt this eldest lady.
"Really? Thank you! Although this news surprised her, Yakumo Zi quickly calmed down, resumed her noble posture as before, took the towel handed by Yakumo Lan and wiped her hands, and poured herself a glass of red wine again, "So, Lan, you must have already investigated, right?" ”
"Yes, Lady Purple, but the results of the investigation are different from what we expected!"
"Oh?"
"The hunting regiment involved this time includes China, Russia, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany and other countries, and none of them have obvious tendencies, so there is no way to find out the clues of that man from this aspect."
"Did you hide your tail? It's him! Damn, this shame will be doubled back to him one day! Yakumo said viciously.
"Of course, Purple-sama! So, what do we do next? Do you want to continue to invest in the blighted city? Due to the sudden intervention of the Sixth Apostle, almost all of those guilds have been hit hard, and as long as we continue the previous method, we can bring at least three or so guilds under our control. ”
"There's no need, this kind of corner fight is meaningless, those wastes are useless, and they can't provide enough security for ordinary members, then this guild will lose the meaning of existence, and those guilds in the withered city can only survive under that man's obscenity from now on, and it won't help us to invest our strength, not to mention, those chaser regiments are like sharp knives, against their throats, this is a bottomless pit, it's better to give up early!" Yakumo Zi waved his hand and gave up the abandoned sons without care.
"I understand, I will arrange it immediately, and the channels I used to contact those people will be completely abandoned, and no one will find out that it is our handiwork." Yakumo Blue nodded and took the order, "So, Lord Purple, is the next step to fully assist His Excellency the Second Apostle's plan for the Mobiris?" ”
Yakumo Zi slowly shook the wine glass in her hand, and watched the red wine in it roll up a small whirlpool with her movements: "It was originally planned like this, but now it seems that the first apostle has completely merged with the sixth apostle, the hunting regiment, hmph, when I am a fool, to be able to come up with so many players who can unify the command and order the ban, in addition to the armies of various countries, I can't think of any other possibility, this aspect has always been our weakness, and now we are doing the same means, it will not help in a short time, It's better to find a way to build my Gensokyo well, the Mobilis plan is the best opportunity, of course, the domestic army can't let others interfere anymore, Blue, you arrange, I want to have a meal with the director of the Defense Agency. ”
"Yes, Lord Zi, then, in what capacity?"
"In his capacity as the chairman of the Imperial United Foundation, of course!" Yakumo Zi's face was arrogant, as if she was sitting high in the clouds, looking down on the queen of all beings.
"I see, let's arrange it!" Yakumo Blue bowed and retreated.
"Wait!" Yakumo Purple called out to Yakumo Lan, who was about to turn around and leave, "In my memory, the earliest hunting regiment was established five months ago, right?" ”
"You're right, the first Chaser Regiment to be established is the Elven Clan's Kurand Chasseur Regiment, with four hundred and eighty people, under the jurisdiction of the Forest Children Guild, but it has a lot of autonomy, and the head of the group is Kurland Fury, an Elven Hunter, and now it is a third-order sixty-first rank, male, Swede." Yakumo Lan slowly and neatly said the information that Yakumo Zi wanted to know, as if these things had been deeply engraved in her mind for a long time.
Yakumo Zi nodded with satisfaction, she was most satisfied with this point of Yakumo Blue, whether it could be used or not, as long as it was the information that could be collected, Yakumo Blue would not forget, she even suspected that her nominal sister's brain was a high-performance computer, and those extremely detailed information were like folders, stored in her mind in different categories.
"Kurland Chasers." Yakumo Zi pondered for a while, "Do you think this Kurland Hunter Regiment will ......?"
"Do you mean the true master of the Kurland Chasseur?" Yakumo Blue immediately understood what Yakumo Purple meant.
"In five months, Blue, from the establishment of the Kurland Chaser Regiment to the present, how many Chaser Corps have been formed? I mean the ones that already know. ”
"More than a thousand, Purple-sama!" This number had long been extracted from Yakumo's memory, "And this number is still increasing by the number of thirty per day. ”
"A thousand, no, it could be fifteen hundred, so that's 750,000 people, so that's the case, has the layout started from that time? What a terrible scheming! The calculated numbers made Yakumo Purple have to be terrified.
"I'm afraid it's not all, Lord Zi, in addition to the Chasseur Regiment, in the past five months, there have been more than three hundred small guilds established within the demon clan alone, these guilds neither openly recruit players, nor open membership applications, the number of members is only maintained at the scale of a thousand people, according to the information we have ascertained, these guilds have financial support from Mason Freemasonry behind them, and the members are veterans from various countries, and the age is generally not more than forty years old." Yakumo Lan said, "I'm worried that these guilds, like the hunting regiments, are pawns laid by a certain force. ”
"Mason Freemasonry? Have you contacted them? ”
"I did, but since four months ago, the original Freemasonry leadership has passed away for various reasons, and since then this ancient organization has been completely cut off from the outside world."
Yakumo Zi frowned: "It seems that they are very cautious!" I know, continue to collect their intelligence, we were too dull before, Blue, find a way to optimize our system, it's a matter of life and death! ”
"Yes, Purple-sama!"
"Go ahead!"
Compared with the warm relationship between Yakumo Zi's master and servant, the atmosphere in the palace of Diar King City was a bit solemn.
The black knight Lionel knelt on the ground, but the legendary black knight was trembling at the moment, without the slightest momentum of a legendary hero.
All because of the Emperor who reigned on the throne, the ruler of the oldest undead empire, the Dia Empire, the supreme king of the undead, Albrecht.
The king wore a purple-gold crown on his head, an ordinary set of regular clothes, and a smile on his face, which was three points more handsome than the elves, and there was no indication that this was an undead emperor.
But the brighter the smile on Emperor Albrecht's face, the more Lionel's body trembled as he knelt below, and even made him feel the urge to extinguish the fire of his soul in order to be freed from this suffocating pressure.
"Lionel, my dear Lionel, are you saying that the thing I asked you to do failed?" Albrecht propped his chin in his hand and looked at the kneeling servant in the audience with a smile.
The black knight lowered his body as much as possible as if he were on a pilgrimage: "Supreme Master, please forgive me for this incompetent slave!" ”
Albrecht's eyes flashed with a hint of disgust, and he waved his hand: "All right, I forgive you, get up, except for the soul image you have shown me, I want to hear your explanation for this defeat with my own ears!" ”
"Your forgiveness is the greatest gift to the lowly servant!" If he hadn't become an undead, Lionel would have thought he was already sweating profusely.
After listening to Lionel's narration, Albrecht changed from being bored with his chin propped up to sitting upright: "You mean, that little guy named Ice Whisper and Dry Bones smashed all your arrangements with the soldiers?" ”
"Yes, yes, my esteemed majesty, I beg your pardon for my incompetence, and if you allow me, I can at once offer the fire of the soul of the maggot who dared to offend your majesty to wash away my failures!"
"My majesty? Lionel, when will you be able to represent me? Well? Emperor Albrecht glanced at Lionel with a playful look, and the icy chill caused the black knight to immediately fall to his knees again as fast as he could.
"I beg your pardon, I beg your pardon!" Where did Lionel dare to argue, he could only beg for mercy.
"Forget it, Lionel, you have been the captain of my personal guard since three thousand years ago, I am satisfied with your loyalty, I forgive you for this failure, but you don't have to continue to serve as the commander of the personal guard, it just so happens that General Campas's purge of those northern trolls has also begun, you go to Camppass to obey orders, I hope you don't make the same defeat again." Albrecht said, and then didn't bother to look at the loser again, "Alright, stand down!" ”
Lionel left the hall with a thousand thanks, and everyone knew that the once formidable captain of the personal guard would never be able to enter the power core of the Dia Empire again.
"Fool, if it weren't for this fool's loyalty to me, he would have become a skeleton puppet by now, huh!" Emperor Albrecht slapped his throne heavily and said.
"Your Majesty, the old minister believes that the main reason for this defeat is not His Excellency Lionel." From the beginning, the great corpse witch Perris Stygian, who stood on the side of the main hall like a sculpture, said that as the leader of the Stygian Fire family, Perris was not only an important minister of the Dia Empire, but also one of the three necro lords who led all the corpse witch forces in the entire Dia Empire, and was also the most trusted subordinate and wise man of Emperor Albrecht.
"Of course I know, but that doesn't make this fool less guilty, I thought that keeping him by his side for so many years would make his brain, which only knows how to slash, smarter, but I didn't expect it to be like that, hum!"
Perris knew that in fact, Emperor Albrecht didn't care about this small failure, but because the subordinates he valued did not perform well and would make the other undead lords see jokes, which was the reason why Emperor Albrecht exiled Lionel in disguise.
Although the Dia Empire is the oldest undead empire, but ancient means that there are many strong people, although Emperor Albrecht rules the entire empire, but those equally ancient undead lords also have a great degree of freedom in many cases, and the relationship between the emperor and the lord has always been on the side of equality, which is why Emperor Albrecht does not want other lords to see his jokes.
"Forget it, it was originally planned, the original design was to lure that Garrakis to fall and lure Morgan to the territory of the undead, in order to let those hypocrites who believe in light find a way to snatch it back, but I didn't expect that Pope Gralaus II at that time would be indifferent and sit back and watch Morgan fall because of this, so this matter has been delayed until now, although Lionel has some small mistakes, but finally let the flame of light return to the Holy See of Light smoothly." Emperor Albrecht said.
Perris nodded in agreement: "You are right, Your Majesty, although it is more than a thousand years late, but I think it is better, those believers of the light may never think that the hard-found holy fire has already been manipulated by us, those lackeys of light will not give up hope of taking the sky city in their own hands no matter what, as long as they inject the holy fire into the control core of the sky city, the hidden seeds in the holy fire will sprout, or it will not be long before the city of miracles will become the bag of our undead, Those lackeys of light are destined to be nothing more than empty joy! ”
"Hmph, with a lifespan of less than a hundred years, how can you understand the true meaning of power, gather the power of the entire Dia Empire, and even let a god fall, only to finally obtain a seed of will, this is a conspiracy that the Dia Empire has spent tens of thousands of years planning, and now it is finally going to bear fruit, hahaha!" Emperor Albrecht said with a smile.
"This is also the credit of Your Majesty, the Dia Empire can finally gain enough power to conquer the entire continent once again. However, Your Majesty, you have to do a full set of plays, and then you still have to implement it according to the plan, and you can't let the Bright Sect see any problems. ”
"Speaking of which, don't you think that little guy Lionel said is a good candidate?" Albrecht said with deep meaning.
"That little guy called Ice Whisper Dry Bone? Well, it's kind of interesting, but isn't it too weak? Although I believe that the Holy See of Light will definitely not give up its control of Sky City, and there must be some means to prevent us from sending high-level combat power into Sky City, but let a little guy who is not even a third order go, won't they see what is wrong? ”
"Haha, you underestimate this little guy too much, if I'm not mistaken, it's this funny little guy who swept down that hero's cemetery, by the way, this little guy has already ruined my good deeds twice, hehe, but he's very smart, I'm very optimistic about him, what's more, judging from Lionel's description, I'm afraid those old guys in the council are also involved in it." Emperor Albrecht said pointedly.
"Andrew? The council has always been committed to maintaining the balance of power between the two camps, but Andrew's guy is more on the side of life, and the Soul Orb is his test product that fuses death power, soul power, and life force, although it is only a failed test object, however, I heard that the Grand Lord of Gismat has a lot of opinions about the hero's graveyard being taken away, after all, since a long time, this greedy guy has wanted to take the corpse buried below for himself. Perris rubbed his skeletal chin with his withered hands, "Maybe we can start with that." ”
"I'll leave these little things to you! You are responsible for arranging the personnel sent to the Sky City, although it is cannon fodder to send to the dead, but you can't let those guys get the Sky City too easily, I don't want my toys to be transformed beyond recognition. With that, Emperor Albrecht got up and left his throne.
"Do as you command, my majesty!" Perris bowed to Emperor Albrecht's back, his empty eyes glinting with a faint red glow.
