"Looks like I should have gone home when I first came back."

After listening to Sawyer's explanation, Gregory said with a wry smile that when Sawyer said "forced non-conscription crowd", he already understood that someone was behind the trouble.

As for why it was his and Corey's father who was illegally recruited, it is not difficult to guess, although the two fathers are skilled and sought after by many people, they both belong to ancestral small workshops in terms of business model, and there is no background, and although the children of both families have become professionals, they have also left the city for a few months.

While Sawyer explained to Gregory, the clerk also returned with a few soldiers.

"Found something?" Sawyer asked casually.

"No ......"

The clerk lowered his head in shame, but Sawyer didn't care, but patted the clerk on the shoulder: "Don't blame yourself, if that guy really left the bill and list, he doesn't deserve to be a tainted witness."

"...... now," Gregory asked.

"Now? Of course, go back and see how much information our tainted witnesses will give us. ”

……

In the second ring area, in Sawyer's manor, looking at the thick pile of testimony handed over by the clerk, the expression on Sawyer's face kept changing, and finally sighed: "People's hearts, ......"

As early as after knowing that Gregory's father was also recruited, Sawyer made up his mind to investigate this matter thoroughly, and it was naturally impossible to rely on only a middle-level officer when collecting testimony, after all, how much can a middle-level officer know? What Sawyer wants is to uproot the interest groups involved in this matter!

After the officer spat out what he knew, Sawyer immediately mobilized the Sapphire Guard and arrested the three high-ranking military officers who had been confessed by the officer.

Of course, the capture process will not be so smooth, but when facing the Sapphire Guards, all resistance is doomed to be futile.

After all, the Sapphire Guards are Rowena's direct troops, and every guard is selected from the elite soldiers of various armies in Blue City, even the most ordinary soldiers have the strength of the Six-Ring Knights, and it is not at all that the guards under those generals can stop.

Compared to the officer who volunteered to be a tainted witness, the three military leaders knew more about the situation, and although they did not cooperate as much as the officer in the process of revealing the information, their resistance only took Sawyer a few more hours when the intelligence system of the entire Blue City was cooperating with Sawyer.

"I can't imagine what Rowena would have done if she had known about these things."

Pushing the testimony in front of a middle-aged man, Sawyer asked.

"Kill."

The middle-aged man spat out a word succinctly, then resumed silence and sat on Sawyer's left side like a sculpture.

Hearing this, Sawa smiled slightly, and then looked at the other two sitting opposite: "So, the opinions of the two elder brothers should be similar, right?"

These two are the two lords of Blue City, the two of them glanced at each other and nodded lightly: "Then, kill!" ”

Sawyer nodded again and looked to the right, "Then please."

This man is dressed in azure armor, and the insignia on his chest indicates his identity - the deputy commander of the Sapphire Guard!

After Rowena took away the most elite force in the Sapphire Guard, the deputy commander became the supreme commander of the Sapphire Guard, and he was also the most supportive of Sawyer in the entire Blue City leadership.

"Yes!"

The deputy commander got up in response, nodded to the other three, and then turned and walked to the door, and the other three also got up to say goodbye to Sawyer, and left Sawyer's manor with the deputy commander.

Seeing off the guests, Sawyer looked back at the clerk who had been following him: "You can go back too, but you still have to work hard to draft a draft for tomorrow, and I don't need to say more about the content, right?" ”

"Of course, sir."

The clerk bowed slightly, saluted Sawya, and left the manor.

The gate of the manor closed, and Sawyer looked up at the unchanging gray sky, and couldn't help but laugh:

"That's why I like the world so much, when power can overwhelm everything, these conspiracies, these calculations, these originally complex problems, can be perfectly solved in just a few words."

Gregory in the Sixth Ring District was naturally unclear about Sawyer's decision, and after talking to his parents about his experience in the past few months, and reporting to Cory's parents, who also came to his house, that they were safe, he returned to his room.

After the events of the day, Gregory's original pride brought by being a savior and soaring strength has long been gone, and now there is only remorse, self-blame, and a trace of doubt.

He regretted that he hadn't been able to return home before leaving the Blue City, and that he hadn't used his influence to win better treatment for his parents, otherwise his reception with Rowena and the witch would have been enough to gain the favor of a large number of powerful people and let his parents live in the Fifth Ring or even the Fourth Ring Road.

At the same time, when Gregory knew the truth about his father's recruitment, he also had a trace of doubt about himself and his cultivation - is power really everything? Which is more powerful, power or conspiracy?

Gregory even wanted to ask Sawyer, but seeing the sky outside the window, he dismissed the idea.

In fact, even if Sawyer knew his thoughts, he would only laugh and scold him, this kid was completely spoiled by the world.

His power is too simple to obtain, in just four months, he has been promoted from the Nine Ring Swordsman all the way to the Five Ring Great Knight, if he is replaced by other powerhouses of the same level, or a councilor of a ring city, they have already gone too far on the path they have chosen, and their beliefs are naturally extremely firm, and they have even become some kind of faith, so they will naturally not waver.

However, Gregory's self-doubt did not last long, and the next morning, as soon as Gregory got up, he heard the news from his father - at noon today, more than 20 high-ranking officials, including two councillors, will be publicly beheaded outside the South City Gate!

Moreover, this public execution was personally presided over by the Supreme Commander of the Blue City, who will disclose the crimes of each senior before the execution, and give a mobilization speech after the execution.

There is no need to doubt the authenticity of the news, as long as you open the door, you can see notices posted all over the streets and alleys, and there are even special speakers in crowded areas such as squares and taverns, reading the news to the public, and by the way, interpreting in detail the wartime mobilization decree issued yesterday.

As a result, Gregory realized that even Qiao Mei's conspiracy was all false in the face of absolute power!
