Chapter 490: Battle Spirit Chapel (Medium)
Sitting alone in his office, Anakin didn't know what was going on today, and he always felt a wave of restlessness, as if there was always a dark cloud in his heart that made him restless. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Soon, a person ran in in a panic, Anakin took a look, only to find that it was his housekeeper, but there was generally no major event, and his family would never come to his office, that is, something must have happened, and it was a very serious matter.
"Master, it's not good, something happened to the young master." As soon as the old butler saw Anakin, he cried and said, and this news was definitely a bolt from the blue for Anakin, because he knew that if something happened to him, it must be death.
"What's going on?" Anakin said in a trembling voice, that is his only son, and he died like this, which is equivalent to being the last child, although there are other children in the family, but what does that have to do with him.
So, the old butler briefly recounted what had happened, and because he was in a hurry, he did not know that Ax was also involved, and at that moment a messenger came running in with an urgent military report.
"My lord, urgent military report." When the messenger saw Anakin, he immediately handed over the secret letter to Anakin, but Anakin had all his thoughts on the death of his son at this time, and when he saw the military newspaper, he just glanced at it casually, but after seeing the news of Edmund's defeat in the military newspaper, a layer of cold sweat broke out on the back of the whole person, which made him even more irritable, as if all the bad things were concentrated today.
"You go back first, I'm going to the Great Elder's Old House." After all, business mattered, Anakin waved his hand at the old butler irritably, and then, putting on his own coat, he walked outside, and Anakin didn't notice that the messenger was not the person he was usually familiar with, why did the military newspaper go directly to him and not pass on the news through the intelligence department.
Anakin hurried all the way to the Great Elder's residence, full of thoughts about his own son, and knew that when he walked into the Great Elder's study, he came back to his senses a little.
"What's wrong? In a trance, this doesn't look like you. "The Great Elder saw Anakin, he had never seen Anakin so distraught. Although Anakin is a little narrow-minded, he has always been meticulous about business, and if it weren't for his small pattern, Dao would be a suitable successor.
"Great Elder, my son just had an accident." Anakin subconsciously said, because his mind was now full of his son's affairs, so the Great Elder asked, and he answered without thinking, but after answering, he immediately realized that he had lost his words, and he did not distinguish between public and private, and answered private matters in front of the Great Elder.
"No, Great Elder, it's an emergency military report from the front." Anakin immediately handed the report to the Grand Elder.
"Edmund's command is not good, the army that attacked the Blackstone Fortress suffered heavy casualties, and even several fortresses around the Blackstone Fortress were lost?" When the Great Elder saw the content of the military newspaper, he slapped the table in front of him angrily, smashing the entire table directly, and the documents on it flew everywhere, but these are no longer important, the important thing is that Edmund not only caused a catastrophe, but also affected the entire noble council.
"Edmund, this idiot, even a pig does better than him." The Great Elder cursed. Anakin had never seen the Great Elder so angry, and he was stunned for a while, but soon, he came back to his senses and said in a low voice: "Great Elder, don't be impatient, the most important thing for us now is to think about how to deal with this matter, I think, Svein They will definitely not let go of this opportunity, if they take the lead, we will fall into passivity." ”
"No, there's no rush. If we make the first move, win or lose, we will immediately be caught by Svein, and then we will only be more passive. Sure enough, he was worthy of the Great Elder, and immediately regained his composure after his anger, and at the same time, there was also a trace of doubt in his heart, why it was such a coincidence, and what was the matter with Anakin's son, and how could this matter be so coincidental, they all rushed together.
"Go and gather the others and tell them to come to me at once whatever they're doing." The Great Elder said to Anakin, and after Anakin left, the Great Elder immediately ordered someone to investigate the matter of Anakin's son.
For an old nobleman, the control of Noxus is absolutely beyond everyone's imagination, although the influence in the entire Noxus is gradually being lost, but the power of Noxus City is intertwined, and various underground forces have their people, and soon, the story of the matter reached the ears of the Great Elder.
"Aix?" In contrast to Anakin's ignorance, blaming the hatred on the son of the garrison general, the Grand Elder blamed Aix for everything.
"Oops." When he thought of Ax, the Great Elder instinctively sensed that there was a conspiracy in this matter, and then thought of the identity of the garrison general, and for the first time knew that he had lost control of the situation, and sure enough, when Anakin summoned the other employers, the garrison general actually began to block the city gates.
"This is forcing me to start a civil war!" The Great Elder sighed, at this time, there were already elders coming one after another, but what happened was confused, no one knew, well-informed, only knew that Edmund was defeated and suffered heavy losses, but the more ignorant he was about the news of Noxus City.
"Great Elder, Edmund was defeated, we are only jointly and severally responsible, as long as we quickly clear up the relationship, we should be able to avoid it." An elder said cautiously.
"How to hide, this responsibility is enough for the old crow of Svein to ask for the dissolution of the noble council, when the time comes, we will be just a group of homeless stray dogs, and we will never have a chance to turn over, and we will be completely excluded from the power circle of Noxus, and even the seat of the high command cannot be retained, and then the old crow of Svein will be able to crush us to death as long as he stretches out a finger." One hardliner retorted that he was clearly unhappy with the Council of Nobles' concessions to Svein over the years.
"Don't talk about it, let's start the Soul Church! In Noxus, after all, it depends on the strength to speak, whoever has a big fist will be respected and will gain the right to speak, since they are doing everything possible to calculate us, and want to see if we are tigers with a few teeth left, I will let them see it clearly. The Great Elder slapped the table and said viciously.
