At this time, Ulysses didn't care about Isaac's state, he raised his chin slightly, and there was a thoughtful look in his eyes, but he suddenly talked about an irrelevant topic.

"Speaking of which, a lot of strange things have happened lately." Ulysses looked at Isaac, "Not long after the death of Minister Earnest, there was a sudden rise of some negative public opinion within the revolutionary army that was not conducive to the revolution, and then the Imperial Order, and General Isaac, you, showed too positive attitude in this matter......

"Although I would love to think of all this as a coincidence, as the leader of the revolutionary army, I have to think about the worst aspects, and if the recent events have been deliberately planned and arranged by someone with a heart, it will be a little scary...... What do you think, Isaac? ”

Hearing Ulysses' profound, bland and tentative words, Isaac's fists couldn't help but clench even tighter, even the joints made a crisp sound, his eyes were full of the color called anger, and he almost gritted his teeth and responded word by word.

"What do you mean, Lord Ulysses...... Are you doubting me? Suspect that I am a spy planted by the Empire into the Revolutionary Army? ”

Ulysses chuckled and waved his hand.

"How so? Isaac, you are an old subordinate who has followed me since the early days of the Revolutionary Army, and I will never question your loyalty...... But ah, I'm more curious, who have you been in contact with recently, or you can understand it this way, what kind of opportunity will make you go all out to promote this imperial recruitment? ”

After speaking, Ulysses stared at Isaac's eyes, not letting go of the slightest expression of his expression.

At the same time, two cadres at the conference table exchanged vague glances, and there was a certain smell of danger in them, they were the two generals who had supported Isaac first in the previous vote.

After Ulysses' awakening, Isaac also began to understand something in hindsight.

The meaning of Ulysses's words is obvious, he wants to say that the spies of the empire have infiltrated the inside of the revolutionary army, whether it is to create public opinion in the army, shake people's hearts, or incite some high-level officials to create internal divisions when the empire's recruitment order is issued, it is all the ghosts of this group of people hidden in the shadows.

Although most of his actions this time were of his own will, if there was anyone who played a role in fueling the troubles, it would undoubtedly be-

Thinking of this, Isaac's gaze couldn't help but drift slightly, looking at the two cadres sitting opposite him, who were his two closest friends in the revolutionary army.

Should...... No way?

Isaac's mind wandered.

It was at this moment that something happened suddenly.

"Boom!"

With a sudden loud bang, the rectangular square table in the center of the conference room was instantly overturned from the bottom up by a strong force, splitting into countless scattered fragments after slamming into the ceiling, and then shooting a head at the crowd directly below who had no time to react.

"Zheng!"

At the moment of chaos, the sound of sharp blades unsheathed also sounded in the conference room at the same time, and Isaac vaguely saw that two figures were taking advantage of this sudden chaos to rush towards Ulysses who was located in the first seat, and the long sword and dagger slashed through the air with brilliant and dangerous light and shadow, hitting the latter's head and heart respectively, obviously intending to kill with one blow.

And the people who did it were undoubtedly his two friends who frequented frequently in the revolutionary army.

No, they should be called ...... now The Empire's spies are right!

Isaac probably can also understand their thoughts, it should be that seeing that their identities are about to be exposed, they simply don't do anything, and do their best to make the last desperate fight, if they can bring the leader of the revolutionary army to accompany them to the funeral, then their mission can be regarded as complete.

However, things clearly won't go as smoothly as they hoped.

"Bell!"

"Ding!"

Whether it was the slash of the sword or the thrust of the dagger, they were blocked by a meter of distance from Ulysses, and the air rippled in circles like stones falling into a calm lake, as if an invisible wall of air was standing here, stopping them from striking to the death.

"Tsk, shit!"

"What is this......"

In an uncanny voice, the two Imperial spies both kept falling backwards due to the powerful recoil force, and the spy with the sword in hand struggled to raise his head, and vaguely, he saw the cold and mocking eyes of Ulysses, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, and-

A murder weapon pierced his heart from behind and emerged from his chest, the blood-stained blade radiating a terrible color that consumed his life.

Behind the spy, in the originally empty place, a knight wrapped in black armor appeared like a ghost, and his grim posture was like a grim reaper.

"Poof!"

A mouthful of blood spurted out, and the darkness of chaos immediately assimilated the spy's consciousness and returned to nothingness.

"You bastard—"

Seeing his companion being killed in front of his eyes, the other spy roared angrily, steadied himself and slammed his heel forward, close to him with remarkable reaction speed, and the dagger in his hand turned upside down, fiercely stabbing the black knight in the neck without armor.

However, before the blade of the dagger could cut the black knight's throat, the latter reached out its pitch-black iron claws, grabbed the spy's dagger wrist firmly, and slammed it in the opposite direction to the wrist joint.

The terrifying sound of the knots shattering made everyone around them jump into their eyelids, and the dagger fell, sinking deep into the floor beneath their feet.

The sharp pain of the wrist bone being shattered by brute force suddenly made the spy's face twist, and cold sweat flowed from his forehead, but he did not let out a scream, but his eyes were as fierce as a wolf, and he obviously had a strong desire to attack.

However, the strangely shaped sword in the black knight's hand pierced the spy's heart first, instantly disintegrating all of the latter's counterattacks.

At the last second of his life, the spy saw the cold face under the knight's black helmet, and the pair of emotionless abyss eyes that seemed to have come out of hell, staring indifferently at his death.

This assassination happened suddenly, and ended quickly, not even half a minute, and when everything fell to the ground, many cadres in the conference room all looked at the black knight who suddenly appeared, and their eyes were full of fear and jealousy.

It is known that the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Ulysses, has a special operations squad under his command, which is his trump card force, which is called Deaththorn.

The members who can join this organization are all diehard loyalists of Ulysses, and everyone is a first-class powerhouse with unique skills, even the assassination organization "Night Raid" led by Najeta is far inferior to it.

The revolutionary army was originally an armed force composed of a mixture of many forces, among which there were many ruthless people in high positions, Ulysses was able to stand out in the situation coveted by the Quartet, and sit firmly on the throne of the leader, although his transcendent personality charm played a role, and the deterrence of "death thorns" was also one of the most important factors.

And the black-armored knight in front of him is one of the members of the "Deaththorn" who is responsible for protecting the safety of Ulysses all the year round, and he is also the leader of the "Deaththorn" organization.

He was called the "Black Knight" by Ulysses, and everyone called him that, but as for his real name, not many people cared.

"Hmph, although I have a hunch that the inside of the revolutionary army is not very clean, but I didn't expect that this group of rats has infiltrated the leadership silently, and the people behind the scenes who can manipulate this kind of chessboard should be the only one in the empire, Javier Salmondo, right? What a great trick......"

Glancing coldly at the two corpses that had lost their lives, although it was not shown on his face, Ulysses was actually quite angry in his heart, and anyone would not be in a good mood after knowing that his base camp had been infiltrated by the enemy.

"Pass my order, immediately arrest all the direct subordinates of these two men, these people are likely to be spies sent by the Empire, if they encounter resistance, they will be killed! In addition, investigate their network in the revolutionary army, and if anyone who is found to be close to them is arrested, they will all be arrested and imprisoned, and they will be dealt with after a thorough investigation! ”

The cadres in the conference room received orders one after another, and they all knew that Ulysses was angry now, and no one dared to question his orders.

"Wait, Master Ulysses!"

Isaac was still immersed in the blow of his friend being an Imperial spy and was a little stunned, but when he heard Ulysses's order, he immediately shook his head and stood up to retort loudly.

"The two of them had already taken the position of cadres of the revolutionary army before their identities were revealed, and the scope of their network must be very large, and this level of purge will definitely affect many innocent people. The subordinates thought that they could put this matter down for the time being, and slowly try it out without making a noise, so that the damage caused would be even less......"

Ulysses interrupted Isaac's words with a wave of his hand, and stared at him with an inexplicable gaze for a few seconds before smiling strangely.

"I don't think you understood me, Isaac." He whispered, "I mean, you...... He is also one of the people who will be purged. ”

"Phew!"

At the moment when the last few words of Ulysses's words fell, the black knight, who was originally some distance away from Isaac, suddenly flashed beside him, and the strange long sword that had not yet dried blood pierced through Isaac's chest at a speed that was absolutely impossible to dodge.

This sudden scene stunned everyone around them, and there was an eerie silence in the meeting room.

Blood poured out of his throat and ran wildly down the corners of Isaac's mouth, and he could feel his life passing by at a rapid pace, and there was a bit of disbelief in his eyes, Isaac looked at the man he had sworn allegiance to.

"Why ......? You should know, there's no way I'm going to betray you......"

Meeting Isaac's gaze, Ulysses's eyes were only ruthless, he tapped his fingers on the armrest of the seat, and said slowly, "As you said before, Isaac, the situation is different now...... The empire is no longer an evil that must be crusaded, the revolutionary army no longer occupies the name of justice and righteousness, and the winds have turned against us. It is precisely for this reason that the revolutionary army must make a change, a change in the most fundamental convictions. ”

"You are loyal to me because I can bring you the future you want, but when that future never becomes a reality, your loyalty can turn into betrayal at any time. I can't do nothing and wait for this to happen, so I can only choose to do it first......"

"This Imperial espionage incident is a good opportunity, isn't it? Of course, even if there are no such things that the Empire has done, I will find another opportunity to do it, but it is just a matter of time sooner or later. ”

His thin lips under his silver-white mask were slightly raised, graceful and cruel, like a devil from hell.

"So, Isaac...... For the sake of the future of the revolutionary army, and for my purposes, I have to thank you, or you ...... Go to hell. ”

After hearing these words, the surrounding cadres couldn't help but feel a chill down their backs, and cold sweat flowed from their foreheads.

Because the revolutionary army has developed quite steadily in recent years, the leader's style has become more gentle, but no one here dares to forget the ruthless methods displayed by Ulysses in order to stabilize the regime.

Except for a few fanatics who admired Ulysses very much, and a few guys who were not good goods in the first place, some cadres had begun to worry, especially those who had openly supported Isaac before, their faces became extremely pale, and I wonder if Ulysses had also put them on the must-kill list.

Isaac grabbed the blade of his chest with his backhand, trying not to let his body fall, his mind confused by the loss of blood and the impact of words, but still struggling to work.

Until the last moment of his life, as if he had figured out something, a mocking voice came out of his mouth.

"I ...... I thought you were a hero, but I thought wrong......"

His voice was hoarse, and every word he spat out was accompanied by a large amount of blood, but he insisted on staring at Ulysses with his eyes that were gradually losing focus.

"You're just...... Born through this troubled time...... Careerist......"

"Everyone...... It's all ...... Your pawn! ”

After saying this, this fighter who has been practicing his ideals all his life is completely lifeless and falls into eternal silence.

The Black Knight was silent for a moment, a slight sigh in his indifferent eyes, and then turned to ice.

He pulled his blade out of the body in front of him, blood splattered onto his jet-black armor, and Isaac's body fell straight down.

Following the riots in the imperial capital, the revolutionary army also ushered in a long-lost turmoil.

In this turmoil, some people died, some disappeared, and still others were inexplicably promoted to become one of the cadres of the leadership.

It is not difficult for those who are interested to find that the atmosphere inside the revolutionary army has changed significantly compared with before, to be precise, it is like a mad dog with a chain and a mad dog that breaks free from the chain.
