Headquarters of the Imperial Capital Garrison.

In the meeting room, all the members of the "Falcon" were present, and they sat around a long rectangular table, each with a cup of fragrant tea in front of the table, exuding the intoxicating aroma of tea.

Javier sat on the throne, his expression as grim as ever.

In a few days, he gradually walked out of the shadow of Seleuc's death, at least on the surface, there was no abnormality.

After discussing some daily matters, the meeting came to the main topic of the day.

"After yesterday's discussions, both the General and Mr. Jolly agreed with my idea, and the crusade against the Minister is imminent, and everyone is ready." A hint of coldness flashed in Javier's eyes, "Just wait for the time to come, it will be the time when the minister is dying!" ”

Everyone sensed the absolute murder in Javier's words, and knew that this time he was going to move seriously, and I am afraid that the death of Seleuc was also one of the reasons why he suddenly became radical.

But in any case, this is good news, for all of you.

The minister, the cancer that plagued the empire, should have been eliminated a long time ago, and if he did not die, the empire would never be at peace.

"Has this finally come to this day? Scold...... I'm looking forward to it. ”

Chelsea sat in the corner of the long table with her delicate chin propped up, staring at Javier with a smile on her lips.

Once a member of the Revolutionary Army, she saw in Havel a new possibility, a new possibility about the future path of the Empire.

A large part of the reason for the rise of the revolutionary army should be attributed to Earnest.

This man covered the sky with one hand in the empire, and the country was in a miasma, and many capable people who wanted to change the status quo were persecuted to death by him, which also made most people lose hope in their hearts and move towards the road of revolution.

However, as long as the source of the Empire's troubles can be eradicated, and the young emperor is properly guided by virtuous ministers, then the country has a chance to return to the right path.

At that time, there will be no object to be crusaded against, and the meaning of the existence of the revolutionary army will disappear.

In a good direction, it may be able to directly quell the scourge of war in all directions, so that the empire will once again usher in an era of prosperity.

Of course, this is just a beautiful hope for Chelsea after all.

She knew very well how unrealistic it was for those in power to lay down their authority for the sake of justice.

The leader of the revolutionary army was not a hero who fought for the people.

He is a hero, how can he be willing to put down the staff of power in his hand in order to realize his ambitions?

There will be wars in the future of the empire, and there will be fights.

"It's hard work to convince those two old-fashioned old men, isn't it? It's really hard for you. Arrowan smiled, holding the teacup in his hand, and the fragrance of tea overflowed.

Javier did not respond to Arrovan's teasing words, but remained silent.

Indeed, from his point of view, both Mr. Jolly and the Grand General were a little too conservative in their thinking.

They also want to change the empire, but they want to minimize the damage by gradually eating away at the minister's power, after all, the stormy empire can no longer withstand greater turmoil.

This may be understandable, but the current scourge of the empire is far more than Earnest, whether it is the revolutionary army, the tranquility of the Dao, or the alien peoples of the West, they are not so easy to deal with.

In this situation of internal and external troubles, time is already running out.

Therefore, yesterday in the General's Palace, Havel showed his most resolute attitude, and explained his interests and disadvantages to these two old ministers little by little, hoping that they could understand and support his approach.

Thankfully, the end result was not bad.

It took some effort, but they were finally convinced, and they agreed to cooperate with their actions.

And then, there is only one opportunity, or fuse, missing.

As long as the last condition is met, Javier will be able to achieve his immediate goal - to defeat the Chancellor, gather the living forces of the Empire, and prepare for the next all-out war!

"Father, he's not old-fashioned!"

Sibia, who was on the side, listened to Arowen's words, and immediately became unhappy, and pouted: "I will convey your words to my father as they are." ”

“…… Lord Spiya, please let the villain go! ”

Sensing that something was wrong, Arowen immediately shook off the festival and even called the adults, but only exchanged for the white eyes of Spiya.

Seeing this almost a daily scene, everyone couldn't help but let out a low laugh, but there was a certain girl missing from this laughter, which couldn't help but make people feel a little lonely.

At this time, Lan, who was sitting next to Javier, looked at the document in his hand and suddenly said: "Captain, the garrison has just sent news that the minister's son Shira has returned to the imperial capital. ”

"The Chancellor's son?" Javier thought for a moment, "I haven't seen him yet, but I heard that he has been traveling around the world in recent years, and has he returned?" ”

"Yes." Lan nodded, "In addition, there are five followers by Sheila's side, all of whom are from foreign countries of unknown origin. ”

Speaking of this, Lan paused slightly, and his expression became a little strange.

The report contains a brief description of the five followers, and one word in particular is of particular concern to him - Joker.

This brought back bad memories in his heart, and the expression on his face was slightly gloomy.

Lan made up his mind to investigate this man thoroughly, and he would not ignore any suspicious person in order to find out who killed his students.

"What's wrong with you, Lan?"

Javier noticed his abnormality and couldn't help but be stunned.

Lan shook his head and smiled gently, as if the gloomy expression on his expression just now was just an illusion.

"Nothing, just a little distraction."

"It's really not like you to be distracted in the middle of a meeting."

Javier could see that Lan had something in mind, but since he didn't want to say it, he wouldn't force it.

Still, at least some of the attitudes can be indicated.

"Lan, although we have only known each other for a few months, I have long regarded you as a trusted companion, not only me, but everyone as well." Javier said seriously, "So if you really have something unspeakable, you can say it directly, as long as it is within my ability, it will definitely not be postponed...... That's what it's like that between peers, isn't it? ”

Listening to Javier's sincere words, Lan's heart was slightly touched.

His defection to Havel has a certain purpose, whether it is to avenge the students or to use Havel to ascend to power, it cannot be called a pure and justifiable purpose.

However, he has always been treated with affection by everyone and gradually integrated into the atmosphere here, so he never dared to reveal his intentions for fear of losing this warm accommodation.

But now it seems that he is too hypocritical.

Why should there be such meaningless deception among companions?

"Thank you, Captain."

Lan smiled relievedly, and then as if he had made up his mind, he said, "I do have some things to care about...... One of the five followers is a clown, and he must have some relationship with me, so I'd like to use the power of the Shadow to investigate him. ”

"That's it, no problem." Javier nodded in agreement, "But if you have to investigate anyway, then by the way, you will also include several other people in the investigation...... I'd like to see what kind of ghosts, snakes, and gods this Sheila has found. ”

"Yes, I see."
