Chapter 128: Planning

"So this report tells me two things...... Brody was mortally wounded, and they also allowed the Noxus spies and the traitors among us to escape...... Is that what it means? ”

I don't know how long he waited, Gavin II finally spoke, even though the stone slab under his feet had been crushed into powder, he did not get angry as he imagined, but said quite calmly, but to be honest, the calm under this contrast was more terrifying than anger, out of his position, the herald had to affirm in a low voice, and he was even ready to be angry......

"I see, wait here, I have a new order to give."

Ay......?

The herald was stunned, he looked ...... It seems that there is really no anger, just like receiving an ordinary latest war report, he is just calmly analyzing the current situation and how to deal with it, without any emotion, you know, this battle report contains a huge amount of information, as a king, how can he stay calm under such a huge defeat? The others sitting on the side looked at him in disbelief as they waited for his next command:

"Well, folks, as I said before, now that General Brody is seriously wounded and may not be able to recover his best condition for a long time, then the first order, the work of the Notick base and the surrounding area shall be the sole responsibility of General Harrison for the time being, {i} read {small} said 3w.ybdu and remind him that General Brody is doing a very good job there, and not to disappoint this old general."

"Ah...... Be! The herald immediately began to take notes, although it was supposed to be the work of the staff officer, but it was ...... It doesn't matter.

"The second order, since the Noxians have shown their tails, it can prove that my guess is not wrong, and inform the troops to start a large-scale search, those three people may have escaped from Demacia, but it is still possible that some of the assassins are still hiding in a corner, find these people for me."

"Yes...... Ay? Boss, this ......," said the herald as he recorded it, and as usual Gavin II asked them to raise any doubts immediately, but in such an atmosphere, he always felt that it was a little inappropriate to do so.

"If there's any problem, say it." The Second seemed to be no different than usual, and still didn't care to let him say what he thought.

"Yes...... Boss," the herald hesitated, but plucked up the courage to say, "It's impossible for an ordinary soldier to find the Assassin of Noxus, and our spy team is responsible for all this work, but you know it...... All of these people have now been imprisoned, if only the ordinary soldiers were to look for them...... This ......"

"You're right...... Thank you for the reminder" II nodded approvingly at him, but if this herald was older, he would have noticed that there was more of a wry smile in the eyes of the second, since the previous order could not be done, then what should be done next......? The second paced for a while, and it seemed that an idea suddenly came to mind: "In that case...... Revise my orders to transfer all officers, including generals, out of their current units and into a unit that is completely new to them, and to keep an eye on all communications magic and equipment, which we can do with our equipment, and to arrest any suspicious information as soon as it is discovered; Defenders from all over the city have stepped up patrols in the city, especially in densely populated places, I remember that we also have individual magic detection equipment, equipping each team of soldiers, by the way, let the remaining magicians join them, once they find a non-military magician, immediately arrest and investigate, in addition, there is no need to deliberately look for assassins, if you find any suspicious person, you will immediately arrest and investigate, these guys can be found slowly, preventing intelligence leakage is the most important goal at the moment, understand? ”

…… What is this? Are you kidding?

The transfer of all the officers from the units they were familiar with may indeed prevent a mutiny, but the result is a drastic reduction in the combat effectiveness of the army, widespread surveillance and patrolling of civilians, and arrests without evidence, which is simply pushing the country into complete panic and chaos, and the operation of the spy department has been quite opposed before, but at the insistence of the second, this investigation may indeed have achieved some results, but ...... Is it just because of such a harvest that the whole country is going to be thrown into chaos?

"I don't agree with that."

"Me too."

"It must not be done." ……

"Don't you agree?" In the face of everyone's unanimous opposition, the second did not show any attitude, he just turned to scan the group of people, and said in a consultative tone.

"Of course! Your approach is too extreme, and if you do, not only will the stability of the country be affected, but we will also be found by the Noxians......"

"I see, I see" Before the cabinet member could finish speaking, Gavin II suddenly interrupted him, he nodded thoughtfully, and then asked a little inexplicably, "You have been busy here for this country these days, you must have worked very hard, okay, I will give you a few days of vacation, so that you can think about the current situation, what do you think?" “

Holiday? Is this some kind of joke? There are only a few days left in the time limit given by Reginald, and who is still in the mood to go on vacation: "Boss, please stop joking with us, if you ...... this extent"

"I mean, give you a few days off, start now, and understand me?"

At this moment, the people sitting here finally saw the scene they had expected before, Gavin II was indeed smiling, but the anger in this smile made him seem almost hideous, not only that, but in this look, there was even a bit of murderous intent, this is the anger of the king, this anger makes people unable to resist, there is no choice but to kneel down in fear, watching the table also show a little bit of cracks and shatter into powder, everyone dare not say anything more can only leave with their heads down, that night, Gavin II dissolved his cabinet and gave his own orders so arbitrarily for the first time.

Also that night, Chad stood not far away and watched all this, he knew that the second was already trying his best to suppress his anger and do what a king should do, so he did not stop anything at that time, and the second would quickly realize his mistake, but the next day, it turned out that he was wrong.

The cabinet was dissolved, and the orders drawn up that night had already been carried out, and all the members of the cabinet had been sent to prison, but fortunately II did not treat them too much, and when he was about to talk to him, Chad almost thought that he had recognized the wrong person.

His eyes no longer flashed with sparkle, suspicion, indifference and ** mercilessly replaced him, he may also listen to the opinions of others - it should be said that the same opinion as him, after hearing about the fate of the cabinet, there were several people who tried to persuade him, but the fate of these people was no different from that of the cabinet members, for other considerations, Chad, who was the most capable of persuading the second, could not speak, he needed a time, the best time to persuade the second.

――

"Okay little girl, I have to dismiss your opinion, I know far more about the person you are talking about than you do, at least for now, please dispel the idea of trying to persuade him, it will not work at all."

"So I think...... Ay? Are you saying it can't be done? This ......" While Chad was recalling the previous situation, Phyllis kept recounting her plan, and when Chad mercilessly denied it, she lowered her head in frustration.

"Don't be so disappointed, there is nothing wrong with your judgment itself, and when you escape from the hands of those people you should know that language can be both a sharp knife and the most useless thing, and as a king he must take responsibility for everything in this country, but when the responsibility is heavy enough to crush this man, language is ineffective."

Chad finally uttered the words which he had known but had never been willing to admit, for at this moment, any words had lost their meaning to Gallvin II, and there had to be something—a person, an object, a timing, or something else sufficient to wake him up from the nightmare he had woken up.

"So now what we've sorted out is that the country is in chaos, and it's almost impossible to control that chaos through language, so we're going to ...... Do we have to do anything else? ”

Chad's analysis was indeed easy to sort out the situation, and after only two questions were asked, Phyllis immediately found a conclusion, and it was clear that if there was no suitable opportunity to stop this chaos, the only way to stop this chaos was to let the Phantom move, then herein was the problem: not only because without the consent of the multiple commanders, their dispatch would be illegal, which was already a minor matter, but without these officers, the only Phantom member she knew was the one in front of her, and with the two of them, what could she do?

"I agree with you, Crimson, and from what I know, you're good at assassination with daggers, as well as psychic magic, right?"

"Hey......? Yes, what's the problem? Phyllis was stunned for a moment when she heard Chad such a question, and Chard's expression was very serious, so serious that it was like ...... If you want to, you can rely on the two of them to stop all this.
