Eighty-Seven: The Commander (6)
The heavy wooden door was silently pushed open, and Apollion didn't notice him until the man walked up the carpet.
"Lord Duke, Oreo convened a meeting last night, and I can't use the Navoli Conch to deliver a message to you."
Duke Apollion stood up strongly, and he took a bite of the lemon beside him, which made him feel much more energetic.
"Meeting? What meeting can last overnight? ”
His subordinates quickened their speech, and beneath his exhaustion was a palpable panic.
"Battle meeting, he is ready to exterminate us nobles during the day today."
"During the day today? Exterminate us? He's crazy? ”
Of course, Apollion didn't believe this, after all, most of Oreo's men were gathered north of Jessel, and these nobles were far away from him, and it would take him half a day to march from the north, so did he want to spend the remaining half a day to exterminate them?
Not to mention that there are 60,000 soldiers here, who gave him the courage?
He picked up the phone swearing, but the thing rang one step earlier.
"Bell bell bell".
The ringing rings and his instincts tell him that this is not good news, and Apollion picks up the phone.
"Lord Duke, Hussein's men are all from the barracks, and the direction is to the south."
"Nonsense! There are still five thousand golden troops in the city, how dare he do this! ”
Apollion hung up the phone, gasping for breath.
"This man is crazy, he wants to die and pulls us on his back! Immediately inform everyone, we will first guard according to the regulations, if he really dares to do it, can he make any waves with the 20,000 or 30,000 people in his hands! ”
"Yes!"
The men hurried out, and soon the corridor was filled with footsteps, almost all of Yeselle.
Before Apollion could catch his breath, the Navoli conch on his desk lit up, and a hurried sound came from inside.
"Gerus has already led people out of the city, they want to enter the city from the south, you must be on guard against the south!"
"Maniac!"
Apollion gritted his teeth and said, Oreo's men were less than 30,000 people, he dared to arrange such a tactic, if it weren't for his own internal response by his side, he might really be caught off guard.
He may even take advantage of this time to storm the astrological tower, and when that time comes, the people on his side who know that they have no hope of competing for the throne will turn to his side, which is definitely a plan that can only be arranged by a madman!
Apollion snapped his fingers, and the maid who had been waiting by the screen walked out quickly.
"Take me to the religious center first, and then invite the Wajidi and them over, as quickly as possible."
The maid nodded, and the teleportation array expanded from under her feet, and the two of them soon reached a large hall.
The pews used by the faithful to pray had long since been removed and replaced by a round conference table with a few chairs messily placed next to it, and Apollion pulled one over and sat down, only then did he catch his breath.
There was no news from the banquet yesterday evening, and Apollion thought that the worst outcome would be that the people he sent were imprisoned and interrogated, but he did not expect that this morning would indeed be waiting for this result.
Now it seems that the prince named Oreo Pravor is still too young, and he really thinks that the chaos of Jessel can be solved with a single blood, which is simply stupid.
Another teleportation array lit up not far from Apollion, this religious place can only be entered by a certain number of people, but everyone has a nest of snakes and rats, and no one trusts anyone, and it is difficult to protect the rest of the people at this juncture.
Apollion touched the steel armor under his coat so that he could activate it at any moment.
"Go and get Apollion and them over, it's urgent."
Small's voice came from the middle, and he stepped out of the teleportation circle, and he was not surprised to see Apollion here.
He pulled a chair and sat down beside Apollion, never before had they been so close.
"You know that?"
"I'll talk about it when they come."
Apollion sat up straight, he didn't trust Small, whose overtures made him even more wary.
As the various teleportation arrays lit up in the religious room, soon each chair at the round table had its owner, and like Apollion, each one looked no better.
The first to speak was Gilbert, a member of the Pravor family.
"Oreo Pravor is an extremely bold young man, and if I hadn't put eyeliner around him, I probably wouldn't have seen you all tomorrow."
Apollion stepped forward in confusion.
"What message did you get?"
Gilbert took a deep breath as he looked around at the crowd.
"Gerus has already led people out of the city, and they plan to raid us from the south, this is a killing move!"
Everyone looked at each other, and the same surprise appeared on their faces.
Gilbert was stunned.
"You know the news too?"
Small and Wajidi stared at each other, the two of them apparently aware of the news.
Apollion narrowed his eyes.
"Duke Gilbert, there is no secret between us at this time, who is the person who provided you with the news."
Gilbert looked at him in surprise.
"You know her, too?"
"She?"
Small emphasised the title, and the same expression appeared on everyone's faces, an expression that was almost betrayed by a loved one, and it was indescribably distressed.
Vajidi's tone almost trembled.
"You all know her?"
Everyone's expressions were completely the same, and there was no need to confirm it anymore.
Apollion reclined in his chair, staring at the parquet glass of the window overhead, his tone melancholy.
"It seems that she is Oreo's pawn, how long has he been playing this move?"
"No, she's someone else's pawn."
"Oreo didn't even think about wooing us, the only explanation was ......"
"It's Angelo!"
Apollion answered for him, his gaze completely glazed.
He knew that Angelo was a shrewd person, but he didn't expect that he had already become his pawn and didn't know it. The emperor on the tower looked down like a god, and looking back at the tower, Apollion felt a sense of powerlessness.
"No wonder he didn't do anything, it was all in his plan."
"Then what are we going to do, Oreo's men are coming."
Wajidi laughed bitterly.
"Do we have any other choice?"
Gilbert thumped his chest.
"Bastard...... Didn't this bastard have expected this day a long time ago! How dare he do that! ”
"Don't forget that Angelo is the Pope of the Tutan Sect, and as a fire spell magician, this is the first in the history of the Tutan Sect for thousands of years."
Apollion took a deep breath. "He's a genius, a genius like no other."
Gilbert looked up, his gaze fierce.
"We still have a way."
"What's the solution?"
"The enemy of the enemy is the friend, and we can join forces with Oreo to take out Angelo!"
"Then why don't you just stand on Angelo's side, the Venada Empire needs us, and we can be obedient pawns."
"Heh, you go and be your pawn."
Gilbert sneered, he was the only one of the six people present who was a spell master, and no one could stop him if he wanted to leave.
As the teleportation circle lit up beneath his feet, Gilbert spoke aloud.
"I know the Pravor family too well, Angelo won't let you go, if you don't want to die, stand on Oreo's side!"
The rest of the men looked at each other, and all of them straightened up in unison, reaching out and pressing down on their chests, where the Venada Steel Armor had activated.
Apollion whispered.
"Does anyone still want to quit this alliance now?"
Small stood up.
"The Pravor family is crazy, but we're not, Angelo's side obviously has a better chance of winning, of course I'm on Angelo's side, what do you think?"
The will of the group is always contagious, and the remaining three people stood up one after another, nodding their heads one by one.
"For Jessel!"
