Chapter 212: Hound Dog
The nation of Eliezer had never been in such a panic, and the seven main allies issued emergency orders almost simultaneously to prepare for war immediately.
Now the whole country of Aize is in chaos, after all, it has been peaceful for a long time, and they have almost forgotten how to go to war.
Those generals are almost all hereditary children of nobles, and many of them are usually drunkards, let them organize the army, they look confused - it is okay to care about their hundreds of cronies, to integrate tens of thousands of soldiers from all over the country, they have no way to start.
Some generals even temporarily went to their own study and dug out the diaries of their ancestors a hundred years ago, hoping to find some way.
Many soldiers did not even change their minds, and after receiving the military order, they refused to obey the order on the grounds that they were on vacation.
What's even more exaggerated is that all the allied states of the Eize country opened their arsenals and found that the number of weapons did not match the record at all, and many countries did not even have a tenth of the record, and it was estimated that they were greedy for countless ink by the people below.
The defensive weapons on the walls were almost unused, and they had to rely on arms merchants and craftsmen to teach soldiers and generals.
The only soldiers who can be used are probably the honor guards, but it's okay to let them play with their instruments, and if they use weapons, they have to practice again.
Looking at the terrible Aize Kingdom, Hua Pei kept hammering his forehead, if it wasn't for the strategic purpose and reputation that didn't allow, he would really want to directly lead the troops to escape back to the Great Sage Kingdom, and organize a defense in the Great Sage Kingdom.
In the end, Hua Pei had to overstep his command and have the military minister execute hundreds of nobles who resisted the army's orders, soldiers who were unwilling to obey military service, and many greedy officials, and hang their corpses outside the city.
Hua Pei's resolute approach made many nobles of the Eli Kingdom dissatisfied, but more chose to acquiesce, after all, they faced a far greater crisis than beforeβit was a time of human descent and humiliation like domestic animals that can only be recorded in the oldest history books.
On the contrary, after Hua Pei's approach had an effect, the other nobles finally put their minds at ease, knowing that there were still people who would not sit idly by and watch their life and death in danger, at least this commander from the Great Sage Kingdom had two hands, or the means, and was worth relying on.
However, compared to the chaotic and military power under the combat power of the Eize Kingdom, Hua Pei was more worried about other places, and he looked beyond the noisy military conference room of the Eize Kingdom, as if he was going to cast it farther away - the "Hound Dogs", let me see how far the power of the Great Sage Kingdom can be done after being silent for many years......
"Viscount Ali, please accept our investigation!" Como Alizi's family is destined to be unpeaceful, just now the king has ordered the execution of his nephew who disobeyed military orders, and now a group of escorts have rushed to their home, claiming that he is going to be investigated for the safety of the kingdom.
The ladies and servants in the mansion were so frightened that Cuomo had to intervene with the uninvited guests.
"May I ask what happened, I have always kept my duty, it was my nephew Bi Laiti who resisted the military order, I didn't know at all, besides, my side has donated three hundred gold coins as military ...... for this kingdom war"
"That's not what we care about. At this time, an old man with a burly body, gray hair, and only one eye came out of the ranks, and his one-eyed one looked at the viscount condescendingly, "I remember that you are famous for your charity and have adopted many orphans, right?"
"That's right. Cuomo had a smug look on his face, "It's just the kindness of being a nobleman." β
"I need a list of the orphans, and, in person, an inventory of the orphans. The old man said in a tone as hard as an iron plate, "and, whether you mind it or not, I want a drop of your blood." β
Hearing this, Cuomo's face suddenly changed drastically, and he said to the uninvited guest in a low voice: "I see, you suspect that I have something to do with those evil creatures......"
That's right, Hua Pei's concern is not about the enemy from the north, but about the subversion within Xiao Wall. As the old saying goes, "The collapse of empires often comes from within".
You must know that Hua Pei led the Great Sage Kingdom to fight with alien monsters countless times, and many times the problem was not because he lost to the enemy on the frontal battlefield, but because the alien monsters lurked in his own team and gave his own side a fatal blow at a critical moment.
To be honest, alien monsters are really human nemesis, in addition to being stronger than humans in all aspects, not only easy to infect and transform, but also have a high degree of concealment, if there is no magical girl brought by Xue Yu, it is estimated that human beings would have been finished long ago.
However, even if their opponents are like this, humans are not willing to be extinct, and they will definitely resist with all their strength and realize the full potential of their intelligent beings.
In the face of Cuomo's chattering self-defense, the one-eyed old man did not have a trace of emotion on his face, he had to interrupt the viscount's words and waved his hand: "You are right, we do suspect you, not only you, but many others are on our screening list." β
"Alright, alright!" Cuomo retorted, "I'll prove my identity at once, so you have nothing to say." β
As he spoke, the viscount plucked a tuft of hair from his head and handed it to the one-eyed man and the soldiers.
"There is no problem with this hair...... the soldiers looked at the hair carefully, and found that nothing had changed in it, and they couldn't help but cry out in embarrassment.
According to the most popular method of detecting alien monsters in the Lion Continent, it is the easiest and most effective to observe whether the hair is plucked and changed, and the Viscount's hair seems to have proven that he is an ordinary human.
"I'm sorry for you rude fellows, I don't want to accede to your request, unless you have some better reason to do so, I won't let you harass those poor children!" Viscount Como was furious, he already had a reason to thank him.
Compared to the soldier who looked at his hair carefully, the one-eyed old man just glanced at his hair casually, easily threw it away, and said, "I want to make sure if you are wearing a wig." β
Viscount Cuomo actually allowed this request, and under the strict inspection of the soldiers, it was proved that there was no problem with the Viscount's hair, and everything indicated that he was a normal human.
"If I don't mind, can I take another drop of your blood?" the old man continued, "this is the last request, and if it's all right, we'll wait until the right time to visit the orphans." β
The viscount hesitated, but agreed to the decision, and with a hostile gaze, he sent a drop of blood in a small basin to the old man.
The one-eyed old man wiped the viscount's blood with his fingers, took the tip of his nose and sniffed it twice, and then looked at Cumo sharply with one eye: "The smell of this blood is unforgettable, even if you monsters overcome the method of identifying with hair, the taste of blood can never change." β
