Chapter 1693: The Truth About the Riots
"It's simple, time. "I don't know if the Imperial War Department got this information, but it happened to be the time when you were taking back Ingneil's lab from Dobby. ”
Sebastian looked embarrassed, as the military headquarters was overwhelmed by the sudden riot, and inevitably ignored information about Alfie and his party. Even Skal and the others, who had been secretly tracking them, had not collected more accurate information.
Of course, there are objective reasons such as the sudden outbreak of riots and the lack of manpower outside the Wall of Sighs in the Imperial Military Department, but the most important thing is that Sebastian did not pay enough attention to Alfi at that time, which was in a sense his dereliction of duty.
"In the process of retaking the lab, we had a violent confrontation with Dobby, and although Dobby was eliminated by us, the fragments of the Chapter of the Machine fell into the river along with him. "I guess Dobby triggered something before he died, causing the fragments of the Chapter of the Machines to release mechanical powers, echoing the mechanical powers he had mixed into the warships before, and finally causing this riot." ”
"Did you sense the mechanical powers?" Sebastian asked.
"At that time, I hadn't yet obtained the inheritance of mechanical divine power, so naturally I couldn't sense it. Alfie said with regret, although they felt that the golden gear in Dobby's hand was not ordinary, they did not expect that it was a precious fragment of the mechanical chapter. Otherwise, they'll definitely find a way to get their hands on the golden gears.
That sounds like the only plausible explanation. Master Madison looked at Sebastian, who was still pondering.
"Why do you say this was a long-planned accident?" Sebastian still had doubts in his mind.
"If it weren't for the fact that we were going to take back the Ingniel Laboratory, the mechanical divine power in those warships wouldn't have been triggered by the Machine Chapter. As for the long-term planning—" Alfie asked with a serious look at Sebastian, "Do you really think Dobby is so kind as to use his mechanical powers to help you build an armada?"
"What do you mean......" Sebastian asked reluctantly.
"Dobby is an ambitious guy. I can assure him that he had the idea of seizing control of the Armada. Alfie said unceremoniously, "Maybe you should be glad that the riot broke out unexpectedly in advance, otherwise when you command the Armada to sweep across the continent, and then Dobby suddenly seizes control of the Armadada, I am afraid that the one who dominates the continent will be a dwarf." That's a big scandal!"
Both Sebastian and Madison were silent, and Alfie's speculation was likely to come true, in which case they would both be nailed to the Empire's pillar of shame.
"And one last question, why there is not a single rebellion against the warships where the Imperial Army is stationed. Sebastian guessed why, but he didn't know why.
"It's simple. Dobby's mechanical divine power left in each warship is too little, once someone controls it, the control effect of the mechanical divine power cannot resist the control of people, and naturally there will be no rebellion. Alfie shrugged, believing that it was entirely a tragedy caused by Sebastian's negligence.
Neither Sebastian nor Master Madison thought that the mystery of the unmanned warship riot that had plagued them for a long time would be easily solved by Alfie, who was just hoping to get a clue from Alfie. It seems that Alfie can really bring them some unexpected surprises.
"That's why I say that this riot ultimately comes down to your arrogance. Alfie, of course, would not pass up any opportunity to strike Sebastin, gloating, "If you had stationed people on every warship, such a tragedy would not have happened." Unfortunately, your mistake buried four-fifths of the Armada. ”
"This is indeed my negligence, but it is also a problem that cannot be solved, after all, in order to keep secrets, the Imperial Military Department has extremely limited personnel sent outside the Wall of Sighs, and it is impossible to have enough people on every warship. Sebastian sighed helplessly. If the Imperial army entered Greenland on a large scale, it would definitely cause alarm for the bandits.
Of course, the Imperial army will not be afraid of these wild forces, but the real purpose of their arrival here is to build an invincible armada, not to suppress bandits, and if those bandit groups find out their true purpose and secretly sabotage, the Imperial army will be overwhelmed.
Alfie shrugged as soon as Sebastian said that this was a dilemma, but fortunately it had little to do with him, and it seemed that the worse the losses of the Armada were, the better it would be for him, after all, the two sides had basically made it clear that they were on opposite sides by now.
"It turned out that Dobby guy was doing the trick, no wonder we couldn't find him after that. Master Madison said angrily.
"It is said that Dobby is not dead, and it seems that he has sneaked back to the imperial capital, I think you should work more on this. Alfie said sinisterly. He vaguely knew from Robert V that Dobby had returned to the Imperial Capital, but he didn't have time to track down Dobby's whereabouts, and he was reluctant to keep Dobby's mechanical chapter fragment in his hand, so he took this opportunity to leak the news to the Imperial Military Department and asked the Imperial Military Department to find Dobby's trouble.
Alfie believes that after suffering such a big loss, the Imperial Military Department will definitely not easily let go of Duobi, and the magical effect of the fragments of the mechanical chapter is also something that the military department cannot give up, especially since their focus has been on the Invincible Armada, a purely mechanical creation force.
"If your message is true, I owe you a favor. Sebastian said after a moment of silence.
"That's great, why don't I use this favor now, how about you let me go?" Alfie immediately lost no time in shaking her cleverness.
"Until Dobby was caught, the favor was not valid. Sebastian gave Alfie an angry look, did this guy take them all for fools?
"Oh well. Alfie said unsurprised, "But since I have done you such a great favor, I wonder how you can repay me?"
"I'll help you solve a puzzle too. Sebastian replied without a leak.
"What's the point, with my clever brain, there's no doubt at all!" Alfie said cheekily.
Master Madison frustrated his forehead, and there was no doubt that Alfie was swollen again.
Master Madison just wanted to make a round, and Alfie patted his head: "By the way, I really have a question, how do you determine Xiao Yun's talent for seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages?"
