Chapter 439: Investigation
"Well done!"
After listening to the report, Boothman Rolland patted the armrest of the throne and got up from his chair excitedly. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info This beautiful sentence is not so much a commendation to your subordinates as it is a compliment to yourself.
The military bosses didn't know the inside story, but he Busman Roland knew that his messenger had already brought back the news a month ago that Horanster had not only happily accepted the mission, but also that when the messenger left the ancient city of Aogu, the mercenary team of the bandits had already set off at the same time.
So at this time, there is only one possibility, that is, the mercenaries actually succeeded, and some of them also happened to be involved in this matter, which just covered up the truth behind the scenes.
The Bols bandits, which had not been eliminated for many years, were easily solved by a little trickery by themselves, and Boothman Rowland's pride was indescribable for a while, this incident at least proved that he was not ambitious and talented, as some old guys said, but he didn't find the right opportunity to play.
However, the overjoyed Boothman Rolland did not rush to announce the news, but continued to wait for more evidence. The wait did not take long, and a large amount of evidence, including the captives of the horse bandits, was personally escorted by Captain Ford, and the most striking of the exhibits was the head of Bols.
Although embalming measures were taken after many days, Bols's head was still somewhat rotten, and the Imperial War Department had to send his colleagues who were most familiar with Pols to identify the head, and finally concluded that the owner of the head sent was Bols. As for the corpse of the other bandit leader, Emaar, according to Captain Ford, it was due to a mistake in casting a spell during the battle, and as a result, the body was destroyed by the out-of-control magical energy. It was also because of this bombing that the door to the horse bandits' lair was opened, and even Bols was seriously injured by the explosion, and other horse bandits were killed and injured heavily, which is the real reason why Ford was able to break the Bols bandits.
The military bosses finally accepted this explanation with half a doubt, but they didn't know that it took Allen a night to come up with.
As for dealing with the more than 1,000 horses led by Captain Ford, why it was necessary for Emaar to release a large fire-based magic, and there was a mistake, there are various theories. And the most widely circulated of them is that Captain Ford was in front of the two armies, and the tiger's body was shocked, which frightened Emaar's tongue into a knot, and the magic spell was interrupted in the middle of the process, and then the tragedy happened.
At the behest of Emperor Higg, the military department immediately began to publicize the exploits of Battalion Commander Ford's suppression of bandits, and the news spread, coupled with the fact that someone was behind it. For a time, Ford was boasted by the people that he was a god, and his clever use of troops was simply not under Moses Trorence, after all, Moses only managed to destroy the Bols rebels, and Ford is now uprooting the Bols horse bandits, never suffering in the future, and has done what even the Holy See has not done all these years.
The Higg military department rewarded him with meritorious deeds and promoted Captain Ford to three levels in a row, and directly became a lieutenant general of the empire, which was already the same level as Pouls before he rebelled from Higg, and Emperor Higg personally ordered that his status be directly promoted from a knight to an imperial viscount.
To the surprise of many people, Cardinal Raphael did not come out to interfere with the matter of adding officials to Ford, on the one hand, because Raphael had known about Ford, this person's performance in the army cannot be said to be inactive, but it is definitely not brilliant enough, originally relying on the luck of defeating the horse bandit squad last year to become the captain is already the limit of his development in the army, but I didn't expect the Bols bandits to bring him far more luck than this, this kind of person grows up, the more power the Higg military has, the better it is for the Holy See, and the other reason is because Raphael is now busy finding out the real behind-the-scenes protagonist of the elimination of the Bols bandits, I don't have the energy to fight with Busman Roland for this.
Regarding the statement that General Ford led the Higg army to sweep away the Bolsma bandits, Raphael almost didn't laugh after learning about the so-called bandits, and the rumors about Ford's descent to earth were even more scoffing, and he even tried to go to His Majesty Boothman Rolland to clarify the matter, but helplessly, Boothman Rolland not only believed that this was true, but also proudly told him that Ford had done all this under his secret instructions.
So Raphael quickly came to a conclusion that Busman Rolland was pretending to be confused, but why did he pretend to be confused? There is only one possibility, that is, Boothman Rolland is behind this incident, but what the hell Boothman Rolland is doing, no one in the Holy See knows, at the request of Cardinal Raphael, the Holy See's power in Higg immediately moved and began various investigations. However, the results of the investigation surprised them even more, the Higg military did not make any abnormal movements during this period, including the key suspect Moses Trorens, who did not show any anomalous behavior, and stayed at his home in Marin City, and the human and material evidence was conclusive.
There are various indications that during this period, except for a large group of border guards led by Ford, the Hig Empire did not take substantive action against the Bolsma bandits, and all major military districts were on standby, even if the Ford border guards who ostensibly participated in the suppression of bandits, they were temporary operations and did not have any preparations in advance.
Suppressing bandits is a fair and honest thing, even if the Holy See has hidden evil intentions, it must be fully supported on the surface, but if the matter of hiring mercenaries to eliminate horse bandits leaks out, it will be a small move behind the back of the Holy See, and the nature will be serious, so Boothman Roland's secrecy work this time is very good, and his contact with the mercenaries is completely done by his close cronies, and even the military department is kept in the dark, so the information that the Holy See can obtain from the Higg government and the opposition is really limited.
Since Higg had no problem, Raphael had no choice but to turn his attention to Yous in the north, and it is said that Yuss had no motive to attack the Bolsma bandits, but there are no absolutes in the world, and it is better to be cautious. Raphael immediately used his relationship in Yuz to investigate Yus, and the results quickly came back, the elimination of the Pols horse bandits has nothing to do with the Yus Empire, because when the news of the elimination of the Pols horse bandits came, the top management of the Pols horse bandits was studying the matter of further assistance to the Bols horse bandits, if they wanted to eliminate the Bols horse bandits, they would not do so much of this, after all, Yus is not Higg, they are not worried about offending the Holy See, so there is no need to cover up if they really want to deal with Bols.
Looking at the results of the investigation, Cardinal Raphael frowned, he was both confused and a little surprised. What puzzled was who killed Bols by what means, and what was surprising was that his forces were unaware.
Could it be that Busman Rolland still has a hidden power in the shadows that has not been used? If so, it will be a great threat to the Holy See.
Raphael became nervous, and he immediately wrote a letter to Winston urgently sending his investigation and analysis, and asked the Church Emperor S. Hepburn to immediately assist in the investigation.
