49.Chapter 49
Basilica.
There was silence.
Hussein was dressed in a green robe, wearing a long crown of hair on his head, sitting quietly on the temple, not showing any breath, and the strong people around him, such as the main city lord, the commander of the forbidden army, the minister of special operations, the minister of the general army, the minister of general law, the minister of general finance, and the chief of resources...... The top leaders of these departments are in stark contrast. Everyone sat on a golden pillar, blooming with different colors of light, and the strong coercion was concentrated in His Highness dozens of meters away, like a place of judgment for the gods.
The heartbeat of more than ten people in Huangquan, the sound of even breathing, and the treacherous atmosphere are extremely clear.
Thunder and cold rhyme understand.
At this moment, Zhang Mu is in a very dangerous environment.
Because the Wind Chaser did not speak, the heads of various departments did not speak, but they all focused on Zhang Mu. Zhang Mu is not an ordinary Heavenly Spirit powerhouse, even those who have seen the evil dragon, naturally they will not be afraid of the coercion caused by the demi-saints, but despite this, he still feels that his chest is dull, and it is extremely difficult to walk.
Hussein sat up straight and asked in a calm tone, "Investigator, you are the only one of us who has entered the seal, what happened inside?" ”
Zhang Mu described the process of teleporting to the Moon Organization Base and then entering the Sealed Land in detail, and then said: "Actually, the evil dragon has awakened a long time ago, but it was hidden inside and did not come out. As long as the evil dragon is willing, he can break through the seal at any time, and there is no need for the awakening ritual organized by the 'Moon'! ”
"That's nonsense!"
Like a thunderbolt!
The voice echoed through the main hall, and several people felt their brains buzz and almost fell to the ground. The man who spoke was a descendant of a giant clan, with gold-poured skin, a metallic sheen, and a height of up to 6 meters, allowing humans to only look up.
Commander-in-Chief!
A high-powered provincial elder!
This is one of the demi-saints of Xihai City, who governs the army of the main city's military headquarters, and can also control and mobilize local troops at will, and is the person who has the largest number of troops in the entire Xihai Province. He didn't believe Zhang Mu's words, so he took the lead in standing up and refuting it.
Hussein raised his head slightly, but did not speak.
The commander-in-chief stood up and rebuked in a thunderous voice: "Governor, this is a lie made up by the investigator to shirk responsibility!" There must be a reason why the evil dragon will be born early. In my opinion, eighty percent of the commanders made errors in judgment and guided wrong behaviors, and they should be fully responsible! ”
Qiao Weier glared and shouted, "Nonsense! ”
The commander-in-chief didn't want to quarrel with Qiao Wei'er at all, but just looked at Zhang Mu aggressively, "Investigation commander, I will ask a question here, can you answer it truthfully?" ”
Zhang Mu was not angry because of the commander-in-chief's questioning, because it was normal for someone to question, and Zhang Mu had long been mentally prepared. If after Zhang Mu said everything, none of the people present had doubts, I am afraid that it would not be normal, unless the people present were all fools, or the high-level did not need to be suspicious, and privately discussed the method of dealing with Zhang Mu, which became a final decision.
"Excuse me."
The commander-in-chief snorted coldly: "Since the evil dragon has discovered you, why can you still escape from the sealed land?" Don't tell me, you can stop the dragon's attack! ”
Zhang Mu guessed that the commander-in-chief would ask this question, frowned slightly and said, "I can't explain this question. Perhaps the dragon thought I was too weak and didn't bother to do it myself, so I was spared. ”
Zhang Muneng made up several reasons, but the people present were all high-ranking and powerful, and most of them were not idle people, so they might not be able to fool the past. If it is exposed, it is dangerous, and the current statement, although full of loopholes and unconvincing, is easier to believe than a carefully concocted set of rhetoric.
The hostility on the face of the commander-in-chief was even heavier, "Nonsense! Why should the dragon let you go! ”
Zhang Mu couldn't reveal the matter of the Chaos Monument, so he just said lightly: "That's the case, otherwise, with my strength, how could I escape from the seal?" If the Minister of the General Army doesn't believe me, I can't help it! This mission will fail, I am responsible, and I am willing to be punished! ”
The commander-in-chief clenched his fists and was about to speak.
"I believe in the West Sea Survey Envoy!" The Lord of the West Sea, who was second only to Hussein, spoke, and his whole body bloomed like a dazzling sun, "There could be no better explanation than that. The evil dragon wanted to kill Zhang Mu without much effort, and Zhang Mu had no ability to fight back. The evil dragon has been sealed for tens of thousands of years, and the human race has only appeared for a few years, and it is impossible for the two sides to intersect. To say that the Terrans are secretly allied with the evil dragon, this seat categorically does not believe it. ”
The Minister General of Justice on the side stood up and said, "The Xihai Investigation Envoy is indeed suspected of collaborating with the enemy, he may have deliberately infiltrated the seal with the help of the Alliance, and released the evil dragon by special methods!" ”
The Minister of Special Operations, Josebe, then stood up: "This statement does not work logically, in the past year, the Xihai Investigation Envoy has cracked many cases of Yan zhòng's infiltration of the Yue organization, including recovering tribute, finding out the undercover city lord hidden in the place, and almost destroying the plan of 'Yue', this qiē is all doing things from the standpoint of the alliance, if it is to release the evil dragon from the beginning, why add to the snake, but arouse suspicion?" …… It's impossible for the Investigative Commander to unleash the Evil Dragon! ”
"Maybe before, the investigation envoy was indeed dedicated to doing things for the Alliance, and he also cracked a lot of 'moon' conspiracies, but we can't ignore one point, the Terran is a fickle race! There is no way to know what the Commander of the Investigation Command has experienced in the seal, maybe the evil dragon has made some kind of deal with him, given some kind of conditions or benefits, and the Investigation Commander can't resist the temptation and is sentenced to the alliance, this kind of thing is completely possible! ”
A shrill voice shouted.
"What's the difference between a dragon and an investigator and a dragon and an ant? The disparity in strength between the two sides is completely unequal, so there is no possibility of a fair deal, no matter what promise the evil dragon makes, once the seal is broken, he can kill the investigator with a casual blow. How could the investigation make it impossible to take a risk? This is a sin of desire! ”
Voices in the hall came and went.
Every voice rang out.
It was like thunder exploding.
Zhang Mu pressed the hilt of his sword with both hands, raised his head with his chest straight, calmly, and stood in the center of the hall like a javelin-like pen, letting the demi-saints argue, as if nothing had anything to do with it.
The high-level leaders of Xihai were divided into two or three factions, one of which was dominated by Qiao Saibei and the main city lord, and chose to believe in Zhang Mu. The other faction was led by the commander-in-chief, who believed that even if Zhang Mu did not betray, it was because of some kind of mistake that led to the birth of the evil dragon, and resolutely advocated severe punishment. The two factions were pitted against each other, and there was also a silent faction, including Barre, the commander of the Praetorian Army, and Josébe, the governor of the province, who had not spoken.
"That's enough."
Hussein spoke suddenly.
Both sides shut up at the same time, and silence returned to the hall.
Hussein said lightly: "The evil dragon comes from ancient times, and there are very few records of materials and documents, and no one can really understand the characteristics of the evil dragon. Investigating the act of deepening the seal was an extremely risky move, and although it did not succeed in preventing the evil dragon from being born, it was not his fault that lay the blame. I believe that the investigation is innocent, and this is the end of the discussion of this matter, and in the current great enemy, we should work together to fight against the evil dragon army, and not waste our experience on meaningless things. ”
"This ......"
The commander-in-chief just needs to shut up.
Hussein smiled indifferently, nodded to Zhang Mu and said: "Zhang Mu investigated the conspiracy hidden in the devil's sea, and regardless of his own safety, he went deep into the extreme danger, although he failed to complete the task, but his spirit is worthy of praise. I announce that Zhang Mu will immediately serve as the deputy minister of special operations, be promoted to the title of Zhengjin, reward contribution of 100,000, green crystal coins of 1 million, in the next time, I hope you will fight for Xihai City! Every credit you make, the league will keep in mind, and after the difficult times have passed, you will definitely be rewarded. ”
Although Hussein did not punish him, but instead promoted Zhang Mu's title and military position, Zhang Mu was not happy, because Zhang Mu was not very optimistic about the situation in the West Sea, and the momentum of the Evil Dragon Legion was too great. It is very difficult for the Green Alliance to stop Naga's eastward advance in Xihai Province.
Josébe asked, "Governor, haven't the central reinforcements arrived yet?" ”
Hussein replied: "After I reported the situation, the central government replied, telling us to hold on to Xihai Province for a while, and the alliance reinforcements will arrive soon!" ”
Everyone was silent.
This order was no different from not replying, without stating how many reinforcements there were, what kind of troops were sent, and how many Sages were dispatched. It's just a simple comfort, God knows when the reinforcements will arrive, the four saints of Naga are not in vain, and they are wantonly pulling in the indigenous forces of the West Sea, and the mysterious and powerful evil dragon is behind it, with the strength of the West Sea Province alone, can it last for a few days?
If the central government allows the order to evacuate, the head of Xihai City will not hesitate to leave, although giving up the rich land that has been painstakingly cultivated for a hundred years can at least save a life.
As soon as this order to stick to it came out, it almost sealed the way out.
People can't leave for any reason, otherwise it's a betrayal of the alliance.
Hussein seemed to have guessed what everyone was thinking, and immediately spoke: "Ladies and gentlemen, although the central government has not given a clear reply for reinforcements, there is no need to worry. I believe that the alliance will not give up Xihai Province, and the clan will not give up on me. Here, I make a promise to you. Ten days, as long as you hold on for ten days, the alliance's reinforcements will definitely arrive! ”
As soon as the words of the Wind Chaser came out.
Everyone was relieved.
The promise of the sage still carries a lot of weight. In fact, if you think about it carefully, Xihai Province is so rich and has such great potential, how can the alliance, as one of the eight major forces, be willing to let go? If a few cities are taken by a Naga clan, the central government will be so frightened that they can't shrink back, wouldn't the Green Alliance be too cowardly? I am afraid that it will cause a series of negative reactions, such as a large number of grassroots citizens will doubt the strength of the alliance, and even more will lose their sense of security, and begin to give up holding green crystal coins, convert a large number of huàn into gold coins, and even prepare to leave the alliance.
Take a step back.
Hussein is still in the province of the West Sea, Hussein is not an ordinary person, but a holy spirit! The Green Alliance is one of the eight major forces with the largest number of saints, but all the Holy Spirits add up to only a few thirty or forty, and any one Holy Spirit is a very valuable resource. Hussein is not only the Holy Spirit, but also the Holy Spirit of the High Elves, who are the founders and main members of the Green Alliance, among which is a Great Holy Named Holy Spirit Being.
If the High Elves do not give up Hussein, they will definitely strongly demand reinforcements at the alliance meeting. The High Elves have a pivotal position in the Green Alliance, and if the Holy Spirit of several High Elves comes forward, it will be difficult for the Alliance to refuse their will.
No matter what it takes!
Hold on for 10 days!
(At the end of the operation, it was quite smooth, and I finally came out alive.) It's just a severe sore throat, swollen near the tonsils close to the size of a walnut, and it's difficult to drink water, let alone eat, and I hope to recover soon. )
