Chapter 100: The Origin
"What?" Liya was stunned, and walked a few steps forward before she saw Scarface standing opposite, and quickly asked, "Who are you?"
Demps was already shocked when he heard Kane's words, and when he saw Leah coming over, he hurriedly asked, "Are you really a descendant of General Brin?"
Leah thought for a moment before she said solemnly: "General Brin is my grandfather, my father is Louis, and my uncle is Leo!"
"It's... How is this possible!" Demps on the other side didn't know what to say, if he knew that the so-called enemy was actually the descendant of General Brin, then he would not dare to do anything to a few people even if he desperately disobeyed the order, not to mention that General Brinn was a respectable person, even if she was just a family member of an ordinary general, he would not do it, after all, they were all a family in the military world.
What's more, now that General Brin and Leo have just sacrificed their lives for the country, it is too late to feel this righteousness, how dare they do it to their families at this time.
"Strange?" Kane was also furious, "So you must not even know that the second prince of the empire standing next to you is unknown?"
"Second Prince James?" Demps was shocked again, James was the person Marquis of Bryn ordered them to protect desperately before he died, "This is impossible, then who are you?"
Kane smiled: "I am Kane of the Rett family, the grandson of Blair Magister, and now the husband of Leah and the grandson-in-law of General Bryn!"
"You're Kane?"
"Why, you've heard of me?"
Demps frowned and nodded, and after speaking, he seemed to think of something, "No, if what you said is true, then what about the orcs in the back, how can you collude with them?"
Kane glared at him, "If it weren't for that, how could you make a move against us without any doubt!" Now I can only say that we have all been calculated, that person first let us meet a few poor and helpless orcs, and expected that we must be kind enough to save them, and then let people lead us into your encirclement, so that you can attack us mercilessly, and even make you unable to talk to us, what a cruel intention!"
"I ask you, who exactly gave your order?!"
When Demps heard him say that, he thought about the things before and after, although he couldn't guarantee that what he said was 100% true, but he couldn't help but believe seven or eight points at once, and immediately sat down on the ground in frustration, shook his head and said, "What the hell have we done!"
Kane limped over with Bert's support, "That calculating person must have expected you to carry out orders without doubt before letting you make a move, so you must be a person who speaks well in the army, such a quality is worthy of praise, but these people who died tonight are all innocent, they even died worthless, died extremely rich, do you still want to protect that person?"
Demps sighed, "A few days ago there was a man, he claimed to be the envoy of His Majesty the King, but his appearance was very strange, and he did not look for the chief general of the defenders, but asked to see me by name, after I went, he handed me a secret letter, told me not to ask anything, just follow it, and he also took out a very important thing to confirm the identity of his envoy, saying that this matter can only be done in secret, even the other generals in the army can not tell, if I leak half a point, I will be killed..."
"I opened the secret letter and saw that it said that there were several people with special identities who secretly colluded with the orcs and wanted to bring out an important piece of information in the empire, which would pose a very serious threat to the empire, so I asked me to secretly execute these people, the letter said that I only need to take people to a place to ambush, and then naturally someone will cooperate with my actions, and these people are extremely dangerous, so I must not say half a word to them, just kill them by thunder means to avoid future troubles, and pay off..."
"Who is it?" asked James quickly.
Demps shook his head, "It's Victor, the eldest prince!"
The group was surprised after hearing this, obviously a little skeptical of this result, Kane thought for a while and said: "No, although Victor is now the eldest prince, he has no real power in his hands, and it is impossible to mobilize you, the general of the army!"
Demps shook his head, "I'm guessing this letter was only sent in the name of the Grand Prince, but what really issued the order was... Others, because the thing that the person took out was a royal military machine signal!"
This military aircraft signaling is a very complex token, generally divided into two halves, half in the hands of the army commander, and the other half is kept by the king himself, during the war will also be handed over to the department in charge of the military aircraft management, to mobilize the army will send someone to take half of the signal and the other half of the main general's hand together, after confirming that it is correct, the main general will obey the order to transfer troops.
But in addition to this, there is another piece, this piece is not divided into two halves, but a whole, this token only belongs to the king or prince, the power is not as great as the previous one, it can only be used for a small range of military movements, to put it bluntly, it is a proof of identity, see the signal as if you see the king.
That person should be the latter piece.
It is conceivable what a few people felt after hearing it, Kane immediately affirmed that this person was definitely sent by the king, and it had nothing to do with Victor at all, and the reason why he used the name of Victor was just to set up suspicions to avoid being difficult to shirk after the matter was revealed, although he couldn't figure out why he wanted to shirk, but this inference should be the most reasonable at present.
The main point is that the king definitely didn't expect Clarence to say so much about Kane and them, so they must suspect that Kane must have suspected that Victor did all this, and when they heard this, they would only consider whether it was Victor who stole the national order to do bad things, and would not suspect him.
It is undeniable that Kane would have thought that way if it hadn't been for Clarence's words that day, after all, in the eyes of ordinary people, the king has no motive to murder them, he is already the master of this empire, everything here is his, and he can completely know who he wants to kill, and there is no need to stab him from behind.
"I think it's pretty clear. Kane said to Bert next to him, "Go and call them all." β
Bethel nodded and agreed, and brought Shirley and the others over, along with Bill, who was missing both hands.
"What's going on?" asked Shirley as soon as she arrived.
Kane smiled bitterly, "It's okay, everything is a misunderstanding, we were calculated." After saying that, he turned to look at Bill, "I think now you can tell us who you really are, right?"
"It's you!" but Demps on the other side exclaimed as soon as he saw Bill.
Kane frowned, "You know him?"
Demps glared at Bill as well, "His name is Bill, and he's my subordinate..."
Bill was also stunned when he saw Demps, as if he wondered why he was here.
Kane was in pain and couldn't move, and turned his head to Bert, who understood and threw Bill to the ground, drawing his sword and aiming it at his throat.
Bill bared his teeth in pain, but he couldn't hold back his scream.
"Finally, I will give you a chance to explain, if you don't say it, you can only go to the underworld. Kane said with a blank face.
Bill looked up at Temples and knew that he must have said everything, so he didn't hold on, "A few days ago a man came to me with a letter from the king, and he arranged for me to do all this, and he promised to promote me to lieutenant general afterwards. β
It was this person again, and several of them gritted their teeth, and Kane looked back at the pitiful-looking Bethany and asked, "And who are they?"
Bill frowned, "They were indeed brought out by me from Black Mist Town, of course I don't know if that place is called Black Mist Town or not, the man just said that if I am captured, I will say as before, and then let me find a way to bring you here." β
Kane smiled, "You're also a person, you can even skip your life for the position of lieutenant general, I want to ask you, how did that man expect that you to be captured and not killed on the spot?"
Bill's eyes froze, " Because of a lie, that person said that the most powerful among you is just an intermediate swordsman, with my skills it is impossible to be killed, or even injured, it is based on this that I dare to do this, originally according to the plan I will wait for you to fight almost and then pretend that you can't beat you, and you can't kill me, in this case, I naturally have a great chance of being captured, and I will take the opportunity to escape after leading you here, but I didn't expect all this to be a scam, I was wasted by your face, and things fell into a situation that I couldn't predict, but...β
"That's it. Kane suddenly interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "Then, you can die in peace!" After speaking, without waiting for Bert to make a move, he directly hit an ice arrow, and Bill's head was shot through in an instant, and he couldn't die anymore.
Although there were many people present, no one thought it was cruel, because this kind of death was already very comfortable compared to what he had done.
James thought for a moment and said, "It seems that our situation is even more dangerous than imagined, so let's get out of here and find a safe place first." β
"There's no hurry. Kane glanced around, "We are indeed dangerous now, but the enemies around us are far more terrible than those who cannot be seen!"
After speaking, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Baroque coldly, "Let me ask you, who did you meet during the day?!"
"My lord, thisβ" Bert wanted to say something, but was glared back by Kane's eyes.
Baroque, on the other hand, just stood there in a daze, and did not speak.
"Priestess Shirley, I'm in trouble. Kane said to Shirley next to her.
Shirley nodded, and suddenly an arrow of light shot towards the baroque, Bert didn't expect Kane to really bear to kill them, and hurriedly screamed and wanted to go up to stop it, but was pulled by Kane, "Stop, do you think they are still your brothers?"
Sure enough, as soon as Kane's words came out, the scene of the Baroque being shot through as originally imagined by everyone did not appear, only to see a large cloud of black gas suddenly rise from his body, and he fled into the darkness with a whoosh.
