At the same time, the Regent Shomo, who was sitting in a room in the back hall of the Inner City Council Chamber, could not hold back his excitement, for he had just seen smoke billowing from the very city of Doret - it was part of the plan that Stanley, the chief of the General Staff, had told him that the plan was being carried out.

The captain of the guard, Leland, was still guarding the door of the regent's room, but the only person in the room, the regent Xiumo, was already impatient, waiting for the great change that had been agreed upon. He was looking forward to it in his heart, only a few more hours later, and the widow mercenary group, which had already gained the trust of the invading army of the East Oguna Empire, would be able to leap up, capture all the enemy commanders from within, and then overthrow more than 200,000 invading troops.

In order to hide the joy in his heart, the regent Xiumo has been wearing a sullen "mask" for the past few days, in order to wait for that moment to come.

The time goes back to the end of the defense meeting on that day.

The regent Xiumo put the seven nobles and several others under house arrest in the unfinished palace in the inner city. In the room of the defense council, only the deputy head of the widow mercenary group, Myra, and the regent Xiumo were left, and even the captain of the guard, Leland, who had been protecting the regent, went down one floor, and did not dare to stand outside the door to protect them.

"Deputy Regiment Commander Myra just now is really leaky, obviously Your Excellency brought back the enemy's troop distribution map from the command camp of the East Oguna Empire's invading army, but Your Excellency the Deputy Regiment Commander still pretended to be a little surprised, and looked at the troop distribution map scroll meticulously. ”

Wearing strange armor and having had her chest amputated, Myra smiled crookedly, sat down in her position and said slowly: "Since the mercenary guild hopes to be able to get that life weapon as a reward when attacking Duke Pobo and Lady Purple in the future, we will definitely not let the invading army of the East Oguna Empire succeed this time." ”

The regent Xiu Mo nodded, he had already been in contact with some insiders of the mercenary union, and knew that the purpose of the widow mercenary group, which was one of the nine mercenary groups, was to send Myra for the legendary life weapon in the hands of Duke Pobo. But the Lord Regent had no idea that this was nothing more than a lie concocted by the widow mercenary group and the mercenary union. Their purpose was not the East Oguna Empire, but the weapon of life in the hands of St. Golia. The Lord Regent did not know that Marven of His Majesty's Knightly Mercenary Regiment had already killed Juan and taken away the Crossbow of Mockery at Riverland Castle, nor did he know that the Holy Maiden Golia also had a weapon of life in his hand.

Xiumo was not a ruler who believed in the existence of life weapons, and he always believed that he was using the mercenary guild as his internal counterpart, waiting for an opportunity to overthrow the invading army in one fell swoop. Moreover, the remuneration proposed by the mercenary deputy commander Myra is also very small - that is, when the Western Oguna Empire counterattacks the eastern border in the future, he will leave the things of Duke Pobo and Lady Purple to the mercenary union, especially the weapon.

The regent Xiu Mo was already overjoyed to pay for a weapon that he didn't know if it really possessed power, and the regent had already conducted an investigation a few days after obtaining this secret troop distribution map, and confirmed that it was correct. But he never imagined that he had fallen into the trap of the mercenary union from the very beginning.

Myra informs the Lord Regent that the widow mercenary group has the trust of Saresa and the prime minister, Hollow, and leads all the mercenaries who follow the invading army into the west. The head of the group, Reese, is also a powerful woman and a feminist, so she was able to establish a very close relationship with the wasteland python Saresa. Although the invading army of the East Oguna Empire will not become much stronger because of the mercenaries joining, it is a good thing that it has the support of the mercenary union.

However, Myla also said that she would return to her head of the group as soon as she attended the meeting. She said that she would keep in touch with the Regent, and at the last minute inform the Regent and Chief of Staff Stanley that they would have the time of unrest and capture the commander of the invading army in one fell swoop.

Although the Lord Regent was a little suspicious in his heart, he had conducted a secret investigation of the mercenary group and the deputy commander a few days after Myra arrived in Doret City with the secret troop distribution map. The widow mercenary group is indeed among the invading army, and this mercenary group has not yet fought its own army, as if it is just a mercenary group that follows the march but stays out of the way. The troop distribution map scroll was also compared with all the information obtained before, and it was found that the authenticity of this troop distribution map scroll was extremely high, and it also solved many problems that were quite doubtful before. The most important thing is that the regent Xiumo has a good relationship with the two mercenary group leaders of the mercenary union, so he trusts the widow mercenary group, and even in order to show his sincerity, he let this mercenary named Myra sit in the position of the defense council.

Shumo also wanted to use this as a final test - he had made some secret decisions at the defense council, which had all been heard by Myra, and if Myra sold this information to Saresa, it would certainly deal a certain blow to the emerging regime in the West, but the regent Shumo was also ready to secretly transfer some troops to areas that might have a bad impact due to the leak of information. As a result, after waiting for more than ten days, there was no situation where the widow mercenary group betrayed itself, but because of hesitation and fear of success, they did not quickly send a mobile force to intercept Saresa who broke through and entered the rear of the defense line of Yiwang City.

So by the time the memories were put away, the regent was already clasping his hands in each other, looking out the window at the wisps of smoke. That was Stanley's signal to himself that after Derek was captured, the Chief of the General Staff would take all the enemy's forces to attack the city. The widow mercenary group also sent a secret letter, saying that they would take action in the decisive battle of the siege. At this time, Reese and Myra of the widow mercenary group will definitely catch all the generals and commanders of the invading army in the enemy's camp as long as they follow the original agreement, and they will be hit with one blow.

But just then, the captain of the guard, Leland, pushed open the door, and a young man was standing outside.

"Lord Regent, the villain is Elne, the servant of the Holy Maiden," Elne, who had black curly hair, was dressed in a loose white robe, "Lord Golia, the Holy Maiden, has a message to pass on to the Lord Regent personally, please allow me" He said this, bowed his head slightly, and said no more.

The regent knew what the other man meant, and he waved his hand to let Leland close the door before letting him in.

"Just say what, I'm watching the invasion attack"

Just as the regent Xiumo was responding impatiently, suddenly something that had happened a long time ago appeared in his mind.

When he was a child, he used to be a nobleman from a famous family, but due to interests, his family was framed by some high-ranking nobles of the Oguna Empire, resulting in his parents and other relatives being killed one by one. And he and his younger brother Montrey also became pawns of those high-ranking nobles, used to show their mercy after being vicious-both himself and Montrey were raised richly, and let the two brothers get an official position in the western border of the empire, which was regarded as a little compensation for the two helpless sons of nobles. And those high-ranking nobles also gained more support because of such a move.

These are my most painful experiences, and I don't want to talk about the past. Before he became the lord of Doret City and the general of the Oguna Empire, Xiumo had long hated those high-ranking nobles, and the families of Electrom and Prime Minister Hollow were also accomplices of these high-ranking nobles, and he had already hated them to the core. It wasn't until he made many achievements, rose to prominence with his ability and charm, and had many supporters, that he came into contact with some people with the same ambitions as him. And the last person to know was St. Golia, who knew very well that Saint Gloria and himself were just using each other, but they had to show great intimacy with each other.

Every scene of his life suddenly appeared in his mind, the picture was extremely real, and the people and things in it were vivid. Xiu Mo also heard what his sister said when she was dying: "Our family can only leave two children, let my sister die instead of you and my brother, you have to live!"

Although it had been many years ago, it still made Xiu Mo unable to hold back tears. A regent who had reached the peak of his power was sitting in his place, his eyes open, staring blankly ahead, silently shedding tears.

Ayrne looked at the Lord Regent in front of him, he lowered the hand he had just raised, and slowly walked out of the room. Leland, the captain of the guard, glanced warily into the room, and saw that the regent was sitting sideways, looking lost in thought, and probably not coming back to his senses for the whole day.

"Alas, my spiritual magic is still not at home, and I can't see the memories in the Regent's mind at all!" said to Ayrne as he walked away, whispering to himself, looking a little annoyed.
