Chapter 271: Closing the Net
Chapter 271: Closing the Net
Suddenly, a rush of footsteps sounded outside the door, and the Marquis raised his head slightly, and a dragoon covered in black armor appeared in front of the door.
"Sir, someone wants to see you!"
Philip frowned slightly, it was already late at night now, who else would come to see him?
"Who?" asked Philip.
The dragon knight took a few steps forward and handed over a very delicately crafted magic crystal ring, and said, "He won't say it, but the lord will know it when he sees this ring." ”
Philip took the ring and looked at it carefully, suddenly his eyes lit up slightly, and a fighting spirit emanated, he suddenly let out a low sigh, and said, "Go, invite the distinguished guest to the study immediately." ”
Soon, a mysterious man with his whole body hidden under a black robe was led in by the dragon knight. After waving his hand to repel all the knights, Philip stared at this mysterious man coldly for a while, and suddenly laughed and said: "Visiting late at night, I think Your Excellency has thought through my original proposal! Haha, as long as you and I cooperate happily, as long as I Philip can help you do it, you can come to me!"
The Marquis's heroism did not make the black-robed man react in any way. I saw that this mysterious man slowly untied the black robe that shrouded his body, revealing an old face of vicissitudes, it was Elder Koneff.
Although he was not in charge of Aragorn's intelligence, he was in the imperial capital and remotely controlled the organization activities of the Bright Empire, and Nikov had some contact with the Marquis. Once upon a time, the Marquis also wanted to reach some cooperation projects with him, but at that time, it was limited to the old guy from Beavis, and Nikov did not dare to agree.
When Beavis just died, the Marquis also tried to win over several elders within the organization again, but Cornif was busy fighting with Colvin for part of the organization's personnel appointment and dismissal, so naturally he didn't have time to deal with Philip. But at this time, after suffering a series of continuous assassination attempts, Cornif had to take risks to save himself.
Cornif smiled faintly and said, "Lord Marquis is so enthusiastic, how dare I, Cornif, refuse? Before, it was only because of the presence of Lord Beavis that I had to refuse politely, but now the Great Elder has let a yellow-haired boy with a milky smell and dry ........."
Konev paused slightly, and after Philip showed a look of interest on his face, he continued: "As long as the Marquis can promise me one thing, then I will share all the information on the Bright Empire with your lord in the future!"
Cornif's words made Philip feel calm, all the information on the side of the Empire of Light! This is a huge temptation, especially for him who is in charge of the dragoon troops, this undoubtedly allows him to take a lot of initiative politically and militarily? As for the yellow-haired boy he said, hehe!
Philip smiled and motioned for Cornif to continue.
Cornif's eyes froze, staring closely into the eyes of the Marquis of Philip, and he said word by word: "Kill him!"
Yes, kill Angelo, that is, Aaron. The third elder of the organization, Koneff, only needs to use the power at his disposal to temporarily paralyze the organization's intelligence network in the imperial capital. As long as Philip can kill the Great Elder, the power of the organization may not be able to find direct evidence to prove that he is one of the culprits behind the scenes.
The two great elders, the old and the new, died one after another, and the organization was bound to shake civil strife, and when the time came, he could take advantage of the situation and seize the center of power.
Although he had expected that Koniv would come to the door to seek cooperation, Konyf's words still made Philip's heart shake several times.
Kill Aaron, a knight with power between the Golden Rank and the Sanctuary?
From what had been reported from the city guards earlier, Aaron was able to float up without releasing any force. But the few contacts he had with the other party were obviously only at the level of the Golden Realm, and although the aura was very mysterious, he didn't have the feeling that the powerhouse of the Holy Realm gave him.
Although in normal times, this is indeed a bit difficult, and more importantly, the other party is still the identity of the Great Elder of the Dark Left Hand, an underground organization. However, as long as he Philip showed the strongest power in his hands, it was not without a chance to complete this impossible task. On the contrary, if you are all-or-nothing, the odds of success are not low, at least five or five.
The only thing that makes Marquis Philip jealous now is the identity of the Grand Elder. For this underground organization with huge power, Philip knows far more about his horror than others, and even the royal families of various countries have acquiesced to the existence of this organization in the country, which can be imagined. Although he has the Morgan family as a backer, once he clashes head-on with the organization, it is difficult to ensure that the Morgan family will not be involved. Therefore, he had never been able to make up his mind whether to officially turn his face with the dark left hand, or whether he should directly slaughter the bastard who sent killers to assassinate him in a row!
Now, the third elder of the organization took the initiative to invite himself to join forces to deal with this newly appointed imp, so the reasonableness and feasibility of this matter are worth studying.
Seeing that Philip was lost in thought, Koneff was not unhurried. Since he was able to come to the door in person, he naturally had a certain degree of certainty that Philip would accept it. What's more, killing the Great Elder was originally a big decision, and if Philip readily agreed, then he would still be worried!
After taking a few sips of warm liquor to warm his body, Nickoff spoke: "Is the Marquis doubting my sincerity or still harboring the illusion that ......he can reconcile with the Great Elder?"
Konev paused slightly, his voice gradually became a little excited, and said, "This mad dog bites when it sees someone." Your Excellency, did you know that this mad dog assassinated dozens of meritorious veterans of our organization as soon as he took office, and now he has sent assassins to assassinate me repeatedly. If it weren't for the fact that the power in my hands wasn't weak, I'm afraid I wouldn't see me again tonight. ”
After venting some of the dissatisfaction and resentment in his heart in one breath, Cornif's face gradually calmed down, calmed down a little, and eased up: "...... And if you still think you can reconcile with him, hehe......"
Philip's face was also shocked, and when he heard Cornif's words, the tiger's eyes were restrained, and he hummed softly: "So what?"
Corniff smiled coldly and said, "Hey, Lord Marquis, do you remember that sister-in-law of Lord Blair?"
"Uh...... I have a little impression, what does this have to do with her?" said Philip, pretending to be stupid. In fact, he probably guessed that perhaps Aaron's repeated destruction of his own power was probably related to the widow.
"Do you think that bitch has nothing to do with it? I think the point of your conflict with that bastard may be in this little widow. Haha, do you know where she is and what she's doing?"
Philip was slightly startled, could he really have guessed himself right? But a great elder would stand on the opposite side of himself for the sake of a little widow? Philip couldn't figure it out.
Without waiting for Philip to ask, Koneff continued, "This bitch is really not a small bitch, and he can even bewitch our Great Elder. I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, the Great Elder's daily affairs are basically in the hands of this bitch now. If I'm not mistaken, hehe, it's likely that this bitch masterminded the serial sabotage against you and the Morgan family. ”
"Ahh
Philip exclaimed, and the look on his face couldn't help but stiffen suddenly. He never thought that a bitch with no big background would now have a lot of power in the organization.........
For a moment, an incredible feeling rose in the marquis's heart, if he had known that this was the case, then he would have killed her along with Brett's little rabbit cub, saving him from leaving this big tail behind.
But at the same time, he finally made up his mind to join forces with Koneff. He knew that a woman who had fallen into a sea of deep hatred was undoubtedly insane and dangerous, and that he had to pull out this thorn in his side before his strength suffered a greater blow.
Philip exhaled heavily, and replied in a deep voice: "It is natural to kill this pair of adulterers and adulteresses together. But you have to promise me that the Dark Left Hand can't trouble me and the Morgan family for this reason after this is done!"
Nikov was overjoyed, but kept a consistent smile on his face and said: "As long as I am in power in the organization, with our relationship with each other, how can I trouble you, Lord Marquis? As for the Morgan family, our organization has a very close relationship with them, so it is even more impossible. But after killing the dog man and woman, I hope you can support me in the next series of actions............"
Philip nodded and said in a deep voice, "Then we're done." When this is all over, I hope that I can share all the information on the Empire's side. ”
For this unreasonable request, Konev also agreed. As long as you are in power, these agreements can naturally be adjusted at that time.
Philip said, "When will it start?"
"Now!"
.................. Aaron was in a secret residence in the imperial capital, and the shadow of Konev and his group, who had been secretly spying on him, had reported to Aaron the intelligence network that had paralyzed the imperial capital and rushed to Philip's house.
Now, it's time to close the net!
Although this Niakov was forced to rebel himself, the violation of the laws of the organization has become a fact, and he will not be allowed to defend himself at that time.
Aaron chose the place where this dark tide ended in his residence in the imperial capital. Along the way, both overt and covert, Aaron believed that these actions would not be able to conceal Koneff's surveillance.
