Chapter 63: The Mole
Naturally, Sachar didn't suddenly remember to ask this question.
In fact, ever since he recalled the end of his previous life, Governor Chels, he had felt that something was very wrong, and it made him feel a little chilly from time to time.
In the days that followed, he pondered and carefully recalled the deeds of the Governor of Chels, which of course was reported in the war report. In the end, he really found this point.
In the previous life, the Blago barbarians in the southern mountains were born, and several major states and thirty-seven tribes submitted covenants to the province of Blago. Of course, the empire understands that this is because they have the support of a large empire, otherwise they would not dare to do so.
Governor Chels led an army of 40,000 men all the way south from the city of Blago, and finally defeated the Grand Canyon of Cardina, and the army was wiped out in a battle.
At first, I didn't think anything was going on, and almost everyone in the empire was swayed by the news of the loss of Blago Province and didn't think about the reason behind it.
Besides, even knowing is useless. But now that I think about it, it's not normal at all.
Governor Chelse: He is not a rookie who has set foot on the battlefield for the first time, he is a battle-tested strategist.
Even if he is not very good at commanding troops, and even if several corps commanders who commanded troops at that time did not have the ability and experience to mobilize troops on a large scale, there would never be such an ambush.
You know, Cardina Canyon is still under the control of the Empire!
So what happened to make the Governor of Chels in his own territory, plotted by the enemy, and how did those people get in?
In order to ambush the Imperial army at that time, the enemy had at least the same number of troops, and there were very elite troops among them, if it was just a few miscellaneous soldiers, the regular army of the Empire would be able to force them out.
Therefore, after thinking about it, Zagarth still felt that there was only one possibility. That is, there are some traitors in the province, or there are some enemies in the governor of Chels.
Only with the cooperation of the "own people" of the empire can a large number of enemies be put in without knowing it. As for why someone would do this, Saga is not surprised at all, there are many people in this world who eat inside and outside.
There are always people who can do anything for the sake of profit. Moreover, there are some people who always complain about injustice, especially those families with relatively low status, who always want to take some shortcuts to improve the strength of the family.
Or some hateful families, it is easy to go to extremes, such as the Nuchels family.
In fact, Sachar himself was very shocked at first that the Nuchels family had not betrayed the family for thousands of years, but had always been strict with the laws of the empire, and that there was really such a family that could persist and always remain loyal to the empire.
This added a lot of points to the Nuchels family in front of the Brandon family, and the Brandon family liked this kind of loyal ally and kept their promises.
Later, when Saga suspected the traitor, he did not suspect the Nuchels family, because the family was destroyed in that riot, and the suspicion was cleared from this point.
"A family dissatisfied with the Empire?" Kashi muttered as he frowned.
Saga thought for a moment and added, "Cardina Grand Canyon is near Elev City, right?"
"That's right. Jiashi nodded and confirmed: "Ellev City is the sphere of influence of the Ellev family, and the empire has given the Ellev family the privilege of forever dominating Ellev City. ”
Saga nodded to show that he understood.
The existence of the House of Ellev is not uncommon in the Empire, and for various reasons, either due to some merits, or for the sake of restraint, or for appeasement, the Empire has set up such guards in many cities.
The position of lord of the city is chosen by the guardian families, and the head of the Empire, the Archon, and the governor of the province have a symbolic consent, and then they can take office.
House Elevor is the Empire's chosen guard to appease the Blago Clan.
The Ellev family was originally the nobles of the former Blago, and it was second only to the royal family, but later the empire invested heavily and almost slaughtered the city of Blago with the force of destruction, and in just one night, the Blagos were slaughtered.
Seeing that things were not going well, the Alevor family hurriedly surrendered, and the empire also needed someone to appease the people of Blago and the old nobles, so they gave the family the position of guard.
"There does seem to be something wrong with the words of the Alevor family. "Jiashi didn't think in this direction. But when Saga said this, he really sensed that something was wrong.
The two families belong to the top families of the province of Blago, and the Elevor family is only a little weaker than the Nuchels family on the surface, but the real situation is not very clear, after all, such a nobleman who has died in the country must have some special means.
"Their family seems to still worship a black dragon. Jiashi said with some uncertainty: "Because our two families are relatively close, sometimes we can feel a little, but we can't be sure. ”
"It's just that sometimes I can feel that Elev City is very wrong, many animals will not approach Elevor City, there was once a gold-level magician who said that Elev City has the coercion of high-ranking creatures, and the minister thinks it should be a dragon. Jiashi explained in detail.
"Oh, the black dragon of the dragons?" Saga narrowed his eyes slightly, and muttered a little unconsciously, "In the land of the Empire, there are still these stupid creatures, high-ranking creatures, just some food!"
There was a hint of disdain in Zachar's voice.
The only noble race recognized by the Empire so far is the Elves, and of course, the Elves are now semi-subservient to the Empire.
As for the dragons who claim to stand at the top of the food chain of the Labral Great World, the dragons who are known as the superior race of sacred creatures, in the evaluation of the empire, they are nothing more than a group of stupid creatures.
The mind is simple, the limbs are well-developed, there is a body of brute strength, and he only knows how to act according to instinct, and there is no trace of the appearance of an intelligent race at all.
Of course, this does not include the various types of gem dragons, the four dragon species of emerald dragons, crystal dragons, sapphire dragons and amethyst dragons are all accepted, they have wisdom that does not belong to humans and elves, and the ancestor dragon gods of these four races are all gods in the pantheon.
The Empire hates five-colored dragons and metal dragons.
That is, the black dragon, the red dragon, the green dragon, the blue dragon, the white dragon, the brass dragon, the bronze dragon, the red bronze dragon, the silver dragon, and the golden dragon.
