Chapter 228: Suspicion
Compared with Zakif, the capital of Falkenridge, which was very excited at this moment because of the encouragement of King Weiss, the city of Dean can be said to be more than good at this time: the western part of the city is still being attacked by the artillery of Falkenridge's army in turn, and from time to time there are heavy artillery attacks on the center of the city.
"Bang bang bang. ”
A man with an unfamiliar face knocked on the door of Grand Duke Jon's office, and the young attaché respectfully pushed open the door of Grand Duke Jon's room with permission, stood at the doorway, saluted, and reported: "Your Excellency Grand Duke Jon, Supreme Leader of Stacy! ”
By the way, this long list of titles is not usually called, but Grand Duke Jon now needs more and more to see the respect of his men for him in order to maintain that pitiful sense of honor, so he orders that everyone must call him that.
Today is the day when McCarthy, as commander-in-chief of the Southern Cluster, rushes back to Dean City.
Dean City had been preparing for this day for a long time, so that he could give Grand Duke Jon and McCarthy, whom he was going to greet, a decent welcome ceremony. Quite a few underage students were asked to wait on both sides of the road with flowers in their hands, and to pay the most enthusiastic cheers to "His Excellency Grand Duke Jon, Supreme Leader of Stasy," as well as the equally great commander, General McCarthy.
Grand Duke Jon looked at this young face that he was not familiar with, frowned for a moment, and then asked in a puzzled tone, "Where is my chief of guard, Dane, why didn't he come? What happened to Dane?" ”
In addition to being insecure, Grand Duke Jon has now become a little suspicious, and it feels very dangerous for him to temporarily change his retinue during such travels. So he had to make sure he cared about the situation, if everything was still under his control, or if someone was already using a plot against him.
"Your Excellency Grand Duke Jon, Supreme Leader of Stasi, Dane...... I'm afraid Dane-senpai won't be able to serve you anymore. I was sent by General Karl this morning to take charge of your living and work......" The young attendant hastened to introduce his origins, his tone a little nervous.
"Bastard! The people around me, is it Karl who said to replace, can it be replaced?" After hearing this, Grand Duke Jon immediately became furious, once upon a time, the people around him were comparable to the feudal officials after they went out, not to mention a soldier like Carl who could not be on the stage, who in the whole country dared to replace it casually?
The sense of humiliation, the deep sense of humiliation suddenly permeated the heart of Grand Duke Jon.
Grand Duke Jon felt his loss of control over the whole situation, and he also felt that out of his sight, there were a pair of malicious eyes staring at him.
Power gained through repression and cold-bloodedness can be easily lost when power is weakened. It's not that Grand Duke Jon doesn't know this, on the contrary, he understands it better than anyone else.
Although he had reprimanded the attaché named Dane two days before, forbidding his family to leave Dean City. And his tone and attitude at that time were very terrible, but this was not a big problem for Grand Duke Jon. He could reprimand and be angry with his men, but when it came to replacing his henchmen, Grand Duke Jon didn't dare to be sloppy.
There is no compromise on this kind of issue, absolutely no compromise!
He remembered that he didn't know how long ago, there had been a seemingly very formidable opponent, and that was someone who many thought could replace Archduke Jon. This person died in an office building with very tight security because of a problem with his personal entourage, and it happened to be him Archduke Jon who planned all this!
So at this time, he was so angry that he almost grabbed the communication tool and let his henchmen arrest and shoot Karl's hateful guy. But when his hand was stretched out, the young attaché at the door spoke up and continued to explain, "Senior Dane committed suicide last night, so I was assigned to your side to take over his work. Rest assured, I am his student. ”
Self, suicide?
Hearing this, Grand Duke Jon withdrew his palm, and then in his heart for a moment pondered countless thoughts: did he really commit suicide, or was he assassinated? Are these people around him still reliable? But these thoughts only stayed in his mind for a moment, and by the time the next second came, he had calmed down.
So he took a deep breath, played with his golden cane as calmly as he could, and asked, "Dann is dead, why did he kill himself, and did he inform the security department of the Grand Duke's Palace? Have they been there?"
In the eyes of Grand Duke Jon, the killer troops trained by special methods are still very reliable, although the most powerful group was killed by Falkenridge's people before they were formed, but the killers who are now protecting themselves are not weak.
After all, the purpose of those killers is not to protect themselves, but to kill the enemy.
Since Dane couldn't come because he was dead, not because there was some chaos, the loyalty of these people who guarded the Grand Duke's palace and around him should still be reliable.
So he took it a little calmer, and swept his sharp eyes over his new entourage at the door.
Because the atmosphere eased somewhat, the other party was no longer so nervous, so he didn't stutter and answered his question fluently: "The captain of your personal guard, that is, Master Ennusco, has been to the scene to see it himself, and a total of six members of the family have been poisoned to death, four in bed and two on the sofa in the living room...... There are no other traces. Master Ennusco judged it to be a suicide, and the security department registered it as such. ”
At this time, being sent by Karl to the side of Archduke Jon, this young man was obviously also a very good person, his previous nervousness was due to not being able to adapt to the sudden pressure of Archduke Jon, and after a period of adaptation, he was now able to answer Archduke Jon's questions fluently.
Ennusco is the person who has followed Archduke Jon for the longest time besides Stowe and Dane, although he is only a legendary strength, and he does not have the same peculiar talent as Stowe, Salome, and Borg brothers, but he is steady, loyal and reliable, so he is very trusted by Archduke Jon.
Of course, at present, Ennusco is also one of the few high-end combat power in the Duchy of Stasi that can be used.
Since Ennusco is Archduke Jon's confidant, most of Archduke Jon's heart has been put down after getting the news.
He knew what Dane had committed suicide in his home for, and why he had poisoned his family to death - Grand Duke Jon would not let them go, this is something that everyone knows. Once it is learned that Dane has committed suicide, the first thing Grand Duke Jon does is to kill the whole family and make sure that the secret of the Stasi Supreme Leader is not leaked.
"Go, call Ennusco over! I'm going to change some of the guard procedures on the fly. ”
Grand Duke Jon waved his hand to the young attaché and motioned for him to call Ennusco on duty. The other party obviously did not hesitate, and directly exited Grand Duke Jon's office.
In a few moments, Ennusco, the captain of the guard, walked into the office of the Grand Duke Jon, a middle-aged man who looked very ordinary, the kind that he would never find again when thrown into the crowd. But for Grand Duke Jon, he means he can be trusted.
He stood upright, taking two more steps to the middle of the room than the attaché who had just entered, and closer to Grand Duke Jon: "Your Excellency Grand Duke Jon, Supreme Leader of Stacy, what do you command?"
Seeing his cronies enter his office, Grand Duke Jon was finally convinced that the change of his entourage was not a conspiracy against him, and he was completely relieved. He looked at the sunlight outside the window and commanded: "I want to ask you again, how do you think the security work of the military parade is arranged?"
"Dear Stacy Supreme Leader, Your Excellency Grand Duke Jon! The security is very well guarded, so I personally think that it should be very safe. Ennusco put his hands behind his back and answered Archduke Jon's question: "I will always be with you on the road, I believe there is no problem." ”
Hearing what his cronies said, Grand Duke Jon was relieved. He stood up and walked to the door, smiling as he went, "Well, let's go meet our hero, General McCarthy!"
