Chapter 207: A Noble Heart and a Bloodstained Hand
It's been a while since Makoto Tatsuno and Moon Shadow left the Elven King, and during that time, Matthew has sent countless people to track down their whereabouts. After the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info everyone brought back the news that Makoto Tatsuno and Moon Shadow had begun to wander around the half-elf villages on the outskirts of the royal capital after leaving the elven king, and all the half-elf villages they had appeared had one thing in common, there would be nothing else in the village except blood, fire, and corpses.
Listening to the report of the chief of the royal guard, Matthew's fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of the throne, and from time to time he looked at Aslan and Goering, who were sitting on either side of the steps. Compared to the calmness of the three of them, Ioka's face standing beside Matthew was very ugly, especially after hearing the tragic situation in the village, his face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.
"That's the situation, Your Highness, Makoto Tatsuno and Moon Shadow don't have any goals at all, they seem to be walking randomly. So our guys are either running around behind their butts or stupidly staying in one place, and I think we should change the way we hunt them. ”
There was a deep helplessness in the eyes of the chief of the guard, since the hunt for Makoto Tatsuno and Moon Shadow, more and more people have been sent out, but the news they get is always like this. The peaceful life of the elves was completely shattered because of these two people, and everyone fell into a deep fear, no one knew when such a cruel and bloody act would end, and they were even more worried about whether the elf king would be like a half-elf village.
"Your Highness, I agree with the proposal of the Chief of the Bullock Guard, if they are allowed to continue like this, the elves will never be able to live in peace. As soon as the chief of the guard finished speaking, one of the elves sitting at the bottom of Goering's drooping head stood up.
"Reconsideration!" The elves sitting below stood up one by one, and everyone felt that this was not an option at all.
Looking at the elves standing below, Matthew nodded, "So do you guys have any good ideas?"
Hearing Matthew's question, the elves who stood up looked at each other for a moment and sat down again. Sighing deeply, Matthew's heart was annoyed, "Do these guys have anything else to do but say reconsideration? Pretend to be dumb when it comes to the critical moment, are you only here to block me?"
Since that day's events, Matthew has refused the people's request for him to succeed to the throne immediately, and has promised not to hold an enthronement ceremony until Makoto Tatsuno and Moon Shadow are settled. But this incident is inseparable from Matthew, at least no one in the current elf clan has been able to fight against Tatsuno Makoto.
In this way, Matthew first settled in the elven palace before succeeding to the throne and began to deal with the affairs of the elves, while Aslan and Goering became Matthew's right and left hands as the first and auxiliary ministers. Now that there is a first minister, there can be no vacancies in other positions, and under the arrangement of Aslan and Goering, the rudiments of the management of the elves have appeared.
It's just that in this embryonic form, except for Aslan and Goering, only the Bullock guard chief is left, and the others are left with the word reconsideration except for singing praises. Ioka, on the other hand, became Matthew's personal bodyguard, a white rabbit who guarded the lion, because of his heroic performance when Makoto Tatsuno caused a riot.
"I think we can bring the half-elves together so that we can protect them and kill Makoto Tatsuno and Moon Shadow. Seeing the displeased look on Matthew's face, Goering smiled and proposed, and then sat down slowly at the sound of reconsideration.
"Convenient protection, is it convenient for Makoto Tatsuno to carry out the slaughter!" Matthew secretly scolded Goering's proposal in his heart.
Although Makoto Tatsuno killed all the half-elven crusades hidden in the elven king's capital that day, and also eliminated several rebellious elves by the way, only Matthew, Aslan, and Goerin understood this matter.
In the eyes of others, Makoto Tatsuno is a demon who kills innocents indiscriminately. Even Ioka believed that Makoto Tatsuno was bent on escorting Matthew back to the Elven King to wreak havoc, and that Moon Shadow must have been deceived by his rhetoric and thus fell.
The half-elven crusades on the surface are solved, but no one will believe that there are only a few cruspers who have infiltrated the elven fantasy realm, how many are hidden in the secret, and where they are hiding Kenben No one knows.
It's impossible to check, and the only way is to get rid of them all. But if you do this, it will definitely leave a stain of indiscriminate killing, a stain that no one wants to touch, but it was actively pasted on Tatsuno Makoto, which is the second step of Makoto Tatsuno's plan in order to make Matthew the king of elves.
First of all, he first showed his super strength to arouse the indignation and fear of the elves, and then Matthew took action to expel himself, so that Matthew would become a king with the strength and courage to protect them in the eyes of all the elves.
After that, he cleared the half-elves in the elven fantasy realm, cleared away external threats for Matthew, and allowed him to sit firmly on the throne.
After a few deep conversations with Aslan and Goering, Matthew realized how much Makoto Tatsuno, a temporary family member, had sacrificed for him. For the sake of Matthew's throne, Makoto Tatsuno did not hesitate to stain his hands with blood, solving all his worries, and at the same time carrying eternal infamy.
"Your Highness?" Goering's voice brought Matthew back to his senses, and everyone's eyes were fixed on him, waiting for his decision.
"Ahem, I think Speaker Goering's proposal is very good, so where is the appropriate place for the half-elves to gather temporarily?" Matthew glanced at Aslan, who had never said a word, and then waited for Goering's answer.
Although he did not object to Tatsuno Makoto's approach, he still couldn't let Aslan choose a cemetery for so many lives. That's right, this temporary gathering place of half-elves is where their bones are buried.
After pondering for a while, Goering got up and said, "Your Highness, I think the gathering place should be placed in a place where all the half-elf villages can easily go, and at the same time, it is convenient for us to transport supplies there. I propose to place the temporary gathering place in a small village five days away from the Elven King's Capital, which is open and mostly central. ”
"Is it there?" Matthew's gaze sharpened, and he looked coldly at Goering below. Why did this guy who was respectful but full of trickery make it a gathering place? Isn't it the village where he lived with Moon Shadow for a long time and then met Makoto Tatsuno!
"Good, it's set right there. Matthew didn't wait for the platoons to say a reconsideration this time, and it was decided directly, "Bullock, you go and inform all the members of the pursuit team, their task now is to notify all the villages to move there immediately, requisition all the means of transportation, and not to carry anything, and the elf king will solve the problem of all the goods." ”
Seeing that Bullock was ordered to leave, Matthew added, "If there is anyone who takes advantage of the opportunity to make trouble, kill them on the spot." Bullock raised an eyebrow, bowed, and turned away.
"All began to prepare supplies, and in three days the supplies were delivered by me, Ioka, Speaker Goering, Elder Aslan, and all members of the convoy. "The order has been given, all that remains is to carry it out. Matthew turned to leave the council chamber in the midst of everyone's salute, walking in the empty corridor with heavy but determined steps, Matthew thought secretly, "Where to start and where to end?"
