Chapter 269: Assassination
"My captain, have you really made up your mind?" On the Expedition, the flagship of the Second Fleet of the Falco Empire, the first mate Brooke looked at the captain beside him with a worried expression.
General Cook was in his captain's room, looking at the portrait of the emperor hanging on the wall with a confused expression.
This is a portrait of Garcis when he was young, when he was commanding his Legion of Magicians and the famous Iron Ranger Legion of Noah Continent to conquer the north and south on the continent, and the Falco Empire reached its peak in terms of land area and military strength at that time.
At that time, Garcis was like the founding emperor of the empire, whether it was prestige or prestige, there was no king in the entire Noah continent who could compare with him.
This brilliant emperor was once hailed as "the great emperor who is most likely to end the chaotic division of the Noah continent".
Unfortunately, when Garcis was at his peak, he met two women one after another, one was Queen Camilla, and the other was Angel's mother, Cecilia.
Because of these two women, Garcis began to decline rapidly in both governing the country and the army, and the Falco Empire also declined rapidly because of the decline of Garcis, and the invincible legions of the Empire began to win on the battlefield, and the generals of the Empire who had great achievements complained about this.
Many of those who followed Garcis to conquer the world were very fond of the glory and exploits of the Falco Empire at its peak, and they believed that the main reason for the decline of the empire was because of these two women, the most important of which was Queen Camilla.
The red face is the best footnote of these imperial generals to these two bewitching women.
Overthrow Queen Camilla?
It may seem like a great idea, but who can guarantee that Angel won't be the next Camilla when she comes to power?
Cook was a little frightened by the woman's rule, although the woman repeatedly promised him: I will not ascend to that throne, maybe Uncle Callemir can sit on it, maybe my Yorkson nephew can sit on it, whatever, I don't care who sits on this chair, but I must not let that woman sit on it!
Although Angel is quite famous in the imperial capital, it is because she is in a weak position, once she gains strong power, can she still guarantee that her good name will not change?
You know, when Camilla was dormant, she was also very famous!
Thinking of this, Cook felt that his mind was a mess, and he sighed and said to the first mate beside him, "I don't know, Brooke, I really don't know. I didn't expect this expedition to turn out like this. ”
Cook let out a long sigh, then turned his head, looked at the first mate beside him, and asked, "If it were you, what would you do?"
Brooke thought for a moment and said, "Do you want to hear the truth or lie?"
"Of course it's true," Cook said. ”
Brooke said: "Of course, it is to support Princess Angel to go back and overthrow Queen Camilla's rule!"
Cook asked, puzzled, "Why? It's just a change of soup and not a change of medicine, with one woman replacing another." ”
Brooke shook his head and said: "Princess Angel's talent is obvious to all in the field, if she can succeed to the throne, no matter how bad she is, she will be much stronger than Camilla." Even if she doesn't succeed to the throne and give up the throne to someone else, it is better than letting Camila continue to push the Falco Empire into the abyss!"
"This woman is completely ruling the entire empire with her own desires, and her personal interests and personal preferences have surpassed everything and are above the interests of the empire!" Although Brooke is only the first mate, he was also a top student who graduated from the Royal Naval Academy of the Empire back then, maybe the battlefield improvisation is insufficient, but his grasp and vision of such a situation in the government and the opposition is very unique.
Brooke finally sighed and said: "If a country wants to be rich and strong, it must first have a wise and wise ruler, and this ruler must take the interests of the empire as the highest criterion, and cannot act according to his own interests and preferences.
Cook looked at Brooke with a strange face, he shook his head and said, "I finally know why Principal Bell threw you to me back then, just what you just said, no emperor can tolerate you, not even the most enlightened emperor." ”
Brooke smiled slightly: "These words are just to say to you, after all, whether to choose to continue to submit to Queen Camilla or choose to be loyal to Princess Angel, the final decision is in your hands!"
......
"Will he take refuge in us?" Tang Jie stood at the head of the castle, looking at the Falco Second Fleet floating on the sea not far away.
Angel beside her wore a pale yellow shawl over her shoulders to protect against the night sea breeze, and beside her stood Christina, who stood by her sword and dressed in military uniform.
Angel replied: "From the cards, it seems that he has no choice. ”
Tang Jie pondered for a moment and said, "He said he was going to think about it for three days?"
Angel nodded, "Yes." ”
Tang Jie shook his head and said: "You are too lenient to him, this is a defeated general after all, if it were me, I would only give him a day to think about it at most." ”
Angel smiled: "My captain, General Cook is still very influential in the military circles of the Falco Empire, once he decides to stand on our side, then there will be many generals in the military circles of the Falco Empire, and our resistance will be much smaller in the future!
Tang Jie smiled noncommittally, he was still waiting for news from Agatha's side, he was more concerned about the attitude of the Clumber family than the support of General Cook, once this family clearly supported him, then Fiona would have every reason to hand over the magic legion under her command to herself.
Angel looked at Tang Jie, she thought for a while, and said, "I have an idea, my captain." ”
Tang Jie asked, "What?"
Angel said: "According to the general principle, the enemy of the enemy is the friend, so why don't we consider seeking the support of the Xila Empire and the Xigang Empire for a while?"
Tang Jie was taken aback, this method is really the most common method used by cold-blooded politicians, seeking the support of other countries to gain enough power to come to power.
"Do you want what you have to give?" Tang Jie looked at Angel with blazing eyes, "They are not a charitable country!"
Angel looked at Tang Jie and smiled slyly: "Yes, you are the only one in this world who does charity!
Tang Jie laughed and laughed: "I'm going to tell you the right thing! If you want to get the support of these countries, you have to pay a price, and there must be a problem of input-output ratio, have you ever thought about it, will this kind of transaction be cost-effective?"
Angel leaned into Tang Jie's arms, grabbed his broad palm, and sighed: "Then what to do, it's really nerve-wracking, I always feel that I have too few cards in hand." ”
Tang Jie smiled: "You are too worried, you need to be bold when it comes to the end, no matter what the cards we have in hand, you can let people go back to Otreencia first, let your people step on the situation first, test the attitude of the imperial capital's magnates, if you have the support of the domestic nobles, you will be much smoother." ”
Angel smiled, "Do you still need to teach this? I've already started to do it." ”
Tang Jie feigned anger and said: "You've done it all, and you're still sighing here, are you deliberately tricking me?"
Angel giggled: "How dare you, my captain, you are my big backer, I don't dare to play with you!"
Tang Jie pinched Angel's small nose and scolded with a smile: "The tone is weird, are you sarcastic about me?"
The two men were laughing at the head of the city, and next to the stone pillars in the corridors of the castle, a thin figure was staring at the backs of the two of them, his eyes cold and sharp.
The moonlight shone on the man's face, illuminating a beautiful seven-point face, apparently a girl, none other than Emma.
This girl's face was plastered with gray-black ashes, but it was still difficult to hide her beauty, and even the goddess of the moon would be amazed and jealous when she saw her beautiful face.
Although temporarily escaped from the pursuit of the imperial family, Emma's life is not the slightest bit of peace and serenity, and this girl lost in the streets and alleys has no idea where her future lies and what she will do in the future.
She had thought about going back to Dam City, to her hometown to start her peaceful life again, but it occurred to her that her home was shattered, that it had become the birthplace of nightmares, and that her old life was gone.
She used to be just an ordinary little girl, maybe she will marry a little nobleman in the future, have a few children, maybe her beauty can improve the poverty in the family, but she will never be able to get rid of the ordinary and peaceful life.
But now, her life is full of undercurrents and angry waves, she spends every day in fear, she begins to learn to kill, she begins to learn how to please men, to deceive men, to murder men!
On top of that, her hands were stained with the blood of an imperial emperor!!
The ordinary is forever separated from her, and a peaceful life can never come again!
And it was because of a man who brought her all this!
"That's him...... He's the one who woke you up from nightmares and screams for countless nights!" Emma's mind was like a devil crying out loudly, and it was this voice that tricked her into putting on makeup and sneaking into this man's side, waiting for the opportunity to assassinate him anytime and anywhere!
However, this man was so elusive that although he was never accompanied by a guard, his own strength and vigilance were enough to make any assassin fearful, and I heard that Diderot, the leader of the crows, had died at his hands!
Diderot had personally taught Emma, but because the time was too short, it was obvious that Emma did not become a teacher, and in the nearly two months of waiting on the island, her patience was worn out little by little, especially the last time she accidentally collided with Tang Jie in the corridor.
Emma thought she had been discovered!
She's even ready to kill herself at any moment!
But when she woke up from her sleep one night after another, she found that there was a calm all around her, and the moonlight was like water, like poison, enough to corrode the peace of her strong mind.
Actually, it's a good day.
Don't be discovered, live quietly, if you don't see that man often......
Don't think about it, Emma shook her head vigorously, as if she wanted to throw such a weak thought out of her mind, and stared at the backs of Tang Jie and Angel.
During her observations on the island, Emma discovers that Tang Jie's weakest vigilance is when he is with Angel, and he is happiest at this time.
However, at this time, how can I get close to him?
Emma's mind raced as she suddenly noticed that Tang Jie and Angel had already walked down the city and walked in her direction.
"What should I do?" said to Emma, "will you pretend to be a maid to meet you and give him a fatal blow as you pass him?"
Seeing Tang Jie getting closer and closer, Emma was at a loss.
