Chapter 535: Ancient Clan
"Light?" Looking at the ashes on the bed, Leo had a puzzled look on his face, and he didn't quite understand the clues given by the female corpse.
However, Frank Forson, who was on the side, seemed to think of something after hearing the clues given by the female corpse and seeing the moment when the female corpse finally turned into ashes, and his face immediately became gloomy.
"Director Fausson, did you find anything?" asked Leo at this time, too, sensing that Frank Fuson's expression was wrong.
Frank Forson asked in a refirmative manner, "You mentioned earlier that the killer used a hidden doppelganger-like power to attack Passa Kagulan, right?"
"Yes. Leo nodded.
"I think I know who killed Passa Kagulan and is going to assassinate General Hansen. Frank Fussen frowned and said, "I think I'm afraid I'm in trouble this time." ”
Leo wasn't quite sure why Frank Forson was so nervous, so he asked, "Can you go into more detail?"
Frank Fussen was silent for a moment and said, "Mr. Leo, have you heard of the ancient tribes of the Moisan Continent?"
"The Ancient Clan?" Leo thought for a moment and said, "Do you mean the Origin Clan that has disappeared?"
"Yes, that's it. Frank Forson nodded, then hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, the disappearance of the Gu clan was done by General Hoover Hansen back then. ”
As he spoke, he told Leo the whole story.
The Moisan tribe known as the ancient tribe, in fact, the academic name should be the origin of the tribe, from its name is enough to understand that this tribe is based on the origin of the Moisan tribe, and in fact it is almost the same, except for a few tribes who believe that they have another origin, the vast majority of the rest of the tribes believe that their tribe originated from the ancient tribe.
Because of this, the Gu tribe has a very special status among the various tribes in the Moisan Continent, and the Gu tribe often uses their special status and prestige to meddle in some affairs of other tribes, and even directly affect the chieftain candidates of other tribes.
Therefore, the relationship between the Gu tribe and the various tribes in the Moisan Continent is not very harmonious, but due to the special status of the Gu tribe, or some other unknown reasons, the various tribes can only suppress their dissatisfaction with the Gu tribe in their hearts.
At that time, the colonies of various countries in the Moisan continent began to be turbulent, and various uprisings emerged one after another, in addition to the neo-Moisan uprising composed of the descendants of criminals, serfs and debtors from various countries, the nationalist ideology that broke out among the tribes and the tribal state-building uprising was the most powerful of the various uprisings at that time.
It's just that those tribes have never had a sense of statehood, their internal structure is scattered, there is no cohesion, and some of them have feuds with each other, so they can only go their own way, so that although the tribal uprising is huge, there has never been a successful example, usually it was exterminated by the colonial army not long after the uprising.
The tribes felt that if this continued, the situation would get worse, so they decided to try to bring the tribes together, and the Gu tribe naturally became the best object for them to use to unite the tribes.
As a result, the various tribes elected the ancient tribe as the leader, and gathered around the ancient tribe, followed the rules and forms formulated by the ancient tribe, sorted out the internal government affairs, and increased the power of the tribe several times in a short period of time, and the battle with the colonial army changed from passive beating to active attack, and the colony of the Maris Kingdom in the Moisan continent was completely lost at this time.
It's just that after seizing a large number of colonial territories, the Gu clan, which should have continued to expand the results of the war, stopped the pursuit at this time and completely solved all the colonies, but chose to stop the attack and digest the results.
The reason why the tribes made such a wrong strategic decision was not only because the tribes coveted the expanded territory and hoped to immediately share the spoils of war to supplement the consumption of the war, but also because the ancient tribes, which were regarded as spiritual symbols, were no longer willing to be regarded as the mascots of a united tribe, but wanted to seize higher power, so that after the country was built, they could obtain the same transcendent status as the royal family in other countries.
During this period, the Gu tribe used various means to seize the rights of various tribes in this union, embezzled the achievements of the tribes, expanded their own power, and deliberately co-opted the young Zhuang faction in other tribes to attack the old people who are now in power in each tribe.
If there are no other accidents, the Gu tribe may really be able to recover the rights of all the tribes, agree to all the tribes on the Moissanite continent for the first time, drive the colonists out of the Moissanite continent, build a Moissanite empire that has never existed, and become the supreme power holder in the entire Moissanite continent.
It's a pity that the Gu tribe is too hasty, and the methods are also direct and cruel, so that all tribes are extremely dissatisfied with the Gu tribe, and some tribes that are hostile to the Gu tribe have also begun to consider dealing with the Gu tribe.
It's just that because they publicized the identity of the ancient clan too much for the sake of tribal cohesion in the early stage, so that if they want to deal with the ancient clan now, I am afraid that they will not be able to do it because of the identity they have promoted, so they can only find external forces to solve this trouble.
At that time, the colonial army became the best external force, so several tribes that had enmity with the Gu tribe were jointly sent to try to practice the colonial army and express the idea of cooperating to eliminate the Gu people.
At that time, the colonial coalition initially thought that this was a trap for the tribes, but they soon investigated clearly, and they did not know the intentions of the other tribes, but found that the tribes that sent the envoys really wanted to deal with the ancient tribes.
The colonial army felt that this was an opportunity, because if the ancient tribes were solved, then even if the tribes occupied a lot of territory, the interior would become scattered sand, and the tribes that had no cohesion for the colonial army were very easy to deal with, and these tribes could be slowly eliminated when the time came.
So, the two hit it off, and the colonial army formed a joint elite team, and under the guidance of the internal intelligence of the tribe, a deadly trap against the ancient tribe was arranged, and the person who led this team was Hoover Moissan.
The ancient people have the custom of worshiping their ancestors, and at a fixed time every year, they will return to their ancestral land to worship their ancestors, and this time they are no exception, but at the same time, they do not set up guard points on the periphery, but hand over the protection of the periphery to some other tribes that it considers loyal.
What happened in the year of ancestor worship, except for the elite team that executed the character at that time, no one knew, the only thing that was known was that the volcano where the ancestor was worshipped suddenly erupted, engulfing all the people of the ancient tribe on the mountain, and the ancient tribe was wiped out overnight, and only a few people from the team who carried out the mission returned to the barracks alive, and Hoover Hansen was one of them.
Although the colonial army later asked what happened on the sacred mountain where the ancient people worshipped their ancestors, Hoover Hansen and other survivors did not say anything.
Because the ancient tribe died in a volcanic eruption, the tribes that were originally ready to use the colonial army to slaughter the ancient tribe as an excuse to unite various tribes and retaliate against the colonial army have failed, and because the tribal alliance condensed by the ancient tribe also quickly appeared in civil strife as expected by the colonial army, and the other tribes began to fight each other because of the previous distribution of spoils and the ownership of the territory, etc., from small tribes to large tribes without exception, all of them were involved, and the tribal alliance was almost useless.
This was originally expected by the colonial army, and as long as they waited until the time was right and attacked with all their might, they would be able to solve the tribal uprising that almost wiped out the colonial army completely.
However, before they could do anything, another force had already found an opportunity, and as a result, the ultimate beneficiaries of the ancient extermination were neither the tribal side nor the colonial army, but the neo-Mozans, who were underestimated by both sides.
The Neo-Moisans, who had always been saving up their strength, first defeated the main force of the colonial coalition at that time with a thunderbolt, and then revolted out of the control of several major colonial cities, including some very important supply port cities.
After withstanding several counterattacks from the colonial armies and the navies of other kingdoms, and defeating the armies of various kingdoms, war-weariness had developed within the countries, and finally with the abandonment of the colonies by the French Empire, all countries also abandoned their colonies, and the Kingdom of England was the last country to abandon its colonies.
After the settlement of the colonial army, the civil strife on the tribal side still did not subside, and the New Moisans did not completely suppress the tribal side, he chose to win over some tribes with good relations with them, and went all out to attack the tribes that hated the colonists, and drove those tribes back to the wasteland completely.
Eventually, the Neo-Moisans became dominant in the colony, and several combined armies under their subordinates each occupied a place and formed a state, forming several major states in the current Moisan continent such as the United States and Galica, while those tribes that were co-opted by the Neo-Moisans united together to form the current Kingdom of Panir.
"I can understand that Hoover Hansen and the Gu are enemies, after all, the extinction of the Gu clan must have something to do with Hoover Hansen's team. When Leo heard this, he couldn't help but wonder, "But how did you know that the people who were going to assassinate Hoover Hansen were from the ancient tribe? ”
"Because of light and shadow. Frank Forson explained carefully.
It turns out that there are some extremely special people in the ancient clan, these people are believed to have the purest ancestral bloodline, and according to legend, the ancestors of the ancient clan are great beings who master light and darkness, even the gods of the Velen world cannot match them, so every clansman who awakens the ancestral bloodline is born with the ability to master a part of the power of light and darkness.
The reason why the ancient tribe was able to gain a firm foothold in the tribal alliance back then, and gradually controlled the power within the tribal alliance, forcing the various tribes to collude with the colonial army, relied not only on the identity of their tribe's origin, but also on those in their tribe who were awakened to the blood of their ancestors, and the strength of these people was even the shamans of each tribe who were in awe.
According to Frank Forson's explanation, Leo knew that this was not the first time that Hoover Hansen had been assassinated by the remnants of the ancient clan, as early as a few years ago, Hoover Hansen had suffered an assassination, and the murderer almost succeeded in that assassination, but fortunately, it was Hoover Hansen's guards who desperately protected him, and the timely support of the Special Bureau, so that the assassination did not fail.
At that time, Frank Forson was the fastest person to feel the support on the scene, and he had seen how the assassin used light to create illusions, how to use shadows to move quickly, but fortunately he had the ability to distinguish enemies without using his eyes, so he was able to injure the ancient man in time and bring Hoover Hansen down.
Although the light that burned the female corpse to ashes just now was different from the use of light he had seen from the ancient people back then, the feeling he had given him was the same.
"What are you going to do now?" Leo could feel Frank Fussen's nervousness, and being able to make such a powerful person feel nervous even showed that he was extremely impressed by the strength of the ancient people back then.
"Now that the Gu people have appeared, the assassination has become different, whether General Hansen agrees to cancel the opening ceremony of the museum, I must send some people to strengthen his guards, and I must also stay by his side in case something happens. Frank Foson made his decision, and then said to Leo with a serious expression: "Mr. Leo, I don't know if you still regard this matter as an inconsequential matter, but I still hope that you can take this matter seriously, because if General Hansen really dies in the revenge assassination of the ancient people in public, then I am afraid that the war will break out again in the Moisan Continent, and the current peace of the kingdom will no longer exist." ”
"Well, I'll think about it. Leo didn't give Frank Forson an affirmative answer, but then, as if he had caught a loophole in the painting, he suddenly asked, "You seem to be saying that if assassinating Hoover Hansen in public would cause a lot of trouble, then that means that as long as it wasn't in public, Hoover Hansen's life and death wouldn't have such a big impact, right?"
"I didn't say it, it's your own understanding. Frank Foson glared at Leo with some annoyance, and then turned and walked out of the room, walked quickly downstairs, boarded the carriage waiting there, gave a command to the coachman, and drove towards the headquarters of the Navy in Turin.
Obviously, the appearance of the Assassins of the Ancient Clan made Frank Forson even more nervous about this case, and immediately felt that the Navy Headquarters had become the most important thing for him to do now to protect Hoover Hansen.
Leo, who stayed at the scene of the murder, did not leave immediately, but walked back to the attic on the third floor, stood next to the window and carefully looked at the surrounding traces, with a solemn look on his face.
In fact, he also made a discovery that he did not tell Frank Forson, and that was that he knew what weapons the Assassins would use to assassinate Hoover Hansen.
