Chapter 289: Turning Point
Declaring war on the Xila and Xigang empires at the same time, this matter is really extraordinary, even if Tang Jie doesn't know much about the situation of these two countries, but he knows very well that they are two countries, even if a country is weak, it is stronger than his own warlord, not to mention that these two countries joined forces, and also broke through the fortress level of the Falco Empire, and directly pointed to the imperial capital of Otreencia.
What is the strength of the two empires of Xila and Xigang, Tang Jie doesn't know very well, but Tang Jie knows very well what the strength of the Falco Empire is, not to mention anything else, just say that this empire has swept all directions in the Noah continent with the support of the Great Magus Tarasya, and has jumped from a small country with no name to a famous military power, and a few years ago it was recognized by the Noah continent as "the kingdom with the most hope of unifying the Noah continent".
The military strength of the Falco Empire is evident from this!
Even after Empress Camilla succeeded to the throne, the Falco Empire began to decline, but the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and no matter how the soldiers under its command of a million male soldiers were pointed, it was still enough to make people change color.
It can be seen from this that the military strength of the two countries can be extended from the Falco Empire to the Xigang and Schilla Empires.
At this time, Tang Jie just bit the Kelsman family hard, and asked him to immediately make a decision to declare war on these two powerful countries, which really tested his courage.
Tang Jie's face was cloudy for a while, and after a while, he asked Angel, "Is there any news from Agatha?"
Angel knew that Tang Jie was asking Agatha's father, Fitosher, if he had promised to fund 10 million gold coins, her face darkened, and she said: "There is no news yet, these days Agatha and Nia are busy cleaning the spies on Alcatraz Island, and they only sleep for three hours a day, and they have lost a lot of weight." ”
Speaking of which, Angel didn't want to bother Tang Jie with the matter of declaring war again, because she also knew that the ultimate initiative in this matter was not in Tang Jie's hands, but in the hands of Tang Jie's father-in-law, Fei Toshe.
Without the financial assistance of this rich man, let alone sending troops, even if Otrensia is sacked by the combined forces of Shira and the Xigang Empire, they can only watch!
If you don't have the strength, you can only sit back and watch the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity slip away!
Although Angel sighed in her heart, she still smiled and persuaded Tang Jie: "You go and see Nia and Agatha, they are really busy these days." ”
Purging internal spies is not only a cruel and ruthless thing, but also an incomparably tedious thing.
Because Tang Jie repeatedly emphasized: This purge must not engage in torture to extract confessions and bite each other, otherwise, although this can clean out the spies, it will definitely cause great internal trauma to himself.
Therefore, this virtually brings great difficulty and engineering quantity to the internal cleaning. They can only start from the insiders one by one, and find out the suspicious ones that will conduct in-depth investigations layer by layer.
Alcatraz Island now has a population of tens of thousands, and after checking them one by one, you can imagine how big the amount of work is!
Nia and Agatha were immersed in mountains and seas of data files almost every second, sleeping just lying down at their desks for a while, waking up and rubbing their red eyes to continue flipping through the files.
When Tang Jie came to the study and saw these two women, he only felt that when they stood up, their bodies were fluttering, like duckweed without roots, and when a gust of wind blew, they would be so weak that they would be blown away by the wind.
Agatha is a pampered daughter, she can't stand this kind of suffering, and she can be like this, Tang Jie can understand, but Konia is a female warrior who has been through a hundred battles and has been tempered into steel, and she has also been boiled like this, but think about what this thing has made them tired.
Tang Jie looked at the two women with panda eyes, felt distressed, and blamed: "Why don't you pay attention to your body? These things can be handed over to the next hand, so many files, just the two of you can read them, can you read them? When you finish reading, I guess my hair is gray!"
Nia pursed her lips and smiled, but she didn't speak, but Agatha sighed and said, "Don't say it, the one who poisoned and killed you before was from our Clumbel family, a petrel who has infiltrated our family for more than ten years......"
Agatha said, her soft body gently snuggled into Tang Jie's arms: "I can fight a cold war when I think about it, there is a person lurking next to me who can kill me at any time! If it weren't for my negligence, I was afraid of ......."
Agatha thought about the terrible consequences of the last serial assassination, and her body couldn't help but tremble, and her heart was terrified.
Tang Jie patted Agatha on the shoulder, then looked at Nia and smiled: "The spy must be caught, and the body must be taken care of, otherwise you will catch the spy and exhaust yourself, isn't this more than worth the loss?"
Nia smiled and rubbed her temples tiredly.
Tang Jie saw that the two girls didn't speak, so he continued to ask: "By the way, who was the last person who warned me?
At the mention of this, Nia and Agatha glanced at each other, each of them did not speak, but Angel on the side said: "The person was found, guess who?"
Tang Jie looked at Angel, shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”
Angel sighed and said, "It's your old acquaintance, Emma!"
"Huh, so it's her?" Tang Jie was taken aback, "Why is she on the island?"
Angel shook her head: "This girl's background is very mysterious, and elusive, and the most important thing is that no one knows what she is thinking, the last time she assassinated Prince Fernandez, and now she is here again, fortunately, she is not here to assassinate you......"
Agatha and Nia on the side asked in horror at the same time, "What? Prince Fernandez, she killed her?"
Angel was stunned for a moment, knowing that she had inadvertently leaked her mouth, but fortunately, Nia and Agatha were Tang Jie's most trusted people, and there were no outsiders, so she nodded: "Yes, without her, Alcatraz would not be in the current situation." ”
Angel's words are not wrong at all, without Emma's stab, there would be no violent turmoil in the imperial capital, and the duel between Fernandez and his Creza royal family and the Kelsman family, who wins and who loses, it is really hard to say.
Agatha and Nia listened to this sensational secret, and the two women invariably changed color, and they couldn't help but think that the girl with a delicate body and a beautiful face turned out to be a shocking assassin!
Tang Jie asked, "Where is she now?" take me to meet her, no matter what, she can be regarded as saving my life." ”
Angel smiled bitterly: "My captain...... She, she's already gone!"
Tang Jie was shocked: "Huh? How did she run away? Didn't I order the island to be closed?"
Angel shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Yes, it's amazing, I don't know how she ran away." ”
Nia on the side interjected: "Well, it's really strange, she lived in a one-room hut on the south side of the castle, and there was a squire guarding the door, and when the squire went to bring her food, she found that the room was empty, and the doors and windows were intact, and I really couldn't figure out how she escaped." ”
Tang Jie was stunned for a long time, Nia, Angel and others who saw it with their own eyes couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't figure it out even more if he didn't see it, so he thought about it for a while, so he had to put this matter aside and secretly worry about the elusive Emma.
After forcing Agatha and Nia to hand over the tedious task of reviewing to their reliable men, Tang Jie took them to dinner.
The dining room of the castle is set up with an extremely long rectangular table, which is a noble table specially sent by Darius in order to please Tang Jie, each table is more than a meter apart, especially if the people who are separated by more than ten meters at the two ends must shout loudly if they want to speak, otherwise the other party is likely to be unable to hear clearly.
Tang Jie didn't like this kind of table that was far away, so he asked someone to set up a smaller round table next to it, and a few people gathered at this round table when he and Angel and others had dinner.
Tang Jie disappeared on Alcatraz Island for a few days for no reason, although Nia, Angel and Agatha didn't ask, but they were also very worried, seeing him come back at this time, their hearts were happy, and Tang Jie liked to say things on the table, and several people talked and laughed, but they were also happy.
When the meal was almost finished, Tang Jie stopped the knife and fork, thought for a while, and asked Agatha, "Agatha, is there any news from your father?"
Agatha was cutting a steak when she heard Tang Jie's words, put down the knife, shook her head and said, "No." ”
Tang Jie let out a faint sigh and stopped talking.
After Agatha answered Tang Jie's words, she saw that he had no text to continue cutting meat and eating, but she kept an extra eye and glanced at Tang Jie, seeing that although he looked as usual, there was a look of anxiety in his eyes.
Agatha's heart moved, knowing that Tang Jie was worried about the astronomical amount of gold coins from the mercenary magic legion, and Angel had also come to her privately these days, hinting to her about the current situation of the Falco Empire, and she also knew that there was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity at this time, which must be seized, and whether this opportunity could be seized or not depended on her father!
Tang Jie didn't want to put too much pressure on herself, Agatha's heart was bright, she was moved, and secretly made up her mind that she would return to her father's side immediately after eating, and once again ask him to contribute as soon as possible!
At the table, everyone was thinking for a while, and the atmosphere became condensed, and when the meal was almost over, suddenly a maid of the Clumbel family broke in at the door, and said breathlessly: "Miss Agatha, Miss Agatha......"
Agatha was born in a famous family and valued etiquette the most, and when she saw her subordinates so presumptuous and rude, she suddenly had a long face and a pretty face.
And the maid didn't care about Agatha's face, stroked her chest vigorously, then swallowed her saliva, and said, "Fei, Master Fitoshe, he's here!"
Agatha suddenly stood up from her seat, and not only her, but everyone at the table suddenly raised their heads, turned their heads in unison, and looked at the maid.
Agatha didn't care about etiquette at this time, hurriedly said hello to Tang Jie, and rushed out, when she went out, she knocked her feet and knocked a heavy chair to the ground with a creak, and her little foot bones suddenly swollen up with a bag, but she didn't realize it!
