In the dark room, Harold calmed his breath and quietly awaited the results of the Inspectorate's investigation.

But whatever the outcome, his fate was sealed.

That soldier and Harold were indeed just small people in the empire, as they said, but the people they served were the most powerful and influential people in the empire and even on the entire continent. Two powerful and mysterious organizations, only temporarily coming to the ground for a common goal, embark on one of the most incredible assassinations in the Empire's decade.

Now that the mission has been confirmed to be a failure, they all smile at each other and comfort themselves that their side can still gain some kind of political benefit from the follow-up development, but they know better that failure is failure, and it is a complete failure.

The big man behind Harold must get out of the turmoil that His Majesty is about to set off as soon as possible, so he must throw Harold out immediately, so that His Majesty and the Inspectorate's eyes will be on Harold.

This is the fate of the bait.

Under the imperial sky, there can be no shady curtain that will never be exposed, let alone a plan that is so perfect that it cannot find any clues and leave no traces. Once the shady curtain is revealed and the riser is exposed, it will inevitably usher in an incomparably fierce blow from the other side.

After the accident of the Great Prince ten years ago, although there was no clear evidence that it was an assassination, His Majesty the Emperor, who was extremely angry, still carried out an unprecedented purge of the entire empire, and the methods were so horrific that it was even hard to believe that it came from the hand of the Emperor Felipe the Great, who was completely unrecognizable on the surface.

Therefore, in the last ten years, the political struggle of the empire has long been far away from assassination and other means that cannot see the light, and no force dares to assassinate the royal family in a bold way, and the forces of all parties have always been able to maintain peace, at least on the surface.

Therefore, one night in March 1037 of the Empire, the assassination of the Blood Dagger Brotherhood in the Black Shell District of the Imperial Capital alarmed all the big people in the Imperial Capital.

All the forces, in the face of His Majesty's wrath of the Emperor, maintained a submissive attitude. Because His Majesty the Emperor only has one son left, this is the dragon's scales.

The OIOS investigation had already made a breakthrough that night. Led by Akali, the head of the Inspectorate known as the Shadow Hand, it took less than fifteen minutes for the Black Shell Archon named Likitt to tell the truth.

The identity of the black-armored knights who attacked the villa has been ascertained, and those elite warriors who were all killed were originally soldiers from the assault battalion of the Thunder Legion. They followed the former commander, Vincent, the deputy commander of the legion, and secretly infiltrated the imperial capital a month ago, but disappeared after Vincent's treasonous death.

According to Richet's confession, all these soldiers were received by Harold, and they resolutely carried out Vincent's last order - to obey Harold's command.

What's even more terrifying is that Harold has a connection with some terrifying characters in gray robes. According to Lykitt's words, although he does not know the true identity of those people, he can feel the deep evil in them as long as he looks at them.

"The Council of the Obelisk. Asking, Mistress Akali touched her delicate red lips with her white fingers. The high-minded and majestic queen's aura bloomed instantly, making many men want to kneel down and kiss her instep immediately.

In front of Akali, Evelyn, who has haunted the dreams of many college seniors, is still just a young swan.

But when he said the name of this organization, even Akali couldn't help frowning.

There is no exact date on when this mysterious organization called the Obelisk Council appeared on the continent, but it seems that after the decline of the elves and the rise of humans, their shadows gradually appeared on the continent.

This group of powerful mages who serve the teachings of Chaos and wield the magic of Chaos are like a large hand hidden in the shadows, plucking the strings of history from time to time, but never revealing their true purpose.

But many times when the Radiant Empire or the Garo Empire were expected to complete the unification of the continent, or when they had been peaceful for too long, this group of gray-robed Chaos Servants would appear and change the trajectory of history.

Whether it is the Radiant Empire or the Garo Empire, at the highest echelons of power, they regard it as the greatest threat and enemy.

Anything, once with the participation of the Council of the Obelisk, becomes extremely complicated and extremely dangerous.

"Take it down. After getting everything she wanted to know, Akali Sakura's lips lifted and she spat out a few words. Two Imperial Black Hawks, dressed in black, took Lykitt to the secret prison of the Inspectorate.

"Take my orders and arrest Harold. After a moment of contemplation, Akali raised her head and gave the next command.

In the early morning of March 7, 1037 in the imperial calendar, the home of Chancellor of the Exchequer Harold broke the usual silence and solemnity, and a group of imperial black eagles on war horses savagely broke open the gate of the courtyard, and controlled all the people of the Harold family, including servants, cooks, and horse boys.

This does not include his only son, Ronald, who studied at Imperial College.

"What do you black harriers from the Supervision Department want to do, when our master comes back, he will definitely strip off your skin, and then make you kneel and apologize. Harold's wife believed her horror with an angry question.

Syllable!

But what answered her was just a resounding slap in the face.

"Death is coming!" a young man with a straight body, a high nose, and very sharp eyes wiped his white gloves with a disgusted expression, as if he felt that the slap had dirty his hands.

The name of this somewhat clean young man is Zai, and he is ranked fifth on the Hidden Dragon List, and is known as the Wings of the Inspectorate along with Evelyn.

Such a tough answer and attitude immediately made everyone understand that this time the big tree of Lord Harold may really fall.

Outside the window, the sound of fierce fighting gradually subsided. The whip in Evelyn's hand was like a real Titan python, killing three retainers of Harold who stubbornly resisted in a one-on-three manner, completely extinguishing all resistance.

Looking at the incomparably moving battle heroism of the Deputy Inspector General, all the Black Hawks maintained a relaxed expression. The corner of the lips is suitable for a smile. Such occasions are nothing more than a daily occurrence for the Ombudsman.

In the office of Harold, the Imperial Chancellor of the Exchequer, after seeing off the soldier, he picked up a bell and shook it gently.

But his butler didn't knock on the door as usual, and served the red sandwich.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer walked silently to the window, saw that his home was heavily surrounded, and then turned and sat down on the sand.

He thought of his son.

Then he stood up. This time he didn't pick up his teacup, but took out a bottle of spirits from the bookcase, poured himself a glass, and sipped it slowly.

As he drank the amber liquid, this important figure in the imperial political arena squinted at his eyes, completely unaware that the alcohol, which he usually hated, was so stinging.

His butler looked like he would never return. Judging from the footage he had just seen, within two minutes, the Black Harriers from the Supervision Office would rush into the room.

Harold started as a small accountant in the Treasury and held many positions, stepping into the center of power in the Empire, most of which was the Chancellor of the Exchequer. With his position in the Federation, he is enough to make the big people who cooperate with him do whatever it takes to keep themselves, just like ...... The same as the knights of the Thunder Legion who committed suicide.

But he didn't want to do that, so he put down his glass, went to his desk, and wrote a letter.

"Thirty years ago, I was an ordinary accountant at the Ministry of Finance, and I saw with my own eyes that countless riches were squandered for the enjoyment of some people. Thirty years later, I am the Imperial Chancellor of the Exchequer, with full authority over the entire Empire's revenues. ”

"I never believed the words of politicians, much less willing to put the future of the empire. Delivered to the aristocracy of extravagance. ”

"The easiest way to do this is to rebuild a new empire. ”

"Maybe history will judge me wrong, but I ...... Death does not admit mistakes. ”

After writing this, Harold sighed softly, and many comrades who followed the adult for the same ideal came to mind.

If this assassination is successful, then the current empire will naturally collapse or even collapse, the process is painful, but the new empire built in the rubble will definitely be even greater.

Harold's calm gaze fell on an inconspicuous name on the plan. If there is any regret in his heart at this time. Naturally, it was because of his carefully prepared assassination plan. Unexpectedly, Felipe's youngest son actually survived in a desperate situation. According to the first feedback from his cronies, the person who played the most crucial role in it and saved Joshua's life twice in a row was undoubtedly Bai Bing, a student of the Imperial Academy from the Far East.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer drank the liquor in his cup in one gulp, and then picked up his own unsavvy vindictiveness. He paused for a moment, gasped for a few heavy and sharp breaths, and then went straight to his heart against his luck.

Bang.

The office door was slammed open. The distinctive footsteps of the pair of dragon flame unicorn rhino heels rang out, and those well-trained Imperial Black Eagles immediately dodged a path. Akali strode in and glanced at Harold, who had collapsed on the table and was already dead.

Then he picked up the letter on the table and read it.

"Death or Death?" The woman, known as the Shadow Hand and the Empire's strongest intelligence agency, laughed disdainfully, "What nonsense." Do you think that by writing something like this, you can get the big man to get rid of the relationship?"

Then he was silent for a long time and said: "All the people of the Harold family will be executed, his son Ronald will be captured, and the others will be collected!"
