"Your Majesty is assassinated!"

Hudson's eyes were about to fall when he heard the news.

If it hadn't come from his father-in-law, he would have suspected that it was a rumor.

As the monarch of a country, Caesar III's guards were extraordinary, and outsiders were not close to him at all.

"There is no doubt that this news has already spread in the royal capital, and maybe in a day or two, you will receive an official document."

Viscount Oran said with a solemn expression.

Receiving this shocking news, he was also taken aback at first, but after many verifications, it was proved that the news was true.

Realizing that the problem was great, he came to Hudson for consultation as soon as possible.

"I'm sorry, Viscount Oran, I lost my temper. The news is so shocking.

It was ...... that so many assassins had mixed into the banquet, and the last one who succeeded was a maid."

Hudson has run out of words to describe it.

There were only a few hundred guests at a diplomatic banquet, and there were nearly 100 assassins mixed in. This is no longer an assassination, it is clearly a siege.

There was no third person to be able to put so many assassins in it, except for the king and the crown prince.

If it weren't for Caesar III's son, Hudson would have suspected that the crown prince wanted to kill the king and seize the throne.

"According to the information gathered by the family, the main reason why so many assassins were able to sneak in this banquet was that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was negligent and did not strictly review the identities of the guests.

But it always feels a little fake, even if the crown prince is negligent, the guards guarding the palace should not be negligent.

With the exception of a few Assassins who infiltrated as guests and servants, the remaining Assassins infiltrated mainly in the guise of ministers and close followers of ministers.

They are all close people, and it is impossible for these people not to find out. It would be unrealistic to say that they deliberately made things easier for the Assassins.

When something like this happens, they're all implicated. If nothing happens to Your Majesty, it would be fine, but if there was an accident, their whole family would suffer. ”

Viscount Oran said with a frown.

It is normal for nobles to have anti-thieves, but to say that they are all anti-thieves is very.

Although Caesar III loved to toss a little, this did not affect him as a wise monarch, and his prestige in the aristocratic circle was not low at all.

Maybe the big nobles don't like this kind of monarch, but the small and medium nobles are very supportive.

"The crown prince should have nothing to do with this assassination, I have dealt with him. Although he is idealized a little bit and his mind is not broad enough, he will never be able to kill the king.

The great nobles in the country, there are many people who want His Majesty to die, but those who dare to kill the monarch almost do not exist.

This assassination of Eucalyptus is most likely due to external forces, and the domestic nobles are at most behind the scenes.

Your Excellency, I don't know if you have noticed that this assassination is a bit of a child's play.

For a real assassination, you don't need so many killers at all. Even if it was to disperse the forces of the guards, it would not be possible to send so many people.

And a maid injured His Majesty, which is too child's play. The most important thing is the murder weapon, which is just a dagger for His Majesty's daily meal.

There are so many colorless and odorless poisons, and there are not a few poisons that kill in one hit, so why use unknown toxins?

What's more, as a close maid, I really want to murder Your Majesty, I don't think there is a better chance in normal times. ”

As he spoke, Hudson looked in the direction of the royal capital, his eyes filled with countless doubts.

There are too many irrationalities in this assassination. are about to catch up with the "Zhengde drowning, apocalypse falling into the water" eucalyptus in the previous life.

The difference is that the person who shot this time does not seem to want Caesar III to die.

"Hudson, do you think this is a bitter ploy of His Majesty, and you want to use it to ......?"

Before Viscount Orlan could finish speaking, Hudson hurriedly interrupted: "Your Excellency, this is impossible!

Your Majesty, there is only one son of the crown prince. Even if you want to use bitter meat, you will not take advantage of the prestige of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

As you know, the crown prince's reputation in the country is already very ordinary, and if he is implicated in the assassin monarch, even if he succeeds to the throne in the future, it will be difficult to establish prestige in the country!

If it's really acting, those assassins alone are enough, and there is no need to be stabbed with a snake. ”

Suddenly, Hudson understood.

At a normal pace, there wouldn't be so many assassins. If a number of forces make a move and coincidentally come together, then everything is possible.

The two looked at each other, and everything was silent.

Regardless of the forces involved, this chaos will have a significant impact on the kingdom.

For the newly rising challengers, it is not terrible to have turmoil in the kingdom, but it is a pool of stagnant water.

……

On the Holy Mountain, Pius VII looked at the information in his hand and smiled for the first time in a long time.

In recent years, he has been stabbed in the back by those kings.

Caesar III was undoubtedly the most active of them all. If it weren't for the weakness of the Alpha Kingdom, it is estimated that the first person to declare the Pope illegal would not have been Charles III.

"Ulise, the Holy Hand has done a good job this time, and has kicked away another stumbling block for my Holy See.

Send someone to tell the orcs that it's their turn. Warning them that the next play must be acted like a little bit, and if there is an omission, they will be ready to be exterminated! ”

Pius VII said murderously.

Just because he's connected to orcs doesn't mean he likes them. From the standpoint of the human race, the orcs are also enemies of the Holy See, but this enemy is not a threat for the time being.

Short-lived cooperation, that's just that they have value. When their usefulness was lower than the trouble they caused, Pius VII didn't mind deposing them with one kick.

"Your Majesty, Caesar III has been rescued, and our mission is ......"

Before Ulise could finish speaking, Pius VII interrupted with a smile: "Not dead, that's right!"

If Caesar III really died, it would have pierced the sky.

The murderer of the monarch will not have a good end.

From the beginning, I didn't think the rabble would make it. If you really want to kill Caesar III, why do you need to involve the rats of the underworld?

My Holy See is not short of those dead soldiers!

There are so many flaws left, you say that Caesar III will track down all the way, and whose head will be found in the end?

was originally an enemy, and was involved in the assassination, how long could Caesar III endure them? ”

The Holy See is too hateful and does not suppress itself, just one stab of the monarch, it is not their own hands, they can completely hold it.

But the nobles of the Alpha Kingdom were miserable, and Caesar III couldn't help the Holy See, but there was no shortage of means to toss them.

This kind of messy and widely implicated assassination eucalyptus, it is good not to investigate in depth, and a large number of nobles will definitely be implicated in an investigation.

The assassination was just a means, intensifying the internal contradictions of the Alpha Kingdom, which was what Pius VII wanted.

Ulise was speechless, originally wanted to say that the maid killer was not arranged by him, but now there is no need.

The credit for sending it to the door, don't do it in vain. As for the truth of the matter, that is, there is no truth.

……

The aftermath of the stabbing eucalyptus continues to ripple.

The aristocratic prison in Canglan City was full for the first time since it was built. The original aristocratic suite is now passively turned into a multi-person room.

There are a lot of shouting grievances, complaining, and shouting filial piety, but at this moment they all seem to be powerless.

Before the matter is investigated, as a suspect, he can only stay inside.

The king was recuperating from his wounds, and the investigation into the assassination of the eucalyptus naturally fell to the crown prince and the ministers.

"Your Highness, judging from the current investigation, the assassins come from multiple killer organizations.

It is said that someone hung a huge bounty in the underground world, two million gold coins, two magic cores of the Sacred Domain Demonic Beast, and an artifact of unknown effect, which led to this large-scale assassination.

After an in-depth investigation, it was found that these bounties were offered by three different forces. Shortly after the assassination, the bounty was withdrawn.

All those in the know were silenced, and the trail was largely broken.

Being able to let so many killers get in, there are obvious loopholes in the guarding work of the palace.

We were just about to be held accountable when suddenly twenty-eight officers and men of the Guards committed suicide, all of whom were guards responsible for the safety of the royal capital that day. ”

The Prime Minister said with a gloomy face on the Archduke of Newfoundland.

Naturally, the clues will not all be broken, but the content found out is too shocking, and the clues have to be broken for the time being.

It not only involves foreign forces, but also many of the great nobles of the kingdom. The slightest carelessness will be taken advantage of by people with intentions, causing unpredictable consequences.

Who knows if the few clues found on the bright side are true or false?

This kind of thing is all too common in political struggles. If it was deliberately arranged by the mastermind behind the scenes, wouldn't it be as the enemy wished?

"Prime Minister, that's not all you find, is it? At least one of the masterminds behind the scenes, it can be determined that it is an orc, and the rest will be dug slowly! ”

Crown Prince Caesar said indifferently.

He already knew the results of the investigation, and now he is talking about it on the table, all of which is artistically processed.

The real situation is much more complicated than that. There is no evidence that they are behind the assassination, but it can be inferred that they knew about it in advance.

For the royal family, not reporting it is betrayal. Unfortunately, these messages do not condemn these people at all.

In fact, the involvement is so wide, even if the evidence is really found, it cannot be presented now.

The basis of turning the face is strength. The combined strength of the suspicious nobles is almost forty percent of the kingdom. When the lid is lifted, it means that the civil war begins.

The front line is still fighting, and it is completely not in the interests of the kingdom to start civil strife in the rear.

If it really starts a fuss regardless of it, it is still unknown which side the neutral nobles will stand.

For the young and vigorous crown prince, forbearance is a disgrace. Especially this time, Thorn Jun Eucalyptus also buttoned him up with an incompetent hat.

……

As soon as he pacified the army, Hudson received the news that the Orc Empire had announced that he was responsible for the assassination of Eucalyptus.

The aristocratic officers, who had finally settled down, became active one by one, clamoring for revenge for the king, which made Hudson's scalp tingle.

"Damn political correctness!"

secretly complained to himself, this is the first time he has found that political correctness can be so disgusting.

The coalition forces are slaughtering all sides of the orc empire, and as long as they do the job at hand, they are themselves contributing to revenge.

One by one, they are clamoring to go to the front line, regardless of the importance of the task at hand. The officers below can mess around, but Hudson, the commander, cannot, and it is his duty to ensure the logistics of the coalition forces.

"Bang!"

Hudson's document was thrown heavily on the ground.

"Enough trouble, haven't you?"

"If it's not enough, you can continue!"

"You keep saying that you are avenging Your Majesty, but in fact, you don't even listen to Your Majesty's orders.

Yes!

All of them have long skills.

You want to seek revenge from the orcs, right?

Then I will fulfill you today!

Adjutant, who is responsible for counting the list.

If you want to go to the front line, come and sign up, and I promise to send you to the front line. If you can't cut off the heads of the five beast emperors, you won't have to come back! ”

As Hudson's words landed, the noble officers who were originally clamoring instantly calmed down.

It's just shouting slogans, how can you take it seriously?

The people present were all high-ranking officers of the kingdom, except for Hudson, who was an outlier, and the youngest of the rest were all in their thirties, long past the age of secondary two.

Originally, everyone just wanted to take advantage of the popularity and gain political prestige. It's a bit embarrassing to run into a more serious manager.

If they were really sent to the front line and acted as the pioneer of the coalition army, I don't know if they could avenge the king, anyway, Caesar III could arrange the aftermath for them.

"Earl Hudson, won't we avenge Your Majesty's vengeance?"

Duke Pias stepped forward and asked.

The two sides have already turned their faces, and they don't care about adding more. If there is a chance to add to Hudson's blockage, he will naturally not give up.

"Your Majesty has summoned the order: the kingdom's army should do a good job of logistics, ensure the supply of materials for the front-line army, and not attack without authorization!

Such a straightforward order, can't Duke Pias still understand?

In such a hurry to jump out and work against His Majesty's orders, what are your intentions?

Want to cover up, what ulterior secret? ”

Hudson sneered.

Avenging the king is a sign of loyalty, and strictly carrying out the king's orders is also a sign of loyalty.

A typical magical confrontation, on the issue of political correctness, both sides play to the extreme.

The only difference is that Hudson is the coach and has more initiative by nature.

"You...... You...... You're spewing blood! ”

Duke Pias said with a pretended annoyance.

Originally, he couldn't do it when Caesar III was assassinated, but now he was killed by General Hudson, and he couldn't do it if he didn't want to play this scene.

"Humph!"

After a cold snort, Hudson said sternly: "I don't care what you think, the military orders on the battlefield are like mountains. Anyone who dares to disobey the military order will be killed!

Avenging His Majesty, the coalition forces are already doing. There is no need for some self-righteous guys to run to the front line and cause chaos. ”

It's all the truth, since the Orc Empire announced that it was responsible for the assassination of Eucalyptus, the coalition forces have stepped up their offensive against them.

Many teams that want salted fish have also been busy in recent days, and it is obvious that the elders in their respective countries have put pressure on them.

All kinds of documents condemning the atrocities of the orcs have now begun to fly all over the sky, as if they will not give up until the orc empire is destroyed.

It seems that everyone's strong dissatisfaction with the assassination of Caesar III wants to tilt their anger on the orcs. In fact, it is the patience of all parties that has been almost exhausted, and they want to end this war with no benefits as soon as possible.

There is no way, the wallet of the Alpha Kingdom is going to be squeezed dry. If the war continues, it will be everyone's turn to pay for it.
