Strange, why not start yet?

Everyone in the room was ready for a meeting, but after waiting for a while, they didn't see the leader who was supposed to preside over the meeting speak, so they cast strange eyes on them.

Then everyone found that the leader, who had just questioned "Little Baggins" imposingly, now didn't know what was going on, and was actually staring at Little Baggins in a daze.

After staying up all night, his cloudy eyes with a lot of bloodshot were jealous, confused, panicked, and dazed...... All kinds of weak and chaotic emotions, coupled with the slightly gray sideburns, made him look unusually ......

Hoary.

Right! It's old!

After this strange thought came to their minds, the rebels in the house were unconsciously startled.

The real age of the leader of his family should not be fifty years old, although his face is slightly old, and his eyes are often inexplicably tired, but he is still in the prime of life.

Therefore, among the members of the chaotic party in the room, although some people were dissatisfied with his arbitrariness, some questioned his decision-making, and some wanted to pull him down and take him to the top of the position, no one really felt that he was old.

But now......

"Chief?"

With a slightly raised question at the end, the eyes of the chaotic party were pulled from the main seat of the long table and fell on "Little Baggins", who was sitting in the lowest position.

This young man, who was not yet twenty years old, although slightly thin, looked very straight, and even when he sat on a low chair without a backrest, his back was still straight, and there was no rickety.

And he probably didn't sleep very well last night, his black hair was slightly messy, there was even some frost on the collar, and there were a lot of bloodshot eyes, but the black eyes were still smart and sharp, as if they were swaying the master's endless energy.

Especially when he looked at the leader on the throne, the focused gaze of the pair of eyes was faintly scorching, like a young beast that had spotted an old and weak antelope, showing its sharp minions towards the prey that had nowhere to escape......

Is this the "tiger" in Tiger's mouth? It's really like it......

After seeing this extremely contrasting scene, except for little Phoebe, who was sitting on a chair with toffee, almost everyone in the room had the same thought in their minds.

Chieftain...... It really seems to be old.

……

didn't know that his "desire to arrest" the middle-aged Joshua had been misinterpreted into ambition by a group of chaotic parties, and after waiting for a long time to see the meeting start, Leon, who was eager to collect information, couldn't help frowning slightly, and couldn't help but urge again:

"Lord Nathan!"

"You've wasted a lot of unnecessary time just now by doubting my true identity and then my true abilities, now it's time to move on to the meeting!"

After hearing the loud reminder from "Little Baggins", the middle-aged man couldn't help but tremble slightly, and finally struggled out of that weird sense of loss, but after meeting the eyes of everyone, the topic that had been prepared all night last night became extremely sluggish, and he couldn't say anything anyway.

“……”

I seem to know what is the thing that has just "flowed away" from me......

Feeling this inexplicable "sense of domination", looking at the strange sights of the chaotic parties, the middle-aged man finally understood what he had lost after the two rounds of gambling just now.

It is the "right to speak" that takes the initiative to control the situation, the "trust" gained as a leader, and even the "blind obedience" to oneself that has gradually been cultivated because of the correct judgments made in the past!

And these things are the most basic power!

Although I don't read much, politics is actually about getting more people to believe in you, agree with your judgment, be willing to listen to you, and then gather the power to change the status quo. ’

Remembering the words he heard from "Little Baggins" last night, and comparing the scene in front of him, the middle-aged man couldn't help but feel weak.

So...... Little Baggins just exposed those two flaws to me, just to make me make two wrong judgments in a row in front of everyone, and then shake the credibility of my words, and then take the opportunity to steal part of the right to speak?

Could it be that he had been plotting before he entered this room to try to take the position of leader from me? Or...... Even those questions from last night were a temptation for me?

……

With a stomach full of questions and a huge sense of crisis like a man's back, the middle-aged man, who had no choice, had to take a deep breath and preside over the meeting in accordance with Leon's "instructions":

"Today...... We need to determine what to do in the next period of time, starting with Tiger. ”

From the materials he prepared last night, he took out a few marked maps, and after pushing them from the long table, the middle-aged man stared at "Little Baggins" and said expressionlessly:

"Your mission is still the same as before, to lead people to set fire to the Lauther Arcade and the surrounding rich area, but the intensity and scope must continue to expand!"

Set fire to the Rauther Arcade?

After hearing the middle-aged Joshua's words, Leon's brow couldn't help but raise slightly, remembering the task that the red-haired director had given him, to investigate the arsonist who haunted the Ruther Arcade. (Chapter 116)

So the director really found the right target, if he hadn't gone to the Rose Manor to save people, maybe he would have met the anomaly holder in the chaotic party sooner than now...... It is said that the rebels have continued to set fire to it for so long, but they don't really set a fire, I'm afraid the purpose is not to attack the rich area, right?

"Good! That's a good job! ”

As Leon frowned and pondered, the burn man took the map and looked at it, then smiled coldly in his eyes.

"Lao Tzu was working in the smelter at the beginning, and he was almost scalded to death by the juice that turned down, and the owner of the bastard factory insisted that he had no money to pay, but he had the money to live in such a good house in private, and I wanted to put it big!"

"Pay attention to the scale."

After glancing at Leon, who did not object, the middle-aged man turned his head to look at the burned man, frowned and reminded:

"Your purpose is not to hurt people too much, but to cause panic on a large scale, force those rich people to put pressure on the police department, and try to transfer all the patrol forces in the royal capital to facilitate the movement of others!"

"Know, know, isn't it just a target?"

The burned man waved his hand and said impatiently:

"I'm very familiar with this job, I can't go wrong, you just say the next one!"

“……”

There is no way to take this messy goods, and after the middle-aged man took a deep breath again, he assigned a group of tasks to the chaotic party in turn.

Oliver continues to be in charge of the transaction, but this time in addition to buying weapons from the Ryan family's arms company, he also has to use the arms deal to focus on the location of several weapons warehouses.

Taking advantage of the chaotic period of the alternation of power in the military headquarters, we need to seize the opportunity to raid the armament warehouse and try to get some high-powered weapons and bombs......"

"Then Lucy and Luke, their mission changed, and Lucy made it a priority to infiltrate the 'gear' shipping company and investigate the situation of private ships that did not accept ordinary travelers.

Luke, on the other hand, has to infiltrate the boarding tower, check the airship shifts leading to the kingdom of Crock, and take the members of the group who have retired from the army to plant bombs on the important pillars of the boarding tower! ”

"What ?!!!"

After listening to the task assignment given by the middle-aged man, not only did Leon, who was sitting at the end, shrink his pupils, but the chaotic parties in the room were even more in an uproar.

Oliver, who had a big belly, stood up first, and asked with a stunned expression:

"Lord Nathan! You're going to have us attack the boarding tower? ”

"To be precise, it's an attack on a group of airships heading to the Kingdom of Crock."

After correcting Oliver's statement, the middle-aged man said calmly with his eyes:

"Blowing up the boarding tower is just a last resort, what I really hope is to be able to kill the sniffers of the Crock Kingdom and get back all the information about the mineral deposits in the kingdom's counties."

A sniffer in the Kingdom of Crock? What are the mineral deposits of the counties of the kingdom?

"What's the point of getting these back?"

Luke, who was short in stature, couldn't help but stand up as well, and questioned:

"We don't need that information at all, and it's the Kingdom of Crock, the Capital of Machines! The strongest country in the entire western world, the money that the kingdom owed them six years ago has not been paid back until now!

Let's not talk about whether this attack can be done or not, if we really blow up the boarding tower and kill those sniffers in the end, under the pressure of the Crocker Kingdom, the entire kingdom will desperately search for us! Even if the assassination of the king is successful, maybe the consequences will not be so serious! ”

"I know, but this thing still has to be done."

Faced with the doubts of a group of chaotic parties, the middle-aged man spoke:

"I still can't explain the reason to you, but just like the countless correct judgments I have made in the past at those critical moments, if we don't do this, we and this country will only be greeted with worse results!"

"But ......"

"No, but."

The middle-aged man knocked on the table and announced with a calm look in his eyes:

"You should all have some guesses about my true ability, and now I can tell you directly that being able to shuttle between all the doors of the royal capital is indeed only a part of my ability, and my real ability is...... Little Baggins? What are you doing? ”

"Nothing."

Getting up and leaving the chair at the end of the long table, and walking to the door of the conference room, Leon reached for the nameplate on the door frame, and replied without looking back:

"If you say yours, I'll touch it."
