Chapter 243: The Terrans Intervene
The plague and poison in the land of shallow analysis were really put by humans?
The news mentioned by Morgan in the letter surprised Lu Chengfeng, Zu Liang, and Yue Mingxi. If this is true, then the Lanwu Empire will be bad, and a battle with the Fallen Spirit Clan will most likely be unavoidable. Those guys in the House of Elders are already hostile to humans, and now that they find an excuse, they will never let go of this opportunity.
What kind of organization is the damn violent search and arrest group?
The reborn Lu Chengfeng is sure that he has never heard of it. Yue Mingxi was born in the Heavenly Apocalypse Sect, and the news channels he had were the top in the world, but he had never heard of this organization. From this, it can be confirmed that this organization is either newly founded and has no prestige, or it is a very hidden organization!
That's bad news.
Lu Chengfeng sighed in his heart, and then looked down.
"I have a vague feeling that there is a terrible conspiracy behind this, and even the upper echelons of my clan have been exploited. Perhaps, it was the man...... Damn, the effect of the plague has become severe, and there is blood red in front of me...... The hoodwinked House of Elders is no longer reliable, perhaps with the help of humans...... In short, come to Neupera, the source of the poison and plague, and now here......"
Neupella!
Lu Chengfeng had heard of this place name, and it was an important town of the Fallen Spirit Clan. Although not as famous as the Dark City, there are at least tens of thousands of fallen spirits living there. And if the source of the plague moves there......
Is a city going to perish?
Thinking about the tens of thousands of fallen spirit clans dying from plague and poison, Lu Chengfeng felt a shudder.
The content of the letter was too shocking, especially in the last few sentences, there was a lot of news. Yue Mingxi pondered for a while before asking, "What do you think?"
Zu Liang thought for a moment and guessed: "This alchemist named Morgan is likely to be infected himself after finding the true source. Before he died, he wrote this letter and sent his henchmen to the nearest human stronghold, Camp Affalia. It's a pity that when I finally passed by the Shallow Analysis Land, I was unfortunately attacked by the poisonous spider king - maybe some other monster, in short, died here unexpectedly. β
"That's how it should be. Lu Chengfeng also agreed with Zu Liang's guess.
"However, why did he tell the news to the human race, instead of telling the Fallen Spirit Clan? Could it be that the Stupid Elder's House of the Fallen Spirit Race was really manipulated? If it was true, who was that person and could have such great power?" Yue Mingxi then asked a few questions.
"That mysterious soothsayer!"
Almost at the same time, Lu Chengfeng and the three of them thought of the person mentioned by Krent.
"So, what should we do?" Zu Liang said with some excitement: "Such a big thing is not something that a few of us can mix with a few Sixth Orders. β
Lu Chengfeng was reliable at the critical moment, he thought about it, and simply made a decision: "Go back immediately, give Morgan's letter to the Seventh Princess, and then transfer it to Krent." In any case, the source of the plague is indicated above. As long as the queen of the Spirit Race has the heart and sends a master to Noypera to investigate, she can let the truth come to light!"
"Good. β
After putting away the letter and protecting the body of the informant, the four of them quickly returned the way they came. When they returned to the camp, the princess and the prince were a little surprised at their speed. But soon, they saw the letter from Morgan!
"Violent Raiders?"
The third prince didn't expect that the outbreak of the plague was really related to human organizations, and his face couldn't help but change greatly. After a few seconds of froze, he quickly came back to his senses, shouted to his subordinates, and then wrote a note for him to quickly pass back to Kaiyang. The content is simple, let the Empire's intelligence agencies investigate everything about the Violent Search and Capture Force at all costs.
"The source of the plague has reached Neupera?"
The Seventh Princess also frowned, she picked up the map of the Fallen Spirit Clan and searched for it. When she learned about the size and number of people in Nojpera, her face couldn't help but become more and more solemn.
"Is this letter reliable?" Boken, the garrison officer of the camp, also knew that the stakes were high, and couldn't help but interject.
Boken's words calmed down the Seventh Princess a little. True, the letter was found only from the body of a dead man, and the possibility that someone forged it does not rule out. The best thing to do is to notify Krent immediately and have him come and evaluate it himself. With his relationship with Morgan, he was probably able to recognize the authenticity of the letter.
Although the Fallen Spirit Race is closed, it is still possible to send a message in the case of Krent's message.
Almost that night, the Spirit Clan envoy riding the owl beast descended again.
"Any news from Morgan?"
After meeting with the Seventh Princess and others, his first words were this.
"The news is here, but I'm sorry......" The seventh princess's tone darkened, so that Krent immediately realized something, and her face couldn't help but turn pale. However, before he could say anything, the Seventh Princess recounted the process of discovering the letter, and took out the scribbled letter written in the lingua franca.
With a glimmer of hope, Krent looked closely, but his face soon darkened again.
After carefully reading the contents of the letter twice, his face gradually became solemn. After a while, he turned his head to look at Lu Chengfeng and Yue Mingxi: "This letter seems to have been discovered by the two of you, right?"
Yue Mingxi nodded, and gave a general description of the figure and appearance of the messenger.
"Can't be wrong......" Krent determined the origin of the letter, but soon couldn't help but feel emotional, his shoulders twitched, and he whimpered a little: "Morgan, my old friend, I can't imagine that you really ......"
The lifespan of fallen spirits is generally one or two times longer than that of humans. At Crent's age, it's likely that Morgan has known each other for decades. Such an old friend was suddenly killed, and he died under the plague, you can imagine the grief after hearing the bad news.
There was a sudden silence in the room.
In the face of such a Crent, no one can say anything. Even the three princes, who are good at figuring out people's hearts, feel that it is better to be silent at this time. Finally, Crent didn't lose his temper for long, only more than ten seconds, and then controlled his emotions. He tilted his face and rubbed his eyes, and after a while, he suddenly returned to his previous appearance. He sat up straight and asked, "This letter must have been written by Morgan, there is no doubt about it, and the content is mostly true, I know him." So, what are you going to do after reading the content?"
The third prince glanced at his princess sister and said, "Strictly investigate the violent search and arrest group, and then ask the alchemy master of the empire to race against time to study the corresponding antidote." For the rest, I hope that your Majesty will do everything you can to avoid war and send someone to investigate Neupera. According to Morgan, the source of the plague is there now. It wasn't clear what was going on, but if he hadn't lied, the investigation would have found something. β
"He is worthy of being the prince of the empire. β
Lu Chengfeng, who was listening as an investigator of the Apocalypse Sect, nodded secretly. The arrangements of the three princes were almost the same as he thought. If progress can be made on these fronts, then the war between the Empire and the Fallen Spirits will be completely resolved, and the conspiracy mentioned by Morgan will not succeed!
But no one expected that Krent's fluttering three words would knock them back.
"Impossible!"
Seeing the astonishment on the faces of the three princes of the empire, Krent sighed and explained: "The differences between the Council of Elders and Her Majesty the Queen have become more and more serious in the past few days, and the situation is also very tense. If it weren't for the righteous name, the queen wouldn't even be able to suppress the House of Elders. In such a situation, it is impossible to send a master to Neupera - the danger there must also be imagined. Ordinary soldiers in the past were completely sent to death, and we were powerless. β
"Has the confrontation within the Spirit Clan reached this point?"
Hearing Krent's reluctant admission, the faces of the third prince and the seventh princess showed surprise, and of course, disappointment.
If it were usual, hearing the infighting between evil neighbors who had a bad relationship, the two would probably watch the play with joy. But now, once the House of Elders overpowers the Queen, it will apply for war at any cost, and there will be a war on the border immediately. If he could, the three princes really didn't want this infighting to break out now.
"So, how about we humans meddling?"
The third prince pondered for a moment and proposed a workaround: "Your Elders' House is against the queen and is trying to start a war, and the name of the fight is nothing more than human poisoning, taking the initiative to create a plague and slaughter the villagers. But if the empire openly sent a delegation into Andafdor, the royal city of the fallen spirit clan, to find out the truth about the poisoning, then even if the House of Elders wanted to tear its face, it would have no excuse. β
This is a dangerous move.
The Fallen Spirit Race is hostile to humans, and now the relationship is very tense because of the disaster in the Land of Analysis. The mission sent by the Empire is likely to be openly attacked, and the members of the mission will be in danger. But then again, the internal affairs of the Spirit Race have reached the point where they are on the verge of breaking out, and if there is no external force to intervene, it must be a coup d'Γ©tat. In this case, the Empire intervenes on the premise of avoiding war, which may be able to make the situation more chaotic. It is possible to take advantage of the fire, or to wait for an opportunity to help, or to try to adjust the contradictions between the two parties!
The premise is that the members of the mission must be bold and careful, have enough ability to adapt to changes, and not be afraid of death! This proposal is undoubtedly tempting to the queen's faction, which is at a disadvantage and tends to live in peace with humans. But after Krent hesitated for a moment, he was still not optimistic about the plan of the third prince: "The previous war mobilization has brought many troops from the House of Elders to the front line. Even if the Empire wanted to send an embassy, they wouldn't let you in. Moreover, the last level to the royal city of Andafdo, the Dark City, has also been completely controlled by the House of Elders!" His words made the third prince immediately understand the inadequacy of his plan.
