169: Refractive Castle

The Queen Mother smiled back, her long eyelashes were full of charm, and replied softly: "Don't worry, Melaculus has already caused public outrage, and no one will support a traitor who seeks glory." In addition, Perdiccas is also ready, and he will do it tonight, and everyone present has promised not to leave the main hall half a step until the assassination operation is successful. ”

Elrens nodded and didn't speak. After a brief pause, the regent over there spoke to the crowd again: "As I have just said, there is no doubt that the evidence of Mel'agros' collusion with the enemy is unequivocal, and it is really a crime that deserves death! Otherwise, we will definitely lose according to the current state of the war!"

After Perdiccas said this, his sharp eyes glanced around at everyone present, and the hall was silent, all waiting for his next step. The deputy regent took a breath, stood up and saluted Olympia in a calm tone: "Your Royal Highness, since Emperor Bixia fell into a coma, you are the most honorable person in the country, may I ask what your opinion is on the question of Melaculus?"

Olympias returned the salute with great grace and replied with a smile: "I completely agree with His Royal Highness the Regent, and I hereby declare the highest punishment for Melagaros on behalf of the royal family of Pera!

"Thanks to the Queen Mother's support, Weichen will definitely do his best and live up to the Queen Mother's trust!!" Perdiccas smiled with satisfaction. Again a salute.

The Queen Mother's answer was expected by the Regent, and in fact, before this meeting, he had already tested the attitude of everyone present many times. Try to make sure the results are foolproof. Of course, he had to make a gesture of respect for the opinions of the people first, so after questioning Olympias, Perdiccas turned his head to the right side of the hall.

On the rows of seats on the right, a number of important ministers of Pera gathered. What they all have in common is that they don't belong to any of the three shili, or rather, they each have their own little shili. These people are famous, powerful, and powerful. Perdiccas had always been the object of his courtship, and their support must be enlisted at this critical moment, otherwise he would succeed in getting rid of Melagros. Pera will also continue to be in disarray.

"Your Majesty, High Priest, Master Star Traveler, you represent the will of the gods and the wisdom of human magic, what do you think about this?"

A long-bearded old man wearing a white sacrificial robe with the symbol of gold and thunder. It was none other than the esteemed chief priest of the Temple of the Twelve Periphera, Eurymedon. He was the religious leader of the countries of the Olympian League, and had always focused only on religious affairs and stayed away from political struggles, but this time he made his position clear from the side in a succinct and shocking way: "The gods spurn those who collaborate with infidels!"

Aristotle, who was dressed in silver magic robes, sighed and said gloomily, "The Wizards' Guild and I don't approve of Mel'aglos' approach, but we're not prepared to deal with him. If you feel like you've made the right decision, go ahead and do it. ”

Perdiccas nodded, the High Priest and the Star Traveler in the Olympia League were transcendent, like this internal struggle matter. Originally, he didn't plan to get help from the two, as long as they didn't oppose him. But the attitude of the next person was quite wavering. That was the Minister of the Interior and Prison State of Claterus. The so-called prison state is responsible for mediating the relationship between the two regent and maintaining the stability of the country.

Craterus had tried to remain as neutral as possible since the two became regent and vice-regent, but at this moment he also knew that reconciliation was impossible. So without waiting for the regent to speak, he shook his head, and said in a very low mood: "Melaculus is to blame, but I hope you will try to control the scope of the attack and not hurt the innocent." ”

Perdiccas breathed a sigh of relief and immediately replied cheerfully: "I have a score for this, you can rest assured." ”

The regent's gaze turned to several field marshals in golden and gorgeous military uniforms below Xiangyou, and asked solemnly: "Marshal Antipater, Marshal Lisimachus, Marshal Antigonus, are you willing to support me and jointly crusade against traitors?"

Antipater was the commander of the Macedonian legion, Lysimachus was the commander of the Thracian legion, which had suffered a heavy defeat earlier, and Antigonus was the commander of the Anatolian legion, whose main force was now divided by the enemy on the other side of the sea.

These three marshals, together with the naval commander Ptolemy, are known as the four heavenly kings of the Pera army, second only to the chief and deputy regents in strength. However, after all the battles, most of the troops under their command were annihilated, and their influence could no longer be compared with that of Ptolemy, who remained largely intact in Liliang. Because of this, the three marshals had a bitter enmity with the enemy, and even Mel'agros was extremely dissatisfied with the attempt to negotiate peace. At this time, in the face of the regent's inquiry, they immediately expressed their support.

Seeing that none of the royal ministers present opposed his decision, Perdiccas was very satisfied, and the thin lips that had been pursed finally showed a rare smile. He strolled to the center of the hall, where a diamond-shaped magical instrument about four meters long was placed, covered in a layer of incantation-covered crystals.

The Lord Regent pressed his palm against the circular sun marker at the corner of the instrument, and uttered a spell from his mouth, which glowed softly, and a set of rays appeared above the crystal. When Elrence looked closely, he saw a castle-like tower-shaped building, surrounded by heavy stone walls.

"Look, everyone, this is Fort Refract, where the staff headquarters controlled by Melagaros is located. ”

The Lord Regent pointed to the tower and said in a deep voice, "Melagaros has been operating here for a long time. Especially in recent years, every important post in the staff has been controlled by his minions, and it is difficult for outsiders to break into their inner circle. In order to find out the situation of the Refractive Castle. I've done a lot of work, but I still don't know much about it. I only know that this stone wall on the periphery has a magic shield attached to it, and it also has a detection function within a range of 500 meters. The stone walls are patrolled by sentry and sentry, which is made up of Aghma warriors selected from the Royal Shield-Bearer Guard, in teams of ten people, passing through every five minutes......"

Although the regent did not fully grasp the situation of the fortress of Refraction in the base camp of Melaglos, he still gave a detailed account for more than half an hour. After everyone listened attentively. For a moment the hall fell silent.

Obviously, the defense of the Refractive Fortress is extremely strong, and it will not be easy to capture it. Now the front-line troops are very tight, if the elite troops are mobilized to come back and attack on a large scale. Not only will it bring serious casualties, but it will also affect the already very unfavorable situation on the front line. To make matters worse, once the news of the mobilization of troops leaks out, it is likely to force the Mollegros dog to jump over the wall. Command your troops to launch a large-scale armed mutiny!

If civil strife breaks out when the foreign war is already close to defeat. Pera's army will definitely fall apart immediately, and the enemy army will take advantage of the situation, and the whole situation will be irreparable! Of course, this is an ending that every important member of the royal family present could not accept, and everyone only felt the pressure on their bodies, and after a short period of silence, the Minister of the Interior and the overseer of the state, Craterus, sighed: "Your Royal Highness the Regent, since the Refractive Castle is so heavily defended, may I ask you what you can do about capturing Melagaros?"

"I've been thinking about this for a long time. Perdiccas replied with a deep groan, "First of all." I do not think that the current situation is suitable for mobilizing large armies to attack. ”

Everyone nodded their heads when they heard this, and there was no doubt about it.

The regent then continued: "Since there is no numerical advantage. Then we can only select the elite to carry out a surprise attack, break through the defense as quickly as possible, enter the Privy Council in the center of the Refractive Castle, and capture and kill Melagros who works here in one fell swoop! As long as the leader of the other party is captured or killed, and the rest of the minions are leaderless, we will definitely not be able to make any big waves under our coercion and temptation. ”

Empress Dowager Olympia asked worriedly: "This jihua is good, but it is difficult to be foolproof. If we are unable to mobilize our troops to blockade the area around Fort Refraction, our assault forces may not have enough manpower to intercept it if Melagros senses that the situation is not good and simply creates chaos and escapes. If he really succeeds in escaping, whether he rebels or joins the enemy, it will definitely lead to catastrophic consequences!"

"The Queen Mother is right, Her Royal Highness Jihua is too risky, and this matter needs to be considered in the long run. Several marshals also spoke up to dissuade them.

The regent's face was gloomy, and after everyone had finished speaking, he said coldly: "There is no foolproof Jihua in the world, only by gambling your life will you win! Everything has been prepared, in order to avoid leaking the news, this matter must be carried out tonight! The main roads around have been arranged to be monitored by the elite agents of the Internal Guard Legion, even if he is lucky enough to escape from the Refractive Light Castle, he must immediately pursue and kill with all his might!"

Seleucus, the commander of the Inner Guard Legion behind him, stood up at this time, his whole body was wrapped in a mysterious black cloth, only revealing a pair of red eyes, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, and he said murderously: "I am responsible for the execution of this operation, tonight is either the death of Mel Ageros or my death!!"
