Hanina felt the gazes of the other two falling on her, looked at Fred thoughtfully, pondered for a few seconds, and then said with a faint smile: "Then do it according to the advice of the garrison." ”

As she spoke, she picked up a copy of Fred's report and pointed to the above about the Garrison's corruption treatment, "It's just..."

"You can go about your business now. Sira Marne interrupted Hannina, looked at Fred, and said, "Call the furloughed personnel of the garrison immediately, I need the garrison to be ready for the next seventy-two hours." She didn't give Hanina another chance to pursue the matter.

Hanina was not annoyed by the interruption, nor did she repeat what she had just said. She remained in a calm silence after Sira Marne's conversation.

"Yes, sir. Fred breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Hannina as he took the order, and exited the room as fast as he could.

The three ministers didn't care about Fred's departure, or after the three of them made a statement earlier, they didn't pay attention to Fred. After Fred left, they immediately threw aside the papers in their hands and took out a document that Hannina had brought with them and looked through them carefully.

"According to reliable information obtained by our agents, some of the nobles in Crewe will be arming themselves tonight and preparing to storm the castle gates tomorrow to force Her Majesty the Queen to reconvene the 'Council of Nobles'. Hannina said in a deep tone, "But I'm not worried about it, I'm more worried about... The aristocrats can preach their plans with impunity, and without any disguise... Where does their confidence come from?"

No one was able to answer Hanina's questions, as Cowlier and Sira Marne were also confused.

"Sir Marne, do you have any definite news of your father?" said Hanina, after a brief silence, a sensitive question to Sira Marne.

"For my father's information, I am also limited to what is provided by the Intelligence Section of the Military Department, for this information... I even went to visit my sister in the afternoon, but I didn't get any useful information from her. Silah Marne doesn't shy away from the question.

"I can understand your feelings, but... I have to warn you that you are doing so against the law. Hannina and Sirah Marne looked at each other, "According to the "Government Office Regulations", any incident involving one's own relatives, no matter how high the position of the supervising official at that time, should consciously avoid it, and not only did you not avoid it, but you also did not report the information you knew in the first place, and even participated in the incident itself. ”

"I will personally explain it to Her Majesty the Queen. Sira Marne frowned, an expression that no longer said anything more about the matter.

"So, should you avoid tonight's action?" Hannina didn't intend to just let Sira Marne go.

"What do you want to say?"

"I'm afraid you're going to get answers you don't want. Hanina said with a blank face: "I have seen many mistakes made by police officers in this case... They can make mistakes, but you can't, especially tonight. ”

"But Her Majesty the Queen has authorized me to deal with this matter. ”

"Is that because Her Majesty doesn't want to embarrass you, and you want Her Majesty to be embarrassed?"

"I—" Silah-Marne didn't know how to answer the question, and she ended up silent.

Obviously, the rivalry between the two ended with Hanina's victory.

Hanina didn't look particularly proud because of this, she turned her head to look at the old mage, "I need all the cadets of the Non-commissioned Officer Academy to be in a state of readiness. ”

"Don't worry, I'm ready before I come. ”

"Very well!" Hannina smiled, "Her Majesty the Queen has given me full command of this force, and what you need to do tonight is simply to stay in this room with Sir Sir Sira Marne to coordinate the overall situation. ”

Under Cowlier's incredulous gaze, Hanina stood up and pulled out another document she was carrying, "With the human and physical evidence currently in the hands of the police department, we can order the arrest of all the nobles recorded on this document at any time, but our police personnel are limited, and more importantly, they are distributed in many parts of the city, and it is very difficult to arrest them at the same time." So... By order of Her Majesty the Queen, our arrest operation will begin the moment they gather!"

"Are you really going to arrest them all?" asked Cowlier, holding back the unhappiness in his heart.

"They want to gather forces to attack Fort Kaval, and this is no different from the rebels!" Hannina listened to her chest and looked at Cowlier.

"If they are rebels, you should hand over command to the military department. Sira Marne saw that Hanina was leaving, and immediately stood up and said in a questioning tone: "The police station meddles in military affairs, but it is a very illegal operation, do you imagine clearly?"

"They're not rebels until tomorrow, and tonight... They are just a group of criminals who endanger national security, and they are completely within the purview of the police department. Hannina replied to Sira Marne's question, and walked quickly to the door of the conference room.

Collier looked at the argument between the two in front of him, and the trace of unhappiness in his heart suddenly disappeared without a trace, and when Hanina left the conference room, he looked at the slightly angry Silah Marne and said, "I thought this was a meeting you presided over." ”

"What else would you do but provoke?" said Sirah-Marne, who had been holding back in her heart for a long time, in front of the old mage.

"I'll be a lot... Have you forgotten that I was actually in charge of the preparation of the police station?" Collier was not angry, he had long been accustomed to all kinds of satirical topics in his long wandering life, "Even the knight training and wizard training in Seka Town are the first to be founded by me, and I am also involved in..."

"Well, let's talk a little bit useful, Cowlil... Headmaster!" Syrah Marne interrupted Cowlier impatiently, "Tonight will decide the fate of many. ”

"You seem nervous, it's not like you, Sir. ”

"I'm also a nobleman of the kingdom, I'm the second daughter of the Marne family, and I'm investigating my father right now, and my father maybe... may be involved in this event. Sira Marne slammed her hands on the conference table, "I tried to make sense of why they were doing this, but... I can't figure out why... Why should they oppose His Majesty, oppose His Majesty's cause!"

"Your Majesty is leading the Crewe to land on the continent of Alan... It was His Majesty who ended the perennial civil war in Crewe's realm, and he unified the currency between the realms and brought all the family wars together!" Sira Marne tried her best to restrain her emotions, "but they still have to oppose Your Majesty, and oppose Your Majesty's right decisions... Why?"

Sira Marne's agitated appearance made the old mage who had seen the joke retract the smile on his face, and when Sira Marne's emotions were uncontrollably ready to explode, he quietly cast a soothing spell and pressed the bell on his desk.

The door was pushed open from the outside as the bell rang, and a female knight in heavy knight's armor walked into the conference room with two soldiers, while Sirah-Marne was crouching on the conference table with her chest in pain.

"Sir's heart attack!" Sirah Marne's Hu Cong Xiu Ni put two black pills from the medicine she was carrying, and skillfully put them into Sira Marne's mouth, and the sound of eager footsteps outside the conference room was heard, and two middle-aged people dressed as bachelors hurriedly entered the conference room.

In a moment of scramble, Sheila Marne was helped out of the conference room by two guards.

"Thank you for your pacifying magic, Sir Collier. Hughny bowed solemnly to Cowrell at the door, thanking him.

Collier smiled and nodded, "It's my honor to be able to help you. ”

Hughny smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, Sir... I'll have to leave for a while, and your meeting may be postponed for a while. ”

As the door of the conference room "clanged", the conference room became extremely quiet, and Collier slowly returned to his seat and leaned back in his chair, enjoying this rare peace.

...

The Arrow Territory's Western Territory is facing the undead Legion's forward headquarters, even if the storm is approaching, it is unlikely that it will be as calm as Crewe City is at night.

Today is the third day of the siege of the Death Fortress, and the command is still plagued by the fortress's defensive shields, and countless plans that seem to be useful have been proven unusable in the past three days.

As night fell, Botherim, the director of the Mage Tower, and Leah, the chief mage of the kingdom, asked to meet the king, bringing with them new data that they had organized a team of mages to study over the past three days.

"It turns out that our previous speculation can be valid, the shield of the fortress has been active for three days, but it has not seen any substantial attrition, but has become more powerful. After Botlem and Leah looked at each other, the younger Leah reported: "According to our investigation results, the energy of the fortress's shield comes from the power of the earth, which is no longer pure necromancy, and the construction knowledge involved in it cannot be deciphered with our current knowledge. ”

"That is to say... You've been busy for the past three days?" Peddy leaned back in a chair covered with a fluffy blanket, one arm propped up on her head, and responded to Leah's report with a languid attitude. He was used to bad news, so Leah's debriefing didn't make him feel much of a fluctuating mood.

"Your Majesty, you may consider my suggestion to build a simple mage tower around the fortress with the current technology of the mage tower, which can be completed in a maximum of three months as long as the materials are sufficient. Botelem seized the opportunity and said, "Besides, the current weather is not suitable for launching a larger-scale war for either the Undead Legion or the Suke Plains, so it is better to wait a little longer." ”

"I have plenty of time to fight this war, and I believe that with enough time, the fortress in front of me will hardly have any difficulties for me, but..."Pei Di kept strengthening his tone as he spoke, "However, the entire Ellan Continent is watching this war... You want me to sleep three months in a row under the watchful eyes of countless people?"

"I'm just giving tactical advice, and as for political considerations... Not my reference range. Botlem shrugged.

Ignoring Botlem's words, Pedi looked at Leah and asked, "Have you done any research and experiments on the method I proposed three days ago to transport soldiers into the fortress by means of magical teleportation?"

"We came to you primarily to report this to you. Archmage Leah took a document from her spatial barrier, "Based on our initial experiments, your idea can be realized, but only if we clear the teleportation area, otherwise our teleportation node may be changed by the necromancer on the opposite side at any time." ”

"It's not an easy thing to do. Pedi took the document handed over by Mage Leah and didn't open it immediately, "You should know that the shield of the fortress is very strong in that area, and the evil energy is also thicker than in other areas, and it is very likely that the undead army has a very large evil altar there. ”

"With the current teleportation technology of the Mage Tower, can't it still shield the snooping of evil powers?" Pei Di looked at Botelem with anticipation in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, we can indeed set up shielding circles on our teleportation nodes, but I can't guarantee absolute safety, because the corrosive nature of evil energy is too strong, and our research on necromancy is almost zero, and our opponents know everything about our construction spells. "If something goes wrong here, there's a good chance your soldiers will be teleported into the monster horde." ”

"Well—" Pedi scratched the stubble off his face, banishing those unrealistic ideas out of his head, and after a moment of silence, he flipped through the document that Master Leah handed him, many of which were complex formulas, and he skipped them to read the core tactical issues that he was most concerned about.

Pedi looked very carefully, and when the strong flames of the tent slowly subsided, and the strong cold poured into the tent, he put down the papers, he looked at the two archmages who were still sitting next to him, and said, "You continue to pay attention to the fluctuations of evil energy in the fortress, so that the mages are always in a state of readiness, waiting for my orders." ”

"Yes!" both replied at the same time.

"I need to rest now. Pedi looked tired and tactfully expressed his desire to be alone for a while.

"Allow me to leave, then. Botelem bowed modestly, and when he retreated to the door, he turned to the king again, pointed to the fire, and said, "The fire is almost extinguished, and the temperature in the tent may drop rapidly after we leave." ”
