vs 23 After the confusion

"It may not be possible now, but I can wait, I have endless vitality, and just a hundred years is just a sleep for me... But after a hundred years, will you still exist?" the voice in the darkness became particularly pleasant at this moment, "After a hundred years, your soul belongs to me!"

"Maybe in ten years' time, your memories will once again be sealed in a dark prison. ”

"I like your self-confidence, young king. ”

The power of darkness slowly dispersed between the two conversations, chaotic footsteps and shouts replaced the silence, and flickering firelight gradually covered the darkness.

As the darkness receded, Pedi stared at the familiar figure lying on the ground two meters in front of him.

"Your Majesty!" the generals, led by Lundin-Reagan, rushed into the dilapidated tent and approached their king.

"Get out of here!"

Pedi yelled at all the generals who came close, but he didn't leave the tent.

"Willie-Jon!" Pedy was in a bad mood, and he roared, "Within ten seconds, those who did not leave the camp will be killed on the spot!"

The cold command and the killing intent piercing into the bone marrow made everyone feel an indelible chill in their hearts, and in a burst of chaotic footsteps, in less than ten seconds, only Pedi and Morinda lying motionless on the ground were left in the dilapidated tent, and Leah, who was overconsumed.

"Stomping" Pei Di slowly approached the place where the Morinda was, although the Holy Force had long since felt the signs of the old orc's life, but Pei Di still did not give up probing his pulse and heartbeat.

He had already exhausted his life force before the dark power devoured the Morinda, and Ferrola was not bored of using evil energy against a corpse, so the old orc's body was preserved.

"You'll always be my friend, man. Pedi deliberately said this in a very relaxed tone, and then looked up at the top of the tent that had been poked out of the hole.

In the sky outside, an invisible magical shield was slowly covering the area he was.

But Pedi wasn't looking at the magic shield, his crimson eyes were full of the dim sky... The misty sky was still dark, but he could see it with fascination, his gaze as if he could see through the fog and look directly at the stars.

Archmage Leah's weak voice came, "Ser Morinda is a true warrior..."

"Old Sir has always been a warrior of the kingdom, always has been!" Peddy interrupted Leah, with a confused expression of anger and self-reproach that Leah couldn't understand.

"Sir Morinda said at the last moment... The future belongs to the Kingdom of Kruria. Leah's voice at the moment carried a tremor that could not be concealed and a sense of collapse after the danger had passed.

"The future... It must belong to the Kingdom of Kruria!" Pedi said in an affirmative tone, glancing at the noisy tent door. After walking to the dusty manager's chair and sitting down in silence, he quietly looked around the messy scene in the tent, and began to recall the assassination that had just happened to him.

Whether it was the police department, the intelligence service, and the castle agents, Pedi knew early on that someone was planning to assassinate him. Moreover, since his coronation, the police department has indeed investigated no less than ten assassinations against Fort Kawal.

The police department and the castle agents have deduced countless possible assassinations, and Pedi himself has thought about the assassination he will encounter and made arrangements accordingly...

But accidents still happen...

"I'm such a failed king. Pedi whispered a little depressed.

At this time, the divine power emerged spontaneously and enveloped Pedi's body, causing the depressed Pedi to feel a pleasant and warm feeling. In such warmth, Pedi enjoys the rare tranquility after the chaos, so that the irritability in his heart gradually goes away, and the frustration is also repaired.

After half an hour of silence, Pedi looked at Leah, who had regained her composure, "Sir Morinda..."

"Sir Morinda is a true warrior who will not hesitate to give his life to buy me time in the face of danger. Leah was obviously not in a good mood, but she was in good spirits when she talked about the old orc.

"Good... Go out and tell the generals outside, and tell them of Sir Morinda's valor, and I will let his deeds be sung throughout the kingdom. Pedi commanded, and as Leah was about to retreat, he said as if remembering something, "And... Let Don Wright and General De La Heel in. ”

"Your Majesty," Leah hesitated to leave when she heard the king's last command, she looked down at the messy ground and said, "That kind of power just now... It's very weird, I've studied countless energies in the past, legendary potions, witches' abilities, demonic beasts, and evil powers that are ravaging the continent at this moment, but I still can't understand this power that is born directly in the void. ”

"If that's the 'Order of Chaos'... We must reassess the strength of the undead at this moment. Leah looked at the king, who was listening intently, and her tone unconsciously became much heavier, "And... The last words that Ferrola said..."

"Your Excellency, Archmage. Pedi interrupted Leah, "I'm well aware that mages are passionate about unknown powers, but there are some powers that we can't explore, and... Ferrola's last words are only known to the two of us, you... See what I'm saying?"

"Yes, I see. Leah didn't insist on her face as she reluctant, and she answered and left the camp as fast as she could.

Outside the tent, Leah was surrounded by a group of officers as soon as she walked out.

"How is Your Majesty?"

"Are there any injuries?"

"Can we go in?"

The barrage of questions made Leah frown, and she chose to ignore them outright, turning her gaze to look for Drahil and Don Wright in the crowd.

"Shut up!" A low growl interrupted the officers' rambling language, and Lundine Reagan stood across from Leah, "What does Your Majesty have to say to us?"

"Your Majesty let Knight Don Wright and General Draxier in. Leah didn't care about Lundin-Reagan's gaze, and she quietly uttered the king's order, "Also, Your Majesty said it himself... Sir Morinda should be passed down throughout the army, he is a hero of the Crewes!"

Lundin-Reagan's face changed, although the time he had just entered the camp was short, it was enough for him to observe everything inside the camp... At that time, the king was standing next to the handsome case, and he couldn't see his physical condition clearly, but the old orc Morinda in front of him was obviously out of any life.

Although Lundin Reagan had hoped that the old orc next to His Majesty had died tragically on the streets, now he knew what the death of the old orc in this assassination meant to the high king.

"I am ready to listen carefully to the heroic deeds of Sir Morinda. "Lunding Reagan suppressed all his inner thoughts and allowed himself to be in a state of peace.

While the two were talking, Willie Jon, the captain of the King's Guard, had confirmed the order and formally summoned Don Wright and Drahir.

Khalikhan, Londin-Reagan, and Amos were all clever men, and when they confirmed that their Majesty had summoned them, they all restrained their subordinates to shut up and make way for them to pass.

When Don Wright and Dr La Heel had entered the tent, the knight of the King, Rory Greda, who had just entered the tent with Willy Jon, also came out of the tent and commanded to the left and right: "Your Majesty has commanded that no one around the camp shall leave at will. ”

This order immediately made the chaotic chatter of the generals and high-ranking officers outside the tent disappear without a trace, and many small groups that had been gathered together began to slowly disperse.

In the tent,

The King's attendants and guards were cleaning the messy floor, and the remains of the old Orcs were resting on the large conference table, draped in the King's favorite fluffy cloak.

When Don Wright and Drahir entered the tent, the king was praying for the old orc of Morinda in the manner of a paladin, with a solemn and focused expression. The two of them did not bother the king, they stood silently not far from the door, looking at the body of the old orc, and their thoughts were different.

"Come here, all of you. After praying, Pedi picked up the charcoal in the brazier with a tong.

"Otwood... What's going on?" Pedi asked, holding back the indescribable anger in her heart, in as calm as she could.

"As soon as Sir Jon handed Otwood over to me, I interrogated Otwood, who... It may be that the mind is controlled by some force. Don Wright pondered his words, "He's unknowingly poisoning your coffee..."

"It wasn't a one-time poison, it was a potion I'd never seen before, and Otwood put it in your diet in three parts, so... The talent of the escort team failed to find out, so that there was such an accident that should not have happened. ”

"Are you comforting me?" Peddy glanced at Don Wright, "Although I can't guarantee that the defenses around my camp will be able to withstand the invasion of all forces, the secretary who wants to control meβ€”" he shook his head, "It's simply impossible!"

Pedi seemed to be venting some kind of emotion at the moment, an emotion that he didn't understand himself.

"I was there when the Don Wright Knight interrogated Otwood. "I'm sure that Otwood is controlled by some kind of power, but it's not temporary, it's already lurking in his body. ”

"You're trying to tell me that Otwood is innocent?" Pedy raised an eyebrow.

"No!" Don Wright shook his head, "Maybe the Secretary General didn't mean it, but this matter was caused by his negligence, because planting this kind of control magic is almost impossible to succeed without my consent... But what kind of magic it is, we can't confirm it yet. ”

Pedi let out a soft "en", "Then let's start investigating the people who had intimate contact with Otwood, and... The camp must have their internal responses, have you prepared in advance?"

"Before I came, I had already ordered the agents of the police department to monitor the camps, and if anyone dared to make any moves at this time, our agents would definitely be the first to find out. Don Wright replied quickly, "At the same time, the external contact above the squadron level of each battalion has also been monitored. ”

"Supervising such a huge military camp, the few people in your hands can't do anything at all. Pedi leaned back in his chair and looked at the tent that was slowly getting neat and tidy, "I need real control, control of nothing that happens. ”

Tang Wright didn't dare to guarantee that his perennial intelligence work had made him understand that even the best plan could have an accident, let alone a major event like the current one.

"The Kingdom Mage Corps will do their best to help you build a protective net covering the entire camp, and the mages of the 'Eternal Wings' will do the same, and all you have to do is use this protective net to make this army do my bidding, not spread rumors. Pedi liked Don Wright's caution, but he didn't need it at the moment, so his tone was unconsciously dissatisfied.

"I can guarantee that in the next seventy-two hours, there will be no news from this camp that shouldn't have gotten out of the camp. Don Wright replied cautiously, but with confidence in his words.

"Enough!" Pedi stood up and walked over to Don Wright, "We've got a limited amount of time, so you can arrange it now... Also, I need to find out when this assassination was done in twenty-four hours!"

"You'll get what you want. This time, Don Wright replied in the affirmative, once the assassination was carried out, it would definitely leave many traces, and it would not be very difficult to find out the cause and effect of these traces.

"Andβ€”" Pedy patted Don Wright lightly on the shoulder, "haven't you always wanted to arrest Sir Edwin Flyn, the head of the Logistics Service? Your actions must be secretive, and I will announce his disappearance after you take him to secret arrest. ”

"Got it, go to work, I'll be here all the time waiting for your news. Pedi patted Don Wright on the shoulder again to show his trust.

Don Wright remained calm in response to the king's encouragement, but it was clear from his cautious steps to leave that he was a little uncomfortable with the king's sudden politeness.

"What are you worried about?" said General De La Heel, after Don Wright had withdrawn from the camp, "Your trusting and suspicious attitude will frustrate your soldiers. He repeated the question, "You... What are you suspecting?"

Pedi laughed, as if he was laughing at himself, and as if he was laughing at the matter, "I remember that Emperor Laubert once said, 'The Emperor trusts and suspects anyone,' and I now understand what he means." ”

"Emperor Laubert died a miserable death, do you want to learn from him?" Drahir looked away from the king's gaze, he took two steps back and smiled, "A ruler can be reasonably suspicious, but he must trust his subjects... Your suspicion will make your ministers think you're moody, slowly... They will learn to be reserved, and you will gradually become blind and deaf. ”
