Faced with Soshyan's rejection, Bertus Willybald was silent for a moment, and then the cast tomahawk in his hand gently knocked on the ground.
"Even if Angustom is destroyed, it will never fall into the hands of heretics and traitors! I have sent instructions to all the furnaces and foundries, and they will execute self-destruction in an hour!"
"Why, the great sage, Angustorm's achievements today are the blood and sweat of thousands of technical priests and the accumulation of knowledge for thousands of years... I will not kill you."
"Um?"
"Your destiny will be left to Mars to rule, before that... Angustom will be managed by a seven-man sage council until the new foundry director is appointed by Mars."
This is also a compromise plan that Soshiyan has considered for a long time. It is too obvious to directly push the representative appointed by Rizha to the stage. Mars may be completely angered. But after all, having an appointment with Rizha first, it has indeed provided great help. So let's change the idea and keep the foundry director vacant, and then arrange a position of MP for Rizha's secret son. This is a deal, but it will not anger Mars too much.
Moreover, after experiencing this incident, Soshiyang has a deeper understanding of the two sides of mechanical education. Therefore, even Riza, who is currently in the honeymoon period of cooperation, it is hard to say that there will be no possibility of turning against each other in the future. The expedition is not over yet. If Angstrom is completely controlled by them, he seems to have no bargaining chips in the subsequent negotiations with Riza. It is better to maintain a weak balance now. As an intermediary, Riza will maintain as much as possible in his state of seeking for himself.
The rest depends on how Riza himself competes with Angustom's local forces. Anyway, the power wedge has already plunged into the other party. If this cannot control Angustom, it will not be blamed on him.
In addition, letting Mars decide that Angustom's new foundry director would also save Mars, reducing the hostility they might form due to this incident, and allowing Bertus to live can also reduce the hostility of Angustom's local forces towards the expeditionary force. After all, if the foundry director died at his hands, this blood stain would be difficult to wash away from his hand armor for a long time.
As for the harsh words he said before the war, he can only say... As a person who is responsible for hundreds of billions of lives, he needs to consider and make more choices, and cannot do things by his sense of honor alone. Although this sounds like the words of some cunning politicians, it is indeed the case.
This is also why Soshiyan asked Seth to keep a watch on the door. He guessed that Riza would probably arrange for an assassin to come in and completely solve the "little tail" of Bertus Willibald.
"You... want to send me to Mars?"
After hearing Soshyan's words, Bertus Willybald seemed a little suspicious.
“I can’t analyze the logic.”
Soshiyang walked forward with a smile, lowered his head slightly and said softly:
"My relationship with Riza...maybe it's not as close as you think by Sage."
Bertus Willybald's visual instrument flashed slightly, and then said in a lower voice:
"Commander General Soshyan, I can actually give you more..."
Soshiyang shook his head.
"The ending has been decided and cannot be changed. May your future trip to Mars be a pleasant one."
After a moment of silence, Bertus Willybald suddenly raised the mechanical battle axe in his hand. It showed the contained force field with a shining halo. It was embedded with a gem the size of a human eyeball. It was both a powerful power weapon and a scepter symbolizing rule. This scepter alone could declare Bertus Willybald's right to cast the world on Angustorm.
The Terminators immediately became nervous when the other party's action and activated the weapons in their hands, but Soshiyang was not worried at all and just looked at the other party with a smile.
"The commander of Soshyan Alexei, in accordance with the binary inheritance rights and the seal of the Mars Casting General Seal, confirmed that I am the legal foundry director of Angstrom. Only he can legally revoke my power, and only he can take away this scepter."
Soshiyang raised his head slightly and noticed that the lights on the temple dome had gone out at some point, and some blurry bodies clinging to the darkness.
As he expected, although Seth had blocked the door, Riza's mechanical assassin still sneaked in.
If it weren't for their presence, they might have killed themselves.
He lowered his head, looked at Angustom, the desperate sage, and whispered:
"The Great Sage of Bertus, power has never been given by a stick, but power has given the unique meaning of this stick. Once the halo of power dissipates, it is just a metal stick... Now the decision to define this power is in my hands, so if you are reluctant to leave this stick, you can take it away."
Bertus Willybald was stunned, and then his logic analyzer clearly interpreted the meaning and connotation of each passage of Soshiyan, each word.
Then, he put down his arm and his back hunched slightly, looking very frustrated.
"I understand...please allow me to take my personal servants and some personal property."
"You make a list and I will send it to you right away."
It took only a few seconds for Angstrom's Great Sage to list the list and print it into a parchment roll through a micro-printing device on his own. Soshiyan took it and handed it over to Maximilien, asking him to collect both people and things according to the list.
After all this, Soshiyan pointed to the door.
"I'll send you out."
Perhaps because of the surprises I accepted today, Bertus Willybald was even a little used to this abnormal behavior and nodded slightly.
"Honored."
When walking in the corridor where a large number of cleaning servants had already appeared and began to clean up the wreckage after the war, Soshiyan suddenly said to Bertus beside him in a very low voice:
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Great Sage, can you hand over the evidence and records to me?"
"What?"
"We intercepted a fleet of Hoyland's family not long ago."
After a moment of flashing Bertus's visual device, he finally realized what the "evidence" Soshiyan pointed to.
However, he was a little hesitant, because once those things were exposed, not only would he be unable to forgive the death penalty, but many people in Angustorm would have to die...
As if guessing the other party’s concerns, Soshiyang chuckled and said:
"Don't worry, the great sage, I just used it to deal with other people and will not be harmful to you and Angustom. And I believe that such a confidential data record will definitely be kept on you alone, let alone leak it."
After much thought, he chose to surrender.
"I believe that you, Supreme Commander of Soshiyan, actually we have no choice. Heresy has controlled many key rare minerals... but we have never directly sold military funds to them."
As he said that, he took out a small memory storage piece.
“The transaction records for more than a hundred years are all included.”
"Thank you."
After Soshiyan put away the memory storage film, Bertus suddenly changed his mind.
"Also, about the barrier to blessing... is the Star Fort that is about to be completed, what do you plan to deal with?"
"Don't worry, it will always belong to Angustom, and no one can take it away. Of course, if the war is tense, the Expeditionary Force may borrow it for a while, but I promise that it will never be transferred to other people or organizations. After the war is over, I guarantee with my personality and soul that it will definitely stay in Angustom."
Bertus nodded, and he devoted all his time in Angustom's administration to Star Castle, which was the only legacy he could leave for the forging of the world.
Chapter completed!
