Duanmuhuai also heard what happened to the emperor.

As the elf scout said, when the emperor led his troops to pursue him, he was cut off from his retreat. But that was not the problem. The problem was... After the emperor's retreat was cut off, some of the soldiers he led actually rebelled! And they also

Together with the northern barbarians, they launched an attack on him, vowing to kill the emperor!

Only then did the emperor realize that the people around him had turned against him?!

There were a large number of rebels and barbarians in the North, but the emperor and his bodyguards were not freeloaders. The two sides fought to the end, and the emperor finally survived - of course, not a single one of his bodyguards was left.

.

However, at this moment, the emperor has realized that there are many crises around him!

He didn't expect that the group of evil god believers had penetrated to this extent! Obviously, maybe the northern expedition itself was a trap! After all, the emperor originally heard that the northern barbarians were about to move south and invade the empire's territory.

, that’s why he led his army to conquer in person. If this is a conspiracy in itself, then...the problem is huge!

It is precisely because of this that the emperor chose to use a move to escape from the cicada's shell, put the gauntlet on the other severed hand, and ran away immediately. He is still not sure who in the army is his confidant and who is the believer of the evil god.

.In this case, if you rashly return to the military camp, you might be killed quietly. After all, the emperor also knows that if the other party finds out that he is not dead, then they will definitely think that his plan is

If it is exposed, they will be able to do anything by then. Maybe if it happens again, they will really "die suddenly" during the expedition.

So while the emperor concealed his whereabouts, he also observed the movements of other princes.

What he didn't expect was that after the news of his "death" reached Altdorf, none of the other princes came to see what was going on. They all ran away to the throne!

Fortunately, the emperor also worked as a mercenary when he was young, and his physical fitness was much better. Otherwise, he might have been pissed to death by the saucy manipulations of these unfilial sons.

However, the emperor himself also had his own channels and methods. After many investigations, he found that all of this was related to an evil sect called "Ukrainian Hand", and this sect happened to believe in the god of deception——

Well, this is indeed in line with the style of those idiots who have to prepare alibi and various criminal methods even if they kill someone, otherwise they will feel uncomfortable.

Needless to say, the situation is now very clear. The Wuzi Hands planned this civil strife, and are likely to use other forces to try to dismember the empire. After all, it seems that whether it is Manfred trying to resurrect the Naga

What’s more, the followers of the God of Disease and the Rat Men are attacking the empire’s territory, both of which are obviously trying to carve up the empire’s flesh.

And now the three princes gathered in Altdorf, obviously intending to kill them all at once. After all, as long as all three princes die, they will be leaderless and the collapse of the entire empire is just around the corner. If they can be sacrificed to Chaos on the way,

As for the Evil God, the benefits would be immeasurable.

That's why the emperor decided to change his name to Kevin and completely solve these troubles. That's why he hired the war group to try to destroy Manfred's conspiracy to resurrect Nagash - after all, no matter what, let a powerful and evil undead

It is definitely not a good thing for a mage to be resurrected on the land of the empire.

Now that the crisis is over, what remains is how to punish the three unscrupulous descendants.

The problem is that………

"Do you have anyone?"

Looking at Kevin sitting on the chair, Duanmu Huai asked this heart-wrenching question.

The ones currently standing on the side of the emperor are Duanmuhuai's war group, and then the bald archbishop of Sigma. With the archbishop's appeal within the empire, it would not be difficult to find some manpower. However, it is not difficult to find those.

The elite of the Temple of Sigmar have been sent away by the archbishop. Now the archbishop still has some prestige in the Temple of Sigmar... It's really hard to say.

If someone could tell him that he had been transformed into a vampire and burn him to death, that would be the end of the world.

"………………"

Faced with Duanmu Huai's question, the emperor himself was speechless. This question was indeed fatal. In fact, he was no longer sure who was loyal to him and who was the real traitor.

Of course, as the emperor of the empire, he naturally has his supporters within the empire, such as the bald old bishop, but from his experience, we can see that these loyal supporters of the emperor have probably been caught up in some conspiracies.

, even dead.

Under these circumstances, the emperor's return to Altdorf was simply asking for death.

But if he doesn't return to Altdorf? Then...should he just sit back and watch the empire fall apart?

"The Praetorian Guards strictly obey the emperor's orders, I think they should be fine."

"That's good."

Hearing the emperor's answer, Duanmu Huai nodded.

"Fortunately, I also have a recommendation."

"oh?"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, the emperor looked at him curiously.

"Do you have anyone to recommend?"

"That's right, the commander of the Thirteenth Guard Corps, General Pastor."

“Pastor…………?”

The emperor was somewhat surprised when he heard this name. He even thought about it for a while before finally recalling this person.

"He? But he is not a very outstanding talent..."

"Although he is not very good, he is still very loyal."

Duanmuhuai told the emperor about Mordheim and what happened after that. Of course, he hid the part about Pastor trying to usurp the throne and become the emperor. No matter which dynasty or generation he was from, the emperor was not happy to hear it.

His own ministers had the intention of treason. Apart from that, I have to say that General Pastor, as an imperial soldier, had done his best.

"I really didn't expect..."

After listening to Duanmu Huai's story, the emperor was also quite emotional. Indeed, as a general, Pastor's abilities were not outstanding on weekdays. In addition, he relied on his family to reach this position, so the emperor did not think much of him.

It can be seen from the fact that he leads a security corps - the most important job of this corps on weekdays is to maintain law and order in the city, similar to the security army. If the eldest prince was not really short of troops, he would not let General Pastor

Leading his legions to retake Mordheim.

Although General Pastor's abilities are indeed limited, he at least has basic conscience and common sense. At least from the fact that he did not let the eldest prince take away the dimension stone, it can be seen that he is still a patriotic minister.

that's enough.

Of course, maybe Pastor has limited abilities and is usually a little transparent, so others don't pay much attention to this kind of person, which gives him a chance to survive.

After all, anything good in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Wouldn't someone like the bald old bishop with strong appeal in the Sigma Church be killed in one wave?

People like Pastor, whose grandfather did not love his grandmother, survived.

It has to be said that after listening to Duanmu Huai's story, the emperor's eyes also lit up.

Although Pastor is indeed not very capable and does not have a high reputation, one thing is very important - that is, he is in charge of the security corps!

Although the security army cannot go to the battlefield on weekdays, they basically deal with trivial matters in the streets and alleys. They are basically grassroots policemen. However, the emperor's headache now is that he lacks the means and soldiers to control the city of Altdorf.

Although he trusted the loyalty of the Imperial Guards, they needed to protect the palace and could not go to the streets to maintain law and order.

If there is such a person on his side to help him maintain law and order in Altdorf, then... the emperor can deal with his three unfilial sons without any worries!

God's fucking royal power has no eternity. If I don't commit the three of you, the bastard who killed his father to seize the throne is hanged on the gate of Altdorf, this matter will not be over!

The three of them discussed it and finally made a plan.

As the emperor's special envoy, Duanmu Huai was responsible for contacting General Pastor, and the emperor would take the archbishop back to the palace, contact the imperial guards, and then kill all the traitors on the night of the banquet!

There is nothing wrong with the plan itself, it’s just that……

"Your Highness, what are your plans?"

Looking at the high elf princess, the emperor was also in trouble. This was the internal affairs of the empire, and he couldn't let the elf princess get involved.

However, when Alisala heard the emperor's inquiry, she just glanced at Duanmu Huai silently.

"It's fine if I'm with him."
