Hanard, who had recently returned from the battlefield, immediately faced tremendous pressure from his generals and officers. While these senior officers told the people below him that the rumors were false, they kept asking him whether the rumors were true.
Officers are also human beings, and officers are also afraid of death. They may not be afraid of fighting with the enemy on the battlefield with real swords and guns, but they do not want to die in an unknown manner. Soldiers serve for honor and promotion, not for that kind of performance.
Way to say goodbye to life.
The atmosphere in the war conference room was unprecedentedly tense and serious. No one spoke first to discuss the war situation. Everyone had a solemn face, waiting for Hanad and Yahan, who had not yet arrived, to give everyone a reassuring explanation.
Yahan came, and it took a long time to come. The first words he said when he came in and faced many senior generals were: "The rumors are true, but I will not lightly lift the forbidden law. It is a last resort. And His Majesty sent me
I led the forbidden magic team here to slow down the enemy's offensive."
"They are really starting to get scared." Northern King Daqi said: "Last night's offensive was completely different from before. It didn't have the fierceness of going all out."
"But the pressure in the city has also emerged. The people used to be an important force for us to resist foreign enemies, but now they have become a hidden danger of unrest." Leder of the 15th Army Corps said, leaning against the corner with his eyes lowered.
A staff officer said: "I have several pieces of news. The first good news is that we learned from several prisoners of war of different enemy officers that they were asked to fire off flares in preparation for releasing a device called a 'liquid source limiter'.
', command the soldiers under his command to quickly stop any magical behavior. This can ensure that their 'liquid source limiter' only works when magic is used to drive magic."
"This confirms our previous judgment. Is there any bad news?"
"The Knights of the Holy Moon contacted us just now, and their assassination operation failed." said the staff officer.
"Can we confirm based on this that the old man named Rodan is the one who controls the 'ultimate weapon'?"
The staff officer nodded: "It is roughly certain that this is consistent with the information obtained from the prisoner training. In addition, the Knights of the Holy Moon said that mission a failed and mission b is still in progress."
"Is there another mission b?" Yahan showed doubts, and other generals turned their attention to Hanad.
Hanard shook his head: "I don't know either."
The staff officer said: "The people from Shengyue told the content of mission b, with the main purpose of rescuing Helen, as well as other important captured hostages. Mission a is the smoke of mission b. There is also a third message, which is also from Shengyue.
Come on, when their people were carrying out the assassination mission, the mission target Rodan used the abilities of different professions, including wood elementalization and physical imitation elemental regeneration."
"The dual body of the sealed knight and the demon?" The keen person immediately contacted the famous general in the army, the Luminous Saint Thief: "Charles seems to be able to use the dual abilities of body wood elementalization and knight regeneration. Among them, the wood elementalization has reached
Demon level."
Dual professions can reach the level of sixth or seventh level, which is very rare in the world, and it is difficult not to make people think of it.
Leder said cautiously: "Don't make wild guesses. Charles has more than two abilities, and he can also combine domineering and domain. He once said that his abilities came from a mysterious adventure and the help of equipment, although he never said in detail what he had done.
The strange encounter makes people feel suspicious. If there are only two abilities of knight and magician, and if the knight only has the sixth-level regeneration level, then the dual ability is not that strange. It cannot be concluded that no one can take both abilities into consideration. Historically,
There are characters who combine the characteristics of knights and magicians at the same time, although I don’t know how.”
Some people nodded in agreement, but Hanard knew a little more inside information. He knew that in the last battle between the Holy Demon and the Holy Demon, there was a hidden stake of a third party hidden in the army, and Charles was participating in the two wars on the southern border at that time.
Therefore, he immediately said: "I will report this matter to His Majesty immediately, and ask His Majesty to immediately notify the Privy Council to send a bailiff to investigate the dismissal of Charles the Luminous Saint Thief. Mr. Yahan, you are most familiar with the Privy Council, so you must inform it."
The Privy Council has sent its most capable men for this mission, and if necessary should ask His Majesty for instructions to mobilize a force."
Yahan stroked his white beard and nodded.
Other officers asked nervously: "Is it that serious?"
Hanard said: "You who were transferred from the central garrison don't know. Officers who have been stationed on the western frontier for many years know that Charles was able to be promoted quickly in the army, not only because of his personal strength, but also because of his many connections with the Gripen Empire on the western front.
He made considerable military achievements in this battle. In the previous battle between the Holy Demon and the Holy Demon, he also received a promotion. Although he was still a lieutenant general, the number of troops under his command was increased to 40,000. If he was a hidden stake, these 40,000 people would lead
Big trouble!"
At this time, a city councilor ran to the war room in panic and shouted: "Oh no, generals, there is a riot in the city!"
A large number of people who were frightened by the rumors gathered on the streets. Irritated people and lawless elements soon started riots. This usually peaceful Snow City in the Western Capital finally broke out under multiple huge shadows.
Flames burst out, magic smashed walls, some people stood on tall buildings, some smashed theaters, and city defense soldiers violently suppressed them under the command of officers, but what they got was an even greater backlash. People who gave up on the law and city system summoned their own guardians or pets.
, turning the city streets and parks into zoos. They want to leave the city and fly out from the sky.
When the army arrived, the gathering in the Musical Fountain Square was already out of control. The large number of refugees who poured into the city because of the fortified walls and cleared the fields now became an important factor in the riots. They had no home here, let alone stay in this dangerous city.
One or two riots in the city quickly turned into multiple riots, with thoughtful people interspersed among them, secretly guiding these mobs on how to act. A large group of people rushed to the city hall, the armament depot, and many people gathered outside the weapons depot. An
Most of the city in Moxidu was completely transformed in a few hours.
"Oops, too bad, Mayor Blaise, how could it be like this? How do you appease people's hearts!? If the West Capital is lost because of this, you should be sentenced to hanging!" the officer scolded Mayor Blaise,
But blaming cannot solve the problem.
Some generals were worried and panicked: "This is a conspiracy, a conspiracy of the Gripen Kingdom. They have created rumors, and there must be one of their people among the mob!" The generals standing on the hill in the inner city could see with their naked eyes the crowds of people on many streets.
According to the situation, some people on the street were running randomly, while others were led and acted with purpose. Some wealthy people with high-level flying guardians flew high into the sky with their belongings and escaped from a height that the city defense army could not intercept.
Some people touched the magic trap hidden in the sky, and before they could escape, they were turned into a ball of flame by the thunder and fire and fell from the sky.
