Chapter 234: Rift (2)
Orlando spoke. There was a sudden chaos below, "Catherine is no longer the queen, what the hell is going on?" and a question like this came to almost everyone's mind. Christina clenched her fists and glared at Orlando, her body trembling for more than ten seconds before she asked everyone present in a roaring voice: "Why?"
"Murder!" Orlando spat out the word in a normal tone, and then began to add, "Catherine intended to murder Faraz, the Grand Archon of the Imperial Capital, and Fabia, the overlord of Cassano, on the first night of the new year, but fortunately, Fabia's subordinate Vivien blocked the fatal blow for Fabia. Catherine then escaped despite the siege of Victor, Fabia, and Allendo. ”
"General Orlando, what are you talking about? Queen Catherine can leave safely under the attack of the three Victors?" Christina laughed and said, "How is this possible, Your Majesty......"
"Nothing is impossible. Victor's voice came from behind Orlando, and the only ** master of the empire slowly walked out of the room, followed by Ryan and Faraz, who were hand in hand, but now Ryan still wore that magic mask and retained his identity as Fabia.
"Is Victor the ** teacher?" Christina's respect for this ** teacher is far less than Orlando's, she asked in a mocking tone without any worries: "The dignified ** teacher actually let a lady leave safely in front of him, this is really incredible, can it be said that your title of ** master is ......?"
"Hehe!" Victor smiled lightly, he looked at Christina's face distorted by anger, and said lightly: "The strength of my ** division will not be weakened because of your doubts, as for Catherine, who said that she left safely? If it wasn't for the fact that she summoned a frost bone dragon before she escaped, she might not have been able to leave." ”
"Frost Bone Dragon?"
"Yes, Christina, it's the kind that appeared at the wedding of Fernando XIII and Catherine, Ice, Frost, Bone, Dragon!" Victor said the last four words with a strong tone: "Also, do you really think Catherine is just a delicate woman? What a joke, the strength she showed in the original athletic tournament was only a small part of her, and this Catherine's real strength is comparable to mine, because she is also a legendary magician." ”
"Legendary mage?
"Queen Catherine is so powerful, how did I always feel like she was a little woman who needed to be protected?"
"Oops, how are these things getting more and more complicated......"
Orlando calmly looked at the Holy Knights around him and talked about what Victor just said, his heart was full of bitterness, the Holy Knights should be the most powerful force in the Empire, and their invincible honor comes from strict discipline, but look at these people in front of him, they actually look like this, is this still the invincible golden lion? And all this in front of him is the result of Orlando's beginning to expand the army.
To be sure, Orlando's idea of expanding the army was not wrong, but the mistake was that Catherine and Faras had their hands in each other. This is not Orlando's deliberate indulgence, but when Catherine and Faras took advantage of Orlando's leadership to confront the Clay clan, orcs and Seke City troops who were harassing outside, they quietly launched a series of measures in the imperial capital, and by the time Orlando found out, the whole situation was already a little out of control, and Orlando didn't have much time to correct it at all, because the external harassment never stopped, and he had to ensure that the situation in the imperial capital in the rear could not be chaotic, otherwise there would be greater trouble.
Farass only intervened in the army to protect herself, hoping to master a power to protect herself, so the energy and money she spent were quite huge. And Catherine is deliberately messing with all this, under her interference, the Fernando royal family and the nobles of the imperial capital have intervened, and as a result, after the expansion of the army, the combat effectiveness has declined, and now the most elite troops in the imperial army, except for the 3,000 holy knights of the first brigade of the Royal Knights directly under Orlando, turned out to be the third legion controlled by Faraz and integrated with the original Jonas legion.
"Fortunately, these are all new knights, and the old men under my command still maintain the original combat power, and can still maintain the deterrence of other forces. Orlando was secretly glad in his heart, and at the same time he had made up his mind to reorganize the army as quickly as possible, to solve all the problems left by Catherine, and to regain the independence of the army and their combat effectiveness.
Orlando's thoughts were only fleeting in his mind, and he only had such a thought in his heart, without a detailed plan, and when he saw that the scene was still chaotic, Orlando frowned, and said softly: "Is this the discipline of the Holy Knights?
Orlando's words made the chaotic scene quickly calm down, and I have to say that Orlando's management of the Royal Knights for more than ten years is still quite authoritative in terms of his reputation as the "God of War". After regaining control of the scene, Orlando spoke: "Victor ** Division has proven his strength to everyone during the defense of the imperial capital, I don't think you will forget so quickly, Ms. Christina, and Catherine can compete with Victor, her strength can be imagined." ”
And Catherine wasn't just involved in this murder, Catherine was also involved in the murder of Luke three years ago. Ryan was with Luke at the time and could serve as a witness. Also, since she summoned a frost bone dragon, is the one that appeared at His Majesty Fernando's wedding also related to Catherine? Moreover, Catherine has such a powerful power, so on the night of the wedding, the assassination of His Majesty Fernando may not be inseparable from her, because she has enough strength to avoid the defensive magic array inside the palace to do something, at least in this matter, she is currently the most suspicious. ”
"You are talking nonsense, I have always been by Her Majesty's side for the few things you said, and I can prove that she has not gone anywhere!" Christina will never allow others to slander Catherine's reputation, and she almost shouted these words out in a hoarse voice: "All this you said is speculation, there is no evidence at all, do you have to do it if you have the strength?
"Christina!" Ryan took a few steps forward and looked at the former opponent with pity, and Christina was also slightly stunned, because the Fabia in front of her gave her a similar feeling, which made her very strange, because Christina believed that she had never seen this Cassano overlord before.
Ryan looked at Christina, who was slightly **, and sighed secretly in his heart, he knew that no matter what the result was, the female knight in front of him was ruined, because Catherine's three murders were all up to her to prove her alibi, and it was obviously difficult for others to believe that Christina was not Catherine's accomplice.
"Christina," Ryan said slowly, "don't you think it's strange that Catherine has asked you to be her alibi witness three times in a row. ”
"What's so strange about that? I'm Queen Catherine's personal bodyguard. Christina said casually.
Ryan's voice was not too loud, but it clearly reached the hearts of everyone present: "Generally speaking, it is a coincidence that you have witnessed three events in a row, and Catherine is not just a guard by your side." If I ask you now, Christina, what was you eating tonight two years ago? Can you still remember?"
"How can I ...... such a trivial matter"
"Isn't it strange that even if you were with Catherine every day, you could not remember everything that happened around Catherine clearly, and you could tell the details of that moment when you didn't know what was happening at the same moment, and your actions proved that Catherine was not there at the time?"
"I don't understand what the hell you're trying to say. Christina's heart was a little flustered, because some of the things that happened between her and Catherine couldn't be said at all, because from the night of Fernando's assassination, Catherine caressed her body, Christina slowly maintained an ambiguous relationship with Catherine, on the surface, Christina often protected Catherine, but secretly they did not have that kind of intimate contact.
Under Catherine's natural charm, Christina's heart has changed from hesitation at the beginning to longing, and she has even begun to enjoy her time with Catherine. With Catherine's natural charm and means, when she is entangled with Christina, she can quickly make Christina's heart reach **** Usually when a person reaches this kind of happiness, his vigilance will be reduced to a minimum, and Catherine will take this opportunity to hypnotize Christina with some kind of mental magic, so that Christina has been in this kind of happiness that has sprung up like a tide, thinking that she has been entangled with Catherine, and the two have never been separated at all, and in fact there is no one else around Ristina at all, everything she feels is completely the influence of Catherine's natural charm magic brought to her, and at this time Catherine can take a break to do her own things, such as contacting the teacher demigod lich, such as killing a certain Fernando royal family...... And the only thing Catherine has to think about is to return to Christina's side before the magic wears off.
If the Imperial Capital Magic Guild conducted a magic check on Christina with all its might, it would be able to find some clues more or less, but Christina was a trainee Holy Knight after all, and she was a personal entourage of Queen Catherine, so it was impossible to use that kind of means that had a lot of damage to the brain to investigate, and no one suspected Catherine at that time, how could she have thought that Christina, who swore by her reputation as a Holy Knight, was actually lying.
