"How...... How so?" Farath looked at the Ryan Mansion, which had become a ruin, and said weakly, because of Catherine's layout, Farah's spies did not pass the information to her in time, and the officials and officers who had the right to react to this kind of thing in the imperial capital were invited by Catherine into the palace to discuss matters, so that when Ryan activated the level 8 magic, Victor sensed that something was wrong from the fluctuations in the air, but when Victor took Faras to forcibly teleport over, the whole riot was over.

"Wait until I support a magic enchantment first!" Victor saw at a glance that Ryan used level 8 magic, obviously the situation was very critical at that time, otherwise Ryan would not have been able to kill, in order to avoid leaks, Victor directly supported a magic enchantment. Wrapped up Ryan, Vivien, Faras, and herself.

Ryan did not hesitate to recount the situation at the time, and then Vivien added some details, and after briefly understanding the ins and outs of the whole thing, Faras immediately blurted out: "This must be Catherine's plan, she began to fight back!"

Victor nodded and said, "Yes, the whole riot was actually started after we were invited into the palace by Catherine, and at all, according to their description, many of those soldiers were incitement, if there were no other forces behind it, it would be impossible." And the one who can put his hand into the imperial capital army can only be Catherine, if it is replaced by Senat and other lords, they might as well choose to attack the palace directly. ”

"What now?" Faras asked, "The cause of the incident is the Jonas Legion...... And the Third Legion directly under Jonas is not only the elite unit of our imperial capital, but also the strongest force under my command, and it cannot be lost no matter what. ”

"I have already arranged for someone to check, and there is absolutely no living mouth among the soldiers of the imperial capital who came to make trouble today. Ryan said a little helplessly: "I don't know anything about the disputes within the imperial capital, how do you think I should deal with them?" ”

"For the sake of today's plan, we can only shirk the responsibility, and we must not let others take the opportunity to play and affect the officer candidates of the Jonas Legion, otherwise we will lose this elite army that has spent a lot of energy to build. Victor said: "Ryan, you must make a tough gesture, it is related to Cassano's position and your rule there, it is better to break with Cassano on the surface, and never let others know the real relationship between us." ”

"But......" Ryan was about to speak, and he was still looking forward to marrying Faras after winning the championship, but the current situation had cast a shadow over his wish.

"The personal affairs between you and Faras are easy to handle, as long as you firmly rule Cassano, and Faras can control the situation in the imperial capital, it will be okay to reunite when the time comes. Victor said: "The key is that we can't lose more in today's sudden violent incident, do you plan to let Faras flee directly to Cassano? When Catherine is directly in control of the situation in the imperial capital, the little Cassano will not be able to resist the onslaught of the Royal Knights and hundreds of thousands of troops in the imperial capital." What's more, when it really comes to that point, humanity will lose the strength to resist the resurgence of the undead legion. ”

"Okay, I see!" Ryan nodded solemnly, and Victor saw that he persuaded Ryan, and then turned to Faras and said: "Today's matter, it is impossible for the army not to be implicated, but you are only a grand consul in name, and you have power in government affairs, finance, personnel, etc., and the army will always be in Orlando's hands." So just throw out Orlando and let him go out to investigate this matter in person. With Orlando's neutral attitude, since we have not masterminded this matter, we don't have to worry about being hit by him, on the contrary, if Orlando can find clues about Catherine's intervention, it will be of great help to fight Catherine's forces. ”

"But, brother-in-law, he's already under a lot of pressure!" Faras said with some unbearable feelings: "In the past few years, he has not listened to the military harassment from all sides, and he has to train the army, and now he is involved in this matter, I am worried about him...... My sister hasn't ...... for 3 years."

"I know it's too unfair to Orlando, but to blame, I can only blame him and Luke for teaming up to put Catherine on the throne of the queen, although it is only a nominal honor, but once the emperor has a real actual ruler, Catherine's aura will undergo a remarkable change, in fact, the imperial capital has been manipulated by Catherine in recent years, as I just said, don't forget, a few years ago she was just an ordinary adventurer. ”

"Will that have an impact on General Orlando's position?" said Ryan, with some concern.

"Basically, no!" Victor replied in the affirmative: "The leader of the Royal Knights must, and can only be, a believer in the God of War, because only the believers of the God of War can use the skill of 'Hatred of the Enemy', which is also the basis of the invincible aura of the Royal Knights, and in the past ten years, there has been no second Holy Knight blessed by the God of War at all, since there is no one who can take his place, how can it affect him?"

Victor paused in his tone when he said this, and then continued to say something earth-shattering: " I hope that through this matter, Orlando will no longer continue to remain neutral, if he is biased towards us, we can use our strength to directly knock Catherine to the ground, even if the situation in the imperial capital is turbulent for a few years, it is better than the current stalemate, because the current situation does not last for a day, the unity of the empire for the entire continent will be weakened by a point, and when the other lords have the strength to challenge the authority of the imperial capital, I am afraid that the 'Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms' in the past will be staged again!"

"But ......" Faras is very aware of the affairs of the Royal Knights, although she agrees with Victor's proposition, but she knows that this situation may not necessarily work out, she whispered: "Every holy knight will make an oath when receiving the blessings of the gods, basically the vast majority of them are loyal to the king, the country, etc., if the holy knights break this promise, they will be deprived of the power they have given." If my brother-in-law were forced to choose to support Catherine by this oath, wouldn't we ......?"

"Faraz, you can't have the best of both worlds for a lot of things. Victor's tone was almost cold: "The situation you said is very likely, but if we are unwilling to break the deadlock in order to maintain that apparent harmony, what awaits us will be an even colder winter." ”

"200 years ago, there was no myth of the invincibility of the Royal Knights? The real golden age of this empire was only a dozen years after its founding, and after so many years of change, it has rotted from its entire roots. Both Luke and Orlando have seen this, but they don't have the courage to change. ”

"In fact, with my Victor's strength, I can completely protect your safety, even if some demigod lich body invades this plane, I can still take you out safely, at most exile to another plane, in fact, as long as your heart is open, isn't it the same life there?"

"The reason why I took the initiative to stand up to help you back then was to have the opportunity to change the status quo of this empire, but after 3 years, our efforts have been offset by others, you can order a reduction in the farmer's tax, but those nobles and royalty have changed ways to increase the burden on the farmer, and the final result is that we are busy in vain, suffering these hard-working farmers and fattening these greasy nobles. ”

"I ......" Faras hesitated after hearing Victor's words, she didn't have the courage to make a desperate move, how could she change the current predicament of the empire with great changes as Victor said? Now we will immediately summon Orlando and other relevant personnel here, and you have to grasp your identity as the overlord of Cassano. In any case, let's get over the current difficulties first, and as for the future, let's talk about it later. ”

When Victor lifted the magic barrier, Ryan immediately received a report from his subordinates, Orlando, the supreme military governor of the imperial capital, and others had been waiting outside for a long time, although the entire Ryan's mansion had been turned into a ruin, but Orlando still abided by diplomatic etiquette, quietly waiting for Ryan's reaction.

After Lane glanced at Farath, he sighed slightly, and ordered Orlando to invite them in, if Lane had a choice, he didn't want to put more pressure on Orlando, for a holy knight like Orlando who was full of faith, Lane admired it very much, but unfortunately now he had to embarrass the head of the Royal Knights.

"As the overlord of Cassano, I am here to lodge a strong protest to the Imperial Capital, and I ask you to severely punish the murderers, compensate for the damages, and ensure that no similar incidents occur in the future. If the Imperial Capital can't do it, then I will have to reconsider the relationship between Cassano and the Imperial Capital. ”

At Lane's behest, the ailing Adams squeezed Orlando with skillful diplomatic rhetoric, while the capital's supreme military governor remained serious from beginning to end, barely speaking, only occasionally asking Faras about some details of the whole matter, and spending more time surveying the scene.

Faras deliberately said in an apologetic tone: "I'm sorry, Mr. Fabia of Cassano, for what happened today, I, Faraz Raidia, the Grand Consul of the Imperial Capital, apologize to you. In order not to affect the relationship between Cassano and the imperial capital, I hope that you can change to a safer place to rest first, if you wish, I hope that I have the honor to invite you to my mansion as a guest, I can absolutely guarantee the safety of you and your subordinates, after all, there is no one on this continent who dares to challenge the majesty of the ** division. ”

"Hmph, do you want to put us under house arrest?" Of course, Adams didn't know the real relationship between Ryan and Faraz, in his opinion, the other party's hand was clearly a follow-up measure against himself, so Adams directly refused, which made Ryan regret it very much, he knew this, he didn't entrust Addams to come forward, and then he couldn't live in Faraz's house naturally?
