Chapter 6-043: Outpost Battle, Battle of the Colonies (2)
Chapter 6-O4 Outpost Battles, Colonial Battles ()
"General Makaré, what evidence do you have that Duke Taihir is a traitor?" Su Xue frowned and asked.
Su Ze is not the kind of existence that Si Ming has almost zero emotional intelligence, he will not be so stupid that he will believe what others say. The Duke of Taihir was a well-known nobleman in the country, and it was impossible to punish him without conclusive evidence.
Su Ze also knew very well that he was not familiar with this country, and he didn't know anything about it. If you are used as a gun, then you will be wronged. Therefore, he would never easily agree to deal with a certain aristocratic official.
You must know that although Su Ze has never been an emperor, he is a countryman after all. In the thousands of years of history of the country, there are countless kinds of unbelievable power schemes. As long as you are a Chinese with a normal IQ, even if you have never eaten pork, you have seen a pig run.
Some people say that in the face of the ancient Ming country, the biggest tragedy is that when you finally come up with a plan that you think is clever, you will be sad that the Chinese people have not wanted to play thousands of years ago.
In the history of the country, interest groups used the period of changing the boss to use the boss as a gunman, kill people with a knife, and wantonly clean up dissidents. The section that Su Ze is most familiar with is the party struggle in the last years of the Ming Dynasty.
At that time, the most well-known group of infighting experts, the Donglin Party, took advantage of the opportunity when Emperor Chongzhen had just ascended the throne to bring down the eunuch party. But these turtle sons don't know anything except political struggles, and when it comes to fighting for power and profit, these turtle sons are all experts, but when it is their turn to govern the country, they are more than a plague.
Although the eunuch party is rotten, it can still do some practical things. But after the Donglin Party came to power, the country became more and more corrupt, because they could only talk about it. Although they boasted of "all the positive dynasties", they still tossed the Ming Dynasty down.
God knows if this will be the case with the current Urban as well. What if Macaré's gang was a "Otherworldly Donglin Party"? If he listened to him, wouldn't he be the same as Chongzhen's two hundred and five?
Although General Makaré is said to be a die-hard loyalist of Empress Ness, and has never been involved in political struggles, that is only an allegation. Moreover, the Donglin Party was not a self-proclaimed "clear stream" back then, and its reputation among the people was also leveraged, because they had the right to speak.
Therefore, Su Ze will definitely not agree to any request involving officials and nobles now.
..........................................................................................
General Makaré replied calmly: "Of course there is evidence, Your Highness ......"
As he spoke, he took out a stack of spatial rings.
"Your Highness, look, this is the evidence...... Correspondence between the Duke of Taihir and the Sarkozy Church...... It's my subordinates who have worked so hard to get ...... In order not to alarm them, I didn't take the originals, these were copies of magic rubbings...... "General Makaré introduced.
"Okay, I'll take a look......" Su Ze picked up one piece and looked at it carefully.
"Mr. Desert, thank you very much for your information, we have received the goods, the elephants, and the rest of the payment will be handed over to you according to the agreement...... The Elephant Forest is bound to be chaotic without elephants, and we hope you will continue to do a few more business...... We want blue lions and white lions, can you provide detailed information?...... In addition, we want to go hunting in the elephant forest, what do you think?...... Snakehead. ”
Su Ze frowned, and picked up the next one.
"Mr. Desert, we need to buy elephants from the Elephant Forest, please provide the price, the more detailed the better...... If we cooperate, the Elephant Forest will be your market, and you can rest assured that our boss has made a formal commitment that we are only here to change the status quo of the Elephant Forest and have no ambitions for the market...... Snakehead. ”
Su Zeyi read several letters in a row, and now the heads are all "Mr. Desert", and the signatures are all "Black Fish".
Although the content looks like a business talk, it is clear that there is a lot of hidden language used in it. To be honest, this kind of trick is already used in the country. If these letters are true, then this Duke of Tai Hill is indeed suspicious.
If you really talk about business, wouldn't it be better to talk straightforwardly?
"General Makaré, these letters may seem suspicious, but they don't prove that he has betrayed Teacher Ness......"
Su Xue thought for a while, and said to Sasha next to him: "Miss Sasha, please inform Duke Taishier and ask him to come to the capital as soon as possible, just say that I have something I want to ask him face-to-face......"
"Yes, Your Highness, I'll deliver the message immediately......" Sasha immediately walked to the next room, ready to start the magical communication.
..........................................................................................
"General Makaré, this matter is very important, I need to confirm it in person, what do you think?" he said to General Makaré again.
General Makaré nodded and said, "Of course, Your Highness, this is the right thing for you to do......"
However, just a few minutes later, Sasha walked out quickly.
Sasha said with an ugly face: "Your Highness, Duke Taishier's Mansion...... The magic teleportation device in the Duke's Mansion of Taihir has failed......"
General Macare's accusation just now did not evade the suspicion of treason against the Duke of Taihir.
"What?
Sasha replied, "Yes, I tried several times just now, but I couldn't get in touch with the other party, and then I have already notified the nearby garrison and asked them to investigate the situation......"
Su Xue frowned, and said, "How long will it take?" As far as I know, the nearest garrisons are all 7oo miles away, and it will take at least five hours to go over and investigate clearly...... Isn't there a faster way?"
"Faster way?" Sasha tilted her head and thought for a moment, and suddenly she had a flash of inspiration and said, "...... Oh, I remember, Your Highness, there is a quicker way, but it was only available to His Majesty before, I wonder if you can ......"
"Oh, what is that?" asked Su Ze curiously.
"It's a special magic device called the Crystal Orb......" Sasha said.
......................................................................................................
City of Shadows, Palace of Vestas, Room of All Souls.
"Oh, this is the [Crystal Orb]?" asked Su Ze, staring at the huge crystal ball in front of him.
"Yes, Your Highness, this is the [Crystal Orb]. His Majesty's successive emperors have used this device to rule the empire, and at the same time, it is also a very advanced communication device. ”
The crystal orb is placed in the Ten Thousand Souls Room inside the Vistas Palace, and the location is very secret, and on the way to the Ten Thousand Souls, there are countless traps and many constructs to guard it. It's not as perverted as the national mana pool, but it's definitely heavily guarded.
In order to protect the Crystal Orb, it was additionally infused with a touch teleportation object spell. Anyone attempting to remove it from the Preservation Room will immediately send the orb to Mount Urban, the inner sanctuary of the Urban Divine Church, and they will use their magic to contact Empress Ness to arrange how to safely return the artifact.
It is a large, transparent sphere, about a meter in diameter, floating on a metal base. On the metal pedestal, there are countless charms carved into it, inlaid with many precious stones, and the ground is also inlaid with many lines of mythril and pure gold, which looks like a huge circuit board.
After the Undead King, Emperor Bazel I began to rule the empire, he began to use this crystal bead to communicate and handle the affairs of the Urban Empire. Later emperors also used this device to convey their will to the whole country.
However, this crystal orb will only respond to the Emperor of the Dead, or the rightful successor of the Emperor. With the help of crystal beads, users can communicate with up to a thousand individuals at the same time. During a conversation, the user has full control over who can speak and communicates with others to make it heard. This link can also be used to show the faces of all speakers in mind.
In order for the bead to be connected to a specific individual, it must be synchronized and coordinated with a secondary activator, and the user and receiver must touch the bead at the same time, and recite the command words to make adjustments. Once this is done, the user can telepathically contact the recipient when the command is recited.
Empress Ness has set up a single word to connect all the core ministers and nobles, so that she can reach all the members at the same time to lead the affairs of the Urban Empire. Because there is no need to touch the crystal beads when using the power of the crystal beads, even if the Empress Ness is tens of thousands of miles away, she can contact the country at any time.
The connection from the Crystal Orb is not mandatory. The receiver will feel the telepathic signals, but he can choose to ignore them. If the receiver chooses to respond to the signal, he will immediately establish a psychic connection with the bead holder and the other recipients.
After listening to the introduction, Su Xue couldn't help but think that this kind of thing was really familiar.
He thought to himself, "Oh, this thing is kind of like a proxy template for our Celestial Church...... It seems that the heroes see each other a little bit the same......"
At this time, Sasha secret: "Your Highness, you can directly contact Duke Taihir through the crystal bead, he is a core nobleman, and Her Majesty the Empress has set up a connection with him. ”
"Okay, I'll try it now......" Su Xue immediately followed Sasha's introduction and put one hand on the crystal bead.
Sure enough, a kind of virtual screen, similar to a proxy template, immediately appeared in front of his eyes.
Soon, he found the Duke of Taihir's point of contact.
Su Ze immediately sent out a thought and said, "Duke Taihir, I am Su Ze, the crown prince of the Urban Empire. Where are you now?"
The other party did not respond.
Su Ze frowned and repeated again.
"Duke Taihir, I am Su Ze, the crown prince of the Urban Empire. Where are you now?
