Chapter 458

The arrival of executive Christina was indeed a little beyond Sean's expectation. However, since it was said that she was responsible for arbitration on the subject of territorial ownership this time, Sean was certainly hard to say. So he had to arrange a room for her in the Lord's house, just next to Beth. Anyway, as long as Beth was there, Sean believed Christina couldn't turn over any storm.

As for Christina's combat effectiveness, Sean had no doubt.

The white robed executive officer from the peace association can definitely be regarded as the kind of existence at the top of the same level. Moreover, after nearly a month's training, Sean has clearly realized the gap between himself and the top gold strongman. At least if he is alone, he will never be Christina's opponent. Even if there is a grunt, he will be barely tied. If xuefanio is included, he can win, but if Christina is determined to escape, They really can't stop it.

Because according to the description of the South Gate urban defense army that night, Christina came in the air.

This technique of stepping on the air is the exclusive skill of arcane warriors. It is a special ability combined with arcane skill and fighting spirit. This ability allows the arcane warriors to move freely in any terrain without any interference. Although there will be height restrictions when taking off, as a profession below the holy land, only the arcane warriors can take off and fight. This advantage is very great.

In any way, Christina's appearance does bring an unprecedented sense of pressure and awe to Sean and others.

After arranging Christina's affairs, Neil, William and Sean all came to the small conference room. After they looked at each other, they finally sighed helplessly.

"I have never heard that in the arbitration involving the peace association, an executive officer will be sent instead of an arbitrator." Neil said suspiciously, "could that man... Be a member of the Hastings family?"

"Unlikely." William was also a little uncertain. "How could the people of the peace association be bought off?"

"No, no, no, I'm not talking about buying." Neil shook his head and looked at how your reaction became so dull. "What I'm talking about is, is this man fake? That is to say, he is not from the peace Association... "

"I think you have a problem with your IQ." William was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it carefully, he despised what kind of white Neil looked like, but this charming appearance felt like casting pearls before swine when facing Neil, "if it was fake, how could she know what she got there two and a half years ago..."

William looked back at Sean.

"Tindes collar, a count collar in the kingdom of potoroa near the forest of stars and meteorites."

"... yes!" William nodded hard. "If she was a fake, she would never know what happened in tinders. From this point of view, she can't be fake Perhaps as she said, she had been chasing Sean for the past two years, so she came here after receiving the news. I think it is very likely that there may be a shortage of staff within the peace Association... "

But before he finished, William himself shut up.

Although the peace association is a very extreme lunatic organization, and has never established any army since it was jointly attacked by all countries on the whole continent, there are many executives who charge on the front lines of wars and have a very high mortality rate, What's more, there is no need for an arbitrator who is only responsible for arbitrating disputes across the continent.

"This executive is really not a fake." Sean thought about it carefully and then said, "the standard clothes and robes of the peace association have special marks. I have observed carefully before. Those marks are true, so her identity can be confirmed However, this is actually no different for us. Anyway, the territorial contract instrument is in our hands. No matter whether the executive or the arbitrator comes, the result will not change. "

"That's true." William and Neil nodded.

"Speaking of it, the man named Stephen has been caught for a month? Did you ask anything? " Thinking of it, Sean suddenly asked.

Hearing Sean's words, Neil also turned his eyes to William. Recently, he himself has been very busy, so he didn't ask about interrogating the prisoners. He had forgotten about it. Now he was reminded by Sean, and he was a little curious.

However, different from the situation imagined by Sean and Neil, William's face changed slightly and looked very unnatural when he heard this.

"What happened?" Sean frowned slightly.

"I have something in his hand."

Sean keenly noticed that William's hands on the table suddenly clenched and stretched under the table. His face became very ugly at this moment. It seemed that he remembered something, so the blood color on his face began to fade gradually and became unusually pale. The whole was like the first recovery of a serious illness.

"It doesn't matter what handle you have. You're my man now." Sean took a deep breath and then said, "those things in the past can no longer threaten you."

Hearing Sean's words, William raised his head and looked at Sean. He was moved in his eyes, but he soon hid it in his heart again.

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became a little silent and awkward.

"What the hell is it?" Neil can't hold it anymore.

"Do you know the coup of the Millennium covenant Empire about ten years ago?"

The coup ten years ago?

Sean was stunned. He really didn't know that.

"Is it the reshuffle of the old and new aristocratic circles triggered by the battle of boqiliya as a fuse?" Neil seemed to know something about this. After a little thought, he said, "if you remember correctly, the current emperor of the Millennium covenant empire is a supporter of the new aristocracy. It was the coup that made him sit firmly on the throne... It is said that after the coup, he killed a total of 11 royal members, including his father. "

"What happened to the battle of pochilia?" Sean was a little confused.

"It was a battle for the Empire to advance to the frontier and wasteland in order to expand its territory." Neil opened his mouth and explained, "the commander of the leading army is Marquis Horton. This is an emerging aristocrat. Only in terms of family strength, it should be regarded as a real marquis. However, although the commander was Marquis Horton, it was the white rose Legion that was actually in charge of the battle. This Legion... "

At this point, Neil suddenly stopped and looked at William in surprise.

Sean doesn't know, so.

However, William had already answered: "in addition to an imperial legion, the formation scale of that army also involved the private soldiers of 11 nobles, half of the new and half of the old nobles. Although the Marquis Horton was a new aristocrat, he became the commander of the army because of his highest title. However, the Marquis Horton was not particularly good at fighting, so the Empire specially arranged the white rose Legion to become the main fighting legion, and I was the deputy head of the Legion at that time. "

"One month before the war, it can be said that the imperial army won a complete victory. However, later, in a canyon, because of the complacency of marquis Horton, the general team took it into a canyon and encountered the enemy's attack back and forth. It can be said that it suffered heavy losses." William took a deep breath and continued to say in a deep voice, "the Legion I belonged to at that time could not even be called a third rate army in the Empire. It was said that it was the main force of the battle. In fact, it was just a cannon fodder army. At this time, I was cut off by the disabled soldiers of the white rose regiment ordered by the Marquis Horton."

"Isn't this an abandoned son?" Sean was furious.

"You are so naive. This is normal in war science. " Neil glanced at Sean and whispered, "if you continue to flee like this, the whole army will be destroyed, so you must abandon some people and let more people survive. In this way, you may turn defeat into victory."

"Yes, I stayed because of this consideration." William nodded, but his voice returned to calm. "Although the process was a little cruel, the result was undoubtedly lucky. Hundreds of people, including me, survived. At that time, I became the captain of more than 100 people because of my highest military position. After a month of detour and abscond, we successfully returned to the imperial border However, what is waiting for us is not glory, but a... Massacre. "

"Why?" Sean was stunned.

In fact, including Neil, also looked incredible.

"Because this so-called border war is actually a conspiracy from beginning to end." William sneered, and his voice was a little lonely. "At that time, there were four candidates who were expected to become the new Imperial Emperor within the Empire, but the current Imperial Emperor had the lowest support rate at that time, because no old nobles were optimistic about him. Unexpectedly, the strength displayed by the prince at that time was not as good as his brother and sister."

Hearing this, Sean basically understood: "so, in order to become the new king of the Millennium covenant Empire, the prince set up a plot against the old nobles with those new nobles who were not paid much attention to, and used it as a fuse to trigger the confrontation between the new and old nobles in the Empire..."

"It's not opposition, it's civil strife!" William corrected Sean's words, "this is a war that swept the northwest of the Empire. A total of ten old nobles who have been inherited for more than 200 years were all killed in this war Under such circumstances, it was impossible for neighboring countries not to know these things, so at that time, in order to deal with the impending Emilia Empire, the northwest front army had no time to go out to suppress, and only mobilized legions from other parts of the Empire. However, no one thought that almost as soon as the mobilization order was issued, the king had a coup, More than 11 members of the royal family were killed in the coup, including the last king of the Millennium covenant Empire, the father of the new king. "

"It was not until this time that the nobles of the whole empire reacted. It was a premeditated coup."

"If it is a coup, then other nobles cannot swear allegiance?" Sean was a little shocked.

"It was true at the beginning, but in the first event after the coup, the emerging nobles in the northwest war circle immediately expressed their loyalty to the new king, and together with the northwest front army became the first batch of combat forces under the new king." Neil said, obviously, Neil also studied the civil strife of the Millennium covenant Empire, "then within one day, all the nobles living in the king's capital took an oath of allegiance to the new king. Although the specific situation is unknown, it is probably inseparable from threats, secret killings, inducements and other means After that, only 11 old nobles in the southern aristocracy circle, including two dukes, insisted on disobedience. However, when the situation in other places is settled, the new king naturally has enough military strength to calm the war in the south. "

"What an Imperial Emperor with great means and courage." Sean was surprised, but he seemed to realize that there was something wrong with the current situation, so Sean abruptly changed the topic, "so what's your business? Haven't you left the Millennium covenant Empire? How can there be a handle? "

"When I returned to the imperial border, the war in the northwest aristocratic circle had already happened, and what was waiting for us was a massacre." William said in a deep voice, "but we didn't know at that time. We didn't know we were trapped until we were surrounded. Although we rose up to resist, there were less than five people who finally escaped from the encirclement Just when we thought everything was going to end, I met a classmate I was studying at Wangdu military college. She was the daughter of an emerging aristocrat and seemed to be the commander of one of the defensive points in the encirclement. "

"Oh!" Sean and Neil suddenly elongated their voices.

"It seems that I probably understand what's going on." Sean nodded.

"I see." Neil nodded, "no wonder it's a handle So the girl is still alive? "

"Yes, still alive." William nodded, "she let us leave at that time. Finally, only four people, including me, escaped successfully But the other three are civilians, so they left the Empire in the first event after they fled, but I can't. I have to go back to my family. "

"And then?"

"Later, it was found that my family had chosen to take refuge in the new king in order to protect themselves." William smiled bitterly, "so from the beginning, I was an abandoned son and a victim But because I came back alive, some things began to become strange. The Imperial Intelligence Department didn't know why it found out that I was still alive, and what's more strange is that it wanted to crown me as an earl, or a field earl But I think I can't stand these things, so I chose to leave the Empire, but I didn't expect that I was monitored by the Imperial Intelligence Department, so I had to go back to my classmate and successfully fled the Empire under her cover. "

"So now your classmate has been caught by the Empire?"

"Yes." William nodded. "Although I don't know what happened later, according to dills, leice was arrested five years ago, but if it was for helping me escape to the Empire, it should have been ten years ago."

"Didn't the man named deers say anything more?" Sean asked.

"After he told me this that day, I didn't see him again. I left the interrogation to rupee." William said somewhat depressed.

"What does he want you to do?"

"Tell him who the awakened person of Phoenix blood is, and tell him the list of everyone who went in and out of the gorge Rift Valley six months ago, and let him leave." William sighed. "How could I tell him about Cecilia? As for the rift valley, you don't have to think about it. He must be looking for that secret research institute. If I told him all this, wouldn't I be betraying Sean and Cecilia? "

"It doesn't hurt to tell him." Sean suddenly smiled.

"What do you mean?" William and Neil were stunned.

"It doesn't matter to tell him about Cecilia and me." Sean said calmly, "anyway, we didn't want to let him live from the beginning, so it doesn't matter to tell him these things As long as he has been imprisoned with us, it is impossible for him to divulge the information. "

"But..." William was stunned.

Hearing Sean's words, Neil thought and immediately understood. He turned to William and said in a deep voice, "are you a little nervous? If we really let him go, but he doesn't release leice, won't we lose a lot We won't let laice go until he lets him go. But if we let him go, the Millennium covenant empire will certainly know that we have a man like Beth, so we can't let him go. "

From the very beginning, the moment deers was caught, Sean, Neil and William had reached a consensus that deers must not be allowed to leave.

Otherwise, the Millennium covenant empire will know the situation here in the void City, so there may be stronger enemies in the plan against Sean in the future, which Sean and others can't bear. Therefore, when dills was caught, his fate was doomed. Secret death would only be his belonging, and no one else would know his whereabouts.

William, on the other hand, only forgot something because he lost his square when he heard about leice.

"But if he gave the order..." William thought carefully, "does this mean that the Millennium covenant empire may follow this clue to my head and find that dills disappeared from us?"

"It's just an intelligence officer or a spy. Will the Millennium covenant Empire come to us for investigation?" Sean curled his mouth.

"No." Neil suddenly understood William's concern, "it's because we won't make a big fuss, so we'll be more troublesome. We can't catch all of them, can we? Moreover, deers's strength, but even Beth was injured. If it was really found that he disappeared here, it would be meaningless to execute him secretly. "

"What about leice?"

In the conference room, there was silence again.

……

At the same time, in tonis fortress, a mysterious man wearing a hooded cloak who couldn't see his true face was pushing the back door of a tavern. Then he went upstairs and knocked on a door.

"Come in." There was a dry cough in the room.

The next moment, the door was pushed open. The mysterious man who entered the room opened his hood and knelt respectfully on one knee: "sir."

"Still no news from dills?" The "adult" in the room is a handsome middle-aged man. Although he doesn't wear armor and only carries a knight's sword, he still exudes an unparalleled majesty. Even if he sits in this humble room, his sitting posture is still impeccable.

This middle-aged man is Dragon Knight Thurman, head of the holy Dragon Knights of the Millennium covenant empire.
