"Emerald Legion, riot control mission!"

After receiving the Duke's order, the Seychelles knight shouted.

"The first team clears the field first and drives out all the contestants who are blocking the way! The second team surrounds the host table. The guy in black armor below is the tough one. Leave him to me! The third team goes directly to the stage and calls the self-proclaimed

The Duke’s relatives are here to handle it, so don’t be too polite! Teams 4 to 8 will isolate the crowd and search for their accomplices, no matter the cost, and be prepared to see blood!”

The Emerald Sergeants under the stands echoed in unison, which made the guards surrounding Thales nervous. Wyatt looked around worriedly, trying to find the gap between the team's lines.

"No, Jenn, wait!"

In desperation, Hilley stopped him: "If you stir up trouble and make the matter bigger, it will confirm Federico's accusation——"

"What qualifications do you have to speak?"

Zhan turned back instantly, with cold eyes, wandering between Thales and Hilley:

"For so many years, the only thing you've been good at is running away from home!"

Hilley was speechless.

But Zhan no longer paid attention to her, just stared at Federico in the distance, and coldly reminded:

"Remember, Seychelles, if the prisoner resists..."

"Yes, sir, no mercy." Seychelles solemnly repeated the Duke's order and strode towards his team.

However, a hand suddenly placed on Seychelles' shoulder, causing his momentum to come to a halt.

"Believe me, old friend," Cassian appeared behind Seychelles with a worried expression, "For the sake of the Emerald City, now is not a good time to show your loyalty."

When the jade sergeants who were ready to go saw this scene, they all looked at each other hesitantly.

Both Heeley and Thales breathed a sigh of relief.

"You are no longer a member of the Emerald Legion, Cassian," Seychelles looked ahead without even looking at his old friend. "Let go, otherwise you will lose even more miserably than last time."

After the words fell, Seychelles' posture remained unchanged, but Thales felt that the sin of the prison river jumped slightly!

The sergeants on standby had a premonition that something was wrong, and they moved closer one by one, forming a potential siege.

"Maybe."

Cassian frowned slightly, but never let go:

"But it's better for me to lose alone than to lose with a city."

At that moment, the two of them never faced each other, but it made Thales' eyes sting as he watched.

"Let me tell you, they must have old grudges!" Behind Thales, D.D clapped his hands and said proudly to his colleagues.

Cassian's words made Seychelles frown, and he looked around the entire venue: he saw that all the spectators in the arena were facing the Duke's Stand, and they were all pointing and talking. The atmosphere was even more lively than when watching the competition.

Seychelles hesitated for a few seconds and looked at Duke Iris again.

"I said it, Seychelles," Zhan said without lowering his head and kept his eyes on Federico, "If there is anyone who blocks it..."

"Jenn!" Hilley snapped.

"Zhan, calm down!"

Thales pushed aside Huaiya, who wanted to pull him behind him again, and joined the conversation:

"Don't forget, you are still the Duke, and you are still the party that has the initiative and advantage at this moment. It is far from the point where everything is broken, and even if the guy over there talks about it, he is just a candidate who entered the election halfway.

Nonsense—"

"Therefore!"

Zhan interrupted him rudely:

"Suppress him with thunderous means without leaving any consequences. This is the simplest and most economical way!"

After he finished speaking, he was direct and rude:

"And with all due respect, this is your fault!"

Taylor was speechless for a moment.

Okay, little Huahua, this is, the anger from before has not gone away?

"I know, I know you have always had problems with me, but please, brother, calm down and regain your sense!"

Xi Lai's expression was tangled for a while, but she finally took a deep breath and made up her mind, and what she said made Zhan couldn't help but frown:

"The guests who choose the general include not only your vassals, but also foreign ministers from the towns outside the city, nobles from the kingdom's outer territories, guests from the thirteen noble families, envoys from the other side of the sea, merchants, travelers and scholars who have the capital to travel far.

, including the Iris family’s neighbors, allies, business partners, and competitors..."

"There are also enemies." Thales couldn't help but add.

"Like you?" Zhan turned back and glared at Thales, forcing the latter to raise his hands and retreat.

The Emerald Sergeants surrounding the stands and the Star Lake Guards around Tails were already hostile to each other and were at war with each other. Seeing the conflicts between their masters erupt again, both sides quietly held down their weapons.

"And they're all waiting to see your show!"

Hilley waved his hand to Thales not to cause any trouble:

"Zhan, they want to see if what you are about to perform is an innocuous and trivial public security matter that can be handled by just following the rules..."

"It was still a political storm that was so serious that the army had to be mobilized to suppress it," Thales added.

"So don't be - don't look at that little brat anymore, I am your sister!" Hilley looked angrily and pulled Zhan's murderous eyes away from Thales, "Where did I say it?

...So don’t let the enemy fool you again! Haven’t you suffered enough losses?”

Faced with the continuous dissuasion from both sides, Zhan En remained silent, his eyes widened angrily and his breathing became rapid.

At this moment, Butler Ashford slowly walked up to the stand and whispered a few words behind the Duke.

Zhan En's eyes moved and he turned his head slightly.

Thales also turned his head, and then he realized that the nobles and vassals in the nearby stands had left their seats. Some of them were hurriedly looking for an exit, some were coming towards the Duke, and some were sending messages to Zhan En.

Servants say hello, some secretly summon guards to protect themselves, some denounce the villain with righteous indignation, some shout slogans to help the king, and some even shout out the name of Prince Thales, but no matter what kind of situation, all are given to the vigilance officer who maintains order.

And the cuckolds put great pressure on them.

And the eyes of the entire arena were focused on Zhan En at this moment.

Duke Iris took a deep breath and swallowed hard.

"see it?"

Hilley nodded to Ashford and said to his brother:

"He wants you to send people to arrest him or even kill him in front of everyone! This is his purpose!"

Zhan En stared at his cousin with eyes wide open and said nothing.

"Yes, remember Ank Bailar and his duel," Thales suppressed the doubts in his heart and helped, "The enemy is forcing you to make a choice. Killing someone impulsively has become a default stigma.

The crooked Duke, or——"

"Are you done?"

Zhan interrupted him coldly:

"You care about us so much, Your Highness, I thought you were the Duke of Nan'an!"

Thales couldn't help but pause.

On the other side, the confrontation between Seychelles and Cassian continued, and the surrounding atmosphere became increasingly tense. The sergeants subconsciously pressed their weapons and prepared for battle. The unknown Star Lake Guards were caught in the middle, uneasy and preparing for the situation.

If something changes, prioritize self-protection.

This strange scene aroused the curiosity and speculation of more viewers.

"Think about it, Zhan, if they used misguidance from the beginning to let you cover up the murder consciously or unconsciously, and then used this as a basis to frame them on you..."

Thales had to bite the bullet and continue:

"Then we must assume that, including covering up the murder, all your subsequent reactions have been pre-calculated by them, including your so-called thunderous methods! And they must have laid more traps waiting for you ahead!"

Zhan En said nothing, but his fists were clenched tightly.

"That's Federico! You grew up together, went to school together, and even shared a teacher!" Hilley nodded and warned, "He knows you too well! Do you remember the broken vase when you were a child?"

Zhan's expression changed slightly. He was still staring at Federico, but the anger in his eyes gradually subsided.

After several seconds, under everyone's attention, the Duke of Nan'an took a deep breath.

"Wait a minute, Seychelles, check the situation first," Zhan ordered softly, "and you, Cassian, let him go."

In the audience, Cassian smiled slightly and let go of Seychelles' hand on his shoulders. The latter frowned tightly, and finally waved reluctantly, signaling the sergeants who had finished forming the team to wait.

Hilley breathed a sigh of relief and nodded to Thales from an angle that her brother could not see.

"and……"

Seeing that there was something going on, Thales quickly changed the topic. He looked at Federico and expressed his doubts:

"From revenge murders to misguidance and frame-up, is all this Federico doing just to show up and accuse you at this moment?"
To be continued...
