After spending most of the day reading various construction information in the capital in the past two or three years.
Standing next to the huge map, Ciel touched his chin.
The brain automatically started to think from others' perspective.
Years of experience also surfaced automatically.
After thinking for a while, he picked up a pen and whispered to Jim Watts: "First of all, it is a more conventional place. The terrain is hidden and the flow of people is relatively small, but it cannot be too far away from human settlements."
After saying that, he sketched it on the map, drawing circles and marking each area with numbers. Most of those places were ancient sites in the royal capital. They were areas that were abandoned due to the passage of time, and were basically used as slums or
Places such as warehouses.
After spending seven or eight circles and listing the order one by one with numbers, Charles explained: "The next is a better hiding place. This kind of place is either extremely remote and cannot be noticed by people, or it is close to
They follow the flow of people and use the huge flow of people to cover up their own abnormal conditions. The former is okay, no matter how much it is concealed, the devil's ritual will definitely leave traces in those wilderness areas, while the latter must have local dignitaries.
Use it as a protective umbrella, otherwise it will definitely be discovered. In addition, it is a mixed bag of people, so it will be more difficult to find it."
So I started to draw on the map again, starting from the center of the city and drawing outwards. I drew about ten places before stopping, and also marked them one by one.
"These locations are not easy to investigate. The various forces are complicated and most of them are old fools. If possible, it is best to let people from the church investigate. After all, they have taken advantage of you.
Because they are outsiders, they are more ruthless in their attacks and are not afraid of offending others, so it is quite suitable. Moreover, their feelings towards cultists are indeed very keen, far superior to those of regular soldiers, and they can
There is a greater chance of finding problems.”
After thinking about it for a while, Jim Watts also felt that this was the truth, so he nodded in response:
"good.
If they want to enter the Royal Capital, they really need an opportunity to flex their muscles and prove their strength to the various forces in the Royal Capital. I don’t think they will refuse this request."
Seeing that the other party accepted his opinion, Charles nodded and said seriously: "Next are the most important locations. If you want to search them by then, I think you'd better do it together with the people from the church.
It's better, otherwise it might cause a big mess."
Although he was a little confused, looking at Ciel's serious look, Jim Watts still responded: "...I understand."
"Next are the best and worst places. Generally, if there is any cult in these places, then even if they are not a crooked spirit society, they are definitely planning big things with evil intentions, and they will be a serious problem for the Principality of Marton in the future.
, so once you discover it, I suggest you destroy it on the spot, at all costs."
After hearing this, Jem immediately understood that the next few locations might be tricky.
I saw that the first thing Charles ticked was the palace, followed closely by the Colosseum, the Central Library, the Earl of Art's Mansion...
It would be extremely difficult to deal with any one of them, either because they have a high position or because they have complicated backers.
Jim Watts instantly felt a slight pain in his head.
If you want to check all these places plus the previously circled places, you will basically offend a quarter of the dignitaries in the royal capital, including some members of the royal family. This will undoubtedly not be conducive to his coronation ceremony soon.
Looking at the hesitant look on the other party's face, Charles said helplessly: "You can't worry too much at this time. If you fail, there will be nothing, so there is nothing you can do about bleeding, no matter whose blood it is...
...If there really is a problem in the most critical places, I just hope you won't show mercy. No matter who the other party is, just being ruthless is the easiest way."
The implication is to let Jem Watts kill him as soon as he finds something wrong, without leaving any chance to the opponent.
If the summoning ceremony was secretly arranged in a place like the palace, then the people from the Crooked Soul Society must have joined hands with one of Jem Watts' brothers and sisters, otherwise it would be impossible to hide it from Jem Watts.
Hereby.
On the other hand, if the headquarters of the Crooked Spirit Society in the royal capital is a place like the Beast Garden or the Central Library, then their collaborators must be the top dignitaries of the royal capital who have that ability, and their status may be higher than that of ordinary princes.
The princess will come a little higher, and then Jim Watts will most likely be tied up.
This is not to say that Jem Watts will be merciful.
As a prince, and a prince who is about to wear the crown, Ciel knows very well that James Watts can stand out from many brothers and sisters, and he is by no means a soft-hearted person!
Although he is not a generational hero, he is definitely a ruthless type, otherwise his butt position would never be as stable as it is now.
It's just that sometimes, these superiors have more things to consider, and it is very likely that things will get out of control due to some other concerns.
It’s not like Charles has never seen similar situations in other countries.
Jim Watts also understood what Charles meant. After a moment of silence, his eyes showed a trace of ruthlessness and he made a decision: "...In this case, let's set the last few goals at the end.
Search it!
Clean up the rest of the area first.
If we really have no choice, we will not hesitate to let the royal capital be filled with blood."
As Charles said, if you don't do it right, you will leave residue and be in chaos.
Since this is the case, then just be ruthless and kill them all. Anyway, there are too many rotten things in the royal capital. It is just a good opportunity to take advantage of this opportunity to do a big cleanup and remove those things that made him in the past.
Get rid of all the hesitant things!
"Tomorrow, tomorrow I will let the troops loyal to me in the army enter the city, and then I will use the simplest way to crush everything."
After hearing Jem Watts' affirmative reply, Charles smiled.
"Very good. Now he looks like a crown prince. He is not ruthless and can't sit firmly in his seat."
Picking up the wine glass, Charles toasted to the other party and said, "I hope everything goes well tomorrow."
"I hope..."
Jim Watts said helplessly.
But he had already begun to think about how to stabilize the situation in the royal capital after taking action.
----------
The next day, early in the morning.
The sky was far from lighted up and was still very dark.
"Don't come any closer. Which army are you from? Tell your commander to come out and see me!"
Looking at the foreign troops outside the city gate, Crot, the officer in charge of the city gate, clenched the weapon in his hand and kept muttering in his heart.
‘What the hell is this? So many troops were sent into the city overnight. Could it be that they want to mutiny!?’
Just when he was thinking about whether to sound the alarm immediately, the army below automatically made a way, and a man holding a torch and riding a horse came to the front.
After shining a torch on his face, James Watts said in a deep voice: "Clot, it's me!"
"Your Highness Jem?"
Looking at the face revealed in the firelight, Croat immediately recognized the other party's identity and felt slightly relieved. Since the consul was the crown prince, the worst option could be eliminated.
After all, no one will rebel against themselves!
Jim Watts calmly ordered: "That's right, open the city gate quickly!"
"Yes, please wait a moment, Your Highness!"
Without any hesitation, Croat immediately took his life.
Because he himself was supported by Jem Watts.
Since a few years ago, when Jim Watts was still competing with his brothers and sisters for the crown prince position, he had placed his own people in various key positions, and Crotter was one of them.
Looking at the city gate that was slowly opened in front of him, Jemworth nodded with satisfaction.
Although it is just a casual move, it is somewhat useful. Otherwise, he has not yet succeeded to the throne, and he would have to worry about other factors.
After making a gesture, he led his troops in like a tide.
----------
Quiet, extremely quiet.
There is no talk of feasting and entertainment.
In this era with few entertainment facilities, it was okay in the first half of the night, with some people moving around.
But once it's the second half of the night, there aren't even ghosts on the road, and even the restaurants don't operate 24 hours a day.
Even if this is the capital of a principality.
At this time, there was no sound in the area around the city gate except for the footsteps of the army and the trampling of war horses.
"Clot."
Looking at the dark city in front of him, Jemworth breathed out softly:
Croat's body trembled and he responded hurriedly: "My subordinate is here!"
After giving him an understatement, James Watts said seriously: "Now the country has reached a moment of crisis. I have received a secret report that there are cultists hiding in the royal capital with the intention of doing things that will harm the entire principality. So from now on
First of all, I want you to guard the city gate and not allow anyone to enter or exit without permission. If anyone tries to disobey the order, you will kill him immediately!"
As soon as he heard this order, Croat was immediately in trouble. With his limited manpower, it was a bit too difficult to control the entry and exit of the whole city. Once a riot broke out, he might not be able to stop it, but he had to do it even if the order came down.
Okay, so he bit the bullet and said: "Follow your orders and I promise to complete the mission!!"
Seeing that he had a troubled expression but accepted the order, Jim Watts felt a little funny and said casually: "Very good, I will plan hundreds of soldiers for you. Make sure you stabilize the situation and don't cause any trouble."
Big mess! Do you understand?"
Crotter was immediately overjoyed: "Yes!!"
He never dreamed that one day he would be able to take control of the military.
Although this military power has a time limit, it cannot be used at will.
But at least it’s okay to have fun!
He immediately followed a knight and ran to lead his soldiers, looking extremely impatient.
After all, every man expects something similar to happen.
