After finishing speaking, Hui Wu fell silent and looked at the mysterious leader.
"Did you hear that?"
The leader nodded, and his ice-like gaze swept over everyone present. Even though he was not really here, everyone still felt slightly shuddered.
"The overall changes in the Web of Destiny cannot be hidden from anyone, and the high-level prophets of the other two empires will not ignore this either.
This means that the top leaders of the Gloria Empire will soon discover that there are still problems with the ruins."
"And what we have to do now is to find out in advance what is hidden in that half of the ruins before they react."
"But chief, the defense of the ruins is becoming more and more severe, making it difficult for us to explore in secret."
The second man in black robes on the right spoke up and revealed the biggest problem facing everyone at the moment.
Perhaps it was due to the upcoming competition at the Pamir Academy, or some other reason. Although the exploration was over, the ninth-level people from the empire did not leave immediately, but temporarily stationed nearby.
At the same time, as the tide of dark beasts subsided, the Gloria royal family issued an order: to expel foreign enemies with all their strength, and when necessary, allowed to use the heritage left over from the ancient magic empire.
Since the meteorite crashed in the Magna Province within Gloria, it is completely in line with the rules of the game for the empire to use its own internal power.
If the other major forces also used their base to confront the enemy head-on, it would be equivalent to a complete declaration of war on the empire.
With the size of the three major superpowers in the mainland, if a war breaks out between the two empires, it will definitely be a continent-level war.
Such a tragic result is something that no force on the continent currently wants to see.
At least, no one is willing to start a war rashly before the real preparations are completed.
Therefore, under such a situation, the empire cleared out many outside ninth-level professionals in a short period of time.
Perhaps some ninth-order people used magic to change their appearance and quietly lurked in the empire.
But until the next disaster occurs in the ruins of the meteorite, I am afraid that no ninth-level leader will be willing to take the lead and cause trouble for the empire at such a sensitive moment.
At this time, when someone started talking, others couldn't help but start expressing the various difficulties they had encountered.
Listening to everyone's negative remarks, the leader wearing a dark golden mask could not tell whether he was happy or angry, but his eyes became a little impatient.
"Hehe... I'm sorry, but everyone, I think the problems we are facing now can actually be summed up in one sentence.
That is - the empire is not chaotic enough!"
At this time, Ling, the last person on the left side of the long table, who had been listening silently until then, suddenly opened his mouth and interrupted everyone's words, and kept saying nothing.
As soon as Zero's words came out, the room suddenly became silent, and everyone couldn't help but look at him sideways.
The problem pointed out by Zero is very clear to most people here, but no one takes the initiative to mention it.
Bringing it up means that you have to take responsibility for your words, but Zero doesn't care, or in other words, this is his purpose.
The leader also looked at Zero in surprise. This time it was not his deliberate arrangement, it was entirely Zero's own action.
"Why are you looking at me like this? Is there something wrong in what I said?"
"The empire's counterattack is very fierce, and the defense of the ruins is very strict. Isn't it because the empire is not chaotic enough that they have the leisure to care about other things?"
His eyes glanced at everyone, and there was suddenly a hint of fanaticism in Zero's words.
"Since the empire is not chaotic enough, let's make it chaotic enough!!"
Under his fanatical gaze that didn't care about life or death, many high-level professionals felt a little awe-inspiring for a moment.
Not paying attention to the gazes of everyone, Zero suddenly stood up, took two steps uncharacteristically, and walked to the other end of the long table, where he was far away from the leader.
Although he was standing at the end of the long table, his awe-inspiring posture made him seem to be standing at the head of the long table.
"Support the independence of the rebel organizations and let them attract the attention of high-level officials. Incite small and medium-sized nobles to take the opportunity to form an alliance to compete with the big nobles. Aren't we doing these things before?"
As he spoke, Zero opened his hands slightly.
"Before this, I had carefully studied the system of the Gloria Empire.
The royal family is supreme, followed by the four major families, followed by the nine marquises, and then hundreds of earls, viscounts, etc."
"As for the nine great marquises, each one is at the ninth level, or even the ultimate ninth level. But their territory and resources are far lower than the four major families of the empire.
I haven't been able to collect any more information about them, but from a normal logic, are they really willing to accept this situation?"
Looking at the many members who seemed thoughtful and looked surprised, Ling waved his hand forcefully.
"So, now they have a wonderful opportunity.
There are still problems with the ruins, and this news will soon be known to everyone. Under normal circumstances, even if it is excavated, the biggest benefits will be taken away by the royal family and the four major families.
But now, the royal family and the four major families failed to find the key right away, so they got a chance.
If a certain marquis is allowed to obtain the secrets in the ruins, their strength may rise to the level of the four major families in an instant. Who can refuse such a temptation?"
"Hmph, if this is the opinion you put forward, zero, then I have to say that your vision is much shallower than your previous performance!
Even if they obtain the secret of the ruins, aren't they afraid of the subsequent sanctions from the four major families and the royal family? What's more, what if the things in the ruins cannot be turned into combat effectiveness immediately?"
Listening to Zero's words, An Yuan, who was third on the right side of the long table, let out a sigh and spoke with disdain.
"Your doubts are very reasonable. Mr. Anyuan, the question you just asked is much smarter than the image you have shown before."
Ling nodded politely to him, and then gave a specific explanation under everyone's strange and angry eyes.
"The marquis might normally be afraid to reveal it, but now that the web of fate has been clearly revealed, it's enough for them to take a gamble.
One or two marquises cannot compete with the four major families, so they can temporarily unite secretly.
It doesn’t take much, as long as four or five marquis who want to go further join forces, it will be enough to compete with any of the four major families."
"As for the sanctions against the royal family and the four major families, I think the royal family may have long had the idea of weakening the four major families.
If a certain marquis can really successfully obtain the secret of the ruins, then the royal family will come forward to help him withstand the pressure from the four major families."
Zero's tone gradually increased and was full of charisma.
"So, what we need to do is to secretly contact the Marquis of the Empire and 'help' them temporarily unite."
"It's a very simple truth. All conflicts originate from the imbalance in the distribution of interests. Then we can completely persuade those who have gained less benefits to unite to fight against those who have gained more."
"At that time, the four major families and the marquis will be at war, small and medium-sized nobles will form an alliance to fight against the rule of the big nobles, the royal family will be busy checking and balancing the intensity of the domestic war, and the rebels will be rampant in the territory, looting and adding to the chaos.
By then, how much external strength will the empire have to defend itself? Will it depend on the Professional Academy Alliance that remains permanently neutral?"
After saying that, Ling smiled, but due to the projection, no one could see it.
"The defense of the empire is like an extremely tight fortress. But if every brick and stone that makes up the wall has its own idea...then even the strongest fortress will break down!"
