Chapter 24: The most innocent lying gun in history
Broken wood mixed with stones clattered to the ground, blood spattered near the two large pits, and a hole with a diameter of more than five meters appeared on the wall in front of the mansion. m.
The confused Sonia was just about to get up from the ground when a stinging sensation came from her collarbone and a piece of wood pierced into her body. Compared to the three diplomats of the Cimolo Empire, she was already lucky.
A large group of soldiers rushed into the mansion. After seeing the tragic situation in the mansion, they all looked at Su Xiao. Su Xiao was now the highest-ranking imperial official present.
"Seal down the surrounding 5-kilometer area and capture all suspicious persons alive at all costs."
The long knife in Su Xiao's hand was sheathed, but his right arm was still numb. This was the first time he experienced the power of the steam high-pressure cannon. As far as he knew, there were at least a dozen of these hidden in Lurenfei Palace and Luna Monastery.
thing.
Su Xiao didn't expect these extraordinary beings disguised as soldiers to find clues at all. In the current situation, there were only two groups who could do such a thing. The second was the remnants of the Ninth Unit, and it was the Cimolo Empire.
As for why the Cimolo Empire attacked and killed the envoy sent by its side, the reason is very simple. To throw dirty water, the envoy Nigar died in the capital of the Dawn Empire. This is like mud falling into the pocket of the trouser. It is either shit or shit.
Of course, the Cimolo Empire doesn't care about the amount of compensation, but don't forget that it is a country with a moral obsession. Their citizens can tolerate local battlefield losses, but cannot tolerate external compensation. Once the news of the compensation is confirmed, citizens, businessmen, etc.
Everyone will be dissatisfied with the royal family, and even some middle and lower-level officials will have a grudge against the royal family.
There is still a war between the two countries, let alone negotiations after the armistice. There is no doubt that the Cimolo Empire will make a big fuss about this matter, and it is not against the Dawn Empire.
The old Saint King probably thought of the current situation a few days ago, so he asked Su Xiao to attend this meeting as a representative.
As for preventing this assassination, the old Holy King and the Moon Goddess can certainly do it, but what is the point of doing that? Force the Cimolo Empire to pay compensation?
The Cimolo Empire was not a defeated country in the true sense. If pushed too hard, the two countries would only continue to fight. Moreover, Su Xiao felt that the two countries had such a tacit understanding that they might be planning something.
What really puzzles Su Xiao is, why did the Moon Goddess send Sonia? This woman has lost power with the Moon Goddess?
The mansion was sealed within a few minutes, and the 1,000 soldiers from the Cimolo Empire were disarmed and their armor and weapons were confiscated.
A transcendent of his own party disguised as a soldier hurried to Su Xiao's side and whispered:
"Sir, all of Cimolo's soldiers have been disarmed. Their armors are all made of pure gold! They are just coated with iron paint."
After hearing this report, Su Xiao was sure that this matter was definitely done by the Cimolo Empire, and it would not end easily.
"Collect."
"yes."
Su Xiao felt relieved. He had been worried that this was done by the remnants of the Ninth Unit. In that case, the blame might be thrown on him.
The Cimolo Empire was not prepared to openly pay compensation from the beginning. As for the three people who came, they were just victims, including the 1,000 soldiers. Unsurprisingly, they would all die on the way back.
The struggle for power is extremely cruel, let alone when it escalates to an overt and covert struggle between two countries.
The follow-up matters at the mansion were quickly handled. The remains of the three envoys were sent back to the Cimolo Empire. The bodies of the assassins were also found. In a tower 3 kilometers away from the mansion, the steam high-pressure cannon had been destroyed, and 15 people were killed.
The assassins all committed suicide.
The 'miraculous' thing is that these 15 assassins are all from the Lordan Empire. After discovering this, the Dawn Empire sent a message and sent them to the Cimolo Empire and the Lordan Empire respectively.
At noon that day, the Cimolo Empire received the news. The royal family there was furious. After personally sending people to collect evidence, they targeted the Lordan Empire.
The Dawn Empire also had the same attitude and sent envoys to angrily denounce the Lordan Empire.
This made the Lordan Empire look confused. He was originally a melon-eater, and he was not happy about the conflict between the two neighbors. But now the situation has changed, and the two powerful neighbors have turned around and denounced him. See what he means.
It's not impossible to unite and go to war against him.
In the evening of the same day, Su Xiao learned the news. If there had not been secret negotiations between the old Holy King, the Moon Goddess, and the royal family of the Cimolo Empire, he would have torn off the little adjutant's head and used it as a stool to sit on.
This was obviously colluded in advance. The war reparations and the 53.9 tons of gold were simply bribery.
The meaning of the Cimolo Empire is very obvious. Our two countries are about the same strength and can't fight anything in a short time, so we will join forces to kill the poor one first, and then fight it out to avoid being forced by the poor one.
I took advantage and got rid of both of us after the war.
Dawn Empire's answer is simple, okay, kill him.
After the assassination of the messenger Nigar, almost all the citizens thought that there would be conflicts between the two countries, but who would have thought that the most unlucky one would be the Lordan Empire.
As soon as the remains of the messenger Nigar were returned to the Cimolo Empire, he was immediately canonized as a hereditary earl, awarded the first-class Imperial Order, the Order of the Heroic Spirit, and the Order of the Moon.
The dazzling operation of the Old Saint King, the Moon Goddess, and the Cimolo royal family stunned the Lordan Empire. People were sitting at home, and a pot came from the sky, and it was a big pot that could kill them.
"So that's what happened!"
In Su Xiao's residence, the young adjutant slapped his thigh. At the same time, he could not help but feel a chill in his heart. These people in power were so shady. If you offended them, you really don't know how they died.
Compared with taking the blame for the Lordan Empire, Su Xiao is more concerned about one thing, that is, the West Moro Empire has completely reached a reconciliation. As for starting a war with the Lordan Empire, it is impossible in a short time. The two empires must first start with trade.
Exports are curbed by the Lordan Empire. For example, the Empire of Dawn no longer provides advanced steam machinery, and the West Moroan side stops exporting minerals, etc.
In a short period of time, the two empires will not join forces to attack the Lordan Empire, but will enter a real honeymoon period.
This means that the opportunity for the Old Saint King and the Moon Goddess has come. This period is very suitable to eliminate their opponents, even though only about 80% of the follow-up matters on Yinghou's side have been handled.
Facts proved that Su Xiao's guess was correct. Early the next morning, the old Saint King summoned Su Xiao.
Lurenfei Palace, in the flower room in the south area.
The old Saint King glanced at Su Xiao from time to time as if to guard against a thief, lest Su Xiao damage his beloved flowerpot.
"How certain are you of attacking Luna Monastery from the front?"
The old Holy King opened his mouth and said something that made Su Xiao slightly confused. He really didn't expect that the Old Holy King actually planned to attack the Moon God Monastery head-on. He was too impatient, which was not in line with the old Holy King's steady and ruthless character.
"It's almost impossible. There are more than 4,000 Moon Apostles stationed in the monastery, and the total number of steam guns and steam pressure cannons is at least hundreds."
While Su Xiao was answering, she was thinking quickly in her mind.
"Really? What if I gave you 6,000 extraordinary beings and blocked that area for more than 10 hours?"
The old holy king put down the kettle in his hand, and just as he was about to say something more, he coughed loudly.
