Furthermore, it is unlikely that Seluvinia will lead her troops to defect to the enemy country.
Although the old emperor was asking questions, in his heart he did not agree that Seluvinia would lead his elite troops to defect to the enemy.
Is Seluvinia an ordinary person? She is so smart, so kind, and so beautiful, and she should not do such stupid things as surrendering to the enemy.
There is a saying that the old emperor admired Seluvinia from the bottom of his heart. She could actually maintain a noble mind, a firm will, and upright self-principles after going through wars, bloodbaths, and witnessing countless deaths.
If it were anyone else, they would have been defeated by the violence of war and the guilt of killing.
The reason why Seluvinia can maintain such a noble mind is because every battle she participates in is correct and just, and she fights to protect the people of her territory.
Because of this, the old emperor dared to conclude that Seluvinia would sacrifice her own interests for the sake of the people of the territory and obediently surrender to him.
The old emperor never thought that Seluvinia would abandon the people who followed her and join the hostile forces.
To be sure, the old emperor was very confused at this time. He was puzzled and could not understand the mysterious behavior of Seluvinia to deceive the emperor.
Why did Seluvinia take it upon herself to sign an armistice agreement with the enemy?
Why did Seluvinia lead her family's elite soldiers to leave the Esilans Empire?
Where did Seluvinia and her people go? What are their intentions? What do they want to do?
The old emperor racked his brains and couldn't figure out why Seluvinia suddenly made so many puzzling arrangements.
However, what Grand Duke William said next left the old emperor Monk Zhang Er even more confused...
"Your Majesty, after careful investigation and reports from coastal merchants, we can basically conclude that Count Seluvinia and her men should have gone to the Far East Continent."
"The Far East Continent? What are they doing there?" The old emperor was completely confused.
The Far East Continent is a mysterious continent spread among the business community. It is said that there is a very powerful and wealthy country there.
In the old emperor's bedroom, there were also many ceramic utensils from the Far East Continent.
It's just that... why did Seluvinia go to the Far East Continent when she had nothing to do? How is this related to her signing an armistice agreement with the enemy lord without authorization?
You know, even for an experienced businessman, a round trip to the Far East Continent would take a whole year.
Seluvinia rashly ran to the Far East Continent. What was she trying to do?
"Your Majesty, although I don't want to admit it, Count Seluvinia is indeed a great man who is unparalleled in the world in terms of literary skills and military skills. There are many people in the Esilans Empire, from high-level nobles to common people.
I support Count Seluvinia from the bottom of my heart. Please forgive me for saying that the existence of Count Seluvinia has threatened His Majesty. If Count Seluvinia is willing to surrender to Your Majesty and perform the ceremony in front of the eyes of the world,
If you swear loyalty to His Majesty and become a knight loyal to His Majesty, the situation can still be rectified. But if Count Seluvinia disobeys, it will definitely undermine the authority of the emperor, which will impact your Majesty's prestige!" Grand Duke William paused for a moment.
, then solemnly said: "Your Majesty, if a person behaves abnormally, there must be a monster, and if he speaks untruthfully, there must be a ghost. This time, Count Seluvinia concealed the truth, deceived the emperor, made a truce with the enemy country without authorization, and even sent troops to the Far East Continent.
There must be too many conspiracies hidden in this!"
"Grand Duke William, report all the information you have investigated to me truthfully." A gloomy look flashed in the old emperor's eyes. There was something in Grand Duke William's statement just now, and the change of direction hinted that he had key information in his hands.
.
Behind Seluvinia's series of abnormal actions, there must be a major hidden secret.
"As early as half a year ago, Count Seluvinia secretly communicated with the enemy lords and hatched this plan!" Grand Duke William methodically informed everyone of the information he had investigated.
First of all, how Seluvinia, Desita, and Tina conspired and planned, built plank roads openly, secretly visited Chencang, secretly joined forces in private, signed a truce agreement, and ran to the Central Plains without anyone noticing.
Secretly joining forces? Without knowing it? Where do you start talking about this?
You must know that the positions of Seluvinia, Dashda, and Tina are all hostile to each other. They are all front-line combat officers.
Under such a situation, how did Seluvinia facilitate the tripartite talks, reach a truce agreement in private, and conceal the incident until now, so that the people of the Esilans Empire discovered that something was wrong.
To put it simply, Seluvinia showed great military talent and forced Desita and Tina into an almost desperate situation.
Seluvinia, who used to only defend but not attack, suddenly took the initiative and took the initiative, leaving Dashida and Tina breathless.
Then, Seluvinia sent a private message to the two of them, asking each other to come out and have a good talk...
Since Desita and Tina, like Seluvinia, had inherited some memories related to Zhou Xingyun, they had a secret meeting under Seluvinia's inducement.
In the eyes of the people of the Esilans Empire, Seluvinia’s move was undoubtedly collaboration with the enemy and treason!
After all, neither Grand Duke William nor the old emperor of the Icelands Empire knew the existence of the supernatural world, let alone who Zhou Xingyun was.
Everyone would think there was something wrong with Seluvinia, who was about to win, but stopped at the last moment.
The most important thing is that the subsequent development of things is like 'verifying' Duke William's guess!
What did Grand Duke William guess? He thought that Seluvinia, Desita, and Tina wanted to form an alliance!
Tina is one of the heirs to the throne of a hostile neighboring country. Her current situation at home is not very good, so she went to the front line to fight against the Emperor of Heaven.
Dashida is also a great lord of a hostile neighboring country. Her voice in the country is equivalent to that of Seluvinia in the Icelands Empire, and she is deeply supported by the people in the country.
If the three of them secretly form an alliance, take care of each other, and forge victory, they can manipulate domestic public opinion, guide people's hearts, and consolidate their power with minimal casualties and costs.
In fact, this is exactly what happened. It took the people of the Aisilans Empire half a year to realize that something was wrong. It was precisely because they built the plank road openly and secretly visited Chencang.
In these six months, the struggle between the three parties has never stopped.
Basically, one dozen is given every five days, and one dozen is given every half month.
However, what is incredible is that after nearly half a year of fighting between the three parties, there was not a single casualty...
After an in-depth investigation, Grand Duke William discovered that Seluvinia had secretly signed an armistice agreement with the enemy country. They seemed to be fighting happily, but in fact they were just joking and putting on a show for others to see.
Also, Seluvinia, Dashida, and Tina's expedition to the east will definitely require a huge amount of resources and funds.
Where do the funds come from?
Does war cost money? Yes! And it costs a lot of money!
Does the expedition cost money? Yes! It also costs a lot of money!
Now that the armistice agreement has been signed, we can no longer fight, but the military expenditures used for the war here can be... Anyone who understands understands!
Although Grand Duke William still doesn’t know why Seluvinia and others went to the Far East Continent, there is one thing he dares to say frankly...
"Count Seluvinia deceived the superiors and deceived the subordinates, colluded with the enemy generals, and secretly misappropriated military funds. This is undoubtedly a betrayal of His Majesty and an act of treason! We must prepare for the unexpected!"
"Why are they going to the Far East Continent?"
Grand Duke William said a lot, but he did not mention the most important point.
The old emperor wanted to know why Seluvinia and others wanted to go on an expedition to the far east, which was a hundred and eighty thousand miles away from the Esilans Empire.
"Count Seluvinia is a thoughtful woman, and her inner plans will probably not be easily revealed to us. However, from the information I have collected from various aspects, I can deduce some clues. They are going to the Far East Continent.
Seems like he's looking for someone."
"Looking for someone? Who are you looking for?" The old emperor tried his best to figure out when Seluvinia got involved with people from the Far East Continent.
"It is said that he went to meet a man." Grand Duke William added: "The news comes from our enemy country, the Hyde family of the Kingdom of Leo."
Grand Duke William said calmly that the reason why he had insight into Seluvinia's plan was because he had secretly planted spies in the Hyde family.
The tenth generation lord of the Hyde family, Dashda Kinskaya, suddenly disappeared six months ago and has not yet returned to the lord's mansion.
Paper can't stop the fire. The lord of the Hyde family has been missing for half a year. Something unusual must have happened.
As a result, Grand Duke William's secret spy in the Hyde family followed the clues and found out that Seluvinia, Desita, and Tina had a secret meeting a few months ago.
After that, the three of them summoned their elite troops with great fanfare, and seemed to be going to sea for a decisive battle.
At first, everyone thought that the three frontline commanders, Seluvinia, Desita, and Tina, were finally going to show off.
After more than ten days, the fleets of the three forces returned to the dock, but...
According to the number of ships returning to the dock, it was only one-fifth of what they had set out to do. It can be inferred that the fighting between the three parties was unprecedentedly fierce, and the casualties on both sides were immeasurable.
However, all this is an illusion!
Seluvinia, Desita, and Tina all took their confidants to the Far East Continent to meet a mysterious man.
"Going to meet a man? Is he the king of the Far East Continent?" The old emperor's face became increasingly ugly, and he felt very unhappy.
Even experienced businessmen who are familiar with the road must think carefully before going to the Far East Continent to do business.
Because the journey is so far away, each ocean voyage entails incalculable risks. The success rate and survival rate for a smooth round trip are estimated to be less than 60%.
This is still an optimistic success rate under the leadership of the old captain.
Without the guidance of experienced old captains and old businessmen, rashly heading to the Far East Continent is like throwing stones into the sea, which will sink as many as you get.
In other words, Seluvinia went to the Far East Continent at all costs for a man. How could this not make the old emperor jealous?
