While the two forces of Suriel's military were fighting fiercely in Ma Se, the observation deck of the Ancestral City in the Eastern Region was also in a tense atmosphere.
Major General Cook and McCann came to Chief of Staff Jeans on behalf of Philip to discuss the attack on the Holy Castle, but found that Templeton and Emin, who had arrived earlier, were already there.
"Are you Wilson's subordinate?" After a brief introduction, Genes asked with narrowed eyes.
"Maybe it's more appropriate to call him a colleague!" Philip felt dissatisfied when he saw that the other party showed no respect at all. He nodded and replied coldly.
He was very surprised to meet Templeton and Amin here. Although he didn't know the purpose of these two people, he already had a feeling that something was wrong.
After hearing the other party confirm his identity, Genes's face suddenly darkened.
"Wilson had been in direct contact with the prince before. Now that Mr. Scotton has been unfortunately killed, why did he send you here instead of focusing on catching the murderer?!" Mr. Chief of Staff asked unceremoniously.
Phillip was shocked when he heard this. He was very puzzled by the other party's attitude, but he couldn't figure out the reason for the moment.
He was about to explain, but Cook said before him: "Chief of Staff, what's wrong with you? Mr. Philip is here to discuss with us the important matter of sending troops, which is also related to the future of the Eastern Region!"
Although Cook's tone was a little hurried, his attitude was very respectful. It was obvious that he had a good personal relationship with Jeans, an old senior and partner.
Seeing Cook's face full of sincerity, Genes secretly blamed himself for not being able to control his temper.
He was interrupted after a few words with Templeton and Emin. Indeed, Wilson should not be identified as the murderer of Scotton just based on the one-sided words of these two people.
"Then let's talk straight! What do you mean?" Genes asked in a deep voice with a slightly slower tone.
"Enter the Holy Castle immediately!" Philip said concisely and straightforwardly.
Genes pondered for a moment, without comment, but turned to Templeton and Emin and said, "What about you? Is that what you mean?!"
Templeton and Emin were not surprised to meet McCann representatives at the ancestral meeting, but they did not expect to have a direct confrontation on such an occasion.
According to the prepared draft, Deng Pula replied calmly: "The Eastern Region is part of Suriel, and so is the army here. The current political situation in the country is unstable, and it is really not suitable to go to war with other countries. However, whether to fight or not to fight , the army in the Eastern Region has the right to make decisions on its own. As long as your starting point is for the interests of the country and the people of Suriel! This is the message my father commander asked me to convey! "
"Lord Homulus means the same thing!" Emin added at the right time.
No matter what Genes and Cook thought after hearing these words, Philip only felt his head buzzing.
What are these two guys talking about? Are you kidding?
"General Temple, are you sure this is what Marshal Hassan meant? It is a consensus reached by your father and Mr. Wilson long ago to send troops to the Holy Fort with the Eastern Division. My coming here this time is not just because of Mr. Wilson's request. The commission was approved by Marshal Hassan in advance. I think Chief of Staff Jeans and Major General Cook should have also received written orders about this. Why did these things turn out to be different when they came to your mouth? Rhetoric? Who do you represent?!" Philip shouted sternly.
As he spoke, he already assumed a defensive posture, as if facing a powerful enemy.
When Cook heard this, his expression suddenly changed, his eyebrows raised and his eyes widened, as if he was about to have a seizure.
Templeton didn't pay attention to the other party's reaction and sighed softly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Jeans's eyes were filled with deep coldness. He exchanged glances with Emin who was looking at him and asked, "Do you have anything to say about this?"
"Mr. Philip, you just said that Wilson and Marshal Hassan had already reached a consensus about marching into the Holy Castle? Excuse me, was this consensus before Prince Scotton was killed?" Emin asked slowly.
Philip felt a little regretful as soon as he said what he said just now. Now that he had been caught by the other party, he could only insist: "What does this have to do with the murder of the prince? Marshal Hassan understands the righteousness and supports His Highness the Prince to replace Capricorn Tong. Naturally I will also have some exchanges with Mr. Wilson, and the decision to send troops to the Holy Castle was their previous joint decision!"
It would be better if he didn't say this, but now that he was arguing, even Cook could smell something strange.
"Why does the prince insist on going to war with Rus?" Cook asked suspiciously.
Hearing this question, Philip felt a little more at ease, and came up with the excuse he had prepared: "Of course, the prince has confirmed the identity of Capricorn Tong, and he is not the biological son of the late King Su Lier. And this matter belongs to Luers. Conspiracy. That’s why the prince decided to seek justice from Ruhrs after he took control of power."
After he finished speaking eloquently, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he finally got his words back.
Aimin also breathed a sigh of relief, he finally waited for this sentence.
He looked at the somewhat lost Dempla, waiting for him to speak.
Templeton's mood was very complicated at this time. Philip's words once again proved that Hassan and Wilson had indeed colluded for a long time.
He suppressed the anger in his heart and said softly: "Actually, Prince Scott's thoughts are completely different from what you said, Mr. Philip!"
As soon as Templer said these words, it was like a stone thrown into the lake of his heart. Everyone suppressed their emotions and listened attentively to what he continued to say.
"On that day, Prince Scott was killed. I acted in a panic and was imprisoned by the marshal. After I calmed down, when I was packing up the prince's belongings, I accidentally found a letter he left for me." Deng As Puula said, she actually took out a letter from her arms and handed it to Jeans.
Phillip never expected that the other party would have such a skill.
Needless to say, the letter must contain content that is detrimental to McCann's plan. Regardless of whether it is true or false, if it is revealed at this time, it will definitely add many variables.
On the surface, he was calm and dismissive, but secretly he was already nervous.
Phillip snorted coldly, turned slightly sideways, and quietly pressed on his ring several times.
Templeton's words and deeds were far beyond the expectations of the two generals from the Eastern Region.
Although Genes tried his best to control it, his hands that took the letter were still shaking involuntarily.
Cook simply lost half of his courage to read the letter and only stared at the chief of staff's face.
After a while, Jeans put away the letter respectfully and said to Cook: "The prince said that if something unexpected happens during his trip to Maseru, he will ask General Templeton to take charge of all affairs in the Eastern Region. I hope you and I will do our best to assist you." !”
"Impossible! This letter is fake! Who in Suriel doesn't know that Templeton is a die-hard loyalist of Capricorn Tong. Sigdon went to Masek to seize power. How could he hand over the power of the Eastern Region to a person? People who are only loyal to the Queen? Isn't this ridiculous?! I order you to take down Temple and Emin now. The right and wrong will be discussed later!" Philip shouted angrily.
He was really anxious now, and the other party's despicable methods were simply outrageous.
The lie about having Temple in charge of the Eastern Region is too outrageous!
"Mr. Phillip, when did you start giving orders in the Eastern Region? I'm afraid it's not your turn to intervene in the Suril people's affairs, right?!" Ai Min said gloomily.
As he spoke, he was already secretly on guard.
This shrewd staff officer had already considered many possible scenarios on his way to Zudai. The only thing he didn't expect was that this letter would be opened in front of the McCann representative.
"Hey! Man's calculation is not as good as God's. At this point, we can only see how these two adults from the East Region decide! Mr. Mai! You have done me a lot of harm!" Ai Min thought helplessly in her heart.
