If analyzed in this way, Ye Qiong instantly understood why the undead insect demon itself had not caused trouble for them for a long time. I bet it was the Knight of Despair who persuaded them to retreat.
No wonder the Apocalypse Empire has no idea of looking for Calvis in the past six months. This is the reason.
It is estimated that the upper echelons of the empire have now reached unity and have put aside the pursuit of Calvis for the time being. After all, the price to pay for offending a god is too high.
The only ones who are anxious now are George and Abery, who have completely become enemies with Calvis.
"Abele" looked up and saw that the king's face was much haggard. Compared to the past six months, he had not been able to sleep peacefully even a day.
"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. We still have a hostage in our hands. Calvis should not dare to make any move for a while. If we can force him to panic, it would be best to kill him in San Caner City. If this is the case, no matter how reluctant Bertans and Jamie are, they can only take down Calvis.
If not, it will not only be His Majesty's face that will be shamed, but the face of the entire empire.
They are all noble knights who believe in the Holy Father. How can they tolerate the heresy of the Ghost Church to run rampant in the holy imperial capital. "
"That's right, that's the truth."
After saying this, George was a little confused and looked at Bishop Abere below with a slightly confused look on his face:
"Why do I feel that something is wrong with you today? Normally you would not call me Your Majesty in private."
"That's not important. The most important thing now is how to maximize the interests of the hostages in our hands."
Apponias changed the subject in time and continued:
"Now that Calvis has fallen silent, the empire's top officials are also happy to see this. What we have to do is to completely pull those nobles into the water, so that they have to stand on the opposite side of Calvis. This is the most important thing.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for us alone to deal with Calvis and the sixth-level powerhouse standing behind him. "
"Yes, that's right."
George's attention was immediately diverted, and he did not pay attention to the issue of the title just now.
"Then we will directly send this wolf to the execution rack? With Calvis's character, he will definitely come to the rescue."
"No, if we go to war, this wolf will be saved even if Calvis doesn't need to take action."
George was a little confused and asked:
"Huh? Who else but Calvis would save this wolf?"
"There are also humans who want to please the gods. The five nobles are united. Is it true that Duke White Eagle is the only one who knows that Calvis is valued by the Knight of Despair?
I don't think so. They must be communicating secretly and waiting for an opportunity to establish friendship with Calvis.
Do you think they would do nothing if someone they knew was valued by Calvis was arrested by us? "
George was not stupid, and he quickly understood the implication of "Abery".
"Then we can only wait for Calvis to come to the rescue in person?"
"No, it's not necessary. You just need to make it look like Calvis is causing trouble in San Caner City.
Your Majesty, don't forget, our goal from the beginning to the end is to bring the five nobles to an end.
Only by guiding public opinion, stimulating the hostility of the people at the bottom against Calvis, and stimulating the rest of the nobles in St. Caner City, can the five nobles be forced to stand down and confront Calvis. "
After such analysis, George immediately became enlightened.
"Yes, you are right."
Then there was some confusion, when did Abele become so smart? The few words he just said really sounded like a counselor.
However, he did not struggle with this issue for too long. He just thought that it was because the threat of Calvis inspired Abele's potential.
What lies before them now is how to bring down the five nobles.
This move is bound to offend Duke White Eagle and others, but George can no longer control so much. When Calvis comes back, he certainly knows what choices these animals will make.
Compared to then, he, the puppet king, will be abandoned as a pawn and used as a bargaining chip to win over Calvis.
A young man valued by the gods and an old puppet king, no matter how you look at it, the former is more valuable to win over.
George can see his situation relatively clearly. If the time comes to make a decision, he will definitely be the abandoned son.
After all, in the eyes of the five nobles, the king is just a substitute and can support another person to come to power at any time. George clearly knows that several of his traitors have long been looking forward to his return to the West.
If you want to survive, there is only one way, and that is to take advantage of the situation to kill Calvis and get back the Eye of the Sky sequence ability.
He wants to hold a sacrifice to the evil god to awaken this sequence ability, so that he can break through the sixth level. Only in this way can he have the confidence to talk to the five nobles.
George cheered up a lot, straightened his back, looked at Abery and asked:
"How to make it look like Calvis is causing trouble in the city of San Caner?"
"Let's not rush this. Let's wait a few days and see what happens in Calvis. If they don't do anything, we will find another way."
"That's right. If Calvis comes to the door, we don't need to think so much."
In order to completely win over Abery to his side, George thought for a moment and decided to reveal a piece of information:
"I know how to awaken the fairy cloak."
Goblin cloak?
Apponias was a little confused, but he quickly figured it out. It was probably Abele's ability to avoid the surveillance of the Eye of the Sky.
Pretending to be excited, he asked:
"What is it?"
"It's very simple, just get the blessing from the Fairy King."
"Abele" seemed a little scornful of these words.
"You call this simple? Since the Dark Holy War, the goblin clan has been extinct in the Demon Spirit Continent. Where can I go to find the goblin king to bless me?"
George seemed to have anticipated Abery's reaction. He raised the corners of his mouth, smiled slightly, and then replied:
"Who said it can't be found? Do you still remember the legend about King Thaurissan, the founding emperor of the Apocalypse Empire?"
"Abele" thought for a moment and then replied:
"The part about the Rebel Hammer?"
"Yes, according to the records, the weapon used by King Thaurissan, the Rebel Hammer, originated from the Earth Elf King."
"Do you know the whereabouts of the Earth Fairy King?"
"have no idea."
"Then what's the use of all this?"
"I know the way to go to the kingdom of fairies. After the Dark Holy War, the fairies did not become extinct, but went to another world. According to rumors, the gods who died in the holy war also went to this world.
After killing Calvis, I can tell you this method. "
"not now?"
"no."
George chose to refuse without hesitation. This was the last trump card in his hand. How could he hand it over easily, even if Abery was now his only ally.
Seeing that the king's attitude was so resolute, "Abele" did not persist. He just walked to "Kanlis", grabbed the rope that helped her, and then turned to look at George:
"I'll take care of her, okay?"
"You proposed the plan, so you will naturally be solely responsible for it. I will not interfere too much."
George also knows that his talents are limited. Under normal circumstances, in most situations, he chooses to delegate power to people close to him to handle matters.
It was handled by Howard before, but now it's Abele.
"Abele" picked up Kamlis from the ground, and then walked towards the door.
As soon as he stepped through the door, Ye Qiong established a spiritual connection with Apponias.
"Why do you want to help George with advice?"
"Your purpose should be to subvert the Apocalypse Empire, right?"
"That's right."
If you want to fully grasp the power of angry ghosts and gods in your body, you must deal with the remaining resentment of "Calvis", and his resentment is revenge against the Apocalypse Empire.
Simply killing George is not enough, the Apocalypse Empire must be overthrown.
"Aren't you curious? Why is George on the throne and not the five nobles?"
“They check and balance each other?”
"No, with the power of Duke White Eagle and the Knight Commander, it is extremely easy to push yourself or your heirs to the throne.
Furthermore, since Duke White Eagle knows that you have a seventh-level god standing in your body, why do you continue to support him as a puppet?
The power of the five nobles is balanced, and no one can ascend the throne. Then the king who has offended the gods can be removed from power to prevent the wrath of the desperate knight.
Why didn't they do this? He is obviously just a puppet king, why would he be allowed to provoke enemies for the empire? "
A series of questions made Ye Qiong fall into thinking.
"You mean they are afraid?"
“Either it’s because George has a trump card against the five nobles, or the five nobles are afraid.
I personally think that the latter is more likely. If George has a trump card, how come he has done nothing after so many years?
Holding back is not something this idiot king would do. "
"Are the five nobles afraid?"
Upon hearing these words, Ye Qiong instantly knew what Apponias was thinking.
"So you proposed the previous plan for George just to test the attitude of the five nobles?"
"Yes, I want to know what the attitude of the five nobles will be when Calvis, who is favored by the gods, comes back."
After that, they were about to walk out of the palace, and just when they were about to turn left, towards the church, they suddenly spotted an acquaintance.
"White snake?"
"Abele" unconsciously said the name of the person in front of him.
The cloaked white snake heard this and raised his head to look.
"Bishop Abery?"
Then he looked at the captured trouble wolf girl, and an expression of joy immediately appeared on her face.
"Have you captured her?"
White Snake also did not expect that George and Abele would be so fast. Within a few days of learning the news, they had already captured the troubled girl.
In order to avoid making too many mistakes, "Abele" just nodded lightly.
"Okay, okay, with her as a hostage, I won't be afraid that Calvis will continue to hide in the Hidden Forest.
Bishop Abele, can you leave her to me? I have a way to lure Calvis here. "
"No need, this is my trophy. Besides, I have discussed with George before how to deal with her."
Abele chose to refuse without mercy. With this indifferent attitude, White Snake could only think that the other party was dissatisfied with his departure two days ago.
Seeing this, he didn't say anything more. In his opinion, Abele also wanted to use this hostage to lure Calvis, and the two of them would be dealt with the same thing no matter who.
"Okay, my teacher is almost at San Caner City. He may join us to deal with Calvis by then."
"Abei Lei" heard this and just nodded coldly and then turned around and left.
White Snake walked into the palace.
"If I remember correctly, White Snake's teacher should be the immortal snake, right?"
"That's right, Your Excellency, the Immortal Snake is a strong man who has experienced the Dark Holy War and survived. The most important thing is that he once attacked the terrifying knight Taimar and escaped unscathed."
"Terror Knight? So it seems that this immortal snake has the power to resist the gods?"
"Yes, after all, he is an old thing who has survived for thousands of years, so it is normal to have such methods.
No wonder they dared to take action again after half a year. It turned out to be with the help of the Immortal Snake. "
"If it were an immortal snake, could it see through our disguise?"
"The transfiguration potion is only a third-level potion. It's okay to hide it from George White Snake and others, but it may be difficult to hide it from the Immortal Snake.
But don't worry, I have another way to disguise myself. "
After that, he continued walking towards the Holy Light Church.
The next day came in a blink of an eye, and Apponias's movements were extremely fast, causing his clone to transform into "Calvis" and cause trouble in the city of San Caner.
For a time, the traitor Calvis became a nightmare for everyone in the city. The lower-class civilians and most of the nobles were constantly denouncing him, demanding that the damned heretic be punished.
Faced with this mammoth scene, Knight Commander Bertans remained motionless.
Another three days passed.
During this period, Calvis repeatedly carried out provocations in the city of San Caner, and even came to the palace in an attempt to assassinate King George.
Knight Commander, Duke White Eagle saw this and still did not take any action.
The teacher in the sky of White Snake still has not arrived at St. Kaner City. George has questioned White Snake many times, and White Snake only replied lightly:
"The teacher has his own arrangements."
Late at night, Apponias was summoned by George. He packed up his clothes, then looked at "Canlis" and said:
"Your Excellency, I will go to the palace first."
In response, Ye Qiong just nodded lightly.
There are no restraints on his body. On the surface, he is a prisoner, but in fact, he is extremely free. During this time, he has been exploring the city of Saint Caner. (End of chapter)
