While Liao Yu was taking care of the Demon King's Tower and supporting the elves, the outside world was also changing rapidly.
The death of the imperial envoy was not a trivial matter. It was impossible to just listen to Illinois's unilateral statement. Although the empire did not directly send troops, it also deployed a lot of manpower to investigate.
And the results of the investigation.
empire.
Imperial capital.
The seventh prince's residence.
The investigators who had returned from Illinois were now reporting to the brown-haired man holding a beautiful lady on the opposite side of the main seat with a "lion's head" carving.
"So, are all the royal families and nobles in Illinois really dead?" The seventh prince asked with interest as he tapped the gold-plated armrest with his fingers.
"Yes, Your Highness, even the old king's funeral was held on the same day."
Tsk tsk.
After smacking his lips, the seventh prince stood up from his lion throne. With a wave of his hand, he motioned for the beauties and dancers beside him to step back. After pacing around the room for a while, he asked again:
"So, Illinois is not lying. The unlucky envoy was really killed by a passing Syndicate thug?"
"The current conclusion is that it is indeed like this, after all." The investigating intelligence officer hesitated to speak.
But the seventh prince understood what he meant.
Yuffie, who was able to slaughter a whole family, including his own father and sister, as the elder sister's eldest princess, shouldn't look like an act.
Or.
If it were to be acted out, then how ruthless and sinister this Princess Yuffie must be to do such a thing.
The seventh prince didn't think that a princess from a small country in Illinois could have such means and courage.
What's more, being selected to become an imperial emissary is not just a job. With the strength of those low-level countries, it is unknown whether they can hurt their imperial people, let alone kill them.
So, obviously.
Or the latter, the theory of being invaded by syndicate thugs is more convincing.
Although the Seventh Prince has always firmly believed that the power of the people of the Empire is supreme.
But in the desert basin, which is constantly at war and full of crime, it is undeniable that there are many powerful guys in the Syndicate, some of which even give him a headache as the prince of the empire.
It's not surprising that he could kill the envoy.
Moreover, he casually massacred the royal family and the royal family of a small and innocent country, which was indeed in line with his impression of the Syndicate's brutality and bloodthirsty.
but
The seventh prince's lips curled up into a smile.
For him, this sudden accident in the empire was like being hit by a golden egg. With his keen sense of smell, he immediately realized the opportunity behind this incident.
After the death of the imperial envoy, it is impossible to give up and take action. Otherwise, where is the majesty of their empire?
Therefore, the Empire will definitely form an army to go to the Syndicate.
If you think about it according to this logic, the opportunity is hidden in it.
"I have applied to the Great Sage. This crusade will be led by me, Alba Flo, personally. We will go to the Syndicate to capture the murderer and give him a shock."
When the subordinate on the other side heard this, he was a little surprised and said: "Your Highness, why do you, the noble one, do this yourself?"
"Oh, idiot, do you think I really just went to avenge the envoy and find the murderer? Are you kidding me? I'm just an envoy, but I'm worthy of it?"
The seventh prince's face was filled with contempt.
He quickly changed his voice and said: "My real purpose is Syndicate's magic oil mine."
"Magic Oil Mine!?"
The subordinate murmured to himself as if he understood something. He immediately widened his eyes and said, "Your Highness, is that rumor true?"
The Syndicate has always been a desert, so other major forces can't touch this kind of ghost place without touching it. It's a thankless task and there is no need to fight with the barefoot.
However, in recent days, there have always been rumors that there are actually large tracts of magic oil mines hidden under the Syndicate desert that can bring huge amounts of energy.
These oil deposits, which contain rich magic power, are simply the best catalysts for spells. They have unparalleled promotion effects and can be used in many situations to bring inestimable huge benefits.
If only it could be mined.
"This news was told to me personally by the "Great Sage". It cannot be false. I also gave him a guarantee that I will hand over half of the proceeds from the oil field to him in the future. Even so, this is my fight for the throne. A great opportunity, got it?”
"Understood, Your Highness! Once we really find the magic oil mine and take it for ourselves, with such wealth, we will definitely help you gain a transcendent advantage in the competition with other princes!"
The subordinates nodded with great excitement. For those servants who had already stood in line, it was natural that the more promising their master was, the more they could follow the rising tide.
No wonder.
No wonder His Highness said that this was an opportunity. With the death of his envoy, His Highness could not only legitimately commandeer the empire's public army for his own use, but he could also hide it from others and punish the villains so that other princes would not be suspicious.
high!
Your Highness's move is really wonderful.
The Seventh Prince enjoys the admiration of his subordinates now, but he will not be careless because of this. This operation is of great importance and he must be fully prepared.
Although Olba doesn't think that the Syndicate can still resist under the cavalry of the Imperial Army, but after all, it is better to be prepared, and it is always right to be more prepared.
"Come out, Goro." The seventh prince said calmly to the back room behind him.
Golo?
Could it be that adult?
In the astonishment of his subordinates, a female figure slowly appeared behind the scenes of the Seventh Prince. She was gorgeous and scantily clad. She seemed to be covered in various trinkets, including skulls, fangs, and witch dolls.
The femme fatale sat on the seventh prince's lap, put her hands around his neck, and stared at her trembling men with a smile, not daring to look directly at her.
after all
That's the hunter-killer on the empire's list!
The 73rd ranked hunt, Voodoo - Goro!
Legend has it that this hunter knew all kinds of natural poison strains and was especially proficient in poison techniques. She once single-handedly caused tens of thousands of residents in a small city in a neighboring country to suffer from plague, causing countless deaths and injuries.
With this seventh prince helping him in hunting, they were sure.
Before the excitement in his subordinates' hearts was over, the Seventh Prince clapped his hands again, and three figures walked out from behind.
"Poison Granny, I advise you to stay away from our Highness. If the poison in your body harms His Highness, who will pay us?"
"Syndicate, right? Jie Jiejie misses his hometown so much. I wonder how those old friends are doing now, Jiejie"
The first one with a rough voice, a strong man with a strong back and strong waist, ranked 71 on the hunting list, the king of beasts - Tedino!
Legend has it that this hunter can talk to birds of prey. No matter how ferocious the beast is, it is like a cat in front of him and can fight for him. At the same time, Tedino himself can also call on the power of the wild and become infinitely powerful.
The second one had a hoarse voice and laughed "Jie Jie". Of course, the Seventh Prince's subordinates also recognized him. Although he looked bad and skinny, he was actually ranked 63rd on the empire's hunting list!
Bone King——Pastor
Legend has it that he was the top necromancer. He was once sent by the empire to punish a disobedient small country. As a result, the hunter directly used the entire royal city of that small country as a blood sacrifice material to summon a sixth-level undead monarch. !
Not a hunter.
But three, three top 100 hunters! ?
Now, just by being in the same room with them, the subordinates are already sweating profusely, their legs are weak, and they can't even stand still.
It seems that the seventh prince really spent a lot of money this time.
With such a luxurious lineup, coupled with the 50,000 invincible cavalry army assigned by the empire, even the infamous Syndicate has to stand down obediently.
How to lose?
There is no way to lose!
It is what a superior should do to give his subordinates the confidence to win. The Seventh Prince was very satisfied with the current appearance of his subordinates. He finally ordered:
"Go ahead and check the final preparations for us tomorrow morning."
"Go to war immediately!"
The last seventh prince returned to his Lion-Hearted Throne and quietly touched the hilt of a sword beside the throne. It seemed dusty and inconspicuous, but in fact, this was what he had told no one. , is his biggest trump card.
Given to him by the "Great Sage" to ensure the success of this operation.
Holy sword!
