007 Signs of War(2/2)
Everyone looked in the direction of these words, and there was a fat figure sitting there. In line with his bloated figure, his identity was the Empire's Finance Minister, Field Pamuir.
"I've always been suspicious of those things of yours! You..." It seemed that he realized that this occasion was not suitable for uttering some words. His voice, which was slightly sharp because of his obesity, paused, and then continued: "
I hope that war is not a bad thing. As the finance minister of the empire, I think I am the most powerful person to say this, because I know that our country is very rich and very... able to fight."
"Even if the so-called war factions in the empire are looking forward to it, so what? We have the ability, we have the reasons, we have the benefits... aren't these enough? Those young people want to make contributions,
Then let them go, anyway, we have enough military funds to let them go; those country bumpkins from the principality want to fight us, then let them come, I have long disliked them; as for those other people you call...
..”
The fat man's voice paused, then suddenly became louder.
"It's all your lies! Your rumors! Your...your fabricated, imaginary...illusions!"
Waving his arms seemed to take a lot of strength from the fat man. He squeezed into the solid black chair, relaxed his body, and then began to breathe slightly. The fair-skinned young man kept smiling in the face of his questioning, because
He was confident that others would not care about the fat man's remarks.
At this moment, the figure on the highest throne finally spoke.
"Sir Pamuir, please calm down."
The voice was not loud, but full of majesty, just like the image of the middle-aged man in the seat. He had his beard spread out like a lion, but it is difficult to imagine that white beard appearing on a man in his forties or fifties, who is in his prime.
On the emperor in his prime.
Drenir Frey Kadraft, the current emperor of the Frey Empire, is wearing a golden-red imperial costume that suits his status, and is holding a black gentleman's staff in one hand, seemingly casually
There was a sharp look hidden in his expression, which glanced at everyone present from time to time. After the Finance Minister's criticism, this mighty emperor shut up all those who still wanted to talk with one sentence. Because they knew
, the decision is coming tonight.
"Continue to investigate the authenticity of that matter, the border-crossing incident at the garrison fortress..." The emperor pondered for a moment before speaking: "Continue to put pressure on that old stubborn Haosman...
Let him make an explanation. As for those restorationists..." He sneered twice: "Just let them dance a few times. I would like to see how far they can go."
"As for sending troops, we will leave it to the ministers...to discuss together tomorrow."
******************
The night was deep, the news from the palace spread, and several people in the tavern felt relieved.
"Finally, the fight didn't start. Don't worry, don't worry." The woman named Nan Zhi breathed a sigh of relief: "This way our goal will not be affected..."
"The worries here can finally be put down, but don't be too happy. Our old enemies may have heard the news, and they seem to have made some moves recently..." The single-glasses military advisor then poured cold water on
All humane.
"Huh, Jianghu..." Freefly sneered and sneered again: "Since Tania's incident... sooner or later they will suffer..."
The man called Tiepan secretly stuck out his tongue. He knew that every time the president made such a sneer, it was a sign of his lack of confidence. After all, he was also the top team in the alliance that had suppressed them for a long time.
meeting......
"By the way, I don't know if you heard it, but that person is online today..."
Thinking of his old enemy, a rumor suddenly flashed into his mind. When he heard the news, he subconsciously didn't believe it, so he dismissed it as gossip, but now that he remembered it, he casually said it.
"Who..."
"You are like this, who can understand..."
The confused responses from everyone seemed to comfort the iron plate a little. He laughed and said: "It is indeed a rumor. I thought how could it be possible at that time? Hahahaha... Uh, what's wrong with you guys?
.....”
The man's voice gradually changed, because the others seemed to have thought of something from his question, and their expressions became strange. Freefly was stunned at first, and then gradually became solemn.
"Are you...that person...?"
"That one from three years ago..."
There was some solemnity in the air, as if they had a telepathic connection, and several people did not give their answers. They looked at each other, and they all saw a trace of luck in each other's eyes, and a sense of tension as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
"Hey, hey, have you heard this..." The man spoke loudly, his voice no longer as bold as before: "Is it true..."
Everyone was speechless, and the atmosphere became darker. The woman, as if she wanted to get rid of these unpleasant feelings, shook her head: "It must be a rumor..." and then walked out of the room.
"Hey, Gardenia, where are you going? Wait for me..." Tie Ban chased him out as if he had done something wrong, and his voice became more and more distant. But Monoglass sat there with a frown on his face.
He stopped and whispered: "If it is true...".
"Find some people to let this matter out, see the public's reaction, and by the way... also test it out."
After making some explanations to a subordinate, Freefly walked to the window and looked at the bustling capital city in the night. He thought about the guild's plan and the sudden rumors. For a moment, his heart was in confusion. In the end, he just raised his head and looked.
Looking at the bright starry sky that does not exist in reality, he sighed and shook his head.
