Throne Steps

Chapter 147 One letter stirs up waves

In the central part of the Raetia continent, the central branch of the Saenz intelligence organization.

"This chief executive is really getting more and more remarkable."

A young woman in simple attire sat at the table, her long hair was tied up in a high ponytail behind her head, and she flipped through the documents with her slender fingers.After reading it for a few seconds, she closed the album and laughed mockingly: "...this level of self-righteousness is really beyond compare."

"What's the matter with him? Every time I hear about him from you, nothing good happens." The other woman on the opposite side looked at her nails casually, rather than being calm, it was better to say that she didn't care much.She leaned on the backrest with her legs crossed, and her chin resting on her waist was full of coquettishness, even though she had a face that was somewhat similar to the spokesperson of pure goodness and beauty—the pearl of pure white color.

"I heard that you used to be an arrogant 'witch' in school. Why did you always get ridden by him after graduation?"

"That's because he didn't have so much ability to make stupid moves back then." "Witch" Sean snorted twice, and threw the intelligence document in his hand to the opposite side, "Guess what happened to him this time? The Southwest Army makes military suggestions!"

"……what?"

The woman looked at her nails for a moment, then raised her head instantly: "I heard that right, did I give military advice to the Southwest Army?! Just him?"

"You'll know if you look at it yourself?" Sean pointed to the documents, "Don't act like it's nothing to do with you, Dan Lu, this is news sent to you!"

"But now you are in charge here..."

Because Sean's headquarters is located in the north, in order to better control the intelligence of Suoyang's battle, Sean personally led people to Danlu's place, and temporarily used the central branch closer to Suoyang as the activity location.

Dan Lu finally sat up straight, reached out to pick up the materials and opened them.The document was opened page by page, and she scanned it ten by line at a glance, her brows furrowed more and more as she looked at it.After she finished reading, she raised her head in disbelief and said, "He wrote to Wang Ting and the Southwest Army, saying that there are civilians behind Suoyang City Gate, so they can't attack by force? Is he crazy?!"

Xiao En said with a strange smile: "Who knows?"

"My God... I can't compare who wants to kill him more, His Royal Highness or Third Highness." Dan Lu slapped his forehead and threw the document back on the table, "What the hell is he, he dares to command the Southwest Army ! Is there anything about his dime in it?"

"Two letters, it's not a big deal, but who made him the first temple chief of the Third Highness? It is impossible for His Highness to think that this matter has nothing to do with his third brother, and the Wang Ting will not think that the Third Highness It's innocent." Sean rolled his eyes, "I said, what did you guys do last year? I feel that the chief executive received a lot of money... The courage to spy on the military situation without authorization and talk about wars without authorization is amazing. People look at it with admiration!"

"I don't know what happened to him, and the last paragraph didn't bring me up." Dan Lu frowned and rolled his eyes after hearing Sean count Wiggins' evidence in two or three sentences, "But I heard Li Chen It means that his special ability seems to be able to give him more gold... Maybe it has something to do with his 'seeing Suoyang' this time?"

"It's related. He entered Pesa and built the temple with this, and now there are new moths." Sean sneered, "No intelligence department can predict his hand. Fortunately, Noah gave it to him without authorization." Your Highness has sent a letter, otherwise we won't be caught blind when the chief executive makes a fuss?"

In fact, Noah ventilated Li Chen.But because he told the black swan in the temple directly, and then the internal channel of the black swan sent the news to Li Chen, so except for a few parties, no one else noticed.

Dan Lu curled his lips and said: "If that Noah is really smart, he should directly stop the letter to the Southwest Army and Wang Ting."

"Noah is still a member of Wiggins on the surface, so it is impossible to openly disobey Wiggins. Li Chen, the only one around who can stop this, and the two little wolf dogs are not in the temple. And even if Noah disagrees and does not act, Wiggins can always change someone to do this, after all, how difficult is it to send two letters?" Sean replied, "What's more, the credits of Wang Ting and the Southwest Army are sent by ordinary mail, but the notice to the Third Highness is Noah has already given us the leeway to prepare ahead of time by borrowing the 'Divine Bird' from the black swan."

Dan Lu thought for a while, then asked again: "Since His Highness has passed this news to you, what is his plan?"

"Who knows? Just wait, we don't want to interfere in this matter, let's see what His Highness's attitude is towards the chief." Sean replied easily, anyway, in her heart, Saenz's eyes absolutely cannot tolerate such a thing. This kind of self-assertion -- only Li Chen is an exception.

"Speaking of Li Chen, what kind of temper has he had with His Highness recently?"

Dan Lu was taken aback: "Huh?"

"According to the information I received...Since you came back from Samuel, it seems that Li Chen hasn't been to His Highness? This is too abnormal." Others may not be clear, but Xiao En knows that Li Chen has So much effort to please Saenz, how does Saenz value Li Chen.After all, Xiao En was the only person who was caught by someone from the intelligence headquarters to Pesa, who only got Li Chen into the hands of his boss, and then was thrown away.

Danlu asked: "Did they meet often before? I don't know very well. Then again, didn't you ask him to help you, just ask him face to face?"

Sean narrowed his eyes and asked, "Did you really not notice what happened to them when they were in Samuel?"

Yes, there is a little bit, but who dares to comment on that matter?Dan Lu's thoughts turned, but his face was still blank: "No, I said that I was 'abandoned' halfway."

Sean knew that there was a secret to this trip, so he couldn't ask any more details, so he glanced at her angrily: "I don't know about this, and I didn't pay attention to that. I doubt whether you went or not."

In the middle of the night, the Southwest Army is temporarily stationed.

A southwestern soldier wrapped in night clothes withdrew from the main tent, looking tired and dusty.As soon as he came out, he ran into a patrol team that was passing by. After rushing away and nodding to the captain in front, his figure quickly disappeared into the night.

The main tent was brightly lit, and the commander-in-chief of the 5-thousand corps—a colonel of the Southwest Army—was sitting on the main seat, with several of his cronies and subordinates beside him.

"According to what the scouts just said, Suoyang really organized civilians to attack the city gate?" A major sitting at the bottom mused, "It's really a good plan. He deliberately did this to show us, just to see that we dare not Hurt the people easily, delay if you can... a small border city, arguing for independence, disregarding life, is really audacious."

"However, even if we don't rush to attack, Suoyang is so self-enclosed, the people in a city can't last long." Another lieutenant colonel said, "The storm cannot be delayed, otherwise it will only affect more civilians in the city. .”

Someone echoed: "Indeed. And the spring plowing season has already begun. The rebel bureaucrats in Suoyang may still be able to support one or two, but the farmers' fields can't wait. If the time is missed, the subsequent panic may be more difficult to end."

This tone is obviously the main attacker.The major who was the first to speak looked at him, then turned to ask the person in the main seat: "... Colonel?"

The colonel is a deep and serious middle-aged man, he seems to have ignored the discussion of the crowd for a while, just frowning and thinking.After everyone looked at him for a while, he slowly opened his mouth, but what he said was something else: "The chief minister of the temple who wrote the letter... is right."

Everyone looked stunned.

"Everyone here is my own, I believe, you have all seen it." The colonel glanced over everyone, and said, "He is thousands of miles away, but he 'knew' about Suoyang's situation earlier than us... ...What do you think about this?"

Everyone looked at each other for a while, and then a lieutenant colonel asked, "Is the ability he said in the letter... true?"

Wiggins' letter stated that he "meditated" and "saw" Soyan in the Ainuma Temple.Unfortunately, those who received the letter may not believe his fantasy rhetoric.His inexplicable "peeping" ability is not necessarily clear even to Saenz's subordinates, let alone the almost opposite Fujalal lineage.Even though the Second Highness Lailier personally tried it back then, and then Pesa Mentor Pavchenko negotiated under the guise of guidance, but because Wiggins' ability was not effective at all times, His Highness and others regarded it as " It’s just a little bit of fun.”Now that Wiggins suddenly "revealed himself", the Roses in the Southwestern Army did not so much question his ability as they suspected that Saenz wanted to stir up trouble in the battle of Suoyang.

Therefore, there is no need to answer the lieutenant colonel's question at all.

The colonel said: "Whether it's true or not, the important thing is what the Third Highness wants to do."

"...Using this to embarrass us? Or accuse the Southwest Army of 'disregarding human life'?"

"It's unlikely." The person next to him retorted, "How clean is he himself in the Northland? If he uses this matter to try to attack His Highness, the same reason will only make him suffer more."

Some people echoed, "And Suoyang is only a tiny place, no matter how many casualties there are, how can it be compared to Beidi?"

"So, this letter has no other purpose than trying to disturb our thinking, so we can just ignore it?"

Everyone was silent again.In their view, this letter will not have any practical impact on the Southwest Army, even for the Third Highness Saenz, it will have no more effect than adding trouble to himself.

Someone asked: "Did His Highness know the news? What does he think?"

"There is no movement at the other end of His Highness." The colonel paused, and then said, "There is only one thing... It is said that Wang Ting also received such a letter."

"...What?" The officers looked in disbelief, "Send a letter to Wang Ting? Does the Temple Chief expect... Wang Ting to suppress our actions? Is he crazy!"

"Who knows?" The colonel sneered, "It's just a clown."

A lieutenant colonel said: "Looking at it this way, it may not be the work of His Highness the Third Highness." Those who can compete with Fujalal must not be so dizzy.

"Whether he is or not, the left and right are just a few pieces of paper. It would be a big joke to reconsider our attack plan because of this thing." The colonel finally made the final decision, "The attack plan, proceed as usual!"

"Yes!"

"Gaia." The colonel named one of the majors, "Confirm the list of rebel generals again, and none of them will be left behind!"

The young major stood up and saluted: "Yes!"
