The first time Xiao Chen saw the brothers Franco and Gram face to face was in the stronghold above the Nameless Valley Road.
It was already dawn, and the one-sided slaughter in the valley had ended an hour ago. Franco and Gram were both covered in blood, not only from the enemies they had killed, but also from the many wounds on their bodies. After they killed the emperor, they also fought with the surrounding Black Guards who wanted to kill them to avenge the emperor. In this battle, the Black Guards loyal to the emperor showed a spirit of fearlessness in the face of death. Although their realms were not as good as those of the brothers Franco and Gram, they had basically used up all the elite family members they brought with them, and they also seriously injured the brothers.
However, Xiao Chen was also busy all night and only had the opportunity to meet them now.
Xiao Chen was actually outside the valley a few hours ago. He certainly would not put the task of destroying the enemy's manpower entirely on Luo Ling and Mao Kai. In fact, the great wizard team he led had already hidden their bodies and followed the imperials. Behind them were the tireless spirit servants and ghost warriors.
When the magic flames rose in the valley, they did not hesitate to attack the imperial army from behind. Since the Franco brothers in the front had shouted the news of "the emperor is dead" long ago, fear quickly spread among the imperial army. The imperial army collapsed quickly under the multiple blows of morale, terrain and combat effectiveness. Of course, some imperial warriors chose to fight to the end, but these people only slightly delayed the time of failure. When the group led by Chang Yujie caught up, they saw imperial warriors fleeing all over the mountains.
It took Xiao Chen and his men less than an hour to defeat the imperial army, but it took a whole night to chase and capture the fleeing imperial soldiers.
The pursuit and capture operations outside are still going on, but Xiao Chen, as the acting chairman of the Tower of China, must deal with the battlefield uprising of the Franco and Gram brothers. He specially transferred Duke Weber from Heimuguan to meet with the Franco brothers.
The hall of the outpost on the top of the mountain was a bit small, and it was a bit crowded with more than a dozen people gathered inside.
"Greetings to Chairman Xiao Chen, Saint Liu Yisheng, other gentlemen, and father." Franco and Gram saluted respectfully to Xiao Chen and the others. However, they had just killed the king, and their spirits were still in a very excited state. Xiao Chen could clearly feel the agitation of their mental power.
"Mr. Franco, Mr. Gram, I didn't expect that because of your father's letter, we would meet again in our current capacity so soon." Xiao Chen said, "But don't you need to treat your injuries first?"
Gram said: "Chairman Xiao, please don't worry about our injuries. The most important thing now is how to take advantage of the fact that the emperor is dead."
Franco raised a ring in his hand and said, "Yes, the tyrant Alfred is dead in our hands now. He is in this storage ring. Do you want to verify his identity now?"
"Okay." Xiao Chen replied briefly. He knew that Liu Yisheng and Luo Ling had seen how Emperor Alfred died, but in the magic world, there were too many things that could deceive the senses. Even he himself could use the meditation world to forge realistic scenes. Therefore, it was necessary to confirm the identity of the emperor. Whether the emperor was dead or not was related to a series of actions in the Tower of China.
Luo Ling said, "Let's go outside to the yard. I saw that he died miserably. It's better not to stay in the room."
Franco walked a few steps to the door, released the headless body of Emperor Alfred, and placed the half head that had been torn off beside him. A bloody smell hit him in the face. Even though the people present had seen all kinds of grand scenes, seeing the emperor who ruled an empire lying there like a puddle of mud made them feel a little sad.
Even Franco himself was stunned for a moment, and the excitement, excitement and a bit of arrogance in his emotions just now subsided.
Duke Weber walked over and sighed softly, "Your Majesty..."
Luo Ling waved her hand lightly, and a human figure appeared beside her. Under the astonished gaze of Weber and his son, it slowly turned into the appearance of the Black Guard leader, Morlet. Since the existence of the spirit servants consumes the host's mental energy, the overall situation of the battle was decided before, and they all returned to the meditation world of their respective hosts. Morlet was summoned again and said calmly, "Mr. Luo Ling, Chairman Xiao, colleagues... and Duke Weber, Franco and Gram. Are you summoning me here to confirm the identity of this body?"
"Yes." Luo Ling said.
Mollet walked towards the emperor's body lying on the ground, picked up the half head regardless of the blood, and used his hands to brush away the emperor's hair that was soaked in blood and stuck to his face.
The emperor's face had no chin, his forehead and cheekbones were broken, his eyes were like two bulging blood bubbles, and he was no longer handsome. But Moret still recognized the man he had been serving. Even though he was scolded by him, abandoned by him, and finally switched sides, he still couldn't help but shed tears.
"Yes, this is him, His Majesty Emperor Alfred, the ruler of the Purple Eagle Empire." Mollett looked up at Gram, "I didn't expect that my words would really lead to such a result."
Gram opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word, and finally turned his head away.
Xiao Chen said: "Since his identity has been confirmed, let's keep him. Whether we return him to the empire or let us deal with him, that will be a matter for later."
"Now I want to know the reasons why Franco and Gram rebelled on the battlefield. After all, you have always been noble ministers of the empire, and you were still fighting with us during the day. And what do you want to get from the Tower of China through this uprising?" Xiao Chen asked very directly.
"Emperor Alfred is a very young monarch. Maybe his problems have not been exposed before, but this war has exposed the terrible part of his character. Because of a series of failures before, he no longer trusts my father, us, and our entire family. My father was thrown off the roof by him before, and Gram was almost thrown into jail by him after the failure of the previous city gate battle. After this war, our family is in danger. We can't let the final fate be in his hands." Franco said: "We both received a letter from our father after he was captured by you. Let us surrender to the Tower of China. But after discussing with my brother, I feel that surrender is not a good idea. We should be able to do more!" (To be continued)
