"Because he is ready to be a 'lord'."
Mozo's sudden "attack" made Verdani blush instantly, but she did not dodge but stood there and nodded slightly, letting Mozo take over.
Audrey said with some jealousy:
"But his behavior is not at all like that of a hero."
"It does seem to be the case now, but what if he subsequently annexes Loran and even the entire Northern Business Alliance?"
This one sentence made the two girls freeze in place for a moment.
If Emperor Heather could really do this, then no matter how despicable his actions today were, they would be considered a necessary choice for his great talent. Those High-Sequences who were loyal to Heather would not become disloyal but would turn a blind eye and become even more cautious.
Because their emperor is iron-blooded and great.
But can this really be done
Not to mention the Loran Empire, which is stronger than Heather, the Northern Commercial Alliance alone is not easy to deal with!
Otherwise, the Hesir people would not have caused the eastern nobles to be divided until now.
Mozo smiled and said:
"You think it's incredible, right? Actually, it's not surprising, because he now believes that he is unrivaled in the surrounding countries. You know, the emperor of Heather is recognized as extremely capable, and his previous series of policies and tactics are impeccable and outstanding. These are all the capital of his pride."
"Of course, this alone is not enough to explain why his current actions are too cruel and 'stupid'. So the most important thing is that he defeated the Wolf Family! He had always been working hard before, but after defeating the Wolf Family, he began to think that his time had come."
"So his actions started to become more aggressive and ostentatious. He wanted to recover the scattered rights of the empire as soon as possible, so as to lay a solid foundation for his expansion plan in advance!"
He knew that he could not become an angel or even a demigod, so he had not much time left. Also, knowing that his two opponents were very powerful, he was extremely impatient with time.
Audrey was amazed:
"That's not to say I look down on you, but is the Wolf family really that important in the eyes of the Heather people?"
Verdani wanted to puff out her chest and say yes, but she was not very confident about it, because she believed that the young master had the weight, but she also felt that the young master's current performance was not enough for Emperor Heather to value him so much.
Mozo smiled and said:
"Because the Wolf family has always been a shadow over Heather. They are the opponents that the emperor wants to defeat day and night. This is the tone that was set during the Cromwell period."
After saying this, Mozo also added in his heart that of course the most important thing was that he believed he had killed Cromwell.
The extermination of the Wolf Family was not an outrageous victory for Emperor Heather, nor was it worth paying such a huge price. It was just that they killed Cromwell instead of Mozo.
Defeating the shadow that had been haunting him since he ascended the throne should have greatly boosted Emperor Heather's self-confidence, making him begin to become conceited and radical.
He was too young and too successful, so he wanted to achieve great success before he died of old age.
And apart from Cromwell who really hurt him, he probably didn't think that he, who had always been successful, would lose to anyone.
And Mozo also gave another important explanation:
"Also, after the Eastern nobles became independent due to a letter, His Majesty the Emperor should no longer trust these powerful nobles."
"Before, he had to rely on them. Now that the enemy is gone and the great cause is about to come, he has a limited life span and is beginning to get impatient."
Mozo had seen many such examples after the Age of Gods.
Mortals who cannot achieve immortality but possess great power will inevitably feel inferior, angry, and anxious when looking at those high-ranking immortals.
Then they will be eager to do something to prove that they are far better than the immortals.
Therefore, the unprecedented achievement of expanding territory is a very good choice.
Mozo had thought that Emperor Heather would be so thorough, but he also sincerely hoped that the other party would not be so cruel and ruthless.
pity.
After lowering his head and sighing, Mozo perked up and said to the two girls:
"Come on, let's go meet that little Lord Douglas."
Audrey still cringed a little:
"Don't you really need to think about it? Mozo, you killed that angel. Will the Douglas family really not fight to the death with you?"
The Douglas family seems to be in trouble, but in their main city, it should be no problem for them to eat up the three little shrimps, right
Mozo smiled and touched Audrey's head.
"Don't worry. It was true before, but now what they hate most is not me, their enemy."
Meanwhile, Mozo hadn't said another word.
Without purifying the white scales, the mere presence of the dead Cromwell in front of young Lord Douglas would probably be enough to prevent the other party from having any thoughts of "resistance".
Prince Douglas should let his son know that he is going to kill the old Wolf Lord, right
Forget it, it doesn’t matter if you don’t know. At this moment, it doesn’t matter whether the Douglas family meets the Young Wolf Lord or the Old Wolf Lord.
Audrey felt relieved by this comfort, but she still asked:
"But how are we going to meet that little Douglas?"
This time it was Verdani who answered Audrey:
"The Hesser people can openly place their spies in various countries, so we can do the same."
Everyone knows that there are other people's spies in their own country, and since it is impossible to prevent it, it all depends on their own abilities and how they respond.
Just don’t be as outrageous as that joke empire where even the emperor was a spy.
-
What happened next was Verdani's personal time. She first took Mozo and Audrey to travel through the streets and alleys of Deerhorn Castle, and then left or checked various secret codes that Audrey could never imagine in various secret places.
When it was afternoon, three people who were looking for tea in the commercial street outside the main city of Lujiao Castle were met by a tall knight.
That is the guardian knight of young Lord Douglas.
The guardian knight of the Douglas family patriarch is naturally not Roland's spy, but he is willing to introduce him to Mozo and others.
Spies don’t necessarily have to reach high positions themselves; finding the right person to act as a middleman is also a compulsory task for them!
The other party looked at Mozo and the other two and hesitated for a while before sighing:
"I hope my choice is not wrong. Please come with me, envoys of Loran."
Under the guidance of this knight, Mozo and his companions finally entered the Douglas' main castle smoothly. In the empty hall, they saw little Lord Douglas slumped on the throne. There was another knight standing beside him.
As soon as he saw young Lord Douglas, the knight who brought Mozo and the others in knelt on the ground with a look of shame on his face.
Little Lord Douglas waved his hand and said:
"That's not necessary, Tang En. I believe you have no ill intentions. You have saved me more than once."
After saying this, he looked at Mozo and the other two with a melancholy face and said:
"Please go back, Loran's envoys. The Douglas family can't stand it any longer."
Looking at the other person who was obviously middle-aged but had already gray hair, Mo Zuo stood there for a moment and then took a few steps forward.
Such an action instantly aroused the vigilance of the Douglas knights. Whether it was the knight beside the throne or Tang En who was kneeling on the ground, they all drew their swords at the same time and pointed them at Mozo.
Seeing this, Verdani immediately drew out her sword.
Then the monarchs of both sides raised their hands tacitly to stop their knights from taking further actions.
But even so, the knights still stood in front of their monarch with swords raised.
After all, the two sides are nominal enemies, and mortal enemies.
After all, the Douglas family fell into decline because of Loran.
Mozo stood beside Verdani, looking at the emaciated little Lord Douglas on the throne and said:
"I believe that the vassals of the Douglas family are still willing to be loyal to the Lord of the Douglas family."
After hearing this, Lord Douglas couldn't help but sneered:
"They are loyal to the angels and the powers that be, not Douglas!"
As he said this, he leaned back on the throne and raised his hands exaggeratedly, saying:
"Even if I summon them now, what will happen? They may come, but if I dare to say a word of opposition, some of them will definitely turn around and sell us out to the emperor! As for loyalty? Vassals are not knights!"
His exaggerated hands were immediately unable to be put down, and little Lord Douglas finally revealed all his feelings in front of Mozo, an outsider:
"And even if they still obey me, so what? The Douglas family today is nothing compared to Heather! We have no capital to resist."
Upon hearing this, Mozo immediately lowered his head and laughed out loud.
This made young Lord Douglas stand up in great annoyance. He took Knight Tang En's sword and pointed it at Mozo, scolding him:
"What are you laughing at? Do you think I dare not kill you?"
In response to Lord Douglas Jr.'s threats, all Mozzo did was take off his hood.
He stood at the bottom of the stairs, restrained his smile, looked straight at the other person and said:
"Please call your vassals and leave the rest to me!"
140 Since you are unkind, I will be unjust (3k)
With a clang, the sword in the hand of Lord Douglas fell to the ground. After stumbling two steps, he fell back onto his throne. Seeing Mozo take off his hood, even the two guardian knights beside him began to breathe faster.
Little Lord Douglas slumped on the throne in fear, pointed at Mozo with a trembling hand and said tremblingly:
"You, you, you."
Why was he still alive? Was the Douglas family's devotion a joke
Mozo took off his hood and stood there with his hands clasped together, waiting for young Lord Douglas to digest this terrifying fact.
After a long while, Lord Douglas finally calmed down his fear and asked in disbelief and unwillingness to accept:
"Why, you're not dead?"
After saying this, his eyes became more and more terrified as he realized:
"You did it on purpose?! You deliberately led my father and the Prime Minister away?! You wanted them to die..."
Finally, he lowered his head and said tremblingly:
"And what got us to this point today?"
"You planned this from the beginning?!"
Little Lord Douglas, who had reacted, almost roared at Mozo.
The two guardian knights also began to move forward slowly. As long as their master gave the order, they would take action immediately.
They firmly believed that this was the Douglas family's main city and the other party could not turn the tables!
Regarding the tense atmosphere, Mozo seemed unaware and said:
"I set up the trap, but please understand that we are enemies, and enemies will naturally try their best to defeat each other. And most importantly, I have no way to interfere with your emperor. All of this is his own choice and true expression."
The two knights who had followed Prince Douglas for many years immediately shouted angrily:
"Shut up, you vile, vicious wolf cub!"
"If it weren't for you, how could our old master die in a foreign country, and how could our Douglas family end up like this today?"
Mozo looked at them and said seriously:
"It is my duty to defeat the enemy, but it is not me who should make my country's heroes shed blood and tears."
The two knights were so breathless when they heard this. They wanted to say something in rebuttal, but the experience of the Douglas family and the emperor's cruelty made them unable to utter a word.
They even agreed with Mozo's remarks, because they were enemies after all, and they should use all means to defeat their enemies!
This is the greatest respect for an enemy.
However, agreeing with the speech and accepting the reality are two different things, and they are very conflicted at the moment.
On the one hand, the culprit who killed the old master is here, and on the other hand, the other party may very well be the Douglas family's last hope.
In the end, they could only turn their eyes to the head of the family, Lord Douglas.
Facing his knight's questioning, young Lord Douglas could not stop swallowing his saliva and rubbing his fists. On his throne, his body began to toss and turn uncontrollably.
He knew that today's decision would probably be the biggest gamble of his life.
Logically, he really wanted to kill Mozo because he was the culprit who designed the ambush and murder of his father.
