"Someone is trying to assassinate me!"
Emperor Otto pounded his desk and roared in rage.
Just half an hour ago, a soldier came to report that he had found a way to deal with the minefield. The emperor was very surprised and asked the Blade Warrior to invite him in.
As a result, as soon as the soldier entered the door, he suddenly took out a nail and stabbed the emperor. Fortunately, the nail only scratched the emperor's outer robe and was blocked by the dragon scale skin inside.
Emperor Otto, after all, is already a Lv.10 transcendent.
The soldier who attempted to assassinate the emperor was immediately subdued by the frightened Blade Warrior. Afterwards, it was discovered during interrogation that the soldier had stuffed tiny nails into his nostrils in order to assassinate the emperor, thus avoiding the Blade Warrior's body search and inspection.
"The motive for the assassination was that the soldier's brother was greedy for the bounty and was killed in a minefield." Blade Warrior reported to the emperor and the dukes.
"I don't believe it!" The emperor pressed his left hand on his stabbed left chest and his right hand on his temple, as if trying his best to suppress his anger. "The nail is also poisoned! Where did he get the poison and nails from when he was an ordinary soldier?"
"According to his confession, the nails were hidden by him when he was repairing the camp outside the town. The poison was pesticide bought from the residents of the town..."
"Useless! A bunch of useless!" The furious emperor threw the things on the table at him. "Investigate! Find out who is behind this! Oh, and ask His Excellency the Dragon of Imagination to dig out the assassin's brain for me!"
The Blade Warrior retreated, sweating. The dukes present looked at each other, and the eldest son of the Duke of Bohemia was the first to express his concern:
"Your Majesty, are you alright?"
The emperor waved his hands breathlessly, and the attendant beside him immediately said:
"Your Majesty is in good health, please rest assured. However, how to quickly eliminate the rebel forces in the army and how to deal with the current war dilemma are the key issues we need to discuss next."
This royal attendant is a young noble from the Saxon family. He is also the Emperor's nephew and is highly trusted by the Emperor.
Since the aide said so, everyone began to discuss countermeasures.
How to eliminate the rebellious forces in the military? Strict censorship, no more.
After all, judging from the clues that were laid out, this was just an extreme assassination attempt by a soldier who had lost his brother. There was no need to make a big deal out of it... Of course, this couldn't be said to the Emperor who was already furious, so everyone could only promise to go back and "examine it strictly."
As for how to break through the minefield, from the perspective of efficiency, of course it is fastest to seek cooperation with Venis.
But who should be sent? You have to know that due to the hanging of the governor, the lower classes of the people of Venice are very hostile to the empire, while the upper classes have an ambiguous attitude and try to delay.
Therefore, the diplomatic envoys sent this time need to have not only flexible diplomatic skills, but also extraordinary courage and the ability to protect themselves, so as to be able to take advantage of the chaos in the city-state of Venice and successfully complete the mission assigned by His Majesty.
"I have an idea." The Duke of Bavaria suddenly said, "Your Majesty, have you ever heard of the mercenary group called 'Blue Sword'?"
