When Ke Lin and the others returned to the Loire Valley, they were immediately greeted warmly by the soldiers of the empire.
The Orc Emperor is dead!
The greatest haze hanging over the Glorious Empire finally dissipated, and all the soldiers of the empire breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, they also regarded Prince Lehi, who killed the orc emperor, as a hero.
Yes.
Even if Prince Lehi had not been cleared of the crime of murdering the consul of Lytom, the head of the orc emperor was enough for the people of the empire to forgive him for all his past.
He was also able to use this incomparably outstanding feat to return to the very center of the empire's political stage.
Colin could feel this change most clearly when he walked beside Prince Lexi.
The admiration and support of the imperial soldiers flocking around for Prince Lehi is unparalleled.
Although many people were also cheering Colin's name, more cheers were directed at Prince Lexi.
You know, Colin himself has just been the commander of the imperial coalition forces, leading this decisive battle that is enough to be recorded in history.
Even so, people still regard Prince Lehi as the greatest hero in this battle.
This is certainly due to the head of the orc emperor, but it has to be admitted that this is more the blessing of the San Lorenzo family's heritage and prestige
This was beyond the reach of Colin, the humble son of a country baron.
What's more, Prince Lehi is still a paladin.
No one is more suitable than him to become an idol, hero, or even a spiritual totem of the Glorious Empire. .
In fact, Ke Lin didn't care too much about these false names.
In fact, he has already taken advantage of enough in this battle.
On the political stage of the glorious empire after the war, he will undoubtedly occupy one of the most important positions.
The only thing he needs to worry about now is the unstable factor of Emperor Reinhardt.
Of course, Ke Lin would not regard the nobles of the empire as fools, and based on the huge difference before and after Emperor Reinhardt, even if they were really fools, they should be able to see the abnormality.
Emperor Reinhardt, the blood slave puppet, has been able to persist until now, which can be regarded as a consummation of merit.
In Ke Lin's plan, this hidden danger must be eliminated.
And there is only one way to eliminate it—death.
It's just that Colin is still planning to arrange the most suitable death method for Emperor Reinhardt according to the needs of the situation.
…
Back at the camp of the Chinese Army, Colin took over the command of the Imperial Coalition Army from the Duke of St. Landers and began to deal with the aftermath.
Prince Lehi found an attendant and asked:
"Where is Your Majesty?"
"His Majesty was seriously injured, fell into a coma, and is resting."
"Take me to see."
"But..." the attendant hesitated.
At this time, Consul Fred came over and said to Prince Lehi:
"His Royal Highness, please follow me."
Prince Leahy took a deep look at Consul Fred, and then followed.
The two came all the way to a luxurious tent.
Here are the royal guards, so naturally they will not stop Prince Leahy and Consul Fred.
Entering the tent, Prince Lehi looked at the pale Emperor Reinhard lying on the bed, and asked:
"How is Your Majesty?"
Consul Fred shook his head heavily, and said:
"The accompanying military doctor has seen it, and said that His Majesty was seriously injured. It is a miracle that he can sustain it until now, so his life is in danger at any time."
Prince Lexi only nodded indifferently when he heard the words, and did not show any worry.
He turned his head and said to Consul Fred:
"Have you noticed that His Majesty's temperament has changed drastically?"
Consul Fred immediately nodded and said:
"That's right, I also think that His Majesty is too weird now. It should be that after Storm Fortress, he seems to be a different person.
I guess, His Majesty must have been manipulated by some means. "
"What means? Manipulated by whom?"
"I don't know exactly what method was used. I'm afraid it's some kind of weird spell, or even a forbidden curse." Speaking of this, Consul Fred glanced at Prince Leahy, "It's like Mr. remains, perhaps of similar means..."
Prince Leahy knew that Consul Fred was suspicious of Mr. Xie, so he shook his head decisively and said:
"It's not the hands and feet of Mister Ji."
Consul Fred saw that Prince Leahy didn't seem to want to say more about the reason, and he couldn't force it, so he continued:
"If it's not Mr. Ji, then I think it's only possible that it's the North's manipulation."
"Northern..." A young and heroic face appeared in Prince Lexi's mind involuntarily.
"That's right!" Consul Fred suddenly became agitated, "Think about it carefully, the Battle of the Loire Valley was first proposed by the Marquis Garcia, and the implementer was Angelet, the guardian of the northern border. count.
More importantly, the Northern Territory has benefited the most from this battle, and even used His Majesty to make the Central Army pay the most painful price! "
Consul Fred became more and more excited as he spoke, and his face even became a little hideous because of it:
"After this battle, the northern border has reached its peak in terms of military strength and prestige and glory!
The Eastern Territory had already been ravaged by the Blood Cavalry Army before the war. The natural moat of the Nushui River was no longer a barrier to the Eastern Territory. The Northern Territory could invade the Eastern Territory again at any time as long as it wanted. No, it didn’t even need a military invasion. As long as Colin Angelet goes to Bailu City, he can support a puppet duke who is obedient to the north!
Moreover, if you look at the current Duke of St. Grian, it is obvious that he has hooked up with Colin Angelet. If Colin is allowed to lead the coalition forces to recover the western border, wouldn't that mean that the north, east, and west of the empire The three realms have become this person's arm!
In addition, the Central Army was disabled in this battle... Without the deterrence of the Central Army, how could the royal family suppress this ambitious guy? "
Consul Fred took a few breaths, calmed down his excitement, and said in a deep voice:
"So, Your Royal Highness, now only you can maintain the authority of the San Lorenzo family!"
There was no joy or anger on Prince Lexi's face, but he just asked a question that he didn't want to do:
"Fred, you kept yelling that I was the murderer of your father, why do you now regard me as the savior of the San Lorenzo family?"
Consul Fred chuckled and said frankly:
"Your Highness, of course I know that you are not the murderer, it is just the trap set by Reinhardt and Midella who want to expel you from Dragon City."
A stern look flashed in Prince Laixi's eyes: "Since you knew about it a long time ago, you still go with them?"
Consul Fred shrugged his shoulders: "Your Highness, even if I stood up and spoke for you, would anyone believe me? You can't cleanse yourself of this crime.
Of course, since you killed the orc emperor with your own hands, the previous crimes are not worth mentioning.
You are still a hero of the Radiant Empire today. "
Prince Lexi's eyes flickered, but he didn't dwell too much on this issue.
Because he also understood that unless he forced Emperor Reinhardt to admit it himself, or captured the culprit, Mr. Ji, the charge of murdering the Rector of Lytom would indeed not be cleared.
So, he spoke again:
"Well, tell me, how do you think I should deal with the current situation?"
Consul Fred immediately said:
"I think the most urgent task is to remove Colin Angelet's command of the Imperial Coalition Forces!"
