Age of Mysticism - Chapter 474

Chapter 474 Takeover of the Northern Legion

The dining car and the No. 9 car were separated by Luke’s use of secret techniques in advance, so those abyss mages who entered the train were separated into three sections by these two cars. Now that the front section of the train has been cleared, the remaining monsters produced by secret techniques are not a threat.

Handing over the remaining abyss mages to Sandpaper and Kestrel to practice, Luke returned to the dining car.

Agatha smiled reassuringly when she saw Luke come back: “You have been away for so long, and the train slowed down again. I am still worried about your safety. Fortunately, Sandpaper and Kestrel just ran over, otherwise I would have brought someone to rescue you up.

Is it going well? ”

Sinclair looked at Luke, waiting for his answer.

Luke sat down, took a sip of the tea poured by the attendant, and said, “Overall, it went smoothly, but it took some time to weaken the third apostle Belga. I don’t have the strength of Qingkong to forcibly kill the abyss apostle. Can only use some means.

Now that Belgar is dead, we can go back after Sandpaper and Kestrel clear up the remaining abyss mages. ”

Agatha was very happy when she heard that the third apostle Belga had died: “The first apostle Victor left the Abyss Temple. Now there is only one apostle left in the Abyss Temple. The Celtic Duke must not dare to release him easily. In the future, the work of the Secret Service will be much easier.

The pressure on the Army of the North during reorganization will also be reduced. ”

Agatha said the last sentence to Sinclair, but Sinclair was full of thoughts.

Luke asked Sinclair: “Are you thinking about how this mutiny will end?”

Luke’s characterization of this incident as a mutiny is tantamount to showing the empire’s attitude towards the participants in this incident, which makes Sinclair’s mood even worse.

“Can you forgive Joshua and spare his life…”

Luke looked at Agatha, and felt that it was better for him to be the villain this time.

“I know that you have a deep relationship with Joshua, and everything he did was to make you the emperor of the empire. But doing something wrong is doing something wrong, and the empire has forgiven the crimes he committed before, But he has no intention of repenting.

This time, he even colluded with the enemies of the empire and assassinated the eldest princess of the empire. You should know him better than we do. If you spare him, he will plan the next assassination. ”

Sinclair, on the other hand, wanted to protect Joshuael wholeheartedly.

“I understand what you said. But after my mother passed away, Uncle Joshua took care of me longer than my father. He can be said to be my other father, the closest person I have in this world.

For him, I can give up my status as a member of the imperial family and no longer have the surname Augustine. ”

Luke didn’t expect Sinclair to give up his royal status in order to protect Joshuaer.

Luke waved his attendants back to avoid him, then cast a soundproof enchantment, and said to Sinclair: “Your announcement of giving up the right to inherit the throne is just an external announcement we use to stabilize the political situation. Her Royal Highness the throne Really never had any idea, even if the Queen of Jian Guo became the queen for the empire, the throne will eventually return to the hands of the Augustine family.

You, or your heirs, still have the right to inherit the throne!

If you give up the surname Augustine, it is tantamount to giving up the supreme throne. ”

Sinclair’s attitude was very firm: “All tragedies are caused by that throne. If I even give up the surname Augustine, Uncle Joshua will have no reason to do things that are not good for the empire. He is a very good General, a military strategist, even if he no longer commands the army, he is still a valuable asset of the empire.”

Sinclair took out his most precious thing in order to protect Joshuaer.

Luke felt that he, the villain, couldn’t do it. He said to Agatha, “This has become your family business. What’s your opinion?”

Agatha was also in a dilemma, she kicked the ball back to Luke: “Sinclair is my nephew, this status cannot be changed, but Joshua must also bear the due punishment for his crime.

Family affairs are also state affairs. You are the cabinet minister, so you will make the judgment. After we return to the imperial capital, we will hand it over to the cabinet for discussion. ”

Sinclair and Agatha watch Luke to see how he pleases both parties.

Luke said with a wry smile: “You guys will really give me a hard time. I can’t make a judgment now, so let’s make a decision after the interrogation of Joshua.

Your Highness Sinclair, I will respect your family relationship with General Joshua, but if I think he has to die, even if I make a public judgment to save his life, I will send someone to carry out the assassination.

Hope you understand. ”

Luke made a major concession, and Sinclair immediately said, “Of course, I can understand. But I have one request. I want to interrogate Joshua with you.”

“Can!”

Both sides compromise and take a step back, it depends on whether Joshua can grasp Sinclair’s desperate efforts to give up everything for him.

At this time, the train stopped completely, and Sandpaper and Kestrel also completed their tasks and returned to the dining car.

The space secret technique was lifted by the person who lost its support, the darkness outside the car window was lit up, and then the fortress illuminated by the light appeared.

The imperial spies who were in a panic outside rushed into the train immediately. After taking full control of all the cars, the inspector brought his subordinate agents to the dining car to apologize to the princess and the Marquis of Meteor.

Besides the train, soldiers from the Northern Legion surrounded them. No one spoke, and everyone watched the train quietly, not knowing what was going on inside.

The train train of the condolence group disappeared in full view, which was obviously a space-type attack, and the spies surrounding the train shouted loudly, “There are assassins!”

In the train, there is the eldest princess of the empire, and the governor of Raging City, the Marquis of Meteor. I heard that His Royal Highness Sinclair is also on it. They can be said to be the most powerful people in the empire.

Nearly two hours have passed since the train disappeared and reappeared.

Is there anyone alive in the train?

If the eldest princess of the empire, the governor of Raging Waves City, and His Royal Highness Sinclair are all dead, they will die in the main garrison of the Northern Legion.

What will become of the empire?

What is the end waiting for me?

The officers who initiated the mutiny were also waiting for the message from the train.

Has the Abyss Temple succeeded?

General Joshua, who was standing on the height of the fortress, looked at the quiet train with complicated emotions.

What’s the situation inside now? Is Sinclair safe?

Without letting the people outside wait too long, a group of imperial agents stepped down from the train. They spread out to both sides, forming two cordons.

Then Sinclair walked out of the car.

He stood still and said loudly: “All the sergeants of the Northern Legion obey the order! General Joshuall was dismissed from all positions in the Legion, and I, Sinclair Augustine, will serve as the temporary head of the Northern Legion.

Now! Except for those on duty who have military affairs, all officers and your soldiers return to their barracks immediately, and you are not allowed to go out without my order.

If you violate the order, you will be punished by military law!

Do it now! ”

Sinclair’s order made most of the sergeants of the Northern Legion realize that the assassination of the Princess of the Empire and the Marquis of Meteor was related to General Joshua.

Now that Sinclair dismissed Joshuar as head of the Northern Legion, although it was procedurally wrong, the morale of the army was long gone. The Northern Legion immediately split into two groups. Most of the officers shouted orders to take their soldiers back to the barracks to wait for the results, while a small number of officers stayed in place with a group of soldiers.

They already knew the assassination failed.

The charge of assassinating the eldest princess of the empire and the Marquis of Meteor is enough to chop off their heads.

Desperate!

It was the idea of ​​these officers, but not only the imperial spies, but also His Royal Highness Sinclair stood in the way of the train.

The officers all looked at Joshul on the high place, waiting for his order.

Sinclair stood outside the door of the carriage, preventing these officers from leading troops to storm the train.

After all the officers and soldiers who listened to the order left, Sinclair shouted to the rest: “Some of you don’t even know what happened, and your loyalty to General Joshuall will only be based on his crimes.” Add more crimes.

It’s over, everything is over, I don’t want any sergeant of the Northern Legion to die innocently for this farce.

Please let me solve the rest, and please believe me! ”

Sinclair’s words made some officers shake. They really didn’t know what happened, and they stayed only out of loyalty to Joshua.

A commotion ensues among the standoff sergeants, but no one leaves.

An officer shouted to Sinclair: “Your Highness Sinclair, we only obey the orders of the commander of Joshua’s army!”

Sinclair knew that his prestige could not overwhelm these sergeants, so he shouted to Joshua on the high platform: “Uncle Joshua! Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Marquis of Meteor are safe and sound, and all assassins are killed. You have committed a crime.” An unforgivable crime, do you still want to drag so many loyal soldiers to die together?”

Joscher on the high platform looked at Sinclair in front of the train, he didn’t expect the Abyss Temple to fail. Agatha and Meteor are alive, representing the death of Belgar, the third apostle.

Now most of the soldiers of the Northern Legion have been psychologically disintegrated by the consolation of the empire, waiting to accept the reorganization of the empire. Even if the remaining people rebel, it is difficult to cause a big storm.

And why rebel?

Sinclair all stood up against himself.

Joscher was silent for a while and said: “I resign from all positions in the Northern Legion, and the post of regiment commander will be handed over to Sinclair. You all obey the orders of the new regiment commander and go back to the barracks to wait for new instructions.”

After giving the last order, Joshua turned around and walked into the room.

After looking at each other, the gathered sergeants left dejectedly one by one.

Soon, the huge fortress square was empty.

Sinclair couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. The Northern Army was saved, and the rest was…

Sinclair asked the imperial spies to leave the protection train, and he walked towards the gate of the fortress by himself. On the way, he ordered a few soldiers on duty and led them to arrest Joshua.

In the carriage, Agatha looked at the empty fortress square outside, and said to Luke: “It seems that Sinclair not only wants to protect General Joshua this time, but also wants to protect all the officers involved in this incident.”

Luke said: “Since we are going to make concessions to General Joshua, we might as well make more concessions. Improving Sinclair’s prestige will help the smooth transfer of command of the Northern Army.

You have no opinion, do you? ”

“No! You, who are about to become the chief assistant of the empire, can treat others generously. As the eldest princess of the empire, I am not a narrow-minded person. If I pursue it blindly, I am afraid that the entire legion will be implicated. The northern legion is the important weapon of the empire. Besides They are only against us this time, and their hearts are still loyal to the empire.”

Luke said: “If you think about it this way, I will know how to deal with this incident. Now Sinclair should control Joshuaer. I will talk to him. Do you want to go together?”

Agatha smiled: “No! The Princess of the Empire and the Marquis of Meteor are interrogating together, which is too flattering to Joshua. You can go on my behalf, and I will wait for your results here.”

“Why do I think you’re just lazy…” Luke stood up and said with a smile, “You just wait here, I’ll go see if General Joshua is unrepentant.”

Luke got out of the car with a team of imperial agents and entered the fortress without any hindrance.

Arriving at the room of the army chief, Sinclair led the soldiers to guard outside.

Sinclair looked at the closed door, and said to Luke: “Please rest assured, I didn’t say anything to General Joshua, please give him a chance.”

Sinclair said that he did not collude with Joshuaer. He knew that lies could not deceive Meteor, so he might as well treat each other with sincerity and let Meteor forgive him.

“The opportunity has been given, it depends on General Joshua’s own wishes.” Luke asked the accompanying spies to stay outside, then opened the door and walked into the room.

Sinclair went in together and closed the door.

A light on the ceiling illuminates the room. General Joshua is sitting calmly behind his desk, looking at Luke and Sinclair who came in without emotion.

Luke didn’t interrogate Joshua first, he walked to the desk, which was still covered with assassination plans. Luke sat down on the other side of the desk. He stretched out his finger to point on the blueprint, and pulled it to him for a closer look.

Sinclair walked to the corner and stood still.

“The plan is very thorough!” Luke praised after reading the assassination plan map: “Our reaction is all in your calculations, and all the spies guarding outside the train were almost mobilized by you according to these routes, so as to draw the attention of the abyss mage. There is a gap where secret techniques can be arranged calmly.

Like the wars you have commanded before, it can be called the art of war. ”

Luke’s praise was very harsh in Joshua’s ears. He said: “A failed operation, no matter how smooth it is at the beginning, is useless. You win, I lose, this is the result, there is no need to complain What am I showing off?”

Luke said: “Your failure should be attributed to the fact that you found an unreliable ally. The Temple of the Abyss is not a military unit at all, without the execution and resilience of an excellent army. When they launched an attack, I casually They counterattacked, and they lost their positions. From the beginning to the end, they didn’t launch a decent attack, and they were defeated one by one by my men.

What’s even more ridiculous is that Belga got into such an obvious trap without hesitation.

If you implement it, it may be another situation. ”

Joscher couldn’t help but smiled wryly: “You’re right, the Abyss Temple is not a military unit. I have fought against the Abyss Temple many times, and know that they are a group of lunatics who have no tactical mind at all.

From the time I decided to cooperate with the Abyss Temple to carry out this assassination, the final failure was determined! ”
