Originally, Igor was captured in order to find out why he could be resurrected.
The second is to allow Igor to testify against Alanric.
As long as Igor can testify against Prince, everything can be solved.
Granlon and Forster cannot do this because they are rebellious and cannot fight this kind of lawsuit. No one will believe what they say.
But if Li Ang and Godric make the accusation, and Igor testifies, it will be easy to handle.
Granlon and Forster can also return to the Lionheart Kingdom through regular channels - they only need to blame everything on Alanric and prove that everything was ordered by Prince. Everything they did was just following orders, and of course they are not guilty.
In fact, this is also the truth. Most of the trouble was caused by Alanric.
The kingdom has just experienced so much consumption and great loss of strength. King Ulrich will definitely make the right decision at this time - Godric has also seen that the king is very sober now.
As for Li Ang, he took back Long River Town alone, and also helped King Ulrich solve Alanric's conspiracy. This kind of wholehearted consideration for the kingdom can make the king no longer have any reason to hinder him.
Therefore, Li Ang can truly become the master of Long River Town and even the entire eastern region, and there is no need to worry about privately forming an alliance with the Noldor.
The lord is taking the initiative to solve the most troublesome problem for the king, and the hidden dangers in the country can be swept away. If Ulrich still deals with Li Ang under such circumstances, it will be a proper act of a coward. Then Li Ang and Godric can completely rise up and call for rebellion.
You must know that even if Li Ang's own Pandor royal status is not taken into account, just Amy's mother, including Amy himself, belongs to the direct royal bloodline of the Lionheart Kingdom, and can be supported by Queen - this is probably the reason why King Ulrich has always been so wary of Godric.
If you want Igor to come forward as a witness, you must at least convince him so that Igor can speak eloquently to the king.
Originally there were many ways to convince Igor, such as the simplest physical means, or a relatively complicated exchange of interests - as long as you catch him, everything will be easy.
But now Igor is like this, unable to communicate at all, and this plan was forced to abort.
Li Ang originally believed that it was Alanric Prince's request that Dusk Knight Order's people want to kill Igor and silence them.
If nothing else, this Prince should have been deprived of all military power, so he will seek to cooperate with Dusk Knight Order to get enough manpower.
Alanric probably also wanted to prevent Igor, who knew all his plans, from falling into the hands of others.
But if Alanric knew that Igor had the ability to turn into a fool after being caught, why would he need to be silenced?
In other words, Alanric did not know that Igor would become like this.
It was probably not Prince who resurrected Igor. Alanric was not the leader of the heresy, and most likely was not even the mastermind of this matter.
So who did this?
If the person who resurrected Igor is not Alanric, then is this Igor really serving Alanric?
In other words, is this really Igor?
Li Ang suddenly remembered the unlucky drunk and the human skin he had met in Lion City...
It's not just women who can have plastic surgery, right?
When the lord thought of this, he suddenly took action and started tearing Igor's face apart just like he was tearing off Misfortune Bringer's face.
Granlon and Forster stared at Li Ang's movements in stunned silence, and then their mouths gradually opened into an O shape.
Igor's face was pulled crooked - not only was it crooked, but the skin on the entire head was almost pulled out.
The aristocratic collar flower around his neck is not to cover the arrow wounds.
It is to cover the entire connection between the skin on the head and the body!
This so-called Igor is just a layer of skin covering the head.
This is a body with a changed skin. This skin is indeed that of Igor, but this person is not Igor himself - this so-called resurrection from the dead is actually a fake!
"Sure enough... it's still Three Prophets!"
This kind of skin transplant surgery, which is so fake that it looks real, was of course performed by Three Prophets.
It is Three Prophets who is cooperating with Dusk Knight Order, not Alanric.
The order to silence him did not come from Alanric, but from Three Prophets.
They mainly don't want people to see that this Igor is a fake - if this fake Igor is hacked to death, no one will bother to look at the skin on a dead person's face.
"Isn't this Igor? We were deceived?"
Granlon's face fell.
"He does have a letter from Alanric Prince on him, stamped with Prince's private seal... But the letter only asked us to go to Lion City to hand over the gold seal to Alanric Prince, and didn't mention anything else - it seems that the immunity agreement is probably a lie..."
Forster has already searched the body of 'Igor', took a small parchment scroll and looked at it again, with a somewhat depressed expression.
"There is no such thing as a pardon in the first place... The reason he came here should be to ask you to give him the king's seal first - otherwise, if he doesn't have the king's seal in his hand, he would not be able to publicly issue a pardon at Lion City! After all, the exoneration agreement granted in private means nothing to you, because you could have forged it... He just wanted to defraud the king's seal! He deceived both ends! He deceived both Prince and you guys!"
Li Ang suddenly understood and stood up.
This fake Igor is using the identity of Alanric Prince to work for Three Prophets!
Granlon has the King's Seal in his hand, but even if he gets a blank exoneration document, he cannot stamp it himself - the crime he committed was originally the unauthorized use of the King's Seal. How can he obtain exoneration by repeating the crime?
All nobles would not approve of this kind of operation.
The correct approach is to first give the king's gold seal to Prince, and if Granlon and the others can capture the king, then let their men detain the king in Long River Town, and they can get Lion City themselves.
And Alanric Prince needs to sign an absolution letter with the king's seal on Noble Council in front of many people, saying that all this is a misunderstanding, so that the two men can be completely exonerated.
For example, when Granlon defrauded Long River Town, it can be said that he led troops to protect Long River Town under the king's order--Prince can be said to be the king's golden seal. It was King Ulrich who gave it to Granlon for temporary custody before he fell ill. It was just that King Ulrich had been ill for too long and forgot about it, so he misunderstood Granlon.
In this case, Granlon is of course innocent.
And Forster can also say that his allegiance to Ursula is actually the king's order to protect the northern territory of the kingdom - in fact Forster did lead troops to fight Raven Kingdom, which is convincing.
Then he blamed Milgan for the murder of his parents, and swore allegiance to Alanric Prince again in public.
Anyway, his Lion Lake City has been taken back by the kingdom. If Ulrich is caught by them, everything can be pinned on the king, and Alanric Prince will be happy to do so.
Because these scapegoats will not make King Ulrich lose his reputation or life, they will just make King Ulrich appear a little confused after getting sick - which will just make Alanric's succession to the throne a logical one.
In this way, regardless of whether others believe it or not, their charges can indeed be completely cleared, and they will not lose their noble status.
But the premise is that the seal must be handed over to Alanric first, and the two of them must appear at Lion City, showing the aggrieved look of being wronged - only in this way can it be convincing, otherwise it will be a kidnapping case.
Alanric Prince This letter should indeed be genuine, but Alanric probably does not want to overturn the case for these two people - this fake The guy from Igor must have used Granlon and Forster as chips to deceive Alanric, and also got some benefits from Alanric.
Therefore, Alanric's letter did not mention anything about immunity - this was a double-crossing scam, and Alanric must have paid a lot of money to get the gold seal back...
"In other words, this fake Igor actually used your story to deceive Prince, then used Prince's letter to gain your trust, and then tricked you into giving him the King's Seal."
The lord stood up and smiled, "This is indeed in line with Three Prophets's operation method. This is probably what they did when they let those Misfortune Bringer deceive men..."
"Then... what should we do now? Since he is fake... then we have no hope!"
Granlon has started to pull his hair, looking like he is getting angry.
"There is actually no difference. Since we have captured this heretic alive... in my opinion, this matter is much easier to handle than Alanric. It's a pity that we can't bring down that Prince."
Li Ang is more relaxed. As long as we know the cause of the matter, everything can be solved.
"No, I mean... what if the king is also controlled by heretics..."
Granlon looked nervously at the fake pretending to be Igor.
"It's impossible. If they can pretend to be King Ulrich, then why do they go to all the trouble to deceive you? They use real human skin, and King Ulrich is not that easy to deal with... I think you can really get rid of the crime completely this time, and do it in the most formal and reasonable way."
Li Ang doesn't think that Ulrich will be completely controlled or counterfeited by heretics. After all, Three Prophets couldn't even fake Prince, they just pretended to be a dead Igor to deceive both parties - obviously, they are not as scary as they imagined.
"But this Igor is a fake heretic and cannot be testified..."
Forster said halfway, and then reacted suddenly. "Yes, since everything was done by Three Prophets, there is no need to find any witnesses at all. This fake Igor itself is already evidence!"
"That's right. It is said that Three Prophets's lair is near Misty Marsh Fortress. You go and destroy their lair, and then 'find the king's seal' from Three Prophets's lair. Forster, you can also say everything is a heresy's deception, and all the dead people in your family are heretics... Just blame everything on Three Prophets, I can testify for you."
Li Ang, adhering to the purpose of uniting all forces that can be united, pointed out a way for them to make it easier to reverse the verdict.
"Lord Li Ang, you have actually obtained Long River Town, and we are already your prisoners, but you are still willing to help us like this. Why?"
Granlon noticed Li Ang's kindness, but was a little confused.
"Because at least you have not done anything evil, and you have actually resisted the enemy for the kingdom - whether actively or passively, but you did block the Crow Army at Eagle Claw Fortress, preventing the war from spreading further..."
The lord said it quite noblely, as if he was serving the country and the people.
"Huh...Lord Li Ang, based on my understanding of you, this doesn't sound like the main reason..."
Forster shook his head, he seemed a little more relaxed now that he had found a solution to get out of guilt.
But he had dealt with Li Ang a lot, and he knew very well that he would probably be blackmailed by Li Ang - he and Granlon were both prisoners of Li Ang, and they needed Li Ang to testify for them. If he hadn't been blackmailed, he wouldn't have been able to justify it.
But based on Forster's understanding of Li Ang, he felt that Li Ang probably wouldn't make any excessive demands.
"Of course... the main reason is that you have all lost your territory now, and I think you can be loyal to me temporarily. For the sake of our mutual trust, I hope you will write a confession based on the truth. I will keep your confession, and I will always believe you, and I will definitely testify for you wholeheartedly. Not only will I keep you safe, but I will also give you a place to stay..."
Li Ang turned around and walked to the table, spread out two pieces of parchment from the table, and made a 'please' gesture.
Forster and Granlon looked at each other, sighed, sat down at the table together and picked up their pens.
People have to bow their heads under the eaves, and Li Ang is indeed helping them, so they have nothing to struggle with.
They also know that Li Ang only keeps their leverage in hand to blackmail them into doing things for Li Ang. This is already very tolerant of them.
The next day, Forster and Granlon rushed to the northwest with their respective teams, and also brought the Lord's letter to Baron Heriwold.
Three Prophets's lair is no longer a secret, it is in the largest swamp near Misty Marsh Fortress.
Due to the relationship between Count Oden, Baron Heriwold and Li Ang can barely be called friends. The old man's fiefdom is Mysterious Swamp Castle.
Li Ang's letter hoped that Baron Heriwold would cooperate with the two men's troops to exterminate Three Prophets, and serve as a witness to prove that the two men had "found the king's seal from Three Prophets's lair."
After sending the two people away, Li Ang and Godric sent official documents to Lion City respectively, indicating that Long River Town had been recovered.
But Li Ang did not stay here. He led his troops directly back to White Deer Fortress, while Godric led his guards to guard Long River Town.
Because before the king's decree comes down, Long River Town still does not belong to Li Ang. Godric belongs to Commander of Eastern Military Affairs, and this place should still be temporarily managed by him.
If Li Ang conquers Long River Town and just stays here and refuses to leave, it would be claiming credit and asking for reward, or asking for reward, which could easily arouse King Ulrich's rebellious mood.
The lord will never make such a principled mistake, and the attitude should be adequate.
White Deer Fortress East, in the forest.
This is a piece of woodland about eighty miles away from White Deer Fortress, which is almost symmetrical to Wheat Fragrance Territory.
Nearly a hundred acres of open space have been cleared here, and the surrounding wood has piled up into mountains.
Lesley is directing a large group of people to build various buildings in the open space, and close to White Deer Fortress, there are still many people cutting wood.
In the past, anyone who dared to cut down trees in such a place would only attract the deadly arrows of the Noldor.
But now, Noldo Elves is taking the initiative to cut down the obstructing trees in the surrounding area, intending to clear a passage through the woods.
Humans and Noldor are building together.
Because this place will be built as the trade market agreed upon by the lord and the Noldor.
Moreover, a road must be built leading to White Deer Fortress to facilitate the entry and exit of carriages.
The market was chosen at this location not for symmetry, but because this location is almost eighty miles away from the racecourse in Nodo Fenway Family, making both sides more convenient.
Vendathir is talking to Twilight Knight Noel here.
"His Royal Highness Isildur is currently negotiating with Lord Aldarian... but to no avail. Lord Aldarian seems to be dazzled by hatred. I am very worried that he will do some irrational things."
Noel looked a little anxious. "Lord Aldarian insists that this is all a human trick..."
"Doesn't he have the patience to observe for a month or two? The market built in this forest is completely under the control of the Noldor tribes. Lord Li Ang won't even send human troops in. What's the trick? Lord Aldarian This bastard is always attracting enemies to the forest..."
Vendathir is also very dissatisfied, but she seems to have forgotten that at the beginning, she also felt that she 'cannot trust humans'...
"We have to protect the humans who are building the road. And according to what Miss Lesley said, the first caravan is coming soon... The road has not been repaired yet, so it will be difficult for them to carry the goods through the forest. This originally reflects the sincerity of Lord Li Ang, but I am worried that Lord Aldarian will cause trouble..."
Noel sighed after saying this, "Lord Aldarian became very manic after being defeated by Zhu Da. He refused to listen to anyone, and His Highness Isildur couldn't persuade him."
"Now His Majesty Felgornsal has asked Cedren to set up a patrol team to protect the trade routes along the way. Even His Majesty Keleborniel has sent a patrol team to maintain nearby security - His Majesty Keleborniel has not used force for hundreds of years. Even he is so supportive of the establishment of a market. Why is Lord Aldarian still like this..."
Vendathir has the word 'unhappy' written all over his face.
"Maybe I can guess some reasons..."
Risadiran jumped down from the treehouse next to him. "Lord Aldarian suffered his first defeat in his life at the hands of Zhu Da, but Zhu Da's tribe was beaten to pieces by Lord Li Ang with us... He has always believed that he is the strongest warrior, and he will not give in."
"Is that why?"
Vendathir doesn't quite understand this mentality. She is just a martial arts master and has no desire to achieve success. She became Noldo Ranger's teacher purely because she didn't want to see Noldo maidens be captured.
Noel nodded. "There may be a reason for this..."
"Then... if he really attacks the human merchants who enter here, what should we do?"
Vendathir frowned deeply. "Are they killing each other? We have to find a way to persuade Lord Aldarian."
"But now Lord Aldarian has become very irritable and can hardly communicate. Moreover, he seems to have left the territory with his troops. We don't know where he is now, so His Highness Isildur asked me to come and inform you."
Noel also frowned and sighed.
"It seems like this is not going to be easy to handle... I'm going to report to Lord Li Ang right now."
Risadiran put on the hood quickly and planned to return to White Deer Fortress.
"Risadiran, Isildur, His Highness has restored your noble status in the Aino Family. You can return to the family at any time... Do you still want to serve as a guard beside Lord Li Ang?"
Noel asked behind Risadiran.
"I promised to be loyal to him... As long as he keeps his word, I will keep his word. Moreover, the favors owed must always be repaid."
After Risadiran finished speaking, he disappeared into the woods without looking back.
