Southward! (10)

July 24, X765, morning, Kingdom of Stellara, Royal Capital, Altair

"Wait! What did you just say? The person who succeeded the throne of Bosco is named Sordil·Ornn?"

Hearing His Majesty the King's inquiry, the intelligence officer nodded, and then repeated, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Are you sure?"

"Your Majesty, this is what is stated in the intelligence. It should not be wrong."

"Yes? As an intelligence officer, you actually told me that it should be like this? Then should I chop off your head and replace it with a more capable guy to take your place?"

After hearing His Majesty the King's words, the intelligence officer immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

"I am at fault!"

"I am guilty!"

"I have betrayed His Majesty's trust!"

"I deserve death for my crime!"

Just when a layer of red liquid was smeared on the floor in front of the intelligence officer, His Majesty the King, who was in a broken mood, said impatiently, "Get out quickly and find out about that matter, otherwise, you can use the floor tiles in front of you to kill yourself!"

After hearing what His Majesty the King said, the intelligence officer immediately stopped his movements and said with fear and fear, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will confirm the authenticity of this information as soon as possible."

After saying this, the intelligence officer stumbled and ran out of the palace.

"Wait!"

Hearing the shouting from behind, the intelligence officer immediately stopped and crawled back on his knees.

"Your Majesty, do you have any other orders?"

"If you haven't finished it by tomorrow morning, there's no need to do it. I'll find someone else to take over your job. Do you understand me?"

"My subordinate understands!"

"My subordinate understands!"

"Then get out of here, lest I see you upset and change your mind!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

After the intelligence officer left the hall, His Majesty the King shouted toward the door, "Here comes! Please invite the Prime Minister into the palace quickly!"

"Yes!"

After a while, an elder with white beard entered the main hall under the guidance of the waiter.

"I wonder why your Majesty has urgently called for your ministers to come here?"

When the waiter exited the palace and closed the door, His Majesty the King said softly, "Prime Minister, put aside other projects in your hands and develop Terror Knights first."

"Your Majesty, what happened? Why are you so anxious to develop Terror Knights?"

Hearing the Prime Minister's question, His Majesty the King turned around and said impatiently, "I asked you to develop Terror Knights. Of course I have the intention to do so. Why do you ask so many questions?"

"Your Majesty, if we study Terror Knights with our current technical level, I'm afraid..."

"Afraid of what?"

"I'm afraid it will be difficult to succeed!"

"Prime Minister, I am not discussing with you now, but ordering you to develop Terror Knights. As for other things... that is your business!"

"This..."

Looking at the hesitant Prime Minister, His Majesty the King frowned and snorted, "Huh? What? Do you have any questions?"

"No, I'll do it now!"

After hearing the accurate answer, His Majesty the King nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "Okay! Go down!"

"I resign!"

The next morning, the palace, the political hall

"Your Majesty, the Minister of Intelligence wants to see you!"

"Tell him to come in!"

"Yes!"

A moment later, the Minister of Intelligence, who had crawled out of the political hall yesterday, walked in tremblingly.

"I have met your Majesty!"

"How did you handle the matter you told me about?"

"Reporting to your Majesty, I ordered my subordinates to conduct a detailed investigation last night, and it has been confirmed that the new king Bosco Kingdom is indeed named Sordil·Ornn. Not only that, my subordinates also obtained the list of Thirteen Palace Guardian Heavenly Kings, please take a look at it!"

After the intelligence minister finished speaking, the list in his hand automatically fell out of his hand and quickly flew to His Majesty the King.

After reading the list as quickly as possible, His Majesty the King's face gradually turned cold.

Just when the intelligence minister thought that his work failed to satisfy His Majesty the King, a voice of praise for him came from the front.

"You did a good job this time and deserve praise!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Don't be too busy thanking me, I still have something to give you!"

"Please give me your Majesty's orders!"

"From now on, you must send people to watch Bosco Kingdom's every move, and there must be no mistakes!"

"I accept your order!"

"Well! Go to the Prime Minister to receive your reward, and then go arrange this matter!"

"Yes, my subordinates are resigning!"

September 7, X766, Altair, Royal Palace, Government Hall

"Your Majesty, the Minister of Intelligence asked for a meeting and said that he has important information to report to you."

"Call him in!"

"Yes!"

"I have met your Majesty!"

"Get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After the intelligence minister stood up, His Majesty the King asked, "Tell me, what is the emergency?"

"Your Majesty, just now, I received an urgent report from my spies. Six days ago, Erus Kingdom launched an attack on the Milantes Kingdom, and has now conquered most of Milantes's territory."

"What? You launched the war six days ago, and you are reporting it to me now. Minister of Intelligence, have you forgotten what I said to you a year ago?"

Hearing His Majesty the King mention the old events from a year ago, the Minister of Intelligence knelt down with a plop and said in panic, "Your Majesty, a few days ago, Erus Kingdom suddenly launched a purge, and all our intelligence personnel were arrested, so..."

Before the intelligence minister could finish his 'so', His Majesty the King interrupted him rudely.

"Shut up!"

Hearing the roar, the intelligence minister immediately shut his mouth.

"The intelligence officer was caught, so there is no intelligence? Then don't you know how to send a few more intelligence officers, just in case?"

"That is a large-scale purge specifically targeting intelligence personnel. It will be useless no matter how many people I send! (The voice of the intelligence officer)"

"Forget it, you... you actually delayed repairing the intelligence station for six days. How poor is your work ability!"

"The intelligence officer's contact is regular. Only after the contact time has passed can I be sure that something has happened to the intelligence station and I will carry out remedial measures. It is normal for it to take a longer time! (Voice of the intelligence officer)"

"Waste! What a waste! (His Majesty the King)"

"Come here, drag him down and chop him down! (His Majesty the King)"

"Yes!"

Hearing the response from outside the door, the intelligence officer who had his head down and said nothing suddenly raised his head and looked at the throne not far away in disbelief.

"Chichi"

When the heat generated by the friction between the soles of the feet and the ground was transmitted to the body, the dumbfounded intelligence officer realized what he was going to face next, so he hurriedly begged in a sharp voice, "Your Majesty, please spare my life!"

"Your Majesty!"

"Ah!"

After a while, a warrior with blood-stained robes and armor walked into the hall, bowed and replied, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the guilty minister Luo Er has been executed!"

"I know, get down!"

"Yes!"

After the warrior resigned, His Majesty the King looked at the northeast with a sad face.

"Oh! I didn't expect that guy would become even more terrifying after not seeing him for four hundred years!"

After murmuring softly, His Majesty the King shouted towards the outside of the hall, "Come here, go get the Prime Minister..."

His Majesty the King Just as he said this, an announcement sounded outside the hall.

"Your Majesty, I would like to see you, Prime Minister!"

Hearing this voice, His Majesty the King smiled and shook his head, and then shouted, "Invite him in!"

"Yes!"

After receiving the permission, the Prime Minister rushed into the hall excitedly.

"Your Majesty, good news!"

"Good news!"

Looking at the Prime Minister, whose face was flushed and walking as fast as flying, His Majesty the King asked curiously, "Haha! What kind of good news is it that makes you so excited, Prime Minister?"

After hearing His Majesty the King's question, the Prime Minister controlled his emotions, and then said, "Your Majesty, we succeeded, Terror Knights has been developed!"

After hearing the four words Terror Knights, His Majesty the King, who originally looked indifferent, suddenly turned around and asked excitedly, "Prime Minister, is what you said true?"

"It's absolutely true! I came to the palace this time to invite His Majesty to check out Terror Knights."

"Haha!"

"Okay! That's great!"

After finishing speaking, His Majesty the King stepped down from the throne, took the prime minister's hand and walked towards the door.

"Let's go! Take me to see it quickly! (His Majesty the King)"

"Yes!"

March 17, X767, Altair, Royal Palace, Government Hall

"Your Majesty, we just received an urgent report. Just yesterday, all the main forces of the Erus Kingdom were sent to the border."

After hearing the report from the new intelligence minister, His Majesty the King sneered, "Haha! This King Erus is really impatient. He just regained some strength and started causing trouble again!"

"That's right! Have you found out which direction they are heading in? (His Majesty the King)"

"Reporting to your majesty, the six Heavenly King Guard that conquered Milantes last time are all on standby at the northern border of Erus. Therefore, I speculate that the target of the Erus Kingdom this time should be Kingdom of Auriel in the north."

After the intelligence minister finished speaking, His Majesty the King did not comment, but turned to the prime minister and asked, "Prime Minister, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, this is probably King Erus's trick. His real target should be Kingdom of Cushen in the south and our country."

"Yeah, I think so too! (King)"

"Your Majesty, if this is the case, then we must prepare early! (Minister of Intelligence)"

His Majesty the King nodded, and then asked, "Prime Minister, how many Terror Knights do we have now?"

"Reporting to your Majesty, we have now produced two thousand Terror Knights, and one thousand more are about to be completed. (Prime Minister)"

"Three thousand? I'm afraid that's not enough! (His Majesty the King)"

"Your Majesty, we have been working hard day and night, but the manufacturing of Terror Knights is really difficult, so..."

"Okay, Prime Minister, there is no need to explain, I know all your difficulties. (His Majesty the King)"

"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty! (Prime Minister)"

"Your Majesty, although our country cannot resist Erus Kingdom, we can rely on the power of Kingdom of Cushen! (Minister of Intelligence)"

"Yeah! That's a good idea! (His Majesty the King)"

"In that case, I'll leave this matter to you! (His Majesty the King)"

"Yes! (Intelligence Minister)"
