The Portrait

Upon hearing Raguel's whisper, Arthur Lionheart's expression shifted.

When the Grand Knight orders rebelled, he hastily suppressed the rebellion without carefully considering the underlying issues.

At this moment, coupled with the explanation from the middle-aged Knight in prison, he finally calmed down.

"That's right, some of them have infiltrated our ranks."

The presence of the staff officer Hand, and the discordant voices within the Knight, all indicated that the rebellion originated from within.

Raguel smiled.

"Now that we've found the root of the rebellion, things will be much easier. My Dark Tribunal specializes in this kind of work."

"And I think, since the other side has infiltrated, it's probably not just A24; other legions may have similar situations."

"That will take time."

"I urge Raguel to find these people as soon as possible, lest they launch a major attack at a crucial moment and breach our Milky Way Defense Line."

Arthur Lionheart sighed.

"It's not that bad."

Raguel smiled.

"Have faith in our people; they may not be able to infiltrate our upper echelons."

The two talked for a while in prison, Arthur Lionheart suddenly thought of a question.

"There's one thing I don't quite understand: why did they choose the A24 Defense Line?"

Raguel's eyes flickered as he guessed.

"Perhaps, this Heavenly Continent holds what they need."

What do they need?

Arthur Lionheart frowned.

The Heavenly Continent of the A24 Defense Line is just an ordinary garrison point, which, together with billions of the Heavenly Continent, forms the defense line of the battlefield on the edge of the Milky Way.

He didn't think there was anything the other person needed here.

Beside him, Raguel continued his analysis.

"This rebellion has no beginning and no end, but we have not found any trace of the enemy."

"This means that, as things stand, the seventh leader of the Gray Legion's Nine-Head Civilization has likely achieved their goal; they've taken that 'thing'."

"What exactly is it that requires them to expose a base to capture it?"

"Perhaps we need to find some people to see what's missing from this Heavenly Continent."

"Lord Arthur, I need to name some people in this prison to help us find out what's missing."

Arthur Lionheart nodded.

"No problem, Raguel."

Having received confirmation, Raguel spoke to the middle-aged Knight before him.

"I'm giving you and your companions a chance to atone. You will select a group of people familiar with this Heavenly Continent to search and compare every inch of it to see what is missing."

"Yes, sir!"

The middle-aged Knight nodded gratefully.

"Please release me, sir, so I can go to the various prison cells to select men."

Raguel nodded.

Arthur Lionheart nodded slightly to the prison guard behind him, who then opened the cell door where he was being held.

"Go."

Raguel laughed.

I need the results as soon as possible.

"Yes!"

The middle-aged Knight stepped out of the prison gate, bowed deeply to Raguel and Arthur Lionheart, and then went to the front of the cells.

Upon seeing the middle-aged Knight indeed released from prison, the Knight in the prison were filled with renewed hope.

"Please choose me, Knight of Buinsold!"

"I know the layout of the Heavenly Continent."

Please choose me, sir. I have lived here for five hundred years.

"Please choose me, I am very useful. A thousand years ago, I came here to serve under the Legion Commander."

"Uncle Buyin Suoerde, I'm here..."

The voices of the rebellious Knight rose and fell in the prison cells, including those of the middle-aged Knight ' relatives.

But Buyin Suoerde did not choose them; he only chose those who were useful.

He also wanted to rescue these Knight, but he knew that only by completing Raguel's mission would they all have a future.

Even if it means constantly walking the path of atonement.

Three days later.

The middle-aged Knight arrived at Raguel's temporary office on the Heavenly Continent in the A24 Defense Line and excitedly reported to him.

"Found it, Raguel! We've discovered that what was missing was a portrait!"

"Portrait?!"

"Yes, sir. To be precise, it's a portrait that the deceased commander of the Dark Feather Knight Order treasured."

"It is said that this portrait was painted by his ancestor, an expeditionary force member and painter who had the honor of participating in the Abyss Expedition hundreds of thousands of years ago, on the battlefield, for His Majesty Yuliel."

"A portrait of my lord?"

Raguel frowned.

"There are countless portraits of our Lord, is there anything special about this one?"

"Some adults, yes!"

The middle-aged Knight answered respectfully.

"Above, there is a very faint trace of my lord's aura!"

"There is actually the aura of my lord above!"

Raguel stood up solemnly.

"Are they going to cast some dark curse on our Lord?"

"They want to influence the battle across the Star Sea?"

This is the key to victory or defeat.

You see, from their perspective...

The Lord of Heaven Yuliel and the King of the Gray Cataclysm Noarongz, fought fiercely above the Star Sea, with sword energy and the aura of Gray Cataclysm reverberating throughout the universe every day.

At this moment, if the opponent were to rely on this wisp of energy and indirectly affect the Lord of Heaven Yuliel's combat performance, that would be a terrible thing.

After all, in a closely contested battle, even the slightest mistake can have extremely serious consequences.

This is not a joke.

Raguel for a moment, then immediately made a decision.

"This matter must be reported to the Empress Dowager for her decision."

Anything involving Lord of Heaven is no small matter.

Even though he didn't believe that the Gray Legion could influence Jiang Yuu with this wisp of aura.

"Buyin Suoerde, wait for me outside."

He immediately wrote a letter in sacred script, recounting the entire incident, sealed it in an envelope, and then suddenly threw it into the deep space of outer space.

Instantly.

The letter then transformed into a golden streak of light, continuously piercing through space and time, flying towards Paradise Mountain in the Astral Realm.

Soon, Queen of Heaven Annatania saw this urgent letter.

She was utterly shocked after reading it.

"These villains from the Gray Legion actually resorted to such underhanded tactics."

She stood up somewhat anxiously from her Platinum Heavenly Throne, trying to find a way to make amends.

"Several days have passed; could Yuliel have already been affected?"

But her anxiety didn't last long.

soon.

A gentle voice reached her ears.

Anna, I'm alright.

"Yuliel, you are still watching us."

Annatania exclaimed in delight.

"I've always been here!"

"Noarongz is now under my control. The day the Astral Realm and the Original Universe are completely merged will be the day of our victory."

"But before that, Anna, I still need you to work hard and continue to maintain this war."

"I see."

Annatania nodded.

"I know how to handle this."
