This D'Alessandro, a mere disciple of Martial Saint Mountain, has shamelessly spread rumors to evade his sins and successfully whitewash himself. Given his status as the second disciple of Continent Martial Saint Mountain, even if I and Lloris were to refute his words, how many people in this world would be willing to believe them?
Besides, this despicable and insane man is probably still eyeing the [ Immortal King's Soul Crusher ] and [ Throne of Chaotic Times ] in his possession. Sun Fei clearly remembered the undisguised greed on D'Alessandro's face when he saw these two items; it was like a starving mouse seeing cheese.
That was a truly vicious move of his.
Sun Fei stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, lost in deep thought.
The room fell silent. Solomon Cain stood there, holding his breath, not daring to be careless in the slightest. The air of superiority that Sun Fei inadvertently exuded while he was thinking made Cain tremble with fear. The self-important Kane had never imagined that one day he would be so nervous because of the back view of a young man more than thirty years younger than himself.
After a full ten minutes, Sun Fei slowly turned around.
"Have the [ Letters and Visits Office ]'s branches in various places spread the word that D'Alessandro is lying, that he himself was the one who truly released the Sea Clan god, and that King of Chambord and Lloris are the Human Clan heroes who fought to the death to prevent the god's birth!"
"This..."
Cain hadn't expected the controller to give such an order.
To be honest, he was a little hesitant. At this moment, the people within a million miles were indignant and were denouncing King of Chambord and Lloris, the two great traitors of the Human Clan. If he chose to go against the trend, it would be like adding fuel to the fire. He was afraid that the [ Letters and Visits Office ] would immediately become the target of the angry people and suffer huge losses.
Sun Fei smiled slightly as he saw Cain's troubled expression.
"I know what you're worried about, but there's really no need to be. Be smart when spreading rumors; you don't necessarily have to do it openly yourself. Rumors are like wildfire; once you sow a seed, it will quickly grow into a raging inferno. Let [ the Old Man ] handle this matter personally."
Cain blushed, wondering what had gotten into him today. He hadn't even thought things through properly, neglecting one thing for another, and had made a huge mistake in front of the person in control. He felt he shouldn't have done that, and immediately agreed.
Sun Fei thought for a moment and then said, "There's one more thing. When you spread the word, say that the Sea Clan's evil god has been severely injured by King of Chambord and King Lyon King of Buckingham Lloris using an ancient divine array on the seabed, and will definitely not show up to cause trouble in the short term."
Cain was stunned. "This... this is real?"
"Of course it's true, haha. Didn't D' D'Alessandro say that the Sea Clan god had been released and would soon appear to slaughter the Human Clan around the Fragrant Sea Region? Hehe, then let everyone open their eyes and see if the Sea Clan god Kluivert will actually appear. Then, the smart ones will realize who is lying."
By this time, Sun Fei had completely calmed down from his initial shock.
Having the [ Letters and Visits Office ] release such information naturally wouldn't help him and Lloris clear their names of crimes against humanity, but it could at least plant a small seed in people's hearts that would play a crucial role sooner or later. Moreover, Sun Fei astutely seized upon a flaw in D'Alessandro's colossal lie.
On the day D'Alessandro was defeated and fled in panic, he did not see the subsequent transformation of the broken Broken Blade, nor did he witness the projection of Maradona, the ' Strongest on Land, ' appear. He was also unaware that the Sea Clan god Kluivert had suffered severe injuries, losing both arms and greatly weakened, making him unable to appear in the short term. Therefore, in fabricating his lies, he claimed that the Sea Clan god Kluivert would soon reappear...
This is the flaw.
Even if it cannot completely refute D'Alessandro's lies, it will at least make some people begin to have doubts.
A thousand-mile dike can be destroyed by an ant hole. No matter how perfect a lie is, if someone stands up to oppose and question it, it means that sooner or later the lie will be exposed and the truth will reappear before people's eyes.
Having figured out the cause and effect, Sun Fei felt somewhat at ease.
Although this incident is a crisis of moderate magnitude, it is not entirely without benefit. As the saying goes, a strong wind reveals the strength of the grass. Perhaps this storm can be used to test the attitudes of all parties. Currently, a small but significant interest group has formed around Sun Fei and Chambord City. Many people want to get on Chambord City's side. Sun Fei also wants to see clearly who is truly trustworthy and who is a treacherous opportunist.
Sun Fei stretched lightly, breathed a sigh of relief, returned to his seat, and gestured for Cain to continue his report.
A lot has indeed happened in the past ten days or so.
Besides the two major events mentioned earlier, the war in the Southern Frontier of the Zenit Empire, after its initial victories, gradually became bogged down. The army led by the Second Prince Dominguez achieved a series of great victories, at one point bewildering the Lyon Empire and recovering most of the territory of the fallen Red Leaf Province. Unfortunately, the army led by the Fourth Prince Christo was blinded by its initial victories and was surrounded by the allied forces of other empires, suffering almost total annihilation. If it weren't for the desperate rescue by the Big Family's elite soldiers, this ambitious prince would probably have been captured by the allied forces.
The defeat of the Fourth Prince's army left the Second Prince isolated and fighting alone. To avoid being surrounded by the enemy, he had to halt his advance and hold out for reinforcements. The Fourth Prince thus squandered the promising situation on the Southern Frontier frontier.
However, the local resistance forces in the Southern Frontier region are fighting quite well, especially the resistance led by the Kingdom of Byzantium. Their elusive guerrilla warfare is causing headaches for the allied forces of the Lyon Empire and other empires, who are unable to defeat them for the time being.
Overall, however, the Zenit Empire's first wave of military operations to reclaim the Southern Frontier ultimately ended in failure, which was regrettable.
This defeat led to a major reshuffling of power within the Zenit Empire.
This also caused Prince Christo, who was ambitious but unlucky, to completely withdraw from the imperial political stage and lose the opportunity to compete for the imperial throne. The Big Family, who had always stood with the fourth prince, also saw their status in the capital plummet due to the complete annihilation of their subordinate [ Giant Strength Legion ] in this battle. They gradually fell into obscurity and became a second-rate family, never to recover.
What's puzzling is that, although the empire has greatly expanded its military strength through conscription and other means, and is absolutely capable of recovering the Southern Frontier in one fell swoop, the imperial family and the Military Department have been slow to send reinforcements, as if they are waiting for something.
As for the warning issued by D'Alessandro, the second disciple of the Continent Martial Saint Mountain of the Lyon Empire, demanding that the Zenit Empire hand over the Guardian Martial Saint King of Chambord, the Zenit Imperial Family and Military Department have maintained an elusive silence to this day.
"That's about all the intelligence we have about Zenit." Cain finished his report in one breath, then took a light breath. Seeing how much attention Sun Fei paid to information about Zenit and the King of Chambord, he was quick-witted and had guessed something, but dared not ask directly.
Sun Fei nodded. The situation wasn't good, but it wasn't bad either; at least everything was within his expectations.
"Oh, by the way, that little girl named Allen Peggy was quite nice. You won't blame her for bringing me here without permission."
Third update.
Thank you so much for your support, brothers. I love you all.
