This Lich Needs More Money Chapter 338

Chapter 338 The war is as usual

 In the Imperial Capital of Lane, the obituary of Rachel Angelo has been delivered to the emperor.

 After reading the above description, the young Emperor Ryan crumpled the paper into a ball angrily.

 “Damn the undead! He should not have been given an amnesty in the first place, otherwise the situation today would not have happened!”

 Rachel Angelo is the general who supports the Lion Royal Family the most, and is also the one with the highest status and the most power among those who support the Lion Royal Family.

 Rachel Angelou's death meant that the royalist party lost one of its generals.

The emperor originally thought that this battle of Unclean Ode would bring him to the forefront again, no longer a puppet emperor, but a great emperor who truly holds power.

As a result, Rachel Angelo died before the war officially started? !

 Does anyone think this is the emperor's fault?

　　No, this situation must not be allowed to happen. Now he urgently needs a scapegoat... No, the scapegoat is not his fault in the first place, it is the lich and the treasonous Alan Watson.

　That's right, Alan Watson joined forces with the lich to design the death of Rachel Angelou. That pardon order was also issued by James Watson. It must have been this family that teamed up to kill Rachel Angelou.

There is no doubt that there is no need to discuss it at all, just convict it directly.

However, James Watson is the supreme judge. According to Lane's rules, he is the supreme interpreter of all laws. If you want to try such a person, the process is not generally complicated.

How would this old man give up his position as the supreme judge so easily? No one would believe it.

This resignation was reasonable, but the little emperor couldn't believe it.

The law is supreme and there is no room for any selfishness or compromise.

 Because since he became the emperor, he has been humbled in front of James Watson more than once. That is why he hates this upright old man so much and wishes he could be replaced now.

 The little emperor looked at the envelope in his hand and asked doubtfully: "That old guy, besides giving a letter, what else did he say?"

This statement is very consistent with the old man's consistent style.

The little emperor felt guilty and was a little afraid that James Watson would question him, so he couldn't help but want to refuse the interview.

You can't see him now, at least until public opinion ferments and everyone despises this old man, so that you can have the confidence to face him.

But no matter what, after getting this letter, the little emperor has completely taken advantage of this old man. No matter what his conspiracy is, now he can legitimately change to one of his own.

What the little emperor didn't expect was that James Watson seemed to have known that he would do this. After being rejected, he asked the waiter to deliver a letter to the little emperor.

Just as he was thinking about how to deal with the inexperienced old man, he suddenly heard the announcement and asked for an audience with the supreme judge.

The waiter knelt in front of the little emperor and replied cautiously: "I didn't say anything. The Supreme Judge turned around and left."

"Did this old guy guess that I was going to deal with him?"

 Although he now has the advantage, the little emperor is still a little afraid of James Watson.

 The little emperor opened the letter in confusion, thinking that no matter what the old man wrote, the pot must belong to him.

 The little emperor was startled.

 However, after reading this letter, the little emperor was shocked and thought that he had been charmed. But after reading it over and over again, nothing was wrong.

  James Watson decided to resign from the position of Supreme Judge and decided to go into self-exile and leave Llane.

The reason is that Allen has committed treason and is suspected of killing Rachel Angelo. As a father, he is suspected of harboring the Supreme Judge by continuing to serve as the supreme judge. He needs to be tried by other disinterested people.

The young emperor pondered for a while and said to himself: "Let this news spread first. Then, the entire Ryan people will ask this supreme judge to give an explanation. If you just incite it, public opinion will be He was completely killed, now as long as..."

This letter is only a few sentences long.

The little emperor told everyone in the imperial capital the news as quickly as possible, and also found someone to write a "sincere" letter of condolence. When announcing James Watson's resignation, he also read this letter with great emotion.

This is to tell everyone that it was not him, the emperor, who forced him to resign. He "tried his best" to retain him, but his predecessor, the Supreme Judiciary, repeatedly rejected his efforts to retain him, so he left on his own.

 Originally, I wanted to organize a farewell party for him. After all, he had worked hard for the empire for so many years and deserved a grand farewell ceremony.

 But unfortunately, the old man has left Lane.

And the little emperor firmly stated that he would not implicate his family because of Allen's treason, and his relatives such as his brothers and sisters would not be held accountable.

Those Lane people loudly praised the emperor's kindness, and at the same time cursed the Watson family ten thousand times in their hearts.

 Raising a son who is a traitor, there must be something wrong with this supreme judgment.

This is what the little emperor wants to see. He has already sent people to spread such news, just to prevent James Watson from ever coming back.

Now that the goal has been achieved, the Supreme Judgment can be replaced, but the candidate can still be studied slowly, and the deputy can be temporarily put in charge, and he can be replaced when he has chosen the person.

Everything was perfect. The death of an imperial general was suppressed by the resignation of the Supreme Judgment. The public opinion storm that would have appeared quickly dissipated and became despised by everyone in the Watson family.

 But no matter how beautifully these superficial things are solved, the little emperor still has to deal with an important problem.

 Rachel Angelou is dead, what to do with the war on Unholy Anthem?

 An armistice? This seems to be a very right choice.

 But this time the war ceases, I don't know when the next attack on Unclean Ode will be. When everyone calms down and forgets about James Watson as the scapegoat, they may think of the little emperor.

 At that time, there will likely be noise in those songs of praise.

The little emperor wanted to find someone to discuss such a big matter, but he suddenly found that he didn't have anyone to discuss it with.

When James Watson was here before, the little emperor didn't mind chatting with him.

This old man is a bit stubborn, but the little emperor also believes that his suggestions are without any selfish motives. In fact, everyone in Lane knows that this supreme judge has been working for so many years, and there has never been anything that can be questioned. , except his son.

Even if he gets a mocking answer, the little emperor doesn't mind listening to the old man's words, at least it can be used as a reference.

 But now that James Watson is gone, the little emperor finds that he has no confidants.

 With me being the emperor for too long and being a puppet all the time, it's really hard to find someone with whom I can talk about serious business.

After thinking for a long time, the little emperor had no choice but to go into the basement of the palace again and find the old guys lying in the coffins.

They all fell into a deep dream, reducing all physical exertion, and managed to survive without losing their clarity of thought.

The Ryan royal family cannot live longer, and the old people can only survive in this way. The little emperor also obtained permission from them before, allowing him to use the magic dragon weapon. Although I don't know why these old guys suddenly agreed to let him use the magic dragon weapon, in any case, it gave him the power to step onto the stage.

Now, the empire is about to undergo a big change, and the little emperor can only ask these old guys questions again.

There are special waiters who send the little emperor's questions into the dream. These waiters are actually of royal blood. They have all tested the induction with the magic dragon's weapons. If they fail, they will learn the spell to communicate with the dream and be sent here to take care of them. These old zombies.

 It didn't take long for the old people to give a simple reply—to continue the war of unclean chants.

 The little emperor wanted to ask the reason, but was refused by the waiter.

Every time we respond to realistic questions, it is a burden for these old guys. If we do it again, I am afraid they will not be able to bear it.

The little emperor had no choice but to grit his teeth and leave the basement.

 These old guys have always been like this, treating him as a puppet who only obeys orders.

“When I regain control of the empire, I will dig out all you old guys. I want to see if you dare to be so rude to me when you wake up!”

 Although he only got an unreasonable conclusion, the little emperor could only follow this request for the time being.

It's not a big problem to continue attacking Unclean Ode. It's just that one general is missing. Just transfer another one from somewhere else. When the time comes, as long as you use the magic dragon weapons yourself, the battle will be won.

 Lane began to redeploy troops, and these large-scale changes in military strength could not be hidden from anyone.

Unholy Song quickly received the news, but those tieflings probably have no time to deal with this issue now.

In the royal capital where the singing never ends, Domino Lawley and the other twelve unclean people looked at the report in front of them with gloomy expressions.

 What is written above is not the mobilization of troops by the Llane people, but the recent rumors of the appearance of unclean hymns.

 The Unjust Council signed a contract with the Lords of Hell, selling the entire kingdom as a price in exchange for them not being tortured and becoming the nobles of Hell.

There are no details in this news, it seems like a random rumor.

 But all members of the Injustice Council understand that this is not a lie.

Domino Lawley stood up angrily and smashed the table in front of him into pieces with one punch.

 “Who leaked the news?”

Domino Lawley looked at the other twelve unclean people with sharp eyes, but none of them flinched. They were just thoughtful, surprised, and worried.

These reactions are normal, after all, their biggest secret is known.

Domino Lawley couldn't see any flaws in their faces and couldn't help but frown tightly.

An old tiefling next to Domino Lawley said: "Domino, we are all participants in the plan. We cannot leak the news in advance. This will only make ourselves go to **** in advance. Now is not the time to pursue this issue. , let's consider how we should deal with it first.”

Domino Lawley was silent for a moment, and then said: "You are right, but how do we solve this problem?"

 The rumors are currently only circulating among some high-level officials and nobles. Although they are not widely spread, they perfectly fit the current war situation.

Lian is eager to invade at any time, and there are many clues of **** inside the kingdom. As long as someone is interested in investigating, they will soon find the clues. Even if they couldn't prove the rumor, it would make them more suspicious.

How to deal with such true rumors?

Someone suggested: "Make a statement. Regardless of whether it is useful or not, declare that nothing happened."

Domino Lawley shook his head and said: "It's useless. They are not civilians. They are all nobles who know the news. Most of them are lords of different cities."

“Delay as long as you can. Lane is about to invade anyway. By the time the war starts, everything will be a foregone conclusion. By then it will be too late for them to ask.”

 This is a feasible suggestion, as long as you hide it for a while. But when will Ryan invade? I heard that one of their generals just died. If they give up the war, delaying tactics will be of no use.

They, the unclean ones, sacrificed the entire kingdom to allow a few people to gain immunity and not be tortured in hell. If people knew about it, they might turn around and destroy the gate of hell, and then let them These powerful people are in hell.

 Don't say that you will die in the Lion invasion. Most people will not think of it that far away and will only choose to rebel first.

“We are going to do this in three parts, not only to claim that nothing happened, but also to investigate Ryan's exact situation, and finally…find the person who spread the news!”

Domino Lawley hated the person who spread the rumor so much that he wanted to make that person a specimen now.

The meeting ended quickly. Domino Lawley rubbed his tired head and returned to his room.

 As soon as she entered the door, she saw a gray-haired old man.

Domino Lawley said in surprise: "It's bad luck, is it you?"

This old man who has been waiting here for a long time is naturally Mr. Fortune. He looked at the still charming lady in front of him and said with a smile: "Domino, long time no see."

Domino Lawley took a step back nervously, ready to call the guards at any moment.

Although she is a legend, she has lived in a comfortable position for many years and has not made any moves with anyone for a long time. Now she is an alchemist and the leader of a kingdom, no longer the Hell Knight.

Mr. Fortune has been defined as a traitor and is on the wanted list because he has repeatedly sabotaged their actions to build the Gate of Hell due to his disagreement with their ideals.

The sudden appearance now made Domino Lawley feel very uneasy.

However, no matter how she gestured to the guard outside the door, the other person remained indifferent, as if he couldn't see her.

Mr. Fortune smiled and said: "Don't be nervous, Domino. I'm not here to assassinate you, so don't waste your efforts. No one will see you and me today."

Domino Lawley didn't believe it and wanted to escape, but found that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't leave the room.

"I said, it's useless. Domino, I'm here, I just want to tell you one thing." Mr. Doom walked up to Domino Lawley and said: "The person who spread the news is me, you people's deal with **** I understand everything."

Domino Lawley's eyes widened and he said in surprise: “How do you know?!”

Mr. Doom shook his head and said: "That's not important. I just want to tell you that I will save this kingdom, but I can't save you. Domino, I once loved you, and you were like the sun in the sky to me." Dazzling. But now, I must destroy everything you have planned. The Kingdom of Unholy Songs will not go to hell, but you and your shameless companions will.

"Now, I can give you a chance. You can choose one of your descendants to stay. This is the only thing I can do for you. Domino, you choose one."
