Chapter 493 The Imperial Capital Fallen

Let’s talk about Lao Xie’s return to the Magic Tower, he did not rush to go to the Magic Forest. Instead, he called Chrischen over first and told him to pay more attention to the situation in the imperial capital recently. Then Lao Xie quickly ran to the Magic Forest to find the four girls to make trouble. In fact, he was not just playing around, but to avoid the upcoming storm.

He deliberately did not participate in this matter in order to give the emperor and the third prince a chance so that they could fully utilize their abilities and make the incident a big deal. According to Lao Xie's estimate, the emperor and the third prince would definitely overturn the case for those five people, and severely rebuke Catherine, and would definitely drop her back.

The reason is very simple. The current army has almost become Catherine's private army. Which emperor would allow others to fully control such a large army? Especially Catherine, although she has the ability, she is not the same as the emperor. Especially after the last time she refused to reward, the emperor who lost face hated Catherine, otherwise she would not have indulged the third prince to mobilize the shadow troops to assassinate Catherine.

Now, things are completely beyond the control of the emperor and the third prince. Not only did the shadow assassins not only did not kill Catherine, but also implicated the five confidant generals, allowing Catherine to take the opportunity to completely control the troops. This is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for the emperor and the third prince? So they must take action. The first thing is to do is naturally to eliminate Catherine's military power. Even Catherine, who has troops, is also taboo to the emperor. Only by removing her military power will the emperor and the third prince dare to deal with her.

However, Catherine's military power is not so easy to get rid of. Because she is different from other generals after all. If she is an ordinary general, even if she is the three sword saints, the emperor can give him an order and directly remove the military power with one order. But Catherine is different. You should know that since he killed the Lich King and saved tens of millions of people on the mainland, Catherine's prestige in the whole continent is amazing, and almost all of them can be compared with top figures such as the Elf King, the Dwarf King, and the Pope. Especially among the people, the people of the earth love Catherine surpasses the emperor. After all, the emperor did not save them, but always took taxes, so his prestige was far inferior to the hero Catherine.

Obviously, in this case, if the emperor removes Catherine's military power for no reason, it will definitely cause a series of problems. Not only will the people below have opinions, but they will definitely be conservative and criticized internationally. Especially those countries that were rescued, such as the Empire of Light, the Kingdom of Elf, etc., will definitely support Catherine. Therefore, when the emperor dealt with Catherine, he did not dare to be so casual, at least he had a reasonable excuse.

And now there is a chance. As long as the case of these five guys is reversed, they will testify that Catherine does not hesitate to accuse them in order to seize military power, then the emperor can use this as an excuse to recruit Catherine back. As long as Catherine comes back, everything will be easy. Even if Catherine cannot be killed, it will be fine to be under house arrest. Whether it is to kill or continue to be imprisoned in the future, isn’t the emperor’s final decision?

In this way, it can not only calm the hidden dangers, but also comfort the generals' families and make them more loyal to the emperor. It is really a killing two birds with one stone. It would be strange if the emperor could not do such a good thing!

In fact, Lao Xie was able to make a bet with Catherine only after seeing this. Of course, he also had his own plans. The first is to let the emperor and the third prince completely reveal their true face in front of Catherine. Let them use their ugly face to eliminate the last trace of Catherine's feelings for them. In that case, Lao Xie would be happy in the future. At least he didn't have to worry about the resistance from Catherine.

Another advantage is naturally that it is to completely control the army of 100,000 people. Lao Xie believes that as long as Catherine admits defeat, she will inevitably fulfill her promises according to her chivalrous spirit. In this way, isn’t the 100,000 army equivalent to being held in Lao Xie’s hand?

As long as this move can be achieved, Lao Xie will have another base. In this way, with the Imperial Capital Magic Tower, Gobi Castle, Magic Forest and Siren Island, Lao Xie will have several places to settle down, and each one is extraordinary.

In addition, these bases happen to be divided from the mainland from north to south, allowing Lao Xie to sit in the teleportation array to travel north and south of the mainland in an instant, which is extremely convenient. When Lao Xie's strength gradually expands in the future and connects these, it will be the capital to dominate the mainland!

Of course, it's still early to say this now, but you have to eat it slowly, and now what Lao Xie wants to eat the most is the army of 100,000! What surprised Lao Xie was that this time things seemed to be extremely smooth. The emperor and the third prince seemed to only look at Catherine and did not notice Lao Xie, which made Lao Xie, the yellow bird, most likely to laugh to the end. The funniest thing is that they were singing the show on stage, while Lao Xie could leisurely hide in the magic forest to watch the show. When the time is right, just come up and pick peaches. It's so cool! When I think of this, Lao Xie kept giggling, which made the four girls Constantaneous and Juliet inexplicably, and thought Lao Xie had cramps in his mouth!

More than ten days later, the team sent by Catherine came to the imperial capital by sending the five unlucky guys, various evidence, witnesses, as well as Catherine's handwritten letters to the emperor.

Because Catherine seemed to be very anxious, she ordered them to arrive at the fastest speed. Therefore, these people were lightly equipped and each brought two horses. As for the prisoners, they were tied to the horses. The soldiers hated these fellows who were crawling in and out of towns to dare to murder their most beloved goddess Princess Catherine, so they all tried to die. After a rushing march, it took more than ten days to walk the army for more than a month, which naturally caused the wounded people who were missing their arms and legs to suffer.

Anyway, when these generals with level 4 and 5 warriors returned to the imperial capital, they were so weak that they couldn't even say anything. They looked like an old man who had been lingering on the sickbed for decades. Those who didn't know could not imagine that these people were still alive and commanding tens of thousands of troops half a month ago.

However, the so-called Feng Shui turns! The guards on the road can show off their power to the prisoners, but after entering the imperial capital, everything is completely different.

When they explained their purpose, a huge shock was immediately triggered. From the peddlers and pawns to the supreme emperor of a country, they were all shocked by the news. The front-line generals conspired to assassinate the commander of the first army. This was the first time that new things have happened in the history of the Griffin Kingdom! How can it not cause a sensation?

Then, the escorts who were unknown were first detained by the judicial officials of the imperial capital. Later, under the strong request of the generals, they were all charged with torture of meritorious soldiers and were sent to prison. Can they still survive when they were in prison? With the acquiesce of some people, these soldiers were tortured, and only a few insisted on Catherine to save them, and most of the rest were tortured to death.

After the news spread, the emperor, who had long known it, did not care about the sensation caused by this matter. The only thing he cared about was a detail, that is, the 'the criminal had been removed from military power and sent to the imperial capital'. Because this also means that the five generals, as the spokesperson of the emperor and the third prince, were all taken away by Catherine. From then on, the emperor and the third prince completely lost control of the 100,000 troops on the expedition. These troops may have even become Catherine's private soldiers. The fact that they could not control the outside army was the most worried about the emperor.

After receiving the news, the emperor did not dare to delay at all. He immediately summoned the five people and quickly got the story from them. After learning about the story, the emperor was even more worried because he got another bad news, that is, these generals, officials at the level of the captain were also cleaned up by Lao Xie because of the rebellion of the five people. Without these captains in the group, it would undoubtedly be easier for the princess to control the five people's troops.

When the emperor thought of this, the emperor felt even heavier. At this moment, the third prince came to call for justice with a group of five generals. When the emperor saw them, his eyes suddenly lit up and immediately announced passionately that he must find out the truth and give everyone an explanation!

The next development of the matter was exactly the same as Lao Xie expected. On the night when everyone arrived in the imperial capital, a group of witnesses, including the captured assassin, the general's adjutant, and some other witnesses, were "seldom" committed suicide. The witnesses disappeared. After a group of "selfless and justice" judges tried, it was believed that the evidence submitted by Catherine was insufficient and could not prove that the five generals were guilty. So they were all released in court. The guys were naturally grateful and shouted for the emperor's wiseness in court! That sincere look, the audience was really moved to tears!

Next, under the above sign, the generals who were "wronged" began to bite back, saying that Catherine intended to frame them in order to undermine them and monopolize military power. They asked the emperor to make the decision for them and restore their reputation and positions! They also strongly demanded that His Majesty the Emperor take back the military power of His Highness Catherine. They said that the princess was still young and could not take on a big responsibility.
