Chapter 530: Successful force

"This~" The emperor was immediately embarrassed when he heard this. You must know that the restoration of an official position means the command power of a 100,000 army! It was difficult to seize the military power. If he gave it to her again, it would be difficult to seize it in the future!

Seeing the emperor's hesitation, Lao Xie immediately snorted coldly, "What? Even though you know she was wronged, don't you say you should comfort her well, but you still have to continue to remove her from her position and investigate?"

"No!" the emperor hurriedly said, "I feel sorry for her? The front line is so hard, how can she be like a girl always there? Besides, Cassia has already taken over there. If Catherine is replaced, it will be like replacing the commander-in-chief one after another. This morale of the army will inevitably be shaken? After all, dealing with the Burning Legion is a matter of the whole continent, so it cannot be a joke, right? Otherwise, let Catherine stay in the imperial capital? I will reward her with another reward, how about it?"

"No!" Lao Xie said coldly: "It is precisely because it is important to deal with the Burning Legion that Catherine is even more necessary. That idiot Cassia can't even control military power. How can he be qualified to command the army?"

"What, what?" The emperor was stunned and hurriedly said: "As a perfect sword saint, Cassia is also the three giants of the military. She has a very high prestige in the military. How could she not be able to control the military power? You must be joking?"

"Not a joke!" Lao Xie said lightly: "Tell me the truth, I'm about to report something to you!"

"What's the matter?" the emperor asked in confusion, and at the same time he felt a bad feeling.

Sure enough, Lao Xie sneered directly: "Actually, I have served as the logistics officer of the Front Line Legion and have just returned from the front line. I was entrusted by the front line soldiers and want to confirm something to you!"

"You've just returned from the front line?" The emperor said with an incredible look on his face: "What are you trying to prove?"

"We want to know if the Perfect Sword Saint Cassia was yours to take over as the commander of Catherine?" Lao Xie said lightly.

"Of course?" the emperor hurriedly said, "Why do you need to confirm this? Did Cassia not show my order?"

"Yes!" Lao Xie shrugged, "He lost your handwritten order, so according to the regulations of the military headquarters, we cannot recognize his qualification as commander."

"Oh, no!" The emperor covered his head and said, "How could this happen?"

"There is no way, who told Lord Cassia to be so careless?" Lao Xie said pretending.

"But he is the commander of the military after all? Can't this identity take over as commander when Catherine is no longer?" the emperor suddenly asked again.

"Of course, we only accept orders, not people!" Lao Xie smiled and said, "You know, he and Princess Catherine are on the same level. As the princess' subordinates, there is no need to obey his command! I think you don't want the three giants of the military to command the entire country at will, right?"

"This~" the emperor became depressed as soon as he heard this. Indeed, if they could command the army at will, would his throne be stable? In desperation, he could only shake his head and say, "Oh, let's just let it go, right? But with Cassia's temper, would he give up?" The emperor was obviously still doubting something.

Lao Xie simply told him the truth: "Of course, Mr. Cassia will not give up, so he wanted to rely on force to accept command. For such shameless people who rely on their seniority, we have no reason to tolerate him, so we simply arrested him and imprisoned him!"

"Catch it and imprison it?" The emperor was stunned.

"That's right!" Lao Xie said with a smile: "So. Now the commander on the front line is still Catherine in name, but the actual command is temporarily exercised by his subordinates! Therefore, now you let the eldest princess go back. There is no need to worry about it affecting morale, but it will make the morale of the army high."

"What if I don't agree?" The emperor finally couldn't help but burst out. After all, he was not an idiot. He knew from the old evil description that this army might have been completely controlled by Catherine. Even the perfect sword saint Cassia was unable to accept it, but was imprisoned. This shows how profound Catherine's influence was. Such a army was almost equivalent to Catherine's own private army. As the emperor, how could he tolerate the appearance of a hundred thousand troops in his kingdom that were not under his control? That's why he was so angry.

Of course, Lao Xie, who has an absolute advantage, doesn’t care how annoyed the emperor. In fact, no matter how the emperor decides, it is already a foregone conclusion that Catherine completely controls the army. Now Lao Xie just wants a title. In other words, Lao Xie is equivalent to cooking the raw rice into a cooked rice, and you have to recognize it. If you don’t recognize it, you have to recognize it.

"Your Majesty. If I were you, I would definitely agree with this matter!" Lao Xie said with a smile: "Unless you are willing to spread the list all over the mainland!"

"You~" the emperor was so angry that he couldn't live.

"Cough cough!" Lao Xie coughed twice, then said lightly: "Your Majesty, your time is precious. Can you make a decision immediately?"

"Yeah!" The emperor took a deep breath, forced his anger down, then forced a smile and said, "Okay, you're right, Catherine should be restored!"

"Very good!" Lao Xie nodded and said, "In addition, the mastermind behind the scenes, I will give you a face and no longer pursue it. But those bastards who collude with assassins must be severely punished by the law!"

"This~" the emperor frowned, and then said helplessly: "Okay, I will execute them afterwards!"

"It's their whole family!" Lao Xie said coldly: "Don't forget that the assassination of the princess is not just their own business!"

"Ah?" The emperor was stunned when he heard this and hurriedly said, "Those people are the more influential nobles in the imperial capital. Killing them will already be very exciting to those nobles. If the whole family is confiscated, it will probably cause turmoil in the imperial capital aristocratic circle?"

"Don't care about me!" Lao Xie sneered: "I just want them to know what the consequences of assassinating Catherine!"

"This~" the emperor was about to say something, but Lao Xie waved impatiently: "Okay, there is no need to say more. I only have these two conditions. Three days, I will give you three days. If I have completed the three days, I will give you the list. If I can't do it well, I will bear the consequences!" After that, Lao Xie turned his head and left, too lazy to talk to the emperor!

Seeing Lao Xie's arrogant attitude, the emperor was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He gasped in the living room for five minutes before changing his energy. He stomped his feet hatefully, then turned around and left.

In the following days, the imperial capital caused a bloody storm. Under the emperor's strict orders, the five generals who thought they were safe were imprisoned again, and this time they caused their families to suffer disaster, and the whole family was imprisoned. In just two days, their crimes were fulfilled and they were plotted to assassinate the princess! This shocking crime brought them the heaviest punishment in the Griffin Empire, and the whole family was killed!

The middle-class nobles in the five imperial capitals, with more than 200 people, all lost their heads, and the bloody punishment shocked everyone. In addition, the third prince was also severely scolded by the emperor and was sentenced to a year of imprisonment. This was the first time since the third prince was born that he had been so severely punished.

When the third prince and his group were in trouble, the eldest princess Catherine was indeed in water. The emperor personally sent someone to take her into the palace, comforted her with kind words, and gave her many gifts, and praised her a lot, and finally she was reinstated and still commanded the 100,000 troops.

The emperor's series of abnormal actions shocked the nobles of the imperial capital. They were familiar with politics and knew what was meant by these events, so they began to reconsider the issue of standing up. The nobles who originally planned to turn to the third prince immediately stopped, and those who had already fallen out began to retreat.

However, the truly shrewd people still remained unmoved. They were still waiting for Stephen, the Lightning Dharma Saint Stephen to stand up in person. Because in this incident, they all noticed one thing, that is, the old mage's pursuit of the Shadow Sword Saint. They obviously saw that these things were related to the old mage's pursuit of the Shadow Sword Saint, which indirectly proved the old mage's status and role in the Griffon Kingdom. So they all planned to bet with the old mage. As long as the old mage finally stood up to support Princess Catherine, they would bet without hesitation. Most of these people are the oldest and most experienced families in the imperial capital. Their direction can almost affect one-third of the power of the empire, which is almost a decisive force.

Lao Xie knew about their existence, and the old mage knew it. It was a pity that the old mage was a very orthodox human aristocrat after all, so until now, he still had a little prejudice against Catherine, a mixed-race man. Although he could fight his life to protect Catherine, he still did not make up his mind to make Catherine the queen of the Griffon Kingdom. The old mage was still silent and hesitant.

Lao Xie knew that this matter was too urgent. In fact, although the current emperor was not young, it was still some time before he finished, so he was not in a hurry to force the old master to express his opinion, let everything go first.

For Lao Xie, the most urgent task now is not internal fighting, but the threat of the Burning Legion. Therefore, after receiving the emperor's appointment, he quickly took Catherine to the front line with the teleportation array. Of course, in order to conceal the secret of the teleportation array, he still sent someone to pretend to be Catherine and set off from land. Although this trick is full of loopholes, as long as Cassia returns to the imperial capital to confront others, he will notice that Lao Xie appears at some wrong time. But now Lao Xie doesn't care about so many things, and he can cheat for a while.

After coming to the front line, Catherine immediately ordered the officers to gather for a meeting. Then, she met Carlos, who was left behind in the central army tent.
