Broken wood mixed with stones fell to the ground with crackling, blood splashed near the two large pits, and a hole with a diameter of more than five meters appeared on the front wall of the mansion.
Confused Sonia just wanted to get up from the ground when a tingling sensation came from her collarbone, and a piece of broken wood pierced into her body. Compared with the three diplomats of the West Morrow Empire, she was considered lucky.
A large group of soldiers rushed into the mansion. After seeing the tragic situation in the mansion, they all looked at Su Xiao. Now Su Xiao is the highest-ranking imperial official present.
"The surrounding 5-kilometer area is sealed off, and all suspicious persons are captured alive regardless of the cost."
The long knife in Su Xiao's hand was sheathed, and his right arm was still numb. It was the first time he had experienced the power of a steam high pressure cannon. As far as he knew, there were at least a dozen of them hidden in Lurenfe Palace and Luna Monastery. thing.
Su Xiao didn't expect these Transcendents disguised as soldiers to find clues. In the current situation, there are only two groups who can do this kind of thing. One is the remnants of the Ninth Army, and the other is the West Morrow Empire.
As for why the West Morrow Empire attacked and killed the envoys sent by its own side, the reason is very simple. The envoy Nigal died in the capital of the Dawn Empire after splashing dirty water.
Of course, the West Morrow Empire doesn't care about the amount of compensation, but don't forget that it is a country with morals and cleanliness. Their citizens can endure local defeats on the battlefield, but they can't bear external compensation. Once the news of compensation is confirmed, citizens, businessmen, etc. They will all be dissatisfied with the royal family, and even some middle- and lower-level officials will have a grudge against the royal family.
The war between the two countries has not yet come, let alone the negotiations after the armistice. There is no doubt that the West Morrow Empire will make a big fuss about this matter, and it is not a fuss about the Dawn Empire.
There will be the current situation, and the old sage king probably thought of it a few days ago, so Su Xiao was asked to attend this meeting as a representative.
As for preventing this assassination, the old sage king and the moon goddess can certainly do it, but what's the point of doing that? Force the West Morrow Empire to pay reparations?
The West Morrow Empire is not a defeated country in the true sense. If it is urgent, the two countries will only continue to fight, and Su Xiao feels that the two countries are too tacit to understand, and they are probably planning something.
What really puzzled Su Xiao was, why did Luna send Sonia? Has this woman lost power with the Moon Goddess?
The mansion was sealed off within a few minutes, and 1,000 soldiers from the West Morrow Empire were disarmed, and their armor and weapons were confiscated.
A Transcendent from his side disguised as a soldier hurried to Su Xiao's side and whispered:
"My lord, all of Simolo's soldiers have disarmed, and their armors are all pure gold! Plated with iron-colored paint."
Hearing this report, Su Xiao was sure that this matter was definitely done by the West Morrow Empire, and it would not end easily.
"Confiscated."
"yes."
Su Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. He was worried that this matter was done by the remnants of the Ninth Army. In that case, the blame might be thrown on him.
From the very beginning, the West Morrow Empire was not prepared to make reparations on the surface. As for the three people who came, they were just victims, including the 1,000 soldiers. Unsurprisingly, they would all die on the way back.
The struggle for power is extremely cruel, not to mention the escalation to the open and secret struggle between the two countries.
The follow-up matters of the mansion were quickly dealt with. The remains of the three envoys were sent back to the Cimmerian Empire, and the body of the assassin was also found. In a tower 3 kilometers away from the mansion, the steam high-pressure gun had been destroyed. 15 people The assassins all committed suicide.
The 'miraculous' thing is that all the 15 assassins came from the Lordan Empire. After discovering this, the Dawn Empire sent a message to the West Morro Empire and the Lordan Empire respectively.
At noon that day, the West Morrow Empire received the news. The royal family there was furious. After personally sending people to collect evidence, they pointed the finger at the Lordan Empire.
The Dawn Empire also had the same attitude, and sent envoys to angrily denounce the Lordan Empire.
This made the Lordan Empire look confused. He was originally a melon-eating crowd, and he was too happy when the two neighbors had a conflict, but now the painting style changed, and the two powerful neighbors turned their heads and condemned him. Look at the meaning, It is not impossible to unite and fight against him.
In the evening of that day, Su Xiao learned the news. If there were no secret negotiations between the old holy king, the goddess of the moon, and the royal family of the West Morrow Empire, he would twist off the head of the little adjutant and use it as a stool.
This is obviously colluded in advance, what war reparations, the 53.9 tons of gold are simply bought.
The meaning of the West Morrow Empire couldn't be more obvious. Our two national strengths are similar, and we can't do anything in a short time, so we will unite the two. ??Kill that poor guy, and then fight it out, so as not to be taken advantage of by that poor guy, and get rid of both of us after the war.
Dawn Empire's answer was simple, okay, kill him.
After the envoy Nigal was killed, almost all the citizens believed that there must be conflicts between the two countries, but who would have thought that the most unlucky one would be the Lordane Empire.
The remains of the messenger Nigal had just been sent back to the West Morrow Empire, and he was immediately canonized as a hereditary earl, awarded the first-class honor of the empire, the honor of the heroic spirit, and the honor of the moon.
The dazzling operation of the old holy king, the goddess of the moon, and the royal family of Simolo stunned the Luodan Empire. People are sitting at home, and the pot comes from the sky, and it is a cauldron that is enough to kill them.
"So that's what happened!"
In Su Xiao's residence, the little adjutant slapped his thigh, and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. These people in power are really too dark. If they offend them, they really don't know how they died.
Su Xiao is more concerned about one thing than the Lordan Empire's back, that is, the West Morrow Empire has reached a complete reconciliation. As for war with the Lordan Empire, it is impossible in a short time. The two empires must start with trade. Exports are curbed to the Lordaeun Empire. For example, the Dawn Empire no longer provides advanced steam machinery, and West Morrow stops exporting minerals.
In a short period of time, the two empires will not join forces to attack the Lordain Empire, but will enter a real honeymoon period.
This means that the opportunity for the Old Saint King and the Moon Goddess has come, and this period is very suitable to eradicate the opponent, even though the follow-up matters on Yinghou's side have only been dealt with about 80%.
? Facts have proved that Su Xiao guessed correctly. The next morning, the old sage king summoned Su Xiao.
Lurenfe Palace, in the flower room in the South District.
The old holy king looked at Su Xiao from time to time like a thief, lest Su Xiao break his beloved flowerpot.
"You are somewhat sure of attacking Luna Monastery from the front."
The old sage king spoke and said something that made Su Xiao a little puzzled. He really didn't expect that the old sage king planned to attack the Luna Monastery head-on.
"It's almost impossible. There are more than 4,000 moon apostles stationed in the monastery, and the total number of steam guns and steam high-pressure guns is at least hundreds."
While Su Xiao answered in his mouth, he was thinking quickly in his mind.
"Really, what if I give you 6,000 superhumans and seal off that area for more than 10 hours?"
The old sage king put down the kettle in his hand, and just about to say something, he coughed loudly
