Chapter 841 The Witness
In the study... Scolding me?
The second prince was a little puzzled for a while.
Knowing that he is powerless, so he can only be powerless and furious?This is too impatient, right?
Don't even want the dignity of the royal family?
"Hmph! What stupid brothers..."
The second prince gave a cold snort of disdain, and lowered his evaluation of the two of them a bit.
"I thought it would be a surprise for me to provoke that old eighth guy intentionally, but now it seems that I really think highly of them."
"Your Highness, let's eliminate the plans of the two princes ahead of time..."
"Let's put it on hold for now, if the other party doesn't take the lead, our teacher will be unknown. At this time, there is no need to completely anger the one above because of these two trash.
Anyway, they can't escape my palm. "The second prince sneered.
He picked up the wine glass again and shook it, his eyes darkened. "On the other hand, the ninth brother, who has been jumping around very happily recently."
The Ninth Prince has made frequent moves recently, and has also taken over a large number of contacts and resources controlled by the Emperor. It is rumored that His Majesty the Emperor intends to abolish the elders and establish the young, and pass the throne to the Ninth Prince.
Many aristocrats gathered around upon hearing the news, but they were quite powerful. They seemed to be the fourth largest faction after the Second Prince, Fourth Prince, and Eighth Prince, becoming a dark horse competing for the throne.
"But I have to enter now, don't you think it's a little too late? Father, he seems to be delirious and confused..."
After drinking the wine in the glass, the second prince's eyes flashed coldly.
"Pass on my order, take Lao Jiu first, and kill chickens to make an example to monkeys!"
"Yes! Your Highness!"
……
And just as the situation in the imperial capital was changing, the Iron Wall Fleet finally returned to the territory directly controlled by Grand Duke Horton after a long journey of nearly three months.
"Is the tail cleaned up?"
Viscount Iron Wall put down the communicator in his hand, and asked while putting himself on the commander's battle uniform.
"Yes, Lord Viscount, the secret room has been thoroughly cleaned to ensure that not even a single cell or DNA will be left." The adjutant was sweating a little on his forehead.
Killed a second prince's secret guard, and completely evaporated him from the world.
This is not playing with the heartbeat, it is simply playing with your life!
Although he didn't know what the Iron Wall Viscount was torturing the other party, but his intuition told him... this is very dangerous, extremely dangerous!
"Don't worry, you can treat this incident as if it never happened. If it is revealed in the future and someone comes to investigate this incident, I allow you to put the responsibility on me."
"Master Viscount, what are you talking about? This subordinate would rather die than betray you!" The adjutant looked righteous.
Viscount Iron Wall nodded noncommittally.
"Next, I will go to the Duke's mansion alone, and apologize to the Duke for the failure of this mission. After you lead the Iron Wall Fleet back to the station, you will repair it and wait for orders.
Remember, no one is allowed to move without my order.
If...if I haven't returned after three days, then you should lead the brothers and follow the orders of the Duke. "
Although the secret guard didn't say anything in the end, the abnormality he showed already explained the problem.
Charm... probably really exists!
Judging from the completely brainless appearance of the secret guard, his trip might be a narrow escape. If the operation fails, he naturally doesn't want these brothers who have followed him for many years to be buried with him.
The adjutant's heart skipped a beat when he heard such words, which seemed to be his last words.
"Master Viscount, this subordinate will go with you!"
Thinking of Lord Viscount's favor for his promotion, the adjutant's head became hot, and he blurted out immediately.
Viscount Iron Wall turned around, looked at him seriously, and then suddenly grinned.
"Okay!"
"Uh..." The adjutant's head froze, and Khan immediately came down.
This promises?
How can you say yes?
At this time, according to the routine, shouldn't you encourage me with emotion, then pat me on the shoulder and politely refuse, and finally leave a windy back in a cool and unrestrained way?
He wanted to give himself a big mouth in his heart.
Impulsivity is the devil!
"Hahaha!" Viscount Iron Wall suddenly burst out laughing.
Patting the adjutant on the shoulder, he waved his hands without looking back.
"I heard that you are going back to your hometown to get married this time. If there is a chance, I will go to the wedding!"
That back view is indescribably free and easy.
"Master Viscount..."
……
The Duke's mansion of the Duke of Horton, located on the third planet of the Horton galaxy, has a history of nearly a thousand years.
Although it is not as magnificent as Emperor Star, it still occupies nearly one-fifth of the planet's land and sits on an entire independent continent.
It took half a day, after passing through the checkpoints and confiscating all the weapons, the small shuttle that Viscount Iron Wall was riding was allowed to land on the tarmac.
When Duke Holden walked into the living room, he saw the Viscount Iron Wall with a straight back and a serious face.
"My subordinates see the Duke."
Seeing the gray-haired Grand Duke Horton, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Viscount Iron Wall's tone inevitably showed some fluctuation.
Duke Holden, who was keenly aware of this fluctuation, looked at Viscount Iron Wall with complicated eyes, and quickly restrained the emotion in his eyes.
"Well! Now that you're back, let's take a good rest for a while. It's been hard to go back and forth during this time.
As for the fleet, you don't have to worry about it, I will arrange for someone to take over. "
Hearing the icy tone that seemed to be concerned but lacked any trace of warmth, Viscount Iron Wall's heart skipped a beat, and he raised his head to look at Grand Duke Horton in surprise.
Why is he so tired, he weighs 180 pounds, and he still needs to be cared about?
This is obviously to cut his military power!
Even though he had expected that he would definitely be punished for failing the mission, taking his military power as soon as he came up was undoubtedly the worst situation.
It seems... the consequences of dealing with the secret guard in secret are even more serious than I imagined...
Have you touched a nerve with that person?
His eyes inadvertently passed the "Janice with Broken Arm" stone sculpture in the center of the living room, and the Viscount Iron Wall bowed his head and said.
"Yes! I have ordered the fleet to return to the station, and His Excellency the Duke can send someone to take over at any time. Speaking of which, I have not had a vacation for a long time. Thank you, Your Excellency Duke, for your compassion."
He didn't resist, because he knew that in the duke's territory, his little strength couldn't make waves at all.
Resisting with the fleet in hand is purely courting death.
He came here today, and he was not prepared to use force at all.
Seeing Viscount Iron Wall's cooperation without even a single question, Duke Horton finally smiled.
In this case... maybe I can even plead with His Highness.
It is impossible to continue to hold military power, at least, let him live...
"Your Excellency, Viscount Brutal is seeking an audience outside."
At this moment, the butler suddenly came in and said.
Brutal?What is he here for?
Looking at the Viscount Iron Wall who was sitting upright with his usual face, Duke Holden frowned.
He knew that Brutal and the Iron Wall Viscount were close friends, life and death friends, did they come here to intercede?
"Let him in."
Not long after, a burly man wearing military armor and a beard walked in, followed by a follower.
The person who came first saluted Duke Holden, "Black Flagship, Commander of the Second Squadron, Brutal, has met His Excellency the Duke."
"En!" Duke Holden nodded lightly.
"Not staying at your station, what are you doing here?"
"Hahaha! Your Excellency the Duke, forgive me. Didn't you hear that Alfonso was defeated, so he came here to laugh at him!
I really want to see what kind of superficiality it is that can make Alfonso crippled! "Bluto laughed heartily, and winked at Viscount Iron Wall.
The Iron Wall Viscount glanced at the other party with implicit gratitude.
That's right, this is the backhand he prepared today... a witness with a pivotal status.
Apart from being a staunch royalist like him in terms of political views, Brutus is also his life and death friend, one of the few people who can be trusted under the command of Grand Duke Horton.
Most importantly, he has another identity.
That is one of the commanders of the Horton galaxy garrison fleet!
