Chapter 1,150 Duke Rizal’s Arrangements
Regarding the news that the Holy Sword Society was targeting him, Duke Kawei did not disclose any further details. In fact, he didn't know any better.
The Holy Sword Society is a secret to most people, or they only hear about it in stories. Few people know that this organization actually exists and is... powerful.
After all, the members are all recognized by a member of the Haggiri clan and become their contemporary masters. If you are not a strong person, you cannot do this. And such a strong person gets Hakiri, that is, strength is strengthened. Looking at the entire Lost World, such people are rare. On the one hand, because there are not many Hakiri in existence, the number of members of the Holy Sword Club has always been quite rare.
Since it's not an organization so big that everyone can join, it naturally follows a mysterious route, and fewer people know about it.
And is it a good thing for such an organization to target itself? It's impossible no matter how you think about it.
This can be seen from the old Duke's introduction to the contemporary Holy Sword Society just now. The first is that only approved people can use Hakiri. Who approves? Is it approved by Haggiri or the "people" of the Holy Sword Club?
Don't look at the noisy hakakiri in your hand. If you don't talk every day, it's like you will die. But someone still remembers that there are only so many talking Haggiris. When he was fighting against the Insado in the hands of Demon Prince Azad, his own Hakiri was able to beat the unable Insado to the point of almost having a stroke, even though Hakiri had no brain.
Since only the holder can talk to Hakiri, approval or disapproval is not a person’s final decision. This leaves room for maneuver. Just like what earthly religions say, are they really said by gods, or are they just said by humans?
There is also the second point mentioned by the old Duke: 'When I get the news, I will recycle the box cutter. ’ It feels like you don’t give people a chance to say no. Regardless of whether the original holder is recognized by the Hakiri in his hand, the people of the Holy Sword Club can take it away if they want.
At this moment, someone really hopes that his guess is wrong. Maybe this mysterious organization in Midi is actually very easy to get along with, and it is not the kind of arrogant character that has gathered many of the biggest bosses in the world. But there's no point worrying about that right now.
After saying this last thing, Duke Kawei had no intention of retaining anyone anymore, and his attitude was much colder than his familiar personality in the past. I don't know if it's because I just lost a son, or if this whole thing really left a grudge. But someone didn't want to continue thinking about this problem, he just wanted to go back to sleep. Let’s talk about everything after we’ve had enough sleep.
Rather than someone falling asleep, there are many people who don't sleep well.
The flames soaring into the sky at the Grand Duke's residence in the royal capital of the Gewana Empire made many nobles who were not very upright worry about whether they would bring disaster to Chiyu. After all, political liquidation is difficult to end as long as the knife is used. Unless one of the two opposing parties disappears completely. As for whether to die or surrender, no one cares.
Don’t just look at the burning of Grand Duke Kawei’s mansion and think that he is the loser. The really feared Grand Duke is still alive and kicking outside.
Even if Lord Rizal burned that house and killed all the people inside, it would only be to vent his anger. Revenge for the loss of the Duke's Guards and Auxiliary Soldiers was meaningless to the overall situation. Unless he catches Duke Kawei's legitimate son and heir, Marquis Farshid. But a whole night passed, and there was no news that Marquis Farshed had fallen into the hands of Duke Rizal. There were only many specious rumors.
If the Marquis is really captured, the Rizal family will definitely publicize it vigorously. In addition to having the hands and feet of the Kawei family tied, it is also a powerful proof to win over other nobles. It proves that the Rizal family will be the final winner in this struggle. Therefore, other families can safely stand and not wait beyond the time limit.
but no.
This kind of thing is not something that other cunning nobles can believe by just saying it in plain words. There is always some evidence, such as inviting the son of another grand duke to hang out at a noble banquet and showing it off, to prove to others that the hostage is indeed in his hands. If you can't do this, then no one will believe you if you promise any conditions, let alone let people take refuge.
Since he knew that it was useless, Duke Rizal did not do any unnecessary lobbying, but focused more on the escaped Marquis Farshed.
Magicians who can use teleportation magic not only have a limited teleportation distance, but most of these people are also under the control of the empire. Duke Rizal easily retrieved the data of these people and confirmed that they did not appear at the Grand Duke's Palace of Kawei to help the little brat escape.
As for the teleportation magic circle that can teleport over long distances, of course there is one in the capital of the empire, and it is listed as the target of immediate control. It is not necessary to completely ban the use, but it is easy to use the authority of the Imperial Chancellor who has not announced his dismissal to demand censorship of users.
As long as the escaping Marquis is not clear-headed, he will know that the method of teleporting the magic circle is not feasible. In fact, there was no news that the Marquis took this road.
Then what the other party can do is to flee and find a way to escape back to their own territory. Although each family's evacuation route is different and secretive, the connotation of escape is similar, nothing more than supply points, changing horses, disguises, etc. Therefore, even if they do not know the exact route, Duke Rizal's subordinates can still estimate the possible haunts of Marquis Farshid based on the power distribution of the Kawei family on the table.
It's true that the estimated range is very large, but unlike those who are on the run, those who are pursuing them don't care about making a big splash and being discovered. Therefore, the Rizalites mobilized all reserve manpower and manpower deployed in various places. Originally, these people might have just done some business in the local area and collected intelligence for the Grand Duke, but now they have become part of the team to capture Marquis Farshed.
In addition to the whereabouts of Marquis Farshed, there is another issue that everyone keeps silent about, but it is also a very serious issue. That is where the people from Duke Kawei's Palace in the imperial capital have gone.
It's normal for living people to run away. It is not a strange thing that the dead can run away in the lost land. But it is not a common thing for hundreds of living and dead people to disappear in the blink of an eye.
You know, in order to catch all the people in Duke Kawei's palace, the people arranged by Duke Rizal not only attacked the inside of the palace, but also were surrounded by people outside. But this attack plan was no different from a dragnet, but it lost everyone!
Who did it? How did you do it? Without finding the answer to this question, Lord Rizal only felt that the future of this battle was slim. So in the world of magicians, the Grand Duke caused an uproar just by asking questions.
In short, Mr. Rizal was afraid that the noise would not be loud enough and the momentum would not be strong enough. Everything is done except beating gongs and drums to publicize it everywhere. This naturally made the other nobles watching even more worried.
