Chapter 2718 Means
If anyone in the Zephyr Continent has the most dictatorial qualities, it is probably Carter Horton.
He is an old fox, insidious, cruel, and calculating.
Especially the last point, even the old Duke couldn't catch up with him.
I always thought that this kind of person would only fear for the world to be in chaos, but would not risk his life.
But the document in my hand changed my view - Carter Horton raised troops to attack the source of the disaster.
The information comes from the Intelligence Department, which is the most secret department directly responsible to Your Majesty. After I took over the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Fairy Queen specially made a decree that I would indirectly manage the Intelligence Department.
From then on, except for a very small number of designated confidential documents, all other confidential documents will be handed over to me for first-hand review.
Since I am an adventurer and don't have much time, I issued an order at the beginning of taking power: Except for information related to the fate of the country, the rest will be independently handled by the Intelligence Department.
For a long time after that, there was no news from the Intelligence Department, and I gradually forgot about this department.
It wasn't until I saw the signature on the document again that I suddenly remembered that I was also responsible for commanding the Intelligence Division.
Since the Intelligence Department needs to be responsible to the two Majesties, all intelligence sources must be true and valid, with an accuracy rate of at least 80%.
Therefore, I believe the content of this message.
But I still don’t understand why Carter Horton did this?
If he attacks the source of disaster without authorization, isn't he afraid that disaster will break out of the ground, destroy the army, and destroy the country?
Puzzled, I put away the information and went straight to the palace.
After getting the information, the Elf Queen frowned deeply, looked at me with a deep gaze, and said three words: "Why?"
I am also confused and have no answer.
Then we teamed up and went to ask the Fairy Queen. The latter was stunned for a long time, put down the document, and murmured: "Isn't he crazy?"
I nodded, it was possible.
The cunning fox suddenly ran toward the shotgun. He could only be seeking death. There was no way to explain this possibility except that he was crazy.
But what confused me was not his behavior, but the reasons for it.
Why would he do this?
Is it despair for future generations? Hatred of the family? Confused about the future?
The mystery is like a big net, covering my thoughts and leaving me with no time to think about them.
"Xiaoyi?"
"Xiaoyi!"
Two shouts woke me up, and I looked up blankly: "Ah? Grandma, did you call me?"
The Fairy Queen said: "Yes, I have something to ask you."
"Excuse me."
"Do you have a private intelligence organization in Airei City?"
After hesitating, I nodded and said, "Yes."
She stared at me and said in a deep voice: "Have you received any news?"
I shook my head: "No, there has been no news for several months."
The Fairy Queen nodded and sighed.
The Elf Queen, who was meditating on the side, suddenly asked: "Do you still remember the content of the last communication with you?"
After thinking about it for a long time, I finally remembered and said, "It's about the second son of the Carter family, and"
"And what?" the Elf Queen asked.
"And Carter Horton is forming another army." Suddenly, my eyes lit up: "Army!"
The two queens looked at each other, and the Fairy Queen said solemnly: "As expected, Carter Horton had already started making preparations at that time."
"What are you preparing for?" I asked in confusion: "Attacking the source of disaster?"
Then he shook his head and said: "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible, the source of the disaster has not been dug out yet!"
"If we haven't dug it out, we can't arrange it in advance?"
The Fairy Queen turned to me with a faint smile.
I was dumbfounded and shocked.
Could it be that.
"Have you guessed it?" The Fairy Queen said solemnly: "It is not difficult to create disasters. Based on the last disaster, it is certain that there are many sources of disasters in the Gobi, but the depth of the seals is different."
I thought hard: "But why would he do this?"
"This is the crux of the problem." The Fairy Queen looked slightly solemn: "What good will the resurrection of the disaster do to Airei City, or Carter Horton?"
The Elf Queen shook her head slightly.
I thought about it for a while and shook my head.
Resurrection of disaster is not a good thing for any country.
Especially the three countries rooted in that continent are even more deadly.
Collisions between countries may cause heavy casualties, but they are very limited. At least there will be no disaster of annihilation of the country. But disasters are different. Disasters have no fear of life and death. They are just some small monsters that look quite powerful. As a result, the Destroyer Legion suffered heavy casualties. Hiss!
Taking a breath, I asked in surprise: "Could it be that Carter Horton's target is my Destroyer Legion?"
"It's possible," the Fairy Queen nodded, "but it's unlikely."
Rolling my eyes, I asked again: "If not, what would it be?"
"Drive the tiger away and devour the wolf."
The Fairy Queen's eyes flashed sharply.
"Driving a tiger to devour a wolf?" I couldn't help but laugh: "Impossible. No matter how conceited Carter Horton is, he will never believe that he has the ability to control disasters."
The Elf Queen suddenly realized: "You mean, he can sacrifice a small part to achieve the majority?"
"exactly."
The Fairy Queen nodded and said: "Sacrifice a small part, attract the disaster to Cyber City or York City, and let them face this headache."
"Disasters are merciless. They destroy the city at sight and kill people at sight. This lady must have lost all her conscience!"
"Sacrifice a small part, keep the majority, and weaken the combat power of two countries in one fell swoop. Carter Horton made this move well!"
The Fairy Queen praised.
I was helpless: "Why are you still praising him?"
"Why can't you praise him?" the Fairy Queen asked back: "From the perspective of the monarch, Carter Horton is not only ambitious, but also bold and bold, and he is a man who does big things."
"But what he did was too shameful."
"This is just your family's opinion. For him, the most useful, shortest way, and the least loss is the best." The Fairy Queen snorted coldly: "Forty years ago, he did this. Unexpectedly, four Ten years later, here we go again.”
"What?" I was shocked.
Listen to this, Carter Horton has done this unscrupulous thing more than once?
Then, the Fairy Queen narrated this unknown history.
It is said that forty years ago, Carter Horton was young and promising. In his twenties, he not only became a father, but also ascended the throne of the Lord of Airui City and became the "Heaven" of Airui City.
Not long after he ascended the throne, he had a serious disagreement with the Orc King's father, the former Orc King, over the Gobi mineral deposits.
In order to obtain the mineral deposits and take revenge on the Orc King, he coerced and lured some poor adventurers on the border of Darsay City, dressed them up as Darsay City troops, lurked in the border town of Airui City, and waited for the opportunity to take action.
This wait lasted more than three months.
