Chapter 464: It’s Hard to Lead the Team, Regent
The emergency situation Lilith mentioned was quickly confirmed twice by the Intelligence Analysis Center.
Dominic Servo, a veteran nobleman of the Star Dragon Empire, the authentic old Saint-Saunière Zhengxing Dragon Banner, and former commander of the old emperor Frederico Rosa Leon's avant-garde fleet, confirmed that he was attacked while inspecting the territory. .
The VIP protection vehicle he was riding in was directly hit by multiple HCP heavy particle cannons, and only a small amount of vehicle frame remains were left at the scene.
The accompanying convoy and escort troops were also wiped out in the ensuing battle. The surviving escort soldiers and family members were also executed after the battle and their bodies were exposed in the wilderness.
After the surrounding local garrison troops and an orbital paratrooper dropped from the air arrived, the extremists who launched the attack disappeared after gathering the bodies of their fallen comrades and damaging them with multiple plasma grenades.
During this process, the reconnaissance satellite network in the orbit of the colonial planet 'Sera's Glory', the fiefdom that Dominic Servo was patrolling, suffered a large-scale malfunction. It was suspected that it had been attacked by an electronic warfare virus of unknown origin, so that it started all over again. In the end, the movements of extremists were not captured from space.
This group of extremists, who were clearly well-trained and most likely had military service backgrounds, left no clues except for equipment abandoned by them in many places.
As for the abandoned equipment, it was no surprise that all information that could be traced to its source was destroyed.
In short, highlight a major.
According to the current 'official news' released by the Star Dragon Empire's Noble Affairs Department, Dominic Servo, his family and entourage were attacked by a group of extremist organizations known as 'The Lightless Ones' who have long been launching terrorist attacks against the royal family and nobles. attack.
The main members of this organization are basically composed of retired soldiers, defected family soldiers, debtors, and a small number of civilians. They are all people who are dissatisfied with the current rule of the royal family and nobles in the empire. Many of them even have criminal records.
At the same time, according to the long-term investigation of the intelligence department, there is another mysterious force behind the "Lightless One", which is providing various support including but not limited to funds, materials, weapons and equipment, and professional training.
As for the current public opinion in the aristocratic circles of the Star Dragon Empire, in addition to one-sided expressions of wanting to completely eradicate the 'Lightless Ones', there are also some voices speculating on the mysterious force behind the 'Lightless Ones'.
Some people dug up the "old accounts" of Norton II's previous conflicts with a group of veteran nobles such as Dominic Servo, and secretly speculated whether Norton II was the mysterious force that supported the "Lightless Ones"
After reading the information compiled by the Intelligence Analysis Center and Lilith, Amber couldn't help but shake his head. Although he had never heard of the organization "Lightless Ones" in the game - indicating that it was indeed just a "Little Karami", or He exited at the speed of light without leaving any records.
But he can be sure that the force behind the 'Lightless One' is definitely not Norton II, because with this man's style, even if he does set up a similar organization, it will be an assassination route, and he will only attack at the right time. Start with the main goal.
Instead of destroying the entire convoy with great fanfare like now, for fear that others would not know who did it.
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, this is obviously someone in the regent's team who is causing trouble. The key is that public opinion can easily be led astray."
Amber said: "Almost perfect motivation and timing, and the Regent is also strong enough to provide support to this extremist organization. If it is a core member of the 'Regent Party', it will also discover the attack of this 'Lightless One'" The target is the same people Norton II wants to deal with."
"Master is saying that the old nobles in the regent's party are behind the scenes and are trying to blame the regent?"
"If it's just a guess I asked, that's what I think." Amber nodded. Although his words were quite conservative, in fact, he was no longer a 'guess' but a 'certainty' in his heart.
"Is it possible that the princess party did it? This incident is used to divide the power of the regent?"
Lilith also said that as a digital being, she has great advantages in information collection and analysis, and it is easy for Amber to provide some useful information.
"This possibility cannot be ruled out, but it is indeed unlikely. The imperial royal family - or the heir to the legal system, directly attacks the old nobles of the empire? If this is proven by evidence, the risk of backlash is definitely not something Agnes can do. Resistant."
Listening to Amber's words, Lilith nodded. Then she seemed to see something interesting and said with a smile:
"Master, I also found an interesting statement, but not many people pay attention to it. It is said that the 'Lightless One' may have something to do with our Atlas."
"What the hell?"
"Some people think that the suicide combat boats trying to attack the flagship of the Servo family fleet in the orbit of the 'Glory of Sera' colony are very similar to the heavy armored combat boats we equip, so they wonder if the Atlas Group is trying. Intervene in the situation of the Star Dragon Empire. Hahaha, these people have really rich imagination~"
By the end, even Lilith herself laughed.
"You have to follow the basic rules when fishing in troubled waters, okay? If we really interfered, would the family flagship in his orbit be able to stop intact?"
Amber didn't even bother to take the time to take a second look at such nonsensical remarks. He looked at the compiled report and thought for a moment before looking at Lilith again.
"Lilith, Dominic Sevo is a hereditary noble, right? Check who will be the heir to the Sevo family after this round of attacks?"
"The search is complete, Master~" Lilith's eyes flashed, and then she found the answer Amber wanted in a few seconds.
When the strong artificial intelligence saw the heir and the relevant information, she also smiled with a hint of sudden enlightenment.
"Arthas Sevo, the fifth son of Count Dominic Sevo, wow~ this guy is still strong and healthy."
Lilith showed the relevant information to Amber, and then continued:
"He is the only one in the Sevo family. He had an accident some time ago and has been recovering from his injuries, so he did not participate in this family tour.
According to the clues I found on some non-public networks, Arthas Sevo once had close contacts with a group called the 'Cloak Society'."
"Huh? 'Cloak Society'. So this point is established?"
Amber was stunned when he heard this familiar name, and then the 'Dead Memory' began to attack him. It was a long and boring, extremely difficult, and the final reward was a serial task that made people faint.
"Tsk tsk tsk, it's hard for Norton II. People's hearts were scattered from the beginning, and the team couldn't be led at all"
