Chapter 248

After the holidays, the student movement has almost come to a standstill, and at this moment, only Elsa and a few remaining people are on duty in the student union building.

Orson walked directly to the office where Elsa was responsible. When he opened the door of the office, Orson saw Elsa resting in front of the case. Opposite her, Avro was also sitting there, helping Elsa with the processing. holding the file.

When Orson saw this, he frowned and looked at Avro.

"Are there so many documents for the holidays?"

Afro was surprised when he saw Orson coming in, and then after hearing what Orson said, he said helplessly:

"There are not many documents for the holidays, but this is a special case for us. Due to the war in the city, many students cannot freely enter and leave the Imperial College, so the purchase and distribution of supplies require manual counting... In addition, Elsa's recent mood It wasn’t very good, so I came to help her..."

When Orson heard this, he actually understood.

As for Odysseus' death, there is still no conclusion. As Odysseus' daughter, Elsa was even accused of murdering her father because of Alsace's rejection. She was not even able to attend the hastily held funeral. .

As a child, it is also a great sadness not to be able to attend the funeral of your parents.

At this time, after hearing the conversation between the two, Elsa also woke up in a daze.

When she saw Orson standing at the door, Elsa was stunned for a moment, and then quickly patted her face.

After confirming that she was not dreaming, Elsa said in surprise:

"Orson! When did you come back?"

"When can't I go back to Imperial College?"

Orson said this and found a chair in the office to sit down.

"Tell me about recent events."

After hearing what Orson said, Elsa also knew the purpose of his return, so

She spoke with some embarrassment:

"Oson, you may think it's a bit outrageous, but...what I'm going to say next is true."

"Um."

When Orson heard this, he nodded, indicating that he was listening carefully.

Next, Elsa recounted everything that happened that night from the perspective of the palace magician.

Originally, when the court magicians were stationed at the Imperial College, the Imperial College specially arranged a rest area for the staff. Because the capacity of the Imperial College itself was large enough, and it was a holiday, there was a lot of room for the staff in the rest area, so this The palace magicians moved in there.

For a long period of time that followed, both parties kept their distance from each other.

However, that night, a few drunken students ran to the residence of the court magicians to cause trouble, disturbing their rest. Several court magicians who couldn't stand it started arguing with them.

As a result, during the argument, those people suddenly foamed at the mouth, fell to the ground, and eventually died.

The magicians detected toxins in their bodies.

Either the wine they drank before was poisoned, or they had taken the poison a long time ago.

The court magicians did not hide these corpses, but reported them to the academy's council.

By the next day, the whole school knew about it.

After listening to Elsa's description, Orson touched his chin, and then said:

"This is an obvious frame-up incident, but for this kind of thing, the court magicians can't rule out the suspicion."

"The most important thing is that some classmates were dissatisfied with them, and this incident happened after they came here, so regardless of whether they are suspected or not, the students will reject them."

"That's right!" Elsa was convinced.

"So we have no choice now, and I don't know what to do."

"Olivia was still there a few days ago, but now Olivia is gone. I am an office director, and even if I am called a princess, they will not obey me."

Elsa said helplessly.

"It's just that I didn't know that they would actually invite you back."

With that said, she looked up at Orson again.

"By the way, Orson, your return this time, does it mean that our control area has been connected with the Imperial College?"

"If that's the case, should I come back? Wouldn't it be better to just ask the court magicians to withdraw to our base?"

"Eh? Then...how did you get here?"

"I have my own way."

Orson said pretending to be mysterious.

…

On the other side, the disguised Orson just looked up at Alsace, showed a weird smile, and then fell down on his back.

His physique is 90% similar to Orson. Under the cover of the soldier's helmet, it's really hard to tell whether he is Orson.

But when he really saw the facial features, Alsace knew immediately that he had been tricked.

He was fooled, and the one who intercepted and killed was the fake Orson. The real Orson has probably entered the Imperial Academy by now.

Alsace was furious. He was about to ask the substitute in front of him, but he didn't expect that the substitute had lost his breath.

Langdon knelt down and put his hand to the tip of the substitute's nose, confirming that the substitute was not breathing. After double-checking that it was not a suspended animation, he turned back to look at Alsace and shook his head.

"Is this some kind of evil spell?"

Alsace asked in confusion as he watched the man who was still upright suddenly fall down.

"It's not like that." Langdon frowned and shook his head.

"He must have taken some kind of poison. Just now, he died from the poison."

With that said, Langdon opened the other person's mouth and scraped around the inside of the mouth with his gloved index finger. Sure enough, a bunch of black things hung out.

"poison."

Langdon spoke succinctly.

"In order to prevent us from interrogating him, the other party prepared poison in advance."

"..."

Arthas was furious when he heard this.

Why does it feel like every step I take is planned by Orson.

"What should we do? Orson should have entered the Imperial Academy by now."

"It doesn't matter. As long as the communication between Imperial College and the outside world is blocked, wouldn't Orson be able to get out?"

At this time, Langdon proposed a plan to remedy the situation.

"...That's right."

Arthas nodded.

Although there is no way to capture Orson directly here, when Orson leaves the command position, the strength of the coalition forces will definitely be greatly reduced.

As long as he ensures that Orson stays in the Imperial Academy, it doesn't matter if he stays there for the rest of his life.

After all, apart from Orson, Alsace had never been afraid of anyone on the battlefield.

"Then... just send my order to seal off the Imperial College and put pressure on the council. Now the Imperial College is only allowed in but not out."

Alsace looked at the guards beside him and gave his order.

"clear."

Chapter 57: Give me back my legion! (4K)

On the other side, the main force of the Imperial Army was only three days away from the city of Saint Laurent. Scaloni and Alsace maintained constant contact every day and knew each other's situation.

On his way back to Saint Laurent today, he planned to hold a meeting among the officers in advance to stabilize military morale.

After all, the imperial army is very likely to attack the residents of Saint Laurent City next, so they must give their men a dose of vaccination in advance to prepare them to suppress and control the soldiers' emotions.

After all, if we don't do that, things could easily happen to the army.

Mutinies and rebellions are fine, but I am afraid that the army at the bottom will completely lose control.

Scaloni was the last one to come to the conference hall. He passed over the middle and senior officers and sat on the main seat. Then he looked at everyone and revealed his purpose for holding this meeting.

"Everyone, this meeting is held when we are approaching the city of Saint Laurent to talk about something. As we all know, the city of Saint Laurent is now divided into two parts by armed forces. A part of the people were beguiled by the thieves and joined the rebellion against His Majesty the Emperor. In the process, what we have to do is to wipe out all these rebellious officials and traitors, but in the process, if there is resistance from the bewitched people, I also hope that my soldiers can wield the sword in their hands. "

Hearing Scaloni say this, a general raised objections.

"General Scaloni, I think it would be better for the army to get less involved in the affairs of the royal family. You and I now know that your son-in-law has become the emperor of the empire. We all understand that you love him, but let me, a native of Saint Laurent, Man, take action against my compatriots, I’m sorry, I can’t do it.”

"If it is His Majesty the Emperor's order, of course we will abide by it, but now that the situation is complicated, I think the military should be more insistent on protecting its bottom line."

Another general also spoke.

They usually rank as generals in the imperial army. They are considered to be at the same level. They only differ due to the emperor's orders and the tasks they are responsible for in the war.

Therefore, it is understandable that everyone does not buy Scaloni's account.

After all, Scaloni had just lost the battle before, and it was entirely thanks to Alsace that he was able to return to the army and take power. Why should he order these old men?

After suffering a few defeats, their mood became even more so.

"..." Scaloni looked extremely uncomfortable when he heard this.

He had thought that these people would disobey him, but he did not expect that they would show up so quickly.

As a result, Scaloni had no choice but to move the giant Buddha out of Alsace.

"Everyone, I am convening this meeting not for negotiation, but for an order. You are all soldiers. It is your natural duty to obey orders. You are also generals appointed by the emperor himself. You carry the royal family's expectations of you. Now the royal family is in trouble. You don’t go to rescue, but you still think you can stay out of it!”

Scaloni questioned the people in front of him, but he didn't expect that they didn't buy it at all.

One of them even sneered.

"Oh, of course our military ranks were appointed by His Majesty the Emperor, but His Majesty, the previous Emperor, this time His Majesty didn't even find out the cause of the late Emperor's death. He couldn't wait to exercise his power before he gave us a reasonable explanation. ?”

Scaloni slammed the table and stood up.

"Modius! Don't think that since you became a general a few years before me, you can rely on your old age here!"

"What? Ask everyone here, who is not more senior than you? Isn't it you, the emperor's father-in-law, who bullies others?!"

The general named Modius also stood up after being named, not afraid of Scaloni at all. At the same time, the other generals present also lowered their heads at this moment, and no one stood up to persuade.

Scaloni had a hot temper, and when he saw Modius say this, he also lost his mind.

"This is an order from His Majesty the Emperor, as

If you disobey orders, hand over your military power, and I will make the obedient person the leader of the army! "

"Scaloni! You will only make the army a sharp sword in the hands of the tyrant!" Modius said.

"Our eyes are sharp and our minds are clear. We still see all the things Alsace did when he came to the throne! The reason why we obeyed the orders before was to see clearly what Alsace is. But now, let me tell you clearly, it would be better to let the country be destroyed if it is called into the hands of people like Alsace! "

Hearing Modius' words, Scaloni rushed to him in anger.

"What? Are you going to kill me? Or are you going to take away my military power?"

Modius said threateningly.

At this time, the other generals also raised their heads and watched Scaloni's every move.

Everything seemed to be warning Scaloni that once he dared to take action, his status in the army would cease to exist.

Scaloni finally calmed down at this time, and then he glanced at all the generals present.

A desolate emotion suddenly welled up in his heart.

"You have already discussed it and are going to impeach me at this meeting, right?"

No one answered.

After a long time, the most senior general in the army slowly spoke:

"Scaloni, I have watched you grow from a sergeant to a general at the same level as me. We have all seen your abilities. You have won many battles and your record is among the best in the army. We are all very proud of it. respect you."

"But now, things are different."
