Last Totem Novel - Chapter 599
Chapter 599 Game
Half an hour later, after the war ended, Tie Zha gathered his troops and occupied Heights 621. He held the prisoners and counted the spoils of war.
In terms of battle results, if one looked at it from the perspective of the four-sided alliance army, they would be able to obtain a huge victory and lose less than 1% of their battle losses, it would be almost negligible. However, from the point of view of the entire human race, the Thunderbird Legion was evenly divided. The Thunderbird Legion of over ten thousand people was almost completely annihilated.
However, before everyone could recover from the joy of victory, very unpleasant news came. So much so that they crushed the wine bottle with the Black Pig King on the spot. Bai Xiaotian and Big Beard cursed loudly. Yang Yong did not say a word, and his eyes were red. Obviously, he was extremely angry. Even Mu Qianhe, who was a female, couldn’t help but curse.
The commander of the Thunderbird Legion complained to the Dark Jungle Guards, who were in charge of the management of the Aurora Plane, that the four allied forces had viciously competed for merit points, causing them to lose the war and over 85% of their troops. They made three demands: first, to settle all the merits of the war under their names; Second, the spoils and prisoners of war were theirs; Third, severely punish the coalition forces of the four sides for their greed and make them compensate accordingly.
Upon hearing this news, Tie Zha felt his blood energy surge in his chest. He wished he could immediately lead his troops out and wipe out all the remnants of the Thunderbird Legion. Not only did the other party turn against him, he also repaid his kindness with a harrow.
Even though his lungs were about to explode with anger, he still calmed down. After all, he was no longer a fool in Tie Shan Town. If he killed the Thunderbird Legion now, even if he could kill them, he would only be right in front of them, adding an accusation of “exasperation, murder, and silence”.
Everyone was silent. Before they could figure out what to do next, Hildebrand’s video communication was received. He solemnly announced to Mu Qianhe and the others that he had decided on this matter, and that he would be responsible to the end to protect the interests of the four allied forces.
After hanging up, Hilbrand quickly wrote a report reflecting the actual situation of the war directly to the Supreme Military Command Council of the Battle of Aurora.
Tie Zha used Zhao Wenke, Jiang Xiao, and Bi Tianye’s intelligence networks to investigate the Thunderbird Legion’s background. About two hours later, the dark forces, which had the broadest coverage, returned the information they had gathered. There were numerous indications that the Thunderbird Legion was employed by the Black Wing Family, and all their merits would be settled by them. The supporter behind it was most likely Notting Mordleton, the Chosen One. It was precisely because of this that they dared to openly frame the allied forces of the four sides.
This war had severely injured three demon tribes, killing more than 5,000 people and capturing more than 2,000 people. The merit points involved had already exceeded 3 million. The rest of the battle items were worth more than 2 million gold coins, and it was worth the people behind them to interfere.
The Blackwing Clan was the crocodile at the top of the Silver City world, a side branch of the world’s number one noble, Mordleton. Facing such an opponent, everyone felt an unbearable pressure. A huge haze filled his heart, so heavy that it was hard for him to breathe. At this level, the truth or falsehood of the matter, right or wrong, was no longer important.
The only thing left was a political game. The winner writes history, the loser walks out with hatred.
However, the cards in Tie Zha’s hands weren’t very good …
He never imagined that saving someone with good intentions would not only be useless, but would instead be dragged into a huge vortex. If he wasn’t careful, he would be torn into pieces and would never recover from his calamity.
At the same time, just as Tie Zha and the others were frowning, in the floating city of Elk City, two figures were fiercely colliding in a luxuriously decorated manor with a low profile and a bedroom brimming with warm candlelight.
The air was filled with a strong hormonal smell that was intoxicating. The intermittent rambling echoed in the room.
“Ah … Ah …”
Amidst the flickering flames, a woman with a fiery figure was tightly clutching onto the bed frame made of copper pipes with both her hands, enduring a fierce impact. Her skin was as white as snow, and sparkling sweat was sprinkling everywhere. On the bedding, on the bed frame, on the floor …
The man behind her was incomparably handsome. His hair was like dazzling golden threads, and his eyes were like transparent emeralds. The muscular, well-defined, yet soft chest was swaying with an iron skeleton cross.
This man was Notting Mordleton, the Chosen One.
At this moment, beneath him was Shirley Christina, the assistant to the acting Marshal Eva Green!
After the battle, the two of them sat on the sofa in the bedroom, drinking the thick and mellow sea demon red wine while whispering and laughing.
“My little demon, after this war is over, I will officially propose to you.” Notting said softly as he looked at Xue Li affectionately.
“Really?” Xue Li blinked her beautiful big eyes and asked in disbelief.
“You will become the wife of the first successor to Blackwing City, the future Duchess.” Notting said solemnly.
“Honey, actually …” Shelly lowered her eyes, leaned against Notting’s shoulder, and drew circles around his sturdy chest. “I don’t care if I can become the Duchess. As long as I can be with you, I’ll be satisfied.”
The two of them were students of the Central Silver City Military Academy at the same time. They had known each other five years ago and had had some feelings for each other. However, after that, they separated and had less contact with each other. In this planar war, they met again at the conference table and began to revive. And this time, there were many benefits mixed in …
“By the way, who is that 100,000-ton Star Treasure Diamond for?” Notting suddenly asked.
“I’m only responsible for taking it out, but I’m not the one who will give it to.” Xue Li said. Her gaze was as calm as water, and she could not see any fluctuations. Even though she betrayed Eva’s interests, she did not dare to tell anyone about Tie Zha.
Not only would it involve too many things, it would also form a death grudge with Eva, but it wasn’t scary. The real scary thing was You Ge. Even if she really became the Duchess one day, she would not be able to withstand the hatred from the Temple Princess.
She knew very well that the princess could kill that man herself, but no one else could touch him.
At this moment, Tie Zha, who was in the command tent on the 621 Highland, was completely unaware that he had just brushed past Reaper. As long as Shelly wavered a little, Notting would be able to tell. In the midst of her happiness, under the soft and hard foam, perhaps Xue Li would lose her position. At that time, not only himself, but everything related to him would be uprooted.
The brilliant fire seed that emerged from the surface of the water would always walk on the blade. Death was only a matter of the blink of an eye.
“Alright, let’s work harder and find that person.” Notting said.
“The evidence we have at present is enough to influence Lord Marshal Dai’s decision. There is no need to force her too hard.” Xue Li said worriedly. After all, Eva was the White Rose of the Temple, so offending her was not good for everyone.
“Alright, I’ll listen to you.” Notting said with a gentle smile, but he snorted coldly in his heart.
The daughter of a small noble, no matter how powerful she was, was still the daughter of a small noble. In the eyes of the Black Wing Family, they were nothing more than ants.
The next morning, the regular military meeting was held as usual. Notting took the report from Theater Commander 62, Hildebrand, and loudly questioned.
“Major General Hilbrand’s report is really puzzling …”
“One side is completely annihilated, while the other side is completely unharmed. There must be a problem here. We must send an inspection team over and thoroughly investigate!”
“In order to prevent people from viciously competing for merits during the war, they will do whatever they can to destroy the internal unity of mankind and affect the morale of the third party’s army.”
Facing Notting’s impassioned words, Eva expressionlessly asked, “Lord Notting, is a squadron leader of the expeditionary army not enough to prove the truth and truth?” “You are suspecting a devout knight,” she warned.
“The Dawn expeditionary army has long been rotten. Is this still a secret?” Notting’s face was cold and his tone was filled with resentment. “What else could they not do if they formed a party for selfishness, corrupted the law, and even dared to point fingers at the strategic resource pool?”
Eva leaned forward and quietly asked, “In Lord Enodding’s opinion, where should we send the censorship team?”
“Black Winged City is willing to uphold justice and send a censorship team to the frontlines to investigate, restore the truth of the matter, and punish the speculators of the war as they deserve.” Notting said loudly, his handsome face filled with righteousness. With that, he glanced at Matthew who was standing beside him. The latter immediately said, “Our Sparrow City is also willing to send an inspection team to intervene in the investigation.”
Eva raised her head and looked around. Her gaze was as calm as water and swept across everyone’s faces. Then, she said indifferently, “The internal affairs of the Dawn expeditionary army are not allowed to be interfered with by any third party.”
“I firmly oppose your suggestion.” She announced, her tone unquestionable.
“Second.” The commander-in-chief of the ground garrison, Samaranch, raised his hand in support.
Seeing the boss’s statement, the commanders of the garrison in the other theatres also expressed their support. This time, Randall Kriemans, Saint Zachary Solo, and Elijah Orlando also expressed their support for Eva’s decision. Anyone with good eyesight could tell that Notting was fighting for the interests of his family. Otherwise, who would have the time to pay attention to the conflict between the mercenaries?
The Heavenly Choosers were originally in a competitive relationship, but the Temple Princess was too powerful, forcing them to unite together. But at no time will they support each other in obtaining benefits. Moreover, the rankings of the great clans involved the glory of the clans, so it was impossible for them to make any concessions. It was too late to be happy, let alone support, when the other party was defeated.
“How about this …” Matthew stood up and suggested, “Major General Hildebrand will personally go to the scene of the war to make a detailed investigation report, restore the truth, and then discuss it.”
Eva pondered for a moment before finally agreeing.
Matthew’s suggestion definitely had his own plans. She could roughly guess what exactly it was, but in the current situation, both sides had to find a way out, so they had to sacrifice Hildebrand.
