Ogyust said, "That's right. The fake Emperor has been captured by the Empire's army. The conservative aristocrats' camp can be said to be close to being wiped out... I can't even become the leader of the conservative aristocrats, let alone ascend to the throne. Of course, there's no way I can stay here indefinitely."
"The intelligence team has to take responsibility for the failure of the plan this time."
Deputy squad leader Richard's face was expressionless as he said calmly, "As an Awakened, we were made a fool of by the spiritual world. We didn't even know when the Imperial Army came and surrounded the gold mine. Andre, everyone needs an explanation."
"Agreed." The leader of the support team, Alberta Gladley, added.
"The intelligence team is indeed responsible for the failure this time. After we return, the Newcastle family will pay the corresponding price. However, now is not the time to pursue responsibility. The most important thing is to unite and find a way to break out of this situation. "
Andre's face was cold as he continued, "Also, Lord Richard Kwill, shouldn't you be the happiest person after the failure of the original plan?"
"What do you mean? I don't understand." Richard frowned.
"Our original plan was for the conservative nobles. As a unified faction, it's the most beneficial for the squad leader. After all, his identity is there. As for the other factions, the Imperial Army mixed in with the intelligence team, the drows mixed in with Camille, and the Plague Territory mixed in with the deputy squad leader … It can be said that they all serve the unification of the conservative nobles. "
After a pause, Andre continued, "Now that the conservative nobles have little hope, our strategic focus has shifted. Out of the three existing factions, the most suitable choice was the Plague Territory. As a 'Calamity General', you naturally have the unique conditions to join the deputy squad leader. If this unification is successful, your war contribution will be even higher than the squad leader's, and you'll get better class manuals! "
At this point, Andre's lips curled into a mocking smile. "With the deputy squad leader's vision, you must have seen this long ago, right? You might even be secretly happy. "
"Haha, Andre, what you're saying isn't meaningful at all. I wholeheartedly hoped that the original plan would succeed. Now that the plan has failed, you can only shift the focus to my side. You can't blame me, right? "Richard Kwill smiled.
"Don't be happy too early, Deputy Squad Leader," said Andre coldly. What we're facing isn't just the Empire. Those spirit realm beings are just pawns. And the chess player standing behind the emperor! If you're not careful, the chances of your backup plan failing are extremely high. "
Vice class monitor Richard curled his lips. "Chess player? Why didn't I see it? The way I see it, in order to cover up your own incompetence, you pushed the reason for your failure to the Awakened from the opposing faction. If there is such a so-called 'chess player', why didn't I see one in the gold mine battle? "
Knock knock.
Ogyust knocked on the table. "Richard, if you talk to Andre like that again, don't blame me for throwing you out. Bullsh * t, the situation is clearly in your favor, yet you're still chasing after us … At most, we'll just break up and return to our own territories to search for the next opportunity to unify the continent. "
Vice Class Rep Richard's expression changed slightly, but he didn't say anything else.
Camille raised her hand and said, "There are indeed hostile Awakened. The two members of the suppression group who cut into the drow camp with me can testify that all three of us have seen each other. "
"Why didn't I hear you mention it before? You're hiding key information! "Alberta, the leader of the support group, wanted to put the blame on Camille.
Camille didn't want to be blamed. She smiled softly and said, "After I encountered the hostile Awakened, I reported this information to Mr. Andre, the leader of the intelligence group, on the same day. As for you, I don't seem to have the need to tell you, do I? "
"Hmph." Alberta, the leader of the support group, snorted.
Seeing that the two team leaders were about to quarrel again, Andre felt very powerless.
The members of Class 129 of the Divine Court Training Camp came from different territories. They all had their own agendas, and their cohesion was very poor.
It would be fine if everything went smoothly, but once they encountered setbacks, internal conflicts would quickly magnify. It wasn't a solution to only rely on Ogyust's prestige to suppress them.
"Don't quarrel …" Andre sighed and said, "Don't you want to know more about this chess player behind the scenes?"
The basement quieted down.
"You've found out?" Camille was the first to ask.
"Sort of," Andre said faintly.
Andre said faintly, "When the members of the intelligence group were expelled, they passed on the last piece of information to me. The person who led the team to expel them was a Awakened named Cecilia. She was a leader of the archers. In the past two days, I visited the natives of the Xisha Province and accidentally learned that this Cecilia was a noble from the Northland Province. She was very famous in the Gorse Empire and had participated in the Northland Remnant War.
"Everyone knows, right? Under the instigation of the Lord of Plagues, the Northland Remnant War once broke out with the Gorse Empire. "
"I know. Isn't this one of the background stories of the Cain Plane?" Richard, the vice leader, said.
"No, this isn't a background story. It happened in a war that Awakened participated in. Our early preparations neglected this point!"
Andre said. "In the war, in addition to Cecilia, who was known as the 'White Rose,' another noble shone brightly. His name was Dior S Kail Bloom. He was the heir to a fallen noble territory.
"Originally, this guy named Dior was a good-for-nothing. He couldn't even maintain his territory. But when the war came, he was like a different person. He raised an army to eliminate bandits, investigate the Necromancy Plague, and even annexed another territory controlled by the Lord of Plagues. In the end, he even killed the commander of the Remnant War, Chief Absolom Herzley. Because of his cruel methods, he was known as the 'Cold-Blooded Devil of the Northland' … "
Andre looked around at everyone. "What does this experience remind you of?"
"Wow, this Dior is definitely an Awakened," Ogyust said, stroking his chin.
Andre nodded his head. "That is right. He is a very powerful Awakened. During that war, he had obtained a lot of benefits. The biggest benefit he obtained was a 'quasi-territory'!"
Hearing the words' quasi-territory ', everyone in the basement was shocked.
"Is he really that abnormal? He even got a quasi-territory. "
"This guy must be from the Starlink. I don't know which large territory he is the heir to," Andre said faintly.
Andre said indifferently, "We chose the Cain Dimension as the grand unification trial plane and have already sent out a note to the major forces of the Starlink. If this Awakened comes from a major force of the Starlink, they will definitely raise objections to us — because the grand unification of the Cain Dimension violates their important interests."
"But we didn't get any feedback. Instead, we were caught off guard. What does this mean? There are two possibilities. First, he comes from a major force that opposes the Celestial Court. He knows that verbal objection is useless, so he simply sabotaged our grand unification plan secretly. Second, he is not the heir of a major force of the Starlink at all. He is just an Awakened from a small force with excellent strength and excellent luck. "
"No matter which possibility it is, we have to play with him." Ogyust laughed.
"That's right. That's why our next target is here." Andre suddenly pointed at the north of the Gorse Empire.
