"Spiritual charm? Interesting! Then where did you hear this news?"
Grand Duke Holden's face was still calm, but his heart was full of killing intent!
"Where did this subordinate hear about it? You can report it to the Duke later, but now this subordinate wants to find out first, whether the Duke...is he under the control of others!"
The Iron Wall Viscount directly showed his cards this time.
"Alfonso, what nonsense are you talking about? How could the Duke be controlled by someone?"
Brutal was shocked, but he still couldn't believe it.
The Duke of Holden didn't talk about getting along with him day and night, but they often met.
Judging from his performance, Duke Holden has no abnormalities in his behavior and daily life, and he has not been hypnotized at all.
Is there really such a magical psychic power in the world?
But at this time, the followers behind him were already pale, and their legs were about to wobble.
What kind of fairy game is this!
At first, I thought that I was being pulled over to make soy sauce, at most, I was toasting a few bosses to show off my talents, but what did I hear?
The majestic Duke may actually be controlled by someone, and the one who stood up to question him was the Duke's most valued right-hand man...
Needless to say, this must involve open and secret struggles in the highest power circle of the empire.
I am already on the verge of death, frantically probing...
If possible, he really wants to turn into a little transparent and escape from this room right now...
"Brutal, I don't want to believe it either, but I'm even more unwilling to take risks! So today, I must figure things out!" Viscount Iron Wall said firmly.
In the Duke's power, Brutal has the right to speak under Duke Houghton, and with the Black Banner Guards in his hands, his status is very important.
As long as I can prove to him that the Duke of Horton is indeed under control, then the two of them will join forces to directly control the situation, and then slowly find a way to rescue the Duke.
"Me? Being controlled? Hehe!" Grand Duke Holden suddenly shook his head and laughed.
"Alfonso, I know you are dissatisfied with my supporting the second prince, but you shouldn't use such inexplicable reasons to force me to change my attitude.
Also, are you sure that the one being controlled...is not yourself? "
The words of Grand Duke Horton made several people in the hall stunned at the same time.
"I really want to ask, who have you come into contact with during this mission?
It is said that the enemy you faced this time is suspected to be backed by advanced civilizations. Are you sure that your spirit has not been affected by any unknown technology?
Even if you are not affected, are you sure that the news you heard is not a conspiracy deliberately used by the enemy to confuse the public and separate us? "
Grand Duke Holden had just had a flash of thought, and he had already thought of the key point of the matter.
The reversal of Viscount Iron Wall's attitude before and after was during the period when he was away from his own territory, and the only task performed by the other party during this period was the action against all things returning to one meeting.
Then it is very possible... the news leaked from the All Things Return to One!
Viscount Iron Wall was taken aback when he heard the words, obviously he didn't expect the other party to beat him up.
Moreover, it actually makes sense...
If it wasn't for the fact that the second prince's secret guard had an abnormality, the Viscount Iron Wall might really be shaken.
Indeed, compared to the reclusive Archduke Horton, who has just come into close contact with a powerful foreign civilization, and who is suspected of possessing advanced technology, the Iron Wall Viscount is more likely to be controlled.
The plot of "Alien Invasion" in Woolf Empire is not just an imagination in film and television works, it has happened more times in history than two hands can count.
The Empire even has an emergency response department specifically for this kind of situation, similar to the "Men in Black".
Brutal looked at Grand Duke Holden, and then at his friend who was at a loss for words, feeling a little dazed for a moment.
Now the two sides are questioning each other, and they both come up with decent guesses, which...
Who is the good guy?
Looking at the suspicious Brutal, the Iron Wall Viscount knew that it would be impossible for the loyal Brutal to stand by him based on some guesses.
"My lord, since we all think that we are not under control, why don't we all take a small test to prove our innocence?"
Grand Duke Holden's eyes flashed, he looked at Brutal beside him, and then at the fragments of the Demonic Stone on the ground.
This is what you rely on?
He suddenly shook his head and laughed.
"Test? Of course it is possible to test, but... after you are completely under control and a comprehensive inspection is performed on you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, dense red spots appeared on Viscount Iron Wall's forehead, heart, limbs, and torso.
Viscount Iron Wall froze all of a sudden.
"My lord duke! Don't!" Brutal panicked when he saw this situation.
This is the intelligent defense system of the living room. As long as Grand Duke Horton has a thought, he can cut the Viscount Iron Wall into seventeen or eighteen sections.
Ignoring Brutal, Grand Duke Holden looked at Viscount Iron Wall, as if he was a little disappointed.
"I don't know what you want to do, but haven't I taught you that you are qualified to negotiate only if the two sides are equal in strength?"
Hearing this, the Iron Wall Viscount also suddenly laughed.
"Hehe! How dare the subordinates forget the teachings of the Duke, so before the subordinates came down, they made some arrangements in advance to give themselves some protection..."
He knew that he must not be taken away from this living room for the so-called "comprehensive inspection".
Because if His Excellency the Duke really had a problem, there would be a hundred ways to frame him and prove himself guilty of being controlled by the enemy.
At that time, it will really be all over.
"Oh? Let's hear it?" Grand Duke Holden narrowed his eyes slightly.
"I released a couple of com buoys in different directions on the way here, and there was a paragraph of my public statement in it.
As long as they don't receive my release signal after three hours, they will announce my guess today through wide-area broadcasting, and it is estimated that the number of people who can receive it at the first time will exceed tens of billions.
I think this is what you and His Highness don't want to see, right? "
Grand Duke Horton's heart skipped a beat.
"Oh, by the way, this news will also be reported to Brutal's fleet at the same time. If Brutal doesn't return by then... then I'm afraid..."
This is the double insurance that the Iron Wall Viscount gave himself and Brutal.
With this layer of protection, if Duke Horton wants to kill everyone present, then a huge public opinion storm and the riot of the Black Flagship team may be inevitable!
It would be a lose-lose situation.
As for accidentally dragging Brutal into danger...
Presumably the other party wouldn't mind, right?
Viscount Iron Wall silently apologized in his heart.
"You are really crazy, so reckless to achieve your goals, do you know what it is to slander an imperial duke and a prince?
In addition, you know that the spread of these remarks will not only cause great trouble to His Royal Highness the Second Prince, but even our duke's mansion will be in deep trouble.
Have you ever thought that if your judgment is wrong, how much impact you will have on me and the favorable situation I have worked so hard to create?
You are being used by someone, do you know it! "
Grand Duke Holden didn't fly into a rage, but just looked at Viscount Iron Wall, a little hated that iron can't be steel.
After a moment of silence, Grand Duke Horton sighed faintly.
"Hey! The situation in the empire is complicated, and you don't know many inside stories and secrets, so you may not understand that I support the second prince.
But please believe me, believe me, just like you did on the battlefield, this is a trade-off made for the Duke's Mansion, for you, and for the future of our entire force! "
Grand Duke Horton's words were sincere, and even Brutal, who had just been slightly deflected by Viscount Iron Wall's desperate aura, looked solemn.
"Now, let me tell you the truth, His Majesty's health has long been a problem, and he is no longer able to control this precarious empire..."
Grand Duke Horton once again threw a big thunder, which directly shocked everyone present.
Your Majesty... can't do it?
"Hehe! However, an aging Majesty is obsessed with power, and intends to divide and win over the power of the other princes, and join hands to suppress the second prince who is the most threatening to his status, so as to maintain the fragile balance.
He only has his own power in his eyes, but do you know that if the empire continues to develop like this, it will be torn apart, and even fall into a protracted and all-out civil war?
Could it be that the great boy under my command didn't die in the battlefield with the machine clan, but died in the internal struggle with his own people? " Duke Holden shook his head and sighed.
"Yes! I admit that the Duke's Mansion has my own selfishness in supporting the second prince, but this selfishness also includes your future!
The second prince may not be the best candidate, but he is the most suitable candidate for us!
Brutal, tell me, if you had to choose, what would you do?
It is to choose such an emperor who will drag the empire to be buried with him when he dies,
Or choose the second prince who can end all of this as soon as possible and make the empire great again? "
Brutal and Viscount Iron Wall were dumbfounded.
In terms of political wisdom and control of people's hearts, even two people can't catch up with Duke Holden.
They were completely convinced by this set of rhetoric for the country, for their relatives, and for their subordinates.
Even Nie Yun, who was observing secretly, had to give Grand Duke Horton a thumbs up in his heart when he saw this.
wonderful!
Obviously it was Cao A who was self-respecting and self-respecting, but in the end, a few words that were true and false, coupled with the exaggeration of his family and country feelings, made himself a Yue Wumu who devoted himself to serving the country.
"Alfonso, the Duke is right. No matter what, you shouldn't have used such a drastic way to force your lord into the palace."
Nie Yun rolled his eyes inwardly.
have to!A good man is misled by success, he votes for the good man...
And the Viscount Iron Wall, who had been extremely determined just now, fell into self-doubt under the impeccable rhetoric of Duke Horton...
Could it be... Am I really wrong?
