YM778.TV Chapter 551: 551
He would also inspect and guide the Defiance Suppression Society’s raging counter-rebellion work.
Accompanied by the commander of the elven expeditionary fleet, Quasi-Admiral Kavisar, the mystery seeker of the Azure Fleet, Master Neola, and the temporary commander of the Holy Empire’s Fourth Fleet, Colonel Henry Beck, His Highness Kant went to the Tidesound Manor, the lair of the Tingston Family, the chief culprit of the riots in the distant harbor, to conduct field research.
He learned in detail about the fierce battle that took place here last night, strongly condemned the Tingston family’s perverse and deranged rebellion, expressed condolences to the soldiers who fought bravely last night, and then deeply criticized the luxurious and indulgent decadence of Tidal Manor.
And move in.
The battle that had taken place here last night had ended at three o’clock in the morning. By nine o’clock in the morning, all the traces of battle and physical damage had been repaired.
This was all thanks to Colonel Henry Beck of the Imperial Fleet.
After receiving the news of the battle in Tidal Manor, he brought his subordinates over.
The elven soldiers in charge of guarding the manor thought that these good-for-nothings were here to compete for credit, which almost led to a small conflict. However, the guards later discovered that the temporary commander of the Empire only brought a bunch of masons and architects, all of whom were ‘recruited’ from the city to volunteer for work.
Under the enthusiastic mobilization of Colonel Henry, these restorers and craftsmen repaired the damage, cleaned up the corpses, cleaned up the battlefield, and cleaned up the ruins at an extremely fast speed.
As for the broken doors, damaged windows, and even the items that were damaged in the fierce battle, Colonel Henry had quickly sent people to dismantle the usable items from the Empire’s warships and various mansions in the city. Some of the items were even more expensive than the original ones.
And now, Kant was sitting in Luant Tingston’s private study on the third floor, listening to a report.
This place looked even more luxurious than Tina’s study. The ebony desk was inlaid with something that looked like jade. The brass ornaments on the table were models of the theory of the origin of the four elements. Ancient pottery was displayed on the top of the bookshelf. The closer it was to the coast, the more oriental it was. Kant even saw a wooden screen with mysterious patterns engraved on it, as if they were some divine beasts. The armchair under him was smooth and supple. He reached out to touch it. It was cool and warm.
The air was filled with the fragrance of flowers. The smell of war had long since dissipated.
It was said that last night, the loyal butler Tingston had brought his servants here to destroy important documents and lurked here in an attempt to kill intruders of higher status and show the evil people of Aurora the unyielding glory of the Tingston family. They gripped their weapons tightly and hid behind doors and tables with alchemical bombs.
Then, they were all taken down by the elven mages who had activated their x-ray vision and used strong sulfuric acid arrows through the wall.
The damaged walls had been repaired with spells, and the broken furniture had been replaced. As for the brave resistance of the Tingston family here, the evil people of Aurora knew nothing about it.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
Kant took a few glances at the detailed reports and account books that the three armies had compiled. He nodded and said,” Take a portion of the property seized from the families and reward the soldiers who participated in the operation last night. The basic reward will be a month’s salary for both officers and soldiers. Those who have rendered meritorious service will be given additional rewards. Horus has already listed the details of the rewards. After you get it, see if there’s anything you need to add. Then, hand it to me for signature.”
The three admirals were taken aback. They were about to decline when Kant said calmly,” It’s my money. I can spend it however I want. If I say I’ll reward you, you can’t take a single cent less.”
” Thank you, Your Highness!” Colonel Henry was the quickest to react. He stepped forward and took the list.
The elven Brigadier General and the Seeker could only accept it.
Kant casually flipped through the report and said,” I’ve already determined the punishment measures for the rioters who were punished last night according to the severity of their responsibilities. They are divided into capital crimes and living crimes. The Rebel Society will be responsible for the living crimes.”
The projector on the table projected a map of the area around the Far Harbor on the wall behind it.
“I plan to set up a base in the southeast of Distant Harbor, which is here…” The laser pointer shot out a dot of light. Kant drew a circle between Qilin’s Horn and Distant Harbor.” Set up a large-scale rehabilitation camp to take in these scum who can’t escape punishment. They will complete their initial rehabilitation and training here in preparation for the next step of work.”
Kant turned to look at the three generals.” Next, assign tasks. Quasi-General Kavisaron, the task of the elven troops is to continue hunting down the fish that have slipped through the net. For example, these large merchant associations have their roots spread throughout the entire province. In the next few days, I want you to at least uproot all their forces around Distant Harbor.”
“Yes, Your Highness!” The elf bowed.
The proud elf did not care about rewards. He had his own scales in his heart. The more difficult the mission Kant gave him, the happier he would be.
” Master Neola, your men will be responsible for moving the criminals on the list out of the Far Harbor and managing them properly. You will also be responsible for supervising the construction of the rehabilitation camp. I heard that the Arcane Magic Council’s architectural skills are also famous across the continent. If you lack any materials, you can report it to Horus and we will coordinate. My requirements are two. One, stability, and two, no accidental casualties.”
“As you command.” The spellcaster bowed.
” Captain Henry.” Kant’s gaze fell on Henry.” Colonel Henry.”
” Yes!” The man bowed deeply.” We await your instructions!”
Kant said,”” I heard from Horus that you’re quick-witted and have a knack for amassing wealth. I want you to reorganize the businesses, shops, and ships of the various families, chambers of commerce, and gangs that were confiscated last night and restore them to operation as soon as possible. As for the people involved, other than the prisoners on death row, I allow you to make them redeem themselves according to the situation and not have to go to the labor camp. As for the prisoners on death row, I can give you two days to ask all the questions you need. Can you do that?”
“I’ll bet everything on it, my lord!” Colonel Henry stood up abruptly and shouted.
“Alright.”
Kant’s expression remained the same.” That’s all I wanted to say. If there’s anything else I need to add, Horus will let you know. Colonel Henry, please stay here for a while. I have something for you to do.”
Henry was stunned, and his eyes flashed with ecstasy.
The elven brigadier general and the council master looked at each other, then bowed and left. The two fleet commanders glanced at the man from the Empire with a hint of disdain in their eyes. After all, these two were commanding a powerful fleet with military merit, experience, and ability, while the latter was just a scum who had been added after five rounds.
The character and integrity that this person had displayed in the past two days made the two proud commanders feel deeply disdainful.
Leaving the study, the Brigadier General and the Seeker walked side by side. The clean corridor was silent. After taking two steps, Cavisaron snorted and spat.” Imperials.”
“He is indeed a shameless person,” said Master Neola.
Even though they had surrendered, they had tried their best to protect the dignity of their navy and even their country. Only this shameless scoundrel had groveled and had no honor to speak of.
In the joint operation of the three countries last night, the dynasty’s fleet had suffered heavy losses and was the weakest. However, His Highness Kant had actually ordered this man from the dynasty to become the commander of the battlefield and coordinate the joint operation.
The man from the Empire was no longer the humble and obsequious man he was in front of His Highness Kant. When he faced the Goethe people, he was like a bloodthirsty hyena, violent, cruel, and cold-blooded.
He was like an energetic male dog that had gone mad. In just an hour, he had successfully interrogated twelve times in a row, three of which were conducted at the same time. According to the report of the elven warrior who was supervising the interrogation, the interrogation process was “no different from eating and skinning”.
Colonel Henry liked to interrogate his targets in a dark environment. In the narrow and cold room, the darkness was blurry, and the prisoners could only hear his roars. The violent and rapid torture brought incomparable pain. In the endless despair and fear, they had to listen to the other party’s roars and roars. Even the bystanders had their hair stand on end, let alone the prisoners who had experienced all this…No one could last five minutes in that kind of cruelty.
“That’s reasonable.”
The elven Brigadier General said coldly,” There are many nobles like him among the humans. Look at how humble he is in the face of power and His Highness Kant, who can destroy him at any time. He doesn’t have the pride of a navy at all. But how can a so-called noble get used to being humble? The more humble he appears in front of the strong and has no dignity, the more he has to make up for it with the weak…”
He paused for a moment and said,” His Highness Kant must have done it on purpose. He saw through Henry’s true nature.”
“He won’t even let the Empire off…” Niola frowned.
According to Kant’s orders, if they encountered spies from their own country during the operation, they could avoid suspicion and let the troops of other countries arrest them. However, Colonel Henry caught the vague word ” may “. After he found a clue about the Empire, he did not consider avoiding suspicion at all. Instead, he directly carried out violent and cruel interrogation.
In the end, a long list of suspects was implicated.
Horus had been supervising the entire process.
In other words, there was no problem.
“Do you think the Empire will hold him accountable?”
The elf smiled disdainfully.” He’s very smart. You and I will take the blame for the defeat and surrender. But Colonel Henry is just the captain of a level-five battleship. Before he became the commander of the fleet, five captains with high priority had already died in battle. In other words, he can totally package himself as a hero who commands calmly and saves the navy’s strength to the greatest extent.”
” Besides, he has also obtained more important intelligence and information, which is enough to clear all the crimes.
The Brigadier General raised his right hand and pointed at the bracelet on his wrist.
” Paragon Element…His Highness Kant said so. This mysterious and noble substance has been completely controlled by His Highness Kant, and there are even methods to treat it harmlessly. Now, Colonel Henry is the only officer in the Empire who knows about this. Such a major discovery and report is enough to turn into precious intelligence. Look, the heroic captain has turned the tide and brought important information…”
” But the prerequisite for all of this is to please His Highness Kant,” Master Neola said coldly.
“Yes, so he has already taken action.”
Cavisaron stopped in his tracks and looked behind him.” He could have avoided suspicion, but he devoted the greatest passion and energy to the search for the spies of the Empire and the nobles whose political stance leaned toward the Empire. He even participated in the killing operation. This was the greatest request of loyalty he gave to His Highness Kant. The latter could inform the Empire of this at any time and expose his lies and fabriciousness.”
“What a cunning dog.” Master Neola shook his head.
“Indeed.”
The elven Brigadier General nodded and immediately said,” Damn it. Lowly, lowly, and eloquent flatterers can actually gain favor with shamelessness, while loyal, brave, and loyal warriors…”
He shut his mouth.
Because the mystery seeker was looking at him in surprise, and a little dumbfounded.
“Look…What are you looking at?”
“You…” Master Neola was a little doubtful.” Why are you dissatisfied?”
“Why would I be dissatisfied?” I was just lamenting that the past emperors were all close to flattering courtiers instead of loyal and brave soldiers. This was the case for all countries and races, but what does this have to do with me?”
After saying that, he left the mystery seeker behind and strode away quickly.
The spellcaster stood behind him. He was stunned for a moment, but then he found it funny. He shook his head and said,”It’s said that a lie will become the truth after repeated a thousand times.” These elves can’t be…”
He muttered to himself for a moment and then sighed.
“Not to mention him, even I am afraid and looking forward to it…”
Last night, with the cooperation of aerial fire support, real-time communication on the battlefield, and multi-layered command links, the soldiers of various countries attacked the rebels in the distant port like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. They almost did not meet any decent resistance. Even if there was an absolute difference in equipment, tactics, and quality between the two sides, they won too quickly. Although the private soldiers, mercenaries, and even gladiators of the nobles and wealthy merchants did not have experience in large-scale battle, they had a considerable advantage in small-scale melee battles. However, it was still crushed like a hot knife through butter.
Outsiders watched the show, while experts watched the show.
When the ordinary soldiers saw the long-range fire support descending from the sky, they would at most say something like,” Is it so good to fight for His Highness Kant?” or ” Why did the battle go so smoothly tonight?”
For a general like Niola, who had rich combat experience and top-notch battle vision, the impact and shock he received last night was no less than the feeling when he saw the steel warship.
The soldiers of the three countries were carrying out dozens of military operations in a city in a disorderly manner. They were organized and orderly. More than ten hours ago, they were still enemies.
In other words, Kant had used a very short period of time to recruit and mobilize the armies of the three countries, which had different training methods, equipment, and tactics. Then, he had commanded them to complete a riot suppression operation that could be considered the art of war.
Then…
If there was an army that had received Kant’s unique military training that matched his war system, equipped with the war machines created by Kant’s unrivaled alchemy, received real-time synchronized battlefield communications and efficient and smooth command links, and had long-distance support that descended from the sky and destroyed everything, how high would the combat effectiveness of this army be?
Master Neola didn’t even dare to think about it.
Presumably, this was also the reason why the proud elves had such a subtle change in their state of mind.
If they couldn’t beat him, they would join him. This was the survival instinct of every intelligent creature.
He sighed and moved.
Why was Goethe’s life so good? This group of idiots really deserved to die.
“Make a trip for me.”
Kant handed another list of names to Colonel Henry in his office.
” Pass this list to the governor of Green Wave Province for me. Tell him that this is a traitor who has committed a grave sin and must be sentenced to death. His honor, family title, and reputation will also be stripped away.”
“The death penalty is set for tomorrow.”
” Your Excellency, you have one day to prepare. I need a joint statement issued in the name of Distant Port to expose and denounce the crimes of these traitors to the entire Goethe. Officials, nobles, military officers, merchants, and all gentlemen with conscience in Distant Port must sign this statement.”
” Tomorrow, these traitors will be executed in public. All decent people who believe in justice and justice must be present to watch the outcome of the traitors.”
“Oh right, there’s one more thing.”
Kant looked at Colonel Henry, who was listening quietly with his hands lowered, and laughed.
” Tell the governor that in order to reflect the justice of the group and Goethe’s spirit of justice, I have only categorized the crimes of the prisoners on this death list. As for the type of death penalty, I will return the power of sentencing to Distant Port. The good people of Distant Port will personally decide what form of death penalty should be given to the traitors for different crimes. This point must be reflected in the joint declaration.”
” In addition, pass a message to the governor and ask him to pass it on to the good people in Distant Harbor.”
Hearing this, Colonel Henry bent down and listened respectfully.
He had wanted to kneel down, but the first time they met, Lord Kant had told him not to kneel.
“Tell them.”
Kant’s smile vanished.” If you don’t speak for justice, you’re in cahoots with evil. Things happened too quickly yesterday, and the righteous lords of Distant Harbor didn’t have the time to act justly. But today, I’ll give them a day to prepare and prepare. I think it should be enough. That’s all I’ll say.”
The man nodded.” Yes, that’s it. Every word is correct. I’ll remember it all.”
Kant smiled at him and waved his hand.” Go ahead. Thank you for your hard work.”
” It’s my honor, Your Highness, to give me a chance to wash away my sins,” the man said respectfully.” Henry Beck is willing to offer all his loyalty to you! Everything!”
Kant smiled.
Colonel Henry understood completely. He bowed and left, quietly closing the door.
After he left, Long Niang, who was standing in front of the bookshelf and flipping through the Tingston Family’s books, held a large book in her hands. Without even raising her head, she said,” From the perspective of the dragons, this guy from the Empire has been licking his boots hard enough. I heard that last night, he was doing his best to tear apart his enemies while cleaning up your mess. He didn’t even show any merit. Kant, don’t tell me that you’ve been licked by this court-like guy until you don’t know where you’re going?”
“That’s it?” Kant scoffed. Hong San is 800 streets ahead of him.”
” Is that the reason?!” Lily was shocked.
Kant laughed. It’s obvious why he’s trying to please me. If I’m happy, he might get what he wants, but that’s all.”
Long Niang crossed her arms and raised her head.” No, I’m the same as him. I just want the shares. Give me the money.”
“Then work hard or develop other businesses.” Kant lowered his head to sketch out the blueprint. He said casually,” You refused to agree to the Glittering Lily project. You wouldn’t accept the shares even if I gave you one.”
“You want me to wear those shameless clothes with that little money?” Lily glared at him.
0.1% was not a small amount.
You f * cking asked for 1% of the shares. Even a b * tch isn’t as black-hearted as you.
Kant shrugged.” By the way,” he said casually,” when is the Dragon Emperor coming?”
” After he received my message from Long Yao, he was not in a hurry.”
Lily glared at Kant.” Now that you’ve got the situation under control,” she replied,” he must first ensure that there is no internal turmoil on Dragon Island. Then, he will suppress the Conservatives.”
” Oh,” Kant thought for a moment.” Tell him to hurry up or come over for a chat when he has time.”
“What’s wrong?”
Kant put down his pen and took a sip of tea.” After I’m done with the first phase of the emergency, I’ll take advantage of the time when the bullets are flying. I need to do something. It’ll take about a day or two.”
“You’re telling me this?” Mother Long was stunned.
“What’s wrong?” Kant answered subconsciously,” You won’t tell anyone anyway.”
“.. Eh?”
Long Niang’s eyes widened in shock.
” What’s wrong?” Kant was puzzled.
“.. No, I haven’t.” Lily’s tone was a little complicated.” I thought you were going to say something like ‘I can come back anytime and blow up all the blind fools with a Forbidden Curse’.”
Kant put down his teacup and picked up his pen again. As he looked down at the picture, he explained casually,” That sentence is used to answer ‘what if something happens after you leave.’”
Lily was stunned for a moment before she laughed.
“Alright, Great Forbidden Spell Master, I know you’re powerful.” She turned around and said,” I’ll inform the Dragon Emperor.”
After she finished speaking, Long Niang’s figure swayed gracefully. She pushed open the inner door of the study and walked into the meeting room.
“Father.”
Horus called out and then disappeared.
“What’s wrong?”
“No, I’m in a strange mood.”
” It’s just like how I, a martial arts genius, saw the mentally retarded kid next door practicing the Black Tiger Steals the Heart every day, and then one day, he suddenly broke the void with a punch and soared up,” the Transformer said with a complicated tone.
“You f * cking look again…”
The door was pushed open and Lily poked her head out.” Oh, I’m in a good mood today. How about 0.5% of the shares?”
“Dream on.”
” That’s enough,” Kant said indifferently without hesitation.” 0.5% of the shares is enough for all the young girls in this province to wear bikinis and walk around in front of me…”
The door was slammed shut with a bang.
With a whoosh, the iron son heaved a long sigh of relief.

” P.S. 1: Damn it, it’s really cool. I just didn’t expect that one day the United States would actually accuse Namibia of interfering in the internal affairs of the United States. Light of Africa, Light of Africa.”
