Weird Star Witch
Chapter 424 Reputation
"Who can find Master Kedrick?"
This is the answer Alberto and Paulus are most eager to get now. However, no one can help them.
The investigation changed from targeting the Constitutional Army to searching for Kedrick, because the facts showed that the Constitutional Army tonight was also confused and was reacting passively.
As time went by, Alberto became more and more certain that the huge loss that the Earl was worried about might be that the Earl would lose a son, and a son with a promising future!
Half an hour later, Paulus stopped in front of Alberto and stared at Alberto with horrified eyes.
"Get out of the way!"
Viscount Paulus shouted: "Are you crazy? We did the hands and feet together! If the count knows that we disobeyed his orders and did not let the furnace see the real deployment of troops, you and I will be punished!"
Alberto looked at Paulus as if he were a fool: "Yes, you will indeed be punished, but if Kedrick dies tonight, you and I will both die!"
Paulus was anxious: "The most important thing for us now is to find Kedric, not to admit our mistakes!"
The next second, a violent airflow suddenly erupted in the room, and Albert actually took action directly in the palace.
Paulus was completely unprepared, and he was no match for Alberto. He flew backwards and smashed the door. The door frame fell off the wall, and he himself fell on the lawn outside.
The sound of the door breaking attracted many guards around. This is the count's palace and the headquarters of the Royal Navy's Western Fleet. Who is doing this?
In a cloud of dust, Alberto walked out of the cracked doorway.
The guards came here, but Alberto did not continue moving forward. It was not the guards who asked Alberto to stop, but he saw Master Caleb.
Master Caleb did not look at Paulus, who was injured and vomiting blood, but stared at Alberto: "Chief of Staff, what happened?"
Alberto understood that Caleb must know something, and he said: "There is some military information that needs to be known to the commander."
He deliberately emphasized the Earl's other identity, Commander of the Royal Navy's Western Fleet. This is a reminder to Caleb that what happens next is not only a family matter for the Golden Anchor family, but also a matter for the Royal Navy.
It is impossible for the Earl to let his son die, but rashly launching a decisive battle with the Constitutional Army late at night will cause serious losses to the Royal Navy, and the newly formed balance of power may also be destroyed by tonight's action.
Alberto didn't seem to care at all about the possible punishment he might receive. He was willing to provide Caleb with some help within the scope of his duties, but when it came to the Royal Navy, Alberto couldn't care less.
Alberto comes from the royal capital and can be said to represent the attitude of the royal family, so he must correct his mistakes in time.
Caleb understood that the chief of staff in front of him was determined and there was no way he could be kind tonight.
"Chief of Staff Alberto, I won't delay your military duties. I'm here to capture Paulus. He betrayed the Golden Anchor family and actually framed Kedric!"
Hearing Caleb's words, Alberto didn't say much and left quickly. He didn't care about the strife within the Golden Anchor family.
Paulus, who was on the ground, was already injured. Hearing Caleb's words, he became even more despairing. The recovery of his injuries slowed down for a while, and the change in his state of mind made the operation of his ultimate strength much more stagnant.
Caleb said nothing, just stared at Paulus.
His attendants acted quickly and drove away the surrounding guards, leaving only Caleb and Paulus within dozens of meters.
"Either I protect your family and let your son inherit your title in the future. Or, you and your family will be destroyed together."
Paulus's eyes were downcast. It was a bad alternative.
Or, he takes all the responsibility on his own and rests his hope on Caleb's conscience. Or, reveal Caleb and be silenced by the Count. The count will not let the family scandal spread, so he has no way out.
Finally, Paulus raised his head and said, "It was me who wanted to seize the witchcraft of the furnace and made such a big mistake."
Caleb had a cold face and motioned to the attendant next to him to catch Paulus.
Alberto came to the war room and confessed to Count Pallu everything that had just happened without any reservation.
"In other words, Paulus found you first and asked you to deploy fake troops to deceive the furnace?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"The Forge realized something, but he didn't say anything and took Kedric away instead?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Palu didn't mean to blame him at all. He immediately figured out everything that happened here.
Kedric not only shines in the Eastern Fleet, but he can immediately attack the logistics of the Constitutional Army through the furnace, which means that Kedric will soon make a big contribution.
This credit is even more important than sinking a Constitutional Army warship at sea, and it will definitely be rewarded with a higher level.
If Kedric only made achievements in the Eastern Fleet, some people in the castle would not be anxious. But if Kedric could influence the Port of Cordor, some people would become anxious.
They did not hesitate to use false information to deceive the Forge. If the Forge died at the hands of the Constitutional Army and the Ancient Sea Wizards, it would be equivalent to cutting off Kedric's most important outer edge.
It would be good if Forge was not dead. The cooperation between Forge and Kedric would no longer be as close as it is now, and there would be suspicion and rifts between the two parties.
The calculations here even made Palu somewhat relieved. Caleb's plan was good. No matter what, Kedrick was the loser.
However, all this changed fundamentally because the furnace took Kedrick away.
Of course, Kedrick could not follow the furnace to the Carolingian Kingdom, but just sending the furnace a distance could put Kedrick in great danger, which is why Mr. Child suddenly got a vague divination result.
Not long after, Caleb entered the war room with Paulus tied up.
"Father! Paulus framed the furnace for the magic weapon of the furnace. Now there is bad news. Kedrick may follow the furnace and enter the encirclement of the Constitutional Army!"
"Is that so..." Count Palu looked at his proud son and said with some disappointment:
"You are all excellent, and each one is more thoughtful than the other. However, this is the promise I made to the furnace. Among you, have any of you considered my credibility?"
In this matter, the will of Count Anchor was distorted, and more importantly, Count Anchor lost face and broke his promise.
It is not that promises cannot be broken. Some promises are made to let the enemy relax their vigilance. However, Count Palu did not think so, and he also became a victim.
Faced with his father's questioning, Caleb did not know how to answer, and his veins bulged.
"Accept the challenge. The plan of the furnace is more important than you think. Just to destroy the supply of war materials to the Carolingian Kingdom, the furnace cannot be sent to the Wizards' Association tonight."
