These big shots are actually me - #88 - Chapter 88
“Because he is ready to be a ‘hero’.”
Mozo’s sudden ‘attack’ made Verdani blush instantly, but she did not dodge but stood there and nodded slightly. Mozo was still in charge.
Audrey said a little jealously:
“But his behavior is completely different from that of a hero.”
“This is indeed the case now, but what if he subsequently annexes Lorraine or even the entire Northern Business Alliance?”
One sentence made the two girls freeze on the spot.
If Emperor Heather can really achieve this, then everything he does today, no matter how heinous, will be considered a necessary decision made by a talented man. Those high-sequence people who are loyal to Heather will not be disloyal but treat them as invisible and become more and more cautious.
Because their emperor was iron-blooded and great.
But can it really be done?
Not to mention the Loland Empire, which is stronger than Heather, the Northern Business Alliance alone is not easy to deal with!
Otherwise, the Hesse people would have divided the eastern nobility back then to this day.
Mozo smiled at this and said:
“It’s incredible, right? In fact, it’s not surprising, because he already considers himself unrivaled in the surrounding countries. You must know that the emperor of Heather is recognized as extremely capable, and a series of previous policies and techniques have been It is impeccably outstanding. These are his proud capital.”
“Of course, this alone is not enough to explain that his current actions are too ruthless and ‘stupid’. So the most important thing is that he defeated the Lang family! He who had always been cautious about his career before defeated the Lang family, Starting to think his time has come.”
“So his actions began to be public and radical. Because he wanted to recover the scattered rights of the empire as soon as possible, so as to lay a solid foundation for his plan to open up new territories in advance!”
He knew that he could not become an angel or even a demigod, so he had a short lifespan and knew that his two opponents were powerful, so he was extremely impatient with time.
Audrey heard this in disbelief:
“It’s not that I look down on you, but is the Lang family really so important in the eyes of the Hesse people?”
Verdani wanted to puff up her chest and say yes, but she was not very confident about it because she believed that the young master had this weight, but she also felt that the current performance of the young master was not enough for Emperor Heather to value him so much.
Mo Zuo smiled and said:
“Because the Wolf family has always been Heather’s shadow. It is the opponent that His Majesty the Emperor wants to defeat day and night. This is the tone set during the Cromwell period.”
After speaking, Mozo also added in his mind, of course, the most important thing is that he thinks he killed Cromwell.
The annihilation of the Wolf family was not an outrageous victory for Emperor Heather, and it was not worth paying such a huge price. It was just that they killed Cromwell and not Mozo.
Defeating the shadow that has been haunting him since he ascended the throne should have greatly boosted Emperor Heather’s self-confidence, making him start to become arrogant and aggressive.
He is too young and too successful. So he wanted to make an immortal contribution before he died of old age.
And except for Cromwell, who really hurt him, he probably didn’t think that he would lose to anyone who had been going smoothly.
And Mozo also gave another important explanation:
“Also, after the eastern nobles were made independent by a letter, His Majesty the Emperor should no longer trust these powerful nobles.”
“Before, he had to rely on them, but now that the enemy is gone, the great cause is approaching, and his life span is limited, he becomes impatient.”
Mo Zuo has seen many such examples since the Age of Gods.
When mortals who cannot live forever but have great rights look at those superior immortals, they will inevitably feel inferior, angry and anxious.
Then they will be eager to do something to prove that they are far better than the immortals.
Therefore, the unparalleled achievement of opening up new territories is a very good choice.
Mozo had never thought that Emperor Heather would do it so thoroughly, but he also sincerely hoped that the other party would not be so ruthless and ruthless.
pity.
After lowering his head and sighing, Mozo cheered up and said to the two girls:
“Come on, let’s go see that little Lord Douglas.”
Audrey still flinched a little:
“You really don’t need to think about it? Mozo, you just tricked that angel to death. Is it true that the Douglas family won’t fight you to the death?”
The Douglas family seems to be in trouble, but in their main city, it shouldn’t be a problem to eat the three little shrimps, right?
Mozo smiled and touched Audrey’s head and said:
“Don’t worry, it was indeed like this before, but now what they hate most is not me, who is their enemy.”
At the same time, Mozo didn’t say a word.
Without further ado, the mere appearance of the dead Cromwell in front of young Lord Douglas was probably enough to prevent the other party from thinking about ‘resistance’.
Prince Douglas should let his son know that he is going to kill the old wolf master, right?
Forget it, it doesn’t matter if you don’t know. It doesn’t matter whether the Douglas family sees the young wolf master or the old wolf master at this moment.
This kind of comfort made Audrey quite reassured, but she still asked:
“But how are we going to meet that little Douglas?”
This time it was Verdani who answered Audrey:
“The Hesse people can openly spread their spies all over the world, so naturally we can too.”
Everyone knows that there are other people’s spies in their own country, because there is no way to prevent them. It can only depend on their own abilities and how to deal with them.
Just don’t be as outrageous as that joke empire where even the emperor is a spy.
–
What happened after that was Verdani’s personal time. She first took Mozzo and Audrey through the streets and alleys of Antler Castle, and then kept leaving or checking various Audrey in various hidden places. A totally unimaginable secret code.
When the time came in the afternoon, the three people who were looking for refreshments in the commercial street outside the main city of Antler Castle were waiting for a tall knight.
That was little Lord Douglas’s guardian knight.
The guardian knight of the head of the Douglas family is naturally not Lorraine’s spy, but he is willing to introduce Mozo and others.
Spies do not necessarily have to reach a high position themselves. Finding the right person to act as a middleman is also a required course for them!
The other party looked at Mo Zuo and the others and hesitated for a while before sighing:
“I hope my choice is not wrong. Please come with me, messengers of Lorraine.”
Under the leadership of this knight, the three of Mozo finally entered the Douglas family’s main castle smoothly. And saw little Lord Douglas slumped on the throne in the empty hall. Beside him stood another knight.
As soon as they saw little Lord Douglas, the knight who brought Mozo and the others in knelt down on the ground with a face full of shame.
The young Lord Douglas waved his hand and said:
“It doesn’t have to be like this, Tang En. I believe you have no ill intentions. You have saved me more than once.”
After saying that, he looked at Mo Zuo and the others with melancholy and said:
“Please go back, Lorraine’s envoys, the Douglas family can’t stand the trouble anymore.”
Looking at the other party’s graying hair despite being middle-aged, Mo Zuo stood there for a moment and then took a few steps forward.
Such a move instantly aroused the vigilance of the Douglas knights. Both the knights beside the throne and Tang En who was kneeling on the ground drew their swords and pointed them at Mozo.
Seeing this, Verdani immediately followed and drew her sword.
Then the monarchs of both sides raised their hands in a tacit understanding to stop their knights from further actions.
But even so, the knights still stood in front of their monarch with swords raised.
Because the two sides are nominal enemies after all, and they are considered mortal enemies.
After all, the Douglas family declined because of Lorraine.
Mozzo stood next to Verdani, looked at the slumped little Lord Douglas on the throne and said:
“I believe that the vassals of the Douglas family are still willing to be loyal to the head of the Douglas family.”
After hearing this, Lord Douglas couldn’t help but sneered:
“Their allegiance is to the angels and power, not to Douglass!”
As he spoke, he leaned on the throne and exaggeratedly raised his hands and said:
“So what if I summon them now? They may come, but as long as I dare to say the opposite word, one of them will definitely turn around and sell us to the emperor! As for loyalty? Vassals are not knights!”
His exaggerated hands were immediately unable to be put down, and little Lord Douglas finally revealed all his feelings in front of Mozzo, an outsider:
“And even if they really still obey my orders, so what? The Douglas family today is nothing compared to Heather! We have no capital to resist.”
When Mo Zuo heard this, he lowered his head and laughed.
This made Lord Douglas extremely irritated and stood up, took the sword of Knight Down, pointed it at Mozo and yelled:
“Why are you laughing? Do you think I dare not kill you?”
In response to the threat from Lord Douglas, all Mozzo did was take off his hood.
He stood at the foot of the steps, suppressed his smile, looked straight at the other person and said:
“Gather your vassals and leave the rest to me!”
140 If you are not kind, I will be unjust (3k)
With a clang, the sword in Little Lord Douglas’s hand suddenly fell to the ground. After two staggering steps, he fell back to his throne. Looking at Mozo who took off his hood, even the two guardian knights beside him began to breathe quickly.
Little Lord Douglas slumped down on the throne in fear, pointed at Mozo with a trembling finger, and said tremblingly:
“you you you.”
Why is he still alive? Is it a joke that the Douglas family is so devoted?
Mozo took off his hood and stood still with his hands together. He waited for young Lord Douglas to digest this alarming fact.
After a long while, little Lord Douglas finally calmed down his frightened heart, and then asked in disbelief and dare not accept it:
“Why, you’re not dead?”
After saying that, his eyes became more and more frightened as he realized:
“Did you do it on purpose?! My father and the Prime Minister were all lured here on purpose by you?! You did it for them to die…”
Finally, he lowered his head tremblingly and said:
“And to get us to this point?”
“Did you plan this from the beginning?!”
After reacting, little Lord Douglas shouted these words towards Mozo like a roar.
The two guardian knights also began to step forward slowly. As long as their master gave the order, they would take action immediately.
They firmly believe that this is the main city of the Douglas family, and the other side cannot change the world!
Regarding this tense atmosphere, Mo Zuo said as if he was not aware of it:
“I set the trap, but please understand that we are enemies, and the enemy will naturally try his best to defeat the other party. And the most important thing is that I have no way to interfere with your emperor. All this is his own choice and true performance.”
The two knights who had followed Prince Douglas for many years immediately shouted angrily:
“Shut up, you despicable and vicious wolf cub!”
“If it weren’t for you, how could our old master have died in a foreign country, and how could our Douglas family be where we are today?”
Mozo looked at them and said seriously:
“It is my duty to defeat the enemy, but it is not me who makes our country’s heroes shed blood and tears.”
The two knights were suffocated when they heard this. They wanted to retort, but the experience of the Douglas family and the emperor’s cruelty prevented them from saying a word.
They even agree with Mo Zuo’s remarks, because they are enemies after all, and they should use all means to defeat their enemies!
This is the greatest respect as an enemy.
However, agreeing with the words and accepting the reality are two different things. They are very contradictory at the moment.
On the one hand, the culprit who killed the old master is here, on the other hand, the other party is probably the last hope of the Douglas family.
In the end, they could only look at the head of the family, Lord Douglas.
Facing the inquiry from his knight, young Lord Douglas couldn’t help swallowing his saliva and rubbing his fists. On his throne, his body began to rise and fall uncontrollably.
He knew that today’s decision would probably be the biggest gamble of his life.
Logically, he really wanted to kill Mo Zuo, because this was the culprit who planned to ambush his father.
