Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 968: Be Enraged

"This is quite surprising." Tangelio put down his knife and fork and laughed, "Those fellows from the investigation team must be overjoyed. They don't complain that the development of the Blood King's Cemetery is too slow. Now, there's a new ruin for them to pass the time."

Tangelio picked up a glass of milk beaten with raw eggs and drank it clean. He wiped his mouth casually, and his black beard was covered with milk and egg yolk. Great Emperor ignored it and began to destroy the second set of steaks. "Like the Blood King's Cemetery, is it a maze?" He said.

"I'm not sure yet. It will take at least half a month for the new news to be sent back."

"It better not be a maze." Tangelio smiled dryly, "When we discovered the Blood King's Cemetery, it was because it was a maze building, and we don't know how many floors it was deep underground." So they simply opened it up to the adventurers and used the bounty to buy the information they got in the maze. Although this method prevents us from investing too much military power in one place for too long, the progress is far from satisfactory. There was nothing he could do. The more he reached the labyrinth at the bottom, the more terrifying the remnant creatures became. In the beginning, some small adventurer teams could still participate, but in the future, if they were not in groups, they would have to have super experts to guard them before they could go deeper. "

"The top experts of the Ten Saints are disdainful of participating in such an expedition. As for the second-level experts, it would be hard for them to do so without equally powerful backup." The Prime Minister narrowed his eyes and said, "However, the maze of the Blood King's Cemetery is about to be dug to the bottom. If the new ruins of the Wilderness Highlands are also open to them, it should set off a new wave of exploration. However …"

"Is there a problem?" Great Emperor raised his head.

Nabott crossed his fingers and said, "Don't forget, we sent the investigation team to the South because of the phenomenon in the Wilderness Highlands. His Majesty shouldn't forget the so-called phenomenon. Skyfire broke through the sky. No matter how it looked, it seemed like it was transmitting some kind of signal. In this way, the ruins in the Wilderness Highlands might still be operating."

"Is there a Celestial involved?" Tangerio looked at his prime minister and laughed, "That's interesting. I never thought that in my generation, I would have the chance to see living celestials instead of dealing with their belongings and relics."

"It's just a possibility. But looking at the last ten years, there are no obvious signs, so it's better if you don't get too happy. Besides, what kind of celestial do you still have time to care about? I say, Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has been fighting in secret for some time, and he should have done so long ago. If you don't announce the test items on the surface, the remaining princes won't be able to sit on their butts. "

'"Does the Prime Minister want to ask your student about the exam questions from me so that he can make preparations?" Tangelio said.

'"Am I such a person?" Nabott slapped the table on the spot.

Erin, who was not far away, was shocked. He thought to himself that the Prime Minister was truly incredible. Perhaps the only person in the empire who dared to get angry at Great Emperor was this Nabott. If it was Roderick, he might not have the courage to do so.

Tanglio laughed and waved his hand, "Alright, just treat me as a villain. Fortunately, this is the hunting ground. If you get so angry in the Imperial Court, you won't give me face."

'"At most, His Majesty punished me severely afterwards. Nabott had always disdained to do such an act. What's more, the Prime Minister was meant to remind the Emperor of his words and deeds. If he didn't dare to say anything or do anything, what would he do with this damn Prime Minister?"

"You, you, this bad temper is really like a day for ten years. No wonder Roderick has not dealt with you all these years." Tangelio pointed at his nearby minister and smiled.

Nabott snorted, "Roderick is so militaristic and delighted." Right now, our Bailegang Empire is indeed rich and powerful, but if we want to expel the Shadow Duchy, our national strength will be reduced by at least ten years. This includes the return of our Marshal Rodak's victory! "Moreover, Roderick is already quite old. He is at the peak of the rank of Martial Official. Why should he be so greedy for merit and power? Could it be that he wants to become the fifth duke of our empire by having His Majesty bestow him a hereditary duke?"

The Prime Minister looked at the Great Emperor and added, "I don't believe this old fool. I can't see that His Majesty is suppressing the Shadow Duchy." First, he was worried about the loss of national strength; Secondly, His Majesty and our ministers are getting old, so we don't need any military contributions to decorate them. That was why the Shadow Principality was clearly planning to build momentum for the future Storage Lord. However, His Majesty is not at liberty to say. I am not afraid that Roderick will miss me day and night, so I will pinch him on this point. "

Tangelio smiled, but his eyes sharpened. "My good Prime Minister, it is not that we, Marshal Roderk, do not know." On the contrary, he was too clear. He knew that once Chu Jun stood up, attacking the Shadow Duchy wouldn't be a problem for him. That's why he was so anxious to lead his troops to attack before I made the crown prince. So that you can make this contribution first, and then you might as well try to think about it. When the new emperor sits on the throne in the future, I'm afraid that the new emperor will have to admire Marshal Rodke for his merits. At that time, Roderick was much more glorious than any Grand Duke of the Empire. "

"Sure enough, you're a good abacus. In other words, I underestimated Old Roderick."

"That's because you're not as ambitious as him." Tangerio paused for a moment and said, "But when it comes to Shadow Duchy, the outsiders have been moving again lately. Didn't they say last time that they were all planning to go to the South?"

Naboo said, "It was fortunate that the outsiders were able to think of the Southern Domain as a starting point." But even I, who don't understand military law, know that there are countless checkpoints from the south to the north, not to mention the long journey. If he wanted to invade the north from the south, how could it be so simple? In turn, we can send troops to cut off their supplies to the south, and then close the door to nibble away at their invading army. Or drag their main force to death in the South, while we head straight for their lair. We will have the same chance to take advantage of them, "he said.

Tangelio clapped his hands and said, "Alright, Prime Minister. How about I give you another chief of staff?"

"That won't do. I'm just talking on paper. Besides, Roderick enjoys this kind of hard work on the battlefield. I don't want to inflict punishment on myself."

The two of them looked at each other and smiled.

After a moment of silence, Nabott looked at Great Emperor.

Tangelio rolled his eyes and said, "If you have something to say, just fart."

'"Your Majesty, treat me as a villain for nothing. You can see Roderick, but don't take Mason for granted. With all due respect, the threat posed by the Archduke of Sword is no less than Roderick, or even greater!"

Tangelio, who had been laughing all this while, suddenly sank when he heard this. Just as Erin sensed that the atmosphere in the camp was different, the Great Emperor smashed his palm onto the long table. The long table instantly shattered, and the plates and cups on the table instantly shattered. Between Tangelio and Nabott, the ground was filled with mess. The Emperor's fury of thunder made Erin and the other guards kneel on the ground.

Only Nabott was still seated, facing the furious Tangerio with his four eyes.

Great Emperor said in a low voice, "Nabott, don't you think you're being presumptuous?" I can allow you to make a move on the empire, and even go against many of your old friends because of this; Can also allow you for ShuGuan position; I can even let you suppress the Marshal of the Empire. But that doesn't mean that I will allow you to openly impeach the Duke of the Empire, my brother Mason! "Do you know that if it wasn't for Mason's strong support and the fatal blow he received on my behalf, there wouldn't have been this Tangerio!"

Facing the furious Great Emperor, Nabott refused to budge, "Because of this, I would like to remind His Majesty." His Majesty was a nostalgic person, so he could allow Mason to dominate the empire's four dukes. Mason's family can be tolerated for being wind-driven and rain-driven. He even took the sister of the Sword Lord as his wife, intending to groom the fourth prince to become the crown prince! Even Mason blatantly violated the agreement between the Empire and the Naga Clan, ignoring Mason's intention to touch the Undying Spring. But Your Majesty, if you don't see Mason's ambitions again, I'm afraid the empire will change owners! "

Erin trembled, only hating that he wasn't deaf, otherwise he wouldn't have heard such a horrible thing.

Tangelio's chest rose and fell, and the aura he exhaled sounded like muffled thunder. It was like a giant dragon that was about to explode and injure others.

Nabott said calmly, "Besides, Mason also participated in the Crown Prince's competition back then, and then he supported His Majesty. However, Mason felt that he could not do anything." But over the years, didn't His Majesty know that Mason was obsessed with that throne? Even the seat in his mansion was seventy percent similar to His Majesty's Iron Throne. Everyone in the empire didn't know Mason's Heart. "Your Majesty is not unaware of it, but you just don't want to know, right?"

Tanglio said coldly, "Nabott, aren't you afraid that I'll kill you in a fit of anger?"

"It would be even better if His Majesty had the heart to forget what I said today. As long as His Majesty remembers it in his heart, Nabott would be worthy of the title of Prime Minister."

Great Emperor narrowed his eyes. After exchanging glances with Nabott for a moment, the invisible pressure in the camp quietly dissipated. Tangelio shook his head and scolded, "You, you, I'm sure I won't kill you. Get lost, deduct your half-month salary, and never mention it again."

Instead of being angry, Nabott bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty knows."

Tangelio turned around and said, "Erin, take this annoying fellow with you. Also, give me a few more steaks and have this place cleaned up!"

Erin hurriedly gestured to the guards behind him. Naturally, someone would inform the chef and servants, and then carefully escort Nabott out of the camp. It wasn't until the horse stopped outside the camp that Erin whispered, "Your Excellency is so bold. I bet even Roderick Marshal wouldn't dare to offend His Majesty like this."

Nabott shook his head and said, "You don't understand, Your Majesty knows better than anyone else. However, there are some things that he can't say, so I, the former Prime Minister, have to do it for you."

Ellington was speechless.
