Calamity Dance

Chapter 46 Defense Minister Duncan
The bombshell that Wren threw at the intelligence meeting made everyone present at the meeting anxious.Except for Leo who was excited, everyone else had a certain degree of suspicion in their hearts.

After the Minister of Defense Duncan turned off the hologram, he sat in his sky office in Tifa City, lost in thought.He opened the curtains. At this altitude, the clouds were a little thinner and the sun was glaring.He stood up and looked down at the land under his feet that had not been disturbed by war for more than 1000 years.At that time, the remaining part of the world's population gathered around Tifa City to form the last habitat of human civilization, and with the establishment of the Tasha Kingdom, Tifa City should become the only capital city. choice.Thousands of years have passed, and the city has been completely upgraded from the ground to the air. It has long since disappeared, and its prosperity is staggering.

Duncan looked at the city, thinking of the appearance of the fighters in the other world that Ryan showed, and couldn't help but think a lot.

Suddenly, his office phone rang.Duncan didn't answer the call for the first time. His smart watch told him that the call was from Curtin College.Duncan sighed, he didn't really want to talk to Aurik at this moment.

After ringing for a while, the phone stopped for a while and then rang again.Feeling powerless, Duncan was forced to pick it up.

"Hey, Duncan in the defense office, who is it?" Duncan asked, but he knew in his heart that it was probably Orick.

"Duncan, I didn't answer the phone just now, is it convenient to talk now?" Orick's vicissitudes of voice came from the other end of the phone line.

"I went to the bathroom just now, and I was going to call back." Duncan made an excuse casually. He had already expected that Orrick would be the first to contact him.

"What do you think about the serum of the Swazidonians?" Orik said bluntly.

"It's done, it's the first time I've heard of it, but doesn't it affect our combat content?" Duncan held his forehead, looking a little tired.

"You are familiar with Ren, do you think there is any purpose behind his doing this? I mean he cut it first and played it later, and then hid it for so long, and then threw it out at this critical point." Orick said slowly, although he listened casually, but these words He must have already thought about it.

"I'm not that familiar with him. I have to say that I know him. I also worked together for a short period of time decades ago. At that time, there were not so many things to consider." Duncan said truthfully, "However, I don't think it's a matter of cutting first and playing later."

"how do I say this?"

"He said it all. It was because of the explosion that he died, and he wanted to revive him so he made such a bad plan. In the end, it was just a fluke. And in the end, didn't he still tell the truth? Besides, there is no difference between these words and what Yue Shan said. .” Duncan recalled the details of the incident.

"Is it really that simple? Do you think a miracle, for a person who has nothing to do with you, will make such a big determination, and even use up the serum that the people of Swazidon gave him!" Orick said The tone became a little more intense.

Duncan was silent for a while, and then asked, "What does the bishop think about this matter?" To be honest, Duncan never had any doubts about Ryan's original intention. Even at this time, he felt that this matter was done and he would do it. Yes, there is nothing wrong with it.Moreover, Rennes' loyalty to the empire is obvious to all, and he does not think that a strange decision will change Rennes' inner loyalty to the empire.

"Have you ever thought about the idea that Ren wants to return to the imperial cabinet?" Orick calmed down his emotions just now.

"My lord bishop, no matter what, it is impossible for him to return to the cabinet. Whether it is his subjective thoughts or our current objective situation. The mistakes he made 30 years ago are already death sentences for his career. .” Duncan disagreed with Aurik’s idea.

"Thirty years ago, he helped Gupa to support the restoration of Homo sapiens. I don't deny that it's a certainty," said Orelik. "But today, the world is completely different. In the past 30 years, he has not received punishment. It's just that he retired from the market, so it's hard to say whether he has always been in touch with Gupa's gang of Homo sapiens. Besides, the matter of the Lord of Calamity and Calamity is imminent. If we win, it can be said that his status will be improved in a straight line. It is entirely possible to make a comeback and then rise to the top." Ou Ruike analyzed it carefully.

"I think the bishop is too worried. Compared with Fandi, Gupa has little power. With the current program blockade of Homo sapiens, they have zero chance of turning over. There is no need to worry about them. Taking a step back, in the At this juncture, if Ren really has a different heart, then he still has to deal with the invasion of the inner world first as you said anyway. Even so, we are all going to the same end, and it will be no problem to deal with him in the end. " What Duncan said to Orrick can be said to sneer.

Duncan has never been used to things like factional struggles in the court. When he replied to Orrick just now, he also compared Curtin. Completely unhooked.If there is really a religion that wants to influence the rule of the Tasha Empire, it can only be the Fandi under the rule of Oric.Instead of worrying about the waves that might be caused by a miracle, it is better to look at the conspiracy in the heart of Fandi, who is now the most powerful.

These few words were spoken casually, but for Orike, every word was heartbreaking.The reason why the revolution he promoted has never been realized is because of the strong opposition of Duncan and other senior cabinet officials.If it wasn't for Emperor Padisha's belief in Vaticanism, the status of Vatican and Curtin College would inevitably decline.Sitting down and cooperating with Duncan now is just a special method in a special period, and Duncan's words just now have completely made his position clear-Fandi can't get past Duncan's hurdle no matter what.

This phone call fell into an awkward situation, both of them were silent, but they didn't have any intention of hanging up the phone.

In the end, Duncan spoke up. It is not a good thing to have a stalemate with Orike because of old grievances at this stage. "Forget about Ren, I think we need to discuss the traitor."

"You said, I'm listening." Orike's pale voice sounded again.Duncan was a little apprehensive, he didn't know when the person on the other end of the phone might die.

"White Ape's caliber is also that there are traitors among humans, and we can say that we know nothing about the traitors." Duncan said what he was most worried about.

"Speaking of this matter, I have always been very surprised by the loss of Chixia, and I still can't understand the significance of the enemy's move."

"If the loss of Chixia was done by a traitor, then his influence must have been at the same level as you and me. If this is the case, the consequences will be disastrous." Duncan lied, and it was difficult to recognize it on the other end of the phone line.

"In the current cabinet, there are only a handful of people who can have the influence of you and me. Are we going to doubt another colleague of yours?"

Duncan didn't think about what Orick said, he just wanted to mislead Orick's thoughts.In fact, the possibility that Orick is a mole is not out of the question.If he is really a traitor, then his behavior of changing the civet cat for the prince will be regarded as the same kind by him, and it will be easier to expose.

"Don't be suspicious. The most important thing at this time is to run the celebration well. If there is no evidence, it will be counterproductive to investigate with people who don't know. They are all good people, let alone Gwen, the chancellor of the exchequer. .”

"I will keep investigating this matter, but I don't have anything more to do now. If you need it, you can contact me. I have no problem with my contacts." Orick hung up the phone, as if he was very concerned about the phone call. It was a bit frustrating not to get any information out of Duncan's mouth.

Duncan put down the phone and recalled what Orick said just now.It is true that he hadn't thought about Ryan's thoughts at all.Nor did he question Rennes at all.What Orick said reminded Duncan that no matter what, no one should be trusted at this time.

Duncan pressed a small button on the smart tablet in his hand, and a small screen appeared, showing a broadsword with a red light all over it.In fact, the loss of Chixia was also arranged by Duncan.The matter of the magic soldier Chixia was still mentioned by Orick, which made Duncan's plan even more valuable.Because when Renn proposed the search plan for the divine soldiers, the first thing Duncan could come into contact with was Chixia.But Chixia is actually stored in the Treasure Pavilion with the best security in the empire, and there is no possibility of it being lost.

At that time, the message that Ryan conveyed was that the enemy was likely to use the magic soldiers to attack the empire. Although the expression was very simple and direct, what Duncan heard was that the empire might be completely defeated by the magic soldiers just like Homo sapiens 1000 years ago. .If you can't bear such consequences, it's better to hide the magic weapon.This is the original starting point for Duncan's Hidden Cabernet.

After Duncan learned that Syndicate was secretly helping the inner world, his first reaction was not how evil Syndicate was and how to eradicate it. What he thought about was whether there were such people in the empire.This worry is not without reason.The reason why Syndicate has been able to use guerrilla warfare for hundreds of years without being defeated is largely due to the corruption and inaction within the empire, as well as Syndicate's continuous bribery and spy infiltration.In the current situation, if the Syndicate surrenders to the enemy, then the moths inside the empire must already be ready to move.

If we hide the magic weapon now and spread the lost signal of the magic weapon through Leviathan, it will not only be difficult for the outside world to know the movement of the magic weapon, but also hidden traitors may come out to look for it and reveal clues.For Duncan, the move kills two birds with one stone.

But Duncan didn't tell anyone about it, not even Orike.

"Let Rennes go to fight on the front line and see what he can do." Duncan thought to himself.

The sunlight outside was still a bit dazzling, so Duncan closed the curtain and closed his eyes for a while.
