Here, the Lord said this is a good thing

One day later in the evening, at the front-line command post of the 36th District.

"Polodin? Oh, you mean Pelodin."

Emperor Leisus looked at Ye He in confusion, explained to the young man and asked:
"Pelodin is the territory of my brother Renekton. The army outside the city flying the golden warhammer flag is led by him. Is there any problem?"

"…Not yet. Sorry to bother you."

Ye He glanced at Lesos with subtle eyes. He didn't find any clues about "Borodin" from the five Knights of the King, so he simply asked Lesos directly.

But he never imagined that this "King Borodin" in later generations is now just the "Grand Duke of Borodin" Renekton.

So…how did he become King Borodin?

Some problems will not erupt until the time comes. Before that, even Yehe, who is somewhat of a "prophet", will not be able to find its existence.

But he at least knew some clues, so after saying goodbye to Lesos, Ye He prepared to go and take a look at Grand Duke Renekton.

"Warhammer", Hammer King, Borodin, Pyrodin, it must be him.

"Huh? Where are you going? The mutant army has gathered near the coast. Even you can't evaporate the entire sea, right?"

On the way out of the headquarters, Ye He met the five knights who were traveling with him.

Several of them avoided Ye He's sight, only the Wind Knight asked curiously about Ye He's whereabouts, as if nothing had happened.

Ye He touched his waist which was still a little sore. He also had several comminuted ribs that had not fully healed, all thanks to these five knights.

"I'm not going to the other side of the sea. There are some things I need to confirm at the military camp outside the city."

After answering the Wind Knight's question, Ye He looked at the other knights again.

The Phantom Knight who was the instigator turned his face away, not daring to look directly at Ye He.

The Fire Knight and the Light Knight, who added fuel to the fire, should have been taught a lesson by the Ice Knight, who was in a cold war with Ye He, so they did not look directly at Ye He, while the Ice Knight still had some resentment in his eyes.

Ye He smiled at her and asked her specifically:

"Can you go with me out of town?"

"Ah."

The Ice Knight immediately nodded to Ye He. What an easy-to-please woman! Her anger about being dragged into that debauched party subsided so quickly.

After the "young couple" who were no longer quarreling left, the remaining knights all breathed a sigh of relief.

They looked at each other, some blushed, some pretended to be calm, but no one dared to mention what happened last night.

Let this matter rot in everyone’s stomach!
When the war is over and Knight He leaves... who will secretly look for Knight He? That is their own "private matter".

……

"You haven't told me yet how you got along with them...you're seriously cheating on me!"

The Ice Knight finally mustered up his courage (resentment?) and prepared to hold Ye He accountable.

But Ye He turned around, looked at her with his clear eyes, and asked her:

“What is ‘cheating’?”

"……never mind."

The Ice Knight spat out the resentment that was brought up again. It was a very uncomfortable feeling to punch cotton, but she had no way to explain it to Ye He.

While she was racking her brains over how to explain this matter to Ye He, she didn't notice that Ye He turned around and had a triumphant smile on his face.

This is how the character he created for himself should be used, and Ye He brought the Ice Knight with him not to save his love.

"Master Ice Knight! Are you...Master He Knight?"

"Yes, may I ask if Grand Duke Renekton is here? We have an imperial decree to pass on to him."

If Ye He had come alone, he would not have been able to use this excuse.

The Ice Knight, who served as a witness, stood next to Ye He. Ye He even deliberately held her hand, which made the eyes of the imperial soldier in front of him, who had heard about the scandal between the two of them a long time ago, light up, and he led the two of them on the way very easily.

Is this the emperor's order? He wants you to deliver the "verbal order"?
The Ice Knight didn't know about this, so he looked at Ye He and asked.

But Ye He smiled and winked at her, then shook his head at her openly.

Ye He could only warn the Ice Knight to this extent, because he had already released Caesar before approaching the military camp.

But Caesar was unable to get into the tent where Grand Duke Renekton was as an invisible barrier blocked his way.

This security level, which is even more excessive than that of Emperor Leathers, is enough to show that there must be something wrong with Grand Duke Renekton.

What Ye He wants to confirm is how serious Renekton's problem is and whether he is really the "King Borodin".

Soon! Or rather, it was almost time. Before Ye He even met Renekton, this "Mr. Problem" had already exposed the problem.

The cause was not Ye He’s discovery, but the Ice Knight.

As she looked around Grand Duke Renekton's military camp, she quickly discovered many problems.

For example, the military camp was clearly located in the north of Sanshiliudu, but in its elemental cannon array, only the muzzles of the outermost row of elemental cannons were facing west toward the sea.

The muzzles of many of the cannons in the array were actually pointed towards the Thirty-Six Cities in the south...

Also, with the war imminent, all imperial troops should accept the military orders previously issued by Emperor Lesos and "rest" in a state of "preparation for war" until the abnormal landing on the west coast.

But in Grand Duke Renekton's military camp, the soldiers were on high alert, wearing armor and carrying guns, as if a fight might break out at any time.

The target they want to attack cannot be the abnormal army that has not yet landed, so...

Military coup? Grand Duke Renekton is planning a military coup?
When the Ice Knight couldn't help but stop suddenly, the officer who led her and Ye He suddenly rushed into the door of a tent next to them.

At the same time, many soldiers armed with guns and swords drawn emerged from the barracks and surrounded the Ice Knight and Ye He.

The Ice Knight saw the special elemental stone net at a glance. Once she was entangled by this thing, she would not even be able to fly, and her power would be continuously drained by the special magic stones on it.

"I see... Is there anyone who can speak? Come out."

It was then that Ye He realized that Grand Duke Renekton was ready to rebel. Since the difference between his expectations and his own was not too great, he very calmly shouted to the inside of the barracks.

Unfortunately, no one responded to him. Only the Ice Knight gently squeezed his hand, then let go and prepared to break through.

But just when Ye He was about to summon his guns, he suddenly discovered through Caesar that the barrier with no blind spots in the tent where Grand Duke Renekton was located had suddenly removed.

The entire tent suddenly collapsed, revealing an old man who was sitting on an altar, wearing dark green armor with gold edges and gold patterns.

Across many tents and soldiers, the old man with eagle-like eyes and wolf-like gaze glanced at Ye He with contempt, then raised the helmet at his waist and put it on himself.

Then he picked up his main weapon, a long-handled warhammer, which was placed at his side, and raised the warhammer inlaid with five-colored gems high.

Ye He saw a blue gem on the hammer light up, and a gem on the Ice Knight's helmet also lit up. "Is that so?"

Looking down at the blue knight's sword that pierced his chest, Ye He, with blood constantly flowing from the corner of his mouth, turned his head and smiled at the ice knight behind him:
"I know you're being controlled, don't worry, I don't hate you."

"He..."

The Ice Knight, who couldn't control his body, tried his best but could only squeeze out Ye He's alias. Fortunately, the bytes of this name were simple enough.

"Boom boom boom!!!"

In the Thirty-Six Capitals not far away, flames and storms shot up into the sky, and endless phantom-like lightning struck down, causing chaos in the city in an instant.

"Shh."

The Ice Knight also drew out his sword at this time, causing Ye He's "corpse" to fall helplessly to the ground.

A group of soldiers came forward to check Ye He's "corpse", and confirmed that the young man with a pierced heart had no signs of life, and then dragged Ye He's "corpse" away.

After getting rid of Ye He, the "Knight of He" who appeared out of nowhere, Grand Duke Renekton swung his warhammer in the direction of the Thirty-Six Cities.

So the Ice Knight took the lead and led his soldiers to charge towards the Thirty-Six Cities.

...Half an hour later, the Thirty-Six Cities completely fell into the hands of the rebels. Renekton used his brother's head as an order and completed his violent coup at this critical juncture when a decisive battle with foreign enemies was about to begin.

No one could have imagined that Grand Duke Renekton would suddenly launch an armed coup, and no one could have imagined that Grand Duke Renekton would dig up his own ancestral grave and take out the special gem that could control the five knights from his ancestral grave.

The Five Great Knights have always been a symbol of the Empire's military might and representatives of the Empire's individual strength. The Empire can make the Five Great Knights of all generations loyal to the royal family simply by binding them with honor.

Only a traitor like Renekton would need the "Gem of Will" that can control the five knights. In fact, this is the first time that this "insurance" has been used by the imperial royal family.

It should also be the last time.

Another thing that no one expected was that Ye He's "corpse" was thrown off a cliff by the two soldiers and fell into the sea...

Renekton's coup had not even been completely completed, and Ye He was already sitting in the deserted tavern in Sanshiliudu, drinking.

"How interesting...the reason is so crude."

Ye He looked with interest at the Thirty-Sixth City that was under street cleaning control. His chest was wrapped in a layer of silver tissue.

Camelot!
The "quantity" of this nanorobot system is enough to completely wrap Ye He, simulating an intact heart to restore Ye He's ability to move, which is naturally not a problem.

So even after being controlled by Renekton, the Ice Knight tried to kill Ye He, piercing and freezing the heart of Ye He's body.

What does it matter?

Touching the beating simulated heart inside his chest, Ye He chuckled and shook his head.

He knew that his last words would make the Ice Knight remember him for the rest of his life, and he would be shocked when they met again in the near future.

"They will seal Renekton permanently after the final battle between Renekton and the Lord of Anomaly."

An old man sitting at the table next to Ye He suddenly explained to Ye He.

He raised his head and saw the face of Emperor Leathers under the hood.

"So amazing, you are worthy of being an emperor!"

Ye He sincerely applauded the old immortal who had faked his death and escaped, and praised him bluntly:

"The Lord of Anomalies; the brothers who have always had rebellious intentions; the five major families that are gradually parasitizing and eroding the resources of the empire...

You just selectively ignored some messages and went with the flow, and solved all the troubles at once. What a clever trick, I will never be able to learn it!"

"Oh? You can actually see through the truth to this extent? It seems that it is not accidental that you were able to deceive Renekton and find my safe house."

Laces returned Ye He's admiring look. He just couldn't help but have a fantasy for a moment, could this young man be the blood of his family?

If so, that would be great!
But there is one thing that Lesos hasn't figured out yet, which is... what does this kid want to do?
He suddenly appeared and used powerful explosives to help the Empire fight the mutation... He got all five knights into bed and even served him together...

Also, how did this guy find out that there was something wrong with Renekton? He didn't have time to investigate the problems of the five knights' families in just a few days.

But in this extremely chaotic situation, this kid was able to stay out of it like himself, and was the only one who saw the truth clearly.

Oh yes, there is one little "truth" that he can't see clearly.

Emperor Leisus suddenly smiled. It seemed that he was still the only one who "saw through everything"...

"You are the one who caused the mutation, right?"

As soon as Ye He opened his mouth, Leathers' smile froze on his face.

He raised his lips to Lesos:
“It’s too obvious. Although the Imperial Army cannot get too close to the source of those anomalies, with the Empire’s long-range firepower, it is entirely possible to eliminate all abnormalities in the bud.

Even now, you still have a backup plan for when Renekton loses to the Anomaly, so you can pull it out to turn the tables, am I right?"

"right……"

Laces looked at Yehe with great emotion. In his decades of career as an emperor, this was the first time he wanted to kill someone sincerely.

"hehe."

Ye He used a more sarcastic smile to make Lesos put away the murderous intent in his eyes, and turned his head away and no longer looked at Ye He.

Regardless of the young man's origins and ultimate goals, the motives and actions he now displays are beneficial to Leathers.

There was no way that Laces would risk ruining the chess game himself and offend Ye He at this time.

Ye He also smiled and looked away, looking out the window again.

The reason why he could see through everything was simple: those girls and the five knights!

Their noble origins...and their hereditary status as the "Five Great Knights" all told Ye He that the families behind them were the "backbone" of the empire.

But the source of this "mainstay" power is just those few sets of armor, and it actually has little to do with who wears them.

So it would be strange that the emperor was not afraid of the growing family behind them.

As for the elder brother's strategy of using the same trick on his younger brother, this involves the Caesar surveillance network that Yehe had already laid out throughout the Thirty-Six Cities.

When Leathers replaced his real body with a substitute, making Leathers think that he had succeeded, Ye He naturally knew the truth.

As for the fact that "the mutation was summoned by the emperor himself", Ye He only half guessed the truth.

The range of those elemental cannons was calculated by Ye He using Caesar, which indirectly confirmed his own guess.

That's all, but it's enough for Ye He.
