Strange Star Witch

Chapter 424 Reputation

"Who can find Master Kedrick?"

This is the answer Alberto and Paulus long for 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 count was worried about might be that the count would lose a son, and a son with a promising future!

Half an hour later, Paulus stopped in front of Alberto and stared at him with horrified eyes.

"Step aside!"

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 Kedric 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, smashed the door, and the door frame fell off the wall. 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 Kaleb.

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 Kaleb must know something, and he said: "There is some military information that needs to be known to the commander."

He deliberately emphasized the count's other identity, Commander of the Royal Navy's Western Fleet. This was to remind Caleb that what happened next was 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 resolute, and there was nothing he could do tonight.

"Chief of Staff Alberto, I won't delay your military duties. I'm here to arrest Paulus. He betrayed the Golden Anchor family and actually framed Kedrick!"

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 what Caleb said, 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 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 lowered his eyes. It was a bad choice.

Either he takes all the responsibility on his own and places his hope on Caleb's conscience. Or he betrays Caleb and is 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."

With a cold face, Caleb motioned to the attendant next to him to arrest 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 contribution is even more important than sinking a Constitutional Army warship at sea, and it will definitely receive a higher level of reward.

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 Codor, 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 Kedrick's most important outer edge.

It would be good if the 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 calculation in this even made Pallu a little happy. Kaleb's plan was good. No matter what, Kedrick would be the loser.

However, all this changed fundamentally because the furnace took away Kedric.

Of course, it is impossible for Kedrick to follow the furnace to the Carolingian Kingdom, but just sending the furnace a short distance may put Kedrick into great danger. This is why Mr. Child suddenly got a divination result from the lake.

.

Not long after, Caleb entered the war room with Paulus tied up.

"Father! Paulus designed to frame the Forge for its witchcraft. Now there is bad news. Kedric may have followed the Forge and entered the encirclement of the Constitutional Army!"

"That's it..." Count Pallu looked at his proud son and said with some disappointment:

"You are all excellent, and each one has more ideas than the other. However, this is the promise I made to the furnace. Have any of you considered my credibility?"

In this incident, Earl Golden Anchor's will was distorted, and more importantly, Earl Golden Anchor lost all face and actually broke his promise.

It is not that promises cannot be broken. Some promises are made just to make the enemy relax their vigilance. However, Count Pallu did not think so, and he also became a victim.

Facing his father's questioning, Caleb didn't know how to answer, and his veins popped out.

"Come on, the furnace's plan is more important than you think. Just to destroy the Carolingian Kingdom's war supplies, the furnace cannot be given to the Wizarding Council tonight."
