Chapter 581 Let Su Chen consider it?

The appearance of the suspected war magician Joseph who disappeared earlier made the already extremely complicated situation even more complicated.

The general changed three magicians in a row and got a similar answer. It was almost certain that Joseph was the one who used the explosive magic, and then decisively returned to the military camp.

From then on, no matter where he went, he was accompanied by more than twenty guards and three magicians for personal protection.

no way.

The war magician Joseph has mysteriously disappeared for some time.

During this time, Joseph never showed up, making people doubt whether he was a traitor.

Now the general is not sure whether Joseph is a friend or an enemy!

There are many cases like this in previous history where former loyalists of the empire turned into fanatics of the White Night God Cult overnight.

During the war, the White Night Cult tried to defeat the empire.

There was a secret plan to control the minds of the high-ranking nobles in the empire through some extremely secretive parasite.

Initially, the plan caused great damage to the empire and even affected the outcome of the war.

It was not until later that Heavenly Man personally inspected and discovered the existence of parasites that the situation was greatly improved.

But until today, there is no good way to ensure that parasites cannot infect the imperial nobles.

It can only be avoided as much as possible.

The general suspected that Joseph was accidentally robbed by a strong man from the White Night Sect.

Later, on the road, he was artificially implanted with a parasite that controlled his brain.

This is his most likely realistic guess based on past experience.

Faced with this situation, after careful consideration, the general finally chose to apply for superior intervention.

At present, he and his army group can no longer guarantee that they can firmly control the local situation.

The imperial nobles must be asked to send more powerful men to stabilize the local situation!

Su Chen was hidden in the darkness, with a lot of magic superimposed on his body that reduced his sense of existence.

After peeking at the decision made by the general, I couldn't help laughing.

Fortunately, he added three layers of soundproof formation around him, otherwise he might be discovered by the patrolling guards around him.

"Very well, that's how it is."

"Keep guessing."

"As long as you firmly believe that the situation here is extremely urgent and extremely dangerous."

"And keep reporting it."

"Sooner or later, my fellow villagers will show up in person and come to investigate the situation here."

Waves of weak laughter came from his mouth.

Su Chen took a step back, his whole body completely immersed in darkness.

In a daze, when I looked in that corner, half of the figure was already gone.

Back home, Su Chen thought about what to do next.

He planned to establish Joseph as a model who secretly fought against the White Night Cult, and in this way indirectly controlled the empire's reaction.

It ensures that they continue to increase the amount of money, but they don't overturn the whole table and directly engage in massacre of the city.

Su Chen wanted to catch big fish, but he didn't want to kill an entire city. Once this happened, he would be passive.

After all, Su Chen couldn't just watch an entire city being massacred because of himself, so he definitely had to take the initiative to stand up and face the empire.

At that time, the initiative was in the hands of the heavenly beings in the empire, not in his hands.

"Well, just do this..."

Su Chen leaned on the sofa, his eyes flickering for a while, and finally finalized the detailed plan for the future.

Not far away, Joseph, who was pondering the magic of the divine world, sneezed again and raised his head with doubts on his face.

"Why do I feel like someone has ill intentions towards me again?"

…

Since the town was controlled, no matter day or night, the streets were filled with soldiers wearing black armor and patrols going back and forth.

People who have a lot of money at home can still keep their composure and live a relatively comfortable life by bribing patrol soldiers.

You can eat and drink as you should on weekdays, and there is no shortage of daily necessities.

Those poor people did not have such confidence. They were soon emptied of their wealth and thought about going out to work all day long.

In times of war, these people's final fate may be to starve to death at home, or to be chopped in two by soldiers when making trouble.

But now is the age of peace, and the empire has been at peace for a long time. Even the most elite army group in the empire has lost a lot of the smell of rust and blood.

Even if the soldiers were impatient, the army group was even more reluctant to pay for it.

Considering the impact, the general allocated part of the military expenditure to purchase bread at a price lower than the market price and distributed it to the poor.

An adult male is given three fist-sized pieces of black bread, a woman is given two and a half pieces, and a child is given one piece.

This small amount of food is enough to prevent them from starving to death. Over time, their bodies will inevitably suffer from various problems due to lack of nutrients.

These are not things that the general considers.

In contrast, he gave full play to his idea of ​​​​taking pleasure in hardship and planned to turn losses into profits!

"Usually, you high-ranking imperial nobles and first- and second-class citizens don't hesitate to donate your pocket money to charitable foundations to show your kindness."

"Now that the empire has reached a time when it needs your kindness, how can you not be kind?"

The general rolled his eyes and decided on the spot to hold a fundraiser.

Part of the money raised was used as military expenses, part went into his own pocket, and the last part was used as food expenses for the poor.

Su Chen was out all day preparing for things, and it was Xiao Ningxue who received the imperial officers who came to inform him.

Out of respect for the first-class citizen status, the other party was very good and did not neglect him at all.

The proper etiquette, courtesy, and respect were all done to the extent that no one could find fault with them.

But in contrast, the other party's attitude was extremely tough.

In his words, he almost said: "You rich guys, you must attend the charity conference this time."

"If anyone doesn't go, I have a reasonable suspicion that you have secretly hidden the White Night Cult in your home. Don't tell me that you are innocent and have nothing to do with the White Night Cult."

"I said you have a relationship with the cultists, you have a relationship with the cultists!"

"Even if there is no evidence, the evidence will fall from the sky and drill out of the ground!"

"When a scholar meets a soldier, he can't explain himself!"

"You should think about it carefully."

The gangster tradition of the Imperial Army was fully demonstrated in these people.

Xiao Ningxue just felt funny. After sending off the imperial officer, she said hello to Joseph and went back to the window to continue reading books and newspapers.

Until Su Chen came back and learned about this, his eyes suddenly lit up!

"Good news!"
