Chapter 268 The Truth x Meat Grinder
"Let's discuss now what the West Empire should do next?"
West Caesar said calmly, no emotion could be heard in his tone.
But this bland tone made the ministers feel even more frightened.
After a moment's silence, the Minister of Defense said excitedly: "Revenge! We must retaliate and save the face of the Wester Empire."
Many people nodded in agreement, even West Caesar nodded slightly.
Seeing this, the ministers who were well versed in observing people's words and expressions did not raise any objections.
The general direction was quickly determined.
Just as the Wester Empire was planning to gather its military forces for revenge, representatives from the World Government and the kingdoms of the West Sea arrived at the Wester Empire.
West Caesar knew the intention of the World Government.
He steadfastly rejected the World Government's mediation and insisted on his own way, attempting to restore his dignity through war.
After knowing the result of the negotiation, Xia Jieren smiled slightly.
He was not surprised by this result.
How could the West Empire easily let go of the force that crushed its dignity?
However, Xia Jieren didn't care about this at all.
His eyes stayed on a video clip, and he smiled: "I hope the West Empire likes the gift I gave them."
The next day.
A piece of explosive news spread across the West Sea at lightning speed.
"Shock! The mastermind behind the Mafei Island incident turned out to be"
Who Killed Elliot Lindsay?
What is the purpose of trying to provoke a war between countries?
The one who profited from the misfortune was actually him
"..."
Newspapers across the West Sea described the entire process of the Mafi Island incident in detail, and then pointed out that the murderer of Elliot Lindsay was David Carter, Count of the Golden Lion Empire. Finally, combined with the currently known evidence, it was speculated that David Carter was the mastermind behind the entire incident.
The newspaper also thoughtfully included a picture of David Carter stabbing Elliot Lindsay in the heart.
The pictures are high-definition and uncensored, with great shooting angles and full of details.
No one doubted the authenticity of the photo.
"Hey! Hey! Is this true?"
"It's terrible that David Carter set up such a big scheme."
"What exactly does the Golden Lion Empire want to do? Do they want to unify the West Sea?"
"impossible?"
"No! It's very possible."
"..."
There was a lot of discussion in various parts of Xihai, and various conspiracy theories emerged one after another.
Golden Lion Empire, Earl David's Palace.
David Carter looked at the picture in the newspaper in astonishment and murmured, "How is it possible!"
"Why would someone film my every move when I clearly..."
Before he could figure it out, he heard a servant come to report: "His Majesty the Emperor invites him to the palace for an audience."
David Carter quickly stood up and walked quickly towards the palace.
Along the way, he kept thinking about how to explain to His Majesty the Emperor.
After a while, David Carter walked out of the palace.
Unexpectedly, His Majesty the Emperor did not blame David Carter, but instead praised him for eliminating a future major enemy for the Golden Lion Empire.
However, David Carter still needs to explain to the outside world that the Mafi Island incident was a deliberate frame-up.
In short, David Carter's clarification announcement has been issued, and whether outsiders believe it or not is not something he can control.
Flagship of the Wester Empire's Third Fleet.
"Puff!" After seeing David Carter frankly admit that he was the one who killed Elliot Lindsay, Duke Elliot couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Son!" His eyes were filled with tears and his voice was sad.
After his emotions calmed down a little, Duke Elliot stared at David Carter's photo and said to himself: "Don't worry, son. I will definitely avenge you."
"Davi...Carter..." Duke Elliot gritted his teeth and shouted the murderer's name word by word.
Now his hatred for David Carter had reached its peak.
Wester Empire, imperial capital, imperial palace.
The familiar sounds of smashing and looting rang out in the palace.
"Damn it! Our West Empire has become a laughing stock now."
"We were tossed around like monkeys."
Veins on West Caesar's forehead throbbed with rage.
"Call the ministers! Go!" he roared angrily.
"Yes!"
The servant ran in panic to convey the order.
After half an hour.
Ministers arrived one after another.
Maybe it was because they were tired or frightened by West Caesar’s gloomy face, but beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads.
"Put aside our actions against the Kingdom of the Netherlands for now and prepare for war with the Golden Lion Empire." West Caesar ordered in an unquestionable tone.
"Yes!" The ministers responded with their heads lowered upon seeing this.
Afterwards, they discussed some details of the war.
The war preparations of the past two days were not in vain, it’s just that the target of attack has changed.
The Wester Empire acted very quickly.
After three days of preparation, they launched a fierce offensive against the Golden Lion Empire.
Both sides assembled nearly a million troops at the border.
Countless people died in battle every day.
The border between the Golden Lion Empire and the West Empire has turned into a huge meat grinder, constantly devouring lives.
a week later.
Duke Elliot returned to the Wester Empire.
He first apologized to the Emperor, and then offered to go to the battlefield to redeem himself.
Duke Elliot also deployed 80% of the Elliot family's strength into the battlefield.
West Caesar was very pleased with Duke Elliot's decision.
The punishment originally intended for Duke Elliot was also withdrawn.
After Duke Elliot joined the border battlefield, he seemed to have turned into a killing god, striking without mercy wherever he went.
In just a few days, countless captives and border residents died tragically at the hands of Duke Elliot's sword.
Duke Elliot's crazy massacre attracted criticism from many people, but he didn't care and continued to do as he pleased.
West Caesar understood Duke Elliot's hatred, so he chose to ignore it.
However, when news of Duke Elliot's behavior reached the Golden Lion Empire, it immediately caused an uproar.
The voices of the people of the Golden Lion Empire against the West Empire are growing louder day by day.
Countless aspiring young people enthusiastically joined the army.
The war between the Golden Lion Empire and the Wester Empire broke out so suddenly that all parties were caught off guard.
Of course, they had no intention of getting involved and just wanted to stand by and watch the fun, or make a fortune from the war.
The world government is even more pleased with this.
Instead of trying to mediate, they sent more CP members to infiltrate the two countries.
Once the intensity of the war between the two sides decreases, assassinate a wave of commanders and put the blame on the enemy country.
They are bound to muddy the waters.
"The effect is far better than expected." Xia Jieren sighed as he watched the fierce battle between the Golden Lion Empire and the West Empire.
The picture about David Carter killing Elliot Lindsay was released by Xia Jieren, and the newspaper content was also provided by Xia Jieren.
