Doomsday Code

Chapter 424 Analysis of the Real Enemy

Huidun sighed heavily and said:

"I don't know if going back this time will be a blessing or a curse. You are such a precious child, and now I'm afraid I can't hide it even if I want to."

Hearing Huidun's cheesy words, Chen Cheng couldn't help but shudder, and then said:

"Don't be like that."

"Besides, you are a prince after all. I am your subject now. How dare they come to Huidun City to do anything?"

Huidun shook his head and said:

"As long as those families still recognize themselves as part of the kingdom, it will be easy to deal with them, but what about other organizations?"

"I believe you have seen the means used by the boss this time. He is obviously a member of the church now. Are there any people from the Academy Alliance and the Adventurer's Guild among these people?"

"Besides, this time, because of you, many people got out alive. With so many people talking about it, who knows if the news will spread to the entire continent.

Those powerful kingdoms hold many ancient ruins that are as difficult to decipher as Kepler's. Will they send people to kidnap you in order to develop the ruins?"

As he spoke, one could see the visibly exhausted look on Huidun's face.

"To be honest, when I left, I really wanted to kill everyone with artillery. Thinking about these problems, I felt like I was going crazy."

Seeing that Huidun was about to go crazy, Chen Cheng interrupted him:

“These are just your mental anxieties, and I believe that the artillery we bring out this time should be more attractive than me.

So now we should be concerned about other forces' interest in the artillery factory, not me."

“And even if they want to come to me later, I believe it will take a long time.

And perhaps during this period of time, our great cause has been accomplished.

At that time, I will be free and can travel around the continent. "

Huidun rubbed his face, then looked at Chen Cheng and said:

"Okay, then I believe you."

Although Huidun said that he believed it, there was still a hint of worry in his eyes.

"Okay, I think we should think about our future plans. This time, there will obviously be a third party involved besides the eldest prince.

The group of people who attacked us the night we arrived should not be the Great Prince's men. The person behind this should be the same person who entered the ruins and wanted to lock the door to the library area when we entered the ruins."

Chen Cheng's words also attracted Huidun's attention. He frowned and thought:

"Actually, I have some thoughts on this matter."

As he spoke, Huidun took out a piece of cloth he had seen on the ground that night from his space pocket.

On the inside of the cloth is an Ouroboros-shaped pattern embroidered on it.

“This should be a sign of the family or power behind that group of people, and judging from their actions that night, it is obvious that they are aware of the overall strength of our team.

The fact that they were able to bring out so many gold-level experts at once is enough to show that the person behind this must be quite powerful.”

"And judging from the hostility shown by the people we have seen since entering the ruins, the defeat of this group of people should not be a big problem for them or their forces."

Chen Cheng then also analyzed.

After this analysis, the results can actually lock down a certain group of people.

Because among the hundreds of people who went there, although they were all children of big families, there were still differences between these big families.

And being able to bring out so many gold-level experts at once, and not caring about the casualties, the scope of this person can already be determined.

Apart from a few princes, there are Florina, Monet and Xiaorou.

In addition to their own fiefdoms and subjects, these princes also have the power of their mother clans, so it is normal that they can bring out so many powerful men.

As for Florina, Monet, Xiaorou and the other two, the families behind them are among the best among these people.

Among them, Xiaorou and Huiming's family mainly practice perception-type auxiliary magic, so they have a deep background in the military.

So she can be ruled out.

The priest family to which Monet belonged was in the south of the kingdom, a place where officials and businessmen coexisted.

In recent years, the textile machines invented by Chen Cheng have allowed the exchanges between Huidun City and the Siduo family to become increasingly deeper, so from the perspective of common interests, his suspicion can actually be ruled out.

As for Florina's family, it's a little hard to say.

Her Buji family has a deep military background. It can be said that their ancestor was the general who followed Moss I to conquer the Moss Kingdom.

To put it bluntly, their family shares the same origin as the entire Kingdom of Moss.

Now in the midst of a fight for succession, the Buji family has not shown any inclination, but this does not mean that their family has secretly chosen one side.

Thinking of this, Chen Cheng thought of the history of the formulation of the new national policy that Huidun had told him about.

It seems that in the last foreign war of the Kingdom of Moss, Flinna's father was under the command of Xiao Dun's father Solo.

"Lord Xiao Dun, I seem to remember that the current head of the Buji family seemed to have served under Marquis Solo before. I wonder what kind of person this head of the Buji family is.

Or, in other words, does he support the change in national policy of His Majesty the Thirteenth King? "

As soon as Chen Cheng said this, Huidun and the others knew that Chen Cheng was suspicious of the family that Florina belonged to.

Xiao Dun frowned and thought back, because his father had told him a lot about military matters, so naturally he also talked about the matters concerning the head of the Buji family under his command.

Finally, Xiao Dun shook his head and said:

"I'm not sure about this. My father only told me that Buggy Pace and his army were very powerful. I've never heard that he had any intention of opposing national policy."

Then Xiao Dun said:

“And after the national policy was formulated, His Majesty ordered a large-scale reduction in the military, especially the aristocratic armies like the Bugi Pace. Many of them were among those to be reduced.

So he probably didn’t even have the opportunity to submit a petition, and he and his troops were disbanded after receiving their final military rewards.”

When Chen Cheng heard this, he raised his eyebrows.

"Oh, he fought bravely, led the troops by example, and won great military exploits. Then he returned home after defeating the enemy. What awaited him was not flowers and applause but a layoff order. If it were you, what would you think?"

Without Chen Cheng's explanation, Huidun and the others could naturally understand the meaning of Chen Cheng's words.

"But this is not right. Why would he send someone to kill me? I am just a prince who was banished to a remote place and is not favored."

But Chen Cheng shook his head and said:

“No, no, no, in fact, Your Highness, you are wrong about one thing. It is not the Buji family who wants to kill you, because they will not gain anything by killing you.

The one who really wanted to kill you was a prince chosen by the Buji family. It must have been him who gave the order to kill you."

"And don't forget, among all the princes, Your Highness is the most active in catering to national policy. How do you think the Buji family views you?"
