Reincarnation NPC, but Arknights

Bai Ye continued, "My friend is a survivor and witness of that incident. Through him, you can impeach and try those conservative nobles involved in the incident in Parliament. At the same time, you can also take this opportunity to send special agents to intervene in the army to conduct an investigation."

"This is your chance. In the Imperial Army Groups, the Third and Fourth Armies have always been controlled by the old nobles' pro-war faction."

"If you can get involved, you'll have a chance to bring both army groups under your control as well..."

"All we want is a fair trial."

Speaker Witte remained silent.

After a moment, he looked at Bai Ye and said, "I will explain these things to His Majesty."

“I cannot make any promises, but I will do my best, and His Majesty will make his wise decision.”

Bai Ye nodded and said gratefully, "That's enough."

In truth, Bai Ye didn't care whether the Empire could truly put these guys to trial. He only needed the Empire's reformist royalists to keep the Third and Fourth Armies occupied, allowing them to take the opportunity to enter Chernobog. Moreover, after the matter was settled, they would have room to maneuver with the Empire.

In short, it means that someone can stop the two army groups from acting on their own, while also restraining Grand Prince Baikal, Viscount Dunkel, and the deputy division commander of the Third Army and governor of Rosin.

Once the Reunion Movement captures the core city of Chernobog, they will move out of the Army Group's control range, and the suppressed forces will be unable to send troops to encircle and suppress them in time, then they will have succeeded.

It should be understood that deploying troops without the emperor's permission is sufficient to constitute treason, and those under investigation would not be able to directly pursue Chernobog.

This is also one of the few opportunities the Reunion Movement has.

Once freed from the control of the Imperial army, Bai Ye can continue negotiating with Speaker Witt and Fyodor Vladimirovich, and then resolve the issue of legitimacy.

Bai Ye knew that the first major version update and changes would arrive at that time, attracting more players and unlocking new features. This would give him more leverage in negotiations with the Empire.

"I look forward to your good news. By the way, if you make a decision, please make sure to protect our witnesses."

Bai Ye then took his leave.

He left the suitcase behind.

It contains evidence of crimes committed by Marquis Boris and Grand Prince Baikal.

In the study, only Speaker Witt remained, lost in thought.

-------------------------------------

For the next few days, Bai Ye and Skadi spent their time in their hotel room.

Including Sergei.

Sergei had no complaints about this near-isolation; he spent his days recalling and organizing, trying to find more evidence and details.

As a scientist, he was undoubtedly intelligent, and therefore, these painful memories remained etched in his heart.

Bai Ye and Skadi rested in the suite's living room. Bai Ye used this opportunity to concoct new potions and develop Originium Arts, while Skadi usually chose to sleep or play video games to pass the time.

The hotel was calm, but undercurrents were beginning to stir throughout Saint-Germain Castle.

Rumors and news spread like wildfire.

It is said that the Speaker of Parliament angrily rebuked the ministers and members of parliament during the meeting.

His Majesty Emperor Fyodor Vladimirovich and the Speaker of the Council had a long meeting and conversation.

There were even rumors that the emperor angrily rebuked the imperial guards.

Of course, the last one didn't spread very widely before it came to an abrupt end.

In short, a new storm is brewing within Saint-Germain Castle.

Chapter 59 Didn't you say everything was going according to plan?

"I feel like something's not right; it's been too quiet around me lately."

Sergei stood by the window, looking worriedly at the street outside the hotel. It was only around four o'clock in the afternoon, but there wasn't a soul in sight.

However, it seemed that only Sergei was worried in the room.

What is Bai Ye doing?

-

"From underwater..."

"From underwater..."

"I definitely won't dive in the next round."

"From underwater..."

Okay, he's still playing games.

As for Skadi, this absurd girl who can fall from a height of forty meters without injury is currently fast asleep on the sofa next to Bai Ye, hissing and snoring.

Sergei felt somewhat powerless; these two guys just didn't seem very reliable.

"I underestimated the world's gaming industry... Not only have VR games been created in Colombia, but even the Civilization series has..."

Because he was really bored, Bai Ye started playing games. He had just started a game in Ursus.

Just as Bai Ye took a picture of his city beside the frozen ground, the door to his hotel room suddenly shattered.

The next moment, Bai Ye's figure had disappeared from the spot.

A loud metallic clang echoed in the room.

Bai Ye crouched on the ground, gripping his sword with both hands, blocking an Ursus scimitar.

The furniture in the living room had been torn apart by the fierce airflow, leaving the entire room in a mess.

"That's unethical! I just started the game!"

Bai Ye slowly exerted his strength, lifted the curved blade, and stood up straight.

An internal security guard stood in the center of the living room, with the shattered door panel at his feet.

"Hey, hey, the innkeeper will be devastated!"

Bai Ye sheathed his sword, twirled it, and then looked at the emperor's blade.

"The mission objective is the most important."

The guard said in a deep voice, then turned to stare at Bai Ye: "Hiss—whoosh—what you're doing now is completely different from the agreed plan."

"Who are you……"

Bai Ye was taken aback at first, then tilted his head and stared at the guard for a while before remembering that he seemed to have met him before on the frozen ground.

Oh, right, it seems I just casually fooled him back then.

"Everything is going according to plan..."

That's probably how he answered.

Bai Ye was a little embarrassed. Good heavens, these guys actually came to him on their own.

but……

"If there were only one bodyguard, I wouldn't be afraid anymore..."

The air currents around Bai Ye's body began to surge, and thick nitrogen armor covered his body.

Bai Ye put down his sword and clashed his fists together.

"Plan? What I was talking about before was my plan."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Ye felt a whooshing sound behind him. He turned his head and saw a black spear grazing his armor, piercing through the wall of the inn room, and exploding in the corridor.

The second guard burst in through the window.

Bai Ye looked up; he knew that third place was right above him.

"Three of them... This is getting complicated... Titi, help me!"

Bai Ye shouted immediately.

"boom--"

This time, the door to the room was broken open, and Skadi rushed out carrying her greatsword. As the guards stormed into the suite, she grabbed Sergei and retreated into the bedroom.

Now, Sergei was stuffed into the wardrobe, and then she rushed out with her greatsword.

Skadi swung her greatsword, and even that simple movement created a violent gust of wind.

The guard who burst into the room through the window barely managed to raise his curved sword before being sent flying, sword and all.

The guards slammed heavily against the wall. They weren't known for their physical strength; their power lay in the magic and abilities they possessed after being modified by the demonic fragments.

"Hiss—this level of physical strength…you're Agor's deep-sea hunter…"

The guard's tone of voice had changed.

In a head-on confrontation, they are no match for Skadi.

“Let’s stop this. If your straitjackets break, it will create a wave of fear in the city of Saint-Germain. At that point, it won’t be as simple as this little skirmish.”

White Night gently floated up and landed beside Skadi.

The guards fell silent. They couldn't understand why this guy was always surrounded by all sorts of people, from the pure-blooded Wendigo of the Patriot to this Deepsea Hunter.

In a sense, the Emperor's inner guard and the Deepsea Hunters are the same thing; they were created to fight against the enemies of civilization.

The Inner Guard was created by modifying fragments of demons, while the Deepsea Hunter was a war machine created by combining the Agorians with the Sealings through a mysterious bio-chimerism technique.

Now, it's indeed not a good time to continue.

“I have doubts about your loyalty.” Bai Ye decided to strike first. “You keep saying you are loyal to the Emperor, yet you have secretly made a deal with the Black Serpent. You think he doesn’t need to know these things, which is a desecration of loyalty.”

“Our loyalty is not for outsiders to judge,” Inner Mongolia said firmly.

“Now, your original plan has failed.” Bai Ye grinned. “I think it’s time to stop here.”

"The era of profiting from war is over. This land can no longer withstand a war between two superpowers."

Bai Ye sighed: "You don't want to see the Empire's vital forces exhausted in this war either. Don't forget, our enemy is still outside of civilization."

"So you do know about the demons. You know far too much. How do you know these darkest secrets?" The guard's tone turned sharp.

Bai Ye smiled, looking at the inner guard holding the Ursus scimitar, and said softly, "It's not just you inner guards who have fought them. No, I'm sure you haven't fought them yet. Compared to those predecessors who survived the death battle in Sunset Canyon, you are still far behind."

Bai Ye did indeed fight against demons.

But that was in a previous life.

However, this does not stop Bai Ye from bringing it up and discussing it.

The guard fell silent. From his tone and expression, it was clear that Bai Ye's words were true, especially considering the presence of the deep-sea hunter beside him...

"let's go."

The guards left.

Before leaving, the head guard stared at Bai Ye with his scarlet eyes and said, word by word, "Remember, I will always be watching you."

"Don't give me an opportunity."

Then, pointing to the bedroom, he said, “His Majesty has made a decision. He is determined to take action against the conservatives, and we will take this man with us. His Majesty said that his safety will be the responsibility of us personally.”

Bai Ye nodded, then took out an ancient Sarkaz gold coin from his pocket.

“Do you know what this is? It’s an ancient Sarkaz spell. If Mr. Sergei is in critical condition, the gold coin in my hand will shatter.”

"So you have to keep him alive. If he dies, I can't guarantee what I'll do."

Chapter Sixty: Skadi's Strangeness

In the end, Bai Ye still had the Imperial Guards take Sergei away. With the Emperor's personal arrangements, his safety should be guaranteed.

As a key figure in restraining the conservatives, he will obviously be carefully protected.

Before leaving, Bai Ye returned Sergei's briefcase to him.

The battles to come will be beyond the reach of Bai Ye and Skadi; ​​some tedious but classic scenes will unfold in the Imperial Council or the Ursus Emperor's palace.

After the guards left, all that remained was a messy hotel room and trash scattered all over the floor.

Skadi swung her arm and planted the greatsword in the floor: "That last blow felt pretty good."

"Physical strength is not their forte." Bai Ye opened his attribute panel.
