"Host, do you hope to influence your enemies with love?" the system asked.

"Your idea is very dangerous." Li Yuebai said, "Give it up immediately and don't think about it."

"I have read a lot of information. In the world where you were born, there are many literary works in which extremely evil people are reformed and turn from evil to good, thus redeeming their sins." The system said, "In addition, there are also a large number of real-life cases."

"It is precisely because such situations are so rare and dramatic that they are mentioned repeatedly in literary and artistic works. They are part of human beings' beautiful expectations." Li Yuebai said: "Among all the cases, such beautiful plots only account for a small part. We should not gamble on this probability."

"So why did you tell Cecil so much?" The system is angry?

"…Just kidding." Li Yuebai answered confidently.

Outside the porthole, the familiar planet was getting closer and closer.

The moment he arrived at Amiens, Li Yuebai became extremely alert.

"System, what is the situation on the ground now?" In a dangerous moment, you must first find the system to understand the situation: "Has Marshal Augustan set up cannons at the garrison, ready to shoot us down at any time?"

"Host, you are too vigilant." The system said: "No, not at all."

"Really?" Li Yuebai was skeptical.

"Everything is going on as normal here."

By this time, Marshal Augustin should have received feedback on the failure of Cizer's plan.

"Marshal, you already know that the plan has failed, don't you plan to take any countermeasures?" Li Yuebai frowned.

"The failure of a small plan is nothing. The Marshal has not suffered any loss, so he certainly won't be so nervous as to throw everything at the stake." The system soothed, "Host, you are too sensitive."

"Maybe." Li Yuebai rubbed his temples: "I can't wait to have a good fight with those bastards..."

"The biggest bastard is right next to you now," the system reminded.

"Okay." Li Yuebai looked at Cecil beside him.

Along the way, he had conveyed a message to Sizel through words and actions - Fleet X would never be surrendered.

If Cecil's thinking was not so rigid, he might have already started looking for new ways, such as... pulling himself together? For example, simply not considering Fleet X, for example... too many to count.

The current marshal certainly could not be so impatient to greet him with artillery fire, after all, César was also on the flagship.

After landing, Li Yuebai declined the request to hold a celebration party in Zazha, said goodbye to Cecil as quickly as possible, and then hid in Lei's private office.

It's relatively safe here. There are trustworthy soldiers guarding the door. I can tell the truth.

"Longyue, do you have something to say?" Lei was finally able to express the doubts that he had been holding back all the way.

"We don't have much time." Li Yuebai said: "Lei, will you believe me?"

"What do you think?" Lei frowned and asked, "My only friend?"

"Okay." Li Yuebai said solemnly: "Regarding the cause of this accident...

"Don't talk about it." Lei decisively interrupted the topic. He took out a cigar from the cigarette box, lit it, sat down on the black chair, and avoided Li Yuebai's eyes: "The military will set up a relevant investigation team to investigate the cause of the accident. Longyue, don't get involved."

"But I'm already involved." Li Yuebai sighed: "I've made this trip myself, can I still stay out of it now?"

After just a few sentences, Li Yuebai understood - Lei also knew that there was something wrong with this accident, but he didn't want to make a big deal out of it and implicate Longyue.

"We can't hide from it." Li Yuebai stepped forward and placed his hands on Lei's shoulders meaningfully: "This is not a simple frame-up. If we keep hiding, we will all die."

Lei's original behavior had always been to protect Longyue in a dictatorial manner. However, now, seeing Longyue showing such an aggressive look, Lei couldn't help but be moved. After a long silence, he decided to tell everything without disguising anything.

"As for the cause of the accident, I can only tell you what I know." Lei lowered his voice to the lowest level: "On the holographic star map of my flagship, there is no abnormal black hole at all. The route was smooth and there was no warning at all."

"According to common sense, such an obvious deformed black hole cannot be left unmarked on the star map." Li Yuebai frowned and asked, "Who is the officer in charge of transmitting the star map in the ground control room?"

"It's Lieutenant Colonel A." Lei spit out a name.

"Lieutenant Colonel A would not have done something that would have led to a military court without authorization. He does not have enough authority. He is just a puppet, and the people who manipulate him are in high places." Li Yuebai looked at Lei with a calm gaze.

In fact, at this point, the answer couldn't be clearer.

Apart from the Marshal, no one else has the authority to do such a thing.

"You mean..."

"right."

"But this is too obvious." Lei frowned and said, "If the plan fails, I will immediately guess that it was him who did it. Isn't he afraid that I will report this to the Pope and the Prime Minister? Once the Pope and the Prime Minister have a grasp of his crime..."

"The key is here. We have no evidence." Li Yuebai said, "Without evidence to prove that this gentleman did it, the Pope and the Prime Minister will not be able to seize this opportunity even if they know."

"Lieutenant Colonel A can serve as a witness."

"Who do you think he will use as a witness?" Li Yuebai smiled bitterly. "Who do you think he will put the blame on? Lieutenant Colonel A can definitely say that it was you - General Ares who erased the existence of the deformed black hole from the star map."

"Are you kidding? Why would I do something that almost killed myself?" Lei laughed angrily.

"Because you are too radical." Li Yuebai said: "Recently, everything you have done to expand the military force has been based on radicalism, without considering other aspects. It is entirely possible that you have erased the existence of the deformed black hole on the star map in order to facilitate this expedition. After all, you may not encounter it during the voyage. You are a bold and reckless pioneer who never cherishes your own life or the lives of your men. Everyone knows it and everyone believes it."

Lei's fingers moved slightly, crushing the cigar in his hand. He was obviously angry. However, no matter how angry he was, he could not refute these words.

"So," Lei sneered, "Is all the blame for this incident on me?"

"yes."

"Why hasn't the Marshal brought me to court-martial yet?"

"Soon." Li Yuebai was anxious and held Lei's hand: "Soon it will be. We have very little time. Once the Marshal starts this process, you will have nowhere to escape."

A small number of soldiers were killed or wounded, the fleet's information transmission system was destroyed, and a large amount of rescue costs were incurred. If they were held accountable, it was enough to send someone to prison.

Lei said nothing more and lit another cigar.

"I will never watch you being sent to prison by them." Li Yuebai said: "Lei, we must save ourselves."

Lei heard the confident tone of the other party and couldn't help but pause for a moment, casting a puzzled look at Li Yuebai.

It is not easy to save yourself in this situation, but Longyue said it so easily, as if he already had a plan.

"There is only one way." Li Yuebai lowered his voice to a level that was almost inaudible: "Kill that gentleman."

Kill the Marshal?

Before Lei could answer, the system started cheering.

"A good move!" The system praised: "As long as Marshal Augustin is eliminated, César will lose his most powerful supporter and become easier to deal with."

"It's difficult." Lei was not optimistic about this proposal: "He is very careful in protecting himself, his security measures are impeccable, and he is protected by his personal guards. Even the most elite assassin group under the Prime Minister may not be able to kill him."

"Then let's send the Prime Minister's most trusted assassin group to kill him." Li Yuebai's tone became more relaxed.

The three giants of the Star Ring Church State are fighting openly and secretly, and everyone needs to have a secret weapon. Needless to say, the Marshal has a powerful military force, the Pope has Fleet X, which is held by the High Priest, and the Prime Minister's secret weapon is the Assassin Group.

The Assassin's Gang is considered a legend in the country. Li Yuebai can find a lot of information by simply searching the system, which is enough to show how mysterious and powerful they are.

"The Assassins are only loyal to the Prime Minister. Will they assassinate the Marshal for me? Impossible." Lei's face darkened.

"The Marshal is the Prime Minister's enemy, why not kill him?" Li Yuebai said.

However, after repeatedly considering the current situation, Li Yuebai had to admit that Lei was right.

The Prime Minister and the Pope are too conservative.

They are old now, and their original sharpness has long since turned into stability. They seek stability in everything and will never take action until the very last minute.

The current situation is that the Marshal is at a disadvantage, while the Prime Minister and the Pope have the upper hand, and they are even more unwilling to choose the complicated means of assassination.

Assassinating a person, especially a heavyweight like the marshal, is not a simple matter. It involves a lot of post-event finishing work. If you are not careful, you can easily lose your century-old foundation.

"There will be a way." Li Yuebai pondered for a long time: "I will go to see the Pope and the Prime Minister and convince them."

"Host, when did you become a lobbyist?" The system was shocked: "You really are proficient in all kinds of skills."

"I said, no one can hurt my friends." Li Yuebai gritted his teeth and remembered the feeling of anger when he just traveled through time and knew the future plot.

After deciding on the general direction, the two of them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Longyue, you look different than before." Lei leaned back in his chair, blew out a few smoke rings, and smiled: "I used to think that maybe one day, I would die to protect you, but now..."

"Maybe it's because of César. His appearance has changed me a lot." Li Yuebai also smiled.

If it weren't for dealing with that little devil Cecil, I wouldn't have worked so hard.

"Cesare?" Lei's expression was still very unnatural: "Cesare did save me, but I still dare not let my guard down against him."

"You're right." Li Yuebai hurriedly told the incredible fact: "I'm sorry, Lei, I trusted Cecil too much before."

"Hmm?" Lei was confused by his 180-degree turn in his attitude: "Longyue, are you saying that now you don't trust Xizel?"

"Yes, you should also pay more attention to him." Li Yuebai said: "He has a deep relationship with the Marshal in secret, so be careful."

Lei nodded without asking any more questions.

"Oh, right." Li Yuebai suddenly said, "Lei, you said you could die for me, is that true?"

"Of course." Lei raised his eyebrows.

"Very good." Li Yuebai said happily: "There is something that requires you to die..."
