Chapter 457: Pitfalls



The sponsor behind all the funding for the Dion Followers Organization is a ducal family from the Dion Empire, [Molisette].

All media outlets have reported on the relationship between the Duke of Morissette's family and Emperor Fadis of the Dion Empire, and that the third Prince Alexandre is the grandson of the head of the Duke of Morissette's family.

Everything the Dionist organization did was secretly directed not only by the Duke of Morissette's family but also by the third prince Alexandre.

The Dion Followers Organization carried out a series of terrorist attacks and plotted to incite people in the Earth Sphere and the Colonial Sphere to rebel, all of which were planned by the Duke of Morissette's family.

As for the Dion Followers Organization, they have attacked the Tianyi Group both in the early days and now. In the early days, they did it openly, and in the later days, they used poisoning, kidnapping, assassination and other means. All of these orders were issued by the third prince Alexandre.

As to why the Third Prince issued the order to attack Tianyi Group, various international media outlets described in vivid detail that it was because of his feud with Long Fei, the leader of Tianyi Group.

What happened was (see Chapters 382 to 386) that the third prince Alexandre offended Long Fei, and was severely punished by Long Fei, which greatly humiliated him.

The arrogant Third Prince was very unwilling to accept this humiliation and had always wanted to take revenge on Long Fei, even at the cost of killing Long Fei's relatives.

The media's descriptions made the leaders of various countries so excited that they almost wanted to open champagne to celebrate. If the evidence is conclusive, then Long Fei will definitely go to war with the Dion Empire.

The general public was waiting for Long Fei's reaction with an attitude of watching a show.

As for the person involved, Long Fei knew clearly why the media could report these truths. There was only one reason, that is, there was an insider in the Dion Kingdom who sent these things to these international media. Moreover, this insider must be a high-ranking person, and he was probably someone who was ambitious and wanted to fight for power and profit, and wanted to harm his competitors.

Long Fei guessed that it might be the eldest prince or the second prince who was causing trouble.

But no matter which prince is behind this, Long Fei must come out and express his position at this moment, and Long Fei knows more clearly that this battle is coming.

Long Fei’s account appeared on Tianyi Group’s official website, demanding that the Dion Empire explain clearly, otherwise war would begin.

Before Long Fei made the statement, Commander-in-Chief Li Jiaming immediately mobilized more troops to the Gas Empire, ready to fight at any time.

The people of the occupied colonies either left the colonies immediately or stored food at home.

The majority of the people have fled from the local colonial satellites. Once the Skywing Mercenaries and the Dion Imperial Army take massive action, the colonial satellites will not be able to withstand their turmoil.

One of the colonies has a Tianyi Mercenary Group with a regiment-level fleet, and is arranging for the local Tianyi Group employees and their families to evacuate the colony.

On the edge of the occupied colonial satellite area, many fleets of the Skywing Mercenary Group gathered one after another.

Emperor Fadis of the Dion Empire announced that the families of the Third Prince Alexandre and Duke Morissette would be punished. He also stated that the Dion Empire did not want to be an enemy of the Tianyi Mercenary Group and would compensate the injured members and their families of the Tianyi Group.

However, Long Fei did not accept Faddis's claim to punish the Third Prince and the Duke of Morissette's family.

"Emperor Fadis, you said you would punish the Third Prince and the Duke's family. Who would believe the extent of your punishment? If you really want to punish them, the best way is to directly cut off the heads of the Third Prince and the head of the Duke of Morissette's family in a live broadcast, and then offer their heads to me. Then I will believe that you sincerely want to apologize and compensate. I will only give you 48 hours to cut off their heads and give them to me as a sacrifice to my dead employees. This is the apology and compensation I want, otherwise I will go to war."

Long Fei's announcement of his demand for an apology and compensation caused a sensation throughout the world.

This put Faddis in a difficult position. He could still chop off the head of the Duke of Morissette, but how could he chop off the head of his son?

Inside the palace of the Dion Empire, in the emperor's office, Fadis was smashing things, and the ministers and princes who had served in the palace dared not even breathe a word.

The third prince, Alexandre, had a red slap mark on his left cheek, where he was just beaten by his father.

At this moment, Faddis was not only angry, but also regretted spoiling his son. This son was really a traitor to his father.

Once the Skywing Mercenaries join the war, with their military strength that is no less than theirs, and with the help of resources from the colonial sphere and the Earth sphere, the Dion Imperial Army will basically not be able to afford it.

Even if the Dion Imperial Army's opponents at the beginning are the colonial sphere and the Earth sphere, with a military force that is much more advanced than theirs, it can suppress these forces. As long as they can occupy some colonial satellites and engage in some long-term wars, the Dion Imperial Army will surely win.

Now, once the Tianyi Mercenary Group joins the battle, the Dion Imperial Army will lose all its battlefield advantages.

It is even possible that they will have to retreat back to their homeland.

Fadis now really wanted to send Alexandre, this traitorous son of his, back to the womb.

"Duke Mozart, what do you think I should do with you? Should I chop off your head and send it to Long Fei of Tianyi Group?"

"Your Majesty, no." Countless ministers at the scene immediately pleaded.

"Why not? You can secretly set up a Dion Followers Organization. I once said that you should not provoke the Tianyi Group, especially that Long Fei. You ignored my words and not only provoked the Tianyi Group, but also made their wives and children the primary targets of killing. Not only are you holding me back, but you have also created an unnecessary and terrible enemy for the Dion Empire!" Faddis roared the last sentence.

All those kneeling on the scene lowered their heads even lower.

"Mozart, Mozart, are you smart and then stupid? Are you allowing your family members to do a bunch of stupid things?"

At this moment, Mozart could only kowtow to the Emperor and beg for mercy. No one expected that the powerful Duke Mozart would kowtow and beg for mercy in such a miserable state.

Everyone in the court knew that Duke Mozart had made an indispensable contribution to the emperor's coup to overthrow the previous emperor. It can be said that it was with the full support of the Morissette family that Faddis had the opportunity to obtain the throne.

It can be said that half of the Dion Empire can belong to the Morissette family.

There were several female members in the Morissette family, including Mozart's daughters, who were all concubines of the emperor. Only his most beloved youngest daughter gave birth to a prince, the youngest third prince, Aleixandre.

Faddis was just over a hundred years old and had given birth to this youngest son, who was loved by everyone. The Morissette family also took advantage of the situation and fully supported the third prince. As long as the third prince could barely be qualified to be the emperor, the two older brothers would basically have no chance of the throne.

At this moment, in addition to begging for mercy from the emperor, Mozart's mind was also working rapidly. Who on earth had leaked the entire secret and the entire incident? This put the Morissette family in a dangerous situation.

Although Fadis seemed very angry and worried about the Tianyi Mercenary Group, he also gave him a chance at this moment. He had always wanted to reduce the power of the Morissette family, but he had never had the chance.

Now that the opportunity has come, some ministers in the court have pleaded with His Majesty the Emperor, hoping that the Emperor will show leniency in consideration of the countless contributions made by the Morissette family.

If Faddis could get rid of Mozart immediately, he would be happy to do so, but unfortunately this would cause a lot of backlash, which would give his followers an opportunity to rebel.

"You can escape death penalty, but you can't escape punishment for living."

Faddis not only ordered Mozart to be under house arrest for a month and not to meet with any outsiders, but also banned all communications and the Internet.

Then, Faddis issued a series of personnel changes, and everyone knew that the Emperor was taking the opportunity to reduce the power of the Morissette family.

Putting Mozart under house arrest for a month was enough to greatly reduce the power of the Morissette family.

Faddis placed some non-Molisette ministers or nobles in positions in the former Molisete family.

Fadis then balanced the power of these ministers.

"Alexandre, you must get back to your palace right now. Don't even think about leaving the palace for the next three months. Someone will take care of your daily life. Get back right now."

At this moment, Alexandre could only leave in shame.
