Warhammer: I live under the watchful eyes of the gods

Chapter 25 Who is the real mastermind behind the scenes?

Looking at the reinforced train connection, Karl let out a long sigh of relief.

The crisis has been completely resolved.

Of course, Carl also has a crisis he must face alone.

Feeling the fast fading force in his body, Karl ran to Petronilla's side.

(Just kidding, if you can cheat, who wants to carry it by yourself.)
(But then again, who were these people who attacked the train?)
In fact, Karl had already observed these attackers once outside the battle.

Although the other party served the food in a somewhat sloppy manner (except for Duke), the whole action seemed extremely professional.

The purpose of this group of people was not robbery at all, but more like a premeditated assassination?

In an instant, Carl felt a chill when he thought of his behavior in the bottom nest.

He had no idea how many people lived in a Bottom Hive block.

Even if those civilians have repeatedly promised that they will not expose Karl's affairs, judging from the actual situation, this guarantee does not seem to be well implemented.

Otherwise, why did Karl receive such a warm welcome from Chaos after getting on the train with his front foot.

There is a whole triple killer, as long as it is not Carl who comes, at this time, he has already been slapped into a meat sauce by the corrupted version of Duke, or he was smashed into a meat sauce on a runaway train.

From this point of view, Karl judged that the opponent was at least a large-scale corrupt organization with strong action.

Thinking of this, Carl turned to Franco and asked, "Who do you think sent these people?"

Franco didn't dare to be negligent, and directly stated his previous speculation.

"PDF (Planetary Defense Force), IG (Astra Militarum), Royal Guard, Knights of the Noble, it's all possible."

Hearing this, Carl continued to ask: "I know about PDF and IG, tell me about the Royal Guard and Noble Knights you mentioned."

So Franco talked about the special products of the Frankish Empire that were not considered special products.

The royal guard is composed of the elite of the local PDF, directly under the Frankish royal family.

The noble knights are private armies formed by the great nobles, and there is a big gap between different hives in this regard.

Of course, the biggest role of these knights is to cover the giant war machines of the imperial nobles.

Therefore, it is impossible to compare the equipment and scale of these knights with the Royal Guard and PDF.

As for the IG (Astral Army), although it belongs to the former Eye of Terror theater, but because the Frankish Starfield is not considered a first-line theater, it only has a small Cadian assault army stationed there.

After listening to Franco's explanation of the local military structure, Carl's brain began to work rapidly.

In the end, Karl locked the suspects on the Royal Guard and PDF.

PDF possible?
It might be possible, but if the huge PDFs were all corrupted by chaos, then Frank III would have already become a hell on earth.

It can only be said that some PDFs may have been corroded by chaos.

Royal Guard maybe?
This possibility is relatively high. According to the previous communication with the Emperor, Karl guessed that there might be a brood of space necrons under Frank III who have not yet woken up.

Therefore, if Chaos wants to invade directly, the best way is to control the entire Frankish royal family from top to bottom.

Then let these mortals take special equipment to destroy the necromancer tomb in another dimension first.

After the black stone matrix that suppresses the subspace is lifted, it is time for the Chaos Demons to have a good meal.

Of course, Karl cannot rule out the suspicion of other organizations.

But this attack did remind Karl that he needs a spokesperson.

If the upper echelon of the Frankish royal family is really corrupted, then Karl can only save himself by taking the route of "mortals with faith" encircling the royal family.

So if this is the case, where can I find this spokesperson?

Suddenly, out of the corner of Carl's eyes, Franco, who was bending over to pick up the "cigarette butts" on the ground, passed by.

(Yeah, isn't there a ready-made one here?)

In an instant, Karl's pattern opened up.

On the one hand, Karl himself can use this to organize an armed force of his own, and on the other hand, Franco can take advantage of the identity of the original judge to quickly raise the banner of the emperor.

But that brings me back to the original question—is Franco trustworthy?

At least for now, Karl still needs to test Franco again.

So, Karl stopped Franco who had just picked up the half of the cigarette left.

"Franco, what do you think of the imperial family?"

Franco couldn't solve the sudden and explosive problem directly.

The cigarette he had just picked up suddenly fell to the ground again.

Fortunately, Franco is also considered an old fritter who has been in the trial court for many years, so at least he can speak some official Chinese.

"The imperial royal family is long gone, and now is the time for us to replace it!"

"If necessary, I will be the first to raise the banner against the imperial family!"

Of course, the second half of the sentence is entirely Franco's polite remarks.

After all, Franco felt that Karl was a chaotic monster at the level of a great demon, so he couldn't ask me to do it like a mortal, could he?

Isn't it delicious to just find a few parasites?
It can also secretly replace members of the royal family, and it can run away at any time to create chaos.

No matter how bad your chaotic army comes, can't this little bug be crushed to death?
But Franco never imagined that this heavy burden would fall on his head inexplicably.

"Okay, then your next task is to rejoin the upper echelons of the Frankish Empire."

Franco "???!!!"

"Don't worry, this train incident was solved by you alone. I believe there are some survivors to prove that you are absolutely safe in a short period of time. Besides, I estimate that you will receive a considerable bonus."

Having said that, Carl took out a full 500 Skyhawk coins from his pocket.

Karl is quite generous to his future relatives.

After all, the 10000 Skyhawk coins were all blown by the emperor's gale, and Karl didn't feel bad at all when he spent them.

Seeing 500 Skyhawk coins (equivalent to 500W francs), Franco straightened his neck instantly.

Even in the wealthy period when Franco was a judge, 500 Skyhawk coins could be considered a considerable amount of income.

Of course, money is not that important in Franco's eyes at the moment.

But Franco knew that the 500 Skyhawk coins represented his rising status in Karl's eyes.

As long as I keep climbing up in the chaotic system, my tiny wish will one day be placed in front of the four gods.

(Stick to death the bold, starve to death the timid!)
So Franco gritted his teeth secretly, and silently took the 500 Skyhawk coins from Carl's hand trembling.

Seeing the lifelike double-headed Skyhawk with piercing eyes on the Skyhawk coin, Franco felt guilty for a moment.

It felt as if the Emperor was using his see-through eyes to scan Franco's body from beginning to end.

(Alas, if the Emperor had seen my petty wish, how could I have come here.)
Franco looked at the Skyhawk coin in his hand and was silent for a long time.
