Chapter 855: Chapter 460: Shadows of the Past_3

It can be explained in just a few words? That’s just perfect! The Emperor was satisfied and immediately said, "My beloved minister, please speak."

Owen Bertram laid out the evidence of the Johnson Clan’s crimes one by one, which the Horizon Bureau had already prepared. In addition to these, Master Bertram had some follow-up measures, but they might be too late for today.

Master Bertram stared at Johnson Thomas, "Elder Lord, such a big scandal in your family, and to say you had no knowledge of it would seem a bit hypocritical, wouldn’t it? As for whether these crimes involve the Elder Lord, our Horizon Bureau will definitely investigate thoroughly!

So, to avoid suspicion, the Elder Lord should not meddle in this case!"

Although Johnson Thomas had brought a group of Imperial Court cronies to argue with Adonis Dunn before, it wasn’t until Master Bertram arrived that the ministers realized that the Johnson Clan had already been confiscated!

In the entire Imperial Court, the wind quietly changed its direction: the Johnson Clan was finished, and the Elder Lord became a rootless duckweed! How long could he hold on? Not to mention those neutral ministers, even Johnson Thomas’s followers began to have other thoughts, whether to betray the Boss and change allegiance?

After Master Bertram finished speaking, the Emperor could no longer bear it, stood up and shouted, "This is a major case, and I command the Horizon Bureau to thoroughly investigate it. As soon as the final result is available, you must report it to me immediately! Dismiss the court!"

With a wave of his hand, the flying carriage palaces activated the protective array, cutting off the connection between this place and the capital, and the illusions of Johnson Thomas and others disappeared. The Emperor immediately patted the Dragon Throne and said, "Quick, quick, quick, let’s go, let’s go!"

Because he was in a hurry, his beloved minister Owen hadn’t had time to leave the Flying Carriage Palaces and was taken to the Great Lake with the Emperor, boredly accompanying him in fishing for a day...

In the meantime, Master Bertram tried several times to report the case in detail to His Majesty, but the Emperor raised his finger and said, "Shush—don’t scare away my fish!"

However, the things Master Bertram was supposed to do were still being carried out in secret. The Wood Dynasty was spreading rumors that His Majesty had secretly given Master Bertram a secret decree, which Master Bertram relayed to Master Lane, and that’s why the entire Wood Dynasty’s largest parasitic family, the Johnson Clan, was confiscated!

In the process, many legendary stories were fabricated to increase the spread of the case among the common people - naturally, it was the work of the storytellers under Master Bertram.

Several days later, the Emperor discovered that while he was playing in the Summit Command Office, his "brilliant and martial" image had become even more ingrained in the hearts of the people!

However, in various places in the Wood Dynasty, some "knowledgeable people" were quite puzzled. The Emperor seemed to be two different people before and after; previously he was incompetent and dissipated, and later he became wise and open-hearted. They even suspected that His Majesty had been possessed!

When the Emperor got tired of fishing, Master Bertram secretly instructed the fifth prince to report to the Emperor, "Father, the Nanni Nation has been repeatedly violating our borders recently. Since this vassal state has lost its ministerial status, we should teach them a lesson!"

"But at present, the military preparedness of the Imperial Court is slack and not up for a fight. How about Father personally leading the training of a new army for combat?"

"Rest assured, Father, just leave it to me. All you have to do is recognize the General’s authority. I will not disappoint you."

The Emperor’s eyes lit up, recalling his previous frustration that his "martial prowess comparable to the Great Ancestor" needed some military achievements to support it. He nodded approvingly at his son, "Alright, you can handle this matter."

Master Bertram had already prepared for this, and the army he assembled was recruited from the areas under the jurisdiction of the Summit Metropolitan Office and the East Prison Town Comfort Office. They were the commoners of cultivator families, side-disciples of various sects, and so on.

They were originally intended for the Flying Bear Army, and these people, who couldn’t get much support from their families or sects, had a strong desire to fight on the battlefield for a better future.

With the soldiers of high quality, the fifth prince gathered these 30,000 people and asked the Emperor to inspect them, and then this army became the "Imperial Forest New Army" personally trained by His Majesty.

Three months later, the army went to the southeast border to participate in the war with the Nanni Nation.

With Owen Bertram and William’s arrangements, the army naturally had a series of victories and impressive war achievements! Then the storytellers under Master Bertram took action again, propagating the story of the His Majesty personally training the new army and expanding the territory in the Southern Border.

At this time, the case of the Johnson Clan finally settled down, and Johnson Thomas retired to his hometown. The Inner Cabinet finally became the world of Adonis Dunn alone.

And that was the ridiculous part: with the Emperor no longer meddling and messing things up, the Wood Dynasty actually showed some signs of revival and prosperity!

...

After absorbing those Tier-6 defense magical instruments, Second Brother vomited out a magical instrument shaped like a big-headed strange fish to Big Brother. The treasure was called the "Whale Talisman", a Tier-6 magical instrument. It was said that the hanging whale was a mountain-like giant fish in the vast ocean, but it was very friendly to humans. In the coastal fishing villages, there were often stories of ships in distress being rescued by hanging whales.

And its rescue method was quite peculiar: it would project a huge bubble from its gaping mouth, wrapping the entire ship inside the bubble to float on the water. No matter if it was a capsized or sinking ship, a tsunami, or any other disaster, as long as it was wrapped in this bubble, it was safe and sound.

Whale Talisman was a defensive magical instrument, with a very "active" defense method, which could conjure a huge bubble to wrap up the opponent’s attack directly!

When in use, it could spit out up to three bubbles. Then it would take at least three days to recharge its power, during which it could not be used.

Big Brother was very satisfied with the reimbursement this time and praised Second Brother twice before sending him on another trip to the Ghost Zone.
