Ocean Lords: Start Harvesting Double from Dice Rolls

Chapter 574: Chapter 297: Lanyun Maze, One-Week Agreement

“How can you prove Hua Yu was swapped?”

Fang Yu murmured, feeling a bit strange inside.

Originally, he thought the Sovereign would make some issue of Meng Biao’s ability to mobilize the Lanyun Army, but surprisingly, the Sovereign Lanyun passed over this matter in a single sentence, leaving Fang Yu slightly caught off guard.

At this moment, he found it difficult to understand the Sovereign, unclear about what the Sovereign Lanyun really wanted.

Perhaps… was his guess wrong?

But it shouldn’t be…

Fang Yu shook his head. Right now, all eyes were on him, waiting for him to present the “truth and evidence.”

Under everyone’s gaze, Fang Yu glanced at the Sovereign ahead, then slowly spoke: “I… have no evidence!”

“What?”

Upon hearing Fang Yu’s words, the expressions of the people in the hall varied.

The Sovereign’s face remained calm, revealing nothing of his thoughts.

On the left, the officials from the southern military faction showed smirks, especially the red-faced officer who laughed aloud.

On the right were the northern military faction officials. After hearing Fang Yu’s words, some had calm expressions, some shook their heads slightly, some looked hostile, while others showed regret.

“Without evidence, this means you are talking nonsense, unjustly accusing, and the Sin Domain matter is indeed connected to the Duorong Federation; you and Kong Huaao are not innocent!”

At this time, the red-faced officer Chang Yunxiang spoke again, sneering repeatedly, unable to hold back, speaking loudly.

Behind Chang Yunxiang, the emaciated middle-aged man did not stop Chang Yunxiang from continuing his challenge, merely lowering his eyebrows as if he hadn’t heard Chang Yunxiang’s words.

“The Duorong Federation has wicked ambitions, posing a danger. Now, amidst chaos, hidden threats exist near our borders, with other Sea Countries eyeing us, causing harm to our country.”

“Sovereign, our Lanyun Sea Country cannot sit idly by, must take up arms to defend the safety of our territory against insults and invasions from other Sea Countries.”

“Moreover, the public anger has arisen. The citizens feel hatred toward the Duorong Federation. If not guided, it may affect the Sovereign’s glory, weakening the foundation of our Lanyun Sea Country!”

“I propose that instead of passive defense, enduring insults, we should take the initiative to attack the Duorong Federation’s South Island Continent!”

“As for Fang Yu and Kong Huaao, it would be better to execute them publicly to quell public anger!”

The red-faced officer Chang Yunxiang spoke loudly. At this moment, his words were confident, seemingly authorized by the faction behind him, making him the spokesperson for his side.

As Chang Yunxiang finished speaking, in Fang Yu’s vision, he vaguely saw the light wheel threads released from the southern military faction officials and politicians, surprisingly starting to exert force.

The target of their exertion was the Sovereign.

The southern military faction was using their influence, gradually binding and controlling the light wheel behind the Sovereign Lanyun, turning its support into restraint, forcing the Sovereign to follow the southern military faction’s will.

Ancient emperors could not act on their whims, needing to balance and even be constrained by court ministers, similar to the current hall scenario.

At this moment, the entire southern military faction collectively launched an assault, manipulating the light wheel, causing a trace of displeasure to flicker in the Sovereign’s gaze.

But the Sovereign Lanyun quickly hid this displeasure, glancing at the hall’s right side, the “northern military faction,” seemingly seeking their opinion.

However, the northern military faction officials now slightly lowered their heads, not daring to meet the Sovereign Lanyun’s gaze.

Indeed, public anger existed.

Currently, the public is filled with hatred for the Duorong Federation, regarded as the culprit behind the Sin Domain mage attacks, with numerous calls for war.

Facing such a trend, even if the northern military faction advocates peaceful development, under pressure from public opinion, they dare not express their stance at this moment, letting the southern military faction dominate the discourse in Parliament.

Confronted with such a situation, a trace of coldness flickered in the Sovereign’s eyes.

Yet he said nothing, merely casting his gaze ahead at Fang Yu.

“Since there’s no evidence, there’s nothing more to say.”

“Take Fang Yu away.”

The Sovereign’s flat voice echoed.

But just then, Fang Yu’s voice suddenly rang out: “Wait a moment! Lord of the Country!”

“I may not have evidence now, but that doesn’t mean I won’t have it in the future!”

“Hm?”

The Sovereign’s gaze settled on Fang Yu, awaiting his follow-up.

Seeing this, Fang Yu spoke loudly and confidently: “Sovereign, give me a week. Within a week, I can explain to the Sovereign the matter of Hua Yu’s swap, Duorong’s framing, and the misunderstanding with Lanyun Sea Country.”

“I will present the evidence to the Sovereign and everyone!”

“Oh?”

Hearing Fang Yu’s words, for the first time, a slight emotional change appeared on the face of the Sovereign Lanyun.

He looked at Fang Yu with interest, speaking softly: “What if you fail to produce evidence within a week?”

“The Sovereign’s prowess is boundless, with my superior, Colonel Kong Huaao, surely I dare not play tricks before the Sovereign.”

“If I fail, the Sovereign could easily kill me from afar, no need for me to boast before the Sovereign!”

Fang Yu spoke, his expression calm.
