"Your Majesty, do not worry. With Marshal Hodges in command, the entire operation is without any issue." Today is a critical time to deal with Peter Brown, several ministers of the New Emperor have gathered here, and everyone is a bit nervous. You must know that Peter Brown is not an ordinary person; if there is a mishap, no one knows which direction things might develop.

Although the New Emperor appeared calm, sitting there, everyone could clearly see that his expression was serious.

A minister said, "Your Majesty, this is a necessary path. If Peter Brown continues to grow unchecked, given his influence, the nation will be in danger!"

"Indeed, he must not be allowed to live. For the empire, he must die!"

"Will Peter Brown flee?" the New Emperor asked.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Our men are monitoring everywhere and have confirmed he has not left."

The New Emperor was truly restless. Peter Brown's influence was so great that he had dreamt of Peter Brown successfully usurping the throne.

"This time, with most of the Imperial Guard dispatched, be assured, Your Majesty, Peter Brown cannot escape!"

With a slight nod, the New Emperor's gaze was cast towards the Azure Sky outside.

After a while, finally, the sound of brisk footsteps was heard outside.

Dexter is coming!

Everyone knew the news had arrived; it should be the time to take action. This move would immediately take down the entire Windsor Family, with no chance for resistance.

The plan was to capture Peter Brown without interrogation, directly kill him. Only with Peter Brown's death would his subordinates not cause chaos.

"Report!"

A eunuch, sweating profusely, rushed in.

The New Emperor did not care about his abrupt entry, and fixated his gaze on him, asking, "Speak! What is the situation?"

The ministers' gazes were also directed at the eunuch.

"Report, General Carter went to capture Windsor Family members, but Assistant General Harris betrayed them, leading his men to kill General Carter. The dispatched Army protected Mattie Brown and others from the Windsor Family in leaving the Capital City under Assistant General Harris's leadership."

What?

This!

The ministers were dumbfounded; they never expected something like this to happen.

"Impossible. Even if Rea Harris betrayed, so many generals were formerly from the Imperial Guard; they shouldn't betray!"

Hearing the minister's words, the New Emperor asked, "What exactly is the situation?"

"The specifics are unknown. Our sent monitors saw all the generals betray, and those soldiers followed their lead."

The New Emperor sat down suddenly, feeling dazed. This action could have been a Thunderous Strike, capable of taking down the entire Windsor Family, yet such a thing happened.

"What is happening with Peter Brown?" Jocelyn Nelson anxiously asked.

"The situation there is still unknown."

As everyone was worried, another eunuch came running in, saying, "Report, those guarding Nour Walter all betrayed, escorting Nour Walter out of Kingston."

More betrayals?

The New Emperor was truly shocked; the entire operation was conducted secretly and arranged so well; what exactly happened?

The ministers were equally stunned, having lost control of the situation.

In everyone's eyes, Peter Brown should have been killed under this thunderous strike, and with his death, Peter Brown's Army would no longer have changes, tightly controlled by the New Emperor, thus stabilizing the empire.

"What exactly happened?" the New Emperor was furious, having done so much, yet the situation showed signs of slipping from his control.

After roaring, he forced himself to calm down and looked at the minister of war, saying, "Peter Brown must not have any mistakes!"

The minister of war responded, "You can rest assured, Your Majesty, Marshal Hodges personally commands, most of the Imperial Guard deployed, which is tens of thousands strong. With such an Army going forth, no matter how capable Peter Brown is, he cannot escape."

As he finished speaking, a sound came from outside, and then a eunuch rushed in.

"Report, when Marshal Hodges led troops to capture Peter Brown, his subordinates all betrayed him, Marshal Hodges was killed, and Peter Brown left the Capital City with his Army."

No one spoke this time; everyone fell silent.

"Report, Peter Brown left a letter for Your Majesty when he departed."

The New Emperor took the letter and, after reading it for a while, nearly dropped it from his hand.

Several ministers picked it up quickly and, after examining it for a while, everyone's faces changed.

In the letter, Peter Brown did not say much, only mentioning he had not wronged the Royal Family, but the Royal Family wronged him. Although he could lead his Army to destroy the empire, he would not. He would lead his troops to the Northern Region, intending to reorganize the Northern Army. If the empire wants to be his enemy, he will annihilate it.

Peter Brown's letter was shocking.

"Report!"

Another eunuch came rushing in.

"What now?"

"Report, there are flyers spreading throughout the city now, saying Your Majesty falsely accused a meritorious marshal, forcing Marshal Peter Brown to betray Kingston."

What?

Everyone was shocked again; no one expected Peter Brown to prepare for such a thing, seizing public opinion and informing citizens of the entire situation.

"Peter Brown!"

The New Emperor was extremely angry; he did not expect all his calculations to fail. With Peter Brown's departure, especially with an Army in hand, the empire had lost the power to suppress him.

Stunned!

Everyone was stunned; after calculating for so long, they never expected Peter Brown to wield such strong influence. If a few people surrendered, they could understand, but now, everyone surrendered. What immense influence!

Unfortunately, no matter the wisdom they possess, they are helpless facing this situation.

"No, with his capability, he could easily invade the Imperial Palace. I don't believe he truly speaks of righteousness like in the letter!" A minister could not help but say.

Thinking seriously, everyone found such a situation strange, unable to comprehend Peter Brown's thoughts.

However, everyone was glad Peter Brown did not destroy the empire. Since that is the case, there's no need to dwell on it further.

"Your Majesty, since Peter Brown cannot be suppressed, we have to consider other plans."

"Indeed, how to face Peter Brown is the matter we should discuss."

Everyone now knows it's time to change their strategy.
