Chapter 478: Chapter 250: The Schemes of the Yongming Star People! (two in one) _2
Cy looked at Erice, feeling rather helpless in her heart. If anyone were to continue inciting this Grand Marshal, she feared even she wouldn’t be able to stop her.
If Erice were to take action, no matter how many rebels came, they wouldn’t be able to hold her off.
“What exactly is the plan? Your Highness only instructed me to stay in the Imperial City but never spoke of the plan you have in mind…”
“The timing is not yet right. It is not the moment to speak of it. For now, you should go back. But remember my words: do not leave the Imperial City casually. I need to be able to find you at any time.”
“Yes, Your Majesty can rest assured. Whenever you need me, Erice can appear at your location immediately.”
While Erice possessed superior strength, her loyalty to the Emperor was indeed unparalleled.
Seeing this, Cy felt somewhat reassured.
After Erice left, Cy immediately called her maid over.
“Dispatch someone to investigate where this assassin came from. We must find the one behind it.”
“Yes!”
As the maid left, Cy’s demeanor gradually shifted from its previous softness to firm resolution.
Could it be the Queen Mother and the Prime Minister? Did they feign an assassination to provoke the Grand Marshal into action?
Whenever she thought of these two, Cy’s brow involuntarily furrowed.
Their existence posed a huge threat to her.
Not only had they seized her power, but they also held a life-threatening secret of hers.
These two must die!
A cold glint flashed in Cy’s eyes. Her once soft disposition was replaced by an extraordinary aura of dominance and murderous intent.
Inside the Imperial City, a hundred men from the Yongming Star System gathered, quite satisfied with their plan.
The assassin was one of their puppets.
They aimed to provoke the Grand Marshal, coaxing her to strike at the Rebel Army.
This way, they would essentially gain a powerful ally.
“Indeed, this Grand Marshal is not easily tricked. She has already started investigating.”
“Isn’t this exactly what we want? We’re not afraid of them investigating; we’re afraid if they *don’t*. If they don’t probe our arrangements, wouldn’t all our efforts be wasted? This move will surely cement their belief!”
“The captain is truly insightful. Dispatching an assassin to claim affiliation with the Rebel Army wasn’t enough; the plot also required a Rebel Army den. By sacrificing dozens of lives to the Imperial Army this time, I don’t believe they can still refuse to believe us.”
Randy, the captain of the Yongming Star System’s Demonization Squad, smiled at his teammates. “Since we’ve entered the instance dungeon, we must fully utilize all available resources within it. These people already hate the Empire. It’ll be easy to fool them into thinking we’re an official part of the Rebel Army and get them to join us.”
“Once the Imperial Army investigates, it will be irrefutable proof that those people are rebels.”
As the group was relishing their satisfaction, a servant hurried over.
“Lord Randy, the Prime Minister requests your presence. Please go to the Prime Minister’s Mansion immediately.”
The Prime Minister wishes to see me? Randy thought for a moment, then realization dawned. “Understood. Go back and tell him I’ll be there shortly.”
“Yes!”
As the servant left, Randy turned to his teammates. “It seems the first phase of the Rebel Army’s mission has been triggered. As a Ruthless Organization under the direct command of the Queen Mother and the Prime Minister, it’s apparently time for us to be deployed.”
“Should we really go? We haven’t even baited the Grand Marshal yet. Shouldn’t we act when we have the best chance of success?”
“Don’t worry. I’ll go deal with that Prime Minister first. Given the Grand Marshal’s abilities, it won’t take her long to find the people we’ve set up. If we successfully implicate her, then following the Prime Minister’s orders to move out won’t be an issue.”
“Then we’ll await your news, Captain.”
“Alright, I’ll be back soon. This Prime Minister is just a weakling. Even if we disobey his commands, he can’t do anything to us for a while. Even if he forces us to act, we can stall for time. There’s no need to hurry.”
With Randy gone, the remaining members of the Yongming Star System continued discussing various coordination strategies.
There were hundreds of them, each with different skills. Having all undergone Demonization, their Demonization Skills were drastically different from their original abilities.
They themselves needed time to familiarize themselves with these new powers, let alone coordinate effectively with their teammates.
Their stay in the Imperial City over the past two days wasn’t just for scheming to lure Erice into their trap. More importantly, they were honing their teamwork.
Their goal was to perfect their coordination to unleash the team’s maximum combat power!
One aspect was their Demonization Skills, and another was the existence of the cursed Tools.
These were all powerful assets they had never encountered before.
Now that they suddenly possessed all these, applying them effectively wasn’t easy. They needed considerable time to adapt.
Chen Mo and his group were still quite far away, and it would take them a significant amount of time to reach the city. This was actually a great advantage for the Yongming Star System members.
After all, in their view, Chen Mo’s strength was inherent. He could perfectly utilize it the moment he entered the instance dungeon, unlike them.
Therefore, the longer the delay, the more advantageous it would be for them. Demonization lasted until the end of the instance dungeon, giving them more time to perfect their teamwork and coordination.

Inside the Prime Minister’s Mansion, Randy met Larseis, currently the most notorious Prime Minister in the Empire.
