Having failed too much and not tasting power for too long, John's plan was too radical.
He felt that after the ancestor of the Li family was seriously injured and two important figures of the Li family, Li Anbang and Li Chenghai, died one after another, no one would care about his actions.
The formation of the new army had the approval of the Li family ancestor, but his actions were completely seen by Misio.
As John's adjutant, he is also from Brilliant City.
John is not killing Misio, nor is he staying.
So his method is to win over the other party.
Of course, he can't tell Misio his true purpose.
And he doesn't need to make Misio one of his own.
It only takes a month, not even more than a month, to temporarily stabilize Misio.
And when he knew that the Legion of Holy Light was marching again, he knew that his opportunity was coming soon.
In order to prevent Lorne from successfully joining forces with the heretics to eliminate the church, John planned to launch a mutiny at the critical moment.
While forcing the Li family's northward army to return, they watched Lorne and the church fight to the death.
Then he can digest the power of the Li family and kill Luo En and the church in one fell swoop.
Of course, I have seen fake Keira defeat the ancestor of the Li family.
If Lorne was useless and was also crushed by that woman, John would take a step back and surrender to the cathedral.
By then, he was already a hero of the empire.
From what he knew about Kayla, John was sure that Kayla wouldn't do anything to him.
Then whether to return to the north and become the Grand Duke of the North or stay in Yuanwang City and become the Duke of the Sea is all up to John himself.
He was so excited that he wanted to look up to the sky and scream, but John knew that victory had not come yet.
Only by killing the ancestors of the Li family and occupying Yuanwang City could he be invincible.
In order to ensure this, he had to get rid of the high-ranking disciples of the Li family in Yuanwang City before raising his troops.
Fortunately, through his service to the ancestor of the Li family, John was already familiar with the senior officials of the Li family in the city.
Using the excuse that the new army was about to be completed, he asked Misio to invite these people one by one.
After coming to the empire for such a long time, these Li family members have become accustomed to banquets.
There was no reason for them not to come to the banquet hosted by John.
What's more, for such a big thing as the new army is about to become an army and go to the battlefield, they must also be there to ask John something.
After losing two full-strength Class A divisions and sending two more Class A divisions to the north to perform secret missions, the Li family's current military strength is already stretched thin.
In addition to the divisions left behind in Brilliant City, they only have one Class A division available now.
Because they were forced hard by the Holy Light Army some time ago, the Class A divisions that were not originally responsible for defense have also been placed at the front line.
But this just gave John an opportunity.
In the entire Yuanwang City, his military strength can be said to be the most abundant.
This is another reason why all the senior leaders of the Li family gave him face.
However, after Misio left, John found the knight who had followed him from the north.
Misio, who has already left, will definitely not know what was said between them.
The task he received from John was just to inform the important figures of the Li family in Yuanwang City.
Of course, most of these people were related to the army.
As a member of the military, it is very normal for John to entertain his colleagues.
It's just that he is not the only one who has special arrangements today.
The mobilization of soldiers in Yuanwang City is far more complicated than John imagined.
Because besides him, there is an army secretly penetrating the city.
And all this, Baron Carter is still in the dark.
After all, this is the southern part of the empire.
When he was in the north, he could be said to be well-informed.
But here, in just a few years, John's strength and preparation are far less than those in the north.
At first, he lost to Lorne on his own territory.

Now facing Lorne's seniors and being in someone else's city, it was naturally difficult for Baron Carter to get what he wanted.
Even if he puts down his dignity and cooperates with Luo En, there is no way he can cause trouble in front of the ancestor of the Li family who has seen through him long ago.
While waiting for the guests to arrive, John counted seconds to count how much time he had left to become the new owner of Yuanwang City.
Once everyone arrives and the important hostages of the Li family are captured, he can occupy the entire city without losing any blood.
If you concentrate your forces, there is no way you can't deal with a seriously injured wizard.
But as the second hand on the pocket watch ticked, John finally discovered something strange.
It's almost eight o'clock.
Even if the banquet time is set at nine o'clock, it's impossible that no one has arrived by now.
That might be wrong.
I looked at the banquet hall downstairs and saw that quite a few people had gathered in twos and threes.
But the problem is that John is very familiar with these people.
They were all his own people, or nobles who had made it clear that they wanted to support him.
In other words, everyone present was from his faction, but no one from Brilliant City arrived.
The abnormal situation made John's heart begin to accelerate with the rhythm of the second hand.
He called for his attendant and asked him: "Where is Adjutant Misio?
Why didn't I see him?"
Logically speaking, Misio should stay at the scene and be on standby after regaining his life.
As one of the adjutants of the New Army and the monitor assigned to him by Brilliant City, Misio has this responsibility and obligation.
But at some point, the adjutant who should have been at the door has long since disappeared.
Coupled with the abnormality of the banquet, John, who is good at this, immediately knew that he had leaked the news.
And from the disappearance of Misio, he believed that this adjutant must be one of the people who reported him.
He didn't understand why the other party knew his purpose even though he didn't say anything to Misio.
Time has not allowed John to figure out what the problem is.
Since the news has been leaked, he has no chance of winning if he just launches an army without stopping.
It is a fact that Yuanwang City’s current army, his new army, is the most powerful force.
It was also a fact that the ancestor of the Li family was seriously injured.
With these two points, John did not need to worry.
"I will definitely succeed" Talking to himself to cheer himself up, the situation did not allow John to hesitate.
He didn't believe that the Li family would let him go after the news leaked out.
So today, no matter what, he had to gather the army.
Others definitely couldn't believe it, and John was planning to go to the military camp in person.
Now only the army can make him feel safe.
Instructing the knights who have been following him from the north, John gave his final instructions
