Chapter 3494 A Battle of Words
"So, Barbara orchestrated this? How is that possible?"
Seth was furious upon hearing this. While carrying out Sithon's orders, he asked, "How did Barbara manage to do that? Wasn't Poseidon monitoring her the whole time?"
Upon hearing this, Sisorn contacted Poseidon, who replied, "Barbara has remained at her base without moving. However, she seemed to be experiencing some emotional fluctuations earlier, but since she didn't leave the base, I didn't report it."
"Her emotional distress is definitely because she discovered our actions. As for how she found out, we don't know yet. We'll find out by asking her later."
Sisorn said, "The most important thing now is to mobilize a large army to encircle and wipe them out completely. Iron Tree, are your weapons ready?"
"Don't worry, it's done. As long as you distract Quetzalcoatl and Barbara, I guarantee she's dead."
The steel giant confidently assured, "I'm an honest man, I never brag. If I say she's dead, she's definitely dead."
Upon hearing this, everyone scoffed. "Honest? Honest my ass! All nine of these Compound V trees combined aren't a single honest person."
Seth thought of something and hurriedly asked, "Sysorn, are you afraid that Barbara will tell the truth? If so, the soldiers might rebel."
"So what if she tells the truth? Does she have any evidence? Even if she does have evidence, we can still say that she forged it."
Xisorn snorted coldly: "You are the clan leader, and most of the elders are on our side. We can call white black, so why are we afraid of her telling the truth?"
In this world, there aren't that many so-called truths. Might makes right!
"Sythonn, the way you're talking doesn't sound like a villain at all."
Seth complained, but he also knew that Xisorn was right. Regardless of whether Barbara had any evidence or not, they could still call a deer a horse. With the clan leader and the elders, it was obvious who the soldiers would believe.
Just then, Poseidon shouted, "She's moved! Barbara has moved! She's leaving the base with her people; she must be going to meet up with the elders."
"Hmph, too late. Today, they will all die. I said, Poseidon, Iron Tree, come and assemble quickly, prepare for battle."
"Sisson said arrogantly," Seth wanted to roll his eyes. It should have been a sure thing, but Sisson's words meant that something unexpected might happen.
"That guy, Xisone, really doesn't learn his lesson. He knows he's a jinx, but he still keeps saying things like that."
Seth cursed inwardly, thank goodness he was an undercover agent, otherwise he would definitely be driven mad by this guy.
A short while later, Barbara and the escaped elders met in a square, but before they could escape back to the base, a large number of soldiers surrounded them. Then, Seth arrived with a group of elders.
Seth didn't waste any words and went straight to the point: "Barbara, we already know about your treason."
"rebellion?"
The soldiers and the surrounding orcs gasped in shock. Elder Barbara had actually rebelled?
"Seth, don't make false accusations. It was clearly you who used tricks to turn the Grand Elder and the others into puppets."
Barbara laughed angrily and shouted, "You've joined forces with outsiders to enslave the beastmen; you're the real traitor!"
The soldiers were surprised and doubtful upon hearing this, but most of them did not believe it. After all, that was the chieftain, and the beastmen originally belonged to him.
"Absurd! I am the chieftain of the orc race, and how could I possibly turn the Grand Elder and the others into puppets?"
Seth looked at him with disdain and shouted at the Grand Elder, "Grand Elder, are you a puppet?"
The Grand Elder scoffed, "Do you think I'm a puppet? Do you all think I'm a puppet?"
"of course not."
The soldiers shouted in unison, "The Grand Elder is exactly the same as before! How can a puppet be so agile?" They all pointed their weapons at Barbara. Although they didn't want to believe it, it was clear that Barbara was the traitor.
No matter what, Sithon is a great demon god. Controlling a puppet wouldn't necessarily leave any flaws. In fact, the Grand Elder's self-awareness didn't disappear; he simply became a complete believer in the great demon god. In short, he was a fanatical follower.
"Do you think I have no evidence? If I didn't have evidence, why would those elders have fled the Black Palace so quickly?"
Barbara sneered. She took out a projector, turned it on, and a light screen appeared. On the screen, Seth and Sithon were taking control of a certain senator.
The soldiers were stunned by what they saw, and their resolve wavered once again.
"No wonder Barbara knew about our plan. This woman had planted a camera in a senator's office to monitor him beforehand. She discovered it when we were taking control of him."
Xisorn said unhappily, "If it's magical surveillance or supernatural surveillance, I can easily detect it, but high-tech surveillance, well, ordinary ones are fine, but the more advanced ones, I really can't detect them."
As the saying goes, everyone has their own expertise. Although Sithon had studied a lot of technology because of Andrew, he only had a superficial understanding of it. Moreover, he had never thought about this matter before, so he did not conduct any corresponding investigations.
“Sisson, this isn’t the first or second time you’ve messed up. I’m used to it.”
Seth rolled his eyes, glanced at the light screen, exhaled, and said, "Fortunately, Barbara didn't install surveillance equipment in all the elders' offices, so she only discovered the clues after we had most of the elders under control."
By this point, even if she discovered it, it would be too late. The die was cast; there was nothing she could do. She was doomed.
"That's right, the situation is already decided."
Sithon nodded, understanding how Barbara had discovered them. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He wasn't afraid of anything except that the King of Superpowers might discover this little world beforehand, which would be terrible.
What Sithon didn't know was that the projector was just an excuse Andrew made for Barbara to discover this. Moreover, he deliberately waited until Sithon and the others had control over most of the elders before making his move. Everything was within Andrew's calculations.
"This is a fake."
Faced with everyone's doubts, Seth calmly said, "Using superpowers to fabricate the so-called truth and then filming it, Barbara, you don't really think that such a method can fool everyone, do you?"
"Forged?"
The soldiers were stunned, and Barbara flew into a rage: "Seth, do you think you can fool everyone and make them fall for your tricks by twisting the truth like this?"
The other elders who weren't controlled also cursed loudly. They knew very well whether it was a fake or not; if it weren't for Barbara, they would have become puppets by now.
