The Guide to the End of the World: Four Sentinels Compete for Favor

"Secret investigation?" Ai Wanxin repeated slowly.

"Yes, a secret investigation." Jon gritted his teeth and spoke word by word, "When they were forcing the commander-in-chief to personally lead the expedition to the distant star, they were secretly investigating her behind the scenes!"

"Do you know how thick that investigation report is? It's over 100,000 pages long! During the hearing, it took two sentries to carry the box containing the investigation report to the courtroom."

……

Ai Wanxin was silent for a moment, and said speechlessly: "This is really hard work."

The veins on Jon's forehead throbbed, and his breathing and speech speed increased significantly. "That report covers almost the entire life of the commander since the ancient Earth era. Could it have been prepared overnight? They were obviously prepared in advance, just like they were sure that the commander would not come back from the distant star."

"According to their description, the commander who led humanity to resist the invasion of demons, established the invincible galactic expeditionary force, and defended the glory of the Interstellar Federation for hundreds of years has become a complete extremist, a thoroughgoing warmongerer, a cold-blooded and murderous anti-human warlord, and a brutal dictator who intends to subvert democracy and incite conspiracy and rebellion!"

Although she knew that nothing good would happen, Ai Wanxin was a little surprised that so many charges could be found.

“…How?” she asked.

Jon's face was gloomier than the bottom of a pot. He took a deep breath and said, "This matter started many, many years ago."

"When we came over from the Rainbow Bridge, the glass bridge, you should have noticed some strange 'people'. In fact, they are not human. They are alien immigrants who once coexisted peacefully with us on ancient Earth for a long time."

Ai Wanxin guessed that Jon felt that the remnants of the ancient gods were outrageous and difficult to explain, so he found an explanation that was easier for her, an Earthling, to understand. She did not raise any objections, but nodded.

Jon went on to say, "But peace did not last forever. Eventually, a very brutal war broke out between us and the alien immigrants. Humanity even faced the crisis of extinction at one point."

"It was the commander-in-chief who stepped forward and led the predecessor of the Galactic Expeditionary Force, the Knights Templar, to expel those alien immigrants."

"In fact, many of the commanders and the Knights Templar soldiers at the time were mixed-race aliens. But because those demons - I'm still used to calling them that - were too brutal, the commander and his men chose to stand on the side of humans."

"This was originally an undisputed achievement, but the report said that the commander had a personal grudge with the then Demon Lord, and in order to avenge his vengeance, he single-handedly initiated the protracted war."

"She is the culprit who ultimately caused the ancient Earth's core to shatter, forcing humans to leave their homes and wander in space in search of a new habitat!"

Ai Wanxin's pupils dilated slightly. This ability to confuse right and wrong was quite astonishing.

"So... the reappearance of those expelled demons here is also related to this incident?"

Jon's jaw tightened, and he said bitterly, "Yes, they said that humans and demons had lived in peace for so many years. Why did a fierce conflict break out between the two sides after the commander left the then great lord?"

"If the devil is really so cruel, how could he have disguised himself for so many years?"

"It's all the Commander's fault. For her own selfish interests, she transformed the gentle alien immigrants into unforgivable demons and stirred up hatred between humans and them."

"Because she was afraid of being exposed and put on trial, she deceived the then Speaker of the Federal Parliament and made him sign an unbreakable oath with her on behalf of all mankind. She said, if the commander-in-chief did not have something to hide, why would he sign such an oath?"

Ai Wanxin closed her eyes to hide the trembling in her heart. This is terrible. We made an unbreakable oath just to prevent you from destroying the bridge after crossing it. And you can use this to your advantage. You are so evil-minded!

When Jon said this, his eyes were red with anger. Andy was afraid that he would be too emotional, so he quickly finished his unfinished words for him: "They believe that after years of investigation by the parliament, the truth of the year has finally been restored, so those 'gentle' alien immigrants should naturally return to the embrace of the human federation."

Ai Wan held his forehead with a headache. How did that sentence go? The only lesson mankind has learned from history is that it never learns any lessons.

"And then?" she said breathlessly. A 10,000-page report, this is probably just the beginning.

Andy stepped forward and said briefly, "The report also said that the commander-in-chief had tasted the sweetness of the war against the demons, so in the hundreds of years since he settled on the new main planet, he has been continuously expanding to other planets. By launching interstellar wars, he has consolidated his position in the military and the federal government and gained a lot of benefits."

"For example..." Ai Wanxin gave Andy a hint, there are benefits to fighting a war, why don't you go and fight yourself!

"For example, they think that the commander-in-chief has placed generals from the Knights of the Order around him in key positions in the Galactic Expeditionary Force, turning the Galactic Expeditionary Force into her private property. They also say that she takes trillions of dollars from the parliament every year to maintain the huge military expenditure of the Galactic Expeditionary Force, but at the same time, she controls the key technologies for armament production, such as the manufacture of rune mechas, and even the speaker is not allowed to interfere."

"So, they think that the Commander uses the budget given by the parliament to purchase armaments for the Galactic Expeditionary Force, which is equivalent to her using the taxes paid by the citizens of the Federation to buy mechas from her own company to support her own army."

"Ah?" Ai Wanxin opened his eyes in confusion, "So they want to get the Rune Mecha for free without spending a penny, right?"

What a blood-sucking vampire!

Andy smiled bitterly. "Moreover, they also said that the commander-in-chief embezzled the military funds and gave them to certain members of the parliament in exchange for their support, thereby manipulating various bills of the federal government and even influencing elections. He is the black hand behind the federal parliament that can turn the tide."

Ai Wanxin was so angry that she laughed: "Such a black hand that can change the situation, the new speaker can force her to personally conquer the distant stars, isn't it a bit too much?"

Jon said in a deep voice, "They also have their own explanation for this. They said that the Commander originally wanted to push another candidate to become the Speaker, but because the current Speaker was too popular, she turned the tide and her plan to continue to control the Federal Parliament failed."

"So the commander deliberately provoked a war on the border in an attempt to re-expand her influence among the citizens of the Federation. Just like countless times before, she staged and directed the rebellion on the distant star herself."

"The current speaker is very observant and fearless. He is a hero who fights the dragon alone. The commander knew that his crime would be exposed soon, so he led his troops to defect."

The lounge fell into an eerie silence.

The person is dead, so of course they can say whatever they want.

Ai Wanxin completely understood that this was not a secret investigation at all, it was a death script tailor-made for her!
