Chapter 54 The smoke of gunpowder is rising
Standing at the corner of Mingzhu Mountain, almost half of the entire mountain was dug out, and the huge and magnificent city built has been standing quietly for more than a thousand years. In the past thousand years, even though the continent has been surging and countless changes have occurred, no one has been able to successfully destroy the city. This is an immortal city, and people living in the city have recognized one thing, that is, this is the safest place on the continent.
A horse neigh broke the peace of the imperial palace, and the whole palace was panicked, turning this place that had always been very quiet and became noisy. At this time, a knight in heavy armor turned over from the horse's back. The steel boots were heavily stepped on the ground and made a clattering sound. With this quick pace, the knight came outside the main hall, pushed with both hands, and heard a clattering sound, and the door of the main hall was pushed open.
Hum~!
It was more than two meters high, with iron sheets on the outside and very beautiful patterns carved with doors, making a loud noise. Everyone who was driving the meeting inside turned their heads and looked over, and stood there with surprise eyes. Even the little emperor, who was only about fourteen years old, looked surprised. Under the little emperor, the seat of the Regent, a luxurious fat man about forty-three years old stood up and shouted: "Aisinger! Why did you run in without reporting? Do you want to rebel!!!"
Bang!
The door was immediately closed, and the man wearing knight armor took off the helmet on his head, revealing a face full of perseverance. Just like the perfect statue carved in the hands of an ancient Greek master, it has the beauty of firm lines. Anyone who sees it knows that this is a very upright person. Unlike the vulgar Regent, this man is the military soul of almost all the imperial people. There is still the last remaining imperial marshal who can protect the empire from being threatened by the regent - Aisinger So Dekras!
I saw Aisinger glanced at everyone, without saying a word, and walked forward steadily. On both sides of the huge main hall, statues of kings of all generations stood. Looking at each statue, it was so majestic. Looking at the little king sitting on the throne, the huge contrast made the general who was worried about the country sigh deeply. But the eyes of protecting the country became even more determined.
Tattatata...
The steel boots trampled on the ground, and the clattering sound hit the hearts of everyone present, as if every foot was stepping on everyone's heart. Everyone present did not have the courage to look at Esinger directly. Finally, when Esinger walked to the little king and glared at the Regent fiercely. The Regent sat on his chair in horror. At that time, he saw Esinger kneeling down at the king and said majestic: "Dear King, will I rebel as some people say? Everyone knows in their hearts. But I know one thing
The thing is, there is really a rebellion. Your aunt, the Lord of Todi City, Prince Merri, has been murdered. There have been huge rebellions and riots in the place she manages. A man who calls himself the Son of God has now taken over about three-quarters of the army of Todi City, and about 150,000 civilians. There are about 450,000 troops. Now the entire prison about ten miles outside Todi City is under his control. Such a huge army and organization has seriously threatened the security of our country. Please ask His Highness to take quick response."
A loud voice echoed throughout the main hall, like a bell, hitting the deepest part of everyone's heart. For a moment, everyone in the entire hall was stunned by the sudden news. Where is the Tuodi City? 40% of the source of the empire's economic source every year comes from Tuodi City. If Tuodi City is lost, it is equivalent to breaking one of the empire's arm, and it is the most important right hand.
No matter who it was, even the Regent stood up in shock and shouted loudly: "Aisinger, why don't you report in time!"
Aisinger sneered and said, "Don't report in time? Four hours ago, I just received the news. I rushed over from afar. You actually said I didn't report in time? Humph, you guy sitting in front of the emperor and flattering. Do you know what's going on outside? I warn you, if something goes wrong in the city of Todi, the biggest sinner is you!"
The Regent sat on the chair again with a pirate robe, so angry that he couldn't speak. On the other side, an old man in a magic robe frowned and stood up, saying, "Please forgive me, respected Marshal Aisinger. I really can't believe you. As the best magician in the empire, I don't think Prince Meri could be killed. If this is true, then our enemies would be terrifying. You know, just yesterday, I didn't feel too much magic fluctuation. If Prince Meri used his forbidden magic, I would definitely feel it."
Aisinger still respected the old magician very much, and his voice was a little lighter, but he still said loudly: "Dear great magician, the great sage, Master Mos. I know you are indeed very suspicious of such a result. But what I described is a fact, because Prince Merry had no chance to use her forbidden magic at all, and was killed by the other party. And I can't understand why a magician with the power to destroy half of the city was killed like this? Then there may be only one result, that is, the Dark Night Guild, or it may be mixed up."
More uproars appeared in the hall. The Regent slaps his chair handle hard, and while he slaps his slap, he hears the Regent shouting loudly: "Silent, quiet, quiet! I believe no one can steal anything from our hands, even God. What's more, the other party just occupied a small prison? He has a little more subordinates. In our eyes, at most, it's just a group of small thieves or something. Such an existence cannot shake any country, let alone the greatest empire like ours, and there is no possibility of dealing with it. What we have to do now is to discuss how to wipe out this small thieves!"
When everyone thought that although the other party had done several sensational things, it was unconventional after all, everyone felt relaxed. But Aisinger did not. Aisinger was a general, and he was the best student who graduated from the Military Academy. He had been on the battlefield for decades, and he could not understand the current situation. He stomped his feet heavily, and showed a strong domineering attitude on his face. He shouted, and then said: "Bastard, what is a small thief group? A total of 450,000 troops are enough to threaten any country and launch a huge battle.
Moreover, their location is quite sensitive, just ten miles away from Todi City. If they are willing to occupy Todi City, then when our army arrives there, they will face a solid city wall and an army with rich resources. In this case, without more than three times the opponent's military strength, it will not be able to attack. In other words, unless we have an army of 1.35 million, we can only take them down. Now, we can only pray, pray that the other party is not a military genius and has not had the idea of fighting Todi City, otherwise we will suffer."
Everyone fell silent, and even the Regent looked at Aisinger with a gloomy face and couldn't speak. After a while, he heard the king suddenly say childishly: "Then... then, big... big... big... big... marshal..., what do you think we... should... do?"
The king was obviously very young and had seen such a scene there. He was afraid of too much change, so he could only speak in a low voice. Aisinger sighed and immediately changed into the domineering arrogance that only soldiers had, and said in a heavy voice: "We must fight this battle! First, we must regain our land, and second, you must avenge your aunt, Prince Meri! Therefore, we must..."
Before Aisinger could speak, the Regent suddenly stood up and snatched: "Yes, we must destroy these bastards. Dear Your Majesty, please give a wise will and send a suitable opponent to save the city of Tode!
Aisinger's face turned cold. Looking at the Regent, he almost understood what he wanted to do. He didn't dare to hesitate too much, and gritted his teeth and said, "I am willing to lead troops to wipe out these bandits!"
The king was stunned and suddenly hesitated...—
