The emperor's voice was trembling, causing several nobles who had just gathered to hold their breath in fear... The three leading dukes and the two emperors were not in the city at this moment, and several officers in charge of the city defense had already rushed to the city.
In their own positions, they are not responsible for any major affairs, but they are meaningless. A situation is not good and may become the tool for the supreme to vent their anger, but fortunately, although this young monarch does
Not being in a peaceful state, but at least he could barely control his emotions - he snorted heavily, and he suppressed the curses, his voice low and like a torn cloth: "How much damage will those things cause?"
"Please don't worry, these things... although they are a bit difficult to deal with, their destructive power is limited after all. As long as you gather enough mages..." A gorgeously dressed mage spoke, he was also the only person here who was qualified to respond.
But the young emperor interrupted him immediately:
"Didn't there be any news from the teacher Gaia and the others?"
"We have tried our best to contact the three masters and have sent people to use teleportation..."
"There are more than 12,000 troops gathered there, 15,000 orc slaves! Two thousand three hundred emperors chose knights and warlocks, and the portal has not been closed yet. How could you, how could you keep a little news?
He didn't bring it back!" The king's anger surged again, but he didn't speak loudly: "Where are your magic? Where are your equipment? Or, more simply, can't you send some people to ask?"
The wizard's face was cold. The emperor could think of these methods, of course he could - and facts have long proved that these were completely ineffective:
"You know.≤Opening those portals has consumed all our spell positions above the fifth ring, and the mages who still have spell positions are heading towards Burgundy. Now we have to go through a full day of rest
Only then can you recover your strength, but..."
"But, but, but!" The emperor slapped the table hard: "It's enough! You can gather all the mages in the city for me. No matter what method you want to use, I must kill those damn ones for me.
Iron box! I want to use him to embellish the throne!"
"Well, it seems a bit difficult."
Everyone's eyes were shocked and looked in the direction of the sound - it was originally the empty corner of the small living room, but at this moment, there was a man sitting in that seat, judging by himself.
Pick up a glass of wine on the table and sip it slowly.
"Those things. Although they don't look good, most of them are pure gold, plus the internal magic array, steam power, etc. I'm afraid you can't afford it."
He smiled at the emperor and showed his white teeth: "But if you really need it, you can't think about it. You can parade on its cannon barrel later, of course..."
"It's hanging..."
"Sit down. Don't worry..."
The young man raised the wine glass in his hand, his tone was gentle, but his voice was filled with magic. The six warriors in the hall who had drawn their swords to retract their swords and returned to their sheaths, and then they really retreated. Three ran towards them.
The bench, three walked towards the seats, and although there were indeed three or four people on the bench, it was not easy to do this with the half-body armor used for the concierge, and there were only two seats.
.One person is left.
In the end, they each bent down. And the last person sat underground... and it was particularly funny in action.
However, the others in the room could not have any smiles... Only a hint of coldness rose from the heart - even those who don't know anything about magic can be sure that it was a spell similar to "charming"
, but that person has completed it while talking and laughing.
There were no spells, no movements, and there seemed to be no magic props flashing on him.
Several nobles almost rolled and crawled backwards, and no one dared to shout stupid questions such as "Bold and rude" and "Who are you?"... As for the so-called loyalty and protection of the Lord, we must also look at it.
Depending on the situation, how could this guy who appeared silently in front of the king be able to stop him by those who were fighting for his life?
So, a wide space appeared in the small room, allowing two pairs of eyes to look at each other silently.
"Interesting, can I know your honorary name?" The emperor's brows moved slightly, but it quickly unfolded. He slowly paced back to his seat and slowly took his seat. The peaceful question made the other party pick too.
He raised his eyebrows: "Oh, although he is usually very irritable, he can calm himself down at the real critical moment?"
The man in black took another sip of wine: "I remember that there were many emperors in history like this, for example, what? 'Horror Red Beard'?"
"The envoy of greatness and peace, the glorious victory and the continual expansion of the empire, the defender of justice and the law, among my ancestors, could rank the second greatest emperor."
The young emperor whispered the title of the emperor he was referring to, and then his famous saying: "'You must set an example for others, so that the shaken empire can be recovered through you.' This is that he cannot be mortals
The ambition of understanding, the fool can only see the nobles, bandits, and mobs he killed, but the so-called terror is actually just a means. If you do not have real calmness and wisdom, how can you abolish a large number of nobles
But did not trigger the resistance of the nobles? Even made them work harder? In the era of his survival, the military strength of the capital circle had dropped significantly. It was impossible to maintain forty years of rule by terror alone."
"Oh, it's so awesome." The man in black laughed, raised his glass to signal, and then drank it all: "Sure enough, everyone who can be the emperor is very powerful." He sighed, not knowing what it was.
Is it referring to the Red Beard Emperor or the Emperor in front of him
So the young emperor smiled and picked up a wine glass: "That kind of ancient tree wine is just new wine, used to decorate the tabletop. When direct sunlight, the taste has completely deteriorated. If it is true
Interested. Actually, you should try this, thirty years of aging. However, let’s go back to the original question. Haven’t you asked your name for your honor?”
"I thought. You would be more interested in my purpose?"
"Actually, your purpose is impossible to succeed no matter what it is... I am really just a little interested in your identity, but it doesn't matter. I have more talents under my command than I am good at asking, and they will tell me I am
Something I want to know.”
"Confidence is also an important characteristic of being an emperor. Even if it is not, it must be established, right?"
The man in black suddenly sighed: "Sure enough, a friend of mine once said that he said to be an emperor. In fact, there is nothing good, it is too tiring and not worth it. I didn't understand it very much at that time, but now it is probably
I understand, it's like some people always think that the city is too noisy and they have to live in the countryside, but after going there, they find all kinds of inconveniences."
"Tired?" The emperor of the new empire was stunned, and then shook his head slightly: "In this world, there is no way to get something for nothing."
"Of course it's not tired. It's not worth it."
The man in black said, "Emperor... it seems like there is everything, a large area of territory, a large number of people, bow down to your orders. In fact, you have only a name."
"The women in your territory are all yours, but there are only a few you can meet. They want your children wholeheartedly. Then they will kill you even more. Being a queen is definitely better than being a queen... You have a territory
All the money you have to do is yours. But you have to keep giving it to those geniuses, nobles, and mages... Otherwise, they will use all kinds of trouble to greet you and not listen to your orders. Finally,
, Your territory belongs to you, but you may not even be able to get out of this castle, otherwise there will be countless people shouting around you, why do you have to be in the safety of all people? Don't move easily..."
He just said to himself, as if he was communicating with an old friend:
"What exactly does an emperor have? Actually, it's just a name. My friend said that there was an emperor who ruled the entire continent during his lifetime, but after his death, their subordinates concealed the news of his death.
In his name, he replaced his appointed heir with a fool, so his empire was gone, and there was an emperor who had not managed his empire for decades, but his empire still operated as usual...
So if the emperor, king, leader, and other things like that, as long as you have such a name, it doesn’t make sense whether you die or not..."
This time, the emperor of the new empire was also silent.
In the small hall, you can hear the needle.
But soon, the rumbling sound from outside the window broke the silence. The bursting fire light illuminated the crystals in the window, rendering the entire room in an instant orange-red.
"It's just nonsense." The emperor of the empire sneered: "How can anyone who has never been an emperor know about the emperor?"
"I refuted Edward in the beginning."
The man in black sighed softly, but his eyes seemed to fall in the distance: "But after I became this king, another year later, I realized that there were some things that I really didn't have to do before I knew. Unfortunately, smart people don't
I can do it, stupid people have to do it, just like you and me..."
"you……"
The emperor of the empire was shocked. He looked at the seemingly ordinary face for the first time, and finally gradually overlapped it with the shadow of the king who had only seen in the illusion in memory! It was just those two faces.
The indescribable fear brought by the combination of two into one made him tremble continuously, and he could not even say anything at all. He could only listen to that voice and penetrated into his mind word by word.
"Your Emperor Electoral Legion, three ** divisions, tens of thousands of troops, and those more than ten thousand slaves are gone."
The king of Touminis said softly, and then paused: "Then, let's go here, let's go here."
He slowly stretched out his hand, and the wine glass in his hand seemed to be toasting the emperor, but the wine in the cup had been cleared, and only a few remains of residue slowly slid down from the mouth of the cup, as bright as blood.
Blood dripping bleeds between the emperor's neck of the new empire, one point to the line, and finally one thread...
As the blood splattered, the young emperor's head had already rolled to the ground.
After a long time, a few screams burst out from the nobles. Several people widened their eyes and looked at the corpse that was lying on their blood, unable to accept the fact that the emperor was dead. Several people with some control ability then fell silent, knowing that this
Such behaviors are likely to cause disgust, and it is likely that the fate of following His Majesty. There are two or three timid people who have turned their eyes, which has saved the pain of thinking. Only a few guards are still sitting on both sides.
He watched all this in a hunched manner without any response.
So there was silence in the huge room.
"It's a pity that I thought the emperor would know about the emperor."
The king in black stood up and hooked his hand. The head that had rolled onto the ground had flew out of thin air. He stopped in front of him, staring at the wide open eyes. He sighed softly and wiped it on.
.Then his eyes moved slightly. He turned around the strange faces of the nobles around him and finally fell on the mage:
"It's quite smart. If you understand magical combat alone, you should be much better than those mages who are used to sitting in the lab."
During the words, the mage's hand had already prepared most of the spells, and the bursting flames burned his right hand to charred!
Cold sweat dripped from the mage's face, his face pale as if dead, but he gritted his teeth and did not shout, but bent down and bowed his head. He saluted slightly to the man in black: "Mage of the Fifth Ring, Torifedo
, willing to serve you, Your Majesty.”
The young king of Touminis smiled coldly. He looked at the mage, looking up and down, but not speaking.
"The traitor is not trustworthy. But what I once swears to be loyal to is not the Empire, but His Majesty Alex Wilder." The mage's Adam's apple slid for a moment. The difficulty continues: "He is dead, I am still alive. A mage should not be
Those who died because of the rise and fall of the kingdom. The only thing that made him willingly die was the mystery of magic."
The king remains silent.
"I have condensed into my real name, and I can give it to you. Although my power is humble, I am the one who knows the best of the territory here, and at the same time, Alex Wilder... His Majesty's confidant, in his death
Before it came out, there were a lot of things I could do.”
The king looked at him and smiled:
"Okay, what do you want to do?"
"It is not important to you... what matters is the territory of the province of Standland and the soldiers in this city, so the traces of the Standland family are the most important.
But this duke has always been extremely cunning. He has been operating here for a long time. With your attack, he may have hid in a shelter with his family. It was a secret place that even the emperor did not know. There were several
There are six or seven exits for the magic circle. If there are not enough troops to block these exits separately, it will be difficult to catch them. In addition, I don’t think the news of the fall here is suitable for immediate transmission, but should be dispatched.
The manpower quickly controlled the territory of the three dukes. Their troops were mobilized because of this expedition, and their defense was extremely weak. As long as they controlled their capital, they could..."
The mage's voice is calm, but his speech speed is getting faster and faster. He reveals the defensive weaknesses of several counties and provinces of the new empire one by one, and at the same time, he presents the thought-out method of conquest, without caring about the contempt and anger in the eyes of the remaining nobles.
, and he was obviously not just beginning to think about these questions. The method proposed was not very good, but it was more practical and had very little loss. The young king listened quietly and nodded slightly from time to time. But it was just this subtle action,
The mage had already calmed down and knew that he had gained the trust of the king, at least his life was safe.
However, as time gradually passed, the sense of stability in my heart began to be shaken, shattered, and finally dissipated!
He couldn't stop.
As a mage, he may not be wise enough, but at least he knows that these secrets are the only remaining means to protect his life. Once he has fully spoken, his role will end here. As a mage, he just touched him.
Touching the edge of the gate of truth is extremely precious in the empire, but a talent like Tuminis, known as the small magic kingdom, is like a crucian carp crossing the river, and he has no advantage at all.
Therefore, He Pan had to at least wait until he received his real name. Although his life and death were completely under the control of the other party, at least in the hands of His Majesty the King, in other words, he had become a direct subordinate, or had more than half of the chance of survival.
But now, he has said enough, but he is still talking. The twelve counties and provinces that the new empire is still under control, and he has already mentioned the eighth one, and the two counties and provinces close to the West are in Touminis
In fact, it was as if it was a little tired under the attack, and it didn't require any means to calm down. It was useless to say or not.
His face was already covered in dead dust, sweat flowing through his jaw like a stream, but no matter how he wanted to stop this, his lips and even his limbs were not controlled at all...even his thinking was constantly rushing upwards,
Keep spewing out all the secrets in your heart!
After the two hourglass scales, he finally stopped, gasped heavily, and fell to the ground.
But the secret he knew was told without reservation.
The mage closed his eyes and had thought of several possibilities in his mind, but the best ending was to be killed to warn people and win over people's hearts. The traitor was not valued by the rulers at any time. If he could be betrayed once, he could
Betrayal for the second time...
However, I don’t know if it was the goddess of luck that was flying over his head at this moment, and the king did not seem to be paying attention to his life or death.
Holding the head of the dead emperor in his hand, he raised his eyes thoughtfully. Although his vision was empty, he did not give up on attention... Until a moment later, he stretched out his hand (to be continued, please search for Astronomy
