The black lead cloud pressed above the head like a huge pot lid, and the air seemed extremely dull. Every breath and breath seemed to require a lot of effort.
The fire that started in the middle of the night has gradually been extinguished. The whole area within dozens of miles of Fangyuan has turned into a piece of charred black land.
The castle in the distance was also turned into a ruin in the soaring flames. Only a few wisps of rising green smoke were left, floating lightly in the breeze.
The few surviving birds chirped sadly and kept circling in the sky. Seeing that their former homes were burned to a white ground, they finally accepted this reality helplessly, flapped their wings, and flew towards the distant sky.
.
A big foot wearing a steel military boot stepped heavily on a pile of unburned ashes, immediately stirring up countless black smoke.
Immediately afterwards, a sharp long knife slammed into the open space next to it, making a loud "thud" sound.
The bright red blood stains, with a sad and tragic beauty, slowly flowed down from the handle of the long knife, flowed through the sharp blade, and then soaked the black land.
The mirror-like knife reflected its tall, muscular owner, and the ragged warriors behind him holding sticks and kitchen knives.
Although those warriors were all sallow and skinny, and their rough hands were covered with calluses, it was obvious that before yesterday, they were just a group of farmers and hunters who worked hard but could barely make a living.
Now, their hands were holding weapons tightly, and each of their faces looked overly excited and even a little ferocious because of the blood stains on their faces from the killing last night.
But their eyes were now extremely bright, no longer cloudy as before. They all looked closely at the big man, with reverence on their faces.
There was silence all around, only the everlasting whining sound of the long wind passing by could be faintly heard from the depths of heaven and earth, and from the other end of the prairie.
The big man stood there, staring blankly at the distant sky, not knowing what he was thinking.
At this moment, a burst of pleading and arguing came from not far away, interrupting his thoughts.
The big man couldn't help but frown and turned to look.
I saw a fat, middle-aged man dressed as an aristocrat, being escorted by two guards holding sharp swords, reluctantly walking towards this side step by step.
That member of a noble family had long lost his former elegance.
His eyes were bruised and swollen, and his originally gorgeous clothes were torn into tatters. The long hair on his head was not combed and was covered with straw and black ash, making him look miserable.
As he walked, he kept screaming at the top of his voice, saying: "You can't treat me like this, treat a noble like this. This is against the law. I am just following the sacred law and performing my duties as a lord."
obligations..."
Although he kept shouting loudly, and his bare white feet stomped on the ground, which hurt him, and he kept frowning and moaning in pain. But he did not dare to stop at all. Because he
He knew clearly that the two guards with frosty faces would be happy to stab him through each other with their sharpened wooden sticks.
As he was speaking, a guard pushed him impatiently and pushed him to the ground.
The lord screamed in pain and was about to get up when he saw a pair of military boots appearing in front of him. He couldn't help but be startled. Then he put his hands on the ground and slowly raised his head and looked up.
Finally, after seeing the strong and cold face of the big man clearly, the lord's pupils suddenly shrank, and his lips lost color at that moment.
His lips trembled twice, and then he murmured: "Welis Alan's son."
After he finished speaking, his whole body seemed to have lost all strength and fell limply to the ground.
The big man looked at him with disgust and cursed in a low voice: "Get up, you bastard~!"
Then he reached out and violently dragged him up from the ground like a dead dog. Then he dragged him to a cross.
The big man pressed him on the cross, then reached out and pulled out a sharp dagger from his waist, and put it against the noble's neck.
At this time, the noble felt a cold breath on his neck, and he suddenly knew that there was no way to save it, and his death was coming. His face suddenly changed, and he looked at the big man with a ferocious expression, and shouted in a hissing voice: "Wait a minute."
Come on~! The empire will definitely avenge me."
A trace of ridicule flashed across the big man's face, and he murmured: "I will wait for that day."
After saying that, he made a slight stroke with the knife, and the sharp blade cut the noble's throat immediately. Blood spurted out like a fountain several feet away, splashing all over the big man's head and face.
The big man didn't hide away. He just watched coldly as his blood spilled out like a fountain, and watched the light of life disappear bit by bit from that man's eyes.
Just like that nobleman who brutally killed his newlywed wife~!
When the noble's body fell helplessly to the ground like a piece of wood. The big man took a deep breath, carefully smelling the blood in the air, savoring the pleasure of revenge.
He raised his head to look at the sky, and then whispered: "Molia, my poor wife. Have you seen it? I have killed the county guard to avenge you."
After he finished speaking, he raised the long knife in his hand high, like a lion, and roared angrily at the sky: "Freedom~!"
Behind him, countless warriors who were unwilling to be humiliated and yearned for freedom also raised their weapons and roared angrily.
"Free~!"
"Free~!"
"..."
The unyielding roars gathered together, like a furious wave, resounding throughout the entire earth.
As if in response to their roar, at this moment, a bright bolt of lightning flashed across the dark cloudy sky, piercing the sky like a sharp sword.
Immediately afterwards, thunder exploded, shaking the mountains and shaking the ground.
The pouring rain, carried by the strong wind, was like a doomsday flood that cleansed away all the evil in the world. It arrived as scheduled amidst the thunder and spread all over the earth.
Time has also been set at this moment. These people and this picture have been firmly recorded in history.
The Methodist Rebellion in the southern part of the Almohad Empire has finally begun~!
Once it arrives, it will surely shock the whole world like thunder and lightning.
Lorraine lowered her head and read the belated report again, then gently closed the file, and finally couldn't help but sigh softly.
Next to her, Catherine was beaming with joy, pulling Adele around in the living room and dancing happily.
But it's no wonder she behaved like this.
Because through this belated report, Lorraine finally understood why the Almohads stood in front of each other and had such a big difference in attitude.
A violent peasant uprising broke out in the major grain-producing provinces of the southern Almohad Empire. And the timing of the outbreak was so perfect, just after the grain crops were mature and harvested.
When the rebels captured the capital town of Lanark, they killed the county guard on the spot. They also collected all the food that had been collected but had not yet been transported.
After receiving a large amount of supplies, the mood of the rebels was extremely high, and the situation in the empire also deteriorated sharply. Now, six of the seven major grain-producing provinces in the south of Almohad Emperor have been completely captured by the rebels.
When this report came, they had already occupied most of the seventh province. And the nobles who had been riding on their heads to lord it over them were all trembling with fear in front of these rebels.
, even gave up his duties as a lord to protect the land and fled with his family.
The people who were originally overwhelmed by the excessive taxation have long since become like dry firewood. Just a little spark is enough to ignite a fire that destroys everything.
And Wylis gave them just such an opportunity. With the banner of the uprising, he immediately called for a hundred promises, and those who responded gathered together.
Those brave rebels carried hoes and dung forks and gathered together from all directions. Under the leadership of the dilapidated knight, they had defeated five crusade armies in a row.
More than 7,000 cavalry and more than 10,000 infantry. Nearly 20,000 imperial soldiers stained the battlefield with blood. Even a great magician sent by the empire fell into the sand and died heroically in one of the battles.
After winning consecutive battles, the enthusiasm of the rebels was unprecedentedly high, and their troops even pointed at the capital of the empire.
Under this situation, as the empire's number one general, Amor and Hadu, urged by seven strict orders from the empire, had left Saipana Fortress in the north, led an elite army of 50,000, and marched south to put down the rebellion.
Went.
And the assassin who assassinated Imperial Prime Minister Russell also came from among the rebels.
Although the great commander of the rebel army, Willis, was just a broken knight, he also had an extremely brilliant strategic vision. He knew that the strength of these people alone was not enough to shake the foundation of the Almohad Empire.
He sent assassins to kill the Prime Minister of the Ruman Empire, just to arouse the anger of the Ruman Empire and provoke a war between Ruman and Almohad, so as to share the increasing pressure of the rebels.
Originally, there was a heavy iron curtain and a tight blockade between the two countries. Even if there were espionage activities, such important confidential information could not be transmitted so easily.
However, after the assassination of Imperial Prime Minister Russell, the Almohad Empire, which was already in a state of distress, was worried that the Ruman Empire would declare war in anger and raise troops to retaliate against itself, so it had to open its borders.
Let this information flow out.
Gondores, the second Almohad prince, also had an extremely bachelor attitude towards this matter.
In his words, "I know you don't believe our explanation for the assassination of your leader, so let your spies report it. See if we lied."
But a reminder, although we have a hostile relationship, we are still nobles after all. We will take advantage of the situation to rob or whatever. At this critical juncture, no matter what, we can’t let those poor people gain the upper hand. Otherwise, the poor people in your country may not be able to win.
If the ghosts see this, they will imitate you and rebel against you."
Lorraine thought of the sad look on the prince's face, and couldn't help but feel amused. No wonder other people were unwilling to take on the task of peace talks and sent him here. This job of asking for compromise is indeed not easy to do.
But having said that, there was such a big turmoil in the south of the Almohad Empire, but the Ruman Empire didn't hear any news at all.
While Lorraine secretly admired the Almohad Empire's strict counter-intelligence agency, she couldn't help but curse the Ruman Empire's intelligence agency for being such a loser. They couldn't even send back a small note for such a big thing.
It was only through the opponent's relief that the report was delivered.
Those guys are actually worse than the Los Angeles police.
At least when those gangsters in the Los Angeles Police Department catch a rabbit, even though they can't catch a rabbit, they will catch a raccoon, cut its raw pork into pieces and then beat it up so that it will admit that it is a rabbit.
It's no wonder that when Russell heard that he had a way to establish a complete spy network in Almohad, he immediately ran over.
Lorraine was running with vicious thoughts in her mind, and suddenly remembered something, and then asked Catherine and others who were happily celebrating the virtues: "By the way. Why is there no mention in this report of why those dead people suddenly
An uprising broke out? Did they take the wrong medicine all of a sudden?"
Catherine was stunned for a moment, then walked over and looked through the report, then pulled out a report and gloated: "Look at this~! It's very clear on it."
She also felt a little tired from dancing too happily just now, so she smoothed her hair, which was a little messy, and sat down on the chair next to Lorraine. Then she picked up the teacup Lorraine put on the table and took a sip.
Then he continued: "Those idiots in the Almohad were deceived by those idiots in the Holy See. They actually implemented the right of first night there."
Lorraine's eyes widened suddenly, as if she didn't hear clearly, and said: "You...what did you say?"
Catherine shook the piece of paper with some disgust, as if it would dirty her hands, and then said word by word: "I said, they really implemented the right of first night in the empire."
After saying that, he glanced at Lorraine angrily. Seeing his surprised expression, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said in a low voice: "I knew you guys were nothing, and I was so happy when I heard this.
Come on~!"
She paused for a moment, then said angrily: "If you dare one day...see if I don't kill you with a knife~!"
Only then did Lorraine wake up.
He couldn't help but stumbled and sighed: "Those idiots~! They actually went out to break the law. I don't know how to go down and do some research. When did nobles need to formulate special laws to protect them when they play with women? All they have to do is hook their fingers.
,Then the girl will take off her clothes by herself..."
When he said this, he suddenly saw two pairs of beautiful, extremely angry eyes staring at him closely, and fire could almost burst out of those beautiful eyes.
Only then did Lorraine realize her gaffe and hurriedly stopped.
He looked into the eyes of the other two people and couldn't help but swallow. Then he cautiously put the pillow in front of him and said, "You...what do you want to do?"
Adele frowned with her slender and picturesque willow eyebrows, leaned down, stared into his eyes closely, and then said in a cold voice: "Say~! When you were in your own territory, you hooked your fingers several times
?”
Lorraine couldn't help shrinking her body. Looking at those bright beautiful eyes, she even felt suffocated. He couldn't help but look away and lowered his head. But he happened to see Adele through the loose collar.
Those hyperbolically perfect, plump jade peaks.
Although she was leaning down, her beautiful jade peaks were still proud and erect, her skin was as white as jade, plump and plump, and so tender that it seemed like water would ooze out when pinched.
Lorraine's eyes couldn't help but straighten up, and she looked into the depths of her suet-white jade-like breasts. She said with difficulty: "I...I...I really don't..."
Adele looked at his squinting eyes and understood immediately. But she suppressed her shame and gently shook her body, causing her breasts to rise and fall like waves, and then
In a sweet and charming voice, she said coquettishly: "Just tell me. How many times have you hooked your finger? Once? Twice? Oh my god, can you say that you hooked me three times?"
Lorraine looked at the boundless beauty in front of her, and her heart was suddenly filled with excitement. She wanted to admit it casually, but deep in her heart there was a rational voice shouting, "Be careful, she is using a beauty trap to seduce you."
As soon as you admit it, you will fall out immediately, and then you will have whips, candles and so on."
He opened his mouth several times, but in the end, his reason defeated his impulse.
Lorraine looked away, carefully looked at the patterns on the carpet under her feet, sighed, and said: "Hero, even if you don't believe in my moral character, at least you have to believe in my taste. Those chicks in the country, one
I don’t take a few showers or brush my teeth all year round. Will I be able to take care of it?”
After hearing this, Adele and Catherine couldn't help but look at each other, and then looked at each other. After a while, the two of them suddenly hugged each other, and then "hahaha..." they laughed coquettishly.
Seeing them laughing together, with their hair on their ears and hair on their temples, and their disheveled clothes, Lorraine couldn't help but sigh. If nothing else, just this pleasing lily was enough to make him ignorant of the taste of meat for half a month.
.
After the two of them finished laughing, Catherine rolled her eyes at him, and then said coquettishly: "You have passed another level."
She ran to Lorraine, then caressed his face and said, "How is it? Does the slap that that bad woman Hilmeria gave you still hurt?"
After saying that, I couldn't help but hugged Adele again, and the two of them laughed happily again.
Lorraine couldn't help but smile bitterly and touched her old face, feeling that the woman's blow still seemed to be burning in pain.
At this time, Carter coughed twice, and then walked in with a large group of files.
He pretended not to see the embarrassment on Lorraine's face, bowed to Catherine, and then said: "Miss, all the negotiation materials are ready. We should start formal negotiations with the Almohad Empire tomorrow."
