Luke still couldn't figure out the assassination, but he consciously strengthened the security of his mansion. In the incident of His Majesty's assassination, he became the ultimate profiteer, so who can guarantee that
Why are others targeting Luke in order to obtain greater benefits? Now the security of Luke's mansion is definitely no worse than that of the palace. Originally, there were a large number of magic circles designed by the great magician Victor for reconnaissance. Now
Sending additional manpower will allow people living here not to worry about their own safety.
Of course, Luke didn't know that the biggest reason why Fernando XIII was assassinated was the stunningly beautiful Catherine sitting opposite him. It was this gorgeous Queen who helped the shadow dancer who had reached the legendary level.
Sneak into the palace, otherwise it would be very difficult for even the shadow dancer to sneak into the heavily guarded inner courtyard of the crown. If it were not breached from the inside, it would be possible to pay for the hundreds of years of trying to kill His Majesty the King.
There are simply too many people implementing it.
"Since you can't think clearly, then don't think about it and do the things in front of you first." This is Luke's creed in doing things. That night, under Catherine's persuasion, he decided to fight back and took control of the situation in the imperial capital.
He had always maintained a low-key posture, and despite the uproar in the royal meeting hall, Luke himself secretly gathered troops, gathered supplies, and slowly took control of the overall situation.
But the biggest consequence of Luke's actions was that it caused the empire to lose control. After all, a huge empire actually failed to function in a short period of time. The northern defense line was breached, the southern lords were ready to move, and the Clay tribe on the prairie also
He actually dared to snipe Orlando openly, but the empire remained silent. Even after Ryan and the others returned to the imperial capital with the defeated troops of Thunder God Fortress, the empire did not immediately start full preparations for war and continued to make endless noises.
When Luke thought about this, he became slightly distracted. He knew that the current situation of the empire was related to his intentional indulgence at the time, but he did not regret it. Even if he knew at the time that it would be the consequence, Luke would still be firm.
to adopt the method he adopted at that time. In Luke
It seems that the biggest factor affecting the empire is the decadent nobles. If no changes are made, even if Fernando XIII controls everything, the orders of the ruler of the empire will probably not leave the imperial capital. At most, they will be in Sunrise City and Seawind City.
Only a few cities have a little influence.
"It's been 200 years, and this empire is getting older after all." Luke's face was filled with vicissitudes of life, and he sighed secretly in his heart.
"Luke! Luke?" Catherine's voice brought Luke back to his senses. He secretly blamed himself for being distracted on such an occasion. Is he really old?
"Luke, it seems that everyone has already enjoyed the meal. Why don't we go to bed early? There are still a lot of things to do tomorrow!" Catherine saw that Luke had come to his senses and put forward her own initiative.
Luke nodded and agreed to Catherine's suggestion, and then he personally sent Catherine to her resting place, which was next to the courtyard where Sister Faras lived. Maia and the others naturally lived with Ryan and others.
One person per room.
After settling everything, Luke then remembered that the magic scroll that Victor gave him had not yet been handed over to Ryan. At this moment, he had already reached the door of his bedroom, and couldn't help but turn around and walk out with a wry smile. If it was normal, Luke would
I will definitely wait until the next day to talk about it, but now is an extraordinary time, who knows
When will the orcs come? Besides, Luke will definitely be busy tomorrow morning. It would be better to hand it over to Ryan earlier. And if necessary, Luke even hopes to send his two daughters to Victor.
He wanted to go to the Magic Tower, which was definitely safer than his own mansion.
An army of half a million orcs can flatten a mountain and conquer a city, but they can't find Victor's magic tower. Although Luke doesn't understand magic, Luke has always had blind trust in Victor, even if he
Surrounded by half a million troops, Victor could still escape unscathed as long as he took action.
Soon, Luke saw Ryan in his study. Ryan was also very surprised that Luke came to see him so late, but he did not express his doubts. Isn’t it a short time to know Faras?
Although Ryan is not enthusiastic about politics and power, he also knows a lot of taboos, such as things that you shouldn’t ask and can’t tell, and don’t get involved. There are many things that can be told to you naturally. If you don’t tell you, you will be sure.
There are necessary reasons.
Luke simply told Ryan what Victor said and handed the magic scroll to Ryan. Ryan took the scroll with excitement and looked over it. If he guessed correctly, this scroll must be
It is a magic similar to time and space teleportation. He doesn't know much about Victor, but he is still very curious and curious about Victor's ability to make a huge teleportation array on a small magic scroll.
admired.
Luke smiled and shook his head. This Ryan is really innocent. He is still thinking about magic at this time. However, it is this character of Ryan that makes Luke not object to the matter between him and Farasi.
, after all, Faras is the daughter of the Imperial Finance Minister, and there are countless men who have designs on her. If Ryan can always maintain a detached attitude and not get involved in power, Faras can live a happy life.
, is also a good thing.
"Okay, you can read it slowly when you have time." Seeing that Ryan seemed to be immersed in it, Luke quickly interrupted his train of thought. When Victor was studying magic, he often meditated for three or five days at a time. Luke didn't
I hope Ryan will become like that, at least not now. "By the way, if possible
If possible, Ryan, you should go and meet your comrades in Thunder God Fortress. The situation is not good for us now. If you can lead a strong team, I believe it will play a big role. You will be personally responsible for it then.
Catherine's safety protection will make me feel at ease."
Ryan was a little confused about Luke's words. He asked Luke: "Catherine? Didn't you say that the safety of the royal family is responsible for the Holy Knight? Why do you still want me to go? Ah, could it be that you are pretending to be a public servant?
"
Luke's eyes suddenly widened. He stroked his chin hard, but found that his beard had been trimmed clean a long time ago, and he didn't stroke anything at all. Luke couldn't help but laughed and cursed: "Well, you Ryan,
You think very quickly. This factor is a little bit, but it’s not important. If I want to protect you, I can just take you with me, so why bother?”
When Ryan heard this, it was indeed the truth, and his eyes naturally showed a puzzled look.
Luke explained: "Since Catherine has decided to stay after this banquet, I must ensure her safety. Otherwise, even if I repel the orcs, I will be finished. I don't trust the others at all, so I can only leave them to the last resort."
A person I trust, given the relationship between you and Farasi, of course I will choose
You. As for the Holy Knights, there is a very important reason for this, that is, the imperial capital's military strength is currently weak, but the imperial capital's city walls are vast. If the existing armies are deployed in a balanced manner, the orcs only need to rely on their numerical advantage to
Attack by force, and the imperial capital will be captured."
"In order to resist the hundreds of thousands of orcs, we must expand our army aggressively, but the soldiers we have just recruited have almost no training and no actual combat experience. Do you think they can have combat effectiveness?" Without waiting for Ryan to answer, Luke asked
He said to himself: "I estimate that these recruits will collapse at the sight of blood. In order to avoid this situation, we can only dismantle the Holy Knights."
After breaking it up, Orlando now has 5,000 official Holy Knights and about 5,000 trainee Holy Knights. For every 100-person team, one official Holy Knight and one trainee Holy Knight will be arranged. Then these people can be used as the backbone to expand to 50
Ten thousand troops, this number is actually not enough, but coupled with the 200,000 elite troops, we can barely fight."
"Why not disperse those 200,000 elites? Besides, the Holy Knight can immediately equip these recruits with combat effectiveness?" Ryan asked.
Luke explained: "Once those 200,000 elites are dispersed, we will no longer have an army we can trust to fight tough battles. Some important places still have to be defended by them. Only this kind of elites can confront the orcs head-on."
.As for Holy Knight, Ryan, don’t you know, these
Everyone has received training in military skills. In fact, the Fernando royal family trains these holy knights as junior officers. Those holy knights who can receive God's blessing become the most powerful army in the empire in the Royal Knights, but those who cannot pass the test
They are also the foundation of the army."
Ryan suddenly understood. It seemed that the king who established the Royal Knights was really far-sighted. In this way, the empire could provide thousands of junior officers at any time. Once encountering the current situation, they could immediately form a huge army.
army.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore." Luke smiled and said to Ryan: "Go back and rest quickly, you will be very busy tomorrow. I'll leave that to you, it's very important."
Ryan nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will do my best." After Ryan said this, seeing that Luke didn't say anything more, he put the scroll away and walked out.
Luke poured himself a glass of the best Bordeaux and drank it in one gulp. Then he said quietly: "Chad, Chad, all your properties now belong to me. Even the things you have treasured for more than 200 years have been kept forever."
I can drink the best Bordeaux that I can't bear to drink as water. Hey, this power is really useful."
"Oh, my two daughters, the men they like are all very good, but it's a pity that they are not keen on power at all! Orlando won't say it, and Ryan is just like an unused card.
Magic scroll. In fact, what I just hinted is already very obvious. 'Only' the 200,000 elites can fight head-on. The temporarily recruited army is ultimately nothing more than a set of numbers in the data that consume the power of the orcs. Maybe I have been in a high position for too long.
Have you become indifferent to many things?"
"Since you are not enthusiastic about these things, then forget it. If you can make my two daughters happy throughout their lives, that is my greatest happiness. However, maybe it is time for me to train a successor. Well, let's take a look first
Which of you two sisters will give birth to a boy?"
Luke held the crystal cup and fell into deep thought in the study.
