The royal palace of the Saint Solan Empire is located on Imperial Power Hill in the imperial capital.
Grand Duke Solan, who was still an important minister of the Roman Empire at that time, finally built the royal palace here when the Saint Solan Empire established its capital, and named the mountain Imperial Power Mountain. No matter from every aspect, it seems to have the same relationship with the Pope.
The Holy See Hill where it is located symbolizes the rivalry.
In the year when the St. Solan Empire was founded, Archduke Solan and the Holy Knights fought against the Pompeii Empire for twenty-one consecutive battles, winning twenty and losing one.
If the lost battle had not happened to be the last and most critical battle of the entire war, I am afraid that the territory of the Saint Solan Empire would have expanded much further to the west and north.
However, even if he lost the key battle, the old lion-like Grand Duke Solan did not leave any benefit to the Holy Religion.
Pompeii, Philip and Saint Solan divided the world into three parts, and the forces composed of small city-states, large and small knights, mercenary groups, alien tribes, criminals, pagans and others, with the indulgence and even support of Grand Duke Solan, forcibly
It occupied the northern part of the Saint Solan Empire and the eastern part of the Pompeii Empire, forming a fourth force outside the three empires. It is now the place of chaos in the people's mouth, and the city of sin in the mouth of the Holy See.
Over the past hundred years, the Holy Church has launched three Crusades in succession, all in vain. However, those knights who used the banner of the Holy Emperor and were pardoned by the Holy See for all their sins when they set out brought devastating disasters to the cities on the way.
.There were even many people who did not conquer the Land of Chaos in the end, let alone restore the glory of the Holy Religion there. Instead, they stayed and became fallen knights.
Mo Ya's carriage passed through the gate of the thick and tall city wall at the foot of Huangquan Mountain and went up the spiraling road.
Huangquan Mountain is located in the center of the imperial capital. It is cylindrical in shape and towers into the clouds. It looks like a lonely giant lighthouse on the boundless plain. There are two ways to reach the crown-like white castle at the top.
One is from the passage inside the mountain, and the other is the carriage path that winds around Huangquan Mountain.
The two small arrow-tailed dragons didn't care about the rotating slope that was very difficult to run, and they went very fast. After a while, the suspended magic pattern carriage was already halfway up.
When the ninth wall of the imperial palace appeared in front of her eyes, Mo Ya opened the curtains of the carriage and looked out the window. Every time she looked down at the imperial capital on the winding road of Huangquan Mountain, she always had a feeling of trembling and dazzling.
Looking around, the houses with different roof colors are like colorful matchboxes. The eight urban districts are neatly divided by the streets extending radially from the central square in eight directions. The huge city expands into the distance of the plain.
, boundless. Only when the towering black city walls on the periphery appear in front of your eyes like mountains, can you know where the edge of the city is.
There is no other city in the world that is more beautiful and more solid than the Imperial Capital seen from Imperial Power Mountain. The power that can defeat a city like the Saint Solan Imperial Capital may only come from within.
Mo Ya pondered, her eyes flickering slightly.
The war broke out, and the Fiery Cavalry was rolling in from the west of the empire. News from the front line came one after another, such as how many kilometers the enemy had advanced, which Solan army was defeated, which lord was killed, and which city fell.
information.
The century-old empire is in turmoil.
In the face of the Feili people's attack, Edward I had ordered the deployment of a frontier army from the northwest into the Prussian province to assist the Archduke of Prussia in resisting the enemy. At the same time, the two legions stationed near the border town of Longmen also rushed to support the war zone.
.
At the same time, Edward also recruited Hongran, one of the five major knights in the empire. The change was so fast that the guards leading the way were stunned for a moment.
Giving the handsome guard a radiant smile, Mo Ya walked into the meeting hall under the gaze of countless people.
"See Your Majesty."
Moya bowed slightly and saluted Emperor Edward.
On the high throne, a handsome and elegant middle-aged man was meditating quietly. If he didn't know him, no one would have thought that the scholar-like man in front of him was the master of this huge empire.
"Sit." Edward I nodded to his supervisory minister, and the queen sitting next to him also smiled at Mo Ya.
Mo Ya stood up, turned around, and glanced across the faces of the imperial nobles and ministers present. She chuckled softly and said softly: "I'm really sorry, masters, Mo Ya is late."
The originally dull and serious atmosphere in the meeting hall suddenly became strange with the laughter of this charming woman.
Some people couldn't help laughing, some forced smiles on their faces, and some simply turned away.
"The devil!"
"Vixen!"
Although these voices were neat and orderly, they only existed silently in everyone's hearts. Many people did not even dare to look at Mo Yaqiao's smiling eyes.
Everyone knows that this young and shameless Inspector General, who has only been in office for two or three days, comes from an established family in the empire.
The empire has many old families.
But there are only five families that have been prosperous since the time of Grand Duke Solan, or the earlier Roman Empire. And one of them is the Solan family of the imperial family.
Being able to sit on an equal footing with the royal family shows the transcendent status of the other four major families. It is said that some families even have a longer history and deeper foundation than the Solan family.
In the political situation of the Saint Solan Empire, the four major families are a very special existence. Their power is omnipresent, but they are willing to remain silent and never directly intervene in political disputes. As long as you don't directly provoke them, nothing will happen. But
Once they are offended, people will suddenly remember the rumors in the history of Saint Solan about how the enemies of the four major families fell.
Each rumor is different, but all are equally tragic!
Originally, the four major families had remained indifferent to the dispute between the royal family and Prime Minister Donald and remained neutral.
But people never dreamed that just a few days ago, the situation suddenly changed.
At that time, Edward suddenly ordered that the former Inspector General Charlotte be dismissed from office for dereliction of duty and investigated.
This order was like poking a hornet's nest.
The Saint Solan Empire Supervision Department is divided into two departments, internal and external. Its responsibilities are to supervise ministries and officials internally, and to detect intelligence, bribe enemy officials, install spies, and sabotage assassinations externally. It not only controls the intelligence network all over the continent
, there are thousands of spies, killers and direct supervisory forces under his command.
Prior to this, the Ministry of Supervision had been controlled by Prime Minister Donald and was one of the most important components of Donald's power.
Edward's order was tantamount to a declaration of war.
While people were either watching nervously or gearing up to face the coming storm, a Kunlun slave drove a magic-patterned carriage pulled by two arrow-tailed dragons into the Imperial Capital Supervision Department.
When Charlotte fell in a pool of blood and Mo Ya sat in the office, everything was calm.
It was as calm as the expression on Donald's face when he was facing Mo Ya, who was sitting in the front seat below Edward.
It seemed that he didn't mind at all that this woman was late for such an important meeting, and that she was joking without seriousness.
Who can afford to offend someone who even Donald needs to be forbearing?
At least among these here, no one wants to be the second Charlotte.
Seeing Mo Ya sit down in her seat, Edward looked at her calmly and asked, "Is there any news?"
Edward's question made everyone focus on Mo Ya's face.
That is the issue that everyone is most concerned about at the moment, apart from the war - the safety of Princess Aleshia!
Mo Ya bowed gracefully and said: "Knight Alex of the Knights Templar has picked up Princess Aleshia and is on her way back to Munich City in Lullian. I have ordered the Supervision Office to be in Lulian's branch.
We will use the [Sky Demon Ship] to send Princess Aleshia back as soon as she arrives in Munni City."
Hearing the news, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
It's just that everyone understands that everyone's starting point for caring about Princess Aleshia is different.
"How is she?" Edward said in a relaxed tone and waved his hand gently, indicating that Mo Ya didn't need to be so formal when talking to him.
Mo Ya smiled slightly and said: "The princess was not harmed in any way. The royal guards protected her very well."
"When they come back, reward them well." Edward said with a relieved smile.
"But Your Majesty, the casualties of the Royal Guard this time are quite serious." Mo Ya said slowly. This was just the beginning of the next conversation, and she was sorting out the next words in her mind.
"Oh?" Edward sat up straight.
"Among the eight royal knights, three were killed in the battle. The squad leader Hugo was seriously injured. Of the two hundred and twenty royal non-commissioned officers, 113 were killed in the battle, 22 were missing, and 18 were injured." Mo Ya said.
: "Also killed in the battle was Baron Brian of Borabel City."
Edward's eyes narrowed, Donald's face was expressionless, and the nobles whispered among themselves.
"In addition, according to the report from earlier, the Knights Templar clashed with the Royal Guards when they were rescuing the princess." Mo Ya looked at Donald, who had a pair of slender eyes and a gloomy face, and his eyes flashed:
"Royal Guard Brave Knight Punk was seriously injured, three royal non-commissioned officers and one civilian were killed, and another civilian was missing."
Mo Ya's voice was like magic, causing the entire meeting hall to become silent.
The Knights Templar clash with the Royal Guard!
A brave knight was seriously injured and three royal sergeants were killed. This was the most serious incident for the empire and the Holy Church in more than ten years.
Everyone's heartbeats began to accelerate.
It's just that everyone doesn't understand what's going on with the two civilians Mo Ya talks about. Who cares about the two civilians, but since Mo Ya specifically mentioned it, there must be a reason!
"Tell me, what's going on?" Edward's voice was filled with irrepressible anger.
Mo Ya opened the note in her hand and read the previous report on what happened at that time intact.
Following Mo Ya's report, the nobles' eyes opened wider and wider, and even the stone-like Donald's breathing rhythm also changed slightly.
Rescued the princess in the hunting area.
When Templar George and Friar Moon shamefully abandoned the civilians, they were the first to attack the enemy formation, protect the civilians, and lead them out of danger.
At the pass of the unnamed mountain peak, he was appointed by the princess as her future guardian knight.
In the end, Alex forced him to jump off the cliff.
When Mo Ya finished the report and read out the identity information about the injured knight and several deceased persons, all the nobles remembered the familiar yet unfamiliar name of the sixteen-year-old blue-eyed handyman in Lord Borabel's Mansion.
