Law of the Devil Chapter 639: [National change! 】
Chapter 639 [National Transformation! 】
The prosperity of the imperial capital does not seem to have been much affected by the war. Since this year, the fighting in the north seems to have improved significantly. First, the Dukes of the Tulip defeated the fortified eastern fortress, and then the western front of General Al Payi attacked successfully. A series of news, large or small, made public opinion Filled with optimism.
In the past, for the vast majority of the people of the Roland Empire, no matter whether they were from the upper ranks or the civilians from the middle and lower ranks, they had never really considered those invading monster races as confidants. After all, the empire ’s national strength was here. .
The empire has the entire continent, a vast land, a large population, and human civilization is also in a relatively developed period. Under the leadership of the wise regent, the national strength is gradually recovering, and it has gradually got rid of Augustine VI. That kind of drowsy twilight.
For most people, it is just that the war in the north is a relatively large local war. Even more people think that those invading monster races may not be as threatening as the Northwest Prairie who has been fighting the Empire for decades.
And this time, Her Majesty Charlie went to the front line to toil the army in person, and the news spread that the optimism was overflowed to the top. Even the people believe that, if optimistic, the war might end tomorrow.
Because of the war, the empire's vigorously developed military industry, whether it is food, ordnance, etc., also greatly stimulated the productivity of the people.
After all, for a large empire with an entire continent, there is still a lot of potential to be tapped for national strength.
The official purchase of the imperial capital stimulated the great enthusiasm of the private chambers of commerce. For a time, Emperor Dili gathered some of the larger chambers of commerce in mainland China. Du rushed to the capital, trying to sharpen their heads in the Finance Department and the logistics department of the commander general to get in a way, and obtained a point of official purchase orders from the Empire.
During this time, the busiest people were undoubtedly promoted before the war and were the special ministers responsible for the supply of logistics supplies in the theater. Delan Mountain Warcraft that fat man.
The Delan Mountain Warcraft has been under the pressure of the Tulip family for several years before. Although everyone is very personal, and this fat man also understands the truth, knowing that the Duke of Tulips is popular, he ca n’t compete with each other. . But since the war, he was promoted by the line of fire. Relying on the power in his hand, a lot of war money was made, and the weapon industry in his family was fully capable of producing horsepower.
Private rankings in the imperial circle within the imperial capital, at least for the year this year, in the empire's wealth list, Delan Mountain Warcraft finally overwhelmed the Tulip family again. Although the fat man did not say anything on his mouth, he was not unhappy.
Of course, what the Deland Hills Warcraft doesn't know is that many of Dewey's industries are underground. Not exposed on the table.
To this day, the thunderous city is still as loud as usual, but suddenly, at noon, something unusual happened in the northern gate!
At noon, the city gate ground guards are meticulously inspecting the city defense clearance, and then suddenly, dust rises in the distance of the road. A team of cavalry rushed like a whirlwind!
This cavalry seems to be about three hundred riders, but under the rush, it seems to be arrogant, all the way over, even ignoring the newcomers and the team on the road, running quickly, even trampled!
Under the footsteps of the imperial capital. There was a moment of confusion.
The cavalry crashed into the gate? Is this ok?
The guards of the royal city guarding the city immediately stand by! But when the cavalry came closer. But it turned out that the number of opponents was just over a hundred, but only one or two riders. Seems to be a long journey. Hurrying along the way, bring more horses to change horses and maintain foot strength and speed.
This intense march is rare even in the army, let alone in a central area like the Imperial Capital.
The guards guarding the city are about to stop, but the other team's horse team is far away. The first few riders are at the front, and the banner is displayed at a distance!
The hands of several knights each hold different flags, namely: an emergency military information card in the northern theater! And ... a golden flag of thorns and flowers! !!
Seeing such a scene, the soldiers of the defensive city did not dare to stop it. Although this cavalry ran forward, they trampled many pedestrian convoys along the way, yelling and crying all the way, but these troops The soldiers quickly opened the gate of the city, armed with weapons, and scattered all the civilians queuing into the city under the gate!
This behavior, even if the people around are dissatisfied, they don't dare to shout about anything. The atmosphere becomes very tense for a while, as if foreshadowing something seems to happen!
This team of cavalry rushed under the gate like a whirlwind, without any stops, and rushed into the city like a gust of wind. The dust from the horseshoes flew all the way, and all the soldiers and civilians under the gate were destroyed A gray-headed face.
Moreover, this team of cavalry came from afar, although extremely exhausted, but immediately the knights were clearly among the elite! Although the formation of a team of cavalry is somewhat scattered, the killing spirit is obviously not an ordinary army rider!
After the team entered the city, the soldiers and civilians under the gate couldn't help but whispered: Is it that the military information in the north came back after such an urgent collision with the gate?
Are they winning the battle again?
Someone worries again suddenly: "Looking anxiously, it doesn't seem to be a victory, does it ..."
People immediately refuted: "Oh! There are heroes like Lord Duke Tulip on the front line, how can you defeat the battle!"
People talked about it, but the officer who defended the city had a complex look on his face!
This is a coincidence. The officer who guards the city is an old soldier. He guards the gate all year round. Just after the cavalry rushed in. He just saw it clearly. Among the riding team, surrounded by crowds, the innermost one was clearly a half-large boy in a robe! And although this boy had a fighting **** on his head, he just glanced at it just now, but he just saw the other person's face!
Yes ... Your Majesty? !!
What scared the officers was that His Majesty the Emperor was not toiling the army officers and soldiers in the north? So what happened. How come back so hastily?
On the square outside the imperial city, all the people on the street turned their backs, and that team of riders came almost brutal all the way to passers-by! Numerous injured people were trampled along the way, but this cavalry was extremely fast, and even the patrols of the surrounding police station did not respond and rushed to the Imperial City area!
The Royal Forest Guards guarding the square rushed forward, but then, after the cavalry stopped. The man in the middle came to the front, and the Yu Linjun who was greeted aggressively saw the people clearly, and immediately knelt down, shouting "Long live Your Majesty!" !!
Charlie's face was exhausted, and his physical strength was almost reaching the tipping point of collapse. He was only eleven years old. Running non-stop for days, even though he has received riding training since he was a child, but his physical strength is also extremely difficult to support!
But after the news reached the north, where did the little Charlie who was tying the army dare to delay a long time? Suddenly everything was left behind. Hurrying to take people all the way to the imperial capital!
There were thousands of cavalry along the way with him, but in order to maintain the motive, Charlie temporarily ordered some people to be left and let the horses out, keeping the number of three to four hundred people, at least three each. A horse is almost a long-distance Mercedes-Benz!
Although, there are court wizards accompanying him. Charlie was given a lot of magical secret drugs to force his energy. But such hard work also made this eleven-year-old boy almost fall.
At this moment, when he finally came to the gate of the palace, Charlie's first reaction was to look up at the flag on the wall of the imperial city, and there was nothing unusual about the golden thorn flower flag flying. And seeing the generals who guarded the imperial city, they were still dressed in armor, and there was no special service, so they were slightly relieved.
The sigh of relief from Ruori came loose. Charlie suddenly felt weak. At that time, he shook himself and fell backwards. People around were shocked. Two guards hurried to support him, Charlie shook his head hard, gritted his teeth and pushed others away, and whispered, "I can go by myself!"
Glancing again to welcome the officer of the Royal Army: "Quick! Take me into the city! I want to see my father! Immediately!"
All the way into the imperial city, Charlie even ignored the series of sharing bathing rituals that the emperor had to return to the palace, and nearly pushed the court ceremonial officers and court servants in front of him, let alone the court The waiter's guidance, even the leather armor on his body, and wearing riding boots, ran all the way!
Crossing the main hall, square, corridor, and entering the palace ground, all the way up, Charlie was surprised that what he saw was obviously at least three times more guarded in the court than before he left! !!
When you entered the Imperial City all the way, everything seemed to be normal in the city, and the number of shifts of the King City Guard did not increase. On the streets of the imperial capital, there were not many police patrols.
Even if it is a square outside the imperial city, the number of Royal Forest Army will not increase.
However, when I went inside the palace, especially all the way in, I saw that the Royal Forest Army was fully armed, and the palace gates, corridors and main points of the imperial city were all closely guarded!
The Royal Army soldiers look dignified one by one, just like the enemy! !!
This scene made Charlie, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, nervous again, and when she was nervous, she had a faint excitement in her eyes! !!
Finally, he rushed into the hall that he was familiar with, and even he didn't care about the outside waiter's notification. He straightened and rushed in. He is the emperor of the empire. Where can the princes outside stop dare to stop him, he can only let him rush into the hall alone ...
Here is the residence of Emperor Chen Chen, the actual master of the empire now! !!
Walking into the main hall, and immediately came face to face, there is a strong smell of medicine in the air. The taste is very complicated. It seems that I don't know how many flavors of medicinal materials are mixed together, which makes people feel suffocated.
The hall is sombre, on a large bed in the middle of the distance, and a faint figure lay weakly in the curtains around it. Around the big bed, several court magicians in red robes were standing silently.
And around, two red robe court mages. In the nervous preparation of magic potions, the court magician ran back and forth, holding a sheet of parchment in his hand, and did not know what the ancient potion formula or the like was recorded on.
In the curtain, there are two other figures sitting on the bed, one big and one small, a little bigger, naturally the Queen of the Regent. That's Charlie's mother. The smaller figure turned his head at this moment, glanced at Charlie here, his delicate face, and his own childish face. There was some unease in her eyes, and when she saw Charlie rushing forward, she felt relieved and stood up. Quickly called out: "Brother!"
Charlie was panicked and excited at the moment, and there was still a little bit of unclear expectation. He just nodded when he heard her sister's shout, but he already raised the curtain and rushed to the big bed with a look The person who fell on the bed couldn't help but stop ...
Imperial Land Regent. Prince Chen, lying quietly on the bed.
His face is almost pale, and there is no semi-gloss on his cheeks, even his lips can't see much blood! This look is obviously very sick!
Charlie couldn't help but look at it!
The man on the bed ... is he really the father who made himself awed?
The energetic, self-defeating father. At this moment, it seems that it has lost all its momentum. Lying almost helplessly.
The eyes that I used to awe are half closed. The breath was slight, as if he had lost his mind. The father had slender and powerful fingers, and he could not lay on the bed by the side of the bed ... Meiyu frowned gently, as if suffering from pain.
Charlie stayed for a long time, but felt a little pull around her lichen corner, looked down, but saw her sister Princess Karina is looking at himself, he just woke up and hurry up I fell on my knees and shouted, "Father! I, I am back!"
The wife of Emperor Chen, Queen of the Regency of the Empire, is a woman of grace and kindness. At this moment, she has tears on her face. She reached out and hugged Charlie, but she did not speak, but she cried.
When Charlie heard the cry, he didn't know what was happening in his heart, but he suddenly gave out a faint faintness ...
His intellect knows what happened!
Looking like this ... Father, it seems to be ...
A few days ago, Charlie, who was toiling the army on the northern front, suddenly got an urgent letter from the Imperial Palace! This letter was not sent by the Royal Forest Army, but was sent by a court magician to hurry! !!
There is not much to say in the letter, just a few words: Wang Weiwei! No country! Quick return! !!
Charlie, who saw this secret letter at that time, just felt something burst suddenly in his heart! I do n’t know what it ’s like, sad? tension? Agitation? look forward to?
It seems a little bit of every sense!
However, as a young and mature emperor, as a man who has already been ambitious about power, he immediately left everything behind, without any hesitation, took everyone, exhausted all means, and quickly returned to the emperor!
Father is critically ill!
If he dies! I have to rush back!
Otherwise, as soon as my father dies, he will not be in the capital ... God knows what will happen!
Although the domestic political situation is stable, the desire and ambition of power in his heart makes Charlie absolutely not allow even a slight threat!
Along the way, how many horses ran to death, the whole person got rid of the thunder, and couldn't care less!
At this moment, he was standing beside Prince Chen's bed, but Charlie seemed a little dazed again.
His father has always been the backbone of the Empire! Although he hated faintly, his father held all the power in his hands, but ... unconsciously, everything depended on him all the time!
But now. He fell, standing in front of the power at his fingertips, little Charlie, but could not help but give birth to a hint of panic.
Under the alternating impact of this feeling, he just stunned after one shout, and let the queen hold him in his arms, but the little emperor bit his lips. His eyes were staring at his father lying on the bed tightly. In that look, he could not tell what it was ...
Finally, the queen cried for a while and released Charlie. At this moment, Princess Karina spoke softly. Tell the story.
Karina's voice is a little hoarse, and she's obviously crying a lot, her eyes are red and swollen, and her cheeks are still tears.
While this little princess was twitching, she talked about the Emperor Chen's illness.
A few days ago. At a court meeting, the original body of Prince Chen seemed to be a little faint. But in that meeting, he still forcibly supported. At the meeting, he behaved as usual. Still the look of calmness and energy. There was even a fire on the Minister of Military Affairs, Camisiro, for the issue of the mobilization of frontier weaponry.
But as the meeting ended, Prince Chen came to the back, and immediately died!
Under the eyes of dozens of guards and servants around him, he suddenly fell silently! The surrounding people were shocked at that time, but then several court magicians caught up. Can not help but say, forcibly took away the Prince Chen, and brought directly to the residence in the palace.
The scene was a bit chaotic at the time, and the palace magician was in a hurry, and almost misunderstood with the Royal Forest Army.
Fortunately, Prince Chen later woke up for a moment, and personally ordered the Yulin Army to stay outside. And his own condition. Leave it to the court magician to handle it, and no one else can intervene! Even his residence hall. Nor is any Royal Army allowed to enter! It can be seen that Prince Chen deeply trusted the court magician!
The palace magician has been busy for a day and after the rescue, but Prince Chen has been half-consciously awake. He is in a coma most of the time, but only occasionally wakes up for a moment, but will soon comatose again.
Later, the queen and the little princess came to guard before coming to the hospital bed. With the arrival of the queen, although the custom of the royal family, whether it is the queen or the queen, will not intervene in government affairs, but after all, the queen is the wife of Emperor Chen and has her. The arrival of presiding over the overall situation has also made everyone feel at ease.
Unfortunately, although the queen is graceful and generous, she is not a woman of great wisdom, but she is a little confused in the face of such a crisis.
At this time, it was the little princess Karina who stood up. She calmed down her mother's emotions first, and then passed on the orders one by one through the mouth of the queen!
Her first order was to summon Charlie back as fast as possible! Because it seems that Prince Chen's condition is in crisis. Once it is unexpected, the empire will soon face power change! At such times, Charlie must not be away!
The second order is a series of moves to the Imperial Forest!
Karina ordered that this matter must be kept strictly confidential! On that day, all 46 guards and servants who had fainted with Prince Chen were temporarily locked up. Karina was still a child after all, although she was smart, but she was soft-hearted after all. If this kind of thing is changed to another mature and ruthless politician, I am afraid that for the sake of temporary secrecy, all have been ordered to kill! !!
Subsequently, the mobilization of the Imperial Army was also tightly confined to the Imperial City! Karina's political sense of smell is far better than others. Although she is young, she knows who the enemy of the royal land is! At this moment, stability is the most important!
Until Charlie, the legal heir of the empire, returns, you ca n’t tell the story, otherwise, some ambitions will inevitably make a ghost! Especially ... the temple!
So, there is not much transfer to the Imperial City Guards, not even the Imperial Public Security Station. The principle of Karina is simple in four words: tight inside and tight inside!
At this moment, looking at some dazed brother, Karina wiped her eyes vigorously, took a deep look at her mother, and pulled Charlie aside, and said, "Brother, this is not the time to panic! Everyone Wait for you to preside over the big picture! Although I made some arrangements, after all, you are the emperor of the empire, and your order is justified! There are still a few important things to do at this moment! "
Charlie was a bit messy, and he couldn't help but asked his sister, who was two years younger than himself, "I ... what should I do?"
Karina sighed, frowned secretly, and took a deep look at her brother. In that look, she didn't know what it meant, but she finally spoke slowly ...
