Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!
Marlene stands in front of the window, staring at the beautiful, golden city shining in front of its eyes. But at the moment, the girl ’s thoughts drifted to the far south of the sea. She still remembers the sun shining on the blue water, with a smell of breath, and there was no half-silk in the sky, and the huge Magical Fleet slowly moved to block it. In the light of the sun in the sky, a few ray of light smoke could be seen rising up in the harbor city, and the faint sounds and wailing from a distance could be heard faintly.
The battle is over.
After nearly half a year, this farce is finally coming to an end in late autumn. When the breath of cold winter is coming, it is like the withered and fallen leaves on the ground. It is completely over. Reformist's independence is like a farce. Now, this farce is finally coming to an end. After Southern Parliament Parliament Elder committed suicide by taking poison, Reformist finally collapsed completely, and Reformist after losing his main heart was completely in a panic, I don't know what to do. The civil strife also began to emerge at this time after the —— Royal Fleet blockade of Southern Harbor. The entire southern region has been almost completely paralyzed, and Southern Parliament finally felt unprecedented fear and pressure. Old Parliament Elder died, but he walked easily. Just throwing his hands on the road alone, anyway, anyway, it can be saved from the fate of being hanged in Golden City. But others did not have such good luck. The Southern Harbor was blocked, and no ships could enter or leave. The battle on the front was tense and the rear was unstable. Those barbarian were almost going deep into the southern hinterland. For a time, the core personnel of Reformist were anxious, and there was no way out, and the appearance of Magical Fleet also marked their craving that the Parliament of light could send someone to help themselves. So now either they choose to surrender, or they rush to those barbarian sites, or cross the border to enter Dragon of Darkness Kingdom.
But for Reformist members, all three options are dead.
They know how cruel Lydia is. In this respect, you ca n’t see that she should be a kind, fair and glorious Archangel Leader. In fact, many times people think that Lydia is very correct, that is, Lydia does have " "Tyrant" factor, she is eager to enjoy, likes a big and lively banquet, for anyone who dares to resist herself will take irony and **** suppression, cold and ruthless, even humans may be difficult to do this step, but Lydia did .
That's why these Reformist would rather bit down hard dying and not willing to give up. They knew that once they surrendered, the only thing waiting for them was to go to the gallows. Of course, Lydia wouldn't be like a certain king in ancient times, but she would also not be a "just catch the principal and follow the crime", don't worry, everyone has a share.
Because of their knowledge of Lydia, Reformist ’s core members will not agree to surrender if they are killed.
But the other two options are still a dead end for them.
barbarian wasteland, but Order has not yet shrouded, the people there are the same, brutal, cruel, they only recognize strength, other than they do n’t care about anything, no matter how many Highland places you have in Moon, how much wealth, for them It does n’t make sense to say anything, let alone that Power of Order is very weak, just like Rhodes' Land of Redemption, just because the borderline Order near the Dragon Soul junction has become extremely unstable, even the day and night are chaotic. And those places where Order has not been shrouded are even more terrible, ordinary person is simply impossible to survive in that kind of place.
And Dragon of the Dark Night Kingdom is not a good choice.
As we all know, it is the country of undead, and the status of the living there is very low, although it is said that the existence of "Master" Garcia in Four Demon Generals has improved the status of human beings. But that is only limited to a part of human beings. In Dragon of the Dark Night Kingdom, most human beings are either slaves or food for Blood Clan. So even if they cross the border safely, it won't be much better in the end.
And what makes Reformist desperate is that although the relationship between Dragon of the Dark Night Kingdom and Dragon of Light Kingdom is very poor, their relationship with Moon Dukedom is not bad. If Lydia asks Dragon of the Dark Night Kingdom to hand over the people, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be sent back!
Either it becomes a corpse, or it becomes a slave and then waits to become a corpse. It is just the difference between the death penalty and the death sentence. For Reformist, the difference is not much ——— because they have no possibility of appealing simply.
So now they can only drag, and it can be a day.
But they have forgotten one thing, that is, human nature is selfish. They can care for their drunken lives and dream of a day without caring about the lives of others, and other people will naturally care about their lives for their own lives. .
In Reformist, the members of core are after all a minority, but most people are not willing to accompany them to wait for death. Before Old Parliament Elder was there, they did not dare to be too presumptuous. But now, Old Parliament Elder committed suicide by taking drugs, and these people suddenly became tough. They even felt that Old Parliament Elder's choice to commit suicide already means that this is all over and they have no hope of winning! If you do not choose to surrender now, then there is really only one way to go!
Because of this, in the end, civil unrest broke out within Reformist.
"A small group of stubbornly resisting core elements" didn't play any role in front of "the vast ocean of the people". Not only that, those who "sell teammates" were even good at advocating the release of originally and being detained by Reformist. Southern Legion before Legion Commander, and until this time, Reformist's so-called southern independence has also come to an end completely.
There is nothing to say at all. The Southern Legion stationed in Calentes City began to become confused after hearing the news of suicide of Old President. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Royalist army suddenly bypassed Calentes from behind and cut off again. The Calentes supply line made Southern Legion completely a turtle in the urn. After three consecutive breakouts, the Calentes defender announced the surrender, and then the Royalist army raised the flag south. The already exhausted Reformist this time even symbolic resistance If he didn't do it, he raised his hand and surrendered.
Marlene still remembers everything she saw when she walked into Southern Harbor. She had also been to Southern Harbor before. At that time, in the impression of Marlene, it was a clean, tidy and beautiful city. Pedestrians on the street, dressed in bright clothes, whispered and politely, raised their heads proudly and proudly, as if full of endless hope for tomorrow and the future. I have to say that those southerners were indeed qualified to despise those northerners who came from the bitter cold of the north and wore clothes made of coarse fur, and spoke aloudly.
But this time, she saw a completely different scene.
originally ’s clean and tidy streets become filthy, with corpses of people and animals everywhere, and odors of corpses are sent from the streets and alleys, even in the beautiful, blue bay, you can see a lot Blistered body. Those people who were dressed brightly in the past are now in ragged clothes and hiding in their own homes with thin skin and yellow skin, secretly watching the Royalist army enter their city through the door gap, and those originally neat and beautiful houses are also because no one is taking care of them. , Plus the previous storm *, makes a originally beautiful city look like a beggar den.
What a tragedy.
Thinking of this, Marlene closes the eyes, cleans up the unpleasant scenes in my mind. If it is Leiya's, maybe I will sympathize with those poor people. But Marlene will not. She doesn't think those people deserve sympathy. This is their choice, and they have paid a price for it. As for whether the price is a bit high, then it is not within the scope of Marlene.
After that, Lydia also showed a strong side, and in just two days, she arrested all Reformist core character and put them in the dungeon, waiting for trial and execution. In addition to this, in the face of these rebel parties this time, the punishment of Lydia is extremely serious. She confiscated the property and wealth of all Reformist members and at the same time beat them back to civilian status. In addition to the poor hanged worms, other people will also have different levels of punishment. Some people will make up for it, and the punishment will be lighter, and some will be heavier. Of course, this weight is only relative.
For Reformist, Lydia ’s hand is not vicious enough, because this time almost all of the people who participated in the rebellion were Noble and businessmen. They all have a lot of industry and wealth in the south. Otherwise, these people There can be no courage to fight against Royalist.
And Lydia has done so, almost emptied the entire southern business and Noble circle, which is completely for the Reformist, because it also means that they will not have enough energy and strength in the future. Come and compete with Royalist.
If you change normally, this approach of Lydia will definitely arouse many people ’s opposition and protest, because the practice of Lydia is not just to reap the foundation of Reformist, so many industries, Business Association are all Someone took care of it, and now all of them are confiscated by Royalist, which means that those who work for the Reformist industry will also be affected. If you change your usual time, I'm afraid it has already begun to protest.
But now, after the Lydia made this decision, those southerners who were originally high and mighty accepted the arrangement silently like a defeated cock. They are like flowers in the greenhouse. Now, when Lydia breaks the glass of the greenhouse, these delicate flowers are completely exposed to the wind and rain, and after the storm, the originally blooming flowers finally wilted completely. The harsh reality broke their romance about war, and let them clearly understand that war is not just the glories and cry of freedom in imagination, but the path of death and destruction. And they stupidly chose such a path.
"Marlene eldest young miss."
Just when Marlene was fascinated, suddenly, a voice came from behind her, which caused Marlene to quickly converge her thoughts. She turned around, and then saw her close maid standing behind her. She looked at her respectfully.
"It's almost time for the banquet ..."
"I know, I will change my clothes now."
After finishing this sentence, Marlene glanced at the peaceful, peaceful and serene scenery of Golden City outside the window, and then she turned around without the slightest hesitation and entered the room.
Rhodes walked off the carriage, staring at the tall, majestic castle shining in golden glory, whistled of can't help but.
After awakening Graciel and Madaras, Rhodes did not immediately return to Land of Redemption, because at this time, Vivian told him that Royal Family sent an invitation letter inviting Rhodes to attend the grand banquet to be held in Golden City. Although Rhodes had been busy with two short swords before, and did not pay much attention to the battle between Royalist and Reformist, when informed of this news, Rhodes had already determined that Reformist was completely finished. And the facts are exactly as expected by Rhodes.
The so-called tyrants are divided into fields. Now that the local tyrants have finished playing, then naturally it is time to divide the fields. Lydia hollowed out the foundations of the entire South, that is the position of hundreds of Noble and Business Association, not to mention the large-scale cleaning and reconstruction of the Southern Legion and the sea fleet after this battle, such a big piece of cake is placed in front of everyone It is impossible to say that nobody's heart is moving. And Rhodes is also very clear, this time Lydia held a grand banquet, on the surface it seems to celebrate the victory of the civil war against Reformist, in fact, it does not mean that there is no cake in it.
Because of this, after leaving Forest of the Elves, Rhodes took Anne and Leiya directly to Golden City and came to participate in this victory feast. But this time, he was surrounded by an uninvited guest.
"This is Golden City ............"
Corinna walked off the carriage, the two eyes opened slightly, looked at the majestic castle in front of them in surprise, and whispered to themselves.
After hearing Corinna's words, Rhodes didn't say anything. He just turned his head and looked at Corinna, and then quickly returned his gaze.
The joining of Corinna is totally an accident/surprise for Rhodes. In fact, when he said good-bye to Elf Queen Your Majesty, Elf Queen would actually ask him to let Corinna go to Land of Redemption, where he would travel. Frankly speaking, when Rhodes heard this request from Elf Queen, he was very surprised.
Rhodes of course knows that young Spirit/Elf will travel abroad, and sometimes they will also assume some obligations, such as Solagang Mountain Region before Corinna, which is the representative of Kingdom of Law, but now that Solagang Mountain Region is gone, Corinna ’s representative position is naturally gone . But Rhodes did not expect that Elf Queen would actually want to send Corinna to Land of Redemption!
Of course, on the surface, the reason given by Elf Queen is that you want to observe the impact left after Demon Grand Duke died, but Rhodes knows that this can only be used to coax children, if you really want to observe the death of Demon Grand Duke Influence, why didn't you send her before, but still have to run Forest of the Elves by yourself? Rhodes is not clear why Elf Queen made this decision, but for this decision he gave both hands in favor of ——— because Rhodes is very clear, not too long, the war between Dragon of the Dark Night Kingdom and Kingdom of Light will begin, and his own Land of Redemption is definitely on the front line One, by that time, Corinna was helping in Fortress, maybe it was able to pull Kingdom of Law into the water, which not only strengthened its own strength, but also let the enemy throw the mouse away. How could Rhodes let go of such a good thing? What's more, Rhodes is well aware of the talent ability of Corinna, but it is a precise mobile firepower turret. If you have the help of Corinna, then you will obviously be easier to defend Fortress.
In fact, strictly speaking, letting Corinna follow you is not a good thing. Rhodes is very clear that his behavior style is incompatible with the culture of Spirit/Elf. If Corinna can accept his own approach, hell. But now he is too lazy to bother with so much. Anyway, at most it takes only one year. The real war is about to start. As long as you do n’t overdo it before, make Corinna dissatisfied with then it will be alright ———. Anyway, Rhodes is very good at disguising. Times.
But now, Rhodes is not paying attention to the Corinna around him. On the contrary, he turned his head and looked at the Golden Castle in front of him, but in his heart was can't help but thinking of ——— Marlene, a person who had not seen for a long time.
Strictly speaking, Marlene is the first woman Rhodes has after coming to this world (Canary can't be counted as a matter of course). They all say that first love is unforgettable. In fact, the first night is almost the same. Rhodes is naturally impossible to forget Marlene, not to mention that the other party ’s time to follow him is not long, but the effect on the development of Starlight Guild is not less than that of Rhodes. It can be said that without Marlene, I am afraid that the current Starlight Guild cannot Develop in an orderly manner.
But Rhodes is well aware that Marlene cannot stay with Starlight Guild as his deputy. She is the only heir of Shenia Family, and in this civil war, compared with her person who has been in the sideline supporter except for sneak attacking the enemy's rear, Marlene's performance can be said to be very eye-catching. Not only did she lead her magical troops one after another Resisted the offensive of Reformist, even in the battle of late-stage surrounded by Calentes City, Marlene made a considerable contribution when cooperated with the encircling circle to prevent the Calentes defender from breaking through ———. Of course, this does not mean that Marlene ’s military talent and tactical literacy How high is it, but in these days of acting together with Rhodes, the girl ’s understanding and mastery of magic has indeed made rapid progress, and because of this, Marlene can perform so well in this civil war .
Because of her outstanding performance, Marlene has now removed the hat of "the rare magic genius in a century," and is officially recognized as a "young and powerful Mage" by many people. It can be said that after so many years of hard work, she finally turned right.
On the way to Golden City, Rhodes also heard a lot of rumors about Marlene, especially this time she performed well, and there are many rumors surrounding this excellent girl. There are rumors that she will join Court Mage Guard as a deputy to Almond Grand Mage, and may even become the first Court Grand Mage. There are also rumors that she may gain a new territory and have an honorable and noble title.
These Rhodes are very clear, Marlene is also qualified to get these, she is different from herself, she is origin famous, and has always been concerned, so it is not surprising that this kind of natural result is now. Because everyone knows that she is the heir of Shenia Family, a rare magic genius in a century, the foundation is here, as long as Marlene works hard, then she will surely have results. But he is different, no matter how dazzling his performance, after all, he suddenly appeared in front of everyone in a short time, so Nobles is always a little more wary and doubtful about himself than Marlene. Just like the title Lydia gave him before, it was because of this consideration that Rhodes was given a Noble title of lowest level. If you change to Marlene, I am afraid that at least an Earl cannot run away.
It's just that Rhodes is still a little bit reluctant.
Perhaps Marlene ’s feelings for itself will not change, but who knows? When she left guild, the time for the two parties to meet would be reduced. The distance is the enemy of love. According to Rhodes' experience, even Marlene still likes herself. But after that, because the two sides are difficult to meet for various reasons, that feeling will become dull. Not to mention that at Rhodes' side is actually not lacking in women. The final result is mostly a simple separation between the two sides. Marlene may find a married person to continue the family and may not marry. But no matter what, it has nothing to do with Rhodes.
When I think of this very likely future, Rhodes is very upset. He has always robbed women with others, and has never lost ... Is this the rhythm to lose now?
Rhodes does n’t know what his mood is now. In all fairness, he is happy with the growth and achievements of Marlene, but when he thinks that Marlene will leave Starlight and leave himself, the two of them may meet rarely in the future Then he was not so happy.
It ’s just ...............
Thinking of this, Rhodes can't help but sighed helplessly and put this annoying thing behind his head.
Do n’t think about this unpleasant future, at least for now, he will see Marlene soon. RS
