In the 202nd year of the Gregorian calendar, the Holy Alliance Empire suffered the most severe blow it has ever made. 200 years ago, the Bird-Fernando, who built this powerful empire on one hand, did not expect any embarrassing scene today.
His Majesty the King was assassinated, the imperial government minister's abrupt rebellion, the northern defense of the Thunder God fortress was captured by the orcs, the Clay rebellion in the South Taren grassland, the southern lord was about to move and even the royal tomb was emptied, leaving countless holes Tombs, fortunately, the mausoleums of His Majesty Kings have been protected by a powerful magic circle, which only escaped the disaster, but the remains of almost all the holy knights of the empire have been stolen in the past 200 years.
General Orlando never understood why some people would steal graves and dig graves. The holy knights had no burial after death, but a body shroud wrapped the body and buried it, but they stole those bodies and disturbed them. What is the purpose of the rest of the dead?
Orlando ca n’t figure out the reason no matter what he thinks. He does n’t have time to think about this anymore. What has happened is that there is no way to change it. However, despite the critical situation of the Empire, in this Royal Chamber, those Officials are still arguing loudly about who should inherit the throne. Without the orders of His Majesty the Emperor, many things in the empire can only be dragged on, but these officials do not care at all. They only care about their own interests. As for this country, And the people of the empire are just tools for their interests.
Luke walked over to Orlando who was sitting in the corner and patted the latter's shoulder gently. Orlando looked up at Luke suspiciously. Luke made a gesture and motioned him to come out with himself. The two walked out of the hustle and bustle of the Royal Chamber one after the other and came to a secluded side hall.
This side hall is not very big. There are at most twenty steps from one end to the other. It is Luke's place to deal with official duties. He has long abandoned the group of **** who are still arguing and changed to work here. The layout of the partial hall is very simple. A table, two chairs, and a bookcase are densely packed with various documents and materials.
"Sit!" Luke pointed his finger at a chair, then poured a glass of water and passed it. Orlando nodded his thanks slightly, then took the glass and sat in a chair. Luke sat in another chair and poured himself a glass of water.
"Since His Majesty's death, I have quit drinking." Luke said lightly: "There are too many things, but there is no time and mood for wine tasting. Man, it's really contradictory. When you have time, you taste the best Bordeaux but always I feel empty in my heart, and I wish I could do something. When you are busy, why do you want to feel like doing nothing? "
There are only Orlando and Luke in this partial hall. Orlando changed his confident face in front of him and sighed a long time: "The situation is critical, but this group of **** are still arguing endlessly. Do n’t you know the orcs in the north? We have obtained the materials we have hoarded in the Thunderlord Fortress and will soon be armed. The orcs originally had a single strong military force and have undergone rigorous training. Now their equipment is comparable to that of our human beings. How is this Terrible power. "
Luke still has an indifferent look: "Orlando, many things you can change, why?"
Orlando waved his hand vigorously, preventing Luke from continuing to say: "Don't talk anymore, that thing is impossible!"
"Why?" Luke said with a hint of anxiety: "The northern Clan and the orcs collused together. The South Taren Grassland no longer belongs to the empire. The southern lords are about to move. According to reliable information, they are likely to be ready to leave the empire. It ’s just that I do n’t want to be the first to stand up. Look at that group of bastards, idiots, and pigs. Sorry, I should n’t use pigs to describe them. Although pigs look dirty Dirty, but far less than this group of guys in my heart! "
Orlando shook his head and said: "I know what you mean, but I can't do that. The army is the sharpest weapon of the empire, but this weapon must not have its own mind. The invasion of foreign enemies, we can run them away, those lords have We can deter them, but once I mobilize the army to forcibly suppress these officials and control the imperial power with you, it will set a very bad precedent for future generations. The internal and external difficulties may not be every year, but the army must always be existing!"
"Then sit and watch the empire slowly decline under the debate of this group of hybrids?" Luke's words were ridiculous: "General Orlando, you really strictly abide by your oath, hey, always loyal Fernando family, as long as the Fernando family does not die, what does this empire do with you? "
Orlando looked embarrassed, he said distressedly: "Okay, Luke. If you say this can make the empire better, let's talk about it every day. Now the top priority is to rectify the army and prepare for the war. The orc cannot fail to come. Attacking the imperial capital, we must fight this battle, and we must win, otherwise "
"Win?" Luke smiled contemptuously: "The city of Fernando is known to have a population of 10 million. In fact, it refers to the area where the entire city of Fernando belongs. This is only a city like Fernando within a thousand miles. Shrunken in this city. The population of the entire Fernando City area is more than 8 million. Do you think they will die outside the city? Now more than 200,000 people flock to the city every day, and those orcs are not used at all, as long as these mouths can be destroyed Lost this city. "
"The only solution is to issue a decree by His Majesty the King to forcibly collect materials from various farms and pastures outside the city, and then distribute them uniformly, and destroy all visible food, shelter, and water sources outside the city. It is almost autumn, if Without His Majesty's order, do you think those nobles and civilians will let you move the food they harvest immediately? And those nobles have many private soldiers in their hands, and they must be recruited by His Majesty's order. They must be called together to form a reserve legion. Orlando, so many things, must have His Majesty ’s orders, otherwise even if I am the Minister of Finance of the Empire, as long as I do anything, I can be treated as a rebellion! "
Orlando heard Luke saying "treason", and a strange expression suddenly appeared on his face. He suddenly said: "What happened that night? Your majesty was assassinated, and Chad rebelled again. From common sense Said, Chad is already in the position of one person, how could he make these meaningless moves? And, since Chad has a rebellious intention, Luke, why did you finally stand in this position? "
Luke said unpleasantly: "Do you doubt me? Don't you believe my person?"
Orlando looked at Luke and said, "People, always change. Too many things happened that night is too unreasonable. Isn't it doubtful? The most important point is that all the benefits are finally obtained by you. That night, you held the military power, and the places where the nobles lived were looted. I am afraid that Chad ’s defeated soldiers have not yet had such great power? And, now that this group of **** are arguing, I am afraid it is also the result of your indulgence? You You should have mastered the situation of the imperial capital in a quiet manner, why did you have to pull me, you now appoint a successor of the king out, those guys can only talk about it, and they have no power to oppose it. , Can't you justify what you just said in the name of your new majesty? "
Luke was told everything by Orlando, and his face suddenly turned red, and then he said right again: "Orlando, I can swear! Your majesty's death has nothing to do with me! As for the situation at hand, it's true that it was caused by me pushing behind , But I do n’t care about the high throne, I just want to do something for the people of the empire without being constrained. But once I launch a new king, everything is no longer the case. The new king is young, I will inevitably bear the charge of controlling the North Korean government. When the new king grows up, how will you let me be at home? Even if I give up power, my wings will be plump at that time, and my men will refuse! If the king is over 30 years old and can be crowned immediately, how does it look like the previous situation where His Majesty was finger-drawn! "
"But your joining is not the same. You are the head of the Royal Knights and the highest military commander of the imperial capital. You have the military power of the empire and can restrict me in name. In fact, you simply do not ask government affairs. Just let me show my hands and feet. Orlando, I owe Sophie a lot, I am too late to make up, and will definitely not do anything to harm her. As long as the two of us join forces, in the short term, we can concentrate on resisting the orcs, from the long term In other words, this empire will be governed well. I do n’t have a son. Even if I am ambitious, who can I pass it on? Besides, do n’t you always help me and supervise me? ”
Luke's wide eyes stared at Orlando, and Orlando bowed his head in silence. Luke's words did make sense, but the decree of the empire, and the oath when he became a holy knight, but let Orlando Helpless.
The whole side hall fell into a strange tranquility.
After a long time, there was a rush of footsteps in the distance. The footsteps moved from far to near, and soon came outside the hall. The man shouted loudly outside the door: "Report, urgent document!" Orlando looked up at Luke, and Luke shouted loudly, "Come in!"
The side hall door was pushed open, and two royal guards walked in with a civilian dressed man. The civilian dressed man was covered in blood and his clothes were ragged, and he looked very haggard. Orlando was shocked when he saw this man, because he knew this civilian dressed man. He was the captain of a cavalry unit in Sunrise City, whose name was Donald. He had visited the capital three years ago.
