Chapter Ninety-Four: Ember

Since that meeting, Alan's life in the Beihai Royal Court has really reached a peak in his life.

Even during that time, he suffered from insomnia, as if he closed his eyes, and all the happy life would dissipate like a bubble.

Because the princess and Alan were similar in age, the Reformed members agreed that it was up to Alan to try to "contact" the Orlov daughter so that she could cooperate with the Reformed plan.

In this way, although Alan was nominally a guard, he was in fact like a "prince" in the court, and the eyes of the Reformed brothers were all over the kingdom, and they constantly tried to arrange opportunities for Alan to have contact with the princess and even be alone, while Alan's own work was taken care of by the attendants who were also loyal to the Reformed Order.

In this way, Alan and Helena developed into lovers.

And the Reformed people seem to be happy to see it, not only not stopping Alan's actions, but even fueling the situation from the side.

First, he is indeed a pleasant young man, he is quite handsome, and his personality is even more lively and gregarious, after getting rid of the boring basic work, Alan taught himself almost all the knowledge in the Beihai Palace, which made the people around him recognize that he is a real shadow leader", and willingly served him.

Another important reason is this.

No matter how suitable the princess is, sooner or later she will have to marry, even if she is the perfect ruler herself, but if she comes to the throne and has a husband, will it not make all the efforts of the Reformed Church in vain?

And people like Alan are naturally not a threat. No matter how good he is, he is just a commoner, a commoner, even if he is pushed to the position of a ruler, he will not become a climate.

At that time, all the great nobles would not breathe out of his nostrils, and he really wanted to grasp the government in time at that time, and all he could rely on was the support of the Reformed Church.

But at the time, Alan had not thought of this at all. In accordance with the requirements of the organization, he injected the general views of "empire" and "great Pruus" into the thoughts of the princess little by little, until these ideas had become part of the princess.

It's like a part of his own thoughts.

His sweet words not only made the princess sympathetic to the Reformed Society, but more importantly, she also gave birth to an infinite yearning for the empire.

As the Reformed people had anticipated, the princess herself had no strong desire or demand for power. She's smart enough that she'll get rid of those things herself.

If the princess had had this idea after Ollov's death, the reformation would have been in favor of it with both hands and feet.

But the princess moved her heart before Ollov's death.

Four years ago, Alan was expelled from the North Sea Kingdom, and Orlof intended to execute him, but in the end, he escaped from the palace with the help of several guards.

He ended up being a traitor to two big powers, and he wanted to take the princess and daughter, elope, and live their own lives.

And this is destined to be intolerated.

At that time, Ailan had already been blinded by his superficial "omnipotence", and after simply arranging a few "his own people" to make a plan, he led the princess to move.

They were originally going to take a carriage to the south, the merchant was very profitable, and a few gold coins could tell him to shut up obediently, and after the carriage carried them out of the city, it was naturally a wide sea, and the trapped beasts were out of the cage, and they were the only ones who managed it.

Pitiful, lamentable.

Alan didn't even take his Helena out of the palace garden before she was captured.

After breaking away from the organization, the palace, which originally seemed to be extremely negligent in defense and surveillance, was simply an impermeable place, and he was arrested by the guards at the slightest hint of trouble.

Before leaving, under pressure to let his guards go, Alan had vowed never to return to the city, and if he did, he would risk his life.

The man who let Alan go was a veteran, he looked gray, but his face was not real, and it was late at night, and Alan was so confused that he couldn't remember what he looked like.

Eight years after leaving the royal court, Alan suffered a lot, and he first worked as a partner for merchants, for three years in a row.

Every salary the merchant paid to Alan, he saved it neatly, ready to buy and sell himself when the time came, and then he could earn more money.

In this era, the so-called business operation is nothing more than buying high and selling low, relying mainly on experience and courage, as well as knowledge. Even the ability to judge the current situation is secondary.

These are all things that the merchant told Ellan when he was drunk, and Ellan could understand how to make money in business, but he couldn't understand the last words of the merchant.

It was for this reason that when Alan made up his mind to leave the caravan and go into business on his own, the merchant threw a banquet for him to bid him off as a capable fellow.

Alan didn't know why, he couldn't see what kind of character his boss was, and he was finally sold to a manor the next morning, not only lost his wages, but also sold his freedom into a shiny imperial gold coin.

Of course, Alan is Alan after all. Even if the person is sold, he still tries to find a chance for himself to escape the ascension.

It was the rivalry between the owners of the manor that saved his life.

It was also a gambling experience, relying on good popularity, he instigated a defection of serfs, but it was on the farm next door. The lord on the other side could not bear to see the farmland go to waste, so he bought a group of slaves from his previous lord of the manor who did not work very well, and placed them in his castle Zheng

With his skillful court experience, Ailan naturally quickly became popular again.

It wasn't until the Northern Expedition came again that he saw an opportunity, so he put down his identity as the castle steward and quietly blended into the ranks of the citizens, mixing in with the position of a cart manager.

Even if he hadn't been chosen by Parude, Alan himself would have at least been able to get a piece of his own land in the newly conquered lands and talk to the long-awaited freedom.

But fate is impermanent. When he was coerced back to the city by the knight's sword, he found that it was not as good as it had been.

The Imperial army was approaching the city, and King Orlov had no plan of his own.

Such a good opportunity, how could he give it up, even if it was to gamble his life, Alan would definitely give it a try.

Back in the royal court, Alan once again followed the path he had once again to the territory of the Reformed faction, and although he had been a sinner in the faction, he had now climbed to the status of the Knight Messenger of the Scaly Nation, and with this new face, he did not worry about the Catholics turning him away.

What he didn't expect was that the Reformed faction at this moment fell into a long period of chaos and decline after he left, and a large number of core personnel were sent back to their own territory, or were brutally executed.

When they heard the news that the Imperial army was about to pass by Sea Castle, they thought that this was a rare "big opportunity", so they traveled to Ailan, joined forces with the outside, and carried out a subversive movement in the Northland.

Alan himself is unwilling, in addition to planning to help Parud open the joint, he just wants to see his "Bailing" one last time, which can be regarded as the end of the previous grudge.

But his move made those people mistaken.

The Reformed Church was immediately gathered, and before Alan could react, they were already arming hundreds of people.

And it's naturally too late to turn back at this moment.

It was precisely because the armed actions of the Reformed Church had stimulated Orlov's poor nerves that he did not care to kill the messenger of the Scaly Nation in front of the public.

At the time of Parud's execution, Alan happened to arrive outside the door of the main hall.

The knight raised his glass of venom as if to salute Alan.

"By this cup, I have resolved my allegiance to the Empire. ”

With that, he craned his neck and drank the liquid in one gulp.

And the axeman, who was standing aside, also raised the blade in his hand and cut off the knight's head without hesitation.

Alan turned around, only to see his brothers in full gear, and the beautiful girl, looking at him with a pair of watery eyes.

She was just as old as she had been, but with a little more maturity, just as her father had given her a name.

Helena, the goddess from the sea.

And he Ailan.

Ailan's face added a little wry smile, the past time greatly destroyed his appearance, if he is not familiar with it, he is now living like half a slave in the army, if he quietly looks like himself in front of the clear lake, I am afraid that he will not dare to recognize himself.

Perhaps, this is the meaning of the old saying in the Northland.

"No mortal can escape eternal life. ”

From the moment he first proposed in the church that a princess could also be on the throne, to this day is where all his fate in this life lies, and it is not something that human beings can compete with, this is the truest meaning of the parable.

No matter how hard he tries, he can't escape his fate.

However, as things stand, this is not always the worst outcome.

The throne of Beihai has always haunted him, but a fire of General Nonnuo has burned it clean, leaving him with only a temporary position of "governor", and from this point of view, he can be called lucky.

What's more, he still has a beautiful woman as his company, which is much better than the two young and vigorous generals who have no one to accompany him......

After a few thoughts, Alan was dumbfounded to realize that he had already turned around several times before the accommodation, and even the guards who followed him showed a somewhat confused expression on their faces.

"Your Excellency, do you have any other arrangements?"

Alan didn't know where to start, so he shook his head silently and pushed the threshold in front of him.

It's another night of wind and fluttering, and there is no sorrow in life.

The Empire's army took the sea castle with a wave of its army, and the chiefs of the Wegenrao tribe finally began to act as if they had just woken up from a dream.

They didn't know the process of the empire taking the North Sea Kingdom, only that the empire's army had only arrived for a while, and a fire broke out in the sea castle.

A few Wiegand villagers found several Great Pruss who had come out of the ground, claiming to be the squires of the North Sea Kingdom, who had fled here for refuge.

The closest swamp to Sea Castle is called the Woodside Swamp, which has been the meeting place of a dozen Wiegand tribe alliances many times, but since the Hokukami a few years ago, this once thriving swamp has begun to become deserted.

The chiefs of the big families were either killed in battle or fled to the deeper swamps, where the conditions were harsher and the inhabitants were more savage, making it more difficult to survive from there.

A few of the narrowly escaped generals gathered some refugees and founded new tribes on the swamp, where they once again planted simple root crops in the slaughtered tribal colony in the hope of a good harvest.

These Wigan tribes were probably the least aggressive of the Wiegand people, and the flesh and blood of them had long since been lost, leaving only tribeamen who wanted to be honest in farming and hunting.

These people who survived on the edge of the two civilizations surveyed north with worried eyes, in case their former masters suddenly jumped out to settle their own mistakes, and on the other hand, they looked at the south with fearful eyes, fearing that these southerners would not know when they would go crazy again, go north again, and burn down the farms they had not easily planted.

"General, you should call on your compatriots to the north to resist the tyrant's army, our Duke Longbeard, Duke Notoki, and Viscount Arsa will not be truly obedient, and when the time comes, our North Sea Kingdom can share the plains of the North Sea with the warriors of Wegenrao. ”

If this squire who escaped from the North Sea had said this ten years ago, the mouth of the weigand tribal leader in front of him would probably have been crooked with a smile, and the old enemy of the south would have opened the door to help the thieves, how could they easily let it go of such a good thing in front of them?

But the situation can be moved.

While the attendants burst into tears and showed that they were going to die with the emperor of the south, the leader of the Weygenrao tribe was worried that this was just a conspiracy in the south.

Unable to take such a huge risk alone, Kabinska wrinkled his low, narrow forehead several times in succession after listening to the accounts of several large Prusian attendants, and finally gave orders to the few warriors under him.

"Lock them up. Just put it with those pigs, just starve to death!"

It's a joke, to bring back those masters who have not escaped to the north easily, and who will be the home of this swamp when the time comes.

As for the emperor from the south in their mouths, if he was really easy to get along with, how could he be able to fight in a fight?

Kabinska's eyes rolled several times, and even the animal skin on her body trembled.

The brave posture of the southerners is still deeply in his memory, especially those tall, iron-clad warriors, and that posture of not knowing death has already become the deepest nightmare in his heart.

Everyone
