Chapter 380: The Imperial Capital Dark Tide
Dota Continent, Imperial Capital, Black Mountain. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the early morning, a round of reddish gold sunset loomed in the dark clouds. This is not a sunny day, which can make people feel refreshed, just like the imperial capital today, the whole city is shrouded in a haze that cannot be dispersed, and even the morning air seems to be able to smell a faint smell of blood. This often means that the irascible and irritable Emperor Durondar has started killing again......
The imperial capital of Montenegro is the heart of the entire empire, and any movement here can make the entire Dota continent tremble, although the empire is now crumbling under internal and external troubles, and no longer returns to the glory and majesty of the past, but as long as the empire is indestructible, the unparalleled imperial marshal, the Grand Duke Retusus is still alive, then whether it is the Emiro Millennium Empire on the Nile, the Sun Dynasty entrenched in the desert, or the Seven Towers Alliance of the Magic Country, the orc tribe of the Red Wasteland, the dark elves of the underground city, and even the demon legion of the hell abyss, the natural disaster legion composed of endless undead dare not easily set foot in the territory of the empire。 The Dragon Knights led by Rethusus are still the undisputed strongest legion in the entire continent, and there is no one.
However, just recently, a piece of news that no one could ignore began to spread throughout the Dota continent, going viral...... Rethusus, mysteriously missing.
At first, no one took this as a thing, after all, there was almost no possibility of being assassinated by Rethusus, not that no one or force had tried to erase the patron saint of the empire, but anyone or force who dared to put this idea into practice paid a heavy price for their stupidity and impulsiveness, and the overall national strength was already faintly above the empire of the Desert Sun Dynasty, which was appointed as the Sun King, and used the blood of twelve royals and his own abdication to barely quell the anger of the Dragon Knights. The Emiro Millennial Empire took nearly a hundred years, and the secret legion of the Faceless Ones, which was secretly formed by using the human, material and financial resources of the entire empire, was silently wiped out when it carried out its first mission, and even except for the top figures of the Emiro Millennial Empire, except for Retuses himself, no one knew the real reason for the disappearance of this legion that may surpass the Dragon Knight Legion in combat power and could have left a strong mark in the long song of history.
Retuses is unkillable, this has become almost the consensus of everyone in the entire continent, all his enemies can almost only secretly hope that this imperial iron wall will die a natural death, but many people have waited for a lifetime without being able to wait for this day, and they no longer know whether it is a human race or a dragon Retusus, and how long his lifespan is, I am afraid that even the gods of the heavenly realm and the ancient dragon gods do not know.
However, such an invincible and unkillable imperial military god disappeared.
It's not difficult to verify the authenticity of this message, as long as you are willing to pay a sufficient price. The Millennial Empire and the Sun Dynasty, which have been waiting for an unknown number of years, have pressed their ace legions to the borders of the Empire, risking the possible loss of these legions to test the Empire's bottom line. As for the spies who were ambushed in the imperial capital of Montenegro, they were even more crazy and tried to infiltrate the headquarters of the Dragon Knights. As for the final answer, the whole continent trembled, some were so excited that they even shed tears, and some were terrified and uneasy. The huge state apparatus of the two human empires that are eyeing each other is in full operation, and if it weren't for the fact that Letusus might only be missing for a short time, I am afraid that an all-out war would have been launched against the empire. The Orc Tribes of the Wasteland and the Dark Council of the Underworld are also eyeing each other. As for the Cool Bear Principality, which has already openly rebelled, it will not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and make shocking huge moves in a row. For a time, the flames of war suddenly swept through the entire empire. Although it has not been directly affected by the war, the imperial capital of Montenegro, which was originally drunk and dreaming of life and death every night, has suddenly quieted down a lot, and those imperial nobles who thought that they would live in the wine pond and meat forest for the rest of their lives suddenly realized that their happy days may be over. This possibility, which had never been imagined before, suddenly came flooding up, causing many stupid guys to impulsively make a move that touched the bottom line of the terror emperor Durondal, collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, secretly transferring assets, and defecting......
As a result, the secret police and several major executioner families, which were already heavily taught, were now even more busy, and even the young sons of the executioner families who were still minors walked onto the high platform in the square with delicate and elegant decapitation swords in their hands. However, the executioner family could not rest easy in front of this moody and fearful emperor, and just a few days ago, the most trusted member of the executioner family in the entire empire, the leader of fashion trends, the flower of the imperial capital, and the first beauty on the continent who dominated the emperor's favor for the longest time, Amanda Amilian Christian Tarbrice von Huwen, who was known to everyone, was arrested by the Emperor's secret police force and entered the equally famous old Marquis Brahadley as the warden" Montenegrin Royal Prison", and will be beheaded in public in a month on the Imperial Capital Square.
Although everyone knew that the emperor's favor could not be shrouded in one person forever, although everyone knew that after the mysterious giant demon beauty appeared by the emperor's side, the former favored minister would sooner or later be sent to the cold palace, but after this news came out, the sensation caused was no less than the mysterious disappearance of the imperial marshal Retusus. No one cared about the reason why this imperial favored vassal was sent to prison, because the emperor didn't need any reason to kill people at all. All people care about is what will happen to Earl Amanda, who was, no, maybe still the first beauty on the mainland, and what will happen to him in the end. There are already people on the black market who have offered sky-high prices, clamoring to buy the head of Earl Amanda as a collectible, of course, the price of the body is enough to make some ancient nobles who are rich in the world gasp, and the figure behind the buyer even points directly to the two rival empires. This pink news also seemed to dilute the bloody and uneasy atmosphere that shrouded the imperial capital a little, but only some wise people who really paid attention to the Empire's every move would seriously figure out what kind of truth was hidden after these major events that shocked the Empire and shocked the Dota Continent.
The towering Capital Airport welcomed the first balloon airship to call at the port today, a passenger and cargo airship, the Imperial Airport welcomes hundreds of these airships every day, and no one pays too much attention to what kind of cargo will be carried on this airship, and what kind of guests will be carried.
After the airship docked safely, the wharf laborers swarmed up to unload the heavy bags of goods, which made these coolies frown as soon as they were shouldered, and even the relatively strong orc and dwarf laborers lamented the weight of the goods. But under the urging of the whip, even if the goods are heavy, they have no right to refuse to work. Whether they can eat breakfast or not, whether there are crumbs of black-skinned bread in the breakfast, depends on their work performance, and at least half of them do not have the right to eat breakfast, even if it is not worth even a snack from a low-ranking aristocratic watchdog.
As usual, there are inspectors arranged by the military headquarters of the imperial capital on the wharf, who are responsible for checking the prohibited smuggled goods and checking the identities of the people who come and go. And these lethargic officials don't care about what's in these big bags and small bags at all, they only care about the weight of the wallet stuffed into their hands.
This time the filial piety was obviously very satisfying to the inspectors, who did not even go through the symbolic inspection process, but watched the passengers walking down and down the cabin with sleepy eyes to see if any fat sheep could make them knock again. The reason is very simple, the poor cannot afford this new means of transportation, and the nobles disdain to take this kind of passenger and cargo airship, they have their own exclusive means of transportation, those beautifully decorated carriages may not be as comfortable as the airship, not as fast as the airship, but it carries the glorious history of those nobles, carries their dignity and pride.
Because of this, these merchants are like lambs waiting to be slaughtered in the eyes of these customs inspectors, and almost every one of them can cut off fat pieces of meat with a knife. They quickly chose their first target for the day. In fact, this was also natural, because the passenger had just stepped out of the cabin and became the focus of attention of everyone nearby, and even the dock laborers did not care about the whips and scoldings on their bodies, and focused their eyes on the lady who stepped out of the cabin. But they didn't get too many lashes, for the overseers soon followed them.
It was a graceful and luxurious beauty, her appearance was as delicate as priceless oriental white jade porcelain, and her beauty was like the heroine of the great painter's hand-me-down. Her temperament is noble, and she can't find the slightest flaw in her every move, which is comparable to those ancient nobles who have been trained since childhood, and they may not be able to compare with her. However, although the gorgeous dress she wore was comparable to the dress of the top noble housewife, whether it was the material or the taste of the cut, in the eyes of these vicious-eyed customs inspectors, it was still clear at a glance that there was no special mark on this dress that implied aristocratic status. In the laws of the Empire, certain patterns and styles of clothing were strictly forbidden to be used only by the true nobility. Without aristocratic status, even if you have more wealth than nobles, it is a capital offense to wear aristocratic clothes without permission.
The beautiful woman in front of them is undoubtedly the most delicious lamb in the eyes of these prosecutors, and perhaps they will be able to harvest more than a bag of gold coins today, but also an affair that will make the gods jealous. With such thoughts, with obscene and obscene glances, several inspectors walked towards the fat sheep in their eyes. Of course, if they were a little more careful and didn't focus all their attention on this beauty's face, they would be able to see the mark of a black castle on the long dress that the beauty was wearing, the mark of the Black City Guild. And this mark, in today's imperial capital Montenegro, represents wealth, represents power, and represents power, which is far superior to the ordinary aristocracy. (To be continued.) )
