Chapter Seventy-Two: Awakening from a Dream

On the second day, when the Flying Beast Knight quickly felt the capital of the Danmos Empire with the stump of an apostle soldier, even the incompetent old emperor and the regent who wanted to fight for power had actually been rumored for a long time before they didn't take it, but they had been treating it as a joke and sneering at it, and finally knew that what they insisted on believing before might be wrong.

However, the two rulers of the Danmos Empire did not immediately stand up and admit their mistakes, but after making a bigger joke, they were forced to bow down to the situation. So, what kind of jokes did they make?

It is said that in the early morning of the next day, inside the palace of Danmos. The old emperor, who had finally recovered a little when the apostles threatened the safety of the Danmos Empire, had just been woken up by his own attendants and was about to enjoy the first meal of the day. And the regent still slept with his head covered in his official residence, and as the de facto ruler of the Dammos Empire, he did not allow anyone to disturb him. If someone dares to violate, then there will be a price with their lives.

But when the Beast Knight brought the apostle's stump to the palace, the old emperor personally sent his henchmen to the regent's residence, and after a long hesitation, he woke up the unprovoked regent. The regent, who was woken up, was furious and drew his sword from the bedside to cut off the head of the disrespectful man, but he endured it when he found out that the person who came was the old emperor's confidant. After all, the person in front of him is the closest person to the old emperor, and he also holds an important position in the empire no less than that of the regent. He and the regent have always been well water and do not interfere with river water, but they are still afraid of the regent, which is very clear in the regent's heart. If it weren't for something important, he wouldn't have bothered himself rashly.

"What's the matter. The Lord Regent put the sword back in its scabbard, still a little annoyed, but at least there was no killing intent.

The heartbeat of the person who came was still very fast because of fear, and he could only reply tremblingly: "Lord Regent, Your Majesty has an urgent summons." ”

"Is it a matter of urgency?

"I don't know, but one of the beast knights who flew back from the front line brought back the stump of an unknown animal, which he said was from an apostle. ”

"Apostle?" the Lord Regent frowned, a little annoyed. "What's all the fuss about, aren't we killing enough apostles?

The visitor did not reply again, and he could not speak. Moreover, most of the fear in his heart has been removed, and he is actually in the same class as the regent, so he is no longer afraid of the man in front of him. No matter how much the regent wanted to usurp the throne, he didn't have the courage to kill a close confidant of the emperor in his own mansion.

Sure enough, seeing that he couldn't get an answer from the mouth of this emperor's cronies, the regent had the intention of pulling out his sword again and cutting off this eye-catching person directly. But forced by the identity of the other party, the regent didn't want to ruin his good deeds because of a small miscellaneous fish. Now the old emperor is not so mediocre, but he is getting older and older, as long as he persists until he returns to heaven, then this Danmos Empire will be the world of the regent. By then, it won't be too late to kill all the eyesores. So, in the end, he had his men prepare two good horses and go to the palace surrounded by the guards.

After arriving at the palace, the old emperor was still worried about the sudden appearance of the apostle's stump. Why did the front line send this disgusting corpse stump over? The old emperor frowned. Could it be that all the recent rumors are true?

I don't know when it began, the families of some front-line soldiers in the capital began to gather outside the palace or in the square to cry and lose contact with their families. You know, no matter how mediocre the Danmos Empire is, there is one thing that is better. That is, every other week, flying beasts deliver letters from front-line soldiers to family members in the country. Now, these weeping family members have not received any letters from their relatives for two weeks, and they have not received any messages from their relatives for a month. If there was no contact for a week, perhaps it was because of the war or some other reason that the soldiers of the Danmoth Empire did not have the opportunity to send the letters back home. But if there are so many at the same time and for such a long time, there is only one explanation for this phenomenon, and that is war. Only war will cause a large number of soldiers to die, and only dead soldiers will not have no message with their families and relatives for a long time.

However, the front line has been winning. Even if the death of a soldier was inevitable in any case, it was almost impossible for thousands of families of soldiers to gather here at once. You must know that the battle situation received by the old emperor shows that the soldiers killed in the battle of the Danmos Empire are only a few dozen.

Soon, the families of the missing soldiers turned the rally into a farce. More and more civilians joined the march, which eventually led to riots. During the riots, which lasted for several days, dozens of shops were smashed and some innocent passers-by were forced into the riots and suppressed by the arriving army.

It's really a tragic thing. In just one afternoon, dozens of families of missing soldiers were suppressed or even killed by their own colleagues. And from beginning to end, the old emperor did not come forward once, but just let things develop. As for why the old emperor did this, it was only because at the instigation of the regent, he never believed that his empire was losing. It's just that now, the stump of the apostle placed in the middle of the main hall made the old emperor doubt what he believed in for the first time.

Finally, in the midst of the wait, his cronies and the regent finally arrived.

Before the regent could salute, the old emperor asked in a questioning tone, "My Lord Regent, can you tell me what this animal limb is now in front of you, I don't know if you are familiar with it?"

The Lord Regent looked at the massive stump on the ground with some disgust and covered his nose. In fact, he knew very well in his heart what this thing was, but he still knelt on the ground and made a big salute to the old emperor before replying: "Your Majesty, I don't know, perhaps, this is a stump left by a new species. “
