Chapter Eighty-Three: The New Commander (4) Happy Codeword~
In the capital of the Danmoth Empire, the Lord Regent was the first to receive information from the Courage Line. However, unlike the Auxiliary Minister, he received absolutely true reports from his cronies on the Courage Line.
"Are you sure this report is true?" said the Regent, holding a very ordinary-looking piece of paper, frowned at a close confidant standing in front of him tremblingly. It was indeed a very ordinary note, but it had only come to him from the Courage Line through the Beast Knight's pass. The paper faithfully records the real losses of the apostolic side and the Danmoth garrison during this conflict. Although there are still some differences from the real wanted number, it is extremely close.
Seeing that there was no reaction from the cronies in front of him, the regent continued to ask, "It was just a small battle, and more than 6,000 soldiers were killed and wounded?
"Ah, it's my king, the beast knight who passed the note said that the apostolic monsters combined the crushers who specialize in attacking our walls with the giant ladders, and then let the soldiers climb our walls through the ladders. And in contact battles, our soldiers are no match for those terrible monsters. ”
"Where's the Beast Rider?"
The cronies bowed their heads, not daring to answer.
"Say!"
The regent's extremely simple words made this cronie fall to his knees in fright. He was terrified and said, "My king, the beast knight, is gone. ”
"Already gone?" the regent snorted a few times, making Hou Yin and Yang ask the cronie angrily, "How did he leave?" Don't you know that any Beast Knight who has returned from the front line must meet me, and it's such an important thing!"
At this time, the cronies were already scared out of their tears. He replied in horror: "Because, because you were already resting at that time, I didn't want him to disturb 。。。。。 “
"So you're on your own, aren't you!?" The regent grabbed the crony by the collar, lifted him up, swept the liquid on the ground in disgust, and shouted, "How dare you give orders on my behalf? What do you think you are? Do you want to rebel?"
"No, I don't. I'm just seeing you resting, that's why ... ”
"That's why you're addicted to being a king?" the regent laughed angrily, and slammed the crony against the wall with a flick, and when he hit the ground, he had already coughed up several mouthfuls of thick blood, and his mouth was open and wanted to speak, but he couldn't make any sound. It looks like he has suffered serious internal injuries, and if he hadn't been treated, he would have been close to death. However, the regent did not stop there. He looked at his cronies who fell to the ground and said with a cruel smile: "Tell me, do you feel good about sitting in my place? Even if you put all your family's lives on the line, you can't compete with being the king for a minute?"
The cronies, who were speechless, could only shake their heads desperately, praying that it was just a nightmare. If it's not a nightmare, let's get it to an end quickly.
Seeing the frightened look on his cronies' faces, the regent felt very amused. He knew what this cronie was afraid of now. "You're afraid I'll kill all of your family, aren't you?"
The cronies kept nodding. At the same time, he struggled to kneel on the ground and kowtow to the regent. I don't know if it's to atone for my own sins, or to ask the regent not to kill his family.
"I know, I understand. The regent suddenly squatted on the ground and smiled kindly at his cronies kneeling on the ground: "This is just your personal behavior, so public opinion and public opinion, I will not kill your family because of your own mistakes." ”
After hearing the regent's assurances, the cronies were granted amnesty. I don't care that all of this is actually caused by the regent. "Come on, throw him into the crocodile pool. The regent clapped his hands in disgust, and instructed the guards standing around, "Also, throw his wife and children in with him." I'm a good king, how could I just let him face those horrible crocodiles. “
"Ahh After hearing the words of the regent, the cronies who were still kowtowing to thank the regent suddenly felt a burst of despair. He grabbed the Regent's leg and stared at the regent with hateful eyes, not knowing what he was talking about, but he was definitely cursing the regent for breaking his promise.
The regent grabbed his cronies and kicked him away, and said viciously, "I have kept my promise." If you dare to touch me with your dirty hands again, I'll turn all your family into a feast for crocodiles!"
This cronie finally didn't dare to move. He was in tears, and he was dragged away by two guards.
After settling this little turmoil, the regent also began to ponder.
Nine times out of ten, this information is true. The reason why that beast knight came and left was because he was afraid that I would die after reading this information. In other words, the news that came back before is basically true. If that's the case, that old thing will definitely get what he wants, and if he comes back alive, the old emperor will suspect me, no matter how stupid he is. No, you'll have to do both. It's damnable, if it weren't for the apostle's sudden step-by-step now, then this emperor's throne would have been mine a long time ago!
The regent looked around a little dazedly, but he was a little sad to find that although he had many cronies, none of them could understand his own thoughts. I couldn't help but shake my head. If he had one more person who could understand his heart, he would not have to rely on himself to slowly stay up to time with the old emperor. And now I'm too old.
"Someone!" the regent suddenly said fiercely: "Tell me to go down, and you must not let that old thing come back alive! If that old thing comes back alive, then they must not wave it back!"
"Ahh It made his ribs ach. The lady on the side just quietly glanced at the moon hanging in the sky, and said softly, "It seems that there is trouble again." ”
"What do you mean?" said the Auxiliary Chancellor.
Lady Sigh just stared at the Vice-Chancellor and smiled weirdly, "Are you afraid of the necromancers I summoned?"
The Auxiliary Chancellor frowned, he didn't have much resistance to the huge skeletons. But knowing that those guards under his command are a little unbearable. "I'm not afraid, after all, the monsters you summoned are here to help us. It's just that... “
"It's just that your men are scared, aren't they?" said the sighing lady, looking a little unimpressed. "Listen, your nemesis won't just let us go. Luckily for him, though, he didn't seem to get anything out of his precious granddaughter's mouth. But if you think that we can easily reach the line of courage, it is a fool's dream, and if you believe that your men can stand up to your rival army, then I will save you the effort. But if you want my help, tell your demented men, don't leave me alone to fight them!"
The Auxiliary Minister nodded a little smugly, but the situation changed at this time. Suddenly, a very discordant voice came from the group of guards behind the regent.
"Filthy undead!"
The lady who was not far away undoubtedly heard this sentence, and she turned around, narrowed her eyes into a slit, and asked softly in the direction where the group of guards were, "Who said this just now?"
The guards, however, remained silent.
The lady sighed lovingly stroked the war horse under her crotch with her own hand, and then suddenly exerted force. The war horse neighed in pain. But that's not enough. After a few seconds, the Lady laughed heartily, and the horse was suddenly enveloped in a ball of blue flames.
All the people of the Danmoth Empire, including the Auxiliary Minister, looked at the large blue flame in amazement, and even though it was surrounded by flames, the poor war horse still let out a scream.
What kind of magic is this!, and the crowd was stunned. All the guards subconsciously began to be on guard, but none of them dared to step forward, and they watched as the flames slowly extinguished.
The more surprising is only now beginting. From the moment the flame was lit, the laughter of the lady did not stop. Now that the flames were extinguished, the laughter of the sighing lady and the screams of the war horse stopped at the same time. However, no one thought that she and the horse were burned to death. Because, the undamaged Lady of Light Sigh was staring directly at everyone present with her cold blue eyes. Everyone clearly felt the biting coldness of those eyes sweeping over them. What frightened them even more was the war horse.
But now it seems that it can no longer be described as a war horse. Now all over the body, I can't find any existence related to war horses. The current horse, let's use the horse to describe the current monster. Although it looks barely the same as the skeleton of a war horse, there is no flesh and skin left on the body. Even the eyes had been replaced by two dark blue flames. Inside the skeleton, there is no trace of the presence of any internal organs. Instead, a blue flame resembling a heart beats like a heart. Even so, the monster still burst into blue flames from time to time.
"It's called a bone beast. It's one of the lowliest creations of our undead race. Both living and dead things can be easily made by us, even if they are humans. Now, tell me, who said that?"
At this moment, the guards became chaotic like a fryer. Within a few seconds, the guards were consciously divided into two teams, and in the middle of the two teams, one of the guards stood there in a bit of a panic.
"Good. The lady sighed with a blank face, urging the war horse to come to the guard's reluctance, looking at him condescendingly. "You just said that?"
The guards were a little flustered, but when they looked at the auxiliary minister in the carriage, they suddenly had courage. "Yes, that's what I said, aren't you undead filthy?"
The lady sighed angrily and laughed, "Oh? Tell me, why are our undead filthy?"
"You, you're all undead!" the guard didn't know what to say. After all, this was the first time he had really seen the undead. And honestly, apart from the skeletons, Lady Sigh is much more beautiful than even human women. It's just that the guards know that this lady who sighs lightly will never do anything to herself. "Since ancient times, your undead have been filthy!"
However, he didn't say it after all. He only felt like he was flying into the sky after the first sentence. I could have been so light, the guard's face was full of smiles, and he rolled and fell to the ground. And the headless body also quietly fell to the ground.
He's dead!
All the guards were impressed. What they didn't expect was that Lady Sigh would actually kill her colleagues in front of them, and she would actually behead them in an extremely cruel way. But I don't know why, no matter how angry they are in their hearts, they don't dare to pull out the weapon stuck in their waist and face the lady who sighs.
Lady Sigh looked coldly at the people around her who dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and said in a deep voice: "None of you have ever known the history of our undead, because none of you can have such a long lifespan, but I do. Because I won't die. I clearly know that every day of our undead from the time we were driven out of our original land to the corner of the continent, and it is you humans who have turned our undead into this, but you still think we are dirty?"
The scene was silent, not knowing whether it was out of fear or guilt.
"So, I don't want to hear the slightest insult to our undead from your ears, otherwise, he is a good example!"
The Auxiliary Minister looked at the corpse on the ground, and for the first time knew the moodiness of the Lady of Light Sigh. "But he's a human life. ”
"What about human lives?" Lady Sigh looked at the auxiliary minister in the carriage and said angrily: "If you have a life, but we undead have no life?
"Forget it. The lady sighed. "I don't want to say anything more, if you take me as an enemy, it will have to be after you reach the line of courage. Now, you can only listen to me honestly. Understood?"
The Auxiliary Minister nodded abruptly and replied dumbly: "Yes, I see." “
