Chapter 65: The Strongest Corruption in the History of the Empire
Imperial capital, Capital Square. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
This square is the largest square in the imperial capital, and it is also the place where the imperial palace army directly under the empress gathers and goes on the expedition.
The residents who had just had lunch found that the Imperial Palace Army, which was usually nowhere to be seen, actually went to the Capital Square to assemble at a very fast speed, and it seemed that something big had happened.
No one dared to ask about these things, unless someone wanted to go to prison for a few days. However, there are a lot of people watching around, which expedition is not a strong crowd of people around?
The soldiers left in a hurry, but the crowd of onlookers was more dedicated than them, and after the soldiers were assembled, a large number of spectators around them also appeared, chattering on the side.
It is worth bragging that today they saw a different kind of expedition.
Because today it is the empress herself who leads the troops to the battle.
Seeing that the empress actually put on armor, the morale of the soldiers instantly soared, and the residents of the imperial capital became even more noisy for a moment.
What happened to make the empress personally go out to fight the enemy?
They didn't know why, the empire hadn't been at war for more than a decade.
What opened the eyes of the surrounding residents even more was that a gate with a width of five meters and a height of seven meters covered with feathers appeared on the side of the empress, and the gate opened quickly, and behind it was a scene that did not belong to the imperial capital.
The streets were full of elves and dwarves, and the number of those streets was probably more than all the elven dwarves in the imperial capital combined.
"Expedition!"
With a shout from Iseri, the Imperial Army rushed into the door at great speed, driving away the humans and those races that were different from them.
In Southeast County, the streets were chaotic for a moment, and a large number of soldiers dressed in silver and gold threads appeared in the gate that suddenly appeared, and the murderous aura on their bodies instantly frightened some border residents who had not experienced war.
The Imperial Palace soldiers rushed to the city gate in two ways, and they were responsible for controlling the city's gates and borders. rushed all the way to the City Lord's Mansion where the city lord Meng Mai lived, and was responsible for controlling the city lord as soon as possible.
The city gate was quickly controlled, although the southeast county was a border city, and the people were fierce, but in the face of a large number of soldiers guarding the city wall with a surging momentum, they still wisely chose to surrender.
The city gate ended perfectly without spending a single soldier, but the city lord's mansion was different, and the imperial palace army was seriously damaged by the magic mines that had been activated buried in the palace after rushing into the city lord's mansion.
Although the magic mine was detonated by the court mage who arrived later, the various traps around it forced the imperial army to advance cautiously, seriously slowing down the march.
Inside the command tent in the Capital Square.
"What's wrong?" asked Wei Wei, who had just brought some cooked food to Wang Chongyang, when he came back and saw that Isseri looked furious.
"City Lord Meng Mai knew that it was the arrival of our emperor's palace army, and he actually opened all the enemy magic arrays in the palace! His behavior has made everything clear, this emperor must catch him and parade through the streets!
Iserlie didn't expect Meng Mai to dare to rebel against the empire openly, but this is also normal, there must be a lot of things hidden in the city lord's mansion that are not good for him, the city lord, rather than being found out by the empire, it is better to jump out and fight directly.
"Report to Your Majesty!" said a herald who ran up to Iseri and half-knelt down.
"Say!"
"All the magic arrays in the Southeast County City Lord's Mansion have been cleaned up, but when attacking the castle, they were blocked by the defensive array. The herald said quickly.
As soon as he heard that the attack was actually blocked by a defensive magic circle, Isellie's face turned a little bad: "How can a mere magic circle stop my tens of thousands of Imperial Palace troops?
"The mages have run out of mana and are resting. ”
Hearing this, Isellie slapped the table: "Let them all go back and send a new mage!"
"No, Your Majesty!" said a protest outside the tent, and then the astrologer Bajistan walked in.
"The defensive magic circle used by Meng Mai is impossible to break through even if all the mages in the Imperial Palace are emptied, the energy he has is very huge, and if we don't retain some magic power, our side will be in danger. ”
"Assassination?" Vivi said uncertainly, looking at Isel.
"That's right, both those trap magic circles and the last defensive magic circles are set up to exhaust the enemy's magical power, and as long as the mages are insufficient or not strong enough to maintain vigilance, then it is time for the assassin to carry out the decapitation operation. Bagistan said, his old body emitting an astonishing momentum, a feeling of inadversity.
"Grandpa Bagestan, is there any way to break through that circle?" asked Isel, always asking the eldest, Bagestan, who has arguably the most experience among the human race, when faced with a difficult problem.
"As long as several mages with high enough attack strength attack one of these points at the same time, the circle will disappear in less than ten seconds. Bajistan took out the crystal ball to show a castle and pointed to a few points of the magic circle on the surface.
This is really powerful, this city lord's mansion is so big, it is the size of an ordinary village!
"But all the mages who can use it have used up their magic power, and they can't use other magic powers......"
"I'll go, I've got it. Vivi said to Iselly.
"Are you really going? It's already a battlefield. Iseri asked solemnly, in her mind Vivi was nothing more than a cute and kind girl.
"If you're willing to help me, I'll want to help you if I can, and I'm not a vase. Vivi has a strong sense of confidence and fighting spirit in his eyes, and these are not lies.
"Then you have to come back early, my sister hasn't hugged Xiao Wei enough~" The empress, who was still very serious in the last second, revealed her true form in the next second, hugging Wei Wei and rubbing it.
After a while, Vivi set off for the City Lord's Mansion, through the deserted streets, and then through the ruins of the City Lord's Mansion to the innermost castle.
Seeing the white castle surrounded by a defensive circle and no less luxurious than the Imperial Palace, Wei Wei subconsciously complained in his heart: "Isn't it saying 'I have a problem!'
Vivi walked over to a makeshift table and took out the sign Iseri had given him to prove his identity to the general sitting behind the table.
The general of the Imperial Palace Army knew that the cute, dignified and non-attacking Lori in front of him was the powerful one who summoned the gate of the Capital Square, so he respectfully followed Vivi's instructions and began to regroup his army to prepare for the attack.
Pick any point that Bajistan said, Vivi summoned the Gate of Flame, the Gate of Thunder, the Gate of Pure Water, and the Gate of Rock to attack at the same time, and in an instant, fire charges, cluster lightning, ice spikes, and meteorite swarms all bombarded the same place in the defensive circle.
Ten seconds, no more, no less, exactly ten seconds, the attacked magic circle let out a sound similar to a mournful roar and disappeared in an instant, blocking the most difficult defense of the Imperial Palace Army was finally broken by Wei Wei!
"The whole army is attacking!" At the moment when the magic circle disappeared, the general who had been waiting on the side for a long time did not hesitate to command the attack, intending to take down Meng Mai, who was still nesting in the castle, in one fell swoop.
Meng Mai was finally caught, but there were more surprises in the process.
Meng Mai's assassination troops were actually hiding in the castle, which made the attacking soldiers suffer a lot of casualties, the most thrilling thing is that when the general found Meng Mai, Meng Mai, who was already frightened, directly wanted to activate the self-detonation device in the entire castle underground, if it wasn't for Wei Wei summoning more than a dozen heavy gold gates to smash Meng Mai directly, I am afraid that the next moment Wei Wei, the general and tens of thousands of soldiers will follow the castle to the sky.
Overall, this battle was very good, and Vivi also got a one-time experience.
In fact, Meng Mai could escape through the secret passage, but he was too greedy, and he was stingy and stingy, not to mention that the vault was full of gold coin boxes, and even the secret passage was blocked by gold coins, so he couldn't get out.
Then why don't you open another vault when it's full?
Because Meng Mai is stingy with money.
So what's the point of not reopening a dark passage?
Because Meng Mai is stingy with money.
So why did he build a castle that was as luxurious as the imperial palace?
Because he has a... No... A group of wives who love Xian, in order to highlight their wealth, blow in Meng Mai's ears every day, so that he can't stand it, and he has no choice but to agree to build a big castle.
For the safety of his own gold coins, he also paid a lot of money to set up many traps, castle defense circles and self-detonation devices.
It's a pity that these things were cleaned up in one day, and the culprit who caused this incident was Wei Wei, who pressed him under the door of heavy money.
Meng Mai's arrest, whether it was a matter of lying about the budget for many years or an attempt to rebel against his own country, was found and confirmed, and there were many incidents of different sizes that were found to be committed by Meng Mai.
A parade in the streets can no longer relieve the empress and the inhabitants of the empire, and what awaits him will be the most cruel punishment of the empire.
