Chapter 12: The Remnants of the East Palace
"Really? Please look to your left! I said leisurely, not worrying about my life at all. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Sha Ye quickly glanced to the left, but was taken aback, and couldn't help but lose color, I don't know when, Dai Yisi has entered the main hall, and pulled out the "Moon God's Bow" at a distance of about ten meters, and the full bowstring has been set up with two dazzling light arrows at this time, and the tip of the arrow is pointing at Sha Ye's body!
"I can't imagine that the successor of the moon god will also be willing to cling to you...... Tell her to put down her bow and arrows, or I'd rather lose both! β
I continued coldly, "Don't threaten me, I've never bowed my head under the threat of others! And you're naΓ―ve too! Do you think you can really hurt me? With the slightest movement of your shoulders, before your consciousness reaches your fingertips, the arrows of light will break your graceful arms and pierce your beautiful heads! Is there no foolproof way for a dangerous enemy like you to get close to me? There is no sword in my body, and even without the help of Daisis, I can easily kill you! You are right, I can't bear to kill a beautiful woman like you, but when a person's life is threatened, there is nothing else to care about, and conscience and morality all retreat! You're giving me an excuse like this, creating an opportunity for me to kill you! β
"I don't believe it!" Sha Ye looked back at me, trying to find a flaw in my look, but he couldn't find what he was looking for.
"You can try it!" I sneered and said, "But you only have one chance, and if you fail, you won't have a chance!" β
"Sand Night Confession! But you have to keep me safe, or I'd rather fight to the death! Sha Ye couldn't help but waver in the face of my unfathomable expression, and finally believed my words, after all, she cherished her life more than killing me.
"Okay, I promise you! But I must imprison your power. Even though I'm not afraid of you, I don't want you to hurt the people around me! I said, and fearlessly instructed Daisy to put away the "Luna Bow" first.
"Even now, are you really sure you're going to kill me?" Sha Ye couldn't help but ask suspiciously.
"You can try again, I give you this chance!" I said calmly.
"Nope! I won't fall for you, you're terrible, a thousand times more terrible than I originally estimated! You killed me in peace of mind, and you didn't hesitate to use yourself as a trap for me to fall into willingly! β
Sha Ye shook her head, took the initiative to withdraw her jade hand, and let me impose a ban on her, and retreated from me obediently, but couldn't help but ask, "Now you can tell me, is what you just said true or false?" β
"Of course I lied to you! Who told you to be so good at cheating! I laughed half-truthfully.
"I'd rather be deceived by you than take such a risk......" Sha Ye is also a person who can afford to let go, and his face is replaced with a charming smile, "Alec, you are really a talent!" Why not join His Highness Christfan? You know, if you want to be the enemy of the temple and His Highness, you will be cut off! You don't know what a great man His Highness Christfan is, even greater than God, and he is the best of his time; The world is unparalleled! It is neither wise nor foolish to be an enemy of Your Highness, and you are doomed to failure! Your Highness has great regard for you, and is willing to offer the most generous terms, and is willing to give up your beloved, and as long as you are willing to nod your head, you will immediately receive the Aaron's poem. Why do you insist on going your own way? β
"You're a charming lady, but not a great lobbyist." I shook my head and said proudly, "You're not the first person to say that to me. I would rather go sideways than be subservient to others, and I only obey! I value the brilliant process, not the successful result, even if I am bound to fail, I will also lose vigorously! Besides, the princes and generals would rather have a kind? Is there a destiny to rule the land of Sainthood? Only the mighty will chase the deer! As for who killed the deer, history knows by itself! I don't believe that I can't sweep the world of Liuhe and Yuyu! β
"Is Your Majesty so confident? Sometimes being too confident is equal to conceit, and being too rigid is easy to break, why not take a step back and open the sky......" Sha Ye continued to try to convince me.
"It's not easy for me to go further, why should I retreat?! The sea is boundless and the sky is the shore, and the top of the mountain is the peak! "Speaking of this, the boundless domineering spirit spread out from me, so that Sha Ye didn't dare to look up.
Sha Ye knew that it would be futile to say anything more, so he had to smile coquettishly: "Okay, I know that I am not the material to be a lobbyist...... Can you let people go now? β
"I'm afraid not now, your palace sent you to Donggamont to directly intervene in secular disputes, which can be described as ill-intentioned, as a party, I have the right to seek justice, and your palace owes me a reasonable explanation! Before the matter is clear, he can only trouble His Highness Sha Ye to be a guest in the empire, and as for the deadline, it may be a lifetime! β
"No, I have to leave! I can't stay! I have to ......," Shaya protested.
"No must!" I threatened, "I won't kill you, I'm merciful enough to you!" If you disobey my decision, I will reward you to my subordinates and leave you at your disposal! Even if you are a peerless enchantress, I'm afraid it will still be difficult to bear the ravages of thousands of people riding and ten thousand people sitting, right? β
After saying that, I handed over the sand night that I was too scared to speak to be in the care of Drink, and the ineffective protest had to silently accept the fate of his own prisoner.
When I had dealt with the affairs of Sha Ye, I stood with my hands in my hands on the main hall, and casually glanced at the vacant throne, which had been dimmed by the loss of the authority of its master and representative.
I was silent for a moment, took a breath, and shouted to the empty hall, "All of you who are still hiding, please come out!" Your patron, the High Priest of the Sand Night, is no longer able to provide you with the necessary shelter! I don't have the patience to wait for others, and if you don't show up again, I'll have to order you to be killed! β
As soon as the words fell, two familiar figures walked out of the side hall. I looked at James and Kalisa in front of me.
James looked panicked, his body was slightly blessed, his face was unusually pale due to excessive wine, and his eyes were deeply sunken, which could not help but remind him of his father in his old age.
Kalisa was much clearer, her face was pale and haggard, her eyes were slightly resentful, she was much more mature, but she was still beautiful, and she looked even more pitiful.
When James saw me, he almost cried and pleaded with me, "Alex...... No, Your Majesty...... Please spare my life! Everything is ...... here I can give it all to you, and I am willing to pay you ......"
I ignored James, looked at Kalisa, and asked lightly, "You...... How are you doing all these years? β
"If I didn't have your presence, I'd be very happy!" Kalisa looked at me coldly, her eyes full of resentment, "May I ask what His Majesty the Emperor will do with us and my wife?" β
I was silent.
"Do you really want to kill them all? If I had failed you back then, then your revenge on us husband and wife was enough! Isn't it enough for you to destroy our homes, kill countless people, leave my husband with nothing, and make our husband and wife prisoners? Kalisa said angrily.
I just looked at my former fiancΓ©e calmly and said in a stiff tone: "This is not about personal hatred, I once had a grudge against you, but I have no hatred, and now that things have changed, the grudge I once had has disappeared...... I am not standing here today to take revenge on you - if I had raised 100,000 troops, marched thousands of miles, destroyed the country and destroyed the city on the basis of my own personal grudges, I would not have been able to get here! To this day, you haven't really gotten to know me...... Since your husband has the courage to be emperor, he must take the corresponding responsibility, even if it is devastating, and this is just politics! β
"It's all an excuse for you men! For the sake of power, for the sake of hegemony, everything can be given up and everything can be trampled! Have you ever paid attention to how we feel as women? I'm not asking too much, just a complete home, a husband who loves me...... But you will take it away! Why can't a woman take the initiative to obtain happiness that belongs to you, and can only wait pitifully for your man's alms? Why...... I hate being born in this era! Kalisa said indignantly, as if she was questioning me, and as if she was expressing a heartfelt indictment of this era.
I was speechless, just silent.
James knelt down in front of me with a "poof", grabbed my legs and pleaded unwillingly: "Your Majesty, I don't want to die!" As long as you let me live, you can take everything I have, including Kalisa! β
I kicked James away and sneered disdainfully, "Your Majesty the Great, please leave some dignity for yourself!" You were once a king, too! A descendant of Ferratis! You must have the courage to take responsibility in order to live up to the glory of your fathers, even if you have to face death, you should die while maintaining the dignity of the king! Stand up, draw your sword, and I'll give you a fair shot! β
Desperate, James stood up tremblingly, trembling and trying to pull out the long sword, but he reached out but grabbed it empty, stunned, tried a few more times, but the king's sword within reach could not be caught, and finally let him touch the sword handle, but before he could even pull out the sword, his body had rushed towards me, but when he took two steps, his legs suddenly weakened, and he fell to the ground, at this time, the sword was not yet unsheathed.
James struggled on the ground for a while, and even let him get up, the expression on his face suddenly became crazy and extremely hideous, and I saw him pointing his finger at me, while screaming a little hysterically: "I am the sacrosanct emperor of the Ferrati Empire!" Alexander, you usurper! Don't try to take away the throne that the Emperor gave me! You...... You, you, you...... Don't come here! I'm not afraid of you! I have peerless martial arts, and I have a million soldiers......"
As he spoke, James stepped back, and when his body touched the throne, he suddenly put his hands on the throne, stared at the tiger chair that once represented power and glory with great affection, and muttered to himself: "I am the destiny of heaven...... I am a noble ...... I have peerless martial arts, millions of soldiers ......"
Kalisa silently followed her husband, gently stroked James's back with her hand, then hugged James from behind, and said softly, "James, it's over...... It's over...... Ten years of flashy years, but a dream...... It's time to wake up......"
Sensing his wife's call, James turned around and said a little unconsciously, "Lisa...... Lisa...... You tell me...... I am the king, I am your majesty...... Right? β
Tears finally flowed from Calissa's sad eyes, but as if she had made up her mind, her gaze suddenly became firm, and the expression on her face became extremely calm, and she whispered softly to her husband, "Since you want to be king so much, then be a dignified king......
James, who was in a state of confusion, did not understand his wife's words, but muttered repeatedly: "I am the king...... I am the ...... King."
After saying this, Kalisa turned her face and looked at me sadly, then sighed faintly, and said calmly: "Alex, please put an end to this time of turmoil, turmoil, and lack of fairness......
I involuntarily stretched out my right hand to her, and when she was still in mid-air, I saw her suddenly turn around, pull out the saber around James's waist, and slam into James's heart, the bloody sword leaked out of James's back and stabbed into Kalisa's chest!
Kalisa's bloody body fell to the throne, and James sat down in his wife's arms, only to see his face twitch, his head tilted, and his feet kicked unconsciously, and he died, and Kalisa showed a smile of relief on her face, and finally her smile stiffened, and she died......
I withdrew my right hand, which was fixed in mid-air, glanced at the bodies of James and Kalisa on the throne, nodded wordlessly, and then silently withdrew from the hall, but there were no tears in my eyes.
The generals greeted me, but I only said indifferently: "Bury them......"
The royal flag representing the Jaesque regime was lowered from the city of East Gamont......
This day was October 20, 1900 in the Holy Lun calendar, and the short-lived Jacobite dynasty was in charge for only four years before it was hastily declared dead, and the five counties including Eastern Gamont were officially incorporated into the empire.
On the 23rd of October 1900 in the Saint-Lun calendar, when I was about to set off for the imperial capital, I received a report from the spies that the Aruton and Ettiria regimes had each gathered more than 300,000 troops, and were marching rapidly in the direction of Eastern Gamont, and it was estimated that it would take three days to arrive, and that the commander of the Ettiria army was the reinstated General Carlos!
When the generals heard the news, they were all shocked, at present, the imperial army only has 150,000 soldiers and horses in Eastern Gamont, how can it resist the enemy's total army of more than 600,000?
Hugh Belmont privately suggested to me that I attract the attention of the enemy army with 150,000 Imperial soldiers, and that I would sneak out of Donggamont and return to the imperial capital under the protection of the "Ears of the Yellow Dragon".
I rejected his suggestion and said with a smile: "What is going to come will always come, and I have my own way to solve the crisis!" Aiqing doesn't need to worry about my safety. β
On October 26, 1900 in the Saint-Lun calendar, the armies of Aruton and Ettiria appeared under the north and south gates respectively and surrounded the eastern and southern gates.
The Imperial Army embarked on a fate similar to that of the James Army, from the hunters who originally rounded up the trapped beasts to the trapped beasts that were rounded up......
