Chapter 1: Inside the Rising Sun City
It is located in the capital of the Sauron Empire, the largest city in the eastern part of the subcontinent! it is also the pride of human construction of cities, almost as many as those inhabited by any foreign race.
Here are some of the most important leaders of the Sauron Empire. It can be said that they have the most powerful imperial resources in Celos, and they also carry the greatest and huge ambition in history.
The central location of the city of the Rising Sun is the great palace where the royal family of Sauron lived. To the south of the palace was a luxurious place for ministers. On weekdays, not to mention the ministers, even the king himself has to come here.
Today is no exception, and at about half past seven in the morning, many ministers have been waiting here for a long time. They were all waiting for the arrival of the king to discuss the recent conflict with neighboring Saran.
The Sauronians called this daily morning meeting the Early Dynasty, and no matter how bad the external conditions were, the ministers and their kings had to abide by this rule.
The eldest grandson, Wenwei, was the earliest of them, although he was nearly seventy years old, and it was difficult to even lift his waist. But at the morning meeting, he was the first to come.
The eldest grandson, Wenwei, had been prime minister for some years, and he had gradually grasped supremacy during the lifetime of Sauron's previous king. Now, although he has already handed over the power to the current king, as long as he has the idea of interfering in the government and the opposition, almost all the achievements will fall to him.
This was the confidence of Sun Wenwei, the eldest prime minister of Sauron, but he did not want to do so. Because the current king is doing so well that in time he will even surpass his father. Therefore, the eldest grandson Wenwei naturally won't interfere with anything, he has entered old age, and now he just wants to give the king a little advice.
'Sooner or later, this world will be yours', the eldest grandson Wenwei has always wanted to say this to the king.
The facilities in this palace are still relatively luxurious, and it is normal to think about it, and the leader of the highest [River Crab] layer in the Sauron Kingdom, whether it is civil or military, will gather here at this moment. So as a leader, how can you not be luxurious when you see the scene at first sight?
Although he had been here for decades, the eldest grandson Wenwei couldn't help but slowly move his face to casually look at the structure of this palace.
A red carpet about a meter wide stretched out in the center of the palace and extended to the throne at the end. On both sides of the red carpet, there are several golden pillars. Their main function was to support the palace, but they also had a secondary and important purpose, which was to decorate the monotonous interior of the palace.
These pillars, including the walls around the palace, are inlaid with lifelike dragons. The dragons were as if they were alive, 'swimming' with their teeth and claws.
The dragons that humans know are markedly different from the giant winged lizards of the elves.
Dragons in the minds of humans are meant to be protected by the gods, they belong to legendary animals, and they do not exist in themselves. And with their help, humanity would be invincible. It was with this language that Sauron's ancestors decided to inlay this legendary animal in various palaces.
Now that I think about it, it's been hundreds of years.
The eldest grandson, Wenwei, had been in a state of contemplation until he was disturbed by the extremely young minister next to him. Now in this palace, most of the ministers are talking about their Sauron, the war with the neighboring country of Saran.
Originally, the two countries had not yet reached the point of war, but just a few days ago, an urgent report came from the front that Generalissimo Lian Yun had privately decided to raid Saran's military camp. Soon after, news of the setback of the raid came from the front.
For a time, most of the ministers were a little unhappy about Marshal Lian Yunpo's private war. It's just that there's more to it than that. Because they couldn't have imagined how Saran, whose army was already in a state of complete slack, could withstand Lian Yunpo's sudden attack.
You must know that Lian Yunpo is a big man who has fought a war for more than 50 years, and he knows very well how to cut off the enemy in front of him. And with the defeat of this old marshal, the eldest grandson Wenwei became more and more prominent, and it may be that the situation of this attack on Saran is not very smooth.
Of course, most ministers are more critical of Lian Yunpo's private war. They thought that the old marshal was doing whatever he wanted with his military exploits, and without consulting the leaders in Shengyang City, they casually decided to cross the border of another country.
Isn't that a slap in the face of today's kings?
But what they didn't know was that before Lian Yunpo led his troops to the battle, it was the eldest grandson Wenwei himself who asked the king for instructions on giving the old marshal the right to go to war.
Therefore, the king will definitely not condemn Lian Yunpo now. On the contrary, the king even praised Lian Yunpo for his bravery and decisiveness. After all, Lian Yunpo didn't go to war against Saran for no reason, but because of the fact that 'the former marshal of the other party entered our arsenal privately', and then there was 'the current marshal of the other party angrily broke into our military camp', he would rashly lead the cavalry to raid.
However, speaking of the current marshal of Salan, listening to Lian Yunpo's letter, it seems that she is still a very, very young girl, whose identity is Shen Haiteng's woman.
Lian Yunpo had been working to recruit the current Marshal Saran, but the eldest grandson, Wenwei, had negative thoughts. They had never given up on the idea of recruiting human talents, but when it came to recruiting Saran, there was only one successful precedent for a magician named Zhang Zhijie.
As a result, the eldest grandson Wenwei basically gave up the idea of recruiting Sarans, and he himself did not like the humans of this country.
Today's Sauron Kingdom has the comprehensive strength of the four human countries, and it is a huge country of Cerros. They now have the ability to defeat the recalcitrant Saranids once and for all, and thus take a step forward in the unification of all mankind.
Thinking about it, the eldest grandson Wenwei touched the white beard on his chin, and coughed lightly a few times by the way.
There were other sycophant ministers next to him, but the eldest grandson Wenwei didn't want to pay attention to it. He was currently waiting for the king to arrive, so that he could tell him what he wanted to do next for Saran.
About two or three minutes later, the voice of the coming 'king' shocked all the ministers present. The eldest grandson, Wenwei, was naturally no exception, and he stood respectfully on both sides of the red carpet, waiting for the king to enter the palace.
Years of early dynasties had made these ministers a habit, and they all lined up their positions as if they had been foreshadowed.
While the two rows of ministers were making a respectful appearance, the king of Sauron finally walked in through the gate of the palace.
It was a young man under thirty years old, and he walked through the red carpet of the palace with the brown robe of the king. Although he is very young, he has the air of a king in his gestures.
I saw him standing tall and his hands behind his back. He seems to show the temperament of subservience to others with every step he takes.
This is the king of the kingdom of Sauron: the Winning State.
He has a face with extremely well-defined facial features, sword eyebrows, tiger eyes, and erect nostrils. Of course, the most striking feature of his face is the two splayed beards under his nose. This makes him, who is still quite young, show a little old sense of middle-agedness.
For the new king, who has just succeeded to the throne for a few years, the eldest grandson Wenwei still gives high affirmation. He believes that Winbang is not only a leader among human countries, but also a powerful leader even if he looks at any foreign country.
The eldest grandson, Wenwei, was extremely happy that the kingdom of Sauron could produce such a young and promising king. He has always believed that in the generation of Winning Countries, the Kingdom of Sauron can complete the mandate of unifying all mankind, and then challenge the Kingdom of Elia and other powerful nations that are also known as Celos.
'That's it!'
When Yingbang passed in front of him, the eldest grandson Wenwei couldn't help but nod at him.
King Yingbang should have noticed the old prime minister's move, and also responded with a slight nod.
After passing through the many ministers lined up on both sides, the king of Win Bang still walked to his throne. He walked slowly up the steps until he stopped at the throne.
All the ministers were looking at the king's back at the moment, looking forward to what his next move would be.
Then, Winbond did nothing. He just shook the sleeves of his robe, and then made a neat turn. The movements were extremely smooth, and he quickly sat down on the throne.
The rest of the ministers came to the throne one after another with peace of mind and made a rectangular procession.
"All the uncles and ministers have been waiting for a long time! I had some private things to do just now, which caused me to be a little late for this morning. I hope you can forgive me!"
At the moment when the ministers slapped the team, King Win Bang shook his hand and said this. He was expressionless and didn't feel any guilt. However, his tone was very sincere, giving people a real feeling of apology.
Many of the ministers who are sycophants are busy saying things like 'it's okay, it's okay,' and it's a bit out of breath.
"Since you don't think it matters!" King Win Bang immediately stood up again, not even a minute had passed since he had just sat down, "Then let's hurry up and start the morning pilgrimage!
The king's speech was very fast, and the whole was full of an elite flavor in it. He stood up and slowly walked down the steps in front of the throne. This was what he had always done, and he had never hated sitting on a throne waiting to hear the opinions of his ministers.
For Yingbang, he hopes to have close and face-to-face contact with those ministers, so as to bring the relationship between the monarch and the minister closer.
After completely walking down the steps, Yingbang stopped in front of the eldest grandson Wenwei. Looking at the old prime minister, King Yingbang personally helped him to support his body.
"Prime Minister Eldest Sun, you are so old, I will be thinking about it in the future...... Do you want you to come to the early pilgrimage? Then I will send someone to tell you all about the early pilgrimage!"
As soon as Yingbang's words fell, the rest of the ministers also sounded broken thoughts. I can hear that they still agree with the king's opinion, after all, the old prime minister is really a little old.
But the eldest grandson Wenwei immediately refused, he quickly raised his hand, and even stepped back, meaning to completely leave the king's support, "Alas! I can't say that! The old minister has spent countless mornings in this palace all his life, if I don't continue to stay here, but have to face the wall at home, I think it is better to let the old minister die directly!"
After that, the eldest grandson Wenwei also bowed shallowly.
King Yingbang's face was a little embarrassed, and after he also gave a bowing motion, he also put his hands together, "Ah! It's the junior I said the wrong thing! Uncle Prime Minister has always done his best for the country, how can he listen to politics at home!"
"The king can consider the body of the old minister, and there is nothing wrong with that! The old minister still thanks the king!" the eldest grandson Wenwei showed a long bow again.
Looking at the interaction of this one monarch and one minister, the other ministers were silent.
King Yingbang and Prime Minister Wenwei are the two most powerful people in the kingdom of Sauron, and their every word is often extremely symbolic.
After making a fist salute with both hands and pushing forward a few times, the Kingdom of Win Bang pursed its lips and walked forward. His posture has shifted to backhand mode, and his pace has become relatively fast.
"Okay then, let's start the meeting in earnest!Do the ministers have any opinions they would like to express?" When he finished asking this question, King Yingbang was almost at the gate of the palace at this moment.
However, Ying Bang asked straight to the point. But in fact, he did not leave time for the ministers to speak. As he turned and was about to walk towards the throne, he quickly picked up the question he had asked.
"I believe that everyone should already know about that without me talking!"
As soon as Ying Bang looked up, the faces of most of the ministers suddenly rose. As a result, after Yingbang passed by the ministers on both sides again, Yu Guang felt the sharp eyes of several important ministers.
The 'incident' in the mouth of the king of Win Bang naturally refers to the recent conflict with the country of Salan on the border.
"I can understand the feelings of the old marshal Lian Yunpo! Although he does have a feeling of going to war privately, he ...... The Salamians are also being a little too deceitful! Their former marshal infiltrated our military secrets, and even stationed troops on the border when we kept sending envoys to ask for an explanation! What is the purpose of the Saranids?"
King Winbang came to the end of the red carpet, and after looking at the throne on the steps, he slowly paced forward. Returning to the throne again, this time without any other exaggerated movements, he turned and sat down in a steady manner.
"Return to the country!" the eldest grandson Wenwei spoke, and he also began to walk out of the red carpet line. Because he held the position of prime minister, he himself was at the head of the line. And the moment he walked out, he was naturally the one closest to the throne.
King Win Bang nodded at him, and put both hands on the armrests on either side of the throne.
"The Salans have always been so shameless! They have never acknowledged history, and they have been slandering our Sauron country and saying that we are invading! Presumably, Marshal Lian really can't get used to them, so he decided to go to war! Therefore, the old minister thinks that Marshal Lian is not wrong in what he did! We in Shengyang City should respect these soldiers who went to the front line, instead of hiding in the rear and seriously injuring them!"
The eldest grandson Wenwei's speed of speech is relatively fast, and he doesn't feel like an old man at all. This is also his usual pattern, as long as he works, he will be completely rejuvenated.
"Oh?" the king of Winbang, seated on his throne, was indeed listening carefully. After a long time, he raised his hand again and shook it slightly, "What Prime Minister Changsun said is not wrong! I don't mean to blame Marshal Lian! I even support him to the extreme!"
King Win Bang's lips kept moving, as if he were a lifeless and manipulated puppet, "Why should we be polite to Saran if they don't know what to do!" That is, a few months ago, I remember that their generalissimo Yang Jiening, after just breaking into our secret military place, didn't we send chasing troops? Why didn't we chase people? I wondered, if we had chased them in the first place, would there have been no friction between the two countries?
"Your kindness, King, touches the heavens!" said one of the Sauron ministers who also walked from the procession to the red carpet, "but we must not deal with mercy to that country of Saran! Even if we catch up with that Yang Jiening, the government of their Qingcheng will definitely not admit their mistake!"
"Yes! This country just never admits mistakes, and it always reverses black and white like this!"
"Yes! I agree! For a country like Saran, it is necessary to use fists and force! It makes no sense to reason with them!"
When one minister started, many other ministers joined in the criticism of Saran.
King Win Bang listened to a series of scoldings from his ministers, which was what he wanted. Then, after adjusting his sitting position, he lifted one arm up.
The ministers knew that they were signaling to stop talking. So, they did keep their mouths shut.
Ying Bang stood up again, "Okay! I understand what everyone means! Actually, I really don't want to start any war. We in the country of Sauron have always loved peace and hope to bring light to this world. However, a very small number of people in certain countries have really been undermining the peace in our ancient East Asian region. So...... Alas, I can't help it!"
The hands were spread out, and Yingbang's eyes were drooping accordingly. His mouth was already open,
At this time, Prime Minister Wenwei, the eldest grandson under the steps of the throne, bowed his head and smiled again, he knew exactly what the king was going to say. Sure enough, in the end, Yingbang told the information that the prime minister wanted to get.
"In that case, let's go to war completely! Anyway, the Saranites are not ready to communicate with us, so why should we give them face?" Ying Bang pointed to one of the ministers, the bearded man, who was the quartermaster officer, "Give me an order! Tell Marshal Lian to get ready and officially launch a legitimate counterattack against the Saran! As for his previous sneak attack, he is not to blame in the past!"
That's what King Win Bang said.
