The news that the Palchi army had captured the fortresses of Anmen and Port Carter and annihilated the Arubanian fleet was like a thunderbolt, which shook the Arubanian court with a bang and crumbled. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

No one could have imagined that overnight the Bay of Pass would cease to be in the hands of Arubania, and even worse would be the fall of the fortress of Amen and Port Carter, which held the Bay of Pass, not only to the land stronghold of the Palchi army, but also to the supply depots of its navy. With these two strongholds, no one in the entire coast of Pas Bay can be guaranteed to be safe, including the royal capital of Basrady.

And the one who was most shocked by them was, of course, King Dicar II. And the reason why Dicar II was so shaken was not all because of Arubania's defeat, but because he knew about it early on.

On the night of the defeat, Dikar II secretly summoned Zaibilius Urdas, the first time in several months that he had taken the initiative to summon the former drinking friend. As Dicar II had expected, Bilyuurdas walked up to him with a look of triumph on his face and saluted, "See Your Majesty. ”

"No need to be polite," Dikal said, waving his hand, "Sure enough, you said it, Pyruldas." ”

Biliuurdas replied: "Now Your Majesty believes that what Wechen said that day was not alarmist. ”

Dikar gritted his teeth and said, "It's incredible, can that Nisinis really be a prophet?" ”

"I'm afraid we have to believe this fact, Your Majesty. As she had predicted, the flames from the south turned to the east, burning the eastern gateway of the empire, and the edges of the empire would be burned with the flames, and the king's crown would be in danger of being burned. If this is the case, then the other prophecies she has made will come true, and even if you don't want to believe it, Your Majesty, you must at least guard against it. ”

Dikar II did not answer. To be honest, he really didn't want to believe Nisinis's prophecy. Although Biliuurdas repeatedly claimed that the witch knew everything about herself, especially some of the unknown details, it could never have been deceived by inquiring in advance; Although she had predicted and confirmed Li Tianhao's attack, Dikar still didn't want to believe that what she said was true. Because if you believe her, it means admitting that you have made an unforgivable mistake, which not only leads the wolf into the house, but also plunges Arubania into a catastrophe on the brink of destruction, and all the kings of the Arubanian dynasty may not find a monarch greater than his own mistake.

"You're right, the widow does have doubts about her prophecy, after all, her prophecy is only half fulfilled." Dikar finally spoke: "If Li Tianhao really kills the city of Baslardy, I can really believe it." ”

Biliuurdas sighed, and the excitement when he came in just now had faded by half: "Your Majesty, since Your Majesty said so, then Wechen can't say anything more, but for the sake of Your Majesty's safety, please allow Wechen to take corresponding precautions to ensure that Your Majesty is safe." ”

"Your loyal widow knows it very well, but don't meddle in that matter for the time being, otherwise it may exacerbate the conflict. The widow will arrange it, so you don't have to worry too much. ”

"Your Majesty"

"Don't worry, Bilyuurdas, the widow is not so confused that he can let the Biren make a reversal of fate!"

"Yes, so Weichen retired first." Like a defeated rooster, Pyruldaz saluted and withdrew.

Dikar reached out and picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it in one gulp. Although he forcibly stopped Biliuurdas's attempt to seize power, Dikal could not calm down. Since the dismissal of Adlem, in order to curb the excessive power of Biliuurdas, he has allowed Sulla's power to rise to counterbalance it. If the weight is added to Biliuurdas at this time, the situation may indeed fall to Biliuurdas's side, but this is tantamount to giving Sulla and his party a warning that they are likely to lie dormant and re-plan after they perceive their intentions, so they may not be able to perceive what their true purpose is. Moreover, it is also necessary to prevent the possibility of Biliuurdas deliberately spreading rumors to seize power.

It seems that he will have to step up his actions and pay close attention to the movements of these two sides. Thinking of this, he clapped his palms and summoned a maid: "Go, send a decree to Lord Bobo to meet you." ”

"Yes." The maid said yes and withdrew.

Dikar already knew that Bu Bo was now a member of Sulla's party, but he also knew that Bu Bo would at least not lose the sense of responsibility that a military general should have. As the supreme commander of the Basradian garrison, he would defend the city with all his might in the event of a foreign invasion of the royal capital. Moreover, starting from the interests of his master Sulla, he would not want Li Tianhao to enter the city of Basradi, the interests of both sides are the same, and they can fully trust Bo Bo at this point, and at the same time, it can be regarded as adding some weight to Sulla's party.

Just as he was thinking about it, a maid said outside the door: "Niangniang sent a slave and maid, may I ask when Your Majesty will rest in Niangniang's palace today?" ”

Dikar couldn't help but feel moved when he heard this: if he suddenly became cold to Sulla at this moment, it would definitely attract unnecessary suspicion, and as a king, of course, he couldn't lose a big thing because of a small thing, at least for the time being, it was best to maintain the balance of power between the two sides. He replied immediately: "Tell Niangniang that today's affairs are a little tricky, and I will go to her to rest after the widow meets with a few important ministers." ”

"Yes." The maid withdrew.

Dikar II stroked his beard and began to think about how to negotiate the defense of Basradis with him when he arrived, and at the same time to take advantage of the opportunity to plant his own eyeliner by his side. It wasn't easy, and even if Popos didn't notice it for a while, it would be hard to hide it from Sulla's eyes. In the past few years with this woman, her intelligence is indeed amazing, it would be nice if her wisdom could be completely used for herself, but unfortunately people can hardly resist the temptation of power, and now Sulla's heart is probably not how to capture her heart, but how to control the ministers in the court, how to send her son Diomas to the throne of the king.

"General Bobo asks to be seen before His Majesty."

This sentence interrupted Dicar's thoughts, and he perked himself up and prepared for this new meeting.
