Chapter 20 Demacia, another day
Imperial capital of Demacia, Vantican, Duke's Palace of Graheid.
In the council hall of the Grahid family, the heads of the descendants and the side lines gathered together, but everyone's faces were covered with gloomy clouds, and many people looked at the side seat from time to time with resentful eyes, where were two young people who were constantly communicating, they were the Alves and Alex brothers, and the two brothers also looked solemn at the moment, talking from time to time and shaking their heads from time to time.
Sitting on the main seat was the patriarch of the Graheid family, Old Nance, his eyes narrowed slightly, but he had already seen the expressions of everyone in the room, and he couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart, it seems that today's situation is really difficult to deal with.
"Patriarch! The soldiers of the right manager have surrounded this place, and there is not much time left for us, so hurry up and make a decision!! It can't be because of the two brothers, let our entire Grahide family accompany the funeral, right?? ”
The first to stand up and attack was an old man of about fifty years old who was sitting in the third seat on the left.
Old Nance turned his head and found that this was his cousin, and he was also the director of the Imperial Capital's Finance and Taxation Department, and his branch was also the most powerful branch in the Grahide family, except for Old Nance's lineage, and it was not surprising that he was provoking this topic at this moment.
"Yes! Patriarch! His Majesty can be regarded as benevolent and righteous, he not only exempted Alves and Alex from the punishment of disrespect, but also decided to hand over the Imperial Guard Division and the Qinwang Border Army to the two of them, which is completely dependent on our family, and we should save the empire from fire and water at this time of crisis!! ”
Another person stood up and said with righteousness and awe.
Old Nance glanced sideways, and the person who stood up newly was the child of his second uncle's family, and one of his cousins, who was currently the transfer officer of the imperial capital, and one of the staunch supporters of Scott, the right manager.
"Yes, Patriarch! This is not only a matter of our family, but also a major event involving the national fortune of the entire empire! ”
"On the one hand, there is glory and wealth, and on the other hand, there is a sword and axe, patriarch, hurry up and make a decision!"
"Please make a quick decision from the patriarch!!"
"That's right! I also support the proposal of the second family. ”
A group of people began to echo the proposal of the two in front of them, putting pressure on Old Nance and the two behind him.
Old Nance took a deep breath, as if he was brewing something, but before he could speak, another old man stood up first, pointed at Alex, blew his beard and glared at him.
"Alex! You bastard boy! The elders are talking about important things, and you are still talking crookedly to Alves about something, you both stand up for me, and hurry up and make a statement! Things are imminent, why are you two still like no one! ”
The last man to stand up was officially Alex's father, and also the younger brother of Old Nance, Lord Marquis of Reims.
Seeing that his own brothers were on the other side, Old Nance's eyes, which had been slightly open, narrowed slightly.
"Daddy! What do I say? The 600,000 army surrounds our imperial capital on three sides, and now there are only 50,000 guards in the imperial capital in the city, even if you add the tens of thousands of people from the Public Security Bureau and the Royal Guard, it is less than 100,000, let our two brothers use 100,000 people to touch the 600,000 army, this is not a war, this is death! If you want to die, that bastard Scott should try it himself! ”
Alex stood up, pursed his lips, and said, looking a little disdainful.
"You bastard, you eat the king's luck, worry about the king, you are the dignified general of Demacia, our Grahide family has stood from the founding of the country to the present, relying on outstanding military exploits, what are you? Lost momentum before the war?? How could I give birth to a bastard like you, I'll whip you to death! ”
Marquis Reims was trembling with Alex's anger, and he kicked away his chair and was about to go up to smoke Alex, but was pulled by several other clan peers beside him.
"Second uncle, Alex's analysis is not wrong, if the 200,000 border troops still exist before the northern defense line is breached, I and Alex can temporarily delay the rebels' offensive if we lead the troops, but now, there is really nothing to be done. Unless...... Ay...... Don't mention it, it's really a villain who misled the country and ruined me Demacia!! ”
Alves sighed lightly, the current Demacian army has long since collapsed, not to mention that there are only 100,000 soldiers in the city, even if there are 500,000 people, it is not enough to resist the rebels who are in full swing and are like wolves. At this moment, if that person is there, the situation must be different, only he can work miracles, but unfortunately, there is no if...... Alves's mind once again appeared in the majestic figure, General Chen Yin.
"Alves, what do you mean unless? Is it referring to that person? Do you think he can still work miracles in this situation? ”
At this time, the old Nance who had been closing his eyes and meditating opened his eyes and looked solemnly at his son, Alves.
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
Almost at the same time, the brothers Alex and Alves straightened their chests and said in unison.
"I remember that the super teleportation array in our Great Fence Military Town still exists, if we use the Thunderhawk Express to send information to Noxus in the eastern part of the continent, do you think that person will come back to save us Demacia?"
Since Demacia's intelligence network had long been destroyed by the rebels, Old Nance didn't know that the war on Noxus' side had been over for many days, and he took it for granted that Chen Yin was still in Noxus, leading the army to fight against the Void Monsters.
"Definitely! The premise is that our Majesty is willing to pull down and ask for it! After all, he was the one who made the general angry in the first place! ”
"That's right! I'm sure of it too! As long as the general can come back, even if he is the only one who comes back, the 100,000 stragglers in the city are enough to resist the 600,000 rebels outside the city! The general alone is better than a million lions, he is the heart and soul of our Demacia! ”
Hearing the same reply from the Alves brothers, Old Nance was moved, he had been comfortable for too long, and he had already worn out the heroic ambition on the battle array, but he still knew what the military spirit and military spirit meant to ordinary soldiers.
"Hey...... Okay, I'll pull down this old face and go to the palace to see if I can change Your Majesty's mind and ask General Chen Yin to come back to save us from our current predicament. However, you two must also promise me one thing, now you hurry to report to the right chief, and temporarily lead the whole city to be on guard. Even if it's delayed, it has to be delayed until the moment when Chen Yin can come back! ”
Seeing that the general was expected to return, the brothers Alex and Alves did not hesitate this time, and immediately nodded in agreement.
Hearing a few words from the old duke, he settled the stubborn two brothers, and everyone in the hall couldn't help but sigh one after another.
Soon after, a luxurious carriage and a team of more than ten people drove out of the Duke's Palace, and the luxurious carriage went straight to the palace, and the team of more than ten people, led by the soldiers outside the door, entered the right governor's palace.
When Old Nance arrived at the palace, he waited for a long time, but did not see Gavin IV, but waited for Scott, the right governor.
Scott was very happy to hear that the two of them were willing to guard the military power of the imperial capital in the palace, but after a while, someone hurried from the palace to report to him that old Nance was in the palace asking to see His Majesty, Scott was surprised, so he hurried from the palace to the palace.
At this moment, all the key positions in the palace have basically been occupied by Scott's subordinates, and Gavin IV is busy studying music and rhythm with Sona in the palace almost every day, and he has not heard of the government for several months, he is equivalent to being completely emptied by Scott, Gavin IV still does not know that the rebel army has occupied two-thirds of the entire territory of Demacia, and the imperial capital Vantican is like a small island hanging alone in the sea of rebels, and maybe it will be overwhelmed by the turbulent rebel waves at any moment.
"Master Zuo, I heard that you plan to ask to see Your Majesty, do you have any important things to tell you?"
Scott slowly came to the chair on the side of Old Nance and sat down to ask.
Old Nance was not surprised to see Scott, he seemed to have known that he would not be able to meet Jiawen IV this time, and after taking a sip of tea, Old Nance told the Alves brothers' inferences about the defense of the imperial capital, and clearly pointed out that the current situation, unless His Majesty personally apologized and respectfully asked General Chen Yin to return, no one could solve the crisis. After relaying these words, Old Nance surrendered to Scott, leaving Scott with not many options, he either chose to bury the imperial capital together, or he would not do anything to Chen Yin after his return, as for how Scott communicated with Jiawen IV, it was none of the business of Old Nance, it was best that His Majesty slaughtered Scott in anger, and then invited Chen Yin back under humiliation, that was the best ending.
It's a pity that Old Nance doesn't know how big Scott's ambitions are, Scott has already regarded Demacia as his bag, and he has even prepared a stand-in for Gavin IV, so even if it really angers Gavin IV this time, Scott already has an alternative.
After Old Nance left, Scott called all his henchmen and began to arrange various matters one by one to deal with the next possible changes.
Subsequently, an elite army of about 1,000 soldiers quietly arrived in the palace.
At this time, Gavin IV is holding an oboe and playing a melodious tune with Suanna.
"Your Majesty, Lord Scott begs to see!!"
A palace maid walked into the porch pavilion in the back garden and spoke softly.
Suddenly, the ensemble was interrupted, which made Gawain IV look unhappy, and he glared at the palace maid fiercely, ignored her, and continued to play the oboe in his hand.
However, the sound of Suanna's piano stopped, she put her hands on the guqin "Hua", her big smart eyes looked at Jiawen IV intently, and shook her head slightly.
After getting along for a long time, Sauna's eyes, Jiawen IV could also understand its meaning, so he had to stop too, and said to the palace maid impatiently, "Let Scott wait for me in the side hall, and I will go over in a while!" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." The palace maid hurriedly retreated.
"Sana, I'll ask that guy what's going on, and after I'm done, I'll come back and play this new song we created together, waiting for me."
"Someone!! Go to the side hall! ”
After Gavin IV said this, Sana nodded.
However, when Sana found out that after Jiawen IV called the servants, the two people who came in from outside the courtyard were not the two palace maids she was familiar with, but two palace guards, Sana couldn't help frowning, she quietly watched Jiawen IV was slowly pushed out of the courtyard by these two, Suona also stood up with "Hua" in her arms, she wanted to find someone to ask where the two palace maids who often served her went.
When Sana reached the gate of the back garden, she was stopped by four Praetorian Guards standing guard.
"Everyone, we have received an order, please don't wander around at this moment, you can go back to the apse and wait for Your Majesty."
Sana frowned again, these were also the four Praetorian Guards, and besides, there seemed to be a smell on their bodies.
Since losing her voice, Sauna's senses of sight, hearing, and smell are extremely sensitive, and when her gaze shifted to the cuff of one of the Praetorian Guards, she immediately saw a shocking blood stain, and when she looked at the other three Praetorian Guards, their bodies and sleeves were also more or less stained with blood droplets, and it turned out that the strange smell was the bloody smell of blood.
Surprised, Suona turned pale, she hugged the guqin tightly with a panicked face, and began to retreat step by step.
The alert Praetorian Guard followed Suanna's gaze to his cuff, and when he noticed the obvious bloodstain, the Praetorian Guard immediately roared.
"Stop me!! She saw it and we caught her!! ”
With that, the man drew his knife and rushed towards Suona, followed by the other three Praetorian Guards.
"Zheng~~"
With a crisp sound of strings, the four Praetorian Guards who had attacked Sana stiffened for a moment, and then slowly split into two parts.
Suona endured the acid water in her stomach, and rushed out of the back garden with the guqin in her arms, she wanted to save the kind and gentle His Majesty Jiawen, because he lost his legs, if there was really a rebellion in the palace, he would not be able to escape without losing his legs.
"Scott! You bastard!! You asked me to apologize to Chen Yin? Please ask him to come back? Do you still know what you're talking about? Do you want to die!! ”
At this time, Gavin IV was in the side hall patting the armrest of his wheelchair and was furious, and he knelt down in front of Scott, who looked indifferent.
"Your Majesty, please calm down! If you don't want to be the king of the fallen country, it's best to ask General Chen Yin to return, because the current danger of the Demacian rebels can only be relieved by General Chen Yin! ”
"The danger of the rebels?? Didn't the rebels all cower in the northern provinces and be beaten into shrunken turtles by our soldiers? What is the crisis? Are you stupid!! ”
"Hehe~ Your Majesty, it's not me who is stupid, it's you. The rebels had already blocked the three main roads outside the imperial capital, and the main force of the rebels would arrive under the imperial capital in about three to four days. We have 400,000 troops in the northern province have already been broken up by the rebels, and the 200,000 border troops on the northern defense line have also been wiped out, and the rebels have occupied two-thirds of the entire territory of Demacia, and now our troops are only left with these 100,000 soldiers in the imperial capital. ”
Scott watched the more and more angry Jiawen IV, his expression became more and more disdainful, he had endured this dead cripple for a long time, since the dead cripple was disobedient, Scott decided to replace it with the obedient puppet, the big deal was that after Chen Yin returned, he took the initiative to resign to avoid the limelight, anyway, the puppet was in his own hands, and when Chen Yin was gone, he could be reinstated.
"Scott, you are so bold that you dare to hide such a big thing from me! I'll kill you!! Come on, come on, give me this bastard to pieces! ”
Jiawen IV's eyes were already blood-red with anger, he really didn't expect that Demacia's domestic situation had been eroded to this point, and the rebels were about to destroy Demacia, and he didn't know anything, Jiawen IV's heart was full of unwillingness, remorse, and endless hatred at this moment.
However, even if Jiawen IV shouted through his throat, the entire side hall was still quiet, and Scott, who was kneeling in Jiawen IV, also stood up leisurely and began to look at him with disdain, which made Jiawen IV's whole body cold, and bursts of bitterness filled his heart, it turned out that all the palace had fallen into the hands of this villain?
"Your Majesty, it seems that you seem to understand something...... That's good, I won't explain much, okay, let's all come out! ”
"Smack, smack!"
Scott smiled and slapped his palms a few times.
A large group of Praetorian Guards armed with swords appeared from under the curtains, instantly crowding the side hall, and at the side door, two Praetorian Guards pushed a person to slowly come to the main hall.
Not only does this man have a wheelchair with the same style as that of Jarvin IV, but his appearance is ninety percent similar to Gawain IV.
"Scott! I'm really blind...... I can't believe that you are taking such pains! Even my stand-in is ready, ha, hahaha......"
Jiawen IV looked at the soldiers who were staring at him, and suddenly began to laugh wildly, and the whole person seemed to go crazy.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy and support! In order to repay Your Majesty's kindness, Minister, I respectfully ask Your Majesty to return to heaven!! ”
Scott smiled gently, but his words were vicious.
As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen guards armed with sharp blades raised their knives and slashed at Gawain IV, who was in a wheelchair. 2k reading web
