Chapter 424: Our Goal Is ......
The Imperial City of Julianne.
With the help of Sivi and them, the Empress of Ilian and her cronies once again stepped into the palace that belonged to them.
The palace, which had been noble and imposing, was in shambles, with wood chips and stone fragments everywhere on the ground, as well as the remains of some ornaments.
There was not a single sound in the huge palace, as if there was not even a living thing, and the only evidence that anyone had ever been here was probably the bloodstain in the corner that could not be found without looking closely.
"Report to Her Majesty the Empress, the traitors are gone."
General Rust, who had armed himself into a tin can, after hearing the report of the return of his men who had been sent to search for the enemy, walked up to Queen Julianne and got down on one knee to report.
"Sure enough, these guys have some kind of way of knowing the life and death of their companions."
Xiwei, who was standing behind the empress, touched his chin: "I escaped quite quickly." β
"The queen mother, although this time Andrew. Terra has escaped, but there's no guarantee that they'll ever come back. β
Evangeline frowned and said to her mother, "Sivi...... It is impossible for Mr. Dean to stay here all the time, just with the strength of the Imperial Capital's armed forces, I'm afraid he has no ability to deal with this at all, right? β
Rust, who was kneeling in front of the empress, glanced at the eldest princess with some reluctance, but given that what the girl said was not wrong at all, he couldn't refute it - if Lady Sharon was still there, it would be okay to say, but now Andrew's high-level magician strength is indeed far beyond the limit of these mortals, even if the group of dead houses in the Imperial Capital Qiyao Mage Tower are willing to make a move, they may not be able to win. What's more, there is now a witch dressed as a maid next to that guy and her strength is unknown......
"Evan, what do you mean?" The Empress lifted the hem of her sumptuous skirt and turned to the maiden and asked.
"Move the capital."
Evangeline and her mother looked at each other and said, "It can be in the mountain town of Govin Hora or a few of the surrounding cities, as long as it is within the influence of Edric, we will soon be able to help." β
"Your Majesty, please think twice!" Rust immediately shouted: "Even in the era of orc invasion and turmoil in the empire, Julianne has never set such a precedent!" Besides......"
Halfway through speaking, Rust raised his head and glanced at Sivi with some wariness.
His meaning is also obvious: although moving the capital there can indeed remove the hidden danger of the comeback of the rebels. But who knows if the Adric Academy will interfere in the affairs of the Empire. Or even directly elevate the upper echelons of the empire and use it as its own puppet?
"Enough Rust." The Empress of Ilian immediately spoke up, "Mr. Edric, please forgive Rust for his rudeness. β
Although it looks like she is scolding Rust, anyone with eyes can tell that she is actually trying to shelter the other party.
"It doesn't matter. Your Majesty, Your Majesty. Sivi said in a good moment, "Magicians don't pay attention to the eyes of the world. β
The speculation of this stupid and bold general. Sivi didn't mind muchβhe dared to be suspicious of a great magician (though it hadn't been announced yet). And said bluntly to his face, although there is no guarantee that this guy has any talents, but there is no problem with this loyalty that puts life and death out of bounds. You must know that it is not much more laborious to crush him than to crush an ant.
But you can't always go to someone else's house as a guest. The dog barks at you a few times, and you can just kill it......
"So General Rust, what do you think should be done with Andrew? What about Terra? β
Sivi didn't squeak, and Evangeline asked a little aggressively.
"We can ask for the support of the King's Council first, and there is a righteous name for expelling the orcs from the human race, and they will definitely respond." Rust must have considered this as well, and replied without hesitation.
"No kidding, those who are afraid of death will never use elite and high-ranking magicians as support!"
Evangeline immediately retorted.
Evangeline, who had been to the King's Council several times since two years ago as a diplomat of Julianne, naturally knew the pot-bellied kings very well, and the way of thinking of these guys was no different from that of the short-sighted little nobles in the country.
"That's right, it's because it's not their core force that we have the opportunity to disrupt it and improve our own military strength."
Rust began to talk eloquently: "Even if it is only a symbolic support, the number of troops will not be less than 30,000, the number of orc invasions is about 300,000 at present, and the number of enemies we are directly facing is about 120,000, but because of the inexplicable disappearance of 50,000 of them, the number of enemies we actually deal with is only 70,000 at present. Even if only half of the 30,000 people can be recruited, the military strength of 15,000 people is enough to do a lot of things! β
"But those things don't include resistance or even the capture of Andrew, do they?"
Evangeline sharply picked at the other man's words.
"Actually, I have something to report to Her Majesty the Empress."
Rust directly ignored the question of the former eldest princess, and instead said to the empress, who was probably thinking about what to do and frowned.
"What's the matter?" The Empress also asked cooperatively.
"Actually, Lord Sharon didn't die!"
Rust removed his breastplate and took out a crumpled piece of parchment from his chest and presented it to Empress Ilian: "The reason why His Majesty was able to escape with His Majesty before Andrew was attacked was actually because of Lord Sharon's warning!" β
His words caused an uproar.
And Evangeline suddenly remembered the paper crane she received when she was under house arrest in disguise.
"Just hold on until Lord Sharon returns, Andrew. Terra isn't a problem! β
"Yu understood." Empress Julianne carefully exchanged the parchment paper to Rust, and then bowed slightly to Xiwei with a waist bend of no more than ten degrees: "Yu is the empress of Julian, so naturally she can't leave her people and run to a safe place, so Yu will continue to stay in the imperial capital." β
She knew very well that her daughter couldn't make her own decisions, and eighty percent of them were authorized by Xiwei to pull her to move the capital there, so the object of Dao Lu's apology was not Evanterine but Xiwei.
"......Shh It's so righteous and awe-inspiring, didn't you go to Lovenia before? A student not far away, eavesdropping on them, muttered softly.
"But the queen mother ......"
Evangeline looked anxious and wanted to say something, she always had a bad premonition about it, but she was interrupted by Sivi reaching out.
"It's okay, since it's the empress's own decision, we can't interfere more."
He said with a light expression on his face: "We still have something to do, so we will leave." β
After saying that, the sound of a magic ship slowly landing could be heard in the sky......
In fact, Sivi didn't give any instructions at all, it was entirely because of Evangeline's plea that she agreed to temporarily shelter the royal family of Julian, and it was a rare opportunity to get rid of this burden, and if she didn't run now, she would wait for when!
Evangeline could only sigh and follow Sivi to the magic ship.
So after Edric and the others left on the magic ship, only the wide-eyed Empress Julianne and her party were left behind...... (To be continued......)
