239 The Emperor's Tale

Edward was the second son of William IV of the Desik royal family. Second, every aristocratic family in the mainland is a very aggrieved existence. The title of the family is generally not your turn, you can only choose to be a squire to a familiar noble family, if there is no particularly big achievement, the knight lord is generally the best ending for your future.

Fortunately, Edward was different, he was a royal family, the ruler of the northern power of Desik, he didn't have to go to the small lord's house as an attendant, and his father William IV disliked his eldest brother, Ferdinand, who was a little less motivated. So Edward received the strictest royal education from an early age, and he has always been the good boy in the mouth of William IV.

Since he was a child, Edward fantasized that he could become a brave knight, but the reality made him very depressed, and he was almost the shortest in the royal family, and his health was always not good. When he was twenty years old, in the martial arts arena, as a royal child, he was stabbed off his horse by a country knight who didn't know where he came from in the first round of the competition.

From then on, Edward knew that he probably couldn't be a mighty knight in his life. His eldest brother, Prince Ferdinand, kindly came over to comfort him, it doesn't matter if he can't become a knight, he is not a knight, he can't even beat a guard. After saying that, Ferdinand left with the newly hooked noble lady who didn't know which family. Edward secretly made up his mind in his heart that no matter what, he would never live worse than Ferdinand in this life.

There is an old saying that "when God closes a door for you, it will naturally open a window." This old saying, which he read when he was young, has since become Edward's credo. He found that although he was not fit to be a knight, he had a clever hairless head.

Since he was a child, Edward could quickly remember what he looked at, and when he was learning military strategy, his reaction was even faster than those knight instructors, and every time the exam question came out, it only took a moment for Edward to find the optimal solution. At the time of the military deduction, after the age of twenty-five, no one in the entire Desik country could no longer defeat him.

Such an extraordinary talent naturally attracted the attention of those generals in Desik's country. The previous head of the Desik Military Joint Council ~ "General Wadsey" discovered Edward's ability and personally took Edward as an apprentice and took him with him to teach carefully. Following in the footsteps of General Wadsey, Edward was able to go in and out of the "base camp" as a young man to serve on Desik's military.

Gradually, Edward grew from a teenager to a young man, and from a young man to an adult. Then, the figure gradually became fatter, and the hair on the head became thinner. But in his head, more and more content, knowledge and even ideas are stored. From the age of twenty-five to forty, Edward changed from youth to middle age, and his identity changed from the second prince of the empire to Duke Edward. In his family, Prince Ferdinand became Prince Ferdinand, and his father, William IV, added a younger brother to Bazemore. And he himself, addicted to military affairs, even the marriage was arranged by the court affairs officer.

Edward's wife is a low-key woman from the "family" of Desik's ancient family, and when she was eighteen years old, she witnessed the "tragic story" of Edward being stabbed off his horse by a country knight in a martial arts competition. She didn't look down on Edward in the slightest, but fell in love with this royal child at first sight. With the help of the court officials, she eventually married Edward and became a noble duchess.

It's just a trick, who knows, the former Duchess is now the queen of Desik.

When Edward was forty years old, General Wadsey died, and at this time, Edward was already the chief of staff of the base camp, that is, the Military Joint Council, and was almost an excellent candidate for General Wadsey's successor. Of course, William IV would not have objections, no matter what, Edward was also a royal child, and it would not hurt the royal family for such an important position to be occupied by Edward.

At the age of forty, Edward officially became the supreme commander of the Desik army, and all Desik troops were required to obey his orders in the absence of His Majesty the Emperor. Untyed from his shackles, Duke Edward began to have a wider space to show his talents. In just a few years, in the friction between Desik and other countries, Duke Edward's shadow can be seen behind the scenes. In fact, everyone in the base camp knows that the chief of staff of the base camp has basically been weak since Duke Edward took office as the lord~, and almost all the battle plans are formulated by him himself and then supplemented by everyone.

The Chief of Staff did not have any objection to this, after all, the plan that Edward came up with was always the most perfect plan. Just like the "Barbarossa Plan", the military combat operation that made Edward famous in one fell swoop, was praised by the generals of Desik across the country, and everyone admired Duke Edward as a genius military strategist.

Originally, Edward would stay in the position of the chairman ~ of the Military Joint Council, and the commander of the Desic army would stick to the country, at most cross the border from time to time to create some small frictions with other countries. For him, the genius plans in his mind, the actions that would bring both San Jose and the Merchant League to their knees and beg for mercy, were nothing more than patterns on paper.

However, reality played a joke on everyone. Prince Ferdinand, Edward's eldest brother and natural heir to the throne of Desik, was ruthlessly assassinated by the Assassins of the Dark Rising Empire in the Shang Alliance. Edward found that the noble "Kaiser" throne of the Desik royal family was beckoning to him, and he began to have a chance to achieve his grand goals in the future.

When the darkness rises, when this mysterious organization first comes to the door, Duke Edward is still in a trance, "Should I thank you?" Such questions lingered in his mind, but in the end he said "Did you assassinate my eldest brother?"

The entire country of Desik has a deep hatred for magic due to historical reasons, and except for a few families with a deep heritage, magic is forbidden in the entire Desik country. If a dark mage is discovered, they will face a severe strangulation by the Desik army. However, the dark mages of the Rise of Darkness really stood in front of them and proposed a series of cooperation agreements, which made Duke Edward a little hesitant.

The Dark Rising People are not just a dark mage organization, they have reached the limit of their control over people's hearts. Duke Edward never felt as if he had been stripped naked and fully appreciated, and the slightest desire in his heart was so grandly discussed by the dark magicians.

"We will help you ascend to the throne as soon as possible, help you defeat the Shang Alliance and the San Jose Army, and help you complete and make up for what you think is a genius plan that is difficult to achieve......" The dark mage's proposal was completely impossible to refuse, Duke Edward trembled his hands, and it took a long time to hold back a sentence, "Then what do you want?"

The Dark Mage laughed, "Introduce myself, I'm the leader of the Dark Rising Black Dragon Society, Arthur. This is Elby, the chief magician of Dark Rising and the deputy of the Patriarch. On behalf of Dark Rising, we formally offer to work with you. ”

Dark Rising's help isn't indefinite, and in that Arthur's words, Dark Rising has its own goals. If one day in the future, when the Dark Rising is going to accomplish its goal, they will pull away. But don't worry, this time won't be very close.

Time was running out, and from then on, Duke Edward began to carry out his own plans: from assassinating General Jin to eliminate dissidents, to strangling William IV to ascend to the throne, and even organizing a large army to raid South Madur, attack the Dunkirk Bridge, and attack the port of Minethil to land on San Jose. The war was carried out one by one along with the map and planner of the Duke of Edward's study.

From the beginning of his ascension to the throne, Duke Edward could no longer personally lead his troops into battle, but fortunately, his trusted subordinates, whether it was General Hans, General Florian, or the newly defected General Jim and General Heinrich, they were all following in their footsteps, advancing step by step, and making their own efforts to achieve the goal of the Desik Empire's domination of the continent.

Just as Edward VI was complacent, the Dark Rising suddenly came to him: "Your Majesty the Emperor Desik, according to our agreement, we will help you until our own plan is implemented. Well, it's time to say goodbye, my majesty. ”

Although he had been prepared, Edward VI was still a little depressed at this time, and the war was at a critical juncture, and it seemed that Desik had a great advantage in all battlefields but could not win them all, and at this time, the magicians who rose from darkness were leaving.

But in the next second, the resolute Edward VI regained his strength, "Yes, who am I, I am Desik's most genius military strategist in so many years, I am Desik's emperor." I have the ability, I have the resources, and I will be able to conquer the continent even without the rise of darkness. "After sending off the members of Dark Rising, Emperor Edward VI of Desik, immediately summoned his generals and officials and announced an order:

"The war in San Jose dragged on for too long, Hans, Heinrich and Manstein, they didn't do it well enough. San Jose is strong enough, and they are not capable enough. Then, maybe there is only one way to defeat San Jose once and for all. ”

White Rock City in spring is still much colder than in the south, and the heavy snow and ice edges have not completely melted. The long line was coming out of Desik White Rock City, and countless Steppenwolves lined up to lead the way. The warrior of the wasteland with a scimitar at his waist, guarding a huge Steppenwolf banner of the royal family of Desik, slowly left the city.

The civilians all over the city cheered, it was their Emperor Majesty. I heard that the empire was at war with the Shang Alliance and San Jose at the same time, and gained a large amount of land. Perhaps in the near future, after the war is over, they will be able to move to warmer places and cultivate the fertile land.

Looking at the White Rock City that gradually disappeared behind him, Edward VI was full of confidence, maybe this time, he would achieve the great goal of his life.
