Chapter 13: The Night of Karaksives
The night of the Dreaded Wasteland was so quiet, and the breeze carrying the scent of amber was so gentle. The crisp chirping of insects www.biquge.info the Pen Fun Pavilion rises and falls around the sacred tree of Kepa, and the palace of the Mantis people is so majestic, with countless loyal guards guarding their queen.
Outside the palace gates, the mighty walls of the brave guards were still impassable, and even the thousands of rebels in front of them could not be moved even a step. And deep inside the palace, a group of despicable villains are trying to coerce their empress.
"Your Majesty the Great Empress, that vile and shameless villain of Voltus has betrayed our great mantis man. That fool usually gains the trust of Her Majesty through deception and flattery, but in reality he is a high-flying guy on the outside but narrow-minded on the inside. This time he used your trust to come to his ulterior purpose, and now his true colors have been revealed. He has already taken refuge in our sworn enemies, the Mogus, and the Titans, the usurpers. Completely reversing black and white, Hiledi wantonly slandered Voltés, who was far away in the sky, while his accomplices responded with fuel and vinegar on the side.
"His actions are a betrayal to you, to the entire Mantis people, and to the God we believe in. If you order me to be the vanguard of this abominable traitor and return for a felony, please think twice about it. ”
"Yes, Her Majesty. This traitor used his despicable means to steal the credit that belonged to someone else at the coming-of-age ceremony, and the victim was here. One of the fellows also pulled his accomplice to the front so that the Empress could see his face.
"You see, this scar was left by that despicable villain, and at that time he was just trying to get justice, but he didn't expect to be discarded by that villain."
"That's right, and in every subsequent battle, that bastard cowered back and bloodied our valiant warriors, until the end of the battle when he took away their glory without shame. This is true, this is the news provided by the bastard's soldiers, you can rest assured that he has been strictly protected by me. ”
Looking at the aggressive little people in front of her, the emotions of shock, pain, sorrow and weakness kept coming to the Empress's face. Now she is as helpless and pitiful as a little girl with no master, which makes the Hilledi gang even more emboldened to slander them as a thorn in their side.
When these arrogant fools thought they were about to win, no one noticed the contempt and murderous intent hidden in the Empress's eyes. And at this time, another protagonist of the script appears next to the empress.
"Enough! You impudent people, don't you see that Her Majesty is sleepy? A strong voice roared from the mouth of the Grand Prime Minister Areros, interrupting the group of villains' false accusations.
"Prime Minister Arelos, don't rely on you to be lawless. You will no longer be able to protect that despicable villain this time, because you are not qualified to continue as Prime Minister for the crime of shielding. Your place will be taken by me, and we will receive the Empress's favor. "The frenzied Hiledi gang succeeded in pushing themselves onto the broken bridge called Death.
"Enough! I've got my own mind on this. Now I'm tired, go down! Like a frightened rabbit, the Empress hastily ended the meeting.
"Yes, Your Majesty. But just in case we have to announce it in public tomorrow, and I hope you agree. Also, I beg you and the elders to forgive us for our rudeness and offense, as we guard against the malicious actions of those who are petty people. Hilledi, who thought he had a winning ticket, glanced at the prime minister arrogantly as he left, his eyes full of contempt and resentment.
When the door closed tightly again, Her Majesty exhaled deeply.
"How's I doing, Lord Arelus?"
"Your Majesty, you have done a perfect job, and these fools are not far from death." Looking at the empress's eyes begging for praise, the prime minister praised with relief.
"Now I'm waiting for that kid Volts to come back, I think with his ability, these are completely difficult for him, I just hope he can come back on time."
"But my Prime Minister, is it really necessary?" The mission has gone smoothly until now, so that the eldest empress Colonia has to pour out the doubts buried in her heart.
"This must be done, Supreme Kirvin!" On the other side, in Karaksivis. Looking at the heavily guarded exit outside, the Grand Elder of Karaksi, Karakshiva Sero, answered the Supreme Korfan with the same doubts.
"Let me ask you, how is the Demon Warrior Voltes?"
"Great Elder, Voltés the Demon Warrior is a wise and brave soldier, he is not only the first soldier in battle, but also resourceful, knows how to share the weal and woe with his subordinates, and has strict military discipline. He's a rare and good general, and that's not because I'm his comrade-in-arms. The Supreme One replied truthfully with a serious face.
"Your assessment is very pertinent, my child. That's why we have to do this, the Prime Minister is very old, and we really can't find a suitable replacement other than Volts. ”
But you see, some of his practices have also attracted malicious slander and slander from fools who envy and hate him. How can he succeed smoothly? So it's better to let these treacherous people hidden in the dark corners jump out by themselves, so that the obstacles can be cleared. “
"After that, we will be able to entrust him with the task of protecting the Queen without hindrance. After all, those who are favored may not be able to become prime ministers, but to become prime ministers, they must gain the favor and favor of the queen. ”
"And when he becomes prime minister, it's almost time for me to retire with Areros. And that's when you take my place. Hearing this, the Supreme Venerable Kirfan looked at the Great Elder in front of him in shock, feeling incomprehensible about the sudden making him Karaksi's successor. After all, although he was a well-known general among the mantis, it didn't mean that he was qualified to compete for the position of Great Elder just because he had just joined Karakxi.
"Don't look at me like that, your strength and performance are obvious to all. I hope you will always keep in mind the purpose of Calaksi, that everything is for the great mantis people. ”
"I see, Great Elder! I will take over this burden without complaint, and I will certainly live up to the expectations and recognition of my people. The Supreme One, who knelt on one knee, solemnly swore to the Great Elder.
"Alright, get up. Now you hurry to the Forgotten Mire to meet Voltes the Warrior, I think they're almost there. The bunch of unreasonable idiots out there are very annoying, so remember not to let them find out. Looking at the Supreme Elder who turned to leave, he sighed softly, and fortunately handed over the Amber Life Detector to his disciple before leaving. It's just that I didn't expect that the crystal that was originally used to confirm the life and death of the lover is now used to confirm his location, and now I think about it, it's really a little helpless.
However, with the safe return of his apprentice, it is absolutely impossible for the trick of the group of clowns who jump off the beam tomorrow to succeed. While Voltus, who has great military exploits, can easily put an end to the malicious slander and slander of the other party, it is not enough to make him the prime minister who walks with the empress.
In order to solve these troubles once and for all, his apprentice needs something that will completely defeat his enemies, something that will convince all the mantises. And this kind of thing is in the deepest depths of Karaksives, and every generation of great prime ministers must reach there to pass the trials. Countless people who have succeeded or failed on the road to becoming prime ministers have to face, and there are countless things that have been touched but never picked up since ancient times, things that belong to their gods.
—Outside the Imperial Palace—
"We're going to make it! That idiot is finally going to die! The Empress is finally ours! "The mantis lords involved in the rebellion were shouting loudly outside for their seemingly easy victory.
"Quiet! What are you making a fuss about here before you have won the final victory! Only tomorrow morning will be our day of victory, and if you are willing to join me in destroying our common enemy, give me patience. Firmly believe that victory is ours in the end. Hiledi's eloquent words made everyone even more excited.
Looking at the excited people below, standing on a high place, he enjoyed this moment incomparably. Since his birth, he has been recognized by others as a unique genius among the new generation of mantis. Confident that he could win the favor of the Empress and accompany the great Empress as Prime Minister, he has long since lost his way in the praise and praise of others, and has become a cup of man who only lives in his delusional glory.
It is true that he quickly rose to prominence in battle, but the reality is that he gains the approval of his superiors by slapping his beard and deceiving his superiors. The arrogant heart always makes him think that he is superior, with this concept, he is cruel and ruthless to his subordinates, and if he is slightly dissatisfied, the fists and feet are light, and you are lucky if you don't break your hands and feet. But in every battle, he waited until the enemy had been destroyed before pretending to be righteous and awe-inspiring to steal the credit from his subordinates, and the reason was that he didn't think he needed to be injured in such a vulgar battle.
It's just a good thing to be happy and narrow-minded, looking down on anyone weaker than himself, and at the same time jealous of those who are stronger than him. Dark and narrow-minded at heart, he often maliciously slanders talented newcomers to the extent of insulting and beating them, and his stupidity and incompetence make him only use those disgusting tricks to deal with his "enemies".
Doesn't that sound familiar? That's right, the words he maliciously framed and slandered Voltes in front of the empress were actually all about himself, and he was ashamed of it.
As a result, no sergeant was willing to be his subordinate, and the lords who really wielded the power had never even heard of his name, and the busy lords did not have the time and interest to listen to him. In addition, in the next few battles, he cowardly and incompetently escaped, and he was stripped of his post and expelled from the barracks with endless shame and pain.
After becoming a homeless wretched wretch, Hiledi is even more extreme and narrow-minded than before, and when he hears that Voltés is about to become prime minister, the anger and jealousy that has been pent up in his heart finally explodes.
When he was still jumping up and down to flatter his boss for the appreciation of his boss, the other party became a hero in the mantis race with an impossible victory in a thousand-mile raid; When he was still hiding behind and watching his men suffer heavy losses in the brutality of the enemy, the other party was already the leader of the young generals of the mantis; When he escaped with punches and kicks from the soldiers in the barracks, the other party rejected the empress's gift that countless people had dreamed of.
Extremely resentful, he instigated a simple-minded fool to provoke Voltés, but the heavily armed guy was easily discarded by the unarmed Voltes with just one move, and he finally waited for the opportunity after a period of hibernation.
With outstanding eloquence and speech, he managed to gather a group of fellows who were also jealous of Voltez, and then took advantage of the time when the other party was away to launch this extremely comical mutiny farce. They were so reckless that they didn't notice why the lords in power and the powerful elders of Calaksi were silent and indulged in them.
"Chryslin, there's no movement on Carricksi's side!"
"Nope! They hid like maggots and did not dare to come out. ”
"Don't be careless, order them to block the main traffic arteries, and no one is allowed to enter or leave! If someone breaks in, you know what to do! The little man who watched as he was ordered to leave turned and pointed to the palace as if it were already in his pocket.
Hilledi, who was still delusional, didn't think that he was just a stepping stone for others to reach the top, and he would be trampled on at the same time. And in the deepest recites of Karaxives, the first trials belonging to the Immortals began.
