The Empire was a vast political power entrenched in Europa, Asia Minor, Mesopota, and northern Africa. In its heyday, the empire encompassed almost the entire continent of Oloba, and the land-within-the-sea sandwiched between Afigali and Olopa became the empire's inland sea.

In its heyday, the empire built a large number of public facilities in addition to building some large-scale projects to decorate its cities. The avenue extending in all directions is probably the project that people can feel most intuitively, and the business travelers are busy carrying the specialties of various provinces on the avenue; The armies marched on solid stone roads to the far frontiers of the Empire; Envoys from vassal states flocked to the empire's capital with rare tributes.

The avenue is like the blood vessels of the empire, making the empire prosperous, strong, and stable, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it will benefit for a thousand years.

However, the Avenue also cheapens these ambitious pirates. Linden and Lo Lo led the pirates and quickly advanced north along the Avenue of Clamorgan. Originally, it was a good experience to step on a solid avenue and enjoy the beautiful scenery of early autumn where the red, yellow and green mountains intersected, but this trip could not bring much good mood to Lin Dengwan and his party.

"This ...... It's really miserable......"

Luo Luo looked at the hanged ghosts dangling on the tree, and actually felt a trace of pity in her heart. A pirate who cuts people without blinking an eye thinks that the situation must be too miserable.

And so it was, the roadside trees were full of gallows, and there was no end in sight along Clamorgan Avenue. These gallows are not empty, they are full of people.

"Wow! Wow! Wow! Ga! “

The road was filled with the noisy noise of crows and vultures, and these fellows loved the war, famine, and plague, because it meant they could feast on it.

The big scavenging birds stopped on the shoulders of the corpses, chasing and playing with each other, and pecking at the flesh of the corpses when they were hungry. The hungry wolves and wild dogs, hidden in the bushes, looked at the swaying corpses with green eyes. Usually they feast on large pieces of meat and give the rest of the meat to the crows and vultures. And now, the situation has reversed, and the hungry wolves can only count on the gift of the crow vulture.

Lin Dengwan was also tilting his head to observe the corpses, his fingers silently flexing and stretching, as if counting.

"No wonder there are no people in the villages along the way, it turns out that they are all hanging...... Advancing from Klamorgan is indeed a good idea, because the people here are dying, and there is no Imperial Governor's eyeline, if the speed is fast enough, the raid on Lanery City does have a good chance of victory. ”

"Yes, boss, so I said, this idea is still the safest, it's better to ......"

Luo Luo was still holding on to her opinion, she felt that Lin Dengwan's plan was too floating, too twisted and twisted, and it was not in line with the appetite of the stronghold.

"I'm here, don't worry. Moreover, since you and your brethren want to make something big, you can't be satisfied with a small fight for a long time. There will be wealth, and there will be land. “

"Okay......"

Luo Luo shut up and didn't speak, even if she passed the trial, she would be the prince of the stronghold, but unfortunately, as a daughter, she would not get an acre of land in the future. The fate that awaits her is only to find a prince to marry, although it cannot be said that this life is not good enough, but it cannot satisfy her ambitions at all.

But if she had laid a piece of land by herself, then her mother would not have forced her to go on a blind date!

Thinking of this, Luo Luo smiled happily.

"Oh, by the way, how many people are hanging on the side of the road?"

"It's about 20 meters two, one on both sides of the road, we've been walking for 30 kilometers, and there are about 3,000 people. But there are definitely more of them, and the way lies ahead. ”

Lin Dengwan wrinkled his nose, such a large-scale hanging southeast branch, it would be very troublesome to clean up, not to mention the smell of corpses everywhere, what if there was a plague?

However, there are no people in the villages and towns along the way, and I am afraid that the lord will not have to worry about the plague.

"But I still have a question, after killing all the people, who will farm for the nobles? Is King Violce brain-dead? “

It was Sadowsi who asked this question, and he thought that King Vierz was simply stupid, and that dealing with internal rebellions generally only required the execution of the leaders and the peasants who followed the coaxing. If it's all clicking, who will give food to the nobles? Do you want them to go down to the land and farm their own fields?

"This ...... Tut...... This was not the hand of King Vielse. Vielse's has not had a king for a long time. ”

Jia'er gritted her teeth and forced herself not to look at the corpses dangling on the side of the road. Those are her compatriots, fellow villagers, and friends. At festivals, they dance together around a bonfire; When the farm is busy, they work together in the fields; When the market opens, everyone laughs around the circus. And now the familiar faces have lost their vitality and become rotten, stinky meat, ready for the crows to peck at.

She clenched her fists, letting the hatred and powerlessness ferment in her heart.

"Okay, can you please stop discussing this in front of my girl?"

Lin Dengwan hugged Jia'er very understandingly, and his broad chest soothed the girl's hatred that was running wild.

"Well, I apologize. But there are some things, I think your lovely girl understands, and we're going to ...... now."

"Sadothus, are you tired of it? Shut up! ”

“……“

Luo Luo's roar directly silenced his little brother.

Lin Dengwan is actually a very easy person to get along with, with strength but no arrogance, unlike Luo Luo, who stares at them all day long. Sadoshi and the brothers have almost forgotten how terrifying the power of the "father and daughter" of Lin Dengwan and Jia'er is. In contrast, he was still more afraid of Lolo.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, our plan now is to go to Governor Viorz and ask her for money, because she needs the army very, very much right now. And some things are not as simple as they seem. Jia'er, you have to experience everything with your eyes and heart. ”

"Hmmm......"

Although it was a little perfunctory, out of longing and admiration for the master, Jia'er still forcibly suppressed the hatred in her heart.

"By the way, do you think Governor Violce will accept us from unknown sources? Strongholds, while the Empire is not infrequent, our reputation is not much better. Every year, there is probably a brigade of envoys who complain and cry to the Eternal City. ”

The Eternal City is the capital of the Empire, and it is from these hills that the Empire continues to expand and conquer most of the known world. Although the status of the Eternal City has been greatly reduced over the centuries due to the division of East and West and the chaos within the Empire, and even the Emperor no longer lives there, most of the Empire's government offices are still resident there, including diplomatic offices.

The courage of the pirates in the strongholds is getting fatter and fatter, and the raids on the northern countries are becoming more and more frequent, and those countries protected by the empire naturally sent envoys to cry and cry and cry and hug their mothers' thighs: Dad! Send in for help! We can't bear it!

The crying child had milk to drink, and the envoys naturally added fuel to the atrocities of the pirates in the stronghold. After plundering a small town, it is said that the city is an important town and has been conquered, and then multiply the plundered population by ten, the lost wealth by ten, and the scale of the invasion by twenty, anyway, it is necessary to ask for money, food, and equipment.

The Imperial side also had a headache with this gang of pirates, so send the Northern Legion to conquer it, and the local people will run away in the morning; garrison, people don't stare at one place to rob; Let's go straight to the lair...... Not to mention the mountains and mountains of the Nord Peninsula, the supply lines were too long for the increasingly strapped imperial finances to afford.

The main energy of the empire has long since shifted from the stability of the frontier to the long period of internal strife. Since you're already invincible in the world, you have to play some infighting or something, otherwise it's boring. If there is no war, how can careerists with ghosts and ghosts be on the throne? So Lavenna, the city of emperors, testified to the frenzied struggle of the forces within the empire, and in ten years there were nine emperors, who were put on the throne by the Praetorian Guard and the Holy See, and murdered one after another.

This is the state of the Empire, with the Praetorian Guard usurping power, the Holy See interfering in politics, the Emperor being overthrown, the frontiers in flames, and powerful legions facing each other

It is precisely this situation that makes Lin Dengwan feel that there is an opportunity.

"Don't worry, hungry and thirsty, the current Governor of Vierce is already crazy about wanting the army."

Soon, the gallows on both sides of the avenue were gone, the stench of corpses gradually dissipated, the fresh mountains and fields appeared to their eyes, and the number of pedestrians on the road gradually increased.

But as soon as they saw Lin Dengwan and his gang, they were so frightened that they fled in all directions, and many merchants didn't even want the goods. It seems that the notoriety of the pirates in the stronghold has long since drifted across the sea, and in the eyes of the Viers, the legendary cannibal life has actually appeared alive in reality! It's simply scarier than the most horrific nightmare!

However, Lindenvan ordered through Lorro not to raid the eager pirates, and along the avenue, where the capital of Vierce, Landavery was at the end.
