Chapter 399: The Queen Ascends the Throne
Five days later, Murong Han was already buried, and the whole country mourned.
Even though there is too much reluctance and grief, everyone knows that life still has to move on. Just ended the day of national mourning, all the civil and military officials stood in the main hall of the palace, of course, this also included Murong Yunfan, Murong Ying, Lan Jiu and others.
"Hou Ye, although he has just finished mourning, Xia Guan feels that there is something he has to say! Xia Guan has the courage to implore Hou Ye to ascend to the throne of the king and restore the prestige of the empire!" a courtier stepped forward and said respectfully.
"Weichen also thinks that the country cannot be left without an owner for a day, and the Hou Ye should make a decision as soon as possible!" Another courtier fell to his knees.
“.....”
After thousands of words, all the cultural relics and officials knelt down, and there were very few people standing. In fact, before they came, they had already discussed it in private, and now the imperial army is looking forward to it, and they need someone who can stabilize the scene to lead the human race to take a counteroffensive.
This person, Murong Yunfan is the most suitable, whether it is his status or personal strength, he is enough to do it.
But at this time, Murong Yunfan took a step forward and did not fulfill everyone's wishes. I saw that he shook his head and firmly refused, "I am already the Marquis of Murong, so I will naturally do my best for the empire, and I will do my best, the throne of this empire is not necessary! But Benhou can recommend one person, that is the eldest princess Murong Ying, or rather, the throne itself should be hers!"
"Hiss..." When the words fell, all the soldiers took a cold breath and looked at Murong Yunfan's side in disbelief.
Murong Ying is not a stupid person, not to mention that several people have already discussed it before this. So without any hesitation, with a firm step, she walked directly in the direction of the high throne. On his body, he faintly exuded the breath of continuing to be an emperor.
"The ancient sages had clouds, obeyed the mandate of heaven, and ruled by inaction!" Murong Ying's crisp voice said firmly, "According to the mandate of heaven, I should take over the throne of this imperial capital... This king also knows that all Aiqing, and even tens of millions of people have objections to this king's accession to the throne, and in the days to come, I will slowly use my practical actions and tangible achievements to prove today's choice!"
These words were naturally the lines that Lan Jiu and Murong Yunfan had prepared for her.
Originally, Lan Jiu and the others were still worried that these words were too atmospheric, and a little girl like Murong Ying would be unable to resist. But now it seems that perhaps because she inherited Murong Han's bloodline, when she stood in front of the throne, her convincing aura was not weaker than that of Murong Han when she ascended the throne.
Murong Ying's words fell, and the entire palace fell silent all of a sudden, and the whole scene was very embarrassing for a while.
It was Lan Jiu, who smiled lightly, then knelt down on one knee and said firmly, "Minister, Lan Jiu, the marquis of the sword, swear by the king's sword... From today on, the sword in my hand will fight for the empire and the queen, blood and sweat, and will always defend the honor of the queen!"
Lan Jiu's words fell, and Li Yixiang, Ah Ke, and Xi Tianming also knelt on one knee one after another and swore firmly.
At this time, Murong Yunfan on the side also spoke, only to hear him say firmly, "Weichen Murong Yunfan, in the name of Murong Hou, will always support the queen's royal status!"
At this moment, the quiet scene was ignited all at once. A group of civil and military officials knelt on the ground one after another, and then bowed to the new king of this country, just as Murong Yunfan said, the throne of this empire itself should be sat by her.
Coupled with the support of Murong Yunfan and Lan Jiu, there is no doubt about it.
Murong Ying's delicate body stood on the high platform, and her petite appearance seemed to contain powerful energy at this moment. Lan Jiu secretly admired in his heart, perhaps, letting him ascend to the throne was indeed the best choice.
At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps, and a palace guard broke in.
"The Queen of Revenge, our First Legion, has completely taken over the territory and resources of the Demon Clan. The four armies are all ready, ready to fight the demon clan at any time!" the guard hurriedly reported.
A cold light flashed in the corner of Murong Ying's eyes, and then she looked into the distance. Said firmly, "Since ancient times, there has been no tradition of women being kings, this king knows that you Aiqing is not convinced from the bottom of your heart, since this is the case, well, this king hereby swears that within a year, the demon clan will be defeated!"
"Hiss!" is another one, ignited in the midst of a crowd of civil and military officials, such an oath is really too sensational.
From this moment on, everyone began to re-examine the girl on the throne, and perhaps, she would indeed be a very good king. And everyone's eyes were all looking at Murong Ying, expecting her to say the following.
did not disappoint, Murong Ying's sleeves flicked, and said firmly, "This time, this king has decided to take command of the expedition in person, and will never give up if he does not exterminate the demon clan!
Half of these words came from her sincerity, it was because of her hatred for the demon clan, and the other half was taught by Lan Jiu herself. All of this was planned by Lan Jiu in advance, what she said, what she did, and even the guards who had just come out to report could all be arranged.
Meticulously furnished, meticulously planned. In fact, there is only one final purpose, and that is to let Murong Ying sit on this throne smoothly.
Since it was rehearsed in advance, Lan Jiu wouldn't let his problem go cold. But I saw Lan Jiu take a step forward and said respectfully, "Ben Hou is willing, follow the queen around, command the three armies, and strangle the demon clan!"
When the words fell, everyone behind them also knelt on the ground and expressed their willingness to fight. And what happens after that is to plan and arrange, on the battlefield, the two armies face each other, which is not only a collision of strength, but also a collision of scheming techniques.
In less than three hours, the gate of the imperial capital was already crowded with people.
Countless horses and carriages drove out of the city gate in an orderly manner, this was the team of Murong Ying and others, and all around them were Wenchen and many family members who came to see them off. Everyone knows that this battle is unpredictable, but for the glory of mankind, they have no other choice.
However, among the crowd, only Lan Jiu and Murong Yunfan were missing. It turned out that Lan Jiu went directly to the southeast border to guide the Third and Fourth Army Corps. And Murong Yunfan went to the southeast and ordered the first and second armies, these soldiers were the key to the war.
This time, the human side is not prepared to disperse the forces, all the armies, together.
Finally, once again, deep into the hinterland of the demon race, more than a million human soldiers stood behind him, which was the most solid guarantee. Murong Yunfan's steed took the lead, looked at the demon clan stationed on the opposite side, and said sharply, "Hehe, we have such a big battle, the chaotic shadow demon king of the demon clan, don't you come out to greet it in person?"
When the words fell, a person slowly walked out of the demon clan, and when he looked at it, it was the Shadow Demon King. I only heard her smile and said, "Isn't this Murong Hou Ye? This king's mourning period has just passed, why did Hou Ye come to my demon clan realm with a large army?"
Murong Yunfan smiled slightly and said in a low voice, "I already said it in the last war. If we are defeated that day, we will let the demon clan return it doubly!"
"Haha, how do you want to double the reward?" said the Shadow Demon King with a smile, "Do you want so many humans to bury that old thing Murong Han?"
"This king, you are not allowed to insult your father's name!" Murong Ying stood up from the army, and with a wave of the scepter in his hand, a light-based attack magic directly collided with it. But who is the Shadow Demon King? This kind of attack is not enough at all, and with a wave of his palm, the attack is directly drowned in the air.
"Uh-huh?" the Shadow Demon King looked at Murong Ying with some amusement.
At this time, Murong Yunfan took a step forward and said firmly, "This is the new king who has just arrived in our human race, this time, she will lead our human race to this final victory!"
"Haha, isn't it true that you humans are really unbeatable? Isn't it too funny to let such a big little girl be the king?" The Shadow Demon King suddenly burst out laughing, followed by the demon clan behind him, laughing and talking about something.
At this time, Lan Jiu made a mistake in his steps, and the whole person rose directly into the sky. The king sword in his hand quickly pierced out, directly nailing a laughing demon clan there.
"You!" The Shadow Demon King was shocked, and his heart was full of anger, a demon clan actually died directly in front of him. At the same time, she also had to look at the young man in front of her. That blow was not strong, and it was even much weaker than the average demon king, but the speed of the attack was extremely fast, and even she didn't react.
Lan Jiu directly provoked a resolute gaze, collided directly with the Shadow Demon King, and said sharply, "I am the Imperial Sword Marquis, this is the consequence of your violation of the Queen's majesty!"
This was the first time that Lan Jiu and the Chaos Demon King had collided head-to-head, Lan Jiu's heart was worried about the strength of the Chaos Demon King, but the Chaos Demon King was also amazed at Lan Jiu's age. A strange feeling surged in the hearts of both of them, but that feeling was extremely mysterious, but it was not clear in a few words.
Smiling slightly, the Shadow Demon King said in a low voice, "You humans really want to fight?"
"Yes, this time, no matter whether you win or lose, you will never give up!" Murong Ying stepped forward and said firmly. The voice is not loud, but it is firm.
The Shadow Demon King smiled lightly and said in a low voice, "Since that's the case, let's start, the whole army will attack!"
"Kill!" Murong Yunfan and Lan Jiu stood in the air, and they also gave orders in a loud voice.
The soldiers and horses of both sides gave an order, and they quickly rushed to kill, the collision of giant axes and blades, the entanglement of life and honor, and everyone was pursuing the final victory. In an instant, countless bodies fell to the ground, and blood once again stained the land.
