Chapter 160: The Evil Empress (20)
Twelve and the Campbells saw a land full of mourning and starvation, and every town they passed through had no one to care about their uninvited guests, only competing with each other for water and food.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Twelve gave up walking through the town, and led the Campbell's army all the way through several mountains and fields, and finally reached the outside of the imperial capital.
After arriving at the place, Twelve asked the Campbell's army to disguise themselves and enter the city in several groups.
And he took Todd and Xiao all the way into the palace.
In front of the palace gate, two guards blocked the way of the twelve: "Stop! What for? ”
Twelve quietly drew his dagger and put it behind Todd, he swallowed his saliva and pulled the hat that covered his face: "Bold, blind your dog's eyes, don't see who I am." ”
After seeing it clearly, the guards immediately changed to a respectful face: "Lord Todd, please forgive me!" ”
After speaking, he opened the palace gate and let a few people in.
Twelve and Xiao smoothly infiltrated the palace.
Todd said with a bitter face: "Two, I'll take you here, can you let me go?" ”
Twelve tugged at his collar: "Think beautifully, good people do it to the end, you take us to Emperor Cass, just say that you have something important to report!" ”
Todd had no choice but to lead the two of them to Cecil's study again.
At this time, Cecil was watching the battle report of the fall of Novillin in the study, and the voice of the chamberlain sounded at the door: "Your Majesty, Lord Todd asks to see you." ”
Cecil snorted coldly: "He still has the face to come to see me?" Let him get in! ”
The door was pushed open, and Todd was followed in by two people he didn't know.
Cecil pointed at Todd's nose and scolded, "What good things have you done? I asked you to take an army of 100,000 to conquer Novino, and what happened to you? Not to mention the loss of Novirin, and let Heine turn the 100,000-strong army against him! Now these guys are lighting me everywhere! What a rebel army! You-"
Cecil then noticed that something was wrong, and the figure behind Todd seemed to be holding a knife against him.
"Who are you? What's going on? ”
Twelve lifted his hat and smiled at Cecil, "Robert Empire Twelve Campbell has seen Cass the Great. ”
Cecil was unconsciously attracted by the confident and calm smile of the woman in front of him.
"Oh, you're the princess of Emperor Robert!"
"It seems that Your Majesty is very concerned about Emperor Kell's affairs, but for now, you had better worry about your own safety first." Twelve didn't care at all about the provocation in Cecil's words.
Cecil's first impression of Twelve was that he had a leopard's head and eyes, which was not easy to provoke at first glance, and coupled with his muscular physique, Kyle could only be regarded as a weak scholar in front of him.
"What do you want?" Cecil showed no signs of weakness, but little by little his steps moved to the side of the desk.
Twelve said: "I advise you not to mess with other thoughts, I have buried the explosives that Todd has painstakingly collected over the years around the palace, and as long as I can't get out today, you Cass the Great and the whole palace will give me a burial!" ”
Cecil paused and smiled, "So, you're here for my Cass Empire?" You even know my secret plan, you really have the ability! ”
Twelve raised his dagger and pointed at him: "Don't talk nonsense, I just want you to abdicate and give way to Xian and give up the Kas Empire, you can still be a big nobleman with peace of mind and spend the rest of your life in glory and wealth." ”
"Dreaming!" Cecil rebuked angrily, "How could I, the Kas Empire, be taken away if you say you will take it? ”
"Cecil, be sober, you are not fit to be an emperor at all, go and see your people outside the palace, and see them who are starving and eating their children! If your father knew that you were such an incompetent emperor, he would be so angry that he would crawl out of the graveyard and slap you! ”
Cecil looked at Todd, who bowed his head weakly.
"Didn't you keep telling me that the situation was well controlled? What's the matter with eating and eating?! Cecil was furious, and rushed forward and grabbed Todd by the collar.
Todd was so frightened that he peed his pants: "Your Majesty, forgive me, I didn't mean to hide it from you, if I don't do this, you will have compassion, then our plan to annex Robert's empire will be in vain!" ”
"You!" Cecil raised his right hand, but was stopped by Shaw first.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I have a good proposal, I wonder if you can listen to it?" Twelve's eyes gleamed with a sly light.
Cecil lowered his hand and asked, "You say, what is the proposal?" ”
Twelve walked up to Cecil, looked him in the eye and said, "I can see that Your Majesty is bewitched by traitors, so I can have people dig a fresh water canal from Novino to Novirin, but only if the Cass Empire is to bow down to the Robert Empire, in that case, I can make a proposal to Emperor Kyle and make you the king of Cass." ”
"I believe that you will not refuse such a bloodless peaceful way, in other words, give up the emperor's honor, but you can exchange it for a peaceful life for the people of Kas, are you willing?"
Cecil's eyes flashed and flashed, and he understood that one wrong step had been wrong, and now the big mistake had been made, and only by obtaining fresh water resources in time and alleviating the disaster situation in the whole country could he, a sinner, alleviate some of his sins.
But he couldn't watch the Cass empire ruin at his own hands.
"I promise you!" Eventually, Cecil spoke, "But I don't need to be king of Cass, I only have one request, if the people of Cass do not agree to submit to Robert's Empire, you can't force it, I'm talking about every people." ”
Twelve Jiao smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, I will always have a way to make everyone agree." ”
It's not so much about getting everyone to agree, it's about getting all the great nobles to agree.
By doing so, Cecil left the last retreat for the Cass Empire.
On that day, Cass the Great summoned all the nobles to the chamber of the palace.
The nobles pointed to the twelve standing beside Cecil in the hall and talked about it, and they all thought that this woman was so good-looking, I was afraid that she was not a bewitching queen who brought disaster to the country and the people.
At this moment, Cecil spoke: "I only realize today what a wrong decision I have made, I listened to the slander of the minister Todd, and rashly sent troops to attack Novino when the people were in trouble, and now, the envoys of the Robert Empire have arrived and given us a choice. ”
"Submit to Robert's Empire and get water."
As soon as Cecil's words fell, the nobles in the council chamber exploded at your word.
"Your Majesty, how can we do such a humiliating thing!"
"Yes, it doesn't matter if we lose Novirin, but we can't let the Cass Empire fall again!"
