Chapter 133: The Wedding
"So, what do you decide now?" Jerry asked Ray as he leaned against the wall at the gate of the Empire's highest women's college, tilting his head and winking at the beauties who came in and out.
Lei scratched his head and said with a little annoyance: "According to the rules of the Imperial Senate, I can't stay in the imperial capital for a long time." I am now a big nobleman with a fief, and I must go to my own territory, especially since the amount of my private army is so large, the ministers of the imperial capital will not allow me to stay in the imperial capital for longer. However, my territory is divided on both sides of the empire, and the two provinces in the east are connected, but the province in the west is connected to your territory, so which side should I live in?"
Jerry flew out with a flying kiss, and looked at the two little girls who were no more than fifteen or sixteen years old and fainted to the ground excitedly, and said in a smooth tone: "Well, then, I suggest that you live in the two provinces to the east." After all, in terms of climate, the two provinces in the east are close to the southwest, and they are much better to live in than the ones in the northwest. Moreover, didn't you notice that the two provinces in the southeast happened to block the routes of the three major principalities into the interior of the empire, and the one in the northwest also blocked the passage of the 'god-given grassland' to the interior of the empire. β
Ray frowned, and Jerry smiled and said, "What about your relationship with Leigh, haha, I won't talk about it... However, just because you saved Lord Hart and their favor, and there are at least 20,000 garrisons of the 'Divine City' who survived your bloody battle, so as long as your territory is placed there, if there is any change in the 'Divine City', they will not be embarrassed to pass through your territory... As for the three principalities in the southeast, they are now the provinces of the empire, but the folk customs are too strong, if you have the three of them stationed there, then those remaining principality forces will also obediently obey the people, right?"
Ray froze, and Jerry concluded, "So, the person who came up with this bounty plan is a fucking genius." Push you to the front line, and the threat to the empire from the 'Divine City' and the three southeastern principalities, which has severed ties with the mainland, will be eliminated. Moreover, your Lei's loyalty is known to the entire empire, because you don't have the stinky problems of the traditional big aristocratic families, you don't pursue too much power, you control three provinces alone, plus the 300,000 private troops under your command, at least the empire will be calm in the thirty years after the war, and no big nobles will dare to confront you head-on, right?"
Jerry looked at Lei's puzzled face, smiled and whispered: "Don't forget, this generation of dynasties took advantage of the fact that the previous dynasty's national strength was extremely weakened after the Great War to rebel. It's hard to say whether there will be such nobles in the current empire, and if there is, this is something that His Majesty Shagru needs to worry about. Think about it, the men of the empire have more than 30 million dead and wounded, 30 million, thunder, it will take at least thirty years for the empire to recover, and it will take women to keep giving birth to children... The Empire's treasury is basically empty, and in order to meet the demands of those dragons, all the gold, silver and jewelry that the empire has accumulated have been moved, which is cheaper than that bastard of Karin, who takes 50% of the so-called personal income tax of the dragons, damn. β
Jerry cursed indignantly for a few words, and then said: "Now the empire seems to be calm, but I am afraid that there will be a big fish under this water, if there is, it is a big fish that can swallow our Shagru Majesty." That's why Your Majesty made such an assignment. Especially in the non-war period, the Five Beast Legion has always been in the hands of the military department, and only at the beginning of the war did the power be delegated to the legion commander. But Lei, it seems that the military power of your Dragon Legion has not been taken away, right?"
Lei was stunned for a moment, nodded slowly and said, "Yes, the military power of my Crazy Dragon Legion... When I went to the military headquarters to hand over power, the ministers of the military department said that they could delay the handling of the matter a little longer, and it seemed that they also wanted me to have more military strength at hand so that I could cope with the future. β
Jerry nodded, then shook his head and sighed: "I can imagine that in the next ten years, most of the cultivated land in the empire will be barren, and at the same time, because there are not enough people to do business, the empire's economy will also fall into a trough. Hmph, this time in the war of the guilty people, our Van Empire has been pitted, and several other countries, except for the Bicester Empire, have not suffered much at all. That is, the treasury has been emptied. β
Talking about such a serious topic, Jerry's face was smiling, and he kept throwing kisses and winks at the beautiful girls who came and went on his side. As one of the two youngest dukes in the empire, as one of the military bosses in charge of the military, and Jerry's image is much more handsome than the big bear like Lei around him, those girls kept screaming, regardless of their reserve as a noble lady. It's a pity that Beamon next to Ray, Beamon, who had a broken arm, stood in front in a daze, just recovering from the serious injuries of the battle at the 'Senko' pass, and Alexand, who had a cold face, looked even more terrible than Beamon, forcing those little girls not to approach, otherwise they would have rushed up and kissed Jerry a long time ago.
Jerry let out a long sigh, looked at Ray seriously, and stopped talking... After a while, Jerry gritted his teeth and whispered, "So, Ray, you don't want to stay in the empire anymore, hurry up and go to your own territory to take over the power." Lomat can't go with you this time, because although Lomat has a fief, he is still a mere marquis, not the kind of big nobleman who owns a province and has to stand by in the imperial capital at any time. However, you still have Ingle at your disposal, so you should be able to handle the tedious stuff. β
Jerry licked his lips and sighed in a low voice, "Carefully and quickly put the army in order, Ray, if you are fast enough, I'm afraid our empire can avoid a storm." As long as you have an army of 600,000 at your disposal, plus the millions of troops that the three principalities of the southeast can call up at any time, no great nobleman will dare to risk fighting you, especially when his own life is not guaranteed. Jerry laughed: "You should understand how terrifying a paladin is, if you want to assassinate that great nobleman who is trying to rebel, I'm afraid no one will be able to stop you, right?"
Ray frowned and looked at Jerry puzzled: "You're talking too seriously, aren't you? It's like someone is really going to rebel... Still, I should have wandered around my fiefdom. Haha, does that mean that the arable land of a province is my territory? God, what a big piece of land... Jerry, you should go and see, you saw a situation of rice rippling in the sun on a plain, it was really the same as the sea, although I have never seen the sea, but the rice waves are more beautiful than the sea. β
Jerry was affected by Lei's good mood, and couldn't help but laugh happily: "It doesn't matter if anyone is ready to rebel or not, but at least it should be prepared." Especially, the nobles of the imperial capital have begun to diswelcome you, Lei... This is the rule in the aristocratic circle, you have a heavy army, and you have a fief of three provinces, these ministers of the imperial capital, no matter what the relationship with you was before, now they have seen you as the biggest threat, you are too strong... Hey, look at those guys on the corner over there, don't I know they're agents of the Security Department? Fuck, they're staring at us a little too hard these days, aren't they?"
Ray sighed: "So, I really have to leave quickly, I don't want to conflict with them." Tomorrow I will go and bid farewell to Your Majesty and go to my own territory. Ha, the two provinces in the southeast are rich in heavy metal mines, and I can properly reorganize the equipment of my army. Also, an archer armed with an all-metal longbow should be a nightmare, right?"
Jerry laughed softly, but there was a trace of indescribable worry in his eyes: "Ray, you go, you have to do it yourself, sometimes, many things, you have to make a choice, if you want to choose, you must choose a position that is most beneficial to you... Hehe, don't look at me like that, are you saying anything weird to me? I mean, you should be married... Unlike me, I am not yet forty years old, and the family will not ask me to marry, because the family wants me to choose a woman who can bring the greatest benefit to the family. But you, you won't follow my example of changing a noble lady every day, so, in order to avoid a lot of trouble, you better get married as soon as possible. β
Ray's face suddenly turned red, the color of a pig's liver. Jerry looked at Ray with a smile, nodded and said, "yes, it's time to get married." During your stay in the imperial capital, you have been with Miss Klee all day long, to be honest, Miss Klee is very suitable for you... If it's a delicate aristocratic lady, I'm afraid that one day you'll be caught on fire by their weird temper, and you'll kill them directly... Miss Klee is a nice, very good girl. Although I know there is something between you and Miss Li, woo, don't hit me, I'm telling the truth. β
Jerry crouched on the ground with his head in his hands, muttering, "Choose, whether to live with Miss Klee or meet Miss Ley in your dreams." You know for yourself that Miss Li will not abandon the 'Divine City' to come to our empire, you must choose carefully... Ray, sometimes, when something comes to the end, you have to choose. β
So, Ray squatted in the corner of the wall, and discussed with Jerry for an hour, and after the traffic had been blocked by the onlookers of the noble ladies, Ray finally stood up and shouted loudly: "Okay, it's decided, I'll go and tell Your Majesty now, I'll go to my own territory to prepare for the wedding." Well, is the Prince's wedding going to be half a year old? So, half a year later, Klee and I got married. β
The surrounding aristocratic ladies screamed, and they heard that Ray, the only prince with a foreign surname in the history of the empire, was going to get married, and they were all stupidly waiting for pie to fall from the sky. Even if Ray grabs a chick and proposes marriage now, they will not hesitate to agree. However, Ray actually wanted to marry a Klee who was not famous in the aristocratic circle at all, and none of these ladies knew her, and more than thirty aristocratic ladies were hit the spot and fainted on the spot.
Cold sweat couldn't help but drip down Ray and Jerry's foreheads, and the two of them immediately opened the way from Beamon, behind Alexandria, and hurriedly ran to the palace. There were countless complaints and curses from the back, and even the secret agents of the garrison department who were monitoring Lei on the street corner were so frightened that they ran away, not daring to provoke these chicks with broken dreams on this fire.
A day later, the Vatican Empire handed over an official document to the ministers of various countries, and the Imperial Prince Lei would hold a wedding in six months, hoping that the countries would send important personnel to observe the ceremony. Shagru also squeezed out 100,000,000,000 gold coins from the already empty treasury and gave them to Ray as an advance gift from the Emperor. You must know that Lei, the prince and duke with two titles, can't find a single gold coin on him. When the imperial capital fell, the treasury where Lei stored his military salary and salary was also looted by the criminals.
When Ray rushed to his territory with Klee, what he thought to himself was as if the forty-year-old Shagru had carefully instructed him: "Ray, the future of the empire depends on your preparations. You know, the 100 million gold coins I gave you are a congratulatory gift, but in fact, it is better to say that it is military expenses. Your Dragon Legion will be stationed as a garrison in your province, under your direct command. When the Flying Leopard Legion and the Flying Phoenix Legion are replenished, I will hand over the command of the army to you... As for your wedding, you might be able to attract the attention of most people and avoid a storm. After all, a prince's wedding will be more important, and people's eyes will be attracted to the past. β
Ray didn't understand what Shagru meant, as if Shagru understood that there would be a turmoil in the empire in six months. However, this is not something he is worried about, there is no need for Lei to stay in the imperial capital, leading the elite soldiers of the 100,000 Wild Dragon Legion, Lei followed the official road towards his territory. A prince's wedding, if it is not troublesome, is similar to the wedding process of the people. But if you talk about trouble, then, it's really a big trouble, the nobles from the seven countries who came to participate are at least about 10,000, and the entourage is at least more than 200,000 people.
However, seeing Klee sitting in the carriage, Ray's heart suddenly relaxed again. Although he was forcibly escorted by Jerry, Lomat, Milomi and other friends to propose to Klee, but to be honest, aside from the factor of Lee, Ray is happy to marry Klee. If you had to choose between a delicate lady and Klee, Ray would definitely choose Klee.
The place where Ray decided to settle was the border of his two provinces, a wide grassland. There is a royal hunting garden built two hundred years ago, which has now been given to Ray by Shagru as a temporary residence for Ray. Ray's plan is that around this hunting garden, he will build a new city, a city that is enough to garrison an army of 100,000 people, which is also what Shagru means, plus the relationship between Rocat, Beamon, and Ingle, this is enough to deter the three principalities in the southeast.
However, in the six months of preparing for the wedding, Lei had a heavenly day. Every day, he takes Klee and a close knight to camp, hunt, fish, and explore the prairie on the grassland, and the relationship between Ray and Klee is also heating up rapidly. Under the unified dispatch of Ingle and Rocat, rows of wooden houses were built to serve as the garrison of the 100,000 dragon legions. When it was time for the wedding, these houses could also be used by the entourage of those nobles to wait for them, so as not to add too much burden to the nearby cities.
As the days passed, Lei also heard in his mansion that there was indeed a turmoil in the country, and it was a big turmoil. At the time of the invasion of the Sinners, in order to thoroughly implement the plan proposed by Hades Dess to increase the population of their race on the spot, more than 20 million women of the Empire suffered from the sinners, orcs, dwarves, and elves, and 17 million of them were pregnant. As the days passed, the bellies of these women slowly grew larger, so the social contradictions were immediately exposed.
The conservative Van people demanded that the women get rid of the child in their wombs, because the stubborn old men could not bear to have a child of unknown blood in the womb of their daughter or wife. And those families whose men were slaughtered, these pregnant women suffered the greatest discrimination from other families, because of a natural maternal instinct that made them refuse to have their own children. As a result, rumors of so-called witches simply spread in many places, and those pregnant women either fled into the mountains, or fled in the direction of the 'god-given grassland', or were burned alive.
Dark waves rippled, popular discontent and conflict suddenly intensified, and all the fingers were pointed at the supreme ruler of the empire: Shagru. The opinions of the people gradually unified: "An incompetent emperor is the root of our suffering." In particular, the after-effects of the lack of men were beginning to be revealed, some of the land was lacking in people to cultivate, there were more barren grasses than crops, and most of the women who could have done part of the farming work were pregnant, and the basic production system of the whole empire was almost collapsed.
Even in the upper echelons of the imperial aristocratic circles, some people began to complain, and they began to accuse the ministers in power of the empire of being unable to effectively eliminate the grievances of the people, to effectively restore the labor of the people, and to effectively restore the economic strength of the empire, which had been greatly damaged.
Ray frowned, sat in his study and listened to the report of his legion spies. Ray didn't know how Shagru endured such pressure, he had to deal with big and small affairs every day, especially the accusations from the people and nobles, he really didn't know how Shagru endured these pressures. Lei really wanted to lead the 300,000 Wild Dragon Legion that had been rectified and his newly recruited 150,000 private troops from the three southeastern provinces to the imperial capital, but the lord was not ordered by the monarch to lead the army to the imperial capital, which was a capital crime of rebellion.
However, fortunately, there were only three days left for Ray's wedding. As Shagru had predicted, the accusations against Shagru and against the upper echelons of the empire suddenly weakened, or even disappeared. The persecution of pregnant women has also decreased a lot, and many pregnant women have fled with the flesh and bones in their wombs to the only place willing to receive them: "God gave the grassland." β
As a nobleman with the heaviest military power and the highest title in the empire, as a god-of-war existence in the hearts of the people, and at the same time a person from a pure civilian background, who completely relied on his own strength to obtain his current high position, Lei's weight among the people is incredible. No one can blame Ray, because to this day, Ray's reputation is beyond reproach. Therefore, Ray's wedding attracted the attention of the people of the whole country, and the people were discussing with great interest what kind of grand scene Ray's wedding would be.
Three days before the wedding, guests from all over the world had already kept Ray's Hunting Village and several small nearby cities busy. The highest-ranking guests stayed in Lei's mansion, while the other guests could only stay in hotels and residences in nearby cities. As for the petty nobles of the Vatican Empire, they had no choice but to invite them to live in tents and wooden houses, which was also a matter of no choice. Even if it is the Vatican Imperial Capital, I am afraid it will be difficult to digest so many guests.
As a prince with a foreign surname, Lei cannot be allowed to hold a wedding in the imperial capital by the Imperial Senate, especially when Lei still has so many troops under his command, there are very many nobles who will guess that Du Lei will take the opportunity of the wedding to raise troops and do some bad things. Therefore, Ray can only hold the ceremony in his own mansion. Because there were too many guests, Ray was forced to transfer all his troops far away, leaving only a personal guard of less than a hundred people, making room for the retinue and bodyguards of those guests.
Exhausted, Ingle easily found a little free time, and he immediately complained to the sky: "Oh my God, if I knew I would build ten times as many wooden houses." As soon as he had finished complaining, a servant steward rushed up to ask whether the dinner should be on a golden plate or a silver porcelain plate, and Ingle shook his head and hurried with them. These poor generals, on the battlefield, they are calm and invincible, but in the face of the new battlefield - for Lei Cao's wedding, these generals are too busy to pay attention to the outside world.
Two days before the wedding, Prince Andre, as the representative of His Majesty Shagru, led his 10,000 personal guards to Ray's territory and stationed outside the Thunder Hunting Village. With Andre's arrival, the group of imperial generals who had fought side by side in the war of the guilty people also arrived. Jerry looked obviously thinner, and Ray thought maliciously, "This kid must be overly drunk." β
And what about Lomat, it seems that he has stayed up all night, and his eyes are black. The busy Rokat and Ingle couldn't help but joke to Lomat: "Oh my God, how many beauties do you use in one night? Do you have the physique of an adult? Don't you want to die?" Lomat giggled a few times, helping Rokat and Ingle to move around the entire Zhuangzi, with the support of Lomat, a master who can be deployed, Ingle's pressure is finally a lot easier.
Andre found Lei to talk: "Haha, Prince Lei, congratulations this time." Well, well, what I said last time is still valid. I really want to be friends with Prince Lei, hehe, now that the internal turmoil in the empire is changing, Prince Lei should be careful. β
Lei clenched his fists and nodded solemnly: "I know, but, Your Royal Highness, I have this confidence, as long as I can still fight, no one can threaten the rule of the empire." If anyone dared to take advantage of the turmoil within our Vat Empire to take advantage of us, I could have defeated them before, and now I am even more able to defeat them. β
Andre let out a few laughs without smiling, and nodded in approval: "Prince Lei has such confidence, which is a blessing for our empire." However, in the past six months, I have visited other empires, and they have already signed peace agreements with us, and they will not wage war against our Van Empire, because after all, their elite troops have also been lost... However, what I'm afraid of is the instability of the domestic situation, you know, many people are very dissatisfied with His Majesty Shagru now, in case... β
Lei nodded firmly: "Your Highness, don't you know how much His Majesty Shagru has hurt his brain for this war? Putting all the blame on His Majesty's head is not in line with the actual situation, right? If any nobleman wants to take the opportunity to make trouble and dream of his emperor, I will teach him a lesson." At this point, Your Highness can be absolutely assured, no matter which great nobles dare to make trouble, I will definitely destroy their army and family. β
The corners of Andre's mouth twitched, he stood on tiptoe slightly, patted Ray's shoulder, nodded and smiled: "Yes, yes, so I'm relieved." General Lei can be said to be invincible in the world, and the army under General Lei is also the most powerful military force in the empire today, naturally, hehe... In this way, we are all relieved, and we are all completely relieved. I don't have to worry about those things all the time, and tonight, I can get a good night's sleep. β
Andrei smiled and nodded, turned and walked away. Ray shook his head, and Jerry had already walked over. Somewhat emaciated, he shook his head and said, "Lei, what are you doing here? Why have your troops been transferred? The nearest team is fifty miles away, in case there is a dispute with the attachΓ©s of those guests, do you have to rely on your own strength to subdue them?γγγ It's better to do this, I'll transfer you a division of the dragon elite over, although they are all guests, but you have offended a lot of people in various countries, especially those nobles of the Dak Empire, if they want to deliberately make trouble, it will be more stable with an army in hand. β
Lei repeatedly asked: "Jerry, it's not that I don't want to station the army here, but there is really no place." But don't worry, those nobles always have to worry about my personal strength, right? Hmph, if anyone dares to make trouble, don't blame me for being rude. Anyway, the troublemakers are not friends, and I beat them up, just to dissipate the bones. After saying that, Lei laughed hehe, and looked at Jerry maliciously: "It's you, how did you become like this? It seems that you have lost a lot of weight... Those little girls in the pink goblins are pretty, but be careful that they suck you dry. β
Jerry smiled bitterly: "Damn, you just don't have good things to say... Alas, I did run into a female goblin, but it wasn't them... Ray, then, I won't bother you, you can go with peace of mind... What did Prince Andrei ask you about just now?"
Ray muttered in a low voice, "Damn, you want to be friends with me... Hmph, my friends are all men who stand up to the sky, and I don't want to be friends with a guy like him. Besides, I instinctively hate this guy, and I don't know why, I just don't like him. But what do you care about him so much? He can't threaten me anyway. Ray spread his hands and laughed.
Jerry was speechless, just silently watching the busy servants under the balcony, watching everyone come and go happily.
The day before the wedding, Ray and Jerry hunted happily on the grassland, and they hunted a total of 27 big bears, more than 100 wild sheep and wild deer, which was enough to make a hearty game meal. And the servants who were sent out to fish were also rich in harvest, and in the lakes on this grassland, they could simply scoop out large pots of fish with water basins.
On the day of the wedding, everything was quiet, the guests straightened their clothes, and Ray accompanied Klee, constantly reassuring her not to be nervous, not to be nervous, not to be nervous. Kelly, who was dressed in a long white dress, matched her small face and petite figure, looking like a clear spring in the mountains in summer, and the faint fragrance of tea wafted by Klee's side, the air seemed to be softened, and they were full of faint brilliance. Even Ray, the guy who always had a thick murderous aura on his body, once he stood by Klee's side, the beast seemed to be tamed, and a rare Sven appeared in Ray's hands.
Especially when the twenty-four ceremonial officials led the two of them to the main hall of the ceremony, followed by two hundred guards in full uniform, Lei was so nervous that he couldn't take a step. No matter what, no matter how powerful he was on the battlefield, but in his bones he was still the young man who grew up in the mountains, and he saw countless dense aristocrats standing in front of him with a sneer, and Lei's heart began to panic.
Fortunately, the Saint Dou Qi in his body automatically operated, driving Lei's stiff body to walk forward slowly. Throughout the wedding, Lei's Saint Dou Qi did not stop running, on the contrary, the speed of operation was getting faster and faster, and fortunately, Lei did not soften. In comparison, Clebiret was able to go on the stage, although her face was flushed with shame, but her whole face was radiant and full of happiness.
This wedding is enough to be included in the history of the continent. In any respect, it is enough to be included in the future history of the continent. Three thousand high-level mages from the Smart Empire made Ray's wedding the most brilliant and dazzling, and the entire world was shrouded in brilliant light. The high standard of the guests present is also rare in history. There were seventeen princes, seventeen of whom wielded great power in their respective empires and could in some ways represent the emperor of their own country.
The wedding ceremony lasted for a long time, and just when Ray, who was congested in his brain, couldn't hold on any longer, and when the clumsy Ray couldn't help but roar nervously, the wedding ceremony finally ended. Witnessed by a total of 20,000 nobles from seven countries, Ray and Klee were married.
The first one to rush up to congratulate Ray was Bobkat, who had not been looking for him in order to cause trouble for Ray. Bobkat rushed up with a huge vat, and his first words were: "Hahahaha, Ray, drink, let's see who of us falls first today." "This Bicester man, who has become friends with Ray, is full of joy and blessings for Ray, but between men, there are not too many words of false congratulations, and the only action that can prove the feelings of both parties is to drink.
Therefore, a man who can't drink is not necessarily a bad man, but a man who cheats and cheats while drinking must be a bad man.
Lei Shun picked up a wine vat with his hands, and did not stop the Saint Dou Qi running wildly in his body, and he and Bobkaat poured the full fifty catties of wine in one gulp.
Countless nobles cheered, except for those with the highest status, the big nobles had a trace of dark on their faces that was difficult to see, and the other small and medium-sized nobles all cheered. A crazy feast began, the first great feast after the war. For these nobles, it is a great happiness to be able to numb themselves with wine, to be able to have fun, and to be able to forget about the noisy affairs outside.
Drink, drink, drink... Fortunately, this hunting village is a royal hunting garden, and the only thing that is not lacking in the cellar is the old wine, which is sent up like a tide of wine tanks, and the empty wine tanks are transported down like a tide. Sven's aristocrats drank the bottles of red wine in small sips, and the rugged aristocrats, like Ray and Bobkat, picked up the wine vat in front of them. The luck that had survived the chaos had exploded, and the nobles had forgotten their identities and the etiquette they should have paid attention to, and began to have fun with all their hearts.
One cylinder, one cylinder, another cylinder. Thunder did not refuse, as long as it was the person who came to toast, he was guaranteed to be carried out by the servants from the front of Thunder on his stomach. The jubilant servants took two sips of their thieving fish, and carried out the viscounts, barons, counts, marquises, and even dukes, and piled them up in the courtyard in front of them as if they were throwing waste wood. Fortunately, although it is late autumn now, the temperature in this southeastern province is not cold, which saves these nobles the danger of catching a cold or flu.
Cheers, cheers, cheers, the cheers rang out for the thousandth time. Every pore of Ray began to diffuse the smell of alcohol, and even the sweat that flowed out became almost like spirits. Klee looked at Ray a little worriedly, trying to persuade Ray, but knowing that she couldn't persuade her, she could only stand next to her and smile bitterly. The thousands of nobles who were able to drink in the hall and in the garden outside the hall, at least half of them were generals who had fought with Ray, what could they convince once they became addicted to drinking?
Fortunately, the Saint Dou Qi in Lei's body was running wildly, and a large amount of alcohol was expelled from the body, Rao was like this, Lei drank too much wine, too much, so he was still dizzy, dizzy, and a little unsteady on his feet. At this time, almost all the nobles fell, except for Rocat, Ingle, and Beamon, who were the principals, and had been busy drinking without exception, the other guests and even many servants and Ray's hundreds of personal guards were already drunk.
Now, the only people in the entire hall who are still awake are Klee, Ray, Alexandria, and Prince Andrew. The sky outside was already dark, and the sound of people walking and horses' hooves could already be heard outside the manor.
Lomat, who had been standing silently in the corner of the hall, took a glass of red wine from Prince Andre's hand and walked up leisurely. Under the gaze of Jerry, Shapoco and others, who were still sober, he sent the wine glass into Ray's hand: "Big brother, today is your good day, let's have a toast." β
Lei took the wine glass, shook his head and said, "Lomat, what's wrong with you? Why can't you hold the wine glass steadily? Hehe, hehe, his hands are trembling." Ray's hand shook a few times, and a few drops of blood-red liquor spilled on Ray's wrist. The faces of Andre, Shapoco and the others next to them immediately changed.
Klee gently grabbed Ray's hand, shook her head and said, "Ray, I can't drink anymore." If you drink it any more, I'm afraid you'll get drunk, and it's not a polite thing for the master to get drunk here. Lomart, I'll drink instead of Ray. She snatched the glass from Ray, who was unable to resist, and before Lomat could stop it, Klee drank the glass of red wine. The crimson liquor went into Klee's throat, and Klee's entire face turned red.
The faces of Lomat, Jerry, Shapoco, Andre and the others immediately turned pale. Klee smiled and handed the glass to Lomat, shook her head and said, "This wine is so strong, it doesn't look like wine... With that, a mouthful of green blood mixed with a trace of bright red blood spurted out, and the strangely colored blood sprayed onto the floor, and the solid gray stone floor was immediately corroded to the point of 'clanging'.
Ray's face changed immediately, even if he was a fool, he knew that there was something in the glass of wine that shouldn't be there. The holy fighting qi in the body exploded with all his strength, and a trace of white qi spewed out from the pores of his body, and a furious flame erupted from Ray's eyes, and he grabbed Klee with one hand, and his own Saint Dou Qi poured into Klee's body endlessly, forcing the air flow in Klee's body that was as hot as a flame and as cold as an ice cube, and Ray roared wildly: "What are you doing here? Jerry... Lomat?"
Lomat hurriedly took a few steps back, and he whispered: "Big brother, I'm sorry, I said it, for my old father to stop being sad, even if it is the most unwilling thing for me, I will do it." β
Jerry slowly pulled out his long sword, biting his lower lip with blood, and he groaned and said, "Ray, I'm sorry, I, I have no choice... If I don't agree, my entire family will be ruined and wiped out from the Empire... I, I ... I did something I'm sorry for everyone, I, I... I really regret it. β
Ray gritted his teeth and struggled to use all his strength to force the air flow in Klee's body to not rotate indiscriminately, avoiding greater damage to Klee's body. Ray roared frantically, "So, why are you? You, you, you... You guys. Ray's left hand pointed to the nobles who were still standing on the spot, the princes of sixteen countries and their accompanying generals, many of whom had fought with Ray.
Alexandre took a few steps back stealthily, and his whole body suddenly disappeared into the darkness.
Sha Boke slowly stepped forward and said indifferently: "The existence of a saint warrior has greatly destroyed the balance of power in our countries. So, when Prince Andrei invited us to help, we naturally agreed. β
Andrei smirked as he kept backing away, hiding behind a dozen of his own knights. He shook his head and said, "Prince Lei, we should be friends, and I am even willing to ask you to be my son-in-law, but you are so unenlightened... Luckily, my baby daughter is beautiful, and he can still have General Jerry under her skirt, which is the luckiest thing for me. I'm so sorry.,This time.,I'm really sorry.γγγ Do you still have the strength to fight now?" asked Andrei very carefully.
The others stared at Ray, waiting for Ray's answer. None of the people present were Ray's opponents, and even everyone couldn't add them, this was the consensus of everyone. So whether Lei still has combat effectiveness at this moment is a matter of concern to everyone. Fury Thunder will simply kill them.
Ray froze, the venom in Klee's body was circling wildly, as long as he relaxed a little, Klee, who had passed out, would die completely. And the liquor that was spilled on his hands just now has also penetrated into his body. These liquors are firmly and powerfully corroding their own circulating Dou Qi, although they can't cause any damage to their bodies for a while, but they also interfere with the operation of their own Dou Qi.
Now, definitely not the time to fight.
Shapoco said gloomily: "This is what our Smart Empire has easily preserved, and during the God War, even the dragon can't resist the poison 'Lover's Kiss'. All the inventory in our country has been integrated into that glass of wine, originally, it should have allowed Lord Lei to have no resistance, but it actually made Miss Klee suffer most of it, which is really... However, in addition to using a large amount of light magic to force out the poison, the fighting spirit can only control the poison gas from continuing to spread. Lord Lei, don't think that you can save your wife. β
Jerry and Lomat didn't speak, their faces turned pale, and then turned iron blue again. Because after Ray said that, Ray rushed out with Klee in his arms, like a bolt of lightning. Ray roared loudly: "Rocat, Ingle, Beamon, gather the army and kill all the people here." "Out of anger, Ray can no longer care about any consequences, he firmly believes that all this is a conspiracy of Prince Andrei, then, killing him, His Majesty Shagru will definitely not blame himself.
Ray regretted a little, if he listened to Jerry's advice and mobilized a division of the army back, he would not be so passive now, and he would have enough time to protect Klee's life. Feeling the heat and cold of Klee's body, Ray could imagine the piercing pain. Ray suddenly thought, could it be that Jerry's words were reminding him to be careful? Ray felt a trace of gratitude in his heart, and couldn't help but glance back, only to see Jerry and them rushing out with a large number of generals. Ray cursed in a low voice: "Wait, it won't take too much time for Karub's army to come over, and when the time comes, I will definitely repay you well... The Wright Empire will definitely not help, so I can only go to the 'City of God'. β
Hearing Ray's call, Beamon, Lomat, and Ingle rushed over with their weapons. Seeing this situation, the three of them didn't have much to ask. Ingle cleared the way in front, Rocat covered Ray's side, and Beamon was at the back with an iron bar with one arm. Ingle shouted loudly: "Damn, someone, someone... Damn, are they all dead?" Ingle wanted to mobilize the guards in the manor, but these guards had already been overturned by people who were willing to persuade them to drink, how could they move at this moment?
Ray cursed in a low voice: "Damn, Ingle, you are the fastest, rush out and mobilize the army, go quickly." β
As soon as Ray's order was issued, a vicious wind came from behind him. The one-armed Beamon slammed into Ray's back with a stick, and the heavy blow made the unsuspecting Ray stumble and almost fall. Rokat and Ingle exclaimed, and they looked at the frantically retreating Beamon and shouted, "Beamon, are you crazy?"
Andrei's voice came from afar: "Hahaha, he is not crazy, but what can a one-armed general do? Will he act as someone's butler until he dies? I promised General Beamon to make him the military governor of the three provinces, what is he not satisfied with?" At this time, the sword light suddenly flashed, Beamon screamed loudly, and the sudden flash of Alexandria's sword slashed Beamon's thigh off, and then Alexander disappeared into the darkness again.
Alexandre knew that his swordsmanship did not have much power in front of these masters, and he could only hide it immediately after a sneak attack, otherwise he would be killed immediately.
Ray is bitter and knows that his fighting spirit is blocking Klee and the toxicity in his body, and the defense power in his body is almost zero. Beamon's stick nearly cracked his spine. Thunder roared like a wounded tiger and roared, "Rush out, let's go to Karub's station." Ray didn't believe that as long as he got to the barracks, who else would be able to deal with him.
Lomat's faint voice came: "No need to go, Karub and they have been anesthetized by the medicine and wine I sent, and they are sleeping comfortably now... Big brother, you have nowhere to go, in a hurry, you have no way to command the army... In particular, in order to celebrate your wedding, I have sent a large amount of medicinal liquor mixed with narcotics to each camp, and I'm afraid that few of those soldiers are sober, sorry, big brother. β
Thunder let out an angry roar, and Inger let out a sharp shout, and a sword split the courtyard wall in front of him, and shouted loudly: "Your Excellency, you go quickly, Rocat, you cover your lordship's departure, and I will stop them." "Ingle's 'God Ture' sword emitted a bright and dazzling light, and a terrible sword aura swept towards the pursuers in the rear, and Sha Poke, who was rushing in front, changed his face, grabbed a knight from the Dak Empire next to him and threw it out, and the knight didn't snort and turned into more than a dozen pieces of meat and spilled it.
Ray and Rocat, who had rushed out of the courtyard wall, suddenly stopped, and in front of them, a neat line of horses stopped in front of them. The aura emanating from those knights wearing golden armor obviously surpassed the strength of the golden fifth-order knights. They are densely packed, with a scale of more than 10,000 people.
Andre smiled proudly: "General Lei, I also want to thank you for your 'Mad King Formula', the people who cultivate the Mad King Jue in the empire are not the so-called three thousand people of Shagru, but the fifteen thousand people I presided... Hahahaha, fifteen thousand knights who are loyal to me surpass the strength of the Golden Fifth Order. I've brought 10,000 people with me this time, I think it's enough for you to bear, right? Everyone, not two of them can be easily defeated by Roctart and Ingle, let alone 10,000 people?"
Lomat's voice sounded again: "The remaining five thousand people have been distributed on the road to the major garrisons of the Dragon Legion, big brother, you don't have to think about mobilizing troops through their blockade." In particular, you have been busy organizing weddings for the past half a year, and the 200,000 soldiers of the Crazy Dragon Legion who have newly added them are actually all private soldiers of His Royal Highness the Prince, which is unimaginable for the eldest brother. I'm sorry, maybe Big Brother can't command the Dragon Legion anymore. β
Ray was completely stunned. He turned his head slowly and said gloomily, "Lomat, all these plans are what you want to do, right?"
Lomat lowered his head, nodded and said: "I'm sorry, His Royal Highness is in control of my father's life and death, and I can only ... I'm sorry. β
Lei took a long breath, looked at the 10,000 golden-armored knights in front of him who cultivated the 'Mad King Technique', and then looked at the large number of generals directly commanded by the princes of sixteen countries behind him, Lei slowly put Klee's body on the ground. The intense poison immediately made Klee's body stiff like wood, and then a little bit of hoarfrost enveloped Klee's body.
Everyone was frightened, and Jerry screamed, "Ray, you, you're killing Klee with your own hands, you, you, you're crazy?"
Lei's eyes slowly turned red, and he roared like crazy, and the roar like thunder spread throughout the grassland: "It's not that I'm crazy, it's you who are crazy... Remember, when I come back, I will take revenge, I swear, I will take revenge on you. Ray's heart was distressed, but he had no choice, the poisoned wine he was contaminated with had corroded a quarter of his body, and he couldn't hold on to it himself, and he couldn't take care of Klee at all.
'Lover's Kiss' is really like sugar and honey, hot and cold, and a poisonous thing that kills people.
Ray drew the saber 'Lionheart' from his waist and slashed it out, "You guys, get out of the way." Van people, do not fight with Van himself. Lei silently thanked God, at the wedding, he usually only wore a ceremonial sword, but his habit dictated that he wore the 'lionheart' to the wedding.
A fierce sword wind slashed out, and Andre roared hoarsely: "Stop him, kill him, kill him at all costs, kill him, kill him... Whoever kills him, I will make him the Grand Duke. β
The dense crowd of knights in front of them suddenly moved, and they rode their horses towards Thunder and slaughtered them.
Thunder let out a long howl, pulled Rocatt and Ingle with one hand, and shouted loudly: "Let's go, the dragon army is no longer enough to be our barrier, let's go... Let's go to the imperial capital to see Your Majesty. Andrey, I will make you regret it, you will definitely regret it. Ray's whole body was shrouded in white-gold light, and he clashed out with the same oblique arrows as Roctat and Ingle. None of the knights had time to stop them, and they watched as Thunder roared madly and rushed out. A few knights barely had time to slash out a sword, but their blades were immediately distorted by the sword qi lurking in the wind.
Alexand, who was crooked and twisted, spat out a mouthful of blood, cursed, and fled quickly after the thunder.
Andrei cursed in a low voice: "Damn it, this time, our feud is great. Looking at Klee's cold corpse that had been covered in frost, Andre sneered: "What a ruthless boy, it's really a military general's style, when it is broken, it will be broken... He commanded loudly: "Everyone, pay attention, chase down Ray and Ingle and Rocat, and kill them at all costs... Jerry, I'll give you a chance, you go and take over the dragon legion, purge Ray's cronies, and then, you lead the warriors loyal to me, block the border, and round up Ray... Don't forget, your family is also the target of his revenge now, you don't want your family to be killed by that madman Lei, right?"
Jerry's body shuddered and fell to his knees wordlessly. Next to him, Lomat also fell to his knees weakly.
A terrible roar came: "What the hell are you trying to do, you bastards, what are you doing, are you all crazy?"
Everyone turned around, but they were shocked, and the drunken Bobcart stood at the gap in the wall, staring blankly at Klee's corpse and the ten thousand knights who pursued Ray.
Andre was speechless for a moment, and Bobkat had already raised his giant sword: "You damn bastards, is this how you treat the heroes of your country?"
