City on the Lake, the royal city of Ekhtadon.

The demon hunters have not yet returned, and the news that King Evan has suppressed the demon plague and cleansed the land has spread throughout the royal city. Not only the propaganda of the official institutions, but also the lifting of the lockdown order, the merchants, adventure groups, and travelers who traveled to and from various parts of the border brought good news to the people of the royal city one after another—the strengthening of law and order, the resumption of production, the almost extinction of monster attacks on humans, and the greatly reduced number of missing people.

Even the most enclosed 'dead house' can feel the flow of people to and from the royal city has increased dramatically, and the street market that was not very busy in the past is now crowded.

This is ironclad proof of the great results of the Demon Hunting War.

Similar news was sensational for the subjects of the empire, and there may have been various class contradictions between the nobility and the royal power, between the countrymen and the nobility, between the priests and the royal power. But these contradictions are all small contradictions in the face of the demonic calamity, and the invasion of the Dreadbeast is an overriding contradiction for all Menes.

Because of this, although the cabinet has repeatedly ordered that no triumphal ceremonies be held, the people still spontaneously poured into the streets, and carried out round after round of carnivals with lanterns.

The demonic plague that has plagued the empire for several years and terrified everyone has fallen into an unprecedented trough under the blow of King Evan. In a short period of time, it gave the people an unprecedented sense of happiness, the result of happiness. It was the recognition of the imperial administrative system that became higher, and the legitimacy of the royal power was correspondingly improved.

Even if the nobles and lords engaged in a series of reforms by King Evan complained, the six major families killed were full of heads, and there was a black history of helpless betrayal of the country. Now no one dares to jump out and question whether he is qualified to be the king, after all, the legitimacy of royal power comes from the acceptance of the people, and the acceptance of the people is closely related to the monarch's civil and martial arts.

And overthrowing the enemy of the human race, the Dreadbeast, is definitely the highest level of martial arts, and any negative news in front of it is a black spot on the surface of the sun, which is not enough to offset the sun's rays. Even the aristocratic lords claimed that in order to avenge his wife's contempt and oppression in the past, King Evan actually ordered the dignified queen of the empire to put on a harness and dress up as a horse for him to gallop, which became an insignificant peach-colored scandal at this time.

It must be fake!

Riding a horse to play such an astringent thing, the wise and martial King Evan would never do it. It must have been because a series of reforms harmed the interests of the nobility, and they fabricated these false rumors in retaliation, deliberately smearing and slandering His Majesty - almost all ordinary people in the royal city today are indignant.

......

Three days later, in the early morning, the bridge across the river was covered with flower petals, the music roared, and the onlookers on both sides of the road stretched from the entrance of the city gate to the royal court.

This ruined empire is preparing to welcome their triumphant king.

At the end of the bridge across the lake with gray volcanic stones, six rows of Corona Knights floated side by side on the horizon. Six traveling birds of the same coat color strode with their heads held high, leading the Japanese wheel flag to sail.

"Hooray!

With a burst of cheers, the musicians blew brass horns into the air, and the crowd waved and threw brightly colored petals.

The Corona Knights' formation crossed the bridge in a neat and expressionless formation, giving them a strong sense of freshness - it felt a little strange, but it felt like this was what a battle-battled army should be.

"Hooray!

The Corona Knights were greeted, and it was the Artillery Corps that waited for everyone to watch the salute, and if the Knights gave them a feeling of excitement. Then when these troops carrying steel cannons cross the bridge, they feel shocked. Especially the people from other places who have seen the artillery salvo, one after another, they have passed the artillery into a steel dragon - it can make a sky-shaking dragon roar, spray flames and breathe, and be invulnerable to knives and guns, isn't it a dragon!

It's a pity that the general public has a limited level of appreciation, and can only look at the materials and lines of the artillery—such as the larger the caliber, the more beautiful, the faster and more elegant the rate of fire, and the more the quantity, the more substantial, which is difficult to understand with their current level of knowledge.

"Hooray!

The troops striding along with a new round of cheers were the Rocket Corps, which carried the small 'steel dragon' army and stepped across the bridge with their heads held high. was ready to show his most heroic image in front of the people, but in exchange for people's suspicious eyes.

Although they didn't stop cheering for the face, the people obviously didn't like the little steel dragon very much after they had just seen the big steel dragon. The bigger the steel dragon weapon, the better! What kind of steel dragon is a steel dragon that can resist with its shoulders, at best, it can only be called a steel dragon cub! A troop that takes a steel dragon cub to the battlefield...... Probably a second-rate legion, or it's in charge of logistics, or it's a big steel dragon who helps take care of the little steel dragon and comfort the battle?

In this way, in the contemptuous eyes of the people, the rocket corps passed the bridge deck with great aggrievedness.

"Hooray!

This time, it was the Demon Hunter and the Priest Regiment, and in the face of these armies composed entirely of capable people, the people could only look up and be in awe. As if they didn't want money, they threw flower petals and colored cloth with all their might, but due to an inexplicable sense of alienation, the cheers were much quieter.

"Hooray!

After the Demon Hunter Regiment and the Priest Regiment passed, the cheers of the people suddenly became unprecedentedly enthusiastic, and thunderous applause broke out one after another. Because the next army to pass through the bridge deck was not any other force, but the backbone of the demon hunting army - the heavy infantry phalanx.

These warriors have no special abilities, no handsome mounts, and no eye-catching weapons, and are as unknown among the demon hunters as ordinary people. However, it is the indispensable main force in frontal combat, and it is also the unit with the heaviest casualties in every battle, undertaking the most important task of the army, but there is little honor and applause in comparison.

This time, the people made up for their missing sense of honor, not only because they were 'down-to-earth', but more importantly, Evan wore the Medal of Honor to each of them. In the face of these shiny, golden gadgets, the first reaction of the people when they saw them was the loot, and then they naturally applauded desperately.

"Hooray! Hooray!"

After the passage of the heavy infantry legion, the cheers of the people did not decrease, but increased, and a smell of frenzy filled the air - after waiting for so long, they finally welcomed the honor guard of His Majesty the Sun King.

The sun-wheel battle flags on a white background and Phnom Penh stand on both sides of the Sun Imperial Rim to stretch out their majestic posture, and the well-equipped and magnificent Holy Army is simultaneously parallel on both sides of the Sun Imperial Rim. They held red flags in their hands, and after deliberately releasing light energy, they appeared to be surrounded by flames and filled with golden light.

The majesty of the chariot driver's honor guard is so that all the admirers have an impulse to bow and worship.

With a neat crisp sound of "Qiang", the Holy Army suddenly pulled out his belt and saluted with his sword to the surrounding onlookers. That large piece of snow-bright silver light did blind the eyes of many people, but because it was too cool, and it was the first time that the royal family saluted ordinary people, it really moved these people to tears.

"Long live His Majesty the Sun King!"

"Long live His Majesty the Sun King!"

"Long live His Majesty the Sun King!"

The cheers were like the tide of the sea, and after feeling the unprecedented sense of presence, the residents of the royal city gathered on both sides of the road and spontaneously saluted the position of the sun king.

Seeing this scene, Evan smiled very implicitly on the surface and waved to everyone, but his heart was cracked. It seems that no matter what plane or country, a wonderful military parade is a means to enhance national pride and increase the cohesion of the people.

In fact, he didn't plan to hold a military parade at all, and even ordered the cabinet not to disturb the people, and it was the right thing to recuperate during this time. Who would have thought that the people would be so happy, and they actually spontaneously discussed early and prepared to hold a triumphal ceremony on the day of the return of the army.

In this case, how can such an opportunity to raise the morale of the army out of thin air and improve the sense of honor of the soldiers be missed!?

He ordered the civil and military officials to stay in the palace of King Quan and wait for his return, and strictly forbade these people who might cause trouble to participate in the triumphal ceremony. He also ordered the army to slow down its return, and gave a reward along the way, and taught some of the techniques of the parade. When the army was well trained, they almost arrived at the royal city, so there was this scene in front of them - there will definitely be no fewer opportunities to use soldiers in the future, and the higher the honor of the soldiers, the better it is to recruit soldiers.

This bright path of flowers leads to the royal court in the center of the city, where it is guarded by guards dressed in red dresses. Xia Li stood in front of the royal court in a long purple dress, like a delicate violet blooming in the red flower path. The oncoming wind ruffled her short hair, fluttering with golden lines that reflected the sun.

"Greetings to Your Majesty's triumph. She lifted the corners of her skirt and bowed to the chariot.

"No courtesy, no courtesy!" Ivan smiled and jumped off the chariot, took her little hand, and helped her up.

Ever since the last time she took her to a Space Fortress and introduced the seals to her, this little girl has been fighting a cold war with him since she came back. On the surface, he is respectful, but in fact, he even avoids him when he eats, and he must be sulking.

Evan pondered that she was willing to come forward to meet her, probably because she was angry, or maybe it was because she didn't forcibly give her marriage - in this case, the marriage of the seal Lolita was blown, who made Xia Li dislike him.

One by one, one by one

In the depths of the royal court, the dormitory.

The bedroom was a mess, with expensive jewelry, cosmetics, and art pouring all over the floor, and sharp coffins blooming with the sunlight shining through the windows.

Elu Lomei knelt weakly on the bright red carpet, hung her head very low, wrapped her hands around her chest, hugged herself hard, her fingers became more and more pale because of the exertion, and the silver hair full of texture covered half of her pretty face, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

The cheers outside gradually subsided, and the sound of horses' hooves hitting the road was heard in the palace - looking at the entire royal city, who else would dare to drive near the dormitory except the Sun King himself!?

"He's back...... These honors, these cheers, should have been mine! He took it all...... And then imprison me in this hellish place...... Isolate me from the world. She suddenly raised her head, and her silver eyes with tears were clear and translucent, and they were so beautiful that they would make people feel sad.

The tears of a beauty are always a big killer for men, and for a woman like Eru Lomei, who has a disaster-level beauty, her tears are even more powerless. Although she was once the king of this empire and had the force to burn down the city and destroy the country, her incomparable beauty soaked in tears still made people can't help but see her as a weak girl.

As if time had willingly stood still for her, the horse's hooves gradually faded away, and quiet returned to inside and outside the dormitory. It lasted until the sun went down, until the sound of steady footsteps stepped into the dormitory and went straight to the bedroom.

“......”

Ivan looked around the messy room, his eyes resting on Eru Romei who was kneeling on the ground, and looking at her curvy figure from behind: "Do you dislike this room, or don't you want to hear the news of my triumphant return!?"

"What are you going to do with me, what else can I do?"

Eru Lomme turned her head sharply and glared at him with a pair of beautiful eyes full of tears, and her voice sounded like withered petals:

"I have succumbed, I have repented, and I am even willing to dress myself up as a lowly slave girl and serve you in the most humble way. How long are you going to torture me, and you're going to make this my grave and let me die and rot!?"

"Do you want me to believe your words, or do you want me to believe your tears?"

Evan walked up to her, leaned over to hold her face, and stared at those silver-gray eyes, "Just as you won't trust me, I won't trust you." But as long as you insist, I'm willing to set you free...... You're nothing right now anyway. ”

“......”

Eru Rome's eyes widened, and she wrenched away from his hands, kneeling and straightening up: "Freedom? I don't want that kind of thing! Let me share your power and glory, I am willing to be your queen and bear you children!"

"Would you be so well-behaved?"

"Yes, as long as you give me an order, I am willing to obey!" she looked at him expectantly.

"Then let me see your attitude. ”

Evan looked down at her condescendingly, reached out to untie his belt, and then slowly raised his hands: "Haven't you done the exercises?

“......”

Eru Lomei's eyes became empty for a moment, tears slowly flowed down, and she tried to squeeze out a graceful smile, and leaned forward to give a fragrant kiss.

"Whew! good...... That's it. ”

Evan shuddered in comfort, then hugged her head to see her surrender from this angle. At this time, she had a bewildering beauty, not because of her delicate features and beautiful complexion, but because of the smell of holiness being defiled.

He loved it.

Eru Lomei swallowed hard, breathing heavily, and she felt like she was shattering, little by little, into another strange self. Months of worry finally became a reality, her life finally came to this point, her body, her chastity, her beauty finally saved herself, but also tore the original pride.

To make matters worse, she didn't hate the feeling, but rather a sense of relief.

If he can climb to the pinnacle of power again, what is the price, as long as he can always give him what he wants, even if he is 10,000 times more ashamed!
