Chapter 85: His Royal Highness

In the Royal Hunting Palace, where Shagru and a group of courtiers took refuge, Shagru, who was full of anger, received Kazafi, Jerry, Ray and other high-ranking generals of the Five Beast Legions. Seeing Ray and them appear in front of him, Shagru was like a bullied child who saw his mother, and greeted him excitedly, shouting loudly: "Oh my God, my God, you guys are finally back, I'm almost worried about death, not to mention the rebellion in the four provinces in the east, the 'Divine City' in the northwest has been conquered, my God, what day is this year? ”

After a moment's gasp, Shagru waved his arm fiercely and shouted, "Good, good, it's good that you're back." I have drafted an edict to make Kari completely disappear from this continent by the Ou and their family and the other three bold families. Shaxx is right, some nobles within the empire have begun to completely hatch and degenerate, and they no longer take me as the emperor in their eyes, first Walters, and then Kari was overwhelmed by them. I should have known a long time ago that there must have been some reason why Kari was provoked by Earl Ou last time he dared to provoke right and wrong in the imperial capital. ”

Gracefully stepping on the spot to the dance of a court transaction, Shagru gently flicked the tip of his beard with his right hand, and said fiercely: "Now that I have enough troops at hand, I will let them go to hell." Hmph, Messo, I'll issue the edict to the whole continent later, I want to make Kari understand that it's absolutely stupid to take the opportunity to blackmail my Majesty Shagru... Then, we waved our army north, and taught those sinners a little lesson, and I don't believe that they can take advantage of the allied forces of the entire continent. ”

Shagru stopped very gracefully in place, his right hand lightly rested on his chest, and bowed slightly, as if a noble son who had just finished dancing was at the curtain call. Kazafi and they looked at each other for a moment, and said angrily: "Your Majesty, we already know everything about what happened, our legion has broken through the rebel blockade of the Teke Canyon, and the imperial capital has been placed under the absolute security of the arch. ”

Jerry smiled and said, "The 50,000 garrisons you left in the Imperial Capital have done their job well, and not a single rebel has been able to set foot in the sacred Battle City. This is the news we got before we just came in to meet you, and it's all good news, the rebels led by the Orn family have heard that we have broken through the blockade of the first line of the Turk Canyon, and they have retreated towards their territory in disarray, maybe they want to use the terrain and the fortress they run to make a final resistance, but this is not enough. ”

Gaddafi laughed: "At the same time, we have another piece of good news to report to you, but the minister feels that it is necessary for us to discuss this matter privately." ”

Shagru glanced at Bobkaat quickly, a smile on his face, and he nodded repeatedly, "It's natural, aha, everything is so perfect." Heaven still protects our empire, how can those rebellious ministers and thieves have the opportunity to shake the foundation of our empire? That is absolutely impossible. Shagru was happy for a long time, his face suddenly changed, he looked at Lei and them blankly, jumped up on the spot, and shouted: "But, but, I really wonder, how can you get the news back in such a timely manner? You should still be on the territory of the Smart Empire, how can you suddenly appear here? Ray, you tell me, did you lose the battle in the south?"

Lei hurriedly bowed and said, "No, Your Majesty, our battle is going well, and the specific matter will be explained to you by Lord Jerry." I may not be very clear. ”

Jerry took a step forward, bowed slightly, and replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, rest assured, the battle in the south was very successful. We captured half of the Smart Empire, and forced the combined forces of the Wright Empire and the Dak Empire to fight a decisive battle with the Smart Empire in the Plains of Hell. Our Guards and Praetorian Guards did their duty well, and they firmly guarded the border, so that reinforcements from Wright and Darker could not enter the Smart Empire. However, we ran into dragons. ”

Shagru froze for a moment, he nodded slightly, his mouth made a circle, and let out a soft 'oh' sound: "I see, the dragons who conquered the 'Divine City', right? Are they returning to their own homeland on the southern island? They met you, and they told you that the 'Divine City' has fallen, is that so?"

Jerry slapped his ass lightly: "Your Majesty, everything is as you said." After we learned the news of the fall of the 'Divine City', judging by the time, there should be a message to the front line in the imperial capital at that time, but we never waited for the messenger of the imperial capital, and at the insistence of General Lei, we reached a peace agreement with several other countries, and we withdrew our troops first. The armies of the other empires will arrive in about two months at the latest... This time, thanks to General Lei, he felt that the emperor was in trouble, so we made the decision to return to the division. ”

Shagru glanced at Lei appreciatively, nodded and said, "General Lei, I didn't misunderstand you, you are a courtier who puts the safety of me and the empire first. You are an example of a loyal servant of the Empire, and I will reward you well. He searched on his left breast, and finally found a Grand Cross of Valor Medallion symbolizing the highest honor of the Vatican Empire among the medals and ribbons. He untied the medal from his chest and pinned it to Ray's chest with his own hands.

When Lei fell to his knees on one knee in panic, Shagru had already drawn his sword, tapped it lightly on Lei's shoulder, and whispered: "In recognition of General Lei's loyalty to the Empire, I hereby specially promote General Lei to the Marquis of the Empire. ”

Lei fell to his knees in a daze, and he was so easily promoted to marquis? Isn't that a joke?

Just when Lei Falen was in power, Shagru had already walked in front of Jerry, and untied an Imperial Lion Medal from under his Grand Cross Medal of Valor, and hung it on Jerry's chest, although he was not promoted to Jerry's title, but Shagru rewarded him with one-fifth of the territory of the Ou family, that is, one-fifth of the province, of course, until Kari was killed by the Ou family, Jerry could not take over that territory.

Gaddafi and his relative were awarded the Cross of the Order of Courage, the second highest rank in the Imperial Ranks, along with the Order of the Lion, after the Grand Cross for Valor. They also received one-fifth of the other three rebellious dukedoms, or one-fifth of the provinces. Moreover, Shagru promised them the freedom to choose the richest piece of land as their territory. As for Ray, in keeping with his status as a marquis, he was given two-fifths of the provinces.

Jerry, who knelt on the ground respectfully, made a grimace at Ray and made a few gestures that Ray was very familiar with: "Pink goblin, three months... Ray gently gave him a finger behind his back and answered his blackmail. Messeau and a group of other old guys, who were standing ten feet in front of the two of them, watched all the small movements of the two people, but they had kind smiles on their faces, and their demeanor was relaxed and elegant, and they didn't seem to see their indecent actions at all.

After the award, Shagru turned around, pointed at Bobkat, and said, "Very good, Prince Bobkat, you have done a good job with us this time, then, I hope you can do the same well in future battles." If you have always been a staunch friend of ours, when we have completely eliminated the sinners, if we can completely destroy them, your empire will be able to obtain a large piece of land on the God-given plain, a land that is not affected by the wind and frost even in the winter because of the care of the gods. ”

Without waiting for the startled Bobkat to come back to his senses, Shagru continued: "Of course, when we kill the damned sinners, we'll continue to teach the southern guys a lesson. When the time comes, a quarter of the land laid down will belong to your Bicester Empire. I mean, if we succeed in our war against the South after the war, and we destroy an empire, a quarter of that empire's territory, wealth, and people will belong to your Bicester Empire. ”

His naked words stirred up the anger in Bobkat's heart, and he raised his big fist and shouted in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, is this your promise to us?

Shagru Yin laughed: "The legend of the temple, come on, our Van Empire does not have such an institution as a temple. If those gods really had a miracle, they would not have allowed those filthy sinners to break through the great 'city of God,' which proves that they are powerless. Ha, if it weren't for the fact that the territory of our Van Empire is enough for our people in the early 100 million years to live, I would have emigrated there a long time ago, this is not a problem, if the sinners are all wiped out, the God-given Plains will have no master, if you are willing to take away a piece of land that should belong to you. ”

Bobkat didn't have time to say anything, and Shagru was already excitedly shouting: "Now, let's let our army go, let our army crush Kari to pieces by these bastards, hahahaha, chop them to pieces." Damn it... While the garrisons of the 'Divine City' are still monitoring the movements of the criminals, we must act as soon as possible, strive to take out those damned traitors in the fastest possible time, and then reinforce the 'Divine City'. ”

"Krees, you need to get in touch with the five empires in the south to see when their legions enter our territory. If they were to carry more food, grass and supplies on their own, it would be impossible for us in the Van Empire to provide all their needs. Messo, as I have just said, to issue my edict to the whole continent, so that the four families of Kari will have the most notorious reputation after their deaths. Siddock, you have to take your responsibility, our soldiers must reward those who have made meritorious deeds, and those who are wounded and crippled must arrange their family affairs, understand?"

In the end, Shagru's gloomy gaze looked at Shaxx: "Shaxx, people say that your garrison is a hyena with the most sensitive nose, then, find out those bastards for me, I don't believe that Kari's betrayal by Ou and them is simple, someone in the imperial capital must have a message to them, find out those people for me, I want those bastards to die, understand?"

The four old ministers bowed and respectfully answered Shagru's order. Shagru looked at these courtiers with satisfaction, and was about to say something, when a feminine and smooth voice suddenly came: "Okay, Your Majesty, I heard that several generals have returned to us, does it prove that we can return to the warm imperial capital? ”

With these words, a middle-aged man with slightly gray hair, but properly combed into a ponytail and tied behind his head with a purple ribbon, or a middle-aged man who was approaching old age, slowly walked out from behind the red curtain in the audience hall. He was wearing a wonderful dress, not because of how noble and elegant his dress was, but because his dress was adorned with diamonds, pearls, coral, purple jade, magic gold, mythril and other rare goods like stars on a summer night. At the same time, an exaggerated ribbon, also studded with jewels, ran from his left shoulder to near his right hip.

This middle-aged man's pants are also very individual. Pure purple leggings don't look special, but if his trousers reflect a subtle light, then it's clear that his trousers are mixed with some precious metal filaments, such as purple gold. Then, the value of these pants is worth twenty years of struggle for an imperial civilian family.

Add to that his boots, oh my God, those boots would have made the supreme god of light refuse to let this person into his temple, and perhaps the god of light would have thought that his temple would have desecrated these wonderful boots. The entire boot soles carved with precious magic crystal pith, the boot tops also made of purple gold wire, along the circle of patterns between the boot tops and the boot soles, are the entire edges carved out of a whole piece of purple ** power crystal, that is, the most precious kind of magic crystal, the value of these boots, but more than the total value of his clothes, ribbons, and pants.

Then, the right hand stretched out by this superb man was densely covered with nearly twenty rings of different materials, and the entire surface of his finger was covered by rings. Lei watched the middle-aged man walk out of behind the curtain gracefully, and there was only one thought in his heart: "His fist is more powerful than the strongest fist glove, as long as he punches, I'm afraid Jerry will faint, right? Look at the hardest and most precious materials in the world... His clothes are comparable to the most ornate armor, and the diamonds on them are enough for him to withstand the collective stabbing of a squadron of silver wolf heavy infantry, right?"

Not only Ray, but Jerry and Gaddafi were all stunned. It's a pity that God is not beautiful, if this middle-aged man approached Shagru's side, God playfully let in a ray of sunlight from the floor-to-ceiling window, the flash on this middle-aged man is enough to make others believe that he is the incarnation of the God of Light.

Ray looked at Shagru blankly and bowed, smiling and shouting, "Uncle, are you here?" Don't worry, those clowns won't be arrogant for long. Your midnight banquet can be further organized, and I will compensate you from the treasury for your loss this time. By the way, I will definitely go to your banquet, it must be a big deal that has not been seen on the entire continent. ”

The middle-aged man exclaimed excitedly: "Of course, Shagru, I am sure that even if he will not be the most luxurious banquet on the continent, it will at least be the most gorgeous, elegant, wonderful, and artistic banquet in the history of Furious Battle City." Oh, Shagru, I just can't bear the serious rigidity of the Berserk City, so I'm leaving the Berserk City and going to the West Green Province of the Van Empire, which has at least a little bit of elegance... ”

The Minister of Etiquette behind Shagru finally found an opportunity to exercise his authority, and he reported loudly: "His Royal Highness Prince Andrew has arrived. ”

Prince Andrew, Shagru's own uncle, the father of the chick who pestered him at the last court dinner. This long list of messages flashed in Ray's head, but his body, which had been 'destroyed' by the court hostesses and Jerry, had long been habitually kneeling, and kneeling ten times more respectful and formal than when he saw Shagrud.

Prince Andrei quickly approached Lei and them, and he whispered, "Oh, they are all pillars of the empire, really, really, great... It's a pity that I only have one medal on my body, otherwise, I would have given you one. However, I will choose one of you as your representative, and I will ask the Minister of Manners to reissue the rest of the medals to you... Oh, I'm used to seeing elegant gentlemen, noble nobles, and mighty knights, but this is the first time I've seen such a majestic figure as this one. In particular, your face is so unique that I really appreciate it, so if you have time, please come to my studio and I will paint you an oil painting of 'Scars, Men's Medals', how about it?"

Ray, Jerry, and Gaddafi looked up blankly, but Prince Andre had already untied an abstract and flowing silver medal from under his chest and pinned it to Ray's chest. The medal looks like a bird in flight.

Jerry and Gaddafi had a gloating look on their faces, which was inexplicably issued by the Van Empire ten years ago, a medal specially awarded to people who have made special contributions to the art of the Empire, that is, the "Imperial Bird Art Medal", which is known as the "shame of the soldiers" in the military department. Seeing that Rei had inexplicably received this medal, Jerry and Gaddafi were so happy that they wished that it would be known to the entire Imperial Army. But at the thought that he would also get such a medal, the faces of the two people immediately turned ugly.

I guess this damn medal is also Prince Andrei's proud masterpiece, but for the soldiers of the empire, what they dream of is the kind of medal that represents military merit, this kind of artistic medal, isn't it specially issued to women? How can they receive it?

Lei lightly shook the bird medal on his chest, showed a sincere smile and said, "It's a beautiful medal, it looks like a bird." ”

Shagru looked at Ray with a strange expression, and Andre grabbed Ray's shoulder with one hand as if he had met a bosom friend, and shouted: "Oh my God, my God, can you tell that this is a bird? What's your name? Tell me a little bit about abstract things in nature, and I'm sure we'll get to a consensus. ”

Shagru coughed awkwardly a few times, hesitated, he still *** his beard, and persuaded in a low voice: "Uncle, General Lei, they still have to lead our army to quell the rebellion, and after they have completed the pacification of the four provinces in the east, they will support the 'Divine City', and teach those sinners a good lesson, I order General Lei to accompany you to discuss the art for a year, how about it?"

Ray's face turned bitter, he knew to himself that asking himself to discuss art with Andre wouldn't it cost him his own life?

Who knew that as soon as Andre heard Ray's name, he immediately stood up straight in surprise, pointed at Ray's nose and lectured: "You are Ray? The arrogant Count Ray? Aha, my lovely Medusa invited you to dance, and you actually rejected her rudely, you guy who doesn't have any knightly manners, you... Andrei gasped a few times, indicating that he was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Lei hurriedly argued: "Your Royal Highness, I didn't mean anything else, at that time I was on the orders of His Majesty, I... ”

Shagru admired Ray a little more, but he knew very well how charming his cousin was, and Ray and Medusa could meet together, that is, at the court ball that day, right?

Shagru secretly made a gesture of approval to Leibi, but on the surface he reprimanded Lei very seriously: "Oh my God, Marquis Lei? Especially for a royal lady like Medusa, your behavior is simply shameful. So, I'm going to punish you, I'm going to have you dancing with Cousin Medusa for a whole night at the feast, understand? Now, go and give me an assessment of the rebellion of Kari by O's bastards. ”

Afterwards, Shagru tactfully persuaded Andrei: "Uncle, don't be angry, Ray is a simple young man, he doesn't know a lot of things, I will send ten court etiquette officers to train him well in the future." ”

Hearing Shagru's words, Jerry's face once again put on that gloating smile, and he secretly stuck out his tongue at Ray. Ray smiled dumbly, didn't dare to say anything, and walked through the door of the Hajj Hall of the Kazafi.

As if he had just remembered, Shagru said lazily: "General Gaddafi, do you still have a little time before you go? You can let General Lei and his group of young men go now, they are full of energy, you are such an old general, can you delay a little bit, for example, accompany me to dinner, how about it?"

Although Gaddafi was a barbarian, he also understood, and when it was his turn to tell Shagru the good news, he immediately stopped, turned around and bowed: "It's an honor, Your Majesty." ”

When Ray and the others walked out of the audience hall, they could also hear Andre relentlessly count Ray's faults in the back, as if he had put forward certain conditions, and what Ray had to do to restore his daughter's damaged mind to normal. But when he thought that the conditions were all irrelevant to accompany him to paint, he heard Shagru say yes, yes, yes, yes, presumably Ray was like a dead pig, and he was sold for three dollars and two dollars.

As soon as they reached the bottom of the steps of the audience hall, Jerry and the others laughed maniacally at the Bird Medal on Ray's chest. Thunder looked at Jerry and them in confusion, but heard Karubb's gloating voice: "My lord, congratulations on becoming the first man in the empire to receive this medal in the past ten years, that is, you are the first man to be officially awarded this medal since the establishment of this medal." ”

Ray froze, and he asked, "But, the Prince, he... ”

Lomat flicked his tongue lightly, and said very inventively: "Yes, yes, dear lord, dear brother, His Royal Highness was not awarded this medal, because he is the founder of this medal, he does not need to be awarded, he automatically gets such a medal." Ha ha... ”

Amidst the crazy laughter and the loud curse of the thunder, the Five Beast Legion set off again. The targets were the four provinces of the Eastern Rebellion.

The 10,000 elite dragon heavy cavalry led by Rocat, Ingle, and Beamon have rushed through thousands of miles in a row, far exceeding Thunder's journey... It's getting closer and closer to the 'City of God'...
