Chapter 348: Prologue (2) Before the Imperial City

Walking out of the outer part of the imperial capital, known as the "ghetto", passing through the middle and ornate central districts, which can be said to be normal, Marshal Miridrian and his knights finally arrived in front of the main gate of the imperial city.

After the six men dismounted according to the regulations, they walked towards the interior of the imperial city with a decent pace under the leadership of the marshal, but they were stopped by one of the guards.

"I'm very sorry, Your Excellency Marshal Miridrian. ”

The knight of the janitor flashed out from the side to block Miridrian's path in time, and at the same time raised his right hand slightly to the position in front of his chest and made a "stop" gesture.

Seeing this, Miridrian couldn't help but stop, and the knights behind him also stopped. Although he followed the doorman's instructions, he also showed an unpleasant expression as a matter of course.

"What do you mean?" Miridrian asked.

When a person like him comes to meet him, it stands to reason that each checkpoint will be notified in advance in the imperial city. It is understandable that the guards at the outermost gate don't know him, and it's normal that the guards at the last two gates of the three districts don't know him, but since the guards at the gate of the imperial city have been notified in advance, they should know him now, even if they didn't know him before.

What's more, there is now obvious evidence that the knight in front of him did recognize Miridrian's identity, that is, when the knight came up to stop him, he did not ask Miridrian's identity but directly called "Marshal". In that case, what is the reason why he still wants to stop it?

Gazing at the Marshal of the Imperial Army, the guard felt a little frightened, so he quickly replied, "That's right. Your Majesty will only allow His Excellency the Marshal to enter the room, and the rest of you will be asked to stay here. ”

"Your Majesty, yes. ”

Talking like this, Miridian couldn't help but sneer. Of course, he did not look down on the current emperor, although it was only a girl who was only fourteen years old and still wearing a double ponytail, but he had already sworn allegiance to him.

So, he was not laughing at the emperor, but at this order in the name of "Your Majesty". Actually, it should not be "Your Majesty" but "Your Excellency", Your Excellency, Prime Minister.

That's right, the current empire is in a situation where the prime minister is based on the concept of "aristocracy first", and Rossbier von Klesim is holding the Son of Heaven hostage to order the princes. That's a man with only huge desires and little cleverness, and there is no place for the word "prime minister" to match.

So why did such a person sit in such a high position? To answer this question, we have to talk about the court struggle of the former prime minister that was so funny that it made people laugh at it.

The former chancellor, Rudorich von Kleisim, is known by name as the brother of the current prime minister's mother, and of course the leader of the previous "aristocracy" faction.

The political opponent of the former prime minister was none other than the former emperor of the empire, who was supposed to be sacrosanct, that is, the former emperor Uthaya Vi Ayavinia, a good man who believed in "people-orientedness" even though he was the largest nobleman in the empire.

The Imperial Army was created by him to deal with the nobles who had rebelled against his new policy.

This former emperor was supposed to write a strong mark in the history of the empire as a man of great talent, but he was too kind, but he fell for the tricks of his opponents and died of "food poisoning".

Hmph! Poisoning is true, but it should be "prime minister" rather than "food".

In short, the former prime minister poisoned the first emperor under the guise of using this name, and arranged all the plans for monopolizing power, but in the end he was seized by his younger brother who can play tricks.

And this is only because, the moment he learned of the emperor's death, he was so excited that he went into cardiac arrest, and then he turned into a pile of light chips on the spot and returned to the arms of the gods. In this regard, in addition to the word "heavenly punishment", what else can be evaluated?

It's just that from the fact that Rossbill has been able to successfully ascend to the throne and control the government for five years, it seems that God still hasn't been able to completely open his eyes. It's just that the people of the empire believe not in heaven, but in the apostles of God, that is, angels.

Although Marshal Miridrian has always maintained the image of a pure soldier who only obeys orders, he is clear about this series of secrets in his heart. Therefore, after hearing the word "Your Majesty" at this moment, he immediately understood that this was actually the meaning of the prime minister. The purpose is probably to keep the guard safe.

What a cautious guy.

However, even so, as long as this order bears the name of "Your Majesty", he must obey it.

"I see. So Miridrian said something that relieved the guard who stood in the way.

"Your Excellency!" Dilan, who was following the marshal, couldn't help but cry out very worriedly.

The current imperial city is simply the prime minister's lair. Therefore, it is impossible for Dylan to accept such a thing as letting the beloved marshal take risks alone!

"It doesn't matter. The marshal, however, said, "This is an order from His Majesty." ”

When he said this again, Miridian bit the word "Your Majesty" with great weight, emphasizing the seriousness of the righteousness of the order he had received.

Dilan naturally understood this prompt, and after gritting his teeth fiercely, he could only say this: "Understood." The subordinate was rude. ”

"Hmm. Nodding, Miridian turned back to face his five Guardsmen, "Give you three hours of free time before meeting here." It's rare to come to the imperial capital to relax. ”

"Thank you for your kindness!" Dylan replied in a booming voice along with the other four knights.

"Then disband. ”

I wanted to say this, but Miridian changed the content as he spoke: "Dilan, do you remember what I told you when I entered the city?"

This refers to the matter of disowning yourself from the black street.

Thinking like this, Dylan couldn't help but show an unbearable expression, but still nodded solemnly.

"I knew I had to do it. ”

"Good. Well, disband!"

"Yes!"

At the command of the marshal, Dylan and four other knights performed the imperial military salute, which was a ritual of striking the heart with his right fist to express "the heart as evidence". Then, the five of them left together for the time being.

Ignoring the men's discourse about where he wanted to go, Miridian turned back to face the Imperial City gates, his eyes glaring with majesty at the knight of the guard who was still standing in front of him.

"Stand down. ”

"Yes!" replied loudly and quickly, and the knight gave a military salute, then hurried out of the way.

Immediately, Miridrian took a big step and led his military horse towards the interior of the imperial city.
