Walking outside the bright streets of the imperial city, shuttling through the dark and dirty poor streets and alleys, Yang was in a trance, and it seemed that the night lights of the imperial capital were brilliant, like a strange dream, bringing his thoughts into a world that he had never seen before.

No, not a world you've never seen before, that's this world.

Yang thought.

It's just a side of this world that no one has ever seen.

Holding on to the root of the wall, Yang walked with difficulty, the injuries caused by Sven were still there, although the vampire's system could be recovered as soon as possible, but he still lacked some necessary ingredients.

"Gross-"

A dull feeling of nausea welled up in his chest, and Yang covered his mouth and retched. Although it has become like this, it has not been able to adapt well to this body, and the sense of incongruity has become stronger after being interfered with by Atropos.

There is no strength in his body, and although his magic power has recovered a lot, Yang has not yet found a prey worthy of using his magic power to hunt and eat. It was probably Sven's appearance of continuing to fight after losing his magic power that gave Yang a big blow, and made him wonder if he could continue to fight in the same realm.

Of course, the answer is no, in the first fight with Swain, Young, who has run out of magic power, loses the ability to fight, and can only be beaten by Swain against the wall.

"Jericho ......" Yang sat down in the corner, his breathing was very disordered, his physical condition was worse than being exposed to the sun, "What is the point of this kind of fight, there is such a thing...... What difference will the outcome of such a struggle be?"

He sneered to himself, as if he were laughing at himself.

There was a sound of footsteps at the other end of the alley, Yang Bing's cold eyes turned over, and two shirtless men walked into this gloomy alley.

At first, they walked towards the alley as if they hadn't seen Yang at all, but when they passed in front of Yang, one of the men looked at Yang, then pushed his companion next to him with his elbow, and said to him: "Look, this kid's eye color and hair color are rare!"

His companion turned his face and looked at Yang casually. "Ah, it's really rare, it looks like a little kid who hasn't even grown hair, maybe it's a wild dog somewhere to grab food and lose, so I came here to lick my wounds!"

"Haha!" the two men laughed out loud.

Yang couldn't help clenching his fists, once upon a time, he would be ridiculed and ridiculed by such a worm at the bottom of society, which was definitely unbearable for the arrogant Yang.

"Hey, look at the way he looks. The man who looked at Yang first pointed at Yang and said to his companion with a sneer, "It looks like it's going to eat us, it's really exactly like those wild dogs!"

"Hey, boy. Another man lined up his companions, walked up to Yang, stretched out his hand, and carried a few coins in his hand, "Do you want Uncle to reward you with something?"

"Look at his face, he actually looks pretty good!" said the man who was watching the show next to him, "Maybe it's actually a girl?"

"Huh, you really look a little bit like that......"

"Dogs. ”

The two men were stunned for a moment, looking at Yang who suddenly spoke, and they instinctively felt that something was wrong.

"Since it's a dog...... Yang slowly raised his head, and in those scarlet eyes, anger was already burning irrepressibly, "Since it's a dog, don't bark at me!"

He jerked his hand and grabbed the neck of the man standing in front of him, who had not yet come to his senses, and then his body quickly dried up, as if all the moisture in his body had been absorbed, and in a matter of seconds he turned into a withered corpse.

His companion was so frightened by this scene that his soul flew away, and he didn't care about his friend's life or death, and hurriedly ran out of the alley.

"Kill, kill, monster!" he shouted, hoping that this would make Yang afraid of the crowd outside the alley, and not dare to chase him, and at the same time the speed under his feet did not dare to slow down at all, but he was afraid that if he slowed down, he would fall into the same fate as his companions.

But he didn't even escape from the alley, he was grabbed by a tentacle and pulled back into the alley, and then a few low miserable screams came from the alley, but they didn't make any waves in the brightly lit streets.

Only an old drunkard faintly woke up drunk, and seemed to hear a few cries, but then he closed his eyes and went to dream again.

Yang walked out of the alley after replenishing his food, and his state was much better at this time, and even his pale face looked much rudder and a little bloody.

"Manfred, did Jerry Co kill him?" he began to think about this question, although from all indications, it was only Swain who could kill Manfred, but judging from Swain's reaction, Yang didn't feel that Sven was deliberately concealing, although he hated Swain, but he had to admit that Sven was not the kind of person who would deliberately hide something, he disdained to do such things, just like Yang himself.

"Looks like it's time to look into it. ”

——————————————

"The last communication from the Kingdom of León was a week ago. In the Madok chamber, Prime Minister Pitt whispered to Alexander and his cabinet colleagues, "A week ago, the desert people captured the kingdom's capital, León, and most of the royal family of León were killed in this catastrophe, and the brutal desert people killed the king of Leon and several princes in their most barbaric and uncivilized way, and sacrificed them to their gods. ”

"Barbarian!" Alexander whispered, with a gloomy face.

"At present, several remnants of the royal family of León have fled to the northern part of the Badajoz Peninsula, bordering the province of Navarari on the border of the Duchy of Cogas, and the desert people have not continued their northward movement for the time being due to supply problems, but they have slaughtered the city of León after the massacre, and it is only a matter of time before they can resupply them - as long as they continue to raid along the way, they will always be able to collect food and supplies. ”

Alexander bared his teeth and his expression was very ugly, and the other cabinet ministers were similar, the inhumane behavior of the desert people had aroused their anger, whether it was from the perspective of moral conscience or political interests, as the decision-makers of the world's first power, they could not remain silent, they must take on the responsibility of the protector of the Kingdom of Leon, and deal a good blow to the arrogance of the desert people, otherwise, those barbarians from the Red Earth Continent will really think that their strength has surpassed the empire and can ride on the head of the empire。

"Marshal Rudolph and the 140,000 Imperial Standing Army, where are they now?" Alexander bit his lip, and his voice was so muffled that everyone could hear it, and he was quite angry.

When the marshal heard the news that the riots in the imperial capital had been quelled, he immediately turned back and continued to go south with the main force to pacify the rebellious southern princes' territories. Minister Guderian, who was wounded at the meeting, immediately spoke up, "He has specially sent the Iron Sun Legion from the Great Bolos to Pritown to stabilize the local situation and be ready for your orders. ”

"Hmm. Alexander nodded, he was quite satisfied with the old marshal's disposition, if there had been such a legion waiting for his orders in Pritown before Beria's rebellion, then Beria would not have been able to make such a big wave and force him to the point of having to flee from the palace of Tiamat.

"Has the Duchy of Kogas been captured?" asked Alexander again, the Duchy of Kogath, located at the southernmost tip of the Empire, is the westernmost point of the land border between the Empire and the Kingdom of Leon, and is currently the closest place to the fugitive royal family of Leon.

"At present, the main force of our army is blocked in the port of Beas, so ......" Guderian looked embarrassed, compared to the Kogas Territory where even the Duke was captured, the main force is well preserved, and half of the Southern Fleet thinks that the Austrian aid of the Port of Beth is a much more difficult bone to gnaw, and this hard bone also happens to be blocked in the north of the Kogas Territory, Marshal Rudolph If he wants to enter the Corgas Territory and open up the passage to support the Kingdom of Leon, he must first capture the Port of Beas, which is a pass that cannot be bypassed.

Hearing Guderian's reply, Alexander secretly clenched his palms, he also understood that the port of Bies was difficult to deal with, it was not only the economic center of the south, but also a natural harbor, where the main shipyards of the Southern Fleet were located, so the military defense was completely built at the level of a fortress.

"Perhaps we can have the people of the Duchy of Kogas support the royal family of León nearby, whether it is to take refuge or replenish supplies. As long as the people of Kogas are willing to make up for their mistakes, then we can also give them some promises appropriately, after all, now that Duke Edward is still in our hands, Duke Koga's retainers must be eager to save Edward now, so that we can use this condition to make them surrender immediately, and then whether it is to support the royal family of Leon, or to the north and Marshal Rudolph to flank Port Bis, it will be much smoother. ”

Everyone unanimously looked at Menken, the minister who spoke out, and Menken's colleagues looked at him in surprise. It is rare for the foreign minister to be so active in military matters, since the Silesian War ten years ago, there has been a subtle antagonism between the army and diplomats, and whether the merits of the war should ultimately belong to the diplomats or the military has always been a matter of concern for the army, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has relied on the prestige of the Marquis of Metternich for ten years, so that the whole does not treat the military very well, and any conflict of interest will be biased towards the use of diplomacy rather than the threat of force, once to show their indispensable role。

Of course, since Mencken replaced the Marquis de Metternich in office, he has noticeably shrunk his arrogance, and has tended to be cautious in his words and deeds about war, and it is rare to put forward his own ideas so blatantly as he does now.

Alexander didn't think much of it, but the way he looked at Menken wasn't good.

"Do you mean to let me compromise with the traitors of the empire and let them go, so that the south will have another chance to nourish the rebellious forces?" Alexander's voice was slow, and with each word he spat out, his face became more ugly, "This is the foreign secretary, the empire's example to the outside world, and the emperor's advice?"

The other ministers were silent, and of course they had thought of Mencken's proposal, but none of them said it, and for this reason: Alexander, who was too concerned with his authority and face, must have felt that it violated his majesty.

"Your Majesty, it is for the sake of the face of the empire that I will make this proposal. Menken said, completely different from the cautious and timid him in the past, "After all, the Kogas Territory is an internal matter of the Empire, even if we let them go for the time being, there will be a chance to deal with them in the future." The Leon royal family is different, if we don't rescue them in time, let the desert people completely kill all the members of the Leon royal family, and exterminate the legitimate monarch blood of the Badajoz Peninsula, their rule there will be much stronger - please don't forget, that peninsula was once ruled by pagans, and until now, more than 30% of the population of the Badajoz Peninsula still profess the paganism of the desert people. ”

Alexander's face couldn't help but twitch, although he was very reluctant to let go of any of the southern princes, but what Menken said was indeed a problem that could not be ignored, if the royal family of Leon was really completely extinct, and the Badajoz Peninsula was seized by the desert people, then it was not only a matter of losing face for the empire, and from then on the Cyrul Empire would face a southern neighbor who would make her unable to sleep all day, a neighbor who would eat people.

"What's more, if we don't appease the southern princes now, if we force them to be cornered, unite with the desert people, and give the infidels the opportunity to enter the southern part of the empire, then I am afraid that it will not only be a peninsula that will be lost from the empire's sphere of influence, but the territory of the empire may really be touched by the infidels, and the sacred territory that has never been violated by other countries since the revolution will really be defiled. ”

Alexander's breathing was a little uneasy, and Prime Minister Pitt was surprised by Mencken's sharp words, as if he were not in front of Minister Otto Leopold No. Menken, or the Marquis of Oliver No. Metternich.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the Maduk Chamber Hall.

"Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness the Princess is back. ”
