Chapter Ninety-Four: The Storm Rises (3)
The beast rider hissed, it was the elite of the elite of the orc kingdom - the palace guard brigade, and the strange thing was that they did not act with the necromancer, but surrounded them after Liu Chengcheng led the necromantic retreat. www.biquge.info Of course, this may be done to cover up, or there may be some secret between the two, but no matter what, Ah Heng and Drew, who are deeply encircled, are unable to fly.
"Hey, big man, I'm the one who caused you trouble," Ah Heng sighed and said to Drew, "Without me, those necromancers wouldn't come, and if the necromancers didn't come, the orcs wouldn't have to come so ceremoniously to extinguish their mouths." Of course, even if there were no necromancy, the orcs would have broken me to pieces if they knew I was here. ”
Drew smacked his mouth, and said with a loud voice, "I've heard that you killed an orc druid, and it's a werewolf—"
"That's right, not only did I kill a werewolf, but I also kidnapped a druid, and I robbed their princess, and by the way, killed a promising young wolf general—"
Drew couldn't help but open his mouth wide when he heard this: "With such a blood feud, it's a miracle that the orcs can let you live until now!"
"So, if you tie me up and give it to the orcs now, they'll probably let you go. Ah Heng smiled at Drew and stretched out his hands.
Drew looked at Ah Heng's appearance, stunned for a moment, and then became extremely angry: "What do you mean by this?" The big man's chest rose and fell.
Ah Heng looked at Drew's angry and humiliated eyes, and hurriedly said, "Well, just kidding." ”
"The Berserker Protoss has never betrayed their friends, never—" Drew snorted and flicked his fist angrily at Ah Heng, "You are asking me to tarnish the honor of the family, this is an insult to me."
"However—I'm a member of the Frozen Clan, and I'm also a rebel as the Senate professes," Ah Heng sighed and said, "I'm afraid it's going to be a bit of trouble if you do this!"
Drew suddenly showed a bitter smile, "Senate, do you think that since the fall of the Knights Templar, how many people will care about them?"
Ah Heng was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly realized that this big man was not stupid at all!
The Orc Guards had closed the encirclement, and the flaming torches illuminated the place where the two were standing.
"Kid, we're meeting again. An old voice said unhurriedly, Ah Heng followed the voice and found that the other party was the Spirit Fox Master who had been a prisoner, and he was still holding a cute white fox in his arms.
"yes, meet again. Ah Heng replied with a smile, and the palm of his hand hidden in his sleeve gathered again into a storm of ice and snow, and the storm condensed rapidly as it swirled. Ah Heng's face turned slightly pale, this is the ice sealing technique he figured out by himself, which is suitable for group battles, but unfortunately the consumption is too great for each use.
"Don't struggle, kid, I hope you remember my advice. As long as you join the kingdom, His Majesty the Beast Emperor will definitely entrust you with important tasks. Your Majesty's greatest admiration is a young man like you, as long as you are loyal to Your Majesty, everything in the past is not to blame, of course, with Your Majesty's protection, no one on the mainland will dare to disadvantage you, not even if it is a necromancy!"
"Dear Spirit Fox Master, thank you very much for your kindness, but I still want to try!" Ah Heng smiled, the ice and snow storm in his palm had been condensed to the extreme.
"Give up, young man, you won't have any chances, and you won't have any reinforcements. Do you know that the lost town is in ruins, and even the soul of the moon is like a lost dog. And the human northern army only dared to retreat in the city, waiting for the arrival of the kingdom's army in fear. Now you have only one choice - to be loyal to Your Majesty. Otherwise, even if I can't bear it, I'll have to witness your death with my own eyes—"
Yueqing's soul was crushed?Ah Heng opened his mouth wide in shock, and the storm in his palm gradually dissipated.
Master Linghu looked at Ah Heng's reaction with a relieved gaze, and he smiled and continued, "Young man, you should learn to recognize the power of the kingdom. Just today, the southern tribes at the foot of Yin Mountain have declared their independence from the God-given republican rule, and of course, it is accurate to say that they will henceforth become the dominions of the kingdom. This is not the end, I believe that it will not be long before the northern frontier of mankind, which has lost its elite, will also become the southern frontier of the kingdom. And in the near future, the entire continent will be subjugated to the feet of His Majesty, since the whole world will belong to the kingdom, why are you struggling against the trend?"
The southern tribes became independent?Ah Heng and Drew were shocked beyond words. In the reflection of the crackling firelight, Ah Heng looked at the vigorous posture and proud eyes of the Guards Brigade, and only felt that this world was so absurd, as if the sky had changed overnight, but the result was so natural.
Ah Heng let out a long sigh, did he really want to surrender?
......
The ice field is changing, and the imperial capital of the Bright Dynasty is not calm.
On October 13, 798 in the Guangming calendar, this is a very ordinary day, but it has become extremely extraordinary because of one incident. On this day, everyone's eyes in the imperial capital were on the majestic palace that stretched for miles on the heights. Because, in this palace complex, there is a palace that is imposing, the first of all palaces, and it has the same proud name as the empire - "light".
For 800 years, the Hall of Light has been the central decision-making center of the imperial dynasty, and every ten days, a court meeting is held here, and countless decisions have been made at the court meeting that have affected the entire continent for decades and centuries. However, in the last ten years, the doors of the temple have been tightly sealed, and although the temple of light is still spotless, it has been forgotten. The Emperor of Light, the most powerful man in the empire, seemed to have long ago remembered this place, and for ten years, it had never been opened, and the magnificent hall had been waiting in the empty space for ten years.
Since the Battle of Yinshan, compared to the majestic Guangming Palace, the emperor prefers the deep palace that stretches for several miles, and in the deep palace, some topics related to this emperor can be heard almost every day, and these topics have made the imperial capital and even the world talk about it for ten years. In the past ten years, there are only a handful of people who can see this emperor, because even if he summons ministers, the Bright Emperor will only be in the imperial study, and there will always be only so many ministers, such as the governors of the four major military regions known as the pillars of the empire, such as the Bright Emperor's favorite minister of state, the chief bachelor Luo Jin, and the inspector Dai Chen, who is known as the "Bright Emperor's sword". As for the other courtiers, they "have not been consecrated for a long time."
Today, ten years after the wind and rain, the Temple of Light is finally about to open again. Because the Bright Emperor finally came out of the deep palace, he announced that in the Bright Palace, the first great court meeting of the Bright Dynasty in ten years would be held.
In the early morning of October 13, 798 in the imperial calendar, the bell of the Great Court Meeting rang again, and the distant bell made countless people cry. The melodious sound of the bell seemed to tell the countless glories of the Bright Dynasty, and everyone knew that the man on the throne had been absent for too long. Today, he has finally returned, and he has walked out of the deep palace, what kind of powerful voice will he make?
The door of the Hall of Light has been opened, and the ministers of the Government Council headed by Luo Jin, the ministers of the Inspectorate led by Dai Chen, the imperial generals led by Guo Zizhong, and the princes who stayed in the imperial capital, even including the orc kingdom, the god-given republic, and the envoys of the southern vassal countries all gathered here. Even with the grandeur of the Temple of Light, the sudden influx of so many high-ranking officials and dignitaries seemed a little crowded.
Soon everyone found out that the scale of this great court meeting seemed to exceed any time in their memory, and many people could not help but begin to reverie: What did the emperor, who had disappeared from people's sight for a long time, say and do in this great court meeting? The slight noise gradually subsided, and the eyes of the long-standing high-ranking officials and famous generals gradually converged to the still empty dragon chairs, and for some reason, they actually showed a trace of nervousness. They were expecting the appearance of that man, but they were afraid of the appearance of that man.
Guo Zizhong looked at the people in the hall, and sighed slightly in his heart: It seems that no matter how long that man disappears, as long as he still exists, then he will always be the unique existence of the empire and need to look up, because he is always the only master of the empire!
Guo Zizhong set his eyes on a gentle middle-aged man not far away, and the other party seemed to feel Guo Zizhong's gaze, turned his head, and showed a gentle smile. However, in that warm smile like a spring breeze, Guo Zizhong felt a slight chill, which was like the solid ice in the stream that had not yet melted, and occasionally saw a sharp edge.
