While Artis was busy tidying up the country, a little tremor was happening in the south. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the historical imperial capital, in the royal palace at its core at this time, countless people walked in a hurry.

"Hurry! Your Majesty is unconscious again!"

Countless maids and attendants shuttled through it, and a little shouting brewed here, turning the place into chaos.

However, in the true core of the palace, it was unusually quiet at this time.

Outside, Harlan looked at the chaos outside, sighed softly, and walked straight inside.

"Your Highness Harun!" One of the men bowed when they saw Harlan enter, looking respectful to him.

"How's my father?" he said calmly as he looked at the figure in front of him, with no sadness or joy in his eyes.

These people, all of whom were inclined to him in the royal court, or who were bribed by him, gathered together at this critical moment.

"Your Majesty's situation is not good. Below, an old man stood up with some hesitation after hearing Harlan's question.

After seeing that Harun's face had not changed, he was slightly sure in his heart, and then continued: "Since the last expedition to the Northern Regions, Your Majesty's health has been not good, and even coughing up blood during the march has appeared. And after returning to the imperial capital, he was often in a coma, and all kinds of methods were useless. ”

"Judging from the situation this time, I'm afraid Your Majesty won't last long. ”

"Alas. After hearing the news, Harlan did not get angry, but the corners of his mouth moved slightly, and he let out a sigh.

At this time, below, another knight stood up and said, "Your Highness!"

"Recently, because His Majesty is often in a coma, it seems that His Royal Highness the eldest prince and His Second Highness have begun to move. It seems to be preparing something. ”

"Do you need to send more people to watch over them?"

He asked.

Hearing this, Harlan sneered in his heart.

Since the end of the battle in the Northern Regions, it seems that his time is running out. Therefore, after returning to the imperial capital, the elderly king brought Harun with him, and even opened some government affairs and power to him.

This attitude is obvious. Not only did the surrounding nobles fall to Harun, but it also successfully aroused the vigilance of several of his other brothers. The eldest prince and the second prince were one of them, and they were also his two strongest competitors to the throne in the past.

But at this time, he just said indifferently: "No need!"

"At present, in the imperial capital, nearly half of the army has fallen to our side, and the remaining part also belongs directly to my father, and it cannot be dispatched unless my father orders it. ”

"In this case, as long as they are smart, they will stay good. Otherwise, you can only end up being suppressed casually. ”

He looked in a direction in the distance, and then said, "The most important thing now is the palace, and my father's side." ”

As he spoke, a voice suddenly sounded outside.

"Your Highness Harun, Your Majesty has woken up and is now inside to let you pass. ”

Hearing this, Harlan turned back and marched into the depths of the palace.

In the depths, in the depths of the originally luxurious and magnificent palace, it seemed that a little twilight was coming at this time. Inside, at this time, there was an old man sitting, dressed in luxurious clothes, and he seemed to be in good spirits.

"Harlan, you're here. Looking at Harun, who came in from outside at this time, the old man smiled slightly, and then spoke.

"Father. Seeing the king like this, Harun was a little stunned.

Although the old king seemed to be in good spirits at this time, almost better than when he had not been sick before, through a certain qi sense of the knight, Harun could clearly sense that an old and powerful life in front of him was gradually declining, draining its vitality at a clearly visible rate.

He couldn't help but blush in his eyes, and faintly understood in his heart that this time was probably the final farewell.

"Don't be sad, kid. Seeing him like this, the old king smiled slightly with kindness on his face, and seemed to be unconcerned.

"You know what? I dreamed of my ancestors last night. He said, I'm doing a good job. He looked outside, and his eyes began to blur.

"When I first succeeded to the throne, at that time, the royal court was strong, but it was torn apart, and our royal family was almost squeezed clean. ”

"When I succeeded to the throne, I had almost nothing at first, but I slowly pacified the country. After that, I fought in the central part and attacked the southern regions, and I don't know how many city-states were destroyed before I finally became what I am now. ”

He muttered to himself, telling his story sentence by sentence, but his hand was tightly gripping Harlan, unwilling to let go for a moment.

I don't know how long it took, but Harun only felt that the original king's body slowly became cold, and in the sense, all the vitality of the king in front of him was also lost.

He couldn't help but feel cold, stood up silently, his eyes closed, his heart was noisy, and his emotions were tumbling.

When the emotions in his heart gradually subsided, he suddenly opened his eyes, a little cold light flashed, and then walked out directly.

On that day, Harun succeeded to the throne surrounded by many ministers in the royal palace and became the new master of the old court.

A few days later, there was a sudden rebellion in the imperial capital, and in the rebellion, the eldest prince and the second prince who were originally in the imperial capital died. Suddenly, the entire royal court fell silent and fell into silence.

At the same time as the southern movement, at this time in the far north, messengers are also coming and going on the avenue, passing on the news one by one.

"The king of the royal court died of illness, and the third prince Harun succeeded to the throne?" On a training ground, Artis looked at the herald in front of him, a little surprised.

But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was a little natural.

After all, the king of the royal court is already old, even if he has a fighting spirit, but after so many years of fighting in the south and the north, especially the battle in the northern region in the past, it is even more fatal. It is not surprising that he died at this time.

He continued to look down, and only after seeing that a few days later, the eldest prince and the second prince, who had always had great prestige in the royal court, died in the rebellion, then he shook his head and said, "It's a pity, it's really fast." ”

"Originally, if his two brothers had not died, we might have tried to support them in order to divide the royal court. ”

"This Hardy is a decisive man!" he exclaimed.

In front of him, hearing him say this, Barton also smiled slightly bitterly: "Yes." ”

"Originally, in the royal court, the eldest prince and the second prince were born noble, with the support of a strong maternal family, and each had a group of their own supporters. ”

"But with such a death, not only will the position of the new king be secure, but even we will have no way to do it. ”

At this time, outside, the figure of Bill's sacrifice emerged and gradually walked in.

"Your Majesty, there is news from the church, it seems that there is news. ”

Hearing this, Artis turned to look at him, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes.

"A few months ago, a large number of demonic tribes and demonic beasts began to appear on the border, seemingly migrating from afar. ”

"After discovering this phenomenon, the Church actively sent people to the border to investigate, and even the Pope himself personally went into battle, and finally confirmed that in that direction, a new round of demonic disasters is breaking out!"

Hearing the news, several people present were shocked, and they looked at Bill's figure gradually walking in, and they were a little incredulous.

But in front of him, Bill's words continued.

"A few months ago, the line of vigilance was breached, several villages and towns were bloodied, and now the tide has swept to the north, and has been resisted by the sacrifices led by the Pope. ”

"But as time passed, the power of the Demon Tide seemed to continue to increase. ”

He said this with eagerness in his eyes.

"How's it going?" said Artis calmly, looking at Bill.

He looked very calm, even when he heard the news at this time, he was still calm and calm.

Suddenly, when the people around saw this, their hearts were slightly certain, and they gradually got out of the previous panic.

"At present, the demon tide has begun to spread, and it seems that there are sporadic demonic beasts that have begun to break through the defense line. But it is still largely blocked, and it is in a stalemate at the border. Bill responded.

In response, Artis nodded and said, "Carter, how are our soldiers preparing?"

In front of him, a big man with thick hair and a rough voice stepped forward and said, "After more than a year of training, it's ready to go." ”

"After the cultivation of vindictive spirit, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers in the army is generally much stronger, and the combat effectiveness is definitely not weak. ”

He looked at Artis, and then said: "However, because we have to leave part of our forces to defend the royal court in the south, we can't use all our troops, and the number of people who can be used is about 100,000. ”

"100,000?" said Artis to himself.

After the popularization of vindictive spirit in the army, the already generous treatment in the past deepened again, and countless people were eager to join the army almost every moment. In addition, after a year of harvest and recuperation, the Duchy of Adiss had enough savings and supplies at this time, so it was effortless to recruit soldiers. Compared to the previous time when he fought against the royal court, his strength has increased several times.

"100,000 people are enough. Finally, he looked at Bill and said, "Bill, you give the order to send some men to the border to assist in the defense first, and wait for future support." ”

"Carter, how long will it take for our men to be dispatched? He asked again.

"It will take about two months for the soldiers who have been drawn to come to the border. Carter responded.

"However, we can make the nearby legions move towards the border first, and then let the other legions slowly converge, so that the time will be faster. He looked at Artis and added.

Seeing him say this, Artis nodded slightly, and then looked at the people in front of him, and gave orders one by one.

With his order, the originally silent Duchy of Adisus began to move again, baring its fangs.
