Three days after the magic disappeared, the people of the capital still lived in fear of believing that they had been abandoned by the gods, and as the capital of the Magic Empire, the people who lived in it worshipped magic far more than anywhere else, and even believed that magic was the pillar that supported the world. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

So when the magic is lost, you can imagine what kind of feelings these people will have, although the riots caused by the magic just disappeared have been extinguished, but the theory of annihilation is endless, and all kinds of suicides are staged all the time.

Coupled with the fact that almost all of the Empire's top brass were killed in Count Mel's rebellion, the management system of the central capital was also in chaos, and now the responsibility for managing the seemingly peaceful but chaotic situation of the central capital fell to the head of the imperial merchant who had just revealed his talent, Veis Stirling.

To add insult to injury, an unexpected piece of bad news arrives at Vess's desk.

Realizing that this was an extraordinary situation, Vis immediately rushed to the palace.

Emperor Klopt listened to Vess's report with a pale face, repeated short, rapid breaths, and finally held back a sentence in a trembling voice.

"Nearly 50,000 unidentified troops occupied Francis, and a massacre of refugees fleeing to the central capital?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, there is no doubt that their next target will be the central capital. ”

Feeling that something had collapsed in his heart, the emperor finally asked out loud about a fact that he never wanted to ask, "Yangdu, how many troops are there that can fight?"

Weiss hesitated, but finally decided to tell the emperor the truth, "Counting the thousand demon swordsmen I brought, the total is only five thousand, and these five thousand people also include all the guards in the central capital. ”

Although he knew very well in his heart that after the magic disappeared, the main army of the empire basically collapsed directly, but the emperor still didn't want to believe the truth like a child, "The Yangdu army itself has a full 100,000, why is there only 5,000 left now?"

This question made Weiss stunned, why did he still ask this now? However, he still replied to the emperor, "Your Majesty, there are more than 90,000 people in the 100,000 miles you said are magicians, and now that the magic has disappeared, those 100,000 people have become the existence of dry food and have no effect, so they were disbanded by Your Majesty??????"

"Okay, don't say it, I know what you mean. The Emperor interrupted Vess, "I wonder what we are going to do now?"

The corners of Weis's mouth rose slightly, obviously he already had a way to save Yangdu. "It's not that there is no way, it depends on whether you dare to do it, Your Majesty. ”

"What are you talking about? Do you have a plan to save the central capital from the rebels?"

"Does Your Majesty really think that the combat power of the central capital is only five thousand?"

A big question mark appeared above Klopt's head, didn't he just say that the central capital only had 5,000 combat power, but now why did he ask this again? Is it to mobilize the common people? What is the point of selling in his gourd?

"What do you mean by that, are you going to recruit soldiers from among the people?"

"No, Your Majesty, don't forget that the central prison, the largest prison in the country, is the central prison, and that prison is completely out of magic control, which has to admire the person who designed the prison in the first place, if he didn't design it that way, I'm afraid the chaos in the central capital will be even worse. ”

"Are you trying to make an army of criminals? Are you crazy? Criminals will listen to you?" Klopt could only laugh, undoubtedly creating more trouble for the Empire.

"At this stage, only by integrating criminals into an army can we win those rebels. ”

"Can you send other Imperial troops here?"

"Your Majesty the Emperor, you also know that this is unrealistic, even if it is the closest force to here, it will take at least fifteen days to be deployed, but that force is only 10,000 people, and it will not be able to save the central capital. ”

"I see, do you have the confidence not to let those criminals endanger the safety of Yangdu?"

"I don't dare to say 100%, but I am more than 70% sure. ”

"Isn't it 100%?" Klopt weighed it in his heart, he trusted the ability of the man in front of him, but he didn't trust his loyalty, but if he wanted to replace himself, he shouldn't help himself gain so much prestige, it seemed that he should still be trusted here, the emperor finally made up his mind, "Okay, I'll leave it to you, the crisis in the central capital will be solved by you, and I will hand over all the power in the central capital to you, and the deadline is until the rebels are repelled." ”

"Obey the order, then the subordinate will retire. Vis turned and left the palace.

Looking at Weiss's back, the emperor's heart is not a taste as if he has knocked over the five-flavor bottle, he doesn't want to reuse Weiss, but the current situation has to reuse him, I really hope that there will be a guy who can compete with Weiss, but it should be difficult to find someone with a skill like him.

"Lord Sterling, you're here. The warden looked at Vess with a flattering expression, which made Vess a little disgusted, and the warden accepted a lot of benefits from Vess. Before the magic disappeared, Weiss used a lot of money to buy the prison warden, his purpose was to recruit a talent he fancied - Bodiak, in order to have a good relationship with Bodiak, Weiss even helped him win the power struggle in the prison, making him the boss of the criminals, Bodiak said that as long as he was released from prison, he would become Weiss's subordinate, which was a gesture of absolute loyalty to Weiss.

However, just because he has absolute loyalty to Vis doesn't mean that the rest of the criminals are too. Bodiak is the number one in prison, but the other criminals in the prison do not completely obey him, but he has the highest prestige and the most junior brother. So after hearing Vess's request, Bodiak hurriedly refused.

"I'm sorry, Lord Ves, but it's not something I'm capable of doing, and it's too hard for me to mobilize all the criminals. ”

"What if I say that these criminals who go to war can be given freedom?"

"It sounds tempting, but is that really good, Lord Ves, are you sure you won't let any of them do the wrong?"

"Do you think you're working under me, and you're going to do what you used to do?"

"Hahahaha, worthy of Lord Weiss, indeed, after I have learned your courage, I will not do that robbery again. Bodiak smiled, "But, Lord Ves, how are you going to show those criminals your courage?"

"You just need to call them all to the atrium of the prison, and I'll have my own way then. You should be able to do that. ”

"That's fine, but I'm afraid the atrium is too small to accommodate a total of 30,000 prisoners. ”

"What? 30,000? I thought it was only 10,000 at most. Although Weiss was surprised on the surface, he was ecstatic inside, because 30,000 had far exceeded his expectations.

"The Empire's harsh government has created more criminals than you can imagine, and these criminals have complaints about the Empire, and it's hard to say whether they will die or not. ”

"It's not a big deal, but where in the prison can there be 30,000 people?"

"Accomodation area. ”

"Accommodation?" Vess was a little confused, but he believed Bodiak wasn't joking. "Then I'll leave it to you, go and gather all the criminals to the lodging area now, and I'll be over in a moment. ”

"Yes. ”
