Chapter 157: The Struggle for Power (2)

Kemp looked at Ryan's actions, but he didn't think so, if it weren't for Ryan's special identity, according to Kemp's usual habits, who would be impatient to talk endlessly with this teenager? Now seeing that O'Ryan seemed to want to lose his temper, Kemp said nonchalantly: "Aha, you must be joking, aren't you?"

Ryan didn't bother and threw the fireball in his hand directly at Kemp." With a loud bang, the fireball exploded around Kemp, and the wild flames raged around Kemp to the fullest, making the latter tremble. At this time, Kemp could fully feel the amazing heat coming from his side, he finally understood that Ryan was not just talking, now he definitely did not doubt that this heat could turn him into a pile of coke, although those flames had not yet surged to his body, but if he provoked this young man named Ryan again, then maybe the next moment these flames would really pounce on him.

When the flames dissipated, Camp stood there with an earthy face, his teeth kept colliding up and down, and Ryan waved his hand, pointed to Hubble who was sitting there playing with toys, and then pointed to the door of the room, Camp understood what Ryan meant in an instant, and before Ryan retracted the hand he pointed, Camp disappeared with Hubble "whoosh", the speed was definitely faster than the sword saint Andreas, and Ryan sincerely admired it.

"Fani, you said his speed is not slower than that orc swordmaster, right?" Ryan said to the screen behind him without a clue, "It's a pity that he didn't go to the royal viewing platform to defend the battle. ”

Faras walked out from behind the screen, she was also apprehensive about Camp's long-winded Rory just now, that guy was so annoying, and there were always all kinds of traps hidden in and out of words, such as casually saying just now that Ryan would give him instructions on Hubble magic, if Ryan really agreed out of politeness, then that camp would definitely make a big deal to prove that Ryan had joined Kamp's camp.

When Faras told Ryan about this, Ryan slapped his thigh hard, and said with some regret: "If I knew this, I shouldn't have left my hand, and sent him directly to see the Grim Reaper with a fireball, and it saved him from always intrigue." ”

Faras shook her head with a smile and stopped Ryan by saying, "That's not going to work. Actually, I hate these things too, but if you do break with one faction, the other factions will inevitably claim that you have secretly joined them, and attacking this camp is an act of proof that you have chosen to do so. At that point, you'll still be stuck in it, and no matter how you explain it, there's no point in it. ”

Ryan scratched his head and said helplessly, "I'd rather face an adult red dragon than ......"

Seeing the depression on her boyfriend's face, Faras excused himself and said, "Ryan, I'll tell you a joke." It is said that His Majesty Fernando I waved his troops to pacify the entire continent with an army of 100,000 men. And by the time of his descendant Fernando XII, he won't need so many people to pacify the entire continent, do you know why?"

"Ah, don't give the answer, let me think about it" Ryan was immediately intrigued by Faraz's words, and he used his brain to think carefully about the answer: "Is it because General Orlando is superior?"

"Of course not. ”

"Is it because of Victor's forbidden spell?"

"Alas, my silly Ryan, this is a joke, don't think too much of a formal answer. ”

"Oh. Listening to Faraz's prompt, Ryan was even more puzzled, he thought for a long time, but he couldn't think of why, in desperation, Ryan had to surrender and said: "I admit defeat, Fani, tell me the answer." ”

Faras pursed her lips and smiled, "This is too simple, just send a few hundred officials and nobles." A talking, chattering official is enough to be worthy of an adult red dragon, and hundreds of officials are hundreds of adult red dragons, and who can stop them? And the remaining nobles are more greedy than the other, and even the two-headed ogre is no match for them. These nobles were tasked with eating the orcs' rations. Think about it, with no food and hundreds of adult red dragons attacking, can the orcs still hold on?"

Ryan was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that this was what Faraz meant, it seems that since Fernando XII, these officials and nobles have slowly become corrupt and degenerate, so there is such a joke. However, Faras actually said such a joke in front of herself, and it seems that in her heart, she didn't take this country to heart.

Fernando City, 79-year-old Henikos in the barracks – Fernando breathlessly said: "Orlando...... General Orlando ...... This one...... You...... Be sure to ...... Want...... Want...... Ahem......"

Orlando walked up behind Henikos and gently thumped the old royal bloodline, who nodded in satisfaction, and was about to say something, but there was a series of coughs.

After a long while, the Henikos calmed down, and he continued: "With regard to the question of the throne, it is a very important question concerning the survival of the country, and we must treat it with caution......

Orlando stood there very patiently and listened straight, anyway, for this holy knight, when he trained on weekdays, he often stood for hours at a time, but he was used to it. The Henikos coughed a few words, and after two hours, finally uttered his tirade.

Orlando still stood there calmly, until Henikos desperately signaled, Orlando spoke: "What you just said is very good, I also think that the inheritance of the empire must have a certain law. But as early as the beginning of the Empire, our great Fernando I made a rule, that is, soldiers are not allowed to participate in politics!

Henikos choked on Orlando's words, and he didn't know what to continue, so he coughed incessantly. And an old man in his fifties who came with Henikos interjected and asked, "We all know this, but what we don't know now is General Orlando, what is your attitude?"

General Orlando replied without humility or arrogance: "As the Great Majesty said, the army is a sharp blade in the hand of the king, and it can cut off the crown and the thorn in the scepter for the king, like a sharp weapon, and as long as the weapon is held in his own hand, the sharper it is, the better it will be." Therefore, the duty of a soldier is to obey, and it is absolutely incapable of having a mind of its own. If a soldier gets involved in government affairs, it means that the sword has its own mind, and when that happens, the next person to die under the sword may be its master. ”

Henikos and his staff really couldn't find any way to get the words they wanted to hear from Orlando's mouth, and after Orlando recited the famous words of Fernando I about soldiers and swords, these people didn't dare to say more, ask more, even if they were all royal blood, but after all, they were powerless, if Orlando turned his face and didn't recognize people, and grabbed the handle that they wanted to let the military participate in politics, then even if Orlando killed them all, no one would jump out and say anything.

This is not just a matter of the law 200 years ago, Orlando is the supreme military governor of the imperial capital, and due to the invasion of the orcs, the human race has conscripted a large number of troops, even after the end of the war, these soldiers have not been disbanded, but concentrated on the reconstruction of the imperial capital, after all, soldiers with a certain degree of discipline are easier to use than ordinary civilians, and the effect is better.

Henikos shuddered at the thought of the millions of soldiers rushing towards him at Orlando's command, and he began to cough rhythmically again, and quickly left Orlando's barracks with the help and pull of his companions.

Such a scene was constantly playing out in all corners of the imperial capital, and in less than ten days after the end of the defense of the imperial capital, those nobles, officials, and owners of Fernando's bloodline who fled to Seabreeze City in the south returned to the imperial capital through the magic teleportation array.

When they returned, they immediately found that Catherine had been crowned queen, while Luke was in charge of the government, and Orlando was in charge of the military. In order to regain the so-called throne, these guys divided into several factions and kept campaigning to win over people for their own faction.

Queen Catherine continued to live in Luke's mansion after the war, because the entire palace had been given up for the wounded, and Queen Catherine's performance before and after the defense of the imperial capital had won the love of the inhabitants of the imperial capital.

Every morning, Catherine would take the female knight Christina from Luke's mansion and walk through the streets of the imperial capital, at first, Luke and Orlando were not very worried about Catherine's safety, but Catherine firmly refused the guards that Luke and Orlando arranged for her, and Catherine did not even bring the royal magicians with her.

Every time Catherine arrived, she would give a loud speech, encouraging everyone to work hard to rebuild their home, and what she received was the cheers and support of tens of thousands of residents of the imperial capital, although Catherine had only one Christina by her side, but there were more than 100,000 civilians and warriors around her.

Those who are trying to regain the throne have not thought of the easiest way to make Catherine disappear from this world, both mentally and physically. However, after the first assassination failed, no one dared to do this again, and those unlucky assassins, first by Catherine with a flaming whip, then by Christina as a target to practice martial arts, and finally by more than 500,000 residents of the imperial capital, their spirit and body disappeared from this world first.

In order to achieve their own goals, those guys who have the right to inherit the throne began to hit Luke and others with their ideas, which is why they did the same ridiculous actions before.
