Chapter 172: Who's Who's Who

Artillery is indeed the most effective weapon of mass destruction, and when a shell goes down, there is basically nothing that can continue to stand within a radius of more than ten meters. If it is a dense place, it is very easy to kill 180 people with a single shell, but there is a premise for this matter, that is, everyone is waiting in line to be bombed.

Who will stand in line to be bombed?

As soon as the scream pierced the eardrums, the person scattered and ran away, who would stand still?

Maybe some people will, always feel that they can't hit accurately.

Sometimes it's not so accurate, but sometimes it's extraordinarily accurate.

The imperial capital is in such a mess, and if you want to completely destroy the opponent's living force, you will rely on artillery to roll out one by one, and I am afraid that it will not be blown up from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.

As soon as the two sides stopped shelling, it meant that the most brutal acts of war were to be staged, and in addition to the queue to be shot, there was also the shooting on horseback. On the ruins that have been flattened, the final and most brutal duel is fought.

The soldiers stood in a disgraced formation, dragging wagons and pushing carts to replenish the ammunition. The young faces of the soldiers were struggling, but also free and relieved, and they silently sorted out their equipment and were about to rush to the front line.

There is no right or wrong, there is no fairness, only the fate of the bullet is decided.

Someone hummed a morale-boosting military song softly, and soon the sound was deafening, and the young soldiers sang loud songs and marched to the front line in a neat formation to face the fate and outcome they needed to face.

A figure collapsed in the smoke filled with the smell of gunpowder, and was immediately dragged away and thrown aside, and those behind filled the vacancy, raising their guns, shooting, reloading at the orders of the commander, and everything was carried out in an orderly manner, cruel, silent, angry, desperate!

In less than an hour, there were nearly 40,000 people, and only a few or 4,000 remained, and the corpses were piled up as high as a hill, gradually becoming rancid in this warm spring day. One to two hours after a person's death, the total number of bacteria in the body begins to expand endlessly, and they begin to rot and decay from the inside out. The flies in early spring seem to be living a well-off life, licking the wound on this person's chest, and crawling on that person's bloody head.

In fact, war should not end like this, there is no strategy, there is no mobility, there are no elements that all war should have, and some are just insensitive execution.

But, it's a must.

A coup d'Γ©tat is not a rebellion, what a coup needs is speed, a race against time.

Whether it is the eldest prince or the eldest princess, they must let everything settle before the nobles of the entire empire wake up. Let them have no way to make a fuss, and they cannot shake the rule and security of the empire. Even if they are opposed, unwilling, and do not recognize, they must obey the newly enthroned emperor, put all discontent in their stomachs, and wait for the next opportunity that is unlikely to come.

Maybe in a few hundred years, maybe longer, but maybe not long.

By the time this twisted war progressed to this point, there wasn't much suspense left.

The eldest prince rushed directly into the camp outside the city with a thousand cavalry, and stood sideways in front of the eldest princess.

The eldest princess still had more than a thousand soldiers on hand, but she couldn't stop the nearly two thousand intact cavalry in the hands of the eldest prince.

The reason why she lost was not because of improper command, but because of the disadvantage of being the attacker responsible for the attack. If the battlefield is moved to the wilderness, an encounter is held, and the generals are allowed to play freely, it is difficult to say who will win and lose in the end, and maybe she will win. But there was no if, she stood, with a long sword at her waist, and looked directly at her brother.

"You won. ", she said in her opening remarks.

The eldest prince drank everyone away, and there were only two sisters and brothers in the entire military camp.

The eldest princess looked at him with a smile, looked at this younger brother, and said softly, "Do you remember the oath we made when we were children?"

The eldest prince nodded, this oath and memory have supported him to this day, to this moment.

It was the winter of one year, and the old emperor had just gotten rid of his status as a prince and became the ruler of this empire. He was full of pride and heroism, and made a promise to restore the authority of the royal family and build a glorious empire.

But what he is facing is an aristocratic group that has been hovering over the empire for nearly a hundred years.

In order to strengthen their strength, Heinse and Fabio decided to give the old emperor a dismount. Their approach was very simple, so that His Majesty the Emperor's orders could not leave the palace. At that time, the new emperor ascended the throne, and the old emperor, who had just died, did not leave much resources for the new emperor at all, and in the face of a powerful aristocratic group, he could not fulfill his ambitions at all. No matter what kind of policy decree he proposed, it was ruthlessly rejected by Heinse and Fabio.

Armament in order?

Labor and money, dismissed!

Repairing the palace?

Financially constrained, dismissed!

Expansion of the Royal Guard?

Desperate and reckless, dismissed!

Even the new emperor's desire to worship his ancestors was dismissed by Heinsis and Fabio on the absurd grounds that the new emperor's choice was not suitable for ancestor worship.

Soon, the new emperor understood that although he was the emperor of this ancient country, he was not the master of this country. The real masters, who live outside the palace, they have a common name, called Noble!

They control every aspect of the country, everything.

The army, finances, personnel, almost all of them are in their hands.

This is because the emperor is unwilling, he needs to have the power he controls, and the organ that was born under compromise has been unanimously opposed and suppressed by the nobles, making the emperor a big ugly man in the western continent.

That year, the seven-year-old eldest prince and the eight-year-old eldest princess made a vow in the garden in the palace.

If one day they become the rulers of this country, they will do everything in their power to rid these empires of moths and restore the world to a clean place.

Aristocrat?

Kill!

Church?

Kill!

Dragon Slayer Knight?

Kill!

All the forces and individuals that will interfere with the imperial power will be eliminated!

This is their oath.

For this vow, they have come to this day. Fate is like a naughty boy who loves to play tricks on people, and when they come to this day, they find that their worst enemies are each other.

The eldest prince has mastered a part of the power of the dragon slaying knights over the years, and several lords have secretly surrendered, perhaps their surrender is speculative.

The eldest princess also recruited many dragon slaying knights, and maintained extremely reliable contacts with some great lords, so much so that she was canonized as the Grand Duke of the Turman Empire.

At this time, the last mountain on their way to the throne of supreme power is each other!

Without getting rid of each other, no one can sit on the throne with peace of mind.

The eldest princess smiled and approached the great prince's war horse, she beckoned, "You come down!"

The eldest prince did not hesitate at all, turned over and dismounted, and walked honestly in front of the eldest princess, like a child who made a mistake, and his spirit disappeared. He had hated this sister before, why, you are the last obstacle to my ascension to the throne? But he suddenly understood that he was also the last obstacle to the eldest princess's ascension to the throne.

Do unto others as you would have them do to you.

At this time, the eldest prince had come to his senses.

The eldest princess rubbed the golden hair of the eldest prince as she did more than ten years ago, affectionate and gentle.

"Brother, after my sister is gone, don't be empty-eyed, be careful about everything. Do not be angry, do not be angry with others, but be kind to your people. Fabio couldn't stay, and killed him immediately after he returned, and all the nobles in the imperial capital were cleaned up, giving the poor a chance to advance, and referring to some of the governance measures and systems of the federation, they were not all bad, but also good. Don't trust any nobleman unconditionally, don't repeat the mistakes of the past, and let the new nobles unite again.

You are the master of this empire, and you have the power to decide whether they live or die. The Ministry of Rites should be cut, its powers should be reduced, procuratorial organs should be established, and more advice should be heard, and no anger should be made because there are people who oppose it. Good words are always deceitful, and only those words that embarrass you and make you angry are really good words. ”

The eldest princess spoke, while helping the eldest prince to sort out his clothes, she gently helped him smooth the upturned collar and help him pull the corners of his folded clothes, "You have grown taller again, you were only a little taller than me a year ago, and now you are almost a fist higher." ”

"Sister...... You can marry someone you like, and you will be the old emperor. The eldest prince's eyes were a little moist.

The eldest princess shook her head, "If I live for a day, some people will not die." Only when I die will you be able to fully control the power of this country. ”

She patted the eldest prince's cheek, "Okay, you are the emperor, you have to think about your own decency." ”

She smiled and took a few steps out of the way, turned around, and showed the military uniform on her body to the eldest prince, she smiled and said, "How is it? I didn't expect me to look particularly good in it, right?"

She drew her long sword, and the cavalry on the periphery stirred slightly, but the eldest prince waved his hand to calm them down.

"Sister, go back with me!"

The eldest princess smiled slightly, "Bury me better!"

A stream of blood spilled on the ground, and the eldest prince's tightly clenched fist turned slightly white, and his nails cut into the palm of his hand.

He wiped his eyes, turned around and walked out of the camp with his head held high, "The eldest princess is in the law, and she will be buried with imperial etiquette!"
