Chapter 103: The Restoration of Lot
The Kingdom of Nas, in terms of status, is only one of the many kingdoms of the Guise Empire, and is strictly a vassal state of the Guise Empire. But more than 60 years ago www.biquge.info Ray Nas was born, and in just 10 years, he stood at the peak of the mainland, and since that year, the influence of the Nas Kingdom in Guise has increased, and it has gradually developed into the "Fourth Empire" of the mainland, vaguely on a par with the other three major empires.
Since the last time Thunder made the coup d'état of the Cass Empire successful, Ray's prestige in the Human Empire has been unparalleled for a while. Even for the sake of Lei's words, the two empires also sent troops to the border to help the new emperor of the Kas Empire, Khante, stabilize his power.
Just when the three empires were worried that Ray was suddenly so strong and whether he was going to make a big move, Lei returned to the kingdom of Nas and never took half a step out of the Nas capital.
Although the Kas Empire said that the transition of power was successful, and the two empires of Guise and Mars could not invade Kas openly under the influence of Lei, it did not mean that they could not secretly send people to intervene.
Shortly after the coup d'état, although the alternation of power between the top echelons was completed, the change of power was often the most chaotic time at the grassroots level of the government and the middle and lower levels of the army, and it was difficult to say how much power Guise and Mars had infiltrated secretly.
Hunter is in charge of the royal family as the new emperor, but the backbone of the royal family has been lost, and if it does not represent the core of the empire, it can only be regarded as a second-rate force at best. The Gram family, which supports the new royal family, is the second among the three major families of the Cass Empire, and has always kept a low profile. As a member of the empire, although he also had to let some of the mage forces in the family join the magic group, he suffered heavy losses. But it still retains part of the mage power, and its strength is above the royal family.
In such a situation, it is easy to have a situation where the merit is high and the master is overpowered. Let the Gram family be the only one. But the existence of the Gülen family made the Graham family afraid to make a move against the royal family. In this coup d'état, the backbone of the Gülen family was unharmed, although there was no mage power to support it, but in the case of the mage power of the other two families, the weakness of the Gülen family in this area no longer existed, and it was stronger than the royal family and the Graham family. In order to survive, the Graham family must hold on to the royal family. Fight against the Gülen clan with the power of both clans and the power of the empire.
The Glenn clan has great prestige among the Imperial army, not to say that they hold a few major positions and hold the core organs of the Empire. It will be able to remove the influence of the Gülen clan from the hearts of the national army.
In order to prevent the Gülen clan from being restored, Hunter and the Graham clan hugged each other tightly, and in order to weaken the Gülen clan, the first thing was to cut off the Gülen clan's economic resources.
The Gülen's most important source was the underground rings and related gambling businesses. Harness the power of the Empire. The Graham family gradually restricted the Gülen family's related business, gradually eating away at the Gülen family's economic resources.
Second, while encroaching on the business of the Gülen family, it also undermines the Gülen family's status in the eyes of the Imperial. Jado Gülen of the Gülen clan secretly sought to join Elle Mir in order to become a mage, but did not leave with her when Elle left Cass. Although Ellie took in Jado, she did not treat him as a confidant and did not arrange for him to enter the First Magic Order. Instead, as the one arranged by Ellie. Feared by Harry, the battle that surrounded Ray did not take him with him. Let him, the magician, miraculously survive.
In order to fight against the Glenn family, the Gram family directly promoted Jado to the head of the third group of the magic group, and vigorously publicized how he, as a Glenn family, "abandoned the darkness and turned to the light", and how he found his own light in the confusion of life.
Taaffe had been mentally prepared for the suppression of the Gram Clan, and when the Gram Clan restricted the underground ring and casino business of the Gram Clan, and did not resist, and directly closed the relevant business, for Taffe, his answer had been found, and it no longer mattered whether the ring existed or not. But for Jado to become the head of the three regiments of the magic group, Taaff was extremely angry, and directly approached the Gram family, he absolutely did not allow Jado's existence, he didn't care about the impact in the empire, he was concerned that this matter would shake the hearts of some people in the family.
"Jado, tell him to come and see me," Inside the academy office building, Taaffe stepped directly on the door with Lei Ba. "I am the patriarch of the Gülen clan, he is a member of the Gülen clan, if I want to see him, I will see him, you dare to stop me!"
This office building is the office of the important members of the magic group, due to the death and injury of the senior magicians of the magic group, the current head of the academy is the patriarch of the Gram family, who quit the magic group early due to his age and did not die in the coup. And now the key members of the magic group are basically from the Gram family, and when they saw Taaff smashing the field, they directly stopped Taaffe in the outer hall, and excused themselves by saying that Jado was not there.
"The head of the third regiment is really not there...... Ahh
"You deans don't dare to be arrogant in front of me, you dare to stop me. "Taaffe is furious now, and he doesn't care who the other party is.
The current dean's name is Tony Gram, although he is the patriarch of the Grim family, but with his magical ability as a great magician, he is already too old to arouse the respect of Taaffe as the first warrior of the Cass Empire. The magic group exists in name only, and if Taaffe leads the Glenn clan to fight to the death, it is estimated that Hunter will have to move the entire city guard to deal with it.
"Why is General Taaff so irritable?" just as Taaff was about to rush into the inner chamber when a group of people walked in from outside. Two of them were Hunter Cass and Fortney Gram, the patriarch of the Grim family, followed by several high-ranking members of the magic group and a team of captains of the guards, and it was Hunter who spoke.
"Hmph, I want Jado to come and see me!" Taaff had already let his anger overwhelm his senses, and he didn't give Hunter face at all.
"General Taaffe, if you dare to be so rude to Your Majesty, you will not see Your Majesty. Forney stepped forward and asked Taffe.
"Hahaha! My Glenn clan has been chasing the path of warriors for thousands of years, and if you dare to destroy the foundation of my clan's cultivation, whoever comes will not have the face to give. "Taffe was really angry this time.
"Presumptuous!" said that Hunter was the emperor, and he couldn't help but be furious.
"Ahh
"I'll just say one last time. Tell Jado to come out to me, and my Glenn clan can die in battle, and they must not be insulted. Tell him to get out of here!" Tower snapped, scaring Hunter and Forney.
In the case of controlling most of the military power of the empire, Hunter and Forney have always thought that as long as they suppress Taaffe by political means and fight against Taaffe with the only remaining magical power, although they cannot eradicate the power of the Gülen family, as long as they can make Taaff dare not resist in the interests of the family, they can restore the magical power of the empire as long as they have 10 years with the entire magic academy. At that time, he was not afraid of the power of the Gülen clan.
Unfortunately, they underestimated the Glenn's dedication to the warrior path. Even Alexandre at the beginning despised the power of the Gülen clan, not to mention the former "idlers" who had never understood the Gülen clan at all.
"Taffe. We have surrounded this place, and if you dare to commit a crime, believe it or not, we will put you to death. "Hunter, as the emperor, actually made people drink so much, and suddenly couldn't stand it. In the discourse. Outside the hall, there was a heavy "rumbling" sound of footsteps. Listen to the sound, there is a large group of people surrounding this place.
"Really?" Taaffe took a few steps forward, and without making a move at Hunter and Forney, who were surrounded by several magicians, he strode out of the office hall.
Outside the hall, there were tens of thousands of cavalry inside and out, and on the outside, thousands of magicians were waiting for them. It's a pity that the infantry cavalry has long been timid when they see the commanders of the three armies of the empire in the past. And the thousand magicians behind that were only a few old magicians sent from the Graham family who had long since retired. All the others are great magicians and magicians, and there are quite a few people. But against a level of Upper Taffeta, the striking power is far from enough.
"Today, I will not stop killing the traitor Jado," Taaff shouted to the army gathered outside, "Are you going to fight me to the death?" ”
"Boom!" As soon as the words fell, the thunder bully on the periphery fell from the sky and smashed the mage group on his back, compared to the previous magic group, these people are simply novices. In the absence of a superb magician, the current magic group relies on the strength of the team, but without a decent person to lead, the strength of the team cannot be exerted at all.
The infantry cavalry had long been timid when they saw Taffe, and they were able to stand in front of Taff only because there was a magic group behind them, and now Taffe's number one thug had smashed the magic team out of shape, and it couldn't play a role at all, and suddenly lost its backbone, and Qi Qi set his eyes on Hunter who came out with him.
"Taaffe, don't go too far. Hunter held back his anger to negotiate with Taaffe, because he knew that he and Forney had miscalculated Taaffe's bottom line.
"Hmph, you're still the emperor?" Hunter had already given Taaffe a step to negotiate, but it seemed that Taaffe had no intention of negotiating with Hunter. "Is such a weak empire what you need?"
Taffe suddenly shouted at the group outside, causing everyone to look at each other, not knowing what to do. In terms of strength, don't look at the number of them, there is no way to deal with Taaffe and Lei Ba in such a small place where they can't give full play to the strength of the team.
"That's our majesty!" suddenly Taaffe snapped, and a group of people appeared in the distance, one of them was actually Lot, who was under house arrest for Hunter, and Lott dragged a 10-year-old child and led a dozen people to this side.
"Do you think you can regain power by letting Lott out?" Forney saw that Lotte was not panicking, the strength of the imperial army was basically under the control of his own people, although the magic power was insufficient, but the Gülen clan was even worse, there was no magic power at all, the only thing he was afraid of was that Taaffe launched a ruthless shot and scattered, you must know that he and Hunter were both under the blow of Taffe, so close distance, he and Hunter, the two great magicians, had no power to fight back.
There was a roar in the air, and a flying dragon carried a person here, and the officers and soldiers surrounding the office hall involuntarily gave up their positions.
"Angelina!" Hunter and Forney exclaimed, they knew that they had been fooled, and that Taaffe had not come recklessly, but had come prepared to help Lott recover. Angelina may not be as strong as Taffe, and it is difficult to say whether she can even beat Lei Ba, but she has been in the imperial capital for many years and has been following Elle, in addition to helping Elle manage the first magic regiment, she is also in charge of the imperial capital protector and the city guard. Although Hunter and Forney in order to strengthen their power, they constantly make small moves to change generals and install their own henchmen. But these small actions are all aimed at Taaffe, who would have thought that Angelina would come back, there are many generals in the army who are Angelina's former subordinates, and it is easy for Angelina to control the three city guards that have been placed near the imperial capital.
If the three guards were controlled, the imperial capital would be under the control of Lot. With Hunter, Forney, and their henchmen unable to leave the imperial capital, Taaffe, with his prestige in the army, had the ability and time to regain control of the nation's army.
"Hunter. I never thought that Ray's backhand would be to subvert our empire. Lott walked over in the place where the infantry cavalry had given way, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have given him a chance to concentrate the power of the empire and let him destroy it in an instant, and I will have to pay back this debt sooner or later." Do you go down with them yourselves, or let them take you down? ”
Lott gestured to a few of the people who came out of behind him, and motioned for Hunter and Forney to surrender. Hunter and the others were hesitant to admit defeat or fight to the death, but when they saw a few people coming out, they couldn't help but give up their only remaining resistance. It was none other than Lott who was following him. It was a dozen or so archmages who left with Ellie, and in terms of the current magical power of the Cass Empire, they were now all that could represent the magical power of Cass. Almost half of the magic regiments they were now barely organized were their students. Ellie has always been in charge of the Academy of Magic, and these dozen or so archmages have always been her henchmen, and their prestige is much higher than that of the second and third of the original three magic groups.
No surprises. Hunter and Forney were caught. The people who followed Hunter in the royal family were all cleared, the Gram family was idle again, and the three guards of the imperial capital had long been controlled by the premeditated Taaffe and Angelina and others, with six hundred thousand men and horses in the three guards, Hunter had no power to resist at all. Once the imperial capital was controlled, Taaffe went out to seize military power, with Taaffe's prestige, except for the emperor himself. No general can stand up to Taaffe. The Academy of Magic is also back in the hands of a dozen returning archmages, so to speak. The Hunter dynasty has fallen, and it can be regarded as the shortest dynasty.
Hunter and Forney had limited influence and were not to be feared, while Lott was afraid of the two empires of Guise and Mars. Taking advantage of the chaos in Cass, the two empires have already secretly infiltrated a lot of spies, and once the war resumes, Cass has no chance of winning. However, the only thing that reassures Lott is that with the return of a dozen magicians, he will be able to use magic cannons, and as long as Keith and Mars can't die with one heart to destroy Cass, they won't dare to act rashly.
"Something?" After being busy for a long time, with absolute strength and prestige advantages, the entire imperial capital was already under the control of Taaffe and Angelina, just when Taaffe wanted to go back to the family and arrange to leave the imperial capital again, first seize the military power of the border army, and prevent Jisi and Mars from suddenly attacking, Angelina chased after him on a flying dragon.
"I'm looking for Thunderba. Angelina didn't look at Taffe, but at Thunder next to Taffe.
"Looking for me?" Lei Ba looked at Angelina strangely, he had never said a word to her, how could he suddenly find him. Even Taaffe looked at Angelina strangely, and the woman who had been following Elle like a fart dog couldn't understand what she wanted to do.
"Your Excellency knows everything that is happening in the Empire, but you are disheartened and do not intend to come back, just let them come back on their own. Angelina was referring to the dozen or so magicians who had left with Ellie. "My lord didn't call me back, with General Taaffe's prestige in the army, plus these dozen or so great magicians, the imperial capital can be completely recaptured. It's me, I took the initiative to ask to come back, I just want to find you to end my demons. ”
"Heart Demon!?" Lei Ba suddenly became nervous, as if he wanted to think of something, but he was full of confusion. However, at this time, Taaffe had already done his best, and he misunderstood the meaning of Angelina's closure.
"I'm the 'Blade' of the year!" Angelina's next sentence made Taaffe a little confused, but it sounded like a bomb exploding in his heart to Thunderba.
"Really!" Lei Ba's breathing suddenly became urgent, and after seeing Angelina nodding in confirmation, he jumped up and attacked Angelina directly, letting out a roar like a beast from his mouth.
"Stop!" Angelina didn't come this time to fight Lei Ba, but to face her own demons, and her stage was not here. She stood there silently, not raising her hand to resist, and watched Lei Ba's arm that had been surrounded by electric arcs. Electrified Attribute Warrior, Lei Ba has always hidden his attributes, but now he has no reservations under his rage.
"Why not resist. Rayba stopped when he touched Angelina by half an inch, and didn't poke it.
"I'm here just to ask you, 'Soldier Cone', what did you see at the beginning?" Angelina stared intently into Lei Ba's eyes, the arm that stayed inches away from her chest didn't seem to exist.
"What do I see? Do you dare to ask me what I see? I only saw you kill the members of my group!" Lei Ba was very excited, and his hand that stopped not attacking moved forward half an inch, and it had already touched Angelina's shirt, but Angelina still turned a blind eye.
"I did it when you killed my crew. Angelina still kept her composure, looking into Lei Ba's eyes without blinking, as if to judge the truth of what Lei Ba said.
"Nonsense, you killed my team members first. Lei Ba withdrew his arm and shouted angrily.
"Well, I've told you all this, and I don't want to argue about it, and I state that it won't do me any good if I tell a lie. Angelina pressed her hands to calm Lei Ba's mind, "I just stood here and didn't plan to live, as long as you can do it, my life will be given to you." I'm serious about telling you that everything I'm talking about is what I really see. I'm the only one who killed your team that pounced on me when you killed all my teammates, and I'm sure you're in the same situation as me, right?"
"......" Lei Ba looked at Angelina, calmed down after Taaff reached over and put a hand on his shoulder, and finally nodded, "I'm the same, I saw you kill all my team members, so I killed your team members who pounced on me." ”
"I just want to know now," Angelina suddenly became a little agitated, "what did you see in there before you quit to see me kill your crew?"
"I ...... I ......" Lei Ba seemed to remember something, but the horror in his eyes became stronger and stronger, and he couldn't help but hug his head with both hands, and was about to squat down when he bent over, and his throat made a strange cry of "oh oh oh".
"Calm down, my friend. Taff stepped forward and pressed the fingers of both hands against Leiba's temples, and for a moment Leiba fell silent.
"You can't remember?" Angelina looked at Lei Ba in disappointment, "I saw you take half a step in. ”
"Obviously, I saw you step in first...... "Lei Ba said halfway through, suddenly stopped, and looked at Angelina in disbelief.
"Sure enough, it's still the same, it seems that something is controlling us, and then let's kill each other. Angelina remembered some of Ellie's words.
"At that time, a huge light flashed, I obviously saw you give the giant sword straight through the chest, and after waking up, I didn't see any trace of you, why didn't you die?" Lei Ba always thought that he was the only one who survived at that time.
"Me too, if it weren't for ......"
"Ellie already knew about my existence?" Lei Ba looked at Angelina in disbelief, he had been surprised to hear Ellie talk about it since he was at the docks, thinking that she had known about it through some channel, and it turned out that she had known about it for a long time.
"It wasn't the adults who organized the operation, and I don't know who it was. Angelina spoke calmly, not like panic. And more than a decade ago, with Ellie's ability, she really couldn't organize such an operation. "Are you going to kill me? I'm going to leave if you don't kill me, I just want to know something I've always wanted to know before I let go of all this, and it seems that you can't answer me. ”
Lei Ba didn't make a move in the end, and watched Angelina leave. During this time, Taffe's hand has been on Leiba's shoulders to prevent Leiba from losing control. This friendship of Taaffe calmed Thunderba a lot, and he began to believe a little that it was likely that Angelina was just a victim like him. (To be continued.) )
