Chapter 366: Kingdom Coup
If it's not that day...... Things won't turn out the way they are. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info From that day on, Pimax, who knew the truth of this world, suddenly felt that the whole world on which he lived collapsed. In the past, I had hoped to keep going, only to find that it was all an ethereal phantom.
It's better to say that everything is wrong. The reason for starting this war is wrong from this point.
If you can...... I wish I had never heard of it. Just like a frog sitting at the bottom of the well, staring blankly at the sky, although the outside world is very big and you can't notice it, but this small world under the well is indeed your whole world, with the same frog partner as yourself, and there is also a place that can provide your own comfort, it can't be called a kind of happiness.
It's really like pushing the responsibility on oneself strongly, obviously not having the ability to bear this responsibility, but still having to bear it head-on. If you don't do it yourself...... Who can do that? All those who know the truth of this world have their own obligation.
I didn't do it myself, but I can imagine that in the history of all mankind, those extraordinary wise men must have thought of it to a greater or lesser extent. Because the common sense of this world is not disguised much, and it is completely exposed to people's field of vision, it is not surprising that if you can calm down and think about it, even if someone is aware of it.
What will they do? Pimez didn't know, but at least he had decided what he should do.
Perhaps every sentient person has such an idea, if he does not do it, then the truth that has been buried for a long time will also be buried forever. You can't do something without doing something...... However, time is running out.
"Up...... Pimes ...... ......"In the past twenty years, the traces of wind and frost on the body of this prime minister have been quite conspicuous, as if a deep wrinkle has been carved on his face with a knife blade, if it were not for the fact that there are still some traces of the past on his face, I am afraid that no one can associate him with the person twenty years ago, right?"
Twenty years ago, Pimes was in the prime of life, and although he was a little stern in terms of personality, he mercilessly pointed out the mistakes of others, and the whole person was full of high-spirited vitality. The vigor comes from the facts, and it is precisely because Pimax himself is full of hope for the future of the entire kingdom that this hopeful momentum spreads to himself.
However, twenty years later, Pimez became more and more cold, and the once hearty laughing expression never appeared on his face again, and he became more taciturn, and maintained a passable attitude towards many things.
Prime Minister Pimes and King Hammery are childhood sweethearts who grew up together, one is the crown prince's royal family, the other is the supreme duke, the identity is similar, and two boys of the same age are easy to play together. Later, like many cliché stories, they became like-minded partners, and this relationship has continued to this day.
Rapport is one of the reasons why Pimes, who has become eccentric, has been able to hold the position of prime minister, but it definitely won't be the only reason. As one of the few wise monarchs in history, Hamory would never decide the major affairs of a country for personal emotional reasons, and in this respect he was quite unkind, and all the official positions in the kingdom were held by people who were capable enough, even if they were the prime minister of the king.
The most important reason is naturally that Pimax himself still has the ability to be worthy of this position, although he doesn't care about small things, he is definitely not sloppy about big things. Like Hamory, from the bottom of his heart, he thinks about the people of the whole kingdom, and this has never changed from the past to the present.
Although as far as it seems...... I can't feel the meaning at all.
But even if his personal relationship with the king was not the reason for his long-term tenure as prime minister, this friendship involuntarily gained him more trust. Perennial friendship was there, and perhaps he didn't notice it himself...... But he did give too much power to Pimes, and like the ancient feudal princes, he enjoyed a high degree of autonomy in many matters.
Facts have proved that no matter how clean a country is, it is impossible to give too much trust to a person politically. People's hearts change...... He won't always be the image you've ever seen, maybe it's just a dark and windy night on which month you think a little deeper, and you change your outlook on life forever.
Pimax has really changed a lot. At least at this moment, Hamory can't understand this old friend.
"Bastard, what have you done?!" Hamori's angry voice roared through the palace, his former calm image was gone, and a panicked expression appeared on his face that could not be concealed, and it was clear that the situation was completely beyond the worst he had imagined.
Even in his personal expectations, the situation of the invasion of the entire territory of the demon race would not be worse than it is now.
"Pimes, do you want to rebel?!" At this moment, he was surrounded by a group of armed black shadows, unable to move at all. The sharp peak of the blade lay above his neck, and the slightest movement was really life-threatening.
All of them belong to the Shadow troops. It was the army that Pimeth once single-handedly founded, because it was the will of an old friend, he must have his own reasons, so Pimeth wanted to create it and asked for his opinion, and Hamory did not hesitate to agree, and did not pursue this matter too much later.
Now his own laxity has created such an embarrassing situation, the wolves who have been freed in the wild for a long time, and were originally ready to bite the enemy fiercely, now turned around and aimed their sharp teeth and claws at themselves.
It's all the result of one's own planting...... A kingdom that has remained undisturbed for more than a thousand years...... Such history is about to be shattered at this moment.
Why didn't there be a rebellion? Because there was no afterglow, the demons were always watching the creatures on this continent at any time, and even the hundred-year truce needed to urgently prepare the materials for the next war, and there was really no afterglow to engage in anything that consumed their own strength.
After all, it is because of the common enemy that the whole kingdom can be so united.
The Demon God is a bad guy...... Because of his words, it already made Pimax feel that it didn't matter, and his words carried a strange magic, war or something...... Demons or something...... In his eyes, it didn't matter anymore.
Even the enemies they had to deal with were lost...... If you really want to say it, the brave man in the empire is the target he is facing at this time. Even now, I hesitate and endure the idea that I want to turn around at any time.
only to realize how painful it was...... Gone are the days of clear goals, how wonderful were those days...... Now we have to wander and grope our way through the fog, and we may face the danger of falling into the endless abyss at any time.
Even then had to move forward...... Even if you want to "betray" because of this, you will be an old friend who has been with you almost all your life.
[Shadow] is his minions, and it is also a genius warrior who has been carefully selected by himself to be one step from the kingdom of many talents. Engaged in the dirty work under the kingdom, at this moment he finally found the dirtiest work, providing military support for Pimez's coup.
He rebelled, and in a moment he took control of all the armed forces in the palace. Rao is Hamory, who is also a powerful magician with the power of self-preservation, and is also controlled by these excellent black-clothed people who are good at fighting in an instant. Pimax used his fame and the other party's trust in him, like a "soldier" who did not stop in the face of the breakthrough, rushing to the "general" in the center of the other party, without doing more far-reaching military work, and easily becoming a "general".
Hammery...... No, Your Majesty, there is a reason for this......" said Pimes bitterly to the king who was shouting angrily at him, "I can't let you know yet...... But you'll find out one day. ”
Hammery is a grumpy guy...... If he finds out, I'm afraid he won't compromise with the demon god at all, and he will make a decision that is very different from his own, leading the living forces of the entire kingdom to fight to the death with the other party.
However, Pimez is different, staying alive is the most important thing. He can understand the feeling of living without wanting to be humiliated, but he can't let all the people of the kingdom have the same thoughts as himself and save their lives...... It's something I have to do.
For this purpose sacrifice the brave. The existence of the brave is just a "pawn" in a fight.
"What reason can there be?!" Hamory blushed as he was shocked, "Pimes is no joke!
"Of course I'm not joking......" Quietly calming his mind, Pimez closed his eyes and said softly, "I'm serious." ”
"I'm serious!" opened his eyes suddenly, and Pimax drank out flatly, letting the other party know the extent of his determination, "I'm serious! Even if I die, I won't hesitate...... So please...... Old friend, don't resist, don't make it difficult for me......"
"Are you too caught up in power......
"It's not that simple......" Pimes sighed and turned away from Hammery, "I have something to do." ”
"No kidding! I'm ......," Hammery roared, and the muscles of his body bulged with menacing, pure white magic traveling up and down his body like a python. As a king, he didn't have much chance of confronting the enemy head-on, but he didn't miss a day of training for this, just to prevent an unexpected incident one day.
Although he expected to deal with the demonic beasts that sneaked into the palace at this moment, he didn't expect that it was his own people who resisted for the first time.
However...... "Ahh......h Because you have such a temper tantrum...... I don't dare to leave the final decision of this country to you......"
As a king, Hammerey is naturally the type that has gained a lot of personality charm by virtue of his bravery, and it is conceivable that even if he is poor in the end, there are still people who follow him without regrets.
is the kind of hero who is not afraid of ***, even if there is a sweeping flame in front of him, he can't stop his steps.
"Really...... This kind of character, why aren't you a brave man......"
It's because of this kind of personality that I can't let you make decisions.
Hamory's majestic magic broke away from all the assassins who were standing next to him, smashing the bluestone brick floor with one kick, and slamming his fist into Pimez's back with a fist full of magic power.
Hamory is one of the few demon warriors, that is, an excellent talent who has both magic and swordsmanship, and has a thunderous momentum under one blow, and this spirit can firmly rank in the top three even among the Knights of the Round Table.
But he didn't do it to death, even now...... In the face of his long-term old friend, he just wanted to be able to knock himself out.
All his people were like his own family, and he didn't believe that his people would kill him. Even if the [Shadow] troops are loyal to Pimeis, first of all, the prime minister himself is also his irreplaceable family.
Sure enough, the men in black inevitably panicked.
If it was an enemy, they would not hesitate to cut his neck if they showed resistance at the beginning. However, if the other party was the king, he would not be able to do it, and it was obvious that there was no intention of killing him in the original plan.
Hamery was overjoyed and thought that his "gambling" behavior was the right bet.
They are not carried away by the supreme power, they are still the kind and lovely guys of the past.
However, it didn't touch Pimez's back. With a sigh from him, Hammery suddenly felt his body sink, and the strength in his body instantly dissipated, and his body fell straight to the ground.
Is that the ...... Last night Pimes casually handed a cup of tea at the table while he was immersed in his official business, and he did not have the slightest suspicion that he drank it all as soon as he tilted his head, and smacked his lips and felt that it was not enough.
It's been planned since last night......
No, it probably started when Pimax became a little weird, and it was planned a long time ago......
"I don't know what you're doing...... his eyelids were heavy, but Hammery tried his best to squeeze out a smile, "You didn't do the bad thing...... How can you do it if you don't be ruthless?"
"Get some sleep, old friend!" (To be continued.) )
