Russell looked at the wounded doctors who were treating people in the distance, and the dusty soldiers who were still searching the rubble, and sighed: "They should be appreciated, and their efforts should be rewarded." ”

Charlotte smiled mildly and leaned over to take the bowl from Russell's hand.

Russell smiled and said gratefully, "Thank you for your kindness, my hand has adapted." ”

Seeing this, Charlotte stopped insisting and walked to Carlos with dinner.

Russell looked at the city that had calmed down under a sunset, smiled and picked up his rice bowl, bowed his head and ate heavily.

Even though their homes were damaged by the earthquake, people still have to go on with their lives. At all times, human resilience deserves to be commended.

No matter how big the damage is, there is a time when it can be repaired. After a few days, the city gradually came back to life. Merchants living in the nearby Acropolis saw a business opportunity. Stones and timber brought in from afar stopped on the roadside and began to sell them.

I don't know if it's because of jealousy of the empress, or because of poor sympathy. The price of these materials is not very expensive. The survivors began to rebuild their homes with vigor.

From the northern borders of the empire, reports of war were constantly coming. The northern snowy tribes constantly infested the borders of the empire. Due to the change of the capital of the empire. The nobles on the border changed their minds and shrank their strength and began to hold on to the castle.

Only the people in the village suffered, and they could only face the harassment of robbers and barbarians.

Seeing this, Duke Witz, who had been transferred to the northern frontier, began to gather nearby lords to defend, temporarily resisting the offensive of the northern barbarians.

The heritage of the empire for a hundred years. Or let the decaying state apparatus work again. Under the convening of the empress, the nobles who still had strength began to gather in the capital of the hand.

Despite not having a good rest for many days. But Gladyse was still in good spirits and attentively skimming through today's recital.

By noon, I had finally finished reading it. Heavy reports were piled up on the table. Gladys stretched and sighed, "I didn't expect so many nobles to plot against the royal family. This time, Duke Nicholas's rebellion plan did not expect to involve so many people. ”

Gladys was annoyed and wondered, "Is the rule of the empire so unpopular?

As a woman and halfway emperor to the throne, Gladys often doubted his ability to rule.

This problem has been around for a long time, and the empire's accumulated shortcomings have reached the point where it is difficult to return. The aristocracy lost its passionate and enterprising mentality and began to pursue its extravagant life.

In addition to the nobles who were still guarding the frontier, the nobles in the center of the empire had relied on recruiting mercenaries to maintain order in their territories.

Russell saw many bankrupt peasants on his route to and from the imperial capital, and they were not plundered by bandits, but by the nobles who used various tricks to defraud their fields, thus depriving them of their status as freemen, and the bankrupt peasants naturally became outlaws.

No matter how much she complains, Gladyse always has to face reality. So, she can only continue like this. Years in power have worn away her feminine heart.

Now that the lords of all regions have answered the call of the empress and begun to gather towards the imperial capital, under her leadership, the empire will form the most powerful legion in the world to destroy all resistance.

She still doesn't understand. Why did the powerful Nikolai betray her. Although there was no direct evidence to confirm the infestation of the northern snowfields, her intuition told her that Nikolai must have been involved.

Nikolai, you wait, I will take revenge on you with the wrath of the Empire!" Gladys said secretly in her heart. Because no one can bear the wrath of the Empire, it has been since time immemorial!

After a few days of rest, the buildings near Hill's house were gradually restored, the ruins were cleared, and the place gradually returned to its former life.

"I didn't expect that after only a few days, the impact of the disaster on people was already so small!" Carlos, who had become a little dark, sighed from the balcony.

"Carlos, you have to believe in the perseverance of people. The reason why our ancestors were able to stand proudly on the continent was because of the tenacious will of our human beings. Russell said to him with a smile as he stood beside him.

Carlos looked at the scenery outside and said, "I heard from my friend that the Empress is going to form a legion and prepare to go to the northern snowfields to pacify the tribes there. According to rumors, Nikolai may have been there as well. ”

Hearing this, Russell subconsciously looked at the morning light that was no longer shining on his waist, and said helplessly, "I never imagined that what happened to me in the past six months, but I am sure that the queen must know something about the increase in disasters this time." ”

Russell paused and continued: "I originally thought that strange things were born on the continent, and it seems that there are many unknown secrets in the world, and we still know very little. There are a lot of things I don't know how to explain to you. But their existence is very abrupt and strange, not like the things that exist in our world.

"Do you mean that these things came from another world? How is that possible? Are these conclusions true?" Carlos was surprised.

Russell pointed to his morning light and said, "As I told you, this sword was given to me by an old man. You also see the power of the dawn. He cut off the root of the calamity in two, and such extraordinary power is not something that we mortals can easily create. ”

Carlos looked at Russell and said, "It seems that this disaster is very dangerous inside, and it is not as simple as we thought." ”
