Koster XIII, the titular supreme ruler of the Northern Celestial District, has in fact never left this sprawling palace since he was born. When he was still a prince, he also had the pride to regain the rights that belonged to his family, but he did not show it obviously, because his two brothers, who had made the same bold statements, had suffered misfortune after saying so. And that high-sounding excuse, even a child can't fool it.

But even so, Koster XIII was not discouraged, but learned to keep his head in obscurity. Seemingly. He was just a "perfect" replacement for the timid and cowardly man with no ambitions, but only when he dreamed back at midnight, in a no-man's corner, would anyone see his cold eyes as vicious as a wolf. And when he ascended the throne, he ran to his father's palace in high spirits, he was not interested in such a puppet-like throne at all, what made him excited was that such a humiliating position finally did not have to be borne by his father, he finally did not have to bear the infamy of disgrace to his ancestors, and Koster XIII firmly believed that he could get out of this predicament, with his own persistence and perseverance, he would definitely be able to!

But in his father's bedchamber, he was greeted not by the middle-aged man with a gentle smile on his face, but by a few knights with cold faces, and a piece of news even colder than theirs—Koster XII, dead!

"Emperor, isn't one thing enough?" Koster XIII can still clearly remember the coldness and disdain on the man's face, and he can also remember the azure sword that was still dripping with blood in the man's hand. That sword is called Whisper, and it is said to be a holy weapon that can ignore the way of heaven. And that person was a young general who was in the limelight in the empire at that time, named Song Yunwen!

After that, things were much simpler, Coster found that everything was not as simple as he imagined, the Coster family was imprisoned in the palace by those rebellious nobles tens of thousands of years ago, and the intertwined network of relationships left before was almost uprooted, and the rest hid in the deep mountains and old forests without knowing the world. And because he had not been exposed to the public eye for so long, the people who nominally belonged to him did not even know who their emperor was. A series of blows made Coster disheartened, and he was comfortably locked in the deep palace as a puppet.

But all this was broken one night not long ago, when he came to the tower that his father had loved the most, overlooking the magnificent city that had once belonged to the Koster family, only that day, there was an additional presence behind him.

"Why, aren't those nobles ready to keep me like this anymore? Whether it's good or not, I've been waiting for this day for a long time, I just hope you can make it a little more enjoyable, anyway, I'm also a king, how about giving me a decent death, if you have that interest, you can also let this palatial prison be my burial companion. ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen, I don't know what you're talking about. ”

Koster XIII's body shook slightly when he heard this, how long has it been, how long has it been since no one called him Your Majesty? Even among the beauties who were selected to pass on his lineage, none of them had ever treated him so respectfully as this one, could it be ......

Although his heart was extremely excited, but the cautiousness he had cultivated for many years still made him hold back the emotions surging in his heart, he turned around a little indifferently, only to see that this was a middle-aged man who no longer looked young, but was very energetic, for some reason, seeing this person, the words "Ying Meng Xianchen" appeared in Koster's heart, as if there was a kind of guidance in the dark, sent this person to him, save his family, his empire!

"You...... Who is it?" Coster didn't notice, his voice was already a little shaky, and even when he thought he was an assassin who had come to kill him, he didn't show such a gaffe.

"Weichen, the elder elder. Zhao Ziyue. Zhao Ziyue's tone was very humble, but Coster was slightly stunned when he heard this. Although he was under house arrest in the palace and the information was blocked, he also knew what kind of power the Senate had, and Zhao Ziyue, as the three giants of the Senate, came here today, what was it for?

"Your Majesty, Wechen came today to say a big rebellious word, and he came to make a deal with you. Zhao Ziyue's tone was still humble, but there was an unquestionable feeling. Hearing this, the scorching temperature in Coste's eyes gradually cooled.

"I hope Your Majesty can do me a favor, and in exchange, we, the Senate, will give you a complete Northern Heaven Empire!"

"Why are you doing this?" said Koster, who suddenly felt like a dream. This person will not and does not need to deceive himself into such a puppet emperor who has nothing in his hands, but why would he do this?

"It's a simple reason, revenge. Zhao Ziyue smiled, but the smile gradually became extremely hideous: "I want to personally send that damned garbage to where he should go." Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about anything, because after all this, I'm afraid I won't have long to live, and my men will resolutely carry out your orders and restore the glory of the Koster family!"

"Well, then, it's settled!" said Koster XIII, nodding heavily, and then saying, "However, I would like you to tell me about the plan, and of course, you have the right to refuse." ”

"To be honest, this is not a secret, Your Majesty, compared to what you have heard before, about the prophecy of the end times, in fact, it is not alarmist, the prophecy is coming step by step, and all we have to do is to push it behind it!"

"But are you sure that things will be under our control? I don't think that the prophesied horror will follow our path in order. ”

"That's not your business, Your Majesty. Zhao Ziyue said with a smile: "Although I can't tell you too many things, I can still remind you of one thing, that is, he is from the southwest." ”

At this time, neither Mei Youren nor Song Yunwen had a good time, and for Mei Youren, at this moment, he was facing the saturation attack of Jin Cancan, who was angry and angry due to the rumors flying all over the camp. Although this has become flirting in the eyes of others, have you ever seen a coquettish way that has a crack on the ground?

In order to prevent his biggest reliance - the city wall was caused by the reckless earthquake turmoil of the girl Jin Cancan and caused it to collapse, Mei Youren had to lead this girl to the wilderness, as for whether it would be falsely rumored that the two of them fought a field battle for a while, this kind of thing is not something that Mei Youren needs to consider.

In fact, although today's battle is not a small gain in the eyes of the soldiers at the grassroots level, but in the eyes of these high-level people, it is still not cheap at all, and even a thousand excellent soldiers have been wasted in vain, no matter what the injuries are, these poor guys are thinking of having combat effectiveness within a month, and more importantly, their original secret weapon, the Lester Forbidden Spell Holy Sorcerer, was inexplicably killed in their own tent。 It is true that the mage department is not good at entering battles, especially when encountering assassins and the like, it can be said that they are helpless, but even so, it is a bit too unbelievable to be infiltrated into their base camp to play assassination!

The atmosphere of the meeting was depressed for a while, and I am afraid that except for a guy like General Li, whose elbow was turned outward, no one would be happy in their hearts, even those who had no heart all day long. In fact, the small broken pass city in front of him is still a slum area of the empire, if it is an ordinary rebellion, the Song family army will not be in such a hurry at all, but the important problem is that after these rioters, there are tens of thousands of troops who are attacking the city on their own territory. Compared with the troops of the Nantian District, which are fighting against the people in the Xitian District all the time, the biggest advantage of the Central Army of the Beitian District, which has been comfortable for too many years, is to wait for work with ease, but if they don't even have a solid direction, then waiting for work with ease will become a joke.

At this time, Song Yunwen already faintly had the intention of retreating, not that he was afraid of the coalition formed by these mud legs, but that he had clearly realized that the flames of war were probably already unstoppable and would burn to the Inner Heaven Region, but he also knew that his request to retreat was impossible to agree, although he was the leader of the nobles, but there were still many differences of opinion among the nobles, not to mention that there were two behemoths of the Senate and the Holy See by his side?

After a while, Song Yunwen broke the silence, he knocked on the table, and then said: "Everyone, we are now facing a very serious problem, that is, the Guancheng in front of us is obviously much stronger than we imagined, and if we can't take it in a short time, I'm afraid that the enemy's reinforcements will be killed, and at that time, what we are facing is not a ragtag army, but a group of desolate beasts that come overwhelmingly with the power of great victory!"

Song Yunwen stood up as he spoke, and continued, "Now, we need to brainstorm and come up with a way to break through the enemy's defenses in a short period of time. As long as this method is reasonable and the implementation is successful, then I will give this person a credit for it!"

Everyone, look at me, I look at you, although they all covet this head work, but everyone knows that this thing is not something to talk about casually, so the atmosphere became a little awkward again for a while. At this time, a military general who looked like five big and three thick stood up and said to Song Yunwen: "Dashuai, since the other party is unwilling to fight with us, can't we get those guys out, * They fight with us?"

"This is unrealistic, those guys are very aware of the difference in strength and quality between them and us, as long as their commander's brain is not pumped, he will definitely not leave their turtle shell and come out to find death!" But the five big and three thick guy didn't mind, he scratched his head and said quietly: "Then they don't want to get out of the turtle shell, then let's chop their turtle shell, it's all right." ”

"Equally unrealistic. Another senior general answered: "With the existing heavy weapons of our army, it is simply impossible to break the opponent's city defense by force, not to mention the power of our trebuchet, even if it is suitable for the number of stones for projectile, this is enough for us to have a headache!"

"That, what you said is not quite what I thought, I am a rough person, although I don't understand those messy things, but I also know, isn't this wall also a wall, no matter how strong the wall is, it can be torn down, isn't it?"

This time, no one refuted anything, and even Song Yunwen showed a pensive look. At this time, Wang Peng stood up and said: "Marshal, I think what Sun Xianfeng said just now has a certain truth, but we can't solve the city wall by pushing, even this kind of city wall in a distant country has extremely strong stability and solidity, which cannot be solved by manpower." However, we can use other means, such as letting the walls fall on their own......"

Song Yunwen nodded: "Go on, there is some truth in what you said." After receiving the encouragement, Wang Peng obviously became more enthusiastic, he used a ball of holy light in mid-air to pinch out a rough model of the city wall, and then said: "No matter how strong the city wall is, it is also a wall-like model, even if it is built into a trapezoidal shape, it can't make his center of gravity too stable, so once we dig a cavity under the city wall......"

As he spoke, his finger pushed lightly, and the golden city wall model suddenly collapsed, and when he saw this, the eyes of the generals present were also full of light. Song Yunwen nodded with satisfaction and added: "We can also pour water in this cavity to weaken the solidity of the ground under the city wall, so that we can break through the opponent's defense line without realizing it, but we have also lost a strong barrier." ”

"There is a give-and-take, marshal!"

"I understand. Song Yunwen nodded, and then said: "Just adopt this plan, the other party's elite troops are completely gathered here, once this line of defense is resolved, the rest are not to worry." Wang Peng, this matter will be left to you with full responsibility, and the other troops will unconditionally fully support this plan. I have only one request, and that is fast!"

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

A confident smile rose on Song Yunwen's face again, he looked at the majestic city wall in the afterglow of the setting sun, and said softly: "Mei Youren, this time, I will see how you break it!"
