At dusk, after receiving Liuyun's order, the team that had been strictly monitoring the rebels began to move.

"How's the preparation?" Nalendo asked in a deep voice after checking Black Hawk's battle preparations, coming to Monsoon and the others.

Monsoon nodded and waved at Paul. Paul dragged a man forward.

"Captain, take a look. As he spoke, Paul took the man in his hand and pushed him before Narondo.

If Narondo hadn't arranged this with his own hands, he would have thought that the unconscious man in front of him was Prince Joseph. From the clothes on his body to his figure and appearance, he is exactly the same as Joseph, and it has completely reached the point of being fake.

"Paul, you're so good!" exclaimed Nalendo.

"Hehe, it was with this hand that I killed an Asman division commander in the Roman Province. In terms of appearance, I can only do this, and I can't hide my expression, but I think no one will notice it at night and in the chaos of the army. ”

"Hmm. As long as this man dies at the right time, the rebels will be in chaos. Naron nodded.

1 Joseph's rebel army was under cover in the night:#: It was attacked by an army of 20,000 sent from the imperial capital, and Joseph had to send a broken army, but the order of the entire army was already out of order. In the midst of the chaos, a rebel army of hundreds of men, however, appeared to be extremely organized, hugging tightly and squeezing towards the center of the army.

"Uncle, why is he so troubled?" Shi Yan couldn't help but sigh softly when he heard the earth-shattering shouts outside the city. Although Joseph had assassinated him and eventually betrayed the empire, Shi Yan's heart was still a little uncomfortable when he saw him come to this point.

"Power and ** are the beginning of a person's journey to madness and destruction. Many careerists believe in this sentence, so they do not hesitate to take risks. Your Highness. The position behind you is so tempting!" Liuyun laughed.

"But I know that this is the place where you are invited, and you will not want to. Shi Yan said.

"I am just a soldier, and it is my duty to protect the country and its people. Liuyun said calmly.

However, there are people who are desperate for him. Shi Yan smiled bitterly, "I still remember that you said a long time ago that you would never fight for the nobles. If I can't be a good emperor, I'm afraid you'll abandon me, right?"

"Your Highness. I believe in my own vision. After that assassination, I believe you have understood that there is no distinction between high and low in life, and people are not born into three, six, nine and so on. I expect you to change something that doesn't make sense, and I'll help you clear all the obstacles that come your way. After this battle, the empire should be able to usher in a new year, right?"

"If I could exchange everything I have for Xiaoxiao's life, I would not hesitate to do it. But it can't be. So I can only try to do my own thing. As a prince. I still have to carry the burden of the fire cloud. The war is over, and we still have a lot of troubles to face, at least whatever we want to do will be restricted by that group of nobles. ”

"I have some ideas in my mind, but I feel constrained like you, and even with your support, it's hard to do. Liuyun continued.

"Your Majesty, Legion Commander, I have some suggestions, should you listen to them. Alexander, who was sitting next to the two, suddenly spoke up. After learning that those insidious ideas were all from him. Shi Yan specially called him to accompany the two.

"Then you can say it quickly!" Liuyun listened to him. I couldn't help but light up in my eyes.

"I'm also curious. What the hell are you thinking? Shi Yan said with a smile.

"The best way to deal with those nobles is to let them devalue and proliferate! Your Highness may as well take advantage of the end of this war. In addition to giving due rewards to the officers and soldiers of the army who have made meritorious achievements, everyone can be given a knighthood. In this way, first, the title can be slowly turned into an honor, and second, a new group of nobles can be mass-produced in the military, forming two different aristocratic classes, provoking them to oppose each other, and making these nobles lose the support of the military. In this process, we must firmly grasp the army, and as long as the army is not chaotic, no one can touch the foundation of the country. ”

"My day, power comes out of the barrel of a gun!" Liuyun listened and secretly praised in his heart.

"Well, what else?" Shi Yan asked thoughtfully.

"There is another suggestion, and it depends on the courage of His Highness. Alexander seemed to have understood Shi Yan's temper, and said bluntly, "After the war, Your Highness might as well set aside a piece of land for my legion commander, where you can do whatever you want, isn't it? However, such a reward has not appeared in the history of the empire for a long time, so it depends on the courage of His Royal Highness. ”

"I'm afraid it won't work. The empire has been centralized for many years, and this example is incomprehensible. Liuyun felt that Alexander's topic was a little too sensitive, so he hurriedly said.

Shi Yan was silent for a while, and said to Alexander with a smile: "You must have already thought of a solution, just say it all." I think that when it comes to these conspiracies, I am afraid that you and your local army commander will not be able to match yours. ”

"Don't be a fief, you want to be demoted! And if you get an ordinary person who can't sit in a stable position, whoever wants to have an opinion will let go! Not to mention the fiefdom, at most you will be a governor or something, and you must seize the military and political power!"

"What do you think is good?" Shi Yan then asked

"Roman Province. It is bordered by Sith to the west, Asman to the south, and the Asman army of Patna to the east. When Alexander finished speaking, he was secretly proud in his heart.

"Boss, don't blame me for putting you on the fire to roast, only then can you become stronger. With a province in your hands, the power of life and death in your hands, you will get used to the feeling of being superior after a long time. ”

"Well, that's a good suggestion. Let's talk about how to do it. ”

Shi Yan then had a heated discussion with Alexander. And the local parties in the incident. But he felt a feeling of boredom in his heart, and got up and walked to the edge of the city wall. With the end of the war, there were many things for him to consider. Things in the army, things about cults, political struggles, etc., and more importantly, in distant Assman, Ling'er is still waiting for him day and night to save her.

"Can you tell me the real purpose of choosing the Roman Province?" Shi Yan and Alexander discussed for a while, and then suddenly asked.

"Your Highness. Didn't I already say that? Alexander asked with a smirk.

"With your bad belly, can I believe you?"

"What does Your Highness think?"

"Roman Province, that's the hometown of Hua Scarlet Tears, the birthplace of the Roman family!

"I didn't expect that. I hate the combination of Beauty and the Beast, though. The corps commander is very lazy and doesn't take the initiative in doing anything, I'm the chief of staff. Of course, I had to think about it. Alexander said, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.

"If you become a prime minister, you will definitely become a famous traitor in the history of the empire!" Shi Yan scolded with a smile.

"Your Highness has won the award, I will not enter the court to become an official. I will always be a chief of staff next to the Legion Commander. ”

"Aren't you afraid that I will punish you for your crimes?" Shi Yan asked with a cold face.

"No, no matter how far he goes, even if he is not loyal to the nobility and the royal family. But will always be loyal to the country and its people. His Highness is a man who cares about the people and longs for change. Nature and he are always on the same path. He has no ambitions, and there will be no conflict between you. ”

"It seems that you know him very well!" Shi Yan said.

"So I don't mess with you, I like to hide behind him and trap people. ”

"Why?"

"Because he is not afraid that I will smear him, and he is willing to carry the black pot for me, but you will not. Alexander laughed.

“...... Embarrassed!"

The later Emperor of the Huoyun Empire, unintentionally Chrysostom Yuyan, perfectly interprets the relationship between Alexander and Liuyun.

Somewhere in the middle of the rebels' army. Suddenly, there was a bright light. Countless fireballs flew into the sky. Illuminate the night sky red. Where the fireball rose, there was a violent fluctuation in the ground. A high platform was raised, and several people stood on the platform. This sudden change surprised many rebel officers and soldiers, and the people on the stage immediately attracted their attention.

On the stage, two soldiers carried a mentally exhausted man, and a soldier stood in front of the stage with a steel knife.

"Keep your eyes open and see who this man is!" the sword-wielding soldier shouted, and the other two lifted their heads high.

"Oh my God, it's the Prince!" exclaimed among the officers and soldiers.

"Do you see it all? He's the traitor Joseph!" the soldier smiled coldly, and with a wave of his steel sword, the head of "Joseph" flew high and fell into the middle of the rebels.

The rebels were terrified, and hundreds of soldiers near the platform ripped off their rebel clothes in unison, revealing a black battle armor.

"Joseph has been killed by the Black Hawk Legion! Don't resist in vain! Those who surrender are not guilty, and those who do not surrender are killed!"

The members of the Black Hawk Special Operations Brigade kept killing the officers and soldiers around them who were trying to resist, while shouting loudly. As if to cooperate with their deterrence, a Magister-level "Meteor Shower" suddenly appeared on the battlefield, and a dense large fireball roared and fell towards the rebel soldiers' camp. This was followed by another "ice storm" that claimed the lives of hundreds of rebel soldiers. After witnessing this, many rebel soldiers obediently dropped their weapons and crouched on the ground.

The news of the killing of "Joseph" soon spread among the rebels, and a wave of surrender followed. Many of the rebel soldiers were glad that they had finally waited for such an opportunity, and some even cursed in a low voice that Black Hawk had come too late.

Joseph, who was walking in front of the rebel camp, was completely unaware of what was happening to the troops behind him at first, only listening to the constant shouts of killing from behind, and the number of people in the group behind him became smaller and smaller. Later, the news of "Joseph's death" finally reached his ears, and he was so angry that he thundered, but he had no choice but to take the remaining tens of thousands of people and hurried west.

"Division commander, there is a lot of fighting under the imperial capital, the rebels are retreating westward, and many people are beginning to surrender. What to do?"

An officer rode up to Anthony and reported urgently.

When Anthony led a cavalry division close to the imperial capital. He found that the situation was somewhat abnormal, so he sent a group of scouts and quickly figured out the situation.

"What should I do? Since it was a defeat and retreat, it must be an important figure for the rebels who ran ahead. ”

With Anthony's order, it arrived

The cavalry division of the Separate Regiment immediately plunged into the melee.

"Xiaoka, that elf love saint, let's go and have a good time, right?" After Lao Ka finished speaking, he led the two of them to start a magical attack on the rebels.

Nalan's mood was quite excited at this time. He led 30,000 cavalry around behind the rebels. Originally, he was preparing to launch an assault, but he didn't expect the rebels to suddenly have a big rout. Therefore, he decisively ordered an ambush on the road to the west of the rebels, and attacked the rebels in the west head-on. And the nearly 30,000 rebels who suddenly appeared in front of him became his prey.

"The whole army has it, assault!"

Nalan led the cavalry in only one assault, inflicting heavy casualties on the rebels. And this time in the assault, Nalan was pleased to find that a large number of rebels were concentrating somewhere on the battlefield, as if they were protecting an important person.

"Joseph. No wonder you're here? Looks like I've caught a big fish. Nalan smiled, knowing that Lady Luck had finally favored him.

Soon, the cavalry, led by Nalan, made several consecutive charges against the rebel camp and successfully routed the rebel army. Many rebel officers and soldiers chose to flee in all directions, leaving a few thousand rebels. Tightly hugged. Make a final stubborn resistance.

"Rush forward and capture the traitor Joseph alive!" Nalan shouted excitedly.

"200,000 elites, it has become like this in an instant, it seems that I, Joseph, am still unpopular!"

Defeated, Joseph looked at the thousands of rebels gathered around him, his last henchmen, and sighed sadly. Most of the men who followed Joseph were officers and soldiers who had been fighting with him for many years. At the last moment, he still chose to be loyal to him.

"Bring the sword. I'm with you today. Finally, there will be a vigorous battle!"

Joseph's martial arts skills were quite strong, but his personal strength was completely unable to reverse the disadvantage on the battlefield. The corpses of the Imperial cavalry who fell to the ground under his sword continued to grow. But there are fewer and fewer people around him. And the serious consumption of vindictive energy made him feel exhausted. The sound of "capturing Joseph alive" in his ears was getting closer and closer, and Joseph's decades-long dream of being an emperor finally woke up at this moment when he was at the end of his rope.

"Joseph, order your soldiers to lay down their arms and surrender, and I will save your life for the time being. If you continue to resist, you will die!"

Nalan looked at Joseph and the hundreds of rebels who were still fighting desperately, and shouted. Speaking in this tone in front of the former prince of the empire made him feel the extreme glory of the victor.

"I am a member of the royal family, and I can die in battle, but I will never live to be humiliated!" said Joseph.

"Okay, like a man, I'll fulfill you!"

Accompanied by a dense rain of arrows, a clear voice sounded on the battlefield. Thousands of imperial cavalry swept out from behind Joseph and the others, surrounded Joseph and the others, and divided some of them to block Nalan's cavalry.

The sound of arrows breaking through the air and the screams of the rebels were constantly heard inside, and these cavalrymen who suddenly appeared launched a merciless shooting of the rebels who had run out of oil.

When Anthony appeared in front of Nalan with a smile, the latter's eyes were already on the verge of spewing fire. Imagine someone drooling and staring at a boiled duck and suddenly put on its wings and fly away, who doesn't hate it? And Anthony is the one who put wings on the duck.

"Which unit are you, isn't that too much!" Nalan scolded angrily.

"Anthony of the Black Hawk Independent Regiment has met the Legion Commander! Brother troops, everyone is killing the enemy for the Empire, it's not good to say that," Anthony replied calmly.

Count Liuyun's troops, right, the means of stealing credit are ruthless enough!" Nalan laughed angrily.

"Alas, the commander of the legion is serious, how dare we rob you of your merits! It's just that you are tired of killing, so pass by and do me a favor. Killing the enemy for the country is within the emperor's business!" Anthony laughed.

"Division commander, the head of the traitor Joseph!" an officer ran over excitedly with a bloody human head.

"Damn, what are you going to do!" Anthony scolded angrily, whipping the officer with a whip, "Didn't you hear the Legion Commander, who had been shouting to be caught alive just now?

"This ......" the officer was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to reply.

"I'm sorry, Commander, it's all my men's incompetence! However, the Captain wants to 'capture Joseph alive', and I don't think I'm interested in this death, so I'll take it back myself!" Anthony took the head, looked at Nalan and sighed regretfully.

"Porphyry!" Nalan burst into anger and spurted out a mouthful of blood.

"The commander of the regiment is injured? After the war, I need to recuperate more! Anthony has taken his leave!"

After Anthony finished speaking, he led the cavalry division to the imperial capital city at a hurry.

Looking at the cavalry roaring and roaring away, Nalan looked up to the sky and sighed, wanting to cry speechlessly. Careful arrangement, desperate fighting, all for others to make wedding dresses. The goddess of fate's favor for him, after Anthony appeared, suddenly turned into a huge white eye, mocking his failure.
