Chapter 63: Secret Report
The 100,000 army led by General Buck, under the farewell of the emperor and tens of millions of people in Yanjing, finally set off in a mighty way. Within a few days, Britney was also handed over to the Imperial Law Enforcement Department for trial. Under the tearful plea of General Enslang, an old minister of the empire who had just been rescued, His Majesty Pierre VI remembered that he had suffered for the empire for nine years, and his daughter was really helpless to commit treason. After all Britney's crimes were investigated, Britney was pardoned from death. Dange stripped her of all the rights of her nobility and worked hard for the rest of her life.
After a few more days, the Great Sage could not resist Coya's repeated requests and asked His Majesty Pierre VI for Britney. Under the pretext of being a slave in the Holy Church, he changed hands and gave it to Keya. After a circle, Britney returned to Koya's side. Because she had been changed to a lifelong slave and was not allowed to return to the General's Mansion, she lived in Koya's house and served her master, Keya.
General Enslang's health improved slightly, so he gave a banquet to his life-saving benefactor, Koya. Koya took her slave Britney to the feast. When father and daughter see each other, they have their own joys and sorrows. During the banquet, General Enslang and his sons and daughters expressed their gratitude to Koya. Anne saw that Keya had won the respect of her grandfather and mother, and she was also happy and proud.
Although the clouds of war loomed over the entire Ponsin Empire, life seemed to be back to normal. Koya went to the academy for classes during the day and at night at the Holy Trainer Sword. During this period, there was no more pagan attacks on the Holy Religion.
Since Keya returned from the battle in Shabaka Prison that day, his fighting spirit has improved to another level. At this moment, he is already the pinnacle of a high-level swordsman, and he has a pure cyan fighting spirit. Diana was nominally a guardian swordsman who protected the Holy Maiden, but in fact, like Koya, she practiced in the sword training room of the Temple of the Holy Word. After Keya and the Holy Sword Man Sword are united, he can still point and point to her.
And just like that, the empire entered the New Year. Koya, nineteen years old! In a short time, he will be in second grade and an old student.
I don't know if it was because General Buck's reputation was too loud and the lessons of the war nine years ago were too painful, the kingdom of Tandax never launched a war of aggression. The calm of the border allowed the 20 million people of the empire to have a good New Year. In the blink of an eye, spring has arrived. Because the empire is located in the south of the continent, it is full of flowers early and full of spring.
That night, in the Emperor's bedchambers at the Imperial Palace, His Majesty Pierre VI was pacing anxiously back and forth with his hands behind his back, frowning. In his hand, he still held a secret report that was sent back from the front line in an urgent manner. There seemed to be a tricky situation that bothered him.
After a while, he stopped walking around and preached, "Haneke!"
Someone outside the door immediately responded: "Your Majesty, the old slave is here!"
"Immediately summon the Count of Louganis and the Marquis of Van Brent into the palace, and say that I have something important to discuss. ”
"Yes, the old slave will arrange it!"
Not long after the person outside the door left, the door of the dormitory was gently pushed open. The one who can keep the guards silent is of course Queen Irina. After she walked in, she saw that her husband hadn't rested so late, and couldn't help but say lightly: "Your Majesty, why haven't you slept yet? Even if you work hard for the country, you have to pay attention to your body!"
Pierre VI turned his head and saw that it was the queen who had entered, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said, "You're here?"
Irina walked over, took a coat and gently draped it over her husband's shoulders, and said, "Although it is spring, the nights are still very cold. You are the king of a country, and for the sake of the country and the people, you must also pay attention to your body. Besides, isn't this battle still fought yet? Is there something serious that makes it difficult for you to sleep so well?"
Pierre VI sighed and said, "It is precisely because the battle has not yet started that I am uneasy!"
Queen Irina was a little strange, she helped her husband and said, "Come, let's sit on the edge of the bed." Tell me if you have any worries, and see if I can share some of your worries. ”
Pierre VI walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, handed the secret report in his hand to his wife, and said, "Look at the secret report that Buck has sent back from the front in an urgent manner. The army of the Kingdom of Tandax has not moved for a long time, and sure enough, there is a big problem with it. ”
After Irina took it, she looked at it carefully, and said with some surprise: "If the information is true, then the empire is really in trouble!"
Pierre VI said: "Yes, although my Ponsin Empire is also a powerful country at the southern tip of the mainland, if the alliance of the three kingdoms attacks us, as the secret report says, the disaster of annihilation is just around the corner!"
Irina also frowned, thought about it for a while, and said: "The Zhuang Khan Kingdom in the northwest of our country and the Kingdom of Tandax have always had a relationship of marriage, and it is not impossible for them to collude with Tandax and want to be unfavorable to our country. But the Empire of Dolfoordo has always been friendly with our country, and they have no friendship with the Kingdom of Tandax, so why are they also involved in this conspiracy?"
Pierre VI smiled faintly and said: "Between countries, there are always only eternal interests, and there is no eternal friendship. I think it was the kingdom of Tandax that promised them some huge benefits, which made the old emperor of Loveldo tempted?"
Irina thought for a moment and said, "The purpose of the Kingdom of Tandax is very simple, they want to destroy the source of faith of the Holy Goddess, so that the god of fire they believe in can obtain the godhead of the goddess. This battle was driven by their cult and was inevitable. The god of the wind, believed in the Zhuang Khan Empire, is said to have been a friend of the god of fire since the time of the gods. It is also logical that their cult supports the kingdom of Tandax. But the Rofordo Empire believes in the goddess of nature, she is a high-ranking god, she shouldn't do this, and she also wants to get the godhead of our holy goddess?"
Pierre VI sighed lightly and said, "Who knows, what are the gods of heaven thinking, and how can we mortals know? This is just a reconnaissance report, and I don't know anything about the details of it." That's why I immediately asked the heads of intelligence agencies and foreign affairs agencies to come over and discuss how to deal with this matter. Irina, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight. You'd better go back to the dormitory and rest early!"
Irina snorted, but said softly, "Your Majesty, we should take precautions." Do you think I'm going back to Heint once to seek my brother's support for my country?"
When Pierre heard this, he closed his eyes and thought for a while, then sighed softly and said, "Your homeland Heint is too small for their national strength to withstand a war. If it weren't for the last resort, I really wouldn't want to drag your imperial brother down to this boundless sea of suffering. Forget it, I'll figure it out another way. Don't worry about that, go to bed early!"
Irina had no choice but to say yes and walked to the door helplessly. But as soon as she reached the door, she stopped again, turned around and said, "By the way, Your Majesty, I actually have something to discuss with you." The time is coming for our daughters to go to the Holy Sect once a year to receive the education of the Great Holy Maiden, but now the Holy Sect is in danger at any time. For the sake of the safety of your daughters, do you think this matter will be canceled this year?"
Pierre was stunned for a moment, calculated in his heart, and said with a smile: "Yes, in three days, it will be my princesses who will be educated by the goddess." This cannot be canceled, and this tradition has never been interrupted since the founding of the Empire. Besides, now that there are so many strong people in the Holy Sect, I don't think there is any danger. It's a big deal, I'll just send some more people to protect it!"
"But ......," said Empress Irina, but Pierre VI waved her hand and said, "That's it, I know what to do." We are all devout believers in the Goddess, and we don't accept the teachings of the Goddess for the sake of a little danger, so how can we do that?"
Irina had no choice but to sigh lightly, squatted down and bowed, and retired gloomily!
At the same moment, in the sword practice room of the Temple of the Holy Word, Keya and Diana were fighting fiercely with each other. Both of them have a fighting spirit, each showing their skills, and the killing is inseparable. The current Keya swordsmanship is no worse than Diana, and her fighting spirit is two layers higher than hers. So after fighting to fifty moves, Diana gradually felt unbearable.
But knowing that she was invincible, she was not convinced. While resisting desperately, he muttered in his heart: "Stinky boy, with the help of the Holy Sword, you can progress so fast." What's so great about bullying me as a weak woman? Hmph! Hmph! I think when you first entered the academy, I taught you how to practice swords! Now that you have surpassed me, you deliberately hit me so hard! Hmph! Look at your smug look, what are you smiling at? Still laughing? I'm so angry! I'm so angry!
After fighting for a while, Keya suddenly laughed and said, "You lost!" As he spoke, he stabbed Diana in the left shoulder with a sword at an unbelievable angle. Originally, he wanted to take it at the touch of it, so that he could win without hurting her. But Diana suddenly bit her silver teeth, completely ignoring the gap in her left shoulder, and instead stabbed Keya in the lower abdomen with a sword. Seeing that she wanted to fight to the end, Ke Ya couldn't help but be stunned, thinking that this was a sword competition, not a desperate surname, why would she use such a lose-lose trick?
His mind turned sharply, so he had no choice but to immediately put away his sword and retreat, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay! Let's settle for a draw, let's take a rest!"
Knowing that Diana took advantage of it, she refused to give up. While he put away his sword and retreated, he still pounced on him. The sword was still stabbed into Koya's lower abdomen. Keya had no choice but to retreat until he reached the edge of the stone wall, but Diana still did not give up. Looking at her frame, it was as if she was going to nail Koya's sword to the wall.
Keya had no choice but to fight back. The long sword in his right hand slammed down, trying to block her deadly sword. But Diana's sword came so quickly, and it didn't seem to leave any stone unturned. Keya miscalculated, and in this shot, the flat sword actually hit the thumb of her right hand holding the sword. Hearing only a "snap", Diana screamed in pain, and the sword had fallen off her hand.
After the blow, Keya was also taken aback, thinking to himself, oh no, I won't break her fingers in this shot?
