"Pistachio! Stop it! ”

A tall, well-built knight on a black horse stood on a hillside not far away and shouted his sword

The prince and his retinue looked over and saw the knight galloping towards him, and when the other party approached, they saw that half of the knight's face was covered by a strict armor, and that his left arm was not a hand, but a sharp iron hook.

The knight turned over beside them, dismounted, tied the reins, turned and strode menacingly.

"Hats off! Your Majesty the Emperor! The royal attendants knelt down and saluted, and the soldiers took off their hats, smacked their heels hard, and saluted.

"Meyer! And Maxim! Are you all deaf? Didn't you hear me? Put your sword away! Empress Salentos said angrily.

At this time, a large number of officers and soldiers of the Guards who were responsible for protecting the emperor also rushed to the scene.

The two princes did not listen to their mother, they still stood with their swords in their hands, and made a duel gesture.

Maxim gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, the two of them are plotting against me and want to kill me while you are away!" ”

Meyer said angrily: "A lie! Her Majesty the Mother Emperor is wise, don't believe him! Just now, this son said some irresponsible bastard words, and he was disrespectful to my big brother, and I couldn't get angry before I drew my sword and threatened him! ”

Seeing that the two sons did not give in to each other and had their own words, the emperor repeated his request again: "As for who is right and wrong, I have my own opinion, I now order you to lay down your arms, this is the last time, I will not repeat it!" You will bear the consequences of disobedience! ”

The eldest prince Meyer slowly lowered his sword and bowed his head to his mother, but Maxim opposite him still pointed his blade at his eldest brother, and his eyes were full of tears due to emotion, and his sword hand trembled.

"Still disobedient? Then don't blame me for using family law! ”

Empress Sarantos took a few steps at a startling speed, came to Maxim, the iron hook on her left arm poked out, and with a single move, she disarmed her son, and the richly carved saber blade was encased in the iron hook, and the empress threw it hard, and the blade of the sword was half pierced into the earth, shaking continuously.

"Smack!" She raised her right hand and slapped Maxim in the face, and the prince's cheeks quickly swelled, covered his face with her hands, and crouched down into a ball.

"Smack!" Prince Meyer was similarly beaten and silently walked away.

The empress was obviously angry, and her silver-gray eyes were covered with blue bloodshots: "Do you know why I hit you?" ”

Meyer replied, "I know, you warned us that our brothers must not see the sword, right...... I'm sorry...... Your Majesty, I have let you down, I have broken my oath, I confess...... I drew my sword first, please punish me! ”

"Knowing that I taboo this, you still knowingly commit it! I'll punish you for copying military discipline a hundred times! Also welcome... You will be fined two months of pocket money!

…… Ay? No, I forgot that your son has already taken over the Free Trade Alliance, and you are now the Duke of Santa Casrair and the president of the Chamber of Commerce, and you will not be able to use your pocket money for a long time, so I will punish you to volunteer for two months and go to the Honorary Military Sanatorium to serve and urine to retired soldiers! ”

Prince Meyer said respectfully: "I am willing to be punished, Your Majesty the Mother. Then he stood silently.

Maxim was still clutching his swollen cheeks, and he was squatting on the ground sulking, tears streaming down his face.

The emperor glanced at the unruly son and shook his head.

"Hey!" She let out a lament, then turned and said, "Crown Prince Konstanz! You see what happened in full, right? Tell me everything! ”

Prince Constance wiped the fog from his glasses and came to his mother's ear to confide, and the emperor kept nodding: "Well, I see, I know." ”

"You three! Come on to me! ”

Meyer and Constance respectfully gathered around their mother, while Maxim reluctantly stood up and walked over, his cheeks already swollen to show how hard the slap was.

"You are all students of the National Military Academy, although you focus on different directions, some study business management, some study natural science, but the basic military literacy should still be there, let me ask you, how to capture a state-of-the-art fortress in the shortest possible time?"

Maxim still clutched his swollen cheeks, not wanting to speak.

Meyer replied, "Hmm...... I'm not very good at this, if it were me, I would pay more mercenaries to launch a strong attack, reduce the casualties of my regular army, and cut off the water supply of the fortress, or poison the colonel."

"I will bombard the outer wall with 20-pounder heavy cannons, so that the main force of the defenders will have to hold the wall to prevent a surprise attack," replied Constance, "and then I will use howitzers to pour incendiary bombs into the interior of the fortress and burn the supplies of the other side, so that the enemy will not have time to go back and put out the fire." ”

Empress Sarantos smiled and nodded: "There is some truth in this, but there is no absolutely correct answer to this question.

History tells us that the strongest fortresses are often breached from within, so I hope that your brothers will live in harmony with each other, and will never allow disagreements between you. ”

Meyer lowered his head in shame: "I know it's wrong, Your Majesty the Mother Emperor, I will never use a sword with my brother in the future, I swear!" ”

"I trust you, Meyer." Emperor Saranitos turned to look at his son: "Maxim, what about you?" ”

Maxim became much more well-behaved after being beaten, he covered his face and said: "I hope this matter can end here, I will not argue with Brother Meyer again, after all, if I was drunk too much, I admit that I was wrong, I'm sorry, big brother!" You know, I'm such a straightforward person, I can't talk a lot! ”

Meyer walked over and hugged his younger brother: "It's all over, although we have different surnames, but you and I both have the same blood on our bodies, we are all dear children of our mother and His Majesty, I shouldn't have drawn my sword against you, Maxim, I hope you can forgive the recklessness of the eldest brother, we will still be good brothers in the future." ”

Konstanz hugged the two brothers with high chests: "You two have finally reconciled!" It scared the hell out of me! ”

The Empress breathed a sigh of relief, a tired look appeared on the exposed half of her face, and she said softly: "I have already punished Meyer just now, so now, Maxim, see for yourself, what kind of punishment do you think you deserve?" ”

Prince Maxim lowered his hand, revealing his puffy cheeks, he thought for a moment and said, "Punishment...... Fines me for a few months of pocket money? ”

"You're playing this trick with me again!" The Empress said, "Don't think I don't know, every time you are deducted from your pocket money, you will go to your sister Rosemary to borrow money to buy wine!" Not only that, but it's not good to keep you in confinement, Edgar's nasty guy always lets you out on the sly! ”

This can make Meyer and Constance on the side laugh: "Maxim, it seems that you and our two sisters are quite familiar, they always help you, I am a little envious!" ”

Maxim became proud, and said proudly: "Of course, this young master's woman's fate is unbeatable!" ”

The emperor quickly put away his smile: "Since you don't come out, then I will propose a punishment plan, Maxim, I order you to copy the military regulations a hundred times, go to the Honorary Military House as a volunteer for two months, plus ...... Hmm......" The emperor thought for a moment, and suddenly "Smack!" The ground clapped his hands vigorously and said, "Oh! Pregnant! I'll ban you from drinking for two months! ”

The smug look on Maxim's face disappeared without a trace: "You're not kidding, are you! No alcohol for two months? Then you might as well hang me! ”

"Do you dare to be disobedient?" The Emperor snapped, "In that case...... That's three months? ”

Maxim hurriedly waved his hand and knelt down: "Don't don't, don't!" Then don't drink it for two months! I'm done, Your Majesty! ”
