The continent of Arwen, the kingdom of Solan.

In the Office of the Army Commander, someone is reading the report:

"As of the 20th of this month, there have been large-scale slave riots in 19 states in the kingdom.

According to the report submitted by the Bureau of Statistics, about 2.27 million armed slaves participated in the riots, attacking the offices of the Royal Government, burning slave markets and gladiatorial arenas, killing patrolmen, magistrates, slave owners and factory employers, and about 29,000 people were slaughtered. ”

After reading the report, General Shupaiya folded it in half and handed it to Lord Wells Canterbury, Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Army.

The Lord put the report in a drawer, and then thought with a frown: "Well, the situation is much worse than we expected, how is the reaction of His Majesty's side?" ”

General Shupaiya spread his hands and said, "His Majesty King Louis has not held a cabinet meeting recently, and there is no new news from the Senate. ”

"What's the matter, he can sit still when the country is in chaos like this? Any inside information? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, he locked himself in the secret room of the palace, and there were layers of forbidden army guards outside.

He claimed that he was studying the state policy, but in fact, according to the information released by the servants of the royal court, His Majesty was indulging in witchcraft, and he was so deluded that it was difficult for him to fulfill the duties of a monarch! ”

"What witchcraft fascinates him so much? It can't be for the sake of curing the disease, isn't Your Majesty's gout cured a long time ago? ”

"No, the Dark Sect has come up with a new idea, calling it the Eternal Technique, saying that cultivators can transcend mortals and ascend to immortal and immortal demigods."

"Fuck old immortal dog thing! It's really a lie! Nonsense! ”

Lord Wells's beard shook with rage, and he slapped the table hard, and said angrily:

"This damn cult leader Diamund! Last week he secretly withheld the military expenses of our War Department to expand his cathar army, and now he is bewitching His Majesty with evil words, and all the believers are being tricked by him! I wish that old guy a flower willow disease and sores all over his body! ”

"Shhhh Speak, my lord, my heart has ears across the wall! ”

Shu Paiya looked back at the door, and only relieved when he found that there was no one, and then gently closed the doors and windows, for fear of being heard by outsiders;

"Now that Voodoo is gaining momentum, and their followers are all over the kingdom, you and I need to be careful about what we say."

"Humph! It's ridiculous! Lord Wells lit a cigar, took a puff and said:

"I'm the commander-in-chief of the army of the Solan Kingdom, and I still have to live in my office, this building is full of my cronies, I don't believe it, can anyone really report it?"

"Quite possibly!" General Shu Paya said:

"My lord, now that the trend of converting to Voodoo is rampant in the military, it is difficult for us to find people we can trust, to be precise, traditional soldiers like us who support royal power and oppose religious power have been marginalized."

"Hey!" Lord Wells sighed: "I don't want to admit it, but you're right, good soldiers like us are like a fierce caracal thrown into the sea, and we can only watch the voles on the shore do something nonsense, and slowly suffocate to death in a hurry." ”

Shu Paya also had a sad and helpless look: "Yes, Lord Commander, this is the tragedy of bad money driving out good money, the army of the Solan Kingdom has been seriously corrupted by voodoo, and religious soldiers regard witchcraft teaching as more important than national law and military law." ”

"It seems that we are both dissatisfied with the current situation, it is rare to meet a bosom friend, try this, the cellar collection of 1614, special energy, just suitable for dissipating sorrow and boredom!"

Lord Wells poured his men a glass of whiskey for the age. "Thank you." Shu Paiya took a sip of the wine glass and savored it in his mouth: "Good wine!" ”

"Brother Shupaiya, how is the situation at the Admiralty?"

"Much worse than our kingdom's army, three of the twelve admirals converted to Voodoo, and their subordinates followed suit in order to curry favor with their superiors."

"It's over, it's all fucking over! In a few months, the situation will be even worse, when the soldiers will refuse to train to shoot targets and practice witchcraft every day, and if there is a full-scale war with the Valstad Empire, they will be beaten to the ground. ”

"That's exactly what I feared." General Shupaiya put down his wine glass, and his expression became solemn:

"Lord Wells, I know that you are a responsible and upright soldier, I hope you can do something to save the situation, carry a bucket of cold water to douse Your Majesty, and use force if necessary."

Wells Canterbury glanced at the other party: "Your idea is dangerous, General, are you trying to encourage me to carry out a coup d'état?" ”

Shu Paiya's expression was quite firm: "Since I dare to say such things to you, I am already determined to die, and I swear to sacrifice my life to destroy the Soskaya Voodoo Cult and save the kingdom." ”

"Oaths are like the wind, General, and your rhetoric will not change the situation today."

"Rhetoric is not good, but muskets and cannons are fine!

The two infantry divisions under my command are all elite veterans, all of whom come from traditional samurai aristocratic families, and each of them is full of hatred for voodoo and wants to uphold the royal power and overthrow it. ”

"This is far from enough, the king has 150,000 well-equipped royal forbidden troops under the command of the king, and only the king himself is the king's leader, and the apologists of the dark imam have gradually become the climate, not to mention the voodoo cultists in the army and navy."

"As long as there is your call, more people will respond!"

Wells put down his cigar and stroked his beard: "What if I don't?" ”

Shupaiya put his hand on the hilt of his sword: "Then you are my enemy of Shupaiya Gerhardt!" ”

"General, do you really think such a hasty operation can be effective?"

"Your Excellency, time waits for no one, while most of us are still sober, we must make a difference!"

"Very well, General Shupaiya, you are such a good man!"

The Lord hugged his men with open arms and said, "I was testing you just now!" In fact, I've been planning for a long time. ”

"I'm not surprised at all, Lord Wells, you are a role model for Solan's army, and you have never let us down, and if anyone can save this great kingdom, it can only be you!"

When he said this, General Shu Paya looked confident and seemed quite calm:

"There is still a big question to be solved, what if His Majesty King Louis Lafalette I is obsessed?

Crown Prince Joffrey is also fascinated by Voodoo, and his second in line, Prince Ingram, has the same interests as us, but he has been hunted down by Voodoo and fled.

When our coup d'état is successful, we will need a convincing heir to the throne to wear the crown, so as to ensure that the kingdom will not be divided, and this problem will not be resolved until it is resolved. ”
