Chapter 218: The Cat Legion in Action (2-in-1, Ask for Subscription!! )
Late at night, after watching the opera, Rhodes IV returned to the royal palace.
Not long ago, the Four Pillars invaded London and destroyed a corner of the palace, and this part has not been repaired until now, after all, it is the palace, and the materials and restoration must be considered comprehensively.
With the experience of the Supreme Four Pillars, the Church's control over the royal palace was tighter, and on the basis of the original two bishops stationed in the palace, three additional bishops, and even the Archbishop of Liviu, were sent to protect the king's safety.
In the hearts of the people, although the royal family cannot represent the Kingdom of Windsor, it is also the face of thousands of years, what is the difference between the king being attacked and the face of the Kingdom of Windsor?
The Church sent the Archbishop of Levius, not to spy on the king, but to protect the royal family, the church did not think that the royal family would betray them, betraying the church was equivalent to betraying the gods, and the three goddesses of fate were the umbrella of the Kingdom of Windsor
It stands to reason that Rhodes IV should have firmly supported the Church!
In the dormitory, Queen Madonna was sitting on the balcony with a tabby curly cat in her arms, sipping red wine, and when she saw Rhodes IV returning, she did not get up to greet her, and continued to pet the tabby curly cat lying on her lap, looking at the crescent moon in the hazy mist.
Queen Madonna, the biological mother of the eldest prince Charles, the second prince Shukri and the third prince Andrew, was born in the old aristocratic Bout family in Windsor.
This is a standard political marriage, the Kingdom of Windsor has complex geographical factors, roughly divided into West Island, East Island, East Island and North and South, West and South, two thousand years ago, East Island was divided into three parts, the south is the kingdom headed by the London Windsor family, the west is headed by the Howard family, and the north is the Bout family.
The Howard family is the closest to the Windsor family, the first Howard family head was born in the Windsor family, and the Howard family has always bowed to the Windsor Kingdom in the south and does not fight against the army.
The Bout family in the north is different, and the Windsor family in the south has always been at odds, and there are often frictions, until the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate came here and became the state religion of the Windsor family, and only then did they use the means of marriage to ease the relationship with the Bout family.
Later, one or two hundred years later, the heirs of the Bout family in the north withered, and after searching the family tree, they could not find a direct blood heir, while the Windsor family in the south was prosperous, and he had been married to the Bout family for many years and was related by blood.
Out of helplessness, the Bout family had to choose a prince of Windsor who was related to him as the king, but in less than half a year, the old King of Windsor announced his abdication, and the successor to the throne was the prince who went to the Bout family to be the king!
Under the impetus of the Church, the new king took over two powers, and henceforth became 'King of the United of Venerable South Britain and the Holy North'.
Since then, all the monarchs of the Windsor royal family have set their sights on the West Island next door, intending to include the West Island in the territory of the Kingdom of Windsor.
The Kingdom of Windsor did it, and with the efforts of generations of monarchs, they defeated the West Island by force, but the West Island did not obey them, especially the most powerful nobles in the West Island, the Siraldine family, who repeatedly resisted the orders of the Windsor royal family.
The Windsor royal family has wanted to get rid of the West Island family more than once, but the nobles of the West Island have long been in a group, and whoever dares to touch them will cause a large-scale rebellion, after suppressing two rebellions in a row, the Windsor royal family finally realized that they could not conquer the West Island in a short time, and finally, the Windsor royal family tried to transform the West Island subtly through reform, but at this moment, a strong leader appeared in the West Island - O'Neill Siraldine.
Under the leadership of O'Neill Siraldine, the West Island once again united against the control of the East Island, and was financed by the Kingdom of Carlos, which was known as the number one maritime power at the time, and this time, the Kingdom of Windsor had to make the choice of total conquest.
A complete war broke out between the East Island and the West Island, and a large number of heavily armed troops set foot on the land of the West Island through Belfast, marching all the way, capturing several large cities one after another, all the way south, and finally eliminating the Silardine family and the rebel forces, and completely occupying the West Island.
However, due to the scorched earth policy adopted by the royal family of Windsor, the West Island was devastated after the war, many cities were reduced to ashes, countless grains were burned, countless lands were turned into uninhabited wasteland, and civilians were killed and injured.
Although the Windsor royal family conquered the land of the West Island, it further intensified the conflict between the East Island and the West Island.
In 1845, an unprecedented famine broke out in the West Island, the crops grown in the West Island have been mainly potatoes, the potato blight has caused a sharp reduction in production, inedible, West Island had to ask the Windsor royal family for help, but the Windsor royal family was indifferent, and even gloated, allowing the famine to spread.
In just five years, the population of the West Island has shrunk by a quarter.
Five years later, in 1850, the famine returned, this time, the royal family of Windsor still did not lend a hand, and in the end, the famine raged for nine years, claiming the lives of nearly half of the people in the West Island.
Perhaps the seeds of hatred had been planted long ago, and it was only then that the madness began to grow, as one of the witnesses of the Great Famine, Ma Wei's original parents, were starved to death, and he clearly remembered the painful memories of that time, if he had not been taken in by the Crowley family, he would have died in an unknown mass grave somewhere.
The nobles and people of the West Island are all eager to overthrow the rule of the Windsor royal family, and many people do not agree with the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny, believing that the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny is an accomplice of the Windsor royal family, which is one of the reasons why Ma Wei chose to go to the West Island to establish the Church of Truth.
As for the fourth prince Arthur, his ideas were completely different from those of the Windsor royal family, he was assigned to the impoverished West Island, worked hard, greatly restored the economy that almost collapsed after the famine, based on New Ross City, radiating outward, affecting many counties, his name, Ma Wei had heard of it a long time ago.
Arthur's wisdom diluted resentment about his origins, and when they learned what he planned to do, the nobles of the West Island all vassal and swore loyalty.
As the most unpopular prince, when Arthur was assigned to the Western Island, Queen Madonna did not refute the king's order in the slightest, and did not even say a word.
Arthur didn't think there was anything about it, he never thought Madonna was his mother, there was only one mother.
Even Rhodes IV, he did not approve.
Rhodes IV, who returned to the room, took off his coat and did not look at the queen, who was sitting on the balcony drinking, lay on the bed and turned his back and closed his eyes.
In order to stabilize the regime, every few decades, a king of Windsor would marry the daughter of the Bout family, which was a standard political marriage, and the Bout family had long since merged with the Windsor royal family, the king of the Windsor kingdom, and sometimes the grandson of the head of the Bout family.
Rhodes IV's grandfather married the daughter of the Bout family, and now it is his turn, but he doesn't love Madonna, and Madonna doesn't love him.
After drinking, Queen Madonna put down her wine glass, picked up the tabby curly cat on her knees, and put it in the cradle in the room, the queen's every move represents the Windsor royal family, on behalf of the Bout family, and the sacrifice is no different, it is impossible to run out to have fun like an ordinary woman, in order to relieve loneliness, Queen Madonna has a cat named Rex.
In the dead of night, when the king and queen were resting, Rex came to his senses, running up and down the room with a toy in his mouth, his soft pads on the carpet without making a sound, jumping on the cradle, sometimes on the bed, sniffing the Madonna's hair, and occasionally stopping at the window and looking up at the moon.
At the same time, the roof of the royal palace.
"Boss, don't forget it tonight."
Friday squatted on the edge of the eaves, looking down at the palace guards patrolling below, and felt a little frightened.
You know, the place where they are located is the royal palace, the most important place in a kingdom, and the king lives here!
Once discovered, you must not be crucified!
Friday Passion?
The thought of that image made Friday's four legs tremble.
"Boss, why don't you call Xiaomei, it's much more powerful than me"
Fat Orange, who was squatting behind Friday, squinted over: "Let your wife perform tasks for you, you are really a good cat with responsibility." ”
"If you don't let Big Brother Little Black come, it's okay to have a scarface and big spots!" Friday is still a little unrelenting.
"If I let you go, you have to go." Fat Orange raised his paw and said coldly: "You don't want to be decent, I'll help you be decent." ”
"Don't, don't!"
Friday was taken aback: "I'll go!" I can't go! ”
"Less nonsense! It's just to persuade a domestic cat, what so many plays! ”
Fat Tangerine flew up with a kick and kicked Friday off the eaves directly, with the blessing of the goddess, Friday, this height is not a threat, turning one hundred and eighty degrees in the air, four claws to the ground, shaking his head, making a 'woo' sound in his throat, and lightning rushed into the trees.
After a while, two cat meows were heard in the bushes.
In the king's bedroom, Rex, the tabby curly-haired cat, squatted in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, his ears suddenly pricked up, as if he heard the cry of his kind, and hurriedly wandered around the room, looking for an exit.
The cat's meow in the courtyard grew louder and louder, and Rex became more and more anxious, until at last, he jumped up, hung on the doorknob, and opened the door with the strength of his body.
Click
No sooner had the door opened than Rex squeezed out, weaving through the dark hallways, searching for the source of the sound.
The moonlight was like silver, the light and shadow were intertwined, and Rex, who was shuttling through the labyrinth-like corridor, came to the courtyard, and happened to hear Friday's voice in the grass:
"Everyone! What is the meaning of the existence of cats? I thought that domestic cats were domestic cats because they needed to take on responsibilities that wild cats couldn't! For example, coaxing the owner to be happy! ”
Rex walked through the trees to the clearing among the leaves, and found a blue cat crouched on a stone with a glass bottle hanging from his neck, and was talking about it, surrounded by many cats raised by the palace.
"It's tiring to be a cat!" Friday exclaimed: "What are we going to do when the owner who went out hunting comes home and sometimes returns empty-handed?" Greet them, of course! We have to give full play to our charm, even if we are a cold cat on weekdays, we must put down our dignity and face, and stick to the owner! Why? It's because we want to soothe the fragile heart of our master! ”
"Meow!"
The cats gathered around each other let out a cry of approval, and even Rex couldn't help but nod.
"Not only do we have to soothe our wounded masters, but we also have to patrol the territory while the master is away, protect our homes, and fight enemies who invade the territory at any time!" Friday rightly said, "It's risking your life!" ”
"Meow!"
"But the owner had no idea what we were paying for! Thought we had slept all day at home! ”
"Meow!"
The cats chimed in, their cries getting louder and louder, and it was clear that Friday's speech had touched their hearts.
Seeing that his speech was so demagoguery, Friday showed a treacherous smile, thinking that what Big Brother Xiaohei said was not wrong at all, these house cats are really easy to fool!
First win recognition, and then know how to reason with emotion, beat a stick to a sweet date, and tempt it with food
Friday didn't realize that this was how Blackie had dealt with him in the first place.
"But what can we do?"
Friday sighed, showing a look of emotional loss: "A stupid master is a stupid master, no matter how stupid they are, we still have to take care of them!" ”
The cats lowered their heads one after another, and they also looked helpless.
"But!"
Friday's voice made the cats raise their heads again: "We cats also want to relax!" We cats also need to rest! We are not slaves! We are cats with dignity and a feline character! Not a tool to catch mice! ”
"Meow !!"
"The master who doesn't know how much we pay is a fool!"
"Meow !!"
"The owner needs the protection of the cat when he goes to the toilet!"
"Meow !!"
"The owner can be in danger at any time while sleeping! It's our cats who don't sleep to protect them! ”
"Meow !!"
"Cats have to stand up, too!"
"Meow?"
The cat who was just about to shout and echo suddenly felt that the taste was wrong, tilted his head, and looked at Friday suspiciously, and Friday also reacted: "I'm sorry to string the cat, it's amazing!" Long live the cats! ”
"Meow !!"
"In order to praise you, I have specially prepared good things for you"
Seeing that the time was ripe, Friday hooked the small rope around his neck, removed the glass bottle, bit the cork, and rolled the glass bottle to the ground.
Gollum.
The catnip, which was packed in a bottle and dried and crumpled, immediately fell on the lawn, and the cats took a step back in unison, not daring to move forward.
"It's a good thing, smell it, it will make you flutter"
Under the bewitchment of Friday, a bold cat stepped forward and sniffed the catnip ball, and suddenly, the muscles of the whole body tensed, and his eyes widened in shock, and soon relaxed again, or a puddle of mud fell to the ground, revealing a soft belly, and rubbing the catnip ball wildly, wanting to stop.
The first cat to try the catnip ball was Rex, and at this moment, it has completely lost its previous reserve and has become a 'slave' of catnip.
Under its leadership, more and more cats felt the charm of catnip balls, and for a while, the lawn was full of overturned cats, like a large-scale drug scene.
"Suck it, suck it"
Friday looked at this scene with a smile: "No money on the first day, and then you have to become a member of the Cat Legion to enjoy the privilege of buying mint balls."
