The Storm Rises Chapter 196 Chaos, Bold Plans
"I don't understand why this is happening, but that's the result when the news comes out, mostly, I mean, at least most of the old families don't get seats in the Senate."
On the other end of the magic communication device, Charles also looked puzzled, when he first got the news, Charles found it difficult to accept, and after sharing the news with Wang Yu and Edward, he was still thinking about it.
"So the families that voted for the most have all won seats in the Senate?" Wang Yu's question was transmitted to Shire's side through the magic guide communication device.
After sorting out the message that had just been delivered by the servant of the house, Charles replied.
"Again, for the most part, I silently remembered the votes of those families, most of the families with enough votes had seats in the Senate, and only a small number of them had enough votes but did not have seats."
Wang Yu, who received Charles's answer, fell into deep thought, but it didn't make much sense.
He didn't know much about the royal city, he only knew that the noble families with seats in the Senate would greatly rise in status among the nobles.
The Senate members could also put forward their own plans on some decisions of the royal family, and if more than half of the members of the Senate held the same opinion, the royal family would probably have to follow the ideas of these nobles.
The previous Senate seats were basically occupied by the old nobles of the kingdom, and these families with ancient history and rich heritage will be much better at decision-making than those of the new nobles, and they will also be more experienced in cooperating with the royal family.
But this time, the re-election of the Senate did not follow this law at all, including the Ryder family, a family whose status was stable in Wang Yu's opinion, did not get a seat in the Senate, and he couldn't understand the current situation in Wang Cheng more and more.
"What's the reaction of the nobles now?" Wang Yu asked a more important question.
"My father didn't react, but there was indeed a great shock on the other side of the family, and those families who accidentally had seats in the Senate were naturally ecstatic, and planned to unite their allies to use the power of the Senate to develop a wave of power."
"And those old families, a few of them have not obtained the Senate meeting, and there is no movement for the time being, but according to the intelligence, they are all sending people to find people from the royal family to negotiate, and it seems that for these old families, the change of the Senate is still extremely abrupt."
"Really, I really don't understand what the royal family has been doing recently, the internal situation in the royal city is currently very chaotic, there are some conflicts between the Night Blade and the royal family, there are also conflicts between the old and new nobles, and the old and new nobles are also not very harmonious with the royal family at the moment."
"Wang Yu, you have to be careful recently, try not to get involved in any incidents, it will be very troublesome."
Charr analyzed the current situation, as the old aristocratic heir who had been in the royal city for a long time, Charles knew much more about the situation in the royal city than Wang Yu.
In the picture he saw, the current situation in Wang Cheng was a pile of knotted threads, and the chaos was extreme, and the people involved in it were likely to be caught up in it and it would be difficult to get out.
Changing from the past jump, Charles told Wang Yu to be cautious recently.
"Understood...... Wang Yu responded, put the magic communication device back in his pocket, and swept his eyes out of the window of the room, there was some noisy and noisy sound outside in his ears, it was not very chaotic, but Wang Yu had a premonition that it would soon become chaotic.
His experience at the Senate re-election meeting was a case of getting into trouble, but fortunately, the leader of the royal forbidden army was in charge of handling himself.
Uller's decision was correct and swift, so that Wang Yu just went to the great astrologer Selene for a while, and after confirming that Wang Yu was telling the truth about what he said that he had nothing to do with this matter, he was released, otherwise he might face more interrogation.
"Let's get ready to leave, we don't have any reason to stay in the royal city." Wang Yu sat back at the table and talked to Avia next to him.
"Well, I'll send a letter to my mother, and when this battle with Seventan is over, we'll leave the royal city as soon as possible." The girl grabbed Wang Yu's arm
, there was also worry in her eyes.
Wang Yu supported his chin with one hand, frowning and thinking, any action is definitely for a reason, the royal family must not be meaningless to do this, what good is it for them to turn the environment in the royal city into chaos.
Or to put it another way, chaos is the price, so what is the royal family willing to pay for it and what to do.
And is there any way to put down all this chaos quickly than to suppress all dissent by thunderous means......
"Outside of the nickname, the Arestler War Mage Regiment made a surprise attack on the position of the Seventan army a day ago, and destroyed the huge local main force with a joint spell, and the next few days will most likely be the moment of decisive battle!"
The sound of newspaper selling outside the window entered Wang Yu's ears, and Wang Yu also understood why the previous noise started, yes, bigger news, more important things, enough to give Wang Cheng a buffer time. ……
A day earlier, a procession of dozens of horses had galloped across the plains of the border between Alestret and Seventan.
The thunderous assault on Alestale's lands by Seventan a few days earlier ended in Seventan's awkward retreat, and the flamestorm of Fire Attache Blake Benn mercilessly incinerated a large number of enemy troops on the battlefield.
But it was only a temporary victory, and Seventan, with his tougher soldiers, soon found a way to counteract, making a point-to-point breakthrough on Alestaler's line in the form of an elite squad.
Alestaler's Mage Advantage is best achieved in large-scale battles without the need to consider aiming or the difference between friend and foe.
In the face of a small group of elite rushing in, it is difficult for mages to play their full role, and mass destruction spells are likely to destroy allies who are several times larger than the enemy.
Spells with too little coverage were too easy to dodge for the strong, agile and swift knights who rushed in.
So, there were not so many bells and whistles, and there were no gunsmoke and explosions, and the most brutal white-knuckle battles unfolded on this plain.
If the difference in strength is not too large, if you are surrounded by people, even the elite will be killed because you can't dodge flexibly.
It's just that these strong and ferocious Seventan soldiers will inevitably pull away several times their number of Alestre soldiers to die together before they die, and a cruel death will befall everyone equally.
The only advantage for Alestaler was that it was closer to their main barracks, and there were a breath of wounded, who were more likely to survive the battle because they were treated in time.
However, the ferocity of the Severentans once again taught Alestale's army a lesson.
This group of Sewintan elites who rushed into the army not only killed the Alestrian soldiers who were several times their size with their own greater strength, but also exploded at the moment of their death.
The pre-set necromancy was activated after the death of these Seventan soldiers, and the lifeless and powerful bodies rose again.
The undead soldiers, no longer in pain and without fear of bloodshed and wounds, began to slaughter in Alestale's army once again.
Compared to Arestler's slight discrimination against necromancy, which is considered a desecration of the dead in the eyes of ordinary people.
Seventan, a kingdom of bitter cold, is more capable of wielding the power of this spell.
In their opinion, to be dead is to be dead, there is no such thing as blaspheming the dead, and to be able to charge and kill the enemy with their comrades after death is a kind of luck and glory for the Seventans.
When the mages who arrived together used countermeasures to deal with the undead warriors of Seventan, the third method from the Seventans caused the Alestale army to suffer a terrible damage.
The body of the undead creature is driven by magic, and while it has the advantage of being able to move despite most injuries as long as the structure is still intact, it also has to face the weakness of completely losing the ability to move when the necromantic magic in the body is dispelled.
Alestaler's mages arrived and quickly brought these
Resolved by a Sevintan soldier who turned into a powerful undead warrior because of a spell buried in his body in advance.
The magic in their bodies was expelled, and these undead soldiers could only fall to the ground and remain motionless, waiting for the broken soul fire to be extinguished and completely destroyed.
But what was hidden in that soul exploded after a brief delay.
Consistent with the viscous black invisible liquid released from the daggers of the previous night raid on the camp in the Canyon of Sighs, the black viscous substance erupted from the soul fire, ignoring defenses and infiltrating into the bodies of surrounding soldiers and even mages, pouring endless fear into their souls.
A large number of soldiers died under this triple attack, and Arestler suffered heavy losses in the new battle, and even the precious mages were partially lost to the sudden burst of black matter against the soul.
Only a handful of soldiers who believed in the Lady of the Night survived the Black Substance attack, thanks to the diversion of spiritual attacks through the prayer network.
This also brought more people to the attention of the Night Lady's beliefs.
The edict from the royal city prohibiting the spread of the Night Lady's faith did not stop the soldiers, whose lives could dissipate in the next moment, from believing in the Night Lady.
The faith of the Night Lady was widespread among the soldiers.
And Alestale, who had suffered huge losses, was also preparing to take the initiative to attack Seventan for the first time since the start of the war, which was a very feasible but seemingly crazy plan.
The horses carried the Alesstrians on their backs, and the surrounding plains filled with blood and fire were filled with a large number of undead creatures.
It was evening, and these undead creatures with broken bodies made the battlefield that had been briefly paused after a brutal confrontation eerie and eerie.
Strangely, some of these undead creatures had already sensed the exuberant vitality of the running horses and the humans above.
The natural hatred of the dead for the living drove these dead soldiers into undead warriors, who gathered around the living from all directions.
But when the products of these necromancy come within a certain radius of the team that is rushing across the battlefield.
They fell to the ground in an instant, all traces of magic vanished from their bodies, and they ushered in a second death that belonged to the undead.
On top of the horses, the leader who led the way at the front glanced at the undead creatures around him, and said with these emotions in his tone.
"Seventan's magic level and the number of mages are far inferior to ours, but this method of use is indeed correct."
"Necromancer does not require the caster to have too strong strength, what affects the strength of the transformed undead creature is the strength of the deceased's body, and the battlefield is the most suitable place for necromancers."
A man dressed as a soldier who followed the leader on horseback spoke his opinion after hearing the leader's words.
"But this is an act of blasphemy against the dead, and I don't think it's right."
The leader glanced back at the young-looking Alestale, sighed vaguely, and turned his head.
"Sometimes, right or wrong is not defined in this way, and in the face of the outcome of war, it is necessary to let go of unnecessary things."
"Also, are you afraid? Whether we succeed or not, we probably won't survive."
The leader casually corrected the young man's point of view, and then threw out a question of his own.
"Don't be afraid! For the sake of our kingdom, this is a war with no way out, and today I don't face death, maybe after that I can only watch my home burn in flames, and my relatives and friends are mercilessly killed, which is what I really fear."
The young man spoke in an agitated tone and gave his own answer.
"yes, that's pretty good, Alestaler needs kids like you......
In a light tone, the leader slowed the horses slightly and approached the young man.
"Thank you, Captain, for the compliment! This is? Forehead ......"
The young man looked at him with some confusion and slowed down with a flat face
The captain approached and didn't know what he wanted to do.
Before he could react, a knife struck him in the back of the neck, and his consciousness quickly sank into darkness.
"You shouldn't have to die here yet, the future of the kingdom still needs a good guy like you......
The captain muttered to himself, placing the young man's limp body on the back of the horse he had ridden before.
Gesturing to the clever thoroughbred horse, the horse immediately turned around obediently, and carried the unconscious young man back in the direction of Alestale.
"Hmm...... It shouldn't be possible for these undead creatures to catch up with him, so we old creatures who are almost ready to die should be ready to die."
On the leader's wrinkled and gray-haired face, there was still an expression of immersion and determination, which had not changed.
And in the void above his head, there was a thing hovering, the Strange Thing, the Forest of Silence.
