Chapter 137: Grass on the Wall
Originally, most of the Slime family's property was in the imperial capital, but now the imperial capital has been completely destroyed, which means that the slime family has lost a large part of the family base.
Now that this relatively barren province has just been taken over, there is a lot to deal with.
Here, for example, the primitive aristocracy had their own power in their respective cities.
According to the laws of the Empire, even if these people were supposed to obey Ayr, there was no guarantee that these people would interfere with Ayr's administration.
In addition, most of the power in the province originally belonged to Viscount Instein.
That fat man did not die in the great battle of the imperial capital. Seeing this terrible situation, he fled the imperial capital early.
But now people of insight can see that Aier and kamikaze are on the same line.
Instein and the Monchi family have a great hatred, so it's likely that the former overlord across the provinces will make some small moves in the dark.
Kamikaze looked at the bright sunlight outside and asked, "What do you want me to do?"
Al thought for a moment and said, "I hope you can help us take the Slime through the most dangerous moments."
The kamikaze remained silent and did not speak.
Ayr's face was gloomy, and she said, "Of course, I can't force you. After all, now that I'm a useless person, I'm not qualified to make these demands to you."
Kamikaze nodded firmly, "Well, I promise you! However, I have one more request."
Seeing that Kamikaze agreed, Al was naturally very happy, and immediately asked, "If you have any requirements, you can tell me, as long as our family can do it, we will do our best."
Kamikaze smiled calmly, "Don't worry, my request is not complicated, as long as you can help us pay attention to the situation in the south and inform us as soon as possible."
Aier nodded and said, "Okay, we're not far from Nanyun City, and if the news arrives in time, it should take a day or two."
Kamikaze shook his head, "No, we won't be going back to Nanyun City."
"What!" Al looked shocked. "Not going back to Nanyun City? What does this mean?"
Kamikaze looked back at his old friend who had known him for decades and said, "After the outbreak of the Imperial Capital War, we can't go back."
"Now that the imperial capital has been destroyed by us, it is more true that we are colluding with outsiders, therefore, we will leave the New Delhi Empire."
The shocked expression on Ayr's face remained: "Leaving the New Delhi Empire? Where to go?"
She really couldn't think of where kamikaze and his son could go.
However, Kamikaze said helplessly, "It's not sure yet, it may be an ancient forest, or it may be a dwarven mountain range."
"Ancient forests? Dwarven Mountains?" Al frowned. "These two places, one is the territory of the ancient elemental envoys, and the other is the dwarven empire, and these two races are difficult to get along."
Kamikaze took a deep breath: "There is no way, in the eyes of all the people of the New Delhi Empire, we are already traitors and sinners of the Empire, no matter how much we explain, it is impossible to eliminate our sins, after all, Sun City has indeed been destroyed by us, and the ancient demon dragon has also been awakened by us!"
Al was shocked, because she couldn't refute Kamikaze's words, because these were facts.
"So, let's get out of this empire! For ourselves and for the whole empire of New Delhi!" When the kamikaze was over, he was ready to turn and leave.
Before leaving, Kamikaze gave Al a scroll of the Holy Light system: "If the Slime family really encounters a disaster, you can shred this scroll, and as long as I live, I will come as soon as possible."
After that, the kamikaze never looked back, and walked straight out of the hall.
Al was left alone. She sat staring at the scroll in her hand, mesmerized. After a long time, a heavy sigh was heard.
After leaving the Slime family's estate, the army continued its march north.
Only this time, I can't be with Kara.
Ace was a little disappointed. After all, I have been with her all these years.
This time, the kamikaze will lead everyone out of the New Delhi Empire. Ace didn't know to leave
When will he see Kara again.
Kamikaze naturally felt his son's loss, and couldn't help but comfort him: "We won't stay outside forever, but now that the empire is shaking, it's really not suitable for us to stay, so we can only be forced to leave."
Ace didn't say anything, just looked at the desolate scenery around him and felt empty.
This time, the kamikaze has basically determined the destination, which is the Dwarven Mountains.
The Dwarven Mountains are located in the southern part of the New Delhi Empire, to the west of the city of Southern Clouds. To the north of the Dwarven Mountains is the ancient forest, which is where the Elemental Kingdom is located.
According to his father, Kamikaze, he has many old friends in the Dwarven Kingdom, all of whom they met during the Dragon Slaying War more than a decade ago.
In the team that went this time, Ace's teacher Ari Stark was also there, and his good brother Kling was also here.
The capital of the Empire has been destroyed, and Stark has no choice but to leave there and prepare to return home.
However, Kamikaze ultimately decided to make the Dwarven Kingdom his destination, mainly because of Stark.
After all, Stark hasn't returned to the Dwarven Kingdom for more than a decade. Now his shop in the New Delhi Empire has been destroyed. Naturally, he wanted to go back and have a look.
Since Kamikaze and the others don't know where to go for the time being, Stark naturally wants them to go to their hometown.
And just like that, they headed in the direction of the Dwarven Mountains.
As you head north, the climate gets colder and colder, and the cold winds keep howling.
At this time, it is difficult to see the tall trees on both sides of the road, mainly low shrubs.
After two days of travel, the team has reached a high slope 500 meters north of Nanyun City.
Standing on a high slope, the kamikaze looked north and felt a little melancholy. After all, the remote border town is where their father and son have lived for many years. They had long regarded Nanyun City as their home.
Now passing by my own house, but I can't get in. It's really uncomfortable.
"Father, this is a thing of the past, and we shouldn't be nostalgic anymore." On the contrary, Ace seems to be more open to many things after going through ups and downs.
Kamikaze smiled bitterly and said, "After all, this is where I have lived for so many years, and now I want to go to another country, I will always be a little reluctant."
Ace said, "We haven't done anything wrong to the people of Nanyun City in recent years, so we can leave more freely."
After saying these words, Ace took the lead in turning around and headed west, without looking back.
In his opinion, Nanyun City had lost all meaning. After all, it was part of the New Delhi Empire. He wouldn't care about anything related to the New Delhi Empire now.
If there's anything New Delhi has to worry about, maybe it's just that his brothers have been living with him, Kara, and the two brothers in South Cloud City.
However, those brothers and Kara have their own homes, so they don't need to worry at all. And these two little guys are also learning casting skills with the forgers of Nanyun City, at least there won't be too many problems in life.
As a result, Ace doesn't seem to care about the empire anymore. Even if he really misses them, he can secretly find them in the future.
Looking at the back of Ace traveling west alone, Kamikaze couldn't help but sigh. He didn't know what Ace had been through in the dungeon of the courtroom, and he didn't say a word. But kamikaze knew that after these events, Ace had no expectations for the New Delhi Empire.
Sighing, the kamikaze ordered the troops to move on.
After a three-day journey, Ace and the others finally reached the borders of the New Delhi Empire.
At this time, in the barracks of the Imperial border guards not far away, many people stood there, watching this huge army marching all the way north from the capital of the Empire.
In the past few days, news of the destruction of the city of Blazing Sun and the death of the archbishop has spread throughout the New Delhi Empire, causing shock and horror throughout the empire.
Many people really don't understand how the archbishop, who was once the first powerful player on the Mandala continent, could lose to Monchi-d-kamikaze? Even many people who regard the Count as a god believe that the Count will not die and will live forever.
It is conceivable that Archbishop Count Robert has occupied such a high position in the entire New Delhi Empire in recent years. How blind and crazy the people of the empire believed in him.
Since the First World War more than a decade ago, the archbishop's prestige has spread throughout the New Delhi Empire. Even many children grew up listening to the legends of the archbishop. This education and information, instilled from an early age, deprived them of the ability to think and judge themselves, which is the root cause of the empire's eventual decline in recent years.
The arrogance of the imperial people of New Delhi also accelerated the Empire's ouster from the altar.
Why have they become so arrogant? Because they have always believed that there is a divine presence behind the empire, and that the empire will only become stronger and stronger, and it is impossible for it to decline.
When they heard the news of the archbishop's death, their first reaction was naturally disbelief.
However, they eventually had to come to terms with this fact, and their mindset gradually shifted from skeptical to panicked. If the archbishop died, would the New Delhi empire fall?
In the end, the men began to curse frantically Kamikaze and his sons, calling them shameless traitors and ungrateful villains. Some people begin to make a fuss about Ace's life experience, saying that he is a "bastard" and a "traitor" of the Elemental Envoy. There are more and more ugly remarks.
Because of this, Ace's indifference to the New Delhi Empire was even more thorough.
Ace looked coldly at the soldiers pointing at them in the distance and couldn't help but laugh.
Ignorant people are always easily confused by other people's rumors, too easily influenced by other people's words, and will just go with the flow.
In Ace's opinion, the soldiers he was pointing at at that time were ignorant people.
Soon, kamikaze them crossed the border and entered the wasteland.
Soon after Ace and the others left, the military camp on the border was suddenly condensed by a very cold gas, and everyone froze into ice, maintaining a pointing posture.
Since they like to be abusive, they should always maintain an abusive attitude! I, Ace, will not show any mercy to the New Delhi Empire from today onwards!
The Imperial City is in ruins, but the court and nobility of the Imperial City still have a lot of wealth as they also have many mineral veins.
However, they still felt very sad when the imperial city was destroyed. After all, many of their industries were originally in Sunny City.
If it is said that in the entire New Delhi Empire, who scolded Ace and his sons the most, it was naturally the nobles of these imperial capitals.
The imperial city was completely destroyed, and the palace was not spared. Now, in a relatively flat clearing outside the imperial capital, a huge king's tent stands on it.
At this time in the king's tent, Terrella sat on the central throne, and a large number of papers were piled up in front of him.
Now the capital of the empire is destroyed, the archbishop is dead, and many political affairs are left without a real supervisor. The newly appointed king will eventually begin to handle the affairs of the government on his own.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Alba-Niya, stood aside respectfully, with his head bowed, not daring to make a sound.
Terrella looked at the papers for a moment, then yawned and said to Alba, "I'm tired, why don't you read it for me for a while?"
Alba Nyaton knelt down and repeatedly begged for forgiveness, saying, "Your Majesty, I dare not express my opinion on such a national event! You need to review it yourself. Don't joke with me. I'm too cowardly."
Terrera sneered, "Cowardly? Why can't I see it? In recent years, have you done very little on your own? Do you think I don't know how many things you've done in secret?"
At this time, Alba's face turned pale and he wept and said, "Your Majesty, you can't blame me! I had no choice at all, and it was only at the secret instigation of the Robert family that I dared to carry out the order!"
"Oh? It's the Robert family. Tell me what the Robert family has made you do in recent years!" Terrera said calmly.
Alba hurriedly said, "Over the years, many officials have been appointed and promoted, all under the will of the Robert family."
"In addition, a large number of churches of the Holy Light were built in the Imperial City, and officers of the Robert family were placed in the army."
"The construction of the Imperial City Airship Lifting Platform even includes the early stage
The location was all dictated by the Robert family!"
The fat man was so excited that he began to describe everything in detail.
After listening for a long time, and seeing that Alba had not finished speaking, Terrera interrupted him impatiently.
"In your opinion, the Robert family has controlled almost all decision-making power in the empire over the years, right?" Terrera asked coldly.
Alba timidly said, "So to speak. After all, the archbishop is behind the Robert family!"
Terrella's face was cold: "Archbishop? That's all in the past. I think you should understand who's in power now."
Alba nodded as soon as possible: "Yes, yes, the archbishop is dead, and the Robert family should be punished accordingly. In the future, our New Delhi Empire will surely move towards an even more brilliant future under the leadership of His Majesty the King!"
Terrella frowned, raised her hand and motioned for Alba to say no more, "Don't compliment me anymore. Robert may like it, but I don't."
Alba smiled awkwardly and bitterly, then respectfully knelt to the side.
Now that the archbishop has died, the Robert family has been dealt a fatal blow. The supporters of Finance Minister Alba himself are the Robert family. Seeing the decline in trust, this wallhead naturally had to weigh again and choose his master again.
Terrella said to the palace guards not far away, "Go and bring Robert up!"
Soon a middle-aged man in ragged clothes walked into the king's tent barefoot, his hands and feet tightly tied with iron chains.
Under the carpet at the entrance to the king's tent, there was sharp gravel. Robert felt a sharp pain as he stepped on it.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't make any sound. Looking forward through his stray hair, Terrella was seen leaning on the throne, smiling at him.
When Robert walked to the throne, Alba saw an opportunity and kicked Robert in the wrist, causing the former to kneel in front of Tellera.
"Bold! Don't sinners kneel before Your Majesty?" Alba shouted angrily.
But Terrella pretended to say, "Minister, how can you kick him? He is a great hero of the Empire, and the military power of the Empire is in his hands!"
Alba quickly said, "Your Majesty, how can such a person control the military power of the Empire? He is a sinner who tries to usurp the power of the king!"
This time, Terrera did not refute, but looked coldly at Robert in front of him and said, "What a pity! The Great Magician who once controlled the power of the Emperor's affairs is now in such a situation, and I don't think you even expected this."
"Alas, everything he has was destroyed by Ace, and now he's just a useless man!"
Robert couldn't help but look up at Alba. His eyes were full of murder. He wanted to stand up, but he found that his feet were stepped on by Alba and he couldn't stand up at all.
Terrera smiled coldly and said:
"Don't you think that your father, as a god, died at the hands of a Templar! Do you think you can control me by using stupid women? Then you're underestimating me."
"Yes, you're right. I've been pretending and indulging in alcohol and sex all these years. In your opinion, I am a worthless and stupid prince. But if I don't, how can I escape your assassination?"
When Alba heard this, his forehead was covered with sweat, and he never thought that the newly appointed king had been hiding. When he heard the word "assassination", Alba was even more shocked. But he tried to calm down and secretly swallowed his saliva.
Terrella stared at Robert, who was kneeling in front of him, and continued, "Do you think I don't know that my second and third brothers died at the hands of your Robert family?"
"In the battle of the dragon slayer more than ten years ago, my two brothers fought together, and you secretly stabbed them, only to say that they died at the hands of the dragon. It's ridiculous. Others may believe it, but my dead old king brother and I definitely don't believe it. It's just that your Robert family has achieved great combat achievements over the years, and we can only endure it!"
Alba was soaking wet. he
I wish he wasn't here now. He knew very well that the more he knew, the more dangerous it became!
Terrilla continues to recount the crimes of the Robert family in recent years, and Alba next to him is so frightened that he can't breathe.
The Robert family officers of the regiment secretly withheld military pay and distributed supplies;
In the Empire, he exterminated dissidents and installed his own family members everywhere;
Authorize the King's Court Ministers to conduct government affairs in accordance with the wishes of the Robert family;
......
Secretly dig into the dark magic stone veins.
When he heard this, Alba was stunned and couldn't help but look up at Morton Robert, who was on his knees.
You must know that one of the "seven deadly sins" convicted of the Monchi family this time is the illegal mining of the dark magic stone vein.
Unexpectedly, the Robert family committed such a crime, which is really difficult to understand. The Robert family is a family that believes in the Light. What do they need the Dark Philosopher's Stone for?
Just when Alba was confused, Robert suddenly showed a sad smile, slowly raised his head, looked at Terrella, and said, "The former rogue prince has actually become a king. It's a big show!"
Before Terrella could speak, Alba kicked Robert in the back: "Arrogance! Before you is the King of our New Delhi Empire!"
This foot is not light, after all, the fat man's physique is there, and the weight of one foot can be imagined.
Moreover, Robert had lost all his magic, and he was kicked, and his whole body couldn't help but fall forward.
Seeing that Robert's head was about to hit the ground, he propped himself up with his hands and stopped leaning forward.
Alba snorted coldly and tried to get Robert to the ground again.
However, no matter how hard Robert tried, he would hold on and keep his head from touching the ground.
But Terrella said, "All right, go out first."
Alba breathed a sigh of relief when he heard it. He had long wanted to run away, but he didn't dare to leave without Terrella's permission.
Now that Alba has been ordered, he is still unfazed on the surface.
Just as he was about to turn away from the king's tent, Robert heard in a hoarse voice: "There used to be a dog, but after changing owners, it became more and more ferocious."
Alba Niya was furious. He had really relied on the Robert family before, and as a result, he had gained wealth and honor for the first half of his life.
But now, the big tree of the Robert family is about to fall, and Alba naturally chooses to side with the new king, Terrella.
However, this kind of two-five boy approach naturally makes many people feel disrespectful. During this time, there were also a lot of rumors about Alba. Hearing Robert's sarcasm, he naturally became angry.
Just as Alba was about to attack Robert again, Terrella stood up and said coldly, "Get out of here!"
Although his voice was not loud and his tone was not too flat, Alba, who had always been good at observing words and expressions, felt a ferocity in his voice.
He quickly turned and walked out of the king's tent without looking back. The moment he stepped out of the King's Tent, Alba felt his body relax a lot.
The atmosphere in the King's Tent was really suffocating to him. Terrella's words contained so much information that it panicked Alba.
Watching Alba leave, Terrella slowly stepped down from the throne and came to Robert's side.
"What does it feel like to be a sinner?" Terrella said, looking at Robert with a hint of a smile.
Robert did not answer, but just looked coldly at the new king.
Before that, he didn't expect that such a lustful person would be the fox who hid the deepest.
For many years, the prince was a well-known hooligan. He coveted not only young and beautiful women, but also many women with families.
