329: Estes returns
Time, two weeks have passed.
Forty days have passed, and with the convenience of his identity, Altaïr has gathered enough information to take complete control of the empire.
"To be honest, it's simpler than I imagined, a thousand-year-old empire, there is not even a person who can compete with me, in the end, it's just rotten to the point that it makes me sick, which is a little disappointing."
Altaïr smiled happily.
Maybe it's because all the beings with a little wisdom have been persecuted by the minister.
Therefore, in the course of the operation, it is surprising that it simply went smoothly.
She was even a little incredulous, making her wonder if there was a more powerful existence who manipulated everything behind the scenes and gave her the green light all the way to control the empire so quickly.
But after thinking about it, I felt that I was too neurotic.
If there really is such a mysterious existence, it is impossible to leave clues in the process of controlling the empire, but Altai did not find it, and based on her confidence in the strategy, she believes that even Liz will not be able to do it so perfectly.
"Originally, I thought that the minister would cause some obstacles······ I really think so highly of him, but he is just a fat pig who acts for pleasure and profit, and with a little inducement, he will obediently act according to my wishes, and he can see through the waste at a glance. ”
Stopping her thoughts, she lay motionless on the chair like a dead fish.
On the wall of the north gate of the imperial capital, when he was on duty, he was lying on a chair in the open, lazy like a salted fish?
It is very different from the image of the previous generals.
Even if it was a change, it would be too fast.
Of course, this gesture is for the minister's to see, but in the guards guarding the city, there is the minister's eyeliner, and it is precisely because of these eyeliner that Altair's actions are more convenient, and the manipulation of the minister's thinking can be perfect.
"Now, that fat pig should be in the palace, worrying about making Xiaoya happy."
Thinking of Akino Ya recently, she really believed in her plan, she could do whatever she wanted, she didn't care about the things of the empire, and the minister's words were directly ignored, and the whole person turned into a pure-blooded salted fish essence, and she couldn't help but feel funny.
It's really too salty, and after eating at a fixed point every day, I will find a place with the sun to sleep on my stomach, and I don't care if anyone comes.
She even suspected that if it weren't for the need to eat to maintain her body functions, Akino Masaya would have been able to sleep until the world was destroyed.
Even Altaïr himself did not expect that someone could salt fish to such an extent.
"The way of salted fish, I would like to call that little girl the strongest."
A short time later, a guard came running and respectfully handed over the information.
"Oh? Is it finally starting to make a fuss? The movement is bigger than I expected, but it's okay, the bigger the noise, the more beneficial it will be for me, it's best to know it all over the city, look at his speed, it's almost to the imperial capital in three days, and you have to prepare as soon as possible. ”
As he spoke, he got up and looked at the army coming in the distance outside the city walls.
Of course, it's not the enemy army or anything, but the Imperial Army that has returned from the expedition, and the leader of the army - Estes.
In fact, the expeditionary force was stationed outside the imperial capital, but now in such a panicked situation, the army returning from victory must of course enter the city with great fanfare, first, to show the power of the empire to calm the people's hearts, and second, to deter some peeping Xiaoxiao.
After a while, the army reached the city gates, Altair said loudly.
"Congratulations, General Estes, you have returned victoriously once again and made immortal contributions to the Empire, then, please go with me to your Majesty now, as for your army... Presumably, the soldiers are also tired, so hurry back to the barracks and rest, and someone will go to comfort later. ”
Estes grabbed his horse and waved his hand to stop his soldiers.
The army of 100,000 people saw Estes's gesture and stamped their feet in unison, stopping almost at the same time.
Neat and stunning.
It is already possible to peek at the quality of this group of soldiers.
Altair's eyes flashed with appreciation, although the empire is decaying, there are few twists and turns in the army, and the soldiers in this expeditionary force are even more difficult to be infected by the will of the minister.
Of course, there must be scumbags in it, inevitably, but most of them, still possess the qualities of being soldiers.
"However, there are rumors about Estes······ Super S Queen······"
In an army, soldiers are easily influenced by generals.
Just like the alliance army back then, the brave army led by Bai Hua himself was indomitable and invincible.
The legions under the command of the First Marshal all forgot to die, and they had to drag the enemy with them.
The regiment under the command of the Second Marshal was extremely cautious in style and never fought uncertain battles.
Her Legion······
Well, it's all a bunch of fanatics, madmen.
"I'm not in the mood all of a sudden, hey, when I think of those bastards, I feel so undignified." Altaïr spit with a dark face, then looked at the army below.
And Estes also raised his head at this moment.
"What does General Grand mean by this, the order I received at the beginning was to lead a large army into the city, is it possible that the general wants to stop us here?"
"Humph! You and I are both imperial generals, everything should follow the will of His Majesty, and now, it is just to inform you that you will enter the city alone, what, is it that General Estes is relying on the power of the army, and he can't resist the order? ”
"How so."
Estes sank his face, looked at the army behind him, pondered for a moment, and waved his hand to order.
"Liva, let's go and rest with the army first, I'll go to the palace for a trip and I'll be back soon."
"But, my lord, that guy obviously wants to ······"
"Shut up, it's my business." Estes's face changed, and he scolded sharply.
However, it was already too late.
In the next moment, the city wall exploded with a "bang", and the silver-white figure shot out in an instant, and a saber was already on Liva's neck.
"Well, the Three Beasts? I've heard that it's General Estes's right-hand man, but now that I've seen it, that's all, it's an exaggeration. ”
Standing firmly on the back of the horse where Estes was sitting, Altaïr looked at the three lieutenants beside him, a look of disdain.
"It seems that General Estes is still powerful, and he actually led these three wastes to defeat the alien races in the north, and his ability is not small."
A person who holds a knife on the neck of his own adjutant and constantly belittles himself?
This situation has never been seen before, which made Estes slightly stunned, and at the same time recognized Altaïr again.
She and Altai are both known as the strongest in the Empire, and she doesn't know who is more powerful.
But thinking about it, it's half a catty, and even if she has the confidence to give her a little more time, she can defeat Altair head-on and take the position of the general.
Can ······ now
Strong, too strong!
I don't think I'm going to lose, but I can't surpass the other party in a short period of time.
"It's really... That's great. ”
This is the first time in a few years that Estes has raised his fighting spirit and wants to surpass a certain goal.
