Chapter 73: Barbarian Invasion (Part II)

Emperor Louis Bird propped his head on one hand and read the urgent letter from the messenger. His eyes narrowed into slits, and the moment he got the letter, his fingers couldn't help but tremble. The servant was on the side, looking anxiously at his emperor's appearance. He shouldn't have done that...... Something big must have happened...... However, how do these little servants know what is really going on? They could only serve tea and pour water for the emperor seriously, and they didn't even dare to ask a word. For fear that the emperor would be furious in the next second, he would slap the table and rise.

"Nord has thirty armored warships, how can he let the barbarians sneak attack and land smoothly? Since the establishment of the Empire, such a thing has never happened!"

The emperor clutched the letter and cursed, his face unconcealed with anger.

"Nosca passed through the ocean currents and drifted to the north shore of the Nord territory in three days. ”

The messenger replied breathlessly, trembling at the same time, for fear that he had made a mistake and annoyed the Emperor. Although, strictly speaking, the emperor did not have the power to dispose of him. Even if it is to be disposed of, it must be through the Elector of the Nord Collar.

"It seems that Rod said that ......"

Louis Bird sighed under his breath.

He should have thought that Kislev, as a border kingdom, was adjacent to Nosca, and no one was more familiar with Nosca. And Rod, as the Great Lord of the Northern Realm of Kislev, must know more about the situation in Noscar than the other Lady of Kislev.

Emperor Louis Bird believed it, and he knew that the other candidates should believe it, but out of interest, everyone shirked each other's responsibilities, so even if they believed, no one would come forward. This invasion was taken by surprise rather than the chaos within the empire that allowed the barbarians to take advantage of it. This reminded the emperor of Rhodes' words again. In the last days, the greatest enemy is not external, but internal...... The greatest chaos is not outside, but inside the empire, corruption and chaos are like a lurking plague that breeds in dark corners.

Even more terrible news came a week later—the Norscans had arrived at Fort Marion. At this time, Rick's army was still gathering...... Although Marienburg is no longer part of the Empire. However, once a part of the empire, with deep historical roots, it is unreasonable to let it go. What's more, Marienburg was located on the lower reaches of the Rick River, and once conquered by the Norscans, the next target for these barbarians was the imperial capital of Aldolph.

Louis Bird knew that with the strength of the barbarians, he could not attack Aldolph for the time being. Rick's navy can smash their boats across wide rivers. But once the barbarians break through Marienburg, it will inevitably form a strong deterrent to the inhabitants of Aldolph, and even the entire inhabitants of Rick's Territory. In the human world, the most terrifying thing is not how strong the enemy is, but panic. Panic drives emotions, and once that mood forms a trend, it can crush even the strongest warriors. This is one of the reasons why Rick Collar must support Marienburg.

......

Dennis sat in the jeweled hall, dealt with the rape of commoners by nobles, and arrested a bunch of corrupt officials behind the scenes, which was very happy. However, a deep sense of exhaustion pierced Dennis's heart. She knew very well that there were many such things, such officials, and such nobles in the territory of Kislev. If you investigate a case thoroughly, you will offend a lot of people, so what if something like this happens next time? She can't do it herself every time, right? In the end, she will offend all the nobles of Kislev?

The power of money, the power of power, weighs like a mountain on the heads of the people of Kislev, and Dennis himself cannot shake it. Before she became queen, she felt that reform was simple and that the world could become a better place under her own rule. However, the reality is that the rotten system and deep-rooted social contradictions make reform difficult.

Exhaustion welled up in his heart, and Dennis sat on a tall red carpet chair with his head propped up in one hand. She's tired, really tired. And there is not even someone to rely on. My father has long since left a foreign land. At this time, he was either blindly involved in other people's affairs in the territory of the empire, or in the territory of Nosca, he continued to fight against the barbarians...... As far back as I can remember, he spent almost all of his time in battle......

Dennis closed her eyes, and she remembered Boris again. The man who made her think about it day and night. Powerful people can get the people they like, but as a queen, they can't get the people they want...... I have to say, this is really fate. What if I wasn't the queen? Maybe it would be much better...... But the god of fate allowed her to meet Pavel first and then Boris...... Commoners and nobles can still divorce to get the person they want, but can the queen?

Thinking of this, Dennis couldn't help but shed tears of pain. Simple love is luxury, and she can only sit in the cold palace and think about it alone. Bibi eBook

But why don't you call Boris anymore? She has that power...... Isn't it?

But does Boris really miss me? If he does, why doesn't he come himself? He has 10,000 reasons to come...... But he didn't come...... Could it be that he's just toying with me?

She sat there silently, tormented repeatedly. Finally, she asked the maid to go and summoned Boris Boca to the palace. Goodbye to him...... Even if it's just looking at it...... Dennis thought......

A few hours later, the queen's personal maid finally arrived. It's just that, from that gloomy face, Dennis has read the answer she wants......

"Won't he come?"

The queen's voice was low and hoarse. Her heart was like a bolt from the blue. A heavy sense of loss came over her, making her feel hopeless. It's unbearable weight. The queen slumped in her seat, holding on to a gem-encrusted gold armrest with one hand.

"What's the matter with him?"

The queen then asked.

"Nope. ”

The maid whispered back.

There is no reason for this...... Dennis asked himself inwardly. But she didn't get an answer. She is not a roundworm in Boris's stomach, does not know mind reading, and has no idea what this man is thinking. Everyone says that a woman's heart is a needle, however, Boris's heart ...... Dennis had no way of knowing.

Didn't he want to go on like this? Dennis suddenly realized the problem......

That's right, it should be like this.

But......

She was really reluctant......

The queen's heart struggled repeatedly, and she mustered up the courage to go out of the palace to see him, but ...... But the dark palace and the long road made her lose her last courage......
