750 Davide the Usurper
Green River Valley, continuous fires, until dawn.
As Shaliye said, the "Valhalla" never entered the confines of Amphen City. Ansel and Gonzas, who were on the city wall, gradually relaxed, and finally even ordered the attendants to serve refreshments for the little girl to taste.
"Hmm......" Shaliya muttered contentedly, his cheeks bulging. On the abandoned fireground, the "Heroic Legion" has begun to evacuate in an orderly manner, and seeing Farrell's repeated beckoning, she stood up helplessly, shook her head and said, "Alas, I have to go." ”
"Greetings, sir. Ansel and Gonzhas bowed, secretly glad that they had escaped the catastrophe.
"It's a pity. Shaliya picked up a large handful of snacks before reluctantly jumping on Pegasus and taking off.
The "Valhalla" lined up in the air, and although the night was fierce, they did not suffer any casualties, and even the armor on their bodies was as good as new.
Cyprius, who was waiting in front of the phalanx, glanced at it and asked knowingly, "What did you do?"
"Shock the Anfen defenders so that they can't come to their aid," Shariya replied with a matter-of-fact reply, and then grinned, "Taste it, it's delicious." ”
She tossed the rest of the pastry over, Farrell flicked his sleeve and rolled down two honey horns, Gabriel picked up a slice of cheesecake with a stabbing sword, and the rest of the dessert flew to Cyprius.
The Grand Commander of the "Heroic Legion" snorted from his nose, and the legendary realm slammed open, whether it was coconut milk red bean cake or maple sugar puffs, all of them were suspended around him, not moving at all.
Cyprius casually took a piece, tasted it, and nodded, "It's okay." ”
"I'll just say," said Shaliyah, eager to say. "Why don't I go get some more?"
"Don't," Cyprius stopped him and diverted the subject, "didn't you go to the Herseus Valley last night, and how was it going over there?"
"It's a mess. There was no one in the valley," replied Shaliyer, "and by the way, in the north-east, there was a group of big men, and half of the collapsed cliffs had smashed into their village, and there were many dead and wounded, as I had passed. The survivors are retreating into the dense forests of the mountains overnight. ”
"Big man?" Cyprius looked at Gabriel, who should know what it was.
"The Ogre Tribe, one of the subordinate forces in the Herseus Valley," Gabriel was indeed the best choice for the intelligence spies, "where they live, some distance from the valley, it should be that they have not had time to support, or hesitate. It was affected by falling rocks. ”
"It doesn't matter, let them go. Cyprius asked no more, he looked down for a moment, and then ordered, "Go, go back to Ranken." ”
"Now that it's dawn, let's not try it. Hunt down King Nachina?" asked Gabriel, turning his head, "I'm fifty percent sure I'll be able to find him." ”
"Don't waste time on this," Cyprius said in a deep voice, looking at the southern sky. "Snowton is not the only enemy of ours. ”
"Who else?" said Shaliyer, Gabriel and Farrell, who also looked at him suspiciously.
"The news that Ariel brought back from the south, just the night before, at the same time as the change in the Herseus Valley, Buyada's 200,000 troops, through Taranto, raided the Setstian Empire, under the command of the legendary sword saint Ronero, they are unstoppable, have occupied the Minos Cape, and are rapidly advancing north......" Cyprius looked solemn, "Buyada has long broken away from the Church of Light, preaching the so-called fundamentalism, and it will be our fierce enemy in the future, so we have to guard against it." ”
"That Inedil has already squeezed out the war potential of the Principality of Ian, and for a long time, the Holy See's immediate combat power will only be us," Gabriel also suggested, "Archon, I'd better guard Rankine and think about anything else." ”
"That's what I mean," Cyprius nodded and shouted, "'Valhalla', withdraw!"

Norman City.
With his hands behind his back, Vilaneo stood in the clouds, the cold wind blowing and his clothes fluttering.
"What a mountain and river," the old magician looked into the distance, but seeing the plains and rivers for thousands of miles, he took out two things from his arms, and couldn't help but smile slightly, "I am not a greedy person, and I don't seek the unification of the north and the south, and this half of the country is enough." ”
At his feet, the capital of the Northern Empire, was waking up from its sleep, and a busy day was about to begin. The civil and military officials hurriedly went out to attend the court meeting presided over by Mordsic. After this period of rectification, the vitality of the radical aristocracy was greatly damaged, and almost all the rebels were arrested and brought to justice. Outside the south gate, a long line of hanged corpses stared at the sky with hollow eyes.
Their eyes were pecked out by scavengers.
In the process, Mordesic has shown amazing political talent. If King Nacini is crowned emperor, there is no doubt that this handsome young man will become his first prime minister.
How many aristocratic widows have thorns in their eyes, how many dream lovers of young girls with spring, and Mordschic, who was in high spirits not long ago, is full of doubts at this time, and the urgent report from the "Road of the Walker" makes him uneasy.
At this time, he did not realize that a flying disaster was hovering over Norman.
Vilano snapped his fingers at the flying star, sent out a few commands, and immediately sketched a sound transmission circle in front of him, and called out, "Davide, where have you been?"
After a moment, Davide's voice rang out, "Master, I have arrived in the north of the Vimur River. ”
"Have you ever been exposed?" asked Vilaneo again.
"Probably not," replied Davide, "I have ordered them to hide in the woods for the time being, while I am on guard at a high altitude, and have been waiting for your news for the past two days. ”
"Good work," said Biranoo, after a moment's thought, "order them to hurry up and cross the river to the south, and you will come first and join me." ”
"Are you going to do it, Master?" said Davide's eagerness.
"Exactly," Biranoo chuckled softly, "Norman City at this time is the most defense-emptied, and you and I can easily take it over if we join forces." ”
"Okay, Master, I'll be there soon!" Davide replied, no more.
The old magician could feel it clearly. A flame flew from the north, faster than lightning. Just a moment of tea, a dragon roared and stopped in front of him.
"Master, do you want to kill it?" Davide pushed away his visor, tempered by the wind and frost of this time. His face was much tougher.
"Don't worry, I have other means. Villanoo smiled slightly, and unfolded the edict written in the blood of King Nacini.
"What's that?" Davide asked, confused.
"The King's Testament. Villano O recited the incantation, and his mental power soaked the entire cloth. On it, the vermilion blood stains slowly wriggled and composed completely different contents with the same handwriting.
"Is the king dead?" Davide was dumbfounded, his face incredulous.
"Allegri colluded with the Buyadaans. Blowing up the 'Path of the Lighthopper' with a magic array, and setting up an ambush to attack the king," Vilaneo glanced at him and replied indifferently, "The king was seriously injured and died, and when he died, he issued an edict, which was passed on to Davi......de, a royal bloodline."
"This ...... It ...... "a long time before Davide came to his senses." Wide-eyed, he asked, "Is the king really dead?"
"It's both true and false. The old magician corrected, "Also, wouldn't it be more appropriate for you to call him Brother Wang, brother to death?"
"And is he dead or not?" Davide asked, in the back of his mind. There is also the fear of King Nachina.
"Not yet, but soon," replied Villanoo, "and you'll have to show a little sadness later." And then rightfully inherit the throne. ”
"Will the ministers agree?" Davide disagreed.
"You," Biranoo shook his head, hating the fact that iron is not made of steel, "you are a dragon knight, I am a legendary mage, if they don't agree, is the sword at your waist an ornament?"
"I see, Master," Davide nodded heavily, "and whoever is disobedient will cut him down." ”
"The path of the Lightwalker has been cut off, and news from the south will not come back for three or five days," continued Vilano, "and once you ascend to the throne, it will be too late for them to find out the truth." ”
"The ...... of the Imperial Army" Davide still has some concerns.
"The armies are all in the south, and they can't return to the empire, even if a few masters come, how much of a storm can they set off?" Villanoo snorted, "You and I are sitting in Norman, spreading the word throughout the country, re-recruiting the army, and after a few years, who will remember Nachinai?"
"If he returns, it is the king...... What about Brother Wang or General Cattroman?" Davide didn't want to, his head was cut off by the legendary powerhouse in his sleep.
"Nacini has fallen into my trap and can't come back, and as for Caterman, you can put Catherina under house arrest and try to blackmail him......" Villanoo thought for a moment and added, "In addition, after the matter is completed, I will set up nine magic towers in Norman City, even if I am a legendary master, it will be difficult to escape from them." ”
"That's good, that's good," Davidde said, "Master, let's go?"
"Let's go. As soon as Viranoo flicked his long sleeves, the "Star Dome" covered the whole city, and he stepped on that little starlight and walked towards the Snowton Palace.
******
The ominous premonition in my heart turned into reality.
Villanoo walked into the palace, and the light behind him was as bright as the stars.
The civil and military officials in the main hall bowed sideways one after another to express their respect. Only Mordschic, for no reason, forgot to get up to greet him.
"Master, what the hell is going on?" asked the old general Kudran in a loud voice, and the urgent news that the "Path of the Light Walkers" had been blown up caused a great deal of panic.
"Kudran, the Minister of Seals, Mordsic, and the civil and military officials," said Villano, standing in the middle of the hall, "kneeling to welcome the king's edict!"
The ministers glanced at each other, and they all knelt on the ground. Kudran gave Mordschic a pull, and the two knelt at the forefront of the hundred officials.
"I inherited the will of the previous king, vowed to unify the north and the south, with the assistance of all the ministers, the soldiers fought to the death, and swept thousands ......of miles of territory within half a year, I thought that the day of success was not far away," Bilano said with an edict, "However, the traitorous ministers made trouble, ruined the road, and colluded with the southern thieves to set up an ambush and secret attack...... I am seriously injured, it is difficult to return to my homeland, it is difficult to see my homeland, and it is said that I am of royal blood, my brother Davide Snowton...... Proclaim to the whole country, Xian makes a good hearsay, and the ministers have an edict, and they should support their positions, so that the blood of the Snowton lion will not end, and the glory will be restored in the world!"
After he finished reading, there was silence in the hall, officials, you look at me, I look at you, most people's thoughts are, is Bilanoo crazy? What is he thinking? The king is a legend, and he is protected by masters such as Cartroman and so on, even if the archbishop of the Holy See of Light, Innedir, and the Tulip Sword Saint of the Buyada Empire join forces, the king will be able to retreat with his whole body.
"Master, can you let me see this edict?" The old general Kudran didn't believe it, joke, how could something happen to the king, not long ago, he also sent a letter back saying that a grand celebration banquet would be held in the Green River Valley.
Modesic also came over, and the two of them read it three or four times, and it was indeed the king's handwriting, and it was indeed the king's seal, and it was indeed what Viranoo said. But they still found it strange, because it was too sudden, and it didn't make sense at all.
Mordschic read it again, trying to find a flaw in order to overturn the ridiculous and ridiculous edict. Then, he raised his head and asked in a clear voice, "Master, who is the traitor?"
"Count Violet, Allegri," Biranoo replied calmly, "if you have received an urgent report, then you should know that the 'Path of the Lightseeker' has been blown up, and the traces left behind are none other than the magic array from the Herseus Valley. ”
"Why, then, did he rebel?" asked Mordschic aggressively, "and the king trusts him so much, can he get more benefits by colluding with the southerners?" ”
"How do I know that," replied Villanoo, "but Allegri's rebellion was instigated by Onissa, and she had always been concerned about Anlan's annihilation, so she had been planning for a long time, and had not launched it until recently. ”
Unable to fault the slightest fault in the answer, Mordschic was silent. He is a smart man, so he reacted immediately, put himself in Onisha's shoes, and destroying the "Path of the Light Walker" is indeed the most effective way to take revenge.
"I still don't believe that something will happen to the king," said the old general Kudran, in a categorical manner, "and I refuse to accept the edict unless I see it with my own eyes." ”
"Do you want to disobey the order?" said Bilanoo, who took out the seal of the king from his bosom, held it high, and shouted, "The seal of the king is in his hand, as if the king is here!"
The ministers bowed down again, but the suspicion on their faces could not be concealed.
"The kingdom cannot be left without an owner for a day," Bilanoo ordered directly to the celebrant of ceremonies, "His Highness Davide is outside, preparing for the enthronement ceremony." ”
However, when he said his, the ministers knelt on the ground like deaf and mute, and naturally no one spoke out to accept the order.
