Volume III, Chapter XXIII
Because I have been in the army for a while, I have developed the habit of getting up early, and when no one else is getting up, the Governor begins to wander in the garden.
The morning air is really fresh, as if with a hint of sweetness, people can't help but breathe greedily. I felt the fresh smell swirl in the lobes of my lungs, and then gradually filled my brain and body, and even my body seemed to become lighter...... It was perfect!
Of course, if the Governor hadn't slept in his study last night, it would have been more perfect this morningβ, what do I suppose this for?
"Cohen!"
I turned my head to look, and it turned out to be a radiant majesty walking over.
"Good morning. I sat down on the steps and greeted him weakly.
"What's wrong with you. Fichette let the guards disperse and sit down beside me: "Who's angry early in the morning?"
"To be honest, I'm not angry when I look like this, this governor is worried about the country and the people, isn't it so great. I gave him a roll of my eyes and said in a mocking tone, "Why did you get up so early?"
"Well!" Fischette smiled sheepishly, "because I feel happy." β
I exaggeratedly folded my arms: "Oh! happiness...... I got goosebumps all over the floor. β
"What are you doing?" Fichette, who had completely recovered his mind, patted me on the head and said, "It's not me who let you sleep in the study, and it's not me who makes you hang around in armor early in the morning, it's your own fault, okay?"
"I'm jealous of you, okay?"
"Of course, hehe, you can be jealous. Fichette said in an admiring tone, "It can make you jealous." Prove that I am truly blessed. β
"Okay! I'll throw in the towel this time. I clapped my hands: "You won." β
Fichette threw his head back into the sky and laughed three times. Then he put his hand on my shoulder: "Cohen." I have to thank you. β
"Why?"
"Anything is fine, I want to say that this word is not good?" Fischette's arm tightened, "Thank you for doing a qiΔ for me, I really don't know what my life would have become without you." β
"Just keep it in mind!" I nodded, agreeing with him, "Of course, if you want to express it in the form of a gift." β
"Think beautifully. Fischette stood up and kicked me: "Get up and walk, you shouldn't sit early in the morning." β
The two of them walked side by side in the garden, talking about the war.
"If. I mean if. Fichette whispered, "What are your plans after the rebels are defeated?"
"Me. I thought for a moment: "I'll show the three cardinal priests my tricks, I'm going to ......"
"Cohen, I mean that the rebels were wiped out by us, and all the enemies were wiped out by us. Fichette interrupted me, "What will you do?"
"What am I doing? How do I know. I continued: "Or...... First of all, I should have won the right to go into the bedroom and sleep as soon as possible. β
"That's one, isn't it?"
"I want to leave the province to my father. I replied earnestly: "Then take the four of them out on a tour, I will be crazy to be a governor for too long." β
"Hehe, if your dad hears this, you'll be crazy now. Fischette smiled and said, "So, would anyone like to hear my plans?"
I nodded.
Fischette looked at me with a very sincere gaze: "That's the case, when you take four ladies to the house, can you bring two more?"
I also looked at him with a very sincere gaze: "For example...... Who?"
"Oh. You know what, Cohen, you're a smart guy. Fichette hesitated: "Those two people are ...... I. There was another lady. β
"Well, I guess it's fine. I said mysteriously, "But you pay the full fee." β
Fischette nodded slowly, "Okay Cohen, I'll talk to your father about your dreams." β
"No, the cost is half for one person. I immediately smiled at the same time: "Is this okay?"
"No, I won't get a copper plate out. Fichette said intoxicatedly, "Because of my emperor you." β
"Oh, okay Emperor XiΓ , I'll figure out how to spend it. I snorted coldly and asked, "Then Emperor XiΓ , why do you feel happy early in the morning?"
"Oh, you say that?" said Fichette with a smile, "I made an appointment with a lady yesterday to meet in this garden, and I think she'll weave a wreath or something for me." β
I shook my head, Fischette looking confused.
"I'm afraid it's going to take a while before you get this wreath. I already saw the officer escorting the convoy of Miss Nobles approaching us from a distance: "You must now go and meet some of the ladies you have invited. β
"Why do I have to go?"
"Haha, no why. I was intoxicated: "Because you are my emperor." β
The officer had already come up to us and told us that the convoy had reached the outside of the governor's palace. Although Fichette was very unhappy, he had no choice but to follow the officer.
I was in a very good mood, and I turned around with a smile, only to see five ladies with flowers glaring at me.
"Good morning!" I hurriedly put away my smile, "I know I'm handsome today, but you don't have to look at me like that." β
Kelly walked over, her gaze not friendly at all.
"Listen to me Kelly. I'm explaining, "I'm just joking with His Majesty." β
"A few days earlier was Winterhall's time to destroy His Majesty's alone time with the princess. Kelly didn't seem to want to spare me: "I didn't expect it to be you now, what's the matter, where did your majesty provoke you." β
"Kelly, please, it's just a little bit of delay. I felt so wronged: "Meeting these young ladies is originally a matter of His Majesty, and others can't help me." β
After a few more words to them, I turned and walked in the direction of the gate, and forget it, such a rare opportunity, I will change Fichette back to talk to the princess...... As I walked, I was still thinking about the front line.
But at this moment there was a terrible siren at the gate of the Doge's Palace, followed by several loud bangs - my God, Fischette should be at the gate now!
There was no hesitation. I've quickened my pace and rushed to the door.
"Sir...... Pick up the knife. "The rocks caught up with me in a few steps. With a wave of his hand, he threw the black iron knife at me.
"Go and close the gates!" I don't know what's going on. He shouted an order to the guards who ran close to him: "Inside the Governor's Palace, the Guards will gather outside the gate of the Guards!"
"Yes!"
Fichette, you must not have an accident!
When I rushed to the square in front of the Governor's Palace, I was almost completely stunned - the gate of my Governor's Palace was gone, the air was filled with smoke and dust, dozens of guards were lying in a pool of blood, and the carriages of several noble ladies next to them were only the frames, and the ground was a mess.
Horse workshop. A huge ball of white light was tumbling, and several mutilated guards were thrown out!
I'm yelling with red eyes, where is Fischet? I don't see Fischet!
Drawing out the black iron knife, I rushed forward with a wild scream, but it was like hitting an invisible wall, and my body was shocked back and fell to the ground, my hands and feet were numb, and I could barely move.
The huge ball of light began to spin and move down the road towards the gates, increasing at a faster and faster speed. Along the way, soldiers were constantly stirred into a mist of blood.
As soon as I recovered a little, my father's voice came from behind me: "What's going on!"
"I don't know. I said, "Fischette is gone." β
"Sir. A guard rushed over from a distance: "Six masked men have taken His Majesty hostage." It's going south!"
I turned around and was about to speak to my father, when the rock standing aside suddenly roared, and the war knife in my hand was thrown at me.
Almost in response of my body, I rolled over and let go of the knife, and the "whirring" of the knife passed by my ear and thrust into the head of the guard just now!
Blood splattered, and the guard fell, his sharp dagger still clenched in his hand.
This is the first time that Dark City has panicked, even when it was attacked by enemy troops in the early days of its construction, Dark City has never been so flustered.
Rapid alarm bells rang over the Dark City, and in the angry scolding of the officers, groups of rangers rushed out of the city gates, groups of winged scouts flew into the air, the Dark City Guards divided into four directions and began to pursue, and even the infantry at the training ground outside the city searched the surrounding area.
And this qiΔ is all because the new emperor of the Sibian Empire, Fichette Xia Mai XiΓ , was taken captive by unknown people!
The borders of the four provinces will be blocked in the fastest time, "no matter the cost, you must find and protect Your Majesty!"
This brief order was conveyed to every captain-level commander in the first time, and every soldier understood the severity of the matter......
But on the first day of the search by the entire army, no news came back about His Majesty the Emperor.
As for Cohen, he instinctively decided that the captives of Fischet would take the shortest route to the Holy Capital, so a regiment of guards he personally led pursued them along the road to Lisan Province.
The next day, the comatose Governor's Palace guards woke up one after another, and the Winged Scout brought Cohen a briefing on what was happening outside the gate of the Governor's Mansion at that time.
β...... His Majesty walked to the gate and began to meet the noble ladies who got off the carriage, which was normal. But in the middle of the interview, a noble lady who walked to His Majesty's side suddenly drew a short sword and put it on His Majesty's neck, and we didn't have time to react, and the young lady's coachman and maid immediately rushed up...... There are four of them in total, and their martial arts are very powerful, all four of them use swords, and they are also good at various types of magic, and the people who held His Majesty hostage directly used magic to knock off the door, and we couldn't get close to them when we were fighting......"
"Four people, only four people, and there are fifty guards at the gate......" Seeing this, Cohen crumpled the paper in his hand: "Such a powerful character, I have never heard of it before, where did Lu Man go to find this brute?"
On the night of the eighth day, exhausted by countless horses, Cohen pursued the border with his own guard regiment, and learned that a border guard had caught up with the four men who had kidnapped His Majesty.
The Border Guard is a strengthened squad with a full strength of 300 men, and the officers are all elites who have fought in vicious battles such as the Battle of Tucheng, and the soldiers are not weak.
And this guard of the Third Legion, a short encounter. Of the three hundred, less than ten remained. And all of them survived.
The leader of the squad lay on a stretcher and told Cohen what had happened to him: "...... We see Majesty. They were not four but ten, and the magic was quite powerful, and we had never seen this type of magic before, and we had never seen anyone so powerful...... But sir, we didn't disgrace you, we killed two of them, and one of them blew himself up......"
"Kill two. Cohen seemed to see hope: "What about the corpses?"
"They blasted ...... off with magic"
". Cohen cursed: "Get on the horse, keep chasing me!"
"Sir. Here are the borders. The staff officer beside Cohen grabbed him: "We can't chase anymore." β
"It doesn't matter what boundary he is, just chase it!"
"Sir, calm down, the front is no longer our territory, and if we catch up, I'm afraid it will not only be losing Your Majesty. The staff officer did not budge: "The most important task of our Guards Regiment is to protect the commander, and we will not advance any further." Sir, return to Lisan at once, where Governor Visu Al Qaeda awaits you. β
"Your head is broken?" Cohen raised his hand and slapped him, "Who are you talking to!"
The staff officer fell to the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and stood up: "Please return to Lisan City, sir." β
Cohen ignored the staff officer and directly set his eyes on the commander of the guards: "Order the pursuit!"
"I'm sorry sir. The commander of the guards said: "We have other orders. β
"Other orders?"
"Rock," the young staff officer straightened up, pulling out an order, "this is an order signed by Governor Visu Al Qaeda and the three municipal overseers. This order is for you, and you must immediately take the chief back to Lisan City!"
The rock took the order. After reading it, he stuffed it into his arms: "I carry it out." β
"Rock!" Seeing his guards surrounding him, Cohen couldn't help but get angry: "You want to rebel?"
"I'm sorry sir, your majesty is our majesty, but the chief is also our chief. The rock said expressionlessly, "We are for your good, we can't lose you again." β
As soon as the rock beckoned, more than a dozen fierce guards pounced......
Outside the holy capital, Lu Man was waiting in line with a large group of his lackeys.
Lu Man, who looked anxious, was patient, so he chatted with the people around him easily, and bursts of laughter rang out in the crowd from time to time.
Never since the rebellion began, Lu Man had never shown such an expectant expression mixed with anxiety and joy, and although his lackeys did not know who they were coming to pick up today, they all knew that something good must have happened.
As time passed, a sizable contingent appeared on the trade route in the distance.
"Are you here?" Lu Man's eyes suddenly lit up, and he beckoned to his subordinates: "Don't go and ask personally!"
A lackey hurriedly jumped on his horse, and it took him a long time to return, and when he dismounted, his face was smiling.
"Your Excellency! The lackeys danced and shouted: "We really succeeded, he was in the carriage, in the carriage!"
"Ah......" Although he knew that this was the truth, Lu Man still felt a surprise in his heart. He clasped his hands to his chest and almost burst into tears.
In this way, no matter how the battle develops, he is already invincible, and he Cohen Al has the ability to turn the world around, and he has to compromise with himself.
The other lackeys looked at each other, not knowing who the people in the carriage were, which could make Lu Man so excited.
The team was getting closer, this was the most elite cavalry under Lu Man, and several carriages in the queue stopped in front of Lu Man and the others.
A general rolled over and dismounted, striding over to Luman.
"Your Excellency. The general saluted and said, "Thanks to you, we have a safe journey." β
"Are you all right?" Lu Man stepped forward and grabbed the general's hand, and asked the person who was doing things for himself for the first time: "What about the ten people?"
"Thank you, sir, for your concern. The general glanced at the carriage: "Because there were people intercepting and killing along the way, they were killed and five seriously wounded, and the dead were dealt with, and the wounded were resting in the carriage behind." β
"Isn't it ten?"
"I just walked one off the way. The general whispered: "We can't stop him." β
"I see, it's the guy in white again! it's better for him to go away, so I don't have to look at that nasty dead face again......" Lu Man was angry when he remembered the man who had slapped him, and hurriedly ended the topic: "However, now that we have 'him', other minor troubles are nothing." β
"Yes, 'he' was in the second carriage. The general replied excitedly: "You can grab someone in the dark city and bring it out safely...... The Knights of the Temple of Light are truly the most powerful warriors! The most amazing thing is that 'he' is unharmed. But what should we call 'him'?"
"Listen up. Lu Man turned to the crowd and said in a loud voice, "Listen, you must call Fischat Shamai His Majesty whenever and wherever you are, for he is still the emperor of my Sbia Empire, the only emperor!"
As he spoke, Lu Man made a gesture, and the attendant, who had been standing by the carriage for a long time, hurriedly opened the door.
Still dressed in the same casual clothes as on the day of the captivity, Fichette Shamai stepped out of the car door, unhurriedly stepping on the stirrups and descending to the ground, slowly taking off his gloves, his face expressionless, and only scanning the crowd in front of him from left to right with his gaze.
The people standing in front of him were all courtiers who had sworn eternal allegiance to the Shamai family, and most of them bowed their heads under Fichette's fierce and mocking gaze...... For a moment, the scene was dead silent.
Left to a lackey with a secret glance - (To be continued......)
