"The ceremonies of celebration, omitted, will wait until all the cities of this new empire are conquered, for now...... Use those collected swords to make me a new throne. ”

This was the first order His Majesty gave to his subjects after the destruction of the city of Shandria.

A throne made of smelting the opponent's weapons...... In fact, there is nothing surprising, although it has been rare in the past thousand years, but in the chaotic history of the previous Big 6, there are many monarchs who have done this, the throne of the sword, the throne of armor, the throne of the gun...... There are also things made of horse armor and even human bones, and there are so many things.

- And it has to be said that this time the victory of Tumenes was so brilliant that the destruction of a famous city and the destruction of a great enemy was equivalent to the destruction of a kingdom...... Such a means of celebration can be regarded as diligence and frugality.

However, before the words of praise could be uttered, everyone was stunned by the king's next words......

"It's a bit boring to be cast, but it's a bit exciting to use the simplest welding, and how high it can be stacked. ”

As the temporary capital of the new empire, the permanent elite of Stendria City has 8,000 people, but the Jin Jinhua Praetorian Guard is more than 3,000...... Knights' swords, all-metal knights' spears, war hammers, and great axes, they have enough weapons to arm three times their numbers, and the city's arsenal is stacked with weapons......

And now, all of this is here, right in front of the Duke......

Countless swords are piled up, countless blades are weaved, countless sharp edges are erected, sword blades are sharpened, sword blades are sharpened, sharp knives, sharp spears, spear edges, spear edges, and spear edges...... Heavy metal. Countless blades, towering into huge, heavy, dark, twisted creations.

A towering, ugly and asymmetrical ...... Monster.

It's more like a porcupine with all its fur on it...... No. It is a pine tree with no branches, only leaves. The nearly twenty-foot-tall back structure that almost reached the top of the hall was covered with numerous fangs, and beneath it, the bladeless two-handed swords and greatswords were inlaid into twenty-three metal steps, and at the top of the uncertain staircase there were two cold, downward-looking sights......

"The city has been cleared, and no sin has escaped...... Members of the royal family and staff of the nobility. One thousand three hundred and thirty-six men were to be hanged according to His Majesty's will, two thousand seven hundred and thirty-nine were to be sent to the northwest of the kingdom, and the rest of the thirteen thousand and fifty-seven men who had been surrendered had been escorted to the immortal camp outside the city, and five of the magical reports from all over the country were going well in six directions. ”

No reply.

The young duke could only see the countless blades flashing with cold light in front of him, and he held his breath slightly. Continue to speak: "The fortress of Victoril has not yet been taken. ”

Victoril was not a well-known military stronghold within the Empire, although it was called a fortress. But in fact, the terrain is not dangerous, and the city walls are not strong, but this place has the largest temple of the god of war in the entire empire, which is regarded as a holy place by the believers of the god of war...... Although there have been several conquests in the history of the empire, each one is no longer than a hundred years. In less than thirty or fifty years, it will be completely out of the control of the emperor. As a result, for hundreds of years, there have been very few lords in this area. It is almost in a state of church autonomy, anyway, the tax revenue of one city and one place has little impact on the emperor, and the Temple of the God of War will regularly send a group of elite warriors to the empire, and even heroes such as sword saints.

Of the hundreds of sword masters recorded in the history of the empire, one-third were born here, and about half have traveled here to study. Although there has not been a single Sword Saint in this place in recent decades, in terms of the ratio of high-ranking warriors and knights, it is at least twenty times the average number of the big 6! It has been said that everyone born in the city of Victoril, whether male or female, carries the blood of a warrior, and the difference between them and a soldier is only whether or not they hold a spear and a giant axe in their hands!

Even if the kingdom's chariot was invincible, it still had to stop its wheels in front of this city of 100,000 warriors and 5,000 priests.

"God of War...... Doesn't you seem to be going to support me?"

The king's voice came down from the seat, low and cold, as if the blade on the throne trembled and rang out: "There are always such people...... Forget it, I'll allow you to bring the mages with you...... Twice as many people can be used if needed. Deville Fortress, there is no need to exist anymore. ”

Dimon shuddered and couldn't help but feel creepy.

There is no need to exist, there is only one meaning of this sentence...... Slaughter the city.

"But ......"

In any extreme case, the slaughter of the city should not be an option for the occupiers. That may destroy the will of some of the resisters, but it will undoubtedly etch more hatred in the hearts of the opponents, forcing the enemy to resist desperately, and increasing the casualties of the soldiers in vain, not to mention that the slaughter of the city is tantamount to an open enemy of the god of war, although the gods will never easily use their power for the sake of things in the world, but just some intentions are enough to add unnecessary variables to the war.

"Didn't make me clear enough?"

"This ...... No, my majesty, your will is our destiny. The young duke bowed his head, his voice trembling. I no longer wonder how much strength it would take to destroy that city, or whether the elderly, weak, women and children would make up more than half of the 100,000 people.

"I remember, you don't seem to be married?" said the king suddenly.

"I ......" The Duke's body shook suddenly, and he opened his mouth but only a dry voice came out.

Sweat soaked his forehead in an instant!

The king's words were clearly not simply caring......

During his raid through the city, Daemon concealed the identities of two noble ladies and a noblewoman, and the twin daughters of an earl were only sixteen years old. and their stepmothers. It's just that because the marquis has some royal blood and is a descendant of Alexale, the whole family must be hanged. But for the person in charge of the clean-up operation, this is nothing.

However, this matter can be big or small.

It is difficult for the three women whose families have been wiped out to stir up any more waves, not to mention that they are already 'dead'. However, the emperor's order was to put all these people to death. Moreover, if a beautiful woman is smart enough to be able to rely on her body, the problems caused by her body will also be related to the survival of an aristocratic family!

"I ...... I was about to report this to you. ”

"Forget it. Three women only. Moreover, the front-line army has won successive battles. At least six cities are the work of the Blackhawk family, and you will need to be rewarded a long time ago," the king's voice was full of laughter, but the laughter made the duke colder and colder:

"No...... The minister has no size, thanks to the soldiers' lives, His Majesty's ......"

Damonlong suddenly felt his tongue tingle a little—and in his panic, he habitually used the tone of the nobility. But this is also something that His Majesty does not like......

Moreover, this is tantamount to denying -

"I'm not interested in blaming you," the emperor's smile did not decrease: "Give you three months, and when you enjoy it, you can change it, the empire is very big, women, not as many as you want?"

Trimester.

"By the way, it may be a little difficult to deal with those god slaves, just the mage group. Tell me my order to bring the latest batch of incendiary bombs. Then let's look at their piety. Is it really fearless of flames? ”

"This ...... Yes. ”

The name of the incendiary bomb made the duke's face pale as paper, but he did not dare to say one more word: "Yes, my majesty, your will...... It's my fate. ”

The young duke, covered in a cold sweat, saluted and retreated, his steps were vain, but he did not dare to slow down for half a minute, and the door of the hall closed behind him, leaving only the lonely Iron Throne in the silent and empty hall. and the bleak figure on it.

Until the shadow behind the throne, smeared with the sheen of space spells.

Master Benjamin stood silently. Nodding slightly. But the young man on the throne put his hand on his cheek. He squinted his eyes as if he was asleep, and only after a long time did he whisper, "What's the matter?"

"You demanded that all the explosive incendiary bombs be ...... The potions were all given to Blackhawk to be used to destroy the fortress of Victoril?" said in a deep voice.

The question went unanswered, so he continued:

"But the production of this agent is very difficult, we have not yet found good quality ore to support production, there is a lack of sufficient time and manpower, and more importantly, the high-purity oil used in it is not easy to obtain...... Moreover, the nature of this agent is particularly unstable and can easily burst...... So far, the stock has been only a few thousand pounds. If only to support the battle, then a third of the number is enough......"

"Can you completely destroy a city?"

The king's voice fell from the throne, cold and sharp.

"The explosive power of this potion is very huge, about a hundred pounds can wield a power comparable to an eight-to-nine-ring spell, as long as you grasp the method and put it in batches, there is no problem for a city, but in this way, the God of War Temple will have a backlash against it. ”

"Bounce? yes, I know. The king chuckled, opened his eyes, and slowly got up and walked down the steps, his sword at his feet meditating like a string for his words: "There is no better goal than the Temple of the God of War." The fall of a city that is supposedly God, and is protected by a high god...... It will make everyone in the entire Big 6 understand what I can do, what I will face if I resist me...... As long as the effect can be guaranteed, they will naturally make the most correct choice in the next action. So this time, I might have to trouble you to run it yourself, I want the best results. ”

The division fell silent.

Narrowing his eyes slightly, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, but it was not until the king's footsteps stepped down the last step of the staircase that he spoke:

"If you send a dozen people to raid in advance, you are fifty percent sure. "However, the premise is that it is done at night, and in addition, it is necessary to let the vanguard lift the siege for at least three days," he said. Together, the priests of the Grand Temple of Victoril Fortress can use at least one Prayer Spell, or something similar, as long as they survive half of it......"

"After the explosion, they had time to survive?"

"This potion is not completely invincible, a violent explosion requires conditions, after the explosion will burn the surrounding air and suffocate the people in place, but if you throw a second one at this time, the explosion will be very small, and you must wait for a while before you can cause a second effect of the same power. The teacher explained, "But for a priest with good ability. The spells blessed on their bodies will allow them to escape, as long as they have a magic spell that adapts to the environment. They can maintain at least eighty percent of their combat effectiveness, especially their magical abilities. ”

"But the people in the city. Even if you don't get blown up, you'll be burned to death, right?" the king chuckled, "That's enough." ”

"There's no point in just killing indiscriminately, it's the high priests who are dangerous to us. ”

"Yes, I know. The king laughed:

"Killing people is never the goal, the purpose is to let more people know about the result. Shocked by the results. So it is important to ensure that the fortress of Victoril is completely destroyed, and magnificently destroyed, and what could be more shocking than to burn it down in an instant? Dozens of people, used against one person, or will make him overwhelmed, but against a country, it is much worse. ”

He raised his hand and waved it as a farewell, and then disappeared into the hall, leaving only the teacher's face sinking like water, thinking in place.

The space circle built in the central square of Shandria is expensive, and magic materials such as Mithril alone are worth at least a million gold coins. But it's worth the price, not just connecting the Romantic city of Tuminis with the Standria in the center of the Empire. And it also turned the whole city into a huge pavilion where all locations could be connected. In an instant, the young king had entered the deepest part of the castle, a small hall that was not very large but extremely beautiful.

The room is exquisitely furnished, but it is not complicated, except for a huge Yaman harp in the center that occupies a lot of space, and at this moment, a young girl figure is sitting in front of her, gently twisting the strings. There is a ding-dong sound......

The Yaman harp is the largest of all instruments, with seventy-six basic strings and a large heart-shaped bow intricately crafted. Therefore, in addition to the noble families of the upper ranks, only a few families of luthiers will spend a lot of money to buy practice. The sound of this piano in front of me is melodious and pleasant, and it is obviously carefully carved by a craftsman. It's just that the technique of the violin strocher is extremely unskilled, intermittent, and sometimes there are mistakes.

But the Emperor stood still, as if afraid to disturb the sound, until the strings shook, and he clapped his hands softly.

"I heard, you...... Order them to kill all the Imperial nobles?"

"Not all, just those related to the royal family. And more than four generations are only sentenced to hard labor. ”

However, the empire has ruled for thousands of years, and the bloodline is deep-rooted, and in every big city, there are some nobles who are related to the emperor, and a large number of people who have no blood connection also like to fake a inheritance, and they are proud of it - this is the thousands of nobles who were hanged

But those sentenced to so-called hard labour do not necessarily escape with their lives...... The sites of hard labor are generally those inaccessible deep mountain veins, all kinds of epidemics are epidemic but there are no priests at all, shoddy mine pits are often landslided, and the labor is extremely heavy, even the strongest people will run out of oil after three or five years, these usually pampered nobles are afraid that they will die there if they can't even survive three or five days, and the hangings are actually a little more painful.

"They're just ordinary aristocrats, so they don't ......"

"Isn't it?" the king smiled and interrupted her softly: "Any trace of the emperor's bloodline may be taken out and used by those who have a heart, so it is necessary to let the entire empire know that all people, creatures, and even ghosts related to the emperor no longer exist in this world, otherwise, there will always be people in the places we occupy who will do something under their banner, and once the civilians of those empires are bewitched, it will not only be these hundreds and thousands of people who will die...... The country will lose countless farmers, craftsmen, merchants, and most of them young and prime, and my soldiers will lose nothing. For the sake of these thousands of people, and lose tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of people, I will not do this kind of thing. ”

"But you don't have to kill them, do you?"

"Yes, they are not guilty of death, they may even be innocent, but they still have to die. According to what Edward once said...... Hehehe, in this world, there are no innocent nobles. The king shook his head slightly: "Think about it, where did the nobles, who eat, wear, use, and serve, come from? Do you think that's fair?"

"But the nobles are the ones who guide and protect the commoners......," the girl said hesitantly.

"Yes, it is their duty to protect the commoners and guide the civilians, and correspondingly, it is the responsibility of the commoners to provide them with everything, so when the territory of the empire is lost, then it is the nobles of the empire who should be held the most responsible...... Everything they have is given by civilians, and the only one who can be used to be truly responsible is this life, isn't it?

The girl was stunned again. (To be continued)
