Chapter 798: Meeting
On the night when the army of the Rulen Empire arrived in the Imperial Capital, Wang Yong was very busy, first determining the next matters with McCarthy, the commander of the Rulen Empire, and then returning to the Imperial Capital, agreeing with Bhasin on a series of matters such as the transfer of the throne to Stephanie and the transfer of imperial power.
Neither Wang Yong nor Ba Xin had experienced these things before, so the handover process of many things was not very smooth, but fortunately, neither side had other ideas, and with the consultation and efforts of the think tanks on both sides, one problem after another was solved.
In the middle of the night, when most people had already fallen asleep, white light flashed in an empty barracks behind the Imperial Palace of the Air Empire, and groups of heavily armored soldiers walked down the huge teleportation array, and then lined up in the open space next to them under the command of various officers.
Emperor Bhasin, who was standing on the palace castle, couldn't help but shake his head and sigh when he saw this scene, and the imperial military ministers who followed Bhasin were all as earthy as they were. In their opinion, if the enemy has a teleportation array and sneaks in and transports a large number of troops, then even the most defensive military fortress will not be able to resist this kind of offensive that blooms in the center and then attacks from inside and outside, but what makes these military bosses happy is that these teleportation arrays and these soldiers who seem to be very elite are their own reinforcements.
Wang Yong, who was beside Bazin, proudly accepted the greetings and flattery of the important ministers of the empire, but Wang Yong's heart was dripping with blood, because he wanted to transport troops over a long distance and in large quantities, and the consumption of magic crystals on the seashore was also quite large, if those magic crystals were converted into gold coins according to the market price, the gold coins consumed by the 20,000 horses mobilized this time were definitely an astronomical amount.
Although the Seaside Province has a very large reserve of magic crystals, and it has already mastered the method of charging magic crystals, but even so, it is absolutely impossible to fill all the magic crystals consumed this time with energy, without five or six months. Unless the size of the Shard charge is increased.
The five largest teleportation arrays were running non-stop at the same time, each time a thousand soldiers could be teleported, and with the addition of 10,000 horses and some heavy equipment, in less than an hour, 10,000 hoplites and 10,000 hoplites were assembled in the open space behind the palace castle.
When the teleportation array lights up for the last time, young Stephanie appears dressed up, along with Ryan, the top military general of the seaside province, Chris's chief of staff, Iron Mask, the head of the Black Hand Intelligence Department, and Spring and Autumn, who are sent to protect Stephanie.
Seeing Stephanie appear, Bhasin didn't talk nonsense, and first ordered the commander of the Praetorian Guard of the Imperial City to hand over the palace defense with Ryan. Then he went with a large number of important ministers of the empire to meet the future empress Stephanie.
Bhasin and Stephanie met in the council hall on the first floor of the castle, and Stephanie saw Bazin's eyes were very complicated, including all kinds of emotions, and she didn't know how to face the 'imperial uncle' in front of her, who indirectly killed her parents and imprisoned herself for many years.
These days, Stephanie consults a lot of books and miscellaneous records, and finds the year of his parents' death, as Bhasin said, there was a widespread plague in the empire, and the beginning of this plague. It is a prison for those who are honorably inhabited. Moreover, these days, Stephanie also followed Duke Sánchez to meet many of her father's 'friends', and from them it was confirmed that her parents had indeed died of the plague.
After getting this answer. Stephanie's hatred for Bhasin has faded a lot, but in her heart, she still resents Bazin to the extreme, but Stephanie has also put herself in his shoes. At that time, there was no doubt that Bhasin would be imprisoned by his father, who was competing for the throne, but Stephanie still couldn't let go of this hatred.
Stephanie walked over to Bhasin, who was standing in the doorway to greet her. After curtsimming, he said in a cold tone: "I have seen Your Majesty." Then her gaze turned away in disgust, but Stephanie's gaze swept over the crowd behind Bhasin, and then she stared blankly at a tall and sturdy young man behind Bazin, her eyes full of astonishment and shock.
Bhasin, who was a little guilty, didn't care about Stephanie's coldness, nodded with a smile, and was about to take Stephanie and his party into the conference hall, but saw Stephanie stunned in the distance, following Stephanie's gaze, Bhasin smiled slightly, stopped and silently looked at Stephanie and his eldest son Stuart, who was looking at him with a smile on his face.
Wang Yong saw Stephanie stunned on the spot, looked at the eldest prince Stuart curiously, and then stabbed the stunned Stephanie in the back and asked in a low voice, "Do you know each other?"
Wang Yong didn't know that although his small action didn't mean anything else, the other people who saw this scene looked at Wang Yong and Stephanie with great meaning, and then suddenly realized why the Seaside Lord would support Stephanie so strongly.
Stephanie came back to her senses after hearing Wang Yong's inquiry, smiled apologetically and saluted Stuart and said, "Big man, I think your identity should be very simple, right? I don't know what I should call you?" Wang Yong and the others couldn't help but be stunned when they heard Stephanie call Stuart, and they all looked at Stuart.
Stuart smiled and said, "What identity is not identity, as long as you like it, you can still call me a big guy." Let's go, big face, let's go in and talk. Hearing Stuart affectionately call Stephanie a flower-faced cat, everyone was shocked again, and Wang Yong stared at Stephanie's pretty face, looking for the freckles that were covered up in his imagination.
Stephanie gave Wang Yong a blank look, then grabbed Stuart's outstretched arm a little shyly, and followed Bhasin into the conference hall.
Entering the hall, Bhasin sat on the throne, which was flanked by three chairs of fine workmanship and beautiful style.
The eldest prince greeted Stephanie, invited Stephanie to take a seat, made a gesture of invitation to Wang Yong, and then came to Bhasin's right hand side to take a seat. Wang Yong looked at Bhasin, Stuart and Stephanie who were seated, hesitated for a moment and did not sit down with a big grin, but stood beside Stephanie in a proper manner, looking like a dutiful bodyguard.
Seeing Wang Yong standing beside Stephanie, Bazin smiled slightly and didn't say much, but clapped his hands gently, and said loudly after everyone quieted down again: "I believe you have heard about the fact that I am going to pass the throne to my niece Stephanie, and now I announce that tomorrow, I will officially abdicate, and the throne will be inherited by Stephanie, if you have any objections, you can raise them now, if not, I hope that you can continue to do things for the empire and share Stephanie's worries in the future." After speaking, his gaze swept to all the officials and nobles present. (To be continued......)
