Chapter 138: City of Thorns
Under the leadership of the honor guard, the speed of the Kotler Empire's mission on the next road has been greatly improved, and after walking for nearly twenty days, Thorn City is finally in sight.
It was late autumn, the wind had become cold, the road out of the merchant's convoy, almost no other pedestrians, an autumn rain had just stopped, the wet cold air was pervasive, people had to sigh that the cold of late autumn was pressing, but this cold weather still could not stop the footsteps of the two legions, after playing the banner of the royal mission, all the people on the official road got out of the way, one was the inviolability of the emperor, and the other was that they stopped to see what the regent from the Kotler Empire was like, as for what the other plans were, I am afraid it is unknown。
The ghost ugly lifted the curtain of the carriage, and the ghost mask was revealed to many passers-by couldn't help but speak, it was rumored that the regent was extremely ugly, so he had to use a mask to cover his face, but he didn't expect that even this mask was the same, it was really surprising, for a while there were discussions on both sides of the road, but the noisy sound was quickly taken back, behind the carriage, there were teams of soldiers tied with gauze, some serious ones even had limbs missing, isn't this a mission, how can it be so embarrassed?
As these questions arose, the crowd began to have different answers, and soon the well-informed people understood everything, and in their eyes, there was some respect for the arrival of this mission, at least, the previous hostility had disappeared.
"It seems that everyone knows that the army led by you has solved a big problem for the Binis Empire, and the eyes look at you differently, don't you enjoy this feeling of being in the limelight?" Yinyue put her hand on the waist of the ghost ugly with bad intentions, and the ghost ugly immediately lowered the curtain, took off the mask, and said with a pleading face: "Princess, spare the villain." Yinyue hugged her arms and snorted softly, and the ghost secretly sighed, now that he is the regent representing the Kotler Empire, he can't accompany this elf princess to make trouble any longer.
After a period of good words and persuasion, the ghost ugly dared to open the window to look at the outside scenery, but when he looked up, he could only see the mottled but vigorous city wall, the black city wall could not be seen at a glance, but what made the ghost ugly care most was the mottled blood on the wall, as well as the weak but unignorable bloody atmosphere, the silver moon in the carriage also felt this unusual atmosphere, frowned but was stopped by the ghost, and then the two teams came to the city gate, the ghost ugly dismounted, and when he looked up, he found that there was a huge dent on the city gate, as well as burn marks that could not be concealed, and looked at the eyes of the soldiers on both sides of the surrounding area There is still a killing intent in the eyes of the soldiers, Ghost Ugly has a certain understanding of the city in front of him.
"This time, things are going to be very easy. After the ghost ugly said such an inconsequential word, the carriage Yinyue and Ruth were stunned, but he obviously didn't want to say anything, and the two girls didn't delve into it, after the team drove into the city of thorns, the first thing they saw after passing the city gate were two huge sculptures that were a little shorter than the city wall, and the foundation of this sculpture was also part of the city wall, and there were countless black spots all over it, but the two sculptures were still intact, two knights in armor put one hand on the handle of the giant sword, and the other put the spear up, looking into the distance with a solemn face, looking up from under the city wall, it invisibly added a sense of oppression to people, The ghost and ugly paid attention to the foundation part of these two sculptures, the same as the city wall outside the city, the same bloodstained, dry and no one took care of it, it seems that the owner of this thorn city has not taken care of these, or he is deliberate.
Whether it is the former or the latter, for the ghost, the result is the same, the ghost ugly continues to move forward, a thin but extremely capable soldier wins, the ghost ugly did not remember his name, as if he did not hear his words, his eyes unconsciously fell on the corner of the welcoming crowd next to him, the soldier who was responsible for greeting was a little embarrassed, but his status was much lower than that of the ghost, the Benz Empire was still in turmoil, the vacancies in the government and the opposition had not been filled, and there was no way to send him over, at least the princes of the empire did not dare to come forward now, and the prime minister and marshal of the empire were also imprisoned for colluding with the temple, on the table, he is the highest officer of the staff department, and he is already very brave compared to those princes who are shrunken turtles.
The ghost's attention still hasn't changed, and even he stopped directly, he stopped, and the people around him didn't expect it, but the ghost only paused for a moment and then began to continue walking towards the palace under the guidance of the leading official, as for the gestures he made behind his back, naturally no one saw it.
Because it is a knight empire, Thorn City is half larger than the holy capital, they entered the city from the west gate, walked for nearly an hour, and actually haven't finished walking, the main street has regained its vitality, people are blocked on both sides of the road, only leaving room for passage, but it is also full of people, the troops behind the ghost ugly have been arranged separately, as for him himself, no one dares to come up and say anything, so the ghost ugly has been walking from the west gate to the gate of the palace, the closer to the palace, the bloody atmosphere began to fade more and more, to the gate of the palace, the ghost ugly frowned, the bloody gas has disappeared, replaced by a single smell of paint, look up, but saw that the two gates had been painted vermilion, it was simple to do so, and the ghost ugly didn't say much, the soldiers on both sides pushed the gate open, and the ghost and ugly walked in without the slightest pause.
The palace of the Binis Empire is different from the twists and turns of the Holy Capital, looking up, it is all paved with cyan stones, the length is more than 100 meters, and the width is not less than 50, this kind of place, even the cavalry battle can be realized, the Knight Empire is indeed true, the empty square is raised back in a slightly inclined way, so that invisibly, it consumes a lot of strength, although the war horse may not feel it, but people walk on it, especially if they have to walk for such a long time, it is a little tormenting.
The ghost ugly is not afraid to go, after the red carpet he looked left and right, as if he was in his own home, without the slightest restraint and seriousness, and even he restrained the whistle he was about to blow, and in front of the ghost ugly was two rows of crossed knight spears, every step forward, the soldier with the gun would put away the spear, and then stood between his eyes, his expression was serious, like a sculpture, walking through the red carpet, but in front of him was endless steps, the ghost frowned slightly, and then sneered and said:" No wonder Binis is a knight empire, this step is inevitably too difficult for this king. The person who took the lead opened his mouth but did not know how to proceed, but then he saw that the ghost walked up with his feet up, and this step was already in the middle of the steps, and when he took another step, he was already standing on the top of the steps.
"This ......" Everyone was dumbfounded, even Yinyue who followed next to her was the same, originally hearing the ghost ugly's complaint, she still wanted to whisper a few words, but she hadn't opened her mouth yet, the ghost ugly had already reached the top of the steps, the most surprising thing for Yinyue was that he didn't use magic, but did this with just one footwork, and this footwork is exactly the same as the elf footwork in the secret forest, but even Yinyue is not sure that she can do this, the ghost ugly body is so strong, Yinyue has long known that she has experienced so many things, and this lover of her is known to have been tempered out of the deep mountains, although she doesn't understand what this means, But the strong physical recovery ability is obvious to all, and often after recovering from injury, it can go to a higher level, these two steps of the ghost and ugliness mean that he has completely recovered, and he complained and climbed to the top in two steps, this time it depends on how the Binis Empire copes, Yinyue is secretly worried, so out of line, I am afraid that the king of the Binis Empire will not let go of the ghost and ugly easily.
Unexpectedly, after the ghost ugly reached the top, there was a hearty laughter in the deep hall, and several ups and downs of the silver moon had already arrived at the ghost ugly, as for the other officials of the Binness Empire, their speed was even faster than the silver moon, looking back at the main hall, the ghost ugly raised his hand slightly to support the silver moon, and the two entered the main hall together, in the main hall, but there was only a huge figure sitting on the throne in the distance, the lights were bright, but the ghost ugly still couldn't see the face of the person on the throne, and after getting closer, the ghost ugly was suddenly stunned, and almost subconsciously called out the name of his senior brother。
The emperor in front of him has an unusual obesity, and the throne is already very wide, but under his figure, it actually seems a little narrow, like a spherical body with a spherical head, with a simple crown on it, and everything else is covered under the yellow robe, after the ghost ugly and the silver moon saluted separately, they looked around and found that there was indeed no one else in this hall, and there were only three people in the empty hall, which made the ghost ugly feel a little surprised.
"Come on, set up a seat for His Royal Highness the Regent of the Kotler Empire. The person on the throne spoke loudly, without the slightest trill, and without a superfluous tone, so neat and neat that it was easy to misunderstand, such a huge person, how could he still speak like this, it was a little unexpected. A sentence resounded back and forth in the main hall, and soon two guards rushed in outside, and then moved chairs for Ghost Ugly and Yinyue to sit down, and after the salute was over, the two of them sat down.
"Your Royal Highness the Ghost Ugly, this king heard that your country is rectifying the rule of officials, pacifying the whole empire, and all kinds of waste are waiting to be rebuilt, I don't know how to compare to my Nice Empire?" The person on the throne asked leisurely, and opened his mouth directly to make the ghost ugly even more surprised, and after thinking for a while, the ghost ugly said: "The empire is initially stable, and the place that needs to be improved is beyond the reach of a hundred ways, fortunately, the pillars of the empire are abundant, and there is finally a good harvest this year, and I first arrived in your country, and I don't know much about the situation, so I don't make too many comparisons." "Ghost Ugly understands the other party's straightforwardness, but he is not the king of the empire after all, and he is always inferior in the face of the leaders of other great powers with the same national strength.
"If this king keeps you, what will happen to the Kotler Empire?"
