Chapter 142: The Feast
Since the envoy of the Kotler Empire, the regent Ghost Clown, came to the city of thorns, it was only ten days, and the people in the city found that the city of thorns seemed to be alive, and the legions stationed outside the city began to enter the city in batches, knocking down all the damaged houses in the war, and then leaving aside the bricks and stones that could be used, and the rest were transported out, for a while, the road connecting the city gate was all dusty, and then these knights who were originally high in the sky began to use their own strength to build houses, and the drawings had already been handed down, and these soldiers only had to participate in the construction of houses twice, basically he could command the other soldiers to build the house, so many houses with the same appearance sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and this kind of major renovation and rebuilding even covered the slums.
When several legion soldiers have understood the way the house is built, there are announcements on the streets and alleys, as long as you have the strength, you can participate, the wages are very generous, in the face of such an announcement, the people naturally do not know what they mean, thinking that they are catching strong men, but there is an official at each gathering point who is patiently explaining, someone signed up at that time, and then the next day the labor got the salary, seeing that someone succeeded, the enthusiasm of the people was naturally much higher, and more and more migrant workers began to be registered, and in the end even because of the queue and disputes, in order to control the situation, even dispatched the army。
And within the high walls of the palace, King Arthur listened to the reports of his officials in his study, and said with a blank face: "In other words, in these ten days, you have solved the problem of counting the population? If this king remembers correctly, you said three months." The official lowered his head in shame, this order was issued directly from the emperor, and at that time, many officials, including many generals, jumped out to oppose it, and it is understandable to send additional patrols, after all, the security of Thorn City has indeed been a lot worse recently, but how can a noble army be used for things like building houses for the poor people and cleaning the streets, in the Binis Empire, where military affairs are supreme, this is an insult to the soldiers.
But King Arthur ordered the officials to be imprisoned on the spot, and then the decree was issued, with a natural surprise.
The bloody atmosphere in Thorn City disappeared in just ten days, except for the main road, almost all the streets and alleys were cleaned up, and there was no dirty mess when you walked there, after the additional patrols, the night crime rate in Thorn City almost plummeted, and the door of the City Defense Department changed from a gate to a door in a few days almost in a few days, which was naturally the officials of the City Defense Department, and they had enough time to clean up all kinds of post-war traces on the city wall, and the entire Thorn City began.
"Yes, Your Majesty, please forgive your foolishness!"
The heavy rain stopped, but it was already dawn, the war horses neighed, the voices of the people were boiling, the legion responsible for welcoming the mission put away the facilities inside and outside the camp, and sent people to inform, but just out of the camp, they saw two people fainting in the mud outside the camp, the person who reported was shocked, and went forward to visit but found that the two people were just unconscious, and then looked forward, it was actually all the sentries were knocked unconscious, knowing that something was wrong, the person in charge of the report directly took people directly to the camp where the regent was, but the scene he saw was the same as expected, and the camp was empty。
"What about people?"
"My lord, last night's rainstorm, all the people in charge of our surveillance were knocked unconscious, they don't know where to go, the torrential rain washed away the traces, and we are now checking the direction they might be going. The knight in charge of answering nodded and looked at the sky, after a night of showers, the sky was cloudless, it seems that Lord Xiliu should not be there, otherwise, it is impossible to have no hint last night, thinking for a moment, this knight decided to go to the camp to see, after taking his men over, went straight to the tent where the ghost and ugly were, the only one among the many tents is more conspicuous, after entering, there is nothing in it except for a piece of paper, the rider has sharp eyes, picked up the note and looked at it carefully, and then his body shook for a while, but he was speechless in surprise。
"My lord, what's wrong?" Seeing his reaction so fierce, the attendant couldn't help but be curious, but the knight took a deep breath and said, "Lord Xiliu invited His Royal Highness the Regent to go to the Ruins Demon Cave!"
"This ......" Yiying's subordinates were dumbfounded, this news was too shocking, and everyone didn't know how to respond for a while, the knight who was the leader sighed and said: "Since it is the invitation of Lord Xiliu, our responsibility to greet is still there, and the order to change the route of the troops, we will also go!" Everyone was stunned, and the knight left in the tent suddenly sighed again and muttered to himself: "I didn't expect to go to this place again, ghost ugly, you really don't worry about it." ”
After saying that, the knight also went out, and the change of route to welcome the mission was of great importance, and everything that happened when the regent entered the country had already been reported to the city of thorns, and after hearing these news, the reactions of all parties in the city of thorns were also different, but soon the will that came out of the palace showed the attitude of the king of the dynasty: let go!
Two simple words, but it contains too much content, the major families probably have an understanding of what happened in it, and the Locke family is naturally the same, but because the descendants were taken away by the regent, the descendants of Ruth are lonely, so it has become a means for them to seek benefits, on the one hand, the persecution of flesh and blood, on the other hand, there are evil words, and finally Ruth became a plaything in their hands, and as soon as the news came out, the family represented by the knight who was killed by the ghost and ugly immediately came to reprimand, where did these side branches experience this kind of problem, they were panicked for a while, and after a period of bottomless promise, they finally got a temporary stability, but they don't know the conditions they offer, and Ruth, who relies on her the most, is long out of their control.
As for the other forces, they also wanted to make a move, but since the emperor had released the news, they could only let go of their thoughts, and then when the news that the regent of the Kotler Empire went straight to the ruins of the demon cave, the entire Thorn City was not too surprised, at the beginning, the military talent of the Locke family, Luna, led the Moyu cavalry regiment to support and suppress the demon monsters, and with the help of the mysterious powerhouse, a complex defensive magic array was set up at the entrance of the ruins, and after the magic array was activated, there were no demon monsters in the ruins demon caves, But even the twelve knights were silent, although many forces had intentions, but in the end they found nothing, and then countless gossip rumors, the person who set up this magic array at that time was very likely to be the regent of the Kotler Empire, and now this regent His Royal Highness gave up to welcome the mission and went straight to the ruins of the demon cave after entering the Binis Empire, which confirmed this rumor.
After that, even more shocking news also spread to Thorn City, the guardian of the empire, Lord Xiliu, specially left a message to His Royal Highness the regent to invite him to the ruins of the Demon Cave, the king of the empire and the guardian of the empire attached so much importance to the king of the Kotler Empire, all the forces understood the importance of the imperial high-level to ghosts, and the minister who had given the idea to welcome the legion and secretly made ghosts was found dead at home the next day, with a white belt on the beam, and the cold body of the minister hung on it, and he committed suicide because he was too frightened.
When the news spread, all the forces that were going to stretch out their hands obediently took their hands back and began to wait and see.
And the ghost ugly who was noticed by many forces did not know that he had caused such a big impact in Thorn City, he took the army behind him all the way to the ruins of the demon cave two days later, along the way, they bypassed all the cities, and even the local patrols did not catch their traces, this move instead caused the following to follow all the way to meet the legion can not adapt at all, at the beginning, the army led by the regent wanted to keep up with the legion that greeted the mission was very difficult, but it was also a hard support, but now the situation is not only reversed, but what is even more embarrassing is that they have not found any trace of the troop march along the way!
"The cavalry of the Binis Empire is unparalleled in the world, but it is rare that these four legs can't outrun two legs, it's just that we follow the established route and don't have to think hard. The knight at the head looked at the many subordinates with a resentful face, and sighed directly so that the troops did not have to be too reluctant, most of the troops of the Kotler Empire are mainly infantry, which is known to the world, because the Kotler Empire is a magic empire, and the most feared is the magic legion, but after the appearance of His Royal Highness the Regent, the mobility of this infantry was exerted to the extreme, and the legions he led were basically victorious in every battle, and all relied on infantry, as for the magic legions of the Kotler Empire, they rarely appeared.
The current situation makes the greeting legion very embarrassing, the field march is not too unusual, the ghost ugly just escaped from the surveillance with the help of the day, and then took a straight line, straight to the ruins of the demon cave, many soldiers are angry at any time, but they also have to admire, the beginning of the contempt, now has long been directly beaten by the ghost ugly.
"It is rumored that the legions led by the regent in the Kotler Empire are monsters, and now it seems that the rumors should be true, and the field march, even we have run, is really admirable. The entourage of the great knight said with a wry smile, and the great knight said with an equally wry smile: "The world is like chess, everything is unpredictable, I saw him back then, but now he is already an existence side by side with the imperial king, it is useless to be angry, let's go, let's go and see, what kind of fame does this regent want to do."
After the order was given, the troops began to advance step by step, and when they arrived at the ruins of the Demon Cave, they found that the mission they were looking for actually put on a posture of preparing for war, seeing such a situation, the leading knight did not take it lightly, and also entered a state of combat readiness, and saw the arrival of the army, a herald immediately rushed out of the army preparing for battle, and brought out an even more shocking news.
The defensive magic array of the Ruins Demon Cave is effective, and a small number of monsters have already escaped from the Ruins Demon Cave, and now His Royal Highness the Lord Regent and Lord Xiliu have entered it.
