Volume 1 Crime and Punishment Chapter 54 Confession (II)
There are five powerful empires in this world, Disney, Rootia, Halix, Suchel, and Corvo, each country seems to be the only god in its own domain, and it exudes a powerful light that shines on the world all the time, but this powerful light and royal power are all obtained through countless bloody wars, and no country can be at peace forever, because greed is the nature of human beings.
In the process of establishing the royal power, even if the mantis arm is used as a car, there will be countless countries that have to stand up and go to the rising star, and the result is naturally obvious, only the country is ruined or becomes a vassal state of the empire.
Belgrade is such a vassal state that relies on Corvo's breath, but Belgrade can be said to be the most powerful of the dozen small countries attached to Corvo, when Corvo's army came to the city a hundred years ago, no one would have thought that this country would choose to make peace without the slightest resistance, but it is precisely because of this that Belgrade has been peaceful and peaceful in this century, and because of its own good strength, Corvo is quite important.
This kingdom occupies the largest of the more than a dozen vassal states, almost occupying one-tenth of Corvo's territory, it is rumored that a hundred years ago Corvo's army surrounded the royal city of Belgrade, the thick and strong royal city walls in front of Corvo's boundless army still revealed a fearless atmosphere, the Corvo generals at that time spent two full months to discuss how to capture this most difficult bone, but just when Corvo's generals were ready to show their skills, this impermeable royal city actually slowly opened the gate, Belgrade king did not bring a person, dressed in full costume and slowly walked out of the cityIn the face of millions of troops, he did not even have half a fear on his face, he faced the thousands of troops and horses, and only said one sentence: "Can Berg alone be exchanged for Belgrade's Taimin'an?"
Elizabeth I, who is known for her iron and blood, sat on the high platform in the middle of the army, she slowly stood up, lifted the skirt slightly with both hands, took a half step back with her right foot, and made a most respectful curtsy, Elizabeth I's voice was not loud, but it could reach the ears of countless people, "Congratulations to Your Majesty"
Berg stroked his chest with his right hand, bowed slightly, and said loudly, "Welcome Your Majesty", and then Berg pulled out the golden sword at his waist, symbolizing the royal power of Belgrade, and slashed it around his neck without hesitation.
Since then, the royal city of Belgrade has been named Berg City, in honor of the most glorious king of Belgrade, but for the people of other countries of Corvo, another name is easier for them to remember, Berg City is also known as the City of Steel, and Belgrade has always been famous for its rich mineral resources and high-quality weapons casting skills, in the short hundred years of the Corvo Empire, from the Corvo Royal Guard, down to the local garrison, the weapons held in the hands of the soldiers came from this city.
And on the most ordinary night in this steel city, the appearance of a person indicates that this night will be recorded in history, Bichel and Biban father and son sat in an inconspicuous carriage, slowly driving in from the side gate of the palace in the city of Berg, Bikiel still looked like no one in his eyes, he slightly touched the beard on both sides of his lips, looked at the night view of the Belgrade palace, and said disdainfully" Why is Berg remembered by so many people, and the death of one person does not make his country a small vassal state"
Biban is old after all, he can't help but be a little mentally weak, he opened and closed his eyes slightly, and there was still a hint of pampering in his slightly dissatisfied tone, "Don't be rude, Berg can be said to be the most courageous king in the history of Belgrade, he can be called quite successful in any aspect during his reign, if it weren't for the Corvo Empire being too powerful, it is unknown what Belgrade would become under his men" Bichir snorted, but did not refute his father's words, Biban said with a little worry" Bechelle, don't forget what we're here for tonight."
Speaking of this, Bichel's eyes showed a glint of undisguised ambition, the palace in Belgrade is not big, during the conversation, the carriage of the two came to a side hall of the palace, the two stepped out of the carriage, a guard in silver armor was already waiting here, the guard held a helmet in one hand, bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty has been waiting for two adults in the house for a long time"
Biban walked in front, nodded slightly when he heard the words, and walked towards the house, this area seemed to have no one else except this guard, the palace at the moment was quiet and depressing, the door was just gently covered, but Biban did not push the door, stood up slightly and said loudly, "Your Majesty Berge, Biban asks to see"
As soon as Biban's voice fell, a deep voice came from the house, "Please come in" Biban pushed open the door and walked into the house, Berg III is a middle-aged man with a tough figure, probably from the white of his hair, he can see that he is no longer young, seeing Biban and the two walk into the house, Berg did not get up, but slightly stretched out his hand to signal the two to sit on the chair in front of his desk.
The interior of the house was extremely simple, even a little shabby compared to the meeting room of the Corvo Palace, which could be seen from the disdainful expression on Billier's expression as he looked around, but Berg III was not a man who was obsessed with small things, and he had already heard of Beard's rudeness, so he did not express any dissatisfaction.
After Biban and the two sat down, Berg III did not make a sound, as if he did not know the intention of the two to come late at night, the silence in the room was only the occasional crackling sound when the candle fire burned at the table, Beechet couldn't help but shake his legs, he said, "Your Majesty Berg, I came tonight for..."
Berg III nodded slightly, Biban didn't make any more unnecessary explanations, and continued straight to the point, "Corvo is in its current form, you and I have an evaluation in our hearts, and the rest of the vassal states have agreed to send troops and are ready, I think you should give us an answer"
Berg III was silent for a moment and said, "No matter how many monkey grandchildren there are, they can't fight lions."
As if expecting such an answer from Berg III, Biban turned his head and nodded at Bichier, who, without saying a word, raised his arm facing forward, lifted the cuff of his left hand slightly, and engraved a deep pupil mark symbolizing Igniz on Bichel's left wrist.
Berg III's pupils shrank suddenly, and Bibhan motioned for Bichiel to lower his arm before saying, "We can guarantee that the peace of Belgrade will not be affected in this war, or in the future in a larger war, and we will be satisfied with both hands."
Berg III did not say anything, he stood up and walked to the back of his chair, looked out the window with his hands behind his back, and said in silence for a moment: "In three days, I will stop the routine delivery of armaments to Hurlis, and at the same time Belgrade will provide some armaments and supplies for support during the war, however, we will not send any troops"
Bichiel seemed to be slightly dissatisfied, but just as he was about to speak, Berg III turned around abruptly and raised his voice slightly, "This is my bottom line!" Bich seemed to have achieved his goal, and without further words, he said, "Then, the two of us will retire first" Berg III looked straight at Bichi's already slightly cloudy eyes and said, "I hope Your Excellency will keep your promise"
Biban stood up and nodded, and then walked out of the room, Bichel frowned as if he wanted to speak, but in the end he didn't say anything, shook his hand, and walked out of the room.
Berg III turned his head again, looking through the window, the moon tonight seemed to be with a trace of blood, Berg III's voice was indescribably stunned, he said to himself, "Is peace really so difficult, but war will always lead to greater war" He looked into the distance, in the center of Berg City, there was a huge statue of Berg I, Berg III muttered to himself, "Please don't blame me"
Biban and the others had returned to the carriage at this moment, and the inconspicuous carriage was slowly driving outward, and Bichiel finally couldn't hold back his emotions at this time, "Father, why do you want to give him up again and again, don't you know how great Igniz's power is?"
Bichiel even had some difficulty in self-control, as if the father in front of him had done something very wrong.
Biban didn't look at his precious son at this moment, he also looked at the moon outside the carriage window, and after a moment he said, "The people of Belgrade have always had the courage to die, and the people of this country value their so-called peace from generation to generation more than death, and if they are not on the same side as us, then the trouble caused by this country will be even more difficult to deal with than the dozen or so small countries combined."
He turned his head to look at Bichel and said, "No matter how many monkey grandchildren there are, they can't fight lions, you have to remember this sentence."
Bichel snorted, but said no more, and Bich continued, "You contact Senna's side of the expedition, and everything will be ready in three days," Bichel nodded.
At the moment when the carriage of the Bibáns stepped out of the city of Berg in the night, on the vast territory of Corvo, the armies of more than a dozen vassal countries were no longer disguised, and they rose up with an indomitable momentum, like a dozen torrents of steel rushing straight towards Hellis, the heart of Corvo.
This drama led by Ignaiz finally kicked off under this boundless night.
