- Solan City, the imperial capital of Solan, occupies the vast plain of the imperial capital.
The main color of the whole city is white, and the streets in the city are like spiders crisscrossing each other. Houses of different styles, large and small, are lined up in rows, and there are many tall towers. The outer walls of the city are hundreds of meters high, as majestic and thick as a mountain made of huge rocks, and are indestructible. The Imperial Power Mountain in the center of the city towers into the clouds, overlooking the world.
Since the demons invaded and the troops pointed south, and Edward I issued several mobilization orders and convening orders for the entire empire, hundreds of lords, big and small, have led their armies to the north.
The lords of the eastern and northern provinces of the empire will go directly to the assembly point on the northern border. The lords from the south and west will pass through the imperial capital and initially gather here.
At this moment, the outside of the imperial capital has turned into a continuous military camp.
??Tents of different styles, colors, and coats of arms were spread out in such a dense manner that it was impossible to see the end at a glance. The soldiers held spears and lined up, and the knights were galloping back and forth in bright clothes and angry horses. The people in the camp were shouting and shouting, and it was very lively.
¡°More civilians drove carriages filled with grain and grass into the camp in a long queue. The small traders spontaneously formed a market in the open space outside the gate of the camp, and the sounds of hawking continued.
With the strong control of Edward and the support of Lulian and other grain-producing areas, the current order in the imperial capital is relatively normal.
The relatively sufficient food supply and the severe crackdown on price gouging and hoarding have also made the lives of the people in the imperial capital much easier than in other areas.
But the pressure has begun to show.
Refugees from the north were moving southward in an endless stream along official roads, trade roads, and even wild roads over mountains and rugged shepherds' paths. The lords from the north also led their armies to arrive one after another.
Nowadays, the total population of the imperial capital has doubled that of previous years. Walking on the streets, it feels like being in a crowded fish pond. You can only hear the noise of the fish and see the boiling muddy water, which is suffocating.
Under this circumstance, the food supply has been limited, and the Royal Knights responsible for the security and city defense of the imperial capital have also sent additional patrol soldiers.
Crowds of people are always the most dangerous place.
Like a huge powder keg, no one knows when a spark will fall and it will turn into a huge change that cannot be contained.
And the news that Cardinal Pullman was shot and killed outside Cold Mountain City came at this time.
The perpetrator left two lines of writing on the rock.
"Sixteen years ago, by the Frost River."
"This is just the first one!"
This news spread in the crowded imperial capital ten times faster than usual. The earthquake caused was a hundred times stronger than usual!
Whether it¡¯s the military camp outside the city, the shacks where people gather, or the city¡¯s markets, streets and alleys, as well as the nobles¡¯ mansions, gardens, banquets everyone is talking and even arguing.
¡°Everyone is mysterious, foaming at the mouth, gnashing their teeth, or gloating over misfortune.
Naturally, various theories and rumors are also rampant.
As a Solan person, everyone has very complicated feelings towards the Holy See.
The Solan Empire was founded under the attack of the other two empires and the Holy See. In the past hundred years, even if the imperial power declined, the Solan family has never let the influence of the Holy See intervene.
Even Solan¡¯s Holy See is its own faction, seemingly unrelated to Vatican.
Under such circumstances, belief in something like this is a bit casual for the Solan people. When needed, everyone will also go to the church to pray and pray devoutly to the Holy Emperor to bless them.
Some want to have a son, some want to find a beautiful wife, some want to do business and want to make money, some are sick and want to recover as soon as possible, some have lost money, chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs and want to get them back.
There are many requirements.
But once the conflict between the empire and the Holy See comes, it is the same group of people who throw broken eggs and rotten tomatoes into the priest's carriage and scold the father for having a son.
To the Solan people, the Holy See is a piece of paper to wipe their butts. Use it when needed and throw it aside when not needed.
This is the nature of most Solan people. It was forced out a hundred years ago by Grand Duke Solan who led the southern lords and the powerful alliance with the Holy See, Pompeii and Philip.
There are believers in Solan, but they have never been obedient!
This is also the reason why Donald is so powerful that he can overwhelm the royal family, but the Holy See, who is far away from him, has never been able to make Solan surrender and obey.
¡°If this time, the person who died outside Cold Mountain City was an archbishop under Pope Solan, everyone might be shocked, and then they would do what they should do. Won¡¯t invest too much??Attention.
But what was different this time was that the person who died outside Lengshan City was a cardinal from Vatican. Moreover, this person is also involved in the mystery case that was remembered by every Solan person sixteen years ago!
Why did Pullman appear in Lengshan City, which is deep in the south of Solan?
How did he come?
Why is one of the few strong men in the mainland, a man of noble status and immense power, not going through the royal family and the Pope when he comes to Solan, but quietly going to Lengshan City alone.
What is he going to do and who is he looking for?
Is he really the murderer of the Frost River murder case sixteen years ago? Was the Holy See really involved in that? How dare they so blatantly insert their hands into the Solan Empire and do such a thing?
This is tantamount to declaring war on the Solan royal family!
So, who killed Pullman and carved those words on the rock?
Are you from the Hanshan family?
As we all know, Roland, the Archduke of Farrington, has disappeared for more than ten years. Rumor has it that he is now trapped on Mount Apostolica. His son Roger died in battle early in his life, and his daughter-in-law Sarah committed suicide on the banks of the Frost River
So, if the perpetrator is an avenger, there is only one person who is qualified to write these words in such a tone!
That little boy escaped from the Frost River and disappeared into the vast sea of ??people, without knowing his whereabouts!
Roy!
Is he back? !
What does he look like and what kind of person is he? Where has he been hiding for more than ten years and what has he experienced? What kind of strength does he have? Why did some witnesses say that it was a battle involving at least seven or eight sanctuaries?
A simple murder case and two sentences have already raised countless questions in people. And hidden under these questions is a turbulent undercurrent, a changing and turbulent storm!
The truth about the mystery case sixteen years ago has already revealed the tip of the iceberg.
But this is the tip of the iceberg, but it involves the royal family, the Holy See, Donald, and all aspects.
¡°At this moment when the demons invade and the royal family and Donald are at war with each other, no one can see clearly what the future holds. What everyone can vaguely see is the cold light of the sword, which is the color of blood!

"Roy"
On Huangquan Mountain, the palace was silently immersed in the afterglow of the setting sun. Edward I was sitting in the study, staring blankly at the secret report on the desk, chewing on the name.
This name seems to have a magical power.
He is so deeply entangled with the Solan family, it seems like fate.
Sixteen years ago, the little boy from the Hanshan family of the Principality of Farrington who disappeared was called this name.
A few years ago, the little handyman who came out of the small seaside town of Borabel and accidentally became Aleshia's guardian knight also had this name.
Thinking about it, Edward couldn't help but laugh.
In the Solan Empire, Roy is actually a very common name.
In addition to these two young men, there is also a captain in his Royal Guard named Roy. He also knows a blacksmith from the Shenjiang Hall and a painter from the Royal Art School, both named Roy.
Even a fat and naughty nephew of Salmond, the chief heraldry officer of the House of Arms, is also named Roy.
Apart from the same name, these people have nothing in common.
They have different family backgrounds, different identities, different looks and personalities. And if you think about it carefully, no matter from which aspect you look at it, the Roy that you like and value will not be the Roy from the Hanshan family.
Although Roy and Alessia are still engaged, logically speaking, their relationship with the Solan family is closer.
However, he disappeared too completely and for too long.
But this Roy has never left his sight since he came out of the small town of Polabel. Even though he suffered divine punishment and reappeared as Leo, he still did not hide his identity from himself, and still pulled himself out of trouble again and again as before.
That commoner boy is so strong and optimistic. And such a character is definitely not what a young man who is burdened with hatred and lives in the darkness can have.
Besides, things can¡¯t be that coincidental.
How could it be possible that a servant of a small baronial estate whom Alessia met by chance during a trip was her missing fianc¨¦?
If the news from the south a few days ago is correct, then Roy, whose pseudonym is Leo, is now leading his army in LuIn the Gobi in northern Anhui.
Knights of the Southern Cross
Thinking of the three hundred magical costumes that Adolf received, Edward couldn't help but smile.
He can¡¯t wait to see this army built by Roy himself.
In a few days, he would personally lead an army to the north, and that boy's small territory of Bandez was not too far from the main battlefield where the coalition forces were gathering.
OK OK.
Edward rubbed his eyebrows and tried to focus on the matter in front of him.
He got up and walked to the window, staring at the garden in the early morning, and said to himself: "So, it should be that Roy who has appeared?"
In front of the desk, several royal officials sat side by side.
Mo Ya, who was sitting on the far left, nodded and replied: "Yes, Your Majesty. Apart from him, we can't think of anyone else who would leave such two sentences."
"Sixteen years later, he finally showed up," Edward said with emotion. "If Roger and I hadn't arranged this marriage, he wouldn't have gone through this. I really don't know how he survived these years."
He turned his head and asked: "Did he kill someone and disappear? No trace was found?"
Mo Ya looked embarrassed and shook her head: "No."
"At least seven or eight saints" Edward stared at Mo Ya with a half-smile.
Mo Ya simply lowered her head and grinded her teeth secretly. As the commander of the Ministry of Supervision, such a force exists silently in the land of the empire without her knowing it. This makes her wonder whether she is usually too nice to the guys under her.
"Okay, I don't mean to blame you." Edward waved his hand, and his face gradually became colder. "There are some things that cannot be found out by trying to find out. Maybe in a certain period of time, the truth will naturally surface. "
Everyone looked stunned.
Everyone knows what Edward is referring to.
"A cardinal archbishop personally took action, what a good trick on the Holy See," Edward sneered. "It seems that we are really easy to bully. When Archduke Roland killed Vatican, I still feel that the truth is not clear, and the archduke was too impulsive. But now it seems that we are the real deaf and blind people. Archduke Roland can see it, everyone can see it clearly!"
"Your Majesty!" Salmond, the chief heraldry officer who had been keeping his eyes closed, called out.
Edward waved his hand and said: "Okay, Salmond. I know what's appropriate. Now is not the time for me to fall out with the Holy See."
Salmond nodded and closed his eyes again.
Edward turned his attention to Mo Ya.
"However, just because I don't fall out with the Holy See Mountain does not mean that I will pretend not to see this matter. Check! Now that we know Pullman, there will always be clues about what he did and who he came into contact with back then."
"There are only a few targets! Dig the ground for me and find out all the people who leaked the whereabouts of Sara's convoy and colluded with the Holy See!"
As he spoke, Edward's eyes flashed coldly: "Start with Donald!"
"I obey, Your Majesty!" Mo Ya said solemnly - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
