    The emperor's voice was trembling, causing several nobles who had just gathered around to hold their breath in fear The three leading Dukes and the two Imperial Electors were not in the city at all at the moment, and several officers in charge of city defense had already rushed there.  In their own positions, idlers like them who are not responsible for any major affairs are actually meaningless. If someone is in a bad situation, they may become a tool for the Supreme to vent his anger. But fortunately, although this young monarch does  He was not in a peaceful state of mind, but at least he could barely control his emotions - he snorted heavily, suppressed the curses, and his voice was as low as torn cloth: "How much damage will those things cause?"

    "Please don't worry. Although these things are a bit difficult to deal with, their destructive power is limited after all. As long as enough mages are gathered" a gorgeously dressed mage said. He is also the only person here who is qualified to respond.  But the young emperor immediately interrupted him:

    ¡°Isn¡¯t there any news about the Gaia Masters yet?¡±

    "We have tried our best to contact the three masters, and also sent people to use teleportation"

    "There are more than 12,000 troops gathered there, 15,000 orc slaves! 2,300 emperor-chosen knights and warlocks, and the portal has not been closed yet. How could you, how could you not even have any news?  None of them were brought back!" The king's anger surged again, but he said in a calm tone: "Where is your magic? Where are your tools? Or more simply, can't you send some people over to ask?"

    The mage's face was cold. The emperor could think of these methods, and of course he could too - but facts have long proven that these methods are completely ineffective:

    "You know. ¡ÜOpening those portals has consumed all our fifth-level spell slots and above, and the mages who still have spell slots have already headed towards Burgundy. Now we must have a complete day's rest  Only then can I regain my strength, but"

    "But. But, but!" The emperor slapped the table hard: "That's enough! Just gather all the mages in the city for me. No matter what method you use, you must kill those damn ones for me.  Iron box! I will use it to decorate the throne!"

    "Well, it seems a bit difficult."

    Everyone's eyes couldn't help but startled, and they looked in the direction of the sound - it was originally an empty corner of the small living room, but at this moment, there was a person sitting in that seat, minding his own business.  Pick up a glass of wine on the table and sip it slowly.

    "Those things. Although they don't look good, most of them are made of fine gold, plus the internal magic circle, steam power and so on. I'm afraid you can't afford it."

    He smiled at the emperor, showing his white teeth: "But if you really need it, you can consider it. You can parade on its barrel later, of course"

    "It's hanging"

    "Sit down, sit down. Don't worry"

    The young man raised the wine glass in his hand, his tone was gentle, but there was magic in his voice - the six warriors in the hall who had drawn their swords each sheathed their swords, and then they really retreated.  Three ran to the bench, and three went to the seat. Although the bench could indeed seat three or four people.  But it is still not easy to do this while wearing the half-body armor used for concierges, and there are only two seats.  There is only one person left.

    In the end, they each surrendered.  And the last person sitting underground in the middle of the action is extremely funny.

    However, the other people in the room were completely unable to smile because of this only a hint of coldness rose in their hearts - even people who have no understanding of magic can be sure that it is a spell similar to 'charm'  , but that person had already completed it while talking and laughing.

    There are no spells, no movements, and there doesn't seem to be any magic props shining on him.

    Several nobles almost rolled back, and no one dared to shout stupid questions like "Bold and rude" and "Who are you?" As for the so-called loyalty to protect the Lord, it also depends on  Looking at the situation, how could this guy who appeared silently in front of the king be stopped by losers like them even if they risked their lives?

    So, a wide space appeared in the small room, allowing two pairs of eyes to look at each other silently.

    "Interesting, can I know your surname?" The emperor's brows moved slightly, but they soon opened. He walked slowly, returned to his seat, and sat down slowly.  An Sheng's question made the other party raise an eyebrow: "Oh, although you are usually very grumpy, you can calm yourself down when it's really critical?"

    The man in black took another sip of wine: "I remember that many emperors in history were like this, such as thatWhat?  ¡®The scary red beard¡¯?  "

    "The messenger of greatness and peace crowned by Tyr, the god of justice, the glorious victor and the continuous expander of the empire, the defender of justice and law, he can be ranked as the second greatest emperor among my ancestors."

    The young emperor whispered the title of the emperor he was referring to, and then his famous saying: "'You must set an example for others, so that the shaken empire can be healed through you.' This was something he could not understand by mortals.  With the ambition of understanding, the fool can only see the nobles, bandits, and mobs he killed, but the so-called terror is actually just a means. If he does not have true calmness and wisdom, how can he abolish a large number of nobles?  Didn't it trigger any resistance from the nobles? Or even make them work harder? In the era when he lived, the military power in the capital area had declined significantly, and it was impossible to maintain his forty-year rule with terror alone."

    "Oh, that's amazing." The man in black laughed, raised his glass, and drank it all in one gulp: "Sure enough, people who can be emperors are very powerful." He sighed, not knowing what happened.  Are you referring to the red-bearded emperor, or the emperor in front of you?

    So the young emperor also smiled and also picked up a wine glass: "That kind of ancient tree wine is just new wine. It is used to decorate the table. When exposed to direct sunlight, the taste has completely deteriorated. If it is really  Interested. In fact, you should try this, thirty-year-old wine. However, let¡¯s go back to the original question. I haven¡¯t asked for your surname yet?¡±

    "I thought you would be more interested in my purpose?"

    "Actually, no matter what your purpose is, it is impossible to succeed And I am only slightly interested in your identity, but it doesn't matter. I have more talents who are better than me at asking, and they will tell me that I  Something you want to know.¡±

    "Confidence is also an important trait for being an emperor. Even if you don't have it, you still have to build it, right?"

    The man in black suddenly sighed softly: "Sure enough, a friend of mine once said that being an emperor is actually nothing good. It's too tiring and not worth it. I didn't quite understand it at the time, but it's probably true now.  I understand, it¡¯s like some people always think that the city is too noisy and want to live in the countryside, but after going there they find all kinds of inconveniences.¡±

    "Tired?" The emperor of the new empire was stunned, then shook his head slightly: "In this world, there is no such thing as getting something for nothing."

    "Of course it's not that I'm tired. It's just that it's not worth it."

    The man in black said: "Emperorit seems like you have everything, a large territory, a lot of people, all bowing to your orders. In fact, all you have is just a name."

    "The women in your territory are all yours, but you can only meet a few. They only want your children. And then they are even more dedicated to killing you. Being a queen is definitely not as good as being a queen mother Your territory  All the money you get is yours. But you must keep giving it to the people, nobles, and mages Otherwise, they will respond to you with all kinds of trouble. They will not listen to your orders. In the end  , your territory is all yours, but you may not even be able to leave this castle, otherwise there will be countless people shouting around you, why you are putting the safety of all people in danger, don't move lightly"

    He was talking to himself like this, as if he was communicating with an old friend:

    "What does an emperor mean? It's just a name. My friend said that there once was an emperor who ruled the entire continent during his lifetime, but after his death, his subordinates concealed the news of his death.  Under the guise of his name, his appointed heir was replaced by a fool, so his empire was gone. There was still an emperor who had not managed his empire for decades, but his empire still operated as usual  So emperor, king, leader, and the like, as long as you have such a name, it doesn¡¯t matter whether you die or not"

    This time, the emperor of the new empire also fell silent.

    In the small hall, you can hear the drop of a needle.

    But soon, the silence was broken by the rumble coming from the window, and the bursting firelight illuminated the crystal of the window, instantly rendering the entire room orange-red.

    "It's all just nonsense." The emperor of the empire sneered: "How can someone who has never been an emperor know about the emperor?"

    "That's how I retorted to Edward at the beginning."

    The man in black sighed softly, but his eyes seemed to be in the distance: "But after I became the king, another year passed, and I realized that there are some things that you really don't need to do to know. Unfortunately, smart people don't know  Will do it, but stupid people have to do it, just like you and me"

    "you¡­¡­"

    ImperialThe emperor was startled, and for the first time he carefully looked at the seemingly ordinary face in front of him, and then finally gradually overlapped it with the shadow of the king he had only seen in the illusion in his memory!  But the indescribable fear caused by those two faces merging into one had already made him tremble, and he was even unable to say anything at all. He could only listen to the voice and seep into his mind word by word.

    "Your Imperial Elector Legion, three ** divisions, tens of thousands of troops, and more than 10,000 slaves are all gone."

    The king of Tuminis said softly, and then paused: "Then, come here, come here."

    He slowly stretched out his hand, and the wine glass in his hand seemed to be a tribute to the emperor, but the wine in the glass was completely empty, leaving only a few traces of wine slowly sliding down the rim of the glass, as red as blood.

    ??The blood dripped out on the neck of the emperor of the new empire, from dot to line, and finally to a line

    As blood splattered, the young emperor's head rolled to the ground.

    After a long time, several screams burst out from the mouths of the nobles. Several people stared at the lying body spurting blood, unable to accept the fact that the emperor was dead. A few people who had some control immediately fell silent, knowing that this was the case.  This kind of behavior can easily arouse resentment, and it is likely to be the result of following His Majesty.  There were also two or three timid ones whose eyes had turned white, which saved them the pain of thinking.  Only a few guards were still sitting on both sides.  He stared at all this with dull eyes and no reaction.

    So in a huge room.  There was silence.

    "It's a pity, I thought the emperor would definitely know about the emperor's affairs."

    The king in black stood up, stretched out his hand, and the human head that rolled to the ground flew out of thin air and stopped in front of him. He stared at the eyes that widened in confusion. He sighed softly and wiped them with his hands.  .  Then his eyes moved slightly.  Turning around, the strange faces of the nobles around him finally fell on the mage:

    "Quite smart. If you just talk about your understanding of magic combat, you should be much better than those mages who are used to sitting in the laboratory."

    As he spoke, most of the spell that the mage had prepared in his hand was released, and the burst of flames burned his right hand black!

    Cold sweat dripped down from the mage's face, and his face was as pale as death. However, he clenched his teeth and did not shout a sound. He just bent down and lowered his head.  He gave a slight salute to the man in black: "Five-ring mage, Tori Feido, is willing to serve you, Your Majesty."

    The young king of Tuminis smiled coldly.  He stared at the mage, looking up and down, but did not speak.

    "Traitors are not worthy of trust. But the person I once swore allegiance to was not the empire, but His Majesty Alex Wilder." The mage's Adam's apple slid.  The difficulty continued: "He is dead, but I am still alive. A mage should not die because of the changes in the kingdom. The only thing that can make him die willingly is the mystery of magic."

    The king remained silent.

    "I have condensed my true name, and I can give it to you. Although my power is humble, I am the person who knows the territory best here. I am also Alec Wilder His Majesty's confidant. After the news of his death,  There¡¯s a lot I can do before word gets out.¡±

    The king looked at him and smiled:

    "Okay, what do you want to do?"

    "Whether the emperor is dead or alive, it doesn't matter to you what matters is the territory of Standland Province and the soldiers in this city, so the traces of the Standland family are the most important.  It's just that this Duke has always been extremely cunning. He has been operating here for a long time. With your attack, he and his family may have hid in the shelter. It is a secret place that even the emperor does not know. There are several underground places in the forest.  There are six or seven exits guarded by the magic circle. If there are not enough troops to block these exits, it will be difficult to catch them. In addition, I think the news of the fall here is not suitable to be spread out immediately, but should be dispatched  The territories of the three dukes were quickly controlled by manpower. Their troops were mobilized for this expedition, and their defenses were extremely weak. As long as they control their capitals, they can"

    The mage's voice was calm, but his speed was getting faster and faster. He pointed out the defensive weaknesses of several counties and provinces in the new empire, and at the same time presented the planned attack method. He did not care at all about the contempt and anger in the eyes of the few remaining nobles.  , and he was obviously not new to thinking about these issues. The method he proposed was not brilliant, but it was practical and feasible with minimal losses. The young king listened quietly, nodding slightly from time to time.  But just this subtle movement made the mage feel confident that he had gained the king's trust, and at least his life was safe.

    However, as time gradually passed, the sense of stability in my heart began to be shaken, shattered, and finally dissipated!

    He couldn't stop.

    As a mage, he may not be qualified enough.?Wise, but at least he knows that these secrets are the only remaining means to protect his life. Once fully revealed, his role will end here - as a mage, he has just touched the edge of the door of truth.  , may be regarded as very precious in the empire, but a talent like Tuminis, known as the Little Magic Kingdom, is like a crucian carp crossing the river, and he has no advantage at all.

    Therefore, the truth must at least wait until his true name is given. At that time, although his life and death are completely controlled by the other party, at least he is in the hands of His Majesty the King. In other words, he has become a direct subordinate, or has more than half a chance of surviving.

    But now, he has said enough, but he keeps talking. He has already mentioned the eighth of the twelve counties and provinces still controlled by the new empire, and the two counties and provinces near the west are in Tuminis.  In fact, it was already as weak as an egg under the attack, and it didn't need any means to calm it down. It had no effect at all.

    His face was already pale and sweat was flowing down his chin, but no matter how much he wanted to stop speaking, his lips and even limbs were out of control at all Even his thoughts kept flowing upwards,  Keep pouring out all the secrets in your heart!

    After two hourglass scales, he finally stopped, panting heavily, and fell to the ground.

    But all the secrets he knew were revealed without reservation.

    The mage closed his eyes and thought of several possibilities in his mind, but the best outcome is just to be killed as a warning to others and win people's hearts. Traitors are not valued by the ruler at any time. If they can betray once, they will be able to win.  The second betrayal

    However, I don¡¯t know if it was the goddess of luck flying over his head at this moment, but His Majesty the King didn¡¯t seem to be paying attention to his life or death at all.

    Holding the dead emperor's head in his hand, he raised his gaze thoughtfully. Although there was nothing in his field of vision, he did not give up paying attention Until a moment later, he stretched out his hand (to be continued, please search Piaotian Literature  , the novel is better and updated faster!
