Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On December 1, 1228, in the Glorious Era, Her Majesty Queen Catalina of Auckland (acclaimed to the outside world) and her eldest son, Her Majesty Prince Arihelis of Cyrodiil, arrived at the Southwest Camp after completing their inspection of the southern coast, and officially received the invitation from Imperial Prime Minister Tai.  Lyon took over the command of an army of 40,000 men.

    Five days later, the Young Guards and the 14th Army Corps, which had just completed reorganization, also arrived on the battlefield.  Auckland's army outside the Cangling Valley suddenly exceeded 70,000 people.

    In fact, the siege and tug-of-war continued until that time, and the rebels in Longbao were already in panic. The 40,000 troops of the western princes alone were enough to contribute to Longbao.  However, Her Majesty the World's First Queen may have wanted to demonstrate her strength in front of everyone, so she waited until the central army directly affiliated with the royal family arrived before launching a general offensive.

    Forty guided cannons began to roar beyond the range of all traditional long-range large-scale ordnance.  They continued the bombardment for nearly an hour, emptying a third of the shells.  The gateway of Longbao is built against the rugged and steep Cangyan Ridge, guarding the Qingmen Fortress at the Gro Pass. This fortress has a history of nearly five hundred years and has been reinforced and repaired by successive Longbao Grand Dukes.  It turned into ruins.

    Fortunately, this is a world with too long a history and too advanced mysticism. The thousand-year-old city is not as good as a dog. There are ten-thousand-year-old cities. You can even find ancient cities nearly 100,000 years ago. The so-called 800-year-old city really doesn¡¯t count.  What.  If she were in Lu Xi's hometown, Her Majesty the World's First Queen would probably be regarded as the "destroyer of civilization" and be notorious for thousands of years.

    But in this world, Karin can destroy cultural relics without restraint.  She said that she had been unhappy with the so-called Qingmen Fortress for a long time.  For a long time, the Grand Dukes of Longbao relied on this kind of natural danger to form an independent body, and they were not convinced by the king.

    At the same time as Qingmen Fortress, the 3,000-man garrison was destroyed, and a large number of vassals under the Dragon Castle Draxley family were scattered.  The counter-rebellion army then entered the Cangling Valley, which had not been entered by the Central King's army for five hundred years, and was invincible along the way.  The defenders at Longshouya and Baiwan Port laid down their weapons with almost no resistance.

    Within ten days, the army had arrived at Longbao and surrounded it.

    Then, after the counter-rebellion army had not set up artillery positions, only a few cannons conducted a few small test firings, and the defenders opened the city and surrendered.

    So, the two-year-long "counter-insurgency" war in Longbao was finally over.

    During this battle, Grand Duchess Teresa "disappeared" on the battlefield. It was said that she was thought to have died together with the three thousand defenders of Qingmen Fortress.  Later, Countess Gulia, who was in charge of the defense in Dragon Castle, succeeded to the throne, but she surrendered to the Central Royal Family.  The deferential attitude of the Grand Duchess, who had not reigned for more than ten days, was too upright to find anything wrong with. Therefore, the Draxley family, which had already committed the "crime of treason", was finally renewed.  After coming down, the punishment was even lighter than expected.

    Grand Duke Gulia was ordered to give up her title of Grand Duke and her identity as Lord of Dragon Keep to the three-year-old Claire Van Draxley.  The latter is the cousin of the two sisters and the youngest member of the Draxley family, a very beautiful genius Luoli.

    In addition, don¡¯t think that Gulia and Klea are the same word. This is Auckland, not English.

    Ms. Gulia, who lost her title and status as a lord, could retain her status as an earl and her territory, but she chose to self-exile.  After dedicating her estate to the Crown, she left Auckland and has not been seen since.  It is said that someone saw her in Sosness, married a well-known ranger named Naji, and wandered around the world; some people said that both of them later became guerrillas, and became known as  The backbone of the "Freedom Riders" team; others say that they arrived in the New World, bought a piece of reclaimed pasture, raised horses and hunted every day, and lived a peaceful life.

    Of course, the above are all rumors.

    The famous Sword Saint sisters of Grand Duke Longbao have completely withdrawn from the stage of history.

    The Draxley family has preserved the Dragon Castle where the family has lived for thousands of years, as well as most of the territory in the valley.  However, they lost the griffin nests in Cangyan Ridge, Longshou Cliff and Lion King Mountain, and also lost control of Baiwan Port and Xihai Avenue.  In addition, more than half of the vassals attached to Longbao were charged by the royal family with "inciting their masters to fight against the empire" and were punished by having their titles reduced, transferred, or even excommunicated.

    As for the new Grand Duchess of New Longbao who was only three years old, she followed Her Majesty the Queen out of the valley.  She never returned to her hometown until she was eighteen.  However, when she grew up and returned to Dragon Castle for the first time, she already had an additional identity as the fianc¨¦e of Prince Cyrodiil of the Auckland Empire, the future Queen of the Empire.

    The world¡¯s first queenHe did not return to Theroxia immediately, but ordered the disbandment of the princes' armies. He led 30,000 new troops to turn around along the West Sea Avenue of the Sea of ??Fallen Stars, arrived at the Port of Kalais, and met with the princes of the western region.

    At this meeting, the head of the Auckland princes, the Prime Minister of the Empire, the Chief of the Privy Council, and the "little giant of the fallen star sea" Duke Tyrion Van Lancaster submitted his resignation to the Queen in front of all the princes.

    He was very attentive and handed Casterly Rock City and the title of duke to his eldest son. He divided the remaining territory into two and gave it to his second and third sons.  In addition, the vassals under his command were also purged to a considerable extent.

    This is the order of grace The "Her Majesty the World's First Queen's Super Merciful Rain and Dew Order" has been implemented in the Western Territory and the territory of the largest prince in Auckland.

    In the next ten years, Eagle Helms City and Winterfell also followed the Duke of Lancaster's precedent.

    From now on, it is no longer possible for the four major powers in Auckland to have the power to fight against centralized power.

    Of course, the above is still a thing for later.

    In fact, on the day when Her Majesty the World's First Queen came to the Port of Carrees to patrol the West Sea and meet with the princes, the contemporary "Auckland Tianzi No. 1 Rebel" died in the Qingmen Fortress according to official records.  The Grand Duchess of Dragon Castle, Teresa Van Draxley, also appeared in this famous seaport city on the west coast of the Sea of ??Fallen Stars.

    She is now in a medium-sized cruise ship, floating offshore. Looking far away, she can see the lighthouse of the port and even hear the bells in the distance.

    Theresa, who was officially dead, gestured with a telescope and looked at the harbor in the distance, like a child exploring the world with her eyes, her face full of curiosity and interest.

    ¡°What are you looking at?¡± asked the shadowy figure of a woman sitting on the table behind her.

    "The God of War Shur used his sword to split open a huge trench that was more than ten meters wide and over a hundred meters deep, and killed the black sheep god Hakares on the spot who was 20 kilometers away. Now, Karin is concentrating on her over there  Falling Star Fleet, and by the way, let¡¯s talk about the dwarf uncle of the Lion family and his horses. The port of Carrees is probably no more than 20 kilometers away from us. I¡¯m wondering how long it will take me to do it.  We have reached this level." Theresa smiled.

    "It's too difficult to be a human being. Even if you really make it this far, your lifespan will come to an end." The speaker was a strong man with red hair, who was the human form of the legendary red dragon Elas.  Incarnation.

    "Yes, human lifespan will eventually end, and the human body will also have its limits. Therefore, in order to pursue a more outstanding swordsmanship, I must show greater determination. Before Karin's little man turned out to be born, I  I originally thought so, and this is the reason why I am willing to join this messy organization." The most powerful female swordswoman in the Auckland Empire today laughed: "But, the more messy things were all done by that little boy.  It's out. As long as there are more sophisticated instruments, sooner or later, even a cripple will be able to release that kind of power, right?"

    "So, do you regret it now?" The female figure was still smiling calmly: "As I said, our organization can come and go freely Well, essentially we are a loose trouble-making organization with no goals.  , there is no dream, no purpose, and even the slogan is very mediocre. We couldn¡¯t hope to establish an organization with iron-clad discipline!¡±

    "Forget it, I don't have anywhere to go now anyway." Teresa also returned to her seat, glanced at the long table, and couldn't stop laughing: "It has been a long time since I joined the organization, but I was restricted by my previous status.  I¡¯m so busy with chores, this is probably the first time I¡¯ve attended everyone¡¯s plenary meeting Wow, Elyas, you actually ran away? Weren¡¯t your bones ripped apart by your daughter?¡±

    "There are still several broken bones. After all, I can't fight back against my cute little moon. However, although that girl has awakened a certain ability to control space, she is still young and inexperienced after all. I only want to run away seriously.  You can definitely escape Uh, hey, this is your first meeting, so you should save some face for your seniors, okay?"

    Theresa pretended not to hear anything and said seriously: "It's so shabby! There are so many people missing all of a sudden."

    "There is always a need to add new blood. However, precisely because it is a loose and random association, the selection of personnel needs to be more careful. I can't remember." The woman sitting at the head of the long table said phantom: "Look,  Isn¡¯t there a new person this time? Please introduce yourself first.¡±

    "Good morning everyone, well, although many of you here are not meeting each other for the first time. I am Halda Dandelion of the Dandelion family, but it seems that there will be no more Dandelion families in the future, so I am just a magician.  It¡¯s just Alda.¡± In one month, he also served as the federal undersecretary of military orders.?The Director of the Gendarmerie, with the rank of general, is one of the most elite members of the federal ruling class. Halda Dandelion squinted his family's squinting eyes and smiled like a bird.  A fox who just entered the henhouse.

    "We are destined to be just a shady secret society. Do you really not regret it? Master Halda ¡ó Ling Ling Reading Network ¡ô." The ordinary middle-aged man sitting in the first place on the woman's left hand said  Smiled at him.

    "Adults are always responsible for their own choices, Your Excellency Belkiel. I am the same as Your Highness Teresa"

    "Hey, you little fox, are you mocking me by calling me Your Highness right now?"

    "Uh, well, just like Miss Teresa, I don't have a good place to go now. However, if I can, with your help and the guidance of the future lady, watch the future of the world while doing  It is indeed the best thing to do some crazy and bloody pranks and find the way forward for my way of law."

    "I can't teach you the way of law, just like I can't guide Theresa on her sword path. I can only provide you with clues to the legacy of the previous civilization and enough opportunities to temper you."  The shadow of the future lady swayed a bit, seeming a little unstable.

    Belkiel, who was still transformed into an ordinary middle-aged uncle, showed a worried look for the first time.

    "Miss¡­¡­"

    "How long do you have?" Red Dragon Elas asked directly.

    "Well, I must admit that Lucy Berencaster's blow gave me great trauma. The light of judgment did not judge me as the destroyer of the world, but judged that I was not qualified to continue to control the goddess Fein.  The Kingdom of God Hehe, after all, I am just a missing person, a fake, not the goddess herself! Now, I must try my best to re-establish communication and connection with the Kingdom of God. If I succeed, I can probably continue. If not, it¡¯s just a matter of time.  It is true that a missing body cannot exist for too long. So" Ms. Future paused, looked at the short-haired woman who was sitting at the table and said nothing, and said in a relaxed tone: "  I will give all the clues I know about the inheritance to Miss Andrel. If I am no longer here, she will announce it. Oh, by the way, all the clues are secret words and treasure maps. This is also  It¡¯s a little game between me and everyone.¡±

    Andril Ulysses stood up and nodded to everyone.

    "Okay, okay, I like mini games the most." Belkiel said cheerfully.

    "Youcan't you just say frankly, 'I've put all the treasures in the bank vault, what's the password, go get it yourself' or something?" Honglong held his forehead and sighed.

    "Hey, I'm going to die, can't I just be willful? As the old colleagues I recruited, you shouldn't be filled with sorrow and nostalgia at this time, thinking that you will never see me again.  Cherish my last days with gratitude, so let me go?" Ms. Future said angrily.

    "Several of the old colleagues you recruited have died, and they all died at the hands of that man, Karin. I always feel that I will be the next one." Teresa said cheerfully.

    "At least Imohrep brought himself to death, and Shadordan was killed by Belkiel." Ms. Future said loudly: "Well, I'm going to die anyway, so I'll do what only I can do."  Let¡¯s deal with the finishing touches first. Mr. Orendar, come and say hello to everyone.¡±

    Before she finished speaking, three translucent holographic projections appeared around her at the same time, namely the kind and kind old grandfather, Yuxue's cute little Luoli, and a beautiful big sister with a healing smile.

    When he saw this scene, Belkiel immediately wanted to get under the table.

    ¡°It¡¯s not that serious, they are not here (temporarily).¡±

    "Madam, you are trying to kill me. Are you going to treat your loyal old Belkir like this? I understand, are you going to drag me to be buried with you even if you die?" The old alchemist burst into tears.  So sad.

    The future lady pretended that she did not see the sadness on the old alchemist's face and said to everyone: "This is the famous Abyss Prime Minister Orendar, and his two disciples, Lilivi and Red Priest Ellie, who are both Abyss Lords.  Miss Riel. Regardless of whether our operation was successful or not, at least it allowed our collaborators to successfully achieve their goals."

    "Co-operator?" Belkiel was a little surprised, obviously unaware.  Even he didn't know, and the others were even less aware.

    "It is indeed very successful. I have obtained the corpse of the Succubus Queen of the Mythical Age and the Lord of Indulgence, Gamin; and Ragbal's tibia. They are indeed hidden in the prison of the Spiral Fortress. So, according to the agreement, Lilivi, Anli Ruier, you can join this organization as my representative.  May I?  Future lady.  "

    "Of course you are welcome! If possible, I even hope that you can join the organization, in the past or now. We are really short of manpower. However, you have so many things to do and you have to do such a big thing, you really don't dare to force it." said the future lady.  .

    "Hello everyone, we are new here, please take care of us." Liliwei greeted everyone gracefully, while Anlirui nodded politely to everyone.

    "Okay, everyone, our next step is to continue recruiting people. However, the arrival of a new era is already visible. What we need first is a research master who can lead the team, and a big donor who can provide money! In addition,  There are also those who can engage in intelligence, do wet work, and train outside thugs Wow, there are really too many things to do!"

    Before Belkiel opened his mouth, another newly joined demon refining man said, "I will look for it in this area soon. This is where our talents lie."

    "People will also help." Liliwei also said with a smile.

    "It's over, it's about to fall out of favor. It's time to die when it loses its use value." Belkiel became even more sad.

    "As for the most important thing, the leadership of the organization, the future of the organization" Ms. Future glanced at everyone, and her tone became increasingly calm.  However, everyone's hearts tightened, knowing that this was the point.

    "If I die, it will be up to you to decide who takes over the leadership and who will inherit the titles of the past, present and future. Whether it is voting or fighting, it is up to you. In the final analysis, we are just an evil secret society.  You can stay or leave the organization at will, and the future will be even more casual. We exist in the darkness, hidden in the background of the times, and entangled with history, so we have to be so casual!"
