Abe the Wizard

Chapter 836: deterrence

Views:

The shock given by the small war puppet had just ended, followed by a hundred giant trebuchets. In order for this trebuchet to move forward, Abel specially invited the masters of the dwarves to modify it.

The trebuchet that could only be fixed on the ground was changed to have iron wheels at the bottom. With the weight of the giant trebuchet, only all-iron wheels could bear such a weight.

In front of each trebuchet are five bulls pulling the trebuchet. Even so, the trebuchet moves extremely slowly.

If it were wartime, this speed would not have much effect on the war, but now it is enough for review.

These one hundred giant trebuchets were refitted by Abel after they were captured on the battlefield. Although most of the people on both sides of Victory Avenue had seen such trebuchets on the city wall, such a huge trebuchet was moving slowly. The feeling is even better than that of a small war puppet.

You must know that the height of a giant trebuchet is more than ten meters. When it is pulled, it makes people feel that the entire ground is shaking with the rolling of the iron wheel.

There is an operating team on each trebuchet. These are specially trained professionals. At this time, they look at their emperor with reverence.

"His Majesty the Great Emperor Abel is victorious!" Due to the small number of people, the sound did not spread loudly between Victory Avenue and the viewing platform. It just covered the sound of the iron wheel, but it also welcomed the people. of cheers.

"Huh!" Duke Chesterton, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of St. Paul, breathed a long sigh of relief and said softly to His Majesty Emperor Aldous of the Kingdom of St. Alvos next to him: "This military parade should be over, right?"

"Yes, these displays of military power are frightening!" His Majesty Emperor Aldous replied unabashedly.

The heads of the two empires knew that the military power displayed by the Kingdom of St. Ellis just now had already made it impossible for the two empires to compete.

"Have you noticed?" Duke Chesterton shook his head and continued: "All the slogans in this military parade are greatly enhancing Grandmaster Abel's personal worship!"

"As an empire that has just changed its royal family, this behavior is understandable!" His Majesty Emperor Aldous replied.

They had just discovered that in a general military parade, the army should first shout "The Empire is victorious!" and then "The Emperor is victorious!" '.

The army of the Kingdom of St. Ellis only shouted, 'The Emperor is victorious! ', at this point it is indeed constantly highlighting the personal worship of Abel.

"Grandmaster Abel doesn't know what he thinks. I heard that he is already a fifteenth-level wizard. When he reaches another level, he may have to leave the Holy Continent. By then, his personal worship will make the future emperor How can the heir control the empire?" Duke Chesterton said softly.

"Grandmaster Abel is only eighteen years old. He has not yet had a successor, and there are very few members of the Harry family. There are only two of him and his adoptive father. I am afraid that there will not be a successor to the throne in a short time!" Orr! His Majesty Emperor Des also said softly.

"Then he is planning to keep the throne to himself, so he worships this person?" Duke Chesterton couldn't help but said.

He and His Majesty Emperor Aldous glanced at each other. At this time, they thought of Abel's wizard status. He was a fifteenth-level intermediate wizard. How long could a fifteenth-level intermediate wizard who was only eighteen years old live?

Even if he leaves the Holy Continent, what if he can't come back

Perhaps the price of using the super teleportation circle is unaffordable for ordinary wizards, but for Abel, that is not a problem at all.

Abel has earned so many points just in Leante City. If he hadn't been a senior wizard yet, the points he had earned from the Leante City Wizards Guild would have been enough for him to use the super teleportation circle once a month.

One hundred thousand Liant City points, this is the price for using a super teleportation circle, which is enough to bankrupt all wizards in the Holy Continent, but for Abel, it is only a part of his monthly income.

And now that he has become the emperor of the Kingdom of St. Ellis, his points income in Liante City will be greatly increased. In this case, there is no problem in using the super teleportation circle.

In a short period of communication, the two empire leaders had already clarified the meaning of Abel's military parade.

"Look, there's more!" Duke Chesterton suddenly pointed at Victory Avenue and said.

Yes, after the slow passage of a hundred giant trebuchets, a full two hundred gryphon knights lowered their altitude, only five meters above the ground, and flew across the Avenue of Victory at a reduced speed.

When passing by the viewing platform, two hundred griffon knights turned on their fighting spirit armor almost simultaneously. Although only four of them were attribute fighting spirit armors, this also showed that these two hundred gryphon knights were all knights above the level of knight commander.

"Your Majesty, the great Emperor Abel, is victorious!" Two hundred gryphon knights above the rank of knight commander stirred up their fighting spirit and made their voices explode in the air.

The Gryphon Knight has always been the pride of the Kingdom of St. Ellis, but the previous empires collected the Gryphon Knight like a treasure and never displayed it easily.

And now the legendary No. 1 Flying Cavalry Squadron of the Holy Continent has truly appeared in front of the people of the Kingdom of Saint Ellis, so clearly and so close.

"Your Majesty, the great Emperor Abel, is victorious!" The people of the empire also went crazy. They saw the pride of the empire for the first time.

In the past, the Griffin Knights were the royal family's private army, and each Griffin Knight was a dead soldier, which made the Griffin Knights mysterious and invisible.

Now Abel has a better way to control it. A magical contract can allow any talented knight to become a griffin knight without worrying about his loyalty.

And this method can be used permanently, because Bartoli, the maker of the magic contract, is an immortal wizard.

"Grandmaster Abel can allow the Griffin Knight to appear in the military parade. This is so surprising!" His Majesty Emperor Aldous said with no trace of his envy in his eyes.

The Griffin Knights are the only organized flying cavalry army in the entire Holy Continent. In the past, the other military strength of the Kingdom of Saint Ellis was somewhat inferior to that of the other two empires, but just with the Griffin Knight Squadron, Saint Ellis The kingdom's military power surpassed the two empires.

"Of course, you must know that the Griffin Knights are no longer the strongest sky combat force in the hands of Grandmaster Abel!" Duke Chesterton was also envious, especially since Abel could inherit the entire squadron of Griffin Knights. This was what made him sigh most.

"Will there be an explosive increase in the number of Griffin Knights in the hands of Grandmaster Abel?" His Majesty Emperor Aldous had some questions and seemed to be talking to himself.

"It's better to sign the peace contract quickly!" Duke Chesterton was no longer in the mood to speak.

The squadron of gryphon knights passed very quickly. As soon as they passed the viewing platform, they soared into the sky and flew high into the sky in a neat battle formation. Two hundred gryphon knights formed several battle formations in the air.

This sudden performance caused the cheers that had just stopped on Victory Avenue to start again. Even the guests on the viewing platform were staring at the squadron of gryphon knights in the sky.

Because this is the real hidden secret skill of the Kingdom of St. Alice, it is the flying cavalry aerial battle formation that has always existed in the legend. No living person has ever seen this flying cavalry battle formation.

But now Abel has publicly displayed this secret technique of the empire. On the one hand, it is a display of military power, and on the other hand, it shows that the St. Ellis Empire no longer needs to use the Griffin Knight as a secret weapon.

It is very likely that griffon knights will appear in future wars, and griffin knights are very likely to become a means of regular combat.

What is the confidence of the Kingdom of St. Ellis? After the departure of the Griffin Knight, the empire's real super combat power finally appeared.

Five sky boats flew in the air 20 meters away from Victory Avenue. Everyone on the ground could clearly see the huge size of the sky boats, although the portholes on the left and right sides of the sky boats were not opened and they could not see inside. A powerful city crossbow with continuous fire, but most of the guests on the viewing platform knew what kind of weapons were inside through their respective intelligence systems.

The lightning spiral on the deck of the sky boat has been flashing with white electric light. No matter which angle you look at the sky boat, you can see the figure of the lightning spiral. When the military parade just started, everyone present was shocked by this terrifying machine defense weapon. Everyone has seen how terrifying its power is.

On the side of the Sky Boat deck facing the viewing platform, all the people stood neatly, their eyes full of admiration for Abel.

Most of them came from Harry Castle and Bennett Castle, and were old men who followed Abel. These people were the most loyal people under Abel.

The real operator of the sky boat is actually not the crew or the captain, but the spirits in these sky boats.

As long as they disobey Abel's instructions, anyone who dares to make any changes to the sky boat will be regarded as an enemy by the spirit-controlled lightning spiral.

No one can survive the attack of dozens of lightning spirals, not even Abel. This terrifying mechanism defense weapon is already the strongest technology among defense weapons.

Therefore, Abel was very confident about the safety of the sky boat, and the spirit would ensure his own safety.

"Your Majesty, the great Emperor Abel, is victorious!" When five huge sky boats flew over the Victory Avenue, the rare Victory Avenue was quiet, so when the crew shouted loudly, their voices were particularly clear. .

How could the people on both sides of Victory Avenue not be shocked? These five sky boats have exceeded their imagination. They are ships that can fly. Although some of them had seen them on the day Abel entered Denan City, they were only from a distance. A glimpse from a distance is far less oppressive than the giant thing in front of me now.

Also silent were the people on the viewing platform, but the dwarves felt a burst of pride in their hearts. This was the sky war machine they had built.

The other guests were different. They knew that if a war broke out, their army would probably lose the confidence to fight when facing these five huge sky boats.

This is a war machine that makes people feel powerless. Currently, the only defensive weapons that can attack the sky are city crossbows. However, it is hard to say how effective the city crossbow can be with its hull made of steel.

Not to mention that the sky boat has a height advantage and can hit targets above the ground faster and better.

Among all the guests, only the dwarves knew the value of the five sky boats in their eyes. If all the magic equipment forged by Grandmaster Abel on the five thousand knights in front were extremely valuable, then these five sky boats The value of the boat can be dozens of times that of those magical equipment.

You must know that the value of the sky boat is calculated based on the material value because the dwarves will not sell it to outsiders, and there is no processing fee for the dwarves.

The processing costs of countless master-level blacksmiths and array masters will also be an astronomical figure, so the value of the sky boat is so expensive that ordinary people can hardly imagine it.

"Your Majesty, the great Emperor Abel, your army is sworn to fight for you to the death!" Grand Knight Bodleian returned to the central viewing platform, still riding the war horse, and said loudly.

But at this time, all the guests looked at him differently. A general with such an army would be someone they must be friends with.

As Abel's direct disciple, Grand Knight Bodley followed Abel in almost every battle, and it was for this reason that Abel trusted him even more.

"My general, let the army go back and rest!" Abel said with a smile and nodded.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Grand Knight Commander Bodley responded loudly.

Then under a series of orders, all the troops participating in the military parade began to evacuate, and everything was in order.

"Everyone, I have prepared a cocktail party in the palace and invite you all to attend!" Abel invited the guests on the auditorium with a smile.

All the guests smiled and bowed their thanks. No noble would refuse a reception of this level.

No matter the heads of the two empires or the representatives of the dwarves and elves, they will not leave at this time. They all need to understand Abel's next plan, and the best way is to talk face to face.

Abel walked down from the viewing platform, and the crazy people of the Kingdom of St. Ellis did not leave. When they saw their emperor, they kept cheering.

After today, I don’t know how many people’s throats will be hoarse, but no one will care at this time.

The requirements of the people and the nobility are not the same. They don't care who becomes the emperor. They just need to have a stable life and enough food.

But Abel can do this. Of course, in terms of food production, it is still difficult to maintain an empire and a principality. However, the Kingdom of St. Ellis still has some wealth, and the food will be enough at least until next year's autumn harvest.

Just today, the people of the empire saw the power of the empire. They did not have as many thoughts as those guests. They knew that the empire would be safer in the future. With such powerful force, no one could threaten the empire.

"Your Majesty, the news just came from the intelligence department. The original movements of a small number of nobles have stopped. Judging from the reactions from all aspects, the vast majority of the people of the empire have returned to you!" Butler Burbage said in Abel The person beside him reported softly while leading the way.

Now that the Intelligence Department of the Principality of Kamai and the Intelligence Department of the Kingdom of St. Ellis have been merged, a new and larger intelligence organization is being formed in the empire.

After Abel obtained the throne, some nobles who resisted him due to profit reasons have once again suppressed their dissatisfaction after seeing the power of the empire with their own eyes.

Abel did not want to take measures against these nobles who did not express dissatisfaction, but would slowly take back the rights of these nobles. To be honest, the change of political power would inevitably cause some resistance.

This time, he was able to obtain the imperial power of the Kingdom of St. Alice so easily. The main reason was that he unexpectedly occupied the city of Denan and forced the original imperial family to give up the imperial power. Moreover, he captured 20,000 knights and allowed everyone to surrender. The nobles had to make concessions.

Knights are the force guarantee for the existence of nobles. Without these knights, nobles cannot protect themselves.

Now through the military parade, the powerful strength of the army in Abel's hands was demonstrated, which shocked the forcibly suppressed imperial nobles and made them dare not make any changes.

"You have been paying close attention recently, especially in the major cities of the empire. If there is any change, report it immediately. The newly established Griffin Knight Squadron and Warg Knight Squadron need to be baptized with blood!" Although Abel's voice was soft, there was murder in it. The intention was to make even Butler Burbage feel the coldness.

Abel has no choice. He doesn't have time to deal with these things slowly. He needs time to practice. Once the empire is completely stable, he will enter retreat mode and practice with all his strength.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Butler Burbage bowed and responded.

Abel walked into the cloakroom again. He needed to change into a dress to attend the cocktail party. This was the dignity of a host and respect for his guests.

He once again changed into a dark red embroidered robe, and wore a white silk-edged shirt underneath, which gave him a different temperament. This dress is very suitable for the cocktail party environment. The dress that highlights the noble temperament in the cocktail party is more A dignified dress is more appropriate.

"Earl Bennett asks to see you!" Butler Burbage approached Abel and whispered softly after he had just changed into his ceremonial robe.

"Invite him in!" Abel nodded and said.

Soon Earl Bennett walked in wearing a luxurious new dress. It could be seen that he also came to attend the reception.

"Your Majesty!" He bowed respectfully and saluted Abel.

"Father, there is no one else here, so there is no need for such courtesy!" Abel looked at Earl Bennett helplessly and said.

"Your Majesty, you are already the emperor of the empire. In the entire human world, except for gods, everyone who sees you must salute you!" Earl Bennett said stubbornly.

"Father, what do you want from me now?" Abel asked, not wanting to argue with Earl Bennett about this matter anymore. This was something that could not be explained clearly.

Earl Bennett received the most traditional knightly education, and his loyalty to the monarch was deeply rooted in his blood. Although Abel was his son, he was not a member of the Bennett family. From the perspective of aristocratic tradition, Abel Bob is no longer his child, but a member of the Harry family.

Therefore, Earl Bennett has always maintained sufficient respect for Abel after he became king.

After Abel became emperor, Earl Bennett was transferred from the Principality of Kamai to the Kingdom of St. Ellis to assist Abel in managing the empire.

Earl Bennett is a relative of Abel, and Abel does not have many relatives. The Bennett family and the Harry family combined only have a few people.

Since Earl Marshall would not leave Harry Castle and did not want to participate in political affairs, Earl Bennett became Abel's most important assistant.

"Your Majesty, my abilities are limited. Are you still asking me to return to the Principality of Camai? My talents are not enough to manage such a large empire for you!" Earl Bennett bowed in shame.

Abel immediately understood what Earl Bennett meant by coming here. As a small nobleman who grew up in an ordinary knight family, becoming a heraldic knight based on his own military exploits was already an amazing achievement.

If it weren't for Abel's upbringing, Earl Bennett would have been a heraldic knight for almost his whole life, guarding his own Bennett Castle.

In the Principality of Kamai, he participated in the management of the principality before, which was his limit. Now for a period of time in the empire, he has been unable to suppress the imperial nobles regardless of his talent or title, which makes his already difficult job Even more difficult.

"Father, the Principality of Kamai will be merged into the empire after a period of time. The Principality of Kamai will no longer exist. The original Principality of Kamai will become part of the empire, so you don't have to think about going back!" Abel laughed. As he said this, he waved to the tailor beside him and motioned for him to leave.

After watching the royal tailor bow and retreat, Abel continued: "After a while, when the empire is stable, I will upgrade the titles of you and Uncle Marshall to dukes. From now on, the Bennett family will become part of the imperial family. Brother, for the management issues you mentioned, I will let people pass on the corresponding knowledge to your Duke. Zach is also growing up. He will have children in the future. You will also hope that the Bennett family will become a great nobleman!"

Knowledge is priceless, and inherited knowledge is the most fundamental foundation for every noble family.

But Abel now owns the Kingdom of St. Ellis, and in its empire's collection of books, a large number of inherited books include almost all the knowledge in the world.

Moreover, the empire also has inheritance officers who specialize in passing on this knowledge to the nobles. Some of the knowledge passed down by emerging nobles are passed on by these inheritance officers.

Only the three major empires have such inheritance officers. Recently, while Abel has continued to control the empire, he is also grateful for his decisiveness when he seized the imperial power, which allowed the empire to be completely included.

Otherwise, it would take countless years just to complete these minute details.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Earl Bennett bowed gratefully.

Abel has always treated the Bennett family and the Harry family equally, which he is extremely grateful for.

Now when everyone in the empire mentions the Harry family, it is no longer the Harry family of Gamba City, but the Harvest City Harry family of Abel and Earl Marshall. This was originally just a branch of the Harry family of Gamba City. Now because of Abel's reasons have completely surpassed the Harry family in Gamba City.

Of course, the Harry family in Gamba City also enjoyed many benefits. At least because Earl Marshall did not want to participate in government affairs, Abel gave the power that should have been enjoyed by Earl Marshall to Earl Marshall's father, Brooke, the head of the Harry family in Gamba City. count.

This time Abel not only transferred Earl Bennett to the empire, but Earl Brooke was also transferred to the empire.

"Father, I will soon implement the elven parliamentary system in the empire. I will fade out of the center of power, and the empire will be managed by the parliament. I want to hear your opinion!" After Abel said this, he looked He glanced at Butler Burbage who was standing aside. Although he did not hide his intention, he should also let him know that these words were top secret.

Butler Burbage hurriedly made a gesture of respectful service, as if he had not heard what was just said, which was enough to shock the empire.

"Your Majesty, you don't want to run the empire anymore?" Earl Bennett asked suspiciously.

Although he knew that Abel, as a wizard, was not interested in power, this was an empire, one of the three strongest empires in mankind, and almost the pinnacle of the human world in the Holy Continent.

"Yes, I actually had this idea in the Principality of Camai, but I never implemented it!" Abel nodded.

Although the land area of Kamai Principality is not small, its structure is simple. Even if it does not adopt a parliamentary system, it can still be managed without his intervention.

But the Kingdom of St. Ellis is different. The empire needs to deal with various conflicts within the empire and its five vassal states. It also needs to maintain contacts with the other two empires. This requires a lot of work and someone who can make decisions.

If Abel did not entrust these tasks to others, then the government affairs of the empire alone would prevent him from concentrating on his cultivation.

The wizard's training is his foundation. At this point, everything must give way. He knows exactly what he needs.

He has an advantage, that is, he is a wizard and has a lifespan that no one can match. Or as the blue dragon Emmanuel thinks, he is also a blue dragon, so his lifespan should be at least ten thousand years. calculate.

The empire has no heirs, at least not until his descendants are born.

So he must now consider how to make the empire more stable on the premise that the throne will not change for a long time.

The parliamentary system of the elves is the most mature system. By referring to the parliamentary system of the elves, he, the emperor, will be completely liberated.

"Since your Majesty said so, I will discuss it with Earl Brooke, refer to the elven parliamentary system, and come up with a plan for you!" Earl Bennett saw Abel's determination, and he responded in a deep voice. .

Since coming to the empire with Earl Brook, the competition between him and Earl Brook has disappeared, because they are both direct descendants of the new emperor. In the general environment where Abel did not clean up the ruling nobles of the empire, they were hostile.

This allowed him to unite with Earl Brooke. They were not without advantages. Together with the Grand Knight of Bodleian, they had the support of the army and the most important financial power. The original aristocratic system of the empire could not resist them. It won't last long.

As time goes by, he believes that they will slowly integrate into the empire's management system, especially after Abel proposed the parliamentary system, the opportunity to distribute this power will be in their hands first.

Abel smiled. With Earl Bennett and Earl Brooke helping to formulate the plan, he didn't have to worry too much.

He didn't want to be shackled by power. Ever since he knew there was a bigger world outside, he had always wanted to see it. He also wanted to know how the equipment that was supposed to be in the dark world flowed into this world. among.

As for the empire, he is not afraid of any problems. It can be said that the most powerful military force in the empire is under his control.

In the wizarding circle outside Harry's castle, in his magic tower, the tower spirit Flavi can control the guardian spirits of the Gamba City Palace through the teleportation circle, and can control the Aoya spirits in the Aoya Palace of the elves, and can control this The guardian spirit of the royal palace.

In almost all important places, Taling Flavi can transmit information and control through the teleportation circle.

Of course, this kind of control is not without cost. The price is the consumption of a large amount of magic stones all year round, but magic stones are the cheapest resource for Abel.

The spirit of the sky boat will regularly fly back to Harry Castle, where Flavi, the tower spirit, replaces the magic stone for it through a puppet and shares part of the news.

Because of the presence of Barbara in Harry Castle, it was the safest place and no one on the Holy Continent could invade.

Bartoli is Abel's trump card to stay in the Holy Continent and protect the family for a long time. She has been practicing hard now. I believe that with the supply of Abel's unlimited resources, it will not take long to become a high-level wizard.

The key point is that Bartoli has an endless lifespan, so her combat power will continue to grow. The longer time goes by, the more powerful her combat power will be.

Bartoli's magic contract is also one of the biggest secrets in Abel's hands. This method of forced restriction can ensure the absolute loyalty of the signer, which is very helpful for Abel to rule the empire in a hands-off way.

And Bartoli, who has endless lifespan, can guarantee that the magic contract will always be provided, and there will be no problems even if Abel leaves the Holy Continent.

Abel's most important trump card is his friendship with Blue Dragon Emmanuel. As long as Blue Dragon Emmanuel does not want to cut off the Grandmaster wine and delicious dishes, then when the empire encounters an unsolvable crisis, Blue Dragon Emmanuel You will not stand idly by.
