Before returning to the imperial capital, Rogge reported his itinerary to the emperor in advance, including the army establishment, service types, generals leading the army and the list of trophies he carried. WwW.QuAnBen-XIaoShuo.CoMThe purpose of this return is to report victory to Emperor Feuerbach. If the Delaware Empire had not been captured, and this high-sounding reason stood in the way, Rogge, as the supreme commander of one party, would have left the defense zone without authorization and led his troops into the imperial capital, which would have been a dead end.
In addition, Emperor Feuerbach's achievements on the battlefield in recent years have been mediocre, and there is really nothing worth boasting about. He is feeling a little bored, and Rogge's victory comes at the right time.
The emperor also wanted to see Rogge again.
In recent years, the two expansions of the empire's territory were brought about by this well-behaved fat man. Although he seems to be quite ambitious, he is also bold and ruthless in his actions. Rogge's past actions in the south have long been investigated by the empire's intelligence agencies. However, the sin of heresy in the eyes of the Light Church is not a problem at all in the Asrophic Empire, and this fat man is indeed useful. On the surface, his abilities are limited and he sometimes does things incomprehensibly, but his military exploits are there, which is the best proof of his talent.
As for Rogge's little ambition... Emperor Feuerbach has always been a hero and thinks that he can tolerate, suppress, and control Rogge. Although this fat man is aggressively expanding his power, attacking dissidents, and has many dangerous people around him, to the upper aristocracy of the Asrofic Empire, he is an outsider after all. When it comes to appeal and influence, , far less than Alexander, Straw and Pompey, who have been in power for many years, and are really not in danger.
After reading the battle reports coming back from the southeastern front, the emperor, who liked to attack and kill, felt itchy in his heart again. It just so happened that this considerate fat man wrote a letter at this time, asking the emperor to personally lead the army southward and completely drive the arrogant Hylar people into the sea, so as to complete the unprecedented feat of winning an outlet in the Aegean Sea.
The emperor was already very old, but after a lot of help from dragon bone grass, he seemed to be more than ten years younger. After receiving Fatty's report, the emperor personally presided over a military meeting to repeatedly discuss the feasibility of using troops against Hyrule. In the long and fierce debate among the courtiers. The emperor listened, mediated, and commanded, showing extraordinary energy, as if he had regained the style of his heyday.
Dozens of princes were all overjoyed to see their father recover. In the past two days, every prince looked beaming with joy. Of course, it is unknown whether their true psychological thoughts are consistent with their appearance.
The outlet to the sea was of great significance to the Asferok Empire and Emperor Feuerbach. Although the Longines Sea is vast, it is strictly an inland sea. At the other end of the sea, the narrow and steep Hundred Mile Strait separates the Longines Sea from the vast ocean. Although the value of the seaport on the west coast of Longines Sea is somewhat discounted, it is still an seaport after all, and it has been the dream of many generations of emperors in the empire. Successfully obtaining an outlet to the sea is no less significant than conquering the dwarf empire in the west. After adding this martial arts feat, Emperor Feuerbach's status in the annals of history is almost as high as that of the most martial emperors in the history of the empire.
The emperor had begun to like this fat man. It would be great if he could always be loyal to the empire, the Emperor sighed.
It seemed that it was a very bad decision to allocate Malika to the fat man. I heard that the princess was unruly and caused a lot of troubles. Her behavior with her poet lover in Dresden even broke the silent rules of the aristocracy. She didn't bring Luo closer to the emperor's chamber as the emperor expected, but instead pushed him further and further away.
Emperor Feuerbach became increasingly angry at Malika's arbitrary assertions. He began to feel annoyed that the whip was too light. In his mind, women have no status at all and should not have any opinions of their own. Malika's only value is to win over an important minister for the empire with her royal blood, that's all.
when! The Emperor picked up a small hammer and rang a small bell made of mithril on his desk. A moment later, the old housekeeper Sara Winger walked into the study.
The emperor pondered for a moment and asked: "Sara Winger, in your opinion, can I win Rogge's loyalty?"
The imperial capital Richelieu was already in sight. You can see richly painted and magnificent buildings standing here and there. If your eyesight is good enough, you can see this city's unique means of transportation. The boats with their two ends raised up slowly emerge from the gaps in the buildings. They are actually traveling through the vertical and horizontal waterways.
I can't upload the picture no matter how I try it. Damn it, I typed it out myself... I hope you all support it! ! Ge no longer rides in a car, but rides on a tall war horse. This is in line with his image as a famous general commanding thousands of troops to kill the enemy in front of the formation.
When approaching Richelieu, Rogge looked at the large, dark crowd with some confusion, wondering what was going on. It wasn't until people saw the fluttering bloody battle flag and burst into cheers like waves that Rogge realized that these people were actually here to greet him.
According to imperial practice, only when a general who has made great achievements returns to the imperial capital, a welcoming ceremony will be arranged. Rogge indeed made great achievements in opening up territory for the empire. However, the Principality of Serkeli still exists on the front line he is responsible for. Although no one thinks that this heroic little principality can continue to survive, since the war has not completely subsided, Rogge's contribution cannot be assessed for the time being, so there should not be any welcome ceremony for this return to the capital.
These people who greeted him were completely free of charge!
The fat man himself never expected that there would be such a heroic triumph. It really came out of nowhere. Always suspicious, he pondered over and over whether there might be any conspiracy involved, or whether he should simply change direction and enter the city through another gate.
There was a sound of hoofbeats behind him, and Robosky patted his horse and caught up.
"My lord, your military power is indeed invincible! You see, even the people in the imperial capital admire you so much. Is it Richelieu? It is indeed the most famous city in the North. Compared with it, Tiffany is really stingy. Sir, can you Conquering the hearts of the imperial capital is much more difficult than conquering an empire!"
Rogge stopped the team and frowned at the crowd in the distance. What was going on? "
Robosky immediately said: "This couldn't be more obvious. The folk customs in the north are fierce and brave, and the most respected people are warriors. The Asferok Empire has always paid attention to military merit. Think about it, my lord, you will hold high the bloody flags when the war begins, like a landslide. Like a tsunami, you captured the Delaware Empire, which General Frederick had no choice but to do. You marched like lightning, and you were invincible. You were invincible, leaving millions of Delawares dead and bleeding for thousands of miles. Such military achievements! General Frederick can be called a famous general of the empire, but what about you, my lord? You are simply the new military god of the empire! It is absolutely normal for the civilians of the empire to love and worship you! What is this small welcome scene?"
Rogge said calmly: "I slaughtered several cities and killed many people."
"You are killing enemies of the empire. Naturally, the more you kill, the better. What's more, those who die are not their relatives. Who cares about this? Wherever the empire's army passed by in the past, although they did not massacre the city, they left behind There are not many living people. In the attack on the Dwarf Empire that Alexander became famous for, I heard that he killed five million dwarves!" said Robosky.
Rogge nodded, he naturally knew this. But he was reluctant to enter the city in such a ostentatious manner. But now that the crowd has spotted him, it's impossible to escape. If you insist on avoiding it, it will only make it more true.
The fat man frowned and said to Roboski: "Don't mention the word "God of War" to anyone again! Let's go to the city!"
This was the first time Rogge experienced what a narrow welcome is.
The young men on both sides of the avenue were all excited. They roared and showed off their powerful muscles, hoping to be spotted by Rogge and join his guard. In addition to the fanatical admiration in the girl's eyes, there is also more rippling love. Although older people are not as impulsive as young people, the enthusiasm in their eyes is not bad at all.
This was also the first time that civilians in the Imperial City observed Rogge carefully. The fat man's ordinary and affable face was not in line with the image of a hero in people's minds, but the two bloody battle flags behind him that sounded fiercely in the cold wind made their blood boil with excitement! They couldn't help but imagine that the dark red, almost purple-black flag must have been stained by the blood of many enemies!
"If we let them see the real scene after the massacre, what would these people think and do?" Amid waves of cheers, Rogge slowly moved forward.
But he felt that this world did not seem real, and everything around him was so far away from him. Everything is like a big dream.
Although these cheering people were born in the Asferok Empire, which prides itself on war, like the residents of the capital of any powerful empire, most of them will never see the brutality and cruelty of the battlefield in their entire lives. Not to mention the scene of millions of innocent souls drifting in the wind after the massacre of the city. They will only be dazzled by the halo on the victor's head, but will not see the hell under the light and shadow; they think they can smell the rich blood in the halo, and they are shaking with excitement, but when they really have their hands full Will he still be so fanatical when there is an ocean of blood
Rogge smiled coldly at his own heart. The bloody battle flag behind him will continue to fly, and the color of the flag will become darker. But as Robosky said, although there are thousands of dead, they are all other people, so what does it have to do with him? He has never been someone who cares about the country and the people, and loves the people like his own son. He was not in the past, is not now, and will not be in the future.
Sooner or later, the empire will open a passage to the south. These people who live on the road pointed by the imperial army will die sooner or later. If you die now, those countless innocent souls can still be used to awaken the dead.
If he could let his men bear the name of killing, Rogge would never hesitate at all. It's just that none of his men have such a sense of responsibility. Among all the people who followed him, only Charles had this talent, but unfortunately he died on the battlefield.
Rogge suddenly felt that his hands were wet and greasy, as if they were covered with blood that had not completely solidified. He raised his right hand and looked carefully. The hands were white and clean, spotless, without any stains at all, and they did not look like strong hands.
But as soon as the fat man closed his eyes, he would see that his hands were covered with dark red sticky **.
"But *** needs a soul..." Rogge thought. For some reason, at this moment, all his innermost thoughts and true thoughts came to the surface, and were amplified a thousand times.
"Since she needs it, and since no one is helping me, I will kill it myself..." He closed his eyes, licked the tip of his tongue gently, and showed a smile at the corner of his mouth. It's like tasting blood.
Click! In a gloomy basement, the crystal ball placed in the center of the altar suddenly cracked. Rogge's image inside shook violently, twisted a few times, and then disappeared.
Then large amounts of blood poured out crazily from the cracked crystal ball, dyeing the snow-white altar bright red in the blink of an eye!
A mage wrapped in a black robe staggered a few steps and fell on the altar. The mage struggled to hold up his upper body, avoiding the blood spurting out from the cracks in the crystal ball like spring water. The hood tilted while dodging, revealing half of his face. Judging from her beautiful contours, delicate skin and purple-black lips, she must be a very beautiful woman. But the blood flowing from the corner of her mouth was a strange purple-blue color.
The female mage finally stood up straight and wiped the blood from the corners of her lips with her sleeves. What is surprising is that what protrudes from the fluttering cuffs of her sleeves are not the slender fingers of a beautiful human race, but several dancing tentacles.
"How could his mental power be so strong!? I just tried to guide his emotions, but in the end, even the Dark Blood Crystal couldn't withstand the mental shock and fluctuation. This was still his unconscious shock. If he fought back with all his strength... " The female mage's voice was low and hoarse, with a strange beauty. But halfway through her words, she was interrupted by a violent cough.
There was an extremely unpleasant creaking sound from a corner of the basement, which sounded like laughter. The voice then said: "I told you a long time ago not to try to touch his soul. Haha, have you suffered a lot? You soul guides are so arrogant. You have only been a soul guide for several years, and you still want to touch it. To touch his soul? Your mentor is enough!"
I can't upload the picture no matter how I try it. Damn it, I typed it out myself... I hope you all support it! ! The mage said fiercely: "Shut up! I can't touch his soul, so why can't I deal with you? I can completely extinguish your weak soul fire!"
The voice in the corner laughed a few more times, and then said: "How much of the world you see in your shallow eyes is real? Looking at how pitiful you are now, I won't bully you. Wait for you When the magic power is fully restored, if you are willing to test the strength of my soul, you are welcome at any time! In fact, I still said the same thing, it’s more like having your mentor do it!”
The female mage was so angry that her robes rippled, but in the end she just said viciously: "You will pay for your rudeness!"
"Although the younger soul guides are all arrogant and ignorant guys, considering that it is not easy for you to come here, I still have to warn you that it is best not to try to do anything to him again. I have observed He's been there for a long time. But my instinct told me not to get close to him."
"Coward!" the female mage spat.
She provoked another burst of ruthless ridicule: "He is the person chosen by the princess! After all, the princess's vision is better than that of a guy like you, right?"
The female mage was speechless for a moment, and then said bitterly: "Why can't I see where he is strong?"
"Look at the blood on your sleeve! You will know where he is strong!"
Rogge was unaware of everything that happened secretly. He was just immersed in his own emotions, and he didn't come back to his senses until he was in front of the palace in the imperial capital.
Robosky followed Rogge all the way, looking around and saying, "Mr. Rogge, your prince's mansion... seems a little shabby!"
"It's just a temporary stay, there's no need to worry about it." Rogge said calmly as he moved forward with his hands behind his hands.
"But my lord, that's not the case. Your current status is very unusual. I think in the imperial political arena, apart from Alexander, Pompey and Straw, you are the next one. You have returned to the capital with such military achievements this time. There will definitely be officials, large and small, who will come to you to express their loyalty. Of course, these people cannot be as unconditionally loyal as me. If they see your mansion is so shabby, they will probably be a little shaken in their hearts. Although we treat disloyal people, They can only be used when they are useful, but they cannot be recruited by others. Besides, I heard that the mansions of Pompey, Straw and others in the imperial capital are splendid, luxurious and magnificent. You live like this Isn't simplicity a disguised way of accusing them of extravagance?"
Rogge was slightly surprised and looked at Robosky sideways. He knew a lot! "
Under Rogge's gaze, Robosky began to tremble for some reason, and his lips turned pale with fear: "Sir! The villain has been studying the political situation in the north just to survive! Think about it, all the villains Human... when the villain was by your side, when did you ever... have 2 thoughts?"
Why did Rogge laugh like that? What you said makes sense and is indeed a bit crude, but it would be too troublesome to move to another place. Starting tomorrow, you will be responsible for repairing this place. "
Robosky was overjoyed. Civil engineering has always been a good job, and it is also the most direct and convenient job to please Rogge.
Rogge waved away Robosky and walked into the study alone, sitting quietly and meditating.
It was not until evening that he called in the guards and ordered: "Go and inform Master Rockefeller of the Holy Church that I want to visit him at the Holy Church Cathedral and let him see what time is convenient." (Full novel website www. .QuAnBen-XIaoShuo.com)
