Kemp looked at Ryan's actions, but he didn't think so. If it weren't for Ryan's special status, according to Kemp's usual habits, who would have the patience to talk to this boy endlessly? Now it seems that O'Lion wants to lose his temper, and Kemp doesn't care. Said: "Aha, you must be joking, aren't you, aren't you?"

Ryan didn't hesitate and directly threw the fireball in his hand towards Kemp. With a loud "boom", the fireball exploded around Kemp. Wild flames raged around Kemp, making the latter tremble all over. This At that time, Kemp could completely feel the astonishing heat coming from around him. He finally understood that Ryan was not just talking. Now he has absolutely no doubt that this heat can turn him into a pile of coke, although the flames have not yet arrived. On his own body, but if he provokes this young man named Ryan again, then maybe these flames will really fall on him in the next moment,

When the flames dissipated, Kemp stood there with an earthy face, his teeth kept clashing up and down, while Ryan waved his hand and pointed at Hubble, who was sitting there playing with toys, and then pointed at the door of the room. Kemp understood what Ryan meant in an instant. Before Ryan could retract his pointing hand, Kemp took Hubble and disappeared with a "whoosh". The speed was definitely faster than the sword master Andreas. You must be quick, which makes Ryan sincerely admire you.

"Fanny, you said his speed is no slower than that of the orc sword master." Ryan said to the screen behind him in a daze: "It is a pity not to participate in the defense of the royal auditorium."

Farasi walked out from behind the screen. She was still worried about Kemp's verbosity just now. That guy was really annoying, and there were always various traps hidden in and out of his words. For example, he just casually said "let's give in." Ryan pointed out Hubble Magic. If Ryan really agreed out of politeness, then Camp would definitely publicize it to prove that Ryan had joined Camp's camp.

When Faras told Ryan about this incident, Ryan slapped his thigh hard and said with some regret: "If I had known this, I shouldn't have held back. I would have sent him to meet the God of Death with a fireball, and it would have saved him." Always scheming."

Farasi shook his head with a smile, stopped Ryan and said: "That's not okay. In fact, I hate these things too, but once you really break with a certain faction, then the other factions will definitely claim that you have secretly joined. You have killed them, and attacking this camp is your act of proving your choice. At that time, you will still be trapped, and no matter how you explain it, it will be meaningless."

Ryan scratched his head and said helplessly: "I would rather face an adult red dragon than..."

Faras saw her boyfriend's face full of depression, so she explained to him: "Ryan, let me tell you a joke. It is said that when His Majesty Fernando I sent troops to pacify the entire continent, it took an army of 100,000 people. When his descendant Fernando XII becomes King, he won’t need so many people to pacify the entire continent, do you know why?”

"Ah, don't tell me the answer, let me think about it." Ryan was immediately interested in what Faras said. He used his brain to think about the answer carefully: "Is it because General Orlando is so powerful?"

"Of course not."

"Is it because of Victor's forbidden spell?"

"Oh, my silly Ryan, this is a joke. Don't think of it as a formal answer."

"Oh." After listening to Farasi's prompt, Ryan was even more puzzled. He thought for a long time, but couldn't figure out why. In desperation, Ryan had to surrender and said: "I give up, Fani, please tell me Let me answer."

Faras pursed her lips and smiled and said: "This is too simple. Just send a few hundred officials and nobles. An eloquent and chattering official is enough to be worth an adult red dragon. Hundreds of officials are hundreds of officials." Who can stop the adult red dragon? And the remaining nobles are more greedy than the last. Even the two-headed ogre is no match for them. The task of these nobles is to eat those orcs. Ration, just imagine, if there is no food and they are attacked by hundreds of adult red dragons, can the orcs still persist."

Ryan was startled, and then suddenly realized that this was what Faras’ words meant. It seems that since Fernando XII, these officials and nobles have been slowly corrupted, so there is such a joke, but , Farasi actually told such a joke in front of her. It seems that she doesn’t take this country to heart.

Ciudad Fernando, military camp

79-year-old Henikos, Fernando said out of breath: "Orlando... General Orlando... this... you... must... want... want... ahem..."

Orlando walked behind Henicos and gently patted the back of the old royal blood. The latter nodded with satisfaction. He was about to say something, but he coughed again.

After a while, Henicos regained his composure and continued: "As for the issue of the throne, this is a very important issue related to the survival of the country. We must treat it carefully... "

Orlando stood there and listened very patiently. Anyway, this holy knight often stood for several hours during training, so he was used to it. This Henicos said a few words and coughed a few times. sentence, and after two hours, he finally said all of his long speech,

Orlando still stood there calmly. It was not until Henicos desperately signaled that Orlando spoke: "What you just said is very good. I also think that the inheritance of the empire must have certain laws. However, it should be done before the empire is established. At the beginning, our great Fernando I established a rule that soldiers were not allowed to participate in politics. If anyone violated this law, he could be executed without trial."

Henicos was choked by Orlando's words. He didn't know what to say, so he kept coughing. An old man in his fifties who came with Henicos interrupted and asked: "This We all know, what we don’t know now is what your attitude is, General Orlando.”

General Orlando replied calmly: "As your great Majesty said, the army is a sharp blade in the hands of the king. It can cut off the thorns on the crown and scepter for the king, just like a sharp weapon, as long as the weapon is held In your own hands, the sharper it is, the easier it is to use. Therefore, the bounden duty of a soldier is to obey. It must not have its own thoughts. If a soldier gets involved in government affairs, it means that the sword has its own thoughts. When that happens, the next person to die by the sword may be its owner."

Henicos and his staff really couldn't find any way to get what they wanted to hear from Orlando's mouth, and after Orlando recited Fernando I's famous saying about soldiers and swords, these people could no longer I dare not say more or ask any more questions. Even though they are all of royal blood, they are all powerless after all. If Orlando turns his back on them and seizes the reason why they want to let soldiers participate in politics, then even if Orlando kills them all Even if you kill him, no one will jump out and say anything.

This is no longer just a matter of the law 200 years ago. Orlando is the highest military commander of the imperial capital. Due to the invasion of the orcs, humans recruited a large number of troops. Even after the war, these soldiers were not disbanded but concentrated. After all, soldiers with a certain degree of discipline are easier to use and have better results than ordinary civilians when it comes to rebuilding the imperial capital.

When he thought of Orlando giving an order and millions of soldiers rushing toward him with great enthusiasm, Henicos trembled all over. He started coughing rhythmically again, and under the support and tug of his companions, Quickly left Orlando's military camp,

Scenes like this are constantly being staged in all corners of the Imperial Capital. In less than ten days after the end of the Imperial Capital Defense War, those nobles, officials who fled to Seawind City in the south, and the owners of Fernando's bloodline, the succession to the throne The survivors returned to the imperial capital through the magic teleportation array.

After these people came back, they immediately found that Catherine had been crowned queen, while Luke controlled the government affairs, and Orlando was solely responsible for the military. In order to regain the so-called throne, these guys divided into several factions and kept moving to fight for their own That faction recruits people,

Queen Catherine continued to live in Luke's mansion after the war, because the entire palace had been given over to the wounded. Queen Catherine's performance before and after the entire imperial capital defense battle had deeply won the love of the imperial capital residents.

Every morning, Catherine would take the female knight Christina from Luke's mansion and walk through the streets of the imperial capital. At first, neither Luke nor Orlando were worried about Catherine's safety, but Catherine firmly refused. Catherine didn't even take the royal magicians with her, including the guards arranged by Ke and Orlando.

Every time Catherine arrived, she would give a loud speech to encourage everyone to work hard to rebuild their homes, and what she received was the cheers and support of tens of thousands of residents of the imperial capital. Although there was only one Christina beside Catherine, the people who surrounded her were There are more than a hundred thousand civilians and soldiers,

Those who tried to regain the throne thought of using the simplest way to make Catherine disappear from the world, whether it was mentally or physically. However, after the first assassination failed, no one dared to do this again. , and those unlucky assassins were first tortured by Catherine with a flame whip, then used as targets by Christina to practice their martial arts, and finally were crushed by more than half a million residents of the Imperial City. Their spirits and bodies were destroyed. Disappear in this world first,

In order to achieve their own goals, those who had the right to inherit the throne began to set their sights on Luke and others, which resulted in all kinds of ridiculous actions like before,
