When the interior of the Dragon Realm fell into a dilemma of water and heat, the Baier Capital, which was separated by a wall, this ancient capital that has gone through countless years has fallen into silence, or, it should be said that it is an artificial purge.
Different from the silence of the past, after the defeat of the Eastern Front, the royal knights in the capital made a big move, imposing martial law and curfew on the entire city, and those princes who took advantage of the opportunity to make trouble were dragged to the streets and beheaded one by one to show the public, and it seemed that they had changed jobs. The good old "Scorpion King" Oros XIII once again let the world see his viciousness.
"Helent will be the new emperor."
When the Eastern Front was defeated and the wind and rain were swaying, the old emperor, despite all the pressure, reiterated his opinion to the compatriots and the great lords.
Oppose face to face? kill.
Behind the scenes? kill.
The prince colluded with the fief? kill.
Just complaining to servants and friends and family at your own mansion? Like, kill.
The old emperor who always wore a smile on weekdays, the kind old man who could laugh when he was assassinated, was just drinking tea in his study room, smiling and saying "kill" one by one, but he was equally crazy. The royal knights also carried out the killing tasks in silence, even if it was to hang children under the age of ten on the city wall, even if it would put the honor of the knight and the spirit of chivalry under the feet.
"Anyone who doubts Helent's succession, regardless of identity, age, or merit, will be killed without mercy."
This is the will of the old emperor, and the royal knights silently carried out this will, even if the people of Baier could not understand the sudden crazy behavior of the old emperor, and could not look directly at the sudden killing, especially because of the recent collusion with the prince The slaughtered protons of the great lords have caused the great nobles of the border to fall into rage.
Seeing that this continues, if the jihad coalition and the undead empire do not fight, Baier will go into civil strife first. What was the wise old emperor doing in the past? Is he destroying the empire he has built over the years
Even standing next to Helent, the always neutral dragon knight could not understand the sudden madness of the old emperor, but due to the primary loyalty of chivalry, he could not stop it, but everyone knew that this was not normal and could not last long.
I am afraid that, even if Helent succeeds in this way, as long as the old emperor falls, the frenzied killing and the rebound and revenge caused by the oppression will also bring him to a bleak end.
The fall of the Hand of Miracle, while making the world amazed, sad, and helpless, has helped Helent and Bayer a lot.
The jihadist coalition, which was becoming a worsening tumor, was stopped, and the irresistible will of the God of Light was stopped. Even if it was only for a short moment, Estrada used his own sacrifice to win the victory of mortals. Er also lost the imminent sword threat.
"...The old emperor should calm down like this."
But some things exceeded everyone's expectations. The old emperor not only did not stop, but intensified.
Taking advantage of the crisis to drive up prices and hoard the odd ones? kill.
Those who are closely related to the great nobles who are enfeoffed and have kinship? kill.
Nothing has been done, but with a high power, it is possible to have an influence on the future succession of Helent? kill.
Charity looked at the old emperors whose adopted sons had been killing each other for 20 years, but still said the word "kill" with a smile, watching the blood flow into the imperial capital.
Even after Helent, another party to the incident, ran over to quarrel with him, he still did not change much, but Helent himself stayed out of the house.
"... If the future Bayer wants to survive, Helent can only inherit the throne. As for how he came up, it doesn't matter at all. As for myself... Hehe, just wait and see."
There are only a few people in the whole country who can approach Oros' study and listen to him slowly describe his thoughts.
At this time, the old emperor was listening to the report of the spy chief and the knight commander.
"... Judging from the information collected by our spies, since we couldn't figure out your current purpose, Duke Caffy and Earl of Berland have both postponed the integration of private troops. It seems that they are worried that they will be your top priority when they are in the limelight. Goals, but some things are no different from what we predicted in the past, as long as you...you 'leave', they will definitely rebel, and now it's just a pause."
"Oh, those old guys. Forget it, how is the daily trade situation in the country. Are the prices still about double?"
"It's very good. After a group of profiteers died, they are now much more stable. They have dropped from twenty-five times the peak to three times. In addition to your high-pressure policy and the personal letter of His Royal Highness Helente Promise, most of them have secretly pledged allegiance to His Highness, as long as they pull out their minions, what can the merchants who have no status do anything, at least in a short time."
"My other boys who don't live up to their expectations?"
"All those who may have made threats have been executed, the rest have been announced to disassociate from the Baier royal family, and all the princes are under monitoring. But what corresponds to this is your reputation... People have already called you White Dragon. ."
"White dragon?"
"… the white dragon that eats the seeds."
Oros nodded but didn't ask further questions. He didn't even look at the information. He just lowered his head and drank tea. For him who had already abandoned everything, what kind of slander was to him. What he was about to do next would be even worse. For the sake of the "big plan", the incomprehension and slander of outsiders are nothing.
The old man just slowly closed his eyes and didn't ask any more questions. Everyone else stepped back, but when the study fell into peace again, the three people in the secret room came out. In a sense, this The three are the core layer of the entire Bayer now.
The Pope Emoye I of the Southern Church, who also served as Baier’s court administrator, was the brother of Oros who shared his life and death, and he was also the object of his most trust, but he controlled the entire Southern sect and Baier’s religious power.
"… Thanks for your hard work."
"Haha, it's already better than expected, the church is still bothering you, there is the sacrifice of the hand of miracles."
At this time, the old Pope Emoyer was also full of exhaustion. The debut battle that the Southern Sect had given him a lot of attention was hit hard. If it wasn't for Estrada's sacrifice to stabilize people's hearts, I am afraid that the Southern Sect would have a big problem.
Another old mage wearing a purple violet cloak, called "The Fool", is also the president of the Bayer Mage Guild, but he used to be very low-key, and few people saw his true face, and at this time he also showed his true face. His face was that of a silver-haired old man with nothing special, but if the heretic judges of the Holy Church saw it, I am afraid that all the mad dogs would be dispatched.
But if Roland is here, I am afraid there will be a lot of room for communication with him. Yes, he is Thrace, the mad mage Thrace, the fool who "knows too much and speaks it out".
"On the Mage Guild, and the communication with the Mage Country, I am afraid you will be troubled. We let you come back in violation of your oath, and..."
"I know, needless to say, some things are destined to escape, and since you all risked a gamble, how could this old man back down. It's just... It's a pity that Estrada was forced to do so back then. When I swore to go into seclusion, I never thought that this day would come."
The old mage who was regarded as a lunatic had neat and shiny silver hair, and his gorgeous robe was rare among mages. At this time, thinking of the end of his old friend, Thrace shook his head, his face full of unbearable.
"It's a pity, a pity, a pity."
In the end, he can only make such an evaluation.
"Teacher, my condolences and change, we are all the same, in a sense, he is just a step ahead, which should be gratifying..."
Perhaps not many people know that Oros once studied in the Tower of Clouds when he was young, and even became a disciple of the reclusive Archmage Thrace with the help of a caring person.
"… Your Majesty Oros."
And the last person approached, but it was not Baier at all, but...
"Time is up."
On Lilith Milan's arm, the original dazzling brilliance of the emerald has begun to dissipate, and the cracks have gradually expanded on it. Soon, this precious twin cat's eye green will become a worthless residue. .
And this pair of special magic gems processed by gemology, one of them is destroyed and the other is destroyed. This causal connection can break through all blockades. It is an extremely rare and precious communication device. The finished product It takes at least half a knight's regiment of massive gold coins, and being able to use such a one-time communication device is enough to illustrate the seriousness of the current event.
And when the emerald in front of him becomes waste, there is only one possibility. Roland in the Dragon Realm crushes another gem, and the whole "big plan" will be initiated by Oros in front of him.
At this time, Lilith Milan is not only the spokesperson of Roland and the Church of the Law. The familiar gorgeous court ladies and royal emblems undoubtedly show the fact that she has returned to the Baier royal family!
"Lilith... Sister, I'm sorry to trouble you, please, before Helent truly matures, as the only pure royal family in the Baier royal family, please temporarily serve as its regent."
Lilith Milan... No, it should be said that the eldest princess and regent of Lilith nodded. If she could, she didn't want to get into trouble at all, but the person in front of her convinced her with her own ideas and sacrifices. , made her feel that at this point in time, if she couldn't do anything, she might be sorry for her deceased relatives.
Looking around, the old emperor sighed. He knew that this was probably the last day he saw this study and his friends.
"...I didn't expect that I had to endure it all my life. You said, I'm not a qualified emperor."
"Of course, my majesty. Without you, there would be no Bayer. Maybe the night will be very long. Maybe countless mad dogs will come out and bite your corpse. will spread again on this land."
The old Pope, the old butler bowed slightly, but there were tears in the squinting old eyes.
"Oros, why bother with the views of those fools, I'm always proud of you, old man."
Threston, who is not good at words, paused and nodded in a positive tone.
"I know you don't care about these false names, but I do think you are amazing, even greater than me."
Being able to get the affirmation of his mentor and old friends, the old emperor smiled gratified. Maybe the world will not be able to understand his choice, but it is enough to have a confidant in life, and it is not enough to have the understanding of these two relatives.
"...Enough, for the sake of the mortal world, let me destroy all the gates of the dragon world."
The gate of the dragon world? Yes, the gate to the dragon world, if all the gates and dimensional coordinates leading to a different plane are lost, the other plane will also lose its trace in the eyes of the main plane, and destroy all the dragon world. The door also means that the Dragon Race will lose its three major gathering places, and it also means that the entire main plane will lose its connection with that other plane.
This is impossible in ordinary planes. After all, I don’t know how many scattered connections there are. However, in order to control this plane, the dragons also maintained all the gates of dimensions and transmission points, and that All three teleportation points are in Baier! It is even guarded by the Dragon Knight and the Dragon Clan... Yes, Yi Wenli is one of the guards and the strongest guard, but obviously, the Dragon Clan chose the wrong person.
It takes a lot of time to re-establish a connection with an alien plane, at least two or three years. However, the recovery of the Titan is imminent. Once the dragon family loses reinforcements, it means that all the dragons living in the dragon world will face death, which is definitely beyond the whole The dragon's expectation, the dragon's anger will inevitably come, and the choice of Helent as the next emperor, perhaps the reason is far simpler than expected, just because he may be accepted by the dragon blood and keep the country.
As for this person who committed such an incomprehensible crime, he will naturally become the target of revenge by the Dragon Clan, and even because of "the lost Roland and the mercenary group of the Absolute Gentlemen Alliance", the northern countries will also turn against Bayer, and the most dangerous However, under the anger of the dragons being betrayed, if they are not willing to just use Oros to vent their hatred, then the entire Bayer may usher in the doomsday of destruction.
At the risk of imminent destruction, Baier and Oros will not get any benefit from doing such an evil act. On the contrary, the dragons who were originally allies will become mortal enemies, and the original allies of the northern countries, at least on the bright side. Will become a "mortal enemy", then, what is he for? Just to let the Dragon Realm become a hunting ground for Titans and let Baier get rid of this time bomb? How stupid and short-sighted, Oros will be the stupidest emperor ever.
"A Fool? Oh, it's really worthy, mentor, maybe I will become a 'Fool King' in the future."
"No, other people think I'm a wise man, I just want to remind myself that I'm just a fool who thinks he's smart. But you see too far, and you're about to be seen by fools as fools. It's a testament to your wisdom."
Perhaps, for the conscientious person, let a foolish conspiracy fail in the sunshine, and let themselves be hanged on the gallows, just to hide a more hidden conspiracy.
"The world of mortals, unfortunately, I didn't see the possibility of him with my own eyes."
In the murmur, Oros couldn't help but think of the deep conversation he had with Roland some time ago. At that time, the old emperor spoke like this.
"Roland, actually, I've always liked your statement on the teachings of the southern sects 'The world belongs to mortals, and the high gods are just some hypocritical fanatics'..."
When one party made a stand and opened up, the communication between the two parties was much easier. Even Roland himself was surprised by the other party's abilities and goals, and immediately concluded a blood covenant with him.
After the secret talk all night, Oros handed over the plan that he had prepared for more than ten years to Roland, but Roland perfected it again on top of his plan, and finally, the so-called "big plan" came into being.
"Is it a big plan? As expected of the strongest conspirator in Bayer's three hundred years, I really dare to think. But if this plan is really successful, I'm afraid it would be right to call him the wisest king in a thousand years."
This was Roland's evaluation of Oros at that time. At this time, the wisest king of the millennium did not know if there was any, but Oros, who destroyed his reputation step by step and handed his neck to the guillotine, did not hesitate. No regrets, no timidity to put himself on the gallows.
"...everything, for the mortal world, everything, for the real...heaven and hell!"
