Tales of Soldier - Chapter 112

[Chapter 112 (Part 2)]

A few days later, the battleships carrying Robert and Elantes stopped at the two cosmic ports in the imperial capital without warning. They were accompanied by nearly a thousand nobles who came back to see who the new master was.

Hearing that the duke and earl had arrived, the officials who were wearing mourning gowns and had been waiting outside the imperial city for a long time immediately lined up in a neat line, ready to welcome the arrival of their boss.

The princes from all over the world saw that the duke and earl arrived in the imperial capital intact, so they could only curse their incompetence, put on their mourning gowns, and prepare to go to the imperial capital. They knew that they did not stay in the imperial capital to be dutiful sons, and they would definitely be scolded by the duke, the immortal old man, when they arrived. When they thought of being pointed at them to teach them a lesson, they felt annoyed, so they all ordered the spacecraft to fly at the slowest speed. In addition to not wanting to be trained early, they also wanted to see if their subordinates had a chance to get rid of the two old guys.

And the most important point is that they didn’t tell anyone, and the princes also thought that they were the only ones who knew about it except their father. That is, the father once warned himself that when he died, he would return to the territory immediately, and when the duke and earl called themselves to go to the funeral, they should try to delay the time as much as possible. From these words, I felt that my father must have made some arrangements when he was about to die. This arrangement is best to be a big explosion, let his two brothers be killed like this, then he can ascend to the throne without any effort.

Robert and Elantes wore mourning dresses, and with a cold face, they brought the snow-white Praetorian Guards and nearly a thousand nobles who followed them on the expedition to the outside of the snow-white palace gate.

There are already two rows of tens of thousands of people standing at the gate of the city, one row of civilians and one row of military generals. Only the sound of the wind and the fluttering of flags could be heard at the entire city gate, and there was not even a single cough.

Robert and Elantes ignored the officials who bowed and saluted, and walked into the palace under the escort of the Janissaries. When the officials who were waiting saw the nobles following in, they also hurried in. However, instead of entering in an orderly manner like before, they swarmed in like robbing things. Of course, the people who were hit and trampled did not dare to say a word. Although the scene was very chaotic, they still kept silent. realm.

Robert and Elanster were in such a hurry to take out the identity certificate of the emperor’s younger brother recorded by the twelfth emperor himself to read. Originally, this certificate should have been read out when Yateste was enthroned, but Yateste didn’t know why, and he didn’t want Robert to read it out. This is the beginning of the confrontation between Robert and Artest.

The document was placed under the emperor’s throne and needed to be opened by Robert and Elanster together. After everyone entered this huge hall that could accommodate tens of thousands of ministers, they immediately took their place as usual in a court meeting. When everyone saw Robert and Elanster walking towards the empty emperor’s throne at the same time, everyone became nervous, do they want to be emperors?

Although some nobles wanted to say something to stop them, they seemed to be worried about something, so they lowered their heads without opening their mouths.

The Praetorian Guards, who had been following Robert and Elantes, stopped subconsciously when they saw the throne. Although Robert and Elantes noticed that their protective net had disappeared, they didn’t care much because they still had a protective cover that could withstand laser cannon attacks. They are very confident in the effectiveness of their protective shield, because this shield has blocked many assassinations for them.

Roberto and Elantes stood on both sides of the throne, reached out and touched the chair, the red seat cushion began to rise slowly, revealing a metal box with two sockets. The officials who saw this scene were all taken aback, how could there be such a thing under the throne? Is there an edict in there? Thinking of this, the nobles all smiled. It turned out that they were wrong. The duke and earl are indeed dedicated to the country.

Robert and Elantes took out a magnetic card from their arms and inserted it into the jack of the metal box. With a click, the box opened. When Robert and Elantes jointly took out a roll from the box When the paper-like thing still had a few cards, the people present took a deep breath and looked at the things in the hands of Robert and Elantes with light.

Robert and Elantes turned to face the officials, Robert unfolded the imperial edict that everyone present was very familiar with and used only for important matters, looked at the crowd a little excitedly, opened his mouth and said, “My colleagues, I, the lord, read it here…” Roberto said that this was interrupted by the exclamation of the Praetorian Guards: “Assassin!”

Although the Praetorian Guard jumped out from behind the screen of the throne after seeing the four figures, and rushed towards the Duke and Count, they could only call out the assassin, and could no longer call out. The officials present only saw four figures overwhelm the duke and earl, and before the screams came out of their throats, they saw four growing flames engulfing them.

The warships patrolling the outer space of the imperial capital suddenly saw a huge flame rising from the imperial capital. The flames that can be seen even in space can be imagined how powerful it is. The dutiful officers immediately sounded the alarm, started martial law, and dialed Liaise with the military. But I don’t know why, it keeps disconnecting. Dial the communication of other departments, but also disconnected and unable to connect. In desperation, they could only send a landing craft to contact them.

Soon the landing craft came back and brought unbelievable news: the palace was in ruins within a radius of hundreds of kilometers, and the headquarters of various departments built around the palace also followed the palace. All the officials who attended the funeral were all gassed, and the middle and high-level officials of the empire and most of the middle- and upper-class nobles were all gone. It can be said that the military and political officials of the empire no longer existed.

When the patrol captain heard the notification from the central computer that he had become the highest rank in the imperial capital and had to shoulder the heavy responsibility of defending the imperial capital, he couldn’t help being stunned. I’m just a lieutenant colonel. In the imperial capital, where the lieutenant general seized it, he actually became the highest military officer in the imperial capital?

And a postmaster who spent time on the farm whipping slaves because he had nothing to do on vacation. When he was informed by the central computer that he became the chief executive of the imperial capital, he could not help fainting from fright, and was killed by the beaten slave, so that his position as the chief executive of the imperial capital was taken over by his deputy.

The princes, who had only sailed less than halfway, received the news and immediately jumped up in cheers, and then nervously asked if their brothers were there. When the other party is as alive and kicking as himself, the one who can’t help cursing the other party at the same time is also his own ancestor. Immediately following, these princes immediately ordered to turn around and return to the territory. Now that all the middle and senior officials have died, the only person who can make them sit on the throne is their own strength.

Darrens and Kester are in a daze because the owner of this three-dimensional image is Olmsted in the uniform of the Federal Marshal of Wanluo! Darrens and Kester glanced at each other stupidly, and then smiled bitterly at the same time: “I didn’t expect it to be him.”

When the two sighed, the stereoscopic image continued to play. The image of Olmsted disappeared and replaced with the image of Robert. Robert said: “Don’t be surprised, the earl and I are loyal to him. Maybe you will wonder why we are loyal to an enemy country. What about the marshal? In fact, before he arrived in the Wanluo Federation, he was the beloved son of His Majesty the Twelfth Silver Eagle Empire, and the half-brother of His Majesty Artest.” Speaking of which, Robert sighed: ” And the Earl and I are the cultural and martial arts of His Highness respectively.”

Darrens and Kester nodded and thought: “It’s no wonder that you two are loyal to him. It turned out to be your apprentice.”

Of course, Robert did not know the psychological activities of the two, and continued: “His Royal Highness Olmster has been gifted and intelligent since childhood, studious, diligent, brave, kind and considerate. His outstanding political talent has won the emperor’s love and the respect and admiration of his important ministers. At this moment, His Highness has achieved far more than other princes. At the suggestion of the important ministers, His Majesty the Emperor intends to make Olmsted the crown prince. It is a pity that , Olmsted’s mother was only a woman without aristocratic status, so Olmsted could only be regarded as an illegitimate child in the royal family tree. At that time, Olmsted’s mother was also the queen, and immediately intervened and launched many assassinations Olmsted’s actions. Although they all failed, it was enough to make His Majesty realize the danger of Olmsted. In order to eliminate the hidden danger, His Majesty made concessions to the Queen, canonized Artest as the crown prince, and canonized Olmsted His Royal Highness is the emperor’s younger brother. And after the canonization, he immediately sent Olmsted to Wanluo Federation. We were able to successfully destroy the warning point and occupy the Guyunlong Galaxy. This is the credit of His Royal Highness Olmsted. That intelligence It was you who went to pick it up in person, I believe you already know that by now.”

Robert took a rest and continued: “The imperial capital is in chaos now, we need to stabilize the situation for the prince, and the identity certificate of the prince needs to be taken out and read out in front of the officials, so the matter of welcoming the prince will be handed over to us. I gave it to you, I believe you will not let me down.” The image disappeared.

Darren Skester stood there silently without saying a word, and it took a while for Darrens to say, “What do you think about this?”

Kester said: “I don’t see it much, I just find it strange. In the Duke’s mouth, the twelfth king is an emperor who is full of fatherly love and very distressed about harem battles, and also cares about the people. For this point in our country’s history. This is also recorded. However, the history of foreign countries clearly records that the twelfth emperor was a cruel, murderous and perverted emperor. The palace recruits tens of thousands of maids every year, but these maids can only see in and not out. The department in charge of court affairs in our country has records of these court ladies. During the reign of the twelfth generation, millions of court ladies were recruited, but I have never heard of any of them coming out. The palace is so big. Where have the millions gone?”

“Also, according to foreign historical records, it is said that more than 300,000 people were executed by the hands of the twelfth generation. Remember that we are talking about personal hands. Even if you kill one a day, it will take hundreds of years. How brutal the second generation was. According to the historical records of our country and foreign countries, the reign of the twelfth generation was the most violent slave riot in the history of the empire. I believe you also know how often slaves riot now, and at that time, slaves almost It was a riot every day. From this point, you can imagine how horrible the rule of the Twelfth Emperor was.”

“What’s even more terrifying is that according to the records of the empire, there were thousands of descendants and grandchildren in the twelfth generation, but after his death, there were only three princes left in the entire empire who inherited his direct bloodline, oh, and now again There is one more Olmsted. In addition, not even a princess or a grandson remains. In the death records of these princes, grandsons and princesses, there is only one reason for death: sudden illness and death. The next three princes, except Artest, the other two are neurologically abnormal, so Artest will ascend the throne without difficulty. The rumors that I woke up and shouted no, didn’t disappear until the birth of the first prince of Artest.”

Seeing that Darrens was listening intently to his words, Kester couldn’t help licking his lips and continued: “You said, would such a terrifying person be sent abroad for fear of his son being assassinated by the queen? Maybe you would think that the queen It’s so powerful. It’s so powerful that the terrifying Twelfth Emperor can’t bear him, right? Let me tell you, during the reign of the Twelfth Emperor, there was once a reporter who followed the queen of another country to visit our country. After returning, he reported a story. There is news about the violence in the silver eagle empire’s harem. That is to say, the queen that the duke said was abused by the XII so much that even reporters who were interviewing from a distance could find out what happened to her. I have also been in contact with the queen’s clansmen, and from them I know that the queen of the twelfth generation is a very kind person. And the most important point is that the queen of the twelfth generation is infertile. Artester was named after the crown prince. You said Will the queen brutally assassinate another prince for the sake of a prince who is not yet under her own name, or for a prince she does not know? I would say that the queen does not know Artest because there is no seal. Before the crown prince, in a family of thousands of people, the queen must not know about the existence of Artest.”

Darrens, who was stunned by the insider of the palace, shook his head and asked soberly: “Do you mean that the Duke is lying?”

Kester smiled and said, “The Duke did not lie about Olmsted’s identity, but I think the Duke lied about why Olmsted was sent to the enemy country.”

“Oh? You sound like you know why Olmsted was sent away? How about you talk about it?” Darrens said with great interest.

Kester pouted his lips and said, “It goes without saying, just guess. With the perverted character of the twelfth generation, even his children will be finished by him. The duke and earl, who are responsible for educating the princes in civil and military knowledge, think that Such an outstanding talent as Olmsted could not be destroyed in the hands of the XII, so he proposed to the XII that Olmsted sneak into the ambush of the enemy country. Here I want to talk about the pervert of the XII, although he treated his relatives and slaves He is ruthless, and can even be said to be a perverted play. But he is very generous to his officials, otherwise he would have been overthrown. And for this reason, the Twelfth accepted the advice of the two adults, or Said he thought it was more interesting to play with his son like this. At the time, the two adults thought that the remaining princes would soon be played to death by the XII, so they were already preparing to welcome Olmsted. Unexpectedly, when the twelfth generation was about to die, there was still a prince with a normal spirit, and he was also made a prince. In desperation, he suggested that Olmsted be canonized as the prince’s younger brother. I believe that the twelfth generation is in the canonization He passed away after Olmsted, otherwise, the matter of the Crown Prince would not have been kept secret to the extent that only the two adults and Artest would know.”

Darrens said with a smile: “That’s really good, as if you were there. Well, what should we do now? How should we go to greet His Royal Highness Olmsted, the federal marshal?”

Kester shrugged helplessly and said, “How do I know what to do? Did I shout to the whole universe ‘Marshal Olmster, we’ll pick you up to be the emperor of the Empire!’ Now, His Highness Olmsted has been arrested by the Federal Government. All we can do now is wait.”

“Wait for what?” Darrens asked curiously.

“Wait for the two adults to read the identity certificate of His Royal Highness Olmsted, and wait for His Royal Highness Olmsted to find us.” Kester finished and started to drink his own wine.

Hearing this, Darrens looked at Kester’s back thoughtfully. After thinking about something, he raised his head and showed a smile.
