Chapter 31 The Road to the Demon King(1/4)

Just as Lu Ming thought, the infantry regiment that Elizabeth chose to go to the Tianhe Gate was the First Guards Regiment of the Prague Regiment, which was her personal regiment.

The Prague Legion is one of the two major legions of the principality guarding the northern frontier.

The two legions are the two standing defense forces of the principality. The rest of the armed forces are local armed forces of the autonomous territory, militia and the like, with limited combat effectiveness and not standing armies.

The Prague Army has two infantry divisions and one light cavalry division, with a full strength of more than 30,000 men.

After all, although the Northern Czech Principality is a high-class principality, its population has dropped to about two million. It can maintain a standing army of 60,000, which is already overloaded.

Therefore, the Prague Army actually cultivates its own fields and is now preparing to set up factories. It is like a traditional Eastern military household, with generations of professional soldiers, rather than recruited mercenaries or conscripts.



It has been a few days since the small train arrived in Tianhe City, and it will still take a few days for the First Guards Regiment to assemble here.

Tianhe City has a population of more than 50,000, and there are thousands of traders. The entire small city is in the style of a border town in the Napoleonic era, with narrow streets and sparse houses of various two- and three-story brick and wood structures. The busiest streets are commercial

Street, the tax collector's office stationed by the principality is also on this street.

The City Hall and the City Council are an inconspicuous two-story wooden building next to the central square. The police station (police cavalry) and the municipal court are also in this small building.

The small train was parked in the small square, attracting many people to watch. Even in the evening, more and more citizens came to watch the excitement. The chief of police had to deploy dozens of police officers here to prevent the Countess of Czechburg, the Legion

The magical vehicle that the commander and a high-ranking female official of the province was traveling in was damaged by a crowd of spectators, and more precautions were taken to prevent the evil party close to the Northern Kingdom from causing trouble. Although there was no war in Tianhe, in the past two years, it seemed that the religion of the Northern Kingdom had been introduced. They formed

Secret organizations secretly oppose the rule of the principality here. In the Northern Czech Principality, this underground organization is called the traitor party.

It can be seen that the chief of police is under a lot of pressure. After all, there are less than a hundred police officers in the entire city. Now half of them are assigned here, and the security of other neighborhoods will be under pressure. And when the high-ranking countess comes to inspect, if the traitors cause chaos

, definitely choose this time.

Fortunately, Her Majesty Elizabeth came here without prior notice, so even if the traitors had a conspiracy, it would not happen today.

From the car window, Lu Ming looked at the police sergeant named Paul who was wearing a tall black hat. Seeing his anxious face, Lu Ming smiled, this guy was very interesting.

He still has a little secret.

However, Lu Ming was thinking about all kinds of things.

In the language of the Lionheart Empire, countess and female high official are separate words. This is also because the patriarchal society is deeply rooted.

Of course, if you become a Countess, you can't just treat her like a woman. After all, if you get married, the man will marry into your family, and the descendants will inherit the bloodline and surname of the female noble family.

On the other hand, there is no separate word for legion commanders if they are women. This is because female commanders are very rare in the history of the empire.

"Master, Master Hui Yan noticed abnormal fluctuations in the crowd and has already locked the target." Diba Ya came to Lu Ming's side.

"Master Wisdom Eyes" is Guiying who has transformed into a brain. The slave collar is connected to it and has many functions. It also has a radar-like scanning function, and there are various types of scanning, such as energy fields, not the third party.

Objects that can be created by human technology in the mainland, human life forms that have a universe within them, weapons that can cause great damage in this world, etc., will all be marked as abnormal.

It sounds like the anomaly discovered this time is some kind of energy field.

At this time, Di Baiya's collar emitted a screen of light, which was an image of the crowd watching the excitement outside. Among them, a middle-aged man who looked ordinary was marked as a dangerous object. He was probably in his forties, and he should be wearing

Clothes and pants similar to a tuxedo, but very worn and patched.

Lu Ming nodded slightly: "You handle it."



When he woke up the next morning, after washing and having breakfast, Lu Ming found a dark necklace on his hand. The pendant of the necklace was in the shape of a god holding the sun with both hands. The whole pendant gave off a strange aura.

This is the object emitting abnormal energy fluctuations scanned by the brain.

Last night, Lu Ming traveled around the first and second continents, while Di Baiya led several assassins to destroy the local traitor's lair like lightning.

He followed the man with the evil god's necklace hidden in his clothes and found his party lair.

Several key members of the traitor party discussed plans to assassinate Countess Elizabeth, but they were all captured by Debaya.

The pendant of this necklace is the image of the northern sun god. In the Lionheart Empire, he belongs to the evil god.

Obviously this is not an ordinary pendant. When Debaya and others suddenly appeared, the holder of this necklace held the necklace and muttered something, and a black three-headed vicious dog appeared in the void, but Debaya's slave necklace emitted light waves, and it was very bright.

Disintegrate it quickly.

As a result of brain analysis, the image of the vicious dog at that time was only scary, not condensed into an entity. It was just a refraction of light that caused an illusion to the naked eye.

When Debaya pulled off the necklace from the traitor leader's neck, he was also horrified.

According to his confession later, this "artifact" cannot be seen by mortals, so he dared to wear it openly on his chest.

Lu Ming looked at the necklace and nodded. Indeed, Prince Styx or his servants and cronies had just added some small magic. If it were a real magical power, it would be difficult to activate it in this area where Prince Styx's divine origin was extremely rejected.

However, even though it is only a small method, its magic is enough to confuse mortals and make them believe in the True God of the North.

This is also the reason why there are more and more traitor parties in the border areas. The leaders of the traitor party branches probably all have this so-called "artifact", and most of the supporters they have gathered for development have also seen the "miracles" performed by the artifact.

.

Of course, their own circumstances are also key.

For example, the leader of the traitorous party in Tianhe City originally had a wealthy family, but suffered great changes and fell into disrepute. He was dissatisfied with society. As a result, he was bewitched by northern missionaries and became a believer in a northern sect.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Both the north and the south believe in the sun god, but they all believe that the sun god they believe in is the true god.

"Oh, that Chief Paul, I want to meet him," Lu Ming said.

Debaya bowed, accepted the order and left.



In less than half an hour, Chief Paul stood respectfully in front of Lu Ming, holding the tall black round police hat on his chest. Before getting into the car, he took off his hat, as if he was entering the palace of the most noble noble.

Mansion.

"Master Yuanhou, I originally wanted to express my gratitude to you, but I didn't dare to invite you..." Sheriff Paul said respectfully.

Last night, Debaya handed over all the prisoners to him.

Paul was greatly shocked. Who would have thought that Lord Yuan Hou had just arrived in the local area and eradicated the local traitorous party organizations and killed several leaders in one go?

What he said was true. Although he wanted to express his gratitude, the Marquis of Yuan was a big shot from the imperial capital. I heard that he had the same status as the Duke and the Lord. The Lord even asked for help from him, including the female high-ranking official of the province and the Countess of Czechburg.

How could he be called uncle by a little night watchman in a remote place?

"Oh, I heard that you are a winged human being?" Lu Ming looked at Paul and asked suddenly.

Paul's eyes widened immediately and his face was full of horror. No one in the local area knew about his secret, and his useless burden had been cut off at a very young age.

But despite this, he has remained single to prevent the people closest to him from discovering the huge scar on his back.

But at this moment, when he heard the sudden identification of the young nobleman in front of him, he was extremely shocked, and a huge fear surged in his heart. His mind was buzzing, as if he was having the most terrible nightmare.

Lu Ming smiled and waved his hand: "Don't be afraid, this secret will not be leaked! Well, when did you come here?"

"I, ten, ten years ago..." Paul said casually, even his own voice seemed very distant, and he just responded to the other party's questions mechanically.

"Oh..." Lu Ming glanced at him, "You are about thirty years old now, which means you were already a teenager when you came to this place. Did you escape directly from the north?"

"yes……"

"Then you remember what happened in the Asuka Principality. Tell me about it."

The Principality of Yiren is still very mysterious to the Lionheart Empire.

Although Zhinao sent out drones for reconnaissance, they did not go deep into the hinterland of the Asuka Principality. Moreover, they mainly operated on the fringes. The topographic maps they photographed did not involve its social structure, folk customs, etc.

Paul finally looked up and saw Lu Ming's kind smile, feeling a little relieved.

Although I don't know what the final fate is waiting for me, I can only resign myself to fate, let alone deceive the Lord Yuan to avoid self-defeating.

"I, I used to live across from the Tianhe Gorge. Our family is all hunters. There was a sudden flash flood thirteen years ago..." He glanced at Lu Ming and said, "Marquis Yuan probably didn't know that at that time, there were heavy rains on both sides of the Tianhe Gorge day and night.

, the disaster was very serious, so when I escaped, even though I was helpless, I was still taken in by this town, thinking that I was a disaster victim from other places."

Lu Ming nodded slightly.

"When the flash flood broke out, I saw my parents swallowed by the mudslide. I was also swept away by the flood and rushed into the Tianhe River. I must have been lucky. When I woke up, I was already on this side of the Tianhe River. I vaguely remember that I caught it.

A piece of dead wood..."

"After hiding in the mountains for a while, one day I hunted furs and sold them here. I gradually became familiar with the people here. Later, I went to live in the city and was recruited as a night watchman. Until now..."

"When I first came to this side of the river, I wanted to swim back several times, but in the end I ran out of energy. Once I almost drowned in the Tianhe River, so I had no choice but to accept my fate!"

Looking at Lu Ming: "Lord Yuanhou! I am really not a spy. You may not believe what I said, and I don't believe it myself, but they are all true..."

"I believe it!" Lu Ming smiled.

Paul was stunned.

"If you were a spy, you would naturally have prepared a set of excuses after being exposed. How could you have such a lame story? But real things are often not so bizarre." Lu Ming said with a smile.

It is natural to know at a glance whether an ordinary person like this is lying.

"Then..." Paul hesitated, wanting to ask about his fate and what the Marquis of Yuan was going to do with him, but he felt that it was not his place to ask.

"Do you still want to go back to your hometown? Tell the truth." Lu Ming stared at him.

Paul was a little hesitant. He knew he should say categorically that he didn't want to do it now.

Here, for more than ten years, his life has been very comfortable, and his material conditions are far better than the life he once had as an Orion in his hometown.
