The Palace of Nineveh is one of the safest places on the Lost Continent.
The highly favored commander of the Guards had his own room in this palace, adjacent to the emperor's palace. The exclusive knight attendant was laboriously dismantling the legendary armor. The armor was deformed at the waist and abdomen, and many of them were stuck. The buckle was originally movable. This made the job, which was not easy in the first place, more than a little more difficult.
The royal medical officer was examining the injuries of the Guards Commander. However, except for the waist and abdomen, which were not yet visible, there were no internal or external injuries, not even any bruises. It was completely impossible to tell that he had just experienced a battle.
But for the person involved, the mental fatigue is more serious than the internal and external injuries. No one can remain calm in the ups and downs of being on the verge of death again and again and escaping death again and again.
Moreover, when His Highness the Prince drew out the magic sword to attack people, even though it was only for a moment and he was not the main target, Old Yomel was still affected by the aura of the Abyss Lord. This is why when the three of them separated, he was not He raised his sword to fight again, but put himself on the defensive. Because at that time, he was struggling to resist the countless dark thoughts in his mind.
With a muffled groan, the armor on the waist was finally dismantled. A large piece of the chainmail originally used as lining was bitten into the flesh of the abdomen. The muscles that had been trained to be very hard had to be carefully stretched open. , to be able to pull out the chainmail. The surrounding bruises were so dark that they looked like there was no bleeding on the surface, but the inside of the stomach was probably a mess.
Seeing this, the experienced medical officer didn't hesitate. He took out a thin tube for bloodletting and inserted it into the slightly bulging belly. The thick black blood in the belly was drained out along the thin tube.
This is not a treatment method that everyone can do. Generally, bloodletting therapy involves cutting hands or feet. There are too many important organs in the abdomen. If any one is injured, the follow-up treatment will not be easy. The old medical officer said Therapy, if it is inserted too deep or in the wrong position and injures the internal organs, there will be endless troubles. Fortunately, the old medical officer's skills are strong enough and Yumel's physique is extraordinary, so he can use such a treatment method.
At this time, a sound of mountain calls and announcements came closer and closer, and the emperor of the empire, Armin Kazalnia, came to the room of the old man he trusted most to visit.
Although the old emperor's attitude towards his subordinates was gentle and kind, as a minister, forgetting his duty is nothing short of betrayal. So no matter how many times the old emperor emphasized it, Yomel still struggled to get up and salute. "Your Majesty. "
The old emperor didn't say much. He stopped the guard leader's movements with his own hands and pushed him back into the chair so that the medical officer could continue to treat the injury. The old emperor said: "Tough guy, you look pretty bad. What happened? Please tell me about it."
Yomel did not hide anything and told everything he knew. The old emperor combined the information he got from the leader of the guards on the way here and roughly deduced the cause and effect.
To be specific, the young man of the Muhashebesi family met the fourteenth son of the emperor and a magician, and the magician was regarded as the initiator of the dispute between the two princes Risa and Kawi. So the granddaughter of the old man in front of him She will lead her team to capture the magician, whether alive or dead.
Who would have known that the woman and her team who were granted permission to enter the personal guard would never return, so the old man in front of him rushed to take revenge. Unexpectedly, the revenge failed and ended up like this.
"So, who kicked those two kicks in your body?"
"Your Majesty, these are all masterpieces by His Royal Highness the Fourteenth Emperor." Old Yomel had two injuries on his body, one serious and one minor.
One is the injury sustained by the Fourteenth Prince to save himself when he was attacked by the magician at the beginning of the war.
The other serious injury was caused by the heavy kick that the Fourteenth Prince gave him at the end of the battle in order to use his strength to escape. And this kick also allowed him to escape from the battle circle and stopped the magician along the way.
continue to attack.
After learning that the two wounds on his most trusted subordinate came from his own son, the old emperor Armin had mixed emotions. He asked directly: "In this case, should I be proud of my son?"
, I’m still angry for your severe injury.”
"Be proud, Your Majesty. His Royal Highness the Fourteenth Emperor has indeed grown to an unimaginable level. At least, it is impossible for us to deal with him like the last time." Old Yomel said bluntly.
Hearing the person he trusted the most give such a comment, the old emperor was both relieved and had a headache.
Emperor Armin did not ask about the same 'thing' as last time in Yomel's mouth, and he also knew that the other party was talking about the incident where the Fourteenth Prince destroyed the Guards Corps. There are many rumors about that incident, and there are many
It is at least true; but no matter how it is spread, it is not the complete truth. At least no one can correctly explain why 10,000 people lined up to die and did not retreat until they were all dead.
The rumored reason is that because they have to guard the safety of the palace, the bodyguards cannot retreat and can only beat the fourteenth prince, who was red-eyed at the time, until he is dead. But the truth is that Emperor Armin personally gave the order and forced his
The Guards Corps had to die one after another.
Logically speaking, in a war in the cold weapon era, when the battle damage exceeds 30% but the army is still not disintegrated, it is already a rare and strong army. As long as it exceeds 30%, even if the commander insists on not retreating, the soldiers will find a way to survive on their own.
.But when the authority of the emperor and the life and death of all their families were in the hands of that supreme being, not retreating became a reminder.
However, the reason why the emperor issued such an order was to defeat the fourteenth prince who had really killed him at that time. He even did not rule out killing him!
Except for Azad, who killed the thirteenth prince who was a compatriot of his own mother, all living people inside and outside the palace at that time were his targets, including of course the emperor himself. As for the cause of the incident, there is no point in pursuing it. But the old emperor
I guess it has something to do with the fact that the Fourteenth Son had just awakened his demonic physique not long before that incident happened?
If you just want to survive, then you can let the bodyguards protect all the dignitaries and escape if someone cuts off the throne. Perhaps it is quite embarrassing for an emperor to be forced to escape from the palace, and it can even be regarded as a lifelong shame.
But what Azad did was different from a rebellion or a coup. He didn't want to rule the empire, he just wanted to destroy everything! So running away is not necessarily a bad choice.
But who can guarantee that the red-eyed killer will not be chased out? Guarantee that he will not attack ordinary people outside the palace? You must know that the servants in the palace will kill every one, and no one will hide if they are seen.
Can you pass it? Or guarantee that His Highness the Prince will not kill those nobles, or even the family members or himself of the great nobles?
It is true that the emperor of the empire has considerable authority, but this authority has not yet risen to an absolute level. Under the enfeoffment system of Midi, the so-called king or emperor is just the most powerful noble in the country. In addition, there is no divine right to the king.
The theoretical support is that compared with the emperor or king under centralized power, the authority is not at the same level at all.
Under such a premise, once someone from the royal family wantonly kills a noble... Mi Di does not like the idea of 'the king wants his ministers to die, but they have to die'. The targeted nobles betrayed them in minutes, so there is no need to discuss it. Anyway, everyone is powerful.
Reshuffle the cards, and whoever stands out will be on top. The unlucky ones will disappear.
Therefore, in order to prevent the empire from falling into civil strife and for the sake of the royal family, Emperor Armin could only make the decision to prevent the problem from going outside the palace. Let his vassals, the bodyguards, try to kill his crazy
Biological heir.
The method that was decided in a hurry was to sacrifice a large number of soldiers to consume the fourteenth prince's physical strength and strength, and finally send people to deal with him. The tactic without any tricks was to use more people to defeat the opponent head-on.
.Even so, Old Yomel who finally showed up failed to kill Azad, he just defeated him.
In other words, the fourteenth prince who has awakened the demonic constitution cannot be killed by normal methods; at least the body cannot be completely destroyed. And once the body loses its soul, the next thing that comes in may not be better than the original one.
Azad was even easier to get along with. This was the problem the emperor faced at that time.
Fortunately, Azad regained consciousness and no longer continued to chase the others with red eyes, but returned to his usual unpredictable appearance.
Also because of the destruction of the Guards Corps, this matter was too serious. Therefore, under the push of the nobles, the emperor had to order to deprive his beloved son of all rights. This was also a way to protect the royal family as a whole. When Azad came again
When he went crazy and pointed the butcher knife at other nobles, those people would not be able to regard such behavior as a reason for royal provocation and hold high the banner of rebellion.
But in fact, in the mind of the emperor who consciously moved the entire country closer to a centralized system, a strong leader like Azad was the best candidate for succession. Perhaps no one in this era can clearly explain what feudalism is and what centralization is.
But a powerful force that can fight and no one can stop is the guarantee for the implementation of all government affairs.
As for the direction in which doing this will take the country, no one can guarantee. In fact, even if we don’t do that, who can guarantee that the country will not decline for other reasons. In any case, it is better to fight than to be bullied.
, this is the universal value of Lost Land. It is also the reason why Emperor Armin Kazharnia valued his fourteenth son, even if this son once raised a butcher's knife to him.
However, what Old Yomel meant was that the old method of dealing with the Fourteenth Son was no longer useful. Although this kind of growth was within Armin's expectation, he did not expect it to be so fast. But it also gave rise to another
One question, the old emperor asked: "If that kid really grew up, how did you survive? That magician?"
Before coming here, the old emperor had already learned the general story of the matter from the head of the imperial guard. He also came to see the head of his personal guard. In addition to expressing condolences out of trust, of course he also wanted to know the first thing from the person involved.
Hand information.
The key point of this incident lies in that inconspicuous but very important magician - Guybrash Tripwood.
