The weak water is three thousand. Others drink it from a ladle, but I always drink it in one gulp.----------------Old Liu said.
"Sure enough, a hero comes from a boy."
This was the first sentence His Majesty the King said when he summoned Liu Zhenshao.
Undoubtedly, His Majesty King Grek Thrall is an extremely punctual king. The Alligator warrior informed Liu Zhensha that he had made it clear that the king would receive His Majesty the Divine Comedy Shaman alone on the sundial in the center of the arena in half an hour.
After the shadow slanted past a certain mark, His Majesty the King opened the door of the box on time.
His Majesty the King asked the four Tel Aviv berserkers who were accompanying him to exit the box. He also raised his hands to stop several Behemoths in the box from getting up to salute, and sat down opposite Liu Zhenhan.
Old Liu's arms were bare, and his porcupine skin shaman robe was open, exposing the knotted muscles of half his body. He held a glass wine glass in his hand. He had just drained the red wine in the glass, and it was covered with wine juice.
His beard was stained and turned red like blood.
His Majesty the King actually opened the door and walked in without even announcing the news. This caught everyone in the box off guard. Helen, who was familiar with etiquette, was also at a loss for a moment. Guoguo, the Second Young Master, and the Third Young Master were all acting up in secrets.
They were lying on the large wine cabinet, stuffing glass wine glasses into their belly pockets. They were the only ones who were not frightened by the sudden appearance of the king.
The little parrot has been sick since yesterday. It lazily nestled in Joan's arms. It barely rolled its eyelids and glanced at the king who came in through the door. As soon as it opened its beak, it was pinched by the little nun Joan.
"All of you, stand down." Liu Zhenshao waved to the guards and maids around him.
"This is the "Knight Medal of the God of War" that you and Helen deserve. The road to the Holy Mountain of Hyjal was opened by you. This kind of meritorious service is worthy of this medal." His Majesty the King placed a brocade box on the coffee table.
, opened the lid of the box, and on the booth covered with red firefox leather cushions lay two diamond-shaped gold medals hanging on silver chains. This medal was embossed with the image of the Behemoth beast.
"Your Majesty, this is what we should do." Liu Zhancheng said hypocritically. Beamon's "Knight Medal of the God of War" is only awarded to warriors with outstanding merits. This is what the Swan Priest promised Liu Zhenhan before, but Liu Zhenhan himself had almost forgotten it.
He already has a "Southern Cross Medal" and a "Yunhui Medal". It doesn't matter whether he gets other medals or not. He lied to the girl that he never needed to wear medals like a prince.
"Regarding Feilengcui's legendary battle against foreign aggression, it was already too late when I received the notice. The temple has completely blocked your information. To avoid suspicion, we did not take the initiative to contact His Majesty Richard. I hope you can meet with me.
." His Majesty the King motioned Helen, who was still standing, to sit down: "If it weren't for Fox and I being close friends, maybe when you two showed up today, I wouldn't even know where you two came from."
"Your Majesty has many things to do, and it doesn't matter whether you know us or not." Helen said tactfully.
Liu Zhencheng smiled and said nothing. Feilengcui was too remote. It was located on the south bank of the Sanggan River. There were no other noble fiefs around. If it hadn't been for the deliberate publicity after the defense war, with the king's
Noble. Apparently there is no possibility of knowing a remote fiefdom of a small barony.
"Feilengcui's defense measures are still very tight. I once secretly sent a "Flying Eagle Letter" to some royal spies in the Northeast Province, asking them to approach Feilengcui, but they were attacked by dozens of heads dozens of miles away.
The mastiffs were driven away." His Majesty the King smiled lightly, looking very pleased.
"I encountered several unlucky assassinations in the Human Principality of Dolot. Once, an assassin dug a tunnel and entered the post house where I lived. The corridor of the post house was made of wood.
The assassin was staying under the wooden board and was preparing to attack me." Liu Zhenzhen laughed: "At that time, I had a group of Behemoth warriors from the East. One of them penetrated the assassin's head with a spear through the wooden board. This assassin
He was a high-level thief, but he forgot one thing. There were many mosquitoes hiding in the dark wooden mezzanine. It was the bursts of slight chirping that cost him his life------things from the outside world can never
Integrating into the original environment, my Majesty, Feilengcui will never let any outsider come into contact with the core secrets at any time."
"That is to say, in addition to the strength you have shown, you also have hidden strength, right?" His Majesty the King nodded slyly: "In this regard, you are very similar to your mentor, Mr. Mourinho.
"
"You also know that Mr. Mourinho's strength is extraordinary?" Liu Zhenzhen was surprised for a while, but then he realized how stupid his words were. The Swan Priest was indeed very powerful on the surface, but his potential
It is absolutely impossible for anyone to know his strength. Even Liu Zhenzhen only thinks that he has a little exposure to the inside story. He thinks that His Majesty the King is most likely telling lies.
"This is not a secret in the first place." His Majesty the King said nothing. Once he spoke, he said nothing surprising: "Since the Mengke and Warenpole tribes rebelled and were forced to retreat to the Danube Wilderness, the Behemoth Kingdom
, in our kingdom, the word "independence" is no longer a new word. There are strong signs that the mysteriously disappeared Medusa family most likely broke away from the kingdom and chose their own.
Developing alone, there are very few Zerg Behemoths left, so it is naturally impossible to have this idea. But whether the Bird Behemoths have this idea is unknown. After all, during the Battle of Hyjal, our Orc Behemoths did maintain their strength, and
The losses suffered by the Bode tribe were too heavy. Although I am an orc Behemoth, I still want to say something fair and admit this fact."
Gotani's face suddenly turned pale. His Majesty the King said this, making it clear that the Smai clan wanted to be independent.
Not only Gotani, but even Helen and Liu Zhanzhen were a little confused. They never dreamed that His Majesty the King would be so direct. But, tell them this, the King
What does Your Majesty mean?
"Look at your appearance. You can't bear such a small secret. How can you claim to be a genius priest?" His Majesty the King straightened his back. There was an aggressive maleness in his narrowed pupils. This look.
Like a majestic army on the top of the mountain, blown by the breeze, he opened his sleepy eyes and looked at the yellow sheep relaxing on the grassland below the mountain.
"Your Majesty, the news you gave is really shocking. There is no need for us to know these inside stories." Old Liu smiled bitterly. In front of His Majesty the King, Liu Zhenshao felt that he felt similar to getting along with Elder Andulan.
He can always control the rhythm of talking to you and guide your thoughts, but he is always like an impossible puzzle.
"It's nothing. You two are already qualified to know all this. In fact, these things cannot be regarded as core secrets. In your eyes, they are secrets. At the top of our six nobles, this is nothing at all.
Big secret. The lords of the Bode tribe have always been weak. Many years ago, the Smai tribe drove out the Chikin tribe and the bird-man Behemoth from the Bode tribe. This has been proven! Geniuses like Jose are unparalleled.
There will only be one every year or even tens of thousands of years. If every Simai Lord has half of his ability, the most powerful person in the Di Behemoth Kingdom now should be Swan Behemoth. We all know his strength. We don’t have it.
I would despise him for this idea." His Majesty the King tapped his generous palm with the golden scepter in his hand, and glanced at Gotani beside him: "Little Nini, don't have any psychological burden.
When I was young, the only Behemoth I could see in the entire Behemoth Kingdom was your father, Jose Mourinho. Before I stepped onto the throne, I fought with your father. The two of us came from the south.
, one from the north, let’s go to the human country together.”
Gotani hesitated, unable to say a word.
Liu Zhensha and Helen also felt that they had nothing to say. They did not expect that Mr. Mourinho traveled around the human world in his youth. It turned out to be because of the bet with His Majesty the King. It seemed that His Majesty the King was also fierce enough, so he just left the human world.
Climbed the Taimulaya Snow Mountain.
"Now there is one more person that I can see, and that is you." His Majesty the King's eyes fixed on Liu Zhenshaan and he said word by word.
"My nickname in the Northeast Temple is Prodigal Son, and many people regard me as an idiot." Seeing the king praising himself so highly, Liu Zhencheng was quite embarrassed and a little shy.
"Even if you are a real idiot, as long as you have received the wisdom enlightenment from the priests, if he still treats you as an idiot, then he is an out-and-out idiot." His Majesty the King knocked on his head: "This is also true.
No wonder, there are always more mediocre people in this world, and there are very few smart people like me."
It was obviously a very arrogant statement, but when His Majesty the King said it, it was so appropriate. Liu Zhencheng began to feel that Mo'er's words were very reasonable. After these short conversations, how could he dare to do so because of His Majesty the King's words?
His appearance is relatively ordinary, which brings out the slightest bit of contempt.
"Thank you for the compliment." Liu Zhenzhen felt a little overwhelmed by the compliment.
"But Richard, your situation is different from Jose's." His Majesty Greg Sal smiled faintly: "Although the Smai people are hereditary nobles, they are not a powerful group. Swan is not a powerful race. What he can do now
We can only do our best to create an atmosphere of dominance and prohibition in the fief, and form an autonomous domain. I personally do not object to this approach. In fact, many big nobles do the same, but no one likes Jose who can’t stand the current situation in Behemoth.
He has some bad habits and just wants to be openly independent. When Jose was young, he had some painful experiences that you don’t know about. Have you seen his followers? There is not a Behemoth warrior among them! Jose and I didn’t know each other for a day or two.
Yes, I know he is a principled Behemoth. Although he has resentment in his heart, he will never fall out with the country because of this reason. When Behemoth encounters danger, I firmly believe that he will definitely be the first one.
Behemoth, stand up! But your situation is different. I heard that when you fought with my son, your followers even wore Crown of Thorns Armor, which had to make me alert."
Liu Zhencheng frowned and turned the glass cup in his hand without saying a word. He really couldn't understand what His Majesty the King meant. Why did he use Mourinho to make matters worse? What excitement did the old swan have when he was young?
"Richard, our kingdom has always had a huge flaw in the political system from ancient times to the present, and that is the aristocratic recruitment system. If a noble has a lot of money and a lofty status, then this noble can
There are endless recruitments in the territory. Theoretically, as long as there is enough money, it is possible to form a private army that exceeds the country's regular army." His Majesty the King smiled contemptuously: "The Munks are human beings.
Although they have been separated from Behemoth for thousands of years, all their current systems are actually derived from our Behemoth. Whether it is the intrigues of the powerful or the class system, they are almost the same. It is undeniable that they have also improved. Since centralization
Human beings can implement policies efficiently. This is the biggest shortcoming of our Behemoth. Although Behemoth’s monarchy is the highest, it is restricted by the Presbytery and the Temple. The monarchy has been emptied of a large part of its rights. As for Behemoth’s power,
The ten-year trial, this is purely a useless policy. It seems fair and in the name of the master, but in fact it is the most idiotic. Using force and wisdom to compete for the throne, what does this have to do with governing the country? If you are good at martial arts and smart, you can govern the country.
It will definitely work? Even if it works, what can a king do in just ten years?"
"I agree with you." Liu Zhancheng nodded. The ten-year king's term is actually the most nonsense. In the current Behemoth Kingdom, why do the major families have so much power? The key is because the king changes frequently.
This is a loophole. His Majesty Grek Sal has been the king for more than 20 years. This situation is relatively good. It would have been unimaginable before.
"Richard, although humans are very smart and they know how to centralize monarchy, the flaw in the aristocratic recruitment system has still not been completely changed. I wonder if you have read "A Brief History of the Medici Dynasty", a book that introduces the human kingdom.
The Medici family was once a noble of the great Phoenician Empire. After more than a hundred years of development, the number and quality of their private soldiers completely exceeded the army that King Phoenician VI could control, and they overthrew the Phoenician dynasty in one fell swoop.
, established the new Medici Empire by himself, until two hundred years ago, this empire was overthrown by the Francisco family." His Majesty Greg Sal's eyes flashed with wisdom: "You understand what I mean.
Really, Richard?"
"All the mines in the Behemoth Kingdom are state-owned. Even if the nobles want to recruit troops on a large scale, it is impossible to have matching ordnance and equipment. Your Majesty, your doubts are unnecessary. Richard and I are both clergy. Although we and Doluo
The Sherpa family of the Principality has signed an agreement to open a weapons shop, but we will never have any objections." Helen immediately stood up and said to His Majesty the King in the most solemn tone: "Your Majesty, please use
If you evaluate Mr. Mourinho, you should also evaluate us, because we are also Behemoths!"
"I believe you, child." His Majesty the King laughed loudly and waved for Helen to continue sitting down: "The main reason is that your Crown of Thorns Armor is too sensational. In fact, it is not easy to rebel. If all
People's lives are very stable. Even if you recruit enough soldiers, I'm afraid no one will be willing to follow you. If the civilians live a hard life, the decadent dynasty deserves to be overthrown."
"It is impossible for a rebellion to occur in the Behemoth Kingdom. At most, there will only be newly rising noble forces who want to join the king's powerful class. Once this force is large enough, it is entirely possible to achieve this goal." His Majesty the King was very happy.
He looked at Liu Zhenshao seriously: "I summoned you two alone this time. In addition to conferring honors, another purpose is to tell you to stay away from all circles of right and wrong! Don't think I am alarmist. There are many similar stories in history.
For upstarts like you, because of your outstanding strength, perhaps intentionally or unintentionally, they are all involved in the fringes of the upper echelons of power. Do you know their final fate?"
"For example, Platini, right? Your Majesty?" Liu's shocked eyes met the king directly.
"Strong force is one thing, but making waves in the political whirlpool is another. It's easy for an old noble with deep roots and a long history of disciples to discredit or completely disappear an upstart. Please pay attention to me.
The wording is to make people stink, not necessarily to win!" His Majesty Greg Sal came closer and did not answer the question. He just stared at Old Liu: "There are many ways to make others quit the game circle. Richard, you have super power.
The sacrifice of a demon pet, but this does not bring you any advantage in politics. You seem to be very good at using violence. If you want to use violence and vulgarity to get involved in politics, the old Jianghu people will be very lucky to have met you.
Such an idiotic opponent."
"I never thought about getting involved in your circle." Liu Zhencheng really couldn't laugh or cry. He has no interest in things like power. Every Feilengcui is managed by Elder Andulan for him. If you give it to him again,
In a country, Lao Liu felt that the only thing he could do was to mess with the harem.
"In the current kingdom, any lower-ranking noble with a little bit of personal strength must join a force. This is a very helpless multiple-choice question. I know you can't help yourself." His Majesty the King smiled and said: "I see you
You actually dared to contradict your patron, the Pope, to your face. I knew you were a complete idiot. If it weren't for your idiotic performance, I might not have summoned you alone today. I asked the queen to accept Helen as his heir.
Women are enough to balance the relationship."
"I seem to have offended all the nobles who should be offended, including Quentin, the chief of the Presbytery, His Holiness the Pope, and Prince Richard." Liu Zhenzhen looked irrelevant: "Your Majesty, it stands to reason that you and I
My son, Prince Richard, has a conflict, so there is no need for you to remind me today. What is the reason that makes you..."
"How can a sapling grow into a towering tree without going through wind and rain? How can a young person grow into a pillar of talent without encountering some setbacks?" His Majesty the King smiled faintly: "You and Richard are just two children fighting. Could it be that the child
When he loses a fight, his father has to help him fight back for it to count? If he doesn’t teach him a lesson, how can he know that there are mountains beyond the mountains and there are people beyond the mountains?”
Liu Zhenhan, Helen, Gotani, and Mo'er were all stunned.
"I am moved by your generosity. I'm sorry, but I judged a gentleman with a villain's heart." Liu Zhenzhen said seriously.
"It's because I have too many children, and it's better to discipline them sparingly. The original marriage was... ah..." His Majesty Grek Sal sighed: "Reforming the existing shortcomings is not something I can take for granted.
Yes, it’s a pity that I realized this truth a little late, and the price I paid was a little too high.”
"The revolution has not yet succeeded, Your Majesty still needs to work hard." Liu Zhenzhen returned to his glib tone.
"It's so coveted!" His Majesty the King also smiled: "Feileng Cui's strength is so coveted. As the king of Behemoth, I really can't bear the thought that talented young people like you haven't shown your beauty yet.
It withered first; since the kingdom was forced to retreat to the Danube Wasteland, if it still maintains its original traditions, there are only two possibilities in the future. The first is to be exterminated by humans, and the second is to be divided. There is no third possibility.
Possibility! If we want to revitalize the kingdom, talented young people like you are the greatest hope..."
"...I never thought that I would only be king for ten years from the beginning." His Majesty Grek Sal paused, and his eyes suddenly turned hot: "I am a born king! The former
Successive kings only focused on increasing the strength of their families, but they forgot one thing. Being elected as King of Behemoth is not to serve a family for ten years! The king's allegiance should be to our entire nation, not the family! As a king,
The biggest responsibility is to take all the Behemoths to conquer a huge territory and dominate the entire Aegean continent!"
"Your Majesty, your wisdom is as bright as the sacred fire of the altar!" Liu Zhenhan was really moved. Although he was a layman, he could feel how broad-minded His Majesty Grek Sal was at this moment.
"It is easy for a nation to decline, but it is too difficult to rise. Even my family may not understand me. All I can do is contribute my own strength during my lifetime. I need time, but what is left to me
Time is getting less and less." His Majesty the King smiled bitterly and said: "The entire continent knows that our Behemoth warriors are the strongest and most fierce warriors, but is this really the case? If that is the case, Behemoth will not
We were driven from the Karim Great Plains to the Danube Wasteland by humans. Our subordinate races are too cowardly and too short and thin. The truly powerful races mostly have poor fertility and are sparse in number. This kind of polarity
The situation is divided, and there are not even enough troops to clear out the hostile countries around the border. This year's crusade against the desert countries is just the first explosion of the strength I have accumulated over the years. Without clearing out the border enemies, Behemoth will never be able to make great progress.
development! I must complete a stable external environment for the kingdom in my lifetime!"
"Whether you are strong or not, fighting in a large corps does not have much advantage. There is no room to move in a group charge. If ten spears are thrust at us, no matter how strong we Behemoth warriors are, we can't bear a blow to the heart." Liu
Shock also sighed: "The cowardice of the vassal Behemoth also puts our reserve soldiers at an obvious disadvantage. Once they are consumed on the battlefield, the reserve force will be a major problem for the kingdom. Soldiers need to be trained, not criticized.
A pair of armor and a spear are considered qualified. In addition, any war will also involve issues such as staff, reconnaissance and logistics. To put it bluntly, in fact, our forces in the Behemoth Kingdom
It’s really not that outstanding. Looking at the entire Aegean continent, it’s really like that.”
"I have also heard about the battle in Feilengcui by the bards. I found that you seem to have an extremely keen sense of battle." When talking about war and the army, His Majesty the King suddenly became interested, "Felengcui and Feilengcui."
In the battle between human bandits, you commanded a group of militiamen and were able to achieve zero casualties under the siege of enemies dozens of times your size. I really want to know how you did it?"
"It's not my command." Liu Zhenshao waved his hands quickly and laughed: "How can I have that ability? I have an excellent staff officer. After every battle, she has to make hundreds of pages of final reports and combat case compilations.
Paper, all the planning was done by her: in fact, zero casualties is an exaggeration, Helen's Komodo war beast and Mo'er's tide lord Gerien were all killed, and this was a bloody price."
"Having hundreds of militiamen against tens of thousands of human bandits, and fighting two battles in a row, is already a very impressive record. You don't need to be modest." His Majesty the King said: "Amateur militiamen can achieve such a great power.
It is really rare, and it is definitely the highest expression of the art of conducting.”
"No one is born a soldier, and we fought hard with swords and guns. Fortunately, there were two Templar Knights at the beginning to provide the most systematic training. I also had a group of Eastern Behemoth warriors with outstanding martial arts leading the way. The warriors were the most
The best way to learn Western knowledge is to fight. Bloody fighting is the only way to improve. All the militiamen in Feilengcui have never stopped soaking their weapons with blood. In fact, there is nothing remarkable about it. From the beginning, they fought against bandits, and later on
When we start a war with humans, in fact, we have never encountered a regular army in all the fights. Moreover, every time we shrink our defense and resolutely not engage in mobile warfare, we rely on the geographical advantage every time. It would be strange if we don’t win." Liu Zhenshaan said humbly:
"Humanity's magical advantage is completely suppressed in front of Fei Lengcui. The quality of the soldiers is not as high as ours, and the equipment is not as good as ours. Plus, with the help of the priests, victory is expected."
"Haha... It's not as simple as you said!" His Majesty Grek Thrall said with great joy: "But the descriptions of the bards about the Battle of Feilengcui gave us a lot of inspiration, your idea of the Vine Armor Army
We also submitted it to the military department. The military department absorbed this opinion and began to prepare to use rattan armor to make shields. If complete fire protection measures can be developed in the future, then our armor will be able to get rid of the iron shortage problem, which is also a big deal.
A blessing."
"It is a helpless move to use rattan armor for military purposes. If it can really solve the problem of fire protection, it is indeed a very good choice. The rattan armor, which has good protection and is lightweight, has made great contributions to us in the early days of Feilengcui's creation.
"Liu Zhenzhen didn't expect that Avril's original whimsical idea could win the king's praise, and he felt happy in his heart.
"This year is really a year full of happy events. The return of Butterfly and Cicada Man, as well as the Medusa, really makes people happy. Bring your representatives of Butterfly Man and Cicada Man and go together at noon.
Participate in the Autumn Sword Banquet prepared by the temple for you." His Majesty the King patted Liu Zhenzhen's hand.
"Your Majesty, what should I do about that night?" Liu Zhenshao asked what was bothering him.
"This is a duel between you and the traditional forces. Lord Priest Wolf has lost his magic pet, and you have to pay the price for it. Didn't I reiterate to you again and again that strong force does not mean that you can take advantage of it?
Even if the "Jane Eyre Battle Hymn" is really what Miss Sissi said, the temple will not rectify Platini's name, let alone promote this battle hymn. From the very beginning, I know you don't
Will win any benefits. Of course, saving a promising priest is worthy of the ambition of a spokesperson for God. Many of us Behemoths just don’t have the courage to face historical mistakes directly, so the feeling you give me
It's very special. If it weren't for this reason, I wouldn't necessarily look at you because you have a super-level magic pet." His Majesty the King shook his head regretfully: "I'm sorry, Richard, I can't help you. It depends on you.
You solve it yourself."
Liu Zhenshao suddenly looked sad.
"Why did I see a hint of secret joy and joy in your eyes?" His Majesty the King's eyes were vicious, and he inadvertently hit Liu Zhensha's point: "Richard, did I see it wrong? Or am I old?
Are your eyes blurred?"
Liu Zhenzhen's face suddenly turned into the same color as Helen's tail, fiery red.
