After dealing with the prisoners and settling the military affairs for the day, it was already sunset.
I stayed with Fichet the whole day without daring to leave. Watching him deal with the things he was responsible for in an orderly manner, I always felt that he was suppressing the worry and anger in his heart. I couldn't help but worry.
He will become sick from boredom.
I asked the logistics officer to prepare a sumptuous dinner as best he could, and also called two uncles to accompany me, hoping this would make Fichet feel better.
Facing the table full of dishes, the atmosphere at the dining table was not very good. Not only did Fichet look heavy, he was often distracted.
Seeing that Fichet was still like this, I winked at Uncle Wilbur.
"I heard that your Majesty let go of the enemy general?" Uncle Wilbur, who was thoughtful, understood what I meant, so he found a topic: "What did your Majesty think?"
"Do what I say, chop him clean with one knife!" Uncle Tenasi was not stupid, and immediately took over from the side: "That is a spineless thing. I heard that this loser was so scared that he peed his pants?"
"Ah...that's it." Fichet came back to his senses and said slowly: "I have also thought about it carefully. Keeping him or killing him has no benefit other than venting my anger. But letting him go
Firstly, let the people in other empires participating in the rebellion know that I am safe now, and there are also Cohen's troops around, which can neutralize some enemies and disrupt Luman's plan. Secondly, other provinces that are not involved in the rebellion can
The governor will also receive some news, which will strengthen their confidence in fighting Luman."
"Although His Majesty is young, he acts very carefully, which is better than us old guys." Uncle Wilbur sighed, then turned to me and asked: "Cohen, what about you? I thought you would send someone to deal with this later.
The major general cleaned it up."
"It's very simple!" I glanced at Fichet and said with a smile: "Since this is what His Majesty has decided, of course I will abide by it and will not violate it."
"Is it that simple?" Uncle Tenasi shook his head and said, "I won't believe you. This is not like your style."
"My Governor Cohen!" Fichet looked at me, not knowing what he thought of, but it was the first time there was a smile on his face: "You'd better tell me honestly!"
"Okay, I confess, I confess." Seeing that Fichet was attracted by our topic, I shrugged my shoulders nonchalantly: "As for me, I wish all the generals in power in the Pota Empire were like this kind of pussies.
In this way, if there is a conflict between the two countries in the future, this pustule general will help us a lot."
"As expected." After hearing my words, the two uncles shook their heads together: "You are indeed such a person!"
"Thank you, thank you." I replied with a smile: "Thank you two uncles for the praise!"
"We're not complimenting you."
"There is no difference!" I said: "I grew up listening to the teachings of these two uncles. I just carried forward what the two uncles taught me."
"You have the ability." Uncle Wilbur gave me a thumbs up: "We will settle this debt with Weisu!"
"Let's eat, uncles." Fichet picked up the knife and fork and seemed to be in a better mood: "It's very difficult to settle accounts with Cohen. We might as well make him poor."
After some teasing, everyone was finally in the mood for dinner.
After the meal, the two uncles who had been working hard for a long time retired, and I went for a walk with Fichet.
As night falls, stars occasionally appear in the cloudy sky. It's winter now, and the night wind is already a bit cold.
Fichet walked slowly along a path in the castle without saying a word. He didn't speak, so naturally I didn't have the right to speak, so I could only follow behind obediently.
We walked all the way to the city wall of the small castle and looked at the patrol teams under the wall and the campfires far and near. We had a panoramic view of the entire camp.
"In this world, something changes so quickly that you have no time to react." Fichet stroked the city wall with one hand and finally said: "This morning the castle was still in danger, but in the evening I can have a drink with you and have a good time...
…And if we make even one wrong step in this process, the result will be an irreparable tragedy.”
"His Majesty……"
"If you weren't smart enough," Fischette said, "Cohen, maybe we would never meet again."
"Your Majesty, don't think so much. Things have reached this point." I walked up to Fichet and said, "You have to cheer up! This is your responsibility."
"I understand, Cohen, I know this is my responsibility." Fichet lowered his head and whispered: "But, my heart hurts!"
I reached out and patted his shoulder.
"Think about His Majesty Creamer and Aunt Nasher! They don't want to see you like this." I persuaded softly: "Brother, you can't be too sad and be strong. These two will live in our lives forever.
In my heart.”
"I……"
"Your Majesty, think about it, Your Majesty Creamer and Aunt Nasher must also want you to cheer up!" I held his hand: "They must know that you can escape danger and avenge them, so they have no intention of doing so.
Leave without hesitation... You have to do all this and be a good Your Majesty. Only in this way can you live up to the trust they both put in you."
"If I could get my father and mother back," Fichet said with tears in his eyes, "I would rather give everything I have."
"Don't be stupid, my Majesty, this is something that cannot be done by human beings." I said: "Everyone in the world has to leave one day, and no one is exception. His Majesty Creamer and Aunt Nasher left with pride.
One is a majestic and wise majesty, and the other is a kind and elegant queen. They have become the two most dazzling stars in the night sky and will always be admired by the world."
"Really?" Fichet raised his head and looked at the night sky, his hands trembling slightly.
"What Your Majesty has to do now is to tear apart these black clouds blocking the starlight." I whispered: "Luman, and the red priest, we must not let them live!"
"Of course I will do this." Fichet blurted out: "Even if I chase them to the ends of the world, I will kill these people with my own hands!"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, you are not alone. I and others will always be with Your Majesty. No matter who they are, they can't stop us!"
"Cohen, I know you will always stand with me, but..." Fichet held my shoulders, with a slight confusion in his eyes: "But as soon as I heard you call me Your Majesty, I felt that our
The relationship has become so unfamiliar.”
"Actually...I'm not very used to such a title. But now that you are His Majesty, you should possess His Majesty's majesty, and I am His Majesty's closest friend. I have the responsibility and obligation to maintain His Majesty's majesty.
." I smiled and said: "Your Majesty, although it is difficult to adapt to it at the moment, there are many things that we have to learn to accept. Please rest assured, your Majesty, no matter what we call each other, it is only a title. In my heart,
Your Majesty is still my closest friend and my brother."
"you promise?"
"Yes, I promise, your majesty will always be my brother." I replied sincerely: "You will be a good majesty, because this is not only your wish, but also the wish of His Majesty Creamer and Aunt Nasher.
, let us accomplish this together.”
"It seems that there is no other way. I'll try to be cautious." Fichet nodded and stood up straight: "Cohen, when do we leave here?"
"Tomorrow morning." I replied: "We can set off as soon as Brigadier General Helter's troops withdraw from the battle outside the Holy City."
"Helter is already a brigadier general!" Fichet put his hands behind his back: "How is he doing?"
"It's pretty good, but sometimes I make some mistakes."
"Tell me about you." Fichet finally recovered from his frustration: "Tell me about how you escaped death."
Sitting side by side on the stone steps, I started talking about the tragic Battle of Tucheng, then talked about the bizarre passage, and kept talking until midnight... These things are very attractive in themselves, and I added them to the story.
, Fichet was very interested.
Suddenly, the sound of galloping horses was heard in the distance.
After a while, the unique heavy footsteps of the rock sounded on the stairs, heading straight towards where Fichet and I were.
"I've seen your Majesty, I've seen you, sir." Rock saluted and said, "The Winged Scouts of the Second Legion have come to report that Brigadier General Haiert has led the Second Legion out of the battle around the Holy City. Brigadier General Hailter invites sir.
Take the first step with Your Majesty, and he will stop you later."
Fichet and I looked at each other.
"I understand, Governor Cohen, you make the arrangements! I am going to rest." Fichet stood up: "Captain Rock, from now on you have the rank of major."
"Yes, yes, Your Majesty." The rock was a little strange.
"Don't be surprised, the rank of the captain of the Guards cannot be too low." As Fichet left along the steps, he turned back and said to the rock: "This rank is not given to you for free - keep an eye on Governor Cohen for me."
"yes!"
After seeing Fichet off, I said to the rock: "Herald the troops! Line up and set off as soon as daybreak, heading straight to the Dark Province!"
"Yes, sir!"
On the fourth day when we set off again, Haiert's troops caught up with us and joined forces to advance towards the Dark Province. Just before entering the Dark Province, we met Moya who was covering the thirty-six tribes, supported by the three legions.
With Fichet, his military appearance was at its peak.
After meeting Moya and Carlos, I naturally got the latest information about the Dark Province and the Dark Moon Province.
Before the rebellion in the Holy City began, there were about 40,000 coalition troops stationed on the border of the Dark Moon Province. Although the dark side was not taken seriously, there were more than 10,000 people. As soon as the rebellion began, these rebels and the Luman faction
Some governors there formed an armed alliance and began a large-scale attack on the Dark Moon and the Dark Province.
Martin Luther is on the dark side, plus I have left enough troops in the dark province, and the sound administrative mechanism has responded quickly. More than 20,000 invading enemy troops have just entered the province and 300
Dori was surrounded by Martin Luther, elves, dwarves, sand people and other foreign races. After a whole day of fighting, the rebels who planned to take over the dark province were defeated miserably...
The situation in Darkmoon Province was not very good. Luman attached great importance to this province that my father had worked hard for many years, and sent a total of 70,000 troops to attack. At that time, the rebels surrounded Darkmoon City, and my father and his two brothers fought hand in hand.
There were only more than 9,000 soldiers on the city, and the battle was very difficult in the first few days. When reinforcements from all over the Dark Moon Province and Martin Luther arrived and defeated the enemy, only 3,000 troops were left defending the city.
In fact, the human losses were not bad. What is even more serious is that almost half of the towns in Darkmoon Province were severely damaged by the rebels!
Everyone understands that Luman has now taken control of the Holy Capital, and he has extremely strong financial and material support behind him. Although some provinces in the empire have not yet been touched by him, it is an indisputable fact that he controls most of the empire.
It is difficult to defeat him without a large amount of materials and funds...
Now, it’s our turn to have a headache.
In fact, among the seventeen provinces of the empire, as His Majesty, Fichet now only owns the Dark and Dark Moon provinces, and the area of these two provinces only accounts for one-fifth of the total area of the country, especially
My dark province has just been established, and this time it has brought back more than a million tribal refugees who are in urgent need of resettlement. Where can I find the money to support the huge rebel army?
But now, Dark Moon, which had a relatively stable income, has been destroyed again. When I think about this, I get very anxious and don't know how to tell Fichet.
In the end, it was Fichet who took the initiative to comfort me.
"Don't worry too much, my Governor Cohen." He seemed to have a plan in mind: "When it comes to war, I am indeed not very good at it, but when it comes to internal affairs, you are beyond your reach - we will find a way."
He said so, what else can I do except nod? I have to believe my brother.
In response to the situation in Darkmoon Province, I asked Moya to send ten field regiments from his third legion, and Haiert's second legion sent two cavalry regiments to report to Darkmoon City to assist in the defense.
And I accompanied Fichet to continue to the Dark City. Two days later, we had already seen the tall gate of the Dark City.
"I saw this city gate again... Thinking about the last time we were apart, it really felt like it was a lifetime ago." Fichet was riding a horse, looking up at the majestic city wall, and asked me softly: "Cohen, what are you thinking?"
"Me?" I blurted out these words without even thinking: "Since nothing happened to me... then the person who owes me will definitely pay a heavy price!"
"I firmly believe in this." Fichet turned to look at me: "I really envy you for having a pure heart."
"Really? My Majesty." I smiled sheepishly: "This doesn't seem to be a compliment to me."
"Originally I wanted to praise you." Fichet also smiled: "But I am worried that your simple heart will beat irregularly soon..."
"Why?" I defended loudly: "Am I such a person? I have always been very ambitious!"
"Then." Fichet raised his head slightly: "Please ask Governor Cohen to look under the city gate."
I looked in the direction Fichet said.
Outside the city gate passage, dozens of senior officials were lined up neatly, and the three people standing at the front were the three ladies that the governor always cared about... Sure enough, my heart immediately beat irregularly.
stand up!
"How is your heart now?" Fichet's words rang in my ears again: "Is it still beating?"
"Yes..." Although I was reluctant, out of courtesy to Your Majesty, I had to answer honestly: "My Majesty, it is thump thump - jumping around!"
"I'm starting to like my identity." Fichet's voice was full of narrow-mindedness: "Do you know the reason?"
Of course I know the reason. As His Majesty, Fichet can now bully me, a little governor, to his heart's content...
If it were Fichet who was still a prince before, I could drag him off the horse and beat him up in a deserted place...
But it's different now. He is my Majesty, and he is the Majesty who I will loyal to for the rest of my life. Don't say that he is teasing me with his words. As long as he doesn't intend to take my head, I have to endure anything.
"I know." I looked at Fichet with innocent eyes: "My most, most, dearest Majesty."
"Hahaha..." Fichet laughed a few times and took off his helmet: "You seem to be very anxious, so let's ride faster."
Two fast horses came out of the crowd and galloped towards the city gate one after the other. The horses snorted and finally stopped in front of the city gate.
The ten trombones on the city gate immediately played royal ritual music.
On the horse, Fichet looked majestic, his blond hair reflecting light in the sun, and his majestic eyes swept over the crowd waiting under the city gate.
"Philynn Rona, the municipal supervisor of the Dark Province, is accompanied by two municipal supervisors, Kelly Rona and Wen Sili." The capable Feline Rona took two steps forward, held her hands with her skirt, squatted slightly, and made a formal gesture.
Court etiquette: "Led the officials of the Dark Province to meet His Majesty!"
"Good day, Your Majesty!" The three ladies performed a squatting salute, while all other male officials knelt down on one knee to salute Fichet, the current His Majesty of our Sbia Empire.
"My dear friends, you are now considerate." Fichet nodded slightly: "Everyone, please get back on your feet."
After the officials stood up, an old figure walked over from behind the queue. It was Lorenzo, the dean of the newly built Dark Province Academy. He knelt down in front of Fichetma again.
"Good day, Your Majesty. I was shocked to hear the bad news about His Majesty Creamer a few days ago. The eyes of all the officials in the province were red. This is the denunciation statement written by your Majesty at night. Please take a look at it, Your Majesty Fichet!" Lorenzo excitedly took it from his arms.
A scroll came out: "Lu Man is a thief with a bad heart and a bad heart. Your Majesty must not let him die a good death!"
Fichet got off his horse and helped Lorenzo up from the ground with his own hands.
"Don't worry, Dean Lorenzo, I will never spare this person!" Fichet replied firmly: "I will restore the empire, revitalize the country, and kill Luman with my own hands!"
"I will definitely follow Your Majesty, no matter how much I do!" Dozens of officials knelt down in unison again.
"My dear friends, I understand what you want." Fichet said loudly to the officials: "If I want to complete this matter, of course I cannot do without you. Now that you are sparing no effort to help me, I will definitely achieve my wish.
!Please all my dear friends please be free..."
"Your Majesty, please move a little and rest at the Governor's Mansion." Seeing that this was really not a good place to talk, Feilin stepped forward again and said, although she was talking to Fichet, a glimmer of her eye had already fallen on her.
There seemed to be a blush on my cheeks.
"Okay." Fichet looked at me: "Governor Cohen, follow me."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Then I slowly took off my helmet and followed Fichet into the city gate. While looking at my subordinates, I did not forget to take the time to send a faint smile to my three ladies, and
But the three of them ignored me...Why, is this the only treatment a husband can receive after escaping death?
After shouting several commands, the orderly footsteps of the guards could already be heard in my ears, Dark City, Dark City... Almost a year later, I finally came back! (To be continued)
