After the good show on the Mortal Avenue came to an end, the soldiers and civilians of the city waited eagerly for the news of His Majesty Cohen's awakening. But three days passed, and the door of Youshuang Palace was still closed. The young emperor did not live up to their expectations.
Just show up in casual clothes and say some weird things to make everyone feel at ease.
At noon on the fourth day, the four imperial concubines, accompanied by a group of important military and political officials, hosted a banquet in the palace garden for the ministers who were working on the spot to express their condolences to everyone. During the banquet, the smiling imperial concubines announced that Your Majesty
They have passed the critical period and their bodies are recovering. But anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is unconcealable fatigue in their expressions. Every time, their eyes inadvertently pass by the tightly guarded door behind them.
, all with a hint of anxiety.
Since the imperial concubines announced that His Majesty is recovering, it indirectly means that the state of emergency has passed, and there is no need for everyone to work in the garden. So after the banquet, the imperial concubines went to Baohua Building, and the officials from various ministries returned to Youyou.
In the square office building in front of the Double Palace - but this does not mean that everything has passed. At least people can observe that the number of heralds and emissaries entering and leaving the Youshuang Palace is several times the usual number, and most of them are far away.
OK attire.
Most people don't know the communication methods used by the empire's top officials, but the empire has long stopped using heralds and emissaries, unless they are required to carry top-secret documents. And what does such a large number and such a wide range of top-secret documents portend?
Is it related to the physical condition of His Majesty the Emperor? Those who saw the signs speculated in their minds and opened their eyes wide. Whether they were worried about the empire, or worried about themselves, or even people with ulterior motives, they were looking for these signs.
With the answer...
As the days passed, some unusual things gradually emerged in Sibia's military and political arrangements. The mobilization of the army, the reserve of military rations, the allocation of funds, the promotion of officials... There was something strange between the lines of this order.
The Sibiya officials are quite familiar with this feeling of tension and urgency, because it is the unique smell when war is about to begin!
The Sibia Empire under the leadership of His Majesty Cohen grew up through war. War is a normal thing, but the weird thing now is that...these orders serve the strategic defense plan, and the defense direction is focused on the empire.
internal!
The most elite and most loyal troops were divided into several large army groups, moving in the name of changing defenses, changing equipment, and repairing. When they stopped for various reasons, they happened to be guarding the domestic transportation arteries and were heading straight.
Refers to the surrendered governor faction, the old noble faction, and even the old civil servant faction gathered in the Holy Capital!
Do the imperial concubines and military and political leaders waiting in the city want to deal with these people? Unlikely, before these factions have obvious acts of rebellion, if such a major move is not personally presided over by His Majesty the Emperor, these people alone can easily move them.
He threw a stone and hit himself in the foot. Moreover, the troops who went forward were only setting up defenses and did not show any intention to attack.
Could it be that these factions had premeditated and decided to unite to rebel? It doesn't seem like it, because before that, His Majesty Cohen had trained these people to be obedient. Who is His Majesty Cohen? His Majesty the City of Diasoma
, Your Majesty frightened the 100,000 rebels out of their wits with just two words, and tied up the commander himself to beg for his life!
Therefore, it is difficult to imagine that today, there are people with evil intentions who dare to launch such frivolous provocations to His Majesty Cohen, because this is an extremely irresponsible behavior towards one's own life... Then, what happened is because
What? Any idiot should know that large-scale military mobilization is not without reason.
Something must have happened! And it’s something big!
Smelling the strange smell, the spies lurking inside Sbia became excited, and the tentacles that had been chopped into pieces by the Liaison Department re-stretched out.
Plans were made in the flower streets and willow alleys, lurking under the walls, peeking at the edges of the windows, rummaging through the wastebaskets and analyzing them under dim light, until they were written in trembling handwriting as top-secret dispatches and sent to the border at the cost of their lives. When this information
When it arrived in the hands of their master, it was already stained with blood, sweat, and other unpleasant things...
But holding such a letter in your hand, anyone feels like they have found a treasure, and they should interpret it with the same attitude as a sacred object.
First there were surprises, then panic, then worries, and finally arguments. Almost the same process was filled with the headquarters of the Divine Treaty Business Group, the headquarters of the Demonic Treaty Business Group, the intelligence headquarters of various empires, the Dark Demon Temple, the Temple of Light, and even Sibi.
The headquarters of some forces within Subiya, because the intelligence they received said: Cohen Keda had a direct conflict with the dark demons, was seriously injured, has been comatose, and is very likely to be in a critical condition! Inside Subiya,
Make various arrangements to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to cause trouble.
Although the results of this analysis are shocking, they are not unfounded. They include the coming ceremony of the dark demons, the performance of the three demon generals that day, the recent military and political changes in Sibia, the spiritual outlook of the royal family, the types of medicinal materials and treatments entering the Youshuang Palace.
Personnel... Cautious spies even dug out the list of medicinal materials and therapists used by Cohen Kedar when he was injured and comatose when he was still the governor for comparison.
You can imagine how people will feel when they see this conclusion. It is the feeling brought about by the collapse of an extremely high peak. It is extremely shocking. As for whether it is sad or happy in the end, it depends on the relationship between this peak and
Is everyone's relative position an obstacle or a backing... In any case, all parties have to pay attention to this news, but at the same time they find it difficult to make corresponding countermeasures immediately, so they have to pay attention to their own lives at the cost of their lives.
The spy issued an order to obtain follow-up information at all costs!
The hard-working spies were once again mobilized, working tirelessly day and night to fight for their lofty ideals - their military ranks will rise on a roster that is not known where, and there will be medals and rewards that they will receive when they don't know when.
gold.
During this period, in the entire Sbia Empire, there was only one spy who could still stay in a spacious and bright room, wear the most comfortable clothes, drink the best red wine, and hum a tune if he wanted to.
He is the recently converted Cardinal Priest of the Temple of Light, Prime Minister Sibiya, who is responsible for temple affairs and the Emperor's Attendant--Nizam.
This is not the most interesting thing. The most interesting thing is that he was not a spy a few days ago. He was considered to be a spy by some people, so he was forced to be a spy. Moreover, he himself had to go through all kinds of difficulties.
The duty of a spy... The world is so unpredictable, and the most helpless and most successful spy in the history of Sbia was born.
At this time, Nizam had no time to investigate the cause of the matter, because there were dozens of confidential letters on his desk, all sent by the internal factions of Sbia who were threatened by the army. Those who were responsible for questioning the Temple of Light
Those who do nothing, some seek protection from the Council of Cardinals, but most of them paint a long-term blueprint.
Those were some plans that seemed very feasible or ridiculous: about raising troops to "recover" the Sibia Empire, about the expedient distribution after killing Korn Keda, and asking the Temple of Light to provide support in this plan, and by the way, guarantee themselves
He is capable and fully capable of shouldering the heavy responsibility of revitalizing Sbia.
Without receiving corresponding training, Nizan was born with enough intelligence to analyze certain things, not to analyze the current chaotic situation in Sibia, but to analyze why he was suddenly in this embarrassing position. And
At this time, he couldn't afford to offend any of the forces from the Protoss, Temple, Cohen, and Sbia, and he couldn't even deal with them.
As far as Nizam's original identity and character are concerned, he will not care who wins and who loses in this storm, who survives and who dies, even if he keeps calling "Master" and swears allegiance to Cohen. Because a man is comatose or even critically ill.
Nizam cannot be the one to please him wholeheartedly. Since he does not have the ability to save Cohen, he will not consider this for the time being.
Although his ultimate target of allegiance is currently unclear, he has undoubtedly adopted the most conservative method that can best protect his own interests - he must personally copy three copies of all secret letters, one to the Cardinal Court of the Temple of Light, and one to the Cardinal Court of the Temple of Light.
Send it to the Guangming Protoss, and keep the other copy for other purposes. In addition, he has to complete the report on the recent situation in Sbia, and the heavy workload makes his arms sore.
In this report, which was as objective and comprehensive as possible, Nitzan elaborated on the causes and consequences of the dark demon's arrival, and estimated that the demon's favor ceremony for Cohen was not completed, and it was only because of Cohen's resistance that he was injured.
The ceremony was interrupted. After that, he analyzed the turbulent situation in Sbia. In fact, there was no need for him to analyze it. Dozens of handwritten documents submitted at the same time could fully demonstrate the complexity of the situation.
Then, Nizam packed up various emails and asked his subordinates to send them. He personally took a copy of the document, tied it up randomly with a tape, and went to Youshuang Palace. Who would have thought that there were dozens of documents.
The documents of his heart were sent to the hands of the imperial concubines in this way? Nizam himself seemed not to have expected that someone was watching him in the dark - the report he wrote was quickly copied by his assistant and handed over to a certain force.
Spies, and in the process of being passed on, they were copied repeatedly by spies from all sides who penetrated each other.
Since Nizam himself is a cardinal priest, his extensive knowledge of the dark demon clan is unmatched by ordinary people, and his position gives him an almost omnipotent vision. Therefore, his report is based on a large number of real facts.
, based on the facts that are not known to outsiders, it is simply a treasure among treasures.
When the matter has reached this point, even a blind person can see the "truth of the matter". This is all caused by the coma of Cohen Keda, and has spread to the crisis throughout Sbia. From this point of view, Sbia
The internal unity is not as united as everyone thought before, and there was such a serious wavering just because the emperor was in a coma. Assuming that Cohen Keda slept forever, the Sibia Empire will definitely fall into a new civil war. Who can imagine this
How long will the civil war last? Who can guarantee that the empire will not be divided in the end?
The most important thing is how to deal with this foreseeable situation and get some benefits from it. Should you add more fire to Sibia's boiling water? Or should you pretend not to know anything? But when facing Sibia,
When fighting Biya, no matter what strategy was adopted, it seemed that it was not very safe... As a result, a new round of quarrels became the mainstream of all parties.
While the various forces were busy quarreling within themselves, information about them also reached Youshuang Palace.
Because everyone was busy with business, and the crow accompanying him was serious, so a certain unscrupulous emperor who was still lying on the bed pretending to be a dead dog was itching all over, so he took the initiative to take the information and read it carefully.
This indicates that the next step can be made. Because what Sibia wants to deceive is not these forces, but the Light Gods - under this premise, all the forces and even the dark demons only exist as a background.
With.
Or the demons may have a chain reaction due to certain actions of the gods, but that is not what Sibia has to worry about now.
Even before the Gods made their first response, a new show began.
After the three magicians who treated Cohen were "quietly" executed in Youshuang Palace, Sbia finally had its first internal friction - near the sphere of influence of the surrendered governor's faction, the Guards were attacked by unknown armed forces, and the two sides exchanged views on each other.
There was a loss, although it was not a river of blood, but it was enough to leave a mass of mass graves in the area.
With this boundary, bloody conflicts occurred one after another, varying in scale, day and night. Soon, this conflict spread to other areas, and was not limited to direct conflicts, but gradually developed to include rumors, assassinations, kidnappings and even supplies.
Comprehensive turmoil due to shortages. Some forces located on the border are worried about being punished, so they start to grab territory in order to gain more defense depth. Although they don't dare to rob the country, they dare to rob other empires!
Once other empires are involved, even a deserted hilltop is a big deal, and you can imagine the excitement that will follow.
Youshuang Palace is still pretending to be calm, but some of the ministers below are a little confused.
The panic and anger of the ministers were clearly revealed when they issued orders - the harsh tone of these orders was unprecedented, and every sentence ended with an exclamation mark, sometimes even a series of exclamation marks!
The flustered and angry orders inevitably deepened the unrest.
The local officials who were loyal to the empire were worried, and the wallflowers were jumping up and down. Those who had had second thoughts even wanted to hit the wall... A new round of grievances, requests for help, and urgent letters were piled up on Nizam's desk. On Nizam's side
He cursed these writers in the most vicious words in his heart, while writing with his hand that was still in pain. The deterioration of the situation made him finally start to stay up late, and the lights in the room stayed on all night long...
But the good news is that he is not the only one who stays up late.
Not far from Nizam's office, it is the residential area for the royal family. Due to the special situation in the city, there are very few families who have moved their family members. Even if they have, the number is not large, so every time they arrive,
At night, this place is one of the darkest areas in the city. Looking at it from another perspective, looking at the light in a dark place is also a normal peeping behavior, right?
This is the character of the demon generals.
"Sister, haven't you changed yet?" Fogg, who had changed into home clothes, walked to the yard, tiptoed slightly, and jumped directly to the roof.
She looked far away and sat down next to Emine.
The First Demon General was also dressed in home clothes. The soft pink thin skirt outlined the beautiful curves of her body, especially the long legs that curved up, shining with a delicate and bright light outside the skirt. She faced Youshuang Palace, quietly
Looking at the brilliant lights quietly, he sighed softly: "It seems that the shot was still too heavy..."
Fogg curled his lips: "Sister, you are concerned but confused. Although he was seriously injured by the tip of your spear, we also treated him in time. Although the magic of the dark demons is not the best in terms of treatment effect,
But it is thousands of times stronger than humans! When we sent him back, his body had basically recovered."
"But...it's just the body..."
"No matter how powerful this guy is, he is just a human being. When he fights with us dark demons as a human being, the injuries he suffers are not just physical! The physical injuries are easy to deal with, but the mental impact can only be dealt with by relying on
Time has been restored. Sister, you don’t have to sit here all the time, he won’t wake up within a month!”
The First Demon General stared at Youshuang Palace, with worry faintly flashing in his eyes: "Look, there are indeed not many drugs on this list that can treat the body, but in addition to treating mental shock, there are also detoxification drugs...
His condition is not optimistic!"
"Detoxification?" Fogg snorted coldly and said contemptuously: "Is there someone inside Sbia who wants to harm him? Human beings just like to play these boring tricks!"
"In the final analysis, it's because of my carelessness..."
"Even if he is unconscious now, it has nothing to do with you." Fogg shook his head: "When things changed, Her Royal Highness the Princess didn't even react, and the three of us alone couldn't reverse it... Speaking of which,
, who was the one who intervened? Why did Her Royal Highness the Princess behave so strangely afterwards?"
"Everyone has things in their heart that they don't want to share with others." Emine sighed and warned Fogg: "We can't just speculate on the eldest princess's feelings."
"But, it's been so many days since it happened, and we still have to give us some news. Shouldn't we just sit here and wait?"
"If you can't wait, go back first. I can do it alone."
"How can I leave you alone? Otherwise, who will take care of you and cook you food?" Fogg smiled: "In the words of the little gangster, this is a well-defended fortress!
"
"Speaking of this, I think of the human being I met outside the gate of Youshuang Palace that day. This person is very extraordinary. He actually has such strong strength. The eldest princess is not here, so I can't make an accurate assessment." Speaking of the crow.
An impressive opponent, Emine's eyes became very cold: "How do you feel when you fight him directly?"
"He is very fast and has very accurate vision. He can be considered an opponent that I have not encountered in many years." Fogg's words were filled with a strong hatred. It was obvious that the result of the battle that day made her angry: "Smash it.
Although the elbow on my chest didn't hurt me, it shocked me a lot. I feel that even if the three of us join forces, we may not be able to win him."
"Such a thing has only happened once before." Emine nodded: "What if we join forces to kill him with all our strength? What do you think the result will be?"
"Although we can kill him, some of us will inevitably be injured." Fogg smiled: "Where did I go? With the ability of ordinary humans, how could it be possible to hurt the dark demons?"
"I'm afraid that this royal guest is not that ordinary. No matter in terms of momentum, spirit, or martial arts, he is not inferior to any of us. It takes great courage to face three demon generals, but he is not even a little timid.
There was no hesitation at all." Emine shook her head and said: "Although they are invisible, the three demon generals can't win together - no, it should be said that we actually failed. Isn't this fact amazing enough? This is
He is already a very extraordinary person, not to mention that he is still with Cohen Keda."
"There wasn't much news about him before this... The information only said that this person was a killer who was adopted by the Temple of Light in the early years. He has been doing some shady things for the temple, and has also sneaked into the demonic realm many times." Fogg said solemnly.
The voice said: "Do you need us to investigate now?"
"Don't do unnecessary things. I have already reported it to Her Highness the Princess. Just wait for Her Highness's orders. Besides, we all know what is worthy of investigation after the battle on the Mortal Avenue. Other things are difficult to deal with in a short time.
It's clear." Emine looked up at the sky: "It's almost dawn, let's go and rest for a while!" (To be continued)
