Chapter six hundred and ninety fourth order and response
In the palace, a group of palace guards wearing bright yellow armor came out. They had to deliver the news of the new king's accession to the throne and the latest orders to everyone as quickly as possible.
Most of the palace guards who delivered the orders had happy faces.
It is always a good job to send orders out of the palace. No matter how domineering a nobleman is, as long as he has not rebelled, he still has to give some face to the Charlemagne royal family.
No matter what, you have to entertain these palace guards who are delivering orders with good food and drink, and sometimes you can even take some odds and ends.
He would even be treated like a master, and he would have to fight for such a good job every time.
It's just that this time I was delivering orders for the new king, so the situation changed slightly.
It was okay to send orders to nobles and officials everywhere. After all, the fourth prince Parley himself had a group of supporters and was quite powerful. He was originally a popular choice for the heir to the throne.
Even if there is secret dissatisfaction, for the sake of the hundreds of thousands of troops in the hands of the fourth prince, he does not dare to openly confront him. At least the safety of the order is guaranteed.
But the people who were sent to deliver orders to Clay City and the Northland Army were in dire straits.
It was outrageous enough to go to Clays City and summon the eldest prince back from the army. He also asked the other party not to lead an army, and Qingqi Jian rushed back within ten days to attend the coronation ceremony of the new king.
Even the traffickers and lackeys on the dock knew how outrageous this order was.
The eldest prince is in a better mood and does not accept the order. Let him come back. He will not be able to escape the crime of failing to deliver the order.
If the eldest prince happens to be in a bad mood, it is not impossible to kill him directly to sacrifice the flag.
Don't even think about entertaining them with delicious food and drinks, and bribing them with small amounts of property.
As for giving orders to the Northern Army to withdraw from the royal capital?
Provoking a group of arrogant and powerful generals is also not a good job.
After most of the palace guards who conveyed the order dispersed, only two groups were left looking at each other and smiling bitterly. Finally, their hearts changed. One group headed south toward the Northland Army's station, and the other group headed east toward Kress.
Go to the city.
…
Nancheng
Northland Army Station
The army built a huge military stronghold around the portal connected to the abyss.
Quanquan built another city within the city within the royal capital.
The mansion that was originally reduced to rubble during the battle is now filled with spiked horses.
The outer wall of the military stronghold made of wood and stone is covered with powerful mechanical crossbows.
The North even shipped several black steam war crossbows.
After many improvements, the stability of these iron lumps has been guaranteed, and the power driven by steam is several times stronger than the Shenwei Crossbow.
If several of them are locked at the same time, the giant dragon can be smashed into pieces.
Unfortunately, the shortcomings are also obvious. It is still too heavy, and the shooting direction is difficult to adjust. Most of the time, it can only be fixed on city walls and large warships.
However, once the crossbow is fired, the densely packed shooting ports and arrows are enough to scare the enemy.
Inside and outside the military stronghold, Northern Army soldiers wearing blue and white cloth masks patrolled back and forth, maintaining a high degree of vigilance even in the royal capital.
From time to time, there are giant dragons patrolling in the sky, full of a murderous atmosphere.
A group of palace guards in golden armor appeared outside the military stronghold.
Originally, the palace guards carrying the royal flag should have been able to run rampant in the royal capital. Even the bloodline nobles who had been dissatisfied with the Charman family in the past did not dare to blatantly block the actions of the palace guards who sent orders.
However, the Northland Army only recognized the three-flag flag of the Hunter family, but did not recognize the royal flag of the Charman family.
The team of palace guards who were delivering the order had not gotten closer than two hundred meters to the military stronghold when they were ordered to stop by the Northland Army on the tower.
"No movement ahead, anyone who dares to come close will be shot to death!"
This was not a verbal threat. The moment the soldiers on the observation tower spoke, several Shenwei crossbows around them began to adjust their angles.
The soldier in charge of the operation had even taken out the special arrows for the Shenwei Crossbow and placed them on the arrow trough, looking eager to try.
If the palace guards flying the royal flag below dare to continue to advance, they will shoot the opponent into a sieve.
"Stop, stop!"
The captain of the palace guard at the head was very sensible and did not continue to move forward. Instead, he immediately reined in his horse and stretched out his hand to signal the following men to stop.
The captain of this palace guard is named Barak Levi, and he comes from a noble family in the royal capital.
Hundreds of years ago, his ancestors followed Aragorn and fought against orcs. However, by his generation, his title had nothing to do with him, and it was just a surname.
Joining the Palace Guards relies on talent and hard work, accumulated step by step from the Royal Capital Knight Academy, and a little bit of luck to reach this point.
With the strength of a knight and his status as a palace guard officer, Barak must be given some face by others no matter where he is.
Being humiliated so abruptly by the Northland Army was his first time working outside the palace.
The faces of the several young palace guards behind him clearly showed expressions of dissatisfaction, but in the face of the Northland Army's murderous expressions, their bodies were still honest and did not dare to move.
After appeasing his men, Barak calmed down his mood and replied:
"We are the palace guards who brought the message, bringing the new king's order!"
"New king?"
The intelligence capabilities of the Northern Army in the royal capital are not very strong. The chaos in the palace came very suddenly. At this time, even the Northern Army stationed near the portal did not know the specific information.
However, since the person came from the palace, there was no need to stop him.
"Put the hanging basket in! Let the people come in!"
On the military camp, several hanging baskets were lowered, which made Barak's eyes twitch a few times.
After revealing his identity, the person on the other side didn't even want to open the door and even let the gondola down.
Judging from this tone, it's not that he is deliberately making things difficult, but that he really doesn't take the royal family seriously.
"Let's go, dismount!"
…
The Northern Army is inside the big tent.
Taize sat high on the main seat. As a barbarian, Taize had an outstanding physique. He was over two meters tall and had a body full of tendons. He made the most majestic leader in the tent look small and exquisite.
Taize is the most defensive among the system heroes and has strong commanding ability, but his personal strength is not outstanding.
Although the sky-level combat power is not considered weak when entering the abyss battlefield, it is only an elite unit and has little impact on the battle situation. In the end, Richard was left in the camp to guard the portal connecting the two planes.
.
Taize didn't have to let Richard down. In a short period of time, he built the entire camp like an iron barrel.
Even ordinary saint-level experts can't get around the giant dragon patrolling in the sky and the pile of giant crossbows arranged with no blind spots.
"How about you tell the new king's order again?"
"The Northern Army is a foreign army. According to the rules, it should not be stationed in the royal capital. It should withdraw as soon as possible!"
"Qiang!"
"It's against you!"
When Barak repeated the order again, Taize just looked weird.
He really couldn't figure out what kind of tricks the new king, who had a good relationship with Lord Richard, had pulled to make the Northern Army withdraw from the royal capital.
But Quill, who had a slightly grumpy temper, immediately stood up and drew out his knight's sword with a clang, pointing it at Barak and his group.
I don't think there's anything wrong with the wording he used when he said Parley was contrary.
Quill is a representative of the local generals under Richard's command, and his combat power is much lower than that of a bunch of system heroes.
However, with the accumulation of resources in the North, Quill, who was already very talented, has also acquired the high-level strength of the earth. Before the magic power recovers, he has almost touched the ceiling of knight practice.
In addition, he led troops to kill in the wilderness all year round, and the smell of blood could not be removed from his body.
Most people would be frightened and fall down if they were yelled like this by Quill.
Barak was trembling with fear after being pointed at by Quill and receiving unkind glances from a circle of people in the tent. He did not kneel down immediately, thus maintaining the last bit of dignity of the royal family in front of the Northland Army.
"Yes, sir, this is His Majesty Parley's order."
"Well, I understand."
Taize touched his hand and signaled Quill to calm down. Quill knew he had lost his composure, so he apologized and sat back down.
Barak below was confused.
What does know mean?
He had given orders so many times, and this was the first time he heard such an answer.
"Then, sir, when will the Northern Army..."
"How the Northland Army will act depends on Sir Richard's orders."
"Please come back!"
Although Taize looked big and rough, his personality was not domineering. Although the order sounded too outrageous, he did not embarrass Barak who was giving the order.
When Barak heard that Taizé was going to see off the guests, he also stepped out of the tent with relief.
Anyway, the order has been conveyed. Whether the Northern Army listens to it or not is none of his business. If he stays any longer and is an eyesore, he is really afraid that any of the arrogant generals of the Northern Army will not be able to hold back and will directly kill their group.
Chopped...
"This royal capital has undergone great changes."
"Order the army to be on alert during this period. No bird is allowed to come in without my order!"
"Yes, sir!"
…
royal palace
Parley was sitting in an extremely inconspicuous room, wondering what he was thinking. After becoming the new king, there was no smile on his face as he wanted.
"Your Majesty, the main nobles in the royal capital and the two prime ministers have expressed their support for you to ascend the throne and become the new king."
"It's just that the Northern Army has no plans to leave Golden Dragon City. The palace guard who sent the order said that they must wait for Lord Richard's order."
"Hey, who can command this Northern Army except my brother-in-law?"
Parley had already expected the Northland Army's reaction and did not show any anger.
He waved his hand and asked his men to exit the room.
"You heard it too. It's not that I don't want to send the Northland Army away, but that I simply can't command them."
At some point, a figure wearing a white robe appeared in the house.
"It doesn't matter, I just want to give them a chance to survive."
"Perhaps, the coming of a great era always requires some blood."
"hey-hey"
"Should I call you General Mishu, His Majesty the Pope, or something else?"
Parley smiled noncommittally, stared at the familiar face and asked abruptly.
