General Bude was very depressed, so he got drunk in a tavern in the corner of the imperial capital. He drank one glass after another of the purest spirits, no different from an unemployed middle-aged man.
The First Emperor got the news immediately and rushed here. However, he did not immediately strike up a conversation. Instead, he sat at the bar and observed. The First Emperor could confirm at a glance that Bude must be a descendant of his old friend. He was so similar that he looked like a mold.
What came out, especially Bude's dull and serious expression, reminded the First Emperor of the time long ago when his old friend always corrected his crazy behavior.
Only such a serious person would formulate rules that the family can abide by for thousands of years.
"Is it fun to drink alone?" The First Emperor came over.
Bude raised his head and saw the bright eyes of the First Emperor. Bude would not forget this face without thinking about it, Avenger. But when Bude was about to stand up and fight, excessive alcohol made his brain lose balance.
He staggered and sat back on his chair. The wooden chair wailed in protest and almost fell apart.
"You drank too much wine and need to eat something." The First Emperor sat at the table with Bude. "Waiter, I need food. It's hot, delicious, and of sufficient portion."
"..." It's not a hotel. The slutty girls in the bar are not as high-quality as the hotel waiters. The Emperor's request was already excessive for her, so she said in a mocking tone: "Come right away, hot and delicious.
Yes, enough food." But what she brought was just a big bowl filled with mashed potatoes.
Fortunately, it's not the First Emperor who wants to eat, "Eat it, it will make you feel better." Suddenly recalling that before he became emperor, he couldn't even eat mashed potatoes, and he couldn't help feeling that the empire he built after a thousand years is not useless.
At least people here can still eat mashed potatoes.
Bude really needed to recover. While eating potatoes, he happened to think about why this Avenger came to find him. He probably wanted to instigate him, and it seemed that they also had spies in the palace. Bude was not an idiot, and he thought of a lot in an instant.
Possible, and completely correct.
After finishing a bowl of food, Bude clapped his hands on the table and stood up, took out the money and put it on the table, "If you want to chat, come with me." If a fight breaks out here, innocent people will be affected, so it is better to go to an open place.
Place to go.
The First Emperor followed, and the two of them walked to the foot of the city wall.
"I thought you had guessed why I was looking for you." The First Emperor spoke first.
"If you want to instigate me to rebel against the empire, that is wishful thinking. My family has been serving the empire and the emperor from its establishment until now. I will not be a sinner of the family, nor a traitor of the empire." said
His Teigu was already emitting lightning.
"It seems that this is the only way to convince you." The First Emperor took off the gray cloak on his back, and the steel shield of faith was hidden underneath.
The two stood face to face and launched an attack at the same time, starting a battle of lightning and shields.
"Are you happy to tell me that you will protect this rotten country?!" The First Emperor's shield blocked the lightning, and a voice came from behind the shield, "Are you happy to see the people of the empire suffering?!! Seeing the evil party in trouble,
Do you feel happy?! Tell me if you feel happy in your heart??!!”
"I have nothing to say to you! Cluster laser——" The wrath of the Teigu Thunder God focused the electricity on the shield, pushing the First Emperor backward. Bude's original intention was to penetrate the opponent's shield, but unfortunately it backfired.
The attack was completely defended by the Steel Shield of Faith.
"No, your attacks are as weak and self-deceiving as your thoughts." said the First Emperor.
Bude was confused, because what the First Emperor said was all true. Of course he knew what was happening to the empire now, which was in endless chaos. His original idea was to first eliminate reactionary forces such as the revolutionary bandits and then take action to deal with Minister Ernest.
, but he forgot that the revolutionary army and bandits appeared because of Minister Onest. Minister Onest and the group of corrupt officials behind him were the culprits. If the minister is not removed, the empire will not be stable.
And what he did was just a ridiculous decision at the expense of the good.
"See how long you can hold on!" The cluster laser is strengthened and the opponent must be killed.
"Hahaha, it's useless. I am familiar with every Imperial Equipment, know their power, and know their limits. This Avengers Imperial Equipment is more powerful than the forty-eight Imperial Equipment." said the First Emperor, "You will always be like this.
They can’t recognize reality clearly and can’t see the truth behind the appearance.”
I saw the First Emperor move his shield, and the laser beam was reflected, hitting the city wall, bringing out a burst of smoke and dust, and creating a scorch mark on the city wall.
The First Emperor continued to move the shield, and the reflected laser was getting closer and closer to the person who fired it. By the time Bude realized that the situation was not good, it was already too late, and he was knocked away by his own laser.
"The victory has been decided." The First Emperor walked up to Bude, "You are so weak, do you still want to continue to protect this decaying old empire?"
Fortunately, Bude was still wearing his inconvenient armor, so he was not hit directly by the laser beam. Although he suffered a big blow, he was not unconscious, but was in pain all over his body and could not move for the time being. But he still used his firm
His eyes told the First Emperor that he would not regret it, and that he would not live alone if the empire collapsed. The empire and the emperor were the meaning of his existence.
"Very good look." As expected, she was exactly the same as her old friend. She put all her efforts into the country they built. Fortunately, her old friend did not come back to life, otherwise she would be so angry when she saw the current empire that she would lie down in the coffin again. "It's a pity.
But you don’t have the ability to see through the fog. You are blind in vain. You have such sharp eyes. Your ancestor Alice will definitely cry when she sees her family’s depravity.”
Alice, the name of an ancient ancestor, was the first noble in the family to hold a title, and was a close friend and colleague of the First Emperor. She established the empire together and served as the first general of the empire. She established a family motto for the family that "soldiers are not allowed to participate in politics."
A legendary figure who left a lasting mark on history.
The avenger in front of him said as if he knew his ancestor, "Who are you? You are just a thug. In the name of revenge, you just want to take away the empire's wealth. You have the same thoughts as other rebel revolutionary armies."
You want to overthrow an empire with a long history. Do you know the consequences of this? The empire will be divided, there will be continuous wars, and it will even return to the chaotic times before the establishment of the empire. This is the result you want, and I will never allow it."
Bude knew that the history before the establishment of the empire was even more chaotic than it is now. There were hungry and bandits all over the place. What he was worried about was that the division of the empire would lead to many years of wars.
"That's just an excuse for your weakness. You don't have the courage of your ancestors to assist the First Emperor in clearing up the six-in-one unification. What value does a country have to protect a country where the people are like livestock and the nobles are like rotten meat. Bude, what you are afraid of has actually happened.
It's just that you have been pretending not to see it." The First Emperor's eyes looked directly into General Bude's heart, "I saw that your small heart under your strong body was trembling because of Gu's words, you are afraid, you are afraid of yourself
You cannot bring peace to the world like your ancestors did, and you are afraid that you will not be able to make the empire survive the storm. Everything makes you terrified, and you wish you could take off your imperial gear and run away from everything."
"No..." Bude wailed, but every word of the First Emperor's words spoke to his heart. He did not have the talent and strategy of his ancestors. He knew that his military ability was not even comparable to that of Esdeath, at best.
He can be the leader of the palace guards, but he has no talent at all when it comes to fighting. He already knew these things when his father was alive, so he has been fearful all his life, fearing that the emperor would encounter rebels. He was afraid that he would not be able to help.
The emperor did everything, but he was always very serious and his personal force was justified, and his inner worries were not discovered by others. But now the emperor has spoken out everything, how can Bude not be afraid.
"There is no need to struggle. A true warrior dares to face his own weaknesses. Your ancestor is a hundred times stronger than you in this regard. She never thinks that she is perfect and will not cover up her weaknesses. You don't have to be afraid, Bude, everyone
They are all the same. Now, except for the little emperor who is not worried, everyone is worried about their future. The revolutionary army will worry about dying on the battlefield and about their family and friends behind them. The imperial soldiers will also worry about it, even Austrian soldiers will worry about it.
Minister Nestor will also be worried that his position will not be preserved..."
"Then what are you worried about? Are you worried that if you start the revolution too late, the revolutionary army will take away the credit?" Bude was still making his final struggle.
"No, I'm not worried about the revolutionary army. What I'm worried about is how the empire I built should end in a way that's grand and dignified."
"The empire you built?"
"Yes, to be precise, it was Gu who established the empire together with your ancestor, Grand Duke Alice. Gu is the founder of the Thousand-Year Empire, and will be the end of the empire and the founder of the new country. Gu is Motila.
St. Tyrande.”
"How is it possible??" Bude would never believe it.
"It turns out that I also think resurrection is nonsense, but you should learn more about the magic of the Dulan family. You have met him so many times in the palace, don't you know that he is not an ordinary person, but can travel through time?
The existences that travel between the worlds even surpass God to a certain extent, because they can do what God can do, and they can do what God cannot do. It was Dulan's wife who summoned me back from the darkness.
In the human world, I have given Gu Gu a young and strong body again, allowing Gu to return to the empire I built, so that Gu can have a beginning and an end." The First Emperor did not mind at all that the country he built was about to end, "Now, as the descendant of my old friend, are you willing to live with Gu?
Shall we change the world together?"
Bude was silent for a moment, seeming to be thinking, and then said, "No, even if you are the First Emperor, I will not follow you. My loyalty has been dedicated to the emperor on the throne and this country. Whoever intends to subvert the empire,
Who is the country, even if you are the First Emperor?"
Unexpectedly stubborn, but this is loyalty, or foolish loyalty.
"Stubborn as stone, she is also very much like Alice." The First Emperor pulled Bud up and jumped directly onto the city wall. "Open your eyes and see what those young people are doing."
The night raids and hunter battles in the distant valley raised smoke into the blue sky, which could be seen from the city wall.
"Those young people are the revolutionary army and your enemies, but they should be the future of the empire. The future of the empire is your enemy, what hope does this country have?" Shi Huangdi saw it clearly than Bude.
"Then there are hunters. They are also young people. Hunters are the hope of the empire." Bude continued to be stubborn.
"You mean that group of abnormal humans, bloodthirsty and murderous lunatics and barbarians, you say they are the hope of the empire? General Bude, you look down on the country that I founded. They are nothing more than nothing at best.
Scum of the empire. Stop lying to yourself, what's the point, what's the point?" The First Emperor shook Bude's shoulders, "Look at the young people who attacked at night, and then ask yourself, what did you see, and what's the point?
What to do?”
What did he see? Bude saw the end of the empire and it was time to deal with Minister Ernest.
