Chapter 1072

"When we received the order, we didn’t know what we were going to face.

As the son of a landlord who was born and raised in Sacrament , I was instilled in Legion by the commander father since I was a child, "We are noble pure-blooded empires", "Allegiance to the Imperial Family of Desalion is a born glory", when I rebelled with His Royal Highness Brandon, there was nothing It’s stressful.

The elderly banner leader told the young men in the regiment a lot of why they had to fight against the Sacklanders and even their own folks. Bigger than one; but in my opinion, he only needs to say a word.

Sacklanders are synonymous with loyalty, and disloyal people are not Sacklanders.

Nevertheless, it is still a very happy thing to be able to stop fighting with fellow citizens; even more how our trip is not to go to the fortress of Duanjieshan full of various heroes and legends. Rescuing your majesty the emperor who was besieged by the enemy-is there anything more exciting than such a "loyal act"?

Yes.

Time has blurred my memory ——I only remember the scorching sun when the violent vibration came, and we marched in a proud and neat line; but in the next second, we became a herd of lose one's head out of fear and flies without heads.

The old banner captain shouted desperately, snatched the bugle from the messenger and blew the assembly call; but it was of no use, because every panicked soldier immediately covered his ears;

Excited, I was about to rush up to help him maintain order, but the next second of timidity made me give up this idea-dozens of soldiers who fled desperately pushed the carriage full of luggage from the flag regiment The long body ran over.

I didn’t even dare to collect the body from the leader of the banner who had helped me, because I also lost one's head out of fear at the time, as desperate as every soldier I went looking for my luggage.

When I thought about it afterwards, I vaguely remembered that the vibration did not last long; One-fifth.

This is simply a shame to the Sacklanders! An army has not yet fought the enemy, and it has already suffered one-fifth of the casualties... The Holy Cross is on, this matter wants me to father I know, he will scold me harshly and beat me.

But as long as every officer who has experienced the turmoil, almost everyone breathes a sigh of relief—it depends on the situation at the time. It’s no surprise that the one third casualty.

After the commotion, the commander issued an order and set off immediately. The decision; this decision is very wise, because it first gives the soldiers who are still in a panic a task, so that they don’t have to think about it.

Secondly, because of the commotion during the day, our progress on the road has been much slower. If we don’t step up, I’m afraid it will be a lot at night.

But perhaps because of the "vibration" during the day, I had a vague premonition-maybe, we can't keep up with the battle of Duanjieshan.

I don't want to hide it, because it's true.

When we finally arrived at the fortress of Duanjieshan, there was no longer any "fortress" in Duanjieshan.

What we saw was a mountain of rubble and rubble, a stretch of ravines, a rolling mountain-we even thought that we were on the wrong path, but in the end we found that it was true.

Diejie Mountain... no longer exists.

Joy Andrew, the flag officer of Legion Third Banner Regiment, recorded in the Fortress of Broken Boundary Mountain......"

....................................... ...

Gently put down the letter paper in his hand, the black hair wizard raised his gaze and looked towards Edward the night watchman with a slightly complicated expression-although he himself is not much better.

"Edward, this is..."

"The information was about three days ago. Before Loren finished speaking, the night watchman coldly snatched: "Thank your friend Isaac Grantham, an earthquake destroyed the fortress of Broken Boundary Mountain. "

"More importantly, he seriously underestimated the solidity of Duanjie Mountain. Although the fortress was destroyed, it failed to cause a landslide. The northern part of the empire is now wide open, and there is not even a stronghold that can be defended; Of course, because of his calculation errors, those of us who are not blocked outside the mountains, freeze to death and starve to death on the ice sheet. "

" The Azorean elves of 2/3/2021 were buried alive under the rubble, and the remaining elves warrior desperately rushed south; now the Legion cavalry going north is cooperating with the Boi Hussars Encirclement and suppress them, but the effect is not great;"

"I am afraid that for a long time, these wizard warriors will become the scourge of the empire, thanks to Isaac Grantham. "

"Thanks to the female count of Charlotte Desalion. After she heard that Her Royal Highness Brandon's army went north, she immediately paid a large sum of money to purchase a large amount of grain from the Sacland landlord, and guaranteed Our supplies. "

"The troops going north are now stationed outside the ruins. They have cleared up a passage and an open space where they can camp as much as possible, waiting for the arrival of His Royal Highness Brandon and your troops. "

The voice fell, Edward pressed the corners of his mouth tightly, with an expression of "I told you what I should tell you".

Black hair wizard sighed helplessly: "You know This is not what I want to ask. "

"His Majesty Connold Dessalion, the thirteenth emperor of the empire died in the fortress of Duanjieshan...If you want to know this..." Edward Coldly said:

"You never have to worry about the threat from His Majesty Connold. As for Princess Zhang, Fettlownet... You fight. "

"Rout Infinite, Eckhart, Connold... No one in the empire can threaten you anymore, Lord Byrne. "Edward made no secret of frigid irony and scorching satire.

Loren stopped talking, and silently stared at him.

There was a brief but indifferent silence in the room. .

"He is not ready yet. "

After one minute, Edward the night watchman slowly opened the mouth and said: "Although he pretends that everything is normal, I can tell; he may have hated his elder brother, but he did not I've thought so soon...I'm going to become the new supreme emperor. "

"The imperial...the fourteenth generation of the highest emperor." "

Loren slightly nodded, Edward’s empty reaction tells himself that there is a faint "sympathy" in his emotions.

This is actually a very strange Feelings——Although I can get the same information from Edward’s words and expressions, Void Power’s response is faster than visual and auditory to complete the "information processing" and send the answers to my own consciousness, just like It’s that I have another set of completely different and more efficient senses.

This is not a good sign.

"For people in this world, Spirit and matter are like water and soil, impossible mixed together; any wizard, a mortal-even Logan in a hat or Roland the "Black Duke"-when they open the second valve, You must make a choice..."

"It is to retain more of the'material' side, as a life that masters the fundamental laws of the world, but lifespan is very limited and can be killed, or..."

"Sublimation of one's consciousness, turning oneself into a certain kind of'existence' in the void, repelled by the material world; only a little influence can be added to this world or'falling' in a certain relying on Void Power In the body;

"But...Dear Loren, these restrictions do not exist for you. Your mind and material are pure and one; this is a good thing and a bad thing."

"The advantage is that you don’t need to make a choice so quickly, and it is even possible that you will not need to make a choice in the next two to three hundred years; the disadvantage is that you can feel it every time you use Void Power To the'hostility' of this world."

"Because you are no longer just waving the wild beast of infinite power, but transcending it and possessing a higher level of'wisdom' existence."

"Your language, will, and even the lightning that collides with your thoughts are all'given' meaning by your own existence"

"The power you use is no longer a'borrowed' by you It comes, but the power itself comes from yourself-this world will feel the threat you can pose to it, and will do your best to repel you and your power."

The void and the material world belong to neither the left nor the right; sandwiched between Evil God and humans, neither belong to the former nor the latter...

No longer will "be what" , But "be yourself".

It sounds like a very difficult road. Fortunately, I don’t have to make any choices yet, and Brandon...

"What do I need to do?"

Loren lifts the head, quietly looked towards Edward.

"It's very simple, fulfill your promise." The night watchman said indifferently: "You promised Byrne will fully support His Royal Highness Brandon Desalion, and His Highness has helped more than once. You."

"So now is the time for Byrne to fulfill his promise-anyway, do your best to make Brandon Desalion the fourteenth emperor of the empire!"

"But he is already the Prince of East Sackland, the prince of the Empire; now that Connold is dying, shouldn't Brandon succeed him as a matter of course?"

"Theory That’s right, but we all know it’s not.” Edward’s tone became a bit like Rutt Infinite:

“Under the circumstances, His Royal Highness was given the title of “East”. Prince Sackland is just the helpless action of His Majesty Connold against the situation and the persecution of Byrne forces-even the Young Emperor country nobles think so, so it is difficult to say whether they are willing to recognize His Royal Highness's identity."

“even more how… Now there is Princess Zhang Feitronai in the Imperial Capital, and Golovin and West Sacrament are besieged by the Azorean elves; it’s hard to say once you learn about Kang The imperial nobles with news of His Majesty Nord’s death would make such a move; if they were so daring to bypass His Highness and directly recommend Princess Zhang..."

That would be troublesome.

Looking at Edward's slightly nervous expression, Loren knew what he meant.

The current situation seems to be very beneficial to Brandon-the rightful heir, holding the army and territory, the capital is under siege; as long as he leads the troops to clear the siege, there is no need to actually take the Azores Drive out, and the nobles who frightened the little heart will obediently offer the crown.

But actually...this is a kind of "naive" idea.

First of all, Imperial Capital Golovin is absolutely not to fall-she is not only a city, but also represents the imperial power of the Desalion family and the empire; once the capital falls, in a sense, It means that the empire has been subjugated, and the duchy no longer has the obligation to be loyal to the empire, so they can choose what they want to do.

The nobles of Imperial Capital know this even better than Brandon, so the threat of "the capital is down" is actually more similar to perish together.

Even if Brandon hates those nobles who hate him so much, he can't make fun of the future and destiny of the entire Desalion family. It is even more impossible to inherit the crown for thirteen generations. Throw it in his hands and let the empire return to the ancient kingdom era.

What he wants is a history, not a legacy.

After fourteen generations, the empire has a very complete set of "ritual norms" for "imperial power succession"-to put it more directly, it can be accepted and recognized by everyone Way.

among which is included the selection of the Holy Cross, the duke and the imperial aristocracy, are unanimously agreed from within the Imperial Family; its core purpose is to allow as many people as possible to participate and allow them to accept this result;

Holy Cross Church's recognition can draw the loyalty of the people at the bottom, and the approval of the imperial nobles can provide him with a set of efficient (rigid) and smooth (corrupt) ruling machines to realize his ideas and goals; In the end, the allegiance of the dukes provided him with more taxes, sources of troops and materials, so that his will was no longer confined to the Kingdom of Sackland.

Brandon’s support from all sides is indispensable, otherwise the significance of this crowning ceremony may not be much stronger than a game of self-entertainment.

So on the other hand, as long as one party does not participate, then Brandon’s coronation ceremony lacks "legality" and his crown is incomplete.

Therefore, in terms of the "popularity" of this highness in the empire, how many people he can win-even if it is coercion, temptation, coercion-is really unknown.

"What are your plans?"

The black hair wizard turned his gaze to Edward, although he didn't need to do that anymore.

"In the hands of the elf leader who attacked the fortress of Duojieshan, there is an iron crown symbolizing the imperial power-although I don’t know why this thing is in his hand instead of Xiong Yingwang, but this way Supreme Treasure itself It weighs more than a thousand gold." The night watchman coldly said:

"Furthermore, the body of Connold himself...just for condolences...there are rings and sabers on it, and the three treasures are in the same place. A coronation ceremony can be held."

"And now, the fortresses of the Broken Frontier Mountain, Legion, and the Sackland Country Legion are both in the Broken Frontier Mountain Fortress, together with Byrne and Boye, the most powerful in the empire. The army is all beside His Royal Highness Brandon."

"As long as there is the support of these soldiers, and the imperial aristocracy has not yet received news, Your Royal Highness does not need to care about the Golovin aristocracy and Holy Cross. Church’s ideas, crowned the emperor!"
