Chapter 1004

2014-10-17

It must be admitted that even if the Titus Empire is a rotten ship, this rotten ship has three pounds of nails.

These three pounds of nails are the so-called heritage! And this foundation is even more evident at the feet of Wang Ting.

So when the news of the unfavorable battle on the front line came back, there was a lot of chaos in the capital, causing a lot of discussion. But that's all there is to it, and there is no sense of panic like the imminent catastrophe.

It's not that the proud city folks are so calm, it's just that they don't really care. To put it bluntly, the news of the unfavorable battle on the front line is a kind of talk for them, a kind of talk that is more popular recently, and it will be out of date if they don't follow along.

Therefore, nobles are talking at elegant and gorgeous banquets, and commoners are talking at ordinary and plain dining tables. In large and small taverns, it is easy to hear rhetoric scolding the northern barbarians for being vulgar, the incompetence of the Titus army, and so on. Or, in some lively places, some urban youth suddenly shouted 'Thief, I will donate a saber. Fighting barbarians, I don't want to give my life...'

Well, let's not care whether the latter is to declare how loyal he is to the empire, or just to attract the admiration of a beautiful girl in the crowd. But it is certain that they did not take it seriously.

Of course, not everyone is so heartless. Some people have also discovered the strangeness, that is, when the barbarians from the northern barren invaded, it often took several months for the news to reach the capital of Titus, and sometimes the barbarians on the front line had already retreated before it even reached here. But this time is different. It hasn't even been a month since the war started, but the news has spread throughout Titus...

...

Outside the capital. Woodin Cottage.

Haita, which has been up the mountain once every ten days or so. Now almost everyday all will come here. brought news. It's getting heavier every day.

"...Master, the front line can't hold it anymore. Among the Three Great Legions, Zichen Legion was hit the hardest, Cang Yan was the second, thunder was fine, and his position was still stable. Only the other two Every front is retreating, in order to avoid being left alone, the thunder has to retreat... Based on this, the military department guessed that the supreme commander of the barbarians this time. It should be in the Zichen War Zone, which suffered heavy casualties."

"Only know the location?"

"Yes... Beihuang has kept the identity of the supreme commander a secret, even if he is a mid-advanced barbarian officer, he only received it before the war. Military orders, I don't know anything else, and I can't ask them if they are captured..." After hesitating, Haita said in a low voice, "Some people speculate that this time the leader of the army may be the Queen of the Northern Wilderness."

"Impossible!" Woodin shook his head in veto without thinking, affirmatively.

Haita was stunned when she heard the words, and then she seemed to understand something. Nomination: "It's just a guess, we don't think it's possible. Tentatively, it doesn't matter whether the Queen of the Northern Wilderness has this ability. Even if it does, arrows are flying all over the battlefield, and swords don't have eyes, she also It shouldn't be made. This kind of risky thing... Well, the reason for this guess is only because the barbarian commander encountered by the Thunder Legion is His Royal Highness Tiu of the Northern Wilderness. So..."

" That's not the reason." He waved his hand to interrupt, Woodin hesitated for a moment, his expression showed a hint of recollection, "I have met the Queen of the Northern Wilderness several times, she is talented and intelligent, rare in the world, and it is not a natural battlefield commander. It's too much. She has the ability to win, but this time it's her who is impossible...because now the most casualty is Zichen Legion."

The most casualty is Zichen Legion, so it is expected that Wasn't it the hand of the Queen of the Northern Wilderness? What logic is this... Haita couldn't figure it out, but seeing that Woodin obviously didn't want to say more, he had to press his doubts.

And Woodin, who seems to know the relationship between Ziyi and the Queen of the Northern Wilderness, how can he think that this time, although it is not the Queen of the Northern Wilderness, it is the descendant of the Queen of the Northern Wilderness, Lansa, and she can't think of her this time. Therefore, I chose Zichen Legion as the breakthrough port, not for any other strategic considerations, but just to see where the mother and Ziyi lived before, and then they naturally rushed in along the shortcut...

"Master, the situation on the front line must be planned early. Last night, the Northern Armament Office sent three battle reports in a row, and I hope that two complete Legions from the south will be dispatched to the front line immediately to provide support. It can be seen that the barbarian offensive is swift and fierce... Wang Ting's side is now a little bit. Panic, Your Majesty would like to hear your opinion from the master."

"Heh, what can I say as a Martial Artist..." Woodin shook his head and laughed, "I'm just Woodin, not Ziyi, let alone not. War God."

The words sounded a little dejected, and they did not have the peerless grace that Titus Guardian God should have. But that's the truth, Woodin is not bad Sword God, and it is not false that he is continent number one expert. But he was just a Martial Artist after all, even if he fought three thousand miles with a single sword, how could he be able to retreat from a million divisions alone? In the current situation, a peerless Martial Artist has limited effect unless a military god can be born out of nowhere. But Titus' more than a thousand years of war history has only produced a Ziyi, so this idea can only be thought about.

"Tell me about the Grey Cloth Armed Force." Woodin suddenly changed the subject and said, "Compared to the invasion of the Northern Wilderness, I am more shocked by their sudden emergence... Well, how are they doing now? Like?"

Haita doesn't fully understand Woodin's point of view, and in his view, there is no doubt that the northern barbarians are a greater threat today. However, Wen Yan was still replied: "Similar to the barbarians, the offensive is very fierce, and almost all the areas around the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains are under their control. It's just that compared to the unfathomable barbarian commander, their leader commander is slightly more Young, the strategic arrangement is quite satisfactory, so it is still within the controllable range. What is more troublesome is that they have recently occupied a military road, which has caused some problems in the transportation of material reinforcements here, which makes Wang Ting who is preparing to negotiate very angry... ...It seems that they are determined to fight Titus to the end this time."

Nodding, Woodin didn't look surprised: "No wonder people. I can't blame each other for stabbing a knife in the back first. Revenge now."

Haita brows slightly wrinkle: "But now is the time..."

Shaking his head, "Since you have become an enemy, don't expect the other party to be soft-hearted. The timing is the best opportunity for them to take advantage of the situation." Woodin saw it very openly, not surprised that Grey Cloth Armed Force is a bit of a profiting from somebody's misfortune move, but sighed slightly sadly, "It's us. Especially Wang Ting should reflect on this. It is a huge Great Empire. It makes its own people hate it to the bones. It is not surprising that the current domestic and foreign situation is in trouble."

"But after all, we are Titus people."

"It's just us." Woodin raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, "But you're right, we are Titus people, so we have to fight for this empire for the rest of our lives, even if we know it's already It's rotten and disgusting."

Haita's spirit was instantly lifted when he heard the words, he didn't care about the loneliness and desolation in the first half of Woodin's sentence, but only noticed the attitude and tone of the second half of the master's sentence: "What should we do? ?"

"It's very simple. How did we deal with the Grey Cloth Armed Force before, and how we deal with the northern barbarians now."

Slightly stunned, Haita raised her brows: "The master's You mean... capture the king?"

"It's impossible to capture the king, there are experts in the imperial city of the North Desolate, but you can try to capture the handsome..." Woodin squinted his turbid old eyes, "North Desolate Tribe The structure of the army is different from our Titus, our system is more complete. Dead generals, and lieutenants. Dead officers, and soldiers... No matter who you lose, command the system There will be no major problems. It's like we lost the Ziyi war god. Zichen Legion did not collapse either. But the Beihuang army is not good. They rely too much on the command and orders of the superior officers to march and fight. Of course. This is determined by their actual situation. Ordinary barbarians generally have low intelligence and must rely on their superiors, otherwise they will be scattered sand. Therefore, after Ziyi succeeded in chasing Angros last year, the Beihuang army chose to retreat before the defeat was obvious. "

Haita heard the words and continued to agree, and then frowned and asked: "But we don't have any information about the mysterious commander." "

"Didn't you already guess the general location? As long as you continue to fight in the Zichen Legion War Zone, you will always find some clues. "

"Then... who's going?" Haita looked up and looked towards Woodin, thinking of something, and shook her head firmly, "No, Master, you can't go..."

Woodin interrupted with a smile and waved: "I'm not going, of course, I'm going too." Useless. This is a stalking assassination, and it has to be done by professionals. "

Haita was immediately relaxed when she heard the words, bowed her head and pondered and said: "Professionals...there are many powerhouses in the royal court, but there are not many who are good at assassination." Well, maybe get in touch with Thief Guild and ask them to nominate a few candidates over there, and then give them a try..."

"Don't be so troublesome. "Woodin's mouth exposes a smile." Right now, there is a professional Assassin in the capital. "

A moment's surprise, "Master, you mean... er, Tang En?" Haita reacted quickly, and then remembered that there is indeed such a powerful character hidden in the capital now. And I have to admit that the other party's professional skills are absolutely beyond doubt - of course, not only threatened to assassinate the king, but also Sword God Successfully succeeded in clearing the traitor under the nose, with this courage and record, it is also a wrist on the entire Caesar Continent!

"If he can make a move, it would be great... But, he It shouldn't be helping us. ”

“It’s not supposed to be, it’s definitely. We're enemies, but that's normal... If our problem now becomes our problem with them, then it's different. "

paused, Woodin showed a slightly sly look, like an old fox that just jumped into the chicken coop, and persuaded him, "Think about it, why did he come to the capital." Think about where the Grey Cloth Armed Force is now... if I remember correctly, the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains are pretty close to the front? "

"Yes, the distance between the two places is only a few hundred kilometers, if you hurry... eh? "Haita's body was shocked, and he opened his mouth: "The teacher, the master means that we open the gap here, let the Grey Cloth Armed Force and the barbarians..."

"As of now, the border defense line is Absolutely unstoppable, no? "Tan Shou," That being the case, brought trouble to others is a normal method on the battlefield. I think at that time, Little Tang will make a move. "

took a deep breath, Haita's mind turned frantically, quickly calculating the feasibility of this strategy. After a moment of silence, he licked his lips: "Master wise... Now the question is, how to deal with this matter To negotiate with that Tang En, at least have a word of mouth. But we don't even know where he is now. "

Woodin seems to have thought about the details before and after, and said casually: "Then feel wronged about my grandson..."

"Uh... well idea! ”

……

……

Soon, the people of the capital found that they had recently added an attractive spectacle to talk about.

Philip is in trouble!

As a Legendary Grade other character who makes the divorce rate in the capital skyrocket year by year, makes the women in the capital love and hate it, and makes the men in the capital hate being beaten a hundred times a day, Imperial Capital flower wolf Philip. It harms the chastity of sisters innumerable. It spoils the chastity of young women innumerable. And because of the complex taste and wide range of interests. From the palace minister's wife and concubines. Down to ordinary people's little girls. Just look right. Never picky eaters. Let him cause countless debts, and those who want to cut him can line up from the royal castle to the east gate...

It's not unusual for such a thing to get into trouble every three days.

But this time the situation was different, and I don't know what he was thinking. He ran to hook up with the young wife of a veteran general with great authority in the military. You know, the Old General was not easy. After the death of the main wife, the beautiful young wife who was raised outside was dignified and married in the door. Unexpectedly, the happy event here was not over. The wolf was eyeing over there...

To Not to mention a veteran, his temper is hot. After breaking a good thing, he just used his old body with a long-handled machete to chase down Philip's three streets, causing a stir in the city, known to everyone.

Of course, unlike the ordinary people who talked about the fact that Imperial Capital Hualang was completely planted this time, people in the upper circle of the capital knew Philip’s true identity. It was similar to what happened when Philip hooked up with the daughter of an old congressman. He was also forced to jump off the wall by the other party with a cane. In the end, it was nothing.

But then the situation changed. First, the Philip family announced If he wants to cut off his relationship with him, then Sword God, who has not asked about world affairs all the year round, seems to be unable to see the virtue of his own grandson. He personally sent a message to the royal castle to deal with him strictly, which caused the entire capital to explode...

I don't need to think about it at all, just use Philip's crime, especially the countless cases that broke the chastity of young women. Once they are investigated and dealt with strictly, it will be the rhythm of the hanging post!

Just When the great characters of the aristocrats also felt that Philip had completely let go this time, the situation that followed was a bit strange. In the first trial, not only the beautiful young wife of Old General did not come, but there were no other victims. Standing up to testify against Philip, he was wronged as if he were a pure little white flower...

But of course it wasn't In this way, the court also miscalculated. They thought that based on Philip's reputation, although there was no system statistics, the young women who were hooked up by him in the capital had to be dozens of people at least. (Not counting unmarried girls, Titus's atmosphere is still relatively open. As long as young men and women are willing, they can't be considered crimes.) They get this opportunity, why don't they come and expose his true face? Thinking of this, the court did not spend much time investigating and subpoenaing the victim.

But who ever wanted to make trouble to the end, now no one has come forward to testify, and when asked, he has denied it. On the contrary, there were quite a few complaining husbands wearing cuckolds, and they also complained for a long time. Unfortunately, their testimony was not counted. This scene was so dreadful that the Old General didn't spit out blood directly...

In the end, the first trial ended in a stalemate for a long time. Philip returned home safe and sound, waiting for the second arraignment.

And after this battle, Philip's name was completely launched, like a living Legendary, worshipped by countless young people in the noble circle. This is a miracle that can only be achieved by fucking awesome and glittering girl-picking skills. If you break the chastity of others, not only will you not be resented, but it will be tacitly maintained by the victims. This feat is unprecedented, and no one has come since.

However, as the real party, Philip doesn't feel so proud now...

In the evening, in the courtyard of the single-family attic.

Philip was drinking alone and was very depressed. Not because of the current matter, but because of being used as a tool without a choice, and I can't say anything about it.

He raised his head and groaned in resentment, "You are really my grandfather! My grandfather! You are so familiar with my younger generation..."

"Mummy, I don't make friends. Shen, how did you let me know you are such a scourge... I didn't get any benefits, but there were a lot of shit, and in the end it was always me..."

"Why? , said that I'm not familiar with him. It's useless to kill me, he still won't come out..." A gust of cool wind swept through, and he shivered, "Forget it, you should come out as soon as possible, otherwise The old fogey still doesn't know what to do... I can't stand it..."

shook the head, raised his head and poured his mouth again, no wine dripped, shook it, and threw the big one away. Shout, "George, George uncle, get me another can of wine, today I'm going to... Uh, a drunk can relieve a thousand sorrows..."

The words ended, a middle age person dressed as a standard steward appeared in the courtyard with a wine can, approached, and did not directly pass After passing the wine jar, he looked at Philip who was slightly drunk, sat down opposite, picked up the wine bowl and poured himself some wine first.

"Ha... not bad, good, let's drink together, let's drink together. Drink it to taste... Come on, fill me up! "

The middle-aged steward filled the wine bowl dangling in Philip's hand as he said, and then leaned on his chin to watch.

"Drink... Hey, why don't you?" drink? Philip opened his slightly drunk eyes, looked at the middle-aged Steward who was still thinking, and urged, "Drink... oh, yes, clink glasses first..."

"I said... Blocking Philip from handing over the wine bowl, the middle-aged steward rubbed his forehead, browsing slightly wrinkle, "Is it interesting for your old fogey to do this? Haven't you tried it all? Even if you want to meet and talk with me, just say it directly, you need... uh, to use such a self-harm trick? "

"What, what? George uncle you said... Damn! ”
