Chapter 359, The New Emperor
On a clear day, the rats who charged forward were defeated on the endless flat land, and their bodies were evenly spread over every inch of the land.
Retreating in disgrace.
This desperate move did not bring them victory.
The remaining rat army began to retreat, licking their wounds in the underground tunnels that had been dug and reinforced.
The situation ushered in a rare moment of stability.
The rat armies advancing in both directions were blocked.
The City of the Sun.
The elderly emperor died after a sudden illness, and the fierce power struggle reached the most critical moment.
In the towering castle, in the shadow, blood was stained every moment, and the ambitious people made their debut.
Until a complicated and exquisite cannon was pushed in front of the castle, a group of soldiers with neat formations and strange objects in their hands stood in front of the castle representing power.
Without more tedious speeches, the roaring magic cannon broke through the tall and heavy gate, and the soldiers with indifferent and numb expressions filed in. They used the strange objects in their hands, those things that looked like tubes, to wantonly slaughter the ambitious people gathered in the castle.
In front of the throne, a young man in gorgeous robes appeared. He was wearing robes representing the emperor.
He seemed to think that he was the new emperor of the empire.
It was a pity that the soldiers who broke in here shattered his beautiful dream.
In fear, he shouted loudly at the soldiers in front of him until a figure appeared in front of him.
That dazzling knight, the former hero, the useless man who could never stand up again, just appeared in front of him like this.
It brought him fear.
After experiencing all this, Caesar was a little calmer than before.
He raised his head and looked at his younger brother in front of him, the fifth prince of the empire, his own brother.
He said very calmly.
"Stop making trouble, come down."
But such calm words did not calm the young man standing on the throne.
He raised the sword in his hand and roared at Caesar in front of him with a ferocious face.
Caesar seemed very calm in the face of such a scene, and even had some thoughts in his eyes.
He was not unfamiliar with his brother in front of him. They had played in the garden of this castle before.
But now it turned out like this.
The soldiers gathered here could not accept such a threat. It was an offense to their great prince.
A gray-white beam of light appeared in everyone's sight, and a large burnt hole appeared on the forehead of the young man who was waving the sword in his hand.
He knelt on the ground helplessly, with the expression on his face still showing the ferocity just now, but it was a pity that his life was fleeting.
He fell in front of this luxurious throne and was silent.
Caesar looked at such a scene, and his expression on his face paused a little. Just when he wanted to say something, the soldier who fired the gun pulled out his short blade from his waist.
This was also a young man, an ordinary young man, with a rough and sallow face baptized by the scorching sun and wind.
An ordinary peasant boy.
The fanatical sight finally stopped at Caesar, blood spurted out of his throat, and another figure fell in the hall.
Caesar, who was watching all this, had more unspeakable meanings on his face.
When Caesar decided to stand up, he would undoubtedly respond to some prayers. Many people left him during this period, but more people stayed and still gathered around him.
He would undoubtedly respond to their expectations.
He took a step forward, and the metal-cast feet made a crisp click when they landed on the marble-paved hall.
Approaching the luxurious throne.
Under the fanatical gaze of the guys gathered in the hall.
Finally sat down and completed the coronation.
At the end of this turmoil, in a situation that no one expected or anticipated, an unexpected name won the final victory.
Well, maybe it's not unexpected. After all, this name was almost predetermined for which emperor, and even this turmoil started with his gloom.
Caesar made many changes to this old empire.
The wizard community has taken a step forward in this rotten empire.
Even Caesar's crown was cast and crowned by twelve great wizards.
Many things have been implemented and many things have changed.
The establishment of the Wizard Association and the establishment of the Magic Equipment Manufacturing Association.
From then on, every child of school age in the empire will have the opportunity to test wizard talent for free, and all magic schools will be integrated together in the connection between the Wizard Association and the twelve great wizards.
Some apprentice wizards who have never been able to make a breakthrough in their studies and wizard level will be transferred to various parts of the empire.
More magic enlightenment schools will be opened.
All kinds of changes are overwhelming, and even make people feel that wizards seem to be the leaders of this empire.
All this was done by the new emperor of the empire with the tacit consent of Caesar.
This caused dissatisfaction among the nobles, but they were severely damaged by the rats, and at least now, they no longer had the power they had before.
And a more serious problem was placed in front of these nobles.
The invasion of the rats.
In order to deal with the dissatisfaction of the nobles, the various magic equipment on the front line and the special forces directly under Caesar were retreated to a certain extent.
Immediately, the rats who couldn't wait to rush forward gave the nobles plenty of room to turn around.
In any case, no matter what the contradictions were, they were insignificant and not worth mentioning in front of the rats.
After all, the rats really wanted to pile all of them on the altar regardless of their status.
All the contradictions were temporarily suppressed.
Of course, Caesar did not completely let these mages grab what they wanted.
Except for a mage inauguration ceremony that gave face on the surface.
At the inauguration ceremony of each mage, there will be a section to pledge allegiance to the imperial family, indicating that they are always loyal to the imperial family.
But this is just a ceremony, and everyone understands this.
But Caesar requires more than just this.
Today is the day for the new Mage Association to prove its promise to Caesar.
An ordinary carriage drove out of the still dazzling city of the sun.
Not many people know that at this moment, the newly appointed emperor of the empire, the emperor of the empire who has attracted too much attention, is sitting on this ordinary carriage.
Not only him, but also a great wizard is here to accompany Caesar.
Some guards are surrounding him. In fact, not only around him, but also Caesar's guards are driving this carriage. The carriage is quite stable. Of course, what the young man driving the carriage will never tell you is that he probably only pulled a donkey cart before, but he just likes to brag when drinking.
A famous coachman in the surrounding area, wrong, a famous donkey cart boy in the surrounding area.
He is very excited and very excited. After all, the donkey cart boy in the surrounding area can now pull the carriage of His Highness, His Highness the Emperor.
I just don't know if Caesar and the great wizard in the carriage can still sit and chat and laugh after knowing this.
In the carriage, Caesar and the great wizard were chatting casually.
The great wizard seemed a little curious.
"I didn't expect His Highness Caesar to pay so much attention to farming."
Caesar seemed indifferent to his curiosity, but lifted the curtain of the carriage and cast his eyes on the farmland on both sides of the road.
These abandoned farmlands are now busy sowing.
Some windmills are turning to guide the water into the plowed farmland. The water will not accumulate in the farmland for a long time. After standing for a period of time, it will flow to the next farmland under the guidance of the ditch.
At this time, some insects in the soil will float up, and the ducklings driven to the farmland will swing their bodies and peck at them.
The return of the sun is rapidly revitalizing the world. Often after a heavy rain, you can see dense new buds sprouting on those barren mountain lands.
At the same time, animals did not disappear. Those violent demonized beasts and a considerable number of unstable demonized beasts degenerated. Their offspring became ordinary from generation to generation. It would not take long for them to recover to become ordinary animals.
Everything was recovering at a very fast speed.
Of course, insects were still not very popular.
This was just an ordinary farming scene. There seemed to be nothing strange, but the speed and efficiency of farming were unexpectedly high.
Only by looking carefully could we find the reason.
Some wizard apprentices appeared in this field. Whether it was guiding the river water, loosening the soil, or removing weeds, these processes became extremely efficient after the participation of these wizards. In addition, not far away, there were some flashing magic machines moving in this large farmland.
Seeing this, Caesar retracted his sight.
"This is not so strange. After all, whether it is you mages, the soldiers on the front line, or my guards, most of the people in this empire come from these fields, and we have to live on the bread produced in the fields."
Caesar gave an answer.
But this answer made the great mage stunned.
His curiosity was answered.
But this answer was a bit unexpected.
He thought it would be some other answers, in order to win over his guards and make them more loyal.
For the next war, after all, his hands and feet were taken away by the rats.
In order to gain a higher reputation, the great mages have to be restrained when facing him.
After thinking about these answers, I didn't think of such a sentence.
"Most of the empire?"
The great mage pondered such a sentence and murmured to himself.
When he raised his head, the sight of Caesar was more gentle.
This is a good answer. Everyone likes a bright and upright guy, and he is no exception.
Boasted to Caesar.
"You will be a great emperor."
Caesar did not respond to this.
The great wizards proved to Caesar that they would fulfill their promise.
This ordinary carriage was driving steadily on the road around the field.
Perhaps this decadent empire can be revitalized again, which is an incredible thing.
After all, such a change seems to have happened once in this empire a long time ago.
But this time, can it be reborn?
It is a little difficult, very difficult, after all, the rats are here.
By the way, there is a familiar guy in that field.
A young man, Arthur, who is humming and operating a strange-looking magic machine under the hot sun.
This is a strange-looking magic machine, a rectangular iron box with a rough track structure, and a few thick iron hooks are dragged at the tail.
It looks like some hideous war machine, and the dragged iron hooks are very suitable for disemboweling the enemy, but it is not, it is just a magic plow.
Its operator, Arthur, wiped the sweat from his forehead in the hot sun.
Damn it, he was going to change his career after harvesting the wheat, he was tired of dealing with the wheat and this muddy field.
This guy who was full of complaints seemed to have suffered a lot during this period. His whole body was tanned. From a distance, he looked like a black potato with golden hair.
It made people laugh.
It can only be said that he was indeed destined to farm. Just when he was about to change his career, the Mage Association found him. After all, he was the first person to use magic equipment to grow crops.
Under the temptation of being promoted to the official title of mage, he returned to the business of farming again.
But it was not an easy thing.
After complaining for a while, Arthur, who was full of complaints, silently started the swaying magic machine under him again.
In the roar, it shook and broke the soil of the abandoned field in the scorching sun.
A hardworking farmer, yes, Arthur seemed to be a hero, a hardworking farming hero.
………….
The peace would not last long.
In the rolling hills, a huge rat fleet has been formed.
For the rats, this ocean route does not pose any real threat, especially after the launch of the larger, heavier, straight chimney-like behemoth that spews out black smoke every moment.
It can be said that the rats have no opponents on the sea level.
Sheng Qi's Western Fleet will continue his voyage.
A new battlefield will be opened up.
Although the Western Fleet at this time has the same problem as the new Eastern Expeditionary Force.
Too scattered, too unfocused.
But it doesn't matter, after mastering the hegemony of the ocean, this means one thing.
No matter what kind of setbacks and defeats they have experienced, a stable and unstoppable road has been opened, and countless rat warriors will be sent to the main continent through this road.
This will be a battlefield that never stops, and it will also be a wound that cannot stop bleeding.
