Chapter 639 [National change! 】

The prosperity of the imperial capital did not seem to be affected much by the war. Since the beginning of this year, the situation in the north seems to have improved greatly. First, Duke Tulip conquered the fallen eastern fortress, and then General Alpay succeeded in repeated raids on the western front. A series of victories, large or small, made public opinion Full of optimism.

Originally, for the vast majority of people in the Roland Empire, whether it was the upper-class dignitaries or the middle- and lower-class civilians, they had never really regarded the invading monster races as a serious problem—after all, the national strength of the empire lay here.

The empire owns the entire continent, with a vast land and a large population. Human civilization is also in a relatively developed period. Moreover, under the leadership of the wise regent, the national power is gradually recovering, and it has gradually got rid of the kind of people who lived under Augustine VI during his reign. Drowsy twilight.

For most people, they just think that the war in the north is just a relatively large local war.  Even more people think that those invading monster races may not be as threatening as the Northwest Grassland people who have been fighting the empire for decades.

But this time, the little emperor, His Majesty Charles, personally went to the front to reward the army. When the news came out, the optimism was even more extreme.  Even folks believe that, if they are optimistic, the war might end within tomorrow.

Moreover, because of the war, the empire vigorously developed military industry, whether it was the supply of food, ordnance, and so on. Private productivity to greatly stimulate.

After all, for a big empire that owns the entire continent, the national power still has a lot of potential to be tapped.

The empire funded the official purchase, which aroused the great enthusiasm of the non-governmental business associations. For a while, some relatively large-scale business association teams from all over the mainland were concentrated in the imperial capital, and they all rushed to the imperial capital in an attempt to win over the financial department and the headquarters. logistics department. He sharpened his head and wanted to get in and open up a way to get an official purchase order from the empire.

this time. The busiest person, without a doubt, was the special minister who was promoted before the war to be in charge of logistics supplies in the war zone, that fat man of Delan Mountain Warcraft.

Delan Mountain Warcraft was suppressed by the Tulip family for several consecutive years, although everyone has a very good personal relationship. Besides, this fat man is also very sensible, knowing that the Duke of Tulip is popular, and he can't compete with the other party, so he simply doesn't fight. However, since the war, after he was promoted by FireWire, he has made a lot of war money by relying on the power in his hand, and the weapons industry in his family has been producing at full capacity.

The private ranking in the elite circle of the imperial capital, at least in this year's view.  On the wealth list of the empire, the Delanshan Warcraft finally overwhelmed the Tulip family again. Although the fat man didn't say anything, he was not without complacency in his heart.

Of course, what Delanshan Warcraft didn't know was that many of Du Wei's industries were underground.  Not exposed to countertops.

—————————————————————————————

On this day, the imperial capital was still as noisy as before, but suddenly at noon, an unusual thing happened at the northern city gate!

At noon, the defenders of the city gate were meticulously checking the city defense clearance, and then suddenly, dust rose from the distance of the road, and a group of cavalry came galloping like a whirlwind!

This group of cavalry looked to be about 300 cavalry, but they were running wildly.  But it seems extremely arrogant.  Come all the way, even ignoring the newcomers and teams on the road. Running so fast that he even trampled on his horse!

At the foot of the imperial capital, acting so arrogantly caused a burst of chaos.

The cavalry crashed into the city gate? Is this okay?

The imperial guards guarding the city are ready to fight immediately! But when this group of cavalry came close, they found that the opponent's number was only more than a hundred, but each of them had two or three cavalry. It seems that I have traveled a long distance, and I have been rushing crazily along the way. If I bring extra horses, I can change horses to maintain my foot strength and speed.

Such a tense and rapid march is rare even in the army, let alone in the central area of ​​the imperial capital?

The guards defending the city were about to stop them, but the opponent's cavalry came from a distance, and the first few cavalry rushed to the front, and they showed their flags from a distance!

In the hands of several knights, each held a different banner, namely: an emergency military situation card in the northern theater! And...a golden thorn flower imperial flag! ! .

Seeing such a scene, the soldiers guarding the city did not dare to stop them. Although this group of cavalry came on a rampage, trampling many pedestrian convoys on their backs along the way, cursing and crying all the way, these soldiers hurried Open the city gate wide, hold weapons in hand, and disperse all the civilians lining up under the city gate to enter the city!

With such behavior, even though the people around were dissatisfied, they didn't dare to shout anything. The atmosphere became very tense for a while, as if it foreshadowed that something big was going to happen!

This team of cavalry rushed under the city gate like a whirlwind, without stopping at all, it rushed into the city like a gust of wind, and the dust brought up by the horseshoes flew all the way, making the soldiers and civilians under the city gate ashamed .

Moreover, this group of cavalry came from afar. Although they were extremely exhausted, the knights on horseback were clearly the best of the best! Although the formation of a group of cavalry is somewhat scattered, but the chilling aura, they are obviously not ordinary cavalry!

When this cavalry team entered the city, the soldiers and civilians under the city gate couldn't help discussing in a low voice: Could it be that news of the military situation in the north came back to rush the city gate so urgently?

Could it be that he won the battle again?

Immediately, someone was worried in a low voice: "Looking at the anxious look, it doesn't seem like you have won the battle, could it be..."

Others immediately retorted: "Bah, bah, bah! With a hero like Lord Tulip on the front line, how could he lose the battle!"

Others talked a lot, but it was the officers guarding the city. But with a complicated expression on his face!

It was a coincidence that the officer guarding the city was an old soldier who had been guarding the city gate all year round. After the cavalry rushed in just now, he happened to see clearly, among the cavalry. Surrounded by all the riders, the innermost one got on. It is clearly a half-grown boy wearing a robe! And although this young man was wearing a bamboo hat, he had a hasty glance just now, and he happened to see the other party's face clearly!

Is...Your Majesty? !

What frightened the officers was, didn't His Majesty the Little Emperor reward the soldiers of the army in the north? What happened, why did you come back in such a hurry?

———————————————————————————

In the square outside the imperial city, people turned their backs on the street all the way, and that cavalry team almost savagely rushed all the way to passers-by! Naturally, there were countless trampled and injured people along the way.  But this group of cavalry was so fast that even the patrols of the surrounding security stations rushed to the area of ​​the imperial city before they could react!

The Imperial Forest Army guarding around the square hurried up to meet them, but then, after the group of cavalry stopped, the man in the middle rode to the front, and the murderous Imperial Forest Army who came up to greet them clearly saw who was coming, and immediately knelt down. go down.  Shouting "Long live Your Majesty"! !

Little Charlie looked exhausted, his physical strength had almost reached the critical point of collapse. At the age of only eleven years old, he has been running non-stop for days. Even though he has received riding training since he was a child, his physical strength is absolutely difficult to support!

But after the news spread to the north, how could little Charlie, who was rewarding the army, dare to waste half a day? Immediately dropped everything.  Hurriedly took people all the way south to the imperial capital!

There were thousands of cavalry who came back with him to the south along the way, but in order to maintain mobility on the road, Little Charlie temporarily ordered some of them to stay and give up their horses, keeping the number of three or four hundred men, each with at least three horses, It's almost a long-distance Mercedes-Benz all the way around the clock!

Although, there was an accompanying court magician who gave little Charlie a lot of magic secret medicine to forcibly replenish his physical strength. But running so hard, the eleven-year-old boy almost collapsed.

At this moment, he finally came to the gate of the palace. Charlie's first reaction was to look up at the flag on the wall of the imperial city. Seeing that the golden thorn flower flag is still flying, there is nothing unusual.  And saw the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army guarding the imperial city. It was still dressed in the usual armor, and there was no special service, so I was a little relieved.

As soon as Ruo Rilai let go of the breath he held, Charlie immediately felt his body go limp, and then he swayed and fell backwards. The people around him were shocked, and two guards rushed to support him. Charlie shook his head vigorously, gritted his teeth, pushed the people away, and shouted in a low voice, "I can walk by myself!"

He glanced at the officer of the Royal Forest Army who came out to meet him again: "Quick! Take me into the city! I want to see my father! Immediately!"

Running all the way into the imperial city, Charlie didn't even care about the series of bathing etiquette that the emperor had to carry out when he returned to the palace. He almost violently pushed the court ceremonial officer and court servants away, let alone waiting for the court attendants to lead the way. , didn't even take off the leather armor on his body, and he was still wearing riding boots, just ran all the way! .

Passing through the main hall, square, and corridors, and entering the interior of the palace, along the way, to Charlie's surprise, what he saw was obviously at least three times more defensive than before he left! !

When I walked all the way into the imperial capital, everything in the city seemed to be as usual, and the number of shifts of the royal guards did not increase. On the streets of the imperial capital, there were not many patrol teams from the security station.

Even in the squares outside the imperial city, the number of Imperial Forest Army did not increase.

However, when we got to the inside of the imperial palace, especially all the way in, we saw that the Imperial Forest Army was fully armed, guarding all the palace gates, corridors, and main roads in the imperial city tightly!

The Royal Forest Army looked dignified one by one, as if they were facing a big enemy! !

This scene made Charlie, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, involuntarily become nervous again, and besides the tension, there was even a hint of excitement in his eyes! !

Finally, he rushed into the hall that he was familiar with, even ignoring the notification from the waiter outside, he directly strode in. He is the emperor of the empire, how dare the imperial guards outside stop him.  He could only let him rush into the hall alone...

Here, it is the actual ruler of the empire, the residence of Prince Regent Chen! !

Walking into the main hall, what immediately greeted him was a strong smell of medicine that filled the air. The taste is very complex, as if the taste of many medicinal herbs is mixed together, which makes people feel quite stuffy.

The hall was full of solemnity.  On a large bed in the middle of the distance, surrounded by curtains. A faint figure was lying there powerlessly.  Around the big bed, several court magicians in red robes were standing silently.

Around, two red-robed court mages were nervously preparing magic potions, and even the court mages were running back and forth, holding pieces of parchment in their hands. I don't know what kind of ancient medicine formula is recorded on it.

Inside the curtain, there were two other figures sitting on the head of the bed, one large and one small, and the slightly larger figure was naturally the queen of the regent, that is, Charlie's mother. The smaller figure turned his head at this moment and glanced at Charlie. Delicate face, still with a trace of childish face, but there was some faint uneasiness in her eyes. When she saw Charlie striding forward, she seemed relieved and stood up.  Quickly called out: "Brother!"

Charlie was flustered and excited at the moment, and he still had some vague expectations. When he heard his sister's shout, he just nodded, but he had already lifted the curtain, rushed to the side of the big bed, and his eyes fell on the big bed. The person on the bed couldn't help but freeze...

The regent of the empire, Prince Chen, lay quietly on the bed.

His face was so pale it was almost transparent.  Above the cheeks.  Not even half a gleam, and even his lips can't see much blood! Such a look.  Obviously very sick!

When Charlie saw it, he couldn't help but froze!

The person on the bed...is it really the father who made him feel awe in his heart?

The energetic, self-assured father seemed to have lost all his aura at this moment, lying there almost helplessly.

The pair of eyes that had made him awe were half closed, and his breath was slight, as if he had lost his mind. And the father's originally slender and strong fingers rested weakly on the side of the bed... His brows were slightly frowned, as if he was suffering from illness.

Charlie stayed there for quite a while, but felt a small hand beside him tugging at the corner of his clothes, looked down, and saw his younger sister, Princess Karina, looking at him, he just woke up, and hurriedly Kneeling down, he yelled out in a low voice: "Father! I, I'm back!"

Prince Chen's wife, the queen regent of the empire, is a graceful and gentle woman, her face is already covered with tears, she reached out and hugged Charlie, before she could speak, she burst into tears.

When Charlie heard the sound of crying, he didn't know why, but suddenly felt a little dazed...

He is rational and understands what happened!

Look at this...Father, it seems to be...

A few days ago, Charlie, who was rewarding the army on the northern front, suddenly received an urgent secret letter from the Imperial Palace! This letter was not sent by the Imperial Forest Army, but in a hurry, a court magician personally sent it! !

There were not many words in the letter, only a few words: Wang is critically ill! The country has no master! Come back soon! ! .

Charlie, who saw this secret letter at the time, felt as if something in his heart burst suddenly! I don't know what it feels like, sad? nervous? Agitation? expect?

There seems to be a little bit of every feeling!

However, as a young and mature emperor, as a person who was already ambitious for power, he immediately left everything behind, led people without hesitation, exhausted all means, and hurried back to the imperial capital!

Father is critically ill!

If he dies! I must hurry back!

Otherwise, once my father dies and I'm not in the imperial capital...God knows what troubles will happen!

Although the current political situation in the country is stable, the desire and ambition for power in his heart make Charlie absolutely not allow even the slightest threat!

Along the way, how many horses ran to death, and the whole person was so shocked that he couldn't care less!

At this moment, finally standing beside Prince Chen's bed, Charlie seemed a little dazed again.

all the time. Father is the pillar of the empire! Although I secretly hated that my father held all the power in his hands, but...unconsciously, everything has always been dependent on him!

But now, he has fallen, standing in front of the power that is about to be obtained at his fingertips. Little Charlie couldn't help feeling a little panic in his heart.

This feeling alternately under the impact. After he only yelled, he was already stunned. Even though the queen held him in her arms, the little emperor bit his lip and stared at his father lying on the bed tightly. what exactly is it……

finally. The queen cried for a while, and let go of Charlie. At this moment, Princess Karina spoke softly, telling what had happened.

Karina's voice was a little hoarse, she had obviously cried a lot, and her eyes were a little red and swollen.  There are still tears on the cheeks.

While sobbing, the little princess told the story of Prince Chen's illness.

Many days ago, during a court meeting, Prince Chen seemed to be in a faintly unhealthy state in those days.  But in that meeting, he still forcibly supported it.  At the time of the meeting, he behaved as usual. Still the calm, serious and energetic look.  He even fired a fire at the Minister of Military Affairs Camisiro for the issue of the mobilization of front-line weapons and military salaries.

But as the meeting ended, Prince Chen just walked to the back, and immediately died!

Under the eyes of dozens of guards and servants around him, he suddenly fell down without a sound! At that time, the people around were shocked, but then, several court magicians rushed up, and without any explanation, they forcibly took Prince Chen away. Bring it directly to the residence in the palace.

The scene was a bit chaotic.  While the court magician was in a hurry, he almost had some misunderstandings with the Imperial Forest Army.

fortunately. Prince Chen woke up for a short while later, and personally ordered the Imperial Forest Army to guard the outside, while his own illness was handed over to the court magician, and no one else could interfere! Even the main hall where he lived was not allowed to enter any Imperial Forest Army! It can be seen that Prince Chen has deep trust in the court magician!

The court magician had been busy for a whole day and had been rescued, but Prince Chen was still half-conscious. He was in a coma most of the time, only occasionally waking up for a moment, but he would pass out again soon.

Later, the queen and the little princess came to guard the hospital bed. With the arrival of the queen, although the royal family's practice, no matter whether it is the queen or the queen, will not interfere in government affairs, but after all, the queen is the official wife of Prince Chen, and she will come to preside over the overall situation. , It also made everyone feel at ease a lot.

It's a pity that although this queen is graceful and gentle, she is not a woman with great wisdom. Facing such a crisis, she is a little flustered and at a loss.

At this time, it was the little princess Karina who stood up. She first calmed down her mother's emotions, and then through the queen's mouth, she conveyed one order after another!

Her first order was to summon Charlie back as quickly as possible! Because it seems that Prince Chen's condition is critical, and if something happens, the empire will soon face a change of power! At this moment, Charlie must be present!

The second order is a series of mobilization of the Imperial Forest Army!

Karina ordered that this matter must be kept strictly confidential! All the forty-six personal guards and servants who saw Prince Chen faint that day were all temporarily locked up—Karina is still a child after all, although she is smart, she is soft-hearted after all. If this kind of thing were replaced by other mature and ruthless politicians, I am afraid that for the sake of temporary secrecy, they would have ordered all of them to be killed! ! .

Afterwards, the mobilization of the Royal Forest Army was tightly restricted within the imperial city! Karina's political sense is far better than others. Although she is young, she knows who the enemy of the royal family is! At this moment, stability is the most important thing!

Before Charlie, the legal heir of the empire, comes back, the matter cannot be publicized, otherwise, it is inevitable that some ambitious people will play tricks! Especially... the temple!

Therefore, there was not much mobilization of the guards in the imperial city, and even the public security office in the imperial capital did not move. Karina's principle is simply four words: loose on the outside and tight on the inside!

At this moment, looking at her brother who was in a daze, Karina wiped her eyes vigorously, took a deep look at her mother, pulled Charlie again, and said seriously: "Brother, this is not the time to panic! Everyone is waiting for you Presiding over the overall situation! Although I have made some arrangements, after all, you are the emperor of the empire, and your orders are justified! There are still a few important things to do at this moment!"

Charlie was a little confused, and couldn't help but asked his sister who was two years younger than him: "What... what should I do?"

Karina sighed in her heart, frowned secretly, and took a deep look at her brother. She didn't know what it meant in that look, but she finally opened her mouth slowly...

(My condition is a bit recurrent, and I went to get an IV drip again today, so this chapter is updated a bit late, please forgive me.

In addition, ask for a monthly pass! Please support me!

I know it's almost the end, and everyone is anxious to see the update. I'm not in good health. Although I can't make more explosions, I will try my best to keep updating. )
