The road to national restoration that began at the end of the century

Zelen: "Confidence...I don't know how to say it...but don't you have any brothers and sisters? You have to wait for me to wake up...But, look at the two hundred or so people like you, and the entire underground safe room is in tatters. It seemed that Senagu was really cornered by that Youlizi.

Nathalie: "Please don't say that about him. Without Deputy Chief Sanya, we people would not be alive today. Besides, except for dad, he would be better to us... What's more, mom only has two of us." My daughter has no other brothers or sisters.”

Listening to what his sister Nathalie said, Zelen understood that their father probably regarded the twin sisters as a burden, and then asked Senagul to leave them to him. But there is also a possibility that they should be trained as monitors, specifically responsible for keeping track of themselves.

After all, in the Krolod Empire, where polygamy is legal, children who don't bear the father's surname are basically born from side wives. Even when the policies of the Pa-O Republic came to power, the children born from these side wives were completely inferior to the descendants of the main wife in terms of status.

Zelen himself didn't know how to evaluate this. The Krolod Empire has legally recognized polygamy for almost a thousand years. On this basis, the issue of inequality in status between the main wife and the side wives has always been unavoidable.

If he really wanted to trace it back, Zelen would probably have to greet his royal ancestors one by one.

However, compared to this Zelen who looked at the lever rifle in his hand, he really missed it.

In the past, when he was still the grandson of the emperor, he followed his father and brother to the shooting range to shoot guns. The most impressive one was the lever rifle. This is because the action of loading the bullet, firing a shot, then depressing the trigger guard and then retracting it to load the next bullet is quite classic.

In particular, although the rifle in front of you is a traditional model that only allows five-round magazines to be loaded, its simple operation and its exposed hammer rotation firing system are very convenient for shooters to observe whether it is ready to fire, and its production and maintenance are convenient. Such firearms have not disappeared from the history of the Crurod Empire even after using caseless bullets.

Moreover, what Zelen didn't know how to comment on was that perhaps due to the current shortage of resources, the folding four-sided thorn cone under the gun body reminded him every moment that the Krurod Empire, which was prosperous in the past, was no longer there.

Normally, a rifle should have a detachable bayonet. At the same time, this also told him that what was left from the past empire was just devastation, corpses strewn across the land, and a dilapidated and existential usurper, the Pa-O Republic.

But……

Oh no!

Listening to the mechanical sound when he pressed down the trigger guard, Zelen couldn't help but feel happy. After all, he is a man, and he likes guns, cars, and balls. Moreover, firearms are at the top of the list, and they are something that he and even many male subjects of the Crurod Empire like very much.

Zelen: "Can you two shoot?"

Natalie, Nathalie: "Yes."

Zelen: "Very good. But I still want to ask, are you just going to follow me like this? Will you marry me together in the future?"

Natalie: "I can."

Nathalie: "I do."

Zelen: "What if I want to rebuild the Krurod Empire instead of the Paou Republic?"

Natalie: "First of all, I don't really understand the difference between the two countries. I always feel that men are the officials in these two countries, and I don't know much about the law..."

Nathalie: "Anyway, the most I know is that our current country is gone, and we people don't know how to survive. And I heard from my father that we may have to seek refuge with shamans, and the next days will be even more uncomfortable. ”

Obviously, these twin sisters probably did not receive a good education, and they did not have a deep concept of the country. At the same time, Zelen looked at them himself. The reason why they were like this was probably due to the war, especially the pig-headed man named Ariko who was not afraid of bullets and bullets at all. He could tear apart the troops in front of him without blinking an eye, destroying buildings one after another. It's the consequence of the vehicle.

In short, Zelen lowered his head. He sincerely hoped that he could rebuild the prosperous Crurod Empire and stop letting the people of the empire drift in the wind like rootless duckweeds. So in order to better think about future plans, Zelen did not let the twin sisters sleep in the same bed with him.

After all, the origins of these sisters are still not detailed enough, and it is possible that they are not telling the truth.

So he let the sisters sleep first, then came out of the room and talked to one of his doormen and another middle-aged soldier of the institute who he had rescued before.

Jugent: "My name is Setrik Jugent. I used to be the battalion commander of the Guards guarding the palace."

Zelen: "So you also participated in the purge of the royal family?"

Jurgante: "Yes. The royal family... I am actually a branch descendant of the royal family, but the royal family does not recognize my father's illegitimate status. Therefore, after he died of depression at an early age, I finally became a palace guard. But your grandfather knew that my father was his brother, but he never mentioned him, so I joined Deputy Chief Sanya and his friends."

Zelen: "To you, the royal family is a group of heinous criminals who must all be killed?"

Jugent: "For me, yes. From the point of view of your royal family, it is natural for women to obey men. If necessary, you can make up any excuses, secretly kidnap female subjects outside, and select suitable human subjects for experimentation Or do other things. My grandmother was one of your great-grandfather’s favorites, and my father was born for this reason.”

Zelen: "This is one of the reasons why my father and the others wanted to assassinate my grandfather."

Jugent: "That's why I agreed to retrieve you from the snowy mountains of Jaya Peak."

Zelen: "If I wanted to rebuild the Empire, would you agree?"

Jurgante: "Right now... I don't support or oppose it. I just hope that I won't continue to live the same life during my lifetime."

Zelen: "Understood."

Jurgante: "Let me tell you in advance, not everyone in Rimai is as easy to talk to as me, but some of them have a certain interest in the empire you want to build. After all, the royal family did a lot of bad things in the past."

Zelen: "Yes."

Looking back on his family's history, Zelen felt unspeakably embarrassed. In his great-grandfather's time, his great-grandfather and grandfather, in order to please the military forces, came up with the terrible idea of ​​secretly kidnapping female subjects to do various jobs, which led to domestic unrest in the past.

So just like what Jugent said, he was obviously a branch descendant of the royal family, but in the end he also fought to destroy the old empire and establish the Paou Republic.

Jurgante: "But you could bear it, why didn't you sleep with them?"

Zelen: "If I were the emperor, would I still worry about this matter? However, along the way, the tragic scenes of broken walls and bones reminded me. Rather than simply avenging the royal family, killing You bunch of rebellious officials, I hope even more to use my own strength to make you listen to me and rebuild the Crurod Empire."

Jugent: "Why? And you think we will obey your orders one hundred percent?"

Zelen: "Is it impossible? After all, I am the grandson of the empire, and I have the obligation to climb out of the trenches for every citizen of the empire and be the first to lead the charge against the enemy."

Jugent: "Aren't you afraid that you will die as soon as you step out of the trenches one day?"

Zelen: "It's not like members of our royal family didn't die in the trenches."

Just as Zelen said, male members of the Krorod Empire royal family must begin receiving military training as soon as they reach the age of 12, and they must join the regular army at the age of 15 and serve under a pseudonym for at least five years.

Therefore, at least 30 royal members of the Krorod Empire were killed in battle from the beginning of the founding of the country to the time when Zelen was born.

Although the proportion is not high, a death in battle is a death in battle.

Jurgante: "So I watched you chop off the lining pig's head with a knife, and I couldn't help but wonder, should I call my daughter over?"

Zelen: "Stop! I have never touched their sisters. And when are you going to visit the shaman and the Green Snake Party behind them? You let me live instead of giving me a shot. I guess it's you who follow me." What deal did they make that forced you to agree?"

Jugent: "That's right. Tomorrow anyway. We will leave Suguicheng in a group and go to the west to meet them. After all, Minister Tangeru has been working hard. Especially since the total number of us is less than 400, they are more powerful than others." There are more than 70,000 people in the Snake Party...it’s impossible not to join them.”
