Lord Witch, please don't resurrect me again!

Still a good thing? "Then, the king is planning to appoint Leoric as the new commander of the Northern Expedition..."

"It's all a good thing." The bachelor laughed.

How is it a good thing?

The thin bachelor said: "Because this is a good time to catch everything—the king, the general, and most importantly, the princess, everyone. We have been waiting for so long, isn't it just waiting for this opportunity?"

Hearing this, the fat man shrank back to the edge of the pool. It was obvious that what the Duke said was a bit annoying.

The fat man said: "Do you really want to do this? To tell you the truth, my father sent me to find you just to persuade you to stay calm. This matter..."

The bachelor said: "I'm not going to hide it from you, I took a bath with you rough people today just to help you get rid of the fear in your heart - this is our last chance, Akkad must have come back to test the waters , if we do nothing now, Leoric and his Northern Expeditionary Army will return to the court immediately afterward, and then Teves's succession will become a foregone conclusion... Then, the living space of you and me will be It will melt as quickly as ice slag in hot water. Whether it is the gold in your port or the food in my fertile soil, everything will become Tevis's pocket, and then, this group of old-fashioned highlanders People will take these precious resources and continue to pursue their big dream of recovering their homeland!"

The fat man's expression became more fearful, and he said, "Aren't they satisfied with taking down Wild Wolf City? They still want to continue going north?"

"Young man, you don't understand that it is the mission of the royal family to regain their homeland, and it is a banner planted in their flesh and blood. If this banner is lowered, the royal family will not be a royal family. I have seen through all this, so I proposed In..." The bachelor sighed, "I am the one who really loves this country, oh, maybe, you too."

The fat man's fat face was wrinkled into a ball, but he was noncommittal.

"What do you want to do?"

"It's very simple. I have already paid a higher price to buy the people from the Royal Forest Army, and asked him to open Wangbei City and let our people in. Then, take down the king, princess and that old Akkad. In this way, the capital will be Ours."

The fat man shouted in horror: "If you said this before, it's fine, but now the Northern Expeditionary Army has a man named Leoric God of War, don't you know? He will definitely come back! Even the barbarian king is not his opponent Ah! Duke, I advise you to reconsider."

The tall and thin bachelor-duke laughed and said, "Young man, you don't know how to fight. I read the battle report. The Raven King was not defeated by Leoric, but by his own arrogance. He faces his opponent squarely, and ten Leoric are not enough for him to fight. You underestimate the power of the barbarians!"

Maybe you think too highly of barbarians.The fat man thought to himself, Nicholas had studied in a barbarian country for five years, so he admired the barbarian king's style very much, and he was also full of awe of the barbarian.Because of this, Nicholas strongly opposed the Northern Expedition, and has been trying to make the plateau people turn their heads and go south, annexing the southern jungles and archipelago to strengthen their own strength.

"As long as we take Wangbei City, even if the Northern Expedition forces come out, they will be powerless. You must know that Wangbei City is stronger than Wild Wolf City, and our soldiers are tens of thousands more than the Northern Expedition Army. I still have Haiti in my hand." Fine ballistas and trebuchets, what do they use? Even if Leoric is extremely brave, he can't break open my city wall with his bare hands, right? Could it be that he used his teeth?"

"What's more, the Seven Gods are also on our side!" Nicholas clenched his fists fiercely, with a frantic gleam in his eyes.

"Seven gods?"

"Yes, Seven Gods." Duke Nicholas stood up abruptly, revealing his shriveled and ugly naked body, and the obese son of the Duke quickly looked away in disgust.

Even I don't want to look at you, so why would the Seven Gods take care of a guy like you?He thought silently.

Chapter 92: The princess hanged herself, kept secret, and the salted fish was out of stock

"Wangbei City is ahead, General."

"Ah."

The wheels of the carriage turned slowly, and the muddy land became more and more difficult to navigate. The sounds of frogs, toads, cicadas, and crickets came from the woods on both sides of the road. It was still bright tomorrow, and these insects began to scream impatiently.Not far away, several pelicans were chirping in the water, and the humid air soaked through Akkad's clothes, making him sticky and wet.

This is the feeling of home, Arkad thought, uncomfortable but familiar, a reassuring depression.

The soldiers asked with some anticipation: "General, will anyone welcome us after we enter the city?"

The general laughed and said, "How could that be? Didn't I come back quietly?"

The soldiers looked at each other without speaking.The general knew that they were uncomfortable. After all, they were triumphant and proud soldiers. What they wanted were cheers, flowers, and blown kisses from girls. It was really aggrieved to enter the city quietly like this.

The general laughed when he thought of this, and said, "But when we meet the king, the old man will definitely give us a grand welcome party!"

The soldiers cheered, and one of them said: "Can I eat a roasted whole lamb? I heard that there is the best roasted whole lamb in the royal banquet, the kind that is dripping with oil, and the juice falls on the coals and crackles!" "

Others teased him and said, "Why do you like to eat sheep? Barbarians like that! Sheep are the children of the devil, and they smell fishy. I would rather eat shark meat than eat that. "

The soldier who wanted to eat sheep just now shouted: "Idiot! Don't you know? The nobles of the ancient plateau people all ate sheep! Or yaks! It's just that we don't have cattle and sheep here so we can't eat... If Li Aurik is going to the north, and I will move to the grassland to live, and then exchange all the family property for lambs and fine wine, herding sheep during the day and drinking at night."

At this time, a veteran said: "But the sheep we eat here is not from the north! Isn't it the goat from the Southwest Islands? And they cook the sheep with coconut milk and coconut meat, so they don't eat it roasted." The mutton used in the king's banquet is also goat from the island."

Everyone was arguing excitedly and anxiously. Some people said they wanted to eat sheep, some people said they wanted to eat deep-sea fish, and some people said they wanted to eat whale meat, as if the banquet was already in front of them.The general hummed to the community, and closed his eyes comfortably. The celebration banquet didn't matter to him. Compared with the king's banquet, he wanted to eat the table of the two dukes.

Nicholas and Jagober, the moths!Akad secretly clenched his fists, thinking: When I enter the city, the first thing I will do is to call people from these two families over to question the crime!

If the general was afraid of big nobles before, then he is fearless now.The reason is simple, his fist is hard enough, and everyone knows that his fist is hard.Even the barbarian king was defeated by the Northern Expeditionary Army, how could these rebellious officials and thieves dare to do anything wrong?These lords, big businessmen, and big landlords, you see, they are usually very bold in accumulating wealth, and they are more and more brutal when they trample on the law, but if there is a war, they will immediately become a group of cowards.

The poorer you are, the less you are afraid of death, the richer you are, the more you cherish your life. This is an eternal truth.

The general thought to himself at this time: As long as the two lords have normal IQs and sound brains, they should immediately hand over what they are holding and spit out what they eat!

Thinking in this way, the general and his party came to the gate of the city.

As soon as he got closer, he heard the loud and festive trumpet sound from above the city gate.

That was the trumpet sounding to celebrate the victory, and then the city gate opened, and a group of honor guards wearing straight military uniforms and holding silver sabers walked out quickly, and they divided into two teams and stood on both sides of the city gate.There was a person standing in the middle of the city gate. The general squinted his eyes and saw that it was a thin middle-aged man with a stern appearance. He was "Romandis Rano", the chief of the Royal Guards.He is the son of Marquis Lano, arrogant and arrogant.

"The Northern Expeditionary Army is brave and invincible, expanding its territory and promoting our country's prestige! On behalf of the entire Royal Guards, I congratulate the general on his triumphant return!"

General Akkad had never been able to get along with this "chief of the imperial guards" before, but he did not expect that he would be the first to come out to welcome him today, which surprised the general and was a little puzzled.How did this guy change his gender?Or is it an order from the master, and he must do it?

"General, please enter the city." The man saluted and said.

The casual soldiers cheered. They thought that no one would welcome this low-key entry into the city. Unexpectedly, the king prepared a guard of honor to welcome them. It seems that there will be flowers, cheers, applause, and girls blowing kisses. .However, General Akkad was thinking: How did the king know that I was coming back?Could it be that Leoric or the captains wrote to him in advance?Weird thing.

At this time, the general's carriage entered the city surrounded by the crowd. Sure enough, as soon as it entered the city, it was greeted with cheers like a mountain and a tsunami. He waves, glitches, cheers, throws petals, coins and hats.There are also many people watching from the windows or climbing to the top of the building.He saw strong men on the docks, young girls, old men, potbellied rich merchants, swarthy farmers, barefoot children, voluptuous whores, and people of all other races.

The road was already covered with flower petals, and under the petals was a huge gold-edged red carpet, which stretched from the city gate to the castle. In the middle of the carpet, there was a golden carriage waiting for him.

The soldiers who followed were all very happy. They waved to everyone while walking, and some people asked the general, "Should we take that golden carriage later? It's amazing. Only grand dukes can sit in it, right?"

The general nodded silently, but did not speak.He thought to himself: the welcome pomp is too great.

Only members of the royal family can use the gold-rimmed long blanket. Even if I want to use it, I shouldn’t have gold-rimmed rugs; only the duke, regent, and royal relatives can ride in the golden carriage.It is not ruled out that the king was happy, so he offered an exceptional treatment.But the old king has always attached great importance to the rules, so why would he take the initiative to break the rules?

Thinking this way, the general has already arrived in front of the golden carriage.Four maids in white dresses opened the doors on both sides and respectfully invited him to get in the car.The general smiled and said, "I have trouble with my legs and feet, so I won't change the car." He made a gesture and asked his followers to push him away quickly.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the "Chief of the Imperial Guard" stood in front of the general's broken carriage, and said with a smile on his face: "You are a great hero! How could you enter the palace with such a broken carriage? Wouldn't it be a loss? Lost the face of the royal family? Come on, please change the car."

Something is wrong!General Akkad frowned and said, "I have trouble with my legs and feet, don't you understand?" He patted his injured leg as he spoke.

Unexpectedly, the chief guard's face turned cold, and he said in a deep voice, "I can carry you in."

As he spoke, several imperial guards came up quietly.

The visitor is not good?The general said: "Okay, don't bother you, guard, give me a hand, let's change cars!"

"Yes!"

The general got into the car, and then the guard with the strongest martial arts accompanied him up.The guard was nicknamed "The Monitor Lizard", but his real name was unknown. He was an old soldier who was blind in one eye.I have served as the general's guard for 20 years. In the previous battle of Wild Wolf City, it was because of his protection that the general survived the chaos.

At this time, the giant lizard asked Akkad, "General, why do you feel something is wrong?"

The general nodded and said, "Well, I also feel that there is a layer of haze floating in the imperial city."

The monitor lizard put his hand on the hilt of his sword and asked, "What are we going to do? Are we going?"

"Let's take one step at a time." The general changed into a more comfortable posture, and said, "Don't worry, they dare not do anything to us. This group of cowardly rats, they will only try to win me over."

"Yes, General." The monitor lizard was silent.This man has been quiet, but he is ruthless.

In this way, they came to the palace.As soon as they entered the palace, the guards immediately closed the gate, and then several imperial guards rushed up and shouted: "Forbidden area of ​​the palace, unload your weapons!"

Akkad sneered, "I see kings wearing swords, what are you guys, dare to disarm me?"

So more imperial guards rushed up to surround them and forcibly handed over their weapons.

At this time, the cheers outside the palace had not stopped, and even the waves were higher than the waves. The people were afraid that the walls of the palace were too thick, so that the heroes could not hear their voices.

At this time, a young soldier came out from the depths of the hall.The man was nicknamed "The Eldest Son of Harlan", and his real name was Nags. Harlan was the God of War among the seven gods, and the eldest son of Harlan meant the human incarnation of the God of War.

"Eldest Son of Harlan" was handsome, young and thin, with deep eyes like a well-read philosopher.

When he came to Akkad, he saluted first, and then said, "Congratulations on your triumphant return, General."

"Where is the king?" Arkad asked.

"The eldest son of Harun" said with a smile, "The king is resting."

"Let me go see him."

"The king can't see people."

"Is it because the king doesn't want to see you, or you don't want him to see him?" Akkad looked around the hall of the palace and said, "Where are the maids? What about the personal guards? What about the princess knights? Why are you the guards left, oh, And you, Harun's eldest son! Why did you come to the palace? Shouldn't you be guarding the green mud flat in the south?"

"Harlan's eldest son" laughed. He looked at Akkad's face and said, "General Akkad, as smart as you, must know what happened here, don't I need to say more? You are a sensible man." Man, I hope you will support our great cause, as long as you support us, we will give you everything, you see, you are sitting in a golden carriage, walking on the red carpet in Phnom Penh, you know what it symbolizes. You are for this thousand The king of Baikong has worked hard all his life, but he didn't give you a piece of land, don't you think it's unfair..."

Akkad roared: "Don't fucking talk nonsense with me, let me ask one last question, where is the king!"

At this time, the chief of the guards next to him rushed up and shouted: "You fucking kneel down, old man in a wheelchair!"

He kicked Akkad's injured leg hard, then knocked him over from the wheelchair, and said, "You still don't understand the situation, Akkad!"

Akkad's four followers wanted to rush up to save them, but they were subdued by the imperial guards immediately. Akkad shouted, "Don't do anything! It's okay."

"It's all right? Yes, others are all right! It's just that you're going to be in trouble!" The head of the imperial guard was so strong that he lifted the old man from the ground with one hand, and then slammed it hard, "Bang!" Akkad's injured The leg hit the floor hard, and the old man gritted his teeth in pain, otherwise he would have cried out.

Anyway, this leg is useless anyway, at least he didn't break my good leg, Arkad thought.

Harun's eldest son shook his head and said, "Why are you bothering?"

Akkad sneered and said, "You rats... who instructed you to do this, was it Nicholas?"

"You're so clever," said Harlan's eldest son.

At this moment, there was a burst of laughter in front of him. Arkad raised his head and saw a tall and thin man walking towards him.This man was wearing a bachelor's uniform, but he wore a duke's crown on his head. It was Duke Nicholas.

The Duke bowed and said, "General Akkad, you are safe."

Seeing that face, the old man snorted disdainfully and said, "Nicholas, I am still the nominal commander of the Northern Expedition. These people are also the heroes who killed the barbarian king. Are you treating us like this?"

The Bachelor Duke quickly said: "No, of course not—you rough people, why do you treat the general like this? You are really rude. Come, let me help you up."

Duke Nicholas showed an amiable smile. He walked up, helped General Akkad from the place, and let him sit back on the wheelchair.

"You can kill the great hero of the barbarians, and I will definitely treat you with courtesy." Duke Nicholas smiled politely, as if nothing had happened just now.

General Akkad glared at him and said, "Oh, I thought you had become the barbarian's dog.

"Whether our king goes north or south, the barbarians are our eternal enemies. I just... don't want to be a dog for this royal family." He put on a smile, "General Akkad, the people love you , it would be great if you could stand by our side."

The general smiled and said: "Oh, that's fine, then you treat us with delicious food and drink, and serve me for three to five years, maybe one day I will change my mind! Of course, I may die in a few years, after all I'm getting old!"

"Delicious and delicious, of course you can, but you can't be here. I have already prepared a place for you to cultivate, please come with me."

……

Nicholas sent someone to send Arkad to his well-prepared "sanatorium".

Duke Nicholas, Chief of the Guard Rano, and "Harlan's eldest son" Nags walked in the corridor of the palace.

"Why didn't you kill that old thing?" asked the chief guard.

"You idiot who only knows how to wield knives and guns." Nicholas gave him a contemptuous look, without explaining to him.Anyone with a little brain should also know the value of Akkad.This guy is as stupid as hell, and then again, if he wasn't so stupid as hell, he wouldn't be bribed by me for a few bucks.

The guard's face darkened and he stopped talking.The "eldest son of Harun" talked about another matter, saying: "The king, general, and princess are all in our hands. Next, we can support the princess as king, and then let her make you a prime minister or Regent, the country is effectively transferred to us."

"Yes, the remaining hidden danger is Leoric, and we will have a battle with him." The Duke knew this matter very well, "We must make adequate preparations, not only for logistics, but also for A flag."

"Eldest Son of Harun" asked, "What flag are we flying?"

Duke Nicholas said: "Just fly the banner of guarding the imperial city. General Akkad is still the nominal commander of the Northern Expedition. With his support, we can turn Leoric into a 'rebel with self-respect'. Then, we supported the puppet princess, let her issue a mobilization order, and used her mouth to say that Leoric had stolen the fruits of victory, that he had betrayed everyone and wanted to become king on his own. In this way, we have Righteousness is in hand, we are righteous, and Leoric is evil. We can mobilize more nobles to help us fight. You see, although Leoric can fight, he only has 2 people, and the 2 Ten thousand people must leave at least five thousand to guard Wild Wolf City. In other words, Leoric will bring back at most fifteen thousand people..."

Nicholas couldn't help sneering when he said this, and said: "With more than 1 people, can he make any waves? Besides, the most powerful thing about Leoric is his aura of a hero. It will be greatly discounted."

"Smart!" Harun's eldest son gave a thumbs up, "As expected of the knowledgeable Nicholas, he is really smart!"

"I'm sorry, but I still can't compare to Your Excellency's wisdom and courage."

"Where where..."

The two sang together and flattered each other, the head of the guard is a rough man, and he can't play this trick.But he felt that the matter was not that simple, Akkad had better kill him, that guy was old and cunning, and he would keep it in case something happened sooner or later.

At this moment, a guard hurried over and shouted as he ran, "Duke, General, it's not good, something happened!"

The Duke's face darkened, and he said, "What's the matter?"

"Princess, princess, she..."

"What's up with her?"

"Suicide by hanging!"

"What!?" Nicholas was furious, "I won't let you keep an eye on her! A bunch of trash!"

Everyone came to the princess' room angrily, only to see a dead body lying on the ground with bruises and tears on its neck, and several maids were crying beside it.

Nicholas stomped his feet angrily, thinking that the plan was all messed up!The princess is dead in my hands, how can I raise the banner?At that time, Leoric will have a legitimate name for killing me, and shouting "for Teves" will immediately respond to everyone.

Harun's eldest son said viciously, "Damn it, this bitch is quite hot-tempered! Then... what shall we do? Shall we be secret?"
