Lord Witch, please don't resurrect me again!

However, the king didn't understand Leoric's thoughts, or he understood, but he didn't agree.

So, in front of Shia and Leoric, the old king said in the tone of an elder persuading the younger generation: "Although Shia Leigui is noble, she is only the daughter of the Duke, and she is one step behind in blood. Level. Leoric, Teves has made you the Duke of Wild Wolf City. Although the ceremony has not yet been held, you are legally the owner of Wild Wolf City and the surrounding land. In other words, you and Lei Kui The status of the Duke is at the same level. It is not impossible for you to marry his daughter, but according to the rules, you cannot be a legal wife..."

Tevis couldn't listen anymore, "Father, it's okay, stop talking..."

"Son, don't interrupt." The old man gave her a hard look.

The king continued: "You can't marry the duke's daughter as the first wife, and then marry into the royal family. Knowing the stakes here, I advise you not to go your own way, so as not to suffer in the future."

The old king has become a habit of picking others up, thinking that Leoric is also his slave, and even if he is not a slave, he should at least give him face.

Normally, Leoric would have tolerated it for the sake of "keeping the overall situation in mind", but now he has blown several bottles of beer in a row, his sanity has declined and his mood has risen.I thought: Royal blood?king?How many masters do you have? Are you going to fuck with me?

At this time, he had a flash of inspiration and asked, "Your Majesty, can you understand the northern royal language?"

The king smiled and said: "Of course, this is the language used by ancient kings. How can I not understand it? But why do you ask this?"

Leoric cleared his throat, then smiled politely and said:

"Fuck you old man! Can you understand me?"

"What did you say?" The king's eyes widened, obviously confused.

Leoric then said in a refined and easy-going tone: "Since you can understand, please listen to me. Don't pretend to be arrogant with me, you are not good at speaking! Don't forget who saved you Life? Instead of thanking me now, instead of trying to take advantage of me? Then don't blame me for scolding you."

The king had never been pointed and scolded in such a polite tone in his life. He first doubted his ears, then doubted his understanding of the language, and finally wondered whether Leoric had mispronounced a word?In short, he didn't believe this matter, and he couldn't accept it at all!

Other than the king, only Bloser knew a thing or two about this language, and barely understood that Leoric was talking badly.Bloser was shocked at first, and then covered up his guilty conscience by eating a lot of food; Teves had learned the ancient plateau language for reading, but she didn't understand this kind of useless language that was just "used by the ancient royal family to flaunt their status" royal language.

"Don't just stare at that, it's you! Young master, I can marry whoever I like, you don't care! You are not my father, and you still want to teach me how to be a man? You figure out your position, are you begging me now?" I’m not begging you to do things! Show some sincerity, okay? Do you know how Party B serves Party A? Do you want to work as a social animal in some creative design company for a few days to learn?

You old feudal brains are full of control, swearing allegiance, and the spicy pua next door, don’t you understand what cooperation and win-win are?Can't we talk and do things well, and fight together for this half-dead country?When is it you? You still behave well, and you still follow the ancestral law!I look at your resplendent imperial palace and I can't help feeling angry. I'm tight on the front line, but you're tight on the rear?As far as this palace is concerned, even the walls can be worth a soldier’s salary. You talk about restoring your homeland, why don’t you want to take off the walls of the palace and exchange them for money for war?Your mother is crazy. "

Leoric originally wanted to scold a few words, but he didn't expect that the more he said, the more he got angry, the most extreme mouth smell, the purest enjoyment, he continued to spout: "Fuck your mother, you are almost dead , the first thing I do when I come back is to engage in bureaucracy, and I am a great hero. If I want to betray you, I would have betrayed you. Can you stop it? I can detain Teves in Wild Wolf City and make myself king, and then I sent my troops to the south and took you all away! Do you have a way? But I didn’t do it because I’m a fucking good person! I’m moral, do you understand? You still want to use the princess’s marriage to control me, you think I married Teves or I became a son-in-law, so I dare not rebel? I think rebellion can still be made? Is it useful for you to fix this? Ah, is it useful for me to ask you?"

The old king was scolded for being stupid, and subconsciously replied: "Uh, no, it's useless."

"It's useless, so why not? You old man, hurry up and abdicate. You haven't done anything for decades. Instead, the nobles have become bigger one by one, and the treasury is so empty. There are no soldiers. , no money, no generals, if Duke Lei Kui did not support you, you would have died long ago, do you know that Jiba is dead? You have been thinking about intrigue with the nobles all day long, and checks and balances are effective? So many rules, put on so many airs, does it work? You are not as good as your daughter in this regard, Teves also knows how to go down to the grassroots, and also knows how to talk to me sincerely. You have lived like a dog for a long time ?”

"I scolded you in ancient language to save face, next time I will scold you in Mandarin, fuck you!"

Leoric finished his speech very politely, then raised his wine glass, changed into Mandarin, and said, "Come, join me in wishing His Majesty the King a long life and good health forever!"

Everyone didn't know why, so they raised their cups and said, "I wish your majesty good health forever!"

The king looked at everyone with an expression of "I will die soon", nodded, and said, "Thank you!" He took a sip of his wine.

This wine is so bitter!

……

Not long after, the old king withdrew from the banquet on the grounds of "too much to drink", and the rest of the soldiers continued to party and drink.When the king left, he called Tevis and said that he had something to discuss with her.When Teves came to the king's bedroom, she saw his father's face was flushed, and his expression was painful as if he was constipated.Teves said distressedly: "Oh, father, I told you to drink less wine and eat less meat. Your stomach is no longer what it was when you were young..."

"It's not that reason." The old king said with a straight face, "Daughter, come, I have something to ask you."

"Father, please speak."

The king said: "I don't care about why you went to Wild Wolf City... I just want to ask you one thing, do you know Leoric's identity and background?"

Teves nodded and said, "I investigated this matter specially this time. Leoric is just an ordinary young man, but he is gifted." Just like me.

The king sneered and said, "Child, have you forgotten what I told you before? The blood of the demon wizard Andrew."

"He's not." Teves said decisively, "I also suspected that he might be that person at first, but I investigated and he really isn't."

The king narrowed his eyes and said, "What is the evidence?"

Teves said: "Sia Rekui told me that many years ago, they discovered Andrew's descendants and sent troops to destroy them. Father, the demon's descendants are already dead."

Hearing this, the king's face contorted, and then he coughed violently.Tevis quickly poured water for him, but the king overturned the water bottle to the ground and roared in a hoarse voice:

"She's lying to you!"

"Cheat me?" How could Shia lie to me?

The old king's face was flushed, he was panting violently because of his anger, and his chest made a whirring sound like a broken bellows.Then he coughed up a few mouthfuls of thick bloody sputum, and said viciously: "I knew these guys were like dogs, even people from the Lei Kui family cannot be trusted! No wonder the people of the Lei Kui family have been so obedient over the years. It was they who had found the blood of the royal family long ago and wanted to support a new king! No wonder they supported my Northern Expedition, and they also wanted to gild this man named Leo Ryan..."

Teves frowned and said, "Father, what are you talking about?"

The old king calmed down and said, "Daughter, let me tell you that the Leikui family did kill the descendants of the demon wizard, but they let the man's child go, and the child's whereabouts have been unknown since then."

"What?" Tevez's eyes widened.

The king gritted his teeth, his shriveled face hanging on his emaciated bones, like an old hyena, and he said: "Sia Requi, that little bitch, she probably sensed your suspicion, and then she used this phrase Come to lie to you. But she doesn't know that the royal family has files, and I also have memories."

Teves shook her head and said, "No, no, father, there is a misunderstanding here."

"There is no misunderstanding, my silly boy! No one wants to be a king, and people all over the world are coveting my throne!" Only madness and madness remained in the old man's withered eyes. Is angry, but also distressed.Aging and illness took away his energy, as well as his kindness and wisdom, turning him into a walking dead who only knows how to lick power.The old father... Even two years ago, he was more generous than he is now.

Teves persuaded him: "That's not the case, Father, you can't presume that Leoric is the son of the devil, and even if I take a step back and say that he is really a descendant of Andrew, then he didn't do it." Anything evil!"

"Hasn't he!?" The old king who had just been violently output by Leoric roared.

"Uh, I haven't found him to be betrayed for the time being. You see, if it weren't for him, the Northern Expeditionary Army would not be able to defeat the barbarians, nor would they be able to expand our territory. When he took down Wild Wolf City and defeated the Crow King, you wouldn't Are you happy too?"

The king snorted coldly and said, "I suspected it at that time, but you didn't see it."

"Then his behavior this time, can't he prove his loyalty? He saved your life, father!"

"All this is just to make him the new king! He never saw me as the king from the very beginning!"

Tevis was furious at the stubborn old man, and said: "Father, you will never believe anyone in your life. You never show your heart to people, so how can you let others serve you wholeheartedly?" ?”

Hearing this, the king's face was gloomy like a murderer about to commit murder, and he said in an emotionless voice: "Because the throne of our family is built on betrayal, we betrayed the old king and the gods. , Betrayed everything to get this throne. As a descendant of a traitor, I know that loyalty is like air, and oath is like dung!"

The voice of the royal father was like a cold snake crawling across Teves's back, but Teves felt a hot current rushing into her mind, and she said loudly: "I have read history! I know that our family did not rely on betrayal. The superior! It is the descendants of the old king who want to betray the plateau people, so we killed them for righteousness!"

"The truth of 200 years, who knows? All I know is that our ancestors broke their vows and stabbed the old king in the back. No matter what the purpose is, betrayal is betrayal. As long as the desire is strong enough, then all vows will be fulfilled." They will all disappear like the wind."

The old king obviously didn't trust anyone anymore. The betrayal of the two big families probably took away his last bit of confidence.

The old king said, "Devis, I order you..."

"No, Father!" Teves knew what he was going to say.

"After I die, you will immediately announce your ascension to the throne, and make Duke Lei Kui the protector of the country, and then recall General Akkad and let him continue to be the commander of the coalition forces. Only in this way, can you hope to suppress Leoric. Wait later When your wings are full, look for another chance to get rid of him."

Teves replied: "Father, this is impossible. Leoric is the hero who created all this. He brought all the victories so far, but you want me to count him?"

The king said in a deep voice: "If you don't do this, he will take away our family's throne sooner or later."

Teves shook her head again: "Leoric has never failed our expectations—he has lived up to me, and I have lived up to him."

Before this, Teves had never resisted the king's will—even though she was a rebellious woman, she respected and loved her father, because the father also loved her sincerely.

Teves' resistance made the old king furious. He couldn't believe that he, who used to be able to control the whole world, couldn't even control his own daughter.

He roared: "You don't know how much effort I have put in to keep my royal status! Our family will sit on the throne forever! For this, I can die, I can die a hundred times! The crown is the most important thing in this world. It represents power, wealth, status... and everything you can imagine. Our ancestors did everything to get it, and this thing has been passed down to our father and daughter, and it cannot be cut off like this!"

Teves thought so before, but now she has a weird thought: Is the throne really important?

What was it that I had been looking for all this time?

ps: Sorry, there is a small setting about the language that has been read, and it has been changed!There is still a missing word, which has been changed.

sorry Sorry.

Thank you readers for the corrections.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"My life will soon come to an end, when the time comes, you must announce your succession immediately, and then do as I say." He said in a commanding tone.

"No!" said Teves, "I will never do that, Father!"

"Slap!" The old king slapped Tevis loudly and cursed, "You bastard! If you are still my daughter, you should swear to me! Obey my will!"

Teves said: "You said it yourself, oaths are like dung, what's the use of me swearing?"

The old man was so angry that his chest heaved violently, and he said: "I gave you life, glory and wealth, and the throne! Are you going to betray me? You want to piss me off, a dying person, to death!" Kneel down!" He finished the word weakly, and then started coughing again.

Tevis still wanted to contradict him, but suddenly many childhood memories flashed in her mind. She still remembered that her father took her to hunt, taught her to write, and took her to the garden on horseback. Whenever she wanted, he would buy it for her. All the most expensive and luxurious things... For some reason, those images flashed back in her mind like a revolving lantern, and they couldn't get rid of them.

Then, her tears flowed out without warning.

Teves didn't know what was going on, she just felt an instinctive sadness.Then she knelt down.

"I swear," she said.

"I will definitely be king."

"I will follow your wishes."

"That's right, kid, that's right." The old man finally laughed.

He reached out and stroked Tevis's head, and said, "Inherit everything from me, child, and you will be the new king!"

……

Afterwards, Tevez returned to her room.

She was physically and mentally exhausted, and as soon as she returned, she drove away the left and right attendants, and then locked herself in the house.

The scene just now reappeared in her mind repeatedly, king, become king?Am I going to take my father's crown and be like him again?

The more Tevis thought about it, the angrier she became. She tore off the crown of the princess from her head and threw it to the ground. "Crack!" The platinum crown kissed the floor crisply, pearls and diamonds splashed, and the brilliance they gave off when they were broken was even more beautiful than wearing it on the head.

Teves had never hated her crown so much.

Never had.

……

The next day, the old king died.

Although the imperial physician identified that he died of illness, the palace had different opinions on the cause of the king's death.Some people say that the first person who found the old king's body was the eunuch in the palace. He saw the old king's face turned black, and there was a broken glass bottle in his hand, which looked like suicide by taking poison; others said, The old king must have been murdered, perhaps by the remnants of traitors in the palace.

Leoric's thoughts on this are: Damn it, this old man won't let me scold him to death, right?

The king's funeral is a big event. Logically speaking, it requires national silence, grand ceremony and so on.But Teves said: follow the will of the former king, and keep everything simple during the war.

Prepare in the morning, plan in the afternoon, and get things done in one day.

After the funeral, Teves announced that she would continue to rule as a "princess", surprisingly, without mentioning anything like becoming a queen.When others asked about this matter, Teves would change the subject, at most she would say: "It would be inappropriate to announce my enthronement now during my mourning period."

Leoric has nothing to do with royal affairs, and he doesn't care about the life or death of that bad old man.

He is more concerned about the spoils this time!

First of all, it is the materials stored in the palace.Teves had told him when the palace had just been conquered that the "Eldest Son of Harlan" and the Guards had stored a lot of strategic materials in the city warehouses and the palace, and there were countless food and supplies.According to the captured officers, the "Eldest Son of Harlan" originally wanted to fight a war of attrition with Leoric.Because he felt that Leoric had not occupied Wild Wolf City for a long time, and judging from the time, there was no autumn harvest and grain collection. Even if he plundered the local area, he would not be able to get much grain.There are [-] people, and people eat horse chews, which is a huge consumption.As long as Wang Beicheng can hold back, then Leoric's army will be destroyed without attack.

From this point of view, the "eldest son of Harlan" still has some basic judgment.Because the food in Leoric's hands is really not much, if we only count the materials stored in Wild Wolf City, then he might not be able to last for half a month.

However, Leoric still has a big gift package from the Crow King in his hand!If this amount is counted, it is enough for him to fight a tough battle for fifty days.

The most important thing is that Leoric dried and smashed the city wall in two hours, so there are no subsequent stories.

Now Leoric's soldiers haven't even used up the supplies of Wild Wolf City, and the remaining part is enough for them to eat to the next city.It is estimated that after fighting Haiyan City, the Crow King Gift Pack will start to be consumed.Optimistically, after killing through the entire Great Swamp, less than half of the "Crow King Gift Pack" would be consumed.

Then counting the supplies in the palace, it is equivalent to the fact that after the battle this time, the luggage is not less at all, and it is much more.

He planned to transport the supplies in the palace to Wild Wolf City another day.Originally, there were a lot of things stored in the palace, because the royal family of the plateau people chose the strategy of "the emperor guards the gate of the country", Wangbei City is the front line, and the political and military functions are concentrated.

Now that there is Wild Wolf City, the capital can focus on its political functions, and leave the burden of "guarding the country" to Wild Wolf City.In the future, Leoric plans to appoint Blozer of the Bloodspear Regiment as the "prefect" of Wolf City - called the lord here.Blozer is good at defense, and it would be best to let him manage Wild Wolf City.

All the supplies were collected according to the order, and all the vehicles were taken to Wild Wolf City. After the mess of the people on the plateau was settled, Leoric would use this thick family background to wrestle with the other barbarian kings.

The second harvest is a new truth.

Thanks to "Harlan's eldest son"'s suffocation operation, Leoric not only won the palace, but also got new skills by the way.

Leoric had previously completed the contract with Puscilla, and the two established a spiritual power sharing mechanism similar to the soul link. As a pendant, Puscilla added Leo Ryan's blue bar.Therefore, he can safely choose a truth this time.

Ever since he experienced the beauty of truth for the first time, he has defined the pursuit of truth as his life goal.Not only because the moment of feeling the truth is so cool, but also because the more he understands, the stronger he becomes.As for other things - love, wealth, honor, power... As long as I am strong enough, they will naturally come to me.

Getting stronger is a man's number one priority!

This time, Leoric had already thought about what to take before entering the Land of Truth. Usually, what he took was to strengthen his own combat power, as if turning himself into a "hero unit" on the battlefield.

It is certainly a good thing for the coach to be able to fight, but the larger the scale of the war, the more the personal combat power will be diluted.In a large-scale battle of tens of thousands or even 10,000+ people, personal bravery is not so important.In contrast, aspects such as wisdom, logistics, and military training are even more important.

The truth chosen by Leoric this time is a book called "The Way of the Knight".This book does not take much mental energy, and the content is very practical.It includes cavalry training, cavalry formation, equipment selection, combat terrain analysis, troop psychological construction and other aspects. The courage of the cavalry head-on.

After this battle is over, I need to train my cavalry regiment well. In the future, fighting on the Great Plains will require their performance.Although Leoric has also thought about whether to create some more cross-generational weapons - such as Gatling or something.But the books in the library on the first floor of the Land of Truth are relatively backward. The librarian said that the truth in the library of truth does not appear out of thin air, but a summary of the knowledge realized by the heroes of your era.So the books on the first level are basically the knowledge of this era, no matter how advanced it is, it will not surpass the technological level of this "fantasy feudal era" productivity.So like airplanes, cannons and atomic bombs, you'd better take a break!And with this fantasy technology tree, people may not be able to point it out yet.
