The most shameless alchemist in history - Chapter 876
Chapter 876
In history, Numa was not a powerful country. For a long time, Numa was bullied by nearby countries.
However, since King Charles came to the throne, he has used his tough tactics to improve the strength of the Numa country little by little.
Although sometimes his methods are too tough, for some people, it is very unsuitable and very unfair.
For example, in some special periods, a family made trivial mistakes, but in order for Charlie to implement the decree he issued smoothly, he did not hesitate to wipe out the entire family that had always supported him in the early stage, which made him Bear a lot of infamy.
But Charlie doesn’t care about these infamy. All he cares about is that Numa no Nation can grow stronger step by step. What he cares about is that the hard work he has celebrated for this country can yield results, and in fact he does. When it arrives, the national power of the Numa Country has been significantly enhanced.
This took almost all his efforts, even if he was only fifty years old, at a very young age, but his body was overdrawn long ago, coupled with maladies, he was very weak as early as a year ago, rarely in Appeared in public.
There is a lot of discussion about the king’s situation in the city of Zee, and there is a lot of talk about it. Some say that the king is ill and feels down. Others say that the king is just observing and manipulating all of this in secret. Others say that the old king is actually the old king. already dead.
Outsiders don’t know the situation of the old king, but William and Henry, who are his sons, are very clear.
Especially William, he is in control of his father’s situation at any time, and he sends people to give condolences every day.
Recently, due to the defeat of the river bay city naval battle, this caused William to be overwhelmed. In order to deal with these things, he was exhausted every day.
This made him neglect to interrogate his father for a while, so when he heard the news today, he was shocked.
“What are you talking about? Father… he died?” William knew his father’s situation.
Due to poor health, Charlie was recuperating in the palace early, and he rarely involved in government affairs. He bought the doctor. According to the doctor, the old king should be able to hold on for a year or two, but he did not expect the bad news. Come so fast!
“Yes, it happened at midnight last night.” William’s confidant Jones said affirmatively.
“It’s midnight? It’s noon. Why are you reporting the news to me now?” William was shocked. It has been nearly ten hours now. This is enough to change a lot of things in just one second, let alone the past. So long time!
“Because His Royal Highness Henry blocked the news, all the people in the bedroom let him buy it. We also learned about the news through the internal response of His Royal Highness Henry.” Jones explained.
“What? Let him buy it all? Didn’t I also spend a lot of money? As a result, those bastards took my money, but they were helping Henry?” William was shocked, and he angrily condemned.
“His Royal Highness, now is not the time to care about those things. His Royal Highness Henry got the news as early as midnight and was prepared. We got the news later, but fortunately, we have been operating in the capital for many years. In terms of strength, we still It’s better than His Royal Highness Henry, so we must hurry up and take action now, and we can’t fall behind!” Jones gave William advice in the first place, which is also his duty.
“You’re right, we must act, and immediately send people to the Blackwater Guard’s barracks to mobilize the army to block the entire Zezhi City!” William made a decisive decision. He thought he was well-connected in the army, and several guards’ generals before. Sworn allegiance to him.
“His Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness, the Black Water Guard has taken control of Zezhi City!” At this moment, someone from outside hurriedly came to deliver the news.
“Oh? Have you acted? It’s so fast and the blockade is good. Let’s arrest the idiot Henry.” Although William was a little surprised, he originally planned to let people mobilize the Blackwater Guard. Now Blackwater The guards came so quickly, which saved the trouble.
“Wait a minute!” Jones immediately stopped William.
“What’s the matter? Jones, is there any problem? We have delayed so much time, but now it should not be too late!” William said anxiously.
“No, your Royal Highness, there is something wrong with this.” Jones said with a frown.
“What’s wrong?” William felt inexplicable for a while.
“His Royal Highness, we all just got the news. The Blackwater Guards got the news and rushed to block the city of Ze. It will take some time. This means that they know the changes in the city of Zee before us. This shows that What?” Jones asked solemnly.
“This shows… they learned about things from Henry? They actually fell to Henry’s side?” William quickly came to this conclusion, which surprised him, because he had always regarded the Blackwater Guard as It’s his own personal weapon!
“No way, how is this kind of thing possible? I only met General Bolong last week.” William still felt unbelievable.
“This kind of thing is really shocking, but His Royal Highness William, we have been ten hours late to get the news. His Royal Highness Henry knew the situation in advance, and we finished the arrangement earlier. We have lost the initiative. It is better to be more cautious. .”
“Since the Blackwater Guard has a problem, let’s call the Whitewater Guard.” William thought for a while and said.
“No, your Royal Highness William, why don’t you understand? Even your most trusted Blackwater Guard has a problem, let alone other things.” Jones sighed, and he persuaded him to persuade him.
“Hello, don’t you mean… the Whitewater Guard also had an accident, and they all fell to Henry’s side?” William’s eyes widened, which was too incredible for him.
“As far as the status quo is concerned, this is very possible. Your Royal Highness William, we have no way to take risks now, so we must withdraw from the city of Zee!” After a calm analysis, Jones confirmed that this is what they can do right now. best choice.
“You let me leave here? Didn’t I leave here to show weakness to the guy Henry? And once I leave, don’t you admit that he is the heir to the throne in disguise?” William had a big opinion on this, he would never Agree to leave Zezhicheng easily.
Because he had carefully prepared for the throne for eight full years. During this period, he was good at dancing with long sleeves and attracted a large number of big men in the army, and the big nobles and big businessmen also supported him with a clear-cut stand.
But how long it took, those who should have supported him all turned to Henry, which made him especially incomprehensible.
He had no idea where the problem was. How well they became Henry’s helper?
“His Royal Highness, we can only plan a counterattack if we leave the city of Zee safely. There are still many people who support you in the land of Marsh, but if we still choose to stay in the city of Zee, now Ze The city is likely to have been controlled by Henry, once it falls into Henry’s hands, then we will lose the hope of a comeback!” Jones said earnestly.
“This…” William was still in a state of hesitation, because it was too sudden for him. He was completely unprepared, but at this moment, someone rushed over to report the situation.
“Your Highness, Your Highness, it’s okay, the members of the White Water Guard rushed over. They surrounded us all, and they don’t know what they want to do.” The servant urgently reported the current situation, now in the city of Zezhi. It was a mess, no one knew what happened.
“What? Whitewater Guard? Chase that bastard… really fell to Henry’s side? It’s really damn…”
William was furious at this, and it was obvious that they had fallen into a very urgent situation at this time.
“His Royal Highness, if you don’t leave now, it will be too late for a while!” Jones urged again and again.
“I see, we will leave now, Henry… I will definitely make you pay!” Although William was unwilling.
But he knew Jones’ suggestion was correct, and once he fell into Henry’s hands, everything would be nothing.
Soon he took a few personal guards and hurriedly left along the underground secret passage with Jones. This was his back hand prepared in advance. The only ones who knew that this passage existed were him and Jones, and he was right. Jones is very trusting.
When the White Water Guards broke into the mansion, the huge mansion was empty. Where is William’s shadow?
Soon General Chase, the captain of the White Water Guard, reported the situation here to Henry.
At this time, Henry had just finished talking with the cabinet minister.
“Master Fama, I have something to do, so I won’t send you off. You will send Master Fama back to the mansion for me.” Henry saw that his confidant was sending information, and he asked a guard to protect Fama from leaving. After all, Ze The city is in chaos, and it is necessary to ensure that no accidents happen.
“What did you say? William ran away?” Henry frowned after learning about Henry’s side.
“Yes, His Royal Highness William escaped from the mansion. We have already launched a search in the city of Zezhi, but we have not found him.” He replied truthfully. He sent people to control the city of Zezhi early in the morning. The key location was originally guaranteed to be foolproof.
But I didn’t expect William to get lost. This is a big hidden danger.
“Let him escape…This is a bit of a hassle, and immediately send someone to chase him urgently. Whether it is on land or on the sea, William must be found. If he is allowed to escape to the north, it is not very good. Now, there are still many people in the north who support him.” Henry frowned and said.
“I’m going to give orders, but your Highness, there is one thing I need to report to you.”
“whats the matter?”
“The fleet in Riverside City has calmed down the old port. Riverside City announced the cancellation of the noble title of the Octopus Family. The patriarch of the Octopus Family Helden fled to the sea and his whereabouts are unknown.” The confidant reported truthfully.
“Hilden’s useless thing, I couldn’t even seize River Bend City. Forget it, just ignore the river Bend City for the time being. It’s better to control the situation in Zezhi City first.” Henry knew. The priority of the matter.
Originally in the city of Ze, he did not have the advantage, but he completed the comeback with thunder in one day, and dealt a fatal blow to his brother William.
Now William fled in embarrassment, although this has brought him little trouble.
But even if William fled back to the north, his strength was not enough to make a big storm. At best, he was just sending an army to the north to quell the rebellion. For Henry, everything can be said to be settled. .
At the same time that the city of Zezhi changed drastically, a fleet departed from Hewan City and headed towards the city of Zezhi.
Du Lei was lying on the side of the ship. For him, taking a boat was not a good experience, which made him vomit and vomit.
“Du Lei, are you okay?” Messiah asked with concern.
“It’s okay, it’s just a small matter, but…” At this moment, a raven flew over from the sky.
The raven rested on Du Lei’s arm, and a letter box could be seen on its feet.
Obviously this raven is used to deliver messages.
“Huh? Did such an extraordinary event happen?” Du Lei opened the letterbox and said in surprise when he saw the letter inside.
“What’s the matter, Du Lei, what happened?” Messiah leaned over and asked.
“It’s the city of Zee. I’m sorry to tell you that your uncle, King Charles, has passed away.” After reading the letter, Du Lei burned the letter and turned to look at the Messiah. , Said seriously.
“What? Your uncle…” Messiah was very surprised by the news.
“Everyone is dead, you don’t have to be too sad.” Du Lei comforted her.
“I know. Actually, the last time I saw your uncle’s appearance, I knew where he was about to go. In fact, I was mentally prepared, but I still felt a little sudden.” Messiah said softly. .
“The old king is dead now, and the past has become dust, but there are still many people alive, and the living will fight for power. Your two cousins have already started a contest, but from the perspective of the status quo, Henry seems to have the upper hand.” Du Lei continued.
“Henry has the upper hand? Shouldn’t it be William who has more advantage?” This surprised Messiah.
“William’s advantage is only superficial. A long time ago, Henry secretly bought William’s supporters and had a firm control of Zezhicheng. It’s just that William didn’t know it. Today, such a change can be made, too. William took the blame for himself.”
