The most shameless alchemist in history - Chapter 878
Chapter 878
For William, his life can be said to have fallen from the peak to the bottom all at once. Originally, he was the closest person to the throne.
He had made preparations for ascending the throne early, and he had even planned a drastic reform of the Numa Country.
He has ambitious ambitions, and he still has lofty ideals to be fulfilled, but all of this was wiped out with the fire at the Bay City naval battle. With the defeat of the Bay City naval battle, the voice of questioning him grew more and more. Many, the ministers and nobles who originally supported him also began to abandon him.
This made William suffer an unprecedented sense of frustration, and with the death of the old King Charles, Henry, who he had never seen in his eyes, fought a turnaround in just one night, and Henry, who had been planning for a long time, was in Controlled the situation in Zezhicheng within a very short period of time.
Moreover, Henry’s hidden chess pieces played a role. Even the north, which William regarded as a monolithic piece, also changed. His uncle was arrested, which meant that he had lost the most powerful foreign aid. There are fewer and fewer cards in his hands.
It happened that at this time he ran into the Messiah again, and the men from the Bay Fleet were arrested, which cast a shadow over his life again.
“So… what do you want to do to me?” William knew that his situation was very bad, and his mood was very nervous.
When facing Messiah and Du Lei at this time, he was no longer arrogant as before.
Although his tone still seems to be very tough, anyone can hear it.
“What we want does not depend on us, but on your Royal Highness William.” Du Lei was also polite when facing William.
“It depends on me? What do you mean?” William frowned, and he looked suspiciously at the young man in front of him.
“His Royal Highness, you are a wise man. You should know the current situation. For you, succession to the throne has become impossible, right?” Du Lei did not rush to answer William’s question, but asked rhetorically. .
“This…what about it?” William knew that Du Lei was right, even if he was very close to the throne not long ago, as if he was close at hand.
However, with Henry’s strong shot, all of this has disappeared. At this time, let alone inheriting the throne, even whether to protect himself has become a very difficult thing.
“If I were your Royal Highness William, you would consider some issues that are in your own interests, such as being unable to obtain the throne, then you should strive to maximize your own interests. Your Highness William, do you think Henry will guarantee your rights after becoming king? Du Lei continued to ask.
“That guy Henry, he took a deliberate effort to bring me down. He would definitely want to kill me. It must be impossible to guarantee my rights or something.” William gritted his teeth when he mentioned Henry. This is extremely angry.
“Compared to Henry, if you let Messiah become the king of the swamp country, what do you think of Her Royal Highness William?” Du Lei then slowly threw out the Messiah. At this time, even Messiah himself had some feelings. Surprised, because she didn’t think she could be a king.
“Messiah? This…” William was stunned, obviously he had never thought about this problem.
“Why, do you have any questions, Your Royal Highness William?” Du Lei looked at him in such a hesitant manner and asked.
“I worked with Henry to deal with the Messiah before, you guys… Surely you can’t wait to put me to death now?” William recalled what happened in the city of Ze. After he learned that the old king planned to make the Messiah his heir, Henry found him on his own initiative.
Henry made it clear at the time that he would support William as king, and the two teamed up to defeat the Messiah.
That’s why the later Messiah was almost arrested, fled back to River City in embarrassment, and then triggered the naval battle in River City.
“I never thought about this kind of thing!” Messiah said immediately.
“Never thought about it? Messiah, don’t you hate me?” William asked in a daze.
“Of course I don’t hate it. In fact, when I was young, Brother William treated me very well. When I first arrived in Zezhicheng, I was bullied by other noble children. It was Brother William that you protected me. I remember all those things. “The Messiah mentioned some long-standing things.
“That… it’s been so long.” William sighed with emotion.
In fact, he has always had a good impression of Messiah, and always regarded the latter as his sister.
It was only afterwards that he learned that Messiah would be listed as the heir to the throne, and Henry was bewitched that he did that kind of thing.
“I have always regarded Brother William as a beloved brother. I think Brother William has your reasons for doing those things. I have never been angry.” Messiah said seriously.
“Messiah…” William felt melancholy when he heard Messiah say this.
He really did a lot of wrong things!
When William met with Messiah and Du Lei, the city of Ze at this time turned into a pot of porridge.
Henry finally settled the situation. He organized the North in an orderly manner, because he knew that William was his only threat, and William’s reliance came from the North. Although the North was still secretly ready to move, at least he was in control on the surface. To the north.
Then there is only one thing for Henry, and that is to prepare for his enthronement ceremony. As long as he successfully ascends the throne, completes the ceremony, and informs the countries of the mainland, then this will become a certain thing, and then it will be a swamp. Unrest occurred in the country.
Then he signed agreements with other countries in the name of King Numa no Kuni, and invited neighboring countries to send troops, which can also firmly control the situation.
At best, he is only cede a part of the territory of Numa Country, anyway, he is still young, and there is still a grand blueprint to be displayed.
It is not a big deal to cede part of the land now, because he will take it back in the future.
Originally Henry had this idea, and everything was indeed carried out according to his plan. His process of capturing the city of Ze was extremely smooth.
However, even after he completed so many preparations, the accident still happened.
The fleet of River Bay City headed towards Zezhi City and stopped at a distance of thirty nautical miles from Zezhi City.
The arrival of the river bay city fleet caused an uproar in the city of Zezhi, and people talked about it.
“Hey, have you heard that the fleet from River Bay City is here. There are nearly a hundred warships. They are gathered near Crocodile Bay. It is very close to us from Crocodile Bay. You can reach us in two hours!”
“Isn’t this a rumor? Not long ago, our royal capital and the combined fleet of the Octopus family attacked River Bay City. It has only been more than half a month, and they turned to attack us. This is inevitable. It’s too funny.”
“What’s so funny about this. I don’t know what’s going on in the river bay area. I am obviously not good at naval battles before, but after winning the sea battle in river bay city, I suddenly became very aggressive. I heard that they were still attacking the old port of the Octopus family and drove the Octopus family back to the sea. It was only a long time before they hit the capital of the king. This is incredible.”
In Zezhicheng, people are very worried about the arrival of the river bay city fleet. You must know that when the united fleet was marching towards river bay city not long ago, they all cheered and shouted, “Down with the river bay guy”. if.
After all, the Hewan area has always been known for its wealth. It is even richer than Zezhi City. The people in Zezhi City are happy to see Hewan City suffer, but I didn’t expect it to take long. Fengshui took turns. Turn, it was their turn to be attacked.
The people in the city of Lianze were terrified about this, let alone Henry. It took him so much effort to stabilize the situation in the city of Zezhi. Just when he was about to ascend the throne, a river happened. The advance of the Bay City fleet gave him a particular headache.
“What’s the matter with Messiah? With her guts, how could she send a fleet to attack the city of Ze, is she an open rebellion?” Henry was particularly annoyed at this, when he was in a superior position. At that time, he can control the situation lightly.
But now something unexpected happened, which made him feel very restless.
Because he is faintly aware that very unfavorable things will happen.
“This must be someone secretly instructing her, I think it’s probably Du Lei.” Henry’s confidant Karen said calmly.
“Du Lei? It’s him again? What’s the matter with him, deliberately trying to fight us?” Henry was particularly angry about this.
“I don’t know what this person wants to do. When he was in Snow Country before, he had the opportunity to grab all the power in his hands, but he didn’t do that. Instead, he resigned and left Snow Country. Now he has come to our marsh country again, and dominates the naval battle in River Bay. Now he is planning to let the fleet of River Bay City come under the city. Is he just purely trying to seize the throne for Messiah?”
Karen thought carefully. He is a thoughtful person. He believes that anyone needs a starting point to do something.
However, on this matter, he thought about it for a long time, but he couldn’t find where Du Lei’s starting point was.
“Damn it, no matter what his purpose is, Numa no Country has not faced a situation of being persecuted by soldiers for more than a hundred years. According to the plan, my enthronement ceremony will begin tomorrow, but I will face it now. Pawn front of the River Bay Fleet, how do you want me to ascend the throne?”
Henry asked angrily, which made him especially annoyed, the river bay fleet came at an untimely time.
It would be nice if he could come two days late. After he became the throne, he would be able to take care of it calmly.
But choosing such an opportunity makes him especially embarrassed.
“His Royal Highness, you don’t have to worry about it. With our defensive capabilities in Zezhi City, it is easy to deal with the River Bay Fleet. Tomorrow your enthronement ceremony can be held as usual, and your Highness, we can still do this…” Karen was in Henry’s ear Whisper in a low voice.
“What? So…is it really okay?” Henry frowned.
“Don’t worry, they will definitely agree. If we can get their help, we can definitely annihilate the Bay Fleet.” Karen said with a smile, placing a map in front of him and Henry.
There is a point on the map, that is the location of Crocodile Bay, and it is also the place where the River Bay fleet is stationed.
“Understood, just do what you said, Messiah, idiot, does she think she can fight me with just a few strokes of hers? Tomorrow she will know how stupid she is!” Henry took up the dagger and stabbed it at the location of Crocodile Bay!
Crocodile Bay is a natural deep-water bay, very suitable for stationing fleets.
Moreover, there are abundant freshwater resources in Crocodile Bay, which can be supplied here.
The mighty fleet coming from River Bay City chose to be stationed in Crocodile Bay. The guards and sailors on board disembarked and rested in Crocodile Bay.
Du Lei and Messiah also got off the boat. They were walking on the shore, looking far away from this position.
You can see the outline of Zezhicheng.
“I didn’t expect to be able to return to the city of Ze one day, and so soon.” Messiah recalled the scene when she fled from the city of Ze a month ago when she was chased and killed by William and Henry. , Almost lost his life here.
But she didn’t expect that now, a month later, she actually led the fleet back to the outside of Zezhi City.
And she has to wield an army to attack the city, which is just like a dream for her, which is not real.
“Now Henry should be discussing with his subordinates how to deal with us.” Du Lei said in the direction of Zezhicheng.
“But Du Lei, with our military strength, I am afraid it will be difficult to take down Zezhi City. Zezhi City is much stronger than Hewan City…” Messiah said with some embarrassment, and she gave it the entire time. Du Lei arranged it.
She supports Du Lei’s actions and trusts him very much, but she still has doubts about this matter.
Because the city of Zezhi has strong defenses, the river bay fleet is not unbelievable, but if you want to take the city of Zezhi, I am afraid that there are two river bay fleets.
And once Zezhicheng chooses to stick to it, they will have to spend a long time before they can take Zezhicheng.
This is a very difficult process.
This is not only a shortage of troops, but also their logistical supplies cannot keep up.
“If it’s normal, we really can’t take the city of Ze, so the first thing we need to do is not to attack, but to defend.”
“Defense?” Messiah looked at him in confusion.
“Yes, it’s defense. If I guess right, we will encounter the first wave of attacks tomorrow!” Du Lei looked at the sky in the distance and said with certainty.
But what he looked at was not the direction of Zezhi City, but the sky on the west side!
