The most shameless alchemist in history - Chapter 882
Chapter 882
Henry was originally scheduled to be his enthronement ceremony today. For this, he made a lot of preparations and prepared his speech early. This will be an epoch-making day in Numa no Kuni. He is ambitious and he has made up his mind. We must join forces with the country of wind and cannibalize the country of rain together.
He is not the same as his father, Charlie. He is not satisfied with the current turf. He wants more, and he believes that if he wants to get it, he must rely on himself to plunder. Although he looks gentle and weak, he is not at all like his brother William. That’s tough, but he is a natural predator!
But on the premise of making all the preparations, with the storm yesterday, everything was wiped out.
If the fire outside River Bend burned out William’s ambitions and kicked William out of the game, so that he could no longer reach the throne, then the big storm in Crocodile Bay would extinguish his ambitions and dreams. Destroyed to nothing.
Because of the retreat of the airship corps, it means that he has lost a strong foreign aid, and his loss is more than that. In order to meet the airship fleet, he sent the Wang’s fleet. Originally, the Wang’s fleet was in River Bay. One third was wiped out over there.
Now another third of his dispatches were attacked by the storm and almost completely wiped out.
As a result, the guard guarding the city of Ze is only one-third of its original size, only about two thousand people.
Of course, with the strong defense of Zezhi City, they can resist for a while, and he can also summon the nobles from all sides to defend the capital and send troops to support. If the king issues an order, then they can be assembled within a week. An army of 30,000 people.
But the premise is that this needs to be an order issued by the king. Henry’s biggest problem at this time is that he has not yet taken the throne.
If there is no River Bay Fleet, his enthronement, even if it attracts opposition, he can also suppress dissatisfaction.
But now the River Bay Fleet is approaching the city, and it has not yet exerted its strength, so that the Wang’s fleet will be defeated again. This leads to Henry’s reluctance to claim the king at this time, it is also very pale and weak. Before the dust on the city of Ze, he No one will admit him.
And it’s not even worse. The chief of the inner court who had been serving the old king back then escaped from the city of Zezhi. He held the edict left by the old king. According to the content of the edict, the old king appointed Messiah as the country of Zezhi. The new king.
Henry’s face turned green when he got the news. One reason why he was angry was that the old Charlie would rather give the position of king to Messiah than his son. This is nothing. !
Another reason is that the Messiah who received this edict is equivalent to having an official status and gradually occupying an advantageous position.
Although Henry jumped out in the first place and pointed out that the edict was forged, he did not admit it!
But now let the major nobles in the Numa country stay on the sidelines. Most of them chose to be neutral. Even if some of them were supporting Henry with a clear-cut stand at the beginning, they gradually realized that the weather vane was wrong, and all of them became neutral. There was no answer.
And Henry took a lot of effort to barely control the north, and it is also rumored that the nobles in the north have teamed up to drive away his confidant, allowing William’s uncle to become governor again, and William appeared to publicly support the Messiah at this time. This is tantamount to stabbing Henry’s chest with a knife.
At the call of William, the North sent an army to the south and declared obedience to Messiah’s orders.
After the octopus family was settled in the river bay area, another fleet also came to rendezvous, which increased the number of coalition forces outside the city of Zezhi.
Not only the navy, except for the local army that supports the Messiah on the land, even the troops of the mountain country, the snow country, and the rain country are on the border. Although they did not invade the land of the Numa country, but Their threat is very obvious.
Because who doesn’t know that these three countries have made friends with that guy named Du Lei!
And the crisis Henry faced was not only these. When he called a meeting of ministers before, most of the ministers would come to attend.
But since the River Bay Fleet came to the city, fewer ministers came to the meeting.
Since the River Bay Fleet has blocked the city of Zee for a week, Henry has not been able to summon a single minister!
“Damn it, these guys who know the truth, when I drove William away, they all showed their loyalty, but now I have fallen into this field, but they all can’t get out of it!” Henry learned from his subordinates that the ministers were unable to come to the meeting for various reasons, which made him particularly angry.
“His Royal Highness, we are in a very difficult situation now. I’m afraid you have to prepare in advance.”
“Prepare in advance? What preparation? Do you mean to let me run away like a bereaved dog?” Henry scolded.
“His Royal Highness, although this is difficult, we must prepare for the worst. Recently, there have been arson incidents in the Royal Capital. This is probably not a pure security incident.” Henry’s confidant still persuaded each other bitterly.
“You mean, someone deliberately created turmoil in the capital, waiting to open the capital to welcome the chaotic party?”
“As far as the situation is concerned, I am afraid that is the case.”
“It took me so many years to win a great situation with great difficulty, but did I lose to Messiah in a very short time?”
Henry was very unwilling to do this.
“No, to be precise, I lost to the young man named Du Lei.” The confidant said corrected.
“Du Lei… Damn, I understand, then I will go to the Kingdom of Wind to avoid the limelight.” Henry sighed.
No matter how unwilling he is, he also knows that he must save himself before he has other possibilities, if something happens to himself.
Then don’t mention to realize your dream or something.
“His Royal Highness, I’m afraid it won’t work in the Kingdom of Wind.”
“No? Why not? I have always had good relations with the Kingdom of Wind, and they have exchanged letters. They also promised before that if something happens, they will do their best to protect my safety.” Henry said inexplicably.
“At this moment and then, our situation was very good at the time. From the view of the Kingdom of Wind, we did not reach the point of refuge, but now we are in a difficult situation, and the Kingdom of Wind has also suffered losses in Crocodile Bay. He has already been strongly criticized because of the defeat in the Snow Nation War, and now his actions in the Numa Nation have failed. This has caused his support in the Wind Nation to continue to decline. This time he cannot protect himself. , How can we ensure our safety?” confidant said analytically.
“Damn… I didn’t expect to fall to this point, then where are we going?” Henry was anxious and smashed the cup beside him.
“The safest place for us right now… I’m afraid it is the country of rain.” The confidant said softly.
“What? The country of rain? But we and the country of rain have always been hostile, and the country of rain also displayed heavy troops on our border.” Henry was taken aback.
“The reason why the country of rain sent troops is just to behave. They still have a lot of problems to solve. Where can we interfere in the country of swamp? Your Highness, it will be dawn soon. If I guess correctly, it will be after dawn. Someone opened the gate of the city, let’s leave here as soon as possible while the capital has not fallen.” The confidant looked out the window, and the sky in the distance had turned white.
“Well, it’s up to you.” Henry knew he had no other choice, and after hesitating for a while, he left the palace in a hurry…
At dawn, when the sleepy guards were waiting for the next comrades to take over, they saw a guard rushing over to surround them. These guards were not the ones who should be handed over, they were members of the rapids guard.
Under normal circumstances, the Riptide Guard should be responsible for the security of the city, not for city defense. However, the Riptide Guard disarmed all the soldiers from the city guard and opened the city gate. An army that had been waiting outside quickly poured in. In the city.
All this came too fast, so when the people in the capital got up, they saw that the streets were full of guards, and they wore different emblems on their chests, both from the Osprey family and from the Swordfish family. They are all families in the river bay area.
“What are you talking about? The capital has fallen? The city defense team was disarmed, and the army in the river bay area entered the capital?”
When he heard the news, it surprised a leather merchant, because it was okay yesterday.
Everyone is saying that King Capital should be able to last a month, but how long has it been, and the sky has changed in just one night?
“You don’t know what fall, right? His Royal Highness Messiah is the legal heir to the throne. It’s Henry that guy who resists stubbornly.”
“I’m a little confused, what about His Royal Highness?”
“Where else can I ran away long ago.”
“How could it be like this? The king’s capital has changed now. How should I do this business?” This made the businessman worried.
“You are really worrying too much. Even if the sky changes, how you should do business or how to do business will not only have no effect on you, but I just heard that His Highness the Messiah is going to reduce our taxes for one year!”
“What? There is such a thing? This is great news!” The leather merchant, who was still drooping his head, suddenly became excited when he heard it. If this is to exempt one year of taxation, it can save a lot of money. What about the money!
At this time, more and more people were watching on both sides of the street, watching the army entering the city.
According to previous rumors, it was said that the bandits in the Hewan area were all bandits. They entered the king’s city and killed everyone, so that everyone enthusiastically joined the army to defend the king’s capital. But now it seems that after the army in the Hewan area enters the city, they are in order. Orderly, and did not offend ordinary people.
Only then did the people realize that they had been fooled by people before, and the soldiers in the Hewan area had such good discipline!
This makes them feel that there is no difference in their normal life, and the guys in the city defense team often don’t pay for food!
The good discipline of the army in the river bay area won the favor of the people, and they responded and welcomed the army in the river bay area to enter the city.
After all, they had a legal edict. On the carriage, Messiah looked at the enthusiastic people through the window.
Du Lei was sitting next to her.
“Have you actually returned to the capital? When I fled the capital, I thought I would never return.” Messiah said with emotion.
“Now you are not only back, but also sitting on the throne.” Du Lei said with a smile.
“Du Lei, don’t make jokes about me, you know, I never thought about becoming a king, and I don’t know what to do.” Messiah is always confident in front of others It was full, but in front of Du Lei, she revealed the real appearance.
“You can’t learn slowly, you are so smart, you will definitely learn.”
“Then… will you teach me?” Messiah looked at him and asked seriously.
“I have no experience, how can I teach?” Du Lei laughed blankly.
“As long as you can stay with me, Du Lei, I feel very at ease, and you know, Du Lei, that the situation in the country of swamp is not stable, and I can’t control it at all.” Messiah is very self-aware. .
Including this entry into the royal capital, Du Lei was also planning it alone. In fact, she did not do anything substantive.
“It doesn’t matter, the situation will stabilize soon. I will stay in Numa country for a period of time to help you sort out Numa country.”
“Stay for a while? In other words, Du Lei, will you still leave?” Messiah was a little bit lost.
“Yes, when the stone slab Lance handed over to me is deciphered, I will leave. It should take two or three months to decipher.” Du Lei thought for a while and said.
“So short…” Messiah originally wanted to keep Du Lei behind.
But before she had time to speak, Du Lei first stated his departure date.
“Time is a bit tight, but it shouldn’t be a problem to deal with various affairs. Messiah, you are the queen who is about to become a queen. Why are you not confident at all? You should show your aura as a queen.” Du Lei watched When he came to Messiah, he said with a smile.
“I know, I will study hard!” Messiah replied solemnly.
“It’s just to show off this momentum, otherwise it will be tricky to deal with many of the next problems.”
“Ah? What’s the problem?” Messiah looked at him blankly.
“Henry’s old ministry issues, as well as issues left over by the old king, diplomatic issues, a lot, these are waiting for you to deal with.” Du Lei counted them one by one.
“But Du Lei, didn’t you say that you would help me?” Messiah was a little anxious.
“Yes, I want to help you, but things still need to be handled by the queen of you.”
“No, Du Lei was not like that when you were in the Snow Country!”
“That’s because I’m the inspector general in the Snow Country, so there are a lot of things.”
“If this is the case, then I will appoint Du Lei you as cabinet minister!”
