Chapter 144 The despicable thief who stole the country entered Tingen (6k)
At the border of the South and Baratheon.
The southern army's camp was temporarily set up here.
Opposite Morn is the Baratheon fortress complex, officially known as the Tingen Fortress Complex.
It's not as strong as a wall like Grasse, but it's still a hassle to break through.
And in Moon's tent, there were only two people at the moment.
One was Moen who was sitting in the main seat, and the other was Prince Adela who was visiting.
Looking at Moon who didn't even come down to show his respect.
Prince Adela couldn't help but shook his head and said:
"Lord Trajan, you are a noble, and so am I. You should at least show some respect, right?"
Still sitting in his seat, Moen smiled and said:
"I am showing the utmost respect to your father and mother by letting you tag along. After all, we are practically enemies, aren't we?"
"Prince Adela."
Prince Adela returned to Khazad-dum just as he was preparing to set off.
Although I wonder why the other party came back at this time.
But since that woman Aurora did not die directly, Moon had no intention of directly breaking off relations with a dynasty.
But that's it.
"So, now that we're here, you should probably tell us why you followed us, right?"
Seeing Moon's reaction, Adela shook her head helplessly.
He was a prince, theoretically the most noble person after gods and kings, but Trajan really had no respect for this.
If it were someone else, he would definitely be very interested in letting the other person know what politeness and class are.
But here
Prince Adela let out a long sigh and took out two potions from his white robe.
After a moment's hesitation, he handed the copy in his left hand to Moon:
"My mother disagrees with me, but my father disagrees with her. So, I am here to give this to you on my father's orders."
"If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the key to your victory."
Prince Adela took the remaining portion back.
Moon knew what it was. It was the Sequence 2 potion of the Path of Glory.
The Queen, Emperor Loiman, and Emperor Doyle each had one copy, and his own copy was made into a sound-hunting soldier.
So this is the remaining fifth?
Prince Adela noticed Morn's gaze and said with a smile:
"I was ordered to give you only this one. As for this one, I'm sorry. I can't give it to you."
Then, he raised the potion in his hand and asked:
"So, do you want this?"
Nodding to show that he understood, Moen walked down from his seat and came in front of Prince Adela.
This guy is indeed as beautiful as his mother, stunning at first sight.
It seems that he takes after his mother Aurora completely, otherwise he wouldn't be like this if he looked even a little bit like his father.
It's not that his father was so ugly that it shocked the world. It's just that the two of them together really reminded Morn of Beauty and the Beast.
Anyway, after taking the potion from the other party, Moon said with a little surprise:
"This isn't right."
"What do you mean?"
"This is the extraordinary characteristic of Sequence 1 of the Path of Glory."
"Yes, Master Trajan."
Adela chuckled and nodded.
"He comes from King Baratheon Doyle?"
"If no other master appears along the way, then it is indeed the case."
Prince Adela took a serious look at Moon, and sure enough, Trajan also knew that the man was Emperor Leuman the Great.
When Khazad-dum received his mother's reply, he wondered why his mother asked him to kill Kantas but continued to cooperate with the emperor.
Then he cut the letter in half along the direction of his finger, and looking at the separated Kantas and the Emperor, he finally understood.
Kantas and the Great Emperor are not together.
The only reason that can explain this is that the current Emperor Doyle is actually Emperor Loiman!
If this is not the case, it cannot explain why the emperor is hostile to his own subjects.
"But in this case, how did he maintain the last ideal country for a thousand years?"
Without waiting for Adela to respond, Moon, who was carefully checking the potion in his hand, suddenly said:
"This potion is incomplete. Before he was killed, Emperor Doyle used the last ideal country to tear out a part of his extraordinary characteristics?"
You reacted so quickly?!
Prince Adela was surprised again. He only knew this after his father told him.
This person actually reacted just by looking at the potion.
Adela wasn't surprised that the other party could guess it, but wasn't this a little too fast?
"Yes, as you said, this potion is incomplete, so the emperor needs to cooperate with us. He is not only playing word games, but he is also missing the most crucial thing."
"The glorious angel he defeated was not complete."
Moon's reasoning at the time was very close to reality, but another very big reason why the other party had been forbearing was that Emperor Doyle was not a normal angel of glory.
This is the life-saving talisman that Emperor Doyle left for himself.
It is also Moon’s biggest advantage now.
Since Emperor Doyle is not complete, he cannot become a god before the other party gets his magic potion.
Prince Adela's voice continued:
"He needs this, and, never mind, I can't tell you more. After all, I still have to carry out my mother's wishes."
Moon also understood what the other party meant.
The wills of God and the King diverged.
After a brief contemplation, Morn asked Adela:
"Your father, does he also disagree with your mother's choice?"
Faced with this question, Prince Adela frowned deeply.
After a long time, he said:
“You asked a question that has no answer.”
Moon did not ask any more questions. He just held up the potion and said to Prince Adela:
"Thank your father for me. Then I'll spread the word that I ambushed you and stole this."
Prince Adela said with some surprise:
"Are you crazy? Ambushing a prince is a serious crime. Your position and my mother's position will change drastically because of this."
"Before I get this, your mother will definitely leave. After I get this, your mother will wait until this is over before leaving."
Adela looked at Moon with great surprise.
This guy seems to know his mother better than he does.
Moreover, Moon said something meaningful to Adela:
"You are a prince, but you are only a prince. Your father will be fine no matter what happens, but you are different."
This sentence made Adela fall into a deep silence.
In God's eyes, love does exist, but this love belongs only to the King.
"I must thank you for your generosity, Lord Trajan."
"No matter what the situation, there are some principles that need to be upheld. Adela."
Prince Adela nodded slightly and said:
"I think I'm leaving now."
"No delivery."
Moon's answer surprised Adela again:
"Didn't you just say that there are always some principles that need to be upheld? Why don't you come and see me off in person?"
Moon was also surprised and said:
"I have done what I should have done, and now haven't we returned to being enemies?"
How come this person doesn't understand the situation? Isn't he just a prince?
Do you really have to tell me?
Prince Adela once again looked deeply at Moon.
He is right, but it does feel bad.
This was the first time someone was so direct in front of him:
"You are indeed a very unique person."
Prince Adela shook his head and left.
When he opened the door and left, Hadley and Claude, two demigods from the Southern Territory, just arrived.
After making way for Adela, the two men bowed and walked into the tent together.
From their expressions, it was clear that something big had happened.
But this has nothing to do with me now, I have already done what my father asked me to do.
Inside the tent, the two southern demigods spoke to Moon in a serious tone:
"Your Majesty, there is a lot of commotion in Tingen."
"what happened?"
"That false emperor, he appointed Horatio Nelson as Marshal and raised for him almost all of Baratheon's navy and all nearby legions."
"It can be said that nearly half of Baratheon's forces are now in Tingen."
"Moreover, that madman Nelson actually doesn't plan to rely on the fortress to fight against us."
Having said that, Claude directly opened the door curtain.
Revealed were the fleets that looked like dark clouds covering the sun in the opposite sky, and the truly densely packed army on the ground.
"That madman intends to fight us head-on!"
Looking at the huge army and the terrifying scene.
Moon asked in surprise:
"You said the leader of the other side is Nelson?"
"Yes, sire."
Remembering the silence he felt when he first came here, Moon asked for confirmation:
"Is it Vice Admiral Horatio Nelson who is from the Navy?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, it is that Nelson, and he is from the royal party. Now he must have believed the false emperor's lies and is filled with anger and wants to fight you to the death."
"Our spies even told us that in order to fight you to the death, he even made almost insane personnel changes in his own legions and major affiliated units."
Moon pointed at the opposite side with increasing surprise and said:
"You mean to say that not only is Horatio Nelson the leader of the other side, but he has also completely changed the command system of the other side?"
"Not only that, Your Majesty, he even screened the soldiers and fleets on the front line."
"He must be afraid that someone might be afraid of your reputation and flee."
In those days, there were many armies and nobles who fled because of fear of Trajan.
In fact, even now, there is only one person in the entire imperial capital who belongs to the royal party, Horatio Nelson, who dares to stand up against the noble killer.
The two demigods are now very annoyed.
They didn't expect someone to come up and fight.
So the preparation was a bit hasty.
Moon looked at the opposite side in disbelief, then turned back to look at the iris flag behind him.
In the strong wind, the irises are singing.
No way? !
So you want me to recreate a classic?!
Moon felt that he needed to give it a try.
And this is not just to reproduce the classics, but also an attempt to save the lives of perhaps millions of people.
"Take me to the front."
The two demigods thought that Moon wanted to go to the front line to see the situation in person, so they immediately protected Moon and stepped forward.
On the front lines of both sides.
The opposite side was dark and oppressive.
And it looked like an attack could come at any moment.
This made the two demigods a little nervous:
"Your Majesty, please go to the back."
Claude drew his sword and said:
"Let me go talk to them!"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will let them know how powerful the Southern Territory is, just like we did back then!"
The soldiers from the southern border were the most capable fighters in this land back then.
Moen raised his hand to stop them and said:
"I want to go further."
"His Majesty?"
"obey orders."
Although the two demigods were worried, they still carried out Morn's will:
"Guards, step out!"
In this way, Moon led his guards of no more than a thousand people and headed towards the center of the battlefield.
And above Tingen.
Marshal Nelson on the flagship also noticed this scene.
He pointed at the black spot in front of him and said in disbelief:
"Who is that?" His staff officers also said in disbelief:
"It seems to be Trajan and his guards?"
"what?"
The moment Nelson heard it was Trajan, he broke out in a cold sweat.
How can this be?
How can you come to this place at this time?
He said hurriedly:
"The situation is still unclear. Pass the order down. No one is allowed to attack first without my order."
"Yes, Marshal."
After the messenger went down, Nelson hurriedly called his adjutant and said:
"Are you sure the people in front are ready?"
The adjutant nodded and said:
"Don't worry, Marshal. These are all people I carefully selected. They will never move without your order."
"That's fine, that's fine."
"But the Marshal's army is too large. I don't know if it will be the same in the future."
Nelson couldn't help but wipe the sweat off his face.
"Prepare the boat, I want to get off!"
He must go to the front line, otherwise if something goes wrong, he will not be able to control the army.
Although Nelson ordered not to launch the first attack.
But looking at the enemy getting closer and closer.
The two demigods said one after another:
"Your Majesty, please go back quickly and leave this to us!"
Moen raised his hand and said:
"Stop."
The two demigods thought that Moon was finally planning to go back.
They hurriedly gave the order:
"The front team will become the rear team. I will cover the rear. You and Claude will take His Majesty back."
Moon gave completely contradictory instructions:
"No, just stop here. Of course, you can go back."
"His Majesty?!"
The two demigods finally tasted something wrong.
"I'm going to go alone."
"His Majesty!!!"
In response to the two demigods' concerns, Morn simply turned around and smiled at them:
"Believe me."
No words could be as convincing as Moon's confidence at this moment.
It's just a baseless statement.
But it really made the two demigods stop in their tracks.
Because looking at Moon like this, they always felt that their master might be about to create a miracle.
Seeing that they really stopped, Moon spurred his horse forward.
Watching Moon getting closer.
The soldiers on the opposite side almost saw who was coming.
The one who came was not an envoy in charge of negotiations, but Trajan Westeros!
The nobles and officers hurriedly urged the soldiers to prepare for battle:
"Load, load!"
The soldiers began to load their rifles in unison, but for some reason, the actions that they had repeated millions of times and had almost become muscle memory now showed varying degrees of delay and mistakes.
They didn't know whether they were going to shoot Trajan.
They are the generation that grew up thanks to this man.
The land at home, the hospital when you are sick, the school to teach your children.
There are so many things that this person left for them.
The nobles were sweating profusely and the officers were at a loss.
He could only subconsciously urge the soldiers to take their positions.
"Raise the muzzle of the gun, no, aim it at him, aim it at him!"
What is this monster doing?!
He was clearly just one person, but he brought tremendous pressure to hundreds of thousands of people on the other side.
At this moment, Trajan was like a god!
At the foot of the hill, Moon finally stopped.
This made almost everyone feel relieved.
But then people saw Moon getting off his horse.
Then continue walking forward.
What is he going to do? !
Such an abnormal behavior even made Prince Adela, who had already left, stop.
He asked the pure white knights beside him in confusion:
"Is that some new tactic?"
Every pure white knight shook his head solemnly.
They also couldn't understand Trajan's actions.
This made Adela look strange.
Wouldn’t it be that my father and I chose an idiot?
Looking at Trajan, who was only a hundred meters away from him and others.
The nobles subconsciously hid behind the military formation.
The pressure this person brought to them was too great.
The soldiers also slowly raised their guns under the command of the officers.
It can be said that the war is about to break out.
Finally, Moon stopped.
He looked at the young soldiers whose faces he could already see clearly and nodded.
He took off his hat so that people could more easily see who he was.
At this moment, Moon felt as if his chest was spewing fire with endless passion.
Moon knew exactly what he wanted to do, and he was sure that he would succeed!
He opened his arms and shouted loudly to the army on the hillside:
"Baratheon!"
Countless soldiers were shaking, and the entire army began to rise and fall like wheat in the wind.
And Moon kept moving forward.
The army was shaking more and more.
"Shoot, shoot!"
Seeing Trajan approaching, some nobles ignored everything and asked the soldiers to open fire.
But the funny thing is that even though he had the muzzle of the gun pointed at the soldier's forehead, he himself didn't dare to be the first to shoot.
Almost everyone knew that at this time, as long as one person fired a gun.
I'm afraid the situation will explode completely.
However, no one fired the first shot.
The reasons include fear, confusion, and deep-seated resistance.
He was the only great man who treated them as human beings. Even the Queen who came later was just a successor to his will.
At this moment, Moon had already walked to the front of the soldier.
Looking at the faces of these soldiers, Moen smiled and said:
"Baratheon soldiers, do you still recognize me?"
Some soldiers lowered their spears slightly as they looked at Moon who was so close.
"Shoot, shoot! Kill him, kill him!"
The noble was almost going crazy, but he only dared to shout at the soldiers beside him.
He wanted to raise his gun towards the man, but he didn't have the courage, not even to look over.
The haze of that year seems to have just happened yesterday.
At this extremely tense moment, Moon once again did something that was beyond everyone's expectations.
He turned his back to everyone:
"If you want to kill your emperor, shoot him!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place fell into deathly silence.
The howling gale that had been sweeping through the valley before now completely stopped.
Only Moon's words continued to echo in the valley.
If you want to kill your emperor, do it!
Finally, the silence that was almost depressing to the point of driving people crazy was broken.
What rang out was not gunfire, but cheers:
"Long live the emperor!!!"
The sound was not loud, but it ignited the entire valley.
Under the cheers and leadership of someone unknown, all the Baratheon soldiers laid down their weapons and began to cheer:
"Long live the emperor!!!"
"Long live the emperor!!!"
"Long live the emperor!!!"
They cheered, leaped for joy, and rushed towards the great emperor.
For thousands of years, this person is the only one in this country who treats civilians and even the poor as human beings.
Twenty years will not erase his achievements, but will make people miss his existence and greatness even more.
Because he is Trajan!
Such a scene not only exceeded the nobles' expectations, it exceeded everyone's expectations.
Looking at the soldiers cheering and rushing forward, Nelson asked his adjutant in surprise:
"Aren't the only people in the front ours?"
The adjutant also shook his head in confusion.
Moreover, with such a huge force, even if they distribute their manpower as much as possible, they will still be stretched to the limit.
But now, why is everyone like this???
On the other side of the mountain, the soldiers from the southern border were also briefly surprised, but they finally reacted and cheered as they moved forward:
"Long live the emperor!!!"
"Long live the emperor!!!"
"Long live the emperor!!!"
The two groups that were supposed to be mortal enemies came together.
It's not for fighting, but for a common dream.
For the fantasy that has come true!
Prince Adela was deeply shocked.
He even asked the pure white knight next to him:
"That guy, is he from the same background as my mother?"
The Pure White Knight shook his head in astonishment.
This is incredible.
It's not the power of charm, but it achieves the same effect.
No, this is even stronger than charm.
-
When the news reached the imperial capital.
Major newspapers have begun to make efforts again.
They dared not to tell everything, they only dared to continue to slander each other's identity.
While countless nobles curled up in their quilts, many newsboys were shouting and throwing newspapers in the streets and alleys of the imperial capital:
"The despicable thief who stole the country entered Tingen!"
After thinking about it, I decided not to separate it. This chapter should be a long chapter.
(End of this chapter)
