Chapter 380: Undercurrent of the Imperial Capital
Dota Continent, Imperial Capital, Black Mountain.△↗,
In the early morning, a golden sun appeared in the dark clouds. This was not a day that was sunny and could make people feel refreshed. Just like the imperial capital today, the whole city was shrouded in an undispelled haze, and even the air in the morning seemed to smell a faint smell of blood. This often means that the irritable and irritable fear Emperor Durondal began to kill people again.
The imperial capital Montenegro is the heart of the entire empire. Any movement here can make the entire Dota Continent tremble. Although the empire is now shaking under internal and external troubles, no longer the glory and majesty of the past, as long as the empire is undestroyed iron wall, the unparalleled imperial marshal, and the great duke Retuss are still alive. Then, no matter the Emiro Millennium Empire on the banks of the Nile, the Sun Dynasty entrenched in the desert, or the Seven Towers Alliance of the Magic Kingdom, the Orc Tribe in the Red Wasteland, the Dark Elves in the Underworld, or even the Demon Legion of Hell Abyss, and the Scourge Legion composed of endless undead dare not easily set foot in the empire's territory. The Dragon Knights led by Retuss are still the most undisputed legion on the entire continent, no doubt.
However, just recently, a news that no one could ignore began to spread throughout the Dota Continent, Retuss, mysteriously disappeared.
At first, no one took this seriously. After all, there was almost no possibility of being assassinated by Retusus. It was not that no one or force had tried to erase the guardian god of the empire. However, any person or force who dared to fulfill this idea paid a heavy price for their stupidity and impulse. The overall national strength was already faintly above the empire. On his behalf, he served as the Sun King, and he barely calmed down his abdication with the blood of the twelve royal members.
The Dragon Knights' Wrath. The Millennium Empire of Emirates took nearly a hundred years and used the entire empire's human, material and financial resources to secretly form the secret legion of the Faceless Legion. It was silently wiped out when it was performing its first mission. Even except for the top figures of the Millennium Empire of Emirates, no one knew that this combat power might surpass the Dragon Knights Legion, and that it might have left a heavy mark in the long song of history.
Retuss is unstoppable, which has become a consensus among all people in the continent. All his enemies can only secretly hope that the imperial iron wall will die naturally and die. However, many people have been waiting for this whole life for a lifetime and have not been able to wait for this day. They don’t know how long his life span is now, and I’m afraid even the gods of the heavenly realm and the ancient dragon gods are.
However, such an unbeatable and unstoppable imperial military god disappeared.
It is not difficult to verify the authenticity of this news, as long as you are willing to pay enough price. The Millennium Empire and the Sun Dynasty, which have been waiting for many years, have pushed their ace legions to the border of the empire, and risked losing these legions to test the bottom line of the empire. As for the intelligence personnel who were ambushing the imperial capital, Black Mountain, they were even crazy trying to sneak into the headquarters of the Dragon Knights. As for the final answer, the entire continent trembled. Some people were excited, and even shed tears, and some were afraid and trembled. The huge state machines of the two human empires that were eyeing each other were running with all their might. If it weren't for the concern that Retuss might have just disappeared for a short time, he might have activated all the entire world.
In the face of war, the wilderness orc tribe and the underground dark council were also eyeing each other and ready to move. As for the Ku Bear Principality, which had been openly rebelling, it would not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and made shocking huge moves. For a moment, wars of all sizes swept across the entire empire. Although it had not been directly affected by the war, the Black Mountain, the imperial capital, which had been drunk every night, suddenly became much quieter. Those imperial nobles who thought they would live in the wine pond and meat forest all their lives suddenly realized that their happy days might end. This possibility that had never been imagined suddenly surged, causing many stupid guys to make an impulse to touch the bottom line of the terror Durondar, colluding with the enemy, stolen assets, and defected.
Therefore, the secret police and several major executioners families, who were already busy, are now even more busy. Even the underage sons in the executioners family held exquisite and elegant decapitation swords and walked up to the high platform in the square. However, the executioners family could not rest assured in front of this moody fear emperor. Just a few days ago, the most popular member of the executioners family, who had been the most popular in the entire empire, was attracted by fashion trends.
The leader, the flower of the imperial capital, occupied the largest beauty in the mainland who had been favored by the emperor for the longest time, and the Earl of Amanda Emilian Cristia Tabris von Hewwen, who was well-known to everyone, was arrested by the secret police force of the emperor and was invaded to the "Montenegro Royal Prison" with the same famous "Montenegro Royal Prison" served as the warden by the respected Marquis of Brahadley, and will be beheaded in public in the square of the capital a month later.
Although everyone knows that the emperor's favor cannot always be shrouded in a person, although everyone knows that after the mysterious giant demon beauty appeared beside the emperor, the former favorite minister would sooner or later be thrown into the cold palace, the sensation caused by this news was no less than the mysterious disappearance of the Imperial Marshal Retuss. No one cares about the reason why the imperial favor was thrown into prison, because the emperor did not need any reason to kill people. What people care about is the Earl Amanda, who was once, no, and perhaps still the number one beauty in the mainland,
What will his final outcome be? Some people have already offered sky-high prices on the black market, clamoring to buy the head of Count Amanda as a collectible. Of course, the price of the body is enough to make some ancient nobles who are rich in the world gasp for them. The figure behind the buyer even pointed directly at the two hostile empires. This pink news seems to have diluted the bloody and uneasy atmosphere shrouded in the imperial capital. However, only some wise figures who really pay attention to the every move of the empire will seriously figure out what truth was hidden after these major events that shocked the Dota Continent.
The towering capital airport welcomes the first balloon airship to the port today. It is a dual-purpose airship for passengers and cargo. Empire Airport welcomes hundreds of such airships every day. No one will pay too much attention to what kind of cargo will be shipped and what kind of guests will be carried on this airship.
After the airship was docked safely, the dock workers rushed up to unload the heavy bags of goods. As soon as the goods were on their shoulders, these coolies frowned. Even the relatively strong orcs and dwarfs were moaning and complaining about the weight of the goods. But under the urging of the whip, even if the goods were heavy, they did not have the right to refuse to work. Whether they could eat breakfast and whether black-skinned bread crumbs would appear in the breakfast depends on their work performance. At least half of them did not have the right to enjoy breakfast, even if the value of the breakfast was not as good as a snack for a lower-level noble watchdog.
As usual, there are inspectors arranged by the Imperial Capital Military Department on the dock, responsible for checking the prohibited smuggled items and checking the identities of the people coming and going. These sleepy and yawning officials do not care about what is contained in these big and small bags. They only care about how heavy the wallet is stuffed into their hands.
This time, the filial piety obviously satisfied several supervisors. They didn't even go to the symbolic inspection process, but just looked at the passengers walking down the cabin with their sleepy eyes to see if there was any fat sheep that could make them make another move. The people walking down the boat were basically merchants with certain family backgrounds. The reason was very simple. The poor people could not afford this new type of transportation, while the nobles disdained to ride this type of airship that used both passengers and cargo. They had their own exclusive transportation. Those beautifully decorated carriages may not be as comfortable as airships or as fast as airships, but they carried the glory of the nobles and their dignity and pride.
Because of this, in the eyes of these customs inspectors, these merchants were lambs waiting to be slaughtered, almost every one could cut off the fat piece of meat with a knife. They quickly chose the first target today. In fact, this was very natural, because the passenger had just walked out of the cabin and became the focus of everyone nearby. Even the hardworkers at the docks did not care about the whips and scoldings on their bodies, and focused their attention on the lady who was walking out of the cabin. However, they did not get too many whips, because the supervisors soon became the same as them.
She was a graceful and luxurious beauty. Her appearance was as exquisite as the priceless oriental white jade porcelain, and beautiful as the heroine who came out of the masterpieces of a great painter. Her temperament was noble and she could not find any flaws in every move. She was comparable to the ancient nobles who had been trained since childhood. However, although the gorgeous dresses she wore were comparable to the clothes of the daughter of the top aristocratic mistress, in the eyes of these vicious customs inspectors, it was obvious at a glance that there was no special sign that implying the identity of aristocratic. In the laws of the empire, only real nobles could use certain patterns and styles of clothing. Without a noble identity, even if she had wealth that was better than aristocratic, wearing aristocratic clothes without authorization would be a death sentence.
