Chapter 2 Chapter 2 The King of Bath

The strange sound of the horn blew in the ancient demon temple in the Dark Earth Continent. This special horn was made of the unicorn of the ancient horned dragon. It has a long history and has been enshrined in the demon temple. The horn can It produces special sound waves, and all the devils in the dark earth continent can sense the sound waves. Not long after the horn sounded, the demons chasing the civilians in the Milky Way stopped their footsteps, stopped their killing, and began to retreat to the Dark Earth. The tall demons in black were like a raging black wave. The tide comes and goes quickly.

At the border fortress of Haitu Country, the soldiers who had already prepared all kinds of heavy weapons and planned to have a fierce battle with the devil were stunned when they saw this scene, and they were very worried while being surprised. Wars can be avoided, and even soldiers don't like wars; the worry is that this situation may only be temporary, and the demons may harbor bigger plots and sharper attacks later. But what is surprising is that the retreat of the demons was not a temporary buffer, but continued until the frontier defenders lost the tall black figures, and the demons could no longer be seen from the frontier. The distance people have retreated is unimaginably far, and they may have even retreated to the Dark Earth Continent.

The news quickly spread from the sea chart frontier to many countries in the interior of the Milky Way Continent. When the countries of the Milky Way Continent are facing the invasion of the demons from the Dark Earth Continent, all countries spare no effort to cooperate in order to protect themselves, especially in the dissemination of information, even spending a lot of spar, sending special magicians to keep the magic crystal The magic power is abundant, making the magic transmission extremely fast. Qianji Kingdom, the royal palace. King Bath's face was a bit gloomy, but he was not easy to get angry when facing Cadman.

Cadman performed the highest etiquette and knelt down on one knee. In fact, he had already received the honor more than ten years ago, and he did not need such a grand salute when facing the king. But today, he knelt down on one knee to salute, which made the atmosphere between the monarch and his ministers a bit awkward. Time seemed to stand still. It wasn't until the news of the devil's retreat was sent by the magicians in charge of magic communication in the Star Picking Tower, and King Bath saw it with his own eyes, that the dull atmosphere was interrupted by King Bath's loud laughter.

"Old Marshal, the devil is in the army, the situation is not as bad as you said just now... I don't like what you said just now, but I have the right to pretend that I didn't hear it, so I won't pursue it!" King Bass waved the battle report in his hand and said. When Cadman and King Bass were talking just now, there were some differences of opinion between them. Cadman's attitude towards Susan and the others is due to his 100% loyalty. He must maintain the reputation of His Majesty the King in front of other people and even his own family. As a subject who spared his life to serve the country, Cadman felt that he had the responsibility to remind His Majesty the king a little bit when encountering some things.

But this slight reminder, even if it is very cryptic, is a topic that King Bath doesn't like, and it will be regarded as a taboo topic by him, naturally only the matter of Prince Sullenby. In fact, Cadman didn't say anything, and he didn't intercede for Sophia, and he didn't even mention Sophia. He knew that if Sophia was mentioned, the King of Bath might not give him face, but would hurt Sophia. , Let King Bath know Sophia's whereabouts. Of course, Cadman did not hide King Bath's thoughts, but felt that it was not appropriate to mention it now. If there is an opportunity in the future, he would naturally tell King Bath truthfully.

What he mentioned was that he hoped that the king of Bath would put state affairs first. When this disaster happened, he would not make a big mistake because of a small loss. Unnecessary things would shake the foundation of the country and cause turmoil. But King Bath didn't like Cadman's statement very much. What is Prince Sullenby?What turmoil can it cause?Not to mention shaking the foundation of the country! To be honest, King Bath has always been extremely jealous of his brother even though he succeeded in winning the throne!Prince Su Lunbi, as Paul had predicted before, he has been planning to move Su Lunbi for a long time.

Now that the plan is successful, Su Lunbi's treason charges have been planted and confirmed, and he has been arrested and secretly detained in the imperial capital. The next thing King Bass wants to do is to issue a legal ban on all speeches about Prince Su Lunbi, which naturally includes The old poems and ballads about the abdication of the Prince of Sullomby to the King of Bath. But even if Cadman's words displeased King Bath, he knew Cadman's loyalty and could not target Cadman. Now it's all right. When the battle report came, the demon retreated to the Dark Earth Continent, probably for a short time. There will be no more attacks within the time, even if the devil brews a fatal attack, it will take time.

In this way, there will be no crisis moments that may cause turmoil and other issues, and Cadman can no longer make any remarks on this matter. "Old Marshal, our Milky Way Continent is blessed and protected by the New God, and those demons have retreated timidly! In time, the coalition forces of our Galaxy Continent may invade the Dark Earth Continent, as the New God said, and wipe out the dark land. All evil heretics!" King Bath said energetically, also deliberately changing the subject. Although Cadman is straightforward, but he has been immersed in the political arena for many years, how could he fail to understand the meaning of King Bath?He couldn't help but secretly sighed, but he couldn't say anything further. Since he already knew that King Bath would never let Prince Sorumby go this time, talking too much would only arouse His Majesty's suspicion.

"All blessings, Your Majesty, all blessings to our galaxy continent! Those evil heresies will be wiped out sooner or later..." Cadman said respectfully. King Bass smiled, and said in a low voice: "At that time, Qianji Nation will rely on the Iverson family again...Old Marshal, I hope to see you once again unabated on the battlefield, and help us expand Qianji Nation territory!" "The Iverson family is always at His Majesty's disposal!" Cadman said. When the devil is no longer a threat to the Milky Way Continent, the flames of war will soon be ignited in the Galaxy Continent, and the original Milky Way Continent will be added with a Dark Earth Continent. Crazy expansion of the territory - this is inevitable, even Cadman takes it for granted.

King Bass was very satisfied with Cadman's attitude, and said: "Old Marshal, if you have nothing to do, you can go back first. I hope that the Iverson family will stand on the side of the royal power as always, and don't worry about some trivial matters." The meaning was quite obvious, Cadman could only bow and salute, then turned and retreated. King Bath watched Cadman's back disappear, his thin lips were tightly closed, he raised his hand, and a thin soldier in uniform stepped out from behind a screen next to him. "Are you sure Sophia and Susan are together?" King Bath asked coldly. "Your Majesty, I'm sure! Sophia was captured by the Imperial Guards in Spit, but those Imperial Guards lost contact strangely. It must have been ominous! But Sophia has a magic mark marked by the Imperial Guards. We use Magic tracking found her location..." said the officer. King Bass snorted coldly and said, "Cadman! He didn't mention it to me! What is he trying to do?" "Your Majesty, before the imperial guards lost contact with me, they reported to me that they would escort Sophia back through the Dali family's chamber of commerce, but they disappeared after entering the Dali family's chamber of commerce in Spit... Something is a little strange, among them The Dari family..." "Oso, just say what you want!" King Bath interrupted the officer and shouted in a deep voice. As the King of Bath's confidant and the commander of the Royal Guards, Orso has always been the sharp blade hidden in the dark by the King of Bath. Many things of the King of Bath are handled by Orso, and he has always won The trust of the King of Bath. Compared with those families in the empire, those families have a long history and allegiance to the Thousand Machines Nation, but Orso was single-handedly promoted by the King of Bath, and he is directly loyal to the King of Bath, and only works for the King of Bath. Well, King Bath naturally understood. "Your Majesty, although the three major families are the rocks of the country, don't you think they are too stubborn? I don't think the empire needs rocks. What it needs is a group of absolutely loyal subjects who unconditionally obey any of your wishes. That's what your majesty wants." Qianji Kingdom! Prince Su Lunbi has been taken into custody, so shall we take this opportunity to do more?" Orso's expression was cold and sinister, as if he didn't care how much blood and blood would be caused by his words. This is what King Bath likes. He is cold-blooded and ruthless, and is just a tool to carry out the king's orders! But at this moment, King Bath still yelled angrily: "Oso, don't you think too much!" Orso was expressionless, and said: "Oso is only for His Majesty's consideration. If His Majesty thinks this is a humble opinion, there is no need to adopt it. If His Majesty thinks that Orso has exceeded his authority, he can kill Orso at any time. Orso's life belongs to His Majesty! " The King of Bath laughed, and said in a cold voice: "Do you think the three major families are so easy to attack? Huh... I think there must be many kings in Bath who wanted to touch the three major families, but you know the three major families Why is the family still as stable as a rock? Tell you, it is scruples! The king has scruples about the three major families, but the three families have grown up with each other in the scruples, and their strength has become stronger and stronger. Although the royal power is great, it cannot withstand too much turmoil Leaving aside the huge impact caused by the three major families, the fact that the Iverson family owns the Dragon Knight and the heads of the Proda family's many civil servants will affect the opinions of those scholars, and the relationship between the Dali family and the elves Shallow, don't you know?" When King Bass said this, he raised his eyebrows and said in surprise, "Oso, you are not a reckless person. You suddenly said these words, don't tell me..." Orso bowed and knelt on the ground slowly. This kind of etiquette was more solemn than Cadman's before. It was an etiquette that truly contributed his life, dignity, and everything unconditionally. "Your Majesty, please forgive Orso's concealment..." Orso said in a low voice. King Bath asked anxiously, "What's going on?" Orso didn't speak, his body suddenly burst into golden light, and the golden light formed a projection beside Orso, and a clear figure appeared, but his face was extremely blurred. King Bath's complexion changed drastically, but he found that he had lost the ability to move in an instant, and could not even shout loudly, while the court servants around were indifferent as if they hadn't seen this scene. "Your Majesty Bath, please don't be too nervous, I am not hostile." An indistinguishable male and female voice appeared. Such a voice should have been harsh, but it was low-pitched, like a clear spring flowing out, giving the voice an indescribable magnetism. King Bass calmed down, not only because of his trust in Orso, but also because he now knows that this light and shadow is unimaginably powerful and can take his life in an instant. If the other party is really hostile to him Come, then he has died many times. King Bath is worthy of being a generation of emperors. Facing an unknown and powerful object, he quickly suppressed his emotions and became calm, neither humble nor overbearing. "Who are you? How did this happen? What did you do to Orso?" said King Bath. Ao Suo hurriedly said from the side: "Your Majesty, I'm fine, please stay calm, everything you expect will come true, Qianji Kingdom will be an empire belonging to His Majesty alone!" King Bass glanced at Orso, smiled and said, "Being able to make Orso say such things, I am interested in your background." "Your Majesty Bass, just as Orso said, the Thousand Machines Kingdom will be your empire alone. Do you think... this proposal is good?" Said the shadow. King Bass was stunned, and laughed: "The Thousand Machines Kingdom has stood on the mainland for thousands of years, and it will reach its peak in my hands. In the future, my descendants will guide the Thousand Machines Kingdom to a brighter future. road to glory!" "You obviously didn't catch me, I mean, you alone!" Light and shadow interrupted King Bath's words. King Bass looked at the light and shadow in surprise, he was really confused. "One person means that you have been leading Qianji Kingdom! There is only one king in Qianji Kingdom, and it will always be you!" Light and Shadow said. King Bass snorted coldly and said: "Are you joking? Are you cursing that the Thousand Machines Kingdom will be destroyed by my hands? I don't care what existence you are. Such rebellious remarks are enough for me to use the power of the whole country to kill you. you!" The voice of Guangying was still so calm, and said: "You still don't understand? Since you are so sure that Qianji Kingdom will stand forever, then what I mean by 'always under your leadership' means...you also Will live forever. Alas, your wisdom disappoints me!" King Bath only felt a bang in his mind, unable to think. It's not that he doesn't understand, but that he didn't think about it at all, because this is simply a fantasy, something that can't be realized, and he wouldn't even think about it. He faintly noticed something, a kind of ecstasy swept his heart, but he tried his best to calm his expression, and said, "I want to hear..." "The new gods from all over the world, the youngest ones are all over eight hundred years old, you know that, right?" "What do you want to say?" King Bath's tone trembled uncontrollably. "I want to tell you that they became gods because of me. I gave them godheads, powerful divine power, and immortal life!" "you you……" "Your Majesty Bath, do you want all of this?" "..." "Don't let the opportunity pass you by, my child, I ask you, do you want it all?" "You...why should I trust you?" King Bath's expression was extremely complicated, and his fingers trembled a little. "Want all this!" Suddenly there was an irresistible majesty in the voice, and the light and shadow bloomed with a powerful and unparalleled coercion. King Bath's legs went limp, and he knelt on the ground with a plop, his lips trembling, and he shouted loudly with all his strength: "I want to!" "My child, surrender your faith, and you will become my favored darling. I will bestow you with powerful divine power and endless life, and you will also become a member of God..." The light shrouded King Bath, and a lot of information flooded into King Bath's mind. His body trembled in the light, and finally stopped slowly. His eyes became more pale golden, and powerful confidence appeared in them , the King of Bath, who was over half a hundred years old, was suddenly rejuvenated and radiant, like a young man in his thirties. "Father God, thank you for your gift. I will dedicate all my beliefs. The people of Qianji Kingdom will only believe in you. In the future, humans on the entire continent will also become believers in you! Your child, I, Bass Kandal, will fight for this!" King Bath said slowly. The light disappeared, and the figure also disappeared. Orso hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation..." "Why do you need to explain? Orso, you have done something that satisfies me. I never thought that you would be chosen by God the Father to be a messenger between us. What is even more surprising is that I was favored by God the Father! " King Bath said: "But what happened today is a secret! Do you understand? The best way to keep a secret is to make everyone who knows it dead!" Orso turned pale and looked at Bass, trembling all over. King Bass laughed and said, "But I don't want to choose this way. I need the most caring and capable subordinate, and the candidate is you!" Orso was relieved, and with a grateful face, he knelt on the ground and made another speech of allegiance to the King of Bath. The King of Bath laughed loudly, and the laughter filled the huge palace. "Oso, tell me, which of the three major families is the weakest?" King Bath stopped laughing and asked lightly. "The Proda family! Although they are respected by scholars and can influence the public opinion of imperial scholars, you know that public opinion is the most unstable thing. When those scholars face death, they will not be full of truth. The one who likes to stand out is Those people are the ones who are most afraid of death! Even if there are some hard bones, their bones are not as hard as steel knives!" Orso said. "You're right. The Proda family probably knows this too. Otherwise...they wouldn't have tried their best to infiltrate the military over the years." King Bath said: "However, some things that can be avoided must be avoided! I don't want the three major families to disappear. What I want is a family with an ancient history and a family that is absolutely loyal to me, not to Qianji Kingdom." family!" "Your Majesty, I understand what you mean." Orso duly displayed his shrewdness, and was applauded by the King of Bath. "Then let's find out who to choose." King Bath said lightly. "Your Majesty, the Iverson family is united, and the Dali family is sparsely populated. These two families need to spend some more time, but there are some minor problems in the Proda family. I have recently reported from the eyes and ears of the Proda family. The information gave Wei Chen some small surprises." Orso said. "Oh? Tell me about it." said King Bath. "Your Majesty, the Proda family's plan to infiltrate the military has been stymied by the Iverson family. I'm afraid they have changed their strategy. They want to cultivate a loyal Proda family with some ability and be recognized by the military. The current candidate is Mocha, who has recently served as the deputy chief of the city defense army, the demigod of the empire, the one who was awarded the title by you personally back then." When Orso said this, he looked at King Bass. King Bath waved his hand and said, "I remember this person, let's continue." "Mocha is an ambitious guy, Your Majesty. According to the information I have obtained, this judgment is correct! And there is no doubt about his ability. Most importantly, I believe he is a smart person who knows how to choose... Also, He has a lot of grudges with the Iverson family, choosing him, I believe it will be the beginning of a perfect plan!" Orso said respectfully. King Bath thought for a while and said: "He is an interesting guy. I hope he is like what you said, but it's nothing. I just have good expectations. If this expectation cannot be achieved, then it will be destroyed! Today's My choice is only out of the kindness of a king, and I don’t want the people to suffer uneasy turmoil, but for the future, some people’s sacrifices are worth it!” The cold murderous aura radiated from King Bath's body, causing Orso to shiver suddenly, and looked at King Bath in awe. "Do as you say, I will leave it to you to handle it!" King Bath said coldly. Orso hastily saluted and said, "Your Majesty, as you wish, Orso will express his loyalty to you with his life!" "Well, let's go!" King Bath waved his hand, got up and walked slowly away from the hall. What he experienced today was too unimaginable and shocking. He also needed time to digest, digest the ecstasy in his heart, and digest the super divine power he had obtained. The hall fell into silence, but with the hall as the center, countless crises spread away like ripples...
