After Becoming The Tyrant

Before meeting the professionals the Duke of Buckingham had brought for the king, the king met with another man.

That was General Edmund of Angor.

This time the king's plan was able to be completed so smoothly, and Angor State played a vital role in it.After the coronation was completed, they received the king's order and carried out a sweep in the city of Metzl, completely eliminating the remaining confidantes and private soldiers of Grand Duke Grice.

Of course, there is no good meal in this world for no reason.

The Angor people are willing to make such a big effort to put down the rebellion, and naturally it will not be out of loyalty.

The king reached a cooperation with Angel.

"Thank you for the blessing of the Holy Lord, I have been lucky enough to fulfill your orders, Your Majesty."

General Edmund saluted the king humbly, he still hesitated at this moment.

Because it was time to test the result of their Angorian gamble.

"It is I who should say thanks, sir."

The young king was holding a thick book in his hand. General Edmund glanced at it when he entered, and found that it was a manuscript about theology and legend.The king closed the heavy and yellowed book and said gently to General Edmund.

However, General Edmund had seen how the king smiled and dealt with a group of nobles softly, so he didn't dare to take the king's gentleness seriously.

In fact, he was even more nervous.

"Don't be nervous, general." The king saw his mood and said briskly, "You and your soldiers have done a great job this time, maybe you are willing to bring back a beautiful iron flower to the mountains of Ingres." Qiangwei? May the friendship between the Qiangwei family and the Leverin family last forever."

Hearing what the king said, the stone in General Edmund's heart was finally let go.

He gave a happy smile.

The day before yesterday, before the new royal party got a piece of paper that needed to fill in the amount by themselves, the royalists wearing the iron rose were exempted from the inheritance tax they had to pay before, and each received other different rewards. Finally, the king personally paid for them A new Iron Rose was awarded.

Now, the king said so, which means that he intends to fulfill his promise.

"see this."

The king picked up a treaty that had already been drawn up from the desk beside him and handed it to General Edmund.

General Edmund took it with both hands, and flipped through it quickly, the smile on his face couldn't help getting bigger and bigger.

The king observed his reaction, and had a clearer judgment on Angel's current situation in his heart - it looked worse than he expected.

"A year's tariffs in Angor cannot buy a button on the sleeve of King Legrand", this sentence is a joke to others, but it is a deep scar to Angor.

Because they are really poor.

This situation became more and more serious especially after the adoption of the criminal law that lowered the Anger nationality in 1134.The natural conditions of the Angerdo mountains and swamps inherently limited their agricultural development, and after the criminal law was passed in 1134, Anger not only had a low status, but also lost the qualification to trade with the Legrand border.

The border markets were all evacuated and replaced by military defense castles. The Legrand royal family pulled up an invisible but real long blockade line on the border of Angor.

They were trapped among the mountains.

For 300 years, the Angles have been trying to break out of this blockade by force. However, under the harsh natural conditions, the population density of Angles is extremely low. Even if they win a temporary victory with their military bravery, they will soon was forced to retreat. 300 years is enough time for something to become a habit.

For example, people subconsciously reject and belittle the Angorians.

They were considered barbarians.

This time, King Angor sent General Edmund, who knew Legrand's etiquette, for this reason.He tries to show people:

Angor is not a stubborn place.

The king took the bait at Angel's sore spot.

He learned something about Angor from his memory.

Over the past few years, Angor's rebellion still exists, but during armed conflicts, their massacres of villages have been greatly reduced, and their treatment of prisoners of war is not as direct as in the past, but they choose to conduct a redemption transaction with Legrand.This is actually a signal shown by Angel.

They are seeking readmission into civilized society.

But before that, the Legrands didn't care about these things at all.

The king is willing to give the Angles this opportunity.

If Ingres sent elite soldiers to help the king put down the rebellion, the commercial gates of the frontier would be reopened to the Angles, and Angles' forests could appear in the market again, and at the same time they could fight against the king in 1134. criminal law to be renegotiated.

"...The 36 kingdoms of Legrand are all one. Under the glory of the Holy Lord, although the people of Legrand have disputes, they are like brothers..."

These are the exact words of the king's letter.

When necessary, the king does not mind doing something beneficial to himself in the name of the Holy Lord.

The knight commander in charge of delivering the letter is undoubtedly a strong proof. He is a member of the Angor royal family, but the king accepted him and appointed him as his extremely important oath knight commander.

King Angor hesitated for a long time, and finally looked at the oath knight commander, and made up his mind to join this gamble.

Here I must thank Grand Duke Grace again.

——In the past few decades, in order to earn a good reputation, his attitude towards the Angles is notoriously tough.

The king now thinks that Grand Duke Grace is very amiable, look at how much he has helped him unconsciously.

Seeing the figure of General Edmund leaving happily, the king thoughtfully summoned his oath knight commander.

After some questioning, the king confirmed his guess.

Angor's situation this year is indeed terrible. They encountered a terrible cold... If the king hadn't sent that letter, then they might have to take the initiative to bow to the Legrand royal family in the end.

"A natural disaster."

The king seemed to say something in pity.

He knew what to do next.

........................

Before General Edmund left Metzl with the agreement, he left half of the soldiers for the king to show Angel's sincerity.

Not long after he left, the king met the man he wanted to see.

A Templar commander from the Qiangwei family—of course, in the past tense.

The former head of the Templar Knights left the Holy Court three years ago under the name of "while fighting for the Lord, he was seriously injured and hoped to die on the land of Legrand" and returned to Luo Grand.From the meaning of the Duke of Buckingham, it seems that he has been responsible for driving away the dark creatures around Metzl all these years.

"You don't look like you're dying."

The king looked at the former Templar Commander in front of him with great interest.

"Of course, Your Majesty." The former Templar seemed to have a good impression of the notorious king, he winked happily at the king, and replied, "You can't expect the members of the real Rose family to devote themselves to the Holy Court." Do your best and be loyal?"

"Then you must really hate Grand Duke Grace?"

the king asked with a smile.

"If the idiot who wags his tail at the Holy Court wins in the end, then even if he violates the law, I will chop off his head and throw it into the abyss."

The former Templar Captain replied, he stood up straight, and the murderous intent in his tone showed that this was not a flattery, but a belief he insisted on.

The king understood a little.

It seems that the enmity between the Qiangwei family and the Holy Court did not start from Purlan, but has a long history.

"What is breaking the law?"

the king asked calmly.

"Hmm..." The former Templar Chief showed a hesitant look, "Please forgive my concealment, Your Majesty. Due to some restrictions, I can't explain it to you in detail, but I can tell you, like us, like those dark creatures None of them can appear on the ordinary battlefield in a fair manner."

The king pressed his fingertips together, remembering that he asked the devil that day and got a similar answer.

There is still something restricting in this world.

"Then, let's talk about the main topic..." The king temporarily suppressed some speculations, "How to deal with a powerful devil?"

"May I know the name of that devil?" asked the former Templar, before he added, "Sorry, no doubt I'm a prying eye, but in the dark law a name itself signifies a power. Not himself The name he claims, but the name he presents on the deed, cannot be hidden."

The king was silent for a while.

"A devil's name is hidden in the contract, why?"

The former Templar was also silent for a while, choosing his words carefully: "I can only think of one possibility, because he is old enough that even the name itself is taboo."

Even the name itself is taboo?

The king thought about what the devil looked like in front of him, and some couldn't connect this statement with that guy.

"Is that beyond what you can handle?"

"It's hard to deal with." The former Templar Commander replied frankly, but he changed the topic, "However, Your Majesty, we are now in the Rose Palace. The descendants of the dragon slayers are the real masters here."

"Descendants of the Dragon Slayer?"

The king raised his eyebrows slightly.

"I always thought it was just a legend."

"No, Your Majesty." The former Templar stood up, "Please see..."

He walked up to the pillars in the room and smeared them one by one with his own blood.As the blood seeped into the embossed columns, the king began to hear a sound--gradually a strong draft swirled through the room, and there was an ancient loud sound in it.

The king stood up and saw that the reliefs seemed to turn into twirling rose vines.

The legend of the origin of the Rose family came to the king's mind.

The people who slayed the dragon, they established their kingdom in the place where the dragon was buried.

The place where the dragon is buried, the Rose Palace that is the heart of Legrand... the heart...

The answer is about to come out.

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

The ex-Chief Templar stood in the very center of the room, blood on his hands, but he didn't care.Every column in the room was stained with blood.

He rose to his full height, and proudly opened his arms for the king to witness what could be called a miracle.

In the king's vision, the pillars and beams of the room have changed.It is no longer a cold rock, but a dense, huge bone.

"This is the heart of the dragon! This is not a legend! Your Majesty!"

It was as if there was a giant dragon's panting across thousands of years, and the king's robe rattled violently in the strong flowing air.

Ancient legends are intertwined with real history at this moment, and a family stands proudly in the torrent of time.The group marked by the rose, they built Legrand on the bones of the dragon.

This is a family that is as arrogant and fearless as a lunatic.

After they slayed the dragon, they built a mortal palace in its heart!

"This is glory!"

"The glory of the Qiangwei family!"
