After Becoming The Tyrant

The head of internal affairs hurried into the king's study with the secret letter sent back from the southeast, and he was slightly taken aback after entering.

The king stood with his back to him, standing in front of the glass window with a hollow rose pattern, the sunlight outlined his outline brightly, and also stretched his shadow very, very long.

The Chief of Internal Affairs' raised feet hung in mid-air, and he stopped breathing for a moment.

"Hawkins' letter? Bring it here."

The king ordered without turning around.

The steward walked a little more lightly than before, and he presented the letter to the king.

The king opened the letter.

The letter was scrawled and crooked, not from the professorial first mate Charles, but from the inarticulate Captain Hawkins.

In the letter, there was only one sentence:

A customs blockade has already begun.

The steward of housekeeping waited for a while, receiving no other orders, so he quietly withdrew.

"It's your turn, Mr. Devil."

The king closed the letter and said calmly.

"Hell works for you."

A tidal black mist surged in the room, and the devil walked out of the sticky darkness wearing a black suit as usual.He looked about the same as usual, with rich and perfect clothes and a masked smile on his face.

"I hope your lies will not appear in this operation." The king didn't look back, he seemed to be thinking about something, "how long?"

"The plague is coming."

"It's not a plague." The king turned around, his icy blue eyes were silent, "I'm asking how long it will be before the law expires."

The devil's smile froze on his face, and his pupils shrank slightly.

The king looked at him calmly.

"Ah, what are you talking about?" The devil soon smiled again, and he bowed to the king. "The law has always been there."

"The Holy Court began to interfere in the war, and hell intervened in the Black Death." The king said unhurriedly, "Why didn't either of you show your traces so directly before? Because at that time, the taboo laws stretched across the world, binding Your strength is stronger. Now, both Hell and Holy Court are active. Why?"

The devil didn't answer.

The king himself answered.

"Because you know that the law will come to an end soon, and the world will once again become a battleground between darkness and light, right?"

The king asked softly, but his tone was full of mockery.

The devil was silent for a moment, then raised his hand to applaud the king.

"You're too perceptive, Your Majesty," said the Devil, smiling. "That's not a good thing. When did you start thinking like that?"

"Ghost ship."

The king answered simply.

The devil suddenly realized: "Have you started talking like that since then?"

"How many years are left in 1000 years?" The king did not answer the devil's question, "What does the Millennium Kingdom mean?"

"What does the Millennium Kingdom mean?" The devil laughed, and he leaned down again, "It means the return of a great existence."

The great being returns.

The king chewed on the devil's words.

"People from the holy court are trying to kill me." The devil kept leaning over, and the king knew that he couldn't get more information on this issue, so he turned to ask what happened at night, "Maybe I should send you a message An Iron Rose? Mister Devil."

"I am really flattered by this, my lord." The devil straightened up, "You actually face up to my loyalty to you."

"What are their identities?"

The king ignored the complaint in the devil's words.

"The adjudicators of the Holy Court, or you can call them the puppets of the gods—or the servants of the gods." After the devil answered, he realized something was wrong, he looked at the king for a while, and pressed his forehead, "You are too cunning! You don't even remember what happened that night."

The king didn't show a smile on his face today, he said lightly:

"Now, let's talk."

"About the nightmare that will be forgotten by me, about the servant of God."

………………

Kossoya, the former headquarters of the Five-Port Alliance.

The rose badge of the royal family replaced the original badge of the Cinque Port Alliance, and this place has become the headquarters of the "Free Chamber of Commerce" under the control of the king.

Mrs. Venomous Spider and Chief Dawson stood on the tower, overlooking the streets of the port city below from a height.

"I finally know why His Majesty has made such a strict requirement that all chambers of commerce must register in a unified way." Mrs. Poisonous Spider said quietly.

"Who would have thought."

Patriarch Dawson also sighed.

They worked desperately to complete the formation of the Free Chamber of Commerce a few days ago.The Pangran Chamber of Commerce established by the royal family has never been stricter in its investigations.Ships in all ports and sailors and crew members of all chambers of commerce must be registered in a unified register, and finally aggregated to the headquarters of the free chamber of commerce.

Originally, they still didn't understand why it was so strict.

until today.

The king's writ was announced by the mayor himself: the Black Death on the other side of the Abyss Strait has spread to the port city that has commercial relations with Legrand. In order to prevent the spread of the Black Death, the southeast sea area has officially entered a state of blockade from today.All ships are not allowed to go to sea, and all ships are not allowed to enter the port again.

Based on the "Southeast Port Ship Register" completed a few days ago, from today onwards, all ships will be compiled in accordance with the register, and every twenty ships will form a group, and each group will elect a general person in charge. The city government formed a patrol team.Each group of ships has to check the number of ships and the number of personnel every day.

Once a ship is missing or a sailor disappears, all members of the crew will be severely punished.

Anyone who goes to sea without permission will be directly executed.

Anyone who tried to help those who had fled would be put to death.

Anyone who tries to break the blockade of the sea area will be directly executed.

……

The following is a long series of notices, requiring people to fully cooperate with the preventive actions of the "Plague Epidemic Prevention and Control Team" during the sea blockade period.

At the end of the writ, is the king's autograph.

The warrants from the Rose Palace suddenly exploded on people's heads like thunderbolts.

At the port, the crew members who were busy loading the goods onto the ship were stunned, and the cigarette rod in the hands of the businessman who was standing at the bow directing the sailors to place the valuable goods carefully fell to the deck with a "click".The person who had just sent his relatives out to sea for a long journey not long ago looked stunned and didn't understand what happened.

Everything happened suddenly.

The merchants unloading and loading at the port yelled and couldn't believe their ears, but following the royal fleet that appeared at the port, they opened the long sea blockade pontoon bridge, and the king who arrived on the street a while ago was fully armed, took to the streets.City officials are like a flock of crows, shuttling through the blocks to convey the latest announcements.

When it was realized that all this was true, people's arguments exploded like thunder, and the city officials who informed the news were mobbed in the streets.

"Why didn't you notify the news of the arrival of the Black Death in advance?"

Mrs. Poisonous Spider looked at the family members of the merchants who fainted on the ground, or rushed to grab the city officials who read out the notice, and asked with some embarrassment.

Their relatives just went to sea not long ago, and when the sea area was blocked, they were isolated from the blockade and included in the category of "no entry".

"Because of human nature."

Patriarch Dawson was silent for a moment, then spoke slowly.

"If the news of the Black Death outbreak had been announced before the lockdown was imposed, how many people do you think would have chosen to risk selling their goods before the Black Death? How many people would have chosen to go after their loved ones? And how many People will know that their relatives have gone to areas that may be infected with the plague, but they will quietly take them ashore in private?"

Mrs. Poisonous Spider was silent, speechless to answer.

"If people were told about the plague before the lockdown, then the subsequent lockdown would be a joke."

Patriarch Dawson took a deep breath.

He finally understood the series of actions of the king on the southeast coast these days.

Disintegrate the five-port alliance, establish a free chamber of commerce to grasp the information of ships in the southeast waters, and lay the foundation for a strict sea blockade.Once the opposition rises, the army can use the fastest speed to suppress it, spend a lot of money to recruit and form a huge royal navy in the shortest time, patrol the entire coastal sea line, and pull up a long blockade Wire……

Wait until the blockade has been completed quietly in the dark before the official notification.

At this time, no one can stop this big blockade.

Even, Patriarch Dawson recalled, the number of ships returning during this period became less and less.

——He didn't dare to think about whether the ships that went out to sea really hadn't returned, or they were sunk because they were infected with the plague, and sank into the sea forever.

"Look."

Chief Dawson looked with some fear at the cavalry passing down the street below, and they dispersed the gathered crowd.

"It's time for Legrand to start making noise again."

Legrand, December 1432.

The king issued the "Emergency Blockade Regulations on the Southeast Coast". On the same day, all the large and small ports on the southeast coast failed to raise their sails, and the ports fell into a deep sleep.

On the first day when the blockade regulations were promulgated, there were twelve ships trying to break out of the blockade in one port city of Kossoya alone.

All twelve ships were sunk.

On the pier, there is a silent armored knight.The sailors who struggled to swim to the shore from the icy water tried their best to climb onto the pier, but what greeted them was long swords that were drawn out of their sheaths.

Blood stains the shore.

The king announced with his cold, iron-blooded wrist that this is a big blockade that absolutely does not allow mercy.

The name of the tyrant has been heavily stained with blood.

The king waited for the report from the southeast in the Rose Palace.

Facing his new nickname of "Blood Tyrant", he didn't make any comments, as if he wasn't the one being blamed.

The sea blockade is just a prelude.

The real coping comes from hell.

………………

In the depths of winter in December, the wind is howling and harsh.

The royal government can only do its best to block the city, but the coastline is long, and the spread of the plague is not limited to humans.

A boat heaves with the tide from the sea and finally runs aground.No one got off the boat.

Not far from the stranded ship, there is a small village.

"Here it is."

Out of the night came a devil in a black dress, and he opened the black umbrella with the sword hidden in the rib.The wind blows his clothes.

The devil walked briskly aboard the dead ship, where many corpses were strewn about.There were pustules, large or small, on the corpses.

The rustling mouse escaped from the boat.

The devil snapped his fingers.

The black fire ignited silently, and a shrunken version of the gate of hell floated in midair.

Since the king had put on the joint, the devil seemed stronger than before.

He bowed gentlemanly.

"Come on, gentlemen."

The shrunken version of the gate of hell slowly opened.
