Naden glanced around at the group of people who were crouching with their heads in their hands and said coldly.
“I…I am me, I am the city lord here, my name is Evans.”
A man with graying temples and a large belly raised his hand.
"You've got some nerve, knowing I was coming in, you still dare to stop me?"
Naden kicked the man hard in the head.
"Ouch!"
Evans cried out in pain and rolled on the ground, clutching his head.
"We're sorry, Your Highness Regent, but we received orders from the capital to defend Hetan City to the death. We didn't want to go against you!"
Evans cried out in panic, "Your Majesty, have mercy!"
"Up there? Who's that person up there?"
"Nedden asked."
"It's His Majesty's order!"
Evans replied.
"Your Majesty? You mean my brother Caesar?"
"Nedden asked."
"Yes, how could I dare to stop you except by His Majesty's order!"
Evans cried out in pain.
"Evans, do you know that His Majesty is dead?"
Naden scoffed.
"His Majesty is dead? That can't be!"
Evanston sensed something was wrong. At first, he thought the regent was going to rebel, and then he received an order from Guberlan, saying it was Caesar's decree, instructing him to hold out for a week, and that Guberlan would soon send reinforcements.
As it turned out, he overestimated the strength of the defenders of Rivertan. In just two days, Naden's army drove the city into it.
"Yes, you don't think I'm rebelling, do you?"
Naden sneered, "In Guberlan, someone has colluded with the dragons and assassinated His Majesty Caesar. His Majesty Caesar's fate is currently unknown, and the royal court is being controlled by villains. I am sending troops now to defend the king, save the country, and eliminate the traitors!"
"what……"
Evans' eyes darted around. He didn't know what had happened in Guberlan, but he did have information that a battle between terrestrial angels had reportedly taken place there.
But what does this have to do with Evans?
His top priority right now is to stay alive!
"It was my foolishness that I was misled by the treacherous men of Guberlan. I deserve to die! But I don't care about my death. I beg the Regent to immediately enter the capital and ensure the peace of the empire!"
Evans shouted passionately.
Seeing this, the other politicians also realized what was happening.
"We urge the Regent to take over the capital and ensure the peace of the empire!"
The crowd cheered in unison.
The soldiers around him also shouted in unison.
In an instant, the entire government building erupted in cheers, and the crowd was filled with excitement.
Such calls,
The news spread further and further...
Chapter Thirty-Three: Minion Flings, Can't You Handle This?
A divine war broke out in Guberlan. Although Peaceful Town (the town where Helena grew up) is quite far from Guberlan, and the battle with the dragons took place entirely in the western part of Guberlan, near Blackburg.
But Helena was still very worried about Anna's safety. (Anna: Helena's biological sister, who took care of Helena from childhood and was practically like a mother to Helena.)
So Helena didn't stay in Blackburg that night, but went back to Peace Town to see Anna, accompanied by Knight Rosen.
Rosen has now reached the Obsidian level and has been incorporated into the Royal Knights' most elite force.
At the same time, he was also Anna's lover.
Initially, Leon feared that Leon would go to Peaceful Town to force Helena to show herself by harming Anna in order to capture her. Therefore, he put Rosen in charge of the security of Peaceful Town and gave him the key responsibility of protecting Anna. If necessary, Rosen could disobey military orders and leave the army to lead Anna to escape.
Unexpectedly, Rosen managed to win Anna's heart, and Leon's unintentional act unexpectedly led to a marriage.
Ping'an Town remains peaceful and safe to this day.
Perhaps the problem arose with the Knight Jack part. The original plot was that Leon sent Jack to Peaceful Town to capture Anna and threaten Helena into coming forward. However, after seeing Anna, Jack became lustful and stripped Anna of her clothes in front of the whole village, humiliated her, and accidentally killed her.
This led to Helena's complete descent into darkness.
However, due to Leon's secret manipulation, Jack was wanted by the Empire and became a wanted criminal. Helena and Peaceful Town were well protected, and Helena remains a kind girl with love in her heart.
Leon and Lyon have also resolved their differences and reconciled.
As for Jack...
After being wanted by the Empire, this guy disappeared without a trace. No one knows where he went or whether he's dead or alive.
Now, the original plot has been completely disrupted.
The world can no longer proceed as originally planned; instead, it has entered a completely new and unknown script.
Leon sat in Caesar's office, a place he hadn't visited in a long time, reviewing various documents just as he had during his time as regent.
Leon said he went to find the Third Duke of the Empire, but he hasn't returned to Blackburg yet.
And there's also that eccentric little sister, Lilita, who's nowhere to be seen; she left Blackburg with Leon.
害,
All I can say is that my foolish little brother has finally figured out things about men and women, and has even learned how to seduce his junior sister into staying out all night.
Avery was put up in Blackburg.
Bancroft, Leon's former teacher, was an old man with a wicked heart, but he was a truly great scholar with real talent and learning. Leon learned a lot from him.
Now that Bancroft, the most learned old fellow in the empire, is dead, someone needs to take his place.
After much deliberation, Lyon concluded that only the equally learned Avery could replace Bancroft.
However, Avery seemed unwilling to serve as an official for long. Leon persuaded him for a long time and finally agreed to help Avery create an opportunity to advance to the rank of Peerless Angel before Avery was allowed to stay.
Now, the one thing that needs to be addressed is the Zhenbei Army, which is gradually closing in on Guberlan.
This is the Empire's elite force, numbering 300,000, used to resist the dragons in the north. Previously, Caesar had entrusted all military command to Naden.
Three hundred thousand troops...
The elite troops remaining in the capital of Guberlan numbered only a little over 100,000.
It's best to avoid this civil war if possible. If it happens, it will be a loss for the empire no matter which side wins.
Furthermore, everyone is currently questioning the cause of Caesar's death. Before officially announcing his coronation, Leon had no right to mobilize the 400,000-strong army in the Coral Sea. Moreover, the commander-in-chief in the Coral Sea was Caesar's confidant. If Caesar's sudden death is announced, it may cause further turmoil.
After all, the Northern Army of Naden marched into Guberlan under the slogan of serving the king, saving the country, and eliminating foreign invaders. The king they were serving was naturally Caesar.
100,000, get 300,000...
We must hold out until reinforcements from the Duchy of Ariel arrive.
Leon stared at the map of the empire, lost in thought.
After much thought, he finally came up with a plan, but one person's opinion is bound to have some flaws, so he still had to wait for Leon to return tomorrow and discuss it with Avery and the others.
Leon stretched and left Caesar's office, heading back to his residence in the palace district.
As soon as Leon entered the room, he saw a graceful figure sitting on his windowsill.
It was Erica, leaning against the windowsill, staring blankly at the night outside. Most importantly, she was only wearing a very thin white nightgown.
Seeing this, Leon quickly looked around, and after confirming that no one had noticed, he immediately closed the door.
"Eric, what are you doing in my room?"
Leon exclaimed in surprise. His room had always been locked. But then he thought that as a Dragon of Order, Erik could change the rules. She only needed to modify the rules in front of her room so that the wall could be passed through at will, and then she could enter freely through the wall.
"Rest now, it's so late, you should go to sleep."
Eric glanced at Leon, then walked directly to Leon's bedside and lay down on it.
Her nightgown was already short, and lying down like this, even though her legs were together, her private parts were still fully exposed.
Leon could see the black lace fabric in the T-shape.
“But this is my room, Eric… I remember I arranged for a maid to tidy up your room.”
Leon covered his face.
"What's wrong? What's our relationship? You're going to marry me sooner or later anyway, so what's wrong with sleeping in the same bed?"
Eric chuckled.
"There's no problem... not really."
Leon walked to the bedside and sat down. "But you're not officially married to me yet. If we just sleep together like this in my room..."
"I understand. You're afraid I'll damage the reputation of Emperor Leon Hoyle of the Fchester Empire?"
Eric pouted angrily.
"That's not it. Which emperor doesn't have some scandalous affairs that get out? It's nothing to be afraid of for me. It's your reputation that might be affected more."
Leon laughed.
"Really? Then let's take a gamble, make a big fuss, and see who gets the biggest impact. Don't you think that's exciting?"
Eric stood up, put his arm around Leon's neck, and laughed provocatively.
This woman always has such a strong competitive spirit.
"You, you."
Leon sighed helplessly, letting Eric's hands roam freely over his body.
"Men just love to lie. Look at them, they say no, but they're already getting excited."
Eric clicked his tongue.
"hiss!"
Leon glared at Eric, "Woman, are you trying to kill me?! Why are you squeezing so hard?!"
"Can't you even handle this? It'll hurt even more in a bit. You're such a useless piece of trash."
Eric smiled faintly.
"Ha, mere trash? Let's see who can't take it!"
Leon flipped over and pushed Eric down.
The oil lamp went out.
In the darkness,
Eric begged for mercy repeatedly...
Chapter Thirty-Four: The Masochistic Dragon Princess
A week later,
Thanks to the government's swift disaster relief efforts, the royal capital, Guberlan, has regained its former prosperity.
Students in schools that had been closed have officially returned to school, factories have resumed operations, and major companies and shops have resumed normal operations.
The streets were decorated with all sorts of festive banners.
However, the citizens were far less jubilant than they appeared.
this day,
