alien army

Chapter 242
"Marshal, it seems that the seriousness of the matter has far exceeded your estimate!" Lante Sword Master sat at the table, wiping the simple long sword in his hand, looking at Marshal Yan who was meditating with his hands behind his back in front of the window , said in a heavy tone.

Yan Tian turned around, his eyes fell on the long sword in the hands of the Lante Juggernaut: "Old guy, how many years have you not touched it?"

"Actually, I hope that I don't have to touch it again in my life. It seems that I can't do it." Rand smiled bitterly, and slowly drew out the long sword.As soon as the sword was unsheathed, there was a flash of light, and the dust for many years did not hide its sharpness.

"Actually, you don't need to intervene, and they shouldn't bother you." Yan Tian sighed.

"You are also a sword master, and you can hide from the world, but can you do it?" Lante asked.

Yan Tian shook his head.

"Martial skills have no country, but warriors have a country. Although there was an unwritten rule in the mainland that restrained sword masters and holy magisters from participating in wars between mainland countries and interfering in the internal affairs of each country, there is still a sentence behind it. The exception is at critical times. Looking at the current situation, our old bones may not be able to move." The Lante Sword Master stood up and put the sword back into its sheath.

"If we can quell this catastrophe, it will be worth giving up this old life. I am worried that the opponent's strength is far beyond our imagination, and maybe the mainland will fall into an unprecedented crisis. As the top of the mainland, the sword master and holy magister The era of existence may have passed." Thinking of the contents of Shiyan's letter, Xia Tian couldn't help feeling worried.

"You have fought against them, I believe your worry is justified. For Shi Yan and his group of young people, this is an extremely cruel test! Do you think they can stand it?" Lante asked .

"The last time I was attacked, all my bodyguards died in battle, and I was the only one who survived. The strength of these people is still fresh in my memory. I have already heard Yun'er say that the poisonous blood used by the attackers is terrible. But seeing it with my own eyes still made me fear for the first time in my life, because it is a terrible force that can exterminate the entire continent. Unless a miracle happens or the mainland countries unite, no country can stop their great power A large-scale attack. You can imagine that as long as you contact the enemy, every soldier and citizen may become a weapon in the hands of a cult in a blink of an eye. How can this battle be fought? Therefore, it is difficult for me to answer your question optimistically." Yan Tian said to Rand.But there is still some hope in his heart: maybe his Yun'er, the kid who acts weird but always has strange tricks, can bring surprises to this country again.

"Hey, don't talk about frustration. We can't hide, let's go all out! After returning to Seablue City, what are your plans? What are you going to do with the court affairs?" Lante changed the subject.Since receiving the letter from Prince Shiyan, Yan Tian has been preparing to return to Seablue City.

"It seems that this kid Shiyan is also planning to make a fuss about his affairs in Asman, to make a fuss for himself, to attack some nobles, and to kill chickens for monkeys to see. Xiaoyun has never been a bloodthirsty person. The people he wants to kill all have a reason to die. Domestic stability is extremely important in this emergency period, and necessary high-pressure measures are indispensable. These things are left to them to deal with. We old people will only Add to the trouble. After returning to Seablue City, all I have to do is to resign from all positions and go to Priseli City, where the Military Command Academy may need me more." Xia Tian replied easily.For many ministers who hold important national powers, delegating power is a very painful thing, but Xia Tian's performance is as easy as throwing away a burden. Rand finally understands why George IX has more trust in him.

"Don't you think it's a pity?" Rant asked with a smile, "Many people are staring at the power in your hands with red eyes!"

"Still that old fox, I have to help them stabilize it. Since you want to move his people, you have to make him feel at ease, otherwise His Royal Highness Shiyan will face great pressure when those nobles unite. Imperial Capital He should be able to stabilize the situation, and I am more concerned about what happened in Priseli City, which is the future front line and where I should be." Xia Tian said, showing a battle-hardened expression on his face. General's pride.Politics will always be disliked by soldiers, even if they are as high as the Marshal of the Empire.

"Okay, I'll go with you. I just don't worry about Naya Nannizi."

On April 754, 4 in the imperial calendar, the peaceful political arena of the imperial capital revived.It's just that this storm was no longer caused by Liu Yun, who was regarded as a thorn in the side of the nobles of the imperial capital, but by their master, the successor of the empire-Prince Shiyan.

On April 4th, Shiyan urgently summoned Prime Minister Srode, Imperial Minister of Military Affairs Duke John, Director of the Imperial Police Department and the commander of the City Guards in the middle of the night, heralding the arrival of the storm.

"Prime Minister Srode, give me a good look at this information!"

Just as Slude walked into the emperor's study, Shiyan threw a letter in front of him with a livid face, and said angrily.

Srode took out a few pieces of paper from the letter and looked at them seriously, his expression gradually became extremely ugly, and fine beads of sweat climbed up his originally shiny forehead.

"Your Majesty really doesn't know about this, please check it out!" Srode wiped off his cold sweat after reading all the content on the letter paper, threw himself on the ground, and said tremblingly, his tone already filled with tears.

"These people are the ones who surround you all day long, and they all say they are loyal to the empire! You tell me that this kind of behavior is loyalty?" Shiyan looked at Srode, who was kneeling on the ground and trembling all over, asked in a cold tone.

"The old minister is dizzy, no one has noticed their wolfish ambitions, and he is willing to take all the responsibility for this matter! The minister is willing to accept His Highness's disposal!" Srode said hoarsely.

When Slude received the news that the prince had summoned him late at night, he felt a little weird in his heart.Along the way, he thought over and over what might happen, and prepared a draft one by one.However, he never imagined that the matter of the Huoyun nobleman and Queen Asman's plot to kill Liuyun was suddenly thrown on the table, and he was caught off guard for a while.After reading the information that Shiyan gave him, he knew that this matter could no longer be denied and prevaricated, because the letter contained the content that the Imperial Finance Minister Peel conspired with the Asmans to harm Liuyun.

"At this time, do you say such words in line with your status, Lord Prime Minister? Earl Liuyun worked tirelessly and risked his life to go to the Asman Empire for the benefit of the empire, but these bastards are ruthlessly attacking you behind the scenes. Stabbed him. I always thought that their quarrel with Earl Liuyun was just a conflict of ideas and thinking, and they tried their best to protect the interests of these nobles. Haha, I can’t imagine that they would actually repay me by betraying the empire!" Shi Yan laughed back in anger, and the laughter made everyone jump with fear.Everyone vaguely sensed that this laughter was a precursor to the eruption of His Royal Highness, who had always been kind and low-key.

The prime minister and the other three officials knelt quietly in front of Shiyan, not daring to take a breath.

"Prime Minister, you are the leader of the officials. You must be as sad as me when something like this happens!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" Srode replied heartbroken.

"Okay. Then I will hand over this treason case to you, and I believe you will give me a satisfactory result."

"Yes, Your Highness!" Sidero leaned over and quickly replied with his head on the ground.His mind was already blank, this sudden blow made him not recover for a long time.

"Duke John, show me your army, don't let the army follow the example of these nobles!" Shi Yan glanced at the Minister of Military Affairs, Duke John, and the latter nodded knowingly.

"City Guards, show me the gates of Yuncheng. Fifteen people involved in the case, let one come to see me!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

"Public Security Department, keep an eye on the city. Anyone who makes a move, I will take it down! I will give you the power to kill first and then play!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

After Shi Yan finished speaking these words with a murderous look, he immediately walked away, leaving only four people stunned on the spot.

"Prime Minister, how should we deal with this matter, do you have an idea?" A moment after Shi Yan left, Duke John finally broke the silence.

"How to deal with it?" Slade repeated in a murmur.

"Yes, these officials have a good relationship with you. The prince entrusted this matter to you to see your attitude. Didn't you find out?" Duke John couldn't help provoking him when he saw his distraught look.

Srode couldn't help but startled when he heard this, and raised his absent-minded eyes to look at Duke John, but quickly began to think in his heart.

"The time for riots in the church is approaching. At this critical moment, I can't mess around. Although the murder with a knife failed, I didn't come forward to plan this matter. Now that the situation is pressing, I have to give up if I should give up. Shi Yan With the prince's military power in my hands, I have to endure it. It's a pity that half of the team that has been cultivated in secret for so long has been cleared out of nowhere. It seems that I still have to try to win Nalan over !"

"What should be arrested, what should be killed, the crime of treason is enough for them to die a thousand times!" Slude thought for a long time, and finally said with a sullen face and gritted his teeth.
