alien army

Chapter 382

Late at night, Lin Shiya came to the gate of the palace.

In her hand was a battle report from Priseli City, and a letter from Liu Yun to Prince Shiyan.

The guard at the door gave her a respectful military salute, then turned sideways to make way for her.Since Liu Yun served as the commander of the southwestern theater of the empire, in order to strengthen the connection with the front line, Prince Shiyan gave her the privilege of freely entering and leaving the palace.

The crisp footsteps echoed in the silent and empty corridor.

"Miss Lin, this way please, Your Highness is in the study."

An officer of the Royal Guard came to Lin Shiya and said respectfully.

"It's work!"

Lin Shiya nodded, and walked towards the study under the leadership of the officer.

"Take a rest and eat something!"

Xiaoxiao walked into the study, put a plate of snacks and a bowl of steaming soup on the table, then walked behind Shiyan, gently squeezed his shoulder and said.

"Didn't I tell you to rest first?" Shi Yan closed the document in his hand, smiled and squeezed Xiaoxiao's hand.

The relaxed feeling on his shoulders immediately surrounded his heart with a ray of sweetness.

"I have always believed that the emperors and princes of mankind are people who can only enjoy themselves. I never thought there would be a workaholic like you. Look, how thin you have become these days?" Xiaoxiao's hand was in Shiyan Sliding across his face, he said lovingly.

"The Blood God Sect is still alive and the empire is in ruins, how can I sleep peacefully?" Shi Yan sighed softly.

Xiao Xiaojiao smiled, and pulled Shiyan up from the desk: "Aren't you relieved that Earl Liuyun is here? Take your time about the empire. The life of an elf is hundreds of years. You have plenty of time. Eat it first." Get something!"

"Ever since he led the Black Hawk Special Forces to the Asman Empire, I feel very uneasy, and always feel that something will happen."

Shi Yan picked up a piece of snack from the plate, but he didn't have any appetite.

"Sister, are you okay?" He suddenly thought of Naya who was far away in the West Fortress.

"Your Highness, Miss Lin please see me!"

Outside the study, the guard's loud voice came.

"Please come in!" Shi Yan put the snack back on the plate, turned around and walked back to the desk.

The magic lights illuminate the study as if it were daytime.

Shi Yan stood in front of the table, holding the battle report and watching it seriously.

Lin Shiya stood in front of the desk with a face as calm as water.

For the head of an intelligence organization, she must remain absolutely calm under any circumstances.At this time, she needs to remain calm enough, because she knows the serious consequences that the battle report may bring.

"Brother, you let me down so much!"

Shiyan groaned, and angrily threw the battle report on the table.His face was pale, and his expression became particularly terrifying because of anger.

"Your Highness, the Blood God Sect suddenly concentrated its elite forces to launch an attack on Priseli City, which no one could have expected." Lin Shiya looked at Shiyan and said calmly.

"No!" Shi Yan roared, "He promised me to take good care of Naya!"

Two lines of tears fell silently from Shiyan's face.

"Sister, why don't you listen to brother, why do you insist on going your own way!" He muttered to himself.

"In war, anything can happen. Earl Liuyun is responsible for Princess Naya's death, but he cannot be blamed entirely." Lin Shiya continued.

When she received the battle report, her heart was extremely heavy.The demise of the Blood God Sect is great news for the Huoyun Empire and the entire Blue Moon Continent, but the death of Princess Naya is unacceptable bad news for the royal family.Lin Shiya was very aware of Princess Naya's position in the Huoyun Empire, and she also knew the deep feelings that Emperor George had for his daughter and Prince Shiyan for his younger sister.If this matter is not handled properly, it is likely to affect the relationship between Earl Liuyun and the royal family.

"If it wasn't because he left Priseli City at a critical time, Naya wouldn't have died in the West Fortress!" Shiyan pushed away Xiaoxiao who came to help him, and said in a cold tone.

Shiyan's anger did not make Lin Shiya flinch.

She said tit-for-tat: "Your Highness, you agreed to Earl Liuyun's going to the Asman Empire. At the same time, you forgot one thing! Princess Naya is not only a princess of the royal family, she is also a member of the Fire Phoenix Army." Legion Commander! She is a soldier, and it is very common for soldiers to die on the battlefield!"

Shiyan raised his head to look at Lin Shiya, and said without a word: "You mean, my sister deserves to die?"

"No, Your Highness. What I want to say is that when the army of the Blood God Sect came under pressure, Princess Naya did not forget the people of Priseli City behind her, nor the country where she was born. She faithfully fulfilled the duties of a soldier ! Therefore, she is a role model for all nobles, and she is worthy of the title of Princess of the Empire!"

The same woman, also the most outstanding woman of this era, the death of Princess Naya not only made Lin Shiya feel heartbroken, but also made her deeply admired.

Shi Yan backed down and slumped down on the chair.

Lin Shiya also stopped talking.

Xiaoxiao stood behind Shiyan, looking helplessly at her man.

In the study room, the silence was terrifying.

"Here, there is another letter from Earl Liuyun, please read it, Your Highness."

After Shiyan's mood eased a little, Lin Shiya stepped forward and gently placed Liuyun's letter on the desk.

"Your Highness, no matter what, the Blood God Sect has perished, and we have won this war! After the war, there are still many things that need to be dealt with by you. Please forgive me for saying that you are not only Princess Naya's brother, but also The ruling prince of the Fire Cloud Empire!"

It was a long time after Lin Shiya left that Shi Yan picked up the letter on the table and opened it.

After reading the letter, Shiyan's expression became more gloomy.

"Xiaoxiao, go back to your room and rest, I'm going to meet the emperor."

Shiyan stood up, gently hugged Xiaoxiao, picked up the battle report and the letter Liuyun wrote to him, turned and walked out of the study.

After lying on the bed and reading the battle report, George slowly closed his eyes, his face twitching slightly.

"Father!" Shiyan called out nervously.He was afraid of his father's illness and could not bear the sadness caused by Naya's departure.

Unexpectedly, George suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Shiyan and said with a smile: "Prince, don't be sad, you should be proud of your sister!"

This aged emperor had experienced too many vicissitudes of life, blood, tears and joys and sorrows. He forcibly chewed up the great grief of his beloved daughter's departure and swallowed it down.

"Hundreds of years ago, our ancestors left behind the ancestral motto that 'when Yuncheng falls, the blood of the royal family will be shed'. For hundreds of years, Huoyun has experienced countless wars and still stands firm. The precepts of the ancestors are indispensable. Because, in these hundreds of years, countless members of the royal family have died on the battlefield for this country. However, they shed blood and sacrificed to defend the dignity and power of the royal family, not fire Yun Dadi and the people living on this land. And my daughter has given new meaning to this ancestral motto: the royal family is not only a symbol of imperial power, but also the guardian of the country and the people!"

George said with a proud gleam on his face.

"Father, you are very clear about Naya's feelings for him. If it wasn't for him, Naya wouldn't have died in the West Fortress!" Shi Yan argued.

"Fortress West, bought time for this war! Without Naya, there will still be others! The soldiers of the empire can sacrifice for the country, can't the children of my royal family not?" Excited, George kept coughing .

"Father, I didn't mean that. I just think that if Brother Liuyun is here, Naya might be fine!" Shi Yan said sadly.

"That kid Liuyun wiped out the Blood God Sect and resolved the catastrophe in the mainland. It can be said that he has made great contributions! If you are dissatisfied with Naya because of Naya's death, causing the monarch and ministers to renounce, it will bring huge losses to the empire! George sighed, "Everything Naya did for her was done willingly, so why should we complain? You should focus on what you should do now, and announce the victory of the war in time. Appease the people and reward meritorious soldiers. In addition, after the demise of the Blood God Cult, the situation on the mainland is in chaos, and the orcs are also ready to move. You need to seriously think about the next step of the Fire Cloud Empire!"

Shiyan hesitated for a while, then finally took out Liuyun's letter and handed it to George.

"Father, Big Brother Liuyun mentioned a few things in this letter, I can't decide, please read it!"

"Daughter, it was father's kindness that hurt you!" George sighed after reading the letter.

"Father, look..." Shiyan asked tentatively.The things mentioned in Liuyun's letter have a great impact on the future of the empire, and it is difficult for Shiyan to make up his mind.

"Sure! Tell him, find time to send my granddaughter back to Yuncheng and let me have a look!"

In the middle of the night on February 754, 2 in the imperial calendar, the prince Shiyan suddenly mobilized the city guard army to secretly arrest the imperial prime minister Slood on the charge of treason and collaborating with the enemy.

The bloody week in the imperial capital kicked off.

On the 29th, the imperial capital Yuncheng was under full martial law, and the city guards continued their operations, arresting more than 30 imperial officials who were closely related to the prime minister.During the period, several noble guards resisted and were all killed on the spot.

On the 30th, the First Army of the First Imperial Army was ordered to leave the imperial capital and march northward to Genoa, the capital of the Iberian province, where a large-scale ban was imposed on the city's aristocratic armed forces, and all resistance suffered devastating blows.The city of Genoa is only more than 100 miles away from the imperial capital, and it is the city where Prime Minister Srode and his henchmen are most concentrated.On the same day, the Second Army and the Third Army of the First Army completed their defense near Yuncheng.

On the 31st, the Ministry of Military Affairs of the Empire ordered the local garrison troops in all provinces to enter a state of combat readiness to closely monitor the private armed forces of the nobles. If there is any change, it will be wiped out immediately.

On March 3, the trial of the prime minister's treason and collusion with the enemy was concluded, and Prime Minister Srode and his son Hughes admitted the crimes they had committed.Fifteen officials headed by Prime Minister Srode were sentenced to death and hanged on the gallows in the afternoon of the same day.

On March 3, 3 officials, headed by Under-Secretary of the Exchequer Peel, were sent to the execution ground.

A series of sudden incidents, the high-ranking noble officials who were sent to the gallows turned the entire imperial capital upside down, and the noble officials couldn't help but feel in danger for a while.

People realized that it was finally time for the noble roots entwined under the giant tree of the empire to be pruned.
