Chapter 463 The Princess and the Duke
King Kushra took a deep breath, forced a stiff smile, and walked down the steps.
Now it's meaningless for him to complain about the failure of the eyeliner and the mindlessness of the Imperial Guard.
The elder brother's arrival is just like when he was marching and fighting in the past, always by surprise, he can only stabilize the situation first.
What is there to panic about?He is the king. As a "virtuous king", the duke who has made great contributions to the empire has returned, and he is also his elder brother. Of course, he must be calm and even show a happy welcome.
Lu Chen looked at King Kushra walking towards him with a stiff smile, and for a moment had the urge to hack him to death.
After all, King Kushra's personal strength is not strong, and even if there are many guards behind him, if he violently kills people, the distance is too late for them.
But this idea just passed through his mind for a moment, and then he gave up. Now is not the time.
If he killed King Kushra today, it would be "violating human design".
His reputation has not yet recovered. If he kills the king, and he is his own younger brother, plus he has the will of the previous king, his reputation will be stinky right away.
Moreover, the leader of the imperial guards in the royal city is an absolute confidant promoted by King Kushra himself. From the veterans who follow him, he knows that the thoughts and values of people in this world are more ancient, enveloping the spirit of chivalry.
Today's leader of the Forbidden Army is definitely someone who is willing to die for King Khusla. If he dares to attack today, the other party will dare to lead the army and himself to the end.
Whether he can win or not is another matter, which is not conducive to his long-term planning.
It is not impossible to kill the king, but it depends on the situation and conditions.
"Brother is suffering, and the journey is exhausting, please dismount quickly and follow me into the palace."
King Kushra looked up at his elder brother, and suddenly felt that the other party looked at him wrongly, and his hairs were a little erected, but fortunately, it might just be his own illusion.
Because the elder brother didn't make any abnormal movements, but got off the horse and patted himself on the shoulder just like returning from the expedition.
"During my absence, you slacked off."
Lu Chen's tone seemed to be admonishing a child, which was also in line with the original image of the Duke of Godzilla.
King Kushra was suppressing his anger, but he still nodded and said, "In terms of cultivation, I can't compare to my brother's talent."
As he said that, he looked back at the imperial guards, and gave the commander of the imperial guards, the Marquis Diluc, a look, "Why are you putting on such a big battle? It's not here to assassinate, so go back!"
Lu Chen was expressionless, and just glanced slightly at King Khusra, and there was something in the other party's words.
"Wait for me outside."
Lu Chen waved his hand and said this to Gu Lanting and the others.
The group of veterans dismounted in unison and stood at attention.
"Wallis, aren't you happy to see me?"
When stepping up the steps, Lu Chen looked at the old eunuch and said in a flat tone.
Wallis trembled slightly, and quickly put on a smiling face, "My lord, I couldn't be happier to see you."
The previous pride and ferocity between the monarch and his subjects dissipated invisible after seeing Duke Godzilla for real.
In a moment, the two of them thought of the past years again.
As the eunuch who served King Khusla since he was a child, Wallis is naturally familiar with the Duke of Godzilla. He used to be very afraid of the Duke.
A few times, if King Kushra insisted on protecting him, he might have been executed by Duke Godzilla.
King Kushra glared at Wallis, feeling dissatisfied, secretly thinking that he was a waste.
Where did the ruthless energy when you advised me before go?
minister?
Should you call yourself this to him? ?
But he himself was not much better, the hand behind his back was still shaking slightly.
Although he has grasped the highest authority in the empire, the shadows in people's hearts are difficult to overcome. In front of this person beside him, he always unconsciously feels his head bowed.
"Oh?"
Lu Chen looked at Wallis meaningfully, "These years I've been away, thanks to you for assisting my brother, I'll thank you another day."
"Don't dare, it's all my duty."
Wallis also realized what he had said just now, and secretly scolded himself for having the courage to live and go back.
The other party is nothing more than a sick cat with no power and no power. Just those dozens of veterans, he and King Khusla are now the ones with power.
Lu Chen walked into the resplendent and resplendent hall, feeling a little emotional, the Duke of Godzilla was here to shake the King's Capital.
"I originally wanted to go to the northern border to pick up my brother, but you also understand that as a king, I have so many things to do, and I really can't leave."
King Kushra said, implying that I am the real king now, you are just a sinner who just got out of prison, even if you come back, be honest with me.
"It's not in vain to teach brother Wang for so many years. Now it seems that he has really grown up."
Lu Chen waved his hand with a look of indifference.
But it seems to Kushla that he is saying, don't pretend to be your brother, I give you everything, and you are still a child in my opinion.
King Kushra was sullen in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He even held his brother's hand very affectionately and walked towards the throne together.
There is a historian in the palace, and he also wants to leave a good name in history.
Since his suppression plan failed, let's give it up for now, as long as he doesn't restore the military power for Duke Godzilla, the opponent is nothing more than a powerful individual.
"I have always sent someone to clean my brother's mansion. When I heard that my brother was released from prison, I re-arranged two hundred maids for my brother. I hope my brother can find the feeling of going home."
King Kushra walked to the throne, sat on it, and looked at his brother. This time, the other party was no longer standing behind him, but at the lower head.
This is the scene he has dreamed of all his life. He is the king, and his elder brother is just a dutiful courtier.
But Lu Chen didn't care about these, he found that certain behaviors of King Kushra were far more childish than he imagined...
"That would be great."
Lu Chen nodded, "I heard that there have been riots in the western part of the empire recently, and the orcs on the grassland are a little restless, can you still deal with it?"
King Kushra's heart sank, okay, let's get to the point right from the start?
Think I can't handle it, force me to put you back in the army?
"Brother, don't worry, I already have a reasonable countermeasure, and I will deal with it after a while."
King Kushra said calmly, but in fact he has no perfect plan at all.
The suggestion given by the Prime Minister is to fight, fight at any cost, not necessarily to win, but to beat the orcs, and then go to peace talks, no matter what the outcome of the peace talks is, I believe the subjects of the empire can accept it, and it will not harm the king. reputation.
But King Kushra hadn't made up his mind yet. If he wanted to fight, he would have to mobilize defenders from all over the country, and the imperial guards in the capital would also have to mobilize 20 troops to be sure of confronting the orcs on the frontal battlefield.
The prime minister's idea is very good, but King Kushra is a little worried, what if the war... is completely defeated?
If the frontal battlefield is completely defeated, the orc tribe may not only need food for the winter, but if they are more greedy, they can directly knock down the entire western border of the empire and turn it into the territory of the orcs.
Then he, the king, became the most failed monarch in the history of the Howard family, and he would be cast aside for thousands of years.
"Brother Wang has countermeasures, as long as he is an older brother, he can't help much. He is getting old, and now he just wants to live a peaceful life."
Lu Chen looked like a Buddhist, and didn't mention the matter of returning to the army, because he knew that the other party would not agree.
He said that this matter is useless, and he can only wait for an opportunity, or create an opportunity, and force King Kushra to restore him to power.
When King Kushra heard the words, he looked at Lu Chen's "old and old" appearance. If it weren't for the aura of the other party when he arrived just now, he might really believe it.
Want some peace and quiet?Liar.
Regrouping in the old department, stepping on the square in front of the palace, and entering the palace with great momentum, everything is to announce to the people in the capital, are you back?
King Kushra looked disappointed and sighed, "I wanted my brother to help me again, it was my brother's selfishness, no matter, my brother's 20 years in prison, I'm afraid my heart is tired, so I just stay in the capital. Take care of yourself for the rest of your life."
The two brothers sat and stood, chatting "friendlyly", like brothers who have not seen each other for many years.
At this time, footsteps came from the apse, and a beautiful woman in a purple dress came over, holding tea and porridge in her hand, it was Princess Ruth.
In recent days, she would come to the main hall at this time every day to deliver some refreshments and health porridge. On the one hand, she was considerate, and on the other hand, she wanted to learn all kinds of information for the facts.
The price is that in the process of understanding, you have to be shot.
There is so much movement in the capital today, of course she knows, and she also knows that King Kushra should be meeting with the legendary duke at this time.
But she needs to understand the current situation, and can't wait to see their biggest opponent, so that the Tianji Adventure Group can formulate follow-up plans.
When King Kushra saw Ruth coming, he frowned slightly, and habitually wanted to explain to his brother. After all, according to the tradition, people in the harem are not allowed to enter the front hall of the ceremony. I still remember that when he was young, he once had a The beloved princess was executed by her brother because of this incident.
He opened his mouth and realized that he didn't need to explain. Now he is the real power holder, and he can do whatever he wants.
So he stood up, took the bowl of healthy porridge with one hand with a smile, and put his arm around Ruth's slender waist, checking Duke Godzilla's expression.
Looking at this scene, Lu Chen didn't scold or criticize, his face was expressionless, as if he didn't care.
In fact, he was looking at this princess. Although he didn't directly check the other party's attributes with his yin and yang eyes, he found that this Princess Ruth was... pretty strong from his wild perception.
Even if he fights alone, he is stronger than Gu Lanting.
Such a person will be the princess?
Thinking of his own experience, Lu Chen had some guesses about this woman's identity.
And Ruth lowered her eyebrows, with a shy expression, she was also peeking at Duke Godzilla.
Because she was afraid that the other party would notice, she didn't dare to use any probing skills or equipment. She only relied on her countless experience in reading people and her perception of aura to roughly judge the current strength of the other party.
The result surprised her, or felt strange.
Because she felt that Duke Godzilla's physical attributes did not seem to be high, but the power on his body was real, and strangely, her sixth sense was telling herself that this man was a fatal threat to her.
Reminiscent of the other party's record of killing the guardian dragon, Ruth judged that the Duke of Godzilla might have inherited dragon blood and had special means to enter a high-intensity combat state. In that state, he could be slaughtered. The ultimate powerhouse of the guardian dragon.
As for the other party being an explorer or something, Ruth didn't think about it.
She couldn't think of any Tier [-] explorer who fit the identity and strength of the Duke of Godzilla, and she didn't think the space would arrange such a good plot identity for the explorer.
In her opinion, the status of the Duke of Godzilla is equivalent to King Kushra, and according to the development potential, it is even higher than King Kushra. If the explorer obtains this status, There is a lot of room for planning.
Their team used epic-level props to arrange for her to be the princess. The camp against the Duke of Godzilla is probably at the level of the elf princess, and it cannot be regarded as the core figure of the mainland.
Of course, various plot identities have advantages and disadvantages, and the final step depends on the performance of the explorer.
It was the first time I met Duke Godzilla today. It was hard for her to judge the resourcefulness of the other party, but he was indeed a very sharp and fierce person, and his team needed to be vigilant.
Think carefully about how to complete the second ring of the main mission first.
Lu Chen and King Khusla had a non-nutritive conversation for a while, and then left on the grounds that they were exhausted from the journey and wanted to go back to rest.
It's useless to talk too much. After he settles down with his own people, he will carefully think about how to take back the supreme authority step by step.
…………
"My lord, I thought you were going to kill him."
On the way back, Gree smiled.
"Geli, be careful, this is the capital of the king."
Gu Lanting frowned and said, "It's okay for them to talk about this kind of thing on the way here, but it was heard by interested people in the king's capital, and it became a rumor, which was very bad for the Duke's reputation.
Lu Chen rode on the horse and raised his hand to signal the two not to quarrel, "Go pick up the old wolf and go back home."
Because today's behavior of rushing straight into the palace is not without any risk, what if King Khusla ignores his face and the reputation of killing his brother, and directly lets the guards besiege him?
And because Lei Ze still has his daughter with him, he is not suitable to come, no matter in terms of rushing or the military appearance of the team.
A group of veterans with evil spirits forcing the palace looks majestic, but if there is an extra naive little girl... the style of painting is a bit wrong.
The old wolf was naturally not very happy, but there was nothing he could do for the safety of his daughter.
The horse under Lu Chen and the others was of course not stolen from somewhere, but prepared by a veteran lurking in the mainland.
Through the interaction with the veteran, Lu Chen unexpectedly discovered that he was actually an explorer, an explorer of his own camp.
It is the task of that explorer to prepare horses and a certain amount of funds for himself.
There was no fanaticism or respect in the eyes of the other party looking at him, only happiness, just like looking at a scoring machine...
