Adventure world

Terence City, the southernmost commercial town of the Oss Empire.As a city rich in silk and satin, Terrance Street was no less lively than Simon City in the past, but now, there are only two or three undead soldiers wandering around in the empty streets, and it is a desolate scene as far as the eye can see.The store signs were covered with thick dust, and the city didn't look very popular.

In fact, almost all the cities of the Aussie Empire are like this now.The alien demon race, the living dead, such appalling things are not only defending the country, but also terrifying the people they protect every day.

But even so, I am afraid that their emperor has never regretted his decision. As long as the throne can be guaranteed, who would care about these small problems.

At this time, in Terence City Lord's Mansion, King Krell was sitting in the seat with frost on his face, looking at the tax official who came here from the imperial city.The city lord, who was somewhat distantly related to King Oss VI, was nothing in the eyes of these tax collectors. They flicked through the accounts of Terence City unscrupulously, without hiding the greed in their eyes.

"His Royal Highness," a tax official wearing a feather hat put down the account book in his hand, "Please forgive me for being abrupt, the account book you gave seems to be wrong."

Krell sneered, crossed his legs and squinted at him: "Oh? Then please search my house to see if I have hidden the real account book."

A look of embarrassment flashed across the tax official's face. After all, he couldn't go too far due to the face of the county king: "Your Highness, you are joking, we don't doubt what you mean, it's just that... you come to see it yourself. Is this month's tax too much less?"

"Hehe, so you can see it?" Claire snorted, "Then have you ever thought about why?"

"This..." The tax official hesitated.

Krell didn't intend to listen to him at first, and interrupted him before he could continue: "Because of those living dead all over the city! Now the common people dare not go out to do business at all, and the streets are full of shops that are on the verge of bankruptcy. You Instead, tell me, whose tax will I collect?"

Claire's sharp gaze made the tax official's haughty expression turn ashen, and he suddenly remembered why King Claire was demoted here.

When Oss VI had just succeeded to the throne, the prime minister beside him was not Eden, but the old prime minister who was the most credulous of the previous emperor. His majesty has not yet reached the point where people and gods are indignant.Later, Eden gained power and tried his best to eradicate the old prime minister's influence, and finally replaced him.It can be said that Oss VI became a famous stupid king, partly because of his talent, and partly because of Eden's various slander and stupid tricks.

Later, King Kleil, who was in the imperial city at that time, led his troops directly into the palace, almost letting Iden's blood splash directly on the hall, but King Oss VI tried his best to stop him from resolving the Qing Dynasty's side, which was close to forcing the palace.Afterwards, Krell's power was restricted and eroded, and he was finally relegated to the south.

Although Krell's actions back then ended in failure, a county king who dared to lead his troops into the palace still had the guts to kill several tax officials.So it's no wonder that the arrogance on the faces of these tax officials disappeared at this time.

"His Royal Highness," the tax official saluted politely, "Actually, this is the case in every city right now. It is not uncommon for the people to be afraid of the living dead. However, taxes must be absent. You can refer to the practices of other city lords..."

Krell sneered: "Really? You want me to be like them, no matter whether a family has income or not, they will be treated equally and taxed according to the previous standard? You scumbags in this group of countries still think I am a member of the Os Empire who fled abroad. Isn't there enough population?!"

"Your Highness, calm down!" The tax official almost dropped his hat in shock, "We are only following orders, if we don't get back the full amount of tax money, we can't do the job..."

"Those greedy people in your pockets, can't you still pay the tax?" Krell stood up from the chair with a sneer, and several tax officials took a few steps back in fright, "I don't care how you do business, you go back Tell that bastard Eden, if the living dead don't leave Terence City for a day, Terence City won't pay a copper coin in taxes. Get lost!"

Several tax officials hurriedly rolled and crawled to salute, and then slipped away in disgrace.

After driving away the flies, the indignation on Krell's face gradually dissipated, and gradually turned into a sad expression.

He knew that Oss VI was fatuous and incompetent, but he never imagined that he could do such absurd things, join forces with the alien demons, and say that he was seeking skin from a tiger is to underestimate him.Now the guards in the cities are basically the living dead, and the poor military power in the hands of the city lords was all taken back by Oss VI.If the former Aussian Empire can still see a piece of prosperity and peace on the surface, now there are only devastation left.

Krell is sure that he will definitely see the demise of the Aussian Empire in his lifetime, but he has nothing to do.If he still had the power he had back then, he would definitely enter the palace again, not to mention Eden, even Oss VI, he would kill his relatives righteously.An emperor treats his country and people like this, why should he consolidate his rule for him.

Unfortunately, His Royal Highness seems to have no chance to lead troops to fight again.

Krell sat on the chair blankly and was full of thoughts. He didn't come out of a daze until the butler came to him and informed him that he had dinner. Is it already night?In the past, he had to deal with various matters big and small every day, from leading troops to drill to fighting with merchants, he would always come forward to solve them.But now, every day he lives in a muddle, people run and hide, why do they need him?

After eating a simple dinner without taste, Krell sat back and was in a daze.Thoughts in his mind were chaotic, but when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't seem to catch any useful ideas.He even thought desperately that he might as well bring hundreds of soldiers to join the Quentin Empire.

After sitting there for an unknown amount of time, Krell picked up the silver stick and stirred the somewhat faint oil lamp.When turning his face, he heard almost inaudible footsteps outside the house, and his expression suddenly became alert: "Who is it?"

"Why are you so stupid, a treasure hunting goblin! With such loud footsteps, how will you find treasures in the future?" A teenager complained from outside the house, and then the door was pushed open, and several people walked in swaggeringly.

Krell took a cursory glance, and after noticing that the Eternal God would serve on one of them, he forcibly held back the words of calling the guards, staring carefully at these uninvited guests.

Five people, four tall and one short, the short one is naturally the treasure hunting goblin in the youth's mouth.The remaining four humans, one is wearing the uniform of the Eternal God Council, with an indifferent expression, and the other is smiling, looking like a bounty hunter.As for the remaining two people, Krell was surprised. They had long and pointed ears, and they were actually elves who rarely had contact with humans.

Needless to say, it was naturally Zhuo Jun and his party and His Highness Xiao En.

Zhuo Jun looked at the somewhat shabby study room generously, sat down very familiarly, and looked at Claire with a smile on his face: "His Royal Highness, your mansion is really lax in defense, it seems that you are very trustworthy The living dead."

Krell didn't know who these people were, so he said lightly: "I have a clear conscience, and naturally I don't need too many guards. Who are you, what's the business of a sudden visit?"

Zhuo Jun smiled slightly: "Then I'll open the skylight and speak frankly, King Krell, how long do you think the Os Empire can last if it doesn't make any changes?"

"Hmph, how can you, a yellow-mouthed kid, just say that? Talk nonsense again, don't blame me for taking you down!" Claire shouted, looking like a loyal minister and good general.

"Oh," Zhuo Jun shook his head and sighed, "so I don't like talking to people like you, it's too tiring. Anyway, you also have the intention to rebel, so it would be great if we just hit it off, don't you have to be vague? Will it take half a day to see sincerity?"

Claire's heart jumped up suddenly, could it be that he was recruited to rebel?Although they came just after sending away the imperial city tax officials, it was very suspicious from the time point of view, but what if it was true?And they also have a member of the Eternal God Society, their hatred with the Alien Demon Race is irreconcilable.Taking a step back, even if the member of the God Council is a fake, those two elves are genuine. They won't get together with the different demons, right?

Seeing that Krell was hesitant, Zhuo Jun smiled and said, "Anyway, I'm being honest and honest. We will lead the coalition forces to attack the Os Empire for the second time in a short time, and this time our troops will be stronger, and we will definitely be able to destroy them." Strange Demons and Oss VI. If you trust us, I ask you to do me a little favor."

Claire picked up the teacup, sipping it while thinking.After thinking about it, Krell felt that Oss VI would not be free enough to send someone to test him, and there was no need to test him. Now in the entire Oss Empire, except for a few villains and people who are afraid of death, there are basically no Don't want to rebel.

After all, when the alien demons slaughtered a city's population to create the living dead, everyone felt a sense of crisis, because they would probably follow in the footsteps of those innocent souls.

Krell put down his teacup, and tentatively said, "In that case, I wish you all the best. It's just that I don't have soldiers and horses in my hands at the moment. I'm afraid I'm powerless. Please go back, everyone."

Zhuo Jun didn't know Krell's flamboyance, so he just let go when he heard that he was willing to let go, he immediately smiled and said: "I don't need any of your soldiers, we have united Quentin, the elves, the northern barbarians and the Eternal God's Society. That's enough!"

Now it was Krell who was puzzled: "Then what do you mean by looking for me?"

"It's like this," Zhuo Jun's expression became more subtle, "Although everyone can punish Oss VI's deeds, as the old saying goes, a country cannot live without a king. When he dies, the Oss Empire What should we do? At this time, we need someone with royal connections to stand up."

Krell understood that the person Zhuo Jun was talking about was him: "Then what exactly do I need?"

Zhuo Jun showed a gentle smile: "It's very simple. The people have long been looking forward to the downfall of King Oss VI. When the war is over, it only needs someone who is related to the royal family to stand up and speak out. Normal people can take the place of King Oss VI."

Claire understood somewhat, and looked at Zhuo Jun in surprise.

Zhuo Jun's smile remained unchanged: "I am not talented, and I am willing to provoke the country's leader at that time."

"You want to be the emperor." Claire looked at Zhuo Jun and said almost word for word.

Zhuo Jun chuckled: "Smart."

"Nonsense!" Krell stood up angrily, "How could the centuries-old foundation of the Ossi Empire fall into the hands of an outsider?!"

"Don't get excited, sit down and talk." Zhuo Jun pressed his hand and signaled His Royal Highness to calm down, "You see, why are you so impatient? Isn't this a matter of discussion? Anyway, the Ossi Empire is now in decline, and sooner or later it will be destroyed. Instead, I will definitely be better than Oss VI as emperor anyway. If you are sincere for the country and the people, you shouldn't hold on to the issue of bloodlines."

Claire's expression calmed down a bit, but the eyes he looked at Zhuo Jun were still very unfriendly.

Zhuo Jun continued: "What people need is an emperor with at least a normal brain. It doesn't have to be a relative of Oss VI. As long as it can restore the peace of the Oss Empire, who will replace Oss VI on the throne? Come on, aren't they all the same?"

Claire thought for a moment, stared at Zhuo Jun and said, "If I do this, it will be treason."

Zhuo Jun's face is full of hatred, the stupid and loyal thinking of the ancients is really terrible: "Treason? In that case, Oss VI is the real traitor. Let me tell you this, regardless of whether you agree or not, I must pull down Oss VI, I must take this throne! If you are willing to tell a lie for me, I will save trouble, and your royal family will look good. If you are not willing, I thought of that time, Even if I proclaim myself emperor by force, no one will object, right? In this way, the rule of the Oss family will really disappear from the inside out."

Claire sat down slowly, without saying a word.

What Zhuo Jun said is very reasonable. He is an outsider proclaiming himself emperor, and his reputation is not right. But if he really overthrew King Oss VI, no one would dare to oppose him in the face of great strength. It's just work.And as the king of the county, the well-known royal family, if he came forward to say something, it would save Zhuo Jun these troubles, and at the same time, the Os Empire did not change hands on the surface.

All it takes is a word from him.Although no one would believe it, someone from the royal family must say this sentence, that's why Zhuo Jun approached him.

After thinking for a long time, Claire laughed dejectedly, and Zhuo Jun couldn't help but look sideways. Could it be that this person couldn't stand the stimulation and was crazy?

Subconsciously picking up the cup, Krell realized that the tea in the cup had been drunk inadvertently.Krell sighed slightly. He knew that he could not prevent the demise of the Os Empire whether he agreed or not. Instead, he was not as beautiful as an adult. Anyway, he could see the scene of the collapse of Oss VI and the strange demons. He also has no regrets.

Claire's eyes became firmer: "I agree!"

"It's very kind of you to agree. I thank you for your kindness on behalf of the people of Oss!" Zhuo Jun stood up and saluted.

Claire waved his hand slightly, and Moore glanced at Claire, feeling that the county king was a bit pitiful, because he could make Zhuo Jun salute, which meant that he would be tricked by him next time.

Sure enough, Zhuo Jun said lightly: "Oh, yes, there is one more thing. We need the help of the elves, the northern barbarians and the Quentin Empire in the future war, so it must be interesting after the war...Give them each a piece Land. I believe that your mind will not mind this, anyway, the Aussie Empire will not belong to your relatives in the future."

Krell was so angry that he almost passed out, what does this mean?Thinking of cutting land before you fight?Can this little kid really be better than King Oss VI?But there is no way, all the words have been spoken, compared to treason, cession of land is really a small problem... After glaring at Zhuo Jun, Krell bowed his head and sighed resignedly.

After all the issues have been communicated, Zhuo Jun and his party intend to leave.When Zhuo Jun was about to leave, Krell stopped him again: "After talking for a long time, everything is based on the premise of victory in the war. The living dead and the strange demons are not easy to get along with, and the coalition failed before. It hurt morale once, can it really succeed this time?"

Zhuo Jun smiled slightly: "Believe me, even if it's for my emperor's dream, it will definitely succeed!"

In the following days, when Oss VI and Buffmifu were still huddled in the imperial city and dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Dream, the various countries and forces outside had already begun to communicate frequently with messengers.

The first place Zhuo Jun visited was the Quentin Imperial City. The second master was very interested in war, and he had always implemented the principle that the Quentin Empire, which was supported by war, had no loss and would not return it. Basically, they hit it off.However, when he learned that Zhuo Jun planned to become emperor, the second master expressed doubts about the future of the Aussie Empire.Seeing Moore's acquiescing attitude towards this, the second master sighed, people in love really have no brains, and Moore didn't think about it, is his Zhuo Jun that material?

At the same time, in Quentin Imperial City, Zhuo Jun also recruited some people from the Wizards Guild and the Bounty Hunters Guild. These people said that the Oss Empire does not belong to Oss VI alone, and they must return to their original territory!Linton has successfully won Dorothy during this time, and the Belle family came forward, and almost all the magicians responded in unison.

It's a pity that the bounty hunters' guild is not very strong. Only a part of the bounty hunters' spontaneous team is willing to follow Zhuo Jun to conquer the world.As for those high-level people wearing masks, Zhuo Jun couldn't find them at all, so he could only call them cowards and give up.

Not long after, Ren of the northern barbarians, Sean of the elves, and representatives from various countries gathered at the headquarters of the Eternal God Council in the Rhodes Kingdom to discuss the matter of the second coalition attack.

During the discussion, the undead naturally became the biggest talking point, because the first time they failed was because of the endless army of undead.

When Xiao En took out the spring water containing the power of nature in the gem forest and poured it on a captured undead, the undead wailed and fell to the ground, his body decayed rapidly, and there was no black magic self-explosion before death.

Everyone was shocked at first, and then boiled, and everyone had a confident expression on their faces.This time, they are bound to eliminate the strange demons and the ignorant Oss VI.
