Chapter 172 Invitation and Exploration
The Central Empire of Humanity, the Holy Tower of the Royal Capital.
Now it is the center of the storm.
The assassination of the wise king has caused the whole city to be in a state of panic. Everyone knows that the undercurrent of terror is surging in this city. If you are not careful, you will be caught in it, crushed, and crushed into pieces.
It was under such circumstances. There was a woman who was so conspicuous.
She was wearing an extremely gorgeous red and gold-rimmed dress, holding a scepter inlaid with gems in her hand. She walked on the street so swaggeringly. Heading all the way to the direction of the palace.
To hold a banquet and entertain everyone you can think of in the world? Then you naturally need a venue, and this venue - there is no place more suitable than the palace.
Before she arrived at the palace, she never put down the scepter in her hand.
"I am Lastina! The daughter of the former president of the Gold Seeking Chamber of Commerce. Now I have left the Gold Seeking Chamber of Commerce and am acting on behalf of the will of the great Demon King! Today, I come here holding the Demon King's scepter! Symbolizing the great Demon King, where the scepter is, the Demon King is there!"
She continued to move forward, and the soldiers in front of the palace did not dare to stop her.
The word Demon King was so heavy that it made people dare not breathe.
She walked into the depths of the palace.
Then, she sat on the empty throne: "In the name of the Demon King , I invite all people who care about the world to come here for a meeting. Everyone is welcome. Let's share the banquet and discuss the world!"
She is definitely not qualified to sit on this throne, but holding the Demon King's scepter, she has such qualifications. It is better to say that this throne is not worthy of her identity. Even if this is the palace of the Human Central Empire, even if all the ministers here are human ministers, and she represents the Demon King who needs to be eliminated - she still directly issued such an order.
Because - no one dares not to fulfill it.
When the hero did not express his will, no one could resist the order of the Demon King.
The fear of being dominated by the Demon King emerged in everyone's heart. The peaceful time was like a dream.
Everyone knew clearly that the Demon King was back.
It was humans themselves who did not cherish peace.
The short dream-like life was about to end.
Someone would pass the news here to those who were qualified to know the news here.
The meeting held in the name of the Demon King - those who did not go would naturally lose another qualification.
The Demon King could decide who to kick out of the order of the world's dominance and wipe out any person from the world.
The only exception was the hero.
But the hero did not appear.
So, even if the girl sitting here was just a girl named Lastina, and many people present even knew her... it was the same. She came with the will of the Demon King. Those who disrespected her were disrespectful to the Demon King - humans had long been disloyal to the Demon King, but now, the life and death of the wise king was unknown.
"Follow the order of the Demon King!"
Many palace ministers bent their knees, accepted the task of the Demon King, and conveyed the will of the Demon King.
...
Doro didn't go to the capital for the time being.
According to the result of his discussion with Lastina, they will meet again in ten days - the banquet will start in ten days, which is enough time for the "strong men" from all over the world to rush to the capital.
With Lastina's will to stop the war, Doro disguised himself and came to the area where the rebels were.
From the time Duke Reggus launched the rebellion to now, the army has reached the edge of Duke Reggus's territory - in fact, a war has already broken out in his territory. After all, some nobles said, "I am loyal to the wise king, not you, Reggus, you are asking for death, don't drag me down!" and launched an attack on Reggus.
But usually, the leaders of such wars will not die.
Doro didn't know much about this situation, so he came to the battlefield.
The war among humans -
before, all the major races united and launched a war against the demons. He was always on the battlefield, always scheming against the demons, always thinking about how to defeat the demons and the demon king - now, he has to look at it with a different eye, observe it with a different eye, and see how humans fight each other and how they fight among themselves.
What does this mean to the people in the territory?
"Young man, are you also a refugee?"
An old woman saw Duo Luo, so she said, "The resistance army is cooking for everyone. If you go too late, you will be hungry today!"
"Cooking?"
Duo Luo was stunned for a moment: "Where?"
"Over there!"
Following the direction pointed by the old woman, Duo Luo moved over.
"One bowl per person, no cutting in line, no repeating!"
Cooking for the people?
Duo Luo felt a little relieved. This was the scene he expected to see. It was a good thing that there was no disappointing scene.
However,
the portion of rice was not very large, but it was quite good to be able to eat it for free.
After finishing the meal, someone said to Duo Luo,
"Boy, you look strong! Why don't you join us? We are going to the capital! When the time comes, we will capture the capital! We will be promoted and given titles! I am afraid we can also become people in power like the masters!"
People in power like the masters? You mean the nobles?
"Is this possible?"
"Why not?" The man immediately said, "Don't think that we are the rebels or something, we are loyal to the Demon King! Do we need to say more about the weight of the word Demon King?"
Loyalty to the Demon King... Moher would not do such a thing. The man seemed to have no interest in the legion. The gargoyle army under the mansion was created by Lisiduowei before, thinking that Xia Di's crusade was coming.
"But, it's only been more than ten years since the major races rebelled against the Demon King's rule..."
"What major races rebelled against the Demon King's rule? That was all made up by the old bastard, the Wise King! There has never been such a history! It's just that the Wise King's shameless humans are trying to cover up the truth of history! Our great Duke Reggus couldn't tolerate such a thing! That's why he angrily assassinated the Wise King and raised the flag of resistance!"
Duo Luo was stunned. He suddenly realized that the young man who was talking to him seemed to be in his teens and less than 20 years old. When he overthrew the Demon King, he might have been learning to speak - so he didn't think there was a history of demons ruling the world. Since he had a clear understanding of the world, this world is ruled by humans.
So, are all the people here like this?
No——
"I see."
He did not argue with such a young man, but said: "I am old, and it is really a death wish to fight again. Do you need a cook here? My cooking skills are not bad!"
"Cook? Uncle, you can cook! I will tell my boss right away!"
After a few tests, Duo Luo became the cook of such a resistance army.
"You called Duo Luo——Come and help, we need to prepare the ingredients for tomorrow!"
In fact, it was just slicing potatoes and the like, but the workload was relatively large. After all, there were many people eating.
Duo Luo was very quick.
"Duolo! You've done a great job!"
"Thank you."
"Boss, I have a question."
While working, Duolo gradually started chatting with others: "Do we still have a lot of food in stock?"
Hearing Duolo's words, the head chef asked with a little vigilance: "Why are you asking this?"
"I'm just wondering, if we didn't have a lot of food, why would we give it to others every day? Ah... I also ate it, of course I'm very grateful, but, are our resistance soldiers fat?"
"Do you think we look fat?"
Duolo glanced at these cooks and the leftovers of the cooks, and they were actually quite thin. Generally speaking, cooks are considered to be easy to gain weight. But they are a little different.
"We don't have that much food! It's just that Lord Reggus asked us to represent the will of both the brave man and the Demon King, so we must love the people around us - I don't really understand his idea, but it's not easy to win a battle in this way. War is a cruel thing."
Dora was puzzled when he heard his words: "You are..."
"I have participated in the war against the Demon King. At that time, I was not the head chef, just like you, helping here, listening to the situation of the war... At that time, the brave man led the major races to defeat the Demon King. Now, the Demon King and the brave man are mixed together - sometimes I really don't understand the world, but. Generally speaking, if you encounter it, you encounter it. There is no way to become a refugee. You can only try your best to survive."
Dora couldn't comment on this.
The chef continued, "If you must say, the rebels are good. At least you won't go against your conscience when you work for them. If you lose, you lose. No matter what Duke Reggus thinks, at least we can do this job with peace of mind. Even if we eat less, we won't starve to death. It seems to be good."
Duke Reggus -
is this an open conspiracy?
No, it's a bit too much to describe it as "conspiracy". Duke Reggus almost wrote his own thoughts on his face, and his meaning was very clear.
"I'm making a gesture to you, the brave man. Do you want to recognize a legion like mine?"
Even if it was a gesture made for him to see, at least the gesture was made. Even if he didn't recognize such a legion, he would not take action against it, let alone deny the name of this legion.
Reggus's rebellion is indeed full of "justice" at this moment.
But can such a justice be maintained for a long time?
Duke Reggus, his resistance -
according to Moher, this was instructed by the wise king, and the reason for the wise king's instruction was because of his actions in the Elf Kingdom...
He still didn't quite understand the logic behind it, but...
he still had a few days to stay here for a while, and then go there for a while to truly experience the will of the warring parties.
