Chapter 173 You can't look down on yourself
After the order was finished, Emperor Raffaran's face became even more worried: "What about the rest of the countries?"
The prime minister bowed and said, "I don't know yet. This is not an isolated case, but a premeditated large-scale destruction. I think the rest of the countries will not be spared."
"Do you know all countries?" After thinking about it, the emperor suddenly asked, "What's wrong with the Void Kingdom?"
"Latest news, they seem to have found a Death General's nest and are attacking with all their might. I heard that they have the absolute upper hand."
"Oh! Finally there is good news. Sometimes I really envy these small and medium-sized planes. Just close the door and you can build it in a stable manner."
"Once the protective cover of small and medium-sized planes fails, it has no strategic depth. Then..." the prime minister did not continue.
The space shield is not invincible either. When the other party uses more powerful force, such as a small plane made of the Void Stone as a weapon, the space shield that can destroy small individuals is only a soap bubble, and it will be broken with one poke.
The emperor smiled: "I understand! Your Excellency Kong Xu's ascension to the throne is ahead of time?"
“Before January 15.”
"It's hard for him, please double the gift list."
"clear!"
On the other hand, after clearing out the underground palace of the Death Minister Yepur, Kong Xu disbanded most of the troops and redistributed them to various regions. Spring is about to begin, and maintaining the gathering of the army during the spring plowing period is a fatal blow to agriculture.
He had to arrange enough defense at the place just in case.
As a time traveler, he was very aware of the evolution of the situation.
"The last blow of the three-combo strike is coming!" Kong Xu pondered for a moment, and finally decided to push the last blow himself. He called Daisy, and then a young man was arranged in late at night and met Kong Xu.
The Void Territory's ascension ceremony is underway. When Kong Xu officially ascended the throne, the Void Territory will be upgraded to the Void Kingdom, and the titles of each person will officially rise.
Originally, this would have been a very grand scene, but the severe riots broke out in various countries diluted the festive atmosphere.
From the perspective of a time traveler, this is the "Toutiao" that was stolen.
Six empires, more than four-digit towns were attacked by Shadow Skeletons, and more than ten thousand people died. In fact, due to the backwardness of the statistical system and the delay in communication, the real death toll exceeded 500,000 in the first month.
In some knight leaders, there are often tragic situations where a jade skeleton is led by a group of soldiers and skeletons in the entire territory.
There is no harm without comparison. The skeletons that can project over the defense line at will certainly cause headaches for all countries, but the real disaster is the distortion monster.
Because of the existence of the Knight Temple in this world, war horses will be properly buried when they die. The soul nature that is biased towards the light makes it difficult for the overlord Ariza to create a death knight or an undead war horse through remote control, which in turn leads to the shadow skeletons appearing in various countries being basically infantry.
Everyone has two legs, and civilians at least have a chance to escape.
Distortion monsters are different. These twisted monsters that use devouring flesh and blood as growth materials may eat a dog and will go from walking on two legs to running on four legs.
Their snowball-like playing style is not good in remote towns, because these guys will go crazy to devour their companions.
However, in densely populated areas, once a city falls, more than 100,000 distorted monster army will be generated.
The latest news on January 9 was that the main city of the Duke of Sandra in the southern basin of Torus fell. In just three days, the entire Duke of the Duke became the old nest of the distorted monster, and even the Duke's family was eaten up.
When the Torus royal family sent a master-level fire mage to suppress, another misunderstanding of burning a city that has not yet completely fallen.
It was not a complete mistake. After all, even the fortress where the city lord was located was covered with distortion monsters. Who would have thought that after a Dawn Church in the west of the city was closed with a solid wall and sealed the windows, several powerful Dawn priests, led a group of escort soldiers and militias, withstood the impact of the hundred-fold distortion monster?
The mage's wide-area attack destroyed the last persistence of the people. When the mage found that the church could open the golden protective cover, he stopped in shock. At this time, the flames just burned the church's fortifications. What the mage shouldn't have been, he ran away in fear at this time. This was equivalent to giving most of the survivors in the church to the distortion monster as snacks.
Looking back, the Torus royal family tried to cover up the matter, but was exposed by the survivors of the church. For a moment, the relationship between the Dawn Church and the Torus royal family fell to freezing point.
To make matters worse, the Torrus royal family announced that they would refuse to reduce the taxes paid to the royal family in various places during the New Year arrangements.
Crown Prince Dioff expressed his views at the imperial meeting.
"It is the duty of the lords of various places to guard the territory and defend the people. Those who cannot perform their duties are not qualified to be lords. Their fiefdoms should be taken back by the royal family."
"My country has just achieved a brilliant victory over the demons. This is a great cause that the entire empire and even all mankind should fully support. The royal family has not imposed war taxes on all lords, which is already a great pity for everyone. Why should the royal family be responsible for the incompetent lords?"
According to the aristocratic tradition, this approach is nothing special.
But few nobles were willing to admit that the feudal knight aristocratic system was already behind.
When a full-scale war is required to resist foreign enemies, it is impossible to defend three hundred acres of land by just one knight leading a knight and a dozen militias. One earl and one thousand soldiers are useless.
Faced with the full-scale attack of the distorted monster mercury, the traditional recruitment method has long been out of place. Unless there are some powerful people in the gold level or above who can turn the situation around with their own strength, it will become inevitable to fall.
In just one month, there were as many as 137 cities in Torus. At this time, Emperor Torus and the Crown Prince panicked.
It was in such an environment that Kong Xu began his own throne ceremony.
On the 15th, Prim got up early in the morning and personally directed the maid and the ritual officer to "abuse" Kong Xu.
"I will use magic lamps today. The lights are too bright, and you have to apply some makeup, otherwise you will look like a ghost."
"Barber, give your Majesty more wax to make your hair stand up and look taller."
The queen is now like a housekeeper.
"Is it possible to be so exaggerated..." Kong Xu was a guy with the soul of the Celestial Empire after all, and he obviously lacked his understanding of this kind of suffering.
Especially in his previous life, he was just a home staying at home and playing games. When he was placed on a chair like a salted fish and allowed a lot of makeup artists, beauticians, and hairdressers to fiddle with him, there was a ritual officer in his ear teaching him etiquette and other things, which he was very uncomfortable!
