Pivot of the Sky

When Gilgamesh entered Barren City, Faust was also instructed to arrive in the Assyrian Empire's new companion, the city of Doris, the chief high priest of the Empire, who sealed such an important ceremony as the Queen, and should of course preside over it. Surprisingly, Faust brought in another Queen Semir.

Sinah was unhappy that, although he had not consulted Semir on his decision to marry Princess Xiao Xi, he also wished to marry first and then modify the imperial decree at the same time as the fait accompli had been created. He didn't blame Faustus publicly, but asked Samir, "How did you get here when the battle on the Duke Plains was bad? ”

Samir replied, "I'm here to ask Your Majesty, do you want to abolish me as another queen, or do you want to marry Princess Xiao Xi? If you were to marry a princess, I think I should be present, as the wise master of the state has requested. If you want to abolish the Queen, I want to hear it in person. What's my fault? ”

Sinah looked a little embarrassed, tried to seize it, but held on again, and waved: "White, you have to show me my empire blueprint. ”

The great magician of the court, Wyatt, bowed to the center of the inner temple, waving his staff to show the crowd a light shadow, which appeared as if it were a battle sand tray, then unfolded as a three-dimensional topographical map of the heavenly pivot, with different areas marked with different colors.

The golden area is the border of the original Assyrian Empire, and the city of Niewa is a golden highlight, with two yellow areas, one of the six newly occupied cities of the Kingdom of Baron, and the location of the city of Lisbon is also shown by a golden dot. Another piece, bordered by the Assyrian Empire through the Assyrian plateau, covers half of the northern part of the thousand livo soil of the Tuku plain, and the location of the city of Salem is also indicated by a gold dot.

Obviously, that yellow area of the Duke Plains is the land that the Assyrian Empire plans to occupy, and the city of Salem already belongs to the Assyrian Empire in the mind of Emperor Sinah.

Even more intriguing is the fact that the map also contains a pink area, extending not only to the present borders of the Kingdom of Baron, but also to the west, encompassing the land of the former Kingdom of Baron in the West Bank, the former city of Marduk, occupied by the Kingdom of Hati, and the southern part of the entire Duke Plains.

This is the vision of Sinah for the Assyrian Empire, not only to take control of the entire Kingdom of Baron, but also to extend the sphere of influence across the West Bank of the Little Bottom River to occupy the entire Duke Plains. Until then, it will be an unprecedented great empire, in which the Junior Bottom, the River Reese and the Assyrian plateau from which they originated will be within.

In addition to Semir, Faust and White, the Imperial Chancellor Alpha and the commanders of the two regiments on the front line sit in this inner palace. Sinah pointed at the blueprint and said to Samir, "Did you see the location of the three gold dots above? It is the three capital cities of the Empire, not to mention the city of Nineveh, where we are now living with the city of Doris, where Queen Si will live in the palace, symbolizing the reign of the Assyrian Empire over the Kingdom of Baron. ”

Samir frowned slightly and asked, "What about the other capital? Who did you prepare it for? ”

Sinah laughed, "For my queen, you! That's another capital city I'm going to build, where you'll have the most gorgeous palaces and temples, and the palace of the Tucker Plains is yours. ”

The look on Semir's face did not reveal any surprise. “Your Majesty, your thoughts are thoughtful. ”

Sinah repeatedly pointed to the location of Salem City, saying: "The Battle of the Giant Legion has failed, but the war in the Kingdom of Baron has subsided, and I will soon move the elite legions into the Plains of Turk, crushing the resistance of Salem City. The northern part of the Duke Plains is the new frontier of the Assyrian Empire, as long as the city of Salem is captured. In addition to the existing city of Enrique and the city of Salem, two areas, east and west, are sufficient for the development of three new cities. By then, I will have built a new capital and palace for you, my Queen Samir. ”

The crowd rose to salute: "The great king, the invincible Assyrian Emperor, the whole continent will bow under your majesty. ”

Faust frowned in the dark and this blueprint clearly outlines Sinah's ambition, and his strategic plan is clearly to go in three steps. The first step was to seize the eastern part of the Lisbon River in the Kingdom of Baron and the northern part of the Duke Plains, which is now largely achieved, with the only “minor error” being the failure to successfully break through the city of Salem.

The second step is close to success: control the entire kingdom of Baron through Princess Si, marry her as queen, and make her Queen Baron. Sinah presents such a strategic blueprint in public as a reassurance and a warning to Semir that a new capital will be built for her and for her, symbolizing domination of the new frontiers of the Duke Plains, and also as a reminder to Semir not to mess up, marrying Princess Siu is the strategy of the Empire.

Samir did not say anything, excusing the tiredness of travelling long distances after the Great War, and withdrew from the occasion of the monarch's celebration, while the ministers offered their blessings and blessings to Sinah the Great on their turn.

Queen Samir withdrew and Sinah was very dissatisfied. The queen has been very cold with him in recent years, barely even smiling, under the pretext of practicing high-end somatology and not even living with him. But Sinah has always been able to give way for a simple reason. It is much more important than a woman, a Class IX warrior who is almost invincible on the battlefield, not to mention the fact that this warrior and Her Majesty the Queen are extremely inspired by the morale of the Imperial Army.

Watching Semir leave, Sinah whispered to Faust: "Master Sage, the queen seems in a bad mood, why did you let her come? ”

“Your Majesty, if she doesn't come at this moment, she'll be even more unhappy afterwards," said Faust with a smile. "Why don't you just let it go? This is the true style of the Great Emperor! Perhaps you don't know much about women, and Queen Semir doesn't want a new palace built specifically for her. ”

Sinah looked at Faust and said, "Oh? Do you know women better than I do, Master Wise State Teacher, who has always been single and clean? ”

Faust lowered his head: “Maybe I don't understand either. ”

……

Princess Siu's convoy spent more than a dozen days on the road, overnight in the last town of the West Bank, and the next day crossed the river into the Assyrian-occupied state of Lisbon, the new border between the Assyrian and Baron empires. The presence of heavy Sinah soldiers at the East Coast ferry awaits, and the princess of greeting is in fact displaying force.

Just that night, in a mountainous jungle not far from the Reese River ferry, the great magician Jacques led a group of clerics and samurai quietly camped. They didn't make a fire, the weapon glistened in the dark, and were discussing plans to assassinate Princess Xiaoxi night after night. These people have to do it before they cross the river, and when Princess Xiao Xi crosses the river, they don't have a chance.

In the moonlight, there is a sand tray model in the middle of the open space, exactly where they arranged the ambush, which is a valley road between the two mountains, with a string of pebbles representing the convoy and the guard escorting Princess Xiao Xi. Jacques pointed to the sand pan: “Almost to the Reese River ferry, so many days are safe, it should be their most relaxed time.

The most elite escort in the convoy was the Assyrian Imperial Battle Corps, which walked ahead and was led by a great warrior, followed by a group of warriors from the Kingdom of Baron, with Princess Xiaoxi's escort in the centre. We do not have to fight all the guards, choosing the narrowest part of the road to suddenly strike from the middle.

Once obtained, it was quickly dispersed into the mountains as planned, and no one was allowed to stay. I have arranged for good men to spread information within the kingdom, and some will say that Princess Si committed suicide, while others will say that Princess Si was assassinated by Assyrian military fanatics. ”

A cleric nodded next to him: "We have spread the word that the Assyrian military has attempted to assassinate Princess Sinah, so let Sinah find out for herself.... We put down the magic array on the mountain. Before we do it, we suddenly destroy the mountain rock truncation convoy. We must resolve it quickly.... but the great magician Perry next to the princess couldn't handle it, and now I hear there's another meddling Medanzo. ”

Another interjected: “Leave it to me, Lord Jacques and General Ace to haunt Medanzo. Others attack the princess's carriage with all their might. Don't fall in love after you get it. When the front and rear guards react, it's all over.” This man wears a sword in his face and looks dressed like a samurai, but the voice is supposed to be hidden by the great magician.

He joined the assassination team, but he didn't come to assassinate the princess. Jacques wanted to set a trap on the mountain road to cut off the princess's convoy. He didn't know that the plan had been known in Perry this morning, and there was a trap waiting for Jacques to hook up. The priests that Jacques brought from the Baron Academy of Theology, as well as the dead soldiers of the Baron Legion, will be wiped out in the mountains, and Prince von Nyu will carry the charge of assassinating the princess's messenger behind the scenes.

Discussing the assassination plan with Jacques to make sure that every detail would not be omitted and that the corner of his mouth could not help but reveal a laugh, as if he had seen himself working with Paris to capture Jacques alive. It was at this point that Jacques suddenly raised his head and made a vigilant gesture, and everyone stopped the voice and picked up the weapon.

“Relax, it's me, His Highness Prince Von Nyu sent me!” A group of samurai came out of the far jungle, followed by a dozen array of clerics, right in the middle of which was Robin, Commander of the Baron Legion and General of the Kingdom.

Jackay was surprised and put away his staff and prayed: "Sir Captain, how did you find this place? ”

Robin replied, "His Highness the Prince already knew what you were up to. A bunch of clerics and samurai suddenly disappeared. How could they not be noticed? He had ordered me to keep an eye on your actions, and His Highness had forgiven you for your plot to assassinate the Princess of the Kingdom, but the prerequisite was to stop immediately and not to implement it! ”

Jackay said in a bit of a hurry: "But you should also understand why I did it. Now that everything is ready, you just need to..."

Robin interrupted him with a nail cut: “I have found this place. Can you guarantee that the Assyrian Empire did not think of you? If you really do assassinate, you will most likely just die and put His Highness the Prince at a disadvantage. I am here to carry out His Highness's orders. If you do not want to treason, come back with me now! ”

He was disappointed to see Robin show up and realized that his plan to set a trap to hook Jackie and others had failed. Jackay was somewhat uncomfortable with the secret, but their samurai came to see the commander of the regiment and took the latest order from His Royal Highness. He had bowed his head, and the assassination was declared bankrupt without action.

……

The next morning, when Princess Siu's convoy departed again, Medanzo noticed something was wrong. Instead of sitting in the original car, the princess switched a carriage guarded by the Dark Cloth Magic Array and mixed it up in a dowry convoy. Many of the guards also hid their weapons in the convoy, and some new faces unexpectedly appeared in the team. They all looked like masters. They were dressed as ordinary samurai on both sides of the convoy. This was obviously an ambush waiting for the assassin to come to the door!

Medanzo asked him what was going on in Paris, which told him that there was a narrow road between the two mountains ahead, (yes) the most suitable terrain for ambushing assassinations, so be prepared in advance in case something happened. Medanzo didn't say much. Today should be his last day escorting Princess Xiao Xi. He came here to protect the princess's safety. Of course, it's better to be prepared.

Shortly after the team left, it did enter a mountain road. The mountains on both sides of the narrow valley road are steep and ideal for ambushing.

But until the convoy walked out of the mountains, it was always quiet and nothing happened. When the convoy arrived in the plains, another group of samurai were drilled in the thick woods on both sides, and the leader shook his head towards Cripes, apparently meaning that nothing had been discovered. It seems that not only are the convoys ready, but even the mountains are ambushed, and if the assassins really choose to do it here, they will probably be knocked out of the net.

After walking out of the mountains into the plains, Princess Xiaoxi returned to her carriage, just ahead of the Reese River ferry. Medanzo was still wearing a red robe and riding a white horse next to the princess's car, and the two samurai drilled out of the jungle joined the convoy to see their faces relieved.

At this point, people heard dense horseshoes again, and the guards couldn't help but get nervous. Metanzo looked back and saw a team bearing the flag of Prince Von Button approaching from behind.

They blatantly lit up the flag, and Prince Von Nyu himself came, which obviously could not have been assassinated. Only one voice drank: “Princess, Prince Feng Nyu came to see you off!” The caller is Robin, the Legion Commander of the Baron Legion.

The convoy stopped and Prince Feng Nyu approached Princess Xiao Xi's carriage from the side. Princess Xi opened the curtains and asked: "My dear nephew, how did you get here? ”

Prince Feng Nyu prayed on his horse's back: "My dear aunt, you must marry far away. Feng Nyu is very reluctant. Worried a few days ago that the state couldn't get you there in time, I deliberately chased you to the border today. I would like to personally escort you to the ferry and host a feast at the ferry for the warriors of the Assyrian Empire to express my gratitude on behalf of the Kingdom of Baron! ”

Princess Xiao Xi smiled and looked at him and waved: “It's rare that you feel this way and chased me this far! Come, take my car, we'll go to the ferry together. ”

Prince Feng Nyu turned around and stepped down: “My nephew wanted to ask to ride with my aunt.” Leaving his guard, he boarded Princess Xiaoxi's carriage, which besides him and the princess had two maids beside him.

Prince Feng Nyu was driving with Princess Xiao Xi, and Medanzo was listening to what Feng Nyu and Xiao Xi would say in the car? As soon as Prince Feng Nyu sat down, he said frankly: "My aunt, I have my men who tried to assassinate you. The original plan was set for today. Fortunately, I discovered it in time and stopped it. ”

Princess Xiaoxi sighed and lowered her head, not knowing what she looked like. "I can understand why they're doing that. Thank you very much for stopping this! Perhaps a successful assassination of me would be more beneficial to your place in the kingdom. ”

Prince Vonnew shook his head: “Whatever happened between us, you are innocent at this moment. On the other hand, your marriage to Sinah, for whatever reason, may not be a bad thing for the Kingdom of Baron. ”

Princess Xiaoxi glanced at her nephew, two years older than her, and said profoundly: “Those of you who want to assassinate me are not only unlikely to succeed, but of no benefit to you. If you really have this kind of opportunity, be careful what you arrange next time, don't let people be prepared in advance, but it's a trap for you. ”

Prince von Nyu in the car and Medanzo outside the car were intimately surprised. Princess Xiao Xi's words were a clear reminder that the assassination plan had long been leaked. In such a covert operation, he was actually mixed with the traitor of the Assyrian Empire. This reminder also seems a little sad, because Princess Xiao Xi is also suggesting that Feng Nyu - if you really want to assassinate me, you can't make this leak, if you don't have the ability, don't do it! How can you be a good king if you can't do anything like that?

Princess Xiao Xi's conversation with Prince Feng Nyu, the watchmen of Perry and the Assyrian Empire heard every single word clearly. If Prince Feng Nyu gave her something or conveyed a message, even if it was just written on paper to Princess Xiao Xi, the reconnaissance magic array in the carriage could be explored at any time, and they did not have the opportunity to discuss any conspiracy.

When the convoy arrived at the ferry, Prince Feng Nu himself helped Princess Xiao Xi to get off the carriage. At this moment, Princess Xiao Xi's expression suddenly became frozen - Feng Nu did have an arrangement! He grabbed her arm and got out of the car, gently brushing her back when he let go. Princess Xiao Xi had one thing missing and one more thing.

This is a decorative sequin that the princess adheres to her nails and is made of a thin, curved shell that looks great. Prince von Nyu replaced one of them, and the new deck was still as unbroken as before. But this album was treated by special magic, containing a divine message that disappeared as soon as it was sent, and the content was a word that only Xiaoxi could hear when it sounded in her soul ——
