Chapter 1255 (1/2)
Sean has been missing for more than five months, almost half a year.
In the past six months, the void Empire has completely grown into a real behemoth.
And all this is due to one person.
The queen of Phoenix, or now it should be called the queen of Phoenix: Cecilia Connery.
Under the decision of her majesty, the void Empire now presents a grand occasion of steaming upward.
The North allied with the Millennium alliance Empire to form an imperial alliance to resist the skeleton army.
South China and the qainas Empire were divided into * * * kingdoms and signed a non aggression treaty.
East to help the Principality of Garrod fight back against the loss of land by the combined forces of Robyn and karosha.
In the wild land of siton, the tribes became ministers and prevented the coalition forces from outside the Great Wall.
She even helped Princess ferheath to calm the civil strife in the kingdom of lane, extricate the military headquarters of Prince Adams of the kingdom of lane, who was trapped in the tide of death, and completely strangle all the unstable risk factors of the kingdom of lane - the existence of Adams is an important factor for the stability of the northern part of the kingdom of lane, and he is also the only remaining blood relative of ferheath, Both public and private, ferheath didn't want to see Adams die.
It is precisely because of this that Cecilia asked William to lead the army to rescue Adams and his oath corps at the request of ferheath's efforts and in line with a strategic plan of the Millennium alliance empire. However, as a condition, the great prince with a rough life can only sit in the north of lane kingdom all his life, and his descendants can never compete for the successor of lane kingdom.
Adams had nothing to say about it because he knew he had no choice.
Especially when the void empire is becoming more and more powerful, blatantly challenging the authority of the void empire is death.
After Verhees took over the throne of the kingdom of Ryan, the first thing she did was to give tonis fortress to the void Empire and recognize the identity of the sovereign state of the void empire. At the same time, she also gave all the territory of the former kingdom of dabion to Athena and upgraded the Principality of garod of Athena to the kingdom of garod.
Cecilia would certainly not refuse these acts of kindness.
Just before she left, she glanced at fursis, the woman known as Ryan's heart. But in the end, Cecilia didn't say anything. She just nodded slightly to acknowledge the kindness of fergies, and then returned to the void Empire, because she had too many things to deal with. At her present status, princesses of the Kingdom like fergies could not enter her eyes.
If Sean had not had a quarrel with Ryan Kingdom and had inherited Athena's love, Cecilia would not have helped Ryan Kingdom solve these problems.
Diana and Haila left with Cecilia, and only two were in charge of security.
Although there were only two people, no matter who they were, they would never make Cecilia's idea.
There was no other reason, because the two men in charge of security work, one named Alexis and the other named kokirei.
As for tungsten Lamo, it sits in oasis city.
It's no secret that the void Empire has three super powers.
Perhaps for some big empires, the details of the three super powers are still a little thin after all, but if only in terms of combat power, I'm afraid no one dares to challenge the void Empire except the five ancient empires. Not to mention anything else, Alexis alone can deal with at least three super strong people, and kokirei may not be able to deal with two, but dealing with one alone is definitely a victory. As for tungsten Lamo, he can also solve one super strong person alone.
Therefore, if you want to fight against the void Empire, you can't eat this powerful behemoth without more than seven super giants.
With seven super strong empires, I'm afraid there are only three empires left in the world: the qainas Empire, the Millennium covenant and the Emilia empire.
Before, the St. Joels empire was also an empire that could send more than seven super strong men. However, since the fate of the northern continent, the St. Joels Empire has been a man with its tail clamped for a long time. Today's St. Joels empire is faced with two enemies: the border friction with the Maggie Empire continues, and the new Northern Kingdom integrated by the God of war church has been eyeing it. If there is a chance, the new Northern Kingdom, which is now completely in power by the saint Emily of the God of war Church, will never let go.
Of course, even if there are seven super strong men who can contain the top combat power of the void Empire, it also needs a strong army.
In this way, only the qainas Empire and the Emilia empire are left who are really qualified to fight the void empire. The Millennium alliance is now dragged down by the army of bones, and the casualties are quite heavy. Even if you really have the ability to fight, you will never fight with the void empire. Of course, the secrets involved in this are not known to outsiders.
Therefore, this is also the reason why the countries around the void empire are either United or attached to the void empire.
Cecilia, after Sean started a new era, perfected the rules of this new era for him: the balance rule of the law of the jungle.
The eight empires check and balance each other, and no one will lightly start the war, which gives many weak and small countries a certain living space. Everything is like returning to the era when the peace parliament still exists: either holding together or depending. Of course, in fact, there is still a certain gap with the era of the peace parliament, but at least there is no sense of despair that makes other countries powerless.
However, with the growing strength of the void Empire, unity is only a way to perish. Perhaps in this new era, small countries can escape extinction only by becoming vassals.
In the foreseeable future, the miracle continent will inevitably evolve into a situation in which major empires restrict each other.
Because of this, those super first-class kingdoms that have the strength to move forward to the Empire are also growing madly, because they all know that once the power pattern is determined, they will never have a chance to become a big empire in the future. At least, now that these countries have determined the imperial pattern, they will never allow new countries to challenge their status and authority.
This is a phenomenon that did not exist in the era of the existence of the peace Parliament: a prosperous scene of a hundred schools of thought.
As for whether this prosperity is true or false, no one cares.
People will only remember how powerful the void empire is today, and how can they know that Sean and Cecilia didn't even have the qualification to join those small mercenaries 15 years ago?
Today's void Empire, let alone Cecilia, who has stepped into the realm of legend.
There are three strong people at the level of town and country, including killing Wuji Alexis, truth butcher kokirei and endless reincarnation tungsten Lamo.
The next top strongmen are the Dragon Rider Wuji Reina, the winter Pope shefanio, the son of the devil Harding, the sword emperor Levi, the silver Liuhuo Eliza, the Zhongyan spirit Noro, the sword dance Ji vinia, the marksman Marton, the swordsman Fanny, the Spider Queen Shina Wolf emperor Ariana, as well as the peace messenger and golden robed executive of the former Peace Council who had been coerced by Sean to join his camp, and the legendary strong men who came to join after hearing the strong reputation of the void empire from all over the world.
These only represent the top strength of personal combat power.
In terms of the Legion, perhaps the void empire can not be compared with the old seven empires, but both the military strength and the inside information of famous generals are absolutely not weak.
In addition to the first three old troops: Thunder lion, Cecilia guards and steel wings, those who have reached the level of level 6 corps have also reached the level of level 6 corps after a series of bloody battles. As for the 500000 troops collected from the tribes in the wilderness, although there is still a lot of gap from the level of the level 5 legion, some legions have also reached the combat power level of the quasi level 5 legion, and the general level has also remained between the level 3 and level 4 legions.
In addition, the void Empire, which already has a complete reserve force replenishment system, has been constantly rectifying, expanding and forming legions that can adapt to various operational conditions and environments.
Naturally, those in charge of commanding these armies are also well-known generals in the southern continent today: such as Dwight, Alfred, Abaza, Stalin, ardorf, nock, Clov and so on.
These people are not only in charge of commanding the army. In their spare time, they even go to the Nihon University of the Nihon Empire to teach and guide military courses. The Nihon University is the first major project established after the establishment of the Nihon empire. Its purpose is to continuously train all kinds of talents for the Nihon Empire, including but not limited to military, politics, economy, culture, martial arts Magic and other major projects.
All this is due to the four giants of today's void Empire: military officer William, Strategic Officer Hella, interior officer Neil and diplomat Diana.
In addition to the fame of the four giants, in fact, it is the three small giants - the three leaders of the Intelligence Department of the void Empire: rupee, Hebrew and alikate.
All affairs in the territory of any void empire can not escape their investigation and understanding, as if there was an eye staring at them all the time. Although the void realm is not enough to easily collect the intelligence of the whole miracle continent, with the business development in the past decade, the whole southern continent is not a secret for the void empire.
All this is the real horror of the void.
Over time, the void empire can definitely be compared with the qainas empire in intelligence collection.
With the void empire so flourishing and everything on track, Cecilia no longer needs to worry about and be busy with imperial affairs. But in fact, it is not so, because in the eyes of outsiders, such a prosperous void Empire has actually hidden an undercurrent.
This undercurrent is the last thing Cecilia wants to see: faction.
During the six months of Sean's disappearance, even if the undercurrent lurks, it will not affect the situation because of the struggle for a common goal. But with the void Empire now in a situation where the overall situation has been determined, this undercurrent suddenly becomes turbulent.
The reason is simple.
There is no emperor in the void.
The void empire is a situation created by Sean. From a small territory, to the principality, to the Kingdom, and then to the Empire, it can be said that Sean has paid countless efforts to finally grow from nothing. So in any way, the first emperor of the void Empire must and can only be Sean, not anyone else. Even to put it bluntly, this is the Empire established by Sean, and the future Emperor will only be Sean's descendants.
However, with the gradual rise of the name of ”void”, many followers who joined later did not see Sean's hard side, let alone they had never fought side by side with Sean. The only thing they know is that today's void Empire has become a banner of the southern continent and even the whole miracle continent, and the queen of Phoenix Cecilia, or even the four giants of void, created all this.
Therefore, the call for Cecilia to ascend the throne is very high within the void empire.
And the Lord messenger of all this knows who he is without thinking.
Clov.
It was because he had seen the legitimacy of Cecilia's blood that he betrayed the Principality of rumbel, took refuge under Cecilia's command, and set up a dead army that was not afraid of sacrifice: Cecilia guards. Therefore, his ambition is to watch Cecilia become the king, and even hope that Cecilia will shoulder the name of the phoenix of the rumbel family again and make rumbel's reputation resound in the mainland again.
But Cecilia didn't want to fight for these all the time. She preferred to accompany Sean silently.
But at that time, because Sean was still there and Sean promised clough that he would help Cecilia recapture the Principality of rumbel one day, clough would be willing to go on an expedition for Sean. Because in his opinion, helping Sean fight for interests is also equivalent to helping Cecilia fight for interests. It is even no exaggeration to say that clough's credit can definitely account for as much as 30% in a series of major battles in the establishment of the void empire.
But now, with Sean's disappearance, Cecilia took over the Regency and became Queen of Phoenix, clough's mind naturally changed.
He began to use his influence to build momentum for Cecilia, trying to make Cecilia the first emperor of the void empire. In fact, Cecilia's external address has always been ”King” rather than ”emperor”. Clough created the name of ”Queen of Phoenix”. For the interior of the void Empire, Cecilia did not hold the throne ceremony, so naturally she could not be regarded as an emperor. However, for the outside world who did not know the truth, many people believed that Cecilia was the emperor of the void empire from the moment the name of Queen Phoenix spread.
All this, and even public opinion, was naturally done by klov.
However, he underestimated Cecilia's determination.
No matter how loud the voice is, no matter what the outside world thinks, and even clough has proposed countless enthronement ceremonies, Cecilia is still unmoved.
In this way, the stability of the void empire is naturally extremely unfavorable.
In other words, someone began to focus on the four giants.
Many people believe that the credit of the four giants is not necessarily lower than Cecilia. Now that Sean is missing, the void empire can never have an emperor. Since Cecilia is unwilling to ascend the throne, maybe the four giants will. So gradually, some people began to try to bet on the four giants, because if they won the big bet, they would be meritorious heroes of the Empire - driven by this interest, countless people would be like vultures.
However, without knowing the founding history of the void Empire, they will never know the secret hidden in it: neither Cecilia nor the four giants can compete for the throne of emperor, which is their spiritual symbol - the position of Sean Connery.
Of course, if Sean had children, even if Sean disappeared now, the old ministers who had followed Sean and witnessed the process of Sean's emergence from nothing would be happy to assist Sean's children. However, Sean suddenly disappeared without leaving any blood. No one knows where he is and what he is doing except that he is still sure that he is not dead.
This is the reason why the undercurrent is surging inside the void empire.
After returning to oasis city, the headquarters of the void Empire, Cecilia returned to the palace without any delay.
Today's oasis city, as the national capital of the void Empire, is the economic, political, cultural and military center of the entire void empire. Therefore, in this short period of nearly half a year, it has been expanded three times. Every time, before the original expansion project is completed, a new round of expansion work has to be carried out. After all, oasis city is not a floating population. Only the resident population has reached 500000, which is a real giant city.
The void palace is the palace of the void empire. It is built next to the void University.
Unlike the traditional imperial palace, which can only be inhabited by royal blood disciples, the four giants and their family heirs, town and country strongmen, top strongmen, famous generals and so on all have the qualification to stay in the void palace. In fact, the size of the void palace is much larger than the general size of the Imperial Palace, because both the void palace and the void University were built on the former site of oasis city. Its size is large enough to accommodate 100000 people. It can be called the city in the city of oasis city.
After entering the parliament hall, Alexis nodded to tungsten Lamo and turned away.
Only tungsten Lamo, with a helpless wry smile, followed Cecilia, Diana and Hella into the parliament hall.
Neil is the only one working in the parliament hall.
It's not that Neil didn't have anyone to help. On the contrary, today, Neil has more than 100 assistant officers responsible for passing Neil's decrees and decisions. However, because of Neil's efficient actions, these assistant officers have no free time at all. They are running and busy almost all the time. It can be said that becoming Neil's assistant officer is the hardest thing.
Seeing Cecilia and others coming back, Neil just glanced up, then bowed his head and continued to be busy: ”how's it going?”
”That woman is not simple.” Cecilia whispered.
”I can get your evaluation of 'not simple'. It seems that this woman named fercis is really powerful.” Neil nodded. ”It doesn't matter whether the wise king Ryan poisoned her or not. Anyway, she is the final winner.”
”She still has cards in her hand.” Hella smiled, ”but I'm afraid even she didn't think that the peace council would be destroyed by us. However, this woman is really very smart. She tied Athena to her chariot from the beginning. In this way, even if we don't help her, at least she won't stand against her. From this move of chess, she has been invincible As for the later things, well, except that the death of the third prince is in her plan, other things should be beyond her plan. ”
”What about Fanny?” Cecilia asked again.
”It has stabilized.” Neil answered, ”I have to say that we should thank her. Otherwise, legendary strong people like Fanny won't come to take refuge in us, even if we have completely gained a foothold in the southern continent.”
”What I'm curious about now is whether Flores was bought by her at the beginning, or whether he took refuge in her after the death of the wise king Ryan.” HeLa sat in her seat in the council chamber and said.
”Is there a difference?” Cecilia was a little confused for a moment.
”Lord Cecilia, there are differences.” It was Diana who opened her mouth to solve her doubts. ”If the Marquis Flores was bought first by Queen fercis, then she knew that the heir designated by the will of the throne was not her, so she poisoned her hand and asked the Marquis Flores to cooperate with her in acting, saying that the will appointing the heir had disappeared.”
Hearing Diana's words, Cecilia suddenly woke up: ”on the contrary, if the wise king took refuge in her after his death, it means that the Marquis of Flores has bet on her. In other words, she is not the murderer who poisoned the former king. ”
Hella nodded and then said, ”according to my observation, the two best successors of lane kingdom are her and Glenn. Therefore, the heir designated in the disappeared will is either she or grace, that is, the murderer who poisoned their father will only be one of them. The only evidence is who the heir designated in the will is It's a pity that the will has disappeared. ”
”So I've said it doesn't matter whether she poisoned Ryan VI.” Neil rolled his eyes and had to discuss this meaningless result. He really couldn't stand it, because in Neil's view, it was a waste of time. ”This is a woman who is good at taking advantage of her own advantages. She gave all the territory of dabion to Athena and tonis fortress to us. It seems that she suffered a lot, but the reduction of the territory also represents the concentration of power and easier control. The most important thing is that after we accepted her kindness, it is equivalent to announcing our asylum to the outside world. ”
