"Tomorrow is the summer celebration. There are more and more riots recently. I feel I can''t suppress it, marshal," a senior officer of the William family said to Alonso
"You go down first." Alonso has been frowning and tightening recently. There have been too many things and worries during this period of time.
Now there are too many problems in the Empire. The high house prices make the poor have no place to live. The successive wars and disasters are undoubtedly another blow to the aging empire.
A large number of refugees are displaced and homeless, but dignitaries are rich and extravagant. Natural and man-made disasters almost exhausted the food of the Empire, but the upper echelons of the Empire have to intensify their efforts to amass wealth, extravagance and waste, completely regardless of the life and death of the civilians at the bottom.
In kelandier, the food price here has become almost all the expenditure of ordinary people. Even so, they can''t eat meat. It''s good to be able to chew bread. The key is that it''s just enough to maintain a state of slight hunger.
The most terrible thing is that more and more refugees are pouring into the city. They can''t control it. They not only bring chaos, but also disease and plague.
Over the past month or so, the order has also changed its previous style and began to brazenly arrest and execute people on the streets. This is also tacitly approved by Emperor Keith. Alonso can''t control it. After all, the people of the order don''t directly touch the interests of the Empire. They have high rights, Even when Prince Keith was crowned emperor of the Empire, Pope ecclesie was personally crowned in San Antonio cathedral.
As for the chief magic adviser of the Empire, he still maintained the mystery of the past, but he had to guard against it. Who knows what he did.
People don''t want to work anymore. Like emperor Keith, they just want to have wine and get drunk today. They are greedy for pleasure and don''t want to make progress. Only by participating in riots, smashing and looting can they arouse their interest. They want to get something for nothing.
Really too tired, Alonso felt unprecedented pressure and fatigue.
In the north, the newly established kingdom of Northland is also eyeing the Empire. Now recovering the north by force is just a dream. The Empire has no strength.
In the holy city, secret organizations composed of the people at the bottom have also sprung up. They can''t be caught and killed, but become more and more intense.
Tomorrow is the annual summer celebration. I don''t know what Theoden would do if he was still alive? How would he feel when he saw the once glorious empire become like this?
There is no doubt about Alonso''s loyalty. He used to be an unknown little Lord on the political stage of the Empire, but now he is almost in charge of the military power of the Empire. However, this burden may be a little too heavy.
In fact, what Alonso doesn''t know is that at this moment, he hasn''t slept so late and is still worried about the country and the people. But what are those upper class nobles doing? If he had the stone ball like Morse, he would see that some nobles were gathering together to suck moon candy and have fun with a group of beautiful female slaves without clothes. Finally, there are four nobles doing what they love to do with a female slave. You should know that the female slave is actually just an ordinary civilian. She was arrested after being accused of being a witch by the people of the church and bought by these nobles for fun. You should know that she is only 14 years old.
Looking at those female slaves who were naked and ate moon candy, I don''t know how their parents would feel when they saw it.
What is the emperor Keith doing in this ordinary and extraordinary night?
Our Imperial Emperor Keith is playing with a group of maids in the hall where he lives, but they seem to be sweating and dazzling.
You think it''s over? Our Imperial Emperor also liked to ask people to record these pictures with magic crystal balls, and asked those court painters to paint on site.
In short, on the eve of the summer celebration, our emperor had a good time.
Alonso is melancholy alone in the camp tent. He has tried his best and arranged all available forces to ensure the safety of tomorrow.
Although he is still a little worried, he has tried his best and there is nothing he can do.
He was drinking. At the moment, he didn''t even have a person to talk to. He even wondered what he was doing for.
One night without sleep, no wine, everyone is drunk until the East turns white, and a new day has come.
As usual, Alonso washed and put on his armor. This armor is the armor that has accompanied him for many years. Now it is also scarred and not bright.
It seems that today is cloudy and the sky is covered with dark clouds. This is rare. Over the years, summer celebrations have generally been held in sunny weather.
Alonso convened a meeting of his officers and deployed security and other work in detail again.
After the meeting, Alonso personally took his men and horses to the city for inspection.
This year, as usual, few people came all the way to participate in the summer celebration. Some were only German people everywhere, and many were refugees.
The work of urban defense cannot be relaxed for a moment. These refugees affect the appearance of the city and bring chaos and plague. Many of them have been rushed to an area for temporary resettlement of refugees outside the city by the urban defense army. There, Alonso''s William family is heavily guarded and assisted by the imperial urban defense army.
Everything has been arranged. In the morning, we will review the imperial guards in front of the new heroes. Since the Hero Hall was destroyed by the black dragon ildley, Alonso led people to rebuild it. In recent years, Emperor Keith ordered to build a large number of buildings and spend a lot of money to make the hero hall more magnificent and magnificent. However, this also increased the burden on the people, but emperor Keith chose to ignore it. In contrast to the Hero Hall, the imperial guards are much worse these years.
Whether it''s the selection of soldiers, internal management, and daily training, plus the real elite, they were exhausted when the black dragon attacked here.
This year, the square mountain in front of the hall of heroes is not crowded, and few citizens have helplessness on their faces.
Under the care of the people arranged by Emperor Keith, dalena also appeared in front of the Hero Hall with him.
Before emperor Keith could speak, the dark sky began to rain.
In front of the hall of heroes, the people were silent and the atmosphere became extremely embarrassing.
