Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1101: Cut Troops

Throughout the empire, the only one who would use the Niao Tail Flower as a symbol was this one. Everyone knew that it was Duke Niaohua who had arrived when they saw the golden tail flowers on the chests of the swordsmen. Otherwise, there wouldn't be any Golden Niaohua swordsmen accompanying them. The four swordsmen in the front row separated in pairs, revealing the three behind them. The leader was an old butler with white hair, but he was full of vigor. Her tuxedo was not wrinkled at all, the white handkerchief in her chest pocket was flawless, and her hands were wearing white gloves. With his right hand in front of him and his left behind his back, the old butler stood upright. One hand rested on the old butler's right arm. This hand was wearing a lace glove. It was delicate, slender, and its fingers were like orchids. In the middle of the hand was a gem ring. The gemstone was carved in the shape of a lotus flower. The dark blue gemstone had a lavender natural texture, which made it look noble and elegant.

The owner of this hand was dressed in a red and black royal royal dress. The part of the long skirt that was dragging the ground was more than two meters long, and it was luxuriously dressed. Under the light, the gems and crystal diamonds shone, as if they were decorating the stars. Such a graceful and noble woman was very young, but she was only twenty years old. Her hair was coiled up high and tied in a bun with diamond-embellished hair nets. The expression in his eyes carried aloofness, pride, and a bit of rudeness. Her skin was so delicate that it seemed as if it could be broken by the wind at any time. Her classic and exquisite facial features were even more unforgettable.

Under Duke Niao Hua's brilliance, even the Top Ten Saint experts standing behind her were overshadowed. However, Sarah was already used to this and was even proud of it.

Everyone in the hall, including Alan, bowed solemnly, except Julian and Nabott. This was the privilege of the Boleyn Clan. This clan had used blood and life to gain the respect of the royal family. In the four kilometers of the empire, Duke Niaohua was the only clan with the greatest glory of the royal family.

The Grand Duchess nodded slightly at Julian and Nabott as a greeting. Finally, her gaze fell on Allen. The corner of her lips curled up slightly on her indifferent face, but before anyone could detect it, she returned to normal.

Julian had long since heard that the Duchess and Alan knew each other in the South, so how could he not be sensible? He immediately arranged for Duke Niaohua to go to the quiet room. In front of the room, apart from the Golden Navy Swordsmen, the two top ten Saint experts were on the left and on the right. It was likely that Mason had personally arrived, so it would not be easy to break into this small room. Allen came to the room, but he did not hurry into the room. First, he said to the old butler, "When the ruins of the old Great Wall were left, there were two more adults. Otherwise, I might have been in some ice-cold grave. Unfortunately, I did not have the chance to thank the two of you at that time. Now, I have officially thanked the two of you."

The old butler smiled faintly, "At most we can say it out loud, but we haven't made a move yet. Earl Allen's words are too heavy. Please come in, Great Justice is waiting for you."

He and Saram turned to the side, and Alan passed by the two of them. After he entered the room, the old butler pulled the door shut and blinked at the noble woman Saram. "How about it? I say it's a good child."

"Hmph, we saved him once. Isn't it appropriate to express our gratitude in person?" josei

The old butler smiled and pointed at Sarah, but did not continue to argue with her on this topic.

It was said to be a quiet room, but it was actually a study room. On the wall of the study hung a fake copy of "The Rise of the Empire." The room was gently lit, and Niaohua Dazheng stood in front of the painting and watched. However, her mind was not on the painting. When Alan came in, her ears moved slightly, and it was obvious that her attention was focused on the door. Alan looked at the tall figure and smiled bitterly, "Should I call you Duke Elizabeth or Miss Elyse?"

The long skirt rolled up, the pearl light flowed, and Duke Niaohua turned around. He faded the coldness in his eyes, but he habitually raised his chin and smiled, "For the sake of not forgetting that name, you must call me Elyse when no one else is around."

"Then should I kneel down and deduct my thanks?"

"Oh, it seems that Earl Allen is nothing more than that. He dared to reprimand me loudly that day without knowing my identity, but today he only knows how to bow?" Said Elyse coldly.

Alan shook his head. "Your mouth is still so poisonous."

Hearing this, Elyse couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter. '"You don't know how hard it was to act every day," she said, swinging her legs as she sat down on a chair. "So I miss meeting you. I wasn't Elizabeth, I was just a wayward Elyse."

"You are groaning without illness. God knows how many people are willing to live your pretentious life." Ellen sat on the other side of the duke and sighed, "Look, even the Second Prince and the Prime Minister have to bow when they see you. How impressive."

"It's fine if you like it. After being my man, you don't even have to kneel down when you see Great Emperor." Elyse said casually. Suddenly, he realized that he had said the wrong thing. Red clouds immediately floated on his classic and beautiful face.

Alan looked at her and smiled, "You know, a friend once told me that the quickest way to get ahead is to be your man. It's a shortcut."

Elyse narrowed his eyes and said in a dangerous tone, "Which bastard said that!"

"You should know that bastard. After all, you attended his wedding."

"Orlando!" Elyse gritted his teeth and said, "Next time I see him, I'll teach him a lesson."

"Then he will probably be able to boast to others for more than half a year. You should know that there aren't many people who have taught Duke Niaohua a lesson." Alan spread out his hands.

The two of them looked at each other and smiled.

"He is indeed a bastard. I really don't know how the Marquis of Iron Spear gave birth to such a son." Elyse scolded.

"I think so."

Then the study quieted down, and after a moment Elyse said, "I had no choice but to leave without saying goodbye last time. Speaking of which, I still owe you the reward."

Ellen shook his head and said, "If you ask the two of you to lend a helping hand at the old Great Wall, I'll treat you as if you've returned the favor."

'"Then what? Do you think my reward is so cheap?" Elyse's apricot eyes glared at him angrily.

Her voice wasn't low, and the study's door wasn't soundproof. Not to mention that the old butler and the old butler could hear clearly, even the few Golden Veil Swordsmen could hear it. The old butler bumped into Saram and whispered, "So the two of us are worthless."

Sarah rolled her eyes, too lazy to bother with this old partner.

In the study, Elyse sat up straight and said seriously, "Not long ago, the Naga clan provided some evidence to prove that Sword Lord Mason was the one who bought my murder. Hmph, Mason's intentions are so sinister, why hasn't my Boleyn clan repaid him? I know you want to deal with Mason. When the time comes, don't forget to let me know."

"How can I find you?"

Elyse was obviously prepared. He took out a badge with a golden vase and placed it on the table. "With it, you can find me whenever you need me. Our family has a lot of property in the capital. Julian knows that you can show this badge anywhere. Naturally, someone will bring you to see me."

After she finished speaking, she stood up and said, "Count me in on the North-South Trading Road and the Frost Crystal Ore Vein. Take it as interest on the remuneration I owe you."

Then he pushed open the door and left without saying goodbye. Alan shook his head and put away the medallion. Julian and the others saw Mistress Niao Hua off in the middle of the road. They didn't return to the hall until they saw her carriage leave. Inside the carriage, Elyse looked out of the window quietly. Saram, who was sitting beside her, suddenly said, "Miss, what do you think of this Earl Allen?"

"What?"

"Be Miss's husband."

Elyse frowned and said, "I don't find it annoying to be with him. But it's too early to say that I'm my man."

When the old butler heard this, his expression immediately lit up as he winked at Saram. This was the first time Elyse had been alone with a young man, and he didn't find it annoying. In the past, when the clan had found her a candidate, they had rejected her without even looking at her.

"Now is not the time to talk about this." Elyse said to the two Top Ten Saint experts who had watched him grow up, "Mason's desire to seize the throne has become more and more obvious, but His Majesty has been reluctant to make a move. If His Majesty does not do it, then only we will do it. I think it won't be long before we meet up with Mason. There is no problem with the army. The problem lies in the experts. Can't my uncle get in touch with them? "

Elyse's uncle, Belkay, was one of the Boleyn Family's strongest warriors. Ten Saints with Sword Lord Mason and Twilight Prayer Midian. Night Shadow Belkay was ranked fourth among the Ten Saints. If he were to make a move, along with Stam and Saram, the two top ten Saints, he would be much more confident in dealing with Mason.

However, Night Shadow's whereabouts were uncertain. He would only return home once or twice a year. Even though the Boleyn Family had spies all over the empire, contacting Belkay was still not an easy task. The old butler said in a deep voice, "Your uncle heard that he appeared in Graytown last time, but he knows that you were attacked in Sardinia. He will definitely come back."

"I only hope that he can arrive in time to deal with Mason." Said Elyse Rushi.

Recently, the nerves of the people in the imperial capital were always straightened up. First, the second prince, Julian, the black horse, ran out of the royal spring hunt and silently won the spring hunt championship. While everyone was still shocked by the news, Tangerio announced another big event.

Cut the army!

After years of fermentation, the policy proposed by Prime Minister Nabott was finally formally put forward on this day. However, the announcement from the Great Emperor was slightly different from what the Prime Minister had said back then. Tangerio did not disband all the lord armies below the Marquis, as Naboth had suggested. Instead, he started with the Baron and Viscount. The decree clearly stated that Lords below the count would be automatically disarmed from today onwards, and the security of their territories would be the sole responsibility of the Imperial Army. However, even though this decree was proposed, it clearly gave the local lords three months to implement it.

Without a doubt, the Great Emperor wanted to keep the rebound to a minimum. However, even so, the moment the decree was issued, Oliska was still in an uproar.
