Chapter 713 Heading to the Kingdom of Oriana
King Midgar was furious. The princes and nobles felt that His Highness Alice was not very friendly to their nobles, so they all chose to stand on the king's side.
However, the facts proved that even if the king and the princes and ministers were of one mind at this moment, it was useless.
Because just as Alice said, the king and ministers of the Kingdom of Midgar were incompetent and had almost nothing to do except enjoyment.
In Alice's speech just now, although she pushed all the nobles to the king's side, the soldiers and knights stood on Alice's side at this moment.
Alice, who always led the way in everything, has a very high prestige in the army.
In addition to the reputation of being approachable and a genius, Alice's popularity among the civilians is far greater than that of King Midgar.
So this battle for the throne between father and daughter ended almost as soon as it began.
Alice won a crushing victory, and the former King Midgar seemed to have aged several years in an instant at this moment.
Looking at the soldiers and civilians cheering for the new king, King Midgar realized at this moment that he had been such a failure.
Alice just wanted to change Midgar, and she was not really greedy for power, so naturally she did nothing to her father.
So after discussing with Alexia, King Midgar was arranged to live in a luxurious mansion, and lived a life of wine and meat every day.
Since the father likes to enjoy himself, then let him enjoy it to his heart's content. The burden of Midgar was shouldered by Alice!
After becoming the new king, Alice immediately began to carry out drastic reforms in Midgar.
A large number of nobles who had never had a meal were all mercilessly exiled to the countryside by Alice.
And the money obtained by punishing these corrupt nobles was all used to expand the Knights and train magic swordsmen.
Now the "Midgar Magic Swordsman Academy" can directly recruit into the Knights as long as the graduation results reach a certain level.
In order to cultivate talents, Alice even funded the establishment of a magic swordsman academy where civilians can also study.
The royal family's non-staff combat group was established, managed by the second princess Alexia. Whether adventurers or mercenaries, they can obtain the kingdom's organization. They don't need to do work or training at ordinary times, but when the kingdom is in trouble, they must obey orders and commands.
An ancient artifact research institute was established to collect and analyze ancient artifacts previously used by the cult.
A secret intelligence agency was established to collect information related to the Diabolos Cult and the Shadow Courtyard.
Alice's original position as the leader of the Scarlet Knights is now held by Gus Omega.
Gus was promoted from the original position of marquis to one of the grand dukes by Alice, and was given a larger territory and a luxurious mansion in the royal capital.
Alice promised that the original Omega territory would belong to the Omega family forever. The title of Night City Omega was directly promoted to Viscount, and he also served as the "Captain of the Palace Knight".
It must be said that after Alice's series of operations, the overall combat power level of the Kingdom of Midgar has indeed improved a lot in an instant.
Even Alpha couldn't help but admire after seeing the relevant information: "It seems that I underestimated this princess before. After several experiences, she has grown a lot."
"Humph, it's nothing more than the blessing of Lord Dark Night. She still thinks that leaving Lord Dark Night's parents in the capital and granting Lord Dark Night the title of Viscount can make Lord Dark Night change his mind?"
Gamma on the side was somewhat disapproving of Alice's methods, and felt that the Kingdom of Midgar didn't know what was good for them, and it was completely their own fault that it would evolve into the current situation.
"How is the situation with Lord Dark Night and Lord Shadow?" Putting down the recent information about Midgar in his hand, Alpha looked at Gamma in front of him again and asked.
"After Lord Dark Night obtained the Rose Ring, he has already set off for the Kingdom of Oriana. I believe he will soon be able to contact the so-called "Black Rose". Epsilon has already been there to meet him.
As for Lord Shadow, after hearing about the "Black Rose", he seems to be very interested in the Demon King and the Demon World, so..."
When I went to the Kingdom of Oriana from Night City, I specifically told Alpha and the others not to let Shadow come to cause trouble.
After all, the original difficulty was only a difficult task. If Shadow was added, the difficulty would instantly soar to the Hell level.
Alpha and the others also knew that Lords Dark Night and Shadow had poor aptitude, so they had always kept it secret.
But who knew that a cow and horse of the cult would bump into Shadow without knowing the consequences and directly deliver intelligence.
After hearing such interesting things about the Demon King and the Demon World, Lord Shadow would naturally not miss it.
As subordinates, they naturally could not stop or interfere with Shadow's actions. If Lord Shadow got angry, it would be really bad.
Hearing that Shadow followed Night City to the Kingdom of Oriana, Alpha couldn't help but cover her face with her hands, but soon she sighed and said, "Forget it, with Lord Dark Night's ability, he should be able to handle all kinds of situations.
What about Mordred? Did he get some information about the cult, or about the "Black Rose"? "
Faced with Alpha's inquiry, Gamma took out another report and said, "According to the information obtained from Lambda's torture, the so-called "Black Rose" is actually a channel connecting to another world.
In addition to the world we are in now, there are actually many other worlds outside the world that revolve around this world.
And the real world outside these worlds is called the "Demon World" by the cult. ”
“The Kingdom of Oriana was once invaded by the enemy country Bekada's 100,000-strong army, and when it was in danger, the Kingdom of Oriana accidentally opened the passage to the Demon World.
Because of this reason, the Bekada army at that time was completely wiped out, but the Kingdom of Oriana also became a ruin.
Because the passage was not closed, a large number of monsters continued to pour out. In the end, it was the Diabolos Cult that closed the passage, but the cult did not help in vain, but reached a certain agreement with the Kingdom of Oriana at that time.
That is the royal blood, in simple terms, Princess Rose herself. "
When Alpha heard Gamma's report, she frowned.
She didn't expect that the seemingly harmless King Oriana actually concealed so many things.
The Oriana royal family has an agreement with the cult, which means that King Oriana actually knows who is behind the attack on him and the manipulation of Duem, but he just never said it.
In the past, the Oriana royal family did not hesitate to trade the blood of their descendants with the cult in order to protect the entire Oriana Kingdom.
Now the cult wants to take back the royal blood, and the old guy is reluctant to give up his daughter, so when he sees that Night City has the strength comparable to the "Three Heroes", he will make such a choice, right?
"Damn old fox, those who can be kings are really not simple!
Send this information to Lord Dark Night immediately, and do it specifically, and let him make his own choice. "
