Chapter 312： Return to the capital

Chapter 312 Return to the Royal Capital

Silabel looked at Green with a half-smile, and was noncommittal about Green's answer.

The carriage was slightly bumpy, and as it approached the capital, a stone pavement appeared, causing the horse's hooves to step on the ground, making a rhythmic stomping sound.

The number of people on the road has gradually increased, some are going to Steinard City, and some are coming from the opposite side. Most of them are businessmen and some nobles, but no matter who they are, they must retreat when they encounter the army led by Silabel. Automatically retreat to the side of the road and wait for the team to pass. There are also some nobles or people from other secret organizations. Through the mental state of the marching team, you can see a lot of information.

For example, the news of the victory over the rebels in the northern province was sent back to the capital early, but not everyone was qualified to know the news. But from the high-spirited state of these armies, it is not difficult to guess that they must have won the battle, and it was a hearty victory. If they were defeated, they must be downcast, like an eggplant beaten by frost.

"Hey! It seems that the uprising in the north has failed again. Is it really impossible to overthrow this corrupt and sinful kingdom by our own strength?"

Watching the army pass by, a young man in a clean robe sighed, and his tone was obviously sympathetic to the rebels.

Moreover, the young man's dress seems to be in good family conditions, and he is wearing a blue sash, indicating that he is from a noble family. Even such a person began to sympathize with the rebels. It is conceivable that the Lorenzo Kingdom in the Void World How unpopular to rule.

"Master Modi! Please be careful with your words and deeds, otherwise it will bring disaster to the family." A stern and old voice came, it was an old man in a black butler's costume.

"Grandpa Descartes, I know, I will pay attention." The young man waved his hand impatiently, obviously he didn't take the old housekeeper's words seriously, he just didn't want to argue, so he just kept silent.

However, the old butler didn't want to let him go, and continued to recite: "Master Modi, I know you don't like to listen to it, but the situation in the capital is very tense now, and many superhuman organizations and rebels have infiltrated the capital very well. As an important subordinate of Lord Silabel, the lord is quite sensitive, you should be more careful, otherwise it will become a tool for some people to attack the lord, think about Miss Vera, young master Modena, you don't want them Get implicated!"

This progressive-minded Master Modi rubbed his forehead. He is a person with rich emotions. Otherwise, as a nobleman, the son of a general, and a vested interest who has lived a prosperous life since childhood, he would not sympathize with the suffering people. . But his character also attaches great importance to family and family. When he thinks of his younger sister and younger brother, one is just ten years old, and the other has learned to walk, pink, chubby, and so cute, if because of some of his own remarks, the younger sister and brother are implicated, It will make him suffer for the rest of his life.

"Forget it, Grandpa Descartes, let's go." Modi shook his head helplessly and boarded the carriage parked beside him.

There is a manor belonging to General James nearby. This time Modi and Descartes butler came out to go to the manor.

After getting on the carriage, Modi was silent for a few minutes, and suddenly whispered: "Grandpa Descartes, you said that a person as strong and perfect as Sir Silabel, why should he guard this corrupt and sinful kingdom? If she can stand up Raise your arms and make yourself a king, I think the life of the people must be ten times better than it is now."

General James is Silabel's confidant, but he is not a noble of the original Lorenzo Kingdom, but Silabel was promoted from the homeland of the void world. Although he also knows that the main world exists outside, he has never been there. The main world, and this matter is of great importance, he did not disclose it to his family. In addition, the eldest son Modi is an idealist, simple-minded, impulsive, and easy to be used by others, so General James does not like this son. This also caused Modi to still not know the existence of the main world, and he did not know that it was just a void world. It was easier to think about things. He thought that as long as it was Silabel, with his own powerful strength and prestige, plus his hands Holding the power of the army, as long as you raise your arms, you can overthrow the kingdom.

On the contrary, the old housekeeper Descartes knew more. He looked dimly at the age of twenty, but he was still very naive, and shook his head helplessly: "Young master, your thinking is too simple, the kingdom is not that simple. , You think that the kingdom is extremely rotten, the bureaucracy is corrupt, and the people are struggling to survive. It is extremely bad. But, young master, have you ever thought that such a rotten kingdom can still stand upright, with hundreds of rebellions every year, and a small number of hundreds of people, The tens of thousands of people on a large scale have not been calmed down steadily, young master, haven't you thought about the reason?"

"Uh..." Modi was at a loss for words. Facing the earnest words of the old housekeeper, he really didn't know how to answer: "Yes! Why is this?"

Butler Descartes said again: "Young master, you have to be careful, you must not say anything about letting Lord Silabel be the king. It is impossible for Lord Silabel to betray the kingdom, and it is impossible for the master to betray Lord Silabel. Yes, don't let them know about these rebellious thoughts, otherwise..."

Modi nodded slowly, because there was too much information just now, so he didn't think to ask why Descartes butler knew so much.

"Can't let Lord Father know?" Modi thought silently: "But the task that Lord Cypolites gave me, no, I still have to give it a try, in case... in case father changes his position, and he has no interest in the revolution. The military is extremely important."

It turns out that this young master who has never suffered hard since childhood, was foolish and naive, was fooled into the water by the revolutionary army not long ago.

Because of his special status, Modi became the head of the intelligence department of the Revolutionary Army, the direct subordinate of Cypolites.

At the same time, the triumphant army has come to the outskirts of Steinard City, and a city wall more than six meters high surrounds this metropolis with a population of more than one million.

This city wall was a fortification built when the Kingdom of Lorenzo first attacked this void world in order to prevent the indigenous counterattacks here. It played an important role in the past, but it is no longer useful now. The city extends out and wraps it up. City walls, especially many factories that occupy a huge area, are impossible to build in the city, and together with those workers and their families, they form residential areas around the factories. And once the factory is not well run, or moved elsewhere, workers lose their jobs, and this area of ​​residence will be reduced to ruins or slums.

There have been more than ten slums formed in this way in Steinard.

These slums have almost become an extrajudicial world. The government is too lazy to manage them. There are gangs running rampant in them, and countless crimes are hidden.

The former barracks in Steinard City was such a slum, and it was later taken over by the Special Bureau under Silabel and became a training base under the Special Bureau. Later, Grand Duke Mora handed over the elite troops of more than 40,000 people to Silabel, which became the garrison of this army. This time, when he returned to the capital, he returned directly here.

The news of the great victory in the northern province has been sent back. It was learned that Silabel had triumphed today, and a grand welcome ceremony was prepared in the military camp.

Although this void world belongs to the Kingdom of Lorenzo, for the convenience of rule, there is still a king in the void world, who is held by the children of the royal family as the nominal king.

But at present, because Grand Duke Mora is pinned in the main world, the power on the side of the void world is vacant, and the king naturally gains some real power. But now the king is only a twelve-year-old boy, and the real power falls into the hands of the court minister, the Marquis of Belon.

With Silabel's triumphant return, the king's capital Steinard also formed a three-pronged situation, the government headed by the Prime Minister Marquis Capson, the palace headed by the Marquis of Belon, and the military force headed by Silabel.

This time Silabel came back, and both the government and the palace attached great importance to it. They paused from the original open and secret infighting and prepared to win the support of Silabel and the military.

In front of the gate of the barracks, a large number of welcome groups gathered. Silabel's carriage slowly stopped. Green took the lead to get down, holding the carriage to be dull. The people who were waiting not far away showed an indifferent sneer at the corners of their mouths.

"Your Excellency Silabel, congratulations on your triumphant return, the kingdom will prosper forever with a hero like you."

A very handsome middle-aged nobleman with a moustache greeted him with a smile. It was Marquis Capson, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of the Void World.

The fat man who was laughing behind Marquis Capson was Marquis Belon, the chief court minister. The two seemed to be very harmonious, but in fact they were incompatible, and they wished they could kill each other before they were reconciled.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, you are very polite. The ability to destroy the rebels this time is entirely due to the soldiers fighting on the battlefield. Silabel dare not take credit." Silabel gently raised her skirt in return, and spoke politely very hypocritically.

The fat Marquis Veron next to him quickly brushed his sense of existence and said disgusting compliments, but this man has a kind of ability. And, people can't be hated, but they are willing to get close, which is an important reason why he can be liked by the little king and become the chief court minister.

Green looked from the side, and couldn't help but take a few more glances at the Marquis of Veron, and was secretly surprised: "It's really pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger! This guy is also a legendary superhuman, or he prefers the ability of spirit and soul. , to be able to subtly change other people's perception of him, and this change is subtle and silent, if it wasn't for a faint psychic penetration when he was talking just now, I would not have been able to easily detect it."
