Chapter 1113 The Knights of the Law
"We must not let Mort mess up the empire. Now the empire is surrounded by enemies and cannot accept any turmoil."
"But, Knight Captain Karl, what can we do? The guards of the imperial capital are all his people. You are the only one with only two hundred people in the Guards Knights. How can you be the opponent of the 10,000 guards of the imperial capital?"
"He can't stay with the army all the time, why should we be afraid of him?" "Today, His Majesty the Emperor will summon him. This is our last chance." The captain of the knights has decided to control Mort when he enters the palace.
The old emperor is dying, and the empire must not be in chaos because of an ambitious person.
Looking at his brother on the sickbed, Mort's face is calm and there is no sadness at all. There is a 20-year difference between the two brothers. It can be said that there is no brotherly love. Now he is in his early thirties and less than forty years, which is the prime of life, while his brother is already an old patient.
"Mort, my brother, I want you to promise that I will not threaten Kadi's right to inherit the throne after I die." The old emperor said weakly.
Mort didn't listen: "My brother, you are tired. Go and meet the Hades with peace of mind. Leave the empire to me. I will lead the empire to become stronger and bigger. I will transport the wealth of the entire continent to the imperial capital, let the beauties of the entire continent come to the palace, and I will become the only master of the continent."
The old emperor was so angry that he almost jumped up, but he had no strength. He was really going to die. He was so excited that he died without taking a breath.
Mort covered the old emperor and strode out of the door. He saw that the noble officials were already waiting outside: "My brother is dead. He asked me to be the regent and preside over the state affairs before Kadi came of age."
"King..." Everyone was crying, but the young Knight Karl started fighting.
"The king said before that he would let the Minister of the Interior be the regent of Prince Kadi. How could he choose you? You are falsely conveying the emperor's order." The knight captain said: "Come on, arrest him."
Mort knew it would be like this, but it was useless. Looking at these knights, he showed a weird smile: "Recognize me." A red light flew out of his right eye, and everyone, including the knight captain, was stunned. Inciting red lines also appeared in their eyes.
It was GEASS. Mort's inner desire was to be recognized by everyone, so his ability was to make others recognize him.
Everyone knelt down, and Captain Karl, who had been targeting Mort like a murderer of his father, also knelt on one knee. They all had to recognize the man in front of them.
Is this GEASS? Great, this absolute power is really great. It seems that I have to make the religion of law the state religion. C.C., which god do you worship? In short, Mort was completely obsessed with the power given by C.C. This feeling of not being able to violate is really great. As long as he has this power, no one can not surrender to him. This empire and this continent will become his possession.
Reorganize the army, expand, expand, and expand again. Wealth, treasures, beauties, and titles are all on the land of other countries. If you want, then go and occupy and destroy them.
The territory of the empire expanded several times in a few years, and the defeated countries were all injured. After being occupied, they could not organize effective resistance at all.
The GEASS logo of the Facult is flying all over the land. Of course, the Facult is like the Red Cross on the battlefield, working hard to save the dying and the wounded. Both the enemy and the enemy will welcome it, because the priests of the Facult save people without distinction. It is precisely because of the righteous deeds of the Facult that many rebels have been conquered, making them feel that being ruled by the empire is not a bad thing. Even many rescued soldiers have become soldiers of the empire in a blink of an eye.
Because soldiers in this era are just tools, they just eat military pay to survive. It doesn’t matter which noble they work for. Working for the empire at least means good equipment, and if they are injured, they can be rescued by the Facult in advance. Moreover, if they have made military achievements, they can be awarded a title. Anyway, they are all soldiers, so why not fight for the empire?
On this day in the harsh and cold northern border, the cruel war has been stalemate for many months. As winter is approaching, the empire’s army is not used to such a temperature, but if the troops are withdrawn now, all the achievements of this year will be wasted. Now the general can only hope that the reinforcements of the empire will come quickly. At that time, as long as there is an absolute numerical advantage, the empire will be able to trap them to death in the winter, and they will be forced to come out to fight, and they will occupy the absolute initiative.
But now the empire is at war, where can they send troops to him? Fortunately, there are some reinforcements.
Chewing the beef and swallowing it, the general thought that what he needed was reinforcements, not food: "Are you really reinforcements?" The other party's silver armor was engraved with the symbol of the Fa Church, so he didn't dare to act rashly.
"One is enough. I am the Fa Church Knights. It's normal that you haven't heard of it. It was only established at the beginning of this year."
The general nodded. He came to the border last year to prepare for the battle in the north. It is really unclear what happened in the imperial capital at the beginning of this year. Every church can have a knight group to protect the church, not to mention the famous Fa Church. The Fa Church is the state religion of the empire. Although it appeared suddenly, the good things done by the Fa Church are countless. From nobles to civilians, they treat everyone equally and save countless people. Even the general admires the Fa Church Saint C.C. very much.
"Then I'll let you lead the army." The other party may be a military genius and have a way to defeat the enemy.
"I'm not a general, but a warrior. I'm a mage knight." He put down his dinner knife, picked up the huge sword and shouted, "Kill people to save people." Then he rushed into the heavy snow.
"Come and see, he is a member of the Facult." However, the other party was so fast that he had completely disappeared.
There was only heavy snow all over the sky, and it seemed that there was a flash of blood in the snow.
To resolve the war with the least sacrifice, this is why the Facult Knights were born. The Facult Knights were naturally thought up by C.C. One day, her believers asked her how to reduce the casualties of the war. They saw too many tragedies on the battlefield but could only save people. C.C. said to end the war with the least sacrifice, so she responded to the believers' request and trained the Facult Knights. There were not many people, only 30, but each of them had the combat power of one against a hundred.
One man and one sword, snow fell and blood splashed. It was a battle destined to become a legend. A Facult Knight defeated 17,000 enemy troops, beheaded the enemy, and pacified the northern border in one fell swoop, pushing the northern border of the empire outward by 300 kilometers. From then on, there was no war in the northern border.
Legend has it that the snow turned red that day, and the armor of the Mage Knight was covered with sword marks and minced meat, and even his eyes turned red. He killed his way into the enemy army, rushed into the enemy camp and cut off the head. After he came out, the enemy dared not approach him at all, because the Mage Knights were all demons.
Even now, every time it snows in winter, people in the northern mountains can still hear the friction sound of the Mage Knights' armor, telling the terrible battle that took place that day.
