Chapter 374 Dimitri Zayev
After Zhang Hao and his party were no longer concealing their identities, they were escorted all the way to the capital of Kislev by the soldiers who heard the news. From the mouths of the escort soldiers, they learned that the king ordered to requisition the food supply of the entire south and give it priority to the army. , Men who have reached the age of 16 must accept the call-up unconditionally and go to the front line as soon as possible.So along the way, the official roads are full of old people, women, and young children. They can't eat enough, they rest on the side of the road when they are tired, and drink water from the river when they are thirsty. The sense of crisis brought about by the destruction of the two northern provinces forced They didn't dare to stay in the city, so they could only run out, but there was no place in Kislev that could provide them with a sense of security, so most of their eyes revealed confusion and fear.

Three days later, a group of people who traveled overnight arrived at the capital of Kislev.

To the south and west of Kislev are the empire's border areas, to the west is the Sea of ​​Claws, to the north is the Troll Land, and to the northeast and east are the Thousand Miles of World's Edge Mountains.Kislev's southern border is bounded by tributaries of the Talabek River.

Although the country is still extremely cold, the south is still much hotter than the north. It is also because of the cold weather that it is difficult to obtain materials. This has led to the fact that most of the local houses are directly used for grinding and carving. Stacked of stone or made of wood.Of course, Kislev's palaces were not such crude buildings, they were golden majestic buildings with onion domes and towers.

"Honorable King Kislev! It's a great honor to see you again. I only extend my greetings to you on behalf of me and my companions." Zhang Hao took the lead and gave a slight salute, but the others did not dare. Salute according to the standard posture.

The throne against the background of colorful glass is full of vitality, but the person sitting on it is extremely gloomy, "His Royal Highness, I didn't expect you to bring the traitors of our country in person. What do you want in exchange?" Dimitri's palace is very large, with at least a hundred people standing quietly on both sides, but there is no other voice except Dimitri here, which is enough to see Dimitri's majesty.

"Traitor? No! Your Majesty, I came here today to inquire about the upcoming war in your country. I want to ask Your Majesty what are your chances of winning?" Zhang Hao has met Dimitri, so for him His temper is not unfamiliar.

"How many chances do I have for your empire? Either hand over the traitor Andrei, or take him away from here! Don't you know how busy I, Kislev, have been lately?!" Dimitri was very serious, Combined with the golden armor he was wearing today, it made him even more ruthless.

"Dimitri! Don't you know if I'm a traitor!? We're not here to discuss this. You can't win this time against the enemy! Don't let so many people go to death! That's all the country The future!!" Andre has been hiding behind Zhang Hao since he entered the palace, lowering his head and not daring to look ahead, but when Dimitri rejected Zhang Hao in a firm and somewhat vicious tone, Andre couldn't bear it anymore. "Your son! Holden! The evidence of betrayal of the country! See for yourself!!" After speaking, he opened the crystal that had been prepared and played the video from Petlev.

But during the playback process, Andre did not get the atmosphere he wanted. There were hundreds of people in the entire hall, no one was surprised, no one was afraid, and no one jumped out to accuse their king.Andre took a small step back, and said softly, "Something is wrong"

"Call Holden up!" Dimitri remained expressionless.Facing the weird atmosphere in the hall, Zhang Hao couldn't understand it, so he first dispersed the power of faith, but the whole palace seemed to be covered by a wave of energy, and the power of faith spread out even to the main hall.So he winked at Anna for the first time, telling her to be on guard in advance.

"Huh~~" When the door of the palace opened again, a chill came from behind everyone. Anna almost couldn't hold back and turned her head to throw a purification out, but Zhang Hao stopped it in time.After Anna saw what came in, she immediately exclaimed. Not only him, Zhang Hao and others were also very surprised, because what was pushed in was a vertical pure ice coffin, through the ice, they could clearly see The person seen inside is officially Dimitri's youngest son, Holden Zaev.

When the soldiers pushed Holden to the side of Zhang Hao and the others, Dimitri stood up slowly, and stepped on the ground of the palace with a crackling sound. He first walked in front of Holden and used His hand touched through the ice, and then came to Andre's side.

"Don't I know if you are a traitor?!" What Andre said about Dimitri before was returned by him. "The commander of the Imperial Legion? Hmph, it's really ridiculous. I can't beat it every time. Then I would like to ask the new commander of the Empire, have you ever fought? Yes! We are defeated!" Dimitri's tone changed Suddenly became excited, then turned around and went to the steps, turned around and said loudly, "But we didn't give up!! We didn't give up even an inch of land! But what about you?! You ran away without saying a word! Coward! I am the king! Yes! King of Kislev! I want to arrest you! As a subject, how dare you refuse? Am I a king who can be easily seduced by others in your heart? What about the oath you made? What about your courage? What about your loyalty? What bullshit is the wolf of the north? I think you are a northern idiot!!" If Dimilit hadn't been concerned that there are so many people in this hall, he might have pointed his nose and scolded him. , the relationship between the two of them was really good. How could any king talk so much nonsense after being betrayed by his subordinates?

Andrei's face was flushed by Dimitri's words, and he stood there gritting his teeth at a loss.

"I don't know what you are here for!? But don't try to shake our confidence in the decisive battle with the enemy! I, Kislev, have the entire southern province, and millions of men! If we can just hand over our homeland Give it up to others?! I can't do it! My citizens can't do it either!!'

"I swear to live and die with Kislev! I swear to live and die with Kislev!!" Dimitri's words made the entire hall come alive. Both soldiers and ministers all shouted slogans enthusiastically, making Andrei He suddenly woke up and knelt down directly. "Your Majesty!"I was wrong! ! "From Dimitri's perspective, Andrei's behavior not only brought shame to his family, but also brought shame to the entire country. The Lord of the North fled without a fight, even without the courage to defend himself. Is this distrust of the king? Or guilt for his own actions? Whichever one proves that Andre did something wrong.
