Fairy’s Box

Tiandu Alonidan

The sunset gradually subsided, the setting sun converged the last rays of light, and the most dazzling pearl of Rosevia slowly sank into the dark night. Although it was still brightly lit and full of traffic, today’s night seems to be different from the previous dark nights.

The original dark blue starry sky is now covered with dark clouds, no moonlight can be seen, and a thick mist rises up, making it impossible to see everything in front of you. In the sewers of the city that never sleeps, countless snakes, worms, rats and ants are moving in large groups. The tree fairies, who were the most active at night, also drooped their wings and rolled listlessly in the tree holes.

The Supreme Council of the Imperial City, the hub cabinet was brightly lit tonight, and the three consuls representing the core of the cabinet's power - Hans Chilcott, Isaiah Keenawan, and Isabel O'Dolly, gathered at the parliamentary round table. Opposite them, there are seven generals representing the highest power of the military - Steve Wittelsbach, Zach Bunbury, Lilith Aubrey, Waldo Ivan, Zee Chris Audrey, Edmund Yule, Coralie Nip.

The twenty-sixth emperor of Rosevia, His Majesty Romulus, as the host of the meeting, sat alone in the south of the round table of the parliament, with a gloomy expression, and tapped his fingers on the table unconsciously.

"Your Majesty, this is the report from the observation deck."

The emperor's personal attendant walked into the door, took a modest step, placed a black paper document on the parliament table, and then withdrew from the cabinet with a low eyebrow.

When the two kings guards outside the door saw him come out, they immediately closed the soundproof door of the cabinet and quickly returned to their expressionless wax statue state.

Recently, His Majesty seems to be in a bad mood all the time. He even crushed a dragon horn cup at noon... That's a dragon horn... Moreover, he actually dressed the six royal emperors, except for the olive leaf crown... Could it be true? What's going on?

The valet became more and more frightened the more he thought about it, he quickly accelerated his pace, and left in a hurry.

The six royal emperors of the gods refer to the clothes worn by the Emperor of Rosevia on important occasions, namely the crown of thorns and iron, the crown of olive leaves, the twelve-chamber armor, the seven-sided chariot chain, the re-locked coral girdle, and the engraved gold inlay. boots.

As the supreme ruler of the central world, Antrazu, Emperor Rosevi's clothing has a very special meaning and symbol.

The iron crown of thorns is the main battle. The etiquette stipulates that the iron crown should not be worn during non-war time. In other words, the emperor will only wear the iron crown when he decides and has already started a war.

The olive leaf crown is for peace. Under normal circumstances, the emperor of Rosevia will wear the crown when he presides over government affairs, to show the benevolence and nourishment of the empire.

Twelve chapters A, six chapters on the top, six chapters on the bottom, are printed with the patterns of the heavens and stars, the sun, the moon, the mountains and rivers, the flames, the earth, the sky, and the ocean, symbolizing the emperor's boundless authority.

Each of the seven-sided chains represents an ocean within the jurisdiction of the empire, namely the White Sea, the Black Sea, the Barents Sea, the Baltic Sea, the Aegean Sea, the Sea of ​​Azov, and the North Sea.

The re-locked coral girdle has three rings in total, which means that the empire spans three continents and the huge territory around the Mediterranean Sea.

The gold-engraved bone boots refer to the emperor's undoubted authority over the kingdom of the deceased.

As the empire's national strength increased day by day, fewer and fewer battles required the emperor's personal conquest, and the etiquette of wearing an iron crown had also undergone subtle changes. Since Jusius the Great, it has become an unwritten rule not to wear iron crowns in battles that are not against the country, and it has been followed by the emperors of all dynasties.

To put it simply, as long as the emperor wears the iron crown of thorns and the remaining four pieces of the six imperial palaces, it means that he is going to die, and the whole country of Rosevia will definitely fight bloody.

"The monitoring report of Tiantiantai is here."

Emperor Romulus pressed his finger on the black book, his eyes moved from Consul Hans to General Coralie opposite him, and then pushed it out along the smooth tabletop.

Consul Hans took it in his hands, his throat twitched, and he slowly opened the black book... After reading the words in the report, the usually unremarkable consul, his expression instantly collapsed. down.

"Han Siqing, please read it for a while."

"As ordered." The muscles on the consul's face twitched, he stood up and bowed to the emperor, holding up the black book tremblingly, took a few deep breaths, and said aloud:

"After monitoring and appraisal from the top and bottom of the observation deck, the outer wall of the upper realm has fallen, and the enemy... is indescribable... the level of disaster... is immeasurable... all observers have died..."

Before he could finish reading, his hands suddenly trembled violently, and the black book had already fallen back to the table with a "click".

"Okay, Mr. Hans, sit down first."

The Supreme Emperor's left hand pressed down, signaling the other party to sit down, and then said to everyone present:

"As the report from Guantiantai said, this is an unprecedented threat. In the thousand years since the empire replaced the goblin as the guardian of Anterassu, there has never been any opponent who can invade the upper world so silently! This is national humiliation!"

General Steve Wittelsbach raised his chin solemnly, saluted the emperor's jaw, clenched his fists, and said firmly:

"Your Majesty, for today's plan, we must gather all the strategic troops, deploy the Great Wall of Antony, and drive the invaders back to the void. Otherwise, once the upper realm falls, Antrazu will never have peace."

"I agree."

Emperor Romulus looked around, with an unpredictable meaning, he stopped back and forth on the three consuls.

"This minister seconded my opinion." Consul Hans took the lead in expressing his position.

"My minister agrees."

"My minister agrees."

It is a matter of the survival of the empire, so of course the other two consuls would not argue and express their stance quickly.

Rosevia set up the pivot cabinet to divide the power of the prime minister, so the power of the consul is extremely heavy, the regular troops do not have the big seal of the cabinet, and even the generals cannot be transferred. If the emperor relies on personal prestige to emphasize, it will break the tacit understanding between the monarch and the minister that has been formed over the millennia, and it will easily lead to an imbalance of military and political power, which is not beneficial to the country.

"Your Majesty." Consul Isaiah suddenly stood up and said to the emperor:

"It is about the survival of Anterasu, whether it is the Mithridates Kingdom, the Pope, or even those chiefs in the eastern desert, all must contribute."

He deliberately left out the Frankish kingdom, which is related to a historical legacy and has a long history. The original Frankish region was not a country, but the chiefdom of a group of barbarians. It belonged to the meat on the cutting board of the empire, and you could take a bite when you were free.

However, the ninth emperor, Carinus, was in a daze in his later years. He listened to the instigation of the barbarian lover, and coincidentally happened to be a traitor. Frank Sharmani, a national hero that he has not met in a century, was born. In the case of the empire's overseas expedition, and the elites were all out, he took the opportunity to establish a unified kingdom.

Under the conditions of immature technology, the result of using troops across the ocean is obvious. Even if the national strength is dominant, it cannot help but consume for a long time.

There is no room for snoring on the side of the couch. Of course, the Rosevians understand this truth. After several years of training and recuperation, when they were preparing to annex the Frankish kingdom, it coincided with the rise of the Catholic Church. After the war-fighting Achaemenian Empire was controlled by the Pope, it suddenly became a big country enough to partially compete with Rosevia, and launched a ten-year holy war in the name of establishing the Kingdom of the Lord.

While Rosevia was tasked with protecting the world, she also had to maintain a two-front battle against the Franks and Achaemenes. From time to time, the Mithridates kingdom sent the navy to add to the chaos, and finally the empire was dragged down abruptly.

However, God Blessed the Empire. A few years later, when Yusius the Great ascended the throne, he was committed to reforming the political system, perfecting the code of law, and creating a king-selection ceremony in order to put an end to the chaos of the monarch. Rosevia was able to sweep away the decline and rejuvenate again, just as she was sharpening her knife to the pigs and sheep... Mistertin came again...

In the hundreds of years since then, although the empire has an overwhelming advantage, it has been dragged down by various external factors and has never had the opportunity to swallow this piece of fat.

To this day, when he ascended the throne, Rosevia's national strength was unparalleled. It's a pity that it is also a big country. It was hanged and beaten in a fancy way by the two army groups of the empire. It was a small propaganda in three years and a big propaganda in five years.

Under this kind of national hatred, Emperor Roservia wanted to order his vassals to belong to the Fan State in the name of Divine Sovereign... It seemed a little difficult, and the smart consuls chose to ignore them. Anyway, the other party has no strength.
