Skilled Pikemen Don't Leash

And at this moment, someone took them a hand.

"Needless to say, it must be those nobles in the empire, right?" Yi Guang smiled slightly, "The world has changed, betting on both sides, this method is not new."

"General Lanza is really a smart man. That's right, it was the local prefect who was occupied by us at the time. He secretly sent people to contact us." Cassius smiled helplessly, "From that time on, we discovered that, The nobles of the empire actually don't care much about this country."

Raising bandits with self-respect, or betting on both sides, in short, for some unknown reason, the revolutionary army received help from the prefect and some nobles in his jurisdiction.While they were carrying out the so-called counter-insurgency, they demanded military expenses and money from the empire, and at the same time they funded the revolutionary army and made it stronger.For Yiguang, this kind of thing is not difficult to understand. It is nothing more than the growing contradiction between the empire and the nobles, which makes some nobles resentful, but they cannot clearly defy the imperial power.The emergence of the revolutionary army just gave them some excuses. They used this to raise their own self-respect, and even sent young people from their families to join the revolutionary army to gradually replace the inside of this group.

The limitation of the peasant class is not as simple as a dry sentence in the textbook, but the final result of a mixture of various factors.First of all, most of the peasant class in the feudal era had no education, let alone management experience and ability, and they didn't know a few big characters - the "Night Raid" group was an example, except for Chelsea and BOSS, who had received systematic education. , Lubbock, the education level of other people is only out of illiteracy. This is still an elite killer selected by the revolutionary army.It is definitely impossible to be illiterate to carry out a latent mission.

Without a sufficient base of educated people, it is impossible to have enough talents. The more the revolutionary army grows, the more obvious the dilemma of its lack of managers and senior generals will become.After all, the talent for management and war is innate, but personal ability is acquired. Under the system in which the feudal aristocracy monopolized knowledge and official positions, in addition to the aristocracy, the middle class like the rich peasants and wealthy businessmen have such conditions to cultivate future generations. .But the chances of such a person joining the revolutionary army are too low.

Therefore, the revolutionary army failed from the very beginning.Although on the surface, it has expanded from a city at the very beginning to the heyday, and once expanded to the southwestern territory of the entire empire.However, its interior has completely changed.

The towns laid down by the revolutionary army were managed by the talents of the local nobles. The middle and senior generals in the army were also young offshoots of the noble families. However, in just over ten years, Cassius and his companions found themselves empty. .The army of the revolutionary army has undergone essential changes. They are no longer the army of the suffering people resisting tyranny, but the army of the new dynasty fighting for hegemony in the world.If there is any difference between them, it is only a group of farmers or small businessmen from the middle and lower classes as their leaders.

"What is this? Overthrow the empire and then build a new empire with our group of people?" Cassius smiled distressedly, "But the people who rule this new country are still those aristocratic families and local tyrants, right? It's just that In the imperial court of the imperial capital, replaced by us people? Oh, maybe if I cooperate enough, I can become the emperor. But, this is not the revolutionary army I want..."

"It's incomprehensible. The people at the lower levels have no ability to govern the country. The knowledge of the whole world is in the hands of the nobles." Yiguang looked calm, "You should have noticed that relying on such a group of people, the revolution cannot succeed."

"Yes, I understand, but it's too late." Cassius sighed, "When I tried to turn the situation around, I was no longer able to dominate the will of the revolutionary army, no matter if they cooperated with foreign nations in the West. , or various policies that harm the people, I have become a superfluous person, a mascot."

"So, have you been abandoned by them when you appeared here?" Yi Guang looked at this old man who created the revolutionary army with one hand, but may have to watch it go to destruction with his own eyes, "Where did they go?"

"No, no, they didn't run away. I have designed the rest of the people to be locked here, and none of them can escape. After all, a large number of troops are going to besiege the imperial capital, and it is much easier for me to move." The old man A strange smile appeared on his face, "Although my founder has basically become a mascot, I still have a little bit of strength. There is no problem in dragging them to be buried with them. General Lanza, I am very happy, and I came to pay my funeral today. Man, it's you, not Bud or Esders. Otherwise, I'd probably have taken this fort and buried it together for a long time."

"What?" Yi Guang frowned suspiciously.

"I have a gift for you. General Lanza, this is a gift that can only be used in your hands." Cassius took out a map from behind, "You first Don't ask me what these are, you just need to find them, and you can see what's inside."

"Why me?" Yi Guang was confused.

"Because, you're the only guy who doesn't think about the nobles or the empire, but only fights to save 'more people'." Cassius smiled and said, "That's what Najeshtan told me. , I still believe in her vision. Moreover, my Teigu will not lie to me, this is a very divination-type Tegu. The last person I see must be a person who can change the world , it told me so."

"Your last? This can't be done, I need you to live, and then escort the imperial capital to await trial." Yi Guang frowned, with a bad premonition in his heart.

"Boom boom boom!!!"

At this moment, a muffled sound quickly came from far to near, getting louder and louder, and soon it became a deafening explosion.Yi Guang looked at the old man in shock, but the other party gave him a slight smile: "I founded the revolutionary army myself, and since it is about to perish, it will perish in my own hands. General Lanza, I am very happy, You can come to my funeral."

As he said that, blood flowed from the corner of the old man's mouth, and he collapsed to the ground—it turned out to be the poison that had been pre-filled in his teeth.

"Damn!" Yi Guang looked at Cassius, who had suddenly died suddenly, stomped his feet fiercely, and rushed out without saying a word.Cassius seems to have filled the entire fort with extremely high explosives, and the entire fort is currently in a state of disintegration.It doesn't matter to Yiguang, even if the entire fortress collapses, it has nothing to do with him, but everyone from the "Hunter" team is still in the fortress!

"Will! Black pupil! Borus! Where are you?!" While running around inside the fortress that was about to collapse, Iguang looked for his subordinates, "Can you hear me? Will!"

"boom--!"

There was only a bang, and a large hole was ripped out in a wall beside Yiguang. Will, who was wearing a "noble chariot", held the black pupil in one hand and the injured Porus in the other, and rushed from the hole. Come out and appear in front of Yi Guang.

"Sir Lanza, that's great, I finally found you." Will was stunned when he saw Yi Guang, and then a happy voice came from under the armor helmet, "These rebels actually buried explosives here, this It's a trap!"

"Trap?" Yi Guang shook his head gently, "Forget it, forget about it, let's go!"

Only Yi Guang knew that this explosion was not a trap at all, but a funeral, a funeral for an old man who founded the revolutionary army for his dreams and ambitions.With this explosion, the headquarters of the revolutionary army, as well as the struggling but sad life of the old man, as well as the tricks of the nobles betting on both ends, all vanished.Although there must be a large number of remnants of the revolutionary army operating in various places, but that is not important anymore. The main force was wiped out by Esdes in the imperial capital, and the headquarters was destroyed.Next, the army encircled and suppressed the rogues and carried out long-term investigation work.

"It's over, in fact, it's over."

Chapter 184 A Temporarily Calm Empire (End of Chi Chi)

The headquarters of the Revolutionary Army was reduced to ruins by Cassius' calculation and sorrow, which also represented the disintegration of the core of the Revolutionary Army.Taking advantage of the opportunity for the army to go north, Cassius used his last bit of power to launch a coup d'etat, imprisoning all the leaders of the revolutionary army who remained here in the headquarters.In this way, the administrative leadership of the revolutionary army was basically wiped out.And its military leaders followed the army northward to attack the imperial capital, and then fell deep into the front line formed by the guards led by Esdes.

In the end, three days after Yi Guang and others completed the beheading, the main force of the revolutionary army besieging the imperial capital and the rebels from all over the country were completely defeated. On the way to escape, he was defeated by the local army from the neighboring area who heard the news.At this point, the siege of the imperial capital was finally lifted, and the political turmoil caused by it also began to subside.

Although the revolutionary army still has at least tens of thousands of troops scattered all over the place, but now that this has lost its core leadership and lost most of the emperor's envoys, they have been demoted from the army to no threat. .These things are things to be dealt with slowly in the future. At least they have nothing to do with Yiguang now. Instead of thinking about them, it is better to think about how to calm Esdes' rage.

"How dare you come back? How dare you come back?! Don't run!"

Because of the previous incident of "UFOs falling from the sky" and "absconding in fear of crime", Esdes broke out indescribable anger towards his fiancé who had just returned to the imperial capital. After using it, it can be seen that this time it was really angry.After all, although Yiguang did it unintentionally, it did almost hurt Esdes.In desperation, Yi Guang could only hide while coaxing and deceiving, and even took out a diamond ring and made a marriage proposal that he could not make up for for a long time, and finally appeased Her Majesty the Queen. down.

However, it is finally time to finally confirm his intentions... Yiguang smiled complicatedly, perhaps it was time to confess everything to her.

"You said, when you're ready, let me tell you everything, are you ready now? Want to know?"

"I hope it's a story that interests me..."

"It's a pity, this is just a story of a coward who delusionally chases a hero in despair..."

Touching the ring that Yi Guang had just helped her put on the ring finger of her left hand, Esdes smiled in a good mood.This made Yiguang show an expression of admiration. It was not easy to see such a normal, completely arrogant smile on the Ice Queen who had some problems with her brain.

Well, Yi Guang suddenly felt that choosing such a woman with a brain problem as his wife, his brain is probably not normal - the so-called "crooked pot with a flat stove" is probably the case.However, just as the system said, think about it carefully, this chaotic and abnormal world does feel like home to you now.

Therefore, I want to make this chaotic and cruel world more orderly and gentle.My current strength is not enough, so I have to continue to become stronger, and I must continue to take risks.

[Main quest: The prestige of the Millennium Empire, the first stage has been completed.The quest rewards 500 Saint Quartz, 30000 points have been issued, the progress of unlocking the world management authority is 15%, and the world brand has been activated. Before the host completely dies, the world will be permanently bound to the host.

The second stage of the task begins, and the task of this stage has no time limit.

Mission content: With the power of the host himself, he will influence and change the whole world, and guide the development of the times.

Quest Reward: As the host's influence and changes on the world become more and more profound, more management permissions of this world will be slowly unlocked. When the world management permissions are opened to 100%, the host will become the creator of this world. 】

Suddenly, the mechanical sound of the system appeared in Yiguang's mind, and at the same time he found himself surrounded by a white light, and then he became one with himself at once.In an instant, the scenery in front of Yiguang's eyes changed, and the whole world seemed to have become illusory, but after a closer look, it seemed that nothing had changed.

Yiguang shook his hand, feeling the changes in his body and the large amount of information in his mind, showing an "interesting" smile.

……

"So, what exactly do you want to give me?"

After obtaining part of the world management authority, Yiguang also did several experiments to verify what the 15% world management authority could do.Among them, the function that he thinks is the best to use is the one he is currently experimenting with, the ability to teleport freely in the entire world of "Zhan Chi".Ignoring distance, ignoring consumption, and no cooling time, it was as if two images shot in different places were forcibly edited together. The scene just flashed, and Yiguang had already appeared where he wanted to go.It took Yiguang less than a second to reach the distance of nearly a thousand miles from the residence of the deputy commander of the imperial capital to the area occupied by the former revolutionary army in the mountains in the southwest of the empire.

"Sure enough, it has reached the power of the 'realm of the gods', which makes no sense." Looking at the scene surrounded by mountains in front of him, Yi Guang couldn't help but marvel.But this kind of amazement didn't last long, and he turned to look at the cave in front of him, "This is it."

After the riots in the imperial capital and the siege of the revolutionary army were successively quelled, Yiguang's long-term high-intensity work also came to an end.As the situation in the imperial capital gradually stabilized, the situation in the imperial capital city, and even the entire empire, began to improve. After the "conscience faction" came to power through this incident, they promulgated a series of decrees to stabilize people's hearts, restore social order and production, and at the same time abolished some of the "bad laws" and torture during the Ernest period.After this turmoil wiped out a group of die-hard elders and local tyrants, the politics and administration of the empire were immediately cleared up, and a little bit of the empire's reputation was restored among the people at the bottom.

At the same time, as the supreme ruler of the empire, the little emperor who was once controlled by Minister Ornest in applause, finally began to really learn how to govern the country under the guidance of a group of senior officials such as Jolly.After realizing that Ornest had deceived himself, the emperor, who was still a child, was furious and ordered the tomb built for Ornest that he ordered to be completely eradicated, and the rotting corpse was crushed to the bone. Raising ashes—it really is the temper of a child, especially a child who holds the power of the entire empire.

But in general, the situation of the entire empire is developing towards the better side.

Yiguang understands that this so-called "national peace and people's security" is only temporary, and the most fundamental problem has not been solved, so the seeds of tyranny and resistance will germinate again sooner or later.But these are not the things that Yiguang should think about now.

I have already completed the main quest in this world, so going to the new world is also a matter of the system, and I cannot stay in this world for a long time.

Before leaving, Yiguang suddenly remembered something, so he took the map that Cassius gave him, and came alone to a secluded mountainous area in the area originally occupied by the revolutionary army.He had been curious for a long time before, what the revolutionary army leader who had a dream but was oppressed and deteriorated by the dark reality left behind for him.

"This is……"

It was not until he opened the big iron box that was buried in this cave and was tightly sealed that the question finally had an answer.This answer did not surprise Yiguang, but after finally confirming the answer, Yiguang smiled rather helplessly.He just carefully picked up a directory-like booklet in the iron box, flipped through a few pages, and put it back intact.

"No wonder Cassius told me that this is a relic that can only be accepted by me." Looking at the contents of the box, Yiguang shook his head, "Esdes doesn't understand politics, and the general Ben They are royal clan members, and they are also a bit stupid and loyal. If the two of them get the things in this box, they will either be discarded at will or destroyed. But ah, you gave me this kind of thing, but It's really embarrassing."

Yiguang sighed, then closed the box, and reburied them back.

"Casius, you were so naive in the story, and you are the same now." Yi Guang shook his head, then sighed, "I know what you're thinking, but I'll keep this box for now. This should not be opened by me, nor should it be opened at this time. But I promise you that your efforts will not be wasted. One day in the future, the person who should really open him will come here, What's inside will also see the light of day again."

"It seems that before I leave, I still have one important thing to do." After Yiguang resealed and buried the iron box, he looked in the direction of the imperial capital and said to himself.

Then, on that night, the supreme ruler of the empire, determined to make up for the mistake he made when he was deceived by Ornest, became a little emperor of a generation of bright emperors, and had a strange dream.In the dream, there was a god who claimed to be the "Sun God Astra" and taught him some strange knowledge.At the same time, from this day on, whether it was the emperor's attendants or close officials like Jolly and the general, they all found that the emperor would always suddenly appear in a strange situation talking to himself.However, along with this strange "disease" like a demon, the little emperor showed extraordinary ability to govern the country, as well as insight and strategies beyond the content of his education, which shocked everyone.

Except Yiguang.

"Okay, the last thing is done." Yi Guang rubbed his temples, "All kinds of relevant knowledge exchanged from you, plus some ideological and political concepts of me as a modern person, and the personality of the little emperor himself. It's not easy to put these things together, how can the ordinary 'Whispers of the Ancient God' be so troublesome."

[This is what you asked me to do for you, and you told me you were tired after finishing it?Are you crazy? 】The system said dissatisfiedly.

"Can't I complain?" Yi Guang pouted. "Okay, where's the next world? Don't tell me you haven't decided yet."

[It has been decided, your current strength is enough, let's go to the plot of "FGO".Here, I just received a temporary recruitment mission, which is in the world of "FGO", but it is a cooperation and team battle mission. There are three people in the mission host, and they cooperate to assist the residents of the local plane to fight the reincarnation from the main god space. Invasion, are you going? 】

"Nani? Chaldea is so powerful, and there is still chaos in the city, do you still need us scumbags to help?" Yiguang said in shock, "Those who invaded the space reincarnation of the main god, I am afraid that they all already have the crown. Strength? If you don't want to go, do you want to deliver food?"

[No, this Chaldea that was invaded, the plot has only advanced to Chapter 2 Rome, and the level of power is not too high.According to the data comparison released by the superior system, you are fully qualified to enter this mission.Moreover, in this world line, the master of Chaldea is Fujimaru Tateka, not the Chaos Evil who tore Solomon apart.Overall, Chaldea is weak. ] Feeling that Yi Guang misunderstood something, the system explained.

"It turned out to be a normal plot world..." Yiguang immediately covered his face, "Then go, didn't you say that this kind of temporary recruitment task generally has more rewards?"

[Confirmed to participate in the temporary recruitment task? (Limited to three people, currently 1/3 are ready) Yes/No]

"confirm."

Chapter 185 Rome isn't over, but it's almost

In the distant past, when history and myth were not yet fully distinguished, there was the son of Mars, the god of war, who stood with his spear on the Palatine Hill.Then a great city, a splendid country, stood on the earth for a thousand years.

That city is the city of seven hills, and that country is the pinnacle of the entire Western classical civilization... That is the great country called "Rome".

"All roads lead to Rome", from the original city-state to the behemoth that incorporated the entire Mediterranean region into the territory and spanned the three continents of Asia, Europe and Africa, the millennium has endowed Rome with supreme glory and supreme pride.This is the country where gold and true red are intertwined, this is the place where the gods watch and favor, this is the center of the world!

Rome is immortal.

Rome is the world.

The Romans of this era think so... At least she thinks so, in order to be able to become an existence that matches the glory of this great country, she has always been on the road called "Emperor", working hard and conscientiously forward , trying to catch up with the predecessors who have left great names in history.

Thanks to her efforts, after several years, Rome has gradually emerged from the conspiracy and turmoil of the past, and prosperity and peace have returned to this great city.The whole empire, under her rule, also showed a thriving atmosphere, and her name was praised by people - Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, Roman Empire the fifth emperor.

However, all this was completely destroyed that day.

Claims to be an unknown regime composed of multiple "emperors", a united empire.They appeared on the land of Rome like a gust of wind, and in just one month, they swept across more than half of the Roman territory at an incredible speed, starting from the north of the empire.When he learned the news, the huge empire had been torn in half by this sudden and powerful force.

After getting the news, she quickly dispatched her own army and mobilized all the governors and local troops that she could mobilize in an attempt to destroy this force.However, this time, this rebellion is not as common as those ordinary rebellions in previous history.Not only did the army sent by Nero fail to quell the rebellion, but even during the period when she planned and dispatched troops, the so-called "United Empire" continued to expand like a plague.Soon, the area that Nero could control was only about one-third of the territory of Rome, and her army was rapidly collapsing.

Throughout the war, the "United Empire" showed inhuman strength. The Roman army, which was once invincible, was completely defeated and absorbed in the world in just one and a half months.The remnant army, under the pressure of the rebels' continuous compression and advancing front, kept retreating in the direction of the city of Rome.

Then, the so-called miracle happened.

First, several powerful beings named "Servants" joined his camp, and then there was a magician who claimed to be from the "Humanity Security Agency, Chaldea", who brought his "Servants" to become his own guest.The Servants, the transcendent beings who sublimated the great heroes of history, have shown their strength in this war to counter the almost unreasonable might of the "United Empire".For a time, the situation of the entire war had been significantly reversed, and at the same time, he had also learned the truth of the rebellion.

"The so-called 'United Empire' is actually an empire created by the heroic spirits of multiple Roman emperors who were summoned by the 'Holy Grail'. In other words, the reason why the 'United Empire' has the power to completely crush Rome is because Because there are also 'Servants' in them. At the same time, they hold the 'Holy Grail' in their hands, which is enough to distort the world."

The young magician apprentice from "Chaldea" and the magic teacher who disappeared by his side and seemed to be communicating through remote magic told him this, and the subsequent facts also proved that everything they said was true. real.When those "emperors" who left a splendid name in Roman history appeared in front of him, Nero's self-confidence was almost shattered.

Why?Why were the once Roman emperors re-summoned from the world of the dead to this era?Why, after they returned to the world of the living, would they raise a flag against themselves?

Don't you deserve to be the emperor of Rome?Even those great predecessors have already climbed out of the grave in anger?

"No no no, there is nothing worthy or unworthy, I don't even know your life, the current Roman emperor. I will do it. Just because I want to conquer Rome." However, facing Nero's question, The man in red, who was absolutely dominant among the kings of the "United Empire" and whose name was praised by the whole of Rome, and even the whole of Europe, showed an extremely indifferent expression, "My name is Caesar, the first citizen of Rome, the chief of the Senate, This time, I appear as a Rider. I am the dictator of Rome, and I am the founder of Rome! Since this almighty 'Holy Grail' has summoned me from Valhalla, I will rule Rome again! This time , there will be no more Pompey, and no more nasty elders who can stop me...and neither can you!"

All of a sudden, everyone understands that this Servant who leads the "United Empire", whose real name is "Caesar", and whose rank is Rider, is here simply to fulfill a long-cherished wish that he could not fulfill in his lifetime.This man who laid the foundation of the "Roman Empire" wants to use the power of the Holy Grail to complete the great cause he never accomplished before, and rule Rome in the name of the "Emperor"!

Yes, although his name "Caesar" has become the title of the Roman emperor and even the later European kings.But for this man, he was assassinated by a political enemy before he was about to become the legitimate supreme ruler of the whole of Rome, and died under the statue of his old enemy Pompey... This must be said to be a pity.This regret, after being summoned by the Holy Grail and holding the Holy Grail, seems to have penetrated into his soul, making his behavior somewhat different from when he was a living person.But so what?He is Caesar, the founder of the Roman Empire, who conquers everything. This is in line with his own style, isn't it?In particular, this time, he was summoned with the highest adaptability Rider class.

"Then let my light crush you... I will lay the foundation of the Empire here!"

Nero no longer wanted to recall how she survived in front of Caesar that day. Even in her dreams, she would dream that she was crushed by that divine mighty light, and then in a cold sweat. wake up.
