Chapter 8: Dark spots appear

Emperor Alfred stood with his back on his back and looked out of the window. He could see the soldiers and coolies who were busy all the time moving materials. Watching this kind of scene is his favorite pastime when he comes to Kuroki Pass. When he wants to let his tired mind rest, he will look at these crowds that come and go like ants.
The ants work hard to build a nest for themselves, and these busy people build his empire. His ancestors commanded these "ants" one by one, extending the imperial territory to its present position. Now it was his turn to do so. But after actually starting to do this, he found that conquering was more difficult than he thought. Although they won the Kuroki Pass, this time they relied on tricks, not an upright victory. In the subsequent face-to-face battle, although he had a great advantage in strength, he had not won many victories in the frontal battle with the Chinese. This made the young emperor somewhat frustrated.
For the Chinese, he found many surprises, their tactics, their tools, their organization, all of which made him feel very strange and puzzled. These guns and cannons, which shoot out metal particles, are loaded with vehicles that many people drive with spars, and a dozen or so mages resonate and cast spells together. None of these have similar things anywhere on the mainland, nor have they appeared in any records or history books.
He feels that he has repeatedly failed in front of these forces, but this makes him believe that as long as he can defeat the Chinese and occupy their river bay new city at a huge cost, he can obtain these powerful forces. By that time, there may be no forces on the mainland to compete with him.
At this time his guard brought in a group of people. Alfred looked back. He was the Chancellor of the Treasury, the Duke of the Red Water City, the Hankes, the Duke of the Military, the Duke of Brownstone Bay, the Duke of Weber, the Grand Magician, Master Edel, and the Master Gandas. , As well as the black guard command Morett.
"Your Majesty. We are here at your call." Duke Hanicks asked after saluting.
"Has Master Edel finally finished his practice? Has the body felt restored?" Alfred asked.
"Your Majesty, I feel much better. The damage caused since the last avatar blew up has basically recovered." Edel replied.
Emperor Alfred patted Edel on the shoulder and said kindly, "It's great. These days I have always remembered the master's injury. The Chinese won several victories with us when the master was away. , You are an indispensable help for us to defeat the Chinese. "
"Willing to serve Your Majesty." Master Edel said saluting.
"There can be a loyal courtier like you, that is the favor of the of nature." Alfred beckoned, and a servant walked over with a tray, inside which was a storage ring. "Here are some The loot collected from the Chinese who died in the war has various magic crystals, scrolls and some magic props. Although there is nothing very special, but the quality is very good. "
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Edel accepted him respectfully.
"Very good!" Alfred nodded in satisfaction. "According to these days of preparation, the situation around Kuroki Pass has been consolidated, and our reserve corps arrived at Kuroki Pass and took over defense work. I am ready to go out The date is set for the day after tomorrow, do you think there is any problem? "
The Chancellor of the Exchequer said: "Your Majesty, please be assured that we have not stopped preparations for all kinds of materials. The personnel, food and weapons are already in place and you can call them at any time."
Duke Webber, the military secretary, said: "The reorganization of the Black Guard, the Beast Legion and the Common Legion has been completed. According to the previous plan, we can invest an army of about 40,000 people and go straight to Hewan New City. Because of the redeployment of Black Weihe Beast, the strength of this army is stronger than when we attacked the Blackwood Pass. "
Alfred glanced at the Black Guardian Commander Morriet. The latter shot his chest and assured him: "Your Majesty, our Black Guardian will be your sharp knife into the Hewan New City! We"
auzw.com Morriet said half of his voice slowly, because he was frightened to see Emperor Alfred ’s green eyes staring at his neck, his brows frowned. , As if I saw something very strange.
"Your Majesty?" Molet asked softly.
"Morette, why are there small black spots on your neck?" Alfred asked.
"Little spot?" Morriet hurriedly touched his neck with his hands, but did not feel any protrusions or abnormalities. He looked to Master Edel for help. The latter hand touched in the air, and a smooth mirror appeared in the air.
Morriet looked at it from left to right, and found that there were really small black spots on his throat and cheeks, "What's going on here? Me, why don't I know that I have grown this thing?"
"Do any of you know what this is?" Alfred asked the others.
The crowd shook their heads one after another.
"What do you think it looks like?" Master Gandas said uncertainly.
"Morette, do you feel any discomfort?" Emperor Alfred asked.
Morriet just wanted to pat his chest to ensure that he was as strong as a cow. Suddenly he felt a little dizzy. He said, "Your Majesty, I seem to be a little weak in energy, and people feel a little tired. This is the feeling I felt after getting up today. Although I ’m busy making various preparations, I do n’t feel that way.

"Please check with a mage who is good at treatment. We will start the operation the day after tomorrow, you must not have a problem at this time." Emperor Alfred said.
"Yes! Your Majesty." Morriet replied.
Just then, the sound of metal falling to the ground came from the window, followed by several exclamations. Alfred looked outside. It seemed that on the main road, two soldiers carrying materials fell to the ground, they were carrying The weapons and armor scattered on the ground.
The blood of the Emerald Dragon gave the members of the royal family extraordinary sight. Alfred narrowed his eyes slightly and looked over there, his expression more serious than before.
"Black spots? These two soldiers also seem to have black spots on their bodies, which is more serious than Morrett." Alfred said, "It seems that this is not a separate incident, we must go and take a look."
The emperor jumped directly through the window and jumped from the second floor. Then he leaped gently in the direction of the soldiers falling to the ground. The ministers beside him did not dare to neglect, including Mollet, who was still in the "mirror", jumped out of the window and chased him in the direction of the emperor.
