C18 Missing
The destruction of the city was an easy task. The moment the city walls collapsed, the city walls were destroyed.
It was only in the evening that the prisoners were subdued and controlled. Andy stood in Antoine's courtyard, which was filled with the personal taste of Antoine and filled with its exquisite and luxurious narcissism.
Maier calmly sat on her seat, as if she had already expected this result. Thus, when Andy entered, she did not even glance at Andy. Her hand caressed the golden armrest of the throne, and only when Andy walked in front of her, she raised her head, "You won."
Andy looked at the woman. She didn't look healthy at all, and her skin didn't look like it belonged to a woman who lived like a prince, so he was very polite to Meyer.
"I hardly knew him. I only saw him once, the day he sent for me, when he said he was my father, and then we parted. He arranged for me to be a cook in the kitchen of this house until news of his death arrived. "
There was not the slightest hint of self-pity in Meyer's words. She calmly finished her sentence and stood up. "Do you want to sit down?"
Andy nodded, and Meyer stepped aside and headed outside. Andy called out to her, "What are you going to do?"
"Help the kitchen." Meyer was standing in the middle of the hall. The light from the chandelier shone on her head, making her appear as if she was covered in a layer of radiance. Her hair was not the blond hair of the imperial family, but was a golden-brown color. Andy looked at her. "I'm your uncle, and now you're the lord's niece. You don't need to help the kitchen. You can become a noble lady."
Meyer didn't look happy at all, she just nodded, then looked at Andy: "What about you? "What are you?"
"Of course it's the Lord!" Andy was surprised.
"Apart from the Lord, I know you pursue higher things." Meyer looked at Andy, who nodded. "That's right."
"So, a city, a piece of land to you is just a step to the position of the French Emperor. You are not like how you carefully manage this land, you do not plan to take care of the people here, you are the same as Antoine, take them into your home and have them help with the kitchen." She turned around and said, "I think it's better if I go to the kitchen to help out the chefs."
As Andy sat in the Lord's chair, watching the empty hall, he felt more and more strange. He raised his voice and ordered everyone to be brought before him.
Li Xiaofei stood in the hall watching Andy sit on the throne. He felt a little sad in his heart, he couldn't explain why. Obviously, Andy's current glory was limitless, so he was very likely to win in the future.
Andy looked at the person standing beside her. He slowly got up, walked to the side of the Lord's seat, and held onto Gold's back. "I think we need to adjust our path."
Everyone quieted down, waiting for Andy to deploy his next battle plan.
"I am a person with a lowly status within the clan. The same goes for you all, and the same for all of you. My noble cousins look down on me and look down on you all. We've lived under this bullshit rule, we've endured years of hoping to change that rule, and now we're going, we're going to war, we've won. " Andy swept her eyes over the audience. Li Xiaofei suddenly found that Andy's eyes were no longer as fanatical as before.
"However, we cannot easily forget about our past. As I said before I set out, we are going to create a new world, we are going to create new rules, so I now declare that there is no longer any discrimination against blood in every inch of the land under my rule. "Bastards, you do not deserve to inherit your family property, do not deserve to own a family, but you can join the army and study magic. You can establish your own family and create your own family property. Andy stretched out her hand and Li Xiaofei found that there were people in the crowd who started to cry. They were crying and kneeling on the ground, mumbling some kind of sentence.
"The users and successors of the dark sorcery, I will give you a fair court and a fair trial. If you receive amnesty from the court, you will be granted the same right to live as ordinary people. In every inch of land that I control, there will no longer be slaughter without reason." His eyes fell on Li Xiaofei's face with an unspoken understanding, "Also, those people who oppose me and help my enemy, when you are defeated by me, if you swear allegiance to me, I will leave you with your lives, those who betray me and those who do not intend to serve me, I will exile you, killing is not my goal, what I want is true submission, I want those who doubt me to look carefully, when my people live a peaceful life, they will change their minds."
Andy turned around and sat on the seat of the Lord, "Now, please call me the Golden Flame King!"
Everyone submitted. They knelt down on one knee, and all of the captives removed their restrictions. They watched this scene in a daze. Some chose to flee the city, but no one stopped them. Some chose to kneel down and submit.
Li Xiaofei looked at Selina before they knelt on one knee together. A single vow was not enough to show that the road ahead would be smooth sailing, but at least we were of the same mind at the beginning and hoped that we could go all the way to the end in the future.
Before Andy left, she changed the name of the city to Gold River Bay, appointed Meyer as the Lord, and then led her even stronger team towards the next target. Meyer's pale face still had no expression, she stood on the tower and watched Andy's team waving the golden flag as they left, then turned back and returned to the Lord's room.
Meyer scribbled a letter and was carried away by a raven.
When they were only three days away from the Gold River Bay city, Andy's team arrived at a church castle. This castle was very small, it looked like it was only the size of three windmill mills, and it was very old. At the top of the castle was a blue flag.
Lions represented lightning magic, snakes represented fire magic, horses represented wind magic, and women represented water magic.
This castle had a flag on it, which meant that there was only fire magic in the castle.
When Andy and the others approached the castle, and before they could shout, the gate of the castle was already opened, not open but blown open. The crowd thought they had been attacked, and just as they were about to fight back, they found a person standing beside Andy's horse, holding onto the horse's butt and coughing, his whole body covered in smoke, and they could still see that he was wearing the uniform of a Magister, and that he was an old man.
"Who are you?" Suddenly being so close to them, Andy was so scared that she wanted to dodge. The old man let go of her and asked in a daze, "Who are you?"
Selina was already cheering as she rushed over. "Uncle Berkeley!"
"Heavens, my little red-haired monster, why have you come?" Berkeley hugged Selina because he was covered in soot. When they separated again, Selina's clothes were dyed black and they smiled at each other. Then Selina called out to the others, "We will set up camp here tonight. This is my uncle's castle."
Since the water had rushed into the Dragon King's Temple, Andy and the others naturally went inside the castle to be guests. The rest of the soldiers were camping outside the city, it was not because they didn't want to be invited inside, but because the castle was too small, they couldn't even turn around after going in.
He put his arm around Selina's shoulders and kept explaining to her about the experiment he was conducting. Li Xiaofei walked into the room and looked at the dark room. He wondered if anyone else had gotten injured here.
"Uncle Berkeley, this is my lover." Selina wrapped her arms around Li Xiaofei's neck and dragged him in front of Berkeley. Li Xiaofei was suddenly dragged to meet his parents, and after he had finished looking him up and down, Berkeley shook his head and said, "Your father won't like him. He looks, uh, like a laborer."
Li Xiaofei really wanted to know what the coolies looked like. He greeted the Berkeley ancestors silently in his heart and did not refute them with a smile.
There were not many daily necessities in Berkeley's castle, and each of them had a bowl of potato soup and a loaf of bread, along with a cup of mead. Li Xiaofei had not eaten such a simple meal since he came to this world, so the others were not unfamiliar with it.
Berkeley ate badly and his beard was covered with potato soup, which made Li Xiaofei feel nauseous.
"You are going to fight for the position of the Shakyamuni?" Berkeley looked at Andy, who nodded. "Yes, sir."
"Alright." Berkeley nodded, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and waved his hand. Andy was shackled by a thick chain, and before anyone could react, Berkeley grabbed Andy with one hand and threw a handful of unknown items into the fireplace. After a puff of smoke, both Berkeley and Andy disappeared.
Everyone panickedly searched through the entire castle, but they still couldn't find him. The barracks outside were completely silent. They still didn't know that Andy had been taken away.
Selina stood there in a daze. Li Xiaofei stood up. "We cannot let the soldiers outside find out. Their morale will be shaken."
"Then what should we do? How do I get Andy back? " Zoe looked anxiously at the fireplace. Charlie was checking to see if there was any powder that had been thrown by Berkeley, so that he could understand what Berkeley had done.
"Find out if there are any letters from Berkeley in the castle. He must bring Andy to someone else. Charlie, continue to find out what Berkeley used. The others will follow me." With Li Xiaofei in the lead, the rest of the team began inspecting the castle.
