Before going to bed that night, Meg told Amy and Anna a short story as usual.
Amy had already fallen asleep with Ugly Duckling in her arms. Anna, who was lying next to her, closed her eyes. Soon, she opened her eyes and looked at Meg.
"Anna, what's wrong? Can't sleep? "Meg asked softly. The little girl seemed to have something on her mind.
"I'm thinking if Big Sister Phyllis has reached the place, and if Big Sister Shirley is doing well …" Anna nodded with a worried expression.
Meg suddenly realized that the little one was worried about Phyllis and Shirley. She was really a sensible and kind child. He smiled, and said, "So that's what you're worried about. The people who sent Phyllis to the north have returned. They told me that Phyllis has safely reached the meeting place with the Night Elves, and they even met Shirley. She's doing well. She's not injured, and there's food now. Phyllis will cook for them."
"Really?" Anna's eyes lit up.
"Mm-hmm." Meg nodded with certainty.
"That's great. It's good that they're fine," Anna said with a smile.
"So, our little Anna should quickly go to bed. Otherwise, they'll be worried about whether you can sleep well and eat well," Meg said with a smile as he tucked Anna in.
"Mm-hmm." Anna closed her eyes obediently.
Meg switched off the lights, and went to the balcony to practice his swordsmanship for a while. He took a shower before lying down on the bed and thinking about the takeout.
Expanding the takeout section was a way for many restaurants to increase their revenue. However, that was on Earth. The convenience and speed of mobile ordering and the huge number of Yellow and Blue Knights provided the basic conditions for real-time delivery.
Now, not only were there no mobile phones, but there were also no telephones. How the customers ordered became the problem that Meg had to consider.
It's too unrealistic to forcefully bring this world into the age of telecommunications for a takeout. Let's not talk about how many years it would take to plan this. The most important thing is how to complete tomorrow's mission. Meg rejected the idea of popularizing telephones. After thinking seriously for a while, an idea suddenly flashed through his mind. The system's words gave him a good idea.
…
Tatari City was situated at the northwestern border of the Roth Empire. There were 50,000 imperial cavalrymen stationed there, and it was the most important military base at the northwestern border of the empire. Further west was the orcs' territory.
The orc tribes and the Roth Empire had been going through wars of varying degrees all year round. For the past few decades, the orcs had used their great power and mobility to pillage the villages and towns at the borders of the empire. The people at the borders had suffered immensely.
However, ever since Alex took over Tata, he no longer chased after the plundering orcs. Instead, he led his troops to the hinterland of the orcs three times and slaughtered several tribes that had invaded the borders of the Empire many times. He did not let a single one of them go.
Since then, the beastmen tribes no longer dared to cross the border to plunder. However, large and small wars never stopped at the northwest border.
Alex was no longer the City Lord of Tatari. Now, Crown Prince Sean was the City Lord of this majestic city. As the Commander-in-Chief of the Northwest Army, Sean was also the City Lord of this strategic town.
Yesterday, Sean had just returned from Rodu to the city lord's castle in Tatari.
In the city lord's castle, Sean and four to five armored generals gathered in the meeting hall.
A middle-aged general looked at Sean, and said, "Your Highness, the empire's Northwest Army is basically under your control now. It has a strength of 300,000, and they are all valiant cavalry that have been fighting against the orcs for a long time. His Majesty has not appointed you as the successor to the throne for a long time. Recently, he has been changing the deputy generals of the Northwest Army. What do you think … "
"You want me to rebel?" Sean looked up at that general with a cold voice.
That general did not avoid his gaze. He stood up decisively, and said, "Your Highness is wise and courageous. You have been fighting at the borders for more than 10 years, and have gone through life and death with us. We have long regarded you as the successor to the throne. That second highness has been living like a prince in Rodu since he was young. He doesn't know how to command troops, nor does he know the ferocity of the orcs. If he becomes the king, he will definitely not be a good king. If the king insists on appointing the second highness as the successor, we are willing to honor you as the king! "
The other generals also stood up at the same time, and respectfully said to Sean, "We are willing to honor Your Highness as the king!"
Sean looked at the generals, and his expression softened slightly. However, his voice was still low, and he said, "Father is still healthy. Don't mention the matter of the throne again, and don't mention it to anyone else. Otherwise, all of you and I will die."
"But …" That general still wanted to say something.
"Josh may have the support of the Magus Tower, but magic casters are ultimately just assistants. They can't achieve great things. He should be more anxious than I am. Why should we be anxious?" Sean chuckled as a sinister look flashed across his eyes.
…
Rodu, Magus Tower.
The towering Magus Tower could overlook the entire Rodu, and even the royal palace could be seen at a glance.
As the number of magic casters increased and the power of the Magus Tower increased, the status of the Magus Tower gradually became equal to that of the military.
The magic casters of the empire more or less had the mark of the Magus Tower on them. They fought in the army like the knights, guarding the empire's territory, and protecting the empire's citizens. They were deeply respected and loved by the citizens.
At this moment, on the top floor of the Magus Tower, Josh was standing by the window, looking at the similarly towering royal palace tower. He didn't know how long it would take for him to officially enter that palace and become the most powerful person on the Norland Continent.
Many years ago, as the second prince, he had never thought of becoming the master of that palace. Magic was more attractive to him than that throne that was studded with gems.
Until he met the elven princess who left a message on the top floor of the Magus Tower, he fell in love at first sight. That was it.
After that, Alex appeared.
Then, her heart ran away with him.
That was a man who made all the men in the world pale in comparison. He was like the brightest star that suddenly appeared. Even though he was the second prince of the empire, he was still so lowly that people could easily overlook him.
From then on, he understood that even if he spent his entire life learning magic, he would never be able to defeat Alex before the end of his life.
Thus, he began to crave and pursue power. A man, even if he was a god, would still be bitten to death by countless ants.
Three years ago, he thought that Alex was already dead, and that Irina's heart was about to belong to him.
However, three years later, he appeared again, still as powerful and invincible as ever, and stole her heart again.
Josh turned to Richard, who was standing behind him, and asked, "President, when can I become the king of the Roth Empire?"
"Soon." Richard cast his deep gaze toward the royal palace, and then looked up into the sky. A bright star was gradually dimming as if it had been covered by a layer of fog. He murmured to himself, "The Emperor Star is about to be destroyed, and a new king is about to be born!"
…
In a large courtyard in the northwestern corner of the royal palace, there were dozens of carpenters who were busy with their work.
Yuri sat on a high chair, looking at the mecha that had been modified to become even more majestic. He sighed, and said, "Idiot, do you think many people will die if we use this on the battlefield?"
"Your Highness, His Majesty said that this is to be used to guard the territory, and it can reduce the casualties of many knights," a servant at the side whispered in agreement.
"If it's just to guard the territory, who would dare to invade the empire apart from the giant dragons? If the giant dragons were to invade, these pieces of wood wouldn't be of much use. " Yuri shook his head, but there was still a hint of melancholy in his eyes. He looked up into the sky, and sadly said, "I suddenly want to play with that little idiot."
