[Eternal Castle, Royal Palace District]
Han Dong only had the privilege to enter this area because of the Duchess.
Walking along the luxuriously decorated corridors, the patrolling guards all lowered their heads in front of the Duchess and addressed her respectfully.
The aura exuded by each of the Imperial Guardsmen made Han Dong shudder.
"Nicholas, do you know how the Holy City's Royal Family was formed?"
"Did the former King of Italos pass it down through the 'hereditary system'?"
"No … … More than two hundred years ago.
The King of Italos, Vittorio Emanuele II, died when the Hybrid Demons awakened. The exiles from all over Europe gathered in Italos and drove away the few Hybrid Demons to build the Holy City.
As the Holy City stabilized and more and more people appeared, the Holy City elected the [Parliamentary Monarchy]. A few people with strength, wisdom, and virtue were all high-ranking members of parliament.
Under their supervision, a special Royal Family system was established.
As the era changed, the meaning of the Royal Family changed.
Since it was the symbol of the highest status, it had to be the strongest in the Destiny Realm.
At that time, before the formation of the Knight Orders, the highest goal of the people with fate was to become a member of the Royal Family with their own strength. "
"Commander Shaya, you mean … … the Royal Family members were selected through some kind of competition?"
"That's right, rather than 'Royal Family'.
You can think of it as the 'First Generation Knight Orders'. Some of the older generation liked to call the Royal Family NO. ZERO, 'Knight Orders Zero'.
Later, the formation of the Thirteen Knight Orders and the detailed establishment of the Royal Family system were derived from the rules of the Royal Family.
Of course, as time passed, the Holy City's Royal Family changed.
The fighting power of the Holy City gradually leaned towards the [Thirteen Knights], and the royal family slowly retreated behind the scenes. Some descendants of the royal knights were also counted as members of the royal family and received certain preferential treatment in the Holy City.
The Royal Family also no longer recruited directly from the Knights but secretly recruited directly from the Thirteen Knight Orders. "
"Knight Orders Zero … … That means these guards belong to the Royal Family.
Then wouldn't the King be a commander? "
"You're not qualified to know about the King. Come in first … … I have something to ask you."
Along with Xia Ya's push and pull.
Han Dong was dragged into a luxurious bedroom that emitted a unique fragrance.
The fishy smell and red decorations were obviously Duchess Shaya's quarters in the Royal District.
"I'll lend you my bed to rest … But before you sleep, there's something I need to talk to you about."
Before Han Dong could react, he was pushed onto the soft bed.
"… What's the matter, Commander Xia Ya?"
In such a strange atmosphere, Han Dong had a very bad premonition. He was afraid that if he continued to delve deeper, his protagonist aura would not be able to withstand it.
"I heard that the council is interested in recruiting you.
However, since you participated in the Great Expedition, even if you want to be an 'intern member', you have to wait until the end of the Great Expedition … At that time, you will join the Parliament as a 'returnee of the Great Expedition', and there will be less gossip.
Before that, are you interested in joining the Royal Family?
As a Duchess, I happen to have an extra "training slot" under my name … Moreover, the members of the royal family who are directly recruited by me will receive the same privileges as Count.
You will have more opportunities here. "
According to Han Dong's understanding, the Royal Family was more like an elite training camp.
"By the way, isn't Senior Lucius good?"
"Lucius is indeed good … But he has other things to do in the Scarlet Knights. Moreover, you are more interesting in comparison, especially the [Sacred Blood Incident] that happened last night.
Are you willing to come? "
"Commander Xia Ya, I'm already too busy in the Secret Word Knights. If I have the title of the Royal Family, my [Freedom] will be completely deprived.
As Commander Xia Ya knows, I'm in contact with many people in private.
I also have many secrets and some necessary things that I need to deal with and supervise personally … Thank you for your kindness, Commander Xia Ya, but I don't have enough energy.
Even if it's the Parliament, I will try my best to refuse.
Compared to power, I prefer freedom. I hope Commander Xia Ya can understand. "
While Han Dong tactfully refused.
The shadow of the whip flashed.
Smack!
The familiar whipping feeling spread throughout Han Dong's body, causing him to roll around on the bed in pain.
However, while he was rolling around, Han Dong felt a nourishing blood energy spread throughout his body, completely healing the accumulated injuries in his body.
Next, he only needed to have a good sleep to recover to his best state.
"Humph … Hurry up and rest. I'll call you before the expeditionary army departs."
Before Han Dong could thank her, Xia Ya had already left.
Han Dong put his hands behind his head and stared at the ceiling. "Commander Xia Ya probably invited me to join the Royal Family for some power struggle … Sigh, I don't even have time for research, let alone politics.
Let's sleep. Hopefully, Dr. Swollen has already 'packed' everything outside the city. "
While Han Dong was sleeping soundly in the Duke's bedroom.
[Between the Thrones]
The Machinery Faith's basic cultivation of the "Power Armor" had been completed.
In the next phase, all the special forces formed for the Great Expedition would be deployed.
Including:
1. The [Combat Nun] that absolutely countered the Hybrid Demons.
2. Taken from the Fallen Knights in the Tal Prison, the research of the Machinery Faith combined with the "Resurrection Potion" provided by Han Dong to create the [Synthetic Brain Death Soldier], a zombie force that retained the ability of a knight, replaced the body with mechanical prosthetics, and installed an information collector in the body.
3. The [Eternal Night Wolves] that were ten times faster than the expeditionary army for reconnaissance and surprise attacks.
4. Boundary Masters selected from the Sorcerer Knight Legion and the Misfortune Knight Legion would form the [Magic Net Envoys]. They could simultaneously create a Magic Net Boundary that covered the expeditionary army at any time and under any circumstances.
5. The [Eye of the Expedition] formed by the Crow Company under the Knights of Plague, the members of the Lightless Religion under the Wind Knight Legion, the Writer's Association, and the Prophet's Association to provide large-scale reconnaissance and illusion defense for the Great Expedition.
6. There were also some special parts that did not need to be separated from the legions due to their secrecy.
At the same time.
From the back of the Eternal Castle, several dragons from the magic world flew and stopped on the pillars around the square under the control of the Imperial Army.
Some of the [Imperial Army Dragon Riders] would cooperate with the expeditionary army's air force to join the Great Expedition.
Controlling the Dragon race was not as simple as spending Destiny Points.
Similar to how Malone became the King of Hell, individuals had to go to the Destiny World where the dragons existed and undergo the extremely difficult "Dragon Knight Examination".
Finally, the Great Demon Captain gave a speech about the Great Expedition, which involved the stages of the Great Expedition, the estimated time plan, and the final goal of the Great Expedition.
At the end of the impassioned speech, the emotions of the knights were raised to the highest.
The dragons standing around the square raised their noble heads and let out a deafening roar.
At this time, the Great Demon Captain took another step forward.
On his back, a "Demonic Wing" that was more than ten meters long suddenly grew out.
Standing at the front of the bird's eye view,
Straightening his arm,
Pointing directly to the north, which was the final destination of the Great Expedition, the nest of a certain old king:
[City of London. Londinium.]
A loud and excited voice came from the mouth of the Great Demon Captain.
Resounding between the Thrones,
Suppressing the roars of several dragons,
Spreading throughout the Holy City,
"We are invincible in front of us!"
