Chapter 243

Falco was shocked.

For some reason, looking at the pitch-black eyes in the birdbeak mask, he had a feeling that what the other party said... was actually true!

The other party would really kill them!

He subconsciously took a step back and shouted loudly, "Who are you!"

"Black Feather, I think that's what you guys call me." Wang Quan waved his hand, and a faint black and red mist began to appear around his body. "But in fact, I'm just a birdbeak mask man passing by."

"You're the guy who killed the Knights' priest?!"

Falco was shocked.

How the hell did they meet in person?

It was really a case of Li Gui meeting Li Kui!

Or in other words, the clone had clashed with the ancestor version.

"Then..." Wang Quan smiled and said in a hoarse voice, "Let's start the game."

...

In the Palace of Versailles, King Louis XVIII was hosting a banquet for his ministers.

Prince Louis XIX, who was sitting below, grew angrier as he watched the nobles and ministers toasting each other, singing and dancing peacefully. The more he watched, the angrier he became, and the angrier he became.

Finally, he could not take it anymore. He threw his knife and fork and stood up. "Damn it! How did the country become like this?! "

The lively atmosphere of the banquet instantly fell silent.

Sitting at the head of the long table, the smile on Louis XVIII's face disappeared. He said coldly, "Sit down!"

"Is this the time for a banquet?" Louis XIX did not listen.

He even pointed at the other ministers and said bitterly, "Your Majesty! How can you govern the country with such vermin? "

Before Louis XVIII could speak, Bord, the commander of the Glorious Sun Knights, who was sitting next to him, frowned slightly but still did not say a word.

A noble stood up and retorted, "Are you going to rebel?"

"Rebel?" Louis XIX refuted loudly. "For me, there are no two suns in the sky! There is only one sun, Your Majesty! "

"But!"

He was afraid of adding a "but" to his words.

"But everyone in the Royal Legion is very simple. They are all born to be loyal to France! How can they be used to suppress civilians? "

"Civilians?" Commander Olga, the commander of the Royal Knights of the Kingdom of France, who was also a noble of the kingdom, snorted. "The Royal Knights are already the most elite group of knights in the Kingdom of France.

"But those guys are not even afraid of the knights. They are not ordinary civilians!

"They are obviously all thugs!"

He turned around and bowed to King Louis XVIII. "Your Majesty! We can't hesitate anymore! We must deal a heavy blow to these thugs! "

Bord, the commander of the Glorious Sun Knights stationed in Paris of the Church of the Thanatos, looked on coldly.

His choice was to wait for the right price and not take a side for the time being.

However, Louis XIX had a different opinion. "How can you say that they are thugs? Your Majesty! The people are the cornerstone of the country! Without them, who will pay taxes for us? Who will work in our factories? Who will grow food? Where will the delicious food and wine that you eat here come from? So, we must not suppress them! "

"Then, Your Highness, what do you think we should do?" Someone began to play the role.

Louis XIX glanced around and said in high spirits, "Have you ever raised a dog?

"For animals like dogs, as long as you give them a ball, they can play on their own for a whole day.

"It's the same for civilians.

"Reduce the work in the factories moderately and give them extra time for entertainment. Then, they will automatically pursue happiness and won't think about riots anymore.

"And the products produced by the factories can't only be consumed by the nobles. We must let the civilians start to participate in the consumption! In this way, the economy of our country can surpass that of England and become the largest country in Europe! "

"Stop joking, Your Highness." The Minister of Economy snorted. "Do you know why Sweden couldn't compete with England? It's because Sweden is too kind compared to England! "

"But if all the children die in the factories, where will the future of the country come from?" Louis XIX said angrily, "You won't even have a chance to have children, and you'll be working in a factory in 20 years!"

"This …"

The Minister of Economic Affairs was speechless.

The commander of the Royal Knights, Olga, raised another objection. "But how do we pacify the mob? With the bird-masked man around, they were united as if they had found their backbone! There were even quite a number of people who imitated his actions!

"Damn it! It's as if we, the Royal Knights, do not exist! "

"That's right, the bird-beaked monster must be killed! They absolutely could not be tolerated! Moreover, you can smear his reputation. I'm sure many of you have already done so. "

Louis XIX looked at Viscount Morafor, who was sitting in the back. "Viscount Morafor, your family has done great things!"

Viscount Morafor's face turned pale, and he could not speak.

Louis XIX turned to Viscount Lafa, who was sitting in the corner. "Lafa, go home and have a look. If you go back early, you might still be saved. "

Viscount Lafa, who had a mustache and looked very scholarly, suddenly had a change of expression. He seemed to have understood something.

After glaring at Viscount Morafor, he got up and nodded, then turned around and left quickly.

"Your Highness! How can you do this! "

"Why not!"

"Your Highness! Are you trying to cut yourself off from the nobles? Do you think that the weapons in our hands are not good? "

"My sword is not bad either!"

"Shut up!"

King Louis XVIII of France finally lost his temper.

He slammed the table, and everyone fell silent.

He slowly got up, glanced at the crowd, and then slowly said, "What do you think this place is? Is the Palace of Versailles a gathering place for mobs?

"Do you bastards still care about me? Do you want me to send all of you to Orleans to farm? "

No one dared to answer.

He glanced at the ministers, capitalists, and military members, and then said, "The Kingdom of France has nine ministers, and I have to dismiss seven of them.

"The Secretariat has 18 secretaries, and I have to dismiss 14 of them.

"Look at these 23 people! Which one of them doesn't have white hair? Which one of them isn't a pillar of the kingdom? Which one of them isn't my children by marriage? Which one of them isn't a hereditary noble? They are rotten, and my heart is going to break!

"My ancestors handed over the country to me, but it ended up like this. I am heartbroken. I have sinned against the country, and I have let down my ancestors, and I have let down the heavens and the earth. I wish I could dismiss myself! And all of you, although all of you are standing in the Palace of Versailles in a dignified manner, are you all so clean? I know that there are some among you who are even more corrupt than these 23 people!

"I advise you to take out your hearts, lungs, and intestines, dry them, wash them, and tidy them up! When I first ascended the throne, I thought that the biggest enemy of the Kingdom of France was Belgium.

"I conquered Belgium and asked them to pay tribute, and then I thought that the biggest enemy was Germany.

"I cooperated with the Vatican to destroy Germany, and the Netherlands became a thorn in France's side!

"Ah? I signed a non-aggression treaty with the Netherlands, and England became a thorn in France's side!

"Now England is in chaos, and it is the time for France to show its great plans, but now there is a riot!

"I am now more and more clear that the thorn in France's side is not outside, but in Paris, in this Palace of Versailles! It is among my princes, princesses, ministers, nobles, and merchants!

"If we are rotten here, France will be rotten, and if you are all rotten, mobs will rise up in all parts of France, and we will die a terrible death!"

Everyone was speechless.

It was the first time they had seen the good-tempered Louis XVIII so angry.

Even Bord, the commander of the Glorious Sun Knights, could not help but look askance.

If the king of France went there to hide his strength and bide his time, then this man must be careful! What happened here must be reported back to the Vatican!

He continued to observe in secret.

Louis XVIII vented his anger, and his tone became calm.

"The mob must be suppressed, and the sharp-mouthed monsters must be suppressed. They are no longer people, but bandits. Bandits must be eliminated at any time, and they must be eliminated!

"Think about it, right here, everyone is drinking wine and chatting, and suddenly you receive news that your family has been destroyed by the bandits with the sharp-mouthed masks. Can you accept it?

"So I can understand Lafayette. But I also warn you, don't attack each other in the name of the bandits with the sharp-mouthed masks! You are the pillars of France! To resist foreign aggression, you must first stabilize the internal situation! How are we going to deal with the mob when there are problems among the nobles? "

After a long speech, Louis XVIII felt a little tired.

He waved his hand, and the servant respectfully handed over the badge that mobilized the Royal Knights.

Louis XVIII looked at his son, and his eyes were full of gratification and satisfaction.

He was very pleased that he had a son.

"If I give you the Royal Knights, will you be able to solve the problem of the mob?"

"Of course!"

"Well, then …"

"Not good, Your Majesty!"

The guards of the Palace of Versailles rushed in.

"What's the matter? Don't panic!"

Louis XVIII's face darkened. He really did look a little like a king.

The guard looked at the nobles around him.

"Don't worry, all of you are the pillars of the country. You can say anything."

Hearing the king's words, the guard knelt on one knee and said, "Viscount Morafor's house was infiltrated by thugs with pointy mouths and masks. The viscount's second son, Falco Morafor, fought with the eight thugs until the last moment. In the end, they died together."

"What?!"

Viscount Morafor suddenly stood up, his face pale.

"Morafor, don't panic! You must maintain your noble demeanor! It's good that your eldest son is fine. Don't worry, I will compensate you. "

Louis XVIII comforted him and asked again, "What else?"

"Your Majesty …" The guard hesitated for a while and said in a low voice, "Your palace in Burgundy was broken into by thugs, and your three favorite horses … were all killed and eaten by the thugs …"

Louis XVIII glared angrily and cursed, "Damn unruly people! How dare they kill my horses! "

When he turned around, he was no longer as calm as before.

He snatched the badge from the servant's hand and stared at Louis XIX.

"Can I and the other ministers trust you?"

Louis XIX stood straight, left hand behind his back, right hand clenched fist on his left chest, and said loudly, "My feelings for France are only two words, loyalty!"

"Very good!"

Louis XVIII put the badge in his son's hand and encouraged him, "I will leave the suppression of the thugs to you."

"Yes!"

Louis XIX bowed his head respectfully.

Then … he raised his head, pulled out the flintlock from his waist, and shot his father directly in the chest.

"You …" Louis XVIII's eyes widened, and he slowly fell down, clutching his chest.

Louis XIX looked down at him with an expressionless face. "The only country I can be loyal to is France, and you, my father, will destroy France."
