MTL - Heroes of Silver Moon-Chapter 745 : Delicate flower withered (2)

A secret military port on the east side of the Gru Mountains.

"Hold on! Hold on! Yes! That's it!" Under Simon's command, Alyosha drove the prototype and landed slowly on the runway, completing the flight test brilliantly.

Seeing that Alyosha opened the cabin safely, Guy smiled and said, "This kid is not bad!"

Simon shook his head: "This is just the most basic operation, and more practice is needed."

Guy said with a disapproving smile: "Don't ask for such strict requirements. It's already very good to be able to make it like this at the beginning. By the way, when will you be able to perfect the fighter?"

Now the prototype of Alyosha's test flight is just a flying iron shell, without any weapons on it, and there is still a big gap before it can be put into actual combat.

Simon shook his head again and sighed: "Step by step, the fighter planes and warships have not yet been finalized. You should use the prototypes and prototype ships for training first."

As long as the fighter planes and warships are finalized, they will be mass-produced soon. The most important thing is the pilots, and today's Silver Moon Kingdom cannot provide the logistical support of a modern fleet.

Therefore, he can only train personnel first, and the fighter planes and warships will not be built for several years.

While the two were chatting, the soldier hurriedly handed over a letter: "Your Majesty, the king's capital is urgent!"

Simon had a bad premonition in his heart. When he opened the envelope, his face turned pale and his body trembled slightly with anger.

Guy asked suspiciously: "Another **** is doing something?"

Simon nodded heavily, and handed the letter to Guy.

After receiving the letter, Guy quickly glanced at it, and his whole body was stunned like a lightning strike, and he murmured in disbelief: "Xi Ludi, was murdered?!"

Back then, he had been Xi Ludi's boyfriend, but it was only after Alicia stepped in that Xi Ludi chose Harris.

Even putting aside this relationship, Xi Ludi is also a core member of their group.

Siegel and the others died on the battlefield. He may be sad, but he will never be angry, because this is the fate of a soldier!

But Xiludi is different, she is just an ordinary woman who was murdered by her own people in the kingdom, how can this not make people angry!

Simon closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "I'll leave it to you first, I'll go back and have a look!"

Not only Xiludi was murdered, Blood Wolf was ambushed in the street, Earl Carmel launched a mutiny, and he left for less than a month, so many things happened!

Although it was expected before that the conservative forces of the nobles would counterattack, but this is too strong...

Guy nodded solemnly: "Well, leave it to me. You must find out the truth after you go back and avenge Xi Ludi!"

 …

Leaving the secret military port, Simon was silent all the way, and it didn't take long to arrive at the station of the new army.

In the interrogation room, Earl Carmel, who launched the mutiny, has been arrested.

After all, the new legion was built by the king alone, so the mutiny would not be so easy to succeed. At the beginning, their idea was to poison the legion commander Harris first, and then the commander of the three armies, Carmel, would take the opportunity to seize power.

But the plan went wrong, Harris was not poisoned to death, and the chaos in the army quickly subsided because of Mikkel's dispatch.

The most terrible thing is that Yusef, the commander of the cavalry division, the eldest son of Earl Carmel, was not coerced by his father to join the rebellion.

This also led to the fact that only a very small number of the original army participated in the mutiny, and it was impossible to shake the new army as a whole.

Therefore, this rebellion, which was originally of a gambling nature, failed without accident...

In the interrogation room, Yousef questioned Earl Carmel: "Father, why did you launch a rebellion?!"

Seeing his eldest son being interrogated in front of him, Earl Carmel's eyes flashed with sorrow, and he sighed: "Since the king wants to beat the nobleman to death with a stick, of course we must resist!"

Yousef was full of disbelief: "Because of this? Although the life of nobles is indeed not as comfortable as before after the promulgation of the new law, the king has fully protected our interests!"

Although the new law abolished many privileges of the nobles, the only ones who were really affected were the empty nobles with no titles.

For them, the nobles who already owned cavaliers, the impact on their interests was actually not that great, so he really couldn't understand why his father would launch a rebellion?

"Full protection of our interests?"

Earl Carmel sneered twice, and his emotions suddenly became agitated: "Are you kidding, first defeat the lord with the army, and then cut off the branches of the aristocratic class!

Do you think everyone is an idiot? I can't see that the king is weakening the power of the nobles bit by bit. He is protecting our interests now, but what about in the future? ! "

Although the nobles are arrogant, it is undeniable that they still possess knowledge. There may be fools, but there are definitely not a few shrewd ones.

Based on Simon's actions, it is easy to infer his intentions.

The lord who held the armed forces has been defeated, and the vassals of the noble class have also been dispersed. Who knows whether the king will do anything to them next.

If you don't fight back vigorously while you still have the strength, don't you want to watch helplessly as the king pushes them to a dead end step by step?

Listening to his father's rant, Yousef fell silent. He is not stupid, he just didn't think about it seriously before.

Ask yourself, if one day in the future, the king really wants to abolish the aristocracy completely, can he still remain as loyal as he is now?

Ripples appeared in the space, and Simon, who had been in the space interlayer for a long time, finally appeared at this moment.

Yousef was startled, and quickly got up to salute: "Your Majesty!"

Simon looked at him with complicated emotions, and said lightly: "It's good that you proved your loyalty!"

Yousef remained expressionless, and replied in a deep voice, "This is what a courtier should do!"

Simon was silent for a moment, looked at Earl Carmel sitting in the interrogation chair, and asked, "How do you think I should deal with the rebels?"

Yousef's heart sank, and he didn't dare to look his father in the eyes: "Of course they are all hanged!"

Hearing his son's words, Earl Carmel on the interrogation chair was not only not angry, but showed a relieved expression.

Betting on multiple sides has always been the key to maintaining the inheritance of the family. Even if one side fails, it is not too bad to keep the other side.

This time, Simon was silent for a long time, and said: "Put Earl Carmel and his accomplices to permanent imprisonment for the crime of rebellion, that's it!"

As a king, he must not chill the hearts of his subjects. No matter how angry he is, he still has to worry about Yousef's feelings. After all, he has proved his loyalty.

When Yousef heard this, joy suddenly appeared on his face: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

On the other side, Earl Carmel, who had never spoken, showed bitterness at this moment. Well, he was betrayed by the king again.

Now, the son is completely tied to the king's battlefield, and there is no possibility of getting out!

 …

Harris sat on the bed decadently, and Simon knocked on the door and walked in: "I'm sorry about Xiludi!"

Harris didn't look at him directly, but gritted his teeth and said, "Simon, I want to avenge her!"

Simon was silent for a moment, and replied: "Yes, but we need to collect evidence first!"

Harris yelled: "You and I know who did it!"

Simon was silent again, and said slowly: "The current Silvermoon Kingdom is not the former Silvermoon Kingdom. It must follow the procedures of the new law. If you want to convict someone, you must have evidence!"

If it was the former Silver Moon Kingdom, UU Reading www. uukanshu.com He, the king, will kill whoever he wants.

But the New Year's bell has already sounded, and now the Silver Moon Kingdom is implementing a new law, even if he is the king, he can't ignore the law and kill people at will!

Harris looked at Simon, gritted his teeth in hatred: "You set the rules!"

Simon replied without showing any weakness: "It is precisely because the rules are set by me that I cannot violate them!"

In the past, the rules of the Silver Moon Kingdom were based on the spirit of chivalry, supplemented by kingdom laws to manage the country. Frankly speaking, if it could be implemented, it would be a good system.

But the most terrible thing about this kind of system is that the makers and executors of the rules can violate the rules unscrupulously without punishment.

Over time, the original rules rotted and gradually evolved into a set of unspoken rules of the jungle.

It is because the original rules cannot be enforced that he makes new rules, and once he, the rule maker, ignores the rules, then this new set of rules will immediately become bullshit!

The new law died before it was rolled out. Except for the superficial set, the previous unspoken rules are still used. This is what the conservative forces of the nobles really want to see!

Harris glared into Simon's eyes, and Simon looked at him without giving in. At this moment, they were no longer friends, but monarchs and ministers!

Time passed by every minute and every second...

Harris suddenly sneered, he stood up and pointed to Simon's nose: "Okay, okay, since you want to follow the rules, then we will follow the rules!"

After a pause, his expression suddenly became ferocious, and he said, "But in the future, if I catch you perverting the law for personal gain, I will retaliate!"

Simon fell into silence again, and replied with a sullen face: "I never bend the law for personal gain!"
