Chapter 1299

The capital of the Principality of rumbel is expanded from a village located at the foot of the historic rumbel castle.

After hundreds of years of continuous operation, this small village has gradually become particularly prosperous in the restoration and expansion again and again. In this expansion, the mountain road leading to rumbel castle has changed from a road originally located in the suburbs to a road that can only go up the mountain from rumbel city.

Over the years, the city of rumbel has become a symbol of honor for the whole principality of rumbel.

There are no beggars or poor people here. Basically, people who are willing to work can get enough food and clothing. Of course, the living standard and cost of this city are not low, and it can even be said that it is more expensive than ordinary cities.

But today, the whole city seems very quiet.

Except for some patrol soldiers wearing heavy armor, there were no residents and tourists walking in the streets in the whole Wangdu. Almost all of them hid in their hotels and homes. Only when those windows happened to face a residential house with a significantly more guarded street, someone quietly opened a gap behind the window and secretly observed the outside scenery.

Not long after, when the sun gradually rose to noon, the newly-built transporters in Wangdu finally emitted a bright light.

A young woman in a velvet fur robe is walking out of the transmission array.

At this time, several guards who had been waiting for a long time immediately greeted him, knelt respectfully on one knee and saluted him: "welcome Miss Cecilia."

These guards are the soldiers of Cecilia's guards.

The earliest soldiers of Cecilia's guards were basically renbel people. They were the people who left the Principality of renbel with Clov and then went to the trade capital to collect Cecilia's information. However, after taking refuge in Cecilia with a series of changes, these people gradually became an extremely terrible elite division, but the price was that the soldiers originally born in the Principality of rumbel were decreasing.

Until today.

Although the full size of Cecilia's guards can reach 50000, they are actually rumbelle people, but there are only about 100 people left.

At the moment, it was these rumbelles who came to meet Cecilia - even if they were middle and high-level leaders in Cecilia's guards, they still cried with joy when they were able to return to their hometown.

Therefore, they are welcoming the real and only Archduke of the Principality of rumbel, which is also the most glorious place in their hearts.

"Where are the people?" Cecilia asked, in a very soft voice, but very gentle.

"Waiting for you at rumbel castle." A guard answered.

"Rumbel... Ancient castle..." Cecilia murmured, and her eyes couldn't help looking at the castle that could vaguely see the outline even standing near the transmission array in the city center, "it's been... Seventeen years."

This ancient castle carries Cecilia's whole childhood memories.

From the time she could remember when she was three years old, until she was sent to the Magic School of Maggie Empire at the age of eight, she lived in the castle. She was familiar with everything in the castle: brick by brick, flower by grass, the layout of each house and the plants planted in the courtyard. Even if she had never come back here since she was 12, all the memories buried in her mind emerged when she just saw the castle on the top of the mountain hundreds of meters above sea level.

Seventeen years.

After hearing the news of her parents' death at the age of 12 and being forced to abscond, Cecilia had not set foot in her hometown for 17 years.

Until today.

Tears rolled out of Cecilia's eyes.

"Miss Cecilia, please get in the car." A guard, very clever, took out the carriage already waiting to stand by, and then invited Cecilia to get on the bus.

Cecilia nodded slightly, got on the carriage, and then, escorted by a whole team of more than 50 Cecilia Guard officers, began to drive towards rumbel castle. Until the carriage gradually disappeared at the end of the street, those hiding in folk houses and hotels finally opened the door and came out, and their eyes also looked at the end of the street.

The look of many people is very complicated.

From the moment the city of rumbel opened its door and surrendered, the residents knew that their principality of rumbel had been defeated again.

The last time they were defeated was hundreds of years ago, when they became vassals of the Maggie empire. From then on, they always looked inferior in front of the people of the Maggie empire. This time, although the reason for the war was the war of revenge, and the former Duke and daughter of rumbel who had been persecuted in the past came back for revenge, she brought strength that did not belong to the Principality of rumbel - in the eyes of rumbel people, the void empire was a group of invaders.

Who will have a good face for the invaders?

Countless people are beginning to worry about their future destiny.

……

Cecilia is a magician, so she is more sensitive to emotions than anyone else.

As early as when she arrived here, she had felt the strange atmosphere of the whole city.

But she didn't say anything, and in fact, she didn't know what she should say. But Cecilia, there was no change in her heart. She still decided to implement the goal she had thought out at the beginning: all rumbel people who were willing to leave with her could get a piece of permanent land in rumbel provinces and cities that have been divided in the void empire. Even in the next few years, they will have certain concessions in any business.

The carriage soon came to rumbel castle.

Cecilia was greeted by Hera, Alfred, clough and Diana.

Instead of exchanging greetings and chatting, after a few simple questions, Cecilia and Haila went to the large reception room in the ancient castle.

Any castle will have a large banquet hall and a general meeting room. Similarly, naturally, there are small side rooms more suitable for chatting in the banquet hall, as well as small meeting rooms and private meeting rooms of a more private nature.

Diana's choice to meet the peace negotiators of the Principality of rumbel in the living room of the general assembly is obviously quite meaningful.

Pushing open the door of the reception room, Cecilia saw Apollo sitting on a chair in the reception room.

The old man over half a hundred years old did not appear depressed because of the war. On the contrary, his energy and spirit seemed very vigorous. It was obvious that he didn't look like an old man waiting for death. When Apollo beta saw Cecilia entering the reception room, he even got up to meet her, and said a few words of compliment.

Although the two sides have known each other for a long time - after all, Cecilia has lived in rumbel castle for so long, Cecilia is naturally impressed by this man who was only in her thirties 16 years ago and was at the peak of middle-aged charm. Similarly, the other party obviously knows enough about Cecilia's death, but the two sides still officially began to cut into the subject under Diana's introduction.

"I don't know why your excellency Apollo came to me for peace talks?" Cecilia said calmly, "even if you open the gate and let us into the city, we can only thank you a little at most. But if you want to use it as a threat, you should know what will happen. "

"I'm not here to fight at all." Apollo chuckled. "I'm here to make a proposal."

"If you want to repair our relationship, I suggest you avoid talking." Cecilia looked at Apollo and said, "those people on my list must die. It's no use asking for mercy."

"I'm not here to plead." Apollo shook his head. "I have come to petition for all the people of the Principality of rumbel. I hope there will be no more war between us Because this behavior has led to the breakdown of countless families, who have lost their sons, husbands and parents, I hope this behavior can be stopped. "

"I don't want to do any harm to the civilians of rumbel, otherwise I wouldn't have handled it so gently." Cecilia took a serious look at Apollo beta, "I know what you mean, general Apollo, but I also have my duty to do I can't refuse to avenge my parents. And those nobles who participated in the rebellion in those years are also irredeemable. "

"I know." Apollo nodded, "so I brought a gift, hoping to prove my sincerity As long as you believe me, Miss Cecilia, I promise I can send all the people on your list to you? "

"Oh?" Cecilia raised her eyebrows. "I'm curious about what kind of gift can show your sincerity."

Apollo did not speak, but got up, picked up a gift box at his feet, put it in front of Cecilia, and motioned Cecilia to open it by herself.

Cecilia glanced at Apollo and gently opened the gift box.

Cecilia's pupils shrank when she saw what was in the gift box.

Even Cecilia, including Alfred, Hera, Diana and clough, all looked surprised.

Because the so-called sincerity in this gift box is not something else, but the head of Magellan rumbel whose face is still stunned.

"Archduke Magellan knows that he is sinful, so he is willing to exchange his head for an opportunity to calm your towering flame, so as to pray you not to anger the people of the Principality of rumbel." Seeing Cecilia's look, Apollo, sitting on one side, finally spoke again, "he said it was his own fault. I hope you can forgive his children for the sake of your kindred."

"Men below the wheel." Cecilia stared at the head. She thought she would feel very happy and excited after killing Magellan rumbel, but she didn't find that all the feelings she thought were dear until she saw the head put in front of her.

Apollo knew what Cecilia meant by this sentence.

Men below the wheel refer to the descendants of Magellan rumbel. All men can live only below the wheel, and those above the wheel must be executed. This is a very normal way to deal with blood feuds, because the men under the wheel can't remember much at the moment, so they don't know what will happen to their family, of course, if no one wants them to mention it.

After all, endless fighting with blood feud children is definitely not an interesting thing.

After a little hesitation, Apollo nodded, "I see The female family members... "

"As long as you promise not to be hostile to me, I won't pay attention." Cecilia gently covered the gift box again, and then said in a tired voice, "I believe you can do this, general Apollo, right I don't need to do it myself. "

"Not at all." Apollo beta nodded and then saluted Cecilia, "thank you for your kindness, Queen Phoenix. I promise that everyone on the list will appear in front of you in ten days at the latest. "
