Chapter 3: Eugent Hesitant

Zeren: "Confidence... I don't know how to say it... But don't you have brothers and sisters? You have to wait until I wake up... However, looking at the more than 200 of you and the shabby state of the entire underground safe room, Sennagu was really beaten to a dead end by that Youlizi.

Naseli: "Please don't say that to him. If it weren't for Deputy Minister Sanya, we wouldn't be alive today. Besides, except for Dad, he is the only one who treats us better... What's more, Mom only has us two daughters, no other brothers or sisters from the same mother."

Listening to what his sister Naseli said, Zelen understood that their father probably regarded the twin sisters as a burden and let Sennagu throw them to him. But there is also a possibility, that is, they should be trained as monitors, specifically responsible for keeping an eye on themselves.

After all, in the Krurod Empire where polygamy is legal, children who do not take their father's surname are basically born to concubines. Even when the policy of the Pao Republic came into effect, the status of these children born to concubines was completely inferior to that of the descendants of the main wife.

Zeren himself didn't know how to comment on this. The Krurod Empire legally recognizes Polygamy has a history of nearly a thousand years, and the unequal status of the main wife and the concubines that was born on this basis is always difficult to avoid.

If he really wants to trace it back, Zelun probably has to greet his royal ancestors one by one.

However, compared to this, Zelun is looking at the lever rifle in his hand, and he really misses it.

When he was still the grandson of the emperor, he followed his father and brothers to the shooting range to shoot guns, and the lever rifle was the most impressive. Because after loading the bullet, firing a shot, then pressing the trigger guard and retracting it to load the next bullet is Quite a classic.

Especially the rifle in front of him, although it is a traditional model that only allows five rounds of magazine loading, its simple operation and exposed hammer rotary firing system are very helpful for the shooter to observe whether it is in the ready state, and its convenient production and maintenance make such firearms not disappear from the history of the Krurod Empire even after using caseless bullets.

Moreover, what makes Zelen not know how to comment is that perhaps it is the current shortage of resources, the folding four-sided spike under the gun body reminds him every moment that the prosperous Krurod Empire in the past is no longer there.

Normally Said that the rifle should have a detachable bayonet. At the same time, this also told him that what was left of the past empire was only devastation, corpses everywhere, and the ruined and in name only usurper - the Republic of Pao.

But...

Swish!

Listening to the mechanical sound of his trigger guard being pressed down, Zelen couldn't help but feel happy. After all, he is a man, and he likes guns, cars, and balls. Moreover, guns are ranked first, and they are what he and many male citizens of the Krurod Empire like very much.

Zelen: "Can you two shoot?"

Natalie, Nathali: "Yes."

Zelen: "Very good. But I still want to ask, are you going to follow me like this? Marry me together in the future?"

Natalie: "I can."

Nathali: "I do."

Zelen: "Even if I want to rebuild the Krurod Empire instead of the Republic of Pao? ”

Natalie: “First of all, I don’t really understand the difference between the two countries. I always feel that both countries seem to have men as officials, and I don’t really understand the laws…”

Natalie: “Anyway, the most I know is that the current country is gone, and we don’t know how to survive. And my father said that we may have to seek refuge with the shaman, and the days ahead will be even more difficult. "

Obviously, the twin sisters probably didn't receive a good education, and they didn't have a deep understanding of the country. At the same time, Zelen looked at them himself. The reason why they were like this was probably the war, especially the pig-headed man named Yuriko who was not afraid of gunfire and rain of bullets, and could tear apart the troops in front of him without blinking, destroying one building or vehicle after another.

In short, Zelen lowered his head. He sincerely hoped that he could rebuild the prosperous Krurod Empire and not let the people of the empire drift with the wind like rootless duckweed. So in order to better think about future plans, Zelen didn't let the twin sisters sleep in the same bed with him.

After all, the origins of the sisters were not detailed enough, and it was possible that they were not telling the truth.

So he let the sisters sleep first, and then came out of the room and talked to one of his guards, the other middle-aged soldier from the research institute who was rescued by him before.

Eugent: "My name is Setlik Eugent, and I used to be the battalion commander of the guards guarding the palace. "

Zelen: "So you also participated in the purge of the royal family? ”

Eugent: “Yes. The royal family... I am actually a descendant of the royal family, but the royal family does not recognize my father's illegitimate status. Therefore, after he died of depression at an early age, I finally became a palace guard. But your grandfather knew that my father was his younger brother, but never mentioned him. So, I joined the plan of Deputy Minister Sanya and others. ”

Zeren: “To you, the royal family is a group of unforgivable criminals who must all be killed?”

Eugent: "For me, yes. As far as your royal family once believed, it is natural for women to obey men. If necessary, you can make up excuses to secretly kidnap female people outside, select suitable human experiment subjects or do other things. My grandmother was one of the objects that your great-grandfather had his eyes on, and my father was born for this reason."

Zeren: "This is one of the reasons why my father and others wanted to assassinate my grandfather."

Eugent: "So I agreed to bring you back from the snowy mountains of Mount Jaya."

Zeren: "If I want to rebuild the empire, will you agree?"

Eugent: "Now... I don't support it, I don't oppose it. I just hope that I won't continue to live the life I am living now."

Zeren: "Understand."

Eugent: "Let me tell you in advance that not everyone in the Rimai people is as easy to talk to as me, but they also have a certain interest in the empire you want to build. After all, the royal family did a lot of bad things in the past."

Zeren: "Yes."

Thinking back on the history of his family, Zelen was indescribably embarrassed. In his great-grandfather's time, his great-grandfather and grandfather, in order to curry favor with the military, came up with the terrible idea of ​​secretly kidnapping female citizens to do various jobs, which led to domestic unrest.

So, just as Eugent said, he was obviously a descendant of the royal family, but in the end he also fought to destroy the old empire and establish the Pao Republic.

Eugent: "But you can bear it, why don't you sleep with them?"

Zeren: "If I were the emperor, would I still worry about this? However, along the way, the tragic scene of broken walls and piles of bones reminded me. Compared with simply avenging the royal family and killing you traitors, I hope to use my own power to make you listen to me and rebuild the Krurod Empire."

Eugent: "Why? And do you think we will obey your orders 100%?"

Zeren: "Is it impossible? After all, I am the grandson of the empire. I have the obligation to climb out of the trenches for every citizen of the empire and be the first to lead the charge against the enemy."

Eugent: "Aren't you afraid of dying as soon as you get out of the trenches one day?"

Zeren: "It's not like there are no members of our royal family who died in the trenches."

As Zelen said, male members of the Krurod Empire's royal family must begin military training at the age of 12, and start serving in the regular army at the age of 15, serving under an alias for at least five years.

Therefore, from the founding of the Krurod Empire to the time when Zelen was born, at least more than 30 members of the royal family died in battle.

Although the proportion is not high, death is death.

Eugent: "So when I saw you chop off the pig's head with a knife, I couldn't help but wonder, should I call my daughter over?"

Zelen: "Stop! I haven't touched their sisters, and when will I visit the shaman and the Green Snake Party behind them? You let me live instead of shooting me. I guess you made some deal with them, so you had to agree, right?"

Eugent: "I guess so. Anyway, tomorrow. We will take a car to leave Sugui City and go to the west to meet them. After all, Minister Tang Gelu has been working hard. Especially when we add up to less than 400 people, their Green Snake Party has more than 70,000 people... It's impossible not to surrender."
