Chapter 597 Give birth on knees!
To die standing and with dignity.

Or throw away your self-esteem and kneel on the ground to survive.

The old general of the military has torn the fig leaf from everyone present, trampled the so-called arrogance, dignity, and glory of the empire on the ground, and at the same time laid out these two choices nakedly in front of everyone.

For soldiers, honor is above all else.

Several military generals snorted at the old general, cursed a few cowards inwardly, stood up and said loudly: "For soldiers, losing their dignity and honor is more terrible than dying immediately. This lord can bet everything and fight to the death against the Holy Dragon Kingdom!"

Hearing what the military general said, the politicians who scolded the most fiercely just now, stood on the moral high ground, and unscrupulously condemned the old general for having no dignity at all were finally scared.

They were afraid that the controllers of the three powers would listen to the words of those barbarians and really fight the Holy Dragon Kingdom with their backs.

For politicians, as long as they can keep the empire, dignity and glory must stand aside. The reason why they condemned others at the beginning was just wanting to be a whore and erecting a memorial archway. When the critical moment came, of course they immediately changed their words.

A senior official stood up and said: "My lords, now our army has suffered a complete defeat. Although it seems that there are many soldiers and generals, but in this case, once the war breaks out, there will inevitably be a large-scale rout. It's really over."

As senior officials say.

The reason why the army and society have not completely collapsed is that the empire has not bet all its chips to fight the Holy Dragon Kingdom to the death.Once the empire puts everything on the line for a decisive battle, just one defeat...even a small-scale defeat with less than [-] soldiers lost may destroy the last ounce of confidence in the entire army and the whole country.

For a country that has lost its faith, the end is already evident.

So the politicians are afraid. They would rather choose to retain their strength and let the people and the army believe that they still have room to fight back. They definitely don't want to launch a final decisive battle at this time, but the enemy has already hit the central region. Apart from conducting a decisive battle The only option is to outsource this war directly to the Holy Dynasty.

Yes, indeed the word 'outsourcing'.

The old general's suggestion pointed out the way forward for them. In fact, these politicians very much hope that by paying some price, the Holy Dynasty will take over the war. Compared with destroying the country, they can accept any price.

"In summary."

The senior official said in a sad tone: "For the sake of the people and the empire, I hope that the three adults can temporarily put aside their glory and dignity, pay some price to ask for assistance from the Holy Dynasty, and wait until the army of the Holy Dragon Kingdom is pacified, and then we will regain the lost land." It is not too late for the dignity of the people, and history is always written by the ultimate victor."

"Hmph, a group of people who are greedy for life and afraid of death."

The military staff and politicians fought, and the judges of the trial system were not to be outdone, and joined the battle to denounce the politicians. After all, the Judgment Legion controls the law and justice, and is naturally disgusted with the words of politicians.

In the middle of the quarrel, finally entered the stage of voting.

First of all, the Great Speaker directly voted for the option of seeking help from the Holy Dynasty. Although he once believed that it was an extremely shameful act to betray his dignity and glory, this time it was different. Their enemy, the sub-dragon species.

Those sub-dragon species seem to hate humans extremely.

They did all kinds of evil in the cities they occupied and regarded human beings as pigs. Therefore, the Great Speaker thought that it was not the time to be a hero. He could die for the dignity and glory of the country, but he could not become the sinner of human beings through the ages.

So he voted yes without hesitation.

Contrary to him is the chief judge, who said the first sentence since the beginning of the meeting: "I just want to ask the speaker and the head of state to remember what we said before - the empire does not know what a compromise is!"

Pros and cons.

The final decision rests in the hands of the Führer.

Seeing this, the officers and people in the judicial system naturally smiled triumphantly.

Those politicians have also given up any hope for the results of the vote, because the military regards glory and dignity as their lives. As their highest officials, is it not for their own people, but for them?
Just when everyone thought that the overall situation was settled, the vote of the head of state was beyond everyone's expectations——

Agree!

As the controller of military power, the head of state actually agreed to seek help from the Holy Dynasty?
What is the difference between this kind of behavior and denying the strength of one's subordinates and betraying dignity and glory?
As a role model for soldiers, it is a bit too much.

The presiding judge showed dissatisfaction for the first time: "Your Excellency, please give me a reason."

"The empire can die standing, but not for the empire this time."

The head of state's reply was affirmed by the great speaker, who highly appreciated the head of state.

On the contrary, the presiding judge fell into a long silence.

A few minutes later, he looked up at the two of them and said, "Is it worth rising to such a height for a Holy Dragon Kingdom?"

"The tens of thousands of corpses in the city of Bauhinia are a lesson from the past."

"Sorry, I was short-sighted."

The chief judge let out a sigh of relief, obviously agreeing with the choices given by the head of state and the speaker.

He already understood that, as the most powerful country on the mainland, he should make some sacrifices for the sake of human beings. If this continues, when the morale of the Holy Dragon Kingdom is high, no one in this continent will be able to stop them.

How terrifying is the combat power buff brought about by a streak of victories? This was well understood by the empire that stretched across all directions.

So on the second day, the empire sent envoys to the city of ice and fire in the dynasty.

It is indeed the City of Ice and Fire, not the City of Saint Laurent.

Because Veigar and Okasos have been paying attention to the war situation on the empire's side, especially Vega needs to decide which countermeasures to take based on the next battle situation, so they didn't return to Saint Laurent at all.

The purpose of the messenger is obvious, that is to find Veigar and Okasos.

Originally, this was not in line with etiquette, because according to etiquette, such a military matter should be discussed with the queen of the dynasty, instead of going directly to the city of ice and fire to find two courtiers without even arriving at Saint Laurent, the capital of the dynasty.

But urgent matters.

Since the army of the Holy Dragon Kingdom likes fast attacks very much, they are advancing the front line almost every day, so there is not much time left for the empire, so the empire has no choice but to go directly past the queen and find Vega and Okasos.

"Please help our country repel the Holy Dragon Kingdom based on your status as human beings."

The envoy saluted Vega and Okasos very respectfully, without the arrogance that he should have had before.

It's okay for Veigar to see this, but Ocasos seems to have discovered a new continent, his eyes are full of inconceivability, and now he even wants to ask, is this still the proud empire back then?
