Chapter 697

Imperial capital.

The Immortal City is bustling and bustling. Before the rise of Vega, it was regarded as the safest place in the world. The Three Powers once proudly declared to the world that no one could break into their capital and force them to open the Colossus of War.

The subjects of the Immortal City also used to be proud of this sentence.

But today is different.

When the kingdom ravaged the north, Veigar rose strongly, the Sacred Dragon Kingdom was fierce, and the rebels took advantage of the situation, no one dared to mention this sentence again, because everyone knew that the empire was no longer what it used to be. .

Recently.

The summit of the three powers has been held again and again, the guard army of the imperial capital has doubled, and the long-lost war statue has been re-examined, and the place has officially entered a state of combat readiness.

Imperial Chamber.

The Three Powers Summit was held again, the eighth meeting this month.

This meeting was initiated by the Imperial Military Department, mainly to report the latest battle situation to the three parties, and it needs the final decision of the other two decision makers, because at this point, the Empire really can't afford it.

"Please allow me to report to you all."

The head of state stood up and said loudly: "Now the western countries are supporting the rebel army, so that the rebel army's power will continue to grow, and it has occupied the entire northwest of the city of war. Secretly reached an agreement, and began to advance to the middle, the goal is undoubtedly the Immortal City."

"in addition."

The head of the empire took the document and continued to read: "The 50 imperial army commanded by Hausman in the eastern part of the empire was defeated, and the city of Elchea fell. There is no time for rescue, and the military has already made a countermeasure to abandon Xielantu City to delay time, and at the same time build a defense line on the periphery of the central part."

"Now."

The head of the empire looked at everyone and said: "There is an opinion that needs to be agreed by you, the speaker, and the chief judge. Since this opinion is not only related to military power, but also related to other aspects, it must be explained to you."

The head of state looked around.

He paused for a long time before saying this well-thought-out countermeasure: "The empire has become a mess. If this continues, what awaits us is the demise of the holy dynasty and kingdom. Get rid of the rebels. If this thorn in the side is not removed for a day, we will not have a stable development environment."

"May I ask if your lord the head of state has any countermeasures?"

The speaker looked at the head of state and asked aloud.

The head of state nodded and said: "I do have some plans for how to get rid of the rebels, but these plans require the cooperation of everyone in the regime. Next, please publicly apologize to the subjects, and while reducing the tax burden, you will be exempt from tax for two years." As a compensation."

"Although this matter is difficult, I can promise."

"second."

The head of state continued: "The three of us must take the blame and resign to appease the anger of the civilians. At the same time, we must issue an announcement to the soldiers of the rebel army. As long as they are willing to withdraw from the rebel army, the judicial system can cancel their guilt."

The speaker and the presiding judge looked at each other and nodded.

Of course they knew how to use this trick to get rid of the golden cicada's shell, so the chief judge nodded and said, "I know what to do."

As long as the first step and the second step are combined with each other.

Then the rebel army will not even try to expand its power, or even lose a large number of troops.

Because the rebel army was only pushed up because the empire did not care about the lives of civilians, the three powers did nothing, increased taxes and oppressed the bottom. Now the empire has taken the initiative to apologize and compensated with taxes and the resignation of the three powers. I believe it will soon Can appease public anger.

"at last."

The head of state put forward the last request: "Our military department intends to negotiate peace with the Jialan Empire, and use Foster's withdrawal to exchange for the entire eastern part of the empire dominated by the city of Elchia. Next, please speak freely."

"This matter must not be promised!"

An official said angrily: "I don't think we have reached that point of desperation. The city of Xielantu has not yet fallen. The 20 defenders of Major General Voscolo Darney can still support it for a while. As long as the three powers By bowing our heads and admitting our mistakes to the people, it is entirely possible for us to suppress the rebel army before the fall of Xielantu City."

"What if we can't wait until then?"

A general snorted: "The main force in the east is lost. How long can 20 old, weak, sick and disabled be able to hold back? What's more, the attacker is still Vega Saint Laurent, and his speed will definitely be even higher. If we leave the central part, who will guarantee the safety of the capital.”

"This is a matter for your military."

The officials did not hesitate at all: "What's more, the millions of troops in the central region can't stop the 30 people?"

"You probably forgot the battle of the coalition forces of various countries against the Jialan Empire more than a month ago?"

"That's just..."

"Just what? The arms of the Allied Forces are not comparable to the Empire."

The general hit the nail on the head: "In a real battle, the entire army of the empire may not necessarily be the opponent of the coalition forces of various countries, but it is the sum of the entire force of the West. The empire is not arrogant enough to dare to fight against the coalition forces of more than [-] countries point."

"That's what I said, but ah..."

A judge smoothed things over: "I think this matter can be put aside for a while. It will not be too late to talk to Vega Saint Laurent after the city of Xilantu really falls. Maybe it will really be destroyed during this period. What about the rebels?"

"Second." "Second." "Second." "

Everyone agrees with this point of view: "I also think that there is no need to rush this matter, and it can be done by ear."

However, as soon as this opinion was reached, a soldier broke in and brought the latest battle report that made everyone unresponsive for a long time——

Major General Voscoro Darnay, who had placed high hopes on them and planned to hold Vega back, not only surrendered the Garan Army, but also instigated the entire army of 20 soldiers and officers, and turned around to serve as a vanguard for the Garan Empire The army even used their own identities to easily defraud a secondary strategic point on the outskirts of the central region - the Red Leaf Fortress.

The Red Leaf Fortress is the first line of defense against the Jialan Army in the central part.

Although this line of defense is irrelevant and only serves as an early warning, it also means that the gate of the central part of the empire has been broken, and the Jialan Army can push the front line from the east to the core area of ​​the central part.

The rabbit is anxious and biting.

When Voscolo Darne learned that he was given up by the empire as a pawn to delay Vega, how could he not be angry, and with the lessons learned from Hausmann, he made the decision to surrender without hesitation. The most daring idea in my life - to turn against each other.
