Chapter 718

Chapter 718
several days ago.

The northwest of the empire, the city of war.

This is the headquarters of the Imperial Rebel Army. Coverdale used to contend with the Imperial Chamber here. At that time, he had the illusion that he was about to overthrow the three powers of the empire and trample the rotten three powers under his feet.

But today.

Coverdale, the leader of the rebel army, has been somewhat difficult to continue.

The reason for this is of course that the empire lowered its noble head, not only admitting its mistakes to the common people, promulgating various policies to benefit the people, even the heads of the three powers also took the blame and resigned.

This series of means down.

It directly shakes the rebel army's morale, because many civilians rebel because they are dissatisfied with the alliance of the three powers with the enemy, their inaction, their disregard for the life and death of civilians, and the extremely harsh taxation for the war.

But the empire has admitted its mistakes, and promised not to hold the rebels accountable, while exempting the whole country from taxes for one and a half years, and giving basic living allowances to citizens in need.

under these circumstances.

May I ask why they still want to join some rebel army?

In the final analysis, isn’t joining the rebel army just to protest the empire, let the three powers of the empire know their mistakes, and at the same time let themselves have a good meal. Now that the goal has been achieved, what’s the point of continuing to rebel.

So when Veigar retreated from the eastern part of the empire.

While the long-planned empire introduced the policy of cholera, the rebel army's morale was in turmoil, and at the same time, it took advantage of the disarray of the rebel army's morale, and used troops transferred from the east to beat the rebel army by surprise.

This big defeat made the rebel army worse.

Overnight, the mighty rebel army fell from the altar.

Although they still occupy the northwest of the empire, which is dominated by the city of war, and have a lot of resources given by the western Gundy city-state and the Freedom Alliance, the empire's million-strong army is already approaching the city.

Now all the officers and soldiers hope that he can surrender to the empire and officially disband the rebel army, because the soldiers are tired of the war, and there have been more and more deserters recently, and they cannot stop the fleeing in groups.

"My lord, please sign the surrender document!"

"We can't win the Empire."

"Yes, the empire also promised us that it would pardon our crimes."

"..."

One person at a time, the generals pressed on Coverdale step by step.

Coverdale stared at his bloodshot eyes and said: "The empire will pardon you and even give you better treatment, but it didn't say to pardon me! Besides, do you really think the empire will keep its word?"

"The people of the country are watching, the empire will not deceive us."

"Didn't you keep saying that you would sacrifice your life for the common people?"

"Now that the empire has compromised, please sacrifice your life for us!"

"..."

Like a beast that chooses to devour people, the hideous faces oppressed Coverdale out of breath.

Such a scene is happening every day, and everyone is forcing Coverdale to surrender to the Empire.

But only Coverdale knows that this is just an expedient measure of the empire, and even the resignation of the heads of the three powers is just to appease the common people. They may not have given up their power, but retreated behind the scenes.

Once this rebel army falls.

Coverdale can fully imagine that the coveted and vengeful empire will inevitably settle accounts with the surrendered civilians, and it will be too late to regret it. He doesn't understand why these people would believe a hypocrite's words.

True, he did not cherish his own life.

On this road, Coverdale never thought that he could die well.

But for the lives of soldiers and civilians, he understands that he must never surrender to the empire, this is the responsibility of the leader.

As long as he can last one more day, soldiers who have surrendered or are about to surrender will be treated preferentially by the empire for one day.Even if these soldiers and officers will blame him for not surrendering, one day they will understand his good intentions, even if by that time he has died without a place to bury him.

"Something has to be done."

Coverdale is not willing to fall here.

He still has a huge northwest, and the city of war has not yet fallen. The resources given by the western countries are still enough for them to fight several wars, but can his mob really beat the imperial army?

This time the commander of the Imperial Army is none other than someone else.

It was the famous Foster Nolan.

Although Coverdale has always regarded Veigar as an idol, he hopes to win the war by imitating Veigar.

But he knew that with his own ability, it might be very difficult to defeat Foster... No, it's not difficult, but there is no hope of defeating Foster at all.Because in the retreat battle, Foster almost guessed all his retreat routes, causing him to lose nearly 20 troops one after another before returning to the city of war.

Qian donkeys are poor.

These four words are his real situation now.

He was pushed to the edge of the cliff, and he was probably less than two months away from falling.

"Who...is there someone to save me?"

These words couldn't help appearing in Coverdale's heart.

In the face of desperation, expecting someone to save you is a self-denying and extremely conceited thing, but when these words emerge in your heart, a figure emerges - Vega Saint Laurent.

"Ask for help, you must ask for help."

Coverdale's eyes showed firmness.

If there is anyone in this world who can reverse the current desperate situation, Coverdale believes that Vega is the only one.

The Nuolan Empire is his enemy, and it is also the enemy of the Jialan Empire. The enemy's enemy is an ally. As long as he asks Vega for help, Vega has a great chance to help him.

Because the Jialan Empire needs time to develop.

The longer the rebel army led by him exists, the more beneficial it will be to the Jialan Empire. It is impossible for Vega not to help him.

After figuring this out, Coverdale did not hesitate to send an envoy to the Jialan Empire for help.

"I'm sorry, please allow me to refuse this matter."

Faced with the uninvited guest, the rebel envoy, Veigar did not hesitate to say words of rejection.

As far as the current situation is concerned, although Vega really wants to join the rebel army and use the rebel army to contain the empire's footsteps like the western countries, but he also understands that the current situation of the Jialan Empire is helpless.

Because the Jialan Empire does not have the capital to go on an expedition.

The empire has 45 surrendered troops, 50 domestic main forces, and nearly 45 defenders and new troops. It is very difficult to maintain such a large number of troops, let alone carry out post-war reconstruction work.

The Jialan Empire really does not have the capital to fight this aid war.

With the resources that the rebel army obtained from the West, self-sufficiency is not a problem, and it is also impossible to provide war materials for his army, which will only accelerate the demise of the rebel army.

So Vega refused without hesitation.

It's not that he can't be saved, but that he can't help.
