Chapter 251 The Beginning of the Civil War

Neither Locks nor Diocletian expected that Xavius ​​would flip the table so quickly and dare to take the lead in starting a civil war in the empire.

In the face of the five-year meeting, there were still a group of nobles and lords who did not go to the imperial capital. Among them were the four despots. They and their vassals rejected the edict issued by the imperial capital; for this result, Savin Si didn't show the slightest surprise, as if everything was within his expectations.

Instead, Lockes and Diocletian arrived beyond his expectations.

He thought that these two people would definitely not come to the imperial capital to participate in this meeting, but he did not expect that these two people would come; in this case, he had no reason to punish these two people, and he had to blame them for commanding his troops to fight. Reward them for winning the Battle of Quicksand.

Although Xavius ​​knew that the elf who called himself Dazar and the little queen who escaped from the imperial capital were the ones who really commanded the troops to win the quicksand battle, these two did not take the initiative to expose themselves on the bright side.

Therefore, these two people naturally became the protagonists in the first half of this meeting.

While Xavius ​​was presiding over the commendation meeting, he suddenly thought that since the Dragon Academy in the North and the Despot of Talisis in the Southwest had taken the initiative to express their allegiance to the Imperial Capital (albeit only as a show), It also gave him the opportunity to punish other guys who disobeyed orders.

During the second half of the Eludis Council meeting, Xavius ​​launched a war against the Gurubashi Autocratic Principality located in the southeast in the name of the Empire Zul.

Tiberius became Xavius' number one target.

In the North, Northrend, in the tower of Dragon Academy, Daza is currently reviewing the government affairs situation in the area under his control while thinking about the next action plan.

At this moment Simon ran up with urgent information from the Imperial Capital.

"His Majesty the First Emperor, urgent information from the Imperial Capital."

"let me see."

Daza raised his head and took the information from Simon's hand, and read it carefully.

The person who wrote this information was Lockes. In this letter, he explained and reported to Dasa in detail the situation during their stay in the imperial capital.

At the same time, he also highlighted something about the Moon Guard’s expedition to the Gurubashi Autocratic Principality on the southeastern border.

"I didn't expect that this guy would be so restless."

After reading this information, Dasa put it aside on the desk.

"His Majesty the First Emperor, what should we do next?"

Simon looked at Dasa, preparing to carry out the First Emperor's order.

"Open the door to welcome the refugees who may arrive, and prepare sufficient warm clothing and food. In addition, we will open up the connection between the northern border and Talisis."

Dasa knew very well that the imperial capital's approach was to declare war on the lords and nobles across the country. There was no legitimate reason, and they found an unfounded excuse, just like an autocratic open war in the southeastern territory. This was not in line with the laws of the empire in the past.

He will be disliked by nobles and lords all over the country.

"Yes, His Majesty the First Emperor."

Simon left the palace after hearing this.

Just as Daza had guessed, as soon as Xavius ​​issued this order, gunpowder smoke and war broke out across the empire.

Tiberius, who was in the southeast, also immediately closed the space portal connecting the imperial capital after hearing the news. On the other hand, he sent a large number of scouts scattered throughout the rain forest to Monitor Imperial forces that may appear in the Gurubashi rainforest.

At the same time, he also actively contacted several other autocratic princes. After discussing the interests with them, he finally persuaded the other three autocratic princes, and the three autocratic princes joined forces. The imperial capital issued a declaration of counter-insurgency, followed by a declaration of preparations for launching troops to quell the rebellion.

Since then, the Imperial Civil War has officially broken out.

In the mountains of Zandalari, Azshara and Vashj each rode a raptor while walking.

"What on earth is that guy Zul doing? What on earth is he thinking?!"

Azshara learned from Shadra about the major events happening in the outside world at this moment. These things made her feel that the whole world had become extremely strange. At the same time, she also felt that Xavius ​​was becoming more and more radical.

"It's not surprising what that traitor did, Your Majesty."

Vashchi didn't think it was surprising that Xavius ​​acted strangely. After all, he was now the most powerful official in the empire.

"Let's go check out the situation at Ataldassa first. Maybe we can get help from the Tomb Guard Corps there."

Azshara decided to establish her stronghold in the Zandalari Mountains first at Atal'Dazar, the resting place of the kings.

"Hey, I never thought our little queen would set her base there. Old Bwonsamdi is so happy."

Just after Azshara determined her next itinerary, Bwonsamdi suddenly appeared. He was happy that Azshara chose to place his base in Atal'Dazar.

"Bwonsamdi, next I want to ask you to give me a proof."

Azshara looked at Bwonsamdi beside her and spoke her request.

"Oh, proof. Okay, sure, sure."

Bwonsamdi was very happy to do this for Azshara. After all, the queen had promised all the Loa that after she regained power, their Loa's beliefs and altars and temples would be restored. Establish.

With Bwonsamdi's testimony, it was not difficult for Azshara to convince the Tomb Keepers to be loyal to her. After gaining the allegiance of the Tomb Keepers, her next target was Zul in the Zandalari Mountains. Among the small villages and towns surrounding Dasa City.

The Tomb Keeper Legion was just a back-up she planned to use to attack Zul'Dazar City and take over the old capital. This time, she planned to rely on the local people living in the Zandalari Mountains.

Time passed by unknowingly, and the imperial civil war ended very quickly. In just half a year, the coalition of four despots was defeated by the imperial army attacking from all sides.

The superb spells of the Moon Guards swept across the entire battlefield, and with the energy supply from the Well of Eternity, they could unleash their spells unscrupulously.

In comparison, the troops of the four autocratic public coalition forces could not do it.

During this period, Lockes and Diocletian did not receive letters from the four autocratic public unions requesting an alliance, but both parties eventually broke down their cooperation because they could not reach an agreement.

The point of disagreement was the leadership. In the original plan, the four despots hoped to treat Diocletian and Lockes as nobles of the same level as themselves, and the two sides negotiated to resolve the leadership issue.

This proposal was naturally opposed by Lockes and Diocletian, who believed that the leader of this army could only be Emperor Dasa or Queen Azshara.

Otherwise, they will never provide any help to the coalition forces, let alone join directly.

In the imperial capital, Xavius ​​was also trying to win over Lockes and Diocletian.He is not stupid. Before he can completely control the Well of Eternity, he still needs the help of these nobles who have not openly rebelled against him.Xavius ​​expressed to these two people openly and secretly that as long as they could help him capture Dasa and Azshara, they would benefit from them in the future.

Diocletian expressed his intention again, but when he recalled Darthana's demon-like posture deep in the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj in the Desert of Silithus, he threw this idea away; He came over and persuaded Xavius ​​to vote for Dasa as soon as possible without losing his current glory and wealth.

However, all this sounded so noisy to Xavius's ears.

Rocks and Diocletian did not stay in the imperial capital for long. In order not to completely force them to rebel, Xavius ​​did not impulsively put them under house arrest in the imperial capital; therefore, things went smoothly for them. Returned to Zul'Farrak and the Academy of Dragons.

In the past half year, not only have there been many changes on the battlefield of the empire's civil war, but in the Zandalari Mountains, the Zandalari Governor-General has also changed its master today.

The civilian rebel army that Azshara mobilized in this area captured the city of Zul'Dazar today. After a grand entrance ceremony, Azshara personally offered sacrifices to the loa on the Loa Platform. .

"Garold, I will leave it to you to liberate the northern Nazmir Forest. I believe you have this ability."

Azshara and Jarod stood on the Loa platform together, looking at the lush forest in the distance.

"Your Majesty, I think I may not be able to do it."

When Jarod heard that Azshara had given him this task, he was a little reluctant to accept it. He was worried that he would mess up the task.

"Don't be afraid, I trust my own judgment, and I also hope you can be more confident. You have been approved by Goldrin, and Avina also said that you still have a lot of potential and talents that you have not yet shown."

Azshara patted the shoulder of the elf boy next to her affectionately.

He saw this young man when he launched an uprising in the rural areas of the Zandalari Mountains. He knew that one of his sisters was sent to the Imperial City to receive training as a high-level priestess because of her excellent talent as an Elune priest. And he and his mother stayed in this mountain village.

After hearing Azshara's story, Jarod recalled Dasa's experience two years ago when Daza was in their home, and he finally decided to follow Azshara in launching this uprising against the governor.

After the Zandalar Mountains uprising, the battle between their rebels and the Governor's troops was fierce, and Jarod gradually showed his extraordinary side in these battles.

Not weak in individual combat ability and excellent command ability.

Azshara is also interested in training this young civilian commander. She yearns for the great generals who followed Dasa when he started out.

She also hopes to have some reliable generals who are willing to gather around her. She cannot do everything by herself, and she needs the strength of her companions to help.

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

Jarod looked at Azshara illuminated by the setting sun. Her beautiful face and gentle smile were enough to keep him in mind.

The light within the light is truly beautiful.

"Go and rest. You haven't slept for three days. Although your body is not bad, you can't stay like this. In three days, you can lead the army north."

Azshara said and asked Jarod to rest.

There are still many things to do next. Taking over this area is just the beginning. What she has to do is to make this place prosperous again.

At Dragon Academy, Daza quickly received a letter from Zul'Dazar. Azshara told him that she had successfully captured Zul'Dazar and was preparing to enter the Nazmir Forest area.

"This girl really has some skills."

After Dasa finished reading the letter, he stood up from his seat.

Looking at the snowflakes still flying in the sky outside the window, he also wanted to go out for a walk.

"Your Majesty, can our next action begin?"

At this time, Rocks pushed open the closed door of the palace and walked in front of Dasa.

"How's the troops regrouping?"

Daza turned around and looked at Rocks who entered the hall.

"All the vacancies in the main force have been filled, and half of the reserve troops have been filled, but training is still needed."

Locks truthfully reported the situation of the troops to Daza. The losses in the Battle of Quicksand were too heavy.

In the past six months, if the entire empire had not been in chaos due to the civil war, and many people had fled to the north, it would have been difficult to replace the lost manpower.

"Wait a moment. By the way, do you have any information about those autocrats?"

Dasa thought about the next step in his mind.

"Recently, they have been sending out letters asking for help more and more diligently. Their troops are about to be unable to hold on."

Rocks took out a large pile of letters from his arms.

"Wait a minute. Since these guys haven't taken the initiative to offer refuge, it means the situation is not urgent."

Dasa took one look at the thickness of the pile of letters and smiled.

There is another reason why he is unwilling to deal with the four despots. Azshara does not like these four despots; the empire's management structure is already too rigid, and simple reform will not make any improvement.

If we want to continue to develop, the only option is revolution.

Dragon Academy may be preserved as a pure academy city in the future, but those nobles and governors will inevitably be eliminated.

If I had assisted a few despots at this time, even if I recaptured the imperial capital and allowed Azshara to regain power in the future, it would be no different from now.

Rather than doing this, it would be better to sit back and watch the Imperial City deal with these troublesome nobles, and then they will take action against the Imperial Capital.

There was another reason why Daza delayed going to the imperial capital. N'Zos was there.

The well of eternity is the last known sealing place of the ancient gods. When he arrives there, he will definitely end it with N'Zoth.

In addition, preparations must be made for the fight against the Burning Legion.

Time is running out for everyone on Azeroth.
