The young boy sits expressionlessly on the throne symbolizing the supreme power of the empire. He is the supreme authority of the empire—the little emperor.

As always, in the solemn hall, it was as quiet as death.

The little emperor sat on the throne, looking down majestically at the important officials in the hall.

In the central aisle, there was a shivering person kneeling.

This place was supposed to be the gathering place of the imperial dignitaries, but the tyranny shrouded in this place of supreme imperial power made it difficult for the oppressed courtiers to breathe smoothly.

Civilian officials and generals have different faces, some are sad, and some are gloating...

No matter who it is, they try their best to cover up the fluctuations in their hearts, for fear of being seen by the ghost hidden behind the throne.

Holding the scepter that symbolizes the imperial power of the empire, the little emperor looked at the man kneeling below with no expression on his face and said, "Sauer, interior minister, are you criticizing my policy? You have delayed the government affairs of the empire. In the name of the emperor, I will punish you for splitting and killing."

The little emperor sitting on the throne, did not have the slightest emotional fluctuation, and he didn't feel anything even if he was convicted of a crime by torture such as splitting and killing. Those eyes were empty, without right or wrong, and there was no reflection of anyone in them. shadow.

Saul, the interior officer who was kneeling below for trial, seemed to have fallen into the abyss with the voice of the emperor, and his expression was shrouded in despair.

Many civil servants and generals present also felt fear, and they all showed disbelieving expressions in the palace, and tried their best to look sideways at His Majesty the Emperor.

What happened here, they all knew it well, everything was arranged by that person.

The little emperor was manipulated as a puppet, and the emperor was played by that person in applause.

"Is this okay? Minister!"

"Woohoo, well done, Your Majesty, you really deserve to be a Mingjun!"

Laughter without the slightest respect came from the shadow of the throne, and the person who stepped out looked fat and huge. He was tall and fat, obviously caused by excessive accumulation of fat.

In the solemn hall, the minister casually ate the barbecue.

The little emperor suddenly became weak when he saw the food in the minister's hand: "Is it meat again? You eat so much!"

The minister casually stuffed food into his mouth: "Hoohoo, it's okay not to enjoy it while you're alive!"

It seems to be talking about himself, or talking to the courtiers around the palace.

No matter who it was, they all lowered their heads after hearing the minister's words, but they didn't feel ashamed in their hearts, they were simply sweating coldly from being frightened.

No matter who he is, if he doesn't attach himself to the minister and let him go, he will end up like the internal affairs officer Sauer. The day before yesterday, he was an important minister of the empire.

The root cause of this situation is that the people who can treat the palace as their own backyard, the ministers...like ghosts and gods, can turn the whole country into their own marionettes, and nothing can completely drive the disobedient into the abyss of despair, than the little emperor's respect for the ministers... Almost unconditional trust.

At this moment, Sauer suddenly shouted: "Your Majesty, you have been deceived by the minister. Your people are living in dire straits. The assassination last night is the people's anger!"

"Master Saul, what a declaration with a sense of justice, it sounds so moving!"

There was an incredible kind smile on the minister's face, his kindness and cruelty were the consensus of the imperial capital.

Interior Officer Saul gritted his teeth and stared at the minister, wishing to bite off every piece of fat on his body.

"Well, what you said has always been true from the beginning!"

Turning his head back, the minister's ruthless gaze turned to the hall, and the guards on the left and right attacked at the same time. The iron rod of the halberd slammed on the back of the interior minister Sauer, and the screams immediately resounded through the palace.

"What a sad parting!"

The minister was still so leisurely... Internal Affairs Officer Shao raised his head with the last of his strength, and shouted vigorously.

"Your Majesty, if this continues, the thousand-year-old empire will fall apart, and the time of destruction is not far away..."

The voice stopped abruptly, and it was not the emperor who had changed his mind, but the minister with a gloomy face and the distorted ridicule that appeared in front of the interior minister Sauer.

"Let me take care of the beautiful wife you left behind. I will take good care of you, in every way... woohoo..." The minister walked down the steps slowly, and then came to In front of Saul, with an evil smile on his face, he tore off a piece of meat and ate it.

The sound of sending Interior Minister Sauer into hell completely disappeared as the guards dragged him down the hall.

There is no hope at all, the face of the interior officer Sauer was twisted into a ball but he was powerless to resist, his body and will were completely suppressed, and even his family members would disappear without a trace.

"This...this kind of thing... can be left alone?"

"Crime must be punished... Anyone can... Please!"

"Give this demon what it deserves!"

"It seems that standing on the minister's side is indeed right..."

"In this world, what is more important than your own life?"

"Fool, you actually opposed the minister for those untouchables..."

During the whole process, the civil servants and generals on both sides remained silent as usual. Although they had their own thoughts in their hearts, they didn't say a word.

The internal affairs officer Sauer who was locked up was not executed immediately, because the "care" promised by the minister was about to be fulfilled. He was tortured a lot in prison, and the portrait of his wife and daughter being ruthlessly abused, the detailed process and clear His facial expressions, any shouts and screams are also depicted one by one.

The brutal mental torture until the minister dragged his family into the prison together, watching his wife and daughter being abused by guards and prisoners in a place separated by an iron fence...until everyone's spirits collapsed...

The minister's distant relative, Iokal, died in a night attack by the revolutionary army's assassination forces, and Oka, the captain of the Imperial Guard, was also assassinated some time ago.

The security team was dispatched repeatedly to search and arrest the imperial capital, and even the night raids did not catch a hair under the mobilization of the army, but it is unknown how many innocent citizens of the empire were killed.

And none of this has anything to do with Liu Xu. After he arrived at the western border of the empire in Elmonda, he got information about the mission from the members of the Revolutionary Army who were responsible for the response.

"Heitongjiang, come to my bowl quickly..."

Chapter 270 Esdes

The night raid set off a bloody storm in the imperial capital, causing the ministers to tremble in fear, and the revolutionary army also suffered heavy losses.

The revolutionary army stronghold in the Rongshuka area suffered a devastating blow, and this was just to divert the attention of the revolutionary army. The real goal of the empire was not a few small strongholds.

When Liu Xu rushed to the Rongxuka area in Elmonda, the Imperial Army barracks ushered in a big man whom they both respected and feared, William.

William is the nephew of General Bude, who has been fighting against the Revolutionary Army outside, and is deeply trusted by General Bude.

When William got out of the carriage, he said to the officer of the Imperial Army who came to greet him, "Major General Jerry, I heard that a secret camp of the Revolutionary Army was found here, and they even built a castle. Let's go, take me to see it. "

Although the ranks of both sides are major generals, and William's major general is still a semi-vain rank, and he does not directly command the army like a major general of the Imperial Army, but from the attitudes of both sides, William seems to be the direct superior of the other party.

"Well, General William, it seems..."

Before Major General Jerry finished speaking, he was interrupted coldly by William: "It doesn't seem to matter! Take me to the scene, immediately! If you don't want to go, then I will find someone else to lead the way, but you don't have to do it again from now on." lead the way."

Major General Jerry immediately put on a smile and said, "No, no, I will arrange it right away. Please wait for a few minutes."

"By the way, call City Lord Roy and Major General Greem together."

Major General Jerry hesitated again: "Those two have been very busy..."

William didn't listen to his explanation at all: "In half an hour, I want to see their people standing in front of me."

Roy, the lord of Scarlet Fire City, and the two generals Jerry and Grimm of the Imperial Army's Red Fire City garrison are the three most powerful empires in Scarlet Fire City.

This kind of equipment has already highlighted the status of Scarlet Fire City. Generally, there is only one city lord in charge of the management of cities of the same size, but there are actually two major generals of the empire sitting here.

Major General Jerry's smile froze, and he immediately called his adjutant and shouted: "Go and invite the city lord and Major General Grimm. No matter what method you use, make sure they arrive within half an hour! Just say this is General William's order, Did you hear me?"

William glanced at him and said calmly: "It's useless to try to push the matter on my head. I can afford the impeachment of the three generals in the borderlands."

Major General Jerry is almost fifty years old, and he is tactful. At this moment, he grovels in front of William, who is more than half his age, and laughs repeatedly: "How dare I! Just don't use your name, those two will not Will come, they will not give me such a big face."

William nodded noncommittally, then walked straight back to the carriage, sat in the carriage and began to close his eyes to rest, leaving only Major General Jerry outside.

This kind of behavior clearly regarded Major General Jerry as an orderly, but Major General Jerry looked normal and didn't take this insult seriously at all.

In Scarlet Fire City, where he was stationed, a large-scale rebel camp was discovered, and they even built a castle.

Regardless of the fact that both sides are major generals, their military ranks are the same, but William is a man of the younger generation of the general faction, quite prestigious in the army, and has a bright future.

However, the garrison regiment of Scarlet Fire City is only a second-rate regiment in the imperial army. Although the military ranks of the two sides are the same, the difference in status is worlds apart.

It's just that the mountains near Red Fire City are rich in a metal called black iron, which is a good material for making weapons, so the military department sent two generals over.

Normally, these two major generals, who belong to the minister and the general, are not subordinate to each other. Each has his own territory, and no one obeys the other.

Major General Jerry sent his adjutant to call Major General Greem, it would be considered polite not to be kicked out on the spot.

But William is different. This kind of nobleman acts unscrupulously, and sometimes he even doesn't know how to measure. Really stand up to scrutiny?

In less than twenty minutes, Roy and Major General Grimm arrived.

William didn't say much, he abandoned the carriage for a horse and went to the outpost closest to the revolutionary army camp.

Half an hour later, Jianma hissed and stopped, while William had already led the three chief officials of Scarlet Fire City into a hidden lookout point.

The ancient castle is dense, and it seems to have a big atmosphere.

After more than ten minutes, William said: "I heard that the imperial assassination forces accidentally discovered this revolutionary army camp. The three were cautious and resourceful. They reported it to the empire immediately and did not send troops to destroy it."

No matter how you hear this sentence, it doesn't sound like a compliment. The three major generals may be filled with shame and anger, but nothing can be seen on their faces.

William stood with his hands behind his back, and said flatly: "Since this camp has such a weather, it seems that it was not a one-day achievement, then let me destroy them, and let these revolutionary troops know how powerful our imperial army is."

"No!"

"do not want!"

"General William think twice!"

The two major generals and the city lord of Scarlet Fire City were shocked at the same time and hurriedly dissuaded them.

William's status is very important, and that is the future mainstay of the general's faction.

If he dies here, it will implicate all the high-level people in Scarlet Fire City.

At that time, dismissal and investigation will definitely be light. I'm afraid that if I don't talk about my own head, it will also harm my relatives and friends.

"It doesn't matter if you are going to die, don't implicate us!"

The three of them looked at each other, and it was rare for them to agree at this moment. Even Major General Greem, who was from the general faction, didn't want to see William.

This revolutionary army camp is not simple. It is said that there are senior leaders of the revolutionary army inside.

"A mere revolutionary army camp scares you like this!" Seeing the appearance of the three of them, William snorted heavily, and said coldly, "Hmph, I don't know if I can stop our imperial army from burying nails under the eyes of the empire." Bingfeng cavalry."

"But the opponent clearly has a geographical advantage. Even if General William wants to attack, he has to think long-term!" Seeing that William was about to leave, Roy hurriedly stopped him.

"The three may have stayed in the borderlands for too long and have forgotten the history of the empire." William suddenly let out a heavy breath and said, "The history of the empire is written in iron and blood..."

The three of them nodded in agreement on the surface, but none of them moved, and at the same time they exchanged winks, trying to stop William.

At this moment, a flat voice suddenly sounded in everyone's ears: "Well said!"
