DNF, made by the ancient gods

As for turning to support the empire after entering the internal affairs?

Take a good look at this empire that was "hands-on" pierced by them. There is a revolutionary army in the west, a peaceful republic in the east, and some restless ethnic minorities in the south. Coupled with the political system that is rotten to the root, only a fool can Will think about stabilizing the empire!

The cost of rebuilding a country is much less than the cost of repairing an empire.

As for patriotism?

Sorry, this thing is probably worthless in the hearts of these "demons" who "personally" defeated the empire.

——In this world, only "profit" is eternal.

Turning his gaze away, he stared at the unimaginably large manor, and the magician walked straight towards it.

——What he wants to do today may be exaggerated.

*

With money and "support", the army's combat power will naturally become stronger.

The corners of Cromwell's mouth curled up slightly, watching the "supplies" that arrived at the base camp after being transported for three days, and couldn't help feeling the urge to look up to the sky and laugh.

--equipment

——Army rations

— Siege Engine

And most importantly... war horses!

He naturally knew who provided these things, they were nothing more than the big merchants of the empire.As one of the few people in the Peaceful Republic who can understand the situation, he can see through the "deals" between Baige and many businessmen.

This is normal. After all, the "enclosure" has been popular for more than 200 years, and big businessmen are no longer satisfied with their immediate interests.They have been squeezed and squeezed out by the imperial power all the year round, longing for real "liberation" - interference in internal affairs!

Each of them is a real "demon" who owns a vast land and hires countless serfs to work for him.But even so, these "demons" are just pawns in the hands of high-level officials of the empire.

They have long been unwilling.

The big merchants first supported the revolutionary army on the west side of the empire, providing them with the possibility of rising, and then were persuaded by the magician with "facts" and began to tilt their supplies to the Republic of Tranquility on the east side of the empire. Their purpose has long been obvious But that's all.

It is also because of this that their "support" is gradually increasing.

——Especially after the Republic of Tranquility began to gradually master some of the water transport routes and provided them with tax incentives that were far lower than those of the empire.

As a well-prepared group, they have already prepared the goods to be shipped abroad, and the Republic of Tranquility has not caused any damage to the water transportation routes, so they can even start transporting goods immediately.

Of course, this kind of thing still has to be done "secretly"... At least, in the entire empire, except for the minister who got a little wind, no one knew that the goods of these big merchants had already started to be delivered through the waterway transportation route controlled by the Republic of Tranquility.

"Mr. William can't be underestimated to get investment from these big businessmen..."

Cromwell knocked on the wooden table, on which was still the draft he had written - "The Great Protest".

Yes, he never thought of "overthrowing" the empire. Although he had great ambitions, he didn't think overthrowing the empire was a feasible measure before.Therefore, his idea at the time was to gather the power of the people to launch a coup d'état and behead the Minister Hornest, who was disastrous for the country and the people.

Then, retain the little emperor's throne in name, and then use the law to limit his power, pushing the country's political system in a completely different direction.

——"Constitutional monarchy", this is the word "Mr. William" used to evaluate his ideas. I still remember the high praise "Mr. William" gave him, and he himself readily accepted this praise.

But that's what it used to be.

Now he... has enough "conditions".

"If the conditions are equal..."

The corners of the mouth are slightly raised, and the smile that instinctively learned from "Mr. William" is already six points similar.

He began drafting another copy.

- "Declaration of Human Rights"

As night falls—

The shadow hidden in the darkness quietly boarded the highest point of the manor - the bell tower.

Under his gaze, the most luxurious hall was brightly lit.

Chapter 055 The Rise of the Third Pole

The figure crossed several obstacles like a ghost, and then pushed open the main entrance of the hall openly.

What greeted him was not fine wine and delicacies, but Ernest who sat calmly on the main seat with sharp eyes.

There are no maids, no servants, just an empty hall, and...

Watching the minister with an unchanged expression, the magician tilted his head slightly and scanned the four corners of the hall.

As he expected, there are many people hidden here. It is estimated that Minister Ernest used the hidden combat power to protect himself... Maybe he didn't hide it.

After all, sometimes a strong deterrence can make some Xiaoxiao retreat, and the minister who is the actual controller of the empire also has this ability.

"You're really here, traitor of An Ning Road."

Naturally, he would not recognize the independent status of the "Republic of Tranquility". With a sullen face, Ernest glanced behind Baige with sharp eyes. He was sure that this young man did not bring any "companions". Could it be that the current assassin Are you all this arrogant?

Yes, he just regarded Bai Ge as an assassin belonging to the Republic of Tranquility, which is normal thinking.No one would think that the leader of the enemy would personally break into his own position with a sword in hand to carry out "assassination".

"It seems that you are not surprised."

Withdrawing his scrutinizing gaze, Baige raised his hand slightly, and his wand was lifted a little because of this.

"You killed those people who left the imperial capital, right? It's really daring, I don't know what it means!"

"Whether I am bold or not is still unknown, but one thing is certain..."

The four figures hiding in the corner rushed out first, and then seventeen figures followed, but in terms of speed, they were obviously not as fast as the four who stepped forward at the beginning.

"—Your ending will be the same as theirs."

The elements surrounding it surged instantly, and the highly conductive electric current burst into a dazzling blue-white brilliance. It crossed the distance of several meters in less than one hundredth of a second, and hit the famous Luo One of the four ghosts.

"Zizizizizi------!!!"

A large amount of lightning splashed, and for an extremely short moment, even the woman who was recruited could not react, and then the lightning continued to pass, and under the delicate operation of the magician, a "rope" was formed in an instant to run through 21 people, and the next a moment—

"Bang——!!!"

The violent electric current jumps the so-called "long-trained" strong body, and touches a "spark" in a very short moment. The 21 people connected by this lightning are like a powder keg that has been ignited , suddenly "exploded".

The voltage was as high as 42 volts, and the current far exceeding the limit of the human body also carbonized the human body in an instant, and the powerful destructive force erupted even shocked the minister's ears with blood.

The huge body was pushed back and fell heavily on the wall behind. The terrifying "power" was like a pair of invisible giant hands swinging away, destroying everything here.

Then, the huge magic power supported the weight of the entire hall so that it would not collapse on the spot.

"Unfortunately, in this situation where the conditions of the two parties are not equal, absolute power is enough to destroy all calculations."

Stretching out his hand, he saw that the minister who smashed the wall into a cobweb-like hole trembled slightly, and his huge body bounced up with a sensitivity that didn't match his quality at all.

"Ireston—!!!"

He was so excited that his voice broke inadvertently, and what echoed his shouted words was the sudden shattering of the jewels on the headdress he was wearing.

Then, the pupils dilated slightly, and the minister, whose eyes were full of joy, exposed the short dagger hidden in his sleeve-at this distance, a dagger can play a far greater role than a different one. A musket that knows where to be blown is powerful.

——Successful!

"boom----!"

In the puzzled expression of the magician, the minister, who could barely be described as "strong", flew backwards with a momentum far stronger than when he was advancing, and slammed heavily on the wall again.

And what caused his miserable state was only a fireball that exploded against his chest.

"You, you, how could it be..."

His eyes widened, his chest had been blasted to a bloody mess, and the minister with bones exposed stretched out his hand, tremblingly pointing at the magician in front of him.

--This is impossible!

You know, the gemstone headband on his head is a Teigu named "Ireston", and the renewable gemstone inlaid in the center has the ability to destroy Teigu—destroying certain Teigu at the cost of breaking the gemstone. Noble Phantasm within the range, and gems need a week to regenerate, this is the essence of this Teigu.

However, he had already activated Teigu.

"Impossible! You are definitely Tegushi..."

In this world, human beings have no other way out except for exercising their own physical fitness. It is the privilege of the dangerous species to manipulate the power of nature as they please. It is absolutely impossible for human beings to use this mighty force that belongs to nature.

Hearing this, Baige frowned slightly, and he was able to roughly understand what the minister wanted to do just now, and then connected with the scene where the gem was broken...

"I never said from the beginning that my ability can only be used by Tegu..."

The pupils shrank suddenly, but in the next moment, this minister who had been in the court for decades completely lost the right to think - an ice sword exuding a faint cold air entered his forehead in the next moment, freezing his thinking in the this moment.

The magician who made this move nodded slightly, approached the minister after a little thought, reached out and took off the gem headband on his head.

——This is a Teigu.

The first time he got the headband, Baige used magic power to penetrate it thoroughly, as he expected - this manufacturing process is very similar to the Emperor who was dismantled and smelted by him.

That is to say, Minister Hornest actually hides another unknown identity—Teigushi.

If his predictions are correct, this must be Minister Ornest's last reliance, and judging from his final performance, this Teigu seems to be used to target other Teigu...

"—a pleasant surprise."

The hall collapsed in an instant, and the huge shock was transmitted from the manor to most of the imperial capital, so startled that the guards on the city wall hurriedly rang the alarm bell.

But at the next moment, watching the turbid smoke rising from the direction of Minister Ernest's manor, everyone's eyes widened in unison, showing an expression of disbelief.

Chapter 056

January 1, 1st year of the new calendar——

Deputy Commander Cromwell released a text with cross-age significance today-the "Declaration of Human Rights".

In this era of underdeveloped communication, he thought that it would not be so simple to pass this copy to the emperor.Therefore, there are only a small number of people who understand his "advanced" thinking.

And on the same day, Deputy Commander Cromwell, who received a large amount of material support and even hundreds of horses and cavalry, led his army northward.

*

Marston Moor—

The huge army crossed the prairie with delicious pastures and entered this vast and endless wasteland. Facing such a scene always arouses some emotion in the heart of the "hero".

The army walked slowly, even after several "baptisms", there were still militias composed of newly joined villagers, and these militias accounted for roughly [-]% of the entire queue.

Don't underestimate these militiamen - in the past, the empire could not send too many troops to protect these huge population of villagers. Therefore, whenever dangerous species attacked a large village, it was these villagers who stood up.They do some hard work every day. Although it hurts their bodies, they have a strong body at this age when they are in their prime.

Therefore, there are also quite a few fierce men among them who can tear apart low-level dangerous species with their hands, and they are even much stronger than ordinary soldiers.

But they also have shortcomings, that is, these villagers lack discipline and are too difficult to organize, so they can only be arranged in the front and become "death squads".

On the left and right wings of the army are the cavalry.

These cavalry were not cultivated by the Tranquility Republic itself. If they were allowed to cultivate cavalry capable of charging into battle, it would take more time than that.

Therefore, it was the big merchants who supported them—the cavalry and war horses were jointly funded by the big merchants. Although each of them didn't contribute much, the results obtained by several people's joint efforts should not be underestimated.

Looking into the distance, a city looms in sight.

"Are you confident in resolving this battle?"

The magician rode a tall horse with a calm expression.

"That's natural."

Cromwell confidently replied to his "question".

"If the empire responded in a timely manner and sent reinforcements here in advance, the ending would be somewhat unpredictable, but is it possible?"

The army behind him slowly moved forward like a black tide, fighting with each other, horses neighing, and the banners of "freedom" and "equality" fluttered high in front of the army.

"Hasn't the Mister already beheaded the most authoritative person in the empire? I'm afraid that by tomorrow, the news will spread wildly."

Looking at the jeweled tiara on the forehead of the magician, this familiar thing caught Cromwell's attention slightly. He is also someone who has seen the minister, and a person like him who is good at observing and scrutinizing naturally remembers the characteristics of Minister Ernest. down.

Naturally, he was very clear about this jewel tiara.

"probably."

The horse under his feet stagnated, and then——

"Now, it's your time—"
