DNF, made by the ancient gods

—The trumpet is blowing!

*

"The people in front, give me the top!"

There was an obvious scar on his face, bright red blood slowly left from the scratch, and the bloody smell that had just permeated was also gone. This wound was just left not long ago.

He was the general sent by the Empire to South Yorkshire, and he was also the commander in chief of this war.Although... the word "war" has also been far away from him for a long time.

"Where did these rebels get the muskets! Are all of you intelligence agencies eating nothing!?"

Suppressing the anger in his chest, General Kalu kicked the soldier from the intelligence department, only to see his chest rising and falling, and his pupils were bloodshot.

At this moment, he is not on the city wall, but on the Marston Wasteland.

Yes, the order he received was to "exterminate the rebels". Therefore, going to war is a must. If he just hides in the city wall, he is tantamount to disobeying the military order, which will lead to his death felony.

In addition, before half an hour, he was still full of confidence.

He didn't think that these rebels who had only appeared in the eyes of the world for half a month could have any sophisticated equipment. This idea came to him. He heard that the enemy might have hundreds of cavalry, and he was never afraid.

Because there are thousands of musketeers under him.

Cold weapons fight hot weapons, as long as those cavalry dare to charge, he dares to shoot them all off the horses with a volley of muskets!

With this in mind, General Kalu, who had never understood the "crazy" and "steady" of the merchants, led the army and followed the instructions of the empire to fight the army of the Tranquility Republic that had not yet fully "formed".

Yes, the big merchants of the empire are "crazy" - as long as they have enough benefits, they can do things that ordinary people dare not do, even if they know that holding the economic lifeline of the empire will bring them death, but they still Like a shark smelling blood, he pounced on it and bit it tightly in his mouth.

In the final analysis, this is for "profit".

But in the same way, the big businessmen of the empire are also very "steady". On the one hand, they are taking "adventures", but on the other hand, they are trying their best to avoid the possibility of failure, because they cannot accept any failure.As far as the status quo is concerned, even any failure can make them die without a place to bury them.

Therefore, they are more "steady".

Its specific manifestation is 25 minutes ago, when the two armies faced each other, the three thousand musketeers that emerged from the An Ning army.

Yes, they are not professional, and some people even touch the gun for less than 24 hours, but what they need to do is too simple.

It's unimaginably simple.

"Prepare----"

There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and upon receiving Cromwell's instruction, the musketeers lined up in three rows reacted immediately—the musketeers standing in the front row raised their muskets, this mass-produced musket Although relatively "cheap", the disadvantages are also very obvious-only one shot can be fired, and then it needs to be reloaded.

And after a breath, all those who raised their guns had already put their fingers on the triggers.

"put--!"

"Bang——!!!"

"Bang——!!!"

"Bang——!!!"

……

In response to the "cavalry raid", General Kalu, who divided the musketeers into three groups to protect the main force, was terrified, and the weapons of war produced by the Empire were poured on the Empire.

"Left Wing Cavalry! Charge—!"

Like a landslide and a tsunami, the army marched towards the enemy army whose order had been breached in an instant.

Chapter 057

Wearing a white military uniform, the cold woman who looked unusually "unconventional" standing in front of the black army nodded slightly, and the sharp eyes under the military cap pointed directly at the capital ahead.

The hazy mist has already covered most of the outline of the imperial capital. Looking from a distance, the imperial capital, which occasionally reflects a little light because of the special buildings, is like a lion that is getting old. Even the vitality is quite radiant means.

And Estes, along with the army behind her, didn't have to wait long.About 27 seconds passed, and with a heavy sound, the gate of the imperial capital slowly opened towards them.

"General Esdes, wait for someone to come late and delay the general's time, please forgive me—"

Drenching a little cold sweat, the soldier who rushed forward immediately knelt down in front of Esdesh.If possible, I believe he absolutely does not want to touch this "hero".

After all, Estes is now a well-known figure in the imperial capital, and her main point is reflected in her "cruelty". The killing of foreign nationalities in the north has completely exterminated the foreign nationalities in the north. Cruel methods such as "genocide" are too much for the common people to treat the enemy.

Of course, they can say this because they live in the imperial capital rather than the north, so they have the leisure to stand on the moral high ground and criticize such behavior.You must know that the people living in the north are very grateful for Esdeth's approach, which makes them no longer have to endure the harassment of foreign nationalities in the north.

"Your duty is to guard the city gate, and it takes time to open the city gate. Why are you guilty?"

Estes glanced at the soldiers kneeling on the ground, while the tall steed raised its feet and carried the proud general into the imperial capital.

"God open my eyes! That evil guy is finally dead!"

"That's right, I heard that the death is quite miserable, this is retribution!"

As the saying goes, when the wall falls and everyone pushes it, once Minister Ornest died, the evil results accumulated when he took over the emperor's hand and implemented tyranny for many years suddenly exploded.Those who are timid and cautious stay at home and talk to their family members without saying a word, while those who are more courageous gather in places such as bars and brothels to talk loudly.

"Hey, be careful, I heard that there are still his remnants in the ruling and opposition parties..."

"Hmph, those guys are not good things. Didn't you hear that? His Majesty the Emperor wants to re-select ministers, but I heard that the new ministers have already been selected!"

"What does this have to do with those remnants?"

"Of course I have. Let me tell you, what is the new minister to do after taking office? It must be to get rid of these dog slaves who follow the previous **** bastard. At that time, they will not be able to protect themselves!"

"How do you know that the new minister will definitely fall out with them?"

"Of course it is, of course it is... hey! I said, why do you care so much? As long as you know that the new minister and those dog slaves are not all the same thing?"

"I'm worried about the character of the new minister!"

"What are you afraid of? No matter how bad it is, it won't be worse than that old fellow Ernest! We can all survive under his management, a new minister... that's all!"

Talking loudly about state affairs, there are only a few people who can have their own opinions, and the two in front of them obviously have received a lot of education from the state.

Coupled with the hostility they can only vaguely reveal to Minister Ernest and his followers, this extraordinary hostility also shows that they may have some deep hatred for him.

But that's all other trivia.

Now, there is only one piece of news that is spreading wildly in the entire imperial capital - the "good news" of Minister Hornest's death.The heat of this news is far greater than the news of the defeat of Marston Wasteland.

In fact, the victory or defeat of the Battle of Marston Wasteland did not even make a splash in the vortex that swept across the entire imperial capital, because no one paid attention to it at all-"a mere" a big failure in a battle, "a mere "How could the loss of a city affect them as much as the death of Minister Ernest?

It's none of your business, hang on high.This is their civilian way of life.

While the people of the imperial capital are making this matter very hot, there is another event with great influence fermenting.

"We have already grasped the lifeblood of most of the internal affairs officials. This time, it is about the selection of ministers, and we are already sure."

The seasoned businessman slightly mentioned his gold-rimmed lenses, and in front of him sat six other "noble" businessmen.They are currently in one of the most extravagant restaurants in the empire, and their sales are generous, taking over the entire restaurant at once.

Sitting in a box on the second floor, the large sound insulation here is excellent, and it is an ideal place for negotiation.

"With these lifelines, even if they know that we are going to deal with them, they have to obediently catch them. It's ridiculous."

"You can't say that, they are just trying to protect themselves."

……

Of course, they can still reach a consensus on this "arbitrary" matter.

"We want to thoroughly cleanse the internal affairs officials, and take all the important positions into our hands. Even if we want to abandon this empire, we have to squeeze out its last value."

"Don't be too ugly when you eat."

"Ha, you still say such things at this time, I think you clearly want to eat more, right? Tsk, you are obviously more greedy than me, but you always pretend to be so noble, aren't you tired?"

It's well worth hitting someone with words, especially if it's your competitor.

"Calm down, our gathering this time is not for you to quarrel."

The old man sitting on the main seat frowned slightly, and saw him sternly said:

"I know that the two of you have friction in business, but that's inevitable. How you want to resolve your own affairs is your own business, but I just ask you not to waste everyone's time at this time. "

His eyes narrowed slightly, like a cunning old fox.

"After all, our gathering this time is to distribute the next 'cake'..."

*

"The minister... is dead?"

Lifting his eyelids, Estes looked at the little emperor sitting on the throne, feeling a little surprised for a moment.

"Yes, General Esdes, Minister Ornest unfortunately passed away yesterday, and the murderer has not been found yet."

"Your Majesty has been sad for a long time, take care of the dragon body! Your Majesty."

The internal affairs officers comforted the little emperor and helped Estes answer her doubts.

"And the new minister will take office tomorrow."

Chapter 058

The next day—

"Please fight?"

Sitting on the throne, the little emperor, who looked extremely helpless, muttered these words in a low voice. He habitually looked at his side, but it was difficult to find the figure he trusted so much.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

As a courtier, Estes, as the general of the empire, is naturally qualified to make some "military" requests to the little emperor-although the military attache cannot participate in politics, the military aspect is left to the military attache.

"The Tranquility Army has already captured Marston County, and may lead an army to capture the territory of the Empire again at any time, and I am eager to march this time because it is precisely to quell the chaos."

Said without changing face.To be honest, the life and death of Minister Ernest is not of much value to her, after all, they are just using each other.

Hearing this, the general looked sideways slightly, and the many internal affairs officials who had ghosts in their hearts even stagnated for breathing.

"By the way, there is also the matter of the rebellious army..."

Staring at the internal affairs officer below, the little emperor pondered for a moment, and then spoke.

"Then... what do you guys think?"

This kind of thing still needs to seek the opinions of the internal affairs officials. After all, the real decision-makers are the emperor and the internal affairs officials... Although there have been a few emperors who held all the power in their hands in history, that is obviously not the case now. The little emperor can do it.

"I don't think it's appropriate."

The conclusion was reached almost immediately, and the "highly respected" new minister who was pushed onto the stage by many behind-the-scenes people spoke slowly, with a mature tone.

"Your Majesty, please pay attention. The Great Tranquility Army on the east side of the empire may seem dangerous, but after all they are just newly grown seedlings. On the west side of the empire, there is a fierce tiger lying down."

"You mean...the Revolutionary Army?"

Throwing out the abandoned child of the revolutionary army without hesitation, the corners of the new minister's mouth raised slightly, appearing very calm and confident.

"Your Majesty is right. The revolutionary army on the west side of the empire is our confidant. They have taken root in the west side for a long time, and they have robbed the vast territory of the empire. Afterwards, they have colluded with foreign nations in the west. If we don't If we destroy them, the situation of the empire will be in danger."

"Does that mean we should put down the revolutionary army first?"

"That's right, Your Majesty, if you think about it carefully, the revolutionary army is like a tiger lying in the west of the empire, even occupying eleven cities of the empire. Compared with it, the Republic of Tranquility on the east side of the empire is just a newborn Little milk cat, you can tell who is the greatest threat to the empire at a glance."

"If we put down the Revolutionary Army, we will definitely give the An'an Army time to develop, but if we choose to put down the An'ing Army, the Revolutionary Army will also take advantage of it. But we must choose the lesser of two evils."

He slowed down slightly.

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, the most important thing is to put down the revolutionary army first and remove the great harm from the empire."

Looking deeply at the new minister, Estes then looked away. She did not deny the correctness of his words, but the beast-like intuition she had developed since she was a child made her feel a little inappropriate.

However, she was not determined to put down the An Ning Army. The reason why she chose the An Ning Army first was simply because she was interested in it.After all, most of the strength of the Revolutionary Army has been exposed, but this peaceful republic is very mysterious.

"That makes sense... what do you think?"

Perhaps out of trust in the position of "minister", the little emperor, who had been formed into a habit of "dependence" by Minister Ernest since he was a child, agreed with the idea of ​​the new minister after a little thought.

"My minister agrees."

"My minister agrees."

……

Several internal affairs officials also expressed their opinions one after another—they were already tied to a chariot, and none of the people who could be reused by the previous ministers were clean. If Minister Ernest was still alive, These details would not cause much trouble, but the problem was that Minister Ernest was dead and they had lost their umbrella.

But at this time, their handles were still in their hands. If these things were exposed, according to the laws of the empire, it would be enough to kill them all.

Therefore, for their own wealth and lives, they also had to cooperate with the new minister.
