I have millions of wage earners

As for the empire, they were not happy to see the birth of a new king in the first place.

In the empire's view, all human kings on this continent should accept the empire's recognition.

Let other kings accept the recognition of the empire, even if it is only a formality, so that they can represent the authority of their empire.

In past history, many new kings were not necessarily the younger brothers of the empire.

There are even some unruly kings whose relationship with the empire is not very harmonious.

But generally speaking, the empire will not interfere too much with other kings' announcement of proclaiming themselves king and founding a country.

The empire does not care about the birth of a new king of a small country.

The empire only needs respect.

Respect the imperial system of governance.

Even Flynn, who had just fought a solid battle with the Empire and killed millions of Empire troops.

If Flynn is willing to write a letter of divorce and ask for the emperor's approval.

There is a high probability that the empire will still declare its approval of Flynn as king.

The canonization and certification of emerging kings of mankind are, to a certain extent, one of the legal foundations of the current system of imperial rule over the existing continent.

You don’t have to deal with me, but you must recognize my identity as the Celestial Kingdom.

But now that Flynn has claimed the title of king without permission, he has shaken the foundation of the empire's dominance over the kings.

But right now, the empire can't find anything wrong with it.

Because Flynn carried the dragon flag and became king.

Rather, some idiot.

With the dragon flag as the endorsement, Flynn was crowned king. Even if the empire was very unhappy, it could not declare Flynn's throne illegal.

It is also impossible to attack Flynn through public opinion and isolate Flynn diplomatically.

The empire can only say a few words from other aspects, but it cannot hit the key point.

The Empire was unable to put pressure on Flynn diplomatically or from the perspective of legal orthodoxy.

So the empire chose to use the simplest method-that is, military means.

Just in time, after the recent period of recovery and preparation.

The empire seems to be ready to reignite the war.

Before Flynn could take the initiative to attack, the Empire was willing to take the initiative to attack Flynn!

Flynn expected this.

After all, the Empire had suffered an epic defeat at the Maginot Line.

The empire would certainly not be able to swallow such a disastrous defeat.

Regardless of whether there is a proclaimed emperor or not, a military attack from the empire will come sooner or later.

Flynn was already prepared for another battle with the Empire.

But Flynn definitely doesn't want it to be now.

Because now Flynn hopes to devote all his energy to dealing with the devil.

The key is this Disaster Demon God brother, his strength is unknown.

Maybe the devil is just a showman,

Without the protection of the Demon God himself, 100,000 players can sweep across the Demon World.

While the God of Disaster was recuperating in seclusion, he directly destroyed his lair.

But given how powerful the Demon God has been shown before, it is actually more likely that the Demon God is invincible.

The Demon God's Lair is difficult to defeat even without the Demon God in charge.

He needs to devote all the fighting power of millions of brave men to be able to fight the Demon God resoundingly.

In short, if you want to concentrate your firepower on dealing with the disaster demon.

Flynn really didn't want to start an all-out war with the Empire at the same time.

At most, some small-scale conflicts can occur on the border.

But if it happens again, like the Battle of the Maginot Line, hundreds of thousands or millions of players need to be mobilized to continue the battle for ten days and a half, or even longer.

That Flynn can't stand it!

Not to mention Flynn couldn't stand it, even the players couldn't stand it.

Fighting at every turn for more than ten days and a half...or even more than a month?

They dig fortifications and confront each other again, which delays things for a long time.

It's easy to break up the players' hearts.

Again.

Players, don’t last long!

They are all quick shooters!

Flynn does not want to continue fighting a large-scale war with the Empire now.

But the empire may not think so.

Flynn first wiped out the Empire's 2 million-strong army in the Battle of the Maginot Line.

Then he got the dragon flag and declared himself king regardless of the empire.

Such various behaviors, in the eyes of the empire, are a complete disregard for the empire's authority and a slap in the face!

In order for the empire to maintain their current system of rule, they must maintain the authority of the empire.

An empire that has no country to fear and no one to fear, and an emperor who has been repeatedly slapped in the face, cannot continue to exist.

So the empire will be very annoyed.

Without adequate preparation, he rushed to organize an army to beat Flynn aggressively.

Flynn himself could understand the Empire's thinking.

The empire's current actions were originally within Flynn's expectation.

Flynn had long expected to fall. He was a country that had just defeated the Empire and now declared itself king without the approval of the Emperor.

Even if there is a treasure like the dragon flag sitting there, I am afraid it will still make the empire very unhappy.

Since the possibility of imperial intervention had been anticipated.

Flynn, of course, had already prepared corresponding means of dealing with it.

First of all, Flynn, through the increasingly powerful intelligence network in the empire, got the inside story: the empire's fighting spirit was not actually very strong.

Although the empire was angry, the empire was actually not ready for war.

After the tragic defeat at the Battle of the Maginot Line.

The empire is not very stable internally, and many internal military nobles are reluctant to stand out against the brave.

Even now, within the empire, even war or peace is still under discussion!

The Empire was not ready and did not want to rush into a full-scale war, which gave Flynn room to maneuver.

First, Flynn contacted many hostile forces outside the empire.

Among the civilized systems of the mainland, only the Iron Qiu Kingdom and a few surrounding countries dare to openly oppose the empire and are at war with the empire.

However, outside of civilized countries, there are many barbarian forces.

These barbarians don't care that your empire is invincible!

Through his network, Flynn contacted many leaders of barbarian forces.

There are probably more than 20 barbarian tribes interested in joining the group. Together, they have hundreds of thousands of barbarian soldiers and generals.

And as long as you give them money, they are willing to do anything.

Even if you just go with the empire!

The chiefs of these barbarians also dared to go.

Even going to war with the empire is considered an honor.

Besides, even without Flynn, these barbarians would invade from time to time.

Now that Flynn is a financial sponsor who provides gold coins and two wages for one job, the barbarians are very happy!

So after Flynn contacted them and gave them a considerable reward, hundreds of thousands of barbarians soon began to riot on the borders of the empire in all directions.
