I'm a villain, not a devil

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! We really can't...we really can't hold on..."

The two speakers and six vice speakers of the National Assembly knelt in front of the emperor's bedroom, crying.

Except for Lan Youshan, who was resting at home after suffering a major blow, the other two speakers and the other vice speakers all came.

There was no way, they couldn't sit still.

Few of the military officials who used to be at odds with them were in the imperial capital. In the past, they would have been secretly happy to hold a big dinner, but now, they couldn't be happy at all.

It is said that politicians are fickle. The senior officials of the National Assembly have thought about the fall of the empire, but for them, changing someone's loyalty is not too embarrassing - it's better than being buried with the empire, right?

But now, the army raging in the country is not even human, but the tree people across the sea - they are not our kind, how can we surrender?

The Tree People have already killed their way to the deepest part of the country. In two days at most, they will be at the gates of the imperial capital. That damn Wu Xiao not only refused to resist, but also ordered the army to retreat. In all these days, there has not been an effective block.

The National Assembly sent people to the military to inquire, but the marshal with the word "Xiao" in his name directly blasted the people sent there. Someone who was scolding outside was shot in the head by Wu Xiao.

The military did not dare to ask, and what was even more terrible was that His Majesty could not get anything from him.

The country was about to fall, but His Majesty actually put all his thoughts on the construction of the statue of the founder!

They went to the palace to beg His Majesty repeatedly, but they saw that someone took away the resources of the royal treasury and piled them all on the construction site of the statue. Even the imperial treasury was closed. It was said to be closed, but who didn't know about the big noise?

Someone transported many resources from the imperial treasury to the construction site in the middle of the night!

And the damn new person in charge, Bai Ye, the princess secretly handed over the supervision power of the construction site to the second prince Bai Wen. Now, Bai Wen and his greedy mother, Grand Duke Yuantie, are openly snatching resources!

But His Majesty not only did not hold them accountable, but even acquiesced to all this. What's more terrible is that His Majesty also ordered people to go and urge the completion of the statue.

While Bai Wen and Grand Duke Yuantie were enriching themselves, they also summoned the residents of the empire. Each family had to provide two adult workers, working more than 18 hours a day, and the double shifts made everyone work day and night.

The statue was built, but the city had been in chaos for the past few days.

In addition, the approach of the tree army could no longer be concealed, and the residents in the city were extremely panicked. As a result, His Majesty actually sent out his Silent Ones, who were unwilling to use, to guard the city gate. Anyone who tried to escape from the imperial capital was tied up and sent to the construction site.

The imperial capital has completely lost its former appearance. If it continues like this, I am afraid that the tree army will collapse before they even reach the city.

However, the kneeling pleading of several speakers did not bring anything.

Palace Minister Covens hung his head: "His Majesty said that our imperial army is unparalleled in bravery. You gentlemen are really too worried - and the imperial capital has many garrisons. If the tree army really dares to advance to the city, it will not take long for them to be wiped out."

After saying this, Covens was about to leave. The leading speaker hurriedly shouted: "Lord Covens, can we meet His Majesty? The current situation is too tense..."

Covens interrupted him directly: "His Majesty said, it's okay."

After that, he left quickly, leaving only this group of speakers who used to be high and mighty sitting on the ground in despair.

The leading speaker's eyes dimmed, and he murmured: "Is my empire...really going to perish..."

...

"Tsk, it's worthy of being an empire. It directly mobilized all the national strength to build a statue. Such a big thing is almost reaching the top." Sean, who was standing on a high place, was amazed.

Standing next to him was Bai Ye, who had already handed over the supervision to the second prince. Her Highness had no intention of talking nonsense with Sean, who was watching the fun and not minding the trouble. Her beautiful eyebrows were tightly knitted together: "You don't care... But, according to the current trend, the empire is going to have a big problem..."

Sean pointed to the panicked and wailing crowd on the ground street, and said with great joy: "Your Highness is really carefree, this is not a big problem, right?"

Bai Ye said unhappily: "The empire is dead, and everything we agreed on before is automatically invalidated."

Sean spread his hands: "But I am a wanted criminal, I can't do anything? We went out of the city to see it that day, turtle, the tree people, so dense that my scalp numbs at a glance. In front of this number of tree people, even Crimson will be drowned . "

Bai Ye sighed and said, "The tree people have not encountered any obstacles along the way... Wu Xiao just kept asking people to retreat, but I don't know how he will deal with it."

Sean said, "Didn't you receive news that a large number of bombs in the armory were taken away? Their whereabouts are unknown."

Bai Ye said in a deep voice, "That's true, but the problem is that if Wu Xiao just wants to bury bombs on the tree people's advancement route, it's too naive - especially since the tree people can use their roots to go deep into the ground, they naturally have ways to detect, and the other party will lose some vanguard troops at most..."

"Wu Xiao shouldn't be so useless, he probably has a backup plan, but I'm not Wu Xiao's confidant, so it's not realistic to know these..."

Sean was talking, and suddenly, a shadow flashed.

The two turned their heads and saw the shadow appear in the original place.

Shenhong, Bai Ye's confidant, has not been doing well recently. His proliferation has grown to a point that cannot be ignored, and he can no longer come and go freely like before - but Shadow is also a ruthless person. In order to ensure that Her Royal Highness is well-informed, he took the initiative to reduce part of his proliferation in exchange for his previous flexibility.

However, this also caused Shadow to appear bloody recently. According to Bai Ye, he gets injured every time he shuttles through the shadows.

Before Shadow spoke, he saw Sean throw a bottle of healing medicine over.

After receiving the healing medicine, Shadow bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Highness Sean. However, I'm afraid you won't like the news I brought this time."

Sean and Bai Ye looked at each other subconsciously.

Shadow said, "The old butler Hansen, the confidant of His Royal Highness, found me. He couldn't find you, so he had to come to me."

Sean suddenly had a bad feeling. Old Hansen didn't disappear with Bai Youming. He didn't do anything except occasionally helping Sean. He suddenly came to me. I'm afraid it's Bai Youming's fault...
