Lord of War

The civil war in the Millennium Covenant Empire has reached an extremely critical moment.

Accompanied by the layout of the man sitting on the pure white throne, the huge chess game with the entire Millennium Covenant Empire as the chessboard finally came to a decisive moment.

In fact, if it hadn’t been for some indirect interference caused by Xiao En that caused the Star Tower to be paralyzed and has not been fully recovered, this battle has long been under the arrangement of the most bloody and domineering emperor in the history of the Millennium Covenant Empire. It has been completely resolved, so there is no need for the former veteran Duke Perseus Joanton to personally take action.

But just like everything has advantages and disadvantages.

The paralysis of the Star Tower certainly gave the rebels a little breathing space, and even won a greater strategic depth, but it suppressed the military strength of the empire headquarters for a while. However, because of this accident, the emperor got more information about the rebellious party, and even some double-faced spies who had hidden deep before and the neutral nobles who had secretly defected to the old-style nobles were all uprooted. rise.

Except for the northern part of the empire, which was unable to carry out a thorough bloodbath due to the need to guard against the Emerian Empire, the eastern, western, and central parts of the empire were all directly subjected to the most fundamental bloodbath with thunderous power under the emperor's iron-blooded means. Purification is more overbearing and bloody than the bad blood plan secretly implemented by the Lane Kingdom—at least the Lane Kingdom knows how to find an excuse to cover it up, but the Millennium Covenant Empire doesn't even bother to find a fig leaf.

basically. As long as they are found to be suspected of treason, no matter how many people actually participated, they will all be wiped out. Many lurking nobles discovered that the new emperor was so cruel. Immediately, he left his family overnight, fearing that his family would be dragged down because of his private deception, but he did not expect that even if these traitors left, their family would still be completely wiped out by the new emperor's order.

In the east and west of the empire, hundreds of noble families have been removed from their names in the past year, and their territories have naturally been completely confiscated.

Although this policy did allow more nobles to flee to the south and join the camp of the rebels. But the same. But it also allowed the political power and imperial power of the Millennium Covenant Empire to be concentrated as never before, if it could survive the years of turmoil after the suppression of the rebellion. The entire Millennium Covenant Empire will usher in an extremely terrifying period of rapid development, and it is even very likely that within five years, the overall strength of the empire will once again rank first among the seven empires of the Miracle Continent.

You know, behemoths like the Seven Empires. Due to various reasons, the overall strength of the empire has fallen into a bottleneck state, and it is simply unable to move forward again. It can continue to maintain the situation of the empire that has formed a tacit agreement and rules among all parties, and even prevent the empire from weakening and being surpassed by other kingdoms. , this is already a very difficult thing.

Of course, there is no solution,

But in practice, it is not an easy task to operate.

At least the emperors of the other six empires are not as bold as the new emperor of the Millennium Covenant Empire, and they do not hesitate to use the premise of depleting the empire's national power. It is also necessary to completely eliminate the old interest groups and cancers within the empire, so that the entire Millennium Covenant Empire will be rejuvenated with more vigorous vitality, and once again enter a high-speed development momentum.

now. The situation of the entire empire has been regained control by it, and a complete victory is within easy reach.

Whenever he thinks that such an arbitrary decision of his own will keep the entire Millennium Covenant Empire in a leading position for hundreds of years in the future, and his achievements are not inferior to the founding emperor of the Millennium Covenant Empire, the corners of Budris' mouth will rise slightly . As for the consequences of the failure of this decision, it is impossible to appear in Budris' life dictionary, at least he does not think he will fail.

Budris Dern. He is the biological elder brother of Angel Sirris, who has the same father and mother in the direct blood line, and is also the new emperor of the Millennium Covenant Empire who ascended the Pure White Throne after launching the royal bloody case. His brutality, violence, and blood. Not only is it widely circulated in the Millennium Covenant Empire, but the entire southern part of the Miraculous Continent has also heard about it, and even regions farther away have more or less understanding of it.

After this bloody tyrant ascended the throne, the Emerian Empire adjusted its focus from the north to the south for a while, in order to prevent the emperor from suddenly going crazy and launching a war against the Emerian Empire—two major Although there are several principalities and small countries in the middle of the empire, in fact, no one knows that these small countries are not even buffer zones. It is not an exaggeration to say that the two empires live next to each other.

It's just that after the civil strife broke out in the Millennium Covenant Empire, the Emeria Empire shifted its focus back to the outer land - it's not that the Emeria Empire didn't want to take advantage of the fire, it was really powerless. Because the military system in the northern part of the Millennium Covenant Empire has remained intact, it still has the power to fight against the Emeria Empire. If the Emeria Empire wants to take advantage of the fire, but there is no way to quickly solve the northern military power of the Millennium Covenant Empire, So once the elves, dwarves, and orcs in the outback launch an attack, the Emerian Empire will suffer heavy losses.

So after weighing the two phases, the Emerian Empire gave up the idea of ​​taking advantage of the fire.

But what few outsiders know is that all of this is actually under the control of Budris, or that he prefers to take advantage of the Emerian Empire to loot it.

Budris sat on a white high-backed chair, with the elbow of his left hand resting on the armrest of the chair, and his index and middle fingers touching his temples lightly. Many generals on both sides are quarreling fiercely. He knew that the civil strife would soon come to an end, and even the poisonous snake that he had been scrutinizing for a long time, the Marquis of the Demon Snake, Antas, would soon be completely resolved.

Although the intelligence department of the empire fell into a trough for a long time when it lost Diers, but after Budris appointed a new intelligence minister, this terrifying organization was once again operating efficiently, and in this case Played a very important role in the civil strife of the empire. in. Including the news that Antas, the Marquis of the Magic Snake, had contacted the rebel party and secretly funded the rebel party, which he had thoroughly grasped a long time ago, but Budris believed that in order to solve the poisonous snake under the circumstances at that time, he needed to pay Great price. That's why he used appeasement methods to stabilize the poisonous snake, and even expressed his trust in Antas in many public occasions.

But as the plan to rectify the empire came to an end, Budris finally made up his mind to eradicate this poisonous snake.

At this time, the quarrel between the powerful nobles on both sides of the pure white holy table and the powerful soldiers of the empire was nothing more than the final location of the decisive battle.

In the entire southern battlefield of the empire, although Budris gave Pusus Joanton Duke extremely high autonomy, in fact, he made a double-guaranteed arrangement from the very beginning. If Purseus Joanton's progress is not smooth. Then Budris will let the Dark Mantle Legion directly under him launch follow-up actions to completely end this protracted civil strife.

So at the moment. In this pure white military hall that has always been chosen to decide the highest military action, the dispute between the two sides is whether to use the dark curtain army.

It is the powerful general of the Imperial Army who advocates the immediate dispatch of the Dark Curtain Army. They are basically veteran veterans who have been famous for a long time, whether it is strategy, tactics or even logistics and many other conventional military issues. They all have their own set of codes of conduct, but the only thing they have in common is that these people all believe in the truth that soldiers are precious and fast. Since dispatching the Dark Mantle Legion can shorten the battle to within a month, in order to avoid the delay of the war caused by the accident of the Star Tower being paralyzed last time, it is understandable to have a quick victory now.

On the other hand, the opposing party is the emerging nobleman who was conferred after Budris ascended the throne. They may be rebellious, may be aloof, or may have other unknown ambitions, but without exception, they are all real powerful figures, so for them, keep the cards in their hands. The benefits of having a hand are far greater than turning over the cards. Anyway, victory is already within reach, even if it takes a month or two at night, it doesn't matter.

The debate between the two sides is naturally not a dispute of emotions, but a truly well-founded debate. It's a pity that both sides of the dispute are not mediocre, and therefore no one can persuade the other, which makes the dispute situation noisy.

However, besides the man on the pure white throne, there was one person present who did not speak.

This is a middle-aged man who is about forty years old, and he does not have any aura of a strong man. On the contrary, it looks calm like a calm lake. But even so, this middle-aged man gave off a strange feeling as deep as an abyss. Even if he just sat here quietly, it was still impossible to ignore the existence of this middle-aged man.

This person is *Cass Hantinier, the Duke of Dondeen of the Millennium Covenant Empire, who is also ranked fourth among the ten generals.

In the Millennium Covenant Empire, there are a total of four Dukes of Sidon, each with the prefixes of East, South, West, and North.

Deen is the surname of the royal family of the Millennium Covenant Empire. The four duchies divided by this surname are naturally rich in resources and fertile. Therefore, in the Millennium Covenant Empire, the dukes of the entrusted territories, even the dukes of real power and strength are nothing, and it is these four dukes who have made countless nobles scramble to climb the peak. Therefore, "Duke Dern" in the Millennium Covenant Empire also has other meanings such as "bastion", "guardian" and so on.

Cass Hantinier, one of the ten generals, is the Duke of East Dern. His territory is located in a vast and rich land in the east of the empire. This land is especially famous for its fertile land, so it is particularly rich in excellent military horses. Almost two-thirds of the military horses used by the cavalry and knights in the entire Millennium Covenant Empire are produced by the East German.

Today, two of the four Dukes of the Millennium Covenant Empire have been conferred, namely East Deen and North Deen.

Both dukes had their inherent missions. Any noble who accepts the East German Land as a fief must be responsible for defending against a dead canyon next to the land of black soil—when the previous death tide of the Millennium Covenant Empire erupts, the monsters in this dead canyon will follow and launch a wave of monsters. If it were allowed to merge with the Death Tide army in the Land of Black Soil and the Forest of Sighs, it would definitely be a huge disaster for the Millennium Covenant Empire.

So this is why the last three dead tides erupted in the Land of the Black Earth and the Forest of Sighs. The reasons are all resolved by the Duke of Purseus.

If there were no accidents, after this rebellion was suppressed, Purseus Joanton would take over as the leader of Nandem. Become the Duke of Nandeln. At that time, if the next heir of the Joanton family can pass a series of related tests, he can continue to succeed the Duke of Nandeln, otherwise he will have to move out of the Nandeln Territory and the royal family will reassign a territory.

As for the Duke of North Dern, he needs to be responsible for resisting the threat of the Emerian Empire.

At present, the only one who has not heard any news is Sid Enling, who has been vacant for a hundred years.

"Duke of East Dern. What's your opinion on this matter?" Budris asked slowly.

Following Budris, the tyrant's opening, the debate in the Pure White Military Council soon stopped. In an instant, the entire military council hall fell into silence, as if some powerful magician cast a barrier of silence here. Whether it was the powerful generals or the powerful nobles, everyone's eyes were on the Duke of East Ende. * Cass Hantinier's body.

"I believe in the abilities of the Duke of North Dern and Lord Purseus." *Cass said lightly.

In just one sentence, the Duke of East Dern's position has already been stated: he prefers to hide the Dark Mantle Legion.

Although not using the Dark Mantle Legion would delay the battle for two more months, Budris seemed noncommittal. After all, now that the rebel party in the empire's civil strife is gone, he can still wait for two months, and he can just take advantage of these two months to arrange the next series of matters related to the recovery of the territory, so as to ensure that there will be no After the civil strife was completely suppressed, a vacuum appeared in the power structure within the empire.

But at this moment. A soaring aura suddenly emerged.

Even here in the military council hall, there was a momentary sense of shock in this space, as if there was a strong dead air permeating the air. But it was only a blink of an eye. This dead air has disappeared without a trace, as if the situation just now was just an illusion.

But the faces of countless people present were extremely ugly.

This fully shows that everything just now was not an illusion!

Budris turned his head slightly, and saw a blue-haired man wearing a heavy armor that obviously did not belong to this era standing beside his chair, although his eyes were covered by a white cloth. But at this moment, the aura emanating from the blue-haired man was extraordinarily cold and terrifying, and the aura emanating from him was only the aura he subconsciously leaked out. It wasn't that he sent it out on purpose.

This is a super strong man!

"Augustus, what's going on?" Budris asked in a deep voice.

He knew that his personal bodyguard would not show up easily, so in fact, not many people knew about the existence of Augustus, and Cass could be counted as one, and only his confidantes knew about Augustus. The existence of Gustus. So when Augustus appeared in front of everyone so suddenly, Budris felt extremely surprised in his heart. This must be a manifestation of something major.

"The gate of foreign lands has been opened." Augustus's voice was very low, "judging from the breath just now, it should be the gate of bones... It's right there, the forest of sighs. And from just now, it's been There is a fighting atmosphere belonging to the strong that has been spreading, and there should be at least eight legendary and above strong men fighting, and four of them are even super strong."

Hearing this, the entire Pure White Army Council Hall exploded with a bang.

The four superpowers went deep into the empire to start a confrontation, but they didn't receive any news! You know, just the battle of legendary strongmen may destroy a city with a population of 100,000. The battle of these superpowers can easily turn hundreds of miles into a dead zone, although the battle area is located in Sighing over the forest, but this is also the territory of the empire after all!

"Let the Dark Mantle Corps attack, and the Shadow Troops are on standby!" *Cass stopped hesitating immediately, stood up and said, "No matter what the cause is, since the Gate of Bones has been opened at the Forest of Sighs, the first to bear the brunt is our Millennium The Covenant Empire... If we want to reorganize our military equipment to deal with the army of bones, we must end the civil strife in the shortest possible time....Besides, whenever there is a change in the Forest of Sighs, the Death Valley canyon The tide of Warcraft should not be too far away."

Budris's face looked unusually ugly.

Two consecutive battles to suppress the rebel army, seeing the most critical final stage, but always being disrupted by sudden events, this is undoubtedly very depressing and irritating. What is especially serious is the impact and impact on the morale and morale of the army, so no matter what the consideration is, Budris has to agree with *Kass' opinion at this moment.

"Duke Dongdeen, I will leave this matter to you." Budris nodded slowly, and said in a deep voice, "I will immediately dispatch a troop to investigate in the Forest of Sighs, and at the same time mobilize the Imperial Army to do a good job. All preparations for war...Augustus, I would like to trouble you to go and see what's going on."

"Follow your order, my king." Augustus said in a deep voice, and as he bowed and saluted, his figure gradually faded in front of everyone, until he disappeared. (to be continued)
