The city of Idar in winter looks no different from the past, but both the civilians in the city and the merchants coming and going seem to be able to detect a hint of unrest in the cold wind.

The clouds on the horizon obscured the warm sunshine at noon in winter, and the slightly gloomy sky also cast a vague haze in the hearts of many Idar people.

Defense Minister Sarah Coren's proposal was finally recognized by the vast majority of senior officials attending the meeting, and was also accepted by Bruno Stuart, the ruler of the Idar Empire.

Frankly speaking,

Although "convincing people with reason and taking core as the most important" has always been Bruno's goal, he has never been afraid of war.

The reason why the Idar Empire has its current status and influence is because of Bruno's leadership!

What's more, the existence of the wonder construction system provides Bruno with unparalleled confidence!

If you want to become a god, I'm not sure who will win or who will lose!

In one sentence, it’s done!

As long as the Church of Light is destroyed and all factors of instability are eliminated, the Idar people can calm down and pursue development with peace of mind.

certainly,

This does not mean that Idar's army will draw their swords and charge now, nor does it mean that Bruno decides to go to war immediately.

Although Bruno has acquiesced to the plan proposed by Sarah Coren and has asked officials at all levels to begin preparations for war, he still needs to wait.

He is waiting for a suitable opportunity, waiting for the Idar army and administrative agencies at all levels, including the Government Affairs Council, to make more complete preparations and plans.

After all, today's Idar Empire is no longer as poor as it was in the past.

Any decision made by Bruno and Idar's decision-makers must be responsible to all Idar people and must be worthy of the millions of Idar people living on this land.

Although secretly, led by Bruno himself, various administrative agencies in Idar have begun preparations for war, at least on the surface, the administrative agencies at all levels of the empire are still functioning normally, and no changes can be seen.

As an important mouthpiece that Bruno relied on, "Daily Idar" also appropriately grasped Bruno's ideas and made appropriate responses.

With the mutual support of Merlin News Agency and relevant departments, news about the Kingdom of Cecil appeared and disappeared, and the possibility of the war spreading to the mainland of Idar was also controlled just right.

In short, the message that "Idar Daily" wants to convey is gradually penetrating into the hearts of every Idar person - war may break out, but as long as the Idar people can work together, they will be able to win this war.

In addition to the wars taking place in the western part of the continent, the establishment of the Moor River Province is also tugging at the heartstrings of the Idar people.

The Idar Immigration Administration, with the assistance of the Idar military, is counting the population that was incorporated into the Idar Empire along with the Mole River Province.

The newly established Moore River Provincial Government Affairs Office is also operating at a rapid pace, and public officials are performing their duties.

And when officials at all levels in Idar were promoted and took up new posts, Bruno did not treat Viscount Conte badly, who had treated him well in the past.

In the end, this middle-aged aristocrat failed to achieve his goal of going to Merin District to make money in the stock market. He was appointed by Bruno as the Director of the Department of Noble Affairs and also served as an alternate member of the Idar House of Lords.

In a sense, after joining the Idar Empire, the Viscount even had a more long-term and optimistic political future than before.

…

Cecil Embassy.

As Cecil’s ambassador to Iraq, Viscount Danielsson has been looking gloomy for several days in a row.

He did meet with His Majesty Bruno Stuart, Emperor of Idar, and received comfort from the young king, but... he did not get a positive answer from Bruno.

In fact, this is not difficult to understand, because no matter which force is involved, it must be carefully considered before making any decision.

But Viscount Danielsson had to look forward to the Idar Empire's decision, and was always worried about the changes that would happen in the western part of the continent.

Cecil's army, which possesses Idar's second-hand weapons, is actually retreating steadily under the attack of the Sidonian army!

If the noble Cecil who was responsible for contacting Viscount Danielson was not a guy who liked to exaggerate, Viscount Danielson would definitely question the authenticity of the intelligence coming from the western part of the continent!

"Is the Sidonian army a bloodbath? Are they crazy?!"

Grasping the latest news from the Kingdom of Cecil, Viscount Danielson frowned and muttered to himself rather depressedly.

This Idar slang actually comes from the southern hills of the Idar province.

There is the earliest footbath chicken breeding farm in the Idar Empire, and there is no doubt that the chickens jumping around left a deep impression on the breeders.

Idar City is still prosperous and healthy, and the streets not far away are full of people.

Viscount Danielson was thinking about the life and death of the Kingdom of Cecil, and he was worried about his people and children far away in the western part of the continent. But...at this moment, what he saw in front of him was the life of the Idar people.

.

Stability, peace, prosperity, prosperity.

The cold wind of winter kept this old nobleman rare awake. He lowered his head and held an unfolded letter in his hand.

"Be patient and don't be impatient."

This short sentence left a glimmer of hope in the heart of Viscount Danielsson, and also allowed the Cecil Kingdom, far in the west of the continent, to retain its expectations for reinforcements, allowing the Cecil army to grit their teeth and hold on.

Because in the lower right corner of the letter, a special name seemed to represent the stance of the Idar royal family - Queen Idar, Leia Blood.

…

Leia's letter was naturally due to Bruno's instruction.

Because he really didn't trust the combat capabilities of Cecil's army. If he couldn't leave a glimmer of hope for those old-fashioned and conservative nobles, they might not be able to survive the day when Idar's army officially sent out troops.

but……

As messages from the western part of the continent were delivered one by one to the desk in front of Bruno... even this young monarch who ruled this huge empire felt a sense of urgency and pressure.

The Sidonian army advanced so fast that they even approached the capital of the Kingdom of Cecil!

During this process, countless Cecil people were plundered, and the wanton slaughter of the Sidonian army made people deeply resentful!

And at the same time,

Under the pressure of the sale of indulgences and high taxes, more and more civilians were trapped by homeless refugees, turning the originally relatively prosperous western part of the continent into a mess.

At a temporary emergency meeting, Bruno stood in front of many Idar officials and stated his opinion: "We can't wait any longer. If we wait any longer, the Cecil people may not be able to hold on!"

then,

In the eyes of everyone, he said very firmly:

"Since other forces can't do it...then it's up to the Idar people to change the future of this continent!"

"clear!"

…

January 14, 540, New Calendar, Idar Parliament Building.

On the morning of the same day, under the initiative of Member of the House of Commons Clea Finch, the Idar House of Commons voted overwhelmingly to formally pass the "Cecil Human Rights Watch Draft", the "Investigation Report on the Western War" and the "National War Initiative"

》.

Among them, the "National War Initiative" that was finally passed also received the support of all members of the House of Lords. Gu

And this result undoubtedly made Viscount Danielsson breathe a little sigh of relief.

Because Ambassador Cecil knew very well that the passage of this proposal in the House of Commons meant that a large number of Idar civilians had made a spontaneous decision to participate in this war.

These congressmen who were born as common people sympathize with the suffering that the Cecil people are going through, and they are even more disgusted with the conspiracy of the Church of Light from the bottom of their hearts.

So... they naturally hope that the glory of the Idar Empire can shine on the entire continent!

As for the stance of the members of the House of Lords, it means the attitude of the nobles and businessmen!

These new nobles of the Idar Empire are not just Bruno's mouthpiece in the parliament, they also represent the expectations of the powerful Idar!

Because only by completely quelling the chaos on the mainland, the industry and commerce of the Idar Principality will develop at an unprecedented rate, and their status and wealth will be improved with the expansion of the Idar Empire's territory.

then,

Regardless of nobles or commoners, merchants or students,

Under the guidance of Bruno intentionally or unintentionally, and perhaps also affected by the buff bonus brought by the wonder construction system, the Idar people's views on participating in this war were surprisingly unanimous!

Again, just do it!

The next day was January 15, 540 in the New Calendar.

Emperor Bruno Stuart of Idar personally went to the Parliament Building of Idar, listened to the opinions and suggestions from the parliamentarians, and took away the war draft initiated by the House of Commons.

That afternoon,

With the authorization of Idar Palace,

The Idar Government Council and the Idar Ministry of Defense jointly issued a war warning and declared a state of emergency throughout the Idar Empire.

The three major border provinces of the Idar Empire, including the Central Province, the Mole River Province and the Valens Province, have directly entered a wartime state!

It was at this moment that the huge state machine of the Idar Empire began to operate in all directions.

In previous wars, the Idar people could rely on their weapons and equipment that spanned the ages to complete the crushing while retaining their strength.

But this time...

In Bruno's eyes, this is a decisive battle! It is an all-out war related to the future of the Idar Empire!

After this battle, only one of the two forces, the Idar Empire and the Church of Light, can continue to exist!

so……
To be continued...
