Fire Moon 8, 795 New Calendar, Frey Empire, Redcar.

The atmosphere during the day seems to be as serious and stable as ever. No matter how colorful the night here is, the residents during the day are still quiet and peaceful. They tend to vent their accumulated uneasiness or depression and other negative emotions at night, and

Put positive emotions such as diligence and lawfulness into the daytime. From ordinary city residents to ministers in the palace, everyone abides by the work they should do and contributes their best to their home and city-state.

share of strength.

Of course, most of them knew that their team was fighting outside.

Most of the soldiers and civilians across the empire have a non-committal attitude towards the war. This is not caused by their pity or indifference towards the other party, but because of their trust in their own legion. Since the establishment of the Fleur Empire, there have been great battles.

Countless times, but rarely at a disadvantage. No matter what the initial cause of those wars is, in the end it is usually resolved by the empire on the side of the victorious country as the victor. And since the founding of the country a thousand years ago

, various nearby regional forces have come and gone countless times in history, but the empire has always stood firm. This is not only related to their natural admiration of force, but also because of the strong self-confidence and military power brought by unlimited victory over thousands of years. Therefore,

Every time a conflict or battle breaks out, most of the soldiers and civilians across the empire have the attitude of fighting first. Even if their side is not just, they will discuss it after the fight is over.

The same is true for the war with the principality, and it may even have always been like this - as the only two remaining major forces in the free world, the war between the empire and the principality has appeared countless times in the past history. I will not list them one by one.

The final result of the great battle, just looking at the changing status relationship between the Empire and the Principality in these years, is enough to prove the strength of the Empire over the Principality. When the citizens of the Empire walking on the street saw businessmen from the Principality, they even greeted the merchants.

They are all mixed with condescending elements, not to mention the strong attitude that some officials and soldiers who hold the power of the empire can't help but show when they see people from the principality. As the military minister of a certain generation of the empire said: "We don't need to show off to the people in the principality."

No one should bow his head, because no one can have the face to bow to us after being defeated by us."

But Redcar today seems to have a touch of impetuous air.

The air first came from the palace. It was said that the young lion emperor broke his most beloved glass, and then drove out the male and female attendants and guards around him. After that, an emergency meeting was heard in the palace.

According to the news, the Royal Guards responsible for protecting the security of the capital were also mobilized, secretly strictly controlling access to every corner of the empire. As time went by, the officials at all levels of the empire who came and went became more and more...

There are more and more. Some keen citizens, such as vendors and major associations, have smelled some unusual meanings, and many forces operating secretly have even obtained first-hand information from certain channels.

.

Unlike the ignorance of ordinary city residents, they received first-hand information about the battle reports from the front lines of the empire.

The citizens of Redcar may still think that the emperor is in a bad mood today, but they know it - because of the intervention of certain people, the empire has suffered another defeat in the past ten years, regardless of the final outcome of this defeat.

What was the reason? After all, it was a defeat that the emperor could not accept. Unlike countless other people who saw the result in their eyes, as the ruler of the empire and a young lion, Drenier was obviously not because of any glass.

He was angry because the cup was broken. He was shocked that the frontline troops were defeated by a mere mage and crushed the cup.

"I think you all already know the general story of what happened."

It is still a gorgeous palace, but at this time, the decorations of various gems and steps in the hall are slightly inferior due to the brightness of the day. The ministers who hurried over due to the urgent summons have not yet wiped away the beads of sweat on their foreheads.

After wiping off, he broke into a cold sweat because of the news exposed by the emperor.

"What is your evaluation of...the Mage Council's proposal?"

"This is our failure."

Several ministers in the seats were silent for a long time. Finally, the white military marshal took the lead and stood up: "The empire... has not suffered such a defeat for a long time. As the highest officer, I can hardly

Accept the blame."

The Lion Emperor waved his hand vigorously, and Marshal Reid had to sit back slowly, but the old face seemed to have become older, and the dazzling white seemed to have lost its original luster.

"Bernard's guilt does not need further evaluation." The emperor's voice was still strong and deep: "What I want from you is...how to treat the woman waiting in Zaraha City."

"Of course I'll drive her back!"

The fat Minister of Finance, Pamuir, was still as excited as ever: "The Empire never accepts this kind of negotiation! If you want us to bow to the Principality, let us speak with swords and guns on the battlefield!"

The minister with parted hair waved his fists and his voice was equally impassioned. But after only two seconds, he slowly sat back because the man sitting in the emperor's seat in the center was staring at him with squinted eyes.

look.

"...Susas."

"His Majesty."

"what is your opinion?"

"... I don't know." The young man paused, and then continued: "I only know... I will send the information to you intact."

"snort!"

Although the dull snort was brief, it echoed in the corners of the palace, giving everyone who heard it a feeling of suffocation. But the next moment, that feeling disappeared, because the emperor had turned his attention to another person.

direction.

"Caldera, come here."

"I believe that... someone should be sent to the meeting."

"you!"

The Finance Minister was about to stand up with his barely visible neck, but was interrupted by a young man on the other side: "I agree too."

"Oh?" The lion set his sights on the pale young man: "Simon, this time...what do you know?"

"I will never know as much as your Majesty." Simon, who still kept a smile on his face, first gave the emperor a respectful courtesy, and then continued to echo the prime minister's previous words: "But from what we have

Judging from the current information, there is no harm in talking to the representatives of the seven-member parliament..."

The emperor did not answer, but continued to look at him with a dull look.

"...Okay." The pale man shrugged indifferently: "I...I really don't know what that woman wants to do, but...I know...

, she must have information that I didn’t have before.”

"It's my information." Simon repeated: "It's not Susas's."

The emperor's eyes opened.

"The Council of Mages has never made such a move." Simon replied calmly: "So I believe that she...or they must have a reason to do this."

"Why don't we hear their reasoning...or justification?"

****************

"Hey, hey, hey...what do you want to do, can you explain it first!"

"There's no time to explain, just follow us first...it's really heavy..."

"It's time for you to lose weight."

"The laborer himself weighs two hundred kilograms, and this armor weighs more than one hundred kilograms. It's strange that it doesn't sink... Hey, hey, you are abusing the wounded!"

"Okay, brother, stay calm. Art, watch him and don't let him move... How do you use this thing?"

"Just stick the sword in."

"...Why doesn't it work? Is my sword too short?"

"...Let me do it."

"..."

"Why no response?"

"So which way did you twist last time..."

"left."

"Then twist it to the right..."

Next to the huge square pit, Nan Tieshan was lying on the ground. He looked at Duan Qing and Xue Ling Huan Bing with some amusement. They were guarding the wall and studying mysteriously, just like two people who were studying.

A student who studies certain taboo matters.

"Any reaction?"

"...I didn't hear anything."

"Did I guess wrong again?"

"Maybe there was a malfunction elsewhere." The woman in the black cloak shook her head: "Maybe it was because of the previous battle..."

"It's really uncomfortable not having a mage. I want to recruit a mage when I go back. Although it's really not good if anyone in our broken guild can take notice... Hey, hey, don't move yet, let me

Feel it."

"...You can feel anything, and you don't know magic."

"How do you know that I can't... No, how do you know that people who don't know magic can't feel it?" Duan Qing said angrily: "Give me a chance first and let me try...

..”

"Me you two!"

The big man lying on the side still unable to move couldn't help shouting: "What on earth are you doing..."

call!

A gust of swaying wind suddenly blew past him - in front of everyone's eyes, the platform that had previously soared into the darkness passed by them at extremely fast speeds with the sound of wind, and then sank directly to the bottom of the huge pit.

.

"...It went down!"

After a period of silence, several people shouted.
