Volume 5 The Fall of the Empire Chapter 123 The conflict between the two empires
However, when Runaxiu's reputation was at its peak and no one in the Yiler Principality could rival him, the Helan Empire suddenly launched a counterattack.
However, the Helan Empire's counterattack was not to send troops to encircle and suppress the Black Knights, but to announce Luna Xiu's identity as the eleventh princess of the Helan Empire, which caused an uproar among countless people, even within the Black Knights.
Of course, if that's all, Runa Xiu only needs to make a declaration in public to stabilize people's hearts. After all, her identity is not really a secret. Most of the top leaders of the Black Knights know it, and the rest have also heard about it. Only the middle class has heard about it.
The people at the lower level just don’t know.
But just after announcing that Runashu was the eleventh princess of the empire, the Helan Empire stated that Runashu was the son of disaster, destined to bring destruction and destruction, and was the enemy of mankind and the devil!
Demon King, what a fantasy title. When people hear this statement, their first thought is that it is ridiculous.
But the Helan Empire kept repeating that this was true, and even produced a lot of evidence to prove that Runashu was indeed the Demon King. For example, they claimed that the mysterious masters around Runashu were not human beings, but were human beings.
The mortal enemy of the devil.
As a result, many people believed him, and they couldn't help but be frightened of Runashu, and even some discordant voices emerged within the Black Knights.
But how could Lunaxiu just sit and wait for death? Although the Helan Empire was surprised to know about the devil and her, she was not without a way to deal with it. Since the Helan Empire made unfavorable remarks about her everywhere, then she would add another
Turn on the fire and completely muddy the waters.
So, Runaxiu ordered people to follow the Helan Empire and make remarks that were unfavorable to her. However, these remarks were so bizarre that people were speechless after hearing them.
Some people say that Runashu is not only the son of the Demon King, but that all of his subordinates are also big demons.
Some people say that Runa Xiu likes to eat people and can eat thousands of people in one bite without spitting out their bones.
Some people say that Luna has cultivated countless male favorites, doting on them 24 hours a day, and not even caring about political affairs.
Some people say that Runa Xiu doesn't even need to use his hands to fight, as a spittle can turn into a flood and wash away all the enemies.
There are many similar rumors, each of which is extremely exaggerated. After the people heard it, they couldn't help but discuss it, and finally the truth was covered up. After people discussed it for a long time, they found that these remarks were so false, and even the Helan Empire was
The news spread was also regarded as lies. The Helan Empire saw that it was unable to deal with the Black Knights, so it released the news to slander Runashu.
Although if you tell too many lies, they will become the truth. But if you tell too many lies, no matter how many times you tell them, they will only be regarded as a joke. For example, if a country on earth said that their rocket hit the sun, this would
Would anyone believe such nonsense?
After the Helan Empire found out, it felt particularly speechless and depressed. What kind of idiots were spreading exaggerated rumors? Isn't this adding chaos?
Immediately, the Helan Empire's offensive of criticism was defused. The Black Knights regarded all the rumors as the Helan Empire slandering Runa Xiu. Not only were there no unsettled people, but the centripetal force was stronger and they were more united.
In this way, the Helan Empire actually helped Luna Xiu. The entire Black Knights became extremely united and their morale was extremely strong.
Seeing that the internal situation was stable, Runaxiu breathed a sigh of relief. It would have been a long night and many dreams. She immediately took advantage of the high morale to launch a war to unify the Principality of Iler. Neither other rebels nor the official army of the Principality of Iler could do anything.
Resist the advances of the Black Knights.
In just one month, more than 80% of the territory of the Principality of Iler has been brought under the jurisdiction of the Black Knights, and the remaining ones are difficult to resist. Most people have the intention to surrender. Even if the leader is not willing, their subordinates will react.
I was thinking about it, and I was wondering whether I should play a trick of seeking glory as a seller.
Runaxiu knew all this very well, and Eden City, the capital of the Principality of Iler, had already been captured, so she was not in a hurry. She immediately slowed down the offensive and turned to consolidate the existing territory and prepare to digest the existing territory.
Then continue to expand.
The demon turmoil between the Black Knights and Runa Xiu has temporarily subsided, but the impact on the outside world is not small. After all, the existence of the Black Knights and Runa Xiu is a slap in the face of the Helan Empire, and the expansion of the Black Knights
It is more like a continuous slap in the face of the Helan Empire, an impact and trample on the Helan Empire's hegemony.
For the Helan Empire, which was founded by force, this kind of thing is difficult to accept. Almost everyone in the country is resounding with a unified voice, which is to go to the Principality of Yiler and suppress the Black Knights with iron blood to defend the majesty of the empire.
But what is difficult to understand is that as the supreme commander of the empire, Charles VIII did not express any position on this, as if he was letting the Black Knights and Runa Xiu go.
This made the whole Helan Empire very dissatisfied. Every day, countless petitions were sent to Charles VIII, hoping to go to the Helan Empire to suppress the rebels.
It was just that Charles VIII always maintained a silent attitude, which made his subordinates more and more dissatisfied. It was not until the royal knights were about to riot that he came forward and said a word, and this sentence immediately silenced the army.
"Do you really think Liu Feng and the Xia Yue Empire will let us deal with the Yile Principality?"
The grievances between Liu Feng and the Helan Empire are well known, and the Xia Yue Empire fully supports Liu Feng. As a result, the two empires are now at odds with each other. The border area is like a barrel of dynamite. A slight mistake may trigger a war between the two countries.
Moreover, this time the war will definitely not be a local war like the Red Moon War, but a big war that will sweep the two empires. By then, not only the two empires, but also the affiliated countries of the two countries will be involved.
.
If Liu Feng really wants to help Luna repair it, it will most likely trigger an all-out war between the two empires. After all, judging from the Xia Yue Empire's attitude of protecting Liu Feng, the Xia Yue Empire will definitely join the war.
Most people shudder when they think of the outcome of an all-out war between the two empires. Even those who are warlike have to admit that this will not be of any benefit to the Helan Empire.
In fact, many people know this kind of thing, but they just don't want to think about it. Moreover, the atmosphere in the military is too hot. If you sing the opposite, you will definitely be boycotted.
Therefore, during this period, those smart people chose to remain silent. It was not until Charles III made his remarks that they jumped out to dissuade the people around him and his subordinates, which finally eased the frenzied atmosphere for war.
But just because the atmosphere of the war has eased, it doesn't mean it will end. Those angry emperors all turned their attention to the Xia Yue Empire and clamored to ask the Xia Yue Empire to hand over Liu Feng.
Recently, all forces have been focusing on the Qingfeng Plain. Liu Feng's return cannot be concealed. Previously, the Xia Yue Empire used the excuse that Liu Feng did not return, so it has been practicing Tai Chi. Now that Liu Feng has returned, Tai Chi is naturally difficult to fight.
.
However, the reason why the Xia Yue Empire played Tai Chi before was because Liu Feng was away. They were a little worried that Liu Feng would never come back, so they used diplomatic means to deal with it. But now that Liu Feng has come back, they still need to continue fighting.
Tai Chi?
With the support of the Nine-Star Saint Soul, does the Xia Yue Empire need to be polite in front of the Helan Empire?
Therefore, in the face of the Helan Empire's request to hand over Liu Feng, the Xiayue Empire changed its previous Tai Chi attitude and became extremely tough. Some of the twelve generals even directly said that they should shut up or start a war.
, if you want Liu Feng, you have the guts to come over and rob him.
At this time, the Helan Empire was shocked. They really didn't expect that the Xia Yue Empire's attitude was so tough, and they broke up with each other as soon as they started. There was no hypocritical diplomatic posture that should be expected between countries.
Faced with this situation, the Helan Empire was at a loss. If it retreated, it would be a disgrace to the country, and if it pushed back, the conflicts would intensify, and it is likely to trigger a war. The Helan Empire, which had always been strong, was suddenly at a loss.
However, the Helan Empire is a big empire after all. It is impossible to really retreat just because of the words of the enemy country, otherwise problems may arise within the country. You know, the Helan Empire has many internal conflicts, but it is just because the strong relationship of the country has been covered up.
If the country is weak, these contradictions will be intensified, and there will be internal turmoil within the country without an attack from the enemy.
As a result, the Helan Empire responded with a tough stance, demanding that the Xiayue Empire hand over Liu Feng. The Xiayue Empire responded tit-for-tat, starting with the Helan Empire's mutual taunts. Relations between the civilians and the military of the two countries also deteriorated rapidly due to this incident.
.
However, no matter how fierce the fighting becomes, the two countries are trying to exercise restraint and have deployed many additional military judges in the border areas to prevent anyone from further escalating the conflict due to anger.
However, the contradiction between the two countries has indeed been intensified, and the conflict between the two empires has also stimulated the nerves of other countries and forces. Countless eyes have turned to the two countries, especially the affiliated countries of the two countries. Almost every country has lived a
A frightening day.
After all, if two major empires go to war, their affiliated countries will definitely participate in the war. For these small affiliated countries, a big war is likely to lead to the destruction of their own countries. Even if they survive in the end, they will definitely suffer heavy losses and their national strength will be greatly reduced.
What? You said that some countries can take advantage of the opportunity to rise?
There are indeed such countries, but such countries generally have nothing to do with the two empires. Affiliated countries are controlled by the two empires, and it is really difficult to rise in the war. Most of the time, they will become consumables and cannon fodder for the two empires.
In this conflict, countless people live in fear, while some people snicker secretly, while others are taking advantage of the fact that the world's attention is on the two empires to develop their own power.
This person is none other than Runathon, the leader of the Black Knights.
Although Runaxiu was expanding, she was still worried that the Helan Empire would send troops to encircle and suppress her. Especially after the demon incident was exposed, she became cautious about the use of demons. After all, if the demon incident was completely exposed,
If it does, it will definitely cause a group of attacks, and even those old monsters who are hiding in seclusion may emerge.
If that were the case, both the demon and Runashu himself would be in disaster.
When she thought of this, Runaxiu felt deeply grateful and said: "Fortunately, Liu Feng attracted the attention of the Helan Empire, otherwise it would not be easy for me to develop." After a pause, she narrowed her eyes, " When the time is right, we can add fuel to this conflict and let the two empires really fight. At that time, whether it is expansion or revenge, it will not be a problem..." (To be continued Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
