All the audience were watching His Majesty Cohen's movements and trying to figure out his thoughts. However, His Majesty Cohen's hands remained on the table for a long time, neither taking them back nor pressing down. There was no expression on his face, at least nothing that could make him feel happy.
The expression on someone's mind peering into his state of mind... No one knows what is recorded in this document before it is opened, and what impact it will have on Cohen and his empire. But Cohen knows one thing, this document will
Emperor Si will not take it out for no reason.
Is it gratitude? Is it a bargaining chip? Or is it a frame-up? Cohen must make a correct judgment. Whether to take it or not, once his decision is made, it cannot be changed, and the subsequent results are even more unpredictable. It is difficult for ordinary people to imagine that a
The fate of the emperor and the fate of an empire may very well be decided and reversed in this breath.
Knowing that it was difficult for Cohen to make a decision at the moment, the first demon general showed a trace of anxiety unconsciously. This time the choice was different from the past. If it only involved ordinary affairs between her and Cohen, there would be room for redemption, but this scene before her
The Dark Lord is also paying attention. As long as Cohen makes a mistake, the Dark Lord will never let him go. Cohen is a divine emperor. There are many things that he cannot know and should not know, even if he does not intend to.
He occasionally revealed his desire to know, and this thought was also one of those that must be punished.
"This thing must be very precious to you." His Majesty Cohen slowly withdrew his hand, with an elusive smile on his face, and said to Emperor Wells: "I am a divine emperor, I really want to give it to you.
Me? You have thought about it."
"Yes, I have already thought about it." Emperor Wells replied calmly, "Right now, I have nothing to worry about."
"Since you are so insistent on giving it to me, I really can't shirk it!" His Majesty Cohen put his hands behind his back and paced against the edge of the long table, "Others say that people are about to die, but their words are good. Today I
Now that you have some understanding, don’t you want to say anything more to me?”
"Father." After hearing Cohen's words, the demon princess immediately knelt down, "The first demon general is not far away. Please allow me to give the order to kill Cohen Keda immediately."
"Don't be anxious. Even if you want to kill him, you have to let him see the thing before you do it." The Dark Lord waved his hand gently without looking away from the magic screen, and Emperor Wells on the screen let out a long sigh at this moment.
, answered Cohen, "I do have a thousand words in my heart, but I can't say them out. Your Majesty, the next generation of outstanding people, will definitely understand me. I just hope that your Majesty will become a hegemon soon and relieve the depression of my decades-long career as emperor.
No matter where you are, I will bless Your Majesty."
"Then, I want to say thank you first, because your thoughts like this are really rare. If I don't fly into the sky, I would be a little sorry for you." His Majesty Cohen laughed and slapped his palm on the table.
After receiving the information, his eyes became a little cold, "Yes, I have the ability to soar into the sky, but I don't want to add the burden of you for decades to my wings!"
"Your Majesty, your Majesty... This is all out of good intentions!" Emperor Wells' eyes trembled.
"Whether it is a good intention or not, it doesn't matter now. My curiosity is very serious, but it has not exceeded my self-control."
Cohen looked at Emperor Wells coldly, "Yes, as an emperor, I am too lonely, so I invited you to dinner, treated you kindly, and promised to consider the life and death of your people... But this does not mean that I will be so lenient.
Give your family a chance to make a difference."
"Your Majesty, you have completely misunderstood me. I am sincere!" Emperor Wells knelt forward and confessed urgently, "I assure you that everything in this information will be of great help to your majesty and is true!"
"If the poison is not real, it will not kill anyone!" Cohen pressed his finger on the table, and a ball of flame ignited and swallowed up the information. Emperor Wells was shocked and stretched out his hand to grab it.
Cohen kicked him far away. The dull-eyed Emperor Kemp fell to the ground. Seeing the information turned to dust, he could not say a word. The ministers outside the hall were anxious, but they did not dare to speak - and in hell
In the demon palace on the island, the Dark Lord continued to smile.
"Thank you for the information, I appreciate it." When the information turned into dust, His Majesty Cohen took back his hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry and go! I will be a good emperor, because I am better than you think.
Evil and sinister."
"Bah!" Emperor Wells spat out a mouthful of blood and stared at Cohen with resentful eyes, "My mistake!"
"Don't say I didn't remind you. Every time you curse, your family's disaster will continue for another generation." Cohen clapped his hands and said disapprovingly: "Okay, today's meeting ends here, I'm going to rest.
The execution will be carried out early tomorrow morning, and you two still have an hour to meet with your close family members - however, I have prepared a few things for you, and you can also choose to commit suicide tonight."
"Why do you do this?" Emperor Wells asked in a low voice, "Am I not even qualified to go to the execution ground?"
"The reason is very simple! If I kill the emperor of another country, it will damage my reputation after all, but it is different if you commit suicide. You want to die, who can stop you?" After answering, Cohen looked at him and fainted.
The Prince of Wales fell to the ground and ordered the people outside the door, "Prepare another meal for the Prince of Wales so that he can say goodbye to his family."
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty the Emperor!" Seeing Cohen about to leave, Emperor Kemp shouted hurriedly, "I don't have any conspiracy!"
"Of course you didn't." Cohen stopped, but did not look back. "Since I have promised to consider it, I will naturally keep my word."
The good show came to an end, and the magic screen slowly rose and gradually disappeared into the ceiling. The Dark Lord stood up from the throne and strolled to the hall door, with his hands behind his back and his gaze cast far away, although he was standing in the distance.
It was not very tall, but it gave people the feeling of completely blocking the hall door. The two demon princesses quietly turned around and knelt, neither of them daring to make a sound to disturb their father's thinking.
"This emperor is getting more and more interesting." The Dark Lord asked softly, "What do you think?"
"Father finds it interesting, which is of course correct." The eldest princess raised her head and answered cautiously, "However, I am a little worried that some of Emperor Sibia's recent actions may affect the dignity of the demon clan - Erchen
That is to say, ignorant humans usually don’t think too deeply about the problem, and they will think that Emperor Sbia’s actions are allowed by the demons.”
"If humans think so, will it affect the majesty of the demon clan?" The Dark Lord chuckled, "I tell you, the only person who can affect the majesty of the demon clan is the demon clan itself. The rest of the explanations are all perfunctory and evasive.
"
"Yes, I have learned a lesson." The eldest princess lowered her head, looking ashamed.
"I don't mean to blame you. Even if you are the eldest princess, you don't know much about the past of the demon clan. So be it! Take your sister to the library and have a look. Then you will understand why I let Emperor Sibia
As." The Demon King turned around and walked back, "To make a truly unbiased evaluation, so far, the human being Cohen Keda has been beneficial to the Demons rather than harmful."
"Why did father say that?" The little princess couldn't hide her curiosity, "He is a divine emperor!"
"Regardless of whether demons belong to gods or gods, how many years has it been since human beings had no major events other than war?" The Dark Lord raised his hand to ask the two princesses to stand up. "The reason for the stagnation before was that humans could not guess the will of the demon god.
Dare to make a difference. After that, we conveyed this will to mankind, but it has never been effective. The most fundamental reason is that mankind has become accustomed to peace and contentment and is no longer willing to make changes. As a result, dynasties have not changed and empires have not changed.
Destruction is not a good thing. And to us demons, what do human royal families and empires mean? After these trivial things change and fall apart, will the land on the continent become even thinner?"
"But father, Emperor Sibia has crossed the dividing line..." The eldest princess expressed the biggest doubt in her heart.
"The dividing line is a dead thing. If it can be brought back to life, that would be a gratifying thing. It would be interesting to make demon-type humans feel the danger. If there is another demon-type human who can compete with Emperor Sbia
People are even more interesting." The Demon King smiled easily, "You can't keep interesting things to yourself. Send this meeting to the Gods and let the God King see it."
"Yes, father, I will arrange it."
"Since Emperor Sibia has knocked on the door, the demons cannot ignore it. You go to see Cohen Keda, and on your way back, stop by the Demon Palace to increase the pressure and let these humans go into battle with all their strength."
The Demon King added: "Since Cohen Keda has taken away two empires from the Demons, he must also do something for the Demons... Go down!"
"My son understands my father's intention and will make appropriate arrangements." The eldest princess quickly left with her sister.
That night, Kemp deposed the emperor, Wells deposed the emperor and Wells deposed the prince "successively" committed suicide in fear of crime. His Majesty Cohen learned about this in the early morning and was furious. He ordered the three culprits who caused the war to be beheaded and buried.
.In the eyes of more than a dozen local Welsh nobles who witnessed the incident, the funeral had no standards at all. The three royal families who enjoyed great wealth during their lifetime were treated like ordinary death row prisoners after death by a group of soldiers.
I packed my bags and found a secret place. I dug a hole and filled it with soil.
As soon as the people were buried over there, there were others who were unlucky here. All the adult males of the two-dead royal family were beaten with military sticks by the judge sent by His Majesty Cohen. Countless bloody buttocks reminded the world that Emperor Sibia must not be allowed to die.
angry.
Then, Prince Leke Keda, Governor of the Special Province of Wells and Camp in the Spea Empire, issued a declaration at noon, denounced the sinister intentions of the three deposed royals. The article pointed out that the wise and benevolent His Majesty Cohen Keda's original intention was
A day was set for a public trial of the war crimes of these three people, and they had already made plans to grant amnesty afterwards. However, these three people had evil intentions. They actually committed suicide in fear of crime after being informed of such news at a banquet hosted by His Majesty Cohen, trying to use their dirty
It is a great evil to put His Majesty Cohen in an unkind situation in life... At the end of the article, there is a special pardon issued by His Majesty Cohen, and an additional pardon is added to prove its authenticity.
At the end of the declaration, there is the latest arrangement for the two deposed royal families by His Majesty Cohen, who is in a "furious state" - all members have been deprived of all honorary status, direct members have been sentenced to life-long hard labor and life imprisonment, and collateral members have been placed under residential surveillance.
, those under the age of fourteen are not responsible for family crimes, and their status will be determined when they reach adulthood; because the former deposed prince of Camp was less than two years old, he was adopted as an adopted son by Tiev Lorenzo, an important minister of the Sibia Empire, and his status will be determined after he reaches adulthood.
As soon as this declaration came out, the Special Province of Wales, which got the news immediately, was in an uproar. No one thought that Emperor Sibia would handle this matter like this, and this matter seemed very serious.
complex twists and turns.
In fact, no one wants to believe that Emperor Sibia had long wanted to pardon the defeated emperor, but everyone has to admit that the people can bear the death of the two deposed emperors. As for whether it can reach the level of Emperor Sibia
Other expected effects are unknown.
But in any case, in the hearts of the nobles and people of Wales, the image of His Majesty Cohen Keda has gradually become clearer. So far, His Majesty Cohen is not a benevolent emperor in everyone's mind, but just a person who makes people guess.
An emperor who is opaque is the most feared person. In the eyes of demonic people, it is not difficult to be a benevolent emperor. What's more, they think that benevolence is equivalent to inaction. A powerful empire can only
A strong emperor is needed... Korn Keda has already shown his strength in the military. After that strange dinner, the people have accepted him and are waiting to see him show his strength in other aspects.
Among the Ministers of Sbia, although His Majesty Cohen's handling method was far from their suggestions, no one expressed objections to His Majesty Cohen's decision, and even Dean Lorenzo did not jump out to make a fuss. This is somewhat unusual.
In the next ten days, His Majesty Cohen has been inspecting the border defenses and helping the military to formulate a series of combat readiness plans. After the troops from the rear were mobilized, the combat troops of the Sibia Army in these two special provinces have reached 100,000.
A record of three hundred thousand. These troops were mainly concentrated in four dangerous areas. Relying on the city's roads, they established solid defense lines in Wells and Camp.
It can be seen from the deployment of troops that Cohen Keda made sufficient preparations before the war, because at the beginning of the founding of the country of Sibia, the total number of troops was only 300,000. In a short period of time, Sibia's army
The Biya Army has completed a replication of itself without declining in overall quality. The number of regular combat troops has reached more than 600,000, and there are also a number of border guards and internal security forces belonging to various theaters... If there were not an army of this size,
The newly occupied land will be able to empty out Sibia's army.
The specific deployment principle is: the capitals of the two special provinces are the main bases, and a complete logistics supply system is established. Relying on this system, the main forces of the combat troops are stationed in three to four key areas, and each unit is at least 500 meters away from the national border.
At a distance of 500 miles, only some sentries and daily patrol units are retained on the national border. However, within this distance of 500 miles, more than three forward bases must be built - of course they are empty and stationed with a small number of troops.
The intelligence system is pushed beyond the national borders to monitor the movements of the armies of the neighboring demon empires. Once an offensive threat is discovered, the intelligence is immediately transmitted back, and then the combat troops make judgments to determine the best battle location and the size of the participating armies.
The overall operational thinking of the Sibia Army is to adhere to active defense, that is, to allow enemy troops to enter the country, but the bottom line is 500 miles and the time is one month - Sibia's staff has made detailed calculations. If it is not the coalition forces, it will take the magic.
It belongs to the army's legion-level supply system. Their supply line is generally three hundred miles, four hundred miles is the limit, and five hundred miles is only one step away from completion. However, the Sibia Army's main base established in the provincial capital can
All the combat resources of the province are firmly in hand and transported to the front line, so that the counterattack range of the troops does not need to be limited by logistics, and can even support 150,000 troops to fight 200 miles beyond the national border for a month.
In the capitals of the two special provinces, there are also stationed 15,000 Guards, 20,000 standing troops, 5,000 local standing troops, and 5,000 garrison troops. The Guards Command Office is set up as the highest military command body in the provinces, and Haiert is appointed
Lieutenant General Moya commanded the Guards of Wales, and Lieutenant General Moya commanded the Guards of Camp. At this point, these two generals finally transformed from ordinary generals to independent military commanders.
Of course, before becoming commander-in-chief, they need to go to His Majesty Cohen for necessary military training.
On the other hand, these two men had not seen Cohen for some days. As soon as they received the order, they arranged for defense and came with a group of subordinates. After that, His Majesty Cohen closed the door, and no one knew what the group of people inside was.
What.
The ones who are relaxed are the chamberlains, because the more than ten generals and His Majesty the Emperor do not have any special requirements for food and drink. They only need to provide enough food, drinking water and beds. The generals usually eat like crazy when they go out and then fall asleep.
...But it was a bitter experience for the former cartographers Wells and Kemp. In just three days, they rushed to produce more than 130 large-scale detailed military maps, but some were still not enough.
My eyes were red from exhaustion.
The internal affairs system is not idle either. While His Majesty Cohen is personally teaching the generals, they are collecting various information across the territory, including economic conditions, farming conditions, land area, population, racial distribution, ethnic grievances, etc.
...While carrying out these tasks, the efficient interior officials of Sbia also established a large number of refugee camps to temporarily accommodate refugees displaced by the war.
Several days later, on the morning when His Majesty Cohen opened the door and took a group of generals who had "barely graduated" to see the sky again, he was greeted by not only more than thirty interior ministers, but also countless statistics.
His Majesty Cohen looked around, took a deep breath of fresh air, and then said: "Eat first! Let's talk while eating - don't bother me with breakfast, I want to eat a hearty meal!"
"That's right." Lieutenant General Haiert rubbed his eyes and answered, "It would be best to give a banquet..."
"Do you really want to eat it?" Lieutenant General Moya said softly: "I heard that the nobles who ate it had diarrhea for several days."
"It's worth having diarrhea..." Lieutenant General Haiert was about to say something glib, but when he caught a glimpse of the "boss"'s sincere gaze, he immediately changed his words without thinking, "Who cares about a banquet! His Majesty the Emperor's food is the best.
Yes! Do you think so?"
"Yes, sir!" Behind him, a group of generals who were laughing in their hearts replied in unison. (To be continued)
