On the way to the Imperial Arena, the proudest place in the empire, there was an inconspicuous carriage. Carrying the emperor of the empire, Gilniv and his two generals, Lightning Badjad and Gale Wind.
Nimpur.
As for the heavy bombing of Lenas! She was thrown into the imperial city. As for the reason, everyone knows.
Why did Gilniv go to the Colosseum? Of course, he didn't go to watch the excitement, but to meet with the envoys from the Slaan Theocracy.
After realizing that the changes in the Dragon Kingdom might be related to Elizabeth, Gilniv was restless and hesitant to warn the Theocracy to pay attention to Elizabeth. However, when he thought of Elizabeth's terrifying strength and wisdom, he was worried that she would see through it.
, which led to the Sorcerous Kingdom taking direct action against the Empire.
It was at this time that the Theocracy proposed a secret meeting and talks with the Empire. At first Gilniv wanted to refuse, because he was afraid that this meeting might be set up by Elizabeth to set him up.
But after learning that the person who came to meet and talk with him would be one of the Six Colored Priests of the Theocracy, Gilniv felt relieved and agreed.
After all... no matter how powerful Elizabeth is, it is impossible for her to sneak into the core power circle of the Theocracy in such a short period of time!
Besides, the current empire really needs the help of the Theocracy. If it were them, they should have ways to deal with the undead!
Otherwise... the Empire really has no hope of seeing tomorrow, or... is it the right choice to join the Sorcerous Kingdom as soon as possible?
Gilniv thought of the battle damage report from the Battle of Kaz Plains, and he was right... In the Battle of Kaz Plains, the imperial troops who were watching the whole show also had reports of casualties. There were about a hundred casualties, all due to self-inflicted chaos.
And bring about self-destruction.
Not only that, after the battle, more than 3,000 people submitted their resignations and wanted to leave the Imperial Knights. In addition... thousands of soldiers also experienced psychological symptoms such as inner restlessness and anxiety.
Forget it, although it is indeed not easy to train a qualified warrior. It not only costs a lot of money and manpower, but the next thing that is serious is the petition submitted by the Imperial Knights.
Those petitions were jointly submitted by the top leaders of various knights, but the contents were surprisingly consistent. They all hoped to avoid war with the Sorcerous Kingdom. In other words... the entire Imperial Knights had lost the courage to fight with the Sorcerous Kingdom.
.
However, they don’t need to teach themselves about this kind of thing! After seeing the absolute power of easily defeating 200,000 troops with just one magic, anyone who dares to find trouble is either a fool or a madman!
But even so, the Knights have submitted a petition, which shows that... the Knights no longer believe in their emperor.
It would have been better if he had just ignored that bitch Elizabeth and surrendered to the Sorcerous Kingdom. At least this would have given the Empire a little hope. Now that it was basically checkmate, Gilniv's stomach twitched when he thought about this.
My chest began to feel a dull pain, and my expression gradually became distorted.
"Your Majesty, are you okay? You don't look well." Bajed asked with concern.
"No... I'm fine. Are we almost there?" Gilniv said in order to cover up his cowardice.
He is the emperor... he cannot act so worthless in front of his subordinates. At least after contacting the Theocracy... the empire may see hope.
"Yes, we are about to arrive. So, Your Majesty, the arrangement in the arena is to meet everyone at Silver Bird before moving to the predetermined location, right?" Bajed confirmed with his emperor once again.
Gilniv nodded silently. Gilniv felt a little guilty about this matter. If Fulda hadn't betrayed him, he wouldn't have had to hire the Empire's adamantine-grade adventurer team Silver Bird at a high price to serve as a guard.
.
This shows that he does not trust his generals, but this is also a helpless move. Without Fulda's magical support, the two generals in front of them are completely unable to deal with magic-related emergencies.
"Your Majesty, the adamantite-level adventurers are indeed the strongest combat force in mankind, but that is only from a human perspective, so your Majesty, please do not be careless." Nimble said, after all, he had witnessed that great battle with his own eyes.
Those who have been slaughtered have also seen monsters standing side by side in front of the throne.
"Of course, I also know what kind of monster our opponent is, so I can only hope that our country's strongest combat power can be used." Gilniv showed a wry smile and answered.
After being silent for a while, Gilniv spoke again...
"If even they can't do it..."
As soon as Gilniv said this, both generals showed very bitter expressions. Gilniv was actually the same as them. Gilniv, who had lost his previous anger, also looked very depressed.
"Ah... I'm sorry! I haven't been in good shape lately." Gilniv also understood that saying depressing words in front of a general he trusted would really affect his image.
"We can't help His Majesty solve his problems. It's us who should apologize." Bajed replied.
"No, as the emperor of the empire, it is indeed my problem to let you see the embarrassing side." Gilniv paused, adjusted his mood, and continued.
"Now that you two are the only ones here, can you listen to me complain again?" Gilniv said.
The two loyal knights in front of them nodded unanimously.
"What should the Empire do? What should we do to reverse the Empire's situation? How can we defeat that kind of monster? Now even the Empire's strongest ace has rebelled. To be honest... I'm really a little bit
I want to give up." Gilniv said while holding his forehead.
Originally, I didn't want to be embarrassed in front of my general, but I had been holding these complaints in my heart and had no way to vent them, and I was very aggrieved.
The two generals looked at their emperor's dejected look and nodded in understanding.
"I asked that guy to use magic. I asked that guy to show his hands a little. If we didn't do this, how could we know the true strength of the monster? I didn't expect the result to be like this." Gilniff grabbed it randomly.
I know very well that complaining about my hair and complaining to my general is just a one-sided vent.
"Sorry! I lost control again." Gilniv sat up straight, and then noticed that a lot of hair was stuck to his hands.
It seemed that he might become the first bald emperor in the history of the empire. He had seen portraits of his ancestors before, and there were no figures with thin hair. Thinking of this, Gilniv took advantage of the two generals not paying attention and took pictures.
hair in hands.
"It will make you feel at a loss to see you embarrassed and complain... But don't worry, the Empire will not let that monster do whatever he wants. There should be other countermeasures. This time we will fight with the Theocracy's
Senior management...ah..." Gilniv noticed that he almost made a mistake.
Although he asked his trusted apprentice to apply anti-eavesdropping magic before setting off, and the carriage's compartment was also treated with anti-eavesdropping treatment, he still had to be careful when he thought about the opponent he faced.
"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, I won't let the Sorcerous Kingdom do whatever they want to the Empire." Gilniv forced himself to give a confident smile and said.
The depressed expressions of the two generals softened, even if only a little. They also understood that their emperor was just trying to show off his strength, and no matter how hard they thought... they couldn't think of a way to deal with that monster.
As a result, the carriage slowly drove towards the Empire's Arena in this awkward atmosphere. They had no idea what was waiting for them there... Is it a glimmer of hope brought by the Theocracy? Or is it greater despair?
