The Second Count of the Empire, Dylan Viskar, was sitting in front of his dining table, enjoying his gorgeous breakfast before going to work.
In front of him, a flat-screen LCD TV was playing an important message. This was an important speech delivered by His Majesty the Imperial Emperor, Alan Hycles.
Count Durant cut off a piece of sausage, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it carefully. The soft-boiled omelette was pierced with a fork on the plate, and the bright yolk was flowing everywhere.
"The puppet empire is over. Our department's meeting today is probably about the specific arrangements for immigrants to open up wasteland near the Malen River." The senior official in charge of the peasant relocation plan of the empire's agricultural department commented while watching TV.
.
The countess sitting next to him obviously didn't care about these things at all. She was looking at a thick, exquisite-looking fashion magazine. On it, next to Princess Jessica's gorgeous red lips, was a
Just look at the row of famous brand lipsticks that are expensive.
On the TV, Chris, who was sitting upright, held the manuscript and spoke righteously to the camera about a country's declaration of victory:
"As the emperor of the Airanhill Empire, on behalf of the billions of people of the empire and the combat troops of the three armies, I sue the puppet empire..."
"The three armies of our empire, Qian Wan's army, have made final preparations and are about to deliver the final blow to the puppet empire! The empire's troops are determined, perseverant, and capable...to fight against the puppet empire and not fully occupy it before
, never stop.”
"The Holy Demon Empire overestimated its capabilities to provoke the Elanthir Empire and arouse the great power of the free people of the Elanthir Empire! The results are obvious and can serve as a lesson for the people of the puppet empire. Elanthir is solving the problem
During the barbaric war, the Holy Demon Empire had to destroy all the land, industry and way of life of the people of the Holy Demon Empire...but now the power of focusing on the puppet empire is even more powerful and immeasurable."
"If your country still insists on going its own way, our military strength, backed by our firm will, will completely destroy the puppet empire's army, and there is no way to escape! And the puppet empire's homeland will eventually be buried with it."
"Now, the last moment of the puppet empire has arrived. Your country must decide its next choice and embark on the path of choice!"
"If your country continues to go its own way, make wrong choices, insist on supporting Travish, the son of the devil, and bring the puppet empire to an end of complete destruction... Elantheil will use all its power to destroy your country and end your country's evil legacy.
road!"
"Of course, if your country rationally accepts the fate of failure and is willing to accept the following conditions, then Eiland Hill will, in the spirit of seeking development and welfare for mankind, accept your country's sincerity and achieve permanent peace in human society!"
"First! Travish, who deceived and wrongly led the people of the puppet empire to defect to the devil and provoke a civil war in mankind, must be executed! His main supporters must receive a fair trial!"
"Second! Before the people who are looking forward to peace can establish a new order, the puppet empire will relieve the empire of all rights, and all its public affairs will be executed by Ailan Hill! After the order is established, the name of the puppet empire is still not allowed!"
"Third, the area currently under the jurisdiction of the puppet empire will be renamed the custody area. After the army of the puppet empire is completely disarmed, they will be allowed to return to their hometowns. Those who have committed serious crimes will have to face trial!"
"The areas currently under the jurisdiction of the Puppet Empire will be allowed to maintain the industries necessary for its economy, as well as the industry and magic manufacturing capabilities that can repay goods compensation. Under strict control of raw materials, production will repay the compensation for the losses caused by the Puppet Empire's invasion of other countries!
"
"Above! As the Emperor of the Airansil Empire, I order the puppet empire government to immediately announce the unconditional surrender of all the puppet empire's armed forces! And prove the sincerity of surrender with actions! Lay down your weapons in exchange for a safety guarantee!"
Chris finished reading his speech "Urge the Puppet Empire to Surrender", leaving only the last sentence above.
He raised his head, looked at the screen, and finally said in a calm tone: "If you refuse, the puppet empire will be quickly and completely destroyed."
Then, the TV signal switched back to the morning news that was being broadcast, and the host began to comment on His Majesty the Emperor's speech, saying that it was an important sign that the war was coming to an end and that it was also the beginning of a comprehensive victory for Elland Hill.
Immediately afterwards, the host took out the manuscript he had prepared long ago and read it righteously: "Puppet Empire! You have now reached the end of your rope. Your eastward marching regiment has surrendered at the end of its rope.
"
"Although your northern regiment has turned around and fled south, it is also besieged in the Dorai area. If you want to wait until they retreat across the Central Inland Sea, there is no hope."
"Think about your Mullen River defense line, which was hastily established only a few days ago? On the other side of the river is our millions of troops and countless tanks and fighter planes. Your Gushan Fortress has been built for so long, what is the result?
?”
"Your puppets and other weapons of war have proven useless. We have more planes and tanks than you do, and our planes, tanks, and cannons are ten times more powerful than your similar weapons!"
Compared to Chris's previous article, which had a domineering tone but was very official, this press release is a bit more heart-wrenching.
Everything here is filled with the disastrous defeat that the puppet empire just experienced. Taking it out now is almost like adding salt to the opponent's wounds.
Although it is not a formal manuscript, every sentence in it almost says: "You are finished! Surrender quickly! If you are late, it will be too late!"
"Bah!" An old hand turned off the radio switch, and the whole room instantly became quiet.
Grand Magister Travish was leaning on his comfortable chair, feeling a little on pins and needles at this moment.
Once upon a time, he was a respected and powerful magician, but now, he has become the "son of the devil" officially declared by the Elanthir Empire!
This title is really ironic and vicious. Every time he hears this title, Travish can't help but want to vent his inner anger.
He did take refuge in the devil, but he was not the son of the devil! He, the majestic great mage, the well-intentioned master of the puppet empire who endured hardships and tried to seek a chance for humanity, was portrayed as a traitor who knelt before the devil.
Man, it hurts your heart!
The other party actually put on a show of fighting him to the death, announcing that he would only accept the surrender of the puppet empire if he was killed, as if he had been cast into a villain who must be defeated.
But now, what he needs to consider is how he will face it if the puppet empire is really defeated.
As a human, he didn't want the demon to win, but as a human who cooperated with the demon, he had to rely on the demon to win to stabilize his position. This was a tangled matter, and it was also his last resort choice at the time.
Originally, what he wanted to do was to leave a glimmer of hope for mankind no matter what, but now, what he thought about was where he should go.
At the same time, in the Eilanhill Empire, the second-ranking Earl of the Empire, Dilantheviskar, finished his breakfast, stood up, hugged his wife, and prepared to go out to work.
Behind him, the voice on the TV continued: "Your Mullen River defense line is no different from paper in front of our army! You have gathered so many people and squeezed together, and we
One cannonball can kill a bunch of you."
"The situation is the same as the East Marching Corps! In fact, the puppet empire soldiers in the Malen River defense line! We no longer want to fight. You commanders and officers should consider the feelings of your subordinates and their families.
Cherish their lives, find a way out for them as early as possible, and don’t ask them to make unnecessary sacrifices again.”
"The Eastern March Corps surrendered, and you have seen with your own eyes the fate of the Northern Corps. You should learn from the example of the East March Corps and immediately order the entire army to lay down their weapons and stop resisting. The majestic army of our empire can guarantee that your senior generals and all
The lives of officers and soldiers are safe.”
"This is your only way to survive. Think about it! If you think this is good, then do it. If you still want to resist, then continue to resist. You will eventually be dealt with."
"I don't know if those poor puppet empire people have radios..." The count's wife put on her husband's coat and sighed with disdain.
Almost at the same moment, the day had not yet dawned, and Grand Magister Gricken and Ronsadele leaned on their chairs, looking at the giant screen TV given to him by Alan Hill, and watching Chris's righteous words inside.
In his speech, not a single word was said.
Ailanshir has become so powerful that it can even unilaterally demand the surrender of the puppet empire without even having to issue a proclamation to Grecken.
The emperor who once had to rely on Grecken for protection is now truly invincible. What was once a weak and unknown little force is now a huge super empire.
What he heard was that the empire had begun launching spacecrafts to explore the universe. This was once his dream, but something he had not been able to do.
Even, at this moment, what Ronsardele was thinking about was what the world would be like if the demon army were defeated by Ailan Hill.
A few years ago, such an idea would have even made him laughable, but now he is really starting to think about such issues seriously.
Where will Greken go? Where will the elves go? What about the dragons? Where are the demons? Even... where will the future of this planet go?——
