"Millions of victims gathered under the imperial capital, without food and clothing, hungry and cold. Even if you take out all the money from the treasury, how much can you support? Until there is a fundamental solution to this problem, all measures are just meaningless self-satisfaction. I completely agree with you, General Perks. ”

Your consent is important to me to say? Lao Tzu still needs your consent? The commander of the Second Army Corps covertly rolled his eyes and did not speak.

"And we all know this, Your Excellency Generals, the reason why there is such a tragedy, and there is a situation where His Excellency Marshal's lifelong efforts to fight will be in vain, is because of this Auckland Civil War." At this, Bartoli's voice suddenly became bitter: "Such a great country! It is obviously a beacon of hope and a civilized country for all mankind and even the whole world, but it has fallen into such a tragic situation. But just two or three years ago, the people of Auckland could hold their heads high wherever they went, simply because they were Aucklanders...... And now, seeing the miserable situation of the people outside the imperial capital, I like, everyone present doesn't dare to face their expressions and eyes, right? ”

"This is true for me and the Marquis de Gerbat, for the Lords of the Privy Council, and, of course, for His Majesty the Emperor...... Isn't the suffering of the people the greatest dereliction of duty on the part of those of us who live in eight places? His voice carried a touch of sadness, and it was really sad for those who heard it and wept when they saw it. You see, hasn't the "dough" count already begun to wipe away his tears? From the perspective of cross talk, he is really a good partner!

"Be as direct as you can say what you want to say, Mr. Bartoli. Those present were all martial artists. The most disgusting thing is such pointless grinding. The Commander of the Twelfth Legion, Sir Eldy, interrupted him in a deep voice. He, like Sir Proll, the knightly chief of the First Legion, was born into a minority in the Empire. Of course, I also dislike that kind of aristocratic tone, and I feel that it is a waste of life in my bones.

Of course. Unlike Prol, a fierce general known as "Balge's Hurricane", this general is particularly polite, like a scholar more than a warrior, and is a rare transfer to military positions as a civilian official in the entire imperial army. After graduating from the Imperial National Central University in his early years, he was recruited by the Imperial Military Department to be responsible for the military's audit, coordination, supply and deployment and other civilian work. Later, by chance, under very special circumstances, he proved that he still had the talent to lead the army and fight, and was soon appreciated by the military bosses and the Sun King and his wife, so he changed from the financial officer of the Twelfth Legion to the centurion of the Twelfth Legion. And then step by step ascended to such a high position as the commander of the corps.

Due to his early experience, he was naturally the most lacking individual combat effectiveness of all the senior generals of the Imperial Army, but his tactical skills were extremely flexible and sophisticated, heavy but by no means old-fashioned. In the eyes of the old Marshal Corneli, he was the same as Baron Lurkus of the First Legion, a candidate for the future marshal of the Imperial Army.

Sir Ildi was nicknamed "the nerd" or "Mr. Scholar" by his colleagues, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell that it was a well-intentioned joke, and that the "dough" of Count Vlamir was a different story.

"Your Excellency is a great scholar of great learning whom I admire the most, but yet you are so cheerful...... Maybe. This is the true style of a martial artist, and it is really different from a psychologically shady spellcaster like me, which is really heartbreaking. Bartoli's face peeked out of half of his hood and squeezed out a smile that sounded like a self-defeating politeness. But with an indescribable coldness. He put down the wine glass in his hand and opened his mouth flatly: "The adults in the lower and the Privy Council all believe that the civil war in the empire has evolved like this. It is because the sharpest sword of the empire cannot be held in the hands of the real supreme of the empire, and can only sit and watch the rebels grow so big that it is difficult to control. Fortunately. It is not yet irretrievable. As long as you can show the loyalty and sense of honor that truly belong to the warriors, plus the reinforcements of His Excellency the Prime Minister and His Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Dragon Castle. You can put down the rebellion with a thunderbolt. Everything can be completely returned to normal. ”

His words were so plain, as if he was discussing the taste of the meal on the plate, but because of this, the atmosphere in the entire Moon God Hall became more solemn.

"Hmph...... And so it was. The generals exchanged their information with their eyes, but their hearts were wrapped in a strange emotion. They knew there would be such a thing. However, it was this seemingly inconspicuous emperor's personal magic adviser who had no influence in the imperial political arena and the military that took the lead in throwing it out, and it was such a straightforward method, which was indeed a bit unexpected by everyone.

The generals, however, could not directly refute it. Because Iken had already sat on the throne after all, and as the commanders of the Imperial Legions, they naturally did not have any reasonable and legitimate reason to refuse an emperor's order.

Do you really want to say it clearly: We don't recognize you as the real emperor, and there is no national seal, no edict of the first emperor, and no unanimous recognition of the royal family.

In many cases, once the tacit understanding of convention is lifted and placed on the surface, it seems too low.

The old marshal sighed slightly and looked deeply at Baltoli. It was only at this time that he looked at the humble magic advisor for the first time.

"Do you mean you've decided anyway?" The Magic Advisor smiled, "If you had intervened, even if you had joined the Fifth and Ninth Legions under the command of the rebels, your officers and soldiers would definitely reconsider their positions." Peace and prosperity of the empire are just around the corner! Those who have suffered will soon be able to return home and start a new life. ”

"Your Majesty, if this is your opinion, then you can only forgive the old minister for being rude." The old man spoke to the emperor, who had not spoken a word on the throne, and said, "You are very clear about our opinions, so why waste everyone's time with such meaningless words? How about leaving some face for the empire and yourself? ”

His words seemed even. But the threat couldn't be clearer. Only the old marshal himself knew that he had a secret edict from the Sun King on his deathbed. He explained in detail the reasons why he did not appoint a crown prince during his lifetime and his follow-up plans. In the edict, Gayus the Great asked Marshal Corneli to use his prestige to keep as many of the Central Army as neutral as possible. The two don't help each other...... But in the event of an emergency, such as Her Royal Highness the World's No. 1 Princess falling and about to be defeated, or for example, Emperor Iken doing a particularly drastic stupid thing, they can immediately raise troops to counteract. The secret edict with the seal of the state seal and the handwriting of the Sun King is the absolute name of righteousness.

But if this is the case, the name of the Sun King will inevitably be greatly affected. With such a drastic means to calculate his own sons and his own vassals and nobles, the emperor will definitely leave such an evaluation as "conspirator" and "femme fatale" in the historical records. And his true heir, the Duke of Calgary, will also suffer a big blow to the prestige of the Duke of Calgary, which will have a series of serious sequelae for the continuation of future national policy.

Whatever that point. These are all things that this veteran who was single-handedly picked up by Emperor Gaius absolutely does not want to see. He was the only person in the entire empire who knew of the existence of this edict, and if he could, the old man even wanted to take it with him in the coffin. Originally, looking at the advance of Her Royal Highness the World's No. 1 Princess, he thought that he would never need this edict.

…… However, if Emperor Iken was really so reckless, it seemed that he would have to resort to extraordinary measures. After all, this is actually an order from His Majesty Gaius.

"Huh? Did I hear it wrong? Your Excellency, you are an important minister in the era of the first emperor. The most eye-catching and respected general in the Imperial Army, and you are actually threatening Your Majesty with your mouth like this? Vlamir let out a feigned surprise sound.

"Where is this threat, Your Excellency Marshal is merely doing the duty of a true knight. Vlamy, loyalty is not wagging your tail in front of the monarch, even knowing that the monarch is unhappy. We must also insist on justice and reason! Of course, rats like you. Even if you stay in the position of corps commander for another twenty years, I'm afraid you will never understand, right? Perkes sneered.

"No matter how you try to confuse Your Majesty. Sorcerer...... Even if all of us die here, you won't be able to mobilize a single soldier of the hundreds of thousands of iron troops outside the city! Sir Proll burst out laughing, "As Your Majesty's magical advisor, aren't you going to sew a little gold and honey on your tongue and just want us to comply?" ”

"Look at it like this, is the negotiation broken? All of you present are the elite of the Empire, and for Your Majesty's sake, I really hope that everyone can live in peace. The Magic Advisor sighed.

"I really can't listen to it anymore!" Sir Proll stood to his feet, striding towards the Magical Advisor with his mountain-like body. He had no weapon, but with a little force, he removed the gold-clad brass back from the chair.

"What do you want to do! Sir Prol! Do you want to assassinate Your Majesty? Count Vlamir and Viscount Agritte stood up and shouted at the "Balg Hurricane". Unlike the unarmed everyone, these two are armed with swords, otherwise they would not dare to stand in front of the famous fierce general.

"Fuck off! The villain of the forces! Even if you're holding a sword, it's like you're holding a toothpick to me! The fierce general just slapped his hand slightly, and pulled the "dough" legion commander aside: "This wizard of unknown origin, as a guest secretary and personal adviser, dares to intervene in the negotiation between His Majesty the Emperor and His Excellency the Marshal!" If you don't teach him a good lesson, it will be an offense and a blasphemy against the great Emperor and the glorious imperial army! ”

Look at the big hat button. If General Proll is a rough man, even a fool will never believe it, right?

He stepped forward, the back of his brass gilt chair slamming into Bartoli's Celestial Cover, which was still seated in his seat.

"Phew!" The back of the chair slammed against the translucent light curtain, but there was a loud and muffled sound like the impact of metal. Under the light curtain, Bartoli, who was sitting upright in his seat, poured himself another glass of wine very easily, and expressed his contempt for Sir Prol, who had attacked him, and even ignored it.

"Huh...... The annoying wizard, sure enough, still has two hands. Sir Proll let out three laughs, leaving the whole back of his chair, which had been completely deformed, and the breath of the whole man had completely froze. Those who know him well know. This uninhibited brave general is only when facing the land of life and death. That's why there will be such an emergency response.

"You, you...... Prol! How daring! The Emperor, who was sitting on the main seat, turned pale with anger, and pointed at Sir Proor. I could barely utter a complete sentence: "To be so arrogant and domineering in front of your emperor, is this the honor taught by your Saint Laurent Knight Academy?" ”

The Marquis of Gelbat had already stood up, facing the eyes of all the famous Auckland generals present, he only felt that his scalp was numb and his back was cold, but he only said reluctantly: "Sir Prol, this is the Yongchen Palace, the Moon God Hall, and it is in front of His Majesty the Emperor!" You still dare to attack His Majesty the Emperor's personal advisers! In your eyes. Auckland's dignity and the Holy Springs coat of arms are meaningless, right? Now that you're attacking His Majesty's personal advisor, are you going to assassinate the king next? ”

"I can't afford such a big hat, Marquis. If I am such a rebellious thief, all the kings present can take off this head. Sir Proll replied without looking back, "But the Lower Ruler has already said that it would be a great disrespect to the dignity of the Empire to let such a rebellious villain as Bartoli be allowed to do so." Since this guy is His Majesty's personal adviser, he will naturally be inseparable from His Majesty at any time. But he is such an arrogant and arrogant person, so that the lower officials are really relieved. If it doesn't matter at all. Maybe one day, he will really plot to murder His Majesty and steal the national weapon! ”

Sir Proll is really a typical famous eloquence, and he can talk nonsense seriously while still being able to beat a rake, and the helpless problem is. He also said it very reasonably, at least it is difficult for everyone present to find a theoretical basis to refute it.

"You horseman! Sure enough, let a lowly rat like you with no family or background occupy a high position. It was the biggest mistake of the first emperor! Viscount Agritte roared and jumped over the barrier of the long table and drew his sword. Pounced on Sir Prol.

"Letting an incompetent and sinister villain like you serve as the commander of the legion is the greatest helplessness of the first emperor. He had to put a cauliflower snake that thought he was a poisonous snake and a rabbit that thought he was a tiger into the lions. I can imagine the first emperor sighing. Viscount Perkes had already squinted his eyes and stood up, and with his hand he had picked up a silver candlestick from the table as a weapon, ready to parry Agrit's sword.

However, before Agrit's sword stabbed at Prol, and even before he met Perkes, he stumbled under his feet, and it was directly a dog with perfect movements that could score 9.9 points to pounce on the mud. Of course, he didn't notice that when he hurried forward, Baron Lurkus on the side had already stretched out his legs indifferently. Of course, even if he plotted against the other party in such a "despicable and shameless" way, he still kept a straight face and put on a very calm and calm look, which is completely like I don't know anything.

Just ten seconds later, the entire gorgeous Moon God Hall fell into a mess, and the old marshal slowly stood up at this time, looking directly at the supreme on the main throne, and saw that the other party was restless: "Your Majesty, if this is your purpose today, the old minister can only say that you will still be disappointed." Lip service is actually pointless. You can kill every single one of us here, but it still won't help...... Your father established a military system that was so strict that the military commander died and the legion remained in its original state. ”

The Emperor gritted his teeth and said nothing, and even hung his head a little evasively, while Bartoli also stood up slowly, clapping his hands vigorously, and a large group of armored warriors suddenly poured in outside the Luna Hall.

"Don't worry, gentlemen." He looked at the generals present, but he didn't see the flickering and frightened expressions in anyone's eyes, and couldn't help but smile: "I really admire your courage and honor, but you don't have to think about it, these people are just responsible for keeping you from leaving here for the time being." I will convince you in a peaceful and bloodless way that everything will return to its former peace, I assure you......"

"You're having hysterical dreams, wizard!" Ildi said with a sneer.

"No, yes, but beautiful dreams are a good thing. I assure you, Your Excellency. When you witness the existence of this dream, you will naturally become my companion sincerely. ”

The two guards had already entered the room carrying a heavy object covered with a tarpaulin. Judging from their struggling expressions and staggering movements, this thing is really a bit heavy.

The weight was erected, and Bartoli lifted the gray tarpaulin, revealing a standing statue of a man tall and looking very quaint. The whole statue of the god is in a gray color, I can't see any material, I can't see the face, I only know that it is a goddess statue.

"Now, we can begin, Your Majesty the Emperor." Bartoli spoke to the Emperor. At this time, as General Ildi had said, his words seemed to be really full of honey. (To be continued.) )
