Chapter 161: Undeclared War on Warsaw
"Quiet! Let His Royal Highness the Prince finish speaking! Although he had already guessed everyone's reaction, the old man couldn't help frowning slightly after scanning the surrounding crowd and said. Although the deputies were shocked by the information that the young man said, the old man's quiet but penetrating words calmed down the deputies present again, and slowly sat down and looked at the young man with anxious eyes, hoping that he could tell everyone present the cause of this sudden incident.
"I know that everyone will think that what I said is a lie, but after our intelligence officers judged the information collected in various parts of the Northwest Continent in the past few days, we have come to a conclusion that is even more unbelievable to everyone present. That's ............ The Emperor of the Mars Empire not only did not think of retaliating against the sun after the defeat of the vanguard, but thought about the armistice agreement submitted by the army general of the empire as the armistice messenger, Andrelt, although because the two met separately and privately, and the meeting was surrounded by high-ranking members of the Thieves and Assassin Guilds of the Sunset Empire, several ace spies of the Friends of the Forest could not obtain the content of the secret meeting between the two men, but we have obtained clear information, The Sun Never Sets Empire and the Mars Empire have ceased to fight each other, and even trade routes within the two empires have resumed operations. ”
"That's not right!" A thin middle-aged councillor stood up and said, "Hello Your Royal Highness, I am the person in charge of the western region of the trade route between the Sunset Empire and the Mars Empire. As far as I know, there were still nearly tens of thousands of Mars soldiers stationed outside the city of Dean at this time, and on the morning of July 5th, the day the head of the council issued the emergency assembly order of the councillors, it was in the city of Dean that I happened to discuss a new trade agreement with the merchant guild branch of the empire on which the sun never sets. ”
"Then Mr. Councillor, I would like to ask you, when did you enter Dean City? How do I enter? And how did you leave? ”
"Uh...... I entered Dean on the 1st of July, in the same way that the Sunset Smuggler had taken, because I had some friendship with a member of the merchant department who was in charge of the western part of the Edinburgh Empire, and he agreed to allow me to enter Dean City as a single person. But when I returned home and went out of the city of Dean, I took the gate to the east of the city, for many of my merchants said that the people of the sun had agreed to open that gate. ”
"That's right!" The young man replied with a smile, "Maybe you don't understand what I mean, but let me tell you from a different angle, Mr. Councillor, what do you think is the best way to attack a city's trade routes?" ”
"Hmm......... Of course, all the trade routes in the city were blocked, and then people were sent to hijack all the merchants leading to the city and confiscate the products of these merchants, so that no one would trade here again. The middle-aged man muttered a little pensively, and suddenly, the middle-aged man's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at the young man with a sudden realization and shouted: "You, you mean, you say, ............ said"
"That's right, although the generals in the Mars Empire are not famous generals, but none of them are mediocre, as a high-ranking general of the Mars Empire, as long as he has access to the information given by his imperial intelligence network, he should know that the Sun Never Sets Empire is an empire that started by trade and maintains the war machine through trade, and the best way to fight the Sun Empire is to cut off their trade routes, maybe the Mars army that attacked the Edinburgh Empire did this before, but at least he didn't when you left. And............ Have you ever seen a general besiege a city that did not enclose it on all sides but only on one side? Didn't he know that this would allow Dean City to receive a steady stream of resources from Edinburgh's territory to sustain the city's soldiers? ”
"..........Okay, but His Royal Highness the Prince, I want to know what kind of truce the Sun Never Sets Empire and the Mars Empire, and now everyone knows that as long as the Emperor Mars orders an attack on Dean City, then Edinburgh, the former Ranster Imperial City that is so rich and the first city in the Northwest Continent that the sun never sets, will fall into the hands of the Mars Empire, and ............ On the day of their truce, our Warsaw Alliance hadn't attacked the northeastern defense line of the Mars Empire, right? ”
"That's one of the reasons why the teacher has issued an emergency assembly order for the councillors."
"Wait, Your Royal Highness, since the Mars Empire has ceased war with the Sunless Empire, what about the situation between the Sunset Empire and the Mishaal Empire? I remember the last time the envoy of the Mars Empire proposed to attack the Empire on which the sun never sets, and the country from which he came was none other than the Mishal Empire. A bloated councillor stood up and asked.
"This is the second reason, because just yesterday we received another message............ On July 6, the 110,000 army of the Sun Never Setting Empire defeated the 160,000 army led by the Mishar Emperor Novasv the Violent on a rough plain outside Magaburg, of which more than 120,000 people, including the most elite troops of Mishar - the Mishal Royal Axe Soldiers, were all annihilated, and the side that never set the sun did not leave a single alive, and as the defeated side, Novasev, only fled back to the territory of the Mishal Empire with less than 30,000 remnants of the defeated army. ”
"How so, doesn't it mean that the Mishaal Empire and the Mars Empire have entered into a military alliance? Why would such a thing happen, didn't the Mishaal Empire know that the Empire of Mudaumars had ceased war with the Empire on which the sun never set? The bloated middle-aged congressman said in disbelief.
"I don't know what to say, but I guess with the teacher that the Scar Emperor has not only deceived our Warsaw Alliance this time, but also estimated that their military ally the Mishal Empire has also been pitted, so to speak, the current Northwest Continent has been a mess because of the-stirring stick of Mars, and even my teacher can't take the main thing now, and the army that was about to pass through the Misharid Empire has also been withdrawn by the teacher, and this time we are called over to discuss the next ........." Just as the young man was about to continue, A panicked herald rushed into the hall and shouted, "Lord, Congressman, something is wrong!" ”
Two soldiers hurriedly stepped forward to stop the herald, but the old man waved his hand and let the herald walk up to him, and asked softly, "What happened?" ”
"No, it's not good, the sun never sets and the empire is not declaring war!"
