The thousand-year-old Covenant Empire may really respond to the disaster, and the troubles encountered are one after another, one after another.

Accompanied by the tyrant Boudris. Deen's strong ascension to the throne has long been not an iron plate within the empire, after all, the emperor's ascension to the throne has actually damaged the interests of a large part of the nobility. It's just that due to the strength and coercion of this pure white emperor, those old aristocratic forces just dare to be angry but dare not speak, of course, some small actions behind the scenes naturally did not stop, and it is precisely because of this that the new emperor is determined to eradicate the imperial tumor and make the Millennium Covenant Empire a real dictatorial empire.

Those who can ascend to the throne of God naturally do not have simple roles.

Originally, according to Budris's plan, at most it only played some twists and turns, after all, the prestige of the Star Tower was not a joke. But what he didn't expect was that this should have been a peaceful sweep without danger, but with the sudden collapse of the Star Tower, the situation was eroded. If it weren't for the two dukes of East and North Germany, Boudris would probably be very distressed, but this still made him feel very annoyed, and even had to make Pusius . Zoandon came to take charge of putting the situation in order in the south.

Originally, Budris thought that everything should be over smoothly at this point, and he just let the empire have one more Duke of Nandern, but considering the seniority and experience of the veteran Pusius, he has nothing to complain about.

But at this time, the undead plague broke out, and this was not an ordinary undead plague, but the door of the heterotopic plane of the corpse plane was opened.

Budris's annoyance can be imagined.

What made him even more angry and helpless was that the army of the undead who ran out of the bone plane was indeed no longer as easy to deal with as the brainless fools who had broken out of the death tide before. As a result, in less than half a month, the entire empire lost nearly one-seventh of its territory. The number of casualties exceeded 800,000, and all communication with the Savage Fortress and its surrounding territories was severed.

Presently. The Imperial War Department was in a state of disarray.

However, from the noisy noise, Bendries could probably hear clearly that it was divided into three factions.

The first faction. The largest number of people were the one who advocated the abandonment of imperial infighting and the return of those who rebelled to the imperial banner of the Millennium Covenant. Their reason is also very simple, that is, the current situation is no longer suitable for continuing the infighting, because the speed of the undead army this time is too fast, far beyond their expectations, with more than 800,000 casualties in less than half a month.

And it is clear that Putius, who had been promoted to Duke of Nandern a few days ago. Zoandon was also caught off guard in this dead tide.

At the time, he was encircling an important rebel stronghold in the southern part of the empire, and the battle between the two sides was almost over. For the Duke of Nandern, the fruits of victory were within reach. But unexpectedly, at this time, an undead cavalry legion was suddenly killed, and as a result, not only did the fruit fly, but even the army under the command of the Duke of Nandern was severely damaged, and even the battlefield that was the original melee between the three armies has now become an absolute death ground - the rebels and Pusius have withdrawn thirty miles overnight.

Now, that part of the rebels naturally survived because of this, and they were not really annihilated, but their situation was not very good. It can basically be said that it is caught in a heavy encirclement. But no matter what the Millennial Covenant Empire thinks, along with this rebel army, there are three provinces in the south of the empire, which are millions of people - the battlefield where the final battle between Pusius and the rebels was fought was nowhere else, and it happened to be the only transportation hub between the three southern provinces of the empire and the other southern provinces of the empire.

The same. This pivot point is also one of the key travel points on the way to the Savage Fortress.

In this way, there is a certain point of view with the people of the second faction: rescue the Savage Fortress.

The first faction advocates forgoing infighting, arguing that the current situation requires the entire empire to work together. The rebels can be forgiven from the death penalty for rebellion, but they must also atone for their crimes. After regaining the three southern provinces of the empire and the transportation hubs of the outside world, he immediately organized a vanguard army. Set off for the Savage Fortress.

The second faction and the third faction agree on some views: they believe that the rebels are a group of dissidents, especially at a time when the empire is facing a major crisis, and that such a group of ill-intentioned people must not be allowed to be in the rear, let alone accept their submission.

It's just that the people of the third faction think that since even the transportation hubs of the three southern provinces have been captured, it is obvious that the Savage Fortress must have fallen, after all, after coming out of the Forest of Sighs, it will not take long for the Savage Fortress to go north. Only when the Savage Fortress is lost, can the undead cavalry legion enter the battlefield of Pusius and the rebels for a long time, inflicting heavy losses on both sides.

Therefore, their proposition was to immediately abandon the rescue of the Barbarian Fortress from the north, and instead let the Duke of Nanden immediately build a new defensive line in the south of the empire. As for the plan for the construction of the defensive line, they believe that abandoning the three southern provinces is the best choice, anyway, with only one import and export restriction, it is only a matter of time before all the rebels in the three southern provinces, including the rebels hiding inside, are dead, and it is even very likely that by the time they meet, all the people in the three southern provinces will be dead.

The second faction, while also believing that it was impossible to re-admit the rebels, considered the rescue of the three southern provinces and the Barbarian Fortresses to be a very important strategic plan - mainly because the three southern provinces were the food base of the southern part of the empire, and a large part of the southern territory, including the Barbarian Fortresses, depended on the three southern provinces for food. If the three southern provinces are lost, then the entire south will soon fall into a state of food shortage, and if it is relied on transportation from other parts of the empire, this supply line will be extended, and the consumption of military resources for the empire can be imagined.

With the exception of the third faction, which has the least supporters, the first and second factions have similar supporters.

The main reason for this state of affairs is that the first faction was voiced by the now newly promoted Duke of Nandern, Pusius. Zoandon.

The veteran was hit hard by the Legion of the Undead Cavalry. and the excessive erosion of the situation in the south, his current situation can be described as somewhat dire. And most importantly. The armies of the undead were still wreaking havoc across the south of the South, cutting many provinces into enclaves. can only barely stay alone, and there are some captive livestock patterns. Therefore, out of the idea of uniting all available forces, the veteran wanted to get the rebels into his camp, so that he could immediately form a counterattack and avoid further deterioration.

But it is a pity that the second faction is supported by the Duke of Dondeen, who is not weaker than the veteran in terms of fame, strength, status, etc., and Popocas, who is ranked fourth among the ten generals. Commander of Handinelle.

Originally, he was supposed to immediately take over the command of Pusius. Inflict a heavy blow on the rebels and thus settle the rebel situation once and for all. But he didn't expect that before he arrived at the battlefield, the eastern part of the empire was attacked by the tide of demonic beasts, and there were also extremely tragic casualties, and even the passages between the eastern and central and southern parts of the empire were cut off by the army of the undead. For this reason, he had to rush to the east to take command, and finally clamped down on the tide of demonic beasts before the situation deteriorated completely, and reopened the road to the rear.

It's just that in this way, he hopes even more that the Duke of Nandern can push the battle line forward and form a horn with him. Reduces considerable stress. In this way, the forward push of the battle line is also inevitable, so the recovery of the Barbarian Fortress is a very important key point, and because the empire is about to launch two fronts. It is even possible that the third- and fourth-line operations will be carried out, so the three southern provinces, which are the grain bases, must be recovered as soon as possible.

In a way, among the three best generals of the Millennium Covenant Empire. There are two people who agree on the idea of thinking at the strategic level.

Merely. Bopocas, Duke of East Germany, did not trust the rebels - this time it would have been impossible for the undead army of the Dead to cut off the road between the eastern and southern parts of the Empire had it not been for the small rebel army that had revolted in the eastern part of the Empire. And if it weren't for that. The Duke's losses were to be reduced by at least half, so based on this consideration, it is understandable that Bopocas had a dislike for the rebels.

Bundries rubbed his temples with a headache, and then suddenly said, "Is there any news from Angel?" ”

His voice wasn't loud, but it reverberated well throughout the chamber, ringing in everyone's ears.

The originally noisy sound suddenly fell silent.

After a while, a man with a small beard stood up and said, "Judging from the direction of His Highness Angel's whereabouts before, it should have gone to the Wild Land. And a month before the outbreak of the Death Wave, the Savage Fortress had reported that the main force of the Frost Legion had entered the Savage Land through the Fortress and launched a defensive formation, as if it was intercepting something. …… According to the information gathered by our intelligence department, the only person who could pass through the Savage Fortress at that time was a secret logistics unit of the rebels. ”

"Find her!" Boudris said in a deep voice.

Suddenly, everyone in the entire council hall knew about Budris's plan tendency.

After a moment of silence, the third group of speakers immediately turned to support the opinion of Bopocas, the commander of the thousand-year-old Covenant Empire, and the pressure on Pusius naturally increased.

The recapture of the three southern provinces is the top priority, so the counterattack on the transportation hub is the first thing the Duke of Nandern has to do.

At this point, there is nothing worth discussing and arguing about.

The only difference is what to do with the rebels who are currently hiding in the three southern provinces.

"Duke Pusius, can you guarantee that you will be able to persuade the rebels to surrender?" Budris spoke again, his voice faint, but with an unmistakable majesty.

"I can't guarantee it, but I'm willing to do my best." Pusius thought for a moment, and then spoke, "The current situation in the south is too erosive, I really don't have many available troops at my disposal, if I rely on reinforcements from other provinces and lords, it will definitely be too late in time, at least I can't organize a counterattack of sufficient scale in a short time." …… Based on my experience over the years, if you can't have a strong enough counterattack, then you are just growing into a dead tide. ”

"What if those rebels don't know what to do?"

"Then I will not show mercy." Pu Hughes. "I am well aware of the unity of decision-making in war, so I will never make a mistake in this regard," said the Duke of Zoandon. ”

"Then do what you want." "But if you fail, you'll have to pay the price of punishment." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Pusius immediately stood up and saluted.

Seeing that the debated discussion was finally over, the people in the chamber moved on to the next topic. However, the next issues have nothing to do with the Duke of Nandern, and they are basically related to matters in the east and north of the empire, including dealing with neighboring countries, as well as receiving reinforcements from all sides, and so on.

At this moment, the Duke of Nandern's spirit relaxed a little.

No one knew that the hand that Pusius had placed under the table couldn't help but clench a little.

He will do his best to insist on organizing a large-scale counterattack immediately and in a short time, and he will not be merely worried about the erosion of the situation in the south. In the same way, he is also worried about the future of the Zoandon family: not to mention that the current Nandern Territory has fallen into the hands of the undead army, and even the future heir of the Zoandon family is now missing.

The success of Hashas was already known to Pusius, so his succession was naturally mentioned in the first order. As for his two strongest contenders, they naturally fell to the second and third sequences. Originally, if Hashas's current whereabouts were unknown, then the heirs in the second and third lines were also very much in line with Pusius's vision, and it was not impossible to promote them, anyway, they were all for the Zoandon family.

However, these three heirs all went to the wilderness because they sniped the secret reinforcements of the rebels, and the tide of death broke out so suddenly, blocking the road, so that the whereabouts of the three heirs were unknown at the same time. At present, in addition to these three heirs, the Zoandon family has no other heirs from the next generation, and even Pusius's sons and daughters are not able to take over the shift, so this prompts him to regain the lost ground in a short time.

At the very least, the road between the current family domain and the Savage Fortress should be cleared.

Because Pusius knows very well that he is eighty-five years old, and he may really not have a few years to live, and it is unknown whether he can see the end of this dead tide. So at this time, he would never allow the Zoandon family to fall into a leaderless situation, so he even did not hesitate to argue with Bopocas. (To be continued.) )
