The province of Cizera, in the northwest of Santa Vickya, is a province bordering foreign borders and is where the death of Mafia Shili is most rampant. In the city of Londan in this province, Celeste Shadow wandered around a casino and looked at a middle-aged man with blond hair from a distance: "Is this the person?"

Pate was sent by the Criminals' Gate to assist Shadow in handling matters, and he stood beside Shadow and nodded and whispered, "The golden-haired man is Reed Pike, the right-hand man of Death Mafia, named Soman. I heard from local officials that this guy once killed thirteen people in Longdan City because of a conflict with people for gambling money, and now the people in Longdan City are as scared when they see him as if they are ghosts. ”

Ying said: "He has killed so many people, and he dares to gamble here with such a swagger, won't the officials of the city government arrest him?"

Pate said: "Don't dare to arrest it, Death Mafia has been doing evil in Cizerla Province for many years, and the local officials dare not speak out against them, and if the people who captured them annoyed them, Death Mafia can do such a thing as bloodbathing the town." ”

"Bloodbathed town. Oh, dare to do such a rampant thing, but it's a complete black and evil shili. ”

"The province of Cizerla is close to the border, and the main shili of the dead Mafia is here," Pate said. Local officials said that their members were spread across the two neighboring provinces, and that the government had sent troops to encircle and suppress them in the early years, but that there were many people who had died, and that they had been entrenched in local villages and cities, or that they had fled the country and were reduced to zero. It is also difficult for the army to clear out. But in recent years they have become more and more rampant. Four years ago, the local army also had two purges, but Death Mafia not only did not escape, but defeated the army, and now Cizera is not so much in charge of the imperial government as in the rule of Death Mafia, and even the local officials dare not easily provoke them. ”

Ying looked at it and smiled: "That's the power of the local tyrants to threaten the central government." Now that the civil war is over, and the foreign war is about to subside, such a thing is absolutely not allowed to exist in the Holy Biktian Empire. Hmph, their end is near. Pater. Let's get out of here first. ”

......

In the council hall of the royal palace of Sombra City, the ministers and officials of the deliberations were discussing the battle situation on the front line, each expressing their own opinions.

"Bixia, a truce is an immediate priority for the Empire right now. The civil war in the royal capital has just ended. The empire's internal and foreign affairs need to be repaired and repaired, and although the front line is now defeated, the agreed truce still has to be carried out according to Jihua, giving the empire a chance to breathe. ”

Another minister also said: "I think the Chancellor of the Exchequer has a point. The rebellion of the Prince of Judgment has brought great harm to the imperial power, and what Bixia needs to regain power in the empire is to stabilize the power, and the stability of the country needs to allow the common people to recuperate and live in peace, and maintaining stability in the country is the most important. During the reign of Zalborg, the empire was full of powerful and evil. The local population suffered, and if the people at home were not given a stable environment, the empire would suffer far more than the current border war. ”

A general stood up and said, "I have a different opinion on this lord. At this time, the truce to the Demon Moon is tantamount to suing for peace, and the Demon Moon has now defeated our army and captured countless Chinese officers and soldiers, and will definitely take advantage of this to open conditions to the Empire, and even ask us to sign some treaties that are unfavorable to the Empire. If Bixia sued Moyue for peace in this way as soon as he overthrew Zalberg's regime, it would not only be a heavy blow to the morale of the military and civilians, but also the greatest threat to Bixia's majesty and power stability. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, someone on the other side immediately said, "General, you are not right." The empire is in a hurry for peace, yes. But the Demon Moon side is also eager for peace talks. It has been a few months since the millions of troops of the Gripen Empire in the western border of the Demon Moon Kingdom have been marching eastward, and compared to the small conflict in the southern border, the Demon Moon wants to concentrate its efforts as soon as possible and make every effort to deal with this country that has been trying to invade. Therefore, in this peace talks after the armistice, Moyue will even mention some unfavorable conditions. It will not be too much, they are as eager for a truce and peace as we are. ”...,

"You all have a point. But some of you say it should be stopped, some people say it should be stopped, and what is the point of the war? Governor Monica, what do you think?"

Monica said: "My opinion is similar to that of several adults, but the truce is more beneficial to the Empire." ”

Radha nodded, and then asked, "Governor Merlot, do you have any disagreement?"

Governor Merlot thought for a moment and said, "The armistice agreement was proposed by our country to Moyue, and I am afraid it will not be good to regret it at this time." ”

"Yes, yes, Governor Merlot mentioned the key. Before the Holy Garden mediated the war, Zalberg had already deceived the magic moon once, this time the truce was proposed by our side first, if you regret it, it will be very bad for my country's image in Shijie. A minister said.

At the conference table, Duane watched the gossip of the crowd, and he swept over each official one by one. There were many officials who came to discuss this time, and there were many officials from the royal capital and generals from the Southern Army, but there was no Dark Wu Hou, and there was no one of Dark Wu Hou's subordinates.

Radat frowned, although all the ministers expressed their opinions, he still hesitated in his heart, not knowing how to decide. He looked at Duane, who had not spoken, and asked, "Duane, you have not spoken, do you have any different opinions?"

Duane shook his head: "I have no opinion. ”

Radat said: "Okay, the meeting will be suspended for a moment, it is already noon, and everyone will continue to discuss after lunch." ”

In the afternoon, Radat strolls through the gardens, hesitating and pondering his thoughts. Duane watched from afar, and had already figured out what to say.

"Well, Duane. When Ladat turned around, he saw Duane coming this way: "Is there something wrong with you coming to the garden?"

Du An bowed his head and said, "Bixia, I listened to what the ministers said during today's discussion, and I really didn't think about Bixia." ”

"Oh?

Du An said: "Bixia, most of the ministers advocate armistice and peace talks, ostensibly for the sake of national stability. For the sake of peaceing the war disaster. But they only thought about the state power in their hearts, and did not take into account your situation. Since Bixia came to the throne, the royal power has been held hostage by the Prince of Judgment, and the state government and military affairs are all in charge of Zalberg alone, and the nobles and commoners in the country only know the merits of the Prince of Judgment, and do not know that there is your prestige. In addition, Zalberg has been ambitious over the years, and Bixia has been indulging in wine to confuse the prince to show weakness to him in order to protect herself. In particular, the aristocracy created an unpleasant impression. Under such circumstances, Bixia is back in charge of the country, and there is no doubt that there is a lot of distrust and suspicion among the people in the country, and now Bixia has just put down the rebellion. It is the time for the Chinese people to re-examine Bixia you, if this time Bixia asks for peace with the Demon Moon in a defeated manner...... Bixia, people are confused. The people in the country will definitely think that if it is the convicted prince Zalberg, this battle will not be lost, let alone humiliating peace. ”

Radat sighed: "Duan, Duane, you said these things to what I am most worried about." I did propose the peace talks, and I did want to stop this senseless war, but at that time Fried fought back at the front and won a great victory, and he also occupied the Vulcan Mountains, so that the war was stopped. Our army can also be glorious and triumphant. But now that I'm defeated, the blame for the defeat will definitely be on my head, and that's just what I'm worried about. ”

"I know what Bixia's other concern is. Du An stepped forward and whispered, "What you're still worried about is Dark Martial Hou Yanlong, right?"

You go on. ”

Du An said: "The discord between the Marquis of Dark Wu and Bixia is something that everyone knows, and Bixia has transferred him to the rainforest wasteland for many years, but he still shows such a strong appeal in this battle of the royal capital, which is really shocking." Fortunately, this time he came to quell the rebellion, and it is really difficult to say that he came to rebel and coup d'état, and those generals in the country will not follow him. To bridge the influence of these two people in St. Vicia. Bixia, this battle on the front line can't end in defeat no matter what, only in this way can the people know that without these two people, the empire will still be stable and strong. Only in this way can people remember and know your prestige!"...,

Radat looked at him for a long time before he said, "You really speak to my heart." I had to establish my authority. Otherwise, the country would still be out of my control. However, the armistice must have been brought up by me first, and if I renege on it, not only will there be discussion among the masses, but it will also have a serious impact on the international community. ”

Du An said: "Bixia, you are too worried about this. As for diplomatic influence, these should be handled by diplomats, and they have their own ways to deal with them, otherwise they are not worthy of this? Moreover, as long as you win this war, and then negotiate peace with Moyue on fair terms, you can also save the image of many countries. Of course, this is just my personal opinion, but Bixia, your stable royal power and the temporary image of the country, which is more important than the other, I think you can judge in your heart. ”

"Hiss~!" Radat took a deep breath and pondered. After a moment he asked, "But can we win this battle?"

Du An said: "Whether you can win or not, this bixia shouldn't ask me, you have to ask those generals." However, as the Minister of Parliament said, at this time, the Demon Moon border is being overwhelmed by the millions of troops of the Holy Gripen Empire, and it was impossible to achieve such an effect before, because the troops sent by our country are not enough to make the Demon Moon panic, as long as we can use more troops from the empire to attack, the Demon Moon will be attacked on both sides and will inevitably be defeated. And I dare to conclude that even if the Demon Moon is dissatisfied with our country, it will propose peace talks to us, because the strength of Santa Vicia and the Demon Moon is equal and evenly matched, and it is impossible for the Demon Moon to defeat our army in a short period of time. And the Lion Eagle Empire has been intending to enter the hinterland of the Demon Moon eastward for many years, and it is the henchmen of the Demon Moon Country, so the Demon Moon can only take the way of fighting in the south and west to resolve the domestic crisis, so that your prestige will be established from now on. ”

Radat asked, "But what if the battle is defeated?"

"Defeat is just peace talks, and the worst result is to return to the current situation, and it will not be any worse. Demon Moon doesn't have the ability to eat our S. Viktia in one fell swoop. ”

After hearing this, Radat nodded: "Well, what you said is very reasonable, the battle with the Demon Moon is imperative, and it can't be over! However, now that there are not many generals around me who can be trusted, who should I send to fight? ”

Du An said: "Bixia, the time of the council is coming, it is better to let the ministers help think about it." ”

"Okay, go to the council chamber. ”
