The war has made the empire in the midst of storms even more turbulent.

Soaring prices and a deteriorating security environment have made the lives of the people of the imperial capital Suke City worse, and the imperial authorities have no care to solve this problem because of its internal contradictions and external wars.

Slowly, skyrocketing prices began to affect the aristocracy of the empire, and the low-level commoners who could not survive began to look at the nobles who ruled them.

As a result, kidnappings and robberies began to occur among the nobles, and the agents of the guard were tired of coping, but few were able to solve the cases, because the prisoners were ordinary civilians who had never paid attention to before, who could be robbers at night but stay in the workshop during the day.

The traditional aristocracy began to accuse the merchants of raising prices for causing this series of incidents, and the imperial authorities did not have any laws to deal with such incidents, and the result turned into an armed conflict between the traditional nobles and the merchants.

Some time ago, the bloodshed under the imperial treasury building intensified the contradictions between merchants and nobles.

It seems that an even larger conflict is slowly coalescing...

And in the Empire's war with the Orcs, with the fall of the Klan Lords and the inaction of the Central Empire, the prestige of the Danediv family in the Empire was minimized, and many traditional nobles in the Imperial Capital and on the Suker Plains even began to openly question the rule of Emperor Laubert.

But then, an undercurrent hits, carrying a bloody butcher's knife...

It was Emperor Laubert who raised his butcher's knife!

This butcher's knife made all the nobles keep their mouths shut.

The butcher's knife brought calm back to everything, followed by a frequent 'good news' that spread throughout the city once a day, and unsuspecting civilians cheered loudly every day...

As time passed, civilians began to look at the 'good news' coldly.

As for the nobles, although they closed their mouths under the butcher's knife of His Majesty the Emperor, the movements in their hands did not stop, but became more frequent.

A conspiracy is slowly unfolding around the Lion Castle.

On October 13, while the forces of the empire were secretly competing, 10,000 officers and men of the Yekjar Military Port, led by Rear Admiral Sir Arvis, suddenly entered the city of Suke.

On the morning of the same day, Duke Eric, the Minister of War of the Empire, rushed back to the imperial capital and held a brief meeting on behalf of the Imperial Prime Minister Duke Nick in the military headquarters building.

In the afternoon, Duke Eric met with the Empress and Prince Sinda.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, an hour after Duke Eric's meeting with the Empress Mother and Son, Earl Templez, commander of the Imperial Capital City Defense Battalion, received an order from the Imperial Cabinet to assign him to the post of Chief of Operations Logistics.

However, the Earl of Templez, who received the order, refused to accept the order on the grounds that it lacked a warrant from the Emperor.

After receiving the reply from Earl Temple, Duke Eric, who was in charge of the overall situation in Lion Castle, commented indifferently: "A loyal soldier, it's a pity..."

At dinner, Earl Temples was poisoned and died.

Early the next morning, Prince Sinda went to the Imperial Capital Defense Camp to take charge of the only military force in the Imperial Capital that now possessed heavy weapons, and at the same time, Rear Admiral Sir Arvis was appointed by the War Department as the Chief of the War Headquarters, and was ordered by the War Department to take up his post on the same day.

It is worth mentioning that the military department actually let Baron Pedi, the commander-in-chief of the northern frontier of the empire, who is thousands of miles away, concurrently serve as the naval commander of the Yekjar military port, and the reason for his appointment is that the battle between the Northern Frontier campaign and the goblin fleet requires the cooperation of the Yekjar military port!

A reasonable appointment... Isn't it?

On the third day of Duke Eric's arrival in the imperial capital, on October 15.

Rumors began among the upper nobility of the empire that Emperor Laubert had been killed in battle, and that the cabinet was negotiating an armistice with the orcs.

This news was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the chest of the nobles.

Soon, the rumors spread like a virus among all levels of the empire, and Duke Eric's urgent gag order did not have the slightest effect.

So much so that Duke Eric finally had to follow the laws of the empire and hold a hearing.

On the afternoon of October 16.

The antechamber of the Lion Castle was held where the hearings on the rumors of the Imperial Capital that 'Emperor Laubert had died'.

At the hearing, Duke Eric took out a magical photograph of His Majesty the Emperor inspecting the frontline battlefield on the steppe of the Zeferlo steppe, which had just arrived, and delivered a handwritten letter from Emperor Laubert on the spot.

Then, Duke Eric stated on behalf of the cabinet that the Empire would not engage in peace talks of any nature with the orcs.

The nobles were skeptical of the evidence presented by Duke Eric.

However, quarrels were inevitable, but not between Duke Eric and the nobles, but between the traditional nobles and the merchant aristocracy.

In front of Duke Eric, the two sides counted each other's mistakes, and in the end even turned into a group fight!

Duke Eric ignored the 'show' of both parties, and the Duke of an indifferent one declared at the end of the hearing that the Empire would enter a state of all-out war on October 20.

The state of total war in the empire means that the official of the empire has the right to require every citizen of the empire to join the war against the orcs, that is, even if it is an imperial noble, the cabinet has the right to force them to join the army or increase the taxes of the territory, and the merchants must unconditionally support this war.

This news, for the nobles of the empire, is even more shocking than the death of Emperor Laubert, after all, after the emperor dies in battle, they will soon usher in a new emperor, but the empire enters a full-scale war, which means that they must sacrifice everything they have to fight to the death for this war!

It is not a matter of order for the empire to enter a state of all-out war, which must be approved by half of the nobles in the upper echelons of the empire, signed by the six dukes, unanimously approved by the cabinet, and then the nod of His Majesty the Emperor is considered legal.

The nobles who participated in the hearing did not dare to question the legitimacy of this decree, because almost all the nobles of the upper echelons of the empire were in Kwyn Town, and the six dukes were now Duke Eric and Duke Nick, and the cabinet?

But at the same time, the nobles began to feel the unusual attack of the orcs, before that, they had never thought that the empire would lose this war, and the nobles' idea that the imperial capital was an absolutely safe area gradually began to waver.

...

While Duke Eric was busy cleaning up the mess left behind by Emperor Rubot's fall from his horse, Pedi had already finished negotiating with the orcs.

An open field outside of Fort Byan is the final place where the orcs sign their surrender.

The management of the Morinda Old Overseer and the Expeditionary Force Command were almost all present at the final surrender ceremony, and the nearly 30,000 remaining orc soldiers of the three banner regiments had come to terms with this fact in the past few days.

However, all of this is due to Morinda Elder Overseer, who promised Peidi a stable situation and did not break his promise... Although, in order to maintain this situation, the old Overseers personally executed nearly 100 middle and low-level officers who were unwilling to surrender.

Looking at the nearly 100 bloody heads, even the son of the old overseer of Morinda showed dissatisfaction, and he couldn't help but say to his father as he looked at the soldiers' puzzled and slightly hateful eyes: "They now regard you as an enemy, but not a commander. ”

"Many years later, they will thank me from the bottom of their hearts. Morinda smiled, not caring about the eldest son's words.

Pedi was very pleased with what the old orc had done, and for this reason, he restrained his generals in the later negotiations and signing ceremonies.

At Pedi's suggestion, Morinda Overseer and his management were to be escorted to the bunker at Fort Kaval alone, and the only orc general who served with the orc surrendered soldiers was their chief of staff, Dunmu, which Morinda requested, and Pedi agreed to take into account the emotional problems of the orc soldiers and the small unrest that had just erupted.

Nearly 30,000 orcs of the expeditionary force are working in the same place they destroyed the Jamici grassland, and in the next few years, they will need to work with the magicians to restore the grassland to its pre-flood appearance.

...

The signing ceremony was not very grand, and in order to take care of the emotions of the orcs, there were less than ten people involved, and most of them could only watch from the periphery.

'Rustle'

Under the direction of the Foreign Officer, Sir Bipp, Pedy signed his name in the lower right corner of a beautifully crafted piece of parchment and stamped it with the Reagan family insignia, while the Orc Expeditionary Commander, Morinda Overseer, was quick to put pen to paper.

The two men stopped writing at about the same time, and then the two commanders looked at each other, and from then on, the nearly four-month battle of Kru led ended with the surrender of the orc expeditionary force...

The magician Collier was clever enough to record the moment with a magic projection.

"Congratulations, Baron Pedi, although it is a pity, you have indeed won this war. The Morinda Overseer had a look of decline on his face.

"You made the right choice. Pedi always had a smile on his face.

Morinda shook his head, said no more, turned and walked towards the prisoner cart waiting for him in the distance.

"We won, sir. "Sir Bipp, the Foreign Officer, seems to be happier than Peddy.

Baron Danmen smiled, "It seems that the orcs are also quite smart. ”

"A wise old man. Treasurer Baron Aemond commented.

"We didn't kill them ourselves, but it seemed better for us. Pedy's gaze fell on Baron Aemond, "The next step is to negotiate with the goblins, I think that if we end the war with the orcs early, our negotiations should go more smoothly." ”

Baron Aemond's shrewdness appeared on his face, and he forced a smile and said: "This is natural, but I don't want to negotiate with the goblins so much now, perhaps, we should wait for the war reports from the Combined Fleet to come before making a decision." ”

"You're always so cunning. Sir Bipp, the Foreign Officer, smiled.

The Don Wright Paladin had already put away the agreement signed by the two parties at this time, and was about to hand it to Pedi, but Pedi shook his head and said, "You put it away, this is the result of your busy half a month." ”

After the signing ceremony, Pedi did not look at the so-called agreement with his eyes.

"I'll save it. Don Wright shrugged his shoulders and solemnly put away the two rolls of fine parchment under the mocking eyes of a group of nobles. ()
