After the envoy left, the commander of the fortress, General Arthur Patton, stepped forward to stand on the rostrum with a solemn face, and he first inspected the officers in the audience. And this action made the relaxed atmosphere brought by the holy envoy disappear in an instant, and the officers regained their iron-blooded and strong looks, and they were all too tall to be unwanted.

"I'm not talking nonsense, the name I read below will be out at once!" General Arthur said with a straight face, in a categorical voice: "Penn Asser, George Wade, Trump......"

The general read more than forty names in one breath, most of them were officers of the logistics team, and some infantry and archers, only the officers of the cavalry detachment and the cavalry supplementary detachment were not pronounced, and even the captain of the ranger brigade was pronounced. In fact, it was precisely because of the name of the Ranger Captain that he was there, and after seeing Captain Payne being named, he stood out without any hesitation and walked to the front of the officer queue, and the other officers who were named followed out.

In addition, more than half of the more than forty names had already gone out through the small door on the left side of the rostrum in the previous choice of the Holy Messenger. Therefore, when General Arthur finished the roll call, there were only about a dozen people standing in front of the officer queue.

(Here I will give you a math of the number and distribution of officers in the fortress of Versailles.) At this time, Versailles had the following strength: 200 men in an infantry team, 300 men in half a cavalry team and half a cavalry supplement team, 300 men in a logistics team, 150 men in an archery team, 5 men in a mage squad and 80 men in the ranger brigade. The infantry corps was divided into two detachments and 10 groups, each with 20 men, with a total of 13 officers; the Versailles cavalry corps had only half a brigade, led by a detachment leader, with a group of 15 people in five groups, with a total of 6 officers; the logistics corps was divided into two detachments and 10 groups, each group of 30 men, with a total of 13 officers; the mage corps had only 1 officer; the 80 rangers were divided into 20 groups with two detachments, a group of 4 men, with a total of 23 officers, excluding the second captain of the rangers and the leader of the Burroughs, and there were only 21 roving officers present at this time; the grouping of the archers was the same as that of the cavalry, while the Versailles archers were in full formation, with a total of 13 officersThe cavalry replenishment corps, as in the cavalry corps, consisted of six officers. In the end, at this officers' meeting, there were 73 officers under the rostrum! Ladies and gentlemen, please feel free to take a look at this paragraph...... ）

When General Arthur finished the roll call, he first looked at a certain position at the back of the officer queue, and then put down the roster in his hand, and then said: "Everyone should know that the parliament of the empire has become a thing of the past, and I believe that most people should be able to guess in advance, how can the parliament without military power fight our wise and martial emperor." However, we also have to know that the bigwigs of the Imperial Parliament, their intentions are also good, and they are also for the stability of the Empire!" General Arthur paused, and looked in the stands wondering why the general suddenly spoke of the officers of the Parliament. The general smiled slightly when he saw that although the officers in the audience were full of blank expressions, they still maintained the discipline of soldiers.

"You may be wondering why I am here to talk about the Parliament, and to praise the Parliament so openly, and to say that the Parliamentary bigwigs have good intentions. Actually, these are the exact words of the emperor, and the emperor commented on the parliament, and the emperor, like the parliament, wants to make the empire stable. This is our emperor, our wise and great emperor, even if it is a hostile force, the emperor will also affirm the correctness of the other party. General Arthur looked up again at the back of the officer queue and nodded slightly at the spot.

"And now, the pattern of our empire is destined to be unable to guarantee the stability of the empire!" General Arthur swung his left hand into the void with a forceful slash, as if slashing some kind of invisible beam bo.

"The threat to the stability of the empire is not what the council thinks, it only comes from within, and the greater threat should be from the outside, the enemy countries around us! They are always eyeing us! As long as we relax a little, they will bite our throats like demonic beasts!" The general said this, extremely indignant: "I! We! Our empire needs a strong emperor to lead, Atlant V, the current emperor, he is such a figure! He will lead our empire to strength!"

Speaking of this, General Arthur Patton paused, and he couldn't help but think of the situation that the Holy Envoy had just told him: "The northern nobles in the army, except for Payne Yasser, all have to die! This is the emperor's order! The northern nobles did not obey the emperor's arrangement before, and when they first established Versailles, they wanted to occupy Versailles and obtain the trade route north of Versailles. Later, the tripartite meeting decided that the logistics materials of Versailles should be borne by the nobles of the northern border, but they did not obey them, and were given five orders by the emperor to make up for the logistics materials for three months, and they had already owed a year's logistics materials to Versailles at that time! The most hateful and important thing is that when the nobles of the southern border obeyed the emperor's order to abolish the private army system, the nobles of the northern territory actually expanded the scale of their private army! The emperor was extremely angry about this, and wanted to kill them and then hurry up!

When the Emissary spoke of this, Arthur Barton still remembered how angry the Emissary's face was, very different from the usual expression of the Emissary.

"The emperor's plan this time to make the collapse of the council disappear is only the first step, and there are still orcs and nobles in the north behind! You'll be working behind enemy lines in the Beast Forest, and any hidden dangers should be eliminated before then. The Holy Envoy reverted to his usual expression, and said in a calm tone to General Arthur Patton, who was still nodding his head and still in a cold sweat, and the Holy Envoy even patted General Arthur on the shoulder.

"Before, you did very badly in dealing with Burroughs, and the news that Burroughs had the whole plan was passed on to him by the people who were placed by the council around the emperor, so he had to die, but now that he has run away and there is no news of the emperor's plan, then it has nothing to do with the overall situation, don't worry about him anymore. As he spoke, the envoy took out a pamphlet from his bosom, he patted the pamphlet with his hand and continued: "This is the list of northern nobles in your Versailles garrison, and I will lead some of the undetermined ones to the small courtyard next to solve them later, and the rest depends on your performance." I hope you don't let me, let the emperor down again. Be bold! Kill the officers who are not nobles from the North! Make these officers nervous too! So that you can lead the team in the dangerous missions that follow!"......

wrote a lot, in fact, General Arthur recalled for a while, he wanted to directly execute those noble officers of the northern realm who were named, but he unconsciously said a lot, as if he wanted to explain the reasons to other officers, and as if he was cheering himself up. At this point, General Arthur sighed, looked up at somewhere behind the officer queue, raised his right hand and swung it down again.

"Boom ......" Many armor-piercing arrows flashing with a faint cold light flew out from the back of the officer queue, and plunged straight into the officers who were standing in front of the officer queue, these more than a dozen northern noble officers, except for Payne Yasser, were extremely shocked, they were basically hit by the vital point, no matter how strong they used to be, at this time they were only gradually moving towards death in pain...... One of them, George Wade, the captain of the infantry detachment, did not understand by this time that it was his commander who had been very obedient to him who gave him a death order, and he even extended his hand to General Arthur Patton before he died, wanting the general to leave quickly, dangerous ......

"I!Arthur Patton, the supreme commander of the fortress of Versailles, from now on, completely obey the emperor's orders and follow in the footsteps of the emperor!For the Empire!" When Tori, the captain of General Arthur's personal team, rushed into the hall with the soldiers of his personal army after the rain of arrows, and stabbed to death the noble officers of the northern border who were still dying, General Arthur faced the imperial capital and solemnly shouted "For the Empire".

After General Arthur finished shouting, he looked at all the remaining officers with bloodthirsty red eyes and asked loudly, "What about you!"

"From now on, we will completely obey the Emperor's orders and follow in the Emperor's footsteps!" shouted the remaining officers in the audience, led by Payne Yasser, who was the last to stand in the forefront.

"For the Empire!"

"For the Empire!"

In the early hours of the morning, as soon as the dawn appeared in the sky, the fortress of Versailles, located in the south of the Warcraft Forest, opened the northern gate, and three groups of rangers immediately rode out of the open gate.

The first group was led by the leader of the first detachment of the rangers, and when they entered the Warcraft Forest and embarked on the "Shock and Awe Road", the captain's originally extremely serious face suddenly turned into a frightened look.

"My Demon Sun (referring to the sister star of the sun, the source of the world's magic power, the dark red 'moon' that Du Yi saw before, is equivalent to 'my sky' here)" The team leader exclaimed exaggeratedly: "This night is too exciting and crazy!"

"Hmm......" The leader of the first group, who followed the detachment leader on a gray horse, also replied in a sentimental tone.

"Especially the officer meeting, Lao Tzu is terrified when I think about it now, when I saw a dozen northern officers killed, I almost screamed in fright!"

"Hmm......" the team leader continued to answer with an "um", looking a little absent-minded.

"You...... You shit, haven't you come back to your senses yet?" The team leader looked back at the quieter team leader strangely, so many such big things happened in one night, this team leader can still calm down?

"No, I'm wondering how big the Emperor's plan really is. The team leader looked around and saw that it was impossible for outsiders to hear them, so he shouted in the same voice as the team leader, knowing that they were riding horses at this time, and if the voice was quiet, it was equivalent to not speaking. It is said that the team leader speaks in a weekday volume, but the team leader has to shout......

"What do you want to do so much, you should think about so many of us, what to eat before the "fighter" that the holy envoy said comes!" After the captain finished speaking, he tightened the saber on his horseback, this guy is his future eater.

"It's good to choose to stay in Versailles, you don't have to go out to eat and sleep, but you may lose face. The team leader continued without waiting for the team leader's reply.

"Squad leader, you ......" the team leader stopped talking.

"What's wrong with me? If you have something to say, just say it, there's no one else around!" The detachment leader thinks that his subordinates are smart and smart, but they can always talk halfway and whet people's appetites.

"Don't you still think those people are still alive? Don't you remember that when the Holy Envoy first arrived in our Versailles, he was torn apart on the spot by five horses because one of the team leaders said, 'It's good to have a council in the Empire'......" The team leader looked behind him again, and after finding that he could only see his remaining two team members, he explained a little helplessly.

The "......" detachment leader finally understood, and he suddenly felt a little afraid, thinking that if it wasn't for the team leader holding him at that time, he might ...... He thought that the team leader pulled him in order not to let him lose face, and even the team leader himself was embarrassed......

After thinking about it, the team leader listened to this team leader for a long time......

Their Ranger Brigade had an extremely important task in this "retreat", scouting routes, finding places to be stationed, eliminating traces of the team's movements, and so on. After the detachment leader calmed down, he had a headache at the thought of this, so he had to look at the group leader who was contemplating while riding again......
