Chapter 222: The Secret Order of the Empire

Sean gathered everyone around him to discuss the search for the rebels, and by the way, he also discussed the fact that Latina had discovered that there were more displaced people recently.

Harry and Luke have also been keeping a close eye on the movements of the cities around Oro City for some time, in fact, they have long been concerned about the potential for rebels, including outsiders, homeless, workers or travelers, and airship staff, almost any character who may be disguised by the other party.

But it was precisely because it was too comprehensive that I couldn't find any clues, so I didn't report to myself for the past few days, and it wasn't until now that the two of them admitted that they were also concerned......

However, the two are different from Latina.

They saw the displaced people coming, and even secretly sent people to investigate.

In fact, many people are really homeless and want to come to Oro City to have a bowl of food, and even if there are really rebel members among them, it is estimated that it is difficult to find them.

"There are more than 500,000 people in the Oro area, and if you add the surrounding towns and nearby villages, there may be close to **100,000 people, so much population, we can't send people to investigate one by one, and if the rebels are scattered and mixed in, it will be difficult for us to find them. Luke spoke out of the frustration of the moment.

"It's not hard to find ...... It's a ...... hidden."

Sean, who can see the real-time situation on the sand table, of course has a different opinion, as long as the rebels enter Oro City, they will definitely be able to find out, but unfortunately they rarely come in, and those who come in are probably people who inquire about the news.

If you just catch them, you won't be able to attract the people behind you......

"Tibetan ......"

The few people in front of them were lost in thought.

It's easy for a person to hide, but if he doesn't want to come out, he may never find them!

"Is there a way to make all these hidden rebels show up?" Harry suddenly asked a question that silenced the crowd even more.

If there was a way, there would be no need to have a meeting here!

Just when everyone was worried about this, Claude suddenly ran over at the door of the lobby...... I guess I saw that everyone was in a meeting, so I didn't dare to go in, but it was hard not to attract everyone's attention when I stayed at the door.

"What's the matter?"

"Big Brother Sean...... No, Lord Count. Just now, the soldiers sent a letter from the imperial capital. I happened to be here, so I took it!"

Imperial Capital!

The heart sank, and everyone probably guessed what the news was.

The letter in Claude's hand was taken and sealed with the wax seal of the stag helmet, which represented the members of the royal family of the Empire, or directly represented the highest secret decree issued by the kingdom.

Sean opened it to look at ......

As all predicted, the Borgs had already taken the lead in waging war against the Basalan Empire.

However, what Sean didn't expect was that the fighting power of the Borgs was so strong, in the king's secret order, the Borgs broke through the northern city wall in just one night and drove all the way in, and now the lords of the north are forming a common defense force to resist the Borg's troops, and even the imperial capital has sent a large army including four marshal legions.

More than half a million troops went to the north!

What is even more shocking is that such a large force can only defend ......

Sean read back and forth the information of the entire letter, which probably meant that the empire would send the most elite troops to fortify the attack of the Borg together with the northern nobles, hoping that other lords would give material or military support, and all the troops would be led by Prince Philip to the battlefield after the emperor.

This means to prepare for the nobles of other eastern, western, and southern regions, whether it is donating money and materials or sending soldiers, they must meet in the imperial capital as soon as possible, and then reinforce again.

After reading it, Sean placed the letter in front of the table so that the rest of the people in front of him could read it......

"I didn't know about the situation in the country of Borg before, is the other party really so strong?"

After reading the letter, several people estimated that there were many people who thought with them, and even directly said that the imperial soldiers were worthless in the mouth of mercenaries like Barnier, which almost angered Joseph and Aslant around them.

"I don't know what the king and the ministers are thinking, and they will fight back when the Borg have secured our land? ”

Even though they were born as mercenaries, the Barniers still have strong patriotic feelings.

"Maybe the king is waiting for the moment, and it is indeed not wise to confront Borg's army head-on...... In the history of the expansion of the Basharan Empire, there have been two encounters with the Borg, each time with no less than 100,000 men. That's when Harry, as a scholar, was in a position to speak.

"The result?"

"The ...... of total annihilation"

He looked at the crowd.

"This history does not appear in any accessible records, after all, it is not a glorious thing, but it is enough to show that the Borg people are far above us in terms of technology and combat effectiveness, and even the overall order level is very high. ”

“...... So I guess the emperor wants to wait for the right time to make plans. ”

Sean thought about Harry's words are not unreasonable, if the combat effectiveness of the Borg people is really so terrifying, then they really dare not act rashly, once a battle of this scale appears, the morale of the ** emperors will be gone, and when the time comes, they can only organize the people's battle in the ocean, relying on the terrain to fight guerrillas?

The Borg probably won't take that long......

Sean was still thinking about what the woman in the dungeon had said, that the Borg wanted to find something, and that it was related to the Old Gods.

Pendant?

Silver key?

Hope is not something that brings disaster.

Looking at the conscription order on the table, Sean suddenly thought of a solution.

"Maybe we can use the king's orders to force the rebels out. He said suddenly.

Everyone also looked at Sean at the same time......

........................

Somewhere outside Oro the next day.

The members of the Revolutionary Army had to move into a different area almost every day, and only by acting like an outsider could they avoid being detected by the inspectors in Oro City...... And not only the location, but also the slogan and the people and methods of the gathering must be constantly changed to ensure safety.

At the same time, people have to be sent to the city to find out the news.

"How's it going?"

The door opened, and this time a young girl walked in.

"There's a big deal! Count Vigel issued a proclamation in the city of Oro to levy money and grain, which seems to be a request from the imperial capital. The war in the north is starting to tighten!"

"Great, I knew the Borg wouldn't be defeated so easily!" someone in the room said.
