169. The situation is in jeopardy
"Report! The military front against the planet has been defeated! The Great General has died in the line of duty! ”
"Report! The Salar Desert has fallen! Demons invade Middle-earth! No one is spared! ”
"Report! The Northland rebels attack Middle-earth! The defenders have fled! There are three border cities to surrender! ”
"Report! Nam Giang uprising rebellion! It has swept the South River in half a month and is preparing to attack Middle-earth! ”
The emperor on the throne turned pale, his hands tightened the armrests, and his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing an extremely vicious look.
Under the throne, one hundred and thirty-one officials also looked at each other with pale faces, and there were discussions, and the rebellions and attacks of the demons in various places had plunged the entire empire into misery.
If one is not handled well, perhaps the empire will no longer exist with this world.
"It is said that the leader of the rebel army in the Northland Province is Kane?" An official whispered to a colleague next to him, "Is it true?" ”
"It's true." Next to this official was another high-ranking general of the empire, his face was already good compared to other civilian officials, but as soon as he heard the official on the side mention Lin Han, his face instantly darkened, "If it weren't for the fact that I branded Kane as a traitor to the empire, maybe Kane wouldn't have rebelled so radically." ”
Since the current emperor was the first emperor of this empire, almost everyone would call him "I".
As for the previous empire, it was just a kingdom, although the kingdom of a hundred years ago was already the strongest kingdom on the entire continent, but it was not until the radical king of this generation took office that it took more than thirty years to unify the continent, and since then a kingdom has become an empire.
However, the empire seemed to be on the verge of collapse before it had existed for thirty years.
The high-ranking people in this world have a very long lifespan, not like the ancient emperors of China on the earth, with an average lifespan of only thirty or forty years. The first king and emperor have been on the throne for fifty-seven years, and they are over seventy years old, but they can live for at least twenty or thirty years.
"Is there any good idea?" The emperor, who had been a horse all his life, lowered his head a little dejectedly, and asked the officials in a half-pleading tone to the officials in the audience, "If you can't stop the development of the situation, maybe the empire will be hopeless." ”
The situation had reached a point where it could no longer be developed, otherwise he would not have said frustrating words in such a decadent tone.
The officials in the audience looked at each other one by one, most of these officials were civilian officials, and it was okay to talk about intrigue, but it was more convenient to suppress the rebellion and fight the demon army.
Although he was emperor, he was also the most powerful military commander in nearly a century.
The chamber was so quiet that almost everyone's breathing could be heard, and this extreme silence lasted for ten minutes, before a civil servant stood up cautiously and proposed to the first generation: "Otherwise, make peace?" ”
"With whom?"
"Demon ......"
As soon as the civil official's words were finished, the other civil officials stood up angrily at the same time, pointed at the man's nose and cursed.
"You are guilty of treason! Or even betrayed all humanity! ”
"Even if you fight to the death with the demons! We can't surrender to the demons either! ”
"The demons are a bunch of irrational! Man-eating monsters! How is it possible to make peace with the demons?! ”
Listening to the arguments of the officials in the audience, I couldn't help shaking my head, although the demon race has not appeared on the mainland for hundreds of years, but the ancient books and the fear of the unknown make most of the imperial people think that the demon race is a man-eating monster.
But as an emperor, of course he knows that the demons are not much different from humans in fact, except for their strange appearance, the demons are also "people" who walk on two feet and eat with their hands.
"Let's make peace, then."
……
The offensive of the demons was unstoppable, and when they came out of the desert, they immediately marched forward in detachment, and looted the surrounding cities, although it was a loot, but the looted was all finances and food, and the imperial people did not move to restrain them at home. Each time a city is captured, the demons' momentum will increase even more, and they will divide more than a thousand troops to guard the city, and then let most of them continue to advance.
But the cities of the empire have caused a lot of trouble for the demons.
Since most of the people in the city are civilians, the demons originally planned to let the earthlings throw a bunch of missiles into it and it would be over, but the earth's army refused on the grounds that they could not harm the civilians, and the demons could only attack the city stupidly, and this group of imperial people was particularly stubborn, if it was a normal human to fight humans, the casualties would be thirty out of a million and they would flee, but the demons were the legendary man-eating monsters, so they fought to the death one by one, and even the civilians in the city who were incapable ran out to help defend the city.
"It's a nuisance."
Although there is some trouble in attacking the city, these demons are all regular troops, and there is no problem with the defenders who guard the city, who may not even be able to get their salaries, but every time they attack the city, they will always be harassed by the civilians of the empire, so that these demon armies are unable to defend themselves.
As for the so-called big cities that have not been breached for hundreds of years, then there is no need for magic at this time, the missile vehicles of the earth army bombard two rounds, and let the drones bomb two rounds, then even the enchanted city wall of dozens of meters high will have to fall.
Lin Chang has been very idle in the past two days, walking around with the demon army to see the scenery, and occasionally throwing two magic spells or something.
Now she stood in the command car, listening to Gus, who had a lot of combat experience, dispatching soldiers.
"Speaking of which, I heard that someone from the Empire has come to negotiate peace?" Lin Chang found a place to sit down, this command car is a luxury command car provided by the earthlings, it can even be said to be a luxury RV, she took out a bottle of ice cola from the refrigerator in the corner, poured herself a sip of satisfaction, and then continued to ask Gus, "How are you talking?" ”
"Che, if the war had been talked about at the beginning, I would have agreed." Gus raised his head arrogantly and said confidently, "Now that the empire is worried about internal and external troubles, we, as a man-eating demon, will definitely eat the empire!" ”
"I think it might be good to support Lin Han to become the king of the empire, and then let Lin Han give us a province, and then let Lin Han slowly change the attitude of the imperial people towards our demons." Lin Chang finished drinking the Coke and threw it out of the car directly, "But that would be very troublesome, not only would you have to kill the imperial army, but you would also have to deal with the other rebel armies." ”
"It's all the same anyway! Just look at what the other two demon kings say! ”
Gus was chatting, but suddenly realized that something was wrong, picked up the radio and yelled.
"A large number of air units on the side are approaching! The magician is ready! Earth Army missile interception! ”
"If the negotiation fails, you still don't give up." Gus turned his head and smiled at Lin Chang, "Three dragons tamed by humans with a group of wurm armies, there are more than three thousand dragons. ”
"The regiment is destroyed! The empire will have no power to fight back! ”
