Chapter 47: When the War Begins

Order is born of peace.

But when peace has become a lie, and war has become the accepted norm, strength has become the measure of everything.

The fact that a man of high morals who was originally admired could be persecuted by uneducated hooligans is the appearance of the decay of the empire. When people began to abandon moral and intellectual respect for others in favor of bullying for fun, the human race did not become more advanced because they became more powerful, but declined in self-destruction.

Human beings at this moment are no different from fierce and cruel beasts.

Sometimes, even more terrifying than wild beasts, fearlessly challenging things that break the moral and even human codes of conduct, every move is so disgusting.

But where there is no trace of this kind of justice, only power can punish evil.

-- Heaven cannot judge evil, praise evil and ugliness as good and beautiful, and denigrate good and beauty as evil and ugly, and this chaotic world needs a new master.

A truly powerful rule-maker.

Minister Earnest is infinitely close to this final step, but after all, he still lacks help, and he is almost doomed. Survive in the ugliness of the aristocracy, try to resist in vain, and even rely on the emperor's trust to barely protect himself. reputation, but it was ruined by the aristocracy.

It was as if the decay of the empire had all its roots in Chancellor Earnest.

The common people believed it, and the leaders of the revolutionary army used it as an excuse to spy on the emperor's throne, and the officials used it to shirk their responsibilities.

In a cloud of black water, even if you want to be pure, someone will come to defile it.

By the time Earnest realized this, it was too late, his reputation and political reputation had reached the extreme, but he also began to become slick and swirl among the nobility, making them think that his wolf had been domesticated into an obedient domestic dog. But what they didn't expect was that they couldn't control Earnest at all, and Earnest secretly made an alliance with General Bud and General Estes respectively, and together they marched to the peak of the empire's full strength.

By having Estes stand with him on the surface, he suppressed the rebellion of the nobles by all kinds of cruel means; Secretly exchanged interests with Bud, and made Bud express his disgust with him on the surface, not imposing any sanctions on him on the grounds that military generals were not allowed to participate in politics, and in this way, some officials who had a lot of criticism about him gathered around Bud, and then Ornest, who got the list, sent them to hell in their confusion.

To deal with villains, you can only use the methods of villains.

But the empire is still dim, and the virtuous minister Earnest cannot completely eliminate internal and external troubles.

Through peace talks, he hoped to solve the problem peacefully with the other side, but the leader of the revolutionary army was already carried away by the lust for power, and did not hesitate to consume the happiness of others for his own interests.

Since there is nothing to talk about, there is only one way to do it.

The ruse of the revolutionary army, Earnest had known all along, and had only ignored it with disdain, but now - there was no time for these greedy bastards to continue to make trouble. The so-called bloodless opening of the city is a joke at all - in order to keep enough people and save time to take the world as soon as possible, the top brass of the revolutionary army did not do anything with the people they captured the city.

Although the upper echelons such as Taishou were forced by them to sacrifice the city by various means, the lower-level officials generally had a sense of identification with the empire.

It is only necessary to send someone to infiltrate and skillfully incite it.

Several of the revolutionary cities began to revolt on their own, and then, under the command of Estes, they recaptured all the fallen cities almost without much effort.

In contrast, the revolutionary army, which had never fought any tough battles before, was simply a straggler, and could only bully those unarmed people, and suddenly fled in all directions like scattered sand under the charge of Estes's army.

Estes continued to lead his troops forward, taking advantage of the situation to break through several strongholds of the revolutionary army.

The birthplace of the direct coercion of the revolutionary army, and also their current capital - Tianjing.

However, the upper echelons of the revolutionary army were not aware of the danger of the present situation, and were still busy fighting for power and profit, framing each other, and enjoying themselves.

It wasn't until Estes' army had already arrived in the city that they came to their senses and hurriedly began to organize their defense.

Tianjing was the most important stronghold of the revolutionary army, and it was also the center that connected all their strongholds, not only was it rich in food and materials, but also countless weapons.

With their advantage in supplies, they temporarily held the city and forced Estes back.

But Estes just went back to reorganize his armaments, replenish supplies, and prepare for another expedition south.

The revolutionary army's previous vigorous Northern Expedition had long since ended without a hitch, and now it is no longer a question of whether the empire can be defeated, but whether it will be destroyed by the empire.

……

Night raid on the position.

"Estes' army is coming again." Najeta wiped a cold sweat, her eyes full of unconfidence, the last time she fought Estes still remembered it vividly. It shouldn't be a person at all, but a demon from hell! The elite soldiers she led were enough to easily suppress the local rebellion, but they were easily defeated by her troops, and even wiped out! That kind of fear that comes from the soul makes Najeta still dare not face it.

Especially after that battle, his hands began to be a little unstable, and that scary picture always appeared in front of him, remembering that his subordinates died in front of him one by one, but he couldn't do anything, and in the end he couldn't even keep his calm, and he was seriously unqualified as a gunman.

[Pumpkin] was handed over to Ma Yin, a new member of the Night Raid, and he was only suitable to be a commander.

Najeta sighed helplessly, but she couldn't stop the panic in her heart.

This nightmare has been played out even more thoroughly by the recent siege battles. Estes's subordinates were not afraid of death one by one, only retained their fanaticism for Estes, and smashed open the city gate with their lives, if it weren't for the fact that the number of the revolutionary army was more than the other party, or retreating to the fortified city to occupy a geographical advantage, plus the supplies and equipment were better than the other party, I was afraid that it would have been destroyed by the other party long ago.

However, after a bloody battle, Estes made a comeback.

Thinking of the terrible number of casualties of the revolutionary army, Najeta couldn't help but have a headache again: "Estes, isn't it possible that the soldiers under his command are not exhausted?" ”

Training a soldier is not so easy, it is not that the common people can become an excellent soldier by taking up arms, without courage, it is just a coward in the turtle shell, which will not cause much damage to the enemy at all, and sometimes will not obey orders and disturb the morale of the army, unfortunately most of the soldiers in the revolutionary army are just this kind of goods, although it seems that tens of thousands of soldiers are huge, but the real battle is less than 10,000.

And training an elite soldier is even more troublesome, first of all, he must be selected from a team of ordinary soldiers, and after several months or even years of training his ability, it can finally take shape.

But such elite soldiers are only Najeta's subordinates who were destroyed by Estes, and it is undoubtedly more difficult to train an elite soldier like Estes.

That's what Najeta couldn't figure out - it stands to reason that Estes should cherish her soldiers, after all, such a strong team of soldiers is extremely difficult to obtain, and requires not only patience, but also luck.

Talent is the criterion that determines such an elite soldier.

But Estes is so wasteful that it's really incomprehensible, it can't be that she has so many soldiers that she has to be consumed by war, right? If that's the case, then it's out-and-out bad news, and the revolutionary army doesn't have to work hard, just disarm and surrender.

But the answer is actually quite simple - Estes believes in the law of the jungle: the weak have no right to live. Only the strong who survive are qualified to be the personal soldiers of the Queen.

The soldiers' fearlessness of death seems puzzling to ordinary people, but the answer is actually very simple - this is a group of shakers, who are impressed by Estes's shakers, and fight for it as their lifelong faith. Standing by the side of Lord Estes, even if you can't get her love, as long as you let her eyes look at you for even a second, it's an honor. This is the simple happiness that only belongs to Jitter.

……

Anyway, the war of the Empire has begun.

It is no longer just the imperial suppression of ethnic minorities in the West, no longer only the suppression of the barbarians in the north, no longer only the suppression of OOCLA, but also the suppression of the vicious groups that rebel in the south and claim to be the revolutionary army!

All bastards who disturb the order of the empire will be reduced to ashes at the feet of the two strongest generals.

Chancellor Earnest will surely bring eternal light to the Empire.

Some people, even if he has been dormant for ten years, when he takes off, he is still a huge dragon that shocks the world!

Hibernation, not to admit defeat; Waiting, not to give up; Forbearance is not for the sake of compromise.

Minister Earnest is just gradually dissipating the power of those arrogant and arrogant scum in the passage of time, correcting the trajectory that the empire has begun to distort little by little, and slowly stepping onto the pinnacle of scorching power.

Only with sufficient status and sufficient strength can we implement our own ideas.

No matter what the world thinks, Earnest will only be Earnest.

The foul gazes of the fools did not affect him in any way, nor did the hateful roars of the enemies.

This is the hope of the rebirth of the Empire, Minister Onester!

His fat body bears the weight of an empire; His plump oil, which brings light in the burning.

A venerable man who gave everything to the empire but carried all the sins on his shoulders deserves everyone's tribute.

The war that started and the endless artillery fire once again descended on the southern part of the empire.

Although no matter what the reason is used, the war is by no means just. There has never been justice in war. The winner is king, and the loser is the loser.

If it were Ornest who fell today, perhaps everyone would have spat and trample on his noble body, but he won, so he will only face countless praises and reverence!

……

Revolutionary army, since you have started a war, I, Earnest, will never tolerate what you have done!

Your greed is to bury your sins.

Bring the flames of war to the innocent poor, deceive the stupid guys with knowledge, and disrupt the existing order in the imperial capital. Bastards who can only use violence and don't know how to turn back at all, today I, Earnest, officially extend an invitation to you for a decisive battle.

I will do everything in my power to destroy your ridiculous hopes and humble illusions.

Dreams are never a reason to hurt others.

Behold the wretched people whom you have implicated, what sins they have, and yet you have dealt with them so badly, I, Ornest, will take revenge on them today!
