Chapter 673: The Holy State's Response......
Bang!
The Emperor of the Empire of St. Eggert and Pope Mark XIII slammed his fist into the golden wall that adorned him, instantly smashing the gorgeous wall into a crack.
"Damn! Damn! ”
"Why doesn't the Canglan Empire agree to peace talks? Are their brains all broken?! ”
Roar loudly!
At this time, the supreme ruler of the Saint-Eggert Empire had completely lost his mind because of his anger, and he even lost his temper and cursed in the temple in the palace that he used to convene ministers and bishops of various places!
"Bastard! What is the name of the new emperor of the Canglan Empire, Sui Yu is a bastard! Devil! He's a spy sent by the Demon Realm! Definitely a spy! Heterodox! ”
Well, although he shouted happily, Mark XIII also knew that he could only talk about it.
Due to the Canglan Empire's ban on the preaching of the Holy Religion, coupled with the fact that the Canglan Empire unexpectedly erupted with the hidden amazing combat power with Sui Yu's accession to the throne, both countries felt helpless against the Canglan Empire.
Therefore, no matter how high the hat buckle is, it will not be of any use to Sui Yu, the emperor of the Canglan Empire!
In this world, after all, strength speaks, and no matter how good the mouth is, it won't help, because Sui Yu doesn't care at all!
"Damn!"
Taking a deep breath, Mark XIII calmed down and asked loudly with a serious face to the silent ministers and the cardinals entrusted with important tasks: "Why didn't that guy Sui Yu agree to peace talks?" ”
"The Canglan Empire now has no troops that can be used to expand, and if this continues, even if he messes up the Holy Kingdom, the Canglan Empire will not get any benefits! On the contrary, a large amount of supplies will be used for bombing! ”
"As long as he is not an idiot, he should understand that peace talks can maximize benefits! Why? Tell me, why did he refuse peace talks? ”
And to the question of this ruler, none of the ministers and cardinals dared to answer it.
Nearest the king nearest the gallows!
For this ruler who was dragged down and beheaded if he was slightly unsatisfied, even if everyone knew in their hearts that Sui Yu refused to negotiate peace for the sake of long-term consideration, they couldn't say it!
There's no way, it's okay to treat this thing, a lot of things, you can know it in your heart, but you must not say it!
To speak out is to die!
So, seeing that everyone was silent, in fact, he knew in his heart that Sui Yu could not believe in the Holy Kingdom, and even he himself knew that as long as he was given a chance, he would break the contract and continue to invade the Canglan Empire and occupy the city they had worked so hard to build.
The key now is to solve the problem as soon as possible as soon as the damage to the Holy Kingdom continues to expand!
Even if the technology of the magic web makes a lot of message transmission speed very fast, it is too powerful to not be able to stand up to the Lori Army.
Almost every few hours, the capital receives reports of another town having been completely destroyed.
Now, a week has passed since the outbreak of the war, and almost half of the towns in the southern part of the St. Eggert Empire have been destroyed by the troops who have come and gone without a trace!
Not long ago, a metal mine was violently mined, and the entire mine is now extremely dangerous!
And this kind of incident, there have been more than ten cases in the past week, and basically the mines in the south of the Holy Country have been finished by that force!
At the same time, a coal mine used to replace the magic core as auxiliary power was violently mined, and it was even more immoral to set a fire to the entire coal mine!
Coupled with the fact that several granaries where grain were stored were tragically looted, the damage to the Holy Kingdom is now getting bigger and bigger, and it looks like it is about to reach the point of breaking bones and bones and even falling apart!
Therefore, after realizing that the time was too urgent to allow for his temper tantrums, Mark XIII, the ruler of the Empire of St. Eggert, decided to get the conversation to the point.
"The Canglan Empire's approach is really too much! Not to mention harming others and not benefiting themselves, and the most odious thing is that they carry out indiscriminate massacres without distinction between nobles and commoners! It's so outrageous, it's the devil! ”
After listening to the words and knowing that Mark XIII was going to get down to business, the minister in charge of foreign affairs said decisively: "That's right! The practice of wanton killing without distinguishing between nobles and commoners is too much! This is a clear violation of the "Nobility Protection Law" in the Continental Convention, and it does not protect the rights and interests of the nobility as much as possible! ”
And the other minister next to him also added with an indignant look on his face: "That's right! The new emperor of the Canglan Empire did so much to disregard the face of the nobles, is he really not afraid of being besieged by other countries on the mainland?! ”
Well, for this sentence, everyone ignores it.
Siege?!
Who doesn't understand who?!
To put it bluntly, those conventions on the mainland are all used to restrain forces with similar strength, so as to prevent those who have no lower limit from harming others and themselves.
However, if the gap in strength between the two sides is relatively large, then these so-called continental conventions are waste paper!
If the Holy Kingdom really asked for help from those countries in the north at this time, maybe it could really ask the army to come over!
However, when the time comes, whether the troops that come over will really come to form a coalition to join forces to defeat the Canglan Empire or directly come over to receive the territory of the Holy Country, it is a matter of two words!
It's just that it's a good excuse after all!
If Sui Yu, the new emperor of the Canglan Empire, did not know much about the situation on the mainland due to his remote location, he might have made concessions for fear of attracting siege!
So Mark XIII immediately ordered the Foreign Secretary: "As soon as possible, use the Continental Convention and the threat of the coalition to demand that the Canglan Empire open peace talks!" At the same time, they must stop the operation of that devil army at the first time! ”
"And it has to be fast!"
"Damn it!"
With that, Mark XIII smashed his fist down the wall again.
There is no way, and it is no wonder that the ruler of the Holy Kingdom is so impatient, and the information that is coming one after another is becoming more and more dangerous.
Not only were the cities and towns in the south extremely badly destroyed, but even after the calculations of the experts under these ministers of the Holy Kingdom, with the mobility of that strange force, it might be possible to attack the capital in two days!
Especially when he thought that the intelligence showed that this force not only had great firepower and mobility, but also had air superiority, Mark XIII felt a dull pain in his stomach.
It's been a long time since Mark XIII has encountered such a tricky state of affairs after so many years!
At this time, Mark XIII honestly regretted it very much.
Why was he blindfolded by lard before, and as soon as he heard that the Canglan Empire was in a civil war, he immediately organized troops to launch an invasion?
Although he does want to leave a name in history with his exploits in expanding the territory, it seems that it is impossible to leave a name in history, and the hope of leaving a stench for 10,000 years is very great!
And just when Mark XIII was annoyed by his previous decision, and continued to discuss with the ministers how to deal with the next disaster relief and how to face the threat of other countries, the minister in charge of foreign affairs ran back in a cold sweat.
Well, one look at that ugly face, Mark XIII knew that the peace talks looked hopeless!
Really......
The Foreign Secretary said to Mark XIII tremblingly while wiping a cold sweat: "Through the magic net, I have just contacted the Foreign Minister of the Canglan Empire, and the reply given by the other party is the same as before. Let's talk about ......"
Gritting his teeth, the Foreign Minister struggled to say the rest of the words: "Their emperor said that the Canglan Empire will not tolerate the invaders!" And he also said that if other countries dare to form a coalition to invade the Canglan Empire, then he doesn't mind letting those countries taste the power of the Lori Legion! ”
"Damn! Darn!!! ”
Angry and scolding, Mark XIII waved his hand and ordered: "Come on, pull this guy down and cut it down!" ”
In an instant, the Foreign Secretary was grabbed by the guards and dragged out.
Naturally, the Foreign Minister was unwilling to be killed for passing the word, so he shouted loudly while being dragged out: "Your Majesty spare your life!" Spare your life! Those words were not me, they were really the original words of the hateful Emperor of the Canglan Empire! You can't do that to me! I have shed my blood for the Holy Kingdom! I have done my service to the Holy State! You can't do that to me! Spare your life! Leave me alone! Spare your life! ”
It's just that now that there is no hope for peace talks, it seems that the foreign minister is really useless for the time being.
No, at this time, everyone ignored the screams of the guy who dragged him out, and began to discuss how to face the next various problems with a serious face.
"According to intelligence, that strange force must return to a secret base near the border of the Canglan Empire every day for replenishment and rest! Therefore, even if the other party flies over directly, there is a two-day buffer time! ”
The Minister of War drew a straight line on the map on the table with the whip and continued: "Although the shortest time is very urgent, this is only the most extreme calculation at present! In fact, there should be a lot of time for us to adapt! And even if the other side really attacks in two days, it will be enough for us to make some contingencies in the capital! At the very least, those magic guide cannons sealed in the arsenal had better be arranged tomorrow! Prepare the city guards for air defense! ”
"At the same time, it is better to start giving orders tomorrow and summon magicians from all over the country to come to the capital and prepare for air battles! And also to arrange for the evacuation of residents, including the capital, outside the city in the shortest possible time! ”
"That force is a small force after all, and those who gather together are easily hit by a wide area, but scattered targets are not easy to be hunted down by them! The number of the team called the Lori Legion is relatively small after all! ”
Hearing the various arrangements made by the Minister of War in light of the current situation and situation, Mark XIII nodded slightly, and at the same time he also understood that maybe that strange army would not arrive in two days, but would maintain the current situation and destroy the towns of the Holy Kingdom little by little.
But there's nothing wrong with being careful!
To be honest, if it weren't for worrying about some unstable situation in the country, like a magic guide cannon or something, it might have been configured two days ago.
However, for various reasons, the configuration of the magic cannon has been continuously delayed, and it can only be configured at the most critical moment.
As for the proposal for the evacuation of the population, Mark XIII also nodded in agreement.
As long as the scattered people bring enough supplies and weapons and equipment, then even if they can't stop the destruction of that strange army, at least they can keep the foundation for rebuilding the town!
Thinking of this, Mark XIII suddenly thought of a poisonous plan similar to Sui Yu's: "Since you have evacuated!" Or simply issue an oracle in the name of the Holy Sect, declaring that Sui Yu, the new emperor of the Canglan Empire, is a spy sent by the Demon Realm and a heretic! The entire Canglan Empire has been polluted by the Demon Realm! ”
"So, call on all the people who have lost their homes to take everything that can be used as weapons and go to the Canglan Empire to participate in the holy war!"
Hearing the words of Mark XIII, although the military minister could not bear it, he still echoed his words: "Wonderful! It's a great trick! ”
"Externally, we can claim that those people are refugees! When the time comes, let's see what the Canglan Empire will do! ”
"If they kill people, then if they spread the word, the reputation of the Canglan Empire will completely stink on the entire continent!"
"And how to receive!"
"Let's not say that there is no way to settle the number of people who rushed over, let's just say that those people who rushed over are all believers who have a strong hatred for the Canglan Empire, once they rush into the Canglan Empire, the damage caused by that time will be enough for the Canglan Empire to have a headache!"
Speaking of this, the military minister bowed to Mark XIII and sighed with admiration: "He is worthy of being the embodiment of wisdom and strength, and the agent of the Holy Light in the world!" Your Majesty, your wisdom is indeed deeper than the sea! ”
Immediately after, the other ministers also hurriedly followed suit!
No way, at this time, Mark XIII may not be able to remember who patted the sycophants, but he can definitely remember who didn't!
And there are no consequences of sycophancy......
However, just as the ministers and bishops were scrambling to slap their horses, a contemptuous female voice (which sounded quite crisp) suddenly sounded from the top of the temple: "The plan is indeed good! Poisonous enough! So, I can't let you continue to issue orders! ”
Suddenly hearing this voice, everyone in the temple was startled, and subconsciously shouted loudly: "Who?!" ”
