Winter is coming, and when snow falls in a few days, the eastern front will be quiet for a while when pure white covers the land.

And this year, the empire seems to have died down too early, even if the Iron Country has invested in the firearms developed by Drifting Snow City, the empire is by no means a vegetarian, but in the past few days, there has been no movement on the eastern front, and even the enemy who is harassing has not found out.

At the same time, all the spies in the empire lost contact, and the two countries tested each other, which was a matter of convention, and even in times of war, they would never do such a thankless task as uprooting the spies.

Soon the Iron Country knew the reason, but the first to discover the clues were the smugglers, and the chambers of commerce in the empire were constantly evacuating, and it was said that there was some kind of large-scale turmoil in the imperial king, and almost all news was blocked.

But now even the news can't be blocked, and even the imperial defenders on the eastern front have begun to waver, and the deserters who have crossed the border line have skyrocketed in recent days, and the other side has not even had the intention of pursuing.

The tranquility of the days made the defenders of the Eastern Front itch in their hearts, and he couldn't wait to charge directly to the front line to cut down the group of imperial grandsons, and beat the water dogs, which he liked the most.

But things didn't go as expected, so he could only look at Lance, who had not moved for thousands of years, with a complaining expression, and the knights did not agree to cooperate with the attack, and the official was crushed to death.

"If you want me to say that this is too high even if it is a temptation, there must be something messing within the empire, why don't you take advantage of this time to get a handful, and when the news comes out, won't the daylilies be cold?"

Lance's eyelids lifted slightly, and his opinion on Hart was undeniable, but he was waiting for an important reply, and he wanted to see what the man thought.

"Wait!"

When the news just came out a few days ago, he sent a letter through the express line as soon as possible, but it was not the royal capital, but the Drifting Snow City.

It's not that he thinks highly of the youngest Grand Duke in history, but the more complicated the situation, the more he wants to hear about Leo's ideas that are different from normal people's thinking.

"When is this going to be?"

As soon as the words fell, the herald hurried into the tent, and there was a letter on the ground, and seeing the pattern on the envelope, Hart finally understood who Lance was waiting for a reply.

Lance opened the wax seal and simply swept a few things, raised his eyebrows, and sure enough, it was correct to let this Northland Grand Duke who had moved in his head refer to it, and others really didn't dare to think about it.

"What did you say?"

"Draw up an area and prepare to receive the displaced people, and by the way, set up a surrender contract in advance, maybe you can use it."

“？？？”

Hart didn't understand what was going on, but Lance was shaking in his heart, this man really dared to pierce this layer of window paper so simply.

As soon as Leo received the letter, he summoned the Northland merchant group to understand the situation, and sure enough, most of the merchant groups in the empire lost contact with each other, and some in the remote areas said that there were a large number of fugitives in the direction of the royal capital.

Several border towns had not received regular contact from the Imperial capital, and it would have been too costly to lure the Iron Nation as a means.

"So teacher, do you think the empire ...... Finished? ”

"It's just a conjecture, in fact, action and inaction are the same, only the center of the empire has received some kind of fatal blow, and this influence is still expanding, it is possible that the news is blocked from the inside out, in fact, there is no need to think too much about it here"

"Either the empire is over, then we just need to be prepared to accept the displaced people, and be prepared to negotiate terms with the five border towns that have lost their backbone."

"Or wait for the Empire to take a breather from this catastrophe and increase our leverage at the negotiating table."

"Can't you think about dealing with them? Take advantage of his illness to kill him"

Leo spread his hands, at least he didn't have this level in his thinking mode, and he wouldn't let his soldiers take even a 0.1% risk.

"Even if you take the opportunity to get a little cheap, as long as the empire is not destroyed and attacked, then don't think about being able to hit the imperial capital from the eastern front"

"And if the empire that has been devastated naturally has no room to negotiate terms with us, so I just said that this movement and immobility are actually the same."

Herman silently flipped to the teacher's quote booklet, circled the quote on the third line, and wrote a date by the way.

——3012 in response to the ever-changing iron calendar

After the news reached the ears of the Iron King, the Iron King did not hesitate to agree to Leo's decision, he and the ministers of the King's faction trusted Leo very much, and the move of watching from the sidelines could naturally be supported by those families who wanted to preserve their strength.

Sure enough, a week later, the Imperial Army on the Eastern Front began to waver significantly, and even high-ranking officers began to appear among those who took the initiative to flee in the direction of the Iron Country's borders.

The five towns on the border of the empire directly sent a joint representative, raising the issue of relocating a large number of displaced people from the hinterland of the empire, and even willing to accept the recruitment of the Iron Country with conditions.

Almost at the same time as the other side made representations, a large number of displaced people from the direction of the empire began to cross the border, causing great confusion in the border five towns, and the newly formed alliance of five towns was almost washed away.

On the other hand, in the Iron Country, because of the precautions made in advance, the influx of displaced people was resettled in a timely manner, and even set up entry epidemic inspections to prevent the occurrence of large-scale plagues.

Hart soon saw his old enemy, but unfortunately the other party no longer had the intention of fighting him, and did not even put forward conditions, only asking the Iron Country to guarantee the personal safety of the surrendered soldiers.

……

The land that was once the capital of the empire was filled with gunsmoke and flames, the people who had not had time to evacuate cried, and countless humanoid monsters roamed the streets and alleys, hunting for life, and the entire king was shrouded in death like a drawing of hell.

In the Empire's largest Church of Light, believers clinged to the gates of the church, and the old pope knelt down in front of the idol, hoping to learn something from the past.

The "gods" did not respond to him, on the contrary, the light no longer softened, and there were even some violent thoughts coming from the other side of the void.

From this turbulent flow of information, the old pope finally understood something, and his eyes lost their brilliance, and the fragile gate was shattered by the monsters, and also tore the weeping cultists.

The underground of the Imperial Royal Capital bloomed with a huge amount of light, and the holy light that exceeded the total land of the Imperial Capital exploded a mushroom cloud on this land, and the huge shock wave spread several kilometers away.

Almost all the mage towers and observation facilities of the civilization countries on this land can observe the huge magic energy fluctuations released from the direction of the empire's territory.

At the same time, all the Holy Light Sect altars in the entire empire and even in this world lost their response, and the priests could clearly feel one thing.

Their "gods"
