580 Ultimatum
The battle came so quickly. ??.? r?a?n?? e?n?`c?o?m?
Almost the day after receiving the joint ultimatum of the three empires, news came from the southern provinces.
The First Fleet in the Far East under Morey attacked the Duchy of Bonia, which borders it, and captured eight cities overnight!
This battle smashed like a blow on the back of the heads of the front-line commanders of the three empires, making them dizzy until now.
In their opinion, they have won the battle, the three empires have nearly 300,000 soldiers, counting the armies of these three small countries, the number has exceeded 500,000, so they claim to have a million troops to the outside world.
And the Holy Lance Kingdom's troops are all in the early 300,000s, and under this gap, if the Holy Lance Kingdom wants to have some other thoughts, then it can only expect to use defensive means to slowly entangle with the Imperial Alliance, seeking fighters in a stalemate.
Who would have thought that instead of defending, they would shoot first!
And after the shock, there is a deep fear.
Although the strength of the Principality of Bonia is far inferior to that of the Holy Lance Kingdom, the First Fleet in the Far East is only the noble private army of the Holy Lance Kingdom, and the eight coastal cities are also quite well defended because they have to guard against pirates, and the eight cities are far apart, no one thinks that they will fall overnight.
But it was this task that others thought impossible, and the governor of the Far East completed it in an understatement.
When Bert's express letter arrived in Momiji City, Morey simply wrote the words "everything is true".
If it weren't for the inability to hold on, the eight coastal cities would change hands overnight, and the Principality of Bonia would have lost nearly a quarter of its territory in an instant.
Morey's battle was mercilessly stripped off the underpants used to cover the shame of the Principality of Bonia, after the news spread, the undercurrent within the Principality surged, if it were not for the strong troops of the Ellephine Empire in the country, the current Principality of Bonia would have fallen into civil strife.
......
Duchy of Ponia, City of Gaya.
"Rubbish! It's all rubbish!! ”
Mel. Ambrose changed his usual gentle and humble appearance, and roared loudly in the main hall.
But those ministers seemed to have been hit by the [petrification] one by one, and they lowered their heads and did not react at all.
Even for Mel. No matter how disdainful and dissatisfied Ambrose was for the incompetent king, they did not want to face his wrath at this moment.
The six hideous heads hanging outside the palace are still dripping blood!
Except for the two "lucky" guys who died directly under the sneak attack of the Holy Spear Navy, the heads of the other six city lords were all hung here without exception.
But the silence of the ministers was that Kim did not dampen any of Mel's anger, but more like pouring a bucket of hot oil on the fire.
"Lord Enoch, our kingdom's intelligence department spends so much money every year, so that it doesn't even notice the movement of such a huge warship!"
"Your Majesty, that's because they used teleportation ......"
A sweaty, slightly bald middle-aged man crawled up to Mel and explained anxiously.
"No need to explain! You can talk to the inquisitor in prison! ”
Mel waved his hand and rudely interrupted Enoch's explanation as the head of the kingdom's intelligence, and directly sentenced the other party to death.
"No, Your Majesty! Give me another chance! ”
Enoch climbed from a small merchant to where he is today, and only he knows how much it has done.
And today's king's words are about to break up his twenty years of hard work, which makes him not frightened.
But Mel didn't listen to Enoch's explanation at all, and turned his back indifferently.
Looking at the temple guards getting closer and closer, Enoch turned his eyes to the great man who had recommended him to become a lord in one step.
But this benefactor, who once swore to be optimistic about himself, is also acting as a sculpture in the hall at this moment.
So in the end, Enoch, whose heart was like ashes, was dragged out like a lifeless corpse.
"Your Majesty, this crime of dereliction of duty can be investigated slowly, and now the top priority is to issue an ultimatum like the Holy Spear Kingdom!"
Mel, who had just made an example of the monkey, was obviously breathing, so Cornelius advised.
"Oh? Diplomatic note? ”
"Yes, Your Majesty! The Holy Spear Kingdom shamelessly attacked my coastal cities, causing a large number of casualties among our people! If we don't let the Holy Spear Kingdom hand over the murderer, how can we explain to the people! ”
Cornelius spoke with great righteousness and awe-inspiring, as if he was worried about the country and the people.
If it weren't for the information that Mel received, the Earl of Cornelius would have jumped the most fiercely since the fall of the Eight Cities, and he would have really been deceived by the Chancellor's loyal service to the country.
The hall slowly quieted down again, and Cornelius, who was originally determined, gradually became nervous from the beginning of his confidence.
Especially when he heard the sound of Mel slowly tapping his fingers on the throne, his heart became more and more uneasy.
"Did the king already know?"
"I shouldn't have taken money from those fools if I knew I wouldn't have done it!"
Cornelius was no loyal servant, and if it weren't for the gold coins, he wouldn't have been the best bird.
Although he used six bloody human heads to knock the noble families to which these city lords belonged at that time, if he had known that this would be the result, he would never have accepted the money!
Although he couldn't see the situation behind him because he was bent down, he felt several gloating glances behind him.
"Good!"
Unexpectedly, just when he was remorseful, Mel's affirmative reply came from the throne.
Mel naturally had his plans.
Now that the Duchy can barely support itself, it is all thanks to those wolf-like imperial armies, and the most important thing he should do now is to curry favor with these imperial people.
Delivering an ultimatum to the Holy Spear Kingdom as a weak person is suspected of showing weakness, but it can make the Imperial Army famous.
Even if you don't care about your face for a long time, it's good to have a fig leaf!
After hearing Mel's decision, General Kargle, who was in charge of the Duchy of Bonia, was very pleased, and even sent the clerks of the army to draft an ultimatum together.
If someone who doesn't know what is going on reads it, they will definitely bow to tears for the innocent citizens of Bonia who died in the war, and at the same time have infinite hatred for the Holy Spear Kingdom that caused such tragic casualties.
Through the channels of the Empire, this ultimatum was delivered to Bert's desk before the paper and ink had dried.
Bert read the ultimatum carefully, and from time to time he was amazed, as if he were admiring a eloquent passage, but the mockery and schadenfreude between his brows could not be concealed.
Just when the Imperial emissary's face was about to turn black, Bert picked up the brush and threw it back.
The messenger almost fainted when he saw it, and a big cross was punched on the sprinkled ultimatum, and the two words were on the left and right sides of the big fork.
"Fart!"
