Christian secretly noticed the change in everyone's demeanor, thinking back to the news that Dixie had sent to him intermittently about the civilian class over the years, and a tricky feeling appeared in his heart.

When he learned that Muriel in front of him was a civilian, although there was some contempt in his heart, he was more surprised. I am afraid that there are only a handful of people in the Nuoda Empire who can do the thing of redeeming the imperial generals.

After all, they are facing a powerful force that seems to be shrouded in fog, and the negotiation time between the two sides will inevitably be long.

But this Muriel did it in a very short time, and his ability was enough to gain his own recognition. It seems that Dixie has a good eye and can actually find top talent among the common people.

The thought fell.

Then came pressure from all sides.

The expedition to the Demon Dragon Hall was a fiasco, the threat of the human countries to the Shinto gods was gone, and the war between humans and gods was about to begin.

If the common class were all worthless, at least they would not be able to pull the back of the nations in the imminent war. But Muriel proved how ridiculous this idea is.

Once the Great War broke out.

The internal control will be lax, and without a strong force to guard it, these people will probably do things that they and the Empire do not want to see.

"The princess asks the marshal to return to the imperial capital immediately"

"Otherwise, I'm afraid something will happen that the empire can't afford"

Muriel urged.

The voice interrupted the contemplation, and the eyes of all the generals of the Bright Empire looked at it, and they all showed puzzled and contemptuous looks. What the empire can't afford? It seems that civilians are civilians, and they only use alarmist words to sensationalize.

"What's the matter?"

"The Ministry of War requests His Majesty to issue a compulsory conscription order, requiring more than 10 million civilians to join the servant army"

Muriel tried to keep her tone as calm as possible, but a little mood swing betrayed the truest thoughts. The elder brother and the younger brother are in the small town, and if the mandatory conscription order is issued, won't they both have to go to war? I'm afraid it will be bad then.

The generals of the Bright Empire looked even more contemptuous.

Civilians were a burden to the empire, and every year the Treasury had to pay large taxes to cover the deficit caused by the welfare system. Now that the Great War is about to break out, it is time for those civilians who enjoy the benefits for nothing to sacrifice their lives for the Empire.

From the demeanor of these Bright Empire generals, Mu Lier felt the indifference that penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and his lips moved and swallowed the words that followed.

"Compulsory conscription is good and harmless, and it is a good way to govern the country"

"Her Royal Highness the princess has been outside the imperial capital for a long time, and what she has seen and heard is inevitably a little one-sided"

The generals said one after another.

Muriel's gaze looked at Christian, as if deciding something. It is undeniable that the notion of civilians as worthless and capable of slaughtering at will has been ingrained in the Empire. Even he once thought that this was the eternal truth.

But in the dangerous place of the Demon Dragon Palace, he found that the so-called eternal immortal truth was just a shackle he put on himself.

Is such an empire still worth saving? Is such a country still worth nostalgia for?

Countless thoughts swept through her mind like a tidal wave, and Muriel felt that her heart was full of sadness. The scene of Dixie's original gift of the ship appeared, and his wavering heart stabilized.

Maybe I'm too pessimistic.

Although most of the high-ranking people are full of contempt for the common people, there are also people like the princess. They can cross classes, empathize with people within all classes, and try to change this rigid world.

What I can do is the same as what my brother and they explained, and do my best to push these people who can cross classes to the core area of power.

Listening to the generals' discussions, Christian shook his head slowly at them.

"Ladies and gentlemen"

"Forcibly conscripting civilians to form a servant army is probably a harmful and unprofitable thing"

The voice fell in his ears, and the generals of the Bright Empire subconsciously wanted to refute. But looking at Christian's serious appearance, he swallowed all the words one by one. As a confidant, the majesty of the marshal has long been deeply rooted in the bone marrow. In addition, the class barriers are strict, so I dare not refute it.

In fact, strictly speaking, what I just said is a bit excessive.

The princess is noble, how can she point fingers at will?

"Although the commoners have no worries about food and clothing, they are lonely and helpless inside, just prisoners trapped like walking corpses. If the Empire issued a decree to force the gradual servant army, it would probably be a blessing in disguise on the eve of the gods coming with the soldiers and horses of the Kingdom of God."

"Beneath the calm waters lies a monstrous rage, and the gods will tear this false vision to shreds"

Christian said.

A general finally couldn't help but refute.

"Wouldn't what the marshal said a little too much? Civilians are powerless, and one mecha can kill more than 1,000 people. Even if they were angry, what could they do? Can it still cause turmoil in the empire? ”

"Yes"

Christian replied.

Look at Muriel.

"Like the one standing in front of you"

"With her abilities, it shouldn't be difficult to use the Demon Dragon Temple to put us back in prison. And people like this are not a small number in the face of a huge population base."

"And what the gods need is faith, and if civilians join the ranks of the gods, they can exchange faith for the power of magic"

"It's inevitable that the situation will get out of control"

Christian explained.

The generals of the Bright Empire looked disapproving.

It seems that the marshal has been dangerously frightened by the Demon Dragon Palace, otherwise how could he say such depressing words? Even if the commoners all surrendered to the gods, how much magic power could they gain? A mecha or battle armor is enough to offset their decades of hard work.

Their eyes intertwined with each other, and because of Christian's majesty in the past, everyone was silent.

"Without further ado, we are immediately ready to return to the imperial capital"

"Muriel"

"In"

"How's the battleship getting ready?"

"Ready"

Muriel replied.

Christian looked at the reaction of the generals, secretly worried in his heart, but this was obviously not the time to hesitate. The Empire of Light is about to issue a mandatory conscription order to form a servant army with more than 10 million civilians. In this way, the contradictions between the common people and other classes will be exacerbated, and even an unpredictable crisis will erupt.

As a general, he naturally needs to contribute in the situation of internal and external troubles, and this is not his niece, Her Royal Highness Princess Dixie to save herself and others.

Both public and private must come forward to stop it.

Although I know that I can't stop it, I have to do it, because it is a fateful attitude.

"Let's go"

"Muriel, you will also go with me to the imperial capital"

"Yes"

Muriel replied.

The demon soldier standing behind him pointed to the left of the crowd and led them to the battleship that was parked not far away. The things that the governor explained have been completed, and the next thing is to wait and see the changes outside.
