Chapter 30: President, Please Make a Choice
"But you may fail."
Felik had no intention of giving face.
And Walter was not to be outdone and told the truth.
"But if you go to the imperial capital, you may not be able to become a brave man. With all due respect, those guys in the imperial capital are stronger than you can imagine, and even if they are you, it is difficult to become a brave man. After Walter finished speaking, he added: "Even if it's you after taking the drug." ”
Felik didn't speak, just frowned.
This subtle change in expression was keenly captured by Walter, who placed her finger on a small red cross on the map.
"Felik, you may not know, the empire is rotten. His Majesty the King is already emaciated just by dealing with the increasingly powerful demons, and the perennial expedition to defend against the demons who invade the north has left him with no energy to deal with internal affairs, corrupt officials and cruel nobles exploit the people, and the current empire is already an empty shell. ”
Walter's finger moved quickly on the strategic map, and it could be seen from the map that the empire was located in the middle of the continent at a point south of the continent, and the upper half of the continent was almost all within the scope of the Demon Realm, accounting for almost half of the map.
The empire is the region closest to the demon world in the outside world, occupying the largest geographical area, accounting for about one-third of the outside world, and behind it is the elf forest that is relatively far away from the demon world, and the scattered alien tribes around it are the buffer zone in the eyes of the empire.
If the demons want to invade, they must first annex these tribes, but recently, because the demons are becoming more and more powerful, those alien races that do not belong to the demons have also been annexed, and the demons' claws have passed through the towns where those tribes are gradually stretching out to the edge of the empire.
The situation is indeed very serious.
"Felik, don't you see it yet. In this way, the empire will perish, and humanity will become slaves of the demons. Can you bear to watch this happen? Walter said.
Felik looked at the map and frowned thoughtfully
Although Megson was one of the border towns, it was not affected by the war, and in fact it was relatively peaceful, and Felik heard that Fort Owy, which was also a border town on the other side, had long been reduced to a battlefield, and many people died.
In just a few months, it has already invaded this side, and my sister's offensive is really fierce, and it seems that I have to speed up the plan, Felik thought to himself.
"President, I understand what you said, but what does this have to do with the Revolutionary Army? Will anything change if you overthrow the current rulers? Felik asked rhetorically.
"If everyone is united, I don't think we will lose to the demons, the demons have greatly weakened the combat power of the demon world, we occupy the right time and place, what is lacking is people, there are obviously strong enemies outside, the officials of the empire are not only inconsistent with the outside world, but exploit the people and intrigue with each other! Even the equipment and rations of the troops will be deducted, although you may not believe it, but this is the truth.
But even so, the Imperial Army can still compete with the demons, and if there is some internal reform, it will definitely be able to drive the demons back to the demon realm.
Trust me, Felik! I'm going to change the world! Whether it's honor or salvation, I'll give it to you. Walter stood up and held out his hand to Felik: "Join the Revolutionary Army!" ”
Felik looked at Walter steadily.
The woman in front of her obviously has a very feminine face, and her figure looks weak, but she does all the things that men do, becoming a knight and joining the revolutionary army to rebel, these things are not at all like what Walter would do, not like a woman who pursues love or a stable life, but pursues a happier future for the people of the empire, her firm eyes without a trace of hesitation and that heroic upright posture made Felik's heart tremble.
Felik felt that he had found a good companion again, and it took him a long time to spit out: "President, your current posture is really heartwarming, I confess that I was almost convinced by you." ”
Walter looked at the other party strangely: "Do you mean that you still plan to reject me in the end?" ”
"It's not a refusal, it's just a reversal of the current situation."
"What do you mean?"
Felik leaned forward, his elbows resting on the table, and looked at Walter with expectant eyes.
"Why don't you leave the revolutionary army and come to my side, how about defeating the demon king with me?"
What is Felik talking about? Didn't he understand where I was standing just now?
Walter stared at Felik and blinked in disbelief.
Looking at Felik's serious expression, Walter felt like he had met a madman.
The other party was really inviting her to join the team of only four people.
Walter shook his head and said to himself, was he joking? Actually let her join a team of four people in total, what can this team do, this kid doesn't really plan to use these people to defeat the demon king, right?
"That...... What do you mean......" Walter pretended to be confused.
Felik nodded vigorously: "That's right, you join us, President, since you want to save the empire, then it's no problem to leave the revolutionary army and join me, after all, I can also save the empire, and maybe faster than the revolutionary army." ”
"Are you kidding?"
"Nope."
Walter looked at Felik, his eyes gradually turning cold.
"I'm sorry, I beg your pardon for refusing, but the affairs of our revolutionary army must not be known to outsiders, and now you should know what your situation is, right?"
Walter doesn't know if the other party is really stupid or fake, the existence of this kind of rebel army is absolutely secret, if outsiders know it, it will naturally be killed, this can be guessed by anyone, like Felik's case, only by agreeing to this one choice, otherwise he may not be able to get out of this place today.
"I know, but I still refuse." Felik replied.
Walter was stunned and looked at Felik like a madman: "You're not mistaken, if you don't join us, I'm afraid you'll die here today." ”
Felik packed: "I won't say it, I'll treat it as if I've never been here." ”
Walter lifted his forehead and sighed: "It's not a question of whether you say it or not, it's a question of whether they believe it or not." ”
"It doesn't matter if they believe it or not, just look at the person in front of you and believe me."
Hearing this, Walter was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood.
Walter stared at Felik in surprise, who didn't look like a joke at all, but was very serious that he would let him go.
Still have a fluke mentality, thinking that I will let him go?
No, he must not be allowed to have such dangerous thoughts.
With a bang, Walter stood up, slapped his hands on the table hard, leaned forward sharply to get close to Felik, Felik needed to tilt his head slightly to meet the other party's eyes, Walt's eyes were very serious, and with a hint of coldness, Felik felt an unprecedented sense of oppression, but he did not look away, but chose to look at the other party head-on, carefully pursuing the true inner emotion in the depths of his pupils.
Why don't you look away and still stare at me? A flash of panic flashed through Walter's heart, but he quickly calmed down.
"Felik, you must understand that there is no room for error in such a thing as a revolution, as long as it is ......"
As long as the rest of the words could be spoken, Walter's mouth was covered with his hand, and she looked at Felik in shock, while the other person was smiling and looking at herself, as if she had seen through everything.
"Don't say it, President, I know what you're going to say next. Why don't we do a multiple-choice question now? ”
Strange proposal, if someone else treated her like this, she might have broken the man's wrist and beat him severely, but staring at the young man in front of her, she did not have the slightest anger, but nodded suspiciously, and then sat back in her seat: "Okay, you just talk about it, I'll listen to it." ”
"It's very simple, I will never join the revolutionary army."
When this sentence was spoken, Walter frowned and was about to open his mouth to question, but Felik raised his head and signaled her to listen to him first, and Walter pressed the displeasure in his heart and swallowed the words from his mouth again.
"President, so there are only two options left in front of you now. The first option was that I would not agree to join the revolutionary army and be killed by those people outside the door. And the other option is to deceive them and let me go. But if this kind of thing is known to them, I think you will be punished quite severely, so what will be the punishment in this case? Felik said expressionlessly, without the slightest emotion, as if he really just analyzed the current situation and cited all the options, and he put this cruel choice in front of Walter.
"Betray the organization, expose the existence of the organization - death." Walter responded with an equally expressionless face.
Hearing this answer, Felik smiled instead.
"That's great, so there are only two options.
The first one is that I die.
The second is that you let me go, and you go with me.
I have the same goal as the Revolutionary Army, but I believe in myself more than the Revolutionary Army, so I will not join the Revolutionary Army, and now you also need to make a choice, the Revolutionary Army and me, who do you believe more? ”
"Felik, you guy!"
"President, I will save the rotten empire in your mouth, this is my promise! So make your choice! I...... Or the Revolutionary Army? ”
