She publicly recognized the legitimacy of the new Emperor Lisandr and the regent Kendall, stated that she had no intention of competing with the new emperor for the throne, and then in order to show her sincerity, she ordered all the imperial ** teams still loyal to her to lay down their arms and wait for the new emperor to be recruited.

At the same time, she also said that after the war with the Kregans was over, she and her husband Roland would leave the continent of Erathia and return to Enroth, and would never again intervene in all the affairs of the Elasia Empire.

But at the same time, she also made it very strong that she will not leave until the war with the Kregans is over, and she will lead all the Imperial ** teams that are still loyal to her, and do her last bit for the empire she loves so much, and complete her last battle on the continent of Esia.

These are Catherine's public statements about the coup.

She chose to do so because she feared that the loyal troops and generals would be indignant and start a war against the new emperor, plunging the empire into civil war.

This was something Catherine could not tolerate, and she did not want to see a civil war in the Empire because of her connections.

Rather than letting these forces be consumed in vain in the civil war, making the empire weaker and the enemy secretly applauding, it is better to control these forces in your own hands and make it a sharp sword for the empire to deal with foreign invaders.

The meaning of her own book is very clear, and she expressed it to Kenda Ji in words.

"This is the last thing I will do for this empire, and I sincerely hope that under your leadership. The Erathian Empire can be restored to its former glory! Once again the most powerful empire on the continent".

And the unknown and powerful angel army that she secretly formed, she also promised to hand over to Kendall before leaving the continent of Erathia.

To Catherine's relief, Kendall agreed to her request, but Kendall also stated that he would not provide any supplies, weapons or food for the army loyal to Catherine.

Catherine can also understand this, and it is her instead. He will also be uneasy about such an armed force that belongs to the empire but is not under his control. Especially at a time when this force could threaten her dominions.

Transferring all the defenses of the eastern frontier to Orling, Catherine left the eastern defense line with an army of less than 30,000 men and began to march towards Hammondal.

The defense line on the eastern frontier was already quite solid by this time, although the Kerrigans attacked frequently. But they can no longer achieve absolute superiority as before, and the elementals are still going their own way. The local scuffle between the three parties has reached a stalemate.

Even without Catherine's 30,000 troops, the Imperial defenders could last for a while, and the reinforcements sent from within the Empire had already set out, whether it was Kendall or the big aristocratic group, they couldn't wait to prove to the Imperial people that they would do better than Catherine's reign, and defeating the Kerrigans on the battlefield was undoubtedly the most intuitive way.

So Catherine chose to go to Hammondal, where she prepared to attack the Kregans from the other direction in order to relieve the pressure on the eastern front of the Empire, a task that was supposed to be done by Kendall and Mrak. But now, Catherine felt that this task suited her very well.

She knew that under her call, Christine and the others would definitely lead the army to join her. Catherine deliberately let these forces that would bring destabilization to the empire be consumed on the battlefield, and it was a good choice to take the initiative to attack the Cregans from Hammondale and directly into the Ofer homeland.

However, this does not mean that she will let this army die in vain, she will take this army that is not tolerated by the Empire, show their last bravery on the battlefield, and then prove their loyalty to the Empire with blood.

In this way, she hopes to significantly weaken the army. They will no longer be able to influence the reign of the new emperor after the war, and on the one hand, they hope that through their performance, they can make the empire re-admit the elites among them who have survived the war after their departure.

And the evil plans of the Kerrigans must also be stopped.

In order not to let the empire suffer too much damage in the war with the Elementals, Catherine asks Kendall to keep peace with the Elementals for the time being.

"I know that under your leadership, there will be a war between the Empire and the Elementals, but I hope you can delay this war a little later, I have the confidence that the Elementals and the Empire will temporarily form an alliance, and then deal with the Devil Kerrigan together, I think when they and the Devil Clipgan are both defeated, you will make a move, not only can the Empire suffer a little less losses. It can also better achieve your prestige. Although we do it differently, I believe it. Our purpose is actually the same, you have watched me grow up since I was a child, and you know how much I love this country, you should know that I will not do anything to harm this country, so. Don't go to war with the Elemental Clan first, and don't behave hostilely against Hammondal's Chen Jian, because. He will be the key to my connection to the elementals

Erathia led the country in a coup d'état. Catherine's second and second emperors, the impact on the continent of Erathia is multifaceted, and the hostile forces that have suffered from Zeng Xiao Tingbu all applauded.

And Chen Jian was stunned by this news.

He knew that Catherine would abdicate one day. But he never imagined that Catherine would lose ground before the war was over.

She was an important link in her temporary peace with the Empire, and her abdication was a sign of Mrak's attitude towards herself. Wouldn't the emperor want to start a war with himself immediately?

Chen Jian thought of this. It's a big head.

However, the next change in the situation made him breathe a heavy sigh of relief.

Catherine abdicated though. But did not give up the fight against the Kregans, that is, until the end of the war, he was still useful to her.

And Catherine also wrote a letter to Jian Chen. Make it clear that you want to ally yourself with the Elementals against the Kregans. But due to her current situation, there is no way to meet Chen Jian's request.

But she threw another tempting condition at Jian Chen.

"Come and help me when the war is over. Come back to Enloth with me, and I'll recommend you to Roland, and let you show off your skills in Enloth, and when the time comes, you'll get it." will be more than what you have now".

I have to say that this tempting condition made Jian Chen tempted.

But then. Chen Jian threw this idea to the back of his mind.

Such a promise was too unsafe, and he had lost faith in Catherine.

Not to mention the current situation. It's kind of weird.

Now that Catherine has abdicated. Why does she still have an army? Why could she still fight the Kregans? And in the letter, she also stated that she was currently on her way to Hammondal, and that she had gathered all the troops that were still willing to be loyal to her, ready to fight the Cregans to the death? Aren't those people in the empire afraid that Catherine will do something against them with the power at hand?

Jian Chen didn't know about the agreement Catherine had reached with Kendall, nor did he know what Catherine really thought about doing this, but his intuition told him that there might be something wrong with it.

But he couldn't figure out where the problem was.

Therefore, Chen Jian once again convened his subordinates to discuss, and the stakes were very high. He felt compelled to get this straight.

Facing Chen Jian's questioning. The half-elves and the others looked at each other, until Sima gave an incredible answer: "Catherine may have wanted to kill someone with a knife."

This sentence made Chen Jian's heart skip a beat, as if he had grasped some important key.

And Sima saw that everyone was puzzled. He also simply explained: "According to the lord, Catherine did not want the empire to have a civil war, so she abdicated, even so, judging from the importance she attaches to the stability of the empire, could she have made such a strange move because she was afraid that these armies that only obeyed her orders but were unwilling to obey the new ruler would become an existence that endangered the stability of the empire?" After all, she couldn't bring all these loyal troops to Enroth, but she couldn't safely leave them in the Erathian Empire to become a source of trouble, so she used the hands of the Kregans to consume these armies. Wouldn't it be the best choice? Kill two birds with one stone! ”

"And it is likely that Catherine has made some secret agreement with the new ruler of the Empire. That's why the empire will sit idly by and watch her actions remain indifferent, after all, her actions are only good for the new rule, but not harmful! The change of power can be completed without bloodshed, and if I am the emperor of the empire, I will definitely support her approach, and then give the necessary restrictions in other aspects, so that she can't sit big and leave! For example, to control the supply of this army, to control the size of this army. and surveillance with greater force, among others

Sima's words stunned everyone.

Half-elf Pete ate and said, "It's impossible, those armies are dead to Catherine, how could Catherine let them die?" ”

Pete's words made Sima smile coldly: "Nothing is impossible, politics is much darker and crueler than you think!" As long as the goal can be achieved, no matter how bloody and despicable the process is, it is acceptable! Because history is always written by Katsu, and the process is always described by Katsu! Betrayal, betrayal, abandonment, sacrifice, and unscrupulous means to achieve the end are just normal things in the eyes of a qualified politician as normal as eating and drinking! And Catherine is undoubtedly an excellent politician, which is why she has been able to hold the imperial throne for so many years with such a sensitive identity! ”

As he spoke, Sima's eyes swept over everyone one by one: "You guys are all true every day."

Finally, her eyes fixed on Jian Chen: "Lord Lord, you are the same, but what makes me happy is that at least you can still discover the hidden dangers of this matter, that is, you have begun to stop being so naïve." You're slowly becoming a qualified leader, and I read you right! (To be continued)
