After a long journey of several days. This small group of Bayi warriors who set off from the eastern border of the empire finally delivered a brand-new magical letter teleportation array to Jian Chen's hands.

Send away these angels. Chen Jian, who had regained direct contact with Empress Catherine, immediately took up the pen and wrote a letter to the Empress.

In the letter, he stated that he had a way to eliminate the Elementals' hostility to the Erathian Empire, or he could try to convince the Elementals to join forces with the Empire against the Kregans. But he had one,

Item.

He asked Queen Catherine to transfer Mlak from Hammondale.

"I am so insecure to have such a man who has a strong prejudice against me in Hammondal, and every night I am afraid that when I wake up, there is already an army of Mlak outside the castle, and in such a situation, I cannot believe everything your majesty has said."

Chen Jian wrote in the letter.

Although there is an element of exaggeration, Chen Jian does have quite scruples about Mlak in his heart.

Among the spies and spies captured by Pitt, there were as many as six sent by Mlak alone, and one of them even infiltrated Chen Jian's army.

According to the information obtained from interrogating these secret agents, Chen Jian found that Mlak had been monitoring him for a long time. He was clear about many of his actions, but he was at a loss.

This discovery made Chen Jian quite annoyed, and he also regretted his previous wariness.

If this situation had been detected earlier, things might not have turned out to be the way they are.

Although it was a little late to regret it now, Jian Chen still planned to try to get this guy in the way away.

Even if you can't get rid of it. It would also be good to take advantage of this incident and Catherine to delay a little longer.

But to Jian Chen's disappointment, Empress Catherine's current situation was powerless for this matter that was originally easy for her.

Because there has already been a coup d'état in the Erathian Empire.

The unfavorable situation on the front line and Empress Catherine's attitude towards the Elemental Clan caused widespread dissatisfaction among the Imperial ** team, making her already weaker and weaker prestige in the army greatly reduced again, and many generals who were originally swaying between Empress Catherine and the faction of the great nobles who opposed the Empress turned to the side of the great nobles after being disappointed in the Empress.

However, these were not enough to shake the throne of Empress Catherine, and the real killer of the great nobles who snatched military power and forced the empress to abdicate was someone else.

General Kendall, who had always trusted and entrusted Empress Catherine with the important task of guarding the imperial capital of Standwick for a long time, also betrayed her at this important juncture.

From the time Catherine was not born, the influence of General Kendall who had begun to serve the imperial family was quite terrifying, and the emperor ** officers trained by him were all over the country, and his performance in the last war also made his reputation rise in the empire.

Under the call of General Kendall, the imperial ** team everywhere either responded to the actions of the great nobles and asked Catherine to abdicate and make way for Xian, or they took a wait-and-see attitude and waited for the development of the situation, and only a few cutting-edge generals who were picked up by the empress in the last war, such as the playboy Christine who is famous for his lightning tactics in the continent, and the imperial high priest Ryan and others who are dual-line magic masters, still maintain their loyalty to the empress.

But the strength they have can no longer change the overall situation, and they are too scattered among each other. Can't match each other.

With the support of the army, the nobles immediately staged an armed coup d'état in Standwick, and General Kendall suddenly appeared in the city to support the actions of the nobles.

Overnight, Queen Catherine's remaining cronies in Standwick were wiped out, and the defenders of Gfinghardt, who were loyal to Queen Catherine, were deceived by General Kendall, and the rebels took the fortified castle with little effort.

Roland, who had not yet fully recovered, was found to have escaped from Standwick City with the castle defenders escorted. Whereabouts unknown.

Then the rebels and the great nobles jointly supported another member of the royal family, Lisander, as the new emperor of the empire, and General Kendall as the regent of the empire, and deposed Empress Catherine and no longer recognized her as empress.

As the proclamation signed by the new emperor and general Kendall spread all over the country, the imperial ** team that had taken refuge in the side of the great nobles rose up in response, and a number of famous imperial generals such as Mrak, Ronis, Cuthbert, Adric, Wellske, and Sosa led their armies to the side of the new emperor.

On the eastern border of the empire, the imperial ** team led by Empress Catherine also had a disagreement, Ou Ling, who went out with Catherine, suddenly announced that he obeyed the orders of the new emperor and the regent, and a considerable number of the imperial ** team rebelled with him, and Tarys, another famous imperial general stationed on the eastern border, also made the same decision, because of the mutiny secretly planned by these two people, coupled with the heavy losses of the descendants in the sneak attack of the Kerrigans, for a while, the army that Empress Catherine could control and order, It plummeted to less than 30,000.

Looking at the orders issued by the new emperor and Kendall asking him to relinquish his military power and prepare to leave for Enroth according to their arrangement, and the statements of Fubu obeying the orders of the new emperor and the regent came from all over the place. Catherine had a look on her face.

She never imagined that her single-minded desire to preserve a little more strength for the empire and avoid the re-damage of the empire's hard-recovered vitality would become the fuse of her final defeat.

She just couldn't figure it out. Why can't these people see clearly, although the empire now has the ability and strength to defeat the elemental clan and the Kregan, but the price to be paid is not something that the empire that has made enemies everywhere at this time can bear.

It's not that it's impossible to fight with all your might, but whether it's necessary or not, and whether it's worth it.

Don't they understand that the current situation is very different from when the Elven Kingdom invaded Hammondal?

Leaving aside the Kregans, who are already at war with the Empire, they don't understand that the Elemental Race of unknown origin does not have as many concerns as the Elven Kingdom, which can be seen from their unscrupulous behavior in the territory of the Empire, they are not so afraid of war with the Empire, on the contrary, they seem to rely on it, although it is not clear what this dependence is.

It is simply impossible to deter them with strong force and make them sit at the negotiating table because of this, once the war starts. With the strange abilities that these elementals can suddenly appear everywhere, if they suddenly appear in the heart of the empire, the empire will suffer quite a heavy blow

。

Blindly being tough will only make the empire constantly consume in the continuous wars and rebuild its strength, and then fight weaker and weaker in the quagmire of war, and eventually be surpassed by other countries.

Why can't these people be stunned by the necessary means of tenderness? In order to win over such a powerful ally, the necessary forbearance should also be due.

And the betrayal of General Kendall. It made Catherine's heart ache even more, she couldn't believe that this old general who had grown up watching her, was loyal to her father, who had desperately called on the people and nobles to support her in the last war, and fought side by side with her on the battlefield, and who had gone out and died together several times, and finally succeeded in driving all the enemies out of the empire, would betray herself like this

。

Judging from his actions, he had premeditated this betrayal at all, but he had always trusted him and never had any suspicions.

Why did he betray himself? Why did he join forces with the big nobles who opposed him? Doesn't he understand that even if he didn't, he would put him on the throne of regent of the empire?

What was his reason for doing this?

And the whereabouts of her husband Roland are unknown, which also worries Catherine, Roland's luck is really bad, he has just escaped from the clutches of the Kerrigans and encountered such a thing not long ago, and Archibald has already left Standwick, although the rebels should not do anything excessive to him because they are afraid that he is the legitimate ruler of the Iron Fist Dynasty, but his physical condition is something to worry about.

And what kind of actions those generals who are still loyal to them will make is also a headache for Catherine.

By now, she was disheartened.

She has made so many efforts, paid so many costs, abandoned her husband and children for several years, and was under pressure from all sides. Thinking about it day and night, it was just to make the empire rise again, but it was clear that this empire did not approve of her approach.

She knew that she didn't have a chance to fight back, although she had few troops in her hands, but she still had the Angel Legion she had secretly formed, and with the support of loyal generals such as Christine, she still had a good chance of defeating the rebels. Return to the throne and take the opportunity to purge the great nobles who oppose him.

But after this civil war. What is left of the Empire? How long will it take for the empire to regain its internal and external troubles? And the hostile countries around the empire that have begun to stir up will allow themselves such time?

And who will fight the current Krigan Doomsday Blade plan? Can he sit idly by and ignore their evil plans that Roland said would destroy the world?

Starting a civil war at this time will only make the empire perish faster, and how can he become the murderer who single-handedly destroyed the Erathia Empire?

Forget it, let them go, no matter whether this new emperor will become a puppet of the great nobles, whether Kendall is qualified or not to be the regent, at least their concessions can make the empire breathe for a while, maybe they can really make the empire rise in another way.

Catherine sighed helplessly. With both hands, he removed the crown that held his supreme power, and gently placed it on the table in front of him.

After staring at the crown for a long time, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, picked up her pen and began to write letters sent to various places.

"Someone! Send them all out at once! ”

When she had finished writing, Catherine gave a loud command and put on her knight's helmet, and after watching the intelligence officers take all the letters away, she grabbed her sword and strode out of the tent.

She is about to start her last line on the continent of Erathia

(I turned on the computer today and looked at it, and my eyes were full of everyone's encouragement, Childe was really moved, it turned out that there were so many people who supported Childe, everyone looked forward to it, Childe will not disappoint everyone!) (To be continued)
