Chapter 226: The Internal Affairs of the Empire
Monto Empire, the council hall of the Royal Palace.
Emperor Taylor III listened with great irritability as the four Grand Dukes, the 12 Marquis themselves, or their representatives were here to blame each other and fight with each other.
Taylor III is definitely not in the top 5 in the ranking of the 25 emperors of the Monto Empire, but he is definitely not in the bottom 5, which is considered a relatively mediocre emperor.
The strength of a level 22 legendary mage is quite passable. He is already 110 years old and has been in power for 60 years, and according to the current plan, he will pass on his position to his favorite prince Dioni in a few years.
But Dioni is not unlucky, he is really unlucky, caught up with the largest invasion of the Heterotopic Plane in the past thousand years, and the sneak attack on the South Ocean Continent Continent, which led to the annihilation of the Eastern Continent Coalition Army, 1.5 million troops were wiped out, and 15 legendary battle losses, including his own brother - the top 10 powerhouses of the plane, the peak legend Siano!
Originally, this shame must have been carried by himself, becoming the first emperor to let the heterotopic plane invade the depths of the plane since the founding of the empire, who would have thought that the house leak happened to rain overnight, and the ship was late and encountered a head wind!
The Nanyang Continent, which was originally scattered, was actually united by a huge force to unite a group of extremely primitive indigenous people such as the Wa, Ni, and Indian peoples, and actually mobilized more than 20 legions with a total of 3 million troops, and in 30 days, attacked 23 cities, killed a total of 700,000 imperial troops, and slaughtered more than 5 million imperial subjects, and advanced 4,000 kilometers in a very strong continuous manner, all the way north, and hit the city of St. Atobek.
And all this the empire actually just knew, not only did there not have decent resistance, but even almost all the news was cut off by the other side!
The high-ranking officials of the empire were angry and shouted, Duke Carmen in the southern part of the empire had a white face after the agent in the imperial capital got the news, and several other count's agents in the southern part of the empire were also dumbfounded.
Now these dukes, counts, and several princes who have no real power but have a very high status are asking Taylor III for their crimes, although they will not initiate a proposal to depose him, but they must find someone to take the blame, so as to give an explanation to all the nobles of the Montor Empire.
Dioni, the eldest prince who served as the commander of the coalition forces on Skull Island and whose only son escaped, became the first choice, but because of the desperate protection of Taylor III, everyone could not reach a consensus for a long time.
"You all know the situation of Skull Island, no matter who is the leader of this one, the outcome is the same, it is not Diony who loses, but the Monto Empire and even the entire Eastern Continent. Besides, our royal family has died a peak legend, he is my own brother! He didn't choose to escape, just to compensate for the defeat of Skull Island, which was enough to appease the anger of the nobles! So Dioni can't ask for the guilt so hastily! ”
Although Taylor III is not the lord of Zhongxing, the position of the emperor for decades has invisibly increased his majesty, and he is almost a coffin, guarding his eldest son with an extremely strong attitude.
"Well, may I ask Your Majesty, the 3 million troops of the Nanyang Continent slaughtered all the way to the imperial capital, and they were almost not hindered by any decent obstacles, so who is responsible for the invasion of the Nanyang clans?" Prince Wattsworth, a legendary magician, feared his emperor and his younger brother, and confronted Emperor Taylor III with improgation.
"Hmph, this defeat is not a crime of war! The Duke of Carmen in the south destroyed 2 main legions in 5 years, and the remaining 500,000 or so troops were scattered over more than 3 million land, while the family of the Count of Yvelyn and the family of Count Rodney, although together they had a complete 4 legions, faced the same problem and dispersed their forces.
In the face of such a powerful, sudden and long-planned surprise attack on the entire South Sea Continent, it is certainly impossible to form an effective resistance. These families will inevitably avoid its edge, gather forces to harass the rear of the Nanyang army, and then get in touch with the garrison of the imperial capital before deciding on a war plan.
The Imperial Fourteenth Army Corps belonging to the imperial family in South Moravia, the southern gate of the imperial capital, had all been martyred, successfully delaying the 300 troops of the South Seas for 4 days.
Now I want to ask you, Your Excellency Wordsworth, the legendary Archmage! Who is to blame for this failure? "Taylor III's decades of emperor were not for nothing.
In this extremely turbulent period, in the face of Prince Wattsworth's questioning of himself, he pulled the Carmen family and the family of Count Evelyn and the family of Count Rodney from the opposite side of his side with a few simple words, and also created a false impression for the three families, as if Prince Wordsworth wanted to make the three families responsible for this failure!
"Your Majesty is right, in the face of such a front, the Carmen Legion will definitely avoid the edge first and have other plans!" The Grand Duke of Carmen was not there, and the agent of the Carmen family quickly explained without waiting for Prince Wattsworth to speak.
The other two families followed suit.
Prince Wordsworth really didn't expect that it should be the responsibility of Taylor III, and he actually let him say a few words and a few words! What's even more infuriating is that before entering the palace, the three southern families who are obviously on the same front as themselves actually stood on the side of Taylor III in an instant! It's infuriating, infuriating!
"Listen to you say that, the feelings are our merit! It turns out that we have won a big victory! Prince Wordsworth said sarcastically.
"Humph! Now it's a matter of dealing with the 3 million troops outside the city, and if Lord Wordsworth is unhappy with me, he can submit a proposal to the Senate to depose him, and I'll wait! If not, don't talk about it here! When Taylor III saw that the most unstable southern tribes were on his side, his tone suddenly hardened, and he did not give Prince Wordsworth any face!
"Hmph, you think I don't dare, it's just that I estimate the safety of the empire and don't want to take advantage of the danger! But you just said that if you break the sky, someone will also be responsible for this crisis, is the Imperial St. Atobek a place where he comes and fights when he says it? If you don't give an explanation to the nobles of the empire, what is the status of the imperial capital? What is the majesty of the imperial family??? "There is nothing wrong with Prince Wattsworth's words, it depends on how Taylor III answers.
"I have already thought about it, arrest all the people from the Nanyang Continent in the imperial capital, behead half of them in front of the people of the imperial capital, and the other half will be brought to the city wall and beheaded in the army of the Nanyang clans!" A single sentence of Taylor III had already decided the fate of nearly 20,000 Nansears in the city of St. Atobek.
At the beginning of the 18th Universe New Era.
The siege of the first legion in the era of ten thousand wars began, and the credit was still the fortified city known as the first in the world.
3 million Nanyang troops will attack, and 1.5 million imperial capital troops will defend.
The first siege began in the early morning of one day, and has now been going on for seven days, with 200,000 Nanyang attacking troops killed and 50,000 defenders of the Monto Empire killed.
St. Atobeque is not the largest city in the world, the Nanyang troops killed 20 people, but they didn't even go up to the city wall, and 20 battering rams were scrapped, and even the wood of the gate was not broken!
