Chapter 44: Night (3)
Shagru slammed his punch into the sandbox, simply shattering the model of Smart's Imperial Capital into pieces. He said grimly: "Yes, we have the most powerful national strength on the mainland, and we have the most powerful legion on the mainland, but this time, we have fought the biggest defeat in the history of the continent. The Five Beast Legion was almost wiped out, and the soldiers of the three major military systems were also killed and wounded. 。 ”
Shagru simply slammed the glass on the ground and uttered a foul slurch. Messeau and the others bent down in horror, not daring to look at Shagru again, only Ray looked at Shagru with burning eyes, the bottle had been crushed by his hands.
Shagru looked at Ray with satisfaction and said, "Ray, you are the only surviving warrior in Grimm's new army, right?
Ray nodded heavily, and said hoarsely, "I swore that I would tear that Kalin's miscellaneous to shreds, and if it could, I would destroy the entire Smart Empire... I don't care how many people I kill, but my father told me when I was very young that if someone slashed you, you had to kill his whole family. ”
Shagru raised his eyebrows, and muttered in his heart: "The barbaric style of the common people in the mountains, but I like it, this custom is simply wonderful." He complimented loudly: "Yes, General Ray, I agree with you, they killed your compatriots, killed your companions, you have to take revenge on them, don't you? I'm very happy that you have the will to fight. ”
Jerry and Gaddafi raised their heads and shouted loudly, which was nothing more than the slogan of smashing the capital of Smart and killing the entire nobles of Smart.
Shagru looked at the three furious generals with satisfaction, and smiled at Seedock with satisfaction. He reassured in a harmonious voice, "Yes, I can understand, I can understand your thoughts. This time, the losses of our empire were very heavy. A total of two thousand seven hundred and ninety-five Golden Fifth Order Knights lost their lives, the Five Beast Legions, the three major military lines, and the private legions of several local provinces... Well, I have to admit that I have a lot of responsibility for Shagru. ”
Everyone was stunned, and Messo said carefully: "Your Majesty... ”
Shagru waved his hand: "Yes, I must take my share of responsibility, Messo, the four of you are the most loyal courtiers of the empire, and Gaddafi and the three of you are now the most experienced and enthusiastic generals in the empire, I have nothing to hide in front of you." I will make a secret decree to condemn myself and apologize to the entire Imperial Army. But in order to boost morale, General Lei's exploits will be distributed at the same time, and the wording of this will depend on you. Within a year's time, I will strive to restore the Five Beast Legion and the directly subordinate legions of the three major military systems to their former strength, no, stronger than before. ”
Siddock bowed movingly, and exclaimed: "Your Majesty, personally admit your mistakes, in the history of the continent, you are the first, I see the sign of a great emperor, you will definitely leave a heavy mark in the history of the empire." ”
Shagru smiled, "Yes? He easily poured himself a glass of wine and abruptly changed the subject: "Look, this is my third time here, and I'm really a little puzzled why we have suffered such a big failure under my leadership." ”
Krees comforted: "Your Majesty, this is the enemy's cunning, not your fault. ”
Shagru shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, no, it's my fault, it's my fault." Since I ascended the throne, I have relaxed a lot of things, I have neglected that the Van Empire is an empire founded by force, I have neglected my real responsibility as the emperor of the empire... Behold, I have always made it the greatest pleasure of my life to conquer those lovely ladies and ladies and ladies of your life. Whenever I drove through their bodies, I always felt a very strong sense of pleasure, as if I had conquered an entire continent. ”
Lei looked at Shagru in confusion, and muttered in his heart: "It's strange, is it so fun to do that kind of thing with women? So, will you call two women to my bed next time?"
Shagru's hand slashed and cried out loudly, his long hair fluttering in a strange wind, and a very strong coercion filled the hall. He shouted, "Thank you to the Smart Empire, to that damn Carlin, they brought me to my senses, made me understand... Hah, conquering countless men, conquering those damned nobles, conquering damned emperors, conquering damn empires, conquering entire continents, is what I, Shagru, you, my loyal courtiers of Shagru should do. ”
The four old men of Messeau applauded, and Siddock bowed to Shagru. Their family's interests depend on conquering the surrounding countries, so why don't they want to meet a strong emperor?
And Gaddafi, Jerry, and Ray drew their swords and swore loudly that they would take revenge on all the coalition empires.
Shagru roared loudly: "Look, look at this sand table, look at this beautiful continent, look at this damned continent... I can feel, I can feel how restless our Emperor was when our invincible army stepped into their land... Damn it, at the beginning of the war, when we were losing and retreating, do you know how scared I was in my heart? God, I've been asking myself, am my throne coming to an end, am I going to be the fallen king of the Vatican Empire?"
Shagru took a few steps forward and struck the chests of Gaddafi, Jerry, and Ray: "Thank you, the ancestors of the Van Empire for your protection, your desperate battles have given me time, and at the same time, the fear in my heart finally made me decide to mobilize the Knights of Glory... Oh my God, with the help of the damned Peace Pact, the people of the 'City of God' have no authority over the movements of the Knights of Glory, and we have finally turned our defeat into victory. Therefore, no matter how much I reward you, it is not enough to express my gratitude. ”
Gaddafi took Ray and Jerry to his knees and replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, you have overdone it." ”
Shagru laughed and took a few steps back, and said with a smile: "Get up, get up, don't be polite, hehe... ”
He looked at the sand table sharply, and said with a cruel smile: "I must completely return the taste I once received to those damned emperors." The Smart Empire now occupies the land of our three provinces, we will be the first to take them, hmph, a year, after we have trained a strong enough army, I will completely raze the Smart Empire. ”
The seven Van courtiers in the hall cheered loudly: "Hurrah, raze Smart." ”
Shagru sneered: "Messo, do you understand your mission? You are responsible for everything outside the world, and I ask to tie the Bicester Empire firmly to our side, understand?"
Messeau bowed: "Naturally, Your Majesty, the Bicester Empire does not dare to disobey us, otherwise we will attack them." ”
Shagru sneered: "Very good, Shaxx, continue to send spies, and at the same time activate those nobles of various countries that we have bought, and ask them to create disputes within each country, I want Wright to fight with the Darker Empire, let Ryford and the Ritter Empire fight, and then, we will join Bistter's iron cavalry and attack the Smart Empire, understand? You have a year to reorganize your intelligence network, don't let me down." ”
Shaxx bowed down in fear, even claiming yes.
"Then, Siddock and Krees, you have worked hard for you, and all the affairs of the country depend on you. Private armies everywhere must report their exact numbers. Tell the dukes and the lesser lords that if they dare to conceal the number of their private army, they will be charged with treason. I ask each of them to have an elite, combat-ready legion under them, and not to hide a large but ineffective garbage team... In addition, the training of the army directly under the imperial capital depends on you, Siddock, and I authorize you to select strong soldiers and excellent knights from all over the country to supplement the newly formed legions. ”
Siddock replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, the current Five Beast Legion has a scale of 750,000 people, and the direct legions of the three major military systems have also been rebuilt, with a total of 450,000 soldiers. Can the knight add, this soldier... ”
Shagru laughed: "No, I thought about it, I gave you the authority to continue to expand the size of the army, of course everything is secret. Five Beast Legions, expand me to one million. The 1.5 million troops of the three major military systems have sufficient financial and material resources to make them invincible heroes. ”
Siddock and Krees bowed in joy and took a few steps back. Siddock was glad that his power had expanded again, and that the more troops and officers he had, the greater his power. As for Kreese, it is natural that he can get a little more oil and water from the belongings he handles.
Shagru nodded with satisfaction and said, "I don't want to experience that feeling of being oppressed and coerced again, so I decided to take the initiative to bully others, and resolutely do not allow other countries to pose any threat to us again." ”
