The news released by Emperor Paul Gibson of Anken Rein had an impact on all the countries of the world that had archmages sooner than he expected. As soon as the Neglo Republic received the news, it stopped all military activities on the front line, and some high-ranking generals even began to turn around and rush to the capital with their troops. Kaber Luya even heard that when the news reached Sirama, the capital of the Neglo Republic, it caused a mass riot. However, just as he wanted to know more about it, the Neglo Republic finally remembered the existence of their envoys. Pierre Karell, the former President of the Republic of Neglo who had invited them to the Republic of Negro, was nowhere to be found, and people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the military of the Republic of Neglo politely sent the delegation to which Kaber Luya belonged and left a diplomatic statement to wait for the news to be confirmed before proceeding to discuss it.

"I said, I heard that you are relatively close to His Excellency Toby Dugall, the archmage, is that notice from the Ankenrein Empire true or false?"

On the sneering steam locomotive, Youngor Larson, head of the Third Republic mission to the Negro Republic, sat next to Caber Luya, his tone was both attentive and curious.

"I don't know ......", Caber Luya's mind has been in turmoil since he heard the news. He watched the Neglo Republic come to the brink of civil war because of this news, watched his envoy group being sent out of the country by the Neglo Republic, and watched himself embark on the way back with the others.

"I don't know," said Caber Luya, repeating his words as if to affirm himself, "the last time I saw Marshall Huff, the head of the Mage Tower, he didn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary. ”

"It's such a big thing, if there is an anomaly, there will be a problem. I don't know how it is in China, this trip back, even if it will take four days at the earliest, I'm worried. ”

Jacob Larsson was the Minister of Defense of the Third Republic of Fern, and at such a critical time, he should be sitting in Ferndingen, preparing for anything that might break out, rather than wasting time on a sneering steam locomotive. The distance from the Negru Republic to the Third Republic of Fern was inherently ineliable, and they had to travel by steam car across the border between the two countries to the nearest city where a steam locomotive could be used, and then return to Ferndingen by steam locomotive. In the meantime, if anything is going to happen in Verndingen, it has certainly happened. When they go back, if they are lucky, they can still see the ending, and if they are unlucky, they can only accept the arrangement of fate.

"Lord Larson", maybe he was silent for a long time, maybe he really wanted to find someone to talk to, Caber Luya took the initiative to speak, "If, if this thing is true, what do you think will happen in China?" ”

"Well, this ......", Jacob Larsson happened to hold back his stomach, although the Kaber Luya in front of him was born a little humble, but he was the leader of the fourth largest ruling party, and it should be appropriate to talk to him. Thinking of this, he no longer had any scruples and began to stir up his thoughts in the past few days.

"That's what I think about it, and since Anken Rein's statement came out, things have been very simple. The cunning Emperor knew about the Great Demon Tide beforehand, and had dealt with their Grand Magister, the unlucky man who had lost his magical powers. After that, he blocked the news, planning to take advantage of this time difference to attack the Negru Republic, while everyone was waiting for the Magister to come out to adjudicate, to create the established facts, and even attract everyone to help him fight the Neglo Republic and divide the fruits of victory. His idea is good, and the timing of his grasp is also very good, and he can find out that the Great Magus has lost his magic power at the first time, and he can also get rid of the control of the other party, which is also very powerful. But his only mistake was that he did not see clearly the gap in the national strength of the two countries. After all, in the eight hundred years of the magic equilibrium, the six major powers have never had a full-scale conflict at the national level, and only they know how effective each country is. The Neglo Republic has a parliamentary system, the capitalists are in power, the level of industrialization is very high, and the production capacity is also very strong, and once it is transferred to the wartime economy, it can immediately magnify its superiority in industrial production and weaponry. Anken Rein, with many people, is an old empire, but serfdom is destined to have relatively low productivity, and the industrial technology and level are not good, in addition to having a first-mover advantage, taking Tulucas, and once occupying two provinces of the Negro Republic, after which nothing has been achieved. Now that the war potential of the Negru Republic has been stimulated, the emperor saw that he had no hope of victory, so he came up with such a trick and announced the news to the world, so that everyone could mess with themselves. And his country has solved the chaos, so naturally he can get back the first-mover advantage. You see, I think that once a civil war breaks out in the Neglo Republic, Ankenrein will definitely swing eastward again, intending to take advantage of the chaos to cut a knife on the Neglo Republic! ”

Jacob Larson, Secretary of State for Defense, comes from the military, and is more concerned with the military intentions and strength of the two countries, and his analysis is also about the war at hand. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't know what was going on inside Anken Rein, the analysis he made would have hit the bull's-eye. But for Caber Luya, such an analysis helped him clear up the fog that covered the entire war in the past, but it did not help him solve the problem at hand.

"Well, Minister Larson, what you said is so good, I understand it at once", clumsy, half-truths, Caber Luya turned the subject to what he was more concerned about.

"But what I want to know more is what will happen to our country? Will they also fight? ”

"It's hard to say," Jacob Larson really thought, "I don't know exactly when the Great Devil Tide happened." The time in the statement of the Anken Rein Empire can only be used for reference, and I don't know whether it is true or not. We just suffered the loss of information asymmetry, which gave the Grand Magus about three or four months to prepare. If he is able to take control of the army and the main departments in these three or four months, then we will not have a war, and the Grand Magister will change his identity and even become president and remain in power. If he uses this time to seize power does not go well, and the two sides are at loggerheads, then an armed coup d'état or a military conflict of some magnitude could break out in Ferndingen. But the outbreak of a national war is unlikely", Larson said tiredly, he took out the kettle in the carriage, poured himself a glass of water, took a big sip, and continued.

"There is also a very small possibility that the Grand Magus has basically not seized power and intends to give up power. Then there will also be a smooth transition of power, and we will become a real republic. Personally, I prefer the final result, but I think, in fact, that we are probably facing the first or second result. ”

"But what's wrong with the Grand Magister's victory?" , Kaber Luya was indeed in a hurry, he basically didn't think much about it, and asked the question he was most concerned about.

"He? An old monster who can live for hundreds of years, die early and be born sooner! ”

After Jacob Larsson finished speaking, he remembered to wonder why Kaber Luya cared so much about the Archmage. He laughed twice, then comforted.

"But it's not easy to say, it's not necessarily a bad thing for the archmage to remain in power, anyway, we can't go back now, and when we go back, it is estimated that the dust will settle, and we will just wait to see the results, so that although we can't decide anything, we can at least ensure our own safety, right?"

Larsson was already sincere in what he said, and Caber Luya knew that with their level of information, they couldn't get any more information. He began to talk to the Minister of Defense about the army to pass the time, and gradually he came to the nearest city with a steam locomotive station.

"Commander, the staff at the station said that all the cars to Ferndingen have stopped, and there is news from the capital, and it is now forbidden to send people to Ferndingen, and all the troops will not move in place, and those who move the garrison without authorization will be regarded as rebellion!"

Reports from members of the legation made Larson and Caber Luya nervous. They must return to Verndingen, with good and bad results, but now that the station is closed, what can they do?

"I'll try!"

Larsson was the first to step out, and he and Caber Luya stepped off the train together, assumed the style of defense secretary, took the guards, and rushed directly into the station master's office. Pity the stationmaster, a petty officer the size of a sesame seed, how could he have seen the Secretary of Defense, who was fooled twice by Larson, and issued a passage order. Larsson and the legations called in a steam locomotive parked at the station and set out on the road to Verndingen.

The rest of the road was peaceful, and the railroad tracks leading to Verndingen were largely devoid of traffic, so Larsson told the driver to speed up to the top and head straight for Verndingen. Although he seems to be personable and calm on the surface, deep down, he is also worried about the direction of things.

On the third day of departure from Elalianza, the train sounded a loud whistle and was stopped by the garrison on the outskirts of Ferndinga. At this point, Larsson's position as Minister of Defense was easier, and he led the legation to one of the colonels in charge of the garrison in charge of the area, and led them into Ferndingen.

Although he had been away from the country for less than three weeks, Caber Luya was a little hesitant when he walked back on Ferndinge Street. There were far fewer pedestrians on the streets than before the news was announced, and as the streets became deserted, Kaber Luya gathered information through his observations and walked to 37 Mimuyu Road, where the Coalition of Trade Unions was located. However, just when he thought he could go home, he found soldiers with steam backpacks standing at the door of the trade union party headquarters, and they seemed to be identifying every passerby who passed in front of them.

Seeing these two soldiers, Caber Luya chuckled in his heart. He lowered his head and hurried past the door of 37 Mikiyu Road, pretending to be passing by, and walked to No. 29 Mikiyu Road, where he and Luna lived, and knocked on the wooden door.

"It's coming, it's coming", it was Stella who opened the door, her complexion didn't look very good, and she seemed to be under a lot of pressure. Caber Luya picked her up as soon as he saw her and pushed her into the house. Stella wanted to shout at first, but she quickly recognized it as Caber Luya, and her body instantly softened.

"You're finally back! Something is wrong!!! ”

Stella hugged Gastens tightly, her body trembling slightly, "They caught everyone in our party, everyone!" All the people in Courtyard 37 were taken away that day, and none of them came back! They say that the Grand Magister has lost his magic, that we have no backing for the Coalition Party, and that my uncle said that the Parliament is even planning to repeal the Expansion of Suffrage Bill and abolish all the membership of the Coalition Parliament! ”

"How dare they?!"

Despite the many affairs and risks ahead, Caber Luya was still angry when he heard the news that Stella told him. He can have the status he has today, how much he has paid, how much he has sacrificed! How could he and his trade union party be bullied by the Parliamentary Gang of Sun Tzu at will?

"Of course they dare!" Stella replied, raised her head, teary eyes, "Honey, let's run, the farther away the better, escape to Loren Robus, it's too dangerous here, the city has been killing people for the past few days, and those pyroxene lights can light up half the sky at night." They arrest people every night, and I heard that the police department prison is full, many people are being held in unknown places, and many people are missing-"

"No, we can't run!"

Caber Luya interrupted Stella and made her attitude clear.

"The party was built with great difficulty, how can it be destroyed so easily!"

"But, but ......"

Stella still wanted to struggle, but Caber Luya had already figured out a way, "That's it, Stella. I'll go directly to the Archmage, or the Marshall Huff director, and ask about the Archmage, and then we'll go to your grandfather and ask him to help us, how about it?" ”

"Yes...... Can ......"

Stella hesitated, she clutched Caber Luya's sleeve tightly, not wanting him to leave.

"You just came back and haven't eaten yet, can you eat before you leave?"

"How can I have time to eat now!"

Caber Luya was already very anxious at this time, and he glared at Stella a little anxiously, and his eyes seemed to scare Stella. The little girl let go of Caber Luya, turned and ran upstairs. Caber Luya watched her disappear down the stairs and realized that she had a bad attitude. But he knew that compared to Stella's petty emotions, it was the king to find out the situation of the Trade Union Party first and rescue those who were arrested. And the safety of the archmage is a prerequisite that he must know in any action.

It didn't take long for Kaber Luya to get from 27 Mikiyu Road, where Kaber Luya was located, to the Wand's Mage Tower, but his hurried footsteps were stopped two blocks from the Mage Tower. Soldiers in Ferndingen's green uniforms blocked the streets, forbidding anyone from entering the Tower.

"What can I do?"

Caber Luya stood on the street in a daze, wrapped up tightly. In front of him, the heavily armed guards stared at him as if he were a thug who had deliberately come to make trouble.

"Hey, what about you, what are you doing? Why go here? Are you going to the Mage Tower? ”

One of the soldiers saw Kaber Luya and stepped forward to inquire, and the chairman of the trade union party had a direct outburst of wit. He was silent for a few seconds before giving his own answer.

"I'm sorry, Master Jun, I heard that the Great Magister has no magic power, and I want to come and see the excitement. If you want to say no, I'll leave right away! ”

"Don't look at it, if he had magic powers, he would have killed us rebels a long time ago."

The guards gave a cruel answer, and Cabor Luya, who heard it, was once again stunned in the street. The black fear was like super water, gradually overwhelming him.
