The society of the other world was very backward, and the spread of information was very slow, and it was only a few days later that the news of the defeat of the empire reached the imperial capital with the rout.

The imperial capital swept the world, and the proud elite army ran back with their armor abandoned, and that spectacular scene cast a shadow on the empire.

The elite who escaped back were less than one-third of what they were when they set out on the expedition, although most of the SOS regiment did not move, but it gave them a heavy psychological blow, they could fight for the empire, but they were just ordinary people, and they were powerless to resist in the face of demons.

As a result, most of them fell into the trap, and they would rather abandon the Empire's favorable treatment than face the demons.

"After only capturing a few civilians from the other world, I judged that the other party had no combat effectiveness! Rushing to the side of the 'door' is obviously wrong! ”

The faintly dark chamber is solemn and solemn, with no ornate decorations, only a chamber made of boulders full of tranquility and heaviness.

With their backs to the walls of the prototype, facing the gates, were lined up with seats, Emperor Molt? Saul? Argystairs sat on a throne in the center.

The senates, representing the ruling class of the empire, surrounded the center like stars and moons.

As a member of the Senate and one of the nobles, the Marquis of Cajar spoke bluntly and explicit words to Emperor Moult, who was on the throne in the center of the council hall.

The Marquis of Cajer was born into the barony, a noble class that is by no means very high.

After accumulating his resume and taking up the position of minister, he got a seat in the Senate.

Such hard-working senators are very inclined to fulfill their position and responsibilities. In other words, it's a lot of energy. This type of person is often intimidating, and the more feared it is, the more aggressive it becomes, so the lip and tongue attacks are very sharp.

The situation is very bad right now.

This expedition not only lost sixty percent of the Empire's total strength, but also dealt a heavy blow to the Empire's invincible elite, and would shake the powerful deterrent power in the hearts of others.

And most importantly, this time the losses were heavy. But nothing was gained, even the "door" was gone!

It can be said that the preparation that the empire has spent a lot of time and resources on for this has been wasted!

Perhaps the disappearance of the "Gate" is a good thing for the Empire. At least don't worry about the enemy on the other side of the gate, counterattack when the empire is at its weakest.

However, now that there are only forty percent of the army left, how can we maintain the hegemony of the empire?

For the first thirty years of Emperor Mort's accession to the throne, he pursued a militaristic politics. Frictions and disputes with the various foreign countries that surrounded the frontier, as well as the domestic princes and tribes, were resolved by the deterrence of force, so that the empire could be peaceful and tranquil.

In the face of overwhelming military power. Either country can only express obedience.

Those who do not obey have been destroyed.

However, now that most of the overwhelming military power to maintain hegemonic rule has been lost, what will the many forces that have so far endured take in the face of the paper tiger, which has already weakened?

The most troublesome thing is that from the mouths of the soldiers who fled from the rout, they learned a very bad news - although the "Gate" was destroyed, the people who routed their army were still here!

Such a terrifying enemy, who had crushed their invincible army head-on, was in their country at this time!

It's like the sword of Damocles hanging over their heads. They had no idea when or from what angle the sword would fall and cut off their heads.

"Your Majesty! You, how are you going to lead the country!? ”

The Marquis de Cajer finished his speech and sat back in his seat. Moult, because of his slow, steady demeanor, leaned slightly on the throne.

His gaze didn't wander in the slightest, and he looked straight at Kajer, who was accusing him.

"Marquis, Qing should also know in his heart. Due to the loss this time. The Empire's military superiority had been shaken. Will the foreign countries or the princes show their hidden fangs and raise the banner of rebellion and march to the imperial capital...... I'm afraid I can't sleep at night driven by terror, right? It's heart-wrenching. ”

Hearing the Emperor's teasing words, the solemn atmosphere of the meeting hall was shaken by a faint ridicule.

"Members of the Senate. I hope you will recall the Battle of Akutek two hundred and fifty years ago. What kind of actions did our great ancestors do when they received the news of the rout of the whole army? It is the condemnation of the loss of courage and pride, the preparation for peace synonymous with defeat, and what are the words of women? 'What if you lose 56,000? This level of quantity, no matter how much, will be born to you to show you the anecdote of the heroines who rolled up their skirts to show others, right? ”

"Crises of this magnitude have been experienced several times since the opening of the Empire. Our empire, the emperors and senates, and the people have all worked together to face difficulties and grow to such a grand stage. ”

This expedition was the most elite soldiers of the Empire, with battle-hardened veterans, powerful mages, and excellent commanders.

Despite this, it only took half a day for the vanguard to lose news, and then the enemy on the other side of the "gate" invaded, and then the "gate" disappeared.

Although the "door" is gone, it can be opened again.

In the heart of Emperor Molt, the ambition to expand the territory is still indelible.

Although the SOS regiment has crushed the morale of the Empire, if it can reassemble the fleeing rout, then the loss of the Empire is actually not large. As a result, the empire has created an illusion that "the enemy has a powerful and mysterious power, but the lethality is not great", which is also one of the reasons why they can still have the illusion that "I can kill the opponent" after defeat.

They may think that as long as they don't take it lightly, their opponents are not a big deal.

The main battle faction and the main peace faction quarreled endlessly, and finally the emperor decided to unite the armies of the various countries and once again prepare to open the "gate" and launch an invasion to the side of the "gate".

And the task of searching for the invaders (SOS Regiment), Moult gave it to his daughter Pinna. It's not that I'm optimistic about Pinna, but I just use Pinna and her knights, who are always jokingly called playing war games, as bait.

……

Mellulu and her teammates were stuck there for days, at a loss, and just as they were about to give up the mission, the "door" opened again!

And spies from all over the world, who had already received information, also infiltrated other worlds at the same time as the "door" opened. (To be continued......)
