Chapter 61: The Unavoidable War (Part II)

On the other hand, when the wheel of war rumbled again and the armed conflict between the empire and the Chinese was about to explode, Princess Pinna, who was detained as a hostage in the State Guesthouse on the Arnus Hills, was also shocked to find herself stuck in the cracks of the wheel of war.

“…… Those otherworldly people...... Is this really how you replied to the royal brother? Such vulgar words...... This copy can't be fake, right? ”

In the luxurious suite of the hotel, looking at the two copies of the letters brought to him by Penny Bead, the leader of the White Rose detachment, Emperor Sochar's letter of persuasion to the people of the other world, and the reply of the people of the other world, Princess Pinna, the leader of the Knights of the Rose Order, was suddenly confused, and then her head was as big as a fight.

“…… It should be true, anyway, Sochar's envoy did say so, and the small army of Otherworlders who stayed in Itarica City, after Sochar's envoy left with the reply, directly pasted a copy of the letter of surrender and the reply at the gate of the city, and then retreated from the city. ”

Penny Chu replied with a wry smile, "...... The city of Itarica is in chaos right now, and many people are preparing to escape. ”

“…… Then why don't you keep order and come here instead? Well, anyway, none of this has anything to do with me. I don't know what the otherworldly people will do to me! Also, Penny, this has come to this, why don't you just leave the team and go home, but also throw yourself into the net? ”

Princess Pinna sat down on the sand and sighed with blank eyes, "O gods! How did things get to this point?

- According to Princess Pinna's thoughts before she came to the Arnus Hills, whether it is the Imperial Senate or the new emperor, her second brother Diapo, is a rational and conservative style. In the face of the unfavorable situation in which the empire is now full of rebellions and crumbling, it will definitely respond cautiously to the arrival of the people from the other world, and will never rashly move the sword soldiers and ask for their own hardships. The Otherworlders seem to be quite restrained, at least they don't see any signs of wanting to take advantage of the fire. Although the Empire opened the space-time gate on the hills of Arnus in order to rob the other world on the other side of the door - this matter was publicized by the entire Big 6, and it was impossible to hide it at all, and the people of the other world already knew about it. But after all, the two sides did not really fight, so there is still room for de-escalation.

In Princess Pinna's opinion, anyway, because of the limitations of the "door" itself, it is impossible for the people of the other world to stay forever on the Falmatt Big 6. As long as you have an attitude of delaying time, you can negotiate slowly with people from the other world, but you must not negotiate and collapse. Or pay a certain concession and price appropriately, in exchange for the opportunity to communicate with each other, and learn the culture, technology and knowledge of the people of the other world, which is the most reasonable choice for the empire.

Who knew that her reckless and irascible eldest brother Sochar really succeeded in rebelling, defeating the Senate and the Praetorian Guard in such a short time, killing the second brother Diabo, who had ascended the throne and becoming emperor, and seizing the emperor's throne by force - so Princess Pinna's previous plans were all in vain.

Her Knights of the Roses suffered heavy losses at the end of the war, and were sent back to report to the Imperial Senate about the arrival of the Otherworldlys. Aruud, who died in the battle of Lendel. Among the entourage of more than 100 riders, only the Red Rose detachment leader Shirley. Pluto. One of the people escaped back to Itarica, while the others were either killed in battle or lost and their whereabouts were unknown.

Next, the correspondence between Sochar and the Otherworldly People, full of mutual harm, ruined Princess Pina's last hope.

- The war is already doomed, and Emperor Sochar may not care about Pinna's life or death at the hands of the Otherworlders.

Since ancient times, the royal family has always been weak and fighting. Even Pinna's father, Emperor Molt, usurped the throne from his nephew. And Diabo's throne is also strictly speaking from the wrong way. As for Sochar, who openly rebelled and seized the throne, since he was able to kill his second brother Diapo for the throne, he did not hesitate to let the entire big 6 bleed, and naturally he would not care about the life of his half-sister, who was not close.

What's more, when her father died, Princess Pinna was the regent of the empire, and Diabo's throne was equivalent to being inherited from her. Although she couldn't help herself at that time, Brother Sochar probably didn't understand her difficulties, but only saw her as Diabo's remnant!

And, in any case, some members of her Knights of the Rose took part in the Battle of Lendl and, by order of the Senate, sided with Diabo. If Sochar investigates this, I'm afraid that the hostility towards Pinna will be even deeper.

- Cornered, in a dilemma, at a loss...... Anyway, by now, Princess Pinna doesn't know what to do at all

And in the current chaos of Farmatt Big 6, Princess Pinna is far more than the one who doesn't know what to do at all.

“…… Go home? Your Royal Highness, are you kidding? Now, where do I have a home to go back to? "Penny Beads. Frey. Miss Baron Gelky smiled miserably, "...... Sochar has ordered that Baron Gergi be stripped of his title and confiscated of all my property! My family was slaughtered by the Fallen Territory for fighting against Sochar's army by force, and only my mother fled to the city of Itarica......"

“…… What the?!!! Princess Pinna's eyes widened, "...... Brother Sochar ...... How could he do such a thing?!! ”

“…… Why not? He's already an emperor! Nature can do whatever it wants. And there are reasons for that. ”

Penny continued to laugh miserably, "...... It is said that shortly after he ascended the throne, he suddenly suffered an assassination, and then, the investigation and recovery of this assassination case soon turned into a purge of all the imperial nobles, and the punishment was unprecedentedly severe......"

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

In fact, when the nobles and knights in Itarica City just heard that Sochar had won the civil war and ascended to the throne, their first reaction was to accept their fate and submit to their fate—after all, this imperial civil war was still a matter of the royal family. Now that the result has been made, it is time for them outsiders to stop: don't you see that after Emperor Diapo was killed, half of the remaining senators surrendered?

In this case, why should they, who are weak marginal figures, fight with Emperor Sochar?

Even if the reputation of this new emperor is really not good, but are there still fewer mediocre kings throughout the ages? Pinch your nose and bear with it!

Therefore, when the envoys of Emperor Sochar came to Itarica, both the Knights of the Rose and the Count of Vermar were extremely hospitable and offered a lot of bribes, and even in the Knights of the Rose, there was a proposal to capture a small group of Otherworldly officers and soldiers stationed in the city as a gift to the new emperor. Most of the people in the city still have a vivid memory of the floating warship that soared into the sky and oppressed all living beings a few days ago, and they really didn't dare to kill themselves, so they finally rejected this crazy idea on the grounds that "the two armies will not fight each other".

However, not long after Sochar's envoy left with a reply, a terrible news came from the other side of the Romanian mountains: Emperor Sochar, who was stationed in the city of Lendl, suddenly raised his butcher's knife and opened a killing spree, carrying out a great purge of the imperial aristocracy who had just surrendered to him!

- Shortly after the envoy to the Otherworldly Empire arrived in Itarica, Emperor Sochar was suddenly assassinated while reviewing his army. Although Sochar himself suffered only a few abrasions and the Assassin was killed on the spot, Sochar was outraged and ordered a thorough investigation of the case...... Later, it was found out that it was several veterans who pretended to surrender, and united with an ambitious general to plan the assassination.

But the problem is, it doesn't end there. Since all of the above-mentioned criminals committed suicide in fear of crime before being arrested, or tried to flee in advance without knowing what to do, and failed to catch any important life, Sochar believed that there must be more rebellious thieves lurking under the surface, so he appointed several of his cronies and favorites to form a special court to try the assassination of the emperor - the result can be imagined, under the indiscriminate arrest, torture and bite each other, the scope of the suspects' involvement snowballed like a snowball. And it is obviously very targeted: the nobles and lords who once supported Diabeau's claim to be emperor, the nobles and vassal states who once sent troops to support the Senate in the civil war to quell the rebellion, the imperial elders who have surrendered, and even the noble lords who are just staying out of the matter and maintaining neutrality, have all been charged with treason, and their titles are all removed, and their domains and property are confiscated by the royal family, or used to reward the heroes who sided with Sochar in the civil war, especially those foreign vassal kings who enthusiastically sent troops to support Sochar.

At this point, the trial of the so-called "Great Rebellion" has become a mad act of revenge, or a feast of wealth for the victors of the civil war to divide up the empire. Centuries-old families were slaughtered as a whole, domains and titles were transferred to others, and property became salaries and rewards for legionnaires; Large swathes of the empire's territory on the border were simply occupied by the various vassal states that sent troops to help the war......

The people of Itarica City, who originally thought that they could stay out of the situation, did not escape the catastrophe in the end. Because, Count Vermar of Itarica City was also within the scope of this rebellion, and was ordered by Sochar to revoke the title, confiscate the fief, and return it to the direct jurisdiction of the royal family, and all family members were executed. And the noble ladies of the Rose Knights, their respective families have also been implicated and killed.

But on the other hand, there are also some female knights' families who took refuge in Sochar and sided with the victors of the civil war, so they were rewarded and sealed, but the sealed land was still confiscated from the families of colleagues in the Knights - so, with the news of the Great Rebellion 6 continued, the estrangement within the Rose Knights became deeper and deeper, and 6 continued people began to escape and flee, and then the internal strife of the Rose Knights exploded.

After a short scuffle, because the number of people did not prevail, the rebellious female knights who supported the new emperor had to flee from the city with their attendants and servants, and Penny Pearl, the captain of the White Rose who put down the rebellion, also had to abandon the city in view of their own weak strength.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

“…… After the outbreak of infighting in our Knights, the Count of Vermar also lost control of the entire territory. At that time, I only had about two hundred troops at my disposal, and with a few dozen armed maids in the Count of Vermar's palace, I simply could not control a city of Itarica's size. ”

Pennyju explained to Princess Pinna that she had to flee to the Arnous hills, "...... And the militia in the city refused to obey our orders, and did not dare to oppose the crusading army of the new emperor. In this way, not to mention the regular legions of the Empire, even if there is a slightly larger bandit group coming over, we will definitely not be able to hold the city. Then, several cities to the west of Itarica have been forcibly taken over by the nobles who supported Sochar with their private armies, and the Elbe vassal kingdoms in the south have also sided with Sochar in the civil war, and the Romanian mountains to the east, and the army of Sochar on the other side of the mountains - I don't know where else to go but the Otherworldly people of the Arnous Hills......"

“…… Oh! Oh my God, how did my Knights of the Rose get to this point? ”

Princess Pinna rubbed her temples in pain, "...... Penny Beads, how many people are left in the Order now? ”

“…… When they left Itarica, there were still 200 men in the Order, but because of the weakness and low morale of the army, many of them fled along the way. Captain Pennyjoo replied with a blank face, "...... Now, in addition to the people who were with you before, there are only five knights, thirteen squires, and twenty-two miscellaneous servants left in the entire Knights, and they are now being entertained by the Otherworldly people for dinner...... Oh, and by the way, Countess Vermar and her maids have fled! He is currently being received and interrogated by officials from the Otherworld......"

- That is, the entire knight order is combined, and there are ten knights left and a total number of less than a hundred......

Princess Pinna couldn't help but increase her forehead with her hand, only to feel a sour feeling in her heart, and then she was relieved after giving up on herself.

It's all come to this, where can she manage the Knights of the Rose? Even if the Knights were still full, what would she have to offer?

What else does she have in her hands now? The dormitory that once belonged to her has been destroyed by war and floods, and as for the fiefdom, she has never been obtained. Even the title of Imperial Princess may not be recognized by Emperor Sochar...... No, I guess most of them won't notice my sister. Just by looking at the fact that he did not mention himself in his dealings with the people of the other world, it can be seen that Sochar did not take her to heart at all.

Alas, in that case, where does she have the capital to worry about others now? Who knows when a few heavily armed green-clad soldiers will break down the door, announce their arrest and put them in the dungeon. Or worse, what about directly pledging his useless person to the execution ground to execute the sacrificial flag?

Princess Pinna thought to herself as she staggered back to her bedroom and lay down on the bed, not even thinking of continuing to talk to Penny.
