It is to die with dignity standing up.

Or throw away your self-esteem, kneel on the ground and steal your life.

The veteran general of the military has torn the fig leaf of everyone here and ...... the so-called pride, dignity, and glory of the empire trampled on the ground, and at the same time put these two choices naked in front of everyone.

For military personnel, glory is above all else.

Several military generals snorted at the old general, and after scolding a few cowards, they stood up and said loudly: "For soldiers, losing their dignity and glory is more terrible than dying immediately, I hope that the three adults can gamble everything and fight to the death with the Holy Dragon Kingdom!"

Hearing the generals of the military say this, the politicians who had just scolded the most fiercely, stood on the moral high ground, and unscrupulously condemned the old general for having no dignity at all, finally became afraid.

They were afraid that the controllers of the three powers would listen to the words of that group of barbarians and really fight against the Holy Dragon Kingdom.

For politicians, as long as they can keep the empire, dignity and glory have to stand aside, and the reason why they condemned others at the beginning was just to be a bitch and set up a memorial arch, but when it came to the critical moment, of course they immediately changed their words.

A high-ranking official stood up and said: "Three lords, now that our army has been defeated, although it seems that there are many generals, but in this case, as soon as the war starts, it is inevitable that there will be a large-scale rout, and then it will really be over." ”

As a senior official said.

The reason why the army and society have not all collapsed now is that the empire has not yet bet all its chips on a battle to the death with the Holy Dragon Kingdom. Once the Empire bets everything on a decisive battle, it only needs to be defeated once...... Even a small rout, with the loss of less than 10,000 soldiers, could crush the last vestiges of confidence in the army and the nation.

For countries that have lost their faith, the end is already obvious.

So the politicians are afraid, they would rather choose to retain their strength, to convince the people and the army that they still have room to fight back, and definitely do not want to launch a final decisive battle at this time, but the enemy has already reached the central region, and their only option besides the decisive battle is to directly outsource this war to the Holy Dynasty.

That's right, it's the word 'outsourcing'.

The old general's advice showed them the way forward, and these politicians were actually very keen to let the Holy Dynasty take over the war by paying some price, which they could accept as much as the destruction of the country.

"In summary. ”

The senior official said in a sad tone: "For the sake of the people and the empire, I hope that the three lords can temporarily put aside their glory and dignity, pay some price to ask the Holy Dynasty for assistance, and when the army of the Holy Dragon Kingdom is pacified, it is not too late for us to regain the lost dignity, history is always written by the ultimate victor." ”

"Hmph, a group of people who are greedy for life and afraid of death. ”

The military staff officers and politicians were at loggerheads, and the judges of the trial system were not to be outdone, and joined in the battle against the politicians, after all, the trial corps controlled the law and justice, and was naturally disgusted by the words of politicians.

In the midst of the quarrel, it finally entered the voting stage.

First of all, the Grand Speaker directly voted for the choice of seeking the help of the Holy Dynasty, although he once thought that it was extremely shameful to sell dignity and glory, but this time it was different, their enemy Wurm.

Those wurms seem to be extremely hostile to humans.

They have done all kinds of evil in the cities they occupy, and they regard mankind as pigs, so the Speaker thinks that now is not the time to be a hero, and he can die for the dignity and glory of his country, but he cannot become a sinner of mankind through the ages.

Therefore, he did not hesitate to vote in favor.

On the other side of him was the Grand Judge, who uttered the first sentence since the beginning of the meeting: "I just want to ask the Speaker and the Führer to remember what we have said - the Empire does not know what to compromise!"

One positive and one negative.

The final decision again fell to the Führer.

Seeing this, the officers and the people of the trial system, of course, showed a triumphant smile.

Those politicians have also lost all hope for the outcome of the vote, because the military has always regarded glory and dignity as their lives, and as their supreme commanders, is it still looking to them if they do not look to their own people?

Just when everyone thought that the big picture was decided, the Führer's vote was unexpected by everyone -

Agree!

As the ruler of military power, the Führer actually agreed to turn to the Holy Dynasty for help?

What is the difference between such behavior and denying the strength of one's own subordinates, and turning one's back on dignity and glory?

As a role model for soldiers, it is a bit too much.

For the first time, the presiding judge showed a dissatisfied expression: "Your Excellency, please give me a reason. ”

"An empire can die standing up, but not for the empire this time. ”

The Führer's reply was affirmed by the Speaker, who gave him great appreciation.

In contrast, the presiding judge fell into a long silence.

After a few minutes, he raised his head and looked at the two of them and said, "A Holy Dragon Country, is it worth rising to this height?"

"The tens of millions of bones in the City of Bauhinia are a lesson from the past. ”

"I'm sorry, but I'm blind. ”

The Grand Judge let out a slow sigh, apparently agreeing with the choice given by the Führer and the Speaker.

He already understood that as the strongest country in the continent, he should indeed make some sacrifices for the sake of mankind, and if he continued like this, when the morale of the Holy Dragon Kingdom was completed, he was afraid that no one in this continent would be able to stop them.

How terrifying the combat power blessing brought by consecutive victories was something that the empire that was crisscrossing the four directions at that time was deeply aware of it.

Therefore, the next day, the empire sent an envoy to the city of ice and fire.

It is indeed the City of Fire and Ice, not Yves Saint Laurent.

Because Vega and Ocassos have been paying attention to the battle situation on the Empire's side, especially Vega, who needs to decide which countermeasures to take according to the next battle situation, they have not returned to Saint Laurent at all.

The purpose of the messenger was obvious, and that was to find Vega and Okassos.

Originally, this was not in line with etiquette, because this kind of military affairs should be discussed with the queen of the dynasty according to etiquette, instead of not even arriving at Saint Laurent, the capital of the dynasty, and running directly to the city of ice and fire to find two courtiers.

But the matter is urgent.

Since the army of the Holy Dragon Kingdom is very fond of fast attack and is advancing the battle line almost every day, there is not much time left for the empire, so the empire is forced to directly cross the queen and find Vega and Ocassos.

"Please look at the identity of the human race and help our country repel the Holy Dragon Kingdom. ”

The messenger saluted Vega and Ocasos very respectfully, completely without the arrogance he had before.

Seeing this, Vega could say that Ocasus was as if he had discovered a new continent, his eyes were full of incredulity, and now he even wanted to ask, is this still the arrogant empire that he used to be?
