"What am I fighting for?"

When the most loyal soldiers of the empire involuntarily asked this sentence, it also meant that the war was over.

A war that even the commander gave up.

A war that is not supported by civilians.

Such a war will certainly not be won.

As Kraft said, the empire is over, and from the moment the empire loses the hearts and minds of the people, this war ...... No, it should be said that all the next wars of the empire have been unable to achieve victory.

If I didn't guess wrong.

The reason why the empire has not yet collapsed completely is probably because it has relied on violent means to forcibly suppress discordant voices.

Can violence last?

Inevitably, it can't.

What is foreseeable next is that insurrectionary wars will break out across the empire.

One wrong step and you lose everything.

Who would have thought that just because Eskar leaked such a piece of news to Vega in order to repay his kindness, which was not small or certainly not big, it would be used by Vega to such an extent.

Vega strides into the City of War.

Where he arrived, the Imperial Army was in the rear, and the Imperial Army bowed its proud heads.

Killed 170,000 enemies, surrendered 740,000 troops, within three days, Vega occupied the city of war, after the north, the northwest direction of the empire was captured by Vega, and now the territory of the Jialan Empire has doubled, while the territory of the Nuolan Empire has decreased by 2/5.

The dawn of dawn illuminates the city of war.

Guarded by an army of millions, Vega came to the command building, which had been reduced to ruins.

Right now.

This land of less than 1,000 square meters was the last area occupied by the Imperial Army, but it was already surrounded by a million divisions.

In the dugout of the command building.

Lieutenant Coverdale sat in the doorway of the command room wiping the crosssword in his hand, and there was no sound around him, only the magic lamp that was dying of life flickered and dimmed.

There was no one here except him and Kafin in the conference room.

All the Imperial officers and soldiers except them had come out of the dugouts in the interior for several hours to surrender to the Imperial Army, and Lieutenant Coverdale was not angry at this, because even he did not know what he was fighting for, and why he was asking others not to surrender to the Imperial Army.

It's just that he doesn't want to give up.

Even though Commander Kafin has made it clear that the city of war is over, and the empire is over, he still hopes that the country that once gave him glory can cheer up, and as long as he lives, there is hope, right?

Knock Knock Knock –

He knocked on the office door, but it didn't open.

Lieutenant Coverdale stood outside the door and said, "Your Excellency, it has been quiet outside for a while, the war must be over, please be ready to retreat from the tunnel, the Lower Officer will definitely protect you from the war city." ”

There was still silence.

No one answered Lieutenant Coverdale's words.

"Commander, it's too late if you don't leave. ”

Coverdale repeated it again, but there was still no sound.

Taking a deep breath, Lieutenant Coverdale said in a loud voice: "Commander, since you are unwilling to go, the subordinate can only forcibly take you away, please forgive the subordinate for his rudeness." ”

Bang!

Lieutenant Coverdale slammed open the door to the command room.

In his understanding, there was nothing in the momentary decadence, and as long as these high-ranking officers were alive, there was hope for the future of the empire. Therefore, even if he risked his life, he had to flee here with Kraftin, waiting for the day when these high-ranking officers would regain their strength.

Call him stubborn or stupid.

These high-ranking officers were one of the last straws for the Empire, and even if there was only one in a hundred million hopes, Lieutenant Covertdale wanted to fight for it.

But—

The scene in front of him made him cry.

As a soldier, even if his life hung by a thread, he couldn't make him cry, but at this moment he cried, crying heartbreakingly.

Because there was a corpse in front of him—

The body of the commander-in-chief Kraft Dahlberg.

He committed suicide in the conference room, a dagger stuck in his heart, and lay straight on his desk, blood staining the empire blood-red, and he couldn't close his eyes anyway.

"Why?"

"Why don't you even give me the last shred of hope!"

Lieutenant Coverdale dropped his sword and wept.

At this moment, he realized that the reality was so cold that even the last one in 100 million chance was cut off.

Da Da Da –

The echo of military boots resounded in the silent bomb shelter.

Lieutenant Coverdale knew that the enemy had come in, and that the outside was probably surrounded by a million-strong army.

War City, it's really over.

His illusions were ruthlessly shattered after all.

"Who? ”

There was a shout of rage at the door, and two Dynasty soldiers spotted Coverdale.

It's time to surrender.

Coverdale slowly raised his hands.

But as a human being, even if you can fool yourself into convincing yourself to give up struggling, that beating heart will never be able to accept such a cold reality anyway.

"Let's struggle one more time. ”

Coverdale suddenly picked up the crosssword he had lost, turned and rushed towards the hole to the right.

The black hole was a tunnel for escape, and every high-ranking officer's command room had one such opening, so that the commander-in-chief would have a chance to escape when surrounded by the decapitated troops.

Coverdale doesn't want to give up just yet.

He also wanted to struggle again: "If the top of the empire betrays my hope, then it is up to me to lead the empire back to the top, even if I am only a company commander, I am not as good as one ten-thousandth of you in talent, but only this heart that wants to see the empire rise again is not inferior to you so-called famous generals in the world!"

A lieutenant named Coverdale fled.

A few minutes later, Vega received such a message, but it did not attract his attention, which was completely absorbed by the dead Kraftin.

"Well, why did you get this field? ”

After seeing it, Vega turned and left the command room.

Vega has never been able to understand this kind of unyielding loyalty, if it were him, he would probably have surrendered on his knees, with the status of a general, as long as he chooses to surrender, probably no country will not accept it.

Not understanding is not understanding, Vega does not despise this kind of behavior.

On the contrary, Vega felt a heartfelt admiration for the courage to die for the sake of loyalty.

"Let's start rebuilding the city. ”

Seeing the end of the battle in the City of War, Vega issued an order: "The reconstruction will focus on calming the emotions of the civilians and compensating them for their losses, and I need the 800,000 Imperial troops who surrendered to serve me." ”

After the command.

Vega looked very tired in the direction of the empire and muttered: "Now that the war has been fought now, we can finally relax for a while, and then we will probably just sit and wait for the empire to fall apart, right?"
