Chapter 723: The Last Supper
The next night.
The rebel chief, Coverdale, sent invitations to all senior officers.
He invited the officers to the final dinner.
In the invitation, this final dinner party was particularly prominent, so that Wellinger and the others could understand at a glance that their threat had worked, and that this was probably the last casual meal, after which Coverdale would probably initiate a surrender.
Dangerous?
It's simply not possible.
They've worked with Coverdale for so long, they know this guy in Coverdale all too well.
The person who did not dare to order the soldiers to do it to civilians until now, and blocked the arrows for his comrades several times on the battlefield, how could he attack his comrades-in-arms who fought side by side, which is why they dared to force the palace again and again.
Because Coverdale is not a qualified king.
In the eyes of everyone, he is a merciful savior, and such an upright and just being can never do insidious and cunning things.
Squeak β
The door of the banquet hall opened, and one by one the officers entered.
"The war is finally over. β
Wellinger drank it from his goblet, his heart filled with infinite melancholy.
"That's not a bad thing, is it?"
A staff officer replied to Wellinger: "I have begun to miss the life of the commoners, and I did not expect that I, an ordinary farmer, would one day be able to do something for us civilians, and force the high-ranking officials of the empire to compromise with us." β
"Hey, hey, don't be so sentimental. β
A big man put his arm around Willinger's neck: "Even if the war is over, we are still comrades-in-arms who can exchange backs with each other. β
β......β
The atmosphere of the Lords on Wellinger's side was harmonious, and they looked forward to surrendering to the Empire, receiving the Empire's pardon and compensation, and returning to the life of the common people, which was once the life they were most accustomed to, but now out of reach.
There is the main faction, and of course there is the main battle faction.
In another corner of the banquet hall, several officers glanced resentfully at Verlin: "It's all those damned farmers, otherwise how could the leader surrender, we obviously still have the strength to fight." β
"If you put one person under you and live above ten thousand people, you want to live back to the life of a commoner?"
Another division commander snorted and said, "What a group of rat-eyed farmers, the reason why the rebel army has been defeated one after another is because of this group of people who are bent on returning to the empire. β
"No matter what, I will never surrender!"
A staff officer chimed in: "I've had enough of the ordinary life, isn't the reason why I joined the rebels just to get out of the way? Now I'd rather die than surrender to the empire and go back to the past." β
"I must make a suggestion to the Chief!"
There were sparks in the eyes of several people, and once Coverdale offered to surrender later, they would desperately try to stop it.
For careerists, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, they are not willing to give up, this is their only chance to get out of the land, to gain the right, to enjoy one person under ten thousand people, they can no longer go back to the past.
Da Da Da β
The sound of footsteps echoed.
The protagonist of the banquet may be late, but he will certainly not be late.
Coverdale stood in the center of the banquet: "Thank you for being invited to this final dinner, and I would like to announce to you something important and why this dinner is called 'The Last Dinner.'" β
"Lord Commander!"
Before Coverdale could speak, a voice came from the corner: "Are you going to surrender to the Empire?
"Sitney! Don't forget what we were meant to do!"
Wellinger angrily pointed at the division commander and said: "We are an organization established for the benefit of the people, and now that our goal has been achieved, there is no need for this organization to exist, and continuing to fight is not to help civilians, but to bring them pain and disaster, we want peace, not war." β
"It's disgusting to take your Virgin's heart away. β
Sitney's eyes were full of disdain, and he unceremoniously pointed at Willinger and scolded him, so the main battle faction and the main surrender faction insulted each other at the banquet, and the whole banquet seemed very noisy.
"Ahem......"
"Please be quiet. β
Coverdale's unfurnished voice echoed, "So far, I've never said I'd surrendered. β
When the words fell, the banquet was dead for a while, and then the main surrender faction led by Willinger said angrily: "Your Excellency, since you do not surrender, what does it mean to hold such a final banquet? Are you fooling us? We will not accompany this kind of boring banquet." β
As he spoke.
Willinger led the way towards the door, followed by the Lord Descendant.
But just then, a voice came.
Rumble!
The door to the banquet was shut, and bands of soldiers poured out from both sides, with high-ranking armed forces in the middle of the gate.
"What do you mean, Chief?"
Willinger forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and turned to look at Coverdale who was high above.
"I'm not fooling you. β
Coverdale's emotionless voice echoed, "Because for all of you, this is indeed the final dinner." β
Shalaβ
Coverdale pulled out a letter.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have all been deceived by Willinger and the others. β
"Eleven officers led by Wellinger have already secretly surrendered to the Empire, remaining in our army as a spy to cholerize our morale and intend to make us surrender without a fight. If it weren't for the interception of this letter from the Empire by the Ministry of Intelligence, even I would have been almost kept in the dark, after all, who would have thought that the comrade-in-arms he saved at the risk of death would be a traitor?"
Whoop -
The faces of the officers changed on the spot, and Willinger and the other ten officers had an unbelievable look in their eyes.
The ...... of integrity, justice, and fraternity Isn't this really a dream?
"Coverdale!"
Wellinger gritted his teeth, and his voice squeezed out between his teeth: "Are you trying to frame us?"
"Framed?"
Coverdale said with a sad expression, "The evidence is conclusive, how long will you resist?" β
"Traitor, now that you've been exposed, how long are you going to act?"
The main battle faction Sitney was proud, stood up and pointed at Willinger and said: "Traitors should be punished on the spot, guards, kill them for me, don't think about cholering our military hearts again!"
With Coverdale's consent.
Wellinger and the eleven other officers who controlled most of the army were all wiped out, and they could not believe until they died that the venerable rebel leader Coverdale would swing a butcher's knife at them.
After the death of Wellinger and the others, their army was also taken over by Coverdale as soon as possible.
Until now.
Coverdale finally unified the voices in the military.
Vega, who had been watching the situation on the second floor, drank the juice in his hand.
He smiled and said to Hausman: "This Coverdale is really a bit interesting, he obviously has the potential of a king, but he wants to be a savior, what do you think of this person?"
