City of War, Rebel Command.

Vega had met with Coverdale and was in the conference room cubicle with Haussman to listen to the rebels' daily meetings.

"Chief, the brethren can't hold it anymore!"

An officer's loud voice echoed: "Every day there are demonstrations, more and more civilians are storming the headquarters, at first they just threw some rotten eggs, and now they have dared to throw stones at us, and the two brothers were injured as a result, there is no way to go on like this, you either surrender early, or let me give those people some color." ”

"Don't forget your own identity as a civilian. ”

Another thin officer said disdainfully: "Don't think that after being an officer here for a few days, you really treat yourself as a human being, maybe one day the imperial army will attack, and we will lose everything immediately." ”

"Master Wellinger, what do you mean by that?"

The officer patted him hard and said, "Are you saying that it is only a matter of time before we are defeated, and everyone will be reduced to prisoners?"

"Isn't that obvious?"

Wellinger snorted and said, "If you can win, who will surrender? ”

"Wellinger, sit down!"

Coverdale said angrily: "I repeat, I will not surrender, no one is allowed to harm civilians without my order, and those who violate the order will be dealt with according to military law." ”

"I'm sorry, but please forgive me for not being able to do it. ”

Wellinger looked at the leader of the group, Coverdale, and said, "I never thought to contradict you when our army was marching high, because I thought your decision was correct, and you are an extremely wise man. But today, you are no longer you, you have forgotten what we are fighting for, and I will not obey a leader who will not care for the lives of his soldiers for his own selfishness. ”

He bowed deeply towards Coverdale.

"After seven days, if you are still stubborn, I will take my men to surrender to the Imperial Army, because there is no point in continuing to resist," Willinger said. Please understand that we, as civilians, fought to change the Empire, and now that the Empire has changed thanks to our efforts, my men and I have no reason to continue fighting. ”

"Chief, I'm sorry. ”

"I'll be one step ahead. ”

"I agree with Commander Welllin. ”

“......”

One after another, half of the officers left the conference room.

The remaining half of the people also had hesitation on their faces, and only a few scolded angrily: "Wellinger, a traitor, his life was saved by the leader, and now he actually said such a rebellious thing!"

"That's all for today. ”

Coverdale seemed to have tiredness written on his face and waved his hand to adjourn.

Seven days.

If there is no way within seven days, half of the battle will be lost before it has even begun.

The reason is simple, half of the officers led by Willinger are in charge of an army of nearly 200,000, and this surrender is equivalent to breaking an arm, and it will allow more officers and soldiers to follow their example.

Defeat without a fight!

These four words can't help but pop up in Coverdale's mind.

Since you can't wait, then you can only take the initiative to attack?

If sitting still is a slow death, then taking the initiative to attack the Imperial Army is a direct violent death.

He didn't understand what choice to make was the right decision.

"Your Excellency, why are you so confused?"

Vega walked out of the cubicle with Hausman and asked with a smile at Coverdale.

Hearing Vega's voice, Coverdale's eyes lit up.

But this glimmer of light quickly fell silent, and he said with a wry smile: "Just let Your Majesty see your smile, I originally wanted you to take over the next war, but now it seems that you have to run for nothing, I didn't expect the army's morale to collapse so quickly, now half of the officers have not obeyed my orders, I thought I could hold out for another two months......"

He has been imitating Vega.

It is a matter of course to think that it is useless for officers to be stupid, as long as they can obey orders, but now it seems that it is very wrong, these officers also naively believe in the promise of the Empire, and are ready to disobey his orders and surrender to the Empire.

"Isn't there seven days left?"

Vega smiled brightly: "As long as Your Excellency is willing, you must be able to regain your power easily." ”

Coverdale was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "They are already convinced of the Empire's promises, and words can no longer convince them, you should understand the reason why you can't wake up the person who pretends to be asleep, right?"

"Of course I know that. ”

Vega's smile grew brighter: "I have never tried to wake up people who are pretending to be asleep, nor have I tried to persuade the stubborn, the only way I can deal with these people is to keep them asleep forever." ”

"You, you mean ......"

Struggles flashed in Coverdale's eyes.

It's not that he didn't want to kill all these people who violated the order, but no matter how they said they were, they were also his comrades-in-arms who had fought side by side, and now if he wanted him to kill his own people, he couldn't get past this psychological level in the first place.

"May I ask Your Majesty...... Is there any other way?"

Coverdale asked, with a fluke mentality.

Vega said as he put his mask back on, "Of course there is a way, deceive, threaten, plead...... With the right approach, it is easy to dissuade them from surrendering 'temporarily', but the first is the most efficient and time-saving method. ”

"Excuse me, Lord Coverdale, what are you going to choose?"

Vega's last smile was about to be masked by a mask: "With all due respect, for the common people and the bottom of society, enough kindness can make their lives better, and it is not empty talk that good people will be rewarded. But you are no longer a commoner, for a king, mercy, mercy?"

The voice fell.

Coverdale raised his head to meet Vega's eyes that were about to be covered by the mask, "Your Majesty, I won't forget what I've been working on so far, but I've figured out what to do. ”

Vega's masked hand paused.

A flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then the mask completely covered Vega's countenance: "I will look forward to your Excellency's performance." ”

"Your Majesty, please look forward to the dinner tomorrow night. Coverdale gave Vega a military salute.

Vega nodded, and led Hausman out of the conference room.

It's so interesting.

Vega's eyes gleamed with excitement, for his words were undoubtedly advising Coverdale that if he wanted to become a true king, he had to give up the mercy and mercy in his heart and kill his subordinates who did not obey his orders.

But Coverdale rejects Vega's words.

He told Vega that he didn't want to be a king, and that he wouldn't go against his original intention of starting a rebellion against the rotten Imperial regime in order to save the people of the Empire, but he knew how to do it.

The same goes for that—

Kill all the subordinates who disobey the order, and then return to power.

If Vega, as the king, abandoned all benevolence and could sacrifice his subordinates without hesitation, then Coverdale, who wanted to be the savior, killed his subordinates in order to save the people and overthrow the power of the empire.

It's the same approach, but the reasons are opposite.

This success aroused Vega's intense curiosity, and he couldn't help but mutter, "Angel, or demon, good, or evil, I want to see where this good or evil can take you." ”
