Power is a poison, some people can struggle in the whirlpool of power to keep their hearts unchanged, this is commendable, but more people will be lost in the various wealth, dignity and majesty brought by power, like deep in the whirlpool, unable to extricate themselves.

Saint-Lance Empire, Royal City, Mansion of the Three Princes, Night.

It is a large side hall, which is usually a living room for a grand banquet, as you can see from the neatly arranged tables, chairs, and tableware, the exquisite frescoes and the red carpet.

Whenever the owner is interested, there will be aristocrats shuttling back and forth, beautiful women, talking, dancing, laughing under the lights, and joy in the shadows, which is desirable and depraved.

Not long ago, Havana's favorite thing to do was to hold all kinds of lavish banquets here, and the nobility and even the royal family reciprocated to a certain extent, because when his father abdicated and one of his brothers became emperor, this drunken life would be far away from him without the status of a prince.

It is also because of this depravity that many people will let down their guard.

But today was different, there was no fragrant food, no staggered entertainment, no beautiful maids shuttling around, just a group of guests standing around the center of the hall.

Standing in the center of the field is a warrior in black armor, dark, metallic armor is the standard heavy armor of the Reims Empire, designed for the forefront of the war, designed for comrades to resist fatal damage of heavy armor soldiers, using special materials, just a body of armor weighs hundreds of catties, non-strength professionals can not use.

The armor was opened, revealing a young face, which was none other than the owner of the room, the third son of Saint-Lance VI, Saint-Havana-Reims.

At this time, the whole hall was silent, except for his passionate voice.

"Thirty months ago, in the northern part of the empire, at the night outpost, a regiment, a total of three hundred and fifty-eight soldiers stationed on the frontier, were silently torn to pieces, and it is said that not even a single limb could be found, and the enemy, unknown. ”

"Twenty-eight months ago, three thousand one hundred and fifty-eight inhabitants, one thousand and fifty-three guardian warriors, and three honorary knights of North Arlington, the eastern capital of the Empire, were killed in battle, and the head of Lord Arlington was hung on the gate.

However, this time, one of the spellcasters enshrined by Baron Arlington escaped, so we knew that it was the devil who ransacked this place, a servant of Grand Duke Maman from the third level of Bato's hell. To this end, the Empire sent the mighty Thor's Whip Legion, but in the end nothing came of it. ”

"Twenty-five months ago, there were traces of all kinds of monsters all over the empire, and some legendary creatures that existed were wreaking havoc everywhere, even if the lords from all over the country sent capable professionals, but most of them did not turn out very well, and the letters for help were sent to the royal city like snowflakes. ”

"Twenty-three months ago, in the western part of the empire, the city of Irvington was breached by demons, and nearly 300,000 people died in the entire city, and 100,000 became displaced and fled everywhere. However, this is just the beginning. ”

"Twenty months ago, in the eastern part of the empire, the city of Maplewood was destroyed, infested by vampires, and hundreds of thousands of people became blood slaves. ”

"Eighteen months ago, in the northern part of the empire, the Thor's Whip Legion was ambushed, and after a fierce battle, the entire army was wiped out......"

"Seventeen months ago, the western part of the empire, Newark City, was slaughtered, and all the corpses were reduced to dried corpses......"

“......”

"Fifteen months ago, in the eastern part of the empire, the city of Russell ......"

“............”

"Eleven months ago, in the south of the Empire, Orange City ......"

"Eight months ago, a massive plague broke out in the north of the Empire, a strange disease spread wantonly, people died in pain, but the corpses would become man-eating monsters, which was the black hand of the devil, and directly caused the Empire to retreat to Ironhoof Mountain to form a new defensive line.

However, the empire has completely lost three provinces, including Newmans, and the north of Ironhoof Mountain has completely become a hunting ground for the devil. ”

Then, five months ago, in the eastern part of the empire, the city of Belleville was raided and fell, and the empire lost its largest grain field. ”

“......”

"I think as everybody, you've heard more or less about this news, and you've prepared it in private, but you don't really understand what it means behind the data?"

This means that in three years, only thirty-five months to be exact, the territory under the direct control of the Holy Lance Empire has been reduced from twenty-four provinces to less than eight, and the number of cities that have been breached is one hundred and three, including nineteen ancient cities with a history of more than a thousand years, and the death toll is simply incalculable, even if the recorded professional injuries are exceeded. ”

"And the empire was formed at the beginning of its existence, with a total of forty-four Zhenguo legions, and nearly a million strong soldiers, and now, there are only seven and a half, and seven and a half legions surround the eight provinces that are still under control, forming the absolute defense belt that we now advocate, that is, the so-called Iron Curtain Line. ”

"Huh!"

Havana laughed a few times mockingly, and his voice suddenly raised: "So, do you think this Iron Curtain defense line can really stop it?"

"Your Highness, do you mean you can't stop it?!"

At a glance, there are standard aristocratic sons, scholars in robes, warriors with strong temperament and very regular manners, mercenaries with unruly eyes, directly wearing hunter suits, and weapons appearing, and even a few 'mud legs' with dark complexions and slightly panicked expressions.

And the one who spoke was a fat man dressed as a businessman, although he was dressed gorgeously, but he gave people a sense of ridiculousness like a monkey, but no one laughed at him at this time, because he asked the uneasiness in everyone's hearts.

"The empire has lost its largest grain producer, lost the province with the most mineral deposits, lost the homeland of its bravest warriors, and lost countless people and hearts, and has lost so much, do you really think that it can be stopped by just one line of defense?"

"Moreover, from ancient times to the present day, there has never been a war that has been won by defense alone. When the commanders and soldiers don't even have the heart to fight to the death, defeat is only a matter of time. ”

"Actually, everyone knows this result very well, but they just don't dare to admit it, including me. Before going to the Rose Collar, I let the ballroom be lit up every day, and I let the maids dress up in the most gorgeous clothes, and I sang and danced with the beautiful ladies, and explored the 'mysteries' of the body with passion. ”

"I try to have as much pleasure as I can, and I don't even want my brain to be clear, because I know my time is running out. I have extraordinary strength, but I never show it, because I know I can't save others. ”

"I'd rather sink in wine. ”

"Then, Your Highness......" the fat merchant spoke again, and he cried out in horror, "are we really hopeless?"

Some guests couldn't help but scold in their hearts, can this 'Tuo' acting skills be serious, it's too fake, it's just insulting our IQ, but they didn't find it, this thought only flashed for a moment, they still stared at the third prince, wanting to hear what he still wanted to say.

They clearly know that a prince who preaches like this is not just spreading despair.

Sure enough, Havana perked up and said, "If it were before going to the Rose Collar I would have answered that you didn't, no, I wouldn't even talk to you about it, but now, I'd love to tell you that I've found it, I've found the opportunity and the way to redeem." ”

"On the other side of the sea, those former betrayers have done a very good thing, they have launched an attack on the demons, not a simple encirclement and resistance as you imagined, but an invasion, yes, they have gathered a strong enough legion to go straight to hell. ”

"On the western coastline, the once-feuding principalities put aside their prejudices and formed a kingdom even more powerful than the three empires had in their heyday, the Hundred Tribes Alliance, and then they declared war on the invaders. ”

"The dragon clan has made a move, the king who guards the dragon city has issued an edict, and the dragon city messengers are running around, they are waiting for the dragon city's order. ”

"It is said that the Phoenix Clan also took action, and the Guardian Phoenix Realm sent people to contact the various demonic beast nests. ”

"Even in the Land of Mercenaries, the Legendary Majesty of the Miracles has delivered the order, the Round Table has reopened, and several Majestys have gathered there. ”

"These are all I know, and perhaps there are some powerful kings in action in the unknown corners, and this all shows one thing - the situation on the continent is about to change, a tide of resistance to the invasion is about to rise, and this is our chance to survive. ”

After saying it in one breath, Havana soothed his tone, his gaze slowly swept over everyone, sharp and impossible to look at, and after a pause, he spoke again:

"The general trend has been achieved, but under the general trend, there are not only those who ride the wind and waves, but also those who are shipwrecked and killed. There is an opportunity, but this is only an opportunity, can we seize it, how to ride the wind and waves, we need to do more?"

The merchant said at the right time: "Your Highness, then you say, what should we do?"

"You should all know that in the Rose Collar, the new Grand Duke Igor, yes, yes, that is, the 'bastard of good fortune' in your mouth, is the purest blood of Augustus, and everyone believes that behind him stands the legendary family of Augustus. ”

"However, what impressed me most about him was not his background, not his strength, not the strong legion under him, but the fact that he said in front of everyone that he had suffered at the hands of a devilish grand duke, but this did not play, and he would eventually find his way back. ”

Yes, he called out the name of the Grand Duke, and he knew that as the king of that being, he could sense everything he said, but he remained fearless. ”

"If the Saint-Lance Empire wants to take advantage of the trend, if it wants to regain the mountains and rivers under the general trend, the first thing we need to do is to make our voices heard, which is to say 'no' to all the invaders of the other world.

Because only in this way can we unite all the forces that can be united, can we let everyone stand under this clear banner, and because only in this way can we inspire all people to have the courage to face all difficulties. ”

"And to do that, we have to have ...... Change!"

No matter what kind of attitude you have come, no matter what you have thought in your heart, after this speech, everyone's hearts can't help but fall into contemplation.

No one is a fool, and Havana did not hide his thoughts, he wanted to unite those present, and through them to unite more people, so as to help him ascend to the supreme throne of the Saint-Lance Empire, but he used a different method than others.

He didn't make promises, he didn't talk to everyone in the room about the benefits that could actually be given.

But he also made the biggest promise, he has the means, the plan, the ability to lead everyone to break the current deadlock, out of a broad road.

In the crowd, there was also a young nobleman in a crisp tuxedo who stared feverishly at Havana, his reaction was no different from the others, but from time to time he shook his body to face everyone present.

To be exact, it was a special badge on his chest that faced everyone, and under the faint flickering of magical fluorescents, all the sounds and lights present were recorded and transmitted to unknown distances. Chapter 702: The Storm Rises (2)
