The Candela Empire's daily morning meetings have never been quieter than today.

Ever since His Majesty the Emperor, who presided over the court meeting, announced how to deal with the situation in Metro City as the main topic of this court meeting, the court hall fell into a strange silence, no one spoke, and even everyone's breathing was much weaker.

If a needle falls on the ground at this time, I believe that the sound can be heard clearly.

His Majesty the Emperor Candela had a gloomy face, and his gaze swept over the faces of the rows of imperial ministers below the throne, only to find that all of them were bowing their heads, and none of them had the intention of raising their heads to speak.

After waiting patiently for a while, nothing changed.

This made the anger in the heart of His Majesty Emperor Candela even more angry, he snorted heavily, and said coldly: "Very good, don't you want to take the initiative to say yes? Marshal Sudirman, your military department should be primarily responsible for the situation in Metro City, and you tell me, do you have any plans for your military department?"

Marshal Sudirman, who was standing in the front row of the ministers, paused, then raised his head, took a step forward, and respectfully saluted His Majesty Emperor Candela, and responded: "Your Majesty, the military department is still assessing the current situation in Metro City, and there is no detailed plan for the time being. ”

"Still being assessed?" His Majesty the Emperor Candela sneered. "You might as well just say you can't do it. ”

Marshal Sudirman tugged at the corners of his mouth, revealing an imperceptible wry smile.

He really wanted to say that there was no way, but how could such a thing be said in front of His Majesty the Emperor.

Now that an important city in the empire has been invaded by a foreign enemy and fallen to a foreign enemy, the military department is of course the primary responsibility.

However, the battle report from the front made everyone shocked and speechless. It can even be said that there is nothing to be done. Even Marshal Sudirman couldn't think of a better way to solve this problem for a while.

The reason is simple - even the Magus has been defeated!

As the highest combat power that the Candela Imperial Military Department is most proud of. The Magister has always been a symbol of the Candela Empire's mighty force, and the last card that the military relies on.

Under normal circumstances, the Candela Imperial Military Department does not need to dispatch a combat power of the Magister at all, and can crush the enemy with its own powerful force and achieve victory.

The reason why the Raduka Magister was directly invited this time was mostly because the enemy was the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Because the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce itself has two Magisters, which is extremely rare in the entire continent, so for the sake of safety. This time, the military department invited the Raduca Magister, hoping to recover the city of Metro as soon as possible, so as to prevent the important cities in the empire from continuing to fall into the hands of foreign enemies.

This is the first time this has happened in recent decades.

One day that Metro City remained in the hands of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the shame on the military headquarters of the Candela Empire was even more.

As for the O'Farian Magister, the military department did not invite him to shoot at the same time, but the O'Falian Magister took the initiative to find the door and asked to participate, and of course the military department would not refuse.

All this time, two mages were sent at the same time, and the elite mage corps under the military headquarters were led to attack together, just to be able to recover Metro City in one fell swoop. Nothing goes wrong.

Originally, everyone in the military department thought that since there were two Magiers involved. Then even if the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has no matter how powerful the military magic machinery is, with their pitiful escort team alone, it will definitely not be able to resist it, and Metro City will be easily recovered.

Even if the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce dared to violate the unwritten default rules of the Continental Wizard Circle this time, and let the two Magisters of the Chamber of Commerce also join the war to invade the Candela Empire, then the Candela Empire would not be worthwhile.

And this is a good thing for the Candela Empire.

Because the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce took the initiative to violate this rule, then the Candela Empire can completely ignore this rule and let the nine Magisters belonging to the empire also participate in the counterattack against the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

At the same time, the nine mages in the Maro Empire, who had privately signed an agreement with the Candela Empire, and the three mages owned by the Magic Kingdom of Mana, also had an excuse to take action against the New Flying Chamber.

Although the Candela Empire's invasion of the Ruerson Kingdom suffered a heavy setback, because there was no Magister to join it, the Candela Empire's military headquarters still had absolute confidence.

Now, if the New Flying Chamber of Commerce breaks this rule and attracts the Magisters of the two empires and the Magic Kingdom of Mana to take action, it will be killing itself.

However...... The truth was beyond everyone's expectations.

The two Magisters led the elite mage legion after only one battle in Metro City, and they were actually defeated and returned, not to mention taking back Metro City from the hands of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, and they didn't even touch the edge of Metro City.

And if it's just that they are defeated, it's nothing, because maybe it's also because the two magisters of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, including the president Xu Yi, also took action, but according to the situation reported by the two magisters after they came back, the two magisters of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce did not make a move at all, and even the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce did not even send a single magician at all, so the two magisters and the thirteen great magicians were forced into a desperate situation together.

If it weren't for Xu Yi, the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, who rescued them, including the two Magisters, I'm afraid they would all die without a place to bury!

This result shocked everyone.

It doesn't take a mage to push the two Magisters and the thirteen Grand Mages into a corner, and maybe even kill them all?

This is also too subversive of everyone's common sense.

In the traditional view of Sainz, the mage is the key to the outcome of the battle.

Whoever has more mages on both sides of the battle with a higher number and quality will have an absolute advantage on the battlefield.

This has been proven countless times in the history of the continent of Sainz, and no one ever doubted it.

However, now, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has shattered this concept that everyone agrees with with ironclad facts.

Magisters are not only defeatable. You can even defeat it without using a magician!

This fact instantly plunged the Candela Imperial Military Department into a panic.

If you can't even dispatch a magic master, you can't help the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escort. So what should be done?

The Candela Imperial Military Department has held numerous strategic meetings to discuss the response to this problem these days. However, almost all of them were in a state of confusion because the news that the two magisters had brought back was so shocking that they didn't discuss anything at all.

Marshal Sudirman, as the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Army, was also helpless about this.

He has fought all his life, and he has personally participated in and commanded more than a thousand battles, large and small, but this is the first time he has encountered such a situation.

Even the Magister can't be relied on, so how should this battle be fought?

"Marshal Sudirman, I ask you again. "His Majesty the Emperor will not pay attention to the bitterness in Marshal Sudirman's heart at this time. Seeing that he was silent, his heart became even more angry, and he coldly asked again: "Is it true that your military department can't come up with a solution?" If so, you, the commander of the military department, don't have to do it, and replace it with someone who can come up with a solution. ”

Hearing His Majesty's last words, everyone at the court meeting was shocked, and they all raised their heads and looked at His Majesty the Emperor and Marshal Sudirman in shock.

Marshal Sudirman is known as the god of the Candela Empire, and he has a high prestige in the military department and within the empire, if he is relieved of his command position at this time. That would inevitably cause a great upheaval within the Empire.

Marshal Sudirman was silent for a moment and let out a sigh. Then he saluted His Majesty the Emperor and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, I am not coveting my current position, but at this juncture, I also hope that Your Majesty can give the old minister a chance, let me continue to play a role, command the generals of the army, and continue to deal with this crisis." ”

His Majesty the Emperor Candela snorted coldly, leaned back, and his expression softened slightly.

For the sake of internal stability in the Candela Empire, of course, he could not just deprive Marshal Sudirman of his position as commander-in-chief, and it was only to force Marshal Sudirman.

"Then you tell me, is there really no way to deal with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce? If we can't deal with it now that they have captured Metro City, then what should we do if they continue to invade the interior of the empire, or even Wimbledon?"

Marshal Sudirman was silent for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, based on the current situation, we can already determine a conclusion, that is, try not to engage the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escort team on the frontal battlefield. ”

Hearing this, there was a small confusion in the crowd at the court meeting.

The other ministers exchanged surprised looks, apparently frightened by Marshal Sudirman's words.

The marshal actually said that he couldn't fight head-on with the escort team of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?

Are you kidding!

The empire can have hundreds of thousands of troops, and they all have the most sophisticated equipment and logistical supplies, and the total number of escorts of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce seems to be more than 20,000.

Even if the New Flying Chamber of Commerce Escort had some powerful military magic machinery, so what? could it still be able to compete with the Empire's elite army, which was countless times larger than them?

However, His Majesty the Emperor Candela did not show much surprise at this, but continued to ask, "How can we drive these guys out of our empire if we can't fight head-on?"

"Your Majesty, it is not just the frontal battlefield that determines the outcome of a war, but many other aspects. On the frontal battlefield, there is a big gap between the Imperial army and the escort team of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, but in other aspects, the Empire is countless times stronger than a small New Flying Chamber of Commerce. Of course, it is not only the responsibility of our military department to do this......"

Speaking of this, Marshal Sudirman turned his head, his gaze swept over the other ministers in the court, and his face became extremely cold.

"Your Majesty, in these extraordinary times, we must take some extraordinary measures. ”

A chill instantly passed through the hearts of the other ministers, and they couldn't help but look at His Majesty Emperor Candela.

However, His Majesty the Emperor also glanced at the ministers and nodded slightly.

"You have a point. (To be continued......)
