I know that Hasenlimpo has secretly reported it to His Majesty the Emperor!, so there is no conspiracy to save it!" Philep listened to his subordinates' analysis of an agreement that should not be deposited, and immediately interrupted his subordinates' words,

For the first time, there was a slight fluctuation in his calm face, indicating that the contents of that agreement were highly classified,

Philip knew very well that the emperor of the Falcon Empire wanted to exchange the emperor's affairs officer, Miss Algernon Julia, for the imprisoned Julils family, once this news was announced, it would definitely be like an invisible earthquake in Gaul, which was already panicked, and it affected not only the nobles, but also the increasingly tough military, a series of defeats of strategic missteps, the prestige of the emperor Xià was severely attacked, and the military power began to rise,

In fact, in the Gallic Empire, in addition to the internal areas directly under the emperor's direct jurisdiction, the outer regions adopted the regional governorship system, so in the north, east and northwest of the Gallic Empire, there are some strong family control zhì, as the central control of the empire army was defeated by the Falcon Imperial Army in a large area, the power with regional legions began to rise, in the past, the emperor used the strong Algernon family to balance the regional forces, but as the emperor's most trusted Kyoto family, because of the previous strategic failure in the northwest and southwest, Algernon Katya and tens of thousands of southwest troops under his command were overwhelmed by the Falcon army, and it was already boiling in Kyoto, many people think that it was the decision-making mistake of the Algernon family that led the empire to lose the northwest and then the southwest, and finally lost one-third of the empire's territory.

The Battle of the Northwest gave the Falcon Empire a chance to rise. The Battle of the Southwest gave the Falcon the capital to rise, and the loss of two regions left the Gallic Empire completely out of control of the west. The West, which had taken a hundred years to stabilize, was given away in just one year, and in some ways, the Algernon family was the culprit for the empire in such a predicament, but two months ago, Algernon Katya, who should have been held accountable, was not punished in any way. Instead, it is reused,

At a time when the Empire's forces were extremely strained, he once again led 20,000 Praetorian Guards to aid Rasti.

Many military generals were resolutely opposed to this rush, and the generals thought that the defeated generals were still qualified to command the Praetorian Guard, and although Rasti failed again and again, Hasenlimbo was also orderly. The number of troops is still maintained at about 300,000. Compared with Rasti, who was like a black hole and consumed 60% of Gaul's troops, it was obvious that these well-fought Janissaries from Kyoto were needed more than the regional combat troops of the northern Slavs.

In the end, the emperor, regardless of regional interests, still supported Algernonkatya to send troops to Rasti's aid, and the generals only reluctantly agreed. But no one would have thought that less than half a month after the reinforcements were dispatched, the Rusti defense line would completely collapse. Coupled with the improvement of the war situation in the north, compared with the two, it makes people feel more and more that the defeat of the empire is due to the emperor's too much favor in the Algernon family, according to the news, some generals from the regional legions are secretly in tandem,

At the Imperial Military Council three days later, he was going to seize the opportunity to express his dissatisfaction to His Majesty the Emperor, asking the Emperor to immediately recall the troops sent by him, re-engage in the battle situation that was being won in the north, completely drive the Slavs out, and recover all the northern regions, instead of throwing himself into the west without restriction and blindly fighting to the death with the powerful Falcon Empire army, because the previous series of defeats had proved that in terms of combat ability alone, the Falcon Emperor's fierce and invincible combat effectiveness was absolutely invincible even if all the generals in Gaul were tied together！

Compromise was far more important than desperate efforts to deal with such a formidable enemy, and although several western provinces had been lost, they were not yet completely to the point of despair for the Empire, but the brutal pressing of the northern Slavs was the reason why the Gauls felt the loss of their country

This is what makes Philip feel embarrassed, if it is now rumored that the Julils family, the Falcon Empire marriage family, is going to be exchanged for another member of the Algernon family who has lost the city and land, I am afraid that it will not be until tomorrow morning, and the voice of the protests of the military generals will boil over the palace gate of His Majesty the Emperor, even if it is the nobles of Kyoto, after the defeat in the battle of Rasti, a large number of family children have been captured or killed in battle, but who can have such treatment as the Algernon family, and exchange the interests of the country for ransom!

"It's really nerve-wracking! About the agreement of Hasenranba, ......" He waved his hand to the subordinate, his eyes became more and more gloomy, and he said in an accentuated tone, "If there is no evidence, this kind of speculation does not need to be written in the report to the Ministry of Intelligence" "You should know the importance of Hasenlimbo to the Western Front of the Empire, although the defeat of the Battle of Rasti is directly related to it, but the Empire still needs him to drag the attention of the Falcon Empire, and the unwarranted suspicion in the rear will only chill the generals who are fighting fiercely on the front line,

"Sue the Minister of Intelligence, Lord Harun, Hasenranpo is still holding on, looking at the western part of the empire, except for him, Hasenranpo can still hold on, and everyone's troops are retreating!

"And according to the report just sent back, Hasenrimbau did not cooperate with the enemy in the province of Philip, but seized the opportunity of the withdrawal of the Falcon Army and tried to launch a counterattack against the Falcon Army, and the Falcon Army has hastily shrunk the defensive line, and even gave up part of the land in the province of Philip."

Philip said as he signed his name on the report on the table and handed it to the middle-aged intelligence officer below, "I believe that in the report on the loss of territory in the west that is floating like snowflakes, this report will make the military department feel embarrassed!"

"Yes, my subordinates understand!"

The middle-aged intelligence officer bent down, respectfully accepted the report, lowered his head with an embarrassed expression, took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat beads on his forehead, he did have the idea of using this report to invite merit, in his mind, the Falcon Emperor wrote a letter to Hasenrambo, what else could it be!

What can make His Majesty the Emperor care so much...... Could it be the rumored Emperor Affairs Officer Algernon Julia who disappeared in the Battle of Rasti! The middle-aged intelligence officer's face was slightly pale, and he was scolded. The woman with a little madness and a terrifying scorpion-like was like a shadow hanging over Imperial Kyoto. If it weren't for the fact that they were said to have been killed in the Battle of Rasti, the generals would never have dared to jump out so blatantly and directly accuse the Algernon family, let alone allow the generals to privately discuss the imperial strategy issues that the emperor had decided

That woman has a perverted loyalty to the emperor, and has absolute control over the Kyoto Janissaries, if she really doesn't die, or returns to Imperial Kyoto alive...... It rained outside the window, but he felt the cold on his back!

In his eyes. The white, glowing raindrops crackled against the windows, all of which seemed to have a hideous hint of red

When the raindrops in Kyoto in Gaul wet the minds of countless people, in the southwest territory thousands of miles away.

A carriage escorted by a team of black cavalry also slowly entered the gate of the southwestern capital of the Falcon Empire in the middle of the night, and the dark streets were not deserted, and all kinds of noisy sounds came from the tavern that had been running all night. As a base camp for attacking the hinterland of Gaul. The transport wagons on the streets were also coming and going late at night, especially with the adjustment order issued in June, the Imperial combat troops returning from the front line in batches, which made the population of the city seem to increase quite a bit.

The streets that had been burned down have been rebuilt, and the central main thoroughfare, which can accommodate four horse-drawn carriages in parallel, has been widened to the sides, and the shops are in the shape of a cross. Along two intersecting main roads, the ruts of the carriages crushed the wide stone paved road. Make a melodious sound like a rhythm,

The fat man put down the curtain in his hand with some relief, after a trip to Kyoto, which was not an empire, and saw the real prosperity of an imperial capital, he finally opened up a little, these newly built streets and buildings faintly exude the taste of a commercial center city, and the brightly lit tavern area is also a good creation, a bit similar to a modern night market,

This made the fat man's original worries relaxed, the southwest territory is the most critical part of the fat man's business plan, the goods transported from the northwest need to pass through the southwest territory to enter the hinterland of the Obaro continent, the goods from the Putao coast to the north, the same to stop at the southwest territory to replenish, and then along the newly opened sail towards the distant Salander, the fat man's goal is to make the southwest territory into a commercial center that can affect the entire Obaro continent, but after all, the time is too short, and the military disaster has been encountered, the southwest territory can be restored in just a few months, it is already quite difficult,

At this moment, the patrol of the city came from the opposite side, and the soldiers walked in order, and at first glance they looked like they had been trained for a long time, and the spears in their hands flashed with a chilling light in the night

Looking at the oncoming black cavalry, the patrol stopped neatly, their eyes were stunned for a moment, and then quickly filled with heat, staring at the carriage under the escort of the black cavalry slowly passing by, on the black door that could not see the material, there was a gorgeous white thorn flower, like a holiness in the dark, the soldiers suddenly had a feeling of blood boiling, neatly straightened their bodies, like a whole row of javelins, black armor, white thorn flower coat of arms, red blood-like war cavalry cloak, in the Falcon Empire only one unit will have, that is, the Falcon Emperor Xià's Imperial Guard Iron Cavalry, the soldiers want their own posture, able to be seen by the clear eyes behind the curtain of the carriage

At the gate of the Southwest Governor's Palace, the Southwest Governor Salon, dressed in the uniform of a regimental commander, was already waiting at the door, he walked back and forth at the door, his cloudy and frightening one-eyed, at this time he looked a little anxious,

Behind him, a young girl in a lilac dress yawned, and a white mass crouched at her delicate and white ankles, it was a big white and chubby white cat, and a pair of big black eyes were like light bulbs in the dark night,

Salong was a little dissatisfied with the girl's sleepiness, and glared at the other party with that cloudy one-eye in a warning manner, the girl had a completely indifferent expression, indifferent, Ssalon's eyebrows frowned slightly,

When it comes to identity, Saron is the governor of the southwest of the empire, the commander of the Northern Legion, and he is definitely a one-sided figure in the political and military circles of the empire, but thinking of this girl with a gorgeous appearance, but in just two months, Salon is also a little jealous in his heart,

Mellon, Rowling, Head of the Imperial Thorn,

If a few months ago, or a little obscure,

But now. This is a name that is enough to make everyone in the underworld shudder, and Salon, who was born as a mercenary, knows better what this woman's name means to the underworld! Its ruthless style has tended to weaken for a period of time, but since it was forcibly transferred by the Falcon Majesty in the southwest collar and beaten hard, the style of the dark thorn suddenly became tougher, or it became more aggressive and bloody than before.

Shunchang's policy of rebellion was resolutely implemented, and the underground forces that did not want to belong were comprehensively cleaned up. At first, there was some resistance from local forces, but with the intervention of the powerful imperial military, the underside forces in the southwest and northwest regions were almost wiped out. In just two months, it seems to be calm on the surface, but every morning, the body of a recently dead person can always be found in an obscure and dark corner. As the governor of the Southwest, Salonn had sent people to investigate.

In the craziest of all, the city guards found one hundred and seventeen corpses in the ditch of the moat of the capital, almost completely chopped into minced flesh and thrown into rotten ditches, floating and soaking in black water, which was disgusting, and even the imperial soldiers who killed people on the battlefield without blinking an eye were a little frightened,

Seeing yourself being ignored. Salons had no choice but to tilt his head, after all, he was also from the underground world. He has always had an opinion on the practice of assassination, and the underground world also has the rules of the underground world, and it is not a very glorious thing for you to always crush a qiē with the power of the military!

A middle-aged man next to him, who was emaciated and wearing a black dress, suddenly said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty suddenly came to the southwest collar, could it be related to the incident that broke out some time ago!"

"What is it?" Salong stopped, the girl's face was indifferent, but her ears moved obviously, and she seemed to be very concerned, "It's ten days ago, the case involving the murder of a merchant group in the downtown area!" The middle-aged man's emaciated cheeks smiled slightly, looking unusually peaceful, like the wind at night, giving people a warm feeling, which is the kind of temperament that only people who have experienced ups and downs have,

"No, it's just a dumping within a merchant group, and a few people have died, does this kind of thing need His Majesty's personal attention?" Salon blinked in disbelief, the person he was talking to was the head of the Southwest Territory Business Alliance, who had just been transferred from China, and for Saron, the two were also old acquaintances with a good relationship

"But what that person said before the time was not simple!" said the middle-aged man with a stern expression, "If this matter is true, it will be very bad, you know, there are hundreds of merchant groups composed of Gallic nobles in the southwest, involving all kinds of aspects, from food, daily necessities, and war materials, which shows that the intelligence network of the Gauls is trying to infiltrate our commercial field, or wants to obtain military information through the commercial field, if you don't pay attention to it, you will suffer a big loss!"

"Intelligence Network?" Salon was stunned for a moment, his eyebrows were tightly wrung together, he was a soldier, and he knew very well what intelligence meant! Suddenly scolded angrily, "Bastard! I know that these Gauls are not trustworthy!" "Actually, it must be this thing, I'm just guessing!" The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment on his face. Your Excellency Siduhan, when is it now, in terms of the time you have followed Your Majesty, you Siduhan is definitely the oldest among the three of us, and this matter also involves the business field, this is not my strength, tell me your opinion, otherwise if Your Majesty asks, I don't know anything, and I won't be beaten by Your Majesty!" Salon was a little anxious, and at the same time glanced at the white ghost-like girl in the purple dress not far away, and muttered in a low voice

"I'll just say, how could His Majesty find this female madman, it seems that there is really such a possibility! During the day, there is an order from the Imperial Guard, His Majesty Falcon will rest in the Southwest Capital tonight, because it is a matter of secrecy, and the guard who ordered the order said that only a few people know that I am one, and the woman who was ordered by His Majesty Falcon to be in charge of rectifying the underground world in the Southwest Territory is one, and the other is you, the head of the Southwest Territory Business Alliance, Si Du Khan, who has just been replaced! That's what you say!"

"I don't know, you know how terrible your majesty is, the first task of setting up a business alliance was to build a similar intelligence network, and now there are people who want to imitate him, but I am afraid that he will die miserably!"

The fat man is based in the Southwest Territory, and he needs a person who can lead the business alliance in the Obaro continent, so he naturally thought of the former president of the business alliance,

After all, he is one of the real henchmen, the former head of the business alliance, very clear about the development of the business network and the goal of strategic expansion, and is definitely the best person to host the Oubaro business alliance network.

"What's so rare about this, just kill them all! No one, naturally there will be no intelligence network" The girl's cold voice floated over, like an intermittent ghost crying in the night, but every word was extremely clear, making people's scalps explode,

As this sentence was finished, the cat at the girl's feet suddenly made a "meow" sound,

In the distance, there was a faint sound of ruts rolling, and the three of them subconsciously glanced at each other, and the falcon was coming......!
